Chapter 799: Treasure Thawing Committee

Temujin, Mongolian Genghis Khan also.

The Hu family is the richest man in Zhenjiang, Hu Shihai has traveled south and north since he took charge of the family business, and he has been well-informed, and he has heard of the fact that there is a treasure buried in the place after Temujin's death, but I don't know what Gonggong Wei said about what it has to do with him.

His Hu family has always been in the porcelain business, and the family has never robbed tombs, nor has he poured antiques, that is, the legend of the treasure of Temujin is true, to be honest, Master Hu is not interested in it.

His biggest thought now was to leave this ghost place quickly, because he felt that he had to stay any longer, and he was afraid that the 30,000 taels would not be able to stop the greedy appetite of this Wei eunuch.

If you want to say that 30,000 taels, he Hu won't feel distressed?

My heart is bleeding!

But he still came out hard, there is really no way, just today's posture, he is the "culprit", if he is not ruthless, this Wei Gelding can spare him!

Break the fortune and avoid disasters, you can earn it again when the money is gone, and there is nothing left when the people are gone.

Gonggong Wei seemed to see that Master Hu was not interested in the treasure, so he did not rush to communicate with Master Hu, but first asked the other party if he knew about the blue jade case in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu.

Blue jade, the founding general of the early country, the Duke of Liangguo, the general of the conquest, and the wife and brother of the king of Zhongshan. This person is brave and strategic, brave and good at fighting, and has repeatedly made military exploits for the Ming Dynasty, and then broke the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the sea of fishing.

In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, he was killed for the crime of treason, stripped of his skin and grass, and spread to various places. More than 15,000 people were implicated in the deaths, known as the "Blue Jade Case". This case is also one of the four major cases of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the other three cases are divided into Hu Weiyong's case, the empty seal case, and the Guo Heng case.

Such a big case, how could Master Hu not know, but he was also even more confused, Gonggong Wei first said that Temujin treasure, and then said this big blue jade case, the two can't hit each other with eight poles, but I don't know how many meanings there are, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd.

Gonggong Wei was not in a hurry, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Master Hu knows that before Lan Yu was sentenced, he begged the Jinyi guard who was guarding him to bring a message to Emperor Taizu for him, asking Emperor Taizu to see him again. ”

"Oh? Did the grandfather see him? ”

Master Hu really didn't know about this secret, and it was precisely because he didn't know that he gossiped in his heart. This is a secret in the palace, it is rare for Wei Gelding to say that he has to listen to it. It's not a talking point in the future.

"Although Lan Yu rebelled, after all, he had a merit in our Ming Dynasty, if it weren't for him, how could the pseudo-yuan completely decline. Therefore, the great grandfather agreed to Lan Yu's request and secretly went to the prison to meet him. Hey,"

Speaking of this, Father-in-law Wei slapped the table with his hand, "Master Hu knows that this meeting, that Lan Yu wants to beg Grandpa Tai to spare his life." ”

Master Hu was listening vigorously, how could he know why Lan Yu wanted to exchange with Hong Wuye, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"This is the matter of the Temujin treasure that our family just told you!"

"What do you mean?"

Master Hu seemed to understand something.

"Not bad!"

Grandpa Wei nodded, "Lan Yu just wants to exchange the secret of the location of Temujin's treasure for Grandpa Tai Zu to spare his life!" ”

"Then Grandpa spared Lan..."

Old Man Hu stopped abruptly, obviously, Emperor Taizu did not agree to this quid pro quo, otherwise, how could Lan Yu die.

"Father-in-law Wei, forgive the old man for being stupid, how did Lan Yu know the whereabouts of Temujin's treasure?" Master Hu asked the key point.

"In the first battle of Yuerhai, Lan Yu's army defeated the main force of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and captured a large number of Northern Yuan nobles, including the second son of the puppet master Timur, who told Lan Yu about the whereabouts of Temujin's treasure."

After speaking, Gonggong Wei smiled a little contemptuously, "The slaves in that place are the same as Lan Yu, they are all trying to survive, but they can't live." ”

"Oh, I see."

Master Hu understood it thoroughly, and was immediately stunned, and said: "Lan Yu knew the whereabouts of the treasure, but he didn't explain it to the imperial court, but instead asked Hong Wuye to save his life after the rebellion was discovered. ”

Well?

Gonggong Wei was stunned when he said this, you Master Hu is good, you will draw inferences.

Master Hu will draw inferences from one another, and he also has some questions, he hesitated, and asked cautiously: "But I don't know how my father-in-law knew about this?" ”

This question is also very important, after two hundred years, where did you Eunuch Wei know about this secret?

The father-in-law didn't say anything, only looked at Hu Shihai with a slight smile.

This?

Hu Shihai secretly scolded himself for being really confused, this Wei Eunuch came out of the palace, and such secret things are recorded and should be the secret files in the palace, he is favored by the Son of Heaven, and it is normal to see this secret file or hear about it.

