Chapter 312 The foundation of the nation
Wen Yao was speechless about these stupid words.
I didn't know whether to blame Mo Dongliu for a moment, but I vaguely felt that what he said was probably true.
"You don't know what to do to seize it?"
Hearing this, the old emperor looked at Mo Dongliu with a little more alert: "Do you also have a military book?"
Mo Dongliu knew that it seemed that this matter could not be hidden from the public anymore, so he nodded and took out two military books from his clothes inside.
Of course, such an important thing must be kept by your side, so the ones placed on the table at this time are three treasures that are enough to shock the servants today.
The old emperor was stunned by this: "It has been more than twenty years since the military book was lost, but he did not expect to be displaced to the Northern Song Dynasty."
He turned his head and stared at Mo Dongliu seriously: "How did these two books come from?"
Mo Dongliu pointed to one of the books: "This one is in the Northern Song Dynasty Palace, the other one..."
He paused, his tone hesitated: "I picked it up by accident."
The emperor was stunned: "Can this thing be picked up at will?"
Mo Dongliu nodded, and he recalled: "It's inside the ruins of Xuyang Courtyard, when Lu Qinghan had not had time to move in."
Wen Yao was stunned: "Xuyang Courtyard... Could it be that this object has something to do with the Xuyang Courtyard being destroyed more than ten years ago?"
He said: "It's very likely."
Wen Yao couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and many clues passed through his mind in an instant.
Mo Dongliu's words seemed to clear away the fog in front of Wen Yao's eyes: "I guess Lu Qinghan is the lord of the military books, otherwise he would not have to put the general's mansion in the original after returning to the capital.
In Xuyang Courtyard."
Wen Yao shook his head slightly: "He said that he just wanted to take care of the child who was originally alive."
Mo Dongliu smiled: "Do you believe his words so much? You may also want to investigate who took the military book. After all, that military book was something his mother exchanged for with her life."
Wen Yao's mind was a little confused, but what Mo Dongliu said made sense.
But how could Lu Qinghan think so extreme? After being together for so long, Wen Yao still thought he had understood some of his character.
"I believe Brother Lu won't do that."
Mo Dongliu's eyes became a little darker, and he was obviously in a bad mood. He felt something unknown sour smell appeared in his heart, which made him feel a little more irritable.
But in the end, he did not blame Wen Yao: "I said this, but I was just a guess."
Seeing him lowering his head, Wen Yao looked depressed, and withdrew his thoughts and chuckled: "The prince's words also make sense. I will pay attention to the guardianship."
Mo Dongliu received such an answer, and the gloom on his face gradually disappeared: "This is almost the same."
When the old emperor saw these two people muttering here, he didn't know what they were saying, and completely left him aside. He couldn't help but cough while covering the corners of his lips, trying to attract the attention of both of them: "No matter what,"
, There have been three of these military books."
The old eyes flashed with a bright light, and the emperor was obviously very happy: "Yao'er, my grandfather gave you a task that you could not do. If you have the ability, I hope you can find the other two and bring the five military books back together."
"Is this thing so important? Although the above words are awkward, I can read them all in one book."
When the old emperor heard this, his eyes were full of praise: "Grandpa knew that my Yaoer was powerful, but in fact, although this military strategy was profound, its real use was not high. The biggest secret of these five military books is that it was hidden inside.
The location of dozens of mine veins."
"What?"
Wen Yao couldn't help but exclaim, and even Mo Dongliu couldn't help but clench his fists.
Even though he had known that this military book was extraordinary, even the Beiming family was trying every means to get this thing.
So that's it. Where do dozens of mineral veins, gold, silver, and iron and stone tools come from? The answer is naturally the mineral veins. This is the root and foundation of a country.
In the entire Northern Song Dynasty, there were only two ore veins on the surface, and there were only a few of them under hundreds of years of mining. It can be seen how large the number of dozens of them were and how high the value was.
It is not impossible to master this thing, let alone establish a country, even if you unify the world.
And this is actually a secret hidden in Xixia for so many years. The reason why Xia Lanshan hid the contents in it back then was that she was afraid that the world would be turbulent.
The truth came so suddenly that Wen Yao was a little uneasy.
"Does, since you and my mother know the secret, why not just discover it earlier?"
The old emperor shook his head: "Yao'er, I know your thoughts, but the national strength of Xixia is weak. Even if it has a hundred years of savings, it is a drop in the bucket. Otherwise, he would not have been able to survive with the Northern Song Dynasty in recent years. The person who solved the secret is your mother.
, And after your mother learned the truth about the military book, she knew that something was wrong. If it was spread, Xixia might be completely safe."
"But it's better to spread it." Wen Yao's voice was slightly lowered, his eyes were thinking.
When the old emperor heard this, he sighed: "Hey, who knew that the maid next to Lanshan had a spy and told Jin Xun and Si Feng the news. They were already important officials in the court at that time, and the Jin family had been for many years.
