Zhao Ning, Provincial Bureau of Cultural Relics, Chief Archaeological Expert.

He is now sixty-five, which is considered to be in the prime of life, and he can still fight on the front line.

However, after all, he is getting older, and his physical strength is not as good as before, and it is estimated that after two more years, he will have to consider taking a back seat and changing to the study of data copywriting, mainly academic.

He also pondered that he would spend a few years combining what he had learned all his life to summarize his practical experience and write a book, hoping to pass it on to future generations. The so-called goose leaves a voice, and people die to leave a name, which is also a very normal idea.

In life, the pursuit of fame and fortune is inevitable.

"Which direction should I go in?"

Zhao Ning touched his gray hair and pondered it seriously.

Cold, hurried footsteps came from the corridor outside. Immediately afterwards, with a bang, someone suddenly pushed open the door of the office, which startled Zhao Ning.

“…… Xiao Li. ”

Zhao Ning looked back and said unhappily: "Such a big person, and still so rough, no wonder there has been no object." ”

"Old Zhao!"

Xiao Li blushed, not ashamed. In fact, he didn't hear what the other party was saying clearly at all, and he was very excited now, "Jing Shan...... Jingshan County ...... Found the Great Tomb!"

Zhao Ning was very calm, beckoned, and signaled, "Don't worry, sit down and speak slowly." ”

"Yes......"

Xiao Li calmed down and gasped, and while sitting down, he said excitedly: "Old Zhao, the big tomb." After verifying the news, the Cultural Relics Bureau of Jingshan County immediately called us and asked us to organize a team of experts to explore. ”

"Got it. ”

Zhao Ning nodded and said, "Follow the process and see how the director arranges." ”

"Zhao Lao ......"

Xiao Li was very surprised, and said unexpectedly: "This is a big tomb, aren't you interested?"

"Yes. ”

Zhao Ning said casually: "It's just that there are so many experts in the provincial bureau, there are not many more than me, and there are many people who lack me." There are some things that I don't want to be too specialized, so I have to give others some opportunities. ”

Jingshan, hehe!

In his impression, the Jingshan area is relatively remote, there are no cultural and historical monuments, and it belongs to the desert land of the archaeological community, so there is no research value at all.

Even if there are any large tombs, they are nothing more than folk tombs, and there are certainly not many cultural relics unearthed.

Thinking about it like this, he didn't bother to toss.

Xiao Li understood, and sighed: "Zhao Ning, you are really high-spirited, even the royal tombs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are willing to give up ......."

"That's ...... Wait, what did you just say?" Zhao Ning's gaze froze, "What Wang Ling?"

"The Mausoleum of the King of Chu. ”

Xiao Li was stunned by the D County Cultural Relics Bureau and said that in the territory of Jingshan, a tomb suspected to be the tomb of the King of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period was found. But they didn't dare to judge whether it was true or false, and hoped that the provincial bureau would send experts to guide ......"

"Bang!"

Before Xiao Li's words were finished, he saw Zhao Ning, who had always been reserved and steady, push the table away, and then rushed out of the office with a pair of old cold legs.

"Uh......"

Xiao Li was dumbfounded: "What about the Gao Feng Liang Festival that was said?"

……

The Provincial Bureau of Cultural Relics spent half a day convening a meeting of all experts.

Under Zhao Ning's arguments, relying on the old and selling the old, and the spit was flying, he finally eliminated dissidents...... No, it should be against all odds, taking the lead and becoming the head of the expert group.

Then as soon as the meeting ended, he took a group of elite soldiers and went straight to Jingshan.

A few hours later, when the group arrived in Jingshan County.

Reporters from all walks of life who heard the news also blocked the gate of the county cultural relics bureau.

The Mausoleum of the King of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Although it is a matter of archaeology, news like this is destined to make headlines.

For example, the previous excavation of the tomb of the Marquis of Hanhai was also lively for more than half a month. Whether it is celebrities or elites, including ordinary people, they are also more concerned about this matter.

Because of the many cultural relics unearthed in the tomb, they can contribute to the country's culture and civilization inheritance. Basically, people all over the world will not take such things lightly.

What's more, Jingshan is the source of the Chu people, the Chu country, and the Chu culture. In such a place, traces of royal tombs were found. This is definitely news to look forward to for many people.

Especially for an archaeologist like Zhao Ning, it was a big surprise.

Because in his impression, the Chu State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, due to historical reasons, the capitals of the Chu State have migrated several times, and the number of capitals it has moved and the frequency of capital changes are incomparable to other princes in the early Zhou Dynasty.

It is because of the uncertainty of the capital that the tomb of the king of Chu is very rare. Modern archaeology has excavated many Chu tombs for decades, but only one can be identified as a royal tomb

More large tombs, full of suspicions, difficult to determine.

So the tomb of Jingshan will be the tomb of the king?

Zhao Ning didn't dare to guarantee it, so when he entered the county cultural relics bureau, the first thing he said was: "What about the person who found Wang Ling, where is he, I want to see him......"

Along the way, he has carefully studied all kinds of clues.

There is a video...... Bone Road, Chariot and Horse Palace.

There are cultural relics...... Spring and Autumn Jade.

There are also witnesses!

Now, he just wants to have an in-depth communication with people and confirm more details.

He couldn't wait......

In fact, in his heart, he was already seventy or eighty percent sure, and he was sure that the place must be the royal tomb. After all, the existence of carriage pits and burial pits was the standard configuration of ancient emperors.

But archaeology cannot rely on speculation, it must have tangible evidence of cultural relics.

Near the water, the building gets the first ......

Zhao Ning has a hunch that as long as he presides over the overall situation, this archaeological excavation is carried out perfectly, and then it ends perfectly, he will definitely be able to leave a name for future generations, and there is no need to publish another book.

All in all, Zhao Ning is now full of ambition and is ready to do his best and die.

But what disappointed him was ...... The person who discovered the tomb was not in the county cultural relics bureau.

"In the mountains, organize excavations?"

When Zhao Ning heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Let them not move, we will go over immediately." ”

A group of people arrived at the Cultural Relics Bureau, and without even a glass of water, they left in a hurry. The reporters outside the gate, seeing such a situation, didn't need to think about it at all, and they had already cleverly followed suit.

Drive to the mountain village and then change to walking with your guide.

At sunset, the sky was full of red clouds, and the team of people and horses successfully arrived at Jiugou Village, under the lonely mountain.

The firefighters and armed police soldiers have already set up a cordon within a radius of ten miles. No one is allowed to take half a step without a pass.

Zhao Ning was very satisfied, especially after seeing the lonely mountain, there was no trace of ground excavation, he walked into the camp with peace of mind, and finally met the discoverer of the royal tomb - Wang Feng!

"Comrade Xiao Wang, hard work. ”

Zhao Ning said enthusiastically: "Your merits, future generations will definitely remember them and sing praises to virtue!"
