Chapter 407: The Nanlai Royal Family's Methods
Later, Princess Jiang Ning of the Nanlai royal family, taking the "Secret Records of the Great Zhou Royal Family" brought back by Nan Fengyun and Emperor Lai Qing, went to Xiqi, Dongling and Yan State successively.
This book, "Secret Records of the Great Zhou Royal Family", not only describes the various dazzling treasures of the Great Zhou Royal Family, but also mentions the elixir of life.
The elixir of immortality may not be very attractive to ordinary people, but for those who hold imperial power, who doesn’t want immortality?
And this so-called elixir of life was placed in a box inlaid with colorful gems.
The box was originally a collection of the Lu family in Hexi, but was stolen by the royal family of the Great Zhou.
Later, when Dayu was established, Lu Huashen, a son of the Lu family who escaped, donated his family property to Emperor Yuanzong.
Emperor Yuanzong returned the Lu family's collection to Lu Huashen.
Afterwards, Lu Huashen built Lu Mausoleum and sealed up all the remains and collections of the Lu family that could be found.
Among them is this box containing the elixir of immortality...
Han Qingyun paused again when he said this.
The former fourth prince of Yan State, now the Ming King of Yan, pushed his younger brother, the Fu King, to the throne.
The Yan royal family kept very clear records of that period of history.
It is naturally impossible to convince the emperors of several countries based solely on Princess Jiang Ning's words and the "Secret Records of the Great Zhou Royal Family" whose authenticity is difficult to verify.
But Princess Jiang Ning brought a woman with her, saying that it was Nan Fengyun.
Nan Fengyun was already eighty years old at that time, but the woman looked no more than thirty.
The woman said that she was able to maintain her youth because of the elixir of life.
Soon, the old man from the delegation that was sent to Da Zhou was found.
During the last years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the royal family lived extravagantly, the people lived in misery, the national strength of the Great Zhou gradually weakened, and the states of Dongling, Xiqi, and Yan asked the Great Zhou to offer treasures for various reasons.
All countries have stationed envoys in the capital of the Great Zhou, ready to ask for benefits at any time.
The main reason why Nanlai Kingdom was able to become the descendant of the Great Zhou Dynasty was because of the beautiful women in Nanlai.
Nan Fengyun was the most beautiful woman in Nanlai at that time. When the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty married her, envoys from various countries went to congratulate her and ask for money.
The wedding was so grand that even after so many years, it is still fresh in people’s memory.
Emperor Zhou got married, and envoys from various countries were waiting to receive rewards, but were rejected by the bride, Nan Fengyun.
At that time, Nan Fengyun was eighteen years old, wearing a fluttering red dress and looking extremely handsome.
Upon hearing that the diplomatic envoys were trying to get something for free at her wedding, Nan Fengyun challenged several top fighters from various countries, and the diplomatic envoys did not gain any benefit at all, and even sent a lot of gifts.
Because of this incident, they remembered Nan Fengyun very clearly.
The woman was indeed exactly like Nan Fengyunsheng.
Not only did the woman look like Nan Fengyun, she also spoke very well about the life of the royal family of the Great Zhou.
The people of Nanlai are good at making secret medicines, and Nan Fengyun is an expert among them.
After marrying into the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Nan Fengyun, with the help of the Zhou Emperor, obtained many rare medicines, including the key ingredient for making elixirs of immortality - Lingxian Yuzhen Flower.
There is only one Lingxian Yuzhen flower in the world.
Nan Fengyun mobilized the entire country and spent ten years to get it.
Afterwards, Nan Fengyun successfully produced twenty elixirs of immortality.
Unfortunately, Li Jin's army had already reached the outside of the palace at that time. Nan Fengyun hurriedly ate one pill herself and hid the remaining 19 in a box. She locked the box with a special lock, and no one could open it without the key.
She ordered the royal treasures to be taken away, and then fled the palace with her son Zhou Chao.
She carried the box with her, but unfortunately it was left in the palace in her haste.
As Emperor Lai Qing gradually grew older, this matter became a pain in Nan Fengyun's heart.
She sent people to many places to inquire about the box, but was told that the box had been sealed in Lu Ling by Lu Huashen.
