surnamed Wang

The old man opened the notebook and said slowly:

"During the thousands of years of the dynasty, there have been dozens of catastrophes. Taking history as a mirror, some of them are doomed to fail, such as the Red Flower Festival, the Guangtian Uprising, and the entry of the Dragon Gang into Beijing.

Some of these people confuse others with their beliefs, and some are willing to become bandits. In the final analysis, they are nothing more than mobs who get carried away with a little power and wealth, disturbing the people's livelihood, and most of them are recruited or exterminated in the end.

In addition, the battles in the court will not hurt the root cause, no matter whether the prince seizes the throne, the relatives usurp power, or the eunuch interferes in politics, it will most disrupt the officialdom and the court.

No matter who wins the power, the situation will be stabilized again, and what can be called endangering the country is what is hidden inside.

Fields, taxation, official administration... These imperceptible things are more likely to turn into deep-rooted diseases. On the surface, they seem harmless, but in fact they push the dynasty into the abyss all the time. When they react, they are already terminally ill.

How many dynasties throughout the ages have died of the word "corruption". Food is the most important thing for the people, but the land is in the hands of a few. Peace and prosperity'.

It wasn't until the rebels invaded the imperial city that the emperor suddenly realized that he had been blinded and the world was not what he thought it would be, but it was too late now. "

Speaking of this, the old lady stopped talking, shook her head and said with a smile:

"As I get older, I start nagging unconsciously, let's continue talking about the dynasty.

After years of research, I have discovered several people who have made great contributions, the first of which is Emperor Shun.

Although archaeology in recent years has pointed to his attempt to usurp the throne, the flaws are not hidden. Emperor Shun undoubtedly laid the foundation stone for the thousand-year inheritance of the dynasty.

Without him founding the Qingwen Pavilion and drastic rectification of the administration of officials, it would be impossible to have the subsequent dominance of the world and the coming of all nations.

And the most admirable point is that before he died, he actually passed the throne to his younger brother, who was later Wandi.

Unofficial history records that Emperor Wan had always been at odds with Emperor Shun. After the other party had an incident, he personally led an army to suppress it.

Outsiders don't know the love and hatred between the two brothers, but Emperor Shan Chongshun's open-mindedness really deserves the title of "one emperor through the ages". "

When the old lady said this, she handed the notes in her hand to Wang Biquan, who took them respectfully and read them carefully.

A book is full of records of Emperor Shun's life, even hobbies and rumors are listed, it can be seen that the old man loves this emperor very much.

"Suspected of having an affair with the nanny..."

When Wang Pingquan saw this sentence, he subconsciously said aloud, and at the same time a picture appeared in his mind:
Thousands of troops marched south, and they did not forget to post notices to distribute leaflets along the way. A young man stood in the middle of the team, smiling very happily watching the notices.

The old lady said at this time:
"I've always had doubts. According to historical records, Emperor Shun was infatuated and only accepted one queen in his life. As for the nanny, it's probably mostly rumors."

"That's not necessarily the case. Maybe the queen looks a lot like his wet nurse."

Wang Gangquan said casually that he didn't have any evidence, but he just couldn't help but want to discredit the emperor.

The old lady nodded thoughtfully, picked up another notebook, and continued:
"The second great emperor of the dynasty should be given to the empress Wanyue, but later I found another even more great emperor, the Wan Di I mentioned earlier.

Wandi is the eighth son of Emperor Shengen. After ascending the throne, he has done a lot of icing on the cake. Because Emperor Shun's halo is so strong, later generations pay little attention to Wandi, and only regard him as a well-behaved emperor. "

Wang Gangquan's heart couldn't help but move, an inexplicable sense of familiarity welled up, and he asked:
"What's so special about Wan Di?"

"There is nothing to be seen from the official history alone, but it can be replaced by local chronicles. After a little scrutiny, his life does not seem to be that simple."

The old lady handed in the notes, and Wang Bingquan opened them as usual, and the first sentence of the opening sentence was a bit unbelievable:
Today, when the Northern Turks invaded, a righteous man named Zhao rushed into the battlefield, defeated the enemy soldiers, and took the general's head from the tens of thousands of troops. This is taken from Fragment 35 of "Yan's Military Records".

The young man was slightly speechless, but the old lady said softly:

"There's more in the back."

Wang Gangquan continued to look down, and what happened next became even more frightening:
Beitu gathered 30 troops to invade the country, and Shundi drove northward, and a fairy came with a sword, roaming the sky, and fought against the monsters for [-] rounds.

The sword immortal crossed the frontier with one sword, and the foreign races dare not cross it since then——Fragment Volume 210 II of "Yan's Military Records". "this……"

Wang Gangquan knew that the ancients liked to exaggerate, but flying to the sky and escaping from the earth would be too ridiculous.

The old man added calmly:
"That person should be the legendary sword god Zhao Zhiyi. Coincidentally, he has the same surname as the swordsman who entered the enemy line alone."

"You mean they are the same person?"

The old lady nodded and said:

"Not only that, I even suspect that he is related to Wandi. During the period from Emperor Sheng'en to Emperor Shun, the dynasty's ordnance developed rapidly. Not only did it create firecrackers hundreds of years ahead of the West, but even artillery with an amazing range.

All these are inseparable from the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry at that time, and that Shangshu has a very close personal relationship with Wandi.

The figure of the Eighth Prince has also appeared in many local government annals. Whenever the country is in crisis, he will appear, and it seems that there is a fairy protecting his body, so that he can turn danger into good fortune. "

"Even so, it can't be determined that he is related to immortals, right?"

For some reason, Wang Gangquan felt guilty, as if his underpants had been ripped open, making people see everything.

The old lady seemed a little tired, she leaned on the back of the chair and said:

"One thing you may not know is that the imperial mausoleum was stolen not long ago, and several experts went to participate in the restoration.

According to their speculation, the one that was stolen this time was most likely the Mausoleum of the Wandi. Many rare and antiques were missing in it, but the scrolls were preserved, and the contents recorded were varied, including many ordnance structural diagrams.

And the most astonishing thing is that the coffin was not damaged, but the body disappeared. "

Hearing this, Wang Gangquan subconsciously said:

"Ascension to immortality?"

The old man nodded, "That's why I boldly guessed whether this emperor has something to do with immortals. After all, he is the same as Emperor Shun. There is only one empress in the harem, and she lives and dies in the same cave. There shouldn't be just a tomb of clothes .”

In the end, the old man sighed, relying on those sporadic records, it is impossible to get a glimpse of the whole picture. This may be the tragedy of historians.

……

Wang Gangquan read the notes carefully, and some fragments in them always made him feel dazed for a while.

But after he was in a trance, he couldn't remember anything. When he watched it a second time, the sense of familiarity was no longer so strong. It seemed that there was some kind of force stopping him.

It was getting late, he closed his notebook and got up to say goodbye. The old lady was also tired at the moment, and smiled a little tiredly:

"Young man, if you have any questions in the future, just come here. It's been a long time since I met a young man who is as interested in history as you."

"The juniors can't ask for more."

Wang Gangquan smiled kindly.

After leaving the Zhou family, he was not relaxed, and his doubts were heavier than before.

Compared with the cold words, those emperors thousands of years ago seemed to have flesh and blood in his heart, with an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Could it be that he is the reincarnation of a certain emperor?
Wang Gangquan was thinking like this, suddenly there was a sudden brake in his ear.

In the next second, he flew sideways... (End of this chapter)
