Chapter 16 Notes on Restoration(1/2)
It was already late at night, and Ning Fu was lying on the bed without any sleepiness.
Before Liu Zheng left today, he chatted with Ning Fu for a while.
The main purpose is to tell Ning Fu some news about the descendants of Chai Rong of Zhou Shizong.
Chai Rong had a total of seven sons, and the first three died in the war.
The fourth son was named Chai Zongxun. He ascended the throne at the age of seven. After being the emperor for half a year, Zhao Kuangyin usurped the throne.
At that time, Zhao Weiyin did not kill him, but Chai Zongxun died inexplicably when he lived to the age of twenty. But his son survived.
The little whirlwind Chai Jin in the Water Margin later generations was a descendant of Chai Zongxun.
Chai Rong's sixth and seventh sons were also adopted and their surnames were changed.
The above three branches had long given up their fantasies and honestly became the Shunminister of the Song Dynasty. Even these three branches had people serving as officials in the court. Even if the Zhao family knew their background, they would not have any thoughts of being prepared.
Only Ning Fu is determined to restore the country.
Unfortunately, Ning's father was very ambitious and talented. When he was young, he failed to rebel and failed all the accumulated family business.
Ning Fu also completely became the son of a thief.
"Isn't it good to be a rich man honestly?"
Ning Fu said as he sat up.
Ning Fu, who is familiar with history, has long known that although the people's uprisings in the Northern Song Dynasty continued, none of them succeeded. Fang La and Song Jiang, the most powerful, also ended in failure.
"There is no way out for rebellion!"
Ning Fu whispered again, then lifted the bedding, revealing a secret lattice on the bedboard.
Opening the dark grid, Ning Fu took out a small box made of pure iron, with a dark lock on it.
Ning Fu pulled open his clothes, took off the fish-shaped key hanging around his neck, inserted the fish tail into the keyhole and turned it gently, and the box opened in response.
This small box is inherited from the Ning family. It is said that it was brought out from the Later Zhou Palace. Only the fish-shaped key on Ning Fu's neck can be opened. Of course, the key was handed over to him before Ning's father passed away.
There is only one gold seal in the box.
Ning Fu picked up the seal, and the four words "King of Cao" were engraved on the small seal on the bottom, and Cao Wang was also the title of Ning Fu's great-grandfather.
Ning Fu weighed the golden seal, which was very valuable. If it was made into a golden cake, it should be exchanged for a lot of money.
"After all, it's a great antique, and it's a pity to make it into a golden cake!"
Ning Fu whispered to himself, then put the golden seal back.
"Dong!"
Ning Fu was stunned, feeling that the sound of the golden seal put into the box seemed to be wrong?
So Ning Fu took out the golden seal and tapped the bottom of the box with his fingers. Sure enough, he found that the bottom seemed empty.
"There is another layer!"
Ning Fu was delighted and felt like he had found a treasure!
So Ning Fu reached out and fumbled at the edge of the bottom, and soon found a very thin thread.
Ning Fu pinched the thread and pulled it gently. A thin plate at the bottom was opened, revealing a flat interlayer below, and a book was quietly lying inside.
"There's something really!"
Ning Fu was extremely happy. Could this be the treasure left by his ancestors to restore the country, Hyogo and the like?
Thinking of this, Ning Fu reached out and took out the booklet, which was as thick as a dictionary.
I saw four big words "Repair Notes" written on the cover of the booklet.
"This word..."
Ning Fu looked at the words on the cover but frowned, because the words were written in a crooked manner, which made him feel a strong sense of familiarity.
When I opened the booklet, I saw a paragraph written on the first page in dog-like words:
Since the failure of the uprising, I have been willing to risk the risk of sneaking into Tokyo, slept with firewood and tasted gall to seek revenge. One day, I will stab the pseudo-Song Emperor under the sword!
Under this passage, there is also a small children's graffiti painting.
Ning Fu carefully identified it for a long time and finally realized that it was a man holding a sword.
Another villain was lying on the ground and was stabbed by a sword. If you look closely, it seemed that the villain was wearing something on his head, which should be a crown representing the emperor.
