Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 915

"Come on, don't be afraid, there is no danger!"

Tantai Pingchuan waved at the children, and without waiting for their response, stepped into the door first.

Several children looked at each other, they surrounded Song Jue in a tacit understanding, a few shadows walked on the outermost edge, and followed Tantai Pingchuan into the door.

After walking in, I found that the eyes suddenly opened up. The style of this hidden courtyard is completely different from the outside, and it looks a little more solemn.

Although this courtyard has been abandoned for many years, after many years of vicissitudes, no one has taken care of and repaired it, and it looks a bit dilapidated, but it can still be seen that the owner of this courtyard put a lot of effort into building it.

"Do you feel..." After Song Jue walked in, he felt that his eyes were not enough. He looked here and there for a long time, followed everyone to the middle of the yard, and saw the row of small houses , blinking his eyes, "Do you think this looks familiar?"

"Doesn't it look familiar? You should have just walked around this morning." Song Qiyun and Song Yaojia said in unison, "This is basically a smaller imperial garden. Isn't this row of small houses the Lianyi Pavilion? This Tong The king is quite interesting, really thinking about his brother's dragon chair? He actually built the imperial garden into his own courtyard."

"It's no wonder we need to use secret doors. If this is seen by outsiders and spread to the ears of Emperor Chongde, it will completely confirm the rumors of treason." Jin Miaomiao nodded, looked around, and tsk tsk Twice, "When the time comes, the rumors will be true. No matter how much Emperor Chongde cares about brotherhood, he can't just sit idly by, right?"

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha didn't speak, they looked at Tantai Pingchuan at the same time, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"If I remember correctly, all the expenses of this house were paid for by Emperor Chongde's private treasury. That is to say, Emperor Chongde built this house for King Tong, and was responsible for supervising and supervising its construction. They are all the most caring and trusting eunuchs of Emperor Chongde, even every brick, every tile, that piece of wood, and all the furnishings in this house are all decided by Emperor Chongde." Tantai Pingchuan He glanced lightly at the shocked children, then at Uncle Qing who had a calm expression, "Am I right?"

"..." Uncle Qing looked at the children, then at Tantai Pingchuan, and nodded silently.

"Uncle Qing?" Song Yaojia looked at Uncle Qing in a daze, "What does this have to do with you?"

"A craftsman who participated in the design of this house should be your relative, right?" Tantai Pingchuan walked in front of Uncle Qing, "I thought you looked familiar when I was at the gate of Daiwang's Mansion just now, but I didn't think about it for a while. Get up. I thought about it all the way, until I arrived at this house, I didn't realize that you look very similar to the person I had a relationship with."

"You're right!" Uncle Qing nodded and smiled at Song Yaojia, "My great-great-uncle was one of the craftsmen who participated in the construction of this house. It's a pity that no one in our family has inherited his craftsmanship."

"Why?" Song Jue tilted her head, looking at this person who grew up from a young age, "Uncle Qing, your hands are also very skillful, why don't you learn from them?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, there should be no interest, and the craftsmanship of the great-great-uncle has not been handed down. In my generation, even the manuscripts are incomplete." Uncle Qing sighed softly, "Besides, Emperor Chongde is a lot of people. Those who are suspicious and suspicious, and all the craftsmen who built the other courtyard, the royal villa outside, and the imperial mausoleum, in fact, did not have a good death. When I heard that my great-great-uncle passed away, it was very painful."

The people present didn't know what to say, they could only look at Uncle Qing silently, and Song Yaojia who was standing beside him patted him on the shoulder lightly.

"Why do you feel uncomfortable? I don't feel anything. It's been too long ago." Uncle Qing waved his hand, "About this house, I actually don't know much about it. I saw it in a few manuscripts I kept. I just know that this house was paid for by Emperor Chongde, and he did everything by himself. Great-great-uncle said in his manuscript that although His Majesty is suspicious, but for the sake of his brother's house. It’s rare to spend a lot of thought, and there’s a big difference between the brother’s quarrel with rumors outside.” He spread his hands towards the children, “That’s all I know, and I don’t know anything else.”

"This door..." Song Qiyun pointed to the trap door they just walked in, "Don't you know?"

"My lord, there is a rule of one line. Craftsmen like them, once they accept the order from the master's family, they must keep the secrets for the master's family. If any craftsman breaks the rules, tell the secret of the master's family." Even if I completely ruined my livelihood. What's more..." Qing Bo sighed, "This time the master is Emperor Chongde?"

"Uncle Qing is right. This is a big taboo. Not only will his reputation be ruined, but he may also lose his life." Shen Cha nodded and looked at Tantai Pingchuan, "Speaking of which, isn't Emperor Chongde always on guard against King Tong? Didn’t you always worry that he would snatch your throne? How could you spend money, people, and efforts to build such an exquisite house for the greatest threat? It can’t be..." She exchanged a look with Shen Haolin , the two thought of the same point, "King Tong's life and death were unknown at the time, could it be that he was imprisoned here by Emperor Chongde?"

"Thinking too much." Tantai Pingchuan shook his head, took out the handkerchief from his arms, walked to a row of small houses, pushed the door sideways, let the dust and smell inside dissipate for a while, and walked towards several The individual raised his chin, "Come on!"

Ying Shisan blocked Tantai Pingchuan, and went in by himself, except for the dusty furniture and some decorations, he didn't find anything abnormal, so he let everyone in.

"Even inside the house, the layout is the same as the Lianyi Pavilion." After Song Jue walked in, he looked around, walked to the Duobao Pavilion on the west side, and carefully looked at the decorations above, "This... ..."

"The ones you put in the warehouse are actually imitations, this is the real thing." Tantai Pingchuan walked to Song Jue, and also looked at the decorations on it, "These are Tong Wang's favorites, they left the palace Bring them all out before."

"Old general!" Song Jue looked at Tantai Pingchuan seriously, watching him fiddle with the decorations on the Duobao Pavilion, and took down two of the pink-glazed tea bowls and the kettle with twigs and flowers and put them aside, "Chong The relationship between Emperor De and King Tong is actually not as bad as the outside rumors, right? They should even be much closer than everyone thinks, right?"

Tantai Pingchuan smiled at Song Jue, did not answer, just groped on the Duobao Pavilion, touched the familiar small dots on the three empty grid bases, pressed them down one by one, and listened after a while When the creaking sound was heard, when the sound subsided, the Duobao Pavilion was opened from the middle to the left and right sides, revealing the secret room hidden behind the Duobao Pavilion.
