[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Under Rong Enqing's questioning gaze, Yun Hong slowly told a little-known secret, an absurd story about the Yun family, the Xia family and the Zhou family, about friends, gratitude and the world.

At the end of the previous dynasty, the court was corrupt, the people were living in misery, and the world was in chaos.

Yun Yi and Xia Houde and Zhou Liansheng, who were born in the countryside, are of similar temperament and sworn brotherhood. Yun Yi secretly supports the two to become the commanders of their respective factions. When the time is right, Yun Yi lets the two start an uprising in their respective areas.

The three of them agreed that Yun Yi would control the capital, Xia Houde would be the main one, and Zhou Liansheng would be the auxiliary one, and the two of them would sweep across the world.

The three agreed that after the success, the Yun family would replace the Zhao family. Xia Houde and Zhou Liansheng would be made kings of different surnames, each with three prefectures as fiefs and commanding an army of 200,000. The three divided the world.

This agreement seemed stupid, but all three agreed to it. As for what they were thinking, it was unknown.

But everyone saw the result.

The Xia family came to power, and Xia Houde ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, named Kaiyuan.

Zhou Liansheng, who should have been granted the title of a powerful king of a different surname after conquering the world, only got the title of Duke Zhenguo.

The worst was Yun Yi. The chess master of the world, the founder of the new dynasty, ended up being a rebel against the previous dynasty, the Marquis of Shun'an of the Great Zhou Dynasty! In the end, he was forced to flee!

At this moment, Rong Enqing realized that the Duke Zhenguo Mansion and the Marquis Shun'an Mansion actually had such a connection.

Although no one knew what happened in the meantime, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion changed from a king of a different surname to the Duke of Zhenguo. It was impossible for him not to be furious.

What's more, Xia Houde was able to become an emperor from a king of a different surname, so Zhou Liansheng might not be without such ambitions.

However, Rong Enqing had no idea why Zhou Liansheng finally vented his anger on the Shun'an Marquis Mansion.

"It was the Xia family that betrayed the agreement with grandfather! Xia Houde is an ungrateful villain! Without grandfather, what would he be? He was just a soldier in the army. Fortunately, grandfather valued and supported him. Only then did he rise to a high position step by step and command a large number of troops. ... This world should have belonged to the Yun family! What grandfather and I did was just to take back the country that belongs to us!"

Looking at Yun Hong, who was filled with righteous indignation, blazing eyes, and full of fighting spirit, Rong Enqing just found it funny and ridiculous.

In front of the country, Yun Yi was still naive enough to want to use agreements and gratitude to force Xia Houde to fulfill his ambitions?

Rong Enqing was a little skeptical. Could it be that a tyrant who had been feared by Emperor Taihe for thirty years had only this much intelligence? Or was he really that naive?

Even if everything was as Yun Hong said, and it was Xia Houde who betrayed Yun Yi and seized the world that should have belonged to Yun Yi, so what?

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit!

If you lose, you lose! If you miss, you miss!

The Great Zhou is now peaceful and the people are safe. The people of the world have just come out of the war. If Yun Yi restarts the war because of his unwillingness, then he is the executioner and the sinner!

Rong Enqing might feel sorry for Yun Yi, but she would never agree with Yun Yi's behavior of putting the people of the world into dire straits for his own selfish interests.

So, she listened to the story.

But she was still not ready to stand on Yun Yi's side.

With such a decision, what Rong Enqing has to think about now is how to get out of the quagmire of the already crazy Yun family.

As for how to extinguish the Yun family's rage for rebellion or revenge, that was not something she should consider.

Rong Enqing raised his hand to interrupt Yun Hong's denunciation of Emperor Kaiyuan's betrayal, and asked what he was most concerned about: "You have been back in Beijing for half a year, hiding in the dark. You have been pretending to be Yun Hao for two months. But you have never shown up. Why do you want to recognize me today? Is it really because I want to kill you that you are forced to confess your identity to me?"

Rong Enqing looked at Yun Hong and asked word by word: "What is your purpose in meeting me?"

Yun Hong sighed and smiled helplessly: "Mother, you have really changed, completely changed.

"If you were still the same person as before, I would never dare to recognize you.

"In the past few months since I returned to Beijing, I have been paying close attention to my mother's every move. I found that you have become calm and rational, and you are full of affection for Yun Ye and the Marquis's Mansion. In addition, you have passed the tests of Yun Ye and me, so I will recognize you today."

"Test?" Rong Enqing frowned slightly and grasped the key point in Yun Hong's words.

She was startled and suddenly thought of something.

If Yun Hong replaced Yun Hao two months ago, then how do we explain the poisoning of Yun Ye and Zhang yesterday?

Could this be the temptation he mentioned?

Sure enough, Yun Hong smiled awkwardly and said cautiously, "Mother, you should have guessed it, right? The plan to let Yun Shi poison Yun Ye and Zhang was actually a test for you. By the way, it was also a test to see if Li Mao was still trustworthy. Whether the people under him still obeyed my and my grandfather's orders."

Rong Enqing just thought it was ridiculous. Her own son and grandson teamed up to test her!

what is this?

Haha, it’s obvious that the Yun family father and son don’t treat her as their own!

At this moment, Rong Enqing only felt sad for his original body and himself.

The original body did not receive recognition from his son Yun Hong.

And she did not get the recognition of her grandson Yun Ye.

Seeing Rong Enqing's face becoming more and more ugly, Yun Hong hurriedly smiled and explained softly: "Don't be angry, mother. You know, my grandfather and I are in a very dangerous situation now. So, I don't want to take risks easily. Even before I recognized Yun Ye, it took me a long time to understand Yun Ye, and I went through several tests before I finally recognized him."

Rong Enqing didn't want to listen to these useless explanations, so he brought the conversation back to the point.

"You risked your life to return to Beijing, impersonated Yun Hao, and now you are willing to test me at the cost of human life, and then recognize me... Why did you do so much?"

Yun Hong looked at Rong Enqing quietly and slowly uttered a few words: "For the treasure."

"What did you say!?" Rong Enqing was shocked again, "The treasure really exists?"

Hearing the word "treasure" from Yun Hong's mouth in person was enough to explain everything.

"Really." Yun Hong nodded, confirming Rong Enqing's guess.

"That……"

Without waiting for Rong Enqing to ask, Yun Hong took the initiative to say: "The treasure is buried under the Duiyue Pavilion. Mother was unable to find the treasure before because you did not dig deep enough.

"The underground ice cellar is three meters high. If we dig another three meters down, we can reach the secret room where the treasure is hidden. If we dig another three meters down, we can really dig out the secret room where the treasure is hidden."

Rong Enqing gasped.

Ask her to calculate, three zhang equals 10 meters. 10 meters equals the height of three floors.

In other words, if you want to dig out the treasure, you have to dig a pit at least as deep as a six-story building? Is this something a normal person can do?

These days, it’s hard to dig a well that deep.

"Mother, don't be surprised. If grandfather hadn't been fully prepared, he wouldn't have hidden the treasure in the Marquis' Mansion. Grandfather dared to hide the treasure in the Marquis' Mansion because he was sure that no one would be able to find it." Yun Hong smiled and comforted Rong Enqing.

"So, you came back this time to find a way to get rid of this treasure?"

"Yes. My grandfather needs the money now, so he asked me to take the risk and go back to Beijing to get it."
