The Queen Mother said, "Madam Zhen, you can take people down first."
"Yes." After Madam Zhen responded respectfully, she left with the serving people.
The Empress Dowager then looked at Emperor Cheng and said, "Emperor, who do you think it was done by me?"
"Who else dares to be so bold except for the Prince of the King of England and Chu Xiuming!" Emperor Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "And this matter was obviously done by Chu Xiuming."
"Does the emperor have evidence?" The empress dowager asked, not as angry as Emperor Cheng.
Emperor Cheng's face looked even more ugly, "No."
The empress dowager spoke, "How did the emperor know that it was made by Chu Xiuming?"
Emperor Cheng looked at the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember why did you let the Marquis of Yongning return to the border town?"
"But..." Emperor Cheng said hesitantly.
The Empress Dowager frowned and looked at Emperor Cheng and said, "But why did the emperor want Chu Xiuming to send troops to Shu?"
Emperor Cheng did not speak, and the Empress Dowager said in a deep voice, "This wasted time, emperor, what do you think?"
"My mother knows about the treasures of the previous dynasty." Emperor Cheng suddenly said.
The queen mother frowned and said, "What's going on?"
"Tai, when Zu led his troops into the capital, the last emperor of the previous dynasty had already brought people..." Emperor Cheng slowly said the matter, "Tai, Zu had sent people to Shu to look for..."
"Do you suspect that there is really a treasure of the previous dynasty in Shu?" The Empress Dowager looked at Emperor Cheng, "that's even worse, Chu Xiuming shouldn't have sent troops to Shu."
Emperor Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "I suspect that the Prince of Ying has found the location of the treasures of the previous dynasty."
The Empress Dowager's face looked panicked. If the prince of Ying really allowed him to get the treasure of the previous dynasty...
Emperor Cheng said in a deep voice, "If it is true, then the prince of the King of Ying must have sent heavy troops to protect the place in Shu, otherwise how could my 50,000 army be... " Thinking of the successive defeats, Emperor Cheng did not think that only the foolish people with less than a thousand people could do this.
The Queen Mother didn't say anything and suddenly asked, "How did this news come from?"
Emperor Cheng then whispered, "Actually, the second prince overheard the news that day and was later rescued by Gaochang."
"Will it be that simple?" the queen mother said in disbelief.
Emperor Cheng looked a little bad and said, "It was the day when Prince Yongsheng was killed, Gaochang used Prince Yongsheng and eight thousand soldiers as bait, and then he rescued the people."
The Empress Dowager believed it a little bit, and Emperor Cheng continued, "But after all... they all acted secretly. Because the second prince brought back the news, it was even harder to make a big fuss. Gaochang specially sent the remaining two princes and other princes back to Beijing, and then brought the news back."
"Where is the second prince?" asked the queen mother.
Emperor Cheng said, "I am still in Shu."
The Empress Dowager hesitated for a moment, "Then do you ask Chu Xiuming to send troops there?"
Emperor Cheng nodded, "I want the soldiers and horses of the Marquis of Yongning to explore the way. Now that the second prince has been rescued, I think the prince of the King of Ying will be more alert in Shu. When I see Chu Xiuming's men, I will naturally be nervous... I also sent my confidants to..."
In fact, Emperor Cheng wanted to be the profitable fisherman. Chu Xiuming would not send too many people for the sake of the stability of the border, at most 5,000 to 10,000. So what if the soldiers are strong? How many people can be left after fighting with the Prince of Ying? Then Gaochang and the others will take the opportunity to find the treasure.
The Empress Dowager now also understood that when she thought of Yucheng, she asked, "Didn't the Marquis of Yongning notice something in advance?"
"Impossible." Emperor Cheng said, "I couldn't believe the treasures of the previous dynasty at first. After all, it was not mentioned by the former emperor. After the news from Shuzhong came, I checked some records left by the historians of the ancestors at that time, and then I dared to be sure."
The Empress Dowager frowned and said without saying anything. Emperor Cheng said, "So I can't think of any other reason except for disobeying the order."
"There is another possibility." The Empress Dowager suddenly said, "Emperor, you said that the prince of the British has cooperated with the barbarians. If you want the barbarians to be a supporter, you must get rid of the Marquis of Yongning, or..."
"Let me and Yongning Hou have a deeper rift." Emperor Cheng calmed down, thought of this, and frowned, "And it's not said that the prince of King Ying was afraid that Chu Xiuming would lead his troops to rob the treasures of the previous dynasty..."
