grandfather married

Chapter 42

In the Qianqing Hall of the Ming Palace, Emperor Qi Cheng looked at the four bright and clear sons in front of him, and showed a rare smile.

"I called you here today because I want to tell you something." Emperor Qi Cheng restrained his smile, "Do you know the story of the Holy Emperor?"

The Holy Emperor is Li Tiancheng, the founding emperor. As a child of the Daqi royal family, if anyone doesn't know the story of the Holy Emperor, the clan's family will not be polite. A charge of unfilial piety will not be tolerated even by the descendants of the emperor.

"The holy emperor is the destiny of the heavens. With the help of the heavens, the world will be unified, and the people will be peaceful and peaceful, and I will create the foundation of my Daqi forever."

The eldest prince Li Yang was the first to speak without hesitation, and what he said was also recorded in Qing History.

Emperor Qi Cheng was noncommittal, and asked again, "Then do you know the two princes who fought against the Holy Emperor?"

Li Ze, the fourth prince who has read poetry and books since he was a child and has a strong literati air, said, "Father is talking about Ji Ling of Hedong Ji family and Qi Guang of Hedong Qi family?"

Seeing Emperor Qi Cheng looking at him with satisfaction, Li Ze cheered up, and continued, "Hasn't the Hedong Qi clan been wiped out long ago, and now there is only the Hedong Ji clan lingering on its last legs."

He paused, with a look of admiration and disdain on his face, "It's also the kindness of the Holy Emperor who cared about Ji Ling's former reputation and supported the Ji family. The majesty and prestige of the family has not even had a Juren in decades, it is not as good as the general family of poetry and books, and it is said that it is a clan that has been passed down for hundreds of years."

This admiration is naturally towards the Holy Emperor, and disdain is towards the Ji family.

Among the other three princes, the second prince Li Gu was always taciturn and rarely expressed himself in front of his brothers, but the eldest prince Li Yang and the third prince Li Chong were different. Li Ze preempted their displeasure, and the two felt the same Li Ze disrespected his brother.

In front of the father, it should be me, the eldest brother, who should be the answer. Why do you, the youngest, steal the limelight?The eldest prince Li Yang thought so.

The eldest brother has spoken, so it should be my turn. As the youngest, how can you speak before me?The third prince Li Chong thought so.

"This is just superficial. Do you know why the Ji family can still stay in the capital even though it has fallen?"

Emperor Qi Cheng looked at his four sons meaningfully, "It's because the holy emperor's handbook left a statement that when Ji Ling competed in the Central Plains, most of the territories she conquered were wealthy lands, and before she died, she left all these wealth to For future generations, this sum of gold and silver is incomparably rich."

"The Ji family is so courageous! The whole world belongs to the royal family of Daqi, and the whole world belongs to the Daqi royal family. The Ji family actually embezzled my royal family's wealth. It is an unforgivable crime. It should be right to raid the family and destroy the family!"

The eldest prince Li Yang was filled with righteous indignation, with a strong anger on his face, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes, gold and silver that is incomparably rich?
It's so tempting.

He took two steps forward and bowed his hands to Emperor Qi Cheng, "Father, my sons and ministers invite you to take down these rebellious officials and thieves and their families, so as to share the worries of the father."

When ransacking the house, you can take a part of the gold and silver, and such a good thing can't be left to the younger brothers.

The third prince Li Chong rolled his eyes, and the fourth prince Li Ze had a sneer in his eyes. Even the second prince Li Gu, who has the weakest sense of existence, looked at Li Yang speechlessly at the moment, thinking that he might be pretending to be a fool. It is tofu flower.

Since the time when the Holy Emperor knew that Ji Ling had left such a large amount of wealth to his descendants, why did the members of the Ji clan still live till now?

Even the Holy Emperor wants to honor and support the Ji family. The Ji family's wealth is the secret of an enemy country. Emperors have passed it down from generation to generation. Why is this wealth still in the hands of the Ji family?
How did the big brother grow this brain?

The three princes thought in unison.

What's more, this money-hungry temperament really disgraces Daqi's royal family.

Emperor Qi Cheng was also speechless for a moment, why didn't he make a crown prince?

The reason is here.

With the brains of his eldest son, how dare he hand over Daqi to him?
The Qianqing Hall was silent for a while, Li Yang quickly sensed something was wrong, and glanced at the three younger brothers beside him out of the corner of his eye, seeing that there was no eagerness or approval on their faces, but expressionless faces, and secretly looked at his father The emperor, the same is true when he saw his father, he felt uneasy, what's going on, could it be that he was too eager to offend his father?
Li Yang's posture of clasped hands and fists was very stiff, and he couldn't move forward or retreat for a while.

Fortunately, Emperor Qi Cheng didn't want his eldest son to embarrass himself in front of his younger brothers, so he opened his mouth and said, "Yang'er, Ji Ling used to be a well-known vassal, and the Ji family was not guilty of treason."

Using this excuse is better than publicly saying that the eldest son is stupid.

Li Yang felt at ease, it turned out that he didn't agree with his method, and then he was disappointed, so Ji's wealth can't be obtained?

Emperor Qi Cheng simply didn't hold back, and told them why he called his four sons today, "Ji Ling put this gold and silver in a secret room designed by her. Send people to break through the barrier, but they have never heard from them."

The letter left by the Holy Emperor once stated that within 15 years after he took the throne, he sent four hundred shadow guards with high martial arts skills to break through the barrier. As a result, a total of 330 six people were killed before reaching the stone gate of the secret room. Those who secretly hid from the group of thugs also left their lives in the secret room, and no one went back to see him alive.

After 15 years of no results, the Holy Emperor did not send anyone to break through because he was immersed in the way of longevity in his later years.

Later, the successive emperors sent people to visit the ancestral land of the Ji family secretly. Few people were able to break into the secret room, and most of them died before reaching the Shimen.

The gang of thugs who killed the royal shadow guards have always made successive emperors fearful. Who are these thugs?Why don't people get close to the secret room?

Perhaps it was as the Holy Emperor had guessed: Ji Ling was a man with strange methods, and he might have left a secret guard to guard the secret room.

Because of the high martial arts skills of these thugs, they have been refusing to allow outsiders to break into the secret room for 200 years, and successive emperors dare not forcibly seize the Ji family.

What if you provoke this group of thugs and let them sneak into the palace at any cost and assassinate the emperor?
When Emperor Qi Cheng said that Ji Ling put the wealth in the secret room, and the royal shadow guards wanted to steal it secretly but there was no news, the second prince Li Gu, the third prince Li Chong, and the fourth prince Li Ze were thoughtful.

Only the eldest prince Li Yang's expression froze, he understood the meaning of his father's words, and then he also realized that his previous behavior was too stupid, obviously he did not expect the inside story.

He clenched his fists tightly, feeling angry in his heart, feeling that he had made a fool of himself in front of his three younger brothers and had damaged the dignity of his eldest son.

At the time when the three younger brothers are entering the imperial court, will the appearance just now make them challenge his status?

"I called you here to tell you that the eldest girl of the Ji family has successfully passed the barrier. She has the wealth left by Ji Ling in her hands. I am not afraid to tell you that the treasury is empty. If there is another natural disaster, the victims will not be able to be relieved." , I'm afraid it will shake my Daqi Wanli Jiangshan.

I have a task for you, who can make Miss Ji donate the wealth of the Ji family to the royal family, that is Da Qi's humerus pillar, I am Da Qi, without the humerus, there is no hope of passing on. "

As soon as Emperor Qi Cheng said this, the eyes of the four princes lit up!
