Chapter 37 Three Clues

"Taicheng" is the reign name of the David Dynasty, and the reign name is determined according to the emperor's personal interests. Some emperors who have been in power for a long time are afraid of trouble all their lives, so they use such a reign name.

Some emperors believed in this claim, even if they only lived twenty or thirty years old, they could still come up with four or five reign titles.

If you want to know all the era names well, you will really be considered a top scholar of the generation. However, Lin Fengjin still knows the era name of Taicheng because it is very close in time. Let's put it this way, it is Prince Wu Qian Zhen's father.

One of the used year numbers, so although this pen is considered an antique, it is not very valuable. One hundred taels of silver is worth the weight of the sky. What qualifications does it have to put it here?

The last thing Lin Fengjin looked at was a volume placed next to him. This volume seemed to be quite old, with a lot of parts torn off. Lin Fengjin opened it and saw the name of the volume.

It's called: Donghua Gate Entry and Exit Rules. What is recorded on it is the person's name, date, and the general format is the same. A certain person (name) entered the palace at a certain time and left the palace at a certain time (signature and stamp).

As someone who has been dealing with this kind of documents for a long time, Lin Fengjin is no stranger to this stuff. This is a registration book for palace access control. The date on it is November of the fifth year of David Fengchang.

Apart from this, there is nothing on the table. Of course, it is worth mentioning that when Lin Fengjin sat down, the newly printed Yi Jing in front of him was opened, and it happened to be ""

"Easy to do" this page:

"On the 9th, the flying dragon is in the sky, which will help you meet your master."

Lin Fengjin pondered for a while. It was obvious that the things on the table were the answers that Tian Xiangzi wanted to leave for him. However, he still had to solve the answers by himself. After thinking hard for a while, he still felt that there were not enough clues.

Fortunately, there is still a very obvious breakthrough at this time. That is the first step, to understand what happened at this critical time point in November of David Fengchang's fifth year!

Lin Fengjin remembered clearly that the title Fengchang was the first title used by Emperor Wei Lie, the last emperor of the David Dynasty! Because when Emperor Wei Lie came to the throne, there were floods and locust plagues, and the

There have always been voices among the people, saying that he got the throne improperly, that his father borrowed the throne, and that he actually stole the throne from his uncle, Prince Wu Qian Zhen. This disaster is a warning from God.

Therefore, Emperor Wei Lie personally chose this year title at that time, and of course he hoped that the country would be prosperous and have good harvests every year.

But Lin Fengjin only knew this, so he needed information now, and sitting here obviously couldn't get any information, so Lin Fengjin took a deep look at the secret room again and analyzed the various patterns.

, the location was memorized, and then he put away the three things placed on the table and left this secret room. Needless to say, he went straight to Donglin Academy!

The era of Emperor Wei Lie was not that far away from now, so the various records in the academy can be said to be quite complete and detailed, and a group of people in the academy are compiling "History of Wei", and what they have collected is even more amazing, Lin Fengjin

Even the effort of searching is saved, not to mention that one of Mr. Yangming's disciples, Senior Brother Zhou Dingzhou, is doing this. The relationship between senior brothers must be much closer than outsiders.

If Lin Fengjin went to ask someone for help, it would be rude not to give him a gift. But if he went to Senior Brother Zhou for help, it would be rude to give him an expensive gift. Although it was a bit abrupt for Wei Ye to go there at this time, he was in the same sect.

It's a trivial matter between senior brothers.

Although Senior Brother Zhou Dingzhou is a scholar, he has a big beard, a burly figure, and a good figure for a military general. He looks a bit nondescript in a scholar's gown, but in terms of textual research, epigraphy and stone

His attainments were extremely profound. Lin Fengjin knew that he was fond of drinking, so he simply brought two high-quality daughters to him.

As a result, when Lin Fengjin arrived outside his residence, he was pleasantly surprised to find that although it was past midnight (one o'clock in the middle of the night), the window on Senior Brother Zhou's side was still lit. In this way, it would be easier to deal with not sleeping.

It's never a pleasant thing to wake someone up from their sleep.

After the two met and exchanged pleasantries, Lin Fengjin directly talked about the reason for coming, saying that he currently had a difficult problem and needed to understand something, and wanted to ask his senior brother to help him solve the problem. Senior Brother Zhou laughed and said that it was his duty.

The alcohol bug happened to break out in my stomach, so I just wanted my junior brother to drink with me. The two of them peeled peanuts with their hands and drank, creating a lively atmosphere.

