Chapter 402: Bronze Xiaoding
Along this stone staircase, which lasted for nearly 100 knots, we finally reached the top, and at the top was a heavy wooden door, which pushed the latch of the wooden door open.
What caught my eye was two huge stone statues, which were being enshrined, and the appearance of these two stone statues was obvious, and everyone could see it at a glance.
"Qin Shi Huang! No, right? This shouldn't be, how can there be a tomb of Qin Shi Huang in this kind of place, it should be in northern Shaanxi. ”
Gu Yuexi said suspiciously, Ye Shuang was a little impatient, "It doesn't matter who he is, who knows this paragraph?"
Ye Shuang pointed to the paragraph that Qin Shi Huang opposed, and blurted out to Zhao Ming, "Qin II." ”
"What kind of mausoleum is this? How could these two people be here? What ...... Could that woman outside be Mi Yue?"
"Who knows, I haven't really studied the character of Miyue, but there is a history about this place, I know better.
Look here, there's a lot of bronze here. Zhao Ming casually pulled out a handful of bronze from the ground, like a wine bottle.
"These bronzes were the most popular in the Qin Dynasty, when Qin Shi Huang burned books and vigorously refined these bronzes, and the same was true of Qin II later. ”
"This Qin II is not a good emperor, why can he build a tomb in this kind of place, could it be that this tomb is his own?"
"Not really. Gu Yuexi directly denied that in the scope of rule at that time, areas like this did not belong to the Central Plains, let alone the territory of the Qin Dynasty.
Therefore, there is no need for him to build his burial place in other ethnic minority places.
Therefore, this tomb group is likely to be constructed by someone to commemorate the two of them. ”
"Then what is this bronze wine bottle?" Niu Dazhuang picked up the bronze wine bottle, put it in his hand and played with the bronze, there was some patina on it, sticking to Niu Dazhuang's palm.
Zhao Ming gently rummaged through those bronzes, and said with emotion, "Look at these bronzes first, don't care whose tomb it is."
Each of you has a bronze in your hands, both in terms of its workmanship and the ornamentation in which it was built.
It can be said that the person who created these bronzes was almost a genius, but he would not be a real official who refined bronzes.
These bronzes, from water vessels to musical instruments, from wine vessels to food vessels, all show the ingenuity of the Qin II Dynasty.
This skill is also extraordinarily skilled, and even many professional officials who make bronzes are beyond the reach of them. ”
"You said this thing was created by an emperor?" Niu Dazhuang said to Zhao Ming with emotion.
Otherwise, if you look at the Zhong Dingwen tattooed on it, it is said that it was created by the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty at that time, Qin II.
"I'll go, how much is this worth? This thing will have to sell for thousands even if it's scrap. Lu Ming on the side hugged a bronze big Ding and laughed.
"What you should be thinking about is, how are you going to take this thing away!" Zhao Ming said with some concern.
"Such a big bronze tripod, you can't move it if you want to, it's a thousand catties. ”
The bronze tripod has a half-faced beast ornament on it, and the face is very hideous, Lu Ming said lightly, "If you can't move this, I'll move it next time?"
When the time comes, we will get a few cranes from the outside and move all these things out, and we will be considered developed.
At that time, let alone the Xinyu Pavilion Club, we can open exactly the same, or even more luxurious than them. ”
"He is also too responsible, whether it is from the lacquering of bronzes or the purchase of materials, it is himself*. Zhao Ming looked at the inscription on it and said with emotion.
"Do you mean Qin II? He is so diligent, why don't the later historical records remember this?"
Ye Shuang looked at the inscription on it, and because it was an ancient font, he couldn't understand it, so he just asked lightly.
"History books are written by the victors, they don't discredit the former, how can they show their ability!" Zhao Ming said with a sigh.
"Lu Ming, you can take this one with you. At this time, Zhao Ming picked up a small bronze tripod from the ground, this small bronze tripod was only the size of two palms, and it was a little heavy in his hand.
It's also because it's made of bronze, so it's much denser than the average metal, and even heavier if it's made of gold.
Zhao Ming picked up the small bronze and looked at it carefully, there were thick bronze tires on it, and some small words were recorded to be messy, with a total of seventy-six words.
"In the Qin Dynasty, there was a saying that every time an official went to a small county-level area to take up a post, the central government would distribute one of these bronze tripods.
And this kind of bronze dot with the change of officials, every time you change a place, this bronze tripod will also be engraved with a new place name, I counted it, including a total of five regional names. ”
"Then is the text on this a small seal script of the Qin Dynasty?" Gu Gu Yuexi asked Zhao Ming with a frown, Zhao Ming nodded, and then shook his head.
Lu Ming looked at Zhao Ming's strange movements, "Then the Qin Dynasty used a small seal, what do you mean by shaking your head and shaking your head?"
Zhao Ming said, "In fact, there are both small seals of the Qin Dynasty and small seals of the Han Dynasty.
There are also some place names recorded, including what I just mentioned, but the area below is all small seal scripts of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, it also fully shows that this bronze tripod has a long history. ”
"Damn, then this thing is not very valuable, I think I have worked hard in the antique industry for many years, and I also know the more ancient words contained in antiques.
