Chapter 190: History Has No Truth

The night in Fikela was extremely cold, and even Su Nian couldn't help but feel a chill all over his body when he was wearing a charming shoulder with air conditioning.

They lived in the house of an acquaintance here, and the acquaintance was, of course, Professor Wen's acquaintance.

The old man's name was Chen Xianguo, and he and Professor Wen were close friends when they were young, and later devoted themselves to the study of cultural relics at the same time.

It's just that Chen Xianguo suffered an accident in his early years, and the scientific expedition team was almost wiped out in Taklama, leaving him and another friend alone.

Since then, Chen Xianguo has begun to realize that it is not enough to simply have enthusiasm.

So he began to abandon archaeology and opened a shop specializing in expedition equipment here in Fikhara.

His purpose is simple, it is to provide enough protection for the people who come to Fikhara, so that they can avoid accidents as much as possible, and have a chance to survive in the desert.

Slowly, the fame of this adventure supplies store has also accumulated, and everyone knows that there is an Uncle Chen here who is a professional.

Wen Qing and Su Nian lived in Chen Xianguo's old man's house, the old man had no children and no daughters, and the home was very quiet.

However, looking at the room in front of him, Su Nian was a little helpless.

It's not that he's not used to how bad the room is, but it's good to have a place to stay in this place.

He was just worried that Wen Qing would not be able to stand it.

In particular, there is a bit of air leakage in the room, even if the stove is burned in the middle, people who are not in good health will definitely have problems sleeping all night.

She walked to Wen Qing's room and knocked lightly on the door.

After a while, Wen Qing opened the door, and Su Nian was even more speechless when she saw her.

Wen Qing's head was still steaming hot, wet, obviously washing his hair just now.

"You're really ......" Su Nian said, "I'm still worried that you're too cold, aren't you looking for a cold when you wash your hair now?"

Wen Qing smiled and said, "I'm not so expensive, it's just that after blowing the wind for a long time, I felt that my hair was full of sand, and I really washed out half a basin of sand." ”

Su Nian sighed and said, "Remember to wrap your hair after washing." ”

"Got it, why didn't I find out that you looked like an old mother before?" Wen Qing said helplessly.

looked at the stove in Wen Qing's room, picked the stove to the most vigorous, and told Wen Qing how to press the stove at night.

The two of them sat next to the stove, and Wen Qing was curious: "Have you ever had a stove before?"

Su Nian nodded: "A long time ago, the teachers in the welfare home all made stoves, and I was the one in charge of watching the stoves at that time. ”

"Furnace Chief?"

Su Nian was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Yes, furnace chief." ”

didn't stay long, Su Nian left, and when he went out, he met the meaningful smile of the old man Chen Xianguo, and Su Nian was speechless for a while.

However, Su Nian still had something to inquire about with the old man.

Sitting next to the stove, Su Nian casually asked, "How many years has Grandpa Chen been here?"

Outside, Chen Xianguo is called Uncle Chen by everyone, but Su Nian has to talk about it from Wen Qing and Professor Wen, and he has to be a higher generation.

Chen Xianguo looked at the fire, thought for a while and said, "How many years, more than forty years, right?"

"I heard that Grandpa Chen used to be an archaeological expert who studied the civilization of the Western Regions, I wonder if you have heard of the Kingdom of Gamo?"

"...... Gamo" seems to have passed too long, the old man Chen Xianguo thought for a long time, and shook his head gently: "I can't think of it for a while, do you have any characteristics of this country?"

Su Nian said: "It was probably established in the Western Regions during the Qin Dynasty, and because it was secretly attacked by Qin and died, the totem is a fat and fat moth. ”

"Oh!" Chen Xianguo slapped his thigh: "I remember! You mean the legendary country that has the ability to see through the future and the past?"

"Yes, that's it. Su Nian said, "Do you know Grandpa Chen?"

Chen Xianguo said: "I know about the same as you, but I have indeed been to see the ruins that the latter two discovered." ”

"What's in there?"

"Nothing. Chen Xianguo shook his head: "This time the news is really not deceiving, there is really nothing in it, but there are many things that are not reported on the news." ”

"For example?"

"For example......" The old man smiled, looked at Su Nian and said, "For example, why is there not even a single thing left in the relics of a country?

Su Nian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood: "Looting!"

Chen Xianguo nodded and said, "It's better to say, it's more like copying." It was a very clean, very orderly plunder, most likely carried out by the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty. ”

"In other words, it is likely that in history, the Qin Dynasty wanted something good, so it destroyed Gamor?"

