Chapter 707 Treasure
Just when Chang Sen was in chaos and was about to slap Jianwen's vitals according to his words, a voice sounded faintly:

"Your Majesty, do you still want to see your queen mother?"

The owner of this voice is Zhuang Jing, so Master Zhuang is naturally worried that his monarch and his subjects will meet alone.In fact, the room was custom made with hollow copper pipes running under the bed and out the walls.In this way, the other end of the copper pipe outside the wall can be heard clearly.At first Jianwen said 'Kill me', Mr. Zhuang didn't hear it clearly, but after hearing it, he realized what was going on, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock.What are you kidding, the success or failure of his big plan is all on Jianwen, if this guy burps, how will he sing the next scene?
At this time, it was too late to stop him, not to mention that there was Chang Sen, the world's number one expert, in the room, so helpless, Mr. Zhuang had no choice but to yell and use up all the dry goods at the bottom of the box.

Sure enough, upon hearing this call, Jianwen's eyes widened immediately, and Chang Sen also came to his senses in time, and hurriedly withdrew his hand, knelt down and said, "he deserves death".Jianwen was in a daze, and ignored him at all, his whole body was seduced by Zhuang Jing's voice, and his whole body froze.

Before he knew it, Emperor Jianwen burst into tears, and finally cried out like a cuckoo weeping blood: "Mother..." Immediately, his eyes darkened, and he fell on his back to the ground.But with Chang Sen around, he would be fine. With a flick of his body and a stretch of his ape's arms, Chang Sen had already held Jianwen in his arms and laid him gently on the bed.

At this time, Zhuang Jing finally walked around to the door, hurriedly opened the door and came in, and saw Chang Sen's murderous eyes.But Zhuang Jing didn't care about him anymore, his eyes fell on Jianwen, and he asked repeatedly: "What's wrong with him? Did you really kill him?"

"I'll kill you!" Chang Sen suddenly raised his arm and grabbed Zhuang Jing's neck.Zhuang Jing's guard was taken aback for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Let go of our lord!"

On the other hand, Zhuang Jing remained calm in the face of danger, and waved his hand to signal his subordinates not to mess around.Sure enough, at the next moment, Chang Sen still let go of his hand, and said bitterly: "Your Majesty was just agitated for a while and passed out." He said coldly: "What you just said is true? The Queen Mother is still alive?"

This empress dowager is not that empress dowager, not Chang Sen's sister Chang.As the eldest daughter of Chang Yuchun, after marrying Zhu Biao, the crown prince of Yiwen, the Chang family was registered as the crown princess by the emperor Taizu. In the seventh year of Hongwu, she gave birth to Zhu Xiongying, the eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty, and later gave birth to Zhu Biao The third son, who later became King Zhu Yunxi of Wu.But she didn't live long, and Hong Wu died in 11 years.A few years later, Zhu Xiongying, the eldest grandson of the emperor, also died.

In this way, it turned out that the prince's side concubine, Lu Shi, was established as the prince concubine, and Lu Shi gave birth to four sons for Zhu Biao.The biggest one among them is Zhu Yunqi, the second son of the emperor.After the death of his father and brother, Zhu Yunwen was established as the emperor's grandson by Zhu Yuanzhang. After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, he inherited the Ming Dynasty.

In the first year of Jianwen, Emperor Jianwen respected his biological mother Lu as the empress dowager, and at the same time respected his aunt Chang as empress Xiaokang.Therefore, although Emperor Jianwen was called Uncle Chang Sen, he was not from the Fei family, but from the Empress Dowager Lu.

Of course, after Zhu Di succeeded in usurping the throne, he has already abolished the title of Jianwen Institute, demoted the long-dead Chang family to "Princess Jingyi", and demoted the other living emperor's wife, Empress Dowager Lu, to Crown Princess Yiwen .At that time, the city of Nanjing was broken, Jianwen set fire to the palace, and the capital was in chaos. Empress Dowager Lu, her 12-year-old son Xu Wang Zhu Yunxi, and the two-year-old grandson Zhu Wengui wanted to escape from the capital, but they were caught and sent to Zhu Di for reward. .Zhu Di took her to his barracks and cried that he was not allowed to rebel.In order to protect her young children and grandchildren, Empress Dowager Lu had no choice but to be obedient and dare not complain.And he took the initiative to ask his children and grandchildren to guard the tomb of her husband Zhu Biao.Since Zhu Di was playing the banner of Qing emperor's side rather than rebellion, he naturally couldn't hurt his imperial sister-in-law. Seeing that she was so knowledgeable and interesting, he couldn't ask for it. They went to live in Yiwenling.

As for Zhu Wengui, the son of Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Di sent him to live in the Imperial Palace of Zhongdu on the grounds that he was still young and could not bear the hardships of wind and frost.Empress Dowager Lu is already a fish on the chopping board, so she can only let it go, and under the escort of the brigade Jin Yiwei, she went to live in Dongling where Zhu Biao died...

In fact, Zhu Di still had the idea of ​​using the emperor's wife to fish, and sent many people to closely monitor his emperor's wife, hoping to catch Jianwen's former minister who came to pay a private visit to the former empress dowager, and then follow the vine to catch Zhu Yunqi.It is true that many people have been arrested over the years, but those loyal ministers would rather die than submit, even if they know Jianwen's whereabouts, they will not reveal it...

After a long time, no one dared to approach Yiwen Mausoleum, and no one even knew about the life and death of Empress Dowager Lu...

