Chapter Thirty-Seven: Harvest in the Chamber of Secrets
No one would have thought that there would be a secret room in Yu Zeqing's study. Yu Zeqing was reported by his brother-in-law, so he was killed by Yang Jian. In this secret room in the house, his brother knew it well and the precious weapons he had collected were also included.
It was also copied out and became evidence of Yu Zeqing's rebellion.
Yang Yuanqing had heard his grandfather Yang Su say before that Yu Zeqing's biggest hobby was to collect precious weapons. The horse spear he collected alone was sometimes as many as ten, and he was killed because of his hobby.
After Yu Zeqing's death, the house was rewarded to King Yang Guang of Jin, and Yang Guang gave it to his eldest son Yang Zhao. Finally, Yang Zhao gave it to Yang Yuanqing, which had been empty for eight years: Yang Yuanqing and Niu Niu walked in with the old butler.
The outside study room was bright, covered with a thin layer of dust, and in front was a bookcase more than ten feet high.
"I haven't been here for three years. Last time the craftsmen renovated the house, I closed the doors and windows and refused to let them enter, for fear that they would find this secret room."
"Is the secret room right behind the bookcase?" Yang Yuanqing pointed to the bookcase and asked.
The old butler nodded: "This bookcase is actually the door of the secret room. Although I have been a butler for decades, I also knew that when the house was searched, I realized that there was a secret room behind me: "Often people's study room has an inner room to store some precious items,
Some families have a little more secret construction and use furniture such as bookcases to block it. The wealthy families have such a structure, but Yang Yuanqing discovered the characteristics of this secret room. The back of the bookcase should be close to the rockery behind the back. The so-called secret room is actually
It is to build it in a rockery, not to hollow out the rockery, but to build a stone house first and then cover it with a rockery. This is actually a very common method. "I'll do it!"
Niu Niu was curious and stepped forward to push the bookcase hard. However, the bookcase did not move at all. She was embarrassed and couldn't help but stomped her feet in hatred and said, "What kind of broken cabinet is this? My push has at least two or three hundred kilograms of strength, but it doesn't move at all,
Bullying me?"
The old butler laughed and said, "This bookcase is made of iron wood. It weighs a thousand pounds, so the old owner can't push it."
Niu Niu scratched her head and looked at Yang Yuanqing, "...Brother Yuanqing, why don't you try it!"
But Yang Yuanqing understood, he smiled slightly, walked up to open the cabinet door, searched on the inner wall for a moment, "Wow!", the inner wall slid to the left, and a door hole was revealed.
The old housekeeper stroked his beard and laughed, "...It's still the young master who is smart, he actually wants to publish it..."
Niu Niu's face suddenly turned red. She gritted her teeth with hatred. She reached out and pinched Yuan Qing's arm. This guy should be stupider than him. How could he have thought of it?
Let the air circulate and bright light sprinkle into the secret room. Seeing that the room was clean, Yang Yuanqing took Niu Niu's hand and walked into the secret room.
The secret room is not big, about one meter in size, the walls are snow-white, there are no windows, the air is very dry, and the inside is also empty, only a large wooden box is placed against the wall, with the lifting strips of Dali Temple and the seal is covered.
Taking the red official seal and looking at the length of the box, Yang Yuanqing knew that there should be no long weapons inside: "I guess I was searching my family members to stay on purpose, and wanted to take it quietly for myself, but for some reason, the person who searched the house did not end up.
Come on, I've been thrown here all the time."
The old housekeeper photographed the box. "If the young master likes it, he can open it. It has been eight years since then, and nothing should be wrong."
Yang Yuanji glanced at him and smiled, "What is inside? Have the old butler seen it?"
The old butler shook his head, "I will never touch the master's things."
"Brother 1 Yuanqing, let's open it and take a look!" Niu Niu couldn't wait, her eyes were bright and her face was full of expectation. If it was a good weapon, would she have one?
Yang Yuanqing nodded, pulled out the dagger from the boot, and gently picked up the seal. Eight years have passed, and the seal has dried up and it will fall off with a slight lift.
With a squeak, Yang Yuanqing opened the lid of the box. The first thing he saw was a dozen horizontal knives, all wrapped in good wool paper. The wool paper was yellow. He took out the horizontal knives one by one, and there were a total of ten.
Two of them, Yang Yuanqing pulled out the sword and sheathed it. He felt the cold air was extremely sharp and the blade was extremely sharp. It was different from the knife he usually saw. The knife was dark and there were thin and bright stripes on the surface of the knife, which was very sudden!
Yang Yuanqing suddenly realized that he heard from Combass that this was a horizontal knife made of Tianzhu Uz steel, made of the same material as the Damascus knife.
Yang Yuanqing drew out his sword, and his sword was also made of inlaid iron and was very sharp. After comparing it, he felt that his sword was still slightly inferior.
Yang Yuanqing Dazha understood a little. His knives should be ordinary crucible steel, while some knives are made of real Damascus steel, which is slightly different from the Uz steel produced in Tianzhu.
"Brother Yuanqing, there is a sword in it."
Niu Niu took out a sword from the wooden box. She pulled out the sword. The sword body was slender and made of Damascus steel. It was shining with cold light and extremely sharp. Niu Niu was extremely happy and pulled out two swords. The whole room was shining with sword light. She
He immediately smiled happily, put the sword in the sheath, and hugged it in his arms, "This sword is my return."
“If you like it, take it!
