Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 1471 The Secret of the Chamber of Secrets 37.0
Inside this box are all letters written by Tan Lingxuan to Xue Jinchang, the ancestor of the Xue family. From the first letter to the last letter, it lasted for quite a long time. Worried about the situation, disappointed with the government, and sympathized with the people, but that's all. No substantive opinions were raised, and the situation didn't change in any way.

"The ancestor is a scholar?" Xue Ruitian boldly asked His Royal Highness King Ning, and he was slightly relieved when he saw the other party nodded slightly, "No wonder!"

"What's the reason? You think that the old man can only worry about things, talk about wars on paper, and don't know anything else, don't you?" Seeing Xue Ruitian nodded shyly, His Royal Highness Ning smiled slightly and said, "You There is nothing wrong with saying that, the old man has devoted his whole life to how to solve the current problems through the government office."

"Through the official office?" Jin Miaomiao frowned slightly, "The official office at that time had already colluded with those bandits and unscrupulous big businessmen, and it was just a fool's dream to want to solve the problems that the old man wanted to solve through the official office. !"

"That's what happened." His Royal Highness Ning sighed, "That's why I said that there is nothing wrong with Xiaotian thinking that way. His old man just wants to solve the problem through so-called normal means, but the channel he places his high hopes on has long been It's rotten."

"Is the old man unable to see clearly, or is he refusing to admit it?"

"This..." His Royal Highness Ning curled his lips, "According to the stories passed down from our family, the old man knew it in his heart, but he refused to admit it. It is wishful thinking that as long as the appeal is reasonable, the government cannot ignore it. Therefore, for those He won't listen to the saying that officials, bandits, and big merchants are in collusion and collusion, and he will lose his temper if he talks too much."

"Isn't this deceiving oneself?" Jin Miaomiao shook her head helplessly, "Won't my family persuade me?"

"Persuasion, but it's useless." His Royal Highness Ning spread his hands, "I know a lot about the ancestors, and you all know that I am not in good health. When I was young, I was with Xiaocha. Same, lying in bed recuperating every now and then, but this kind of life is boring, right?" She looked at Shen Cha with a smile, and Shen Cha nodded deeply, "What should I do if I'm bored? Family members, elders, and friends I was busy with my own affairs, and I couldn’t be with you all the time, so I had to find something to do by myself. There were a lot of old things in the palace before, and there were many such big boxes, but basically they were rarely opened. The little servant went to move here, and I read it when I have nothing to do. Brother Huang and the others don’t care, as long as I take a good rest, it doesn’t matter what I look at.”

"That's why His Highness knows many stories that others don't."

"Almost." His Highness King Ning looked at Shen Cha's probing gaze, then at Xue Ruitian's expectant face, and waved his hands, "I know what you want to ask, isn't it just that you have seen the Qinglian Sect?" The children nodded like chickens pecking at rice, and he shook his head, "Although I don't want to spoil your interest, I really haven't seen it. It's only after reading these letters today that I know that the ancestors had a relationship with Xue's family for a while. s contact."

"I remember." Shen Cha patted his forehead, "At the beginning, Qinglian Sect was not called Qinglian Sect, but it was changed to this name later, and I seem to have seen it somewhere However, the name was only changed after the first three families left." She sighed softly, "At this time, they have no intention of rebelling."

"They don't have ideas at this time, and what they have is bookishness." His Royal Highness Ning agreed with Shen Cha, "However, he did something that others dare not do, which seems ridiculous now. It’s a tragic and pitiful thing.”

"What is it?"

"Emperor Taizu once recorded in his personal letters that his grandfather had done crazy things, that is, to beat the Dengwen drum at the gate of the official yamen time and time again."

"Did the ancestor have fame at that time?"

"Yeah, it's because of his fame that he dared to do this. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to come back alive with the [-]th board who is as powerful as a horse." His Highness King Ning's expression was very helpless, but his eyes showed that he was interested in this man. The meaning of admiration from the ancestors, "He knocked on Dengwen Drum to uphold justice for the people, fight injustice for the people, and hope that the government can eradicate those guys who endanger the people, but failed again and again. More than that, Every time he hurt himself, he was on the verge of life and death."

"The old man has fame and fame, and the government office..."

"It's not the official office. It has nothing to do with the official office. It's the thugs sent by the bandits and those big merchants. They waited for the old man to walk out of the official office, far away from the official office, then tied him up and dragged him to a small secluded box to beat him up." His Royal Highness King Ning sighed, looked at the children in front of him, and at Ying Wu and Jin Miaomiao who came to him at some point, "Do you think it's incredible?"

"It was the same at the frontier in the early years." Shen Haolin sighed and patted Shen Cha on the shoulder, "When we first arrived here, the situation was not much better than what Uncle Wang described."

"En!" Shen Cha nodded, and then said, "Because of the constant wars here, the management is very chaotic. Before the Shen family army stationed here, it was a no-regret area. Liao and Jin regarded this place as a looting target. Basically, they don’t care much about things, and only play the role of reporting to the nearest Pei family’s resident in case of war.”

"The Pei family that was brought to justice because of repeated failures in the war?" Seeing Shen Cha nodding, His Highness King Ning chuckled, "It's more than that, isn't it?"

"Well, he has evidence of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, but he didn't make it public." Shen Cha glanced at Shen Haolin, "However, at that time, it was common for people to be trafficked, to pick quarrels and fight, even if it was murder. No one will make a fuss about setting fire, so..." She shrugged, "I don't think it's too strange what happened in the era of my ancestors. However, I vaguely remember that the Song family and the Xue family were both People from Yuezhou, right? Only the Shen family’s foundation is actually in Xijing City?”

"Yeah!" Shen Haolin nodded, "Yuezhou was the first one to raise rebellion that year, and the Shen family was already in Yuezhou at that time."

"It's not close from Xijing City to Yuezhou. Why?" Jin Miaomiao looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "Forced to leave home?"

"Basically, because I offended the powerful people at the time, I had to do this in order to save the lives of my family. But it turns out that such a choice is very wise and correct!"
