Chapter 241 Origin

"Where is the special camp?" Liu Yong asked.

"Twenty-five miles. We have been changing our identities and scattering into teams of various sizes to move forward. So the distance has always been not far." Zhou Rui replied.

"Do you know where that cavalry unit is?" Liu Yong knew that the Special Battalion and the Cavalry team had always maintained good contact to coordinate their positions with each other.

"If the final prediction is correct, they should be quietly following behind the Chunnan army. The situation is that they notified us with the flying eagle, and then I came to report it." Zhou Rui said confidently.

"It's done very well." Liu Yong praised: "This time I'm going to remember the merits for you. Let's go and see Zhengluo Ye together. In this matter, what we say is nothing more than that. Haha."

When they arrived at the study, Ye Tao happened to disassemble and reassemble the box provided by Wang Shi, and also completed the first simulated lock picking. He was relieved and prepared to take a break and then start cracking the Zanglong box. Although it was a simulation, Ye Tao, who worked hard, was still tired and sweating profusely, drinking herbal tea. After listening to Liu Yong's explanation of the situation, Ye Tao immediately moved to the room where Chen Kai was placed.

Without loud voices or urging, Ye Tao walked into the room without any conspicuousness. Such a scene made Chen Kai's heart flash with a hint of suspicion.

"Are you Chen Kai? What do you have to say?" Ye Tao asked.

"Are you Ye Tao?" Chen Kai's question was quite rude, but it bluntly reflected his suspicion.

"Yes. I am." Ye Tao's answer was still simple and plain, but it revealed solid confidence and solidity.

"Mr. Ye," Chen Kai reluctantly bowed his hand. His current state made it difficult for him to move. "The people who chased me killed all my family. In order to allow me to escape, my last few subordinates died last night. The guys who chased me were definitely not the gangs they claimed to be. They were a bunch of lunatics, a bunch of hypocrites, and a bunch of ungrateful thugs..." Chen Kai became excited.

"You don't have to be excited. Who are you? Who is the person chasing you?" Ye Tao asked calmly, revealing the most basic and critical questions.

"I am the eleventh generation of the last prime minister of the previous dynasty. You should be familiar with my ancestors, right? Lord Ye, if you hadn't created the so-called great school of history and discovered the abnormalities of the ancestors through historical research, maybe I wouldn't have reached this point now. Of course, it's only for a moment." Chen Kai expressed this identity that surprised everyone with a self-deprecating tone. "The person who chased me naturally did not want the various evidences contained in that Tibetan box to be revealed to the world."

"Evidence? What kind of evidence can be proved?" Ye Tao asked.

"Prove that the ancestor Chen Jia was not the source of the destruction of the previous dynasty. Although he was not a loyal minister and was not able to turn the tide, he was not a treacherous minister who led to the destruction of the dynasty! Prove that there were still Miao descendants in the imperial family of the previous dynasty! Prove that Emperor Daomingzong was not from a divine gift but composed of a group of ambitious and hypocrites! Prove... Prove... Prove... Prove that the hope of the revival of the Tang Dynasty in Middle-earth was destroyed by a small group of people. Isn't these enough?" Chen Kai said eagerly.

Ye Tao still maintained a calm expression, just raised his eyebrows and said, "There is no fight outside yet, it is still quiet. Can you tell me a brief story about what you know? I am still very interested in these stories."

Chen Kai seemed to have no feeling at all about Ye Tao's intentional derogation of the history of evidence as a story. He began to tell the story of what began in the past twenty or thirty years before the collapse of the Tang Dynasty in the previous dynasty. Although it sounds simple, the various situations contained in it are already touching.

Chen Jia is indeed not a loyal minister. But there is no doubt that he was indeed the last capable minister before the collapse of the Tang Dynasty. Chen Jia served as an ordinary scholar. In the officialdom where corruption was popular, he was not better than anyone else's background. However, Chen Jia started as a minor official who inspected local taxes. While constantly giving away several times his performance than his colleagues, he quickly entered the Ministry of Revenue with clever means and became the Minister of Revenue in the Ministry of Revenue in his thirties. Because of his outstanding performance and rich and thoughtful interpersonal methods, he was also valued by Yang Yin, the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty. After more than ten years of official games, he finally became a prime minister. He was in this position until the day the Tang Dynasty was destroyed.

