"Oh! Divine Silver is a folk legend. It is usually used as a joke by everyone. Haven't you heard of it, dear brother?"

Zhang Bai shook his head.

Zhongli Mu said: "It is said that in the mountains of Yuzhang, there is a cave of the Shanyue people. The cave is rich in gold and silver, and its leader lives in it to guard it day and night. It is also said that as long as this cave is found, the Shanyue rebellion can be completely quelled. "

"Maybe it's really there. Why don't Enpei go dig and take a look?" Zhou Jun said narrowly.

"Yuan Liang is joking. This is a story imagined by the people of Soochow who longed to pacify Shanyue. Enpei cannot take it seriously." Zhong Limu quickly defended him.

Zhang Bai smiled and said: "How can Brother Yuan Liang's tricks fool me, a scoundrel? Don't worry, Ziqian."

All three laughed.

Zhang Bai stopped mentioning this matter on the surface, but his heart suddenly became lively.

The land of Yuzhang, including the western parts of Jiangxi and Zhejiang, is indeed rich in gold and silver mines according to the knowledge of previous lives.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, there were records of large-scale mining.There are many gold and silver mine sites left behind, such as the gold and silver associated mine in Suichang, the Mengshan silver mine in Shanggao, and the huge Dexing Yinshan silver mine.

Among them, the Suichang gold and silver associated mine is an artificial cave. There is no record in history. It was not until later generations excavated the ruins that it was discovered that it was probably mined secretly in history.

Among them, Suichang is the closest to Wu County. There may be such a Shanyue cave.

That day, as the party was coming to an end, Zhang Bai accidentally asked about Chen Zuo.

In the Dongwanggong Mansion, the closest peer to him at that time was Chen Zuo. Instead of looking down on Zhang Bai, he valued his family character very much and even tried to win over Zhang Bai for the future revitalization of the Han Dynasty.

In those days when he was treated as trash, Chen Zuo's actions were unforgettable for Zhang Bai.

"If you are thinking about him, then you have a conscience. Chen Xuanji is in Jianye, and Zi Qiang and I have just met him." Zhou Jun said.

"Oh!" Zhang Bai became interested.

"Senior Brother Xuanji is not in Wei State, why did he come to Soochow?"

"He is the messenger. Cao Pi and Lord Wu have been exchanging letters frequently recently. I think they are about to go to war again."

It's not a rough idea. According to the historical process, in July 224 AD, Cao Pi went south for the second time and stationed troops in the north of the Yangtze River.It was not until September that the dragon boat capsized in the wind, and then he retreated in anger.

"Cao Pi is also considered a great hero of the generation. Everyone knows that he wants to send his army south. It seems that Senior Brother Xuanji is valued by Cao Wei."

"These words between the two of you are not a clear discussion. How about we get together in private after a clear discussion?" Zhongli Mu said.

Zhang Bai and Zhou Jun both agreed immediately.

In the evening of that day, at the end of the conference, Zhang Bai asked for leave to his second brother Zhang Zhi and explained the whole story.

Zhang Zhi specially invited Zhou Jun and Zhong Limu to meet. After chatting, he learned that Zhou Jun was Zhou Yu's nephew and Zhong Limu was the youngest son of Zhong Lizu, the captain of the ship in the East Wu Dynasty.

He was very satisfied and felt that he had achieved his goal by bringing Zhang Bai out, so he readily agreed to Zhang Bai's reunion with his friends.

The three of them found a clean restaurant, booked a private room, and drank and chatted.

During the banquet, the door was closed and everyone in Soochow discussed everything.

Zhang Bai specifically asked about the situation of Ji Yan and Xu Biao. After hearing this, Zhou Jun and Zhong Limu sighed.It is said that although these two people are upright and have good moral character, they act radically.Someone from each family of Zhou, Lu, and Gu secretly advised him.

It's a pity that they are stubborn and don't accept it. They continue to impeach and go straight.

