There were guards in the archives to verify his identity, but after seeing the gold medal in his hand, they all stood in awe and did not dare to embarrass him. You must know that the gold medal embroidered messenger is second only to the great commander in the embroidery building.
Some people even thought of offering their kindness to help him find information, but Zu An dismissed them all with excuses.
A man came to the archives room. Because he was worried about being discovered by others later, he deliberately checked all the files in various categories, and mixed in the things he wanted to check along the way.
He stayed inside for two hours and finally found something.
Naturally, what he wanted to check was some information about the previous dynasty, and he even wanted to know some details about the change of dynasties.
After some research, he found that the name of the previous dynasty was Meng, and that the founding emperor was also a heroic figure with outstanding sons.
Unfortunately, for the emperor, it may not be a good thing for the prince to be too good, because once they are good, they will not be willing to be inferior to others, and everyone wants to compete for the position of prince.
In the end, the prince won, but the incident of seizing the legitimate son left a psychological shadow on him. He was always on guard against these brothers, and conducted various kinds of surveillance and reduction of power, which caused several brothers to die in depression.
It's a pity that there was something wrong with his lineage, whether it was genetics or something else. All of his heirs were short-lived, and they didn't last long as emperor. As a result, power gradually concentrated in the hands of one powerful official, the Taizu of this dynasty.
What happened in the end can be predicted. The last emperor of the Meng Dynasty knew that he was unstoppable, so he wisely abdicated the throne to Taizu.
"Succede..." Zu An secretly sneered. This kind of drama has happened too many times in history, and almost no one is willing to do so.
He wanted to check some specific information about the abdication that year, but unfortunately there was no record at all. Even the abdication was only mentioned briefly in a few files.
However, he still found a relevant fact, that is, after the last emperor of the Meng Dynasty abdicated, he was named the King of Linzhang, with a population of 10,000 households. The palace was arranged in Gaoyang City in Linzhang County, and he was given the use of the emperor's banner to prepare for the fifth o'clock. The auxiliary chariot, the conduct of the Meng Kingdom's Zhengshuo, and the ritual and music system of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth in the suburbs all imitate the early system of the Meng Kingdom. Those who do not submit letters to ministers and do not worship after receiving edicts are treated as such.
These were obviously the means used by Zhou Taizu to win people's hearts after he usurped the throne, but it must be said that they were very effective. Although there were criticisms from both the government and the public at that time about their usurping the throne, they were still praised for their kindness to the previous royal family.
Therefore, this record has not been forgotten. After all, it is used to praise virtues.
Zu An also noticed that the last emperor of the Meng Kingdom, who later became the Prince of Linzhang, did not have a prosperous heir. It seemed that the child died at a very young age.
He wanted to find more information, but unfortunately he searched the entire archives and couldn't find any useful information.
As for the most top-secret room, Zu An couldn't enter it. At present, he didn't want to alarm Zhu Xie's heart. After all, the other party was the emperor's loyal dog. Going there to check it out for no reason would definitely arouse the emperor's suspicion, which would be troublesome. .
Putting all the files back, his mind was spinning rapidly. At the beginning of his time travel, he discovered that his body had a hidden disease. From Old Man Mi, he learned that it was sealed by an extremely sinister method when he was very young.
At that time, Old Man Mi was still a little strange. This kind of vicious method was usually spread in the palace. After all, the competition among the concubines in the harem was a matter of course.
Use every possible means.
It is a universally acknowledged truth in the harem that the mother is more valuable than the son. Everyone wants to give birth to a prince, but at the same time they do not want to see other concubines giving birth to princes to compete.
As a result, everyone used their own methods, such as poisoning, deliberately scaring the other party to miscarry, and other methods. Many tragedies of swallows pecking the emperor's grandson occurred in the palaces of the past dynasties.
Naturally, the royal family prohibits such behavior, and if discovered, the punishment will be very severe.
But these are human nature, and there are policies and countermeasures. Later, some new methods were gradually explored in the harem, that is, methods that did not cause any damage in the short term, but the harm would be highlighted later.
Just like the kind of restriction imposed on the original owner of this body is one of them.
Zu An finally came to his senses. He was confused at first. Since others could impose a ban, why not just abolish him? Wouldn't that be simpler and more convenient?
Now that I think about it, it's not that I don't want to, but that I can't. Once it is directly abolished, the symptoms will be too obvious, and it cannot be hidden from others, so some insidious sealing methods can only be used.
Another question that he couldn't figure out was why Jijiu helped him in the first place. He was deeply involved in the scandal with the Crown Princess, and the result even alarmed the indifferent Jijiu to come out to judge whether his words were lies.
At that time, he was still very worried. After all, the reputation of wine sacrifice was too great, and he was worried that his skills might not be able to hide from the other party.