At that time, Chen Jia had no idea about financial management. Especially for decades of bribery, he was very experienced and creative in all kinds of methods of transferring assets. Finally, he was attracted by Yang Yin and helped the imperial family transfer assets. At that time, Yang Yin had realized that the demise of the Tang Dynasty was about to come. It depends on when the last straw that crushed the dynasty fell. Is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster? Everything is possible. Yang Yin himself wanted to die with the dynasty, but he wanted his two sons to live a good life, even as a civilian.

As the prime minister, Chen Jia accepted this challenge. Although he was indeed not a model minister, and although his ability to maintain his image on the surface was almost comparable to that of his private management, he did have hope, expectation, and attachment to the Tang Dynasty. After becoming prime minister, when he saw enough and deep enough, and realized that he could not change the fall of a huge unified country no matter what, he naturally became more and more degenerate. However, when Yang Yin made such a request, Chen Jia still followed it without any compromise. This may be his only time, and he followed the holy will a little beyond his disposal.

In order to achieve this, Chen Jia even forged the empire's return. There was a considerable military victory, the increase in farmland production, the rectification of administration, and even auspiciousness from the sky, as if hope of revival was imminent. And Chen Jia's glorious impression at that time was also a common impression in everyone's mind before the abnormal situation was revealed: Chen Jia was a capable minister. In fact, Chen Jia was doing things with various extreme methods that overdraw the power of the entire empire for many years. At that time, taxes were squeezed against ordinary people.

The exploitation and disposal of the rich and unofficial landlords and wealthy families without backgrounds was so severe that they did not provoke large-scale rebellion, which was really a great method for Chen Jia. In addition to maintaining the huge expenditure of the empire and using various methods to gain time for Chen Jia to deploy, the large amount of money was transferred by Chen Jia in various ways. In fact, the various means of misappropriating and transferring assets that Chen Jia had tried at that time were simply a wonderful tutorial.

Chen Jia, together with the national teacher Wu Chenzi at that time, formed a loyal army with the sole goal of protecting the imperial family's Miao people. They also bought many assets in various forms and entrusted them to suitable family operations, allowing the imperial family's Miao people to use dividends to ensure sufficient expenses every year. Some arrangements existed hundreds of years ago and are still well-managed.

Of course, Chen Jia would not be rewarded for doing this. Many relatives and friends related to the Chen family have gained some benefits. As for the wealth Chen Jia left to his family, although it is indeed a little less than the part that the imperial descendants can enjoy, the difference is not particularly amazing. After Chen Jia's arrangements were implemented one by one, the Tang Empire naturally destroyed the country.

Because it was surrounded by mountains, Xiling could be regarded as a paradise at that time, and most of Chen Jia's arrangements were in Xiling. After arriving in Xiling, the Chen family hid their names and wanted to keep secrets from generation to generation until everyone almost completely erases the memories of the previous dynasty. However, the situation seemed not that simple.

The national teacher Wu Chenzi and the Chen family are old friends. Wu Chenzi works diligently and puts great efforts in taking care of the imperial descendants, and does not allow any mistakes in all aspects. Although this national teacher is not a smart person, he is not a villain, and he is still very generous. But one of Wu Chenzi's disciples is completely different. After learning Wu Chenzi's Taoism and martial arts, the disciple named Qianjun had a different mind.

For Wu Chenzi, who had no children, Qianjun was his own child. Qianjun inherited Wu Chenzi's status without any obstacles and suspense. In terms of jointly protecting the imperial descendants, Qianjun was also perfect, because for him, there was indeed nothing more beneficial to him and left a lingering taste than doing this well. However, Qianjun had been working tirelessly for more than ten years after the demise of the Tang Dynasty: to summon souls for the destruction of the country.

Qianjun tried various methods: secret association, assassination, intimidation, spreading mysterious thoughts, etc. Since the last few years of the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the impression left by the people was not good, Qianjun has never achieved any real results. But both him and his disciples gradually realized the strange bewitching power of secret association and mysticism. Therefore, when the imperial descendants were hidden deeper and deeper, they were gradually not told about their true identities, but were treated as a hidden family of a very large background, and at the same time, they expanded this system from generation to generation, and eventually became the prototype of the Daoming Emperor.

When the power of Daomingzong began to accumulate to a certain extent, although there were Wuchenzi and the gradually accumulated elements of the skills and experience of the professional genius of Qianjunyi, the more important thing was that the unified empire after the division. The continuous attacks and annexation of the vassal states in almost the entire territory made many ordinary people realize that although the last period of the Tang Dynasty was indeed not good, at least many people could still have a way out. But in the attacks of these vassals, even if they wanted to
