Chapter 49 The Treasure of the Former Dynasty

"Your Majesty, don't worry! Please listen to me and say slowly!" Yan Zidan said slowly, "Your Majesty has heard of the mysterious treasures of the previous dynasty?"

"The treasure of the previous dynasty?" Chai Yi frowned slightly. He had never heard of this before. He shook his head and said, "No! I have never heard of it. What? Sir?"

Yan Zidan smiled slightly and said proudly: "To be honest with the prince, I do know something about this treasure. Heshen, an old thief, took away the people's wealth and ostracism, oppressed the people, and withheld the people's annual harvest, which made people's resentment and seriously affected people's livelihood. However, under his majesty, the people did not dare to rise up and resist. I don't know how many people were harmed by him. Although he was a scholar, he had also read books and understood some truths. In order to remove Heshen from power, he had been collecting evidence of Heshen's corruption in He's mansion."

"Ah? Then what evidence did you collect?" Chai Yi was overjoyed. He was able to convict Heshen by mastering the evidence. He didn't have much interest in that treasure. Isn't Heshen in front of him a treasure?

Yan Zidan shook his head slowly and said, "No. Heshen never left any flaws in his work. He spent three years in Hefu without any evidence. He found a clue not long ago. Just as he wanted to follow this clue, the emperor suddenly wanted to enthrone the vassal king and chose Qingzhou as the fief of the King of Qi. Heshen was ordered to build the royal palace. In order to save a lot of money, he changed the Hefu into your current royal palace. All clues were cut off here."

"What a pity." Chai Yi shook his head helplessly. He thought Yan Zi Dan had found it, but the answer was surprising.

Yan Zidan grinned and said, "Prince, please don't be disappointed! It's not over yet! Just as he was drooping and dejected, he accidentally learned about the treasure from Heshen. This guy is very ambitious and has been looking for the treasure. It is said that getting this treasure is like getting the world!"

"What?" Chai Yi was very surprised. This was too incredible, right? Even so, Chai Yi did not believe it all. He suppressed his inner excitement and said calmly: "Since getting the treasure is like getting the world, why do Mr. Yan tell me this? Don't tell me that you don't want to live in the world!"

Everyone has ambitions! It’s just big or small. Even if his ambition is small, does the temptation of treasure still arouse his ambitions? Chai Yi will definitely not believe it.

Yan Zidan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "What are you going to take to support the world? Is it like this?" As Yan Zidan grabbed his right arm sleeve and showed it to Chai Yi. Chai Yi was slightly surprised. It turned out that he had no right arm!

"You are..." Chai Yi never noticed that this guy has no right arm!

Yan Zidan lowered his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "This happened three years ago. In order to lurk to Heshen, he designed a bitter plan with his friend, that is, he lost his right arm at that time. Otherwise, Heshen's suspicious personality would not have left his home in Hefu."

"You mean..." Chai Yi's eyes glared slightly, afraid that Yan Zidan designed an assassination plot in order to gain Heshen's trust. He pretended to be a hero to save Heshen to gain Heshen's trust. This strategy was so vicious and even the smartest person would inevitably be fooled. Chai Yi couldn't help but give Yan Zidan a thumbs up. A scholar was so tough, he was really a hero with iron bones!

Yan Zidan nodded and said sternly: "Heshen is such a scheming man! If he doesn't do this, it will be even more difficult to see him. Moreover, even if the bitter plan is successful, he has not fully gained his trust. He can just stay in He Mansion and walk around freely!"

"Sir, endure humiliation and sacrifice his life for justice! I am really moved! Here I thank you for your efforts on behalf of the people of the world!" Chai Yi expressed his highest respect to Yanzidan with the highest etiquette.

Yan Zidan smiled and said, "The prince is serious. I have just done what I should do. Having said that, I wonder if the prince has any opinion on this treasure? I have heard of it. The prince has always been respectful to the wise and nobles, close to the people, and share worries for the people. At a young age, he has petitioned for the country and the people. I believe that the prince will definitely become a wise monarch with great talent and great achievements!"

Chai Yi waved his hand and smiled, "Mr. Yan is too awarded. Just as you said, I am just doing what he should do. I wonder if Mr. Yan can tell you what the treasure of the previous dynasty is like?"

Chai Yi has long been interested. Getting a treasure is like getting the world. You can imagine how much this treasure is worth. If you get this treasure, you can make high-quality weapons and armor. The soldiers don’t have to consider it at all. With Zhang Fei and Cheng Yaojin’s group of generals, if you have soldiers, you can operate the system to build your own soldiers. If you have a strategist, you can have a talented person like Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang.

Yan Zidan paused and said, "This is about to start with the founding emperor of the previous dynasty Li Minshun. The matter goes back to more than a hundred years ago. At that time, Li Minshun overthrew a corrupt dynasty and established his own dynasty Western Song Dynasty like a priest! In order to overthrow the tyrant Yuan, Li Minshun gathered a large sum of silver among the people to recruit soldiers and horses. The amount of silver is unknown, but what is known is that after overthrowing the tyrant Yuan's rule, a large sum of money was left, and the remaining silver was Li Minshun's treasure! Legend has it that it was buried in the Taishan area..."

Before Yan Zidan finished speaking, Chai Yi interrupted him directly and said, "If this treasure really exists, then the previous dynasty would not have been overthrown by the current emperor!" The previous dynasty's fallen emperor would not have thought of this treasure. If it really exists, he could dig out the treasure.

"No! No!" Yan Zidan shook his head slowly, "The prince's doubts are not wrong! Of course, the monarch of the previous dynasty would have thought that it was just a team of thousands of people he sent up the mountain to find treasures. Until Kyoto City was destroyed, it did not come back. This team of thousands of people was evaporated as if it had disappeared from the world. There was no one else who knew this secret except Heshen and the current emperor!"

"Your Majesty also knows?" Chai Yi was stunned when he heard this. Unexpectedly, Chai Lie also knew, but why didn't he send someone to search for him?

Yan Zidan Zheng pointed at it, "That's right! The emperor must know now! The great purge that happened in the first year of the Era is related to the treasure. Your Majesty brought a group of confidants to Mount Tai for Fengshan. It took a month. The prince carefully thought about whether Fengshan would take so long? A full month! A great purge broke out shortly after returning to the palace! Most of the civil and military officials in the court were imprisoned for the crime of rebellion and chopped their heads. These people were all ministers who followed the emperor to Mount Tai for Fengshan. Is there such a coincidence? Obviously not! I think the emperor must have gone to Mount Tai to find the treasure, but I don't know what he encountered on Mount Tai. After he came back, he killed so many people."

Chai Yi was a little frightened, yes! What happened? Why didn’t Chai Lie continue to look for treasure afterwards? Is there really something in the mountain? Thinking about it carefully, this matter is extremely terrifying!