Then he laughed, and without knowing what to say, he fell silent.

Speaking of which, Master Hu doesn't know what this secret and the whereabouts of the Temujin treasure have to do with him. However, he is old and sophisticated, and he ponders that Wei Gelding will not tell him about this for no reason, so there must be a following.

Indeed, there is the following.

In order to let Master Hu understand the treasure of Temujin more intuitively, Gonggong Wei told him a piece of history.

"Temujin went to Western Xia that year, and died in Western Xia the following year, and then Temujin died of illness in Lingzhou. Because the Western Xia had just been peaceful, and the sons of Temujin were all in the army, thousands of miles apart, in order to prevent accidents, ....."

According to his father-in-law, when Temujin died, his most loyal generals followed the edict of "no mourning" and secretly transported Temujin's body back to his hometown and buried it in a mausoleum that had been built. After the burial, tens of thousands of horses were dispatched to run back and forth, the cemetery was leveled, and then trees were planted as a forest, and an independent tree was used as a tombstone.

Subsequently, the leader of the general ordered 800 soldiers to kill all the more than 1,000 craftsmen who built the tomb, and these 800 soldiers were immediately wiped out, and this "Tian" secret was finally brought into the tomb.

In order for Temujin's heirs to find the burial ground, the burial commander killed a camel lamb on the grave, sprinkled blood on it, and sent cavalry to guard the grave. It was not until the following spring, when the grass had grown and the cemetery was no different from the rest of the world, that the soldiers guarding the tomb withdrew.

And if the sons of Temujin wanted to worship him, they let the she-camel who had been slain at that time make a guide the mother camel who had the natural ability to recognize her blood relatives, and the place where she stopped to mourn was the cemetery of the Great Khan.

"Master Hu should know that the tomb of Temujin is not only buried with countless treasures looted by the Mongolian army from the Jin Kingdom and surrounding countries, but also the savings of more than ten generations of the Western Xia Dynasty, and there are countless treasures.

Later, it took more than two years to bury all the wealth of the Western Xia Kingdom in the tomb of Temujin. However, it is a pity that our family has not seen such records from the history books of this dynasty and the pseudo-Yuan, and I don't know what is in the tomb of Temujin. ”

Gonggong Wei sighed a little melancholy, and said with relief: "It is also true that there is no record, and the Mongols are also afraid that after their defeat, these treasures will fall into the hands of others." ”

Hu Shihai listened to it on the side, and then nodded, in fact, he had only heard that Genghis Khan had a treasure to accompany the burial, but the specific situation, don't say that it is him, I am afraid that few people in the entire Ming Dynasty know.

The little eunuch in front of him is probably one of those people.

"Actually, there is no record of this dynasty, but our family has read a book written by a Persian, which mentions that after Temujin's death, his eldest son Okotai ascended the throne, and the first order given was to distribute food for Temujin's heroic spirit for three days according to Mongol custom, and to select forty beautiful women from the clan and family to be buried in Temujin's tomb."

Father-in-law Wei was very sorry, "Those beauties are pitiful, they are wearing expensive clothes decorated with gold and precious stones, I thought they were favored, but in the end, they were buried in the ground." Tsk, pitiful, pitiful, pitiful..."

A few "pitiful" people nodded pitifully to Master Hu, and then raised their heads and asked curiously: "Does my father-in-law know where the treasure is buried?" ”

I don't want to, but my father-in-law's face became solemn.

"Don't blame my father-in-law, it's old and stupid, it's old and abrupt! Hu Shihai hurriedly apologized, and the goat's beard was trembling.

Gonggong Wei waved his hand and said lightly: "There is no need to be like this, in fact, our family left you alone to want to talk to you about this." ”

Hu Shihai was stunned.

"In fact, the whereabouts of the Temujin treasure are north of the Krulun River in Mongolia, not only our family knows, but also the great grandfather, and His Majesty knows even more. That's why Your Majesty wants our family to come south to admiral Maritime. ”

Speaking a little dry, my father-in-law took another sip of tea, and saw that Hu Shihai's expression was a little strange, and he couldn't help laughing: "We know what you think in your heart, the treasure is in the northland of Mongolia, but Your Majesty sent our family south to the south of the Yangtze River, wouldn't it be the opposite of each other?" ”

Master Hu asked his father-in-law to break his mind, and he didn't admit it, and he didn't admit it, so he had to chuckle to cover it up.

"This is Your Majesty's Shengming!"

Gong Wei faced due north, arched his hand, and said: "The art of war has clouds, and the sound of the east strikes the west!" … On the surface, His Majesty sent our family south to do maritime affairs, but this maritime profit is to be used in the north. ”

"The old man is really confused, can my father-in-law say it more clearly?" Master Hu really didn't understand.