It shows that the greater its historical research value, and the more words like this contain so much, will this make its value even higher? ”
Lu Ming hurriedly asked Zhao Ming, and Zhao Ming nodded, "That's true, as far as the bronzes I see now are concerned, this bronze Xiaoding is the most recorded in writing."
Of course, his historical research value will also be improved, in fact, there are so many written records of bronzes, which are really rare, which is also very rare in the entire Qin Dynasty. ”
"I'll go, then this thing, give me this thing!" Lu Ming hurriedly snatched the bronze tripod.
Zhao Ming just noticed that Gu Yuexi's eyebrows tightened, but Ye Shuang and Niu Dazhuang were very different, and Ye Shuang looked quite unconcerned.
It seems that this bronze piece Lu Ming takes it away or not, it has little to do with him, and Niu Dazhuang is a sincere person, seeing that Lu Ming got some treasures, he also smiled happily and congratulated Lu Ming.
At this time, Lu Ming hugged the bronze Xiaoding, pulled Zhao Ming aside, and said to Zhao Ming sneakily, "You secretly tell me what kind of price this bronze Xiaoding is."
Don't say you don't know, you just estimate the price, okay, when the time comes, I will share the dividends with you, and I will be seven and you three. ”
Zhao Ming smiled bitterly, "I don't want this, you can give it all to you when you see it, but as for its market price, it's still the same as before."
Because it contains a large number of texts, its market price is difficult to estimate, but bronzes like this are generally inherited from the Qin Dynasty and have a long history.
So it's estimated at least 500,000 yuan, but if you take these texts into account, the value of his historical research is greatly enhanced.
Coupled with this bronze tripod, which is so well preserved, I think its price is at least more than one million, which was ...... before"
"What was before?" Luming asked nervously.
"It's nothing, I just remembered what I used to do, this one thing, it's worth the price, I'll tell you now, starting with a million is the lowest. ”
After Lu Ming heard this, he was so excited that he almost couldn't hug Zhao Ming, and kissed his lips fiercely on Zhao Ming's lips, Zhao Ming hurriedly pushed Lu Ming away, "Are you sick?"
Lu Ming was so excited, this was the first time in his life that he got such a valuable antique, he knelt on the ground excitedly and thanked God, Niu Dazhuang on the side thought Lu Ming was crazy.
Zhao Ming began to look at the surrounding mausoleum, although it was said that this was a mausoleum, but it had been here for so long.
There is no trace of the mausoleum, or rather, this tomb group has not been found until now, which can not help but make people frightened.
What's more confusing is whether there is a group of tombs mentioned by Lu Ming before.
If not, then what are these bronzes, the rivers and the institutions they are protecting?
"You see there's still some residual radiation on the ground, including some jade turquoise or something like that. ”
Gu Yuexi had already walked to the front, picked up the things on the ground, and handed them to Zhao Ming.
Zhao Ming looked at it, and sure enough, this was indeed the costume on the ancient clothes, and there were some turquoise and plum blossom butterfly shapes.
That completely proves that there are indeed people buried here, and with further understanding, Zhao Ming took Lu Ming and his group directly towards the small door in the cave.
When he opened the door, he found that this was equivalent to a side room in a home room, but when Zhao Ming pushed the door open, he found that there was nothing in it, which made everyone feel lost.
There was only one thief hole left on the wall, with a radius of nine centimeters, and this thief hole also made Lu Ming feel lost.
"Zhao Ming, it seems that someone has been here before us, and the things in it have already been looted. ”
Zhao Ming fixed his gaze on the long wall, which had already dug a passage, and he didn't know where to go.
"It seems that this passage was dug by the tomb robbers when they came in, so if we want to get out, this is also an intersection. ”
"Then we have very little gain, just one such thing!" Lu Ming held the bronze Xiaoding in his hand, and was even a little dissatisfied, Niu Dazhuang put his eyes on the other end of this side room.
"Zhao Ming, did you think it would be a room, maybe there would be something else there?"
Ye Shuang hurriedly trotted over, sure enough, there was something, but there were no antiques in it, but what was gratifying was that it was not nothing, after all, there were still a bunch of bones in it.
When Gu Yuexi and Ye Shuang saw the bones, they didn't look panicked at all, but Lu Ming walked over slowly, looking at the pile of bones on the ground, showing a frightened expression.
"Could this guy be the owner of this ancient tomb, how many years has he been dead?"
Zhao Ming shook his head lightly, "How can you see a man and a woman, why don't we put it together first." ”
Zhao Ming said calmly, and the deer on the side were frightened, "What, you asked me to splice the bones of a dead man, it will break Yangshou." ”
"Don't fool around, where did these logic come from, no, come on. After speaking, Zhao Ming grabbed a human bone in the mound and began to do some splicing.
After less than two or three hours, all the bones of the people were spliced together, and Zhao Ming came to the conclusion that this was a man, and this tomb was visited by tomb robbers.
"Now that the people have been spliced together, you don't do anything, then let's go out. Lu Ming said weakly, but Zhao Ming asked Lu Ming to bring * over at this time.
He gently paddled the mound, the soil on it was distinctly different from the soil on the side, but on closer inspection, it seemed to lead to a place.
Zhao Ming couldn't help but raise his head and look, there was a long corridor directly north of the place where the bones were stored.
Everyone's eyes stayed on this road, Zhao Ming asked Lu Ming to join in, and the two of them took * and scraped the soil layer on it.
