Because the record of Kangxi came from Emperor Kangxi, some people began to explain this problem. This is not what we modern people explain today. At that time, some people speculated that the silver was actually buried by Wei Zhongxian.
Why do they guess that? It is said that Wei Zhongxian wanted to be emperor at that time, so he embezzled a lot of silver in advance and hid it in the palace. I didn't expect that after emperor Chongzhen came to power, he was executed before he could rebel. His best friend kept the secret for him and didn't tell emperor Chongzhen about it.
Unexpectedly, Li Zicheng entered the capital and began to plunder. Moreover, because eunuchs were easy to know about the property in the palace, this group became the focus of Li Zicheng's attention.
In this way, one of the eunuchs who knew about Wei Zhongxian's treasure didn't hold on, so he confessed it. So there is the description in Kangxi record.
But is that really possible?
You know, this is 2 million taels of silver! It's not a small number. If it's hidden in the original storeroom of the palace, Chongzhen will find it as soon as he comes to power. If you dig a cellar in the palace to hide, then it must be a big project.
In addition, it must take a lot of people to move the silver. It's very noisy. That is to say, Wei Zhongxian is definitely not the only one who knows the news, so the news can't be kept secret.
In addition, after Chongzhen came to power, Wei Zhongxian had lost his power. If his best friend, or the remaining party who was not pursued by Emperor Chongzhen, could take the initiative to report this matter to Emperor Chongzhen when the national finance was extremely difficult, it would be a great achievement.
Therefore, even when Chongzhen first came to power, he might not know about it, but when Wei Zhongxian died, some people who knew about it would rush to report it. Therefore, it seems unreliable to say that Wei Zhongxian's secret treasure, or silver, was hidden in the palace.
Before getting this thing today, Chu Chen often laughs at the treasures handed down by historical celebrities. The reason is very simple. Even if there are treasures, if there are no detailed clues, they will not be so easy to find. Otherwise, how can they not be found all the time?
As for Wei Zhongxian, if he really had so many treasures, he would have been plundered by Chongzhen, who was in great economic difficulties at that time. Otherwise, how could Chongzhen have given up Wei Zhongxian's death?
Of course, Wei Zhongxian may have left some silver or treasures, but the amount should not be too large. In addition, in that case, those things must have been hidden by Wei Zhongxian. Otherwise, they would have been found by the internal spies. How could they have been enjoyed by Wei Zhongxian?
Anyway, Chu Chen didn't care about Wei Zhongxian's treasure at all, and even if he cared, it didn't work because he didn't have any relevant clues, and he didn't have a place to look. Moreover, in his heart, he did not believe in this treasure.
However, Chu Chen did not expect that he actually met a clue about Wei Zhongxian's treasure today. If it was a treasure map of Wei Zhongxian's treasure, he might still have a dubious attitude, but now the other party has found Wei Zhongxian's treasure, and has realized part of it. Such credibility can be greatly increased.
You know, it's Wei Zhongxian's treasure. Depending on his status and greed, the things in the treasure can't be poor. It's very likely that they are valuable. Even if this treasure has been realized a lot by this writer, the value of the rest is not low.
Thinking of this, even Chu Chen, who has seen a lot of things, is very enthusiastic, so he quickly unfolds the paper. However, as soon as the next content comes to the eye, he is a bit silly, because the characters on it are indeed traditional Chinese characters, and he knows them all, but they are all in a mess. They can't be combined into sentences, and he can't understand them at all!
As he got some experience from Zhang huoni's notes, Chu Chen followed these experiences and looked at the words forward, backward, obliquely, and skipping again. He found that he could not combine any useful sentences.
Seeing this, Chu Chen thought that this piece of paper was probably written for fun. Otherwise, why did he write like this? After all, if it's written to play, why should people put things in the lid? Just to be more real?
Of course, the world is not without such boring people, but if you really want to cheat, why does he not write more realistic? Like now, people with a clear eye know that there is a problem. Is it possible that these words actually have other meanings?
Thinking of this, Chu Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "yes! I almost forgot the incision! "
"Incision" is the old secret language in the guild or industry, often a word or word stands for different meanings. Wang Yuncheng's Yuanshe Jinyu in Song Dynasty has an introduction to this aspect. For example, "access" means "enter the house", "start" means "get", "start" means "no", and so on.
