The change of Chengtian Gate, in just five short words, represents the heaviest history of the Dajin Dynasty in the past two hundred years, and is regarded by the world as a key turning point in the rise and fall of the Dajin Dynasty and the rise of foreign races again.

The eldest son of His Majesty the current emperor, the former crown prince Zhao Rui, rebelled for no reason and led seventeen rebels into the capital, intending to seek power and usurp the throne. He fought with the imperial guards, the Judgment Office, the Military and Horse Office, and the major families to worship the powerful, and launched a bloody battle lasting three days and three nights.

The final result was that Zhao Rui was defeated and was killed on the spot. None of the leaders of the seventeen rebels were spared and were beheaded. Five princes were implicated and were exiled to the distant border and never entered the capital in their lifetime.

After this battle, the entire Luoyang court was reshuffled and the military power was reintegrated. The Dajin Dynasty experienced the darkest and most chaotic period after Emperor Taizu's death.

Fortunately, although the current emperor is not as talented as Emperor Taizu and Emperor Gaozong, he is also considered a wise ruler. After a bloody battle, he issued thirty-two imperial orders one after another, surpassing the rules and comforting the people's hearts, and finally survived the most difficult days.

To date, a full 127 years have passed.

Xia Sheng sighed softly, closed the last page of history, raised his head, and realized that it was already dawn.

Overnight, I could have looked at the 500-year history of the rise and fall of the Dajin Dynasty. For ordinary people, I am afraid that I would have been overwhelmed in my mind, but that was not Xia Sheng.

At this time, his eyes were clear and his mind was calculating and analyzing quickly, trying to find what he wanted to find from the records in these historical books.

As the saying goes, it is better to have no books than to believe in books.

Even though what Xia Sheng was holding in his hand at this moment was the most objective and fair historical record in theory, he also understood one truth that history books have always been written by the winners.

Xia Sheng firmly believed that there must be too many truths that he could not see, which had been artificially buried in the abyss of history and would never be able to see the light.

But in a moment, Xia Sheng had already figured out some clues and chose four things that deserve his attention.

For example, in the early days of Emperor Taizu's rule, did the butcher knife raised by the seven sages of the bamboo forest really kill them? Are there any survivors? If so, where should Xia Sheng go to find these former brothers?

Five hundred years have passed, even if the old friend has left, what about their descendants?

For example, in Xia Sheng's view, the death of Emperor Gaozong also has great doubts. Even if such a great emperor died of wind and cold, why are there only a few dozen records in history books?

Also, on the surface, the change of Chengtian Gate is just a case of rebellion by the prince, but why are the other princes involved? More importantly, after the change of Chengtian Gate, why did Emperor Jinren order people to fill all the living springs outside Luoyang City?

What is the inevitable connection?

Finally, the reason why the name of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest can appear openly in historical records rather than using titles such as the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest is of course due to Emperor Jinren's rehabilitation of them. But the question is, it has been three or four hundred years since the incident, so why did Emperor Jinren do this?

He even slapped his ancestors with a loud slap!

In addition to the mystery of Emperor Gaozong's death, the other three can be said to be closely related to Xia Sheng. No matter what, he must find out the inside story.

Of course, this matter cannot be impatient, and you need to be careful. Otherwise, if you are not careful and make mistakes, you will lose everything and will never be able to recover.

But no matter what, at least Xia Sheng has found the most important thread from these complicated historical materials.

Or, the most critical person.

General Zhenguo, Xu Qiu was rebelled.

The Xu family is now listed as one of the nine major families of the Dajin Dynasty. It has the same transcendent status as the Ye family of the Marquis of Weining, the Qin family of Shantang, and the Gu family where Gu Zhixing is located.

Once upon a time, the Xu family had long been unable to afford to eat. Seeing that it was about to dissipate in the smoke of history, it was destroyed. However, it never thought that at the last moment of life and death, the head of the Xu family, Xu Qiuran, took out a treasure that made the world jealous.

Good copybooks!

This rewritten the fate of the entire family.

But if a wealthy family can be created with the help of the Shantang alone, then these nine families will be too worthless.

So the key is the opportunity to truly revive the Xu family.

It is the change of Chengtian Gate!

In the official history, Xu Qiuran played a very crucial role in the transformation of Chengtian Gate. One of the most prominent achievements was that he personally cut off the head of Prince Zhao Rui!

It was also after the Chengtian Gate Incident that the Xu family was reused by the emperor, and thus gradually became one of the nine famous families today!

Of course, this is actually not the only reason why Xia Sheng valued Xu Qiu's chaos so much.

Because in addition to the change of Chengtian Gate, Xia Sheng also discovered something very interesting.

This Xu family did not appear on the stage of history for the first time after the Chengtianmen rebellion. Long before that, the Xu family had experienced ups and downs, with three ups and downs, carrying the rise and fall of the entire Dajin Dynasty for hundreds of years. At its earliest times, it can even be traced back to the time when Emperor Taizu founded the country five hundred years ago!

what does that mean?

This means that the Xu family is likely to be closely related to Xu Bei, the Golden Armored Spirit Saint among the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest.

And this Xu Qiuran is likely to be a descendant of Xia Sheng’s old friend!

"It seems that I have to go to the town government, but it may be inappropriate to go so rashly, and I still need to find a reason..."

Xia Sheng's eyes flashed, and he was already thinking about it, but at this moment, there was a sound of knocking on the door outside the door.

Xia Sheng stood up, stacked the history books at hand, stepped out, opened the door, but found that it was Yun'er.

"I wonder if Mr. Xia has finished washing? The breakfast is ready, and the wife has been waiting in the front hall for a long time..."

Xia Sheng was stunned, then nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then let's go. By the way, where are my two friends?"

Yun'er replied respectfully: "Mr. Ning has already gone to the front hall."

"Well..." Xia Sheng responded, then followed Yun'er and headed towards the front hall.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the front of the hall one by one. Looking up, Mrs. Ye was sitting in the main seat, as if she was talking to Ning Zheng with a kind look, but she still didn't see Meng Qi.

Seeing Xia Sheng coming, Mrs. Ye stood up and waved to him with a smile: "Xiao Xia is here, come here, come here, sit down and have breakfast together. These are all famous breakfasts in Luoyang City. Come and try it."

Upon hearing this, Xia Sheng immediately subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
