Lu Fugui shook his head.

"I don't know. It's been over four hundred years, and the Lu family has never thought of opening the tomb. But I think it shouldn't be possible.

The gourd jade itself is very different from ordinary jade. If it could be imitated, our ancestors would not use it as a key.

Moreover, the golden gourd leaves were hand-painted by Hua Shen's ancestors. The veins in the leaves are very complex, and there is no room for error. The material used is also the hardest chromium iron, which is very difficult to process.

Master Lu, the most famous blacksmith at the time, took two of his disciples and spent nearly three years to complete it."

After Lu Fugui finished speaking, he looked at Li Jixin.

“Outsiders have spread rumors that Lu Ling is full of priceless treasures, but there are almost no people who know the secret of the Lu Family Jade.

The craftsmen who handled the work at that time, as well as Master Lu and his colleagues, had no idea that the gourd jade was the key to opening the tomb.

But the Second Young Master guessed the origins of the Lu family based on just a few words on the golden leaf..."

Han Qingyun, Lu Yanyan and Lu Changping all looked at Li Jixin.

Still immersed in Lu Fugui's story, Li Jixin, who rarely looked solemn, tapped Lu Changping with his fan.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Your Lu family has secrets, but my Li family doesn't have any?

What is ferrochrome? You might not even be able to find ten pieces in the entire Dayu. Without Emperor Yuanzong’s help, even if Lu Huashen is very capable, he won’t be able to get it.”

Han Qingyun, Lu Fugui and others looked up at the sky somewhat embarrassedly.

They did not suspect Prince Lin's Mansion, but just subconsciously looked at Li Jixin.

Lu Yanyan coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.

"From what the Second Young Master said, it seems that the relationship between the Lu family's ancestors and Emperor Yuanzong was more than just a donation of family property."

Li Jixin nodded.

"For some reason, Lü Huashen didn't want to get involved with the royal family. Even the descendants of the Lü family didn't want to talk about what happened back then.

Therefore, neither Mr. Lu nor Mr. Lu knew everything about the ancestors of the Lu family.

But my Li family has some handwritten notes and secret records that record the events of that year in great detail.

Do you know who Lu Huashen's third grandson is?"

Everyone was stunned.

A long list of names flashed through Lu Fugui's mind.

The Lu family genealogy was too thick, and when a name from more than four hundred years ago was mentioned, he really couldn't think of it for a moment.

Li Jixin sneered.

"Uncle Lu, forget it. There's no such person in your Lu family tree."

He suddenly changed the way he addressed Lu Fugui to "Uncle Lu", which puzzled everyone.

Li Jixin first laughed like a fox, then sighed and looked at Dalin.

Dalin knew that he was about to tell a big secret and was about to leave.

"Uncle Dalin, please stay."

Zhao Xingwu, Yangli and several of Li Jixin's personal guards were all guarding in the courtyard.

There were only six of them in the room.

He had checked the relationship between Dalin and the Lu family and believed it was trustworthy.

Dalin was stunned for a moment when he was called "Uncle Dalin", and his raised foot would not move.

Lu Fugui patted Dalin, and Dalin finally reacted and quickly closed the door.

Several people sat around Li Jixin, and Li Jixin deliberately lowered his voice.

"Lv Huashen's third grandson, originally named Lv Shuo, later changed his name to Li Yunzhong. He is my great-great-great-grandfather... I don't know how many generations ago."

"plum?"

Han Qingyun and others felt their heads go blank. This secret was too big.

Li Jixin rolled his eyes.

"What are you thinking? Li Yunzhong has never been an emperor."

Han Qingyun and others then breathed a sigh of relief.

They were so scared that they thought it was a story of someone substituting someone else for a dead body.

"My grandfather, Li Jin, who is who knows how many generations ago, had five sons and thirteen grandsons.

Unfortunately, everyone who followed him to fight died except Emperor Yuanzong who stayed in the capital.

At that time, they conquered the State of Jiang and were set up a trap by the royal family of Jiang on their way back to the capital.

Li Jin and his children and grandchildren were at the front of the team and were all shot dead.