Looking at the words and paintings on this page, Ning Fu was unable to complain. It was indeed the work of his father.
To be honest, although Ning Fu's word is a bit ugly, the previous paragraph is still very impressive. Unfortunately, the children's graffiti behind completely destroys the momentum in the sentence.
Holding the shame in his heart, Ning Fu turned the second page.
There is still a passage and a picture on this page.
I woke up from my dream. When I thought of my brother dying in the chaos, I couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears. If I had been willing to listen to my brother's words, why would I fall to this point?
The picture below is more abstract, as if a group of monsters with fangs and claws were chasing two people.
One of them held a snake spear, and of course it might be a long spear with a curled gun, blocking it alone in front of the monster, and winning the chance to escape for the other.
"The monster should be the pursuer of the court. I didn't expect that I had an uncle, but unfortunately I couldn't escape."
Ning Fu shook his head with emotion and then turned down.
The following content is varied, with all kinds of miscellaneous things and thoughts.
It can be seen that when Ning's father first arrived in the capital, he lived a leisurely life and should have brought a lot of money.
For example, there is a record of several consecutive days:
On the third day of the second month, Wazi watched the show.
On the fourth day of the second month, watch the show.
On the fifth day of the second month, watch the show.
On the sixth day of the second month, Ning Zhou, Ning Zhou! How could you fall so depraved! Have you forgotten the hatred of the country that destroyed? You can’t fall like this anymore! You have to cheer up!
On the seventh day of the second month, watch the show.
...
Ning Fu felt that he was poisoned. Although the things on the book were full of terrible things, he couldn't stop trying to continue reading.
The content behind is even more messy, and some time spans are very large.
For example, there is a record of Ning Fu's birth, and the next record shows that Ning Fu played with fire at the age of five and almost burned his home.
“Huh~”
When Ning Fu turned to the back, he suddenly saw a familiar name, Aunt Wang next door.
The Prince of the Cake Shop is my beloved concubine. Unfortunately, I am getting older and there is no hope of restoring the country. My son will succeed in restoring the country in the future. I will definitely respect the Prince of the Prince as the Queen Mother of the Great Zhou!
"It's a solid reputation, Hutou and I are indeed half-brothers!"
Ning Fu couldn't help but pat the table.
Below is a portrait of Aunt Wang, wearing a red wedding dress.
It can be seen that Ning's father's painting skills have improved greatly in recent years, and he painted Aunt Wang's heroic posture with a strong back and a bear's waist with a charm.
Ning Fu turned the page again and saw a familiar name again.
Liu Jindao, my mortal enemy in the second half of my life, is a fat man, and he is despicable and wants to interfere with my relationship with the princess. His heart can be killed. In the future, my son ascended the throne and his three clans will be punished!
However, after the two words "Three Clans", several "add 1" were written in succession.
So it becomes "should you punish the three clans by adding 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1."
Ning counted it a little more, and it happened to be seven "added 1".
"Three plus seven equals ten, isn't this going to kill the ten clans?"
Ning Fu was speechless. He was almost certain that his father first wrote about killing the three clans, but every time Liu Jindao provoked him in the future, he would write "add 1" in the back, and finally he became what he is now.
As usual, there is a portrait of Liu Jindao under the text. The person in the painting is dark and ugly, as if he ran out of a corner of Africa.
"Huh? It's a little wrong!"
Ning Fu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he immediately re-readed the entire notes, but in the end he still couldn't find what he was looking for.
"There is no record of Liu Zheng!"
Ning Fu whispered in surprise, Liu Zheng was the Grand Master of the Great Zhou Dynasty whom Ning's father said to be the emperor. It should be recorded in this note!
Ning Fu, who was unwilling to give up, read through the notes again.
Finally, he discovered that some pages of the book were torn off in the middle of the notes, and the total number of pages may be as many as dozens of pages.
"I see!"
Ning Fu suddenly realized that it must have been after the Liu family broke off the engagement. His father thought that Liu Zheng had betrayed him, so he tore off all the records about Liu Zheng in anger.
Ning Fu could almost imagine a picture.
