Chapter 737: History and Truth

I exited the tomb with confusion, sealed the bricks again, covered them with stone slabs, and moved the statue of Shakyamuni Buddha as it had been.

It's just that those screws can't be restored, so I can only put it on, and then my fingers are dipped in the red practice, and I pinch it back little by little, and the threads of the screws are all gone.

After I got it done, I was stunned at the statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, what the hell is going on?

From this point of view, this Princess Wencheng doesn't seem to be doing very well in Tubo, at least not as well as everyone advertises.

If nothing else, as far as I can understand, it is like going to a place where I am not familiar with my life, although there are some people who accompany me, but I don't understand the language, the water and soil, the living habits are different, and I have stayed there all my life and can't come back, what a painful and terrible thing it is.

As for whether Princess Wencheng was treated as the mother of the country by the Tibetan people as written by the historian, it is unknown.

At least with the tomb I just saw, it is definitely not the treatment of the mother of the country, only 100 square meters, there is no burial, just a coffin, this is the treatment of civilians.

I was curious and picked up my phone to check it.

At that time, when Princess Wencheng and her relatives were in Tibet, Songtsen Gampo already had a queen, and Princess Wencheng was just a concubine when she came over.

And one thing in common is that in which dynasty, the Chinese all said that they had a good face, and they all regarded themselves as the heavenly kingdom, and the Tang Dynasty at that time was the rule of Zhenguan, and they looked down on Tubo at all, and there was a war with Tubo before.

When Songtsen Gampo sent someone to ask for marriage for the first time, he was rejected by Li Shimin, and Songtsen Gampo was furious and sent troops to attack the Tang Dynasty, although he was defeated by the Tang Dynasty, but he asked for marriage again while seeking peace.

This time, Li Shimin actually agreed, which seems to be a peace brought about by war.

When Princess Wencheng came out of the fortress, she brought a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, as well as a large number of people and horses such as medicine, seeds, and technical masters that were prevalent in the Tang Dynasty at that time, to help Tubo develop production, and Tubo's national strength gradually increased.

However, in the eyes of the Tibetan people, these gold and silver treasures and women were all caused by the Tang Dynasty to ask for peace and tribute due to the fear of the Tibetan army.

Datang had a good face, and wrote the show of weakness as a show of grace, and let the historian write it into a history book and pass it down.

I don't know if these are true, but thinking back to those murals and what I saw in the tomb just now, I vaguely feel that it is possible that Princess Wencheng is not powerful when she comes here.

There is also the fact that after Princess Wencheng married Tubo, she only got along with Songtsan Gampo for nine years, and the time for intersection was actually only three years, and most of the life in these three years was like in the third mural, like a maidservant serving Songtsan Gampo, and the language of the two did not understand, and there were also communication barriers, because it was naturally impossible to be favored.

After the death of Songtsen Gampo, Princess Wencheng lived in Tibet for another thirty-one years, what did she do in these thirty-one years?

Is it just like the fourth mural, a person quietly looking out the window, looking at the Tang Dynasty thousands of miles away, his parents, brothers and sisters thousands of miles away, or remembering Songtsan Gampo?

When Songtsen Gampo was there, she was still not favored, and after the death of Songtsen Gampo, the new king of Tubo ascended the throne, how could she gain power?

However, what is overlooked is that when Princess Wencheng was still there, that is, twenty-two years after Princess Wencheng married Songtsen Gampo, Tubo launched another attack on the Tang Dynasty, and in the following hundred years, the two countries continued to fight.

Later, another princess became a victim of his relatives, and that was Princess Jincheng.

The status of Princess Jincheng was slightly better, because she became the queen after marrying, and the then King of Tubo replaced the 12-year-old Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha statue of the Tang Dynasty in the Xiaozhao Temple to the Jokhang Temple, because the scale of the Jokhang Temple is far more magnificent than the Xiaozhao Temple.

Thinking of this, I feel a little uncomfortable, whether these things are true or not, as a victim of harmony, it is always sad.

As I said, let me go to live in a foreign country and never be able to go home, that feeling is worse than death, and they can't even die, because they have a mission on their shoulders.

I understand a little bit now, and I understand why Duke Wencheng wants to erect a wordless monument, because these facts she has encountered cannot be said, because her experiences have been beautified by the historians of the Tang Dynasty, she is just a tool, a commodity, she has no right to speak, good or bad has to be voiced by the Tang Dynasty, so she would rather have to be a silent mute.

I bowed three times to Shakyamuni Buddha, then four times to Princess Wencheng under the Buddha statue, and then sat in front of the Buddha statue, smoking silently.

I was very excited and impulsive before going to the grave, but I was not happy at all at the moment, it turned out that everything that was done outside was a face project.

There are also murals in the Potala Palace, but the Potala Palace has been destroyed again, and what those murals express may no longer be true.

"Forget it, don't think about it. I sneered and said, "I would like to know if those archaeologists from the state come to excavate this tomb and know the truth, will they reveal the truth to the world?"

I sneered, laughed but did not speak, one of the main purposes of archaeology is to study ancient culture and the truth at that time, if this is published, it is only afraid that it will expose its scars, and it will not hurt face, sometimes face is more important than life.

The masked man let me enter under the statue of Shakyamuni in the Potala Palace, where is the password?

Now I have doubts about the statues of Shakyamuni Buddha in these temples, are there tombs under these temples that are used to suppress the demons?

I took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it, maybe it was just a machion by the masked man.

I took my phone and texted Yuelan: Daughter-in-law, how are you doing over there?

Yuelan quickly replied: The masked man didn't move, we have already kept an eye on him, and he also discovered us, maybe it's for this reason, he hasn't made a move for a long time, what's going on over there, tomorrow you will be casting lots in the golden bottle, what are your feelings?

I looked at the phone and smiled slightly, this girl asked knowingly, I thought about it, deliberately angry with her, and replied: If the sign is issued, I will go to be a monk, I don't have to work every day, eat fragrant, drink spicy, take you to be a nun casually, and then give birth to a litter of little monks.

I estimated that if she was in front of me, she would definitely beat me, only to see her return: you, it's not serious, you're done there, come here.

I thought about it for a moment and came back: Okay, soon, I'll leave for you tomorrow at noon, waiting for me.

After a short exchange with Yuelan, my mood improved a lot.

I cheered up, anyway, it's just a day, as long as the little boy is put on the throne, I will take the old dog and them to find Yuelan.
