Qingfengling

Years, and there were only nine years in the Later Zhou Dynasty. Moreover, it is not uncommon for father and son, brothers, and adopted sons to kill each other in order to fight for power and profit.Not to mention the barrenness of the land in the Central Plains, to serve the Lord of the Khitan externally, but internally, they have to subsidize the military pay to prepare for war. "

The man said that he regretted that he died before his ambition was fulfilled, he was more regretful than he had lost his ancestral treasure, and then took a few puffs of hookah, his eyes suddenly shone brightly.

He continued, "But the south is different. Ever since Zhu Wen destroyed Tang, there have been Southern Tang and Wuyue in southern China. Leaving aside the former Shu and Later Shu, let's talk about Wuyue first. Until Qianjiao surrendered to the Song Dynasty, it took nearly In 90, the water conservancy in the south of the Yangtze River was good, the weather was smooth, the weather was smooth, the land was fertile, and the people with lofty ideals who came to defect to the Central Plains were also able to help the country. But this is the most important thing --- there is almost no war for decades, think again No matter who wins or loses in this war, it is a matter of life and money. For example, the Tang Dynasty at the time of Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty was not necessarily stronger than that of Emperor Sui Yang. .”

As he spoke, he took two more sips.

"This Wuyue is better than this Nantang..."

The person who answered the call had a honest and honest appearance, but with a bit of the elegance of a scholar, not as sharp-mouthed and monkey-cheeked as a smoker.

"This is what I'm going to say next. This Southern Tang Dynasty is even worse than Wuyue Kingdom. This Khitan has traded with Wu Kingdom (predecessor of Southern Tang Dynasty) more than 80 years ago." His hair was straight, but it was cleverly covered by the brim of his hat, "At that time, thousands of Khitan sheep and horses were sent to Jiangning City regardless of water or land."

The Jiangning city he mentioned is the current Shengzhou. It was called Jiangning in the Wu Kingdom, and it was changed to Jiangning in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and it was changed to Shengzhou in the Song Dynasty.

"Then, what are the Khitan pictures?"

The thin man's eyes were clear, and he waved his hands to bring him closer, as if he was about to say some important secret. He was very mysterious, and deliberately lowered his voice, "Fire oil!"

"Fire oil?"

"The Khitan has been at war with the Central Plains for a long time, and fire oil is the necessary military resource they are eager to ask for." After finishing speaking, he returned to a complacent look.

"Speaking of Khitan, let's see what this is?"

The thin man slowly took out a rigidly bound Lantuo book from his arms, and before anyone could answer, he couldn't wait to openly say, "You know the Khitan version of "Longkan Hand Mirror", and there was a book banned in the Liao Dynasty. , If someone dares to bring Khitan books into the Central Plains, he will be killed. I dare say, even the officials may not have such things." After speaking, he looked very unhappy.

"Who is so bold? Besides, you don't know Khitan."

"Whatever it is, good things are not easy to get. The Khitan people are still snapping up our books, paintings and so on! The current Liao Lord is very happy with our poems and words in the Song Dynasty. gone."

The man in the hat turned back to the topic solemnly, "Although Li Sheng, the ancestor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was extremely frugal, the two kings, Li Jing and Li Yu, were extremely extravagant! Hanging the night pearl, it is as bright as day, causing the foundation to rot, and the failure to grow."

The thin man tilted his mouth, with a disdainful expression on his face, he picked up his pipe and tapped the ash on the end of the pipe, "Even a wealthy family has thousands of households hidden in a secret room, let alone the emperor's family, how can you and I understand it?" !"

"Brother Wang is right," said the hat-wearing man with a look of sudden enlightenment. His face was still dark just now, but suddenly the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, and the spring breeze is gentle. It's just that the thin man only cares about his own pipe. Guan Ji hangs high.

Because the teahouse is located by the river and is also a ferry, there are many people coming and going. People passing by have different stories in their hearts, different emotions written on their faces, and different tiredness on their feet, just like The hibiscus flowers outside the fence are floating, shaking...but they haven't settled down! !

After a while, the second floor was also full of guests drinking tea and resting their feet. Everyone chatted, the tea in the cups was full of fragrance, and two tables circled by the window were playing cards.

There were four people sitting at the next table, and they also talked about the same topic with them, "Empress Li is fatuous and killed Lin Renzhao, Pan You and Li Ping. If he doesn't perish, whoever will perish." Wu Yue's secret color porcelain is famous all over the world. The successor is what people talk about after tea money and dinner.

"It is said that Li Yu has double pupils, Shun has four pupils, and he has three, so it must be half of Shun, but..."

"What's even more ridiculous is that back then the empress swore that if Jiangning City was destroyed, he would commit suicide and die for the country, but later on, he was even worse than King Zhou of Shang!"

The speaker is short in stature, with a scar that is neither deep nor shallow on his face, and a dark mole on his left cheek.

