Chapter 30: Treacherous Life Experience

Hearing this, Zhao Pu looked at Wang Yuanheng meaningfully and said, "But, what happened after that is related to your life experience." Ah! Wang Yuanheng felt a stern and he quickly stood up and looked at Zhao Pu silently. Zhao Pu thought for a while and slowly said, "After Taizong ascended the throne, he began to personally conquer the Northern Han as he said before. The Northern Han was defeated not long after. But this Khitan was extremely difficult to deal with, and he returned empty-handed twice in a row; especially the two things that happened in the meantime made me suspicious from then on. "What's the matter?" Wang Yuanheng

Asked in surprise, Zhao Pu watched Wang Yuanheng slowly preach, "This happened when Taizong personally conquered the Khitan for the second time. Before leaving this time, he first transferred Zhao Defang, the fourth son of Taizu who was guarding the capital, to the other place, and then brought Taizu's second son Zhao Dezhao with him to conquer the Khitan together. It was also during this conquest that something big happened. "What happened?" Wang Yuanheng asked anxiously. "At that time, Taizong led hundreds of thousands of troops to surround the Khitan capital Youzhou, and it was impossible to escape. The two armies were in a stalemate, and one day, the disappearance of Taizong was suddenly reported in the army.

So, someone suggested that the second son of Taizu Zhao Dezhao ascended the throne. Unexpectedly, just a few days later, Taizong, who escaped safely, returned to the army. At this time, Zhao Dezhao took a list of military meritorious personnel to ask Taizong to reward him. Taizong was immediately angry and said, "When you become emperor, you will be rewarded again! Unexpectedly, after His Highness Dezhao returned, he hanged himself. Two years later, news came that His Highness Defang, who was transferred to Xingyuan Prefecture, died of illness; not long afterwards, Zhao Dezhao was proposed to ascend the throne in the army and was sued.

Secret. Taizong was furious and immediately ordered all Zhao Dezhao's family to be executed. But on the day of the beheading, he found that his youngest son and wet nurse Wang were missing. At that time, although we, the old Taizu, were all sighing, we were helpless. Later, when we were sorting out the relics of Taizu, we accidentally discovered a martial arts secret book for practicing sword in Taizu's collection. So I began to practice secretly according to the secret method. Unexpectedly, it was successful a few years later. But when we saw Taizong in the court valued eunuchs and excluded Taizu's old ministers, he became interested in returning to the mountains and forests.

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "I was also involved in it because I remembered that Taizong ascended the throne. Now that Taizu's old ministers were all excluded, and their two sons died one after another, I felt very guilty. So I passed all the sword skills to my son, and asked him to name Ye Xiao with the meaning of "full careers" and hide his name in the world. He also searched for His Highness Dezhao's missing young son Zhao Weiming and his wet nurse Wang." "Did you find it?" Wang Yuanheng asked. Zhao Pu did not say anything, but looked at Wang Yuanheng, and turned around and walked out. Wang Yuanheng hesitated for a moment and hurriedly followed. As soon as he went out, he saw Zhao Pu standing at the door of another attic to look at him.

He waved his hand and looked up at the attic subconsciously. He saw that the attic was no different from the "Tingfeng Pavilion" written on the door, except for the two big words "Tingfeng Pavilion" written on the door, and hurried over. After entering, Zhao Pu did not stop downstairs and led Wang Yuanheng directly to the second floor. The furnishings here were simpler. There was nothing except the few portraits on the wall. Wang Yuanheng looked at the portrait on the wall carefully. One of the pictures in the middle was a young general with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and the one next to him was his mother Wang. While he was thinking, Zhao Pu had already patted Wang Yuanheng on the shoulder

, pointed to the portrait of the military general and said, "Child, give your father, His Highness Dezhao," Wang Yuanheng immediately understood, and immediately bowed to the ground, "Dongdongdongdong" and kowtowed three times. After Zhao Pu helped Wang Yuanheng up, he said, "The one next to you, you can recognize it, is your wet nurse Wang." "Why are their portraits here?" Wang Yuanheng was puzzled. "In order to find you, I traveled all over the country, but for more than ten years, there was no progress. Later, when I became older, I left the dog son to search for him. But he had never seen Wang before, and I don't know what your appearance looks like when you grew up. But I thought I would like to have a relationship with your father.

His Highness Dezhao is almost the same. So, based on my memory, I painted the appearance of your father and wet nurse Wang for identification. While the two were talking, "Dengdeng" walked up. When Wang Yuanheng looked at the person, he quickly bowed and said, "Senior Ye Xiao" Ye Xiao did not answer, but looked at Zhao Pu and said, "Fortunately, I can submit a meeting with my father now." Zhao Pu did not answer, but pointed to another painting and said to Wang Yuanheng, "This person is extremely important, you must remember his appearance." Wang Yuanheng looked at the words and saw that the person on the painting had no need to be white and his eyes were cunning; especially the huge black mole on his eyelid was particularly conspicuous.

Zhao Pu pointed to the human on the painting and said, "This person is named Wang Jien, the eunuch in the palace back then; he should have been the person Taizu trusted the most, but unexpectedly, Taizu's funeral empress did something ruthless; it was because of this that you lived a life of displaced for many years." Oh? Wang Yuanheng was puzzled. After a pause, Zhao Pu slowly said, "On the day, after Taizu's funeral, Empress Song, who arrived hurriedly, immediately sent Wang Jien to invite your father or His Highness Defang. However, Wang Jien did not look for them, but introduced King Zhao Guangyi of Jin to the palace.

Zhong.’ Speaking of this, Zhao Pu shook his head and said, ‘It’s no wonder that Taizong favored this eunuch so much. Not only did he let him participate in political affairs, but he also handed over the imperial guards to him.’ ‘Where is he now?’ Wang Yuanheng said angrily. Zhao Pu sighed lightly, ‘This guy suddenly resigned from his official position for some reason and disappeared from his hometown. There was also a large number of Taizu’s collection of books. Among them, the most precious one is the "Sunflower Book" that Taizu regarded as a treasure. A few years later, there was no news about this person.’

Ye Xiao next to him suddenly patted Wang Yuanheng on the shoulder and suddenly said, "You must be careful of the Wanxian Gang." Wang Yuanheng was stunned. Just as he was about to ask, Zhao Pu had already bowed deeply and said, "Now the young master knows his life experience. You are originally the grandson of Taizu Dizu. But if you want to regain the treasure, my father and son and a group of old ministers will definitely help the young master with all their wishes!" Wang Yuanheng did not answer immediately, but after a long time, he asked, "In theory, Taizu was originally a brave and martial person, but how could he be so interested in studying?" Zhao Pu thought about it, "This matter is related to an experience when Taizu was young." He replied

"Oh?" Wang Yuanheng immediately became interested. Zhao Pu looked at Wang Yuanheng and said slowly, "When I worked with Taizu, I also asked Taizu about this matter. Taizu said that this was related to a crazy Taoist he saved in Bianjing City when he was a teenager: that day, he originally slipped into the city to play. However, as soon as he entered the city, he met a group of evil young men beating a crazy Taoist in the street. He immediately stepped forward and beat the group of evil young men away with a punch and kick. He saw that the Taoist was indeed pitiful, and he felt compassion for a moment, so he invited him to the restaurant for a big meal.' (To be continued)