In the blink of an eye, after three drinks, Lin Fengjin directly asked the question in his mind:

"Senior brother, I wonder what major events happened in the fifth year of Fengchang? Well, it should be related to the capital and the imperial palace."

Zhou Ding was stunned after hearing this and said:

"In the fifth year of Fengchang? Is it related to the imperial palace of the capital? The first major event was naturally that He Pingzhou was dismissed because he was involved in the examination fraud case. Well, the next step was an unsolved case in the capital. Now

None of them have been solved, that is, nine people have disappeared in a row. The identities, genders, ages, and social status of these nine people are all different. Among them, the noble ones include the son of the county prince, and the lowly ones even include a Lu family who pours night fragrance.

The only thing these nine people have in common is that they were all born on the third day of the first lunar month."

Having said this, Zhou Ding drank another glass, then breathed out a breath of alcohol and laughed:

"Junior brother is really serious. This Zhuangyuanhong is at least twenty years old. Let me think about it again. In the fifth year of Fengchang, in the fifth year of Fengchang, are you sure that everything will be counted? Even if there is no historical evidence, it will be counted?"

Lin Fengjin said with certainty:

"Of course, as long as the rumors are widespread, even anecdotes will count."

Zhou Dingdao:

"I read this from a county chronicle and the songs and poems of many literati at that time. It said that at the end of November, there was a heavy rain, lightning, and thunder. It was said that a real dragon was born, and some people saw the dragon flying across the sky.

Traveling among the lightning, Lulin County recorded that someone picked up a piece of dragon scale, which was in the shape of a full moon, had a spicy and pungent aroma, and shone with golden light. It was later confiscated. However, this matter seemed to have been scolded and criticized by the imperial court.

The ban was said to be misleading, and the person who picked up the dragon scale was executed. I also visited the descendants and neighbors of that person to prove that this was the case."

When Lin Fengjin heard the key word "November", his heart immediately "thumped", and he immediately paid attention. After listening to Zhou Ding's words, he frowned and said:

"The birth of a real dragon is a great auspicious sign. Why would the court denounce it as a monstrous talk to deceive the public?"

Zhou Ding took another sip of wine and said:

"At that time, Emperor Wei Lie was seriously ill and the government was in turmoil. It was only thanks to Wei Quan, the Prime Minister of the Left at that time, that he was able to survive. It is better to be still than to move. Emperor Wei Lie had been on the throne for several years, and this real dragon was born.

There is not much auspiciousness, but there is still a lot of auspiciousness without it! If someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of it, things will be very serious, but don't forget that there is also Prince Wu Qian Zhen watching covetously."

"What's more, everyone knows that auspicious things are presented to flatter the emperor. However, Wei Quan was in charge of the government at that time, so naturally it had no appeal to him. In addition, the disadvantages were also quite serious, so it was banned.

It’s also a very natural thing.”

Lin Fengjin felt that the reason Zhou Ding said was reasonable, but it was still worthy of scrutiny. Moreover, this incident happened at the critical node of November, so of course it must be recorded.

"Huh?" Lin Fengjin recalled what Zhou Ding said, and suddenly thought: "By the way, Senior Brother Zhou, did you just say that Emperor Wei Lie was seriously ill?"

"Right?" Zhou Ding said normally.

"According to historical records, Emperor Wei Lie was said to have had a serious illness in his womb since he was a child. His body was very weak and he had been coughing since he was a child. After he ascended the throne, he became diligent in his duties, so his condition was good and bad.

They have never been cured. Even if the disease can be temporarily suppressed in summer and autumn, when the weather gets cooler in winter, the cough will not stop."

"In the fifth year of Fengchang, it is said that Emperor Wei Lie had a cough again just after autumn turned into August, and then he started coughing up blood in October. At that time, everyone in the court thought that he would not be able to survive this time.

, the courtiers have begun to faintly split, one group advocates the establishment of the crown prince Wei Liedi, and the other group supports Prince Wu Qian Zhen."

"However, Emperor Wei Lie's condition suddenly improved in December. He could eat and drink quickly, review memorials in two days, and go to the palace in five days. He quickly recovered from his illness.

The current domestic situation has been stabilized. Although this situation is very rare, it is definitely not unheard of. After the beginning of the new year, Emperor Wei Lie changed the name of Fengchang to Jingyuan. Even now, everyone has

There are also different opinions on the name of the reign of Jingyuan, and there is no definite explanation. It can only be definitely related to the turn of Emperor Wei Lie's serious illness."
