Chapter 821: The silk of the first emperor (1)
The sudden disappearance of the first emperor shocked the officials.
He was shocked and a little regretful.
The first emperor was the Emperor of the ages. When he was alive, even if he abdicated, no one dared to have the slightest intention of rebelling.
Even half a year after his death, the other countries still had the attitude of submitting to him.
One could see the world’s desire to submit to the first emperor.
At that time, all the countries were afraid of the first emperor, but the people were proud to have him.
Now, Emperor Shi’s true body was not rotten and was regarded as the incarnation of God.
People from all countries came to congratulate him.
Now that the first emperor had suddenly disappeared, how could they not feel regretful?
It would be an honor to be able to look up to such an ancient Emperor.
At this moment, all the officials knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times respectfully, sending off the Emperor of all ages.
Lulu had been listless the whole time, and she looked dazed as she leaned into Lu huaijiang’s arms.
Ever since Lu huaijiang entered the mausoleum, he had been in a daze and would be in a trance from time to time.
The first emperor had clearly left, but he still felt that the first emperor still existed.
It was this kind of intuition.
“There’s nothing in that room. It might be a quiet room. The first emperor advocates longevity, so it’s very likely that he’s cultivating in seclusion here.” The officials followed behind the Emperor and took a look at the mausoleum.
Lu huaijiang bent down and picked up the little girl. The ministers frowned, but seeing that the eight-year-old girl was still childish, they were relieved.
“This isn’t a quiet room, it should be a painting room.” Lu huaijiang stood at the door of the stone room.
All the officials glanced at the Emperor. This was clearly the result of several days of discussion among the great confucians.
Looking at the decorations, it was clearly a quiet room.
Lu huaijiang carried Lulu into the stone room.
“There’s only a stone table and two stone stools inside. Other than that, there’s nothing else. If this isn’t a cultivation room, what could it be?” The great confucians didn’t dare to refute His Majesty, but their expressions showed that they didn’t believe him.
Art studios were usually located at Windows with excellent ventilation and beautiful scenery.
This place was completely sealed off, and it didn’t look like a place for drawing.
Lu huaijiang did not say anything. It was clearly his first time here, but he seemed to be extremely familiar with it.
Carrying Lulu in one arm, he walked to the corner of the stone room, to an inconspicuous corner at the bottom right of the entrance.
Lu huaijiang raised his eyebrows and walked to the corner, using his shoes to measure three steps.
Then, he squatted down and put Lulu down. He bent his fingers and tapped the ground lightly.
Dong …
Thump thump.
“It’s empty. Your Majesty, it’s empty inside.” Eunuch Lu’s face was filled with shock. The Emperor was walking straight towards the corner. Did he really not know in advance?
“How, how can it be empty? A few days ago, the guards had already searched for secret passages or mechanisms.”
The local officials were shocked. How did His Majesty know?
Lu huaijiang clapped his hands,”he’s a person who’s extremely good at mechanical arithmetic.” It would be impossible to find it directly. You have to step on the same floor tiles.” Just now, he had walked around and stepped on the floor tiles.
Everyone was even more surprised.
They saw His Majesty squatting on the ground and lifting a corner of the floor tile.
Because it had always been sealed, although the silk inside had lost its color, it was still intact.
“It’s silk, this is really a painting room. It was Emperor Shi’s art studio. This silk scroll is so well hidden, could it be a portrait of the person you like?” Grand tutor Xie’s expression changed. He was a civil official and the emperor’s teacher.
Over the years, the one who had studied the most was the Emperor of the ages.
On this trip, Grand tutor Xie’s entire face was covered in tears.
Now that he saw the silk, he was even more shocked.
