Zhu Cihuan's complexion changed a few times, and he sighed softly: "My real name is Hu Zeli, I was originally from Yuyao, Zhejiang Province more than 20 years ago, my father was out playing, and one day he brought back a monk, saying that he was his confidant and friend. I saw that the monk was only about twenty years old, and I knew that my father liked to make friends, so I thought that this person was just living at home for a few days. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed: "Who knew that this person was persuaded by his father to pay back the vulgarity, and his father even married his little sister to him." Before my father died, he told me that the monk who was picked up outside was Zhu Cihuan, the crown prince of the former Ming Emperor, and said that our Hu family had accumulated several lifetimes of great virtue before encountering this kind of grace, and he couldn't see the revival of the Ming Dynasty, so let me follow him for a long time, and the glory of the Hu family was on me. ”

Yang Youcai snorted coldly: "So you killed Zhu Cihuan and pretended to be him to deceive?" ”

Hu Zeli's face changed a few times: "The prince is noble, how dare I, an ordinary man, do such disloyal and unrighteous things, the prince has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he knows that his body and mind are sinister, so he heard that you want to regain his sight, so he sent me to find out the news, if you don't mean to harm people, it will not be too late for him to come again." ”

Cheng Xiaolian snorted coldly: "Then why don't you sleep at night and come here to do these shady things?" ”

Hu Zeli's face changed, and he sighed: "You can just open the things here." ”

Cheng Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, and motioned to Yang Youcai to open the things below, and felt that something was inappropriate, so he said, "Prevent anything harmful." ”

Yang Youcai laughed and stretched out his hand: "A few of you open things, you are all smart, if you lose Lao Tzu's face, Lao Tzu will not spare you." ”

Saying that, these people got started together, and finished what Hu Zeli hadn't done just now, there was an iron plate three feet long below, these brocade guards wanted to remove the iron plate, Hu Zeli laughed: "I don't know how many zhang this iron plate is buried down, why if you can move it, it's strange." ”

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at him coldly: "If you show these things again, believe it or not, I will let people cut you with a knife?" ”

Hu Zeli didn't dare to hold it up, walked to the center of the iron plate, reached out and grabbed an iron block, and pulled it out violently, and the iron left the iron plate, revealing a delicate keyhole. Hu Zeli took out a bronze key from the wooden box: "You insert the key into the iron plate, twist it three times to the right and three times to the left, and the mechanism will be opened." If you screw it wrong, you will immediately pour iron into it, and you don't want to know what it is. ”

Yang Youcai took the key and shouted to the four sides: "Get out of the way, your eyes are bright, if there is anything wrong, remember to protect Your Highness." Then he came to the keyhole, and as Hu Zeli said, he reached out and twisted the mechanism.

I only heard the sound of the machine spring sounding heavily, Yang Youcai had already withdrawn ten steps to protect Cheng Xiaolian, and Lu Li's eyes widened, wanting to see what was going on.

Then the iron plate slowly turned upward, and everyone saw a flash of white light in front of them, and looked carefully inside, only to see silver ingots side by side, and it was difficult to see how many there were for a while.

Cheng Xiaolian didn't care about the silver ingots, and looked at Hu Zeli carefully: "Now, you can explain what this is all about." ”

"This story was told to me by the crown prince, and I will tell you it as it is."

At the beginning, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang pacified the world and expelled the Yuan Dynasty to Mobei to herd sheep. But after all, Zhu Yuanzhang is a generation of heroes, he wants to plan for his children and grandchildren, if one day, the Ming Dynasty has also reached the moment of life and death?

So he left a large number of silver taels in Xi'an and Nanjing, but the silver taels were saved, and it was inevitable that some unscrupulous descendants would squander them wantonly, they may not have this kind of insight, and when they saw the peaceful and prosperous times, they naturally spent all the silver, and then what would they talk about recovering the country? Therefore, the existence of this silver is known only to the emperor alone.

But there were two forks in the middle, one was the martyrdom of Emperor Jianwen, the old man Chengzu took away his nephew's country, and he didn't expect his nephew to tell him these things, but Zhu Di finally heard the news, so he sent a large number of people to find Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts. He didn't dare not look for it, he raided Nanjing to seize the world, and those brothers in his own family didn't know what to think, in case they and Zhu Yunwen joined forces to fight against him, and then got this money, then he would have to give up the throne.

So I looked for Emperor Jianwen for many years, and finally Emperor Jianwen didn't find it, but found a poem and a key left by Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Di knew that his nephew didn't have the mind to make a comeback, so he accepted the key and found the silver according to the instructions.

The second fork was to Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao, who suddenly died in the leopard room in the sixteenth year of Zhengde, and the successor Emperor Jiajing had not even seen his face, let alone knew about it.

But the ancestors' old precedent cannot be abolished, and Zhengde also thought about this kind of thing when he was dying, but he had no children in his life, and even if he wanted to pass on this matter, there was no one to pass it on. On the other hand, he was also worried that the news had fallen into the hands of unscrupulous people, and the capital left by his ancestors had become the wedding clothes of others, so he didn't say anything about his relatives and eunuchs, but left the suicide note behind his father's tablet, only hoping that his successor would find out about it.

But the successor Jiajing loves his father and mother very much, and does not intend to re-recognize a father and mother, since entering Beijing, he has fought with the courtiers about this matter, and the great etiquette dispute has lasted for three and a half years, and finally Emperor Jiajing ignored the opposition of the courtiers, posthumously respected his biological father as the emperor of literature, and promoted his father's tablet to the temple to end. His own Lao Tzu's tablets are all in the Taimiao, who cares about other people's Lao Tzu's tablets, so this matter is broken.

It wasn't until later that Emperor Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, and he wanted to make a bold move and had no money to call the shots, and finally Li Zicheng entered Beijing, and Chongzhen did not find out the secret when he hanged the coal mountain.

It's just that Zhu Cihuan took the tablets of his ancestors with him when he left Beijing, and at that time he didn't realize that the Ming Dynasty would die in the country, but he just felt that this was a disaster, and he would be able to return to the country sooner or later.

Later, he wiped these tablets day and night, and he finally discovered the secret, but at this time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and the Ming army was defeated like a mountain, and he never had a chance to say about it.