Of course, there can be such speculation, and it cannot be ruled out that it was a whim after the destruction of Jialuo, or that there was such a bad habit among some Qin Dynasty troops that is not currently recorded. ”

The old man said: "Actually, I am also more inclined to the first type, but we are engaged in research, everything must find evidence to be conclusive, history does not have a complete clue for you to touch, and most things do not have the truth at all." ”

"Then is it possible that Qin Shi Huang learned the secret of the Gamo Kingdom and then ......"

The old man Chen Xianguo shook his head: "To be honest, there are indeed errors in the understanding of Qin Shi Huang in history. ”

Su Nian nodded, he had understood it before.

Many of the images of the first emperor in history were formed in the Han Dynasty, and as a successor and enemy, the Han's description of the Qin Emperor was partially embellished except for those things that could not be denied.

Chen Xianguo said: "Whether Qin Shi Huang asked for immortal alchemy or not, this is probably possible. But the level of education of that era, you must know, even the emperor could not have enough vision. ”

Qin Shi Huang may have been a great statesman, military strategist, ruler, and careerist, but that also led to his limitations to some extent. ”

"It's like now, many intellectuals, don't they also have to be fooled by liars? This situation exists in modern times, and of course it was even more serious in ancient times. ”

"Ancient alchemists and warlocks, most of them have some deceptive nature, not to mention when alchemy immortality began to appear, let's just say that the liars themselves may be difficult to ride a tiger. ”

"Of course, this also has to be adjusted according to the way of thinking and values of the people at that time, and it is not said that Qin Huang is not wrong, but Qin Huang was deceived once, will he be deceived a second time?"

"Or, have you ever thought that Xu Fu went to find an overseas immortal mountain, and then stayed in Yingzhou, why did they say that Xu Fu deceived Emperor Qin?

"Our research just says that Emperor Qin sent Xu Fu to take the boy and girl to look for overseas immortal mountains, and Xu Fu went and then did not come back, which is a fact without any reason. ”

"But there can't be only one possibility for the reason, is there any possibility? It is that Emperor Qin found out that these people were lying to him, but as an emperor, he can't admit the fact that he was deceived, and then ......"

"Xu Fu has been exiled!" Su Nian said.

The old man Chen Xianguo nodded: "Therefore, if a matter is really only recorded on the surface, we can find all kinds of different reasons, and these reasons may not be the truth, we can only look for the one closest to the truth." ”

"Nagamo ......"

"Maybe it's Zhao Gao and Hu Hai? Maybe it's Fusu?"

Chen Jianguo smiled: "Have you ever noticed that most of the princes who died early in history are all Wei Guangzheng in the records." ”

Su Nian was stunned, he was not an expert in history, but he really didn't know.

Chen Jianguo said: "For example, when we talked about Fusu, when we mentioned Fusu, everyone's impression was that of an embryo of a virtuous emperor, as well as Zhu Biao, the eldest son of Zhu Yuanzhang. ”

"Let's not talk about whether these people are really virtuous, let's just say that this phenomenon is most likely due to the bias of historical records and later revisions. ”

"Even now, with reliable artifacts, we still can't be sure what history was like, or even decades ago. ”

Not to mention the ancient era of oral transmission and fragile book records. ”

"Either because the history is vague, or because it can be modified, like the records of the Qin Emperor, these are modified by the necessity of the social environment at the time. ”

Of course, these princes are also included. ”

"Are they really virtuous? Not necessarily. Isn't it wise? You can't say that. ”

"We can only say that it is not clear, whether there is evidence or not. But the fact that there are so many of the same things that at least says a little bit about it. ”

That is, when a person in the center of power dies early before he can participate in the struggle for power, he will definitely leave a glorious record. ”

"On the one hand, it doesn't matter how glorious they are, people are dead, what impact can they have on the ruler?"

"On the other hand, it can also be taken advantage of. ”

"Perhaps now people say that Qin II died because Hu Hai succeeded to the throne and rebelled against the dictatorship. But Fusu is really not necessarily a good thing, it is the emperor's son!"

Therefore, if Emperor Qin could not believe in the legend of the Kingdom of Gamo, maybe it was Fusu, maybe it was Huhai, and it could also be seen as a means to seize the heir. ”

Of course, other possibilities cannot be ruled out, such as the fact that the legend of the kingdom of Gamo is true. ”

As he spoke, the old man Chen Xianguo's eyes widened, and the words he had just spoken eloquently stopped abruptly, and his eyes looked extraordinarily bright under the reflection of the fire.

He stared at Su Nian's fingertips, where he held a gold coin that shimmered in the dark.

The style of the gold coin is quaint, even rudimentary, and even the edges are a little worn and bumped.

In the very center of the gold coin, a fat moth is printed.
