Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 614: Wisdom! Rare!
The pillars are made of white marble.

The pillar on the left is carved with a lifelike pattern of a dragon flying in the clouds.

The pillar on the right is carved with a pattern of a phoenix dancing in the sky.

Because they are underground and have never seen the sun and have not experienced wind and rain, these two pillars do not have any sense of vicissitudes.

White and clean.

Compared with the pillars of the Tang Dynasty Imperial Palace, it looks more grand and solemn.

The pillars of the Tang Dynasty Imperial Palace have turned gray due to wind and rain.

And this is inevitable.

After all, even in later generations, with so many methods to protect buildings, it is still impossible to avoid the corrosion of rain and the stickiness of dust.

Fatty Zhang walked up to a pillar, touched it gently, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Just this one pillar must have cost a lot of money."

“Who built this?”

“And when was it built?”

"I have read so many history books, but I have never heard of anyone building a palace like this underground."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "History books are written by victors and emperors."

"If they want to write it down, then it will be written down."

"But if they don't want to write, then the history books are of no use at all."

He said, "Let's go inside and take a look."

Shen Lian led everyone and walked directly into the palace.

As soon as they entered the palace, everyone was shocked by the luxury of the palace.

"This……"

"Crazy, crazy!"

"I feel as though I've been dreaming the whole time."

Hua Zhanchao and others couldn't help but exclaimed repeatedly.

I saw that the floor of the palace was paved with gold.

The whole ground was shining with golden light.

And the pillars supporting the dome are actually made of jade.

The jade is of pure texture and of top quality at first glance!
On each pillar, there is a night-shining pearl the size of a bowl hanging.

These night pearls emit a soft light, illuminating the underground palace as if it were daytime.

Fatty Zhang couldn't help but say, "This can't be true!"

He quickly squatted down and dug out a piece of gold from the ground.

He took a bite and almost cried: "Real gold, it's real gold!"

Even Wang Junyan, a master of tricks who had seen many storms, couldn't help but say at this moment: "Just this piece of gold is enough for us to live a worry-free life in this life."

"The entire palace, not to mention anything else, just the ground, the jade pillars, and the night-shining pearls, their value is so terrifying that I can't imagine how much it is worth."

"I think even the treasury of the Tang Dynasty might not be as valuable as this, right?"

Shen Lian nodded and said, "It's indeed not as good as here."

He had been to the national treasury and also to Li Shimin's small treasury.

And no matter which one, it can't compare to this place.

This is not a palace, it is an empire of wealth!

Shen Lian felt that the name of this palace could be called the Palace of Wealth.

Is this what my mother left for me?

My mother left me a fortune that is as rich as a country?
Shen Lian thought it was possible.

Although at the beginning, before he came here, he had considered whether his mother would leave him a pile of gold, silver and treasures.

But he quickly ruled it out because he felt that a female hero like his mother would not be so vulgar.

But after coming here, Shen Lian found it difficult to use the word "vulgar" to describe the money here.

When the amount of money is small, it is indeed vulgar.

But when the number of front desks reached a point where it was difficult to count.

Then I can’t even say the word “tacky”.

Shen Lian took a deep breath and said, "Check this palace to see if there is anything else besides these treasures."

Shen Lian felt that no matter whether this palace was left to him by his mother or not, his mother would definitely leave some clues to tell Shen Lian.

So, now he has to find the clues his mother left for him.

When everyone heard this, they naturally did not hesitate.

They quickly dispersed to check carefully.

Shen Lian, on the other hand, walked towards the highest throne, step by step.

He thought that the throne was the most special place in the palace.

If my mother left me a clue, could it be on the throne?
Shen Lian walked towards the throne on the high platform step by step.

Stepping onto the white marble steps, Shen Lian soon reached the platform.

This platform is located at the back of the main hall and is the highest place in the entire palace.

And the throne, which represents supreme power, is located on the high platform.