In the border town, Madam Zhao was taking advantage of the sun and taking a bath with Shen Jin, saying, "I think Emperor Cheng should know the news about Yucheng in the past few days."
"Yeah." Chen Jin held Dongdong's head with one hand and held his little butt with the other hand, and made a grimace from time to time to tease Dongdong. Madam Zhao carefully shampooed Dongdong's hair with fine cotton and water.
Madam Zhao said, "What do you think Emperor Cheng will do?"
"You'll be angry." Chen Jin thought for a while and said.
"What if Emperor Cheng issues another order?" Madam Zhao felt that Emperor Cheng was not a person who would give up.
Chen Jin opened his mouth, "Just say that my husband is leading troops outside, and there is no one to make the decision in the border town."
Madam Zhao thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid I'll ask to see Princess Ruyang then?"
"Then tell them that the princess was here together." Chen Jin said without hesitation, "See the princess? The princess is noble and not everyone can see it. Just don't let it see it."
Madam Zhao laughed and said, "Yes, anyway, Emperor Cheng has no choice but to the border town now."
Chen Jin nodded. It was precisely because of this that she dared to send someone to Yucheng to deal with the envoys. She just understood that even if it was discovered that it was sent by someone from the border city, Emperor Cheng would have no choice. Now Emperor Cheng needs Chu Xiuming especially, not Chu Xiuming needs Emperor Cheng. Even without Emperor Cheng and military talismans, Chu Xiuming can control all the military power around the border city.
Chen Jin didn't know at this time, because the treasures of the previous dynasty had already made Emperor Cheng and the Empress Dowager suspicious, and instead did not contact the matter of Yucheng to them. After all, Emperor Cheng was sure that he was the only one who had the news except the Prince of Ying. Chu Xiuming could not have known it. If he had learned it, Chu Xiuming would have invited troops to Shuzhong long ago.
When Emperor Cheng and the Empress Dowager joined forces to hide something, it would be difficult to get any news even in the border town. So when the Zhao family came and brought this news, Chen Jin was a little stunned.
"Uncle, do you mean that there may be treasures of the previous dynasty in Shu?" Chen Jin looked at Zhao Duan and said in a daze.
Zhao Duan is the younger brother of Princess Rui. According to his identity, he could afford Chen Jin's uncle. Not only Chen Jin was stunned, but also General Manager Wang and Manager Zhao were also stunned. After hearing the abnormality discovered by Prince Yongle Hou, he always felt a little subtle in his heart.
Zhao Duan said after hearing this, "It's just that there are such rumors." He told Chen Jin all the things Zhao Ru said at the beginning.
General Manager Wang and Manager Zhao had already believed it a little. Madam Zhao frowned and looked at Chen Jin. Chen Jin asked, "Then was the last emperor of the previous dynasty captured in Shu?"
"It's not like that," Zhao Duan explained, "but because along the way the last emperor fled, Shu was the most likely to hide things."
Chen Jin asked, "Why do you think it was a treasure of the previous dynasty? Instead of too, the ancestor emperor went to find something else?"
"Because the palace is empty, both the inner treasury and the national treasury are very empty, and the last emperor is happy and luxurious." Zhao Duan explained without any impatience.
Chen Jin nodded, not knowing whether he accepted this explanation, but instead looked at Zhao Jun and Zhao Che and said with a smile, "I don't know what arrangements are made by these two cousins?"
Zhao Jun and Zhao Che were actually a little uncomfortable, because although their Zhao family came to surrender, Yongning Hou has not shown up yet. Zhao Duan smiled and said, "Justice Yongning Hou will make arrangements."
"Oh, my husband is not here." Chen Jin looked at Zhao Duan and said, "Don't you know, uncle?"
Zhao Duan looked at Chen Jin helplessly, but no one told him how could he know? Moreover, when he brought his children from the clan, the people in the border city were all looking at them with caution. If there were no people from the General's Mansion to pick them up, those people would not only look at them.
"Yue Wen didn't tell his uncle." Chen Jin smiled embarrassedly at Zhao Duan's expression, "Yue Wen just doesn't like to talk, but if his husband is here, he will definitely go to welcome his uncle in person."
Whether it was Zhao Duan or Zhao Jun, his heart felt much more relaxed at this time. Chen Jin smiled and said, "By the way, Xiuyuan is not here. Chen Xi is training in the military camp now. Because his husband said he would not give special treatment, he is not yet on holiday and cannot come out to see his uncle."
Zhao Duan was not displeased when he heard this, but instead felt that the Yongning Hou Zhijun was rigorous. In this way, their chances of winning would be more, "I should do this."