The people of Nanlai went to Luling many times, trying to open Luling and take out the elixir of immortality, but they all ended in failure. No one knew where the key to Luling was.
Nan Fengyun could only speculate based on his previous life in the Great Zhou that the key to unlocking Lu Ling was the Lu family's heirloom, the Gourd Jade.
Unfortunately, after Lu Ling was built, the Lu family disappeared, and no matter how Nan Fengyun inquired, he could not find them.
The words of the woman who claimed to be Nan Fengyun moved the emperors of various countries.
They are the supreme rulers, but they cannot fight against life span.
Soon, they sent people to Dayu to inquire about the situation in Lu Ling, and the spies reported the same thing as what "Nan Fengyun" said.
Afterwards, Princess Jiang Ning successfully reached an agreement with the royal families of various countries to jointly take over Dayu, divide up Dayu's wealth and Lu Ling's treasures, and more importantly - the elixir of immortality!
Later, Princess Jiang Ning married the head of the Meng family, the largest clan in Beirong.
Since Princess Jiang Ning, every generation of queens of the Beirong royal family came from the Meng family. The Meng family became the royal family of Beirong and also became an existence beyond the royal family.
Several countries worked together to attack Dayu, but they were never successful.
Hundreds of years passed in the blink of an eye, and the elixir of life was like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey. They seemed to be able to see it, but they could never reach it.
However, no emperor would give up the hope of immortality.
This is how the Nanlai royal family used various means such as elixirs, the division of Dayu’s territory, common hatred, and beauty traps to get other countries to join them in fighting against Dayu.
This alliance lasted for more than three hundred years, but they never set foot in Dayu. If "Nan Fengyun" had not occasionally appeared in the royal families of various countries, they might have given up long ago.
The hope of immortality is a fatal temptation for most emperors.
It’s not that no one has doubted the identity of “Nan Fengyun”, but unfortunately they have no evidence and they are secretly hoping that the elixir of immortality is true.
As Dayu grew more powerful, even the Nanlai royal family began to doubt whether their persistence over the years was correct.
It was not until Emperor Xiaoxian ascended the throne that Dayu gradually became different. Emperor Xiaoxian and his only beloved son, Prince Mingyi, loved luxury and had no mercy on the people.
The country of Dayu began to live in poverty, just like the end of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The Nanlai royal family finally had the opportunity to send a large number of spies to Dayu's territory.
Among Emperor Xiaoxian's seven sons, only the youngest son Li Hetai was as brave and good at fighting as his ancestor. Unfortunately, Li Hetai was not favored by Emperor Xiaoxian and was sent to Jiyang to guard the border at the age of fourteen.
Dayu was in turmoil. The three northern kingdoms joined forces to try to invade Dayu, but were repelled by Li Hetai again and again.
Later, Li Hetai led an army and fought back to Luocheng. The battle lasted for five years.
Those five years were the closest the Nanlai royal family ever came to success.
Dayu's national strength was exhausted, and countless Nanlai assassins assassinated Li Hetai through the Dark Feather Alliance.
As long as Li Hetai died, Emperor Xiaoxian and Prince Mingyi would not be able to stop the coalition forces of the enemy countries.
However, all assassination attempts on Li Hetai failed.
Afterwards, Li Hetai entered Luocheng, killed Prince Mingyi, forced Emperor Xiaoxian to abdicate, and then led his men to recapture Jiyang, which was occupied by the Northern Rong and Yan State.
Li Hetai's iron-fisted tactics quickly stabilized the political situation.
Nanlai Kingdom's plan failed again, but this time, they put people around many officials, including Chen Hao.
Chen Hao's "daughter" Chen Xinrong was actually the legitimate princess of Emperor Yixiang of Nanlai.
From the very beginning, the Nanlai people planned to send Chen Xinrong to the Dayu Palace to cooperate with their plan to overthrow the Dayu Dynasty.
Chen Xinrong did become the prince's concubine as she wished, but unfortunately Prince Hongxuan did not like her.
Prince Hongxuan only loves Qi Miaowan.
On the day of Prince Hongxuan's wedding, Li Hetai resigned and left.
The following year, the eldest princess, Li Zhaoning, was born. Two years later, the eldest prince, Li Zhaoying, the second prince, Li Zhaojie, and the third prince, Li Zhaoye, were born one after another.