Shen Lian stood in front of the throne and looked towards it.

I saw that the throne was made of gold.

Shen Lian felt that the entire throne must weigh at least hundreds of kilograms of gold, so its value can be imagined.

The throne is wide enough that two people can sit side by side without feeling crowded.

On the armrests of the throne, there is a carving of an eight-clawed dragon.

The dragon flew around the handrail, riding on the clouds, as if it was carrying the throne into the sky.

Shen Lian's fingers lightly stroked the throne, and then he raised his hand.

I saw a layer of dust on my hands.

He felt a little emotional.

No matter how precious the throne is, it will become dull if no one sits on it.

Shen Lian gently swept away the dust on the throne and examined it carefully.

However, apart from its preciousness and luxury, there is nothing special about this throne.

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes.

However, he was not too surprised.

It would be strange if it was so easy to find what his mother gave him.

Although I have been separated from my mother for nearly twenty years.

But Shen Lian knew his mother's habits very well.

From the two paintings left by my mother and the eight-sided exquisite lock, it can be seen that my mother likes to give herself difficult problems the most.

Shen Lian smiled and sat down.

He didn't dislike his mother's habits, but liked them very much.

After all, a wise man like him likes guessing riddles the most.

If everything is clearly laid out in front of you, it would be less fun.

Sitting on the throne, Shen Lian’s first feeling was coldness.

The throne made of pure gold is so cold.

"What's so good about this throne?"

"Hard and cold."

Shen Lian complained.

He looked back, his hands on the armrests, his whole gaze overlooking the entire palace.

I have to say that the location of the throne is a very good choice.

Sitting on the throne, you can have a panoramic view of the entire palace.

What Hua Zhanchao and others were doing was completely within Shen Lian's sight.

A picture appeared in Shen Lian's mind.

An emperor, sitting on the throne.

Overlooking the civil and military officials.

Civil and military officials stood below trembling in fear. Every subtle expression and every movement of theirs, whether sincere or false, was noticed by the emperor!
The emperor knew everything but showed nothing.

He looked down at everyone calmly, as if he was looking down at an ant, and watched the life and death of each person with indifference.

Hold great power.

Life and death are determined by the mind.

Shen Lian exhaled slowly.

“No wonder everyone wants to be an emperor.”

"However, once you become an emperor, even if you can control the life and death of everyone, you are also completely trapped on the throne." "It is a sad thing to be trapped on a seat for the rest of your life."

Shen Lian stood up slowly.

He already knew where the things his mother left for him were.

The throne is like a prison.

And this confinement is not what my mother wants to see.

So, mother deliberately let him come here.

Shen Lian felt that it was probably to tell himself not to be confined by power.

Mother didn't talk about any profound principles with Shen Lian.

She just put all of this in front of Shen Lian.

Let Shen Lian come to this magnificent palace himself and see its splendor.

Go and feel the beauty of the throne.

Then, let Shen Lian understand that although the person sitting on the throne has power, he has also lost his freedom.

Imprisoned on this golden throne forever and ever.

Is this worth it?

Shen Lian walked down the platform step by step.

He knew that his mother didn't want him to be imprisoned by power.

Then, the things his mother left for him must not be on the platform or on the throne.

But it is in the place farthest from the throne!

Because, that's what mother wanted!
Don't be burdened by fame, wealth and power.

Be a free person!
Be a person who does whatever you want to do!
And in the entire palace, the place farthest from the throne is the freest place in the heart of Queen Beidou!

Therefore, the thing that Beidou Niangniang left for Shen Lian must be there!

Shen Lian walked down the platform and headed towards the other side.

If the entire palace is judged as a rectangle, then the points farthest from the platform must be the two farthest corners of the rectangle.

The platform is located slightly behind the center of the palace and on the symmetry line of the rectangular palace.

Therefore, Shen Lian needs to investigate two locations.

