"In the 13th year of Dingwu, on May 17, King Li Yuanlu of Beicheng rebelled and brought more than 100,000 Northwest defenders to rebel, and seized six cities in the northwest. The news soon came back to Kyoto. The emperor was furious and wanted to send troops to encircle and suppress them. On June 12, General Jiang Zhan, the general of the Zhenguo, joined forces with 50,000 Northwest Defense Army to launch a counterattack. On June 25, the Northwest Army recaptured the six cities in the northwest, forcing King Li Yuanlu of Beicheng to retreat to Yingzhou. On July 5, Jiang Zhan turned against him, and the 80,000 Northwest Defense Army was killed by him.

In the end, only 20,000 troops were left; on July 13, the late emperor sent 300,000 troops to break through the northwest for more than a month, and recovered the lost land; on September 15, the late emperor ordered the King of Beicheng Li Yuanlu to be forgiven and executed on the spot. Jiang Zhan escorted back to Beijing, but the command was delayed on the way. On September 23, the King of Beicheng and Jiang Zhan had all been executed, and the remaining disarmed soldiers were all executed the next day." Tang Ji murmured the contents of the bamboo slips with the light by the window.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and frowned: "On June 25th, he took back six cities and forced the other party's nest. Why did he suddenly turn against each other ten days later? Also, there is also a problem with Jiang Zhan being executed. It is definitely not as simple as delaying the messenger!"

Tang Ji talked to himself for a while, but in the end he couldn't come up with any result. He tied the bamboo slips in his hand as they were, returned to the original place, flipped them to the side, and found another volume of "The Northwest Rebellion". He quickly picked them up, walked back to the window, and browsed them.

"Afterwards, the old emperor was furious and executed the commander, and sent the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple to jointly investigate the clues of Jiang Zhan's death. On October 25, Zhong Han, the minister of Dali Temple, did not find out why Jiang Zhan was executed, but found a letter from Jiang Zhan and Liao King Li Min at Jiang Zhan's home, which mentioned the news that Li Min ordered Jiang Zhan to assist the King of Beicheng to rebel. After interrogating the Liao king's disciples and others, it was confirmed that the two had always been in contact, but the Liao king himself denied it; on October 18, the old emperor issued an edict to remove the position of Prince of Liao and demoted his fief of Liaozhou; on the 26th of the 12th lunar month, the Liao king was killed on the way to Liaozhou." After reading, Tang Ji couldn't help but sigh.

According to the investigation of Jiang Ran's mother, Qin Su, the letters between King Liao and Jiang Zhan were forged, so why did this letter be forged? Is it to get the King Liao down? Could it be that the dispute over the throne was involved?

Thinking of this, Tang Ji's eyes flashed with him a few days ago for breakfast. He pursed his lips and murmured: "It seems that to understand the truth of this matter, we must first find out the situation in the court that year."

After standing there for a while, I looked up and found that it was getting late. I kept everything I saw in my mind, quickly rolled up the bamboo slips and prepared to leave, but suddenly I felt a little rough under the bamboo stick on the outermost side of the bamboo slip. After I raised it, I found that the word "中" was engraved on it.

He quickly walked back to the bookshelf and saw that the book he had taken before was engraved with the word "up" which means that there should be another book in "The Northwest Rebellion".

Thinking of this, he quickly looked through it, but did not find the last bamboo slips. He touched his head in confusion: "Where is the last book?"

If nothing unexpected happens, the last volume should record information related to Qin Su. Then why is this volume gone? Could it be that the last volume was stolen by Qin Su?

Just as he was full of doubts, footsteps suddenly came downstairs, which scared him so much that he quickly put the bamboo slips in his hand back to their original position and sorted them out briefly.

"Tsk, you kid must go against me, right? You're told not to come up!" Qin Hong held his waist and glared at him angrily.

"Hehe, Mr. Qin, you don't know anything. I like to write novels. I am not interested in those sage books. I just want to understand some historical materials and have inspiration to write books." Tang Ji smiled foolishly and touched his head.

Qin Hong shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Most of the records on this are secret matters of the royal family or the court. If you write them into the novel, you will be dead. For Old Man Chen's sake, the old man will not pursue the matter this time, hurry up!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked downstairs.

"Okay!" Tang Ji answered and quickly chased after him, but accidentally hit a bookcase. He covered his shoulders with some pain, and shocked the copper-colored wooden sign hanging on it with the engraved "The Third Year of Yuanqi" swaying.

"Be careful. If you knock down the bookcase, go to Xingchenwei and explain carefully!" Qin Hong's reminder came downstairs again.

Tang Ji couldn't help but remember the bloody and violent scene in the Star Guard, shivered and quickly chased after him.

After walking back to the first floor, Tang Ji rubbed his eyes, turned his eyes slightly, and asked casually: "Old Qin, do you say that the books on this are all about the royal family and the court?"

"What? You kid is deaf at a young age. Do you want the old man to say it again?" Qin Hong walked to the desk, hugged the books that Tang Ji turned out in his chest, walked back to the bookshelf, and put them back one by one.

Tang Ji licked his chapped lips and said in confusion: "I see that those cabinets are engraved with vintages. Could it be that some books have been stored for decades?"

"What do you want to get something out of me?" Qin Hong turned his head and looked at him, then explained: "In the sixth year of Yuanqi, Wenyuan Pavilion was in a fire and some things were burned, so the historical materials from the sixth year of Yuanqi were restored by the historians based on memories and related records."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, which means that the last volume of "The Northwest Rebellion" was not taken away by Qin Su. Who stole it? Could it be that there are others who are investigating Jiang Zhan's case?