Over the years, Emperor Jianwen had thought of dying countless times, and the reason why he was able to survive was all because of his concern.There are three so-called concerns. One is the prince Wenkui who fled the capital with him. He was only seven years old at the time and hadn't grown up yet. But now that Wenkui is in his 20s, Jianwen naturally no longer worries.The two are the second son of the emperor, Wen Gui.Jianwen had two sons in total. When the city of Nanjing was broken, the second son was only two years old. He couldn’t take him out of the capital, so he could only cruelly leave him with his mother. Later, he was captured by Zhu Di and sent to Zhongdu for house arrest...

And Jianwen's biggest concern is his mother, Queen Mother Lu.At the beginning, he left his mother and fled, which had become his biggest knot. When he dreamed back at midnight, he did not know how many times his clothes were wet with tears. He really wanted to see his mother again, and wanted to know how she was doing these years and how much she ate. bitter...

The reason why he has been reluctant to leave the south of the Yangtze River and take refuge in Nanyang or Yunnan and Guizhou is because the ministers still have the desire to restore the country, but for him, it is really because he can't let go of the concerns in his heart...

.

"Ahem, I never lie." Zhuang Jing moved his burning throat with his hands, coughed again and again: "General, you have to take it easy next time, I can't stand your tossing like this."

"You can really..." Chang Sen took a deep look at him, swallowed the last word, nodded and said, "You really want to arrange for their mother and child to meet?"

"At the right time." Zhuang Jing said, seeing Chang Sen's eyes turning cold, he hurriedly changed his words: "Now is quite the right time..."

"I want to accompany His Majesty." Chang Sen said.

"That doesn't comply with the agreement." Zhuang Jing shook his head decisively and said, "No."

"Don't you want to get the treasure of Jianwen?" Chang Sen said lightly.

"Oh..." Hearing the words 'Jianwen Treasure', Zhuang Jing's eyes shot out two lights '嗖'.Folk legend has always been that after King Yan's army crossed the Yangtze River, Emperor Jianwen's monarchs and ministers had a premonition that the capital would not be safe. In order to preserve their strength and make a comeback, Qitai, Huang Zicheng and others packed the gold, silver and jewels accumulated by Emperor Hongwu in the palace treasury for a full ten. Several ships were transported from the capital to somewhere in the south.

There are also legends that these treasures are so tempting that even the Dragon King was tempted. When the boats were sailing on the river, a hurricane suddenly appeared, and all these treasure ships sank to the bottom of the river, and they disappeared without a trace...

Some people also say that there are no treasures of Jianwen at all. At that time, the city of Nanjing was destroyed, and Emperor Jianwen set fire to the palace, and even the treasures left by his ancestors were all burned to the ground...

In short, there are all kinds of legends and strange stories, and there are so many people who are tempted to hunt for treasures, but they all find nothing.Over time, the so-called treasures of Jianwen have become the talk of common people after dinner...

But Zhuang Jing knew that in the past ten years, Jin Yiwei has never given up on the pursuit of this treasure.Because real gold is not afraid of fire, after the fire in the palace was extinguished, Ji Gang was ordered to put the palace under martial law. One was to search for the remains of Jianwen, and the other was to search for the millions of taels of gold and silver in the inner treasury, but they found nothing... But according to the eunuch in charge of the treasury According to the records in the palace, before the city of Nanjing was broken, there were tens of millions of taels of gold and silver in the inner treasury, and there were countless jewels and jade articles.These things cannot disappear out of thin air, so there is only one explanation, that is, Emperor Jianwen transported them away in advance.

Zhu Di handed over the task of searching for Emperor Jianwen to Hu Yun, and the task of searching for the treasure fell to Ji Gang.I originally thought that people are alive, but treasures are dead, and treasures that can't be pulled by thousands of carts must be easier to find than people. Who knows that after more than ten years, there is still nothing...

Zhuang Jing was responsible for this matter back then, and in the following years, he and Ji Gang talked about this treasure several times, and they all lamented that if they could find it and keep it for themselves, why bother to ruin their reputation, blackmail and blackmail officials? Although the money they got was quite a lot, it was just a drop in the bucket for such an expensive and costly business as a rebellion.

After capturing Emperor Jianwen, Zhuang Jing also wanted to pry his mouth open, but Jianwen didn't know what to ask, and Zhuang Jing didn't dare to use torture, so he could only dismiss this idea.Seeing that Chang Sen actually spoke out on his own initiative, he was of course overjoyed, and immediately calmed down and said, "You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"If there is one person in this world who knows, it is me." Chang Sen said coldly, "Who am I, there is no reason to lie!"

"That's true." Zhuang Jing nodded and asked, "Where is the treasure?"

"I can't say it now," Chang Sen said slowly, "This money is a special fund for His Majesty's restoration of the country. When His Majesty agrees to go out and rebuild the world, we will naturally take it out!"

"There's nothing to talk about like this." Zhuang Jing narrowed his eyes and said, "You must hand over the treasure, and I can let you follow Jianwen to Dongling!"

"Hahaha," Chang Sen laughed loudly, "It's too expensive to buy the toll!" He cupped his hands and walked out, "Seeing that you care so much about Your Majesty, I'm relieved, and we will still follow the Make an appointment!"

While walking out, Chang Sen silently recited 'one, two, three' in his heart, before he counted to three, Zhuang Jing said from behind him: "Wait a minute..."

There was an imperceptible sneer at the corner of Chang Sen's mouth, he stopped and turned his head, and said impatiently, "How?"

"Don't worry, general, let's have a good talk." Zhuang Jing said with a wry smile, "This way please."