"He is weak by nature, and he only knows about wine and meat all day long. He writes 'books' and sings '□□flowers'. He is extremely extravagant. How can he have the courage and courage of a righteous man!"

"Brother Yitai's words are not false, but there are more important reasons for this." This person's hair is long and verdant, and his small ears sometimes appear and disappear.

"What's the reason?" The man with high hips sullenly said, "An emperor, since he is the Ninth Five-Year King, and he speaks the world, how can he make people laugh!!"

"Could it be that he doesn't want to part with Xiao Zhou?" The round-faced one hurriedly asked, laughing foolishly, but no matter how sincere the smile was, it was a bit fake.

The long-haired man shook his head, his round face was puzzled, and he was as unresponsive as Tuo Fat, "Then, why is that?"

"Treasure!" The long-haired man said calmly.

"Treasure?" The round-faced one and the high-hip one exclaimed tacitly like twin brothers.

"As soon as the Great Song Dynasty was established, the lord moved his capital to Nanchang Mansion, Hongzhou. On the surface, he wanted to avoid the influence of the Great Song Dynasty, but in fact, it was to transfer the treasure to hide the eyes and ears of others."

"There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that the reason why the emperor surrendered to the Song Dynasty was because he had a lot of treasures in his hands. As long as the time is right and there are trustworthy capable people, the restoration of the country will happen sooner or later." The scarred man deliberately lowered his voice.

"It's not completely unreasonable to say that. However, the Empress has gone..."

"Since the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty became a minister of the Later Zhou Dynasty, he paid tribute every year, tens of thousands of taels of gold and silverware, and tens of thousands of pieces of Saluo silk and satin. When the emperor descended, he took his family to the north. The luggage was nothing more than ancient calligraphy and paintings, and women's makeup and powder clothes. , but there is no gold and silver treasures," the others nodded thoughtfully, and received, "Even when he arrived in the capital, the Empress asked the Emperor Taizong many times to replenish supplies."

"That's not right! A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. After all, it's the lord of a country. This, this shouldn't be!" The round-faced feet didn't listen to their brains, and suddenly stood up, and the other three were stunned I was taken aback.

The high-hip one smoothed things over, "Brother Chen is always slow-witted! The general who broke Jiangning City back then almost turned the Western Capital and the Eastern Capital upside down. What happened? All in vain—nothing! Even the gold dust off the balustrades. Just think, if they found anything of value, they'd be raring about those scumbags!"

"Some people say that this treasure is mostly hidden on the road from the Western Capital to the Eastern Capital. Others say that the treasure is still in Jiangning City, and that moving the capital is just a cover, an illusion to confuse people." The scarred man spoke earnestly.

"It's all possible, but if you want to find the treasure, can you find all the suspicious places one by one? I think it's impossible even with Yugong Yishan's perseverance." Gao Hipbone couldn't help nodding.

"So, a smart person will look for clues. Think about it, the person who buried the treasure has created a riddle, and he must leave an answer for future generations." The long-haired old man smiled mysteriously.

The two people by the window sang together at first, and casually said that they suspected that there was a treasure in Nantang, but these four people were even more unusual, and they were all looking for a way to dig the treasure.So I just stretched out my ears to listen, but now they put on a show, the white-faced scholar raised his hat and stood up, ready to strike up a conversation, which made the thin man sitting opposite him dumbfounded, thinking that this kid is usually reticent, why? Will you take the initiative to talk to someone in this life? !

"Some people say that the answer to the riddle lies in a painting!" Unexpectedly, a bearded man at a table near the stairs said, the white-faced scholar was in a dilemma, so he had to stay where he was.

Everyone looked at him in unison. Now the situation in the south is stable. Since the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty, except for the bandits in the mountains, it is almost a scene of peace and prosperity. People's lives are so peaceful and gradually dull. At this time, they I will find various ways to dispel this dullness.Listening to music, listening to books, and listening to other people's chats are all good seasonings.Listening to stories is not only enjoyed by children, but also by adults and the elderly.

"Oh? I would like to hear more about it!" The long-haired old man stood up and cupped his hands.

At this time, whether it is relevant or seemingly irrelevant, chattering or silent, listen carefully or attentively, for fear of missing a word, the so-called "secret" has such charm.

"What kind of painting is it, tell me quickly!" Someone in the crowd urged, apparently believing what the bearded man said.

"Picture of the Banquet!" Now everyone was amazed.

"Han Xizai's night banquet picture? How is it possible?"

"What kind of secret can there be in a painting!" Some people doubted, "If you really know the secret, why did you tell it? You can keep it to yourself!" They don't believe that there is such a stupid person who talks about such a confidential matter. Yu Chouzhong.

"Although I am tall and powerful, my brain is not easy to use. The so-called crowds gather firewood and make flames tall, it is better than my own thinking! Besides, the treasure is very important.
