The Human Emperor Chapter 1659: Ghost King? Hou Junji!
Chapter Sixteen Sixty-nine
"Lao Zhang, you said it was a tribute, but there doesn't seem to be a saying about Gaochang's blood jade tribute."
Aside, Zhang Que frowned, and suddenly said.
"Ha Ha Ha, of course not!"
The old jadesmith laughed when he heard the words:
"Gaochang is a small country, and Gaochang jade is their biggest feature. Although this kind of Gaochang jade is of excellent quality, it is scarce, and because of its nature, most blood jade is only the size of a thumb, beyond this size. There are very few blood jade. This is mainly because it is relatively brittle and it is extremely difficult to form large pieces of jade. Any blood jade already with a length of more than three inches is the best, and Gaochang jade with a length of more than eight inches is called already in jade. It ’s Wang Pinyu. I only heard this kind of jade from some old jadesmiths when I was five or six years old.
"It is rumored that there are only three such jadeite kingstones, and in the Emperor Taizong era, all already was dedicated to Emperor Taizong by Gao Changguo. After that, as the jade of Gao Changguo ran out, Gao Changguo's blood jade has already become Absolutely, now there is no thumb-sized jade there, let alone this kind of king-pin jade. "
The old jadesmith passed the age. The original already was a bit old-fashioned, and even speechless, but when talking about Gao Changyu, the whole person was full of energy and seemed to be full of energy.
"Lao, do you know the whereabouts of the three kingpins Gao Changyu? Or are they all still in the Imperial Family?"
Wang Chong frowned slightly.
"It stands to reason that these three jade stones should really be in the treasure house of Imperial Family, but senile old man knows a thing of the past."
"In the past Emperor Taizong Period, there was an Great General who was able to fight well and had outstanding achievements. In the absence of exchanges between Central Plains and Western Region already for nearly a hundred years, he first entered the Western Region and surrendered to Gao Changguo. Emperor Taizong was a joy in his heart, so When King Gaochang paid his tribute, he rewarded one of the three Gaochang jade to the Great General. This should be the only Wang Gaochang jade that has been passed on. "
The old jadesmith smiled.
"Great General!"
On the other side, Wang Chong is not as happy as the old jadesmith. After hearing the words of the old jadesmith, his brows frowned instantly. In the words that the old jadesmith said, the only thing he remembered was the word "Great General". At that moment, his eyes blinked, and countless thoughts flew past his mind.
"Lao, do you remember the name of the rewarded Great General?"
Wang Chong suddenly said. In a word, the atmosphere inside the hall suddenly changed, and Zhang Que raised his head sharply, looking at the old jadesmith in front of him, his expression was extremely concentrated.
Although I don't know why Lord King asked about this, but following Wang Chong for so long, Zhang Que has long understood that Wang Chong will never be targeted, and he must have asked this for a reason.
"It's ... it's been a long time, and senile old man can't remember too clear Chu, but this one seems to be one of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion."
The old jadesmith frowned, as if trying to remember, but what he said made Wang Chong's heart shake. There was a feeling in his mind that I was afraid that already was approaching the truth.
"By the way, senile old man seems to remember that his name is Hou ... By the way, it is Hou Junji! It is a well-known broken army War God in the Taizong era!"
Hearing the words of the old jadesmith, Wang Chong was lost in thought and didn't speak for a long time.
The old jadesmith left quickly, but for Wang Chong, the few words he said were the biggest progress in this period.
"Lord King, according to the old jadesmith, Hou Junji should be a character from a hundred years ago, shouldn't it be the person we are investigating? Is it possible that two other kings in the palace, Gao Changyu, came out?"
Zhang Que asked.
"Don't rush to the conclusion first. The twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion at that time all had paintings and graphics, and were placed in Lingyan Pavilion by Emperor Taizong for future generations to observe. Zhang Que, you take my hand The person who asked the Guozijian, I would like some copies of Linyan Pavilion's twenty-four heroic portraits. In addition, you should find a way to find the Taifu Qing Yang Zhao in the palace. He is in charge of the national treasury and should know the other two kings, Gao Chang Whether jade is still in the palace. "
Wang Chong thoughtfully.
It is difficult to find any useful clues based on a portrait of an ancient jade, but knowing that this ancient jade is a tribute to the ancient Gaochang Kingdom, and there are only three in the world, then everything is completely different. In this regard, as long as Yang Zhao, who holds the post of Tai Fuqing, is found, everything will come naturally.
I am afraid that these precious tributes in Imperial Palace are no more familiar than Yang Zhao.
The Wang Chong's survey soon came to fruition. The first response was from Yang Zhao. Wang Chong just sent someone to inquire, only one hour is not available, and Yang Zhao has a reply:
The piece of jade that Wang Chong is looking for really belongs to Wang Pin Gao Changyu. Except that one piece is unknown, the other two pieces are all in the secret house of Imperial Palace, and are included in the Top Level tribute, which can not easily be rewarded. And according to Yang Zhao investigation, these two pieces of Gaochang ancient jade have been sealed from existence since the Taizong era, and have never moved.