Among them, Sun Shao and Wang Jing were most targeted.Sun Shao was a native of Beihai, Qingzhou, and the current prime minister of Soochow.Wang Jing was a native of Guangling, Xuzhou, and served as the governor of Poyang.

Sun Shao was Sun Quan's confidant and was deeply trusted, so there was no problem, but Wang Jing died miserably.

Wang Jing was also impeached because he was instigated by Cao Wei to cause chaos in the county under his rule. Although he tried his best to express his feelings, he was unable to escape in the end.In a panic, he made a secret plan and planned to return to the north. However, the incident was exposed, affecting the whole family, and even the babies in the family were killed.

This incident shows that Sun Quan is strict. Once he belittles someone, he will no longer trust him. Even if he is temporarily retained, he will eventually be cut off.

Leaving aside Sun Quan, among them, Ji Yan and Xu Biao specifically targeted the people crossing from the south to the north. They were also very short-lived and made people shake their heads.In addition, the two men recently ejected hundreds of officials, severely interrogated Ren Zilang, and got it on the head of military commanders. For a while, every family was in danger.

The so-called Ren Zilang is a system for selecting officials.It has been around since the early years of the Han Dynasty, that is, senior officials can send their adult children to the capital as princes, called "Renzi".

Soochow was an era where general power and imperial power went hand in hand.The generals of Wu State sacrificed their lives on the battlefield and made great achievements, and Sun Quan rewarded them politically.

Therefore, this system of appointing sons became more common in the Soochow Dynasty, and big families generally had appointed sons.Among them, the local wealthy families are not too eager, but for many military general families who come from poor families, this son-in-law system is a taboo that cannot be touched.

However, all this changed in the hands of Ji Yan and Xu Biao, and the foundation of the military general's family was shaken.

Speaking of this matter, Zhou Jun and Zhong Limu both shook their heads.

Both of them came from aristocratic families, and because of their deep family roots, they didn't care much about the Renzi system, but those generals, especially those from Nandu, must have hated it.

Both believed that Ji Yan and Xu Biao were in danger.

Just as he was getting excited, Zhong Limu suddenly thought of something and asked Zhang Bai: "Enpei's eldest brother Zhang Taifu is now on the front line in Yuzhang. Do you have letters to and from Jianye on weekdays?"

Zhang Bai's face was solemn, "I am worried about this matter. I have reminded my second brother Zhang Zhi before that I must give advice to my eldest brother. Do not lie in letters, and do not leave evidence in previous letters. But..."

"I hope I have not worried too much. After all, the elders are used to experiencing accidents and are better than us when it comes to political affairs. Just listen to them." Zhou Jun said.

Then, they talked about the East Prince's Mansion, but none of the three people knew much about the recent situation in the East Prince's Mansion.

Zhang Bai escaped more than two years ago, and since the introduction of the Blood Ming Sect to the East Prince's Mansion, the children of these aristocratic families have left one after another because they do not want to join in the same trend.

In this regard, the Blood Ming Sect did not stop them. After all, these disciples were all low-level cultivators from the outer sect. They were only dispensable to the Dongwang Palace and the Blood Ming Sect.

So Zhang Bai changed the topic again, "Since the two brothers have met Senior Brother Chen recently, I wonder if they can talk about world affairs with him? What is Cao Wei's current trend?"

"Of course we talked about it, but he refused to say more, and we couldn't press him. You also know that Xuanji has great ambitions and is by no means a thing in the pond. Now he is living under someone else's roof, whether he is in the Chen family or in Cao Wei. It’s walking on thin ice.”

"I see!"

"I always feel," Zhongli Mu said, "Brother Xuanji seems to be planning something? Besides, his promotion has been too fast recently."

Zhang Bai was stunned when he heard this. In history, had Chen Zuo been a high-ranking official in Cao Wei?

Sure enough, the historical line has changed, and Zhang Bai felt uneasy.

Because of Shu's participation, many historical facts have changed drastically.If he could prevent the Jianyan case from happening or save the Zhang family, then the history of Wu State would also change.

As for Cao Wei, he hasn't gone there yet, and it seems that things have changed.