Chen Jin smiled and said, "Dongdong is sleeping now. When he wakes up later, he will bring him to play with his uncle and cousins."
Dongdong? Zhao Duan was stunned for a moment and thought, afraid that he would be the eldest son of Yongning Hou, and would bring him to play with him?
Zhao Jun and Zhao Che looked at each other and always felt that this cousin was a bit unreliable enough.
Manager Wang and Manager Zhao were amused and crying, but when they saw Zhao Duan and others relaxed a lot, their posture became much more comfortable, and they didn't speak silently.
Chen Jin nodded, "It's very fun, he's going to turn over now." He first showed off his son, and Chen Jin continued, "What arrangements does my uncle have for the Zhao family?"
Zhao Duan laughed when he heard this. His smile became a little more real. He said, "As for the local customs, since I brought them here, I should follow the rules of the border town."
Chen Jin thought for a while and said, "Those who want to follow the martial arts will go to the military camp with Shen Xi to train. If you want to follow the literary talent, follow General Wang to manage it, and then make arrangements."
Zhao Duan nodded. In fact, this arrangement is very reasonable. No matter what you do, if you don’t understand it at all, it will easily lead to accidents. Chen Jin’s arrangement is probably because Yongning Hou is planning to reuse the Zhao family’s children. Chen Jin said again, “If you are uncle, follow Zhao to manage the matter and take over the Yucheng affairs in a while.”
Yucheng? Zhao Duan looked at Chen Jin, and Chen Jin said, "Oh, my husband thinks that there is a nest of bandits in Yucheng is too dangerous. Think about it, let's wipe it out first."
Chen Jin naturally pressed these things on Chu Xiuming, because it was too bloody and bloody, so it would be better for her to be a spoiled lady.
Mr. Wang glanced at Madam Zhao, who was standing next to Shen Jin, whose face had not changed at all, and then looked at Chen Jin's sincere look, as if even the dimples seemed particularly innocent.
Zhao Duan was happy and said, "Of course I am willing."
Chen Jin nodded and smiled, "The place where my uncle and cousins live is next to the general's mansion. If there is anything missing, just tell Manager Zhao."
Zhao Duan smiled and said, "Then I'm not polite."
Chen Jin nodded and suddenly said, "Actually, I think that treasure is fake."
Everyone didn't react for a moment. Chen Jin said, "Who would bring so many gold, silver and jewelry when he ran away? Even if he brought it, why would he still find a place to hide it so leisurely? It's not just hidden it along the way."
For some reason, everyone felt it was unlikely to hear Chen Jin say this.
Chen Jin took a sip of honey water, looked at everyone and asked, "Do you think it's true?"
General Manager Wang and Director Zhao stopped talking, and Zhao Duan said, "I have suspected it too."
Chen Jin spoke, "Well, the most important point is that the last emperor has no time to hide those things too carefully. Too, the ancestor emperor can't find them for so long. At least it will take a long time to build them. It's too late to escape, so where can anyone and time to repair them?"
Madam Zhao laughed and said, "Mrs. I'm right."
Chen Jin narrowed his eyes and smiled, "In fact, it might be that Emperor Zu was just looking for someone or something, but because he didn't find it, there was no record. Otherwise, if there was a treasure in the previous dynasty, Emperor Tai, why would he leave some clues for future generations?" Tianqi Dynasty had only produced Emperor Cheng for so long, and Emperor Cheng's method of ascending the throne was not open and righteous.
Zhao Jun and Zhao Che looked at each other, and Zhao Che said, "I think what my cousin said is reasonable."
"It's just why so many people believe it?" Zhao Jun asked with a frown.
"Money makes people feel moved, not to mention how many good things have they saved after seven generations of the previous dynasty?" Manager Zhao said in a deep voice, "In the face of such temptation, many people probably have lost their minds and have not thought about these things carefully."
"But where did those jewelry from the previous dynasty go?" Zhao Che thought for a while and said, "I think there should be a lot less, otherwise such rumors would not have been passed down."
"I don't know, maybe I'll be spent by the last emperor." Chen Jin thought for a while and said, "Even if the money my predecessors saved, they can't stand the scourge of prodigal sons."
Zhao Duan also spoke, "And the two emperors above the last emperor of the previous dynasty are not wise masters."
General Manager Wang sneered, "Not only that, the last emperor favored the treacherous and treacherous, and those people stole things from the national treasury and the inner treasury. Anyway, the last emperor didn't care about these."