Who knew that before he could use his skills, the other party would directly judge that what he said was true.
Others were naturally convinced, but Zu An knew very well that the other party had deliberately helped him.
But he didn't understand why the other party would help him. After all, the two people were incomparable.
At first, I thought that the other party was deliberately trying to cause trouble for the emperor, but this guess was not that convincing. Until today, I heard Xie Daoyun mention it in the academy that the wine offering had some connection with the previous royal family.
Not many people in the entire capital know this. I don’t know why. Everyone seems to have forgotten this period of history. Xie Daoyun only accidentally learned about it because her teacher was the disciple of Jijiu, but she didn’t know the relationship between Jijiu and Jijiu. What is the specific relationship between the previous royal family?
Zu An's thoughts were racing, and suddenly a thought came to his mind: I am not the prince of the previous dynasty, am I?
Having watched so many TV dramas in his previous life, similar developments were commonplace. He even made up many details in his mind: For example, after the previous emperor abdicated, Taizu of the Zhou Dynasty appeared to be generous, but in fact he was not at ease, so he arranged for someone to secretly give the former emperor's The descendants did something to make him extinct.
Or maybe it happened earlier. The royal family of the Meng Dynasty knew that being sidelined by powerful ministers would put the country in danger, so they made two-pronged preparations and let their confidants with royal blood lie dormant among the people, waiting for the world to change, and then rise up under the banner of Meng's orthodoxy. To regain the country, it was a pity that the powerful officials were so powerful that they still saw through it in advance and sent experts to chase them. Although they escaped with their own people, they were also plotted...
Jijiu had a close relationship with the former royal family, so he naturally knew all this. It was even possible for him to escape with his help.
Now that he is back in the capital, he recognizes me, so he deliberately helped me before.
The reason why they didn't recognize each other was probably because the time was not ripe, or he had a bigger plan to plan.
Thinking of this, Zu An felt like the hairs all over his body stood up. It turned out that he had unknowingly become a chess piece in someone else's hands.
"I just want to be a rich man or a pretty boy, and I don't want to be the enemy of my country and my family." Zu An wailed in his heart, but he, who was always optimistic, felt extremely heavy at this time.
Once his identity is exposed, the emperor will not let him go. After all, the two are destined to be enemies.
The key is that all the remaining royal families and even the civil servant group cannot let him go. After all, the Meng Dynasty has been destroyed for so many years, and Zhao Hao has gained great prestige through his victory over the demon clan. Who will miss him now? Towards ah.
After coming out of the embroidery building, even though Zu An kept hinting that he should not care about his identity, he didn't care about the prince or grandson at all.
But later on, his mood became heavier and heavier, because even if he wanted to abandon the past, others would not let him abandon it, such as offering wine sacrifices, and there were even a group of forces loyal to the Meng Dynasty that turned from bright to dark...
Then he couldn't help but think about some of the things that happened when the dynasty changed. When he thought of orphans and widowed mothers being bullied and usurped by powerful ministers, he unconsciously felt a surge of anger in his heart.
Thinking of that guy Zhao Hao, it can be said that old and new hatreds surged into my heart.
Suddenly he stopped and found that he had passed an ancient well without knowing it, and this ancient well was the secret passage connecting the East Palace.
After confirming that there was no one around, he jumped in, opened the mechanism according to the method he had seen before, entered the secret passage, changed out of the clothes of the embroidered messenger, and then walked straight into the depths.
I don’t know how long I walked, but suddenly a beautiful figure not far away came into view.
Perhaps because she was in the palace at night, Bi Linglong wore a loose dress that she could wear at home, but the details of the dress were still gorgeous and delicate. Under the illumination of the lighting stones on the wall of the secret passage, her figure looked even more graceful.
She was pacing around the exit, looking like she was struggling with something.
When she suddenly heard a movement, she looked up and saw that it was Zu An. Her eyes showed a hint of joy at first, and then she suddenly realized something, her face turned red, and she said hurriedly: "Don't misunderstand me, I just came to check the secret passage. Whether it is intact or not is not waiting for you..."
She received a heavy hug in response. She wanted to say something more, but her lips were roughly blocked, and the sound of tearing silk could be heard in her ears.
The school teacher called at midnight last night to announce the suspension of classes. It was too difficult to take care of the children at home without going to school. For a long time, his grandmother missed the days of normal school.
During the day, everyone in several streets was required to take a nucleic acid test. The key was that the queue was too difficult. Maybe there was little experience before. Various problems caused the start of the test to be several hours later than the notified time, and then the queue continued for several hours. .
However, I heard from my friends that this is normal. In the beginning, I was in a hurry because I had no experience, but later I became more proficient and it would be faster.
In the evening, a nearby neighborhood was classified as a medium-risk area. The key is that a few days ago, I went to eat at a restaurant across the street from that neighborhood. Damn!
