Don't pretend, anchor, I've seen you touch the golden talisman!

Chapter 453

"It is said that after the fall of the Wu and Zhou regime, Emperor Kangxi sent people to Yunnan, Hunan and Guizhou several times to search for his tomb, with the purpose of finding the 'Wu Zhou Secret Treasure'."

"Secret treasure?"

When the keyword was triggered, Wang Qiang's head made a "ding" sound, his eyes widened, and he immediately came over.

"What secret treasure? Expand and tell me."

"Actually, it's not a secret. When Wu Sangui received the title of 'Pingxi King' of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he commanded various ministries in the southwest and plundered countless people's wealth. Not only did he not have to pay taxes to the court, but he also had to pay regular taxes every year starting from Emperor Shunzhi." San Francisco allocated a certain amount of salary from the national treasury.

According to historical records, Wu Sangui alone plundered 900 million taels of silver from the Qing court every year. Calculate how much money this old boy had to save over the years from Shunzhi to Kangxi when he pacified the Three Feuds? "

"Nine million a year, two, and silver? That's a lot of money!"

Wang Qiang almost said this through gritted teeth.

"Isn't it true? Emperor Kangxi searched everywhere for talented people and strangers, just to find Wu Sangui's mausoleum. It is said that he searched all over Hunan, Yunnan and Guizhou, but returned without success.

It wasn't until the Qianlong period that the authorities finally stopped.Later, no one mentioned this matter again. Wu Sangui's mausoleum and Li Zicheng's mausoleum also became two major worries of the Qing court. Until the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, their locations could not be found. "

"Then didn't this happen to us? This is called luck! As the saying goes, time is also fate and luck, both are indispensable!"

Wang Qiang was showing off proudly, but Lin Yi came up with a new idea:
"If I remember correctly, the person who took back Emperor Zhu Youlang of Nanming from the hands of King Mangbai of Burma was Wu Sangui, right?"

"That's definitely true. What if he comes back? Shouldn't he be strangled to death with a bowstring? Wu Sangui was already a member of the Qing court at that time. This man has been double-dealing and wavering all his life. After he became emperor, he still had He proclaimed himself the 'General of the Xingming Dynasty and defeated the prisoners'."

When Qian Sheng said this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Yi.

"Brother, do you mean that the piece of 'Qingzhou Ding' that was taken away by Li Dingguo and presented to Emperor Yongli might end up in Wu Sangui's hands?"

"I think this possibility is very high! Think about it, since Li Dingguo voted for Nan Ming, it means that he is not a careerist like Zhang Xianzhong. Judging from his performance after surrendering to Nan Ming, it also shows that he is indeed loyal to Nan Ming and has no ambiguity.

What's more, we have already visited the tomb of King Mangbai of Burma and did not find the fragment.Even using the elimination method, the possibility of this thing existing in Wu Sangui's tomb is very high. "

"Then we're really going to do it this time! What are we waiting for?"

Wang Qiang's eyes were shining, and he wished he could get into Wu Sangui's tomb immediately and knock out his bucket.

Captain Qiao came up and patted him on the shoulder, which frightened him.

My brain returned to normal instantly.

I almost forgot, there is a policeman following us!

"Consultant Lin, what problem do you see?"

Lin Yi pointed to the four-sided monument in front of him: "We have now tentatively concluded that this mausoleum is Wu Sangui's mausoleum."

"Wu Sangui? Is this the 'Pingxi King' Wu Sangui?"

"Yes."

"I didn't expect that we would get something unexpected when we came out this time? This must at least be considered a major archaeological discovery, right?"

After Captain Qiao finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and spoke again:

"Hey, Consultant Lin, if this is Wu Sangui's tomb, then it doesn't match the name of the 'Xuanchu' Taoist priest you mentioned before? That person was from the late Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty, and Wu Sangui belonged to the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. That's wrong. Hundreds of years!"

This sentence suddenly reminded Lin Yi.

Yes, I have always speculated that this is probably the tomb of Zhu Yunwen. Now it is basically certain that the owner of this underground palace is Wu Sangui. From this point of view, the person signed "Xuanchu" must not be the person who carried out the cloud cloth in Jinling City back then. Yu's "Xuanchu Taoist".As Team Qiao said, the span of time is really too big.

"It was him!"

Lin Yi suddenly remembered someone.

"Who is it?"

"Wu Sangui's counselor, Liu Xuanchu."

"Liu Xuanchu, hey, you said he was named this. Can he still be related to Liu Bei? It's just one word missing."

Qian Sheng reacted immediately.

"Are you talking about Liu Maoxia?"

Lin Yi nodded.

"Oops, why did I completely forget about this person? Liu Maoxia, whose pseudonym is Xuanchu. I should have guessed it was him. This man first joined Li Dingguo as a secret servant, and was later promoted to Zhongshu. A clerk in charge of paperwork.

Later, during the battle of Fenghuang Mountain, he got separated from Li Dingguo. Later, he was captured by Wu Sangui and reused. Later, he became the number one counselor in Wu Sangui's account.

According to "Guangyang Miscellaneous Notes", when Wu Sangui rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, he fought all the way to the border of Jingzhou. The Qing army guarding Jingzhou at that time was at the end of its strength and frightened, and could not stop the Wu and Zhou army's offensive.

At that time, Wu Sangui wanted to negotiate peace with the Qing court and divide the river to rule. Liu Xuanchu was the first to stand up and object, asking him to pursue the victory and attack Huanglong. Wu Sangui did not adopt his suggestion and allowed the Qing court to take advantage of the negotiation opportunity to delay the war for a while. He quickly mobilized elite soldiers and generals from all over the country to counterattack Wu Sangui, and finally reversed the decline, and the "Three Feudatories Rebellion" was put down. "

"If you say that, then everything is correct!"

"What's right?"

Captain Qiao said doubtfully from the side.

Seeing that they had reached the key point, Bai Lu immediately helped them cover up: "Team Qiao, come and take a look, there seems to be something going on here!"

"Okay, here we come!"

Team Qiao put aside his curiosity and walked over quickly.

Bai Lu winked at them and asked them to explain the matter clearly as soon as possible.

"To make a long story short, the person we have been looking for before, the person who took the "Book of Three Worlds" from Yuan Gong's tomb and designed the underground palace mausoleum for Zhang Xianzhong, is Liu Xuanchu!

And this Wu Sangui's mausoleum must have been made by him! "

Speaking of this, Wang Qiang and Qian Sheng couldn't help but feel numb.

Thinking of the underground palace hidden at the bottom of the well in Puzhao Temple, bad memories came to mind again.

It now appears that Liu Xuanchu's abilities were indeed limited when he first followed Li Dingguo. It may have been the "Book of Three Worlds" left by Mr. Yuan that made him instantly enlightened and his abilities greatly improved.

He transformed from a secretary to Wu Sangui's number one strategist, almost rewriting history.

Now for Lin Yi and the others, the most important issue is not just finding the whereabouts of Qin Renqian and the fragment of the "Qingzhou Cauldron", but whether they can get out alive.

Because the mechanisms encountered at the bottom of the well of Puzhao Temple and the underwater passage of the Minjiang River were only elementary versions of Liu Xuanchu that had not fully "evolved".

This tomb of Wu Sangui is most likely his final work, which is also the culmination of the important contents he learned from the "Book of Three Worlds".
