The "Yongle Dadian" stored in Dengwen Building is a copy, not the original.
Huang Ping had already figured this out after many previous investigations.
Historically, there are different opinions on where the original went. But now the evidence is conclusive, it should have been brought into the mausoleum by Emperor Jiajing.
But even if it is a copy, because the content is exactly the same as the original, it is of immeasurable value.
After all, in the previous life, the manuscripts handed down were incomplete.
It is really a great pity that this magnificent masterpiece in human history was damaged and lost in the long river of history.
Zuo Menggeng attaches more importance to "Yongle Dadian" than to the Forbidden City. Therefore, a strict order was given to the Gyeonggi Division of the Ministry of Intelligence to preserve the complete set of ceremonies no matter what.
Huang Ping and Han Chuan met at the same place. With a large number of people, they were armed to the teeth and rushed all the way to Dengwen Tower.
When we got here, the scene became even more chaotic.
Countless people came in and out, and everyone's arms were bulging, and they obviously wanted to take advantage of the chaos to steal the treasures and escape.
"Stop people and search them one by one. If they dare to resist, they will be shot to death."
Han Chuan's face was filled with frost and he ordered on the spot.
The people from the Intelligence Department immediately rushed forward and forced back all those who wanted to escape.
Some people were dissatisfied and struggled to run away. Under the attack of swords and crossbows, dead bodies were left on the ground.
The rest finally got scared and knelt down obediently, allowing themselves to be searched.
Huang Ping and Han Chuan ignored them and rushed into the building with their men.
Go up to the second floor, and "Yongle Dadian" will appear in front of you.
But in the vast and vast room, countless classics were piled up, and the number could not be counted at the moment.
Compiling the "Yongle Dadian" was a complex and vast project, and the finished product was equally spectacular.
Someone ran in from outside.
"Director, after searching, no one left with the ceremony."
Huang Ping nodded, quite pleased with this.
Obviously these people with evil intentions are focusing on things that are valuable and easy to carry.
As for the Grand Ceremony, it is an ordinary text and so heavy that no one can read it.
"According to the established tasks, move out immediately."
People from the Intelligence Department quickly stepped forward, and nearly a thousand people started working together, divided into several groups. Number each tome while putting it into a bag.
The complete set of "Yongle Dadian" is just stacked together, just like a hill, it is extremely eye-catching. Therefore, they can only be dispersed to different places for safekeeping.
Once you have the number, you don't have to worry about the order being messed up or losing something.
Seeing that the work of transporting the ceremony was in good order and could be completed in two or three hours at the latest, Huang Ping felt relieved.
"Brother Han, let's go into the palace. There are some things that we need to finish."
Han Chuan nodded, activated his strength, and followed Huang Ping back to the palace.
As soon as they returned to the street, everyone received news that a group of Huihui people opened the Guangning Gate and that the outer city of the capital had fallen.
Everyone felt that time was running out and couldn't help but speed up their pace.
When he reached the entrance of the Meridian Gate, loud and chaotic bells suddenly came from the palace.
Hearing this voice, Huang Ping couldn't help but sneer.
"At this time, the emperor still wants to convene ministers to discuss matters? What a wishful thinking."
Han Chuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, looking down on Chongzhen even more.
At Huangjimen, I ran into a group of people.
The three eunuchs were leading the way, sending each other's three children rushing out.
Huang Ping recognized it at a glance.
"Eunuch Wang, what are you doing?"
The leading eunuch was Wang Zhixin. Seeing that it was Huang Ping, anger surged in his heart.
Huang Ping was usually Wang Chengen's confidant, and even he didn't dare to offend him. But at this time, he still had nothing to fear.
"Little bastard, are you in charge of grandpa's affairs? Get out of the way."
Huang Ping looked around and recognized the three children as the prince, King Ding and King Yong.
"Where are you going with the three princes?"
Wang Zhi felt disgusted and rushed over to punch him.
"Go away."
Halfway through the fist swing, a knife was handed over to him and placed on his neck.
Amidst the sound of footsteps, people from the Intelligence Department rushed in.
Seeing Huang Ping leading such a large group of people, and everyone holding weapons, Wang Zhixin's legs weakened on the spot and he fell to the ground.
Prince Zhu Cixiang was frightened and hurriedly protected his two younger brothers, his heart leaping into his throat.
He thought Huang Ping had surrendered to the Shun army and was going to kill them.
Huang Ping looked at Wang Zhixin coldly.
"Can we talk now? What are we going to do?"
Faced with life and death, Wang Zhixin chose to follow his heart.
"According to the emperor's order, we escort the three princes to the Chengguo Duke's Mansion.
Huang Ping understood immediately.
"With so many people surrendering to Li Zicheng, wouldn't Duke Cheng be able to do it? Sending the three princes there would be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?"
The king's heart was speechless.
He is usually arrogant and domineering as a chamberlain, but when something really happens he has no idea.
Looking at the three frightened princes, Huang Ping let out a long sigh.
"Come along, where is the emperor?"
Immediately someone saw the opportunity and ran to the front to lead the way.
A group of people rushed to the harem again.
As soon as I stepped into Qianqing Palace, I heard a woman's scream suddenly coming from the palace.
Huang Ping's face was shocked and he quickly quickened his pace.
When he just stepped into the palace gate, he happened to see Chongzhen holding the sword high in his hand and his face was ferocious.
"Why were you born in my house?"
The sword fell from the air, and Princess Changping burst into tears holding the young Princess Zhaoren on the ground, but she did not dare to hide.
At that time, at that time, an arrow was like thunder and lightning, and it hit Chongzhen's sword without any bias.
He is usually pampered, so where does he have the strength?
Immediately he was hit and his body tilted, and the sword in his hand was thrown out.
Chongzhen finally managed to steady himself, his eyes turned red when he looked at Huang Ping, Han Chuan, and his three sons who rushed in.
"Dog slave, don't you want to live anymore?"
Wang Chengen also ran up from the side, his eyes full of worry for Huang Ping.
"Little monkey cub, you must not disobey the emperor."
Neither Chongzhen nor Wang Chengen noticed that Huang Ping's momentum had changed.
"Lu Ping, Director of the Gyeonggi Department of the Xia State Intelligence Department, has met His Majesty the Ming Emperor."
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone in the hall screamed.
Chongzhen felt chills all over his body. Looking at Huang Ping, he felt extremely strange.
"You...are you a Xia thief?"
Wang Chengen felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and immediately fell down and screamed in pain.
"Little monkey, you... you... you deceived our family so much!"
Huang Ping began to respect this great eunuch.
"Ancestor, I'm really sorry for keeping this secret from you for so long."
Wang Chengen wanted to say something, but when he thought about the current situation, he was left with endless defeat.
"Little monkey, run away for your life."
These words made Huang Ping feel warmer in his heart, and he decided to do something.
"Ancestor, let's go with my child. From now on, my child will take care of you until the end of his life."
When Wang Chengen heard this, he finally laughed, his eyes filled with relief.
"Can you save the emperor?"