Gonggong Wei was not impatient, motioned to Master Hu to sit down, thought for a moment, and said: "Explain to you Master Hu, Your Majesty has always wanted to send troops to dig up the treasures of Temujin, but if you want to enter the Krulun River, you are bound to defeat the Northern Capture Lin Dan Khan, who rules there, so that it will be a big war, and the military expenses will be tens of millions." The imperial court has just gone through several major expeditions, the treasury is empty, and the inner treasury is also thin. ”

After speaking, the words changed, but he said again: "But this tens of millions of military expenses are a drop in the bucket compared to the treasure of Temujin." It is precisely because of this that His Majesty is firmly determined to let us go south to do this maritime affairs. ”

His eyes fell on Master Hu's face, and he seemed to be smiling: "I never thought that you, Master Hu, almost ruined His Majesty's big business." ”

These words scared Hu Shihai a lot, why didn't he upgrade it to a big thing that ruined the emperor. I cried out in my heart, and quickly laughed, explaining again and again, saying that it was a misunderstanding.

"The previous incident is over now, our family is the most refreshing, the Hu family will help His Majesty's great cause of 30,000 taels, and our family will play it truthfully."

Duke Wei told Master Hu to sit back, and after half of the other party's buttocks fell, he said: "This time, Your Majesty ordered us to go south to admiral Maritime, one is to raise military salaries for the Northern Expedition, and the other is to set up a committee to thaw the treasure of Temujin." ”

"The Unfreezing Committee?"

Hu Laoye Shanguan was warped, and his face was confused: "Dare to ask my father-in-law, what is thawing?" ”

Gonggong Wei waved his hand and made an analogy: "The treasure is buried there, but it can't be taken out, isn't it like being frozen." If you want to take out the treasure buried in the ground, you will have to thaw it. Otherwise, this frozen block will always be there, when will this treasure see the light of day? ”

"Yes, that's true."

Master Hu agreed with this very much, and was about to ask Grandpa Wei how to thaw it, but found that Grandpa Wei had already gotten up and came to him.

"The purpose of the Thaw Committee was to raise salaries for the Northern Expedition to Mongolia and the removal of the treasures of Temujin... To thaw the treasure of Temujin, for the use of the imperial court and for the people, it has always been the dream of His Majesty, and it is also the dream of our family, for this reason, the thawing committee is secretly established by His Majesty's royal quasi-quasi, and the functions of the committee are not allowed to interfere with the internal and external courts, and the affairs should be judged by His Majesty himself! …… Anyone who can become a member of the thaw committee, either the court dignitaries, or the gentry dignitaries, when the thaw is successful, with their respective contributions, His Majesty will give a special reward, the prince is not stingy, grandchildren and grandchildren and my Ming Dynasty and the country are the same as the country, and the country is resting together! ”

Xu thought that the emperor could grant him such a great and important mission, and Grandpa Wei's mood became extremely high, and his eagle-like eyes fell on the face of Master Hu, who was slightly shocked, slightly stunned, and slightly dazed, and slowly stretched out his right hand, and gently placed his palm on the other party's forehead.

"Hu Shihai of Zhenjiang Mansion, we ask you, are you willing to join the thawing committee and become a member who shoulders the noblest and most glorious mission in the world!"

"Me?!"

Master Hu's heart was beating and he wanted to stand up, but Eunuch Wei pressed him.

"Would you like to?"

Father-in-law Wei's expression was so solemn, like a messenger from heaven.

"Decayed? …”

Master Hu swallowed his throat, he wanted to ask one thing clearly.

"According to my father-in-law, the thawing committee is supported by the emperor?"

"Our family said that the thawing committee was established with the imperial approval of His Majesty!" Wei Gonggong's voice was categorical and sonorous.

"If you can really raise the money to unfreeze by joining this committee, in the future, the members of the committee will be able to get knights from the imperial court?"

Mr. Hu must confirm this reward plan. For merchants, the title of the imperial court was the most attractive thing in the world.

"Yes!"

Father-in-law Wei's echo was crisp and neat.

"That..."Master Hu hesitated, "Why did my father-in-law want to join the old man?" ”

"Because, you are a person with backbone, in this world, there are few people who dare to refuse our family in person, and our family admires you Master Hu very much." Grandpa Wei laughed.

This answer made Master Hu a little misplaced.

After being at a loss for a long time, he turned his heart on his side and boldly asked, "But I don't know how much it costs to join this thaw committee?" In addition to the emperor's reward after the deed, is there any... Are there any other... Advantage? ”

When Master Hu said this, his tone was quite vain, and after speaking, he regretted a little that he shouldn't have asked this kind of thing, if Eunuch Wei was unhappy, the consequences would be difficult to say.

No, Mrs. Wei listened to his question, but without saying a word, he turned his head and drank, and then an entourage took a long scroll.

"The thawing committee has a special thawing project, this project is named by His Majesty himself, the specific method of joining, Master Hu, please take a closer look......

At the top of the long scroll, there is a line of large characters - "Sunshine thaw capital operation engineering drawing".
