The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1870 Origin of Jade Ax
"You all go down, the prince and I have something to say, don't let anyone stay, go."

When the imperial doctor confirmed that Zhao Xu was fine, he also breathed a sigh of relief. At first, Zhao Xu also said that he was fine, but he didn't feel relieved until the imperial doctor confirmed it.

"Xu'er, the person you mentioned said there was a jade ax in the palace, right?" Zhao Kuangyin's face was serious, and Zhao Xu saw a trace of worry on his face.

"Yes, that's what he said. He also said that the jade ax is related to the national destiny of our Great Song Dynasty. I think it's all nonsense. How could the national destiny of the Great Song Dynasty rest on the jade axe?"

Zhao Xu didn't believe that a jade ax could affect the national destiny of the Song Dynasty. Isn't this a bit feudal and ignorant, especially now that the Song Dynasty is on the rise, as the saying goes.

"Xu'er, don't talk nonsense. I haven't told you all this time. Now I'm going to tell you a secret, that is, there really is this jade axe, and it's really about the fate of the Song Dynasty."

What!
Zhao Xu was stunned. He really had a jade axe and told about the fate of the country. If others told him, Zhao Xu would think he was talking nonsense, but Zhao Kuangyin said it himself, there must be a reason for it.

"Jade axe, there really is a jade axe. Why didn't I know there was a jade axe? What's going on?" Zhao Xu was getting more and more confused now, it really existed.

"I didn't tell you before, but I wanted to wait for me to tell you a hundred years later. Now that this has happened, then I will tell you. You know that Huashan does not belong to our Zhao family, but belongs to it. Taoist, I got the jade ax at that time."

"Are you talking about Patriarch Chen Tuan?"

"Yes, the jade ax was given to me by Patriarch Chen Tuan."

Zhao Xu couldn't calm down anymore. It turned out that there was still such a saying, only the story of Zhao Kuangyin's loss to Huashan was recorded in the Romance.

Legend has it that when Zhao Kuangyin came to Huashan, he ate Chen Tuan's peaches and had nothing to mortgage, so he agreed to play chess with him in the end.

In the first round, Zhao Kuangyin won, and he became more and more proud, insisting on the second round. Patriarch Chen Tuan said, "That's all, it's getting late, I want to go home."

Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't worry about the old man, I am addicted to chess now."

Patriarch Chen Tuan laughed and said, "What if you lose?" Zhao Kuangyin said, "I'll bet on this dragon stick."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Kuangyin was defeated before he had taken a few steps in the second set.Without saying a word, Chen Tuan picked up the dragon stick and went straight to Mount Hua.How could Zhao Kuangyin admit defeat?Followed behind and yelled: "One more game, one more game!"

Shouting like this, when he caught up with Chen Tuan, he had already arrived at the chess playing pavilion at Dongfeng.

At this time, the bright moon is in the sky, the sky is like washing, the mountains are empty and the valley is quiet, and everything is silent. Only the breeze blows slowly, and the mountains are faint like Daisy.Zhao Kuangyin has never experienced such a wonderful scene, and he felt that he was in a fairyland outside, and couldn't help feeling like an illusion for a while.

It wasn't until he found that the person sitting opposite the stone table was no longer an old peach seller, but an old Taoist priest with white hair and beard, that he remembered that he was chasing the old peach seller to kill another game.

Ancestor Chen Tuan pointed to the chessboard that had been set up in front of him and said, "You are chasing after us for another round of betting. I don't know what to bet this time?"

Zhao Kuangyin knew that the old man was not a mortal, and had already admired him a lot from his heart.He knew that he had nothing on him and that he had lost to the opponent with the Coiling Dragon Cudgel. No matter what, he couldn't think of anything to bet on, so he said casually: "I bet on Huashan!"

Ancestor Chen Tuan was waiting for this sentence, of course he agreed, and said: "Empty words have no proof, we need to write a letter of agreement to prove it."

Zhao Kuangyin thought, Huashan is not mine, if you lose, you lose, so why not make a written agreement.Ancestor Chen Tuan had already prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wrote the written agreement, and asked Zhao Kuangyin to press his fingerprints before sitting down to play chess.After three sets, Zhao Kuangyin lost three sets.

Patriarch Chen Tuan said happily: "Mount Hua really belongs to my Taoist school?"

Zhao Kuangyin pretended to say: "Mountains are Taoist mountains, and trees are royal trees."

When Chen Tuan heard this, he quickly knelt down and shouted: "Thank you, Lord Longen!" Zhao Kuangyin didn't know why the Taoist priest performed the ceremony of a monarch and a minister, and was about to ask, the ancestor Chen Tuan said:
"The strong man has ninety-five honors, you will know in the future."

Zhao Kuangyin knew that he had the position of emperor, so he lost Huashan by talking nonsense, and he would be condemned by the world in the future. He felt remorse and rushed to snatch the literary contract.Unexpectedly, Patriarch Chen Tuan breathed lightly, and Wen Hong flew across the valley stream and stuck to the stone wall of Sanfeng Mountain opposite the chess pavilion.

Zhao Kuangyin slowly narrated that these were all his personal experiences. He didn't say anything but Zhao Xu was stunned. These were exactly the same as what Du Niang said in later generations, and there was almost no difference.

"At that time, I didn't think much about it. Huashan wasn't what I said at the time. In fact, I really meant to be a bit of a fool, but I didn't expect that in the end I really sat on the world. I was surprised by this!"

Zhao Kuangyin seemed to miss the life at that time very much, his eyes were shining brightly when he spoke, he was the one with the most goals then!
"But on the night when I joined Chen Qiao in the yellow robe, he appeared again and asked me to fulfill my promise. Of course I kept my promise and he also gave me something!"

Zhao Xu was there when Chen Qiao was there, but he didn't know that Chen Tuan met Zhao Kuangyin that night. If Zhao Kuangyin didn't tell her today, then everyone would not know about it!

"The thing he left you is the jade axe?" Zhao Xu was basically sure that he was talking about the jade axe.
"Yes, it's the jade axe. I haven't mentioned this matter to anyone, because this matter is too unbelievable, and I'm afraid it will cause panic if I tell it!"

"It's not like he said that the jade ax is related to the national destiny of the new dynasty, right?" Zhao Xu knew, this is the point!

"Yes, although I didn't believe it at the time because it was too absurd, but I know it's not credible. If people find out, it will definitely bring chaos to the world!"

He would rather believe what he has or not, Zhao Kuangyin also has selfish intentions, being the emperor himself can't let someone else become the emperor, a small jade ax is likely to be used by people with ulterior motives to recruit people to confuse people's hearts!

"This is also a problem!" Zhao Xu also deeply agrees. In ancient times, everything can become a fetish, and it can be regarded as a symbol of heaven. Now some people say that this small ax is related to the destiny of the country. This does not imply that whoever gets it can master it What about Guoyun becoming the emperor?

These worries are all justified, now that Chen Tuan has passed away, who else knows about it!
"This person knows that we have a jade axe, and he bluntly said that if the jade ax is lost, how is the national fortune of the Song Dynasty? Is this person a fortune teller, just like Yuan Tiangang in the previous dynasty?" Zhao Kuangyin frowned.