Yang Yuanqing smiled. At this time, he found that there was a big scoop inside. He slowly took out the big scoop about six feet long. Based on his intuition, this was also a three-stone scoop. The scoop was heavy and the shape was simple.
The back of the tent was inlaid with thin dark gold se metal wire, and the part of the hand was slightly worn, indicating that this tent had been used: the old butler standing beside him recognized this tent at a glance "Young Master, Baidu
The heroes in the world are updated. This is the guide used by the old master. I remember it is called Fenglei. The old master said that she has the sound of Fenglei."
Yang Yuanqing pulled a string in the air and stretched! A muffled sound, and a buzzing sound came back in the room. Sure enough, there was a sound of wind and thunder, which was very powerful, even more powerful than his original stimulus.
, and it was very easy to use. Yang Yun, Qing fell in love with this selves all at once.
He saw the word "Yu" on the inner wall of his back, and he laughed, "Tomorrow, I will think of another word "Yang"."
"Brother Yuanqing, give these twelve knives to Brother Qin and the others!" Niu Niu used a sword, but she didn't need these twelve knives, so she wanted to use them as a human being, Yang Yuanqing shook his head. "These twelve knives were not needed.
I will engrave my name on the knife and reward the meritorious generals in the future: "The three-day martial arts examination has ended. According to the process, the generals of the Ministry of War will summarize the results and initially determine the admission list, and then report it to Emperor Yang Guang for approval.
After the announcement is made, the admitted person can report directly to the Ministry of War.
This is just a public process, but the process under si is for each major examiner to copy one copy, first say hello to the favors of each place, then make some coordination and adjustments, and finally report to the emperor for approval, and then attach it later.
The results of the candidates.
As an emperor, he could only see high scores, but he didn't know what his real talent and knowledge was, and he had no way to investigate. This is the biggest difference from the literary exam. There are papers in the literary exam, which can be reviewed and reviewed.
It is hard to hide it, but this is entirely determined by the examiner's pen, and the emperor cannot re-examine it one by one, so there are big loopholes in it, so these examiners and those behind the scenes are so unscrupulous.
.
In Yuwen Shu's study, He Dong respectfully handed a list of admissions to Yuwen Shu.
"General, this is the final admission list!"
Yuwen Shu opened the folded booklet and put it on the table to expand it. It was filled with 500 admitted people. The front was the test number and the back was the name. He didn't care about the A list. He did not participate in the A list.
Both of his children were basically admitted. He was concerned about List B. He admitted a total of 200 people. He looked all the way and nodded. The people he arranged were basically admitted.
"I got to laugh.
"General, this time there are too many favors, and in the end, only a quota for candidates from other places is left. Is there anything wrong with it?"
He Dong also asked with some concern, but he did not expect that there would be so many favors this time. Not only Yuwen Shu, the Yuan family, the Dugu family, and Zhang Jin all had favors, but also examiners and their relatives and friends, and in the end they were all left.
He felt that the next nine places were to be fought for 1,6,700.
Yuwen Shu's face darkened and said with some worries: "Dr. He, you have to figure out one thing. This is not an imperial examination officer. This is a selection of imperial guards. You go to various court rooms to ask, how many people are following
This matter? This is just a small choice from the Ministry of War. How did you choose last year? Didn’t it all recommend it to each company? What’s the difference?”
"But this year it will be open recruitment for all prefectures and counties."
"That's just a gesture made by the emperor. Do you still take it seriously? When will poor children enter the forbidden area be guards and recruit so many people of unknown origins? How can the emperor protect the safety of the emperor? I will advise you to persuade you to do this.
Master, choose some good martial arts and put them into the local prefectures and counties. The martial arts will be over."
Yuwen Shu was a little impatient and waved his hand, "That's it! Report it directly to the emperor." At this time, Yuwen Zhiji, who was standing next to him, asked in a low voice: "Father, has that Qin Qiong been admitted?"
Yuwen Shu was suddenly raided, and Qin Qiong refused to be his fake, which made him lose face and must not give up this person. He found Qin Qiong on the admission list, and was ranked first. He taught him to raise him.
The pen cut Qin Qiong away and handed it to He Dong, "This person is not allowed to be admitted!"
He Dong was a little embarrassed, "But this person's martial arts skills are indeed very powerful, and Yang Taipu admired him very much."
"Is it good to be good at martial arts? I also need to be virtuous. This person's virtue is too bad and will be unfavorable to the safety of the emperor in the future. You can add another sentence after his exam and tease the girl drunk."
He Dong had no choice but to agree, "Okay! I'll change another person, that's the humble position."
Yuwen Shu suddenly remembered something again and asked, "What's that? By the way, I'm called Sui Guangyang. Has this person been admitted?"
He Dong nodded, "I've been admitted, and according to the general's instructions, I'll be ranked eighth. The top ten can be awarded official positions in the army."
Yuwen Shu was stunned. He glared at his son with anger, "How did I explain to you?"
Yuwen Zhiji lowered his head guiltily and said no, He Dong was extremely impressed by this person and had never seen him before. He was admitted to an official, so it would be better to take him away. He hurriedly asked Yuwen Shu, "Big."
General, does this person need not be admitted?"
Yuwen Shu glared at her son again. Although her son made the decision without authorization, since he had been admitted to an official, for the sake of 300 taels of gold, he would forget it this time.
"It's nothing, I'm just worried that you won't be admitted, that's it! Remove that Qin Qiong and replace him with another person can be reported to the emperor."!