Arrogant and domineering, coupled with the soldiers in hand, I forced me to marry my daughter to him..."
Wen Yao's heart became cold and the anger in his eyes became deeper.
Jin Xun actually had such a sin and even had the idea of her mother.
"At that time, the Thunder Army in my hands was obviously no longer able to confront the hundreds of thousands of troops in Jin Xun's hands. I made a quick decision and asked them to escort your mother to dowry the Northern Song Dynasty. The emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty would certainly not refuse the marriage between the two countries when he learned about this, so Jin
Even if Xun was anxious, he didn't dare to say anything more. He only arranged for someone to intercept him..."
The anger in Wen Yao's eyes was rolling: "So, the loss of 40,000 Thunder Army at once was caused by that time?"
A sad look flashed through the old emperor's eyes: "Yes."
She probably understood a lot about the military books, and also knew the helplessness of her mother marrying into the Northern Song Dynasty.
She would never let Jin Xun go, the culprit: "Since you know, why not kill Jin Xun?"
The old emperor smiled bitterly: "Jin Xun has a cruel personality. If he cannot kill him directly, the consequences will be unimaginable. I still have countless people in Xixia behind me. I dare not bet on this."
Wen Yao was in a complicated mood. She believed what the emperor said, but she felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Is family affection so unimportant in your eyes? Even if you are so hesitant to avenge your daughter?"
It may also be because she is born unsuitable to be a rational leader. Wen Yao's dissatisfaction is extremely strong. She is like this. She doesn't know much love. She only knows who dares to hurt the person she cares about and bully her.
, then revenge heavily.
After a while, there was no voice to answer. Wen Yao looked up and saw the old emperor lowering his head, his eyes were extremely red and turbid.
"I'm incompetent."
His voice seemed like weeping blood, his eyes widened, the blue veins on his neck were trembling slightly, and his expression was extremely angry.
In a moment, he suddenly covered his chest and vomited blood. The blood was pitch black and smelled a foul smell.
Seeing this, the old man standing beside him hurriedly stepped forward to help the old emperor wipe it, looking worried: "Your Majesty, don't get angry casually. The imperial physician said that if you are angry again, it will easily cause your life worry!"
He looked at Wen Yao with a pleading look: "Your Highness, the emperor is in bad health, so you can say less and forgive him."
The old man knelt on the ground with a thud, his expression full of sad requests. Wen Yao moved the corners of his lips and felt that he had done something bad.
But she was right: "I took over the task assigned to me by the emperor. I will get the other two military books as much as possible, and... I will do what you can't do."
She said this with a firm expression, then stared at the old emperor's eyes: "The emperor and I will go to Beiming's house in a month, so we will only stay here for a few days. I can't see Jin Xun, but I can
Help the emperor get Si Feng."
Jin Xun is far away from the border, and it will take some time to come back. She has short hands and can't reach it, but it may not be necessary to come back next time.
After hearing this, the old emperor didn't say much: "Si Feng was an existence that I intended to cultivate and compete with Jin Xun. As long as he was still in the capital for one day, he would not dare to disobey my opinions on the surface."
Wen Yao was a little surprised: "Si Feng is not so obedient."
"I still have some methods of controlling people, so he only dares to inspire people behind his back."
It turns out that all this is under the control of the old emperor.
This behind-the-scenes person who is hidden in the deep palace in Xixia would not have been as gentle and kind as it seems, otherwise he would have been eaten without any bones.
Twenty years have passed, and his status is still the same. No matter how the court changes, the palace is still good.
As the old emperor thought about it, he finally smiled a little: "Old Xu, go call Xia Qing and Xia Yi."
Mr. Xu was a little surprised: "Are you..."
"I can only feel at ease if these two people protect Yao'er."
Seeing that the old emperor had made up his mind, the old man turned around and wanted to find someone. Mo Dongliu noticed something and immediately stopped him: "It's better to keep it and protect the emperor."
Xia Sheng smiled: "I have not much intimidation to these people with this old bone. Besides these two, there are many martial arts servants around you. With these two people following you, you can also relax.
What's more, everything is in case. I do this and want to minimize the risk."
These words touched Mo Dongliu. If he needed to deal with anything he was not by Wen Yao's side, those secret guards with not very high martial arts might be really useless.
Seeing these two people treating her as a fragile vase, Wen Yao was somewhat dissatisfied: "It's so easy to kill me, what's the use of just having these two bodyguards?"
Mr. Xu didn't listen and brought the two of them over. Wen Yao looked closely and found that Xia Qing and Xia Yi were women.
The old emperor said: "Considering that it is not convenient for a man to take care of you, how can there be no maid who can serve you in person when traveling far away? These two people are extremely skilled in martial arts, and most importantly, they are absolutely loyal."
