The once prosperous Ning and Rong Manors suddenly had only two males, Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu, left. The other males had all passed away for various reasons a few years ago. This was undoubtedly the strangest thing about Ye Qiu.
The reason why the system had arranged for Ye Qiu to be the teacher of the Jia residence was not just because there were many beautiful women in the Jia residence. It was just that Little Butterfly was still in a deep sleep, so Ye Qiu could only rely on himself and Diao Chan to investigate the Jia residence.
This investigation allowed Ye Qiu to discover something extraordinary.
The underground of the Jia Residence was actually hollow.
Moreover, this underground hollow was not small at all. It was not even the territory of the Jia residence.
After the Ning and Rong Manors had experienced a great change, the remaining people moved out to the current Jia Manor. They explained to the outside world that it was because they were reminded of the scenery. The original two manors had been in a semi-abandoned state, and gradually, no one paid attention to them.
He left behind a few old soldiers who had originally followed the Jia family to stay there to support their old age and to look after them. The servant girls also followed him.
This caused the entire Jia residence to be filled with women. Otherwise, how could a Duke who had fought on the battlefield not have a guard?
From the looks of it now, it was probably intentional, afraid that these old foxes who had been on the battlefield would discover something.
With the strength of these women in the Jia residence, they basically did not have any cultivation. If they wanted to do something, it was the most convenient.
And Jia Yuanchun suddenly became a noble consort from a small talent, and even visited his relatives in a hurry, there must be something behind it.
With the protection of the Grand View Garden built by Concubine Yuan, no one would notice anything big.
"Husband, Shangjing has already been rebuilt once. Back then, Dajin was also an empire. Later on, it was at its peak and declined. It was attacked by the Great Ming and Great Song. Shangjing was almost destroyed. In the end, it was only by bribing the Great Song General Pan Renmei that it caused internal strife between the Great Ming and Great Song allied forces.”
Diao Chan snuggled in Ye Qiu's arms, giving him some history knowledge.
Ever since Shangjing had almost fallen, Dajin had almost fallen apart. It had only survived by ceding land, and the Wanyan clan had been questioned by many Jurchen nobles whether they still had the right to rule Dajin.
The current Aisin Gioro family also stood out in decades of disputes before they replaced the Wanyan family and changed the loose system of the tribal alliance into a unified system. Therefore, they were called the Houjin.
The Wanyan clan that had ruled Dajin for hundreds of years had already become history in the decades of bloodshed. The current Wanyan wangye fu was still randomly found from the branch family, but it was just a puppet to show off.
Before the Wanyan Clan was destroyed, they had already sent a large number of young elites to various countries to hide under false names, leaving behind enough capital for the younger generation to revive, which was the so-called Wanyan Secret Treasury.
After all, the imperial family had ruled an empire for hundreds of years. Even the other empires would find it difficult not to be tempted by the backup plan left behind.
"You mean that the underground project of the Jia residence might be related to Wanyan's secret treasure?”Ye Qiu asked curiously. He wondered how the entire Warrick's Secret Treasury would compare to Great Sui's Eunuch Yang's Treasure House.
No matter what, he was still a member of the royal family. It shouldn't be too bad, right?
This was good news for Ye Qiu, who currently lacked manpower and money.
The Houjin Kingdom was a war-torn land and bordered the Ming, Song, Yuan, and Sui empires. Although it was no longer as brave as it was in the past, it was still an excellent place to start.
The Great Song had always been weak. Now, facing the pressure of the Great Yuan, it was even more difficult for it to protect itself by relying on the natural barrier of Xiangyang. Since the Great Sui split from the Great Tang, it was almost the same as the Later Jin Dynasty. The Great Ming Dynasty was strong, but the Six Dragons Competition for the throne involved a lot of energy. Even the wise Zhu Chongjiu had to make a secret decree that the first person to take the Great Jin Dynasty would be the Crown Prince to attract the firepower outside the Great Ming Dynasty. It was really difficult for the Great Ming Dynasty to hold on.
Zhu Di, the King of Yan, Zhu Yunwen, the eldest grandson of the Emperor, Zhu Bujue, Zhu Yijun, Zhu Youtang, and Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han, were all outstanding talents who had made great contributions to the development of the Ming Dynasty in recent years. However, Zhu Zhong was already nine years old and his position was uncertain, which had become the biggest hidden danger.
The King of Yan guarded the border and commanded hundreds of thousands of troops. The Iron Gutsy Divine Marquis shocked the martial arts world of Ming Dynasty. The intelligence agency of the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa spread all over the world. He was also the number one master of Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yunwen inherited the civil service system inherited by his father. The other three kings also had their own military achievements and power. When they fought the world, it could be said that they worked together to create the Ming Dynasty legend. However, if they divided the world now, it would be a disaster.
After all, everyone had contributed to the Ming Dynasty. Why could you be the emperor and I can't? Zhu Zhongjiu could still suppress it, but now that Zhu Zhongjiu was old, he was about to die. Everyone was starting to lose control.
Zhu Zhongjiu was no longer the Zhu Zhongjiu of the past. He had begun to believe in the art of alchemy. Not only was he hot-tempered, but he had also killed many of the meritorious officials who had fought together with him in the past. Even his sons and grandchildren who had caused trouble had suffered a lot.
It could be said that even Zhu Chongjiu had to be wary of the remaining six kings to survive.
Under such circumstances, losing the position of Crown Prince was equivalent to losing his life. The first thing the person who finally got the cake would do was to kill the others first.
In any case, the external environment of the Great Ming Dynasty was not bad at the moment. The only enemy, Dayuan, was still fighting with the Great Song Dynasty. No matter who it was, as long as they could sit on the throne and spend a few years to reorganize their internal affairs, they could open up to the outside world again.
It could be said that the current Houjin, if not for the Six Great Ming Kings pulling each other back, would have long been in a situation where the army was already at the city gates.
The Jia family's actions at this time were not surprising. After all, if they could get the legendary Wanyan's secret treasure, it would definitely increase the chances of victory for the Houjin who was about to face a big war.