When Emperor Yuanzong heard the news, he was devastated. To maintain stability, he had no choice but to hastily ascend the throne and appointed Li Jin's only great-grandson, Li Sang, as the crown prince.

Li Sang was the grandson of Emperor Yuanzong's eldest brother and was four years old at the time.

Afterwards, Emperor Yuanzong led his men to kill all the members of the Jiang Kingdom's side branches, and the Jiang Kingdom finally submitted to Dayu."

Li Jixin looked a little embarrassed when he said this.

"Emperor Yuanzong was injured. Ahem, he will never have children again.

He didn't take it too seriously at first, as the Li family still had Li Sang, so it wasn't a generational break.

But sometimes, man's plans are not as good as God's. Emperor Yuanzong's Empress Yan is pregnant with a pearl. Don't think too much about it. She is really Emperor Yuanzong's biological child.

Han Qingyun and others: Who is overthinking it? It’s obviously you who are overthinking it.

"Empress Yan felt that since she already had her own child, she couldn't let someone else's child become the emperor. So she had Li Sang killed.

When Emperor Yuanzong returned, he was so angry that he wanted to depose the empress. But in the entire Li royal family, the only one left was the one in Empress Yan's belly.

Soon, Empress Yan gave birth to a daughter, Li Qingyi. Emperor Yuanzong banished Empress Yan to the cold palace, but he was worried about Li Qingyi.

The Li family conquered the world after losing a bunch of princes and grandchildren, but in the end, only a girl was left. Without a prince, the court officials would not be stable.

Li Qingyi was raised as a prince, and everyone was silenced. Outsiders just thought that Queen Yan gave birth to a little prince.

Later, Lu Huashen donated his family property, which inspired others to follow suit. After decades of turmoil in the government and the country, things gradually stabilized.

Emperor Yuanzong wanted to reward Lü Huashen with the title of imperial merchant, but Lü Huashen refused and only said that he would take all the members of the Lü family back to their ancestral home.

After Lu Ling was built, Lu Huashen and his children and grandchildren tried many methods, but none of them could create a key that satisfied him.

He remembered what Emperor Yuanzong had said, that he could help him do something, so he went to Luo City and asked for a piece of extremely hard material.

The one who accompanied him was Li Yunzhong, who was still called Lu Shuo at that time.

Lu Shuo was nine years old that year, with a handsome face and delicate features. Emperor Yuanzong became interested in him. In the end, Lu Shuo was exchanged by Lu Huashen for a piece of chromium iron..."

Lu Fugui held his forehead with his hand. He really didn't know about this.

Lu Yanyan also smiled somewhat helplessly.

I wonder what our ancestor named Lu Shuo felt when he was sold to the royal family by his grandfather.

"In order to silence the ministers, Lü Shuo changed his name to Li Yunzhong and was named Prince Yun. Emperor Yuanzong called him his second brother's posthumous son.

A few years later, Li Qingyi passed away, and the Yun Palace gained a new Qing Prince Consort. Two years later, the Yun Palace's youngest son was born and was soon made Crown Prince, who later became Emperor Yun Jing.

This incident was a secret shared by both the Lu and Li families. The Lu family later left Guanzhong Prefecture and never returned. Perhaps because the secret was too great, they deliberately kept it quiet.

Except for Emperor Yun Jing who tried to find the Lu family, subsequent emperors deliberately downplayed their relationship with the Lu family because of this secret.

No one knows where the Lu family went. But I never expected that four hundred years later, the Li and Lu families would eventually meet.

No matter how many generations have passed, my Dayu royal family will always have a trace of Lu family blood in them."

After Li Jixin finished speaking, the room fell into dead silence.

They are not able to judge whether the decisions made by their ancestors are right or wrong.

If it were them, would they have the courage to push Li Qingyi to the throne of empress?

"Emperor Yun Jing used history as a lesson to teach his descendants not to be too ruthless. It was Li Jin who first attacked the Jiang Kingdom, and this disaster for the Li family is retribution.

Therefore, over the years, Dayu Kingdom has never taken the initiative to attack enemy countries. But the more it does so, the more it gives those villains face..."