And shortly after this news, the portraits of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion immediately fell into the hands of Wang Chong, and the other heroes stopped, but when Wang Chong saw the portraits of the broken army War God Hou Junji, The whole man suddenly froze.
The characters in the portrait are very strange at first glance, and seem to have nothing to do with their own investigation, but seeing the scar on the young face, a scream roaring in the mind of Wang Chong, it seemed to understand instantly What happened.
"It really is him!"
A stone stirs up thousands of waves, and within a short time, Wang Chong suddenly rises in the mind. The broken army War God on this portrait is much younger than the Ghost King I saw. The two look very different, but the location, shape, and size of the scar are almost the same.
More importantly, although the two faces are of different ages, if you look closely, they have at least seven or eight similarities.
Although it seems incredible, this is exactly the most likely explanation.
"Impossible, this is impossible! How can a person live for such a long time, and he is not already dead?"
After reading the news from the investigation, Zhang Que turned his head and looked at Wang Chong, his face was unbelievable.
According to the investigation, Hou Junji used his soldiers as gods. In his life, he went through hundreds of battles, almost without defeat, and all of them successfully defeated his opponents.
According to the information obtained from the investigation, Hou Junji ’s method of acting in the War God is completely different from that of other generals. He leads the battle and has always resorted to unscrupulous methods. He only asks the results and does not ask about the process, which is precisely the most difficult opponent to deal with.
But I do n’t know why. Many of the news about Hou Junji have come to an end. Once detailed details and important parts are involved, they are all unknown. In his life records, there are large blanks, and even the content that the historian should record according to Intrisic Principle is very vague, as if someone is deliberately hiding something.
Knowing oneself and knowing one another can only lead to victory and defeat. Based on these data, it is difficult for Wang Chong to infer more information.
"Maybe it's time to meet Master!"
in a flash, a thought crossed his mind, Wang Chong thought of a person in his heart.
Although the information received is incomplete, as if someone was deliberately covering something, Wang Chong also found an unexpected clue from the collected information.
Breaking Army War God Hou Junji, and Master Great Tang / Military God Su Zhengchen belong to the same era. They are both famous officials of the Taizong era, and Hou Junji's reputation is almost second only to Su Zhengchen. From this point of view, there is a great probability that the two have had intersections, even very familiar.
upheaval of three kings, Ghost King next to First Imperial Prince plays an extremely important role. There is no accident. He is still helping First Imperial Prince to plan various conspiracy tricks. Even the assassination of King Song is very likely to be inseparable from him.
If you want to know his flaws and his working style, I'm afraid I have to meet Master Su Zhengchen once.
...
At night, there is silence in Sue.
It is still the same old place. On a short square table is a purple sand teapot. The teapot is steaming, and a strong tea fragrance pervades the back garden.
After listening to Wang Chong's, Su Zhengchen held a teacup and took a sip, and the whole person was lost in thought.
Wang Chong's's visit was undoubtedly a surprise to him. He lived a long time and has gone through several generations of kings. Even the Emperor Taizong of Yingming God Martial has been ancientized, not to mention others. To this day, those familiar people and things around me are long gone existence.
So when Wang Chong asked the three words Hou Junji, Su Zhengchen was obviously a little unexpected or even touched.
More than that, when Wang Chong asked Hou Junji, he clearly saw that Su Zhengchen's eyes fluctuated a bit, which is completely different from before.
"Can you give me another look at the portrait of that ancient jade?"
Su Zhengchen suddenly said.
Wang Chong didn't say much, and quickly passed the drawing paper, while Su Zhengchen faced the drawing paper, his brows frowned, and he kept silent for a long time.
"I can't think of him!"
After a long time, Su Zhengchen sighed and finally said:
"There will be nothing wrong. This Gaochang ancient jade precisely was rewarded to Hou Junji by Emperor Taizong. There is a black bird pattern on the jade, and precisely was the flag of Hou Junji at that time!"
Su Zhengchen said while pointing at the black black bird patterns on the ancient jade portrait. Looking at the world, there is no better understanding of the Taizong era than Su Zhengchen in this era.
"Hou Junji was born in the noble name gate, but was one of the tactical generals who followed Emperor Taizong in the early days. Emperor Taizong trusted him very much and gave him the name" Little White Ape. "The black mysterious bird was taboo, not members of Imperial Family. , But Emperor Taizong made an exception to Hou Junji, and his compliments on Hou Junji, look at the whole field, second to none! "
"Hou Junji did not live up to Taizong's expectations. Since following Taizong's battle, Hou Junji has repeatedly provided clever strategies and built countless merits. However, what is most powerful about Hou Junji is not his powerful Art of War ability, and It is his extraordinary learning ability. "