Opposite the throne, the two corners where the palace gate was extended, were Shen Lian’s target.

Shen Lian first walked towards the left front corner.

Stepping on the golden floor and looking at the figure reflected in the gold, Shen Lian smiled.

He felt that his mother must be a very interesting person.

She was able to think of this method to tell herself the truth of life instead of just talking about it.

This is enough to reflect the wisdom of my mother.

In this world, mothers have countless truths that they want to tell their children.

But some mothers can only give their children dry orders, telling them not to do this or that.

Little do people know that for some children with a strong sense of autonomy, this kind of commanding method will only cause them to rebel.

Ultimately, this may lead children further and further away from their desired goals.

But some mothers will use their love and wisdom to teach their children the truth of life in a way that their children can accept.

He will not interfere.

He will put the truth before the children, and he will not interfere too much whether the children are willing to accept his truth.

Often, children raised by such mothers will become closer and closer to each other, just as they wish.

My mother is the best among the latter.

However, Shen Lian felt that his mother seemed to have always been very confident in her IQ.

After all, only when the two pictures are put together can the secret scroll be discovered.

Or is it the meaning represented by this throne?

To see through it, you need a certain amount of wisdom.

Without sufficient wisdom, you will not be able to understand what Beidou Niangniang means.

He wondered why his mother was so confident in her wisdom?
Is it because mother is also very wise?

So, a wise mother believes that her child must be smart too?
Shen Lian suddenly remembered something.

Before, when he was in Nanzhao, he found Tianquan, his father.

From his father, he learned some things about the encounter between Beidou Niangniang and his father.

According to Dad.

My mother should be a woman who is full of heroism, sense of justice, and passion, but she does not have far-sighted vision and wisdom!
But now, the impression his mother gave him was that she was full of wisdom!

and so……

Shen Lian couldn't help but sigh.

"Dad, how many words of yours are credible?"

Originally, Shen Lian thought that, excluding the possibility that Beidou Niangniang liked his father and therefore had to follow him, that was the truth of the past.

But now, he found that the truth seemed very different.

What kind of lie did my father tell in order to maintain his image in front of me?

Shen Lian couldn't help but shook his head.

He felt that he needed to have a good chat with his father next time he saw him.

Tell dad not to slander his mother.

But when can I see my dad?
When he first met Yuheng, he forgot to ask about his father's condition.

If I have a chance in the future, I must find out where my father is.

Beichen hated his father even more than himself.

This also means that Dad is more dangerous than himself.

If there is a chance to help my dad, I have to help him too.

While thinking, Shen Lian came to the corner.

This palace is truly luxurious!

Even the corners of the wall are covered with gold bars.

This makes the corner sparkle with golden light.

Shen Lian looked at the corner carefully, and suddenly he laughed.

I saw that there was a place in the corner where there was no gold bar.

And there, it was filled with a piece of jade.

A gentleman should not be disturbed by power or money.

But a gentleman should be as gentle as jade.

To take away the gold and keep the jade is exactly what his mother hopes for him.

A gentleman with words, warm as jade.

Shen Lian touched the jade and found that the gold bar was cold, but the jade was very warm.

He smiled and pressed it gently.

Then the piece of jade fell down directly.

And behind the jade, there was a letter.

"found it."

Shen Lian smiled gently.

Shen Lian took the letter down.

He glanced at the envelope.

The envelope was pure white, with two lines of words written on it.

"To the best Shen Lian in the world."

And "If you are not Shen Lian, and you dare to read this letter, I will curse your ancestors for eight generations."

Two lines of words, written in beautiful handwriting.

Very clear.

Shen Lian didn't know what to say for a moment.

He could only say that his mother was still as tough as ever.

Shen Lian smiled, tore open the envelope and took out the letter inside.

He opened the letter and looked inside.

"My son, Xiao Lian."

"When you read this letter, it means you already know who your mother is. I am very happy that you can find this letter."
