Chapter 829: The Secret Treasure of the Buddha Hall

Dou Kui heard the footsteps behind him, turned his head to see Qi Ning, and immediately put on a smile to greet him and said, "Master Hou, you are still confiscating your family property." There are many treasures in the Huainan Palace, which are scattered everywhere, and they will not be able to find all of them for a while. Tomorrow is the emperor's wedding, so this errand must be completed today. ”

Qi Ning nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work." Walking over slowly, Dou Kui beckoned to the side from behind, and two people came over, and when they saw Qi Ning walking to the edge of a large box, Dou Kui immediately ordered someone to open the box.

When the box was opened, it was neatly filled with all kinds of calligraphy and paintings.

Qi Ning was curious, reached out and took one out, slowly opened it, but saw a landscape painting, Dou Kui said on the side: "Master Hou has a good eye, this is Zheng Chunqiu's Pingshan shadow map back then, which can be described as priceless." At this time, a household official on the side came over, glanced at the painting, raised the pen in his hand, and ticked off one item on the list.

Qi Ning handed the painting to Dou Kui, and Dou Kui handed it to a person next to him, who carefully rolled up the painting and put it aside.

Qi Ning took out a few paintings in a row, he didn't study calligraphy and paintings, but he could also see that these paintings were indeed valuable, every time he took out a painting, the official holding the list on the side ticked off an item, Qi Ning looked at it in his eyes, frowned and said: "Lord Dou, this is ......?" ”

Dou Kui waved his hand, and the people on both sides stepped back, and Dou Kui leaned close to Qi Ning's ear and said: "Hou Ye, the emperor ordered you to preside over the raid of the house, naturally he also wanted to give Hou Ye a chance." There are many rare treasures in this palace, if the Hou Ye fancies, as long as he touches it, or makes a look, the lower officials will arrange it when they turn around, and it will be safeguarded. ”

Qi Ning immediately understood what he meant, and frowned: "This ..... Isn't that right? ”

Dou Kui looked left and right, raised his hand and said, "Master Hou will come into the house and have a cup of tea." ”

Qi Ning knew what he meant, and entered the middle hall with his hands behind his back, Dou Kui followed him into the house, closed the door with his backhand, and saw that Qi Ning had already sat down, so he stepped forward, bowed down and stood beside Qi Ning and said: "Master Hou is the first time to raid the house, and the rules inside may not be a little clear." In fact, whoever can receive the holy decree to copy the house is a great ...... the emperor's grace! After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "With all due respect, that is also an opportunity sent by the emperor to make a fortune." ”

Qi Ning let out an "oh", and Dou Kui continued: "As long as it is not too dark, it can almost be explained to the imperial court, and no one will pursue it." The king of Huainan is grateful to the court, and he can get a large number of rewards from the court every year, and there are also the filial piety of the people below, and even more on the fiefdom of the king of Huainan, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a day to make money, and the lower officials roughly estimated that all the wealth of the palace was copied out, and it should be no less than three or four million taels. ”

Qi Ning was surprised: "So many? ”

Dou Kui nodded slightly and said: "Xiaguan has also followed the king of Huainan for many years, he has collected money in a good way, and he is indeed very means." Hou Ye didn't know, this Huainan King liked antique calligraphy and painting when he was young, at that time he had no real power in the court, nothing to do, so his mind was on antique calligraphy and painting, but where I heard that there is a precious antique or calligraphy and painting, it is no matter how to get it, it is not hidden, for this reason there are really many people who died unjustly. ”

Qi Ning frowned, Dou Kui sighed lightly, and then continued: "Emperor Taizong and the first emperor remembered that he was the bloodline of Emperor Taizu, as long as he was not contaminated with the affairs of the court, other things would be turned a blind eye. He lowered his voice and said, "Xia Guan knows a secret of this palace, and I will ask the Hou Ye to follow me to take a look later." ”

"What's there?"

Dou Kui smiled slightly, didn't explain, raised his hand and said, "Master Hou, please!" Walking to the back door, Qi Ning hesitated, followed behind, Dou Kui led the way in front, walked for a while, nine turns and eighteen turns, only then did he arrive at a courtyard outside, there were no soldiers here for the time being, Dou Kui pushed open the courtyard door, and Qi Ning followed behind.

This courtyard looks very simple, there is a smell of sandalwood wafting in the air, Qi Ning faintly understands something, Dou Kui has led Qi Ning to the door of a house, but the door is locked by an iron lock, Dou Kui frowned, Qi Ning did not hesitate, took the cold blade, stepped forward and immediately cut it open.

