Half an hour later, the young eunuchs carried a large box into the Yangxin Hall, which contained project records from past dynasties.
The empress picked it up and looked through it with confidence, and Zhao An also helped search for it.
From the first generation of the dynasty to the Great Xia Dynasty, there is no record of large-scale construction projects under the capital. At most, they were renovating and repairing the palace.
The empress asked: "Is it possible that a certain dynasty started the construction secretly without recording it for history?"
"impossible."
"Why?"
"You said that the purpose of repairing the corridor at the foot of the imperial city was to preserve the royal bloodline and to escape and make a comeback when being besieged by the army. But in fact, no dynasty was saved because of this. Either the enemy came to the city and surrendered directly, or He set fire to himself and completely destroyed the country."
Zhao An's words made the empress stunned. After a long time, she said: "You mean that all dynasties did not know that there was such a project at their feet. It was built by Daxia. The late emperor only reigned for not many years. Such a big project It is impossible for the project to be completed, and it is also impossible not to have records. After all, I have been growing up in the harem since I was a child, and I have no idea that such a project is under my feet."
The empress was confused at the moment, but Zhao An understood why.
Because of reincarnation.
In a certain reincarnation, the sister of the original owner built this project, but in the end everyone died, so naturally no one knew about the existence of the project!
Now being reminded by the Empress's words, I am even more certain about the existence of reincarnation.
The time of each reincarnation should not be long, probably about twenty years from the time when the champion annihilates his family to the time when the original owner's sister kills a mountain of corpses and blood.
Twenty years is enough to build a project, and then everyone dies, just like those ancient sketches, a product of reincarnation.
They appear in a certain reincarnation and then remain, but the traces of time cannot be erased.
The eight reincarnations last for about 160 years, and the scroll has existed for more than a hundred years, which means that it was created in the first few reincarnations.
The painting on the coffin in the inn says Jiu, indicating that the original owner discovered these secrets very early, but he was unable to break the situation and still died miserably.
Zhao An was horrified when he thought about this. Let alone why the original owner sketched, he could not break the situation just because he knew the inside story. Just like his current situation, knowing that he was trapped in a huge vicious circle, but could only wait for death?
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" the empress suddenly spoke. Zhao An woke up from his dream, shook his head, and threw the scroll back into the big box, "Your Majesty, there is no need to read it anymore, it is meaningless. The top priority is to persuade the aristocratic family to cooperate with Wu Xun to fight against The Queen Mother has raised an issue, and I will handle the matter immediately."
The empress said: "Nanliang Kingdom has entered the capital. I am worried that they have plans for Daxia. I hope you can accompany me these two days to prevent me from making any mistakes."
"Don't worry, Puyuan is here to protect you, and the Queen Mother will not touch you for the time being. Just wait and see what happens. If something happens, I will naturally come forward to solve it."
After Zhao An said that, he jumped up and started to get angry.
The empress hesitated to speak, and finally sighed and asked Huang Zhong to send the scroll back.
Tianshui courtyard.
Zhao An met Xu Ruqing. She was well-raised. At this moment, she actually held a sword and asked Jiuyin to teach her sword dance. Her lame little appearance was really cute.
Zhao An looked outside the doorway for a long time. She was very serious and did not notice anyone peeping. She also worked very hard with every move. After a while, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Jiuyin smiled bitterly and said: "Miss, practicing martial arts cannot be completed overnight, and generally requires physical training first, such as Zha Ma Bu. If you learn sword dance like this, it will be a showpiece at best."
These words were a bit shocking, and Xu Ruqing suddenly said in despair: "I only hate that I am useless and cannot protect myself when in danger. If I had practiced martial arts since I was a child, maybe I could have defeated that girl when I met her that day, or even captured her. "
Jiuyin couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this. Even she was not an enemy of Yihe. What's the point of trying hard, Miss?
And she was as powerful as the Lord of Yunding Palace, but he had to physically maim his body to save her life.
"Madam, have you discovered that studying literature can't save the people of Daxia?"
Zhao An entered the other courtyard with a smile.
Xu Ruqing looked back happily, her pretty face turned red, "Is Mr. Zhao mocking me?"
"Hey, call me husband."
Zhao An was unusually thick-skinned. When Jiuyin saw this, he immediately turned away and pretended not to see it.
Zhao An took out a brocade handkerchief and helped Xu Ruqing wipe her face. She stood in front of her pretty, a little silly and cute.
Next, Xu Ruqing briefly talked about Nanliang's entry into Beijing. The general was very arrogant. It was not difficult to see from his attitude that Nanliang had an ulterior motive this time.
Zhao An said: "Don't worry, I want to see Zhou Ying, and I want my wife to help me invite her over."
"immediately."
Xu Ruqing only hoped to be of some help. Since Zhao An had something to entrust, she immediately took Jiu Yin out to invite him.
Zhao An waited patiently in the other courtyard alone. When he was young, Cui Shixiang came over. He came just in time, and he still needed his help in this matter.
The two drank several glasses of wine.
Cui Shixiang said mysteriously: "Master Zhao, I heard that there are two great beauties in the delegation from Nanliang Kingdom."
"Beauty? Or two?"
"Yes, she is the jewel of their royal family. She will be married to our Majesty as his concubine."
"I do not know how."
Zhao An has learned a lot about the court situation in Nanliang in the past few days and knows that the Li family and the Wang family are fighting fiercely.
Cui Shixiang said: "These two people belong to the Li family and the Wang family respectively. Let them marry to gain Daxia's support. If Daxia is their backer, they can naturally win the throne."
Zhao An was immediately interested, and the two delicate beauties were brought to his lips. Unfortunately, His Majesty lacked those things, so this matter was going to cause trouble.
And if Your Majesty cannot balance the weight of the two families, once someone kills another pearl, it will be a big blow to the reputation of the suzerain country.
"Who says they are not? It's a pity. I only heard that they are beautiful and the only beauties in the world, but I can't see what they look like. It's really uncomfortable."
Cui Shixiang scratched his head when he mentioned beautiful women.
Zhao An couldn't help but laugh, and was a little curious.
While he was talking, a disciple came over and said secretly: "I just received news that the two noble gentlemen and their servants walked out of the side door of Honglu Temple to visit the capital."
Two noble gentlemen?
Zhao An and Cui Shixiang couldn't help but their eyes lit up. If they guessed correctly, the so-called noble master was probably the two pearls pretending to be one.
"Master Zhao, let's go take a look."
Cui Shixiang smiled a little obscenely. Zhao An glanced at the sundial. Xu Ruqing couldn't take Zhou Ying back for a while. Anyway, he had nothing to do, so he might as well follow him and see how beautiful it was.
In this way, Zhao An and Cui Shixiang left Tianshuiyuan together and walked towards the most prosperous neighborhood in the capital.
Sure enough, all the way to the downtown area, I saw two handsome young men visiting the market accompanied by two pretty boys.