If understood in this way, the contents on the paper may have been recorded by incisions. Because of this, without corresponding references, Chu Chen certainly could not understand what was written above.But then again, Chu Chen didn't know what kind of code was used, or even the unique code. Now he doesn't even know who wrote this, and where can he find the contrast of the code?
Besides, this thing has been written for hundreds of years. Are the descendants still there? In other words, whether the contrast of the code is still there or not is all unknown.
"Well! After a long time, it's useless! " Chu Chen shook his head with a bitter smile. However, he was somewhat unwilling to let him give up. He thought that manager Peng had said before that this thing was bought from ghost market, and Chu Chen, the seller, knew it. At that time, he said he had to ask where it was collected.
But it is so unfortunate that the seller will come to Panjiayuan only when he is in ghost market every week, and he has to go to star city this week. It is not convenient for him to ask others about this kind of thing. He can only go to meet the seller when he comes back next week.
…………
Time flies. In a twinkling of an eye, it's Friday. Although the exchange meeting is on Sunday, you have to go ahead of time. Besides, it's not easy to go to sub Star City. You have to have a little tour.
So, early in the morning, Chu Chen, Uncle Wu, his father and daughter, and Zhu Dafu went to the Beijing airport in a business car driven by Zuo Shan.
It is said that the venue of this exchange meeting is located in Shiyan lake, a national AAAA scenic spot, which is about 20 kilometers away from star city.
Shiyan lake has a long history and culture. The scenic spot is surrounded by mountains, jade like water, beautiful peaks and hills, delicious grass, ancient twigs and green shade.
Surrounded by lush primary secondary forests, the forest coverage rate is more than 98% except for the water surface, and the content of negative oxygen ions in the air is more than 80000 per cubic centimeter. It has the reputation of "Jiuzhai in Hunan and Chu, yaochi in the world" and "the green and blue dream of urban people".
After all, it's an antique exchange. Many of the people invited are literati. It's normal to choose such a place. It's really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone to appreciate the beautiful scenery while appreciating the treasures.
The name of Shiyan lake, chuchen has long been like thunder. It's just that the capital is too far away from the Star City, and Chu Chen is always a little shy before he gets the power. He doesn't have so much leisure and money to go to play. He didn't expect that he would get what he wanted this time.
Chu Chen asked curiously, "Dad, who is holding the exchange meeting this time?"
Uncle Wu replied: "the original organizer is Chai Pingzhi. He is a local snake of Xingcheng. He has a lot of industries under his name, and he is also very good. He used to take a few pieces of porcelain from me, but I didn't expect that in the twinkling of an eye, yin and Yang are separated!"
"Yes! What a pity, Mr. Chai Zhu Dafu shook his head and sighed.
Seeing the sad atmosphere in the car, Wu Ke immediately asked, "who is the undertaker now?"
Zhu Dafu explained: "it's Chai Pingzhi's cousin. His name is Chai Pingle. Originally, Chai Pingzhi and Chai Pingzhi were in charge of the company together. The company is also thriving. Unexpectedly, this kind of thing suddenly happened. It's estimated that Chai Pingle's future is not optimistic."
"In that case, why did he continue to hold this exchange meeting?" Wu Ke asked again.
Uncle Wu said with a smile, "Xiao Ke, do you know why your uncle Fu said that Chai Pingle will have a hard time in the future?"
Seeing that Wu Ke shook his head, he went on to say, "because their business is not only pawn shops and personal loans, but also real estate. These three businesses need a certain background in order to become bigger and stronger. In the past, things like public relations were handled by Chai Pingzhi. Now that he's suddenly gone, it's hard to say whether some relationships will change."
Even so, Uncle Wu can foresee that without Chai Pingzhi, Chai Pingle will not be able to maintain their relationship. The reason is very simple. The two brothers are like a pair of chopsticks. They used to pinch the food in the bowl when they wanted to, but now a chopstick is gone. Can they still get the food?
Similarly, Chai Pingle's working ability is very strong, but without Chai Pingzhi, it is not as simple as losing his right arm. It is bound to have a huge impact on the stable operation and operation ability of the company.
As the old saying goes, all the bustle of the world is for profit, and all the bustle of the world is for profit. Why did those people support their brothers before? It's not because of one word of profit. Now that the profit is less or gone, how can they still support them?