Dou Kui was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up and said, "Good baby, good baby." Only then did he push open the door, the door opened for a moment, and a stronger sandalwood fragrance wafted out from the inside, Dou Kui had already said: "Lord Hou, this is the Buddhist hall of the palace, according to the lower officials, the king of Huainan often stays in the Buddhist hall on weekdays, and the palace is not allowed to approach this Buddhist hall." ”

"Oh?" Qi Ning looked around, compared to the magnificence of other places in Huainan Palace, this Buddha Hall is simple and simple, except for the Buddha shrine on the case, there is a small golden Buddha in it, and there are not too many sundries in the four places: "Lord Dou brought me to this Buddha Hall, I don't know why?" ”

"Master Hou, this is the treasure house of King Huainan." Dou Kui lowered his voice and said: "Xia Guan once accompanied him to drink, and there was no one else, it was nothing more than saying that Sima Lan was becoming more and more powerful, and sooner or later he would become a scourge of the imperial court. After a pause, he said in a low voice: "After getting drunk, King Huainan said that he had a treasure hidden in the Buddha hall, but he didn't say much. Xiaguan thought to himself that since the king of Huainan said that, it was naturally not groundless, and the lower official vaguely knew that the king of Huainan had several priceless treasures in his hands, which were all things that could be met but not sought, but this time he had never seen it, and such treasures would not be placed at will, so he ......! ”

Qi Ning understood and said, "So you think those treasures are hidden in the Buddha Hall?" ”

Dou Kui nodded and said, "That's exactly what Xia Guan thinks. ”

Qi Ning thought that this Dou Kui was really the temperament of the grass on the wall, when he got the recommendation of the Qi family in brocade clothes, he had been following the Qi family, and later turned his face with the Qi family, and immediately turned his head to the Huainan King's door, and now the Huainan King has fallen, but he quickly humbled himself is good.

But Qi Ning also knew that such a villain happened to be able to be used now, and such a person could only be used, but he could never be trusted.

"Lord Dou, even if the treasure is here, what can we do?" Qi Ning sighed lightly: "Could it be that we still have to fill our own pockets?" If this matter is really pursued..... ”

"Master Hou rest assured, everything is on the lower officials." Dou Kui has been in the officialdom for many years, and naturally understands that the best way to show loyalty is to do things that satisfy the above, he is now in a predicament, and the only way out is to hug the thigh of Jinyihou, so he is extremely humble: "Not to mention that this is the traditional rule, even if something really happens, the lower officials will bear it." ”

Qi Ning shook his head and said, "Lord Dou has misunderstood, in fact, what I'm most worried about is not that someone will pursue it." Now that the treasury is empty, it is the time to use the money, if the Huainan palace really does not have a huge amount of money and includes it in the treasury, then many difficult things for the imperial court can be solved. ”

"Master Hou is loyal to the country, and the five bodies admired by the lower officials are on the ground." Dou Kui said solemnly: "It's just that the lower officials have some words, I don't know whether to say them or not." ”

"It's okay if Lord Dou has something to say." Qi Ning said with a smile: "There are no outsiders here, out of your mouth, into my ears, no third person will know." ”

Dou Kui hesitated for a moment before sighing: "Master Hou, Sima Lan got rid of the King of Huainan, and the next step is to gradually control the government, whether it is military power or finance, Sima Lan cannot let it go." Today, Xia Guan can still stay in the household department, it is nothing more than because you are in charge of justice, but Sima Lan, the old thief, will never give up, and if he doesn't get the household department, how can he sleep well. ”

Qi Ning knows that Sima Lan is now assisting in the government, and his power in the court is naturally unmatched, but the biggest and most fatal shortcomings are also in these two places.

If you talk about military power, you still control the Black Knife Battalion in your hands, but the household department has never been under the control of the Sima clan.

If you want to really cover the sky with one hand, if you can't control the country's finances, it can only be a fool's dream.

After the death of the first emperor, the household was entangled with the king of Huainan, and Sima Lan has always been difficult to start, but now that the king of Huainan has been removed, it is only a matter of time before Sima Lan wants to get involved in the household.

"Maybe in a few days, the next official will be dismissed." Dou Kui sighed: "If you are lucky, you can still save your life and go back to your hometown to farm the fields, if you are unlucky, this head will not be saved." At that time, Sima Lan will inevitably install cronies in the household department, and the deposit silver of the household department is also under Sima Lan's control. ”

Qi Ning frowned slightly, Dou Kui's words reminded him.

Although Qi Ning is not afraid of the Sima family, he is not sure whether he can prevent the Sima family from controlling the imperial court, after all, Sima Lan is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and even the King of Huainan has been played with by him, whether he can really deal with that old fox, even he himself is not clear.

If Sima Lan really won the household department, what Dou Kui said was really true.

Dou Kui observed the words, saw it in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Hou Ye, the emperor is wise and wise, and the lower officials say something that should not be said. ”

Qi Ning bowed slightly, but still said quietly: "Since there are rules for copying the house, if I break the rules, it will inevitably be bad, Lord Dou, what to do, everything will be done according to your wishes." ”

Dou Kui smiled and said: "Master Hou, rest assured, the lower officials will definitely handle this matter properly." He looked around, frowned, and said: "Xiaguan guesses that there must be a secret room in this Buddhist hall, and if you find the mechanism, you should be able to find the treasure secret room. "Lightly searched for it in the Buddha hall.

Qi Ning put his hands behind his back, his eyes swept in the Buddha Hall, and he couldn't see anything too strange, Dou Kui turned around the Buddha Hall twice, the room did not find any signs, and he was a little anxious, but Qi Ning suddenly said: "Lord Dou, look at what is special about this Golden Buddha." ”

Dou Kui hurriedly came over, and his eyes fell on the golden Buddha.
