Chapter 13: The Mystery of the King's Treasure (Part II)
"As for the third ending of King Chuang, that is to become a monk ......"
Jiang Yuan did not sell much guanzi, but slowly showed everything that happened in front of the audience.
"There are many kinds of legends about Li Zicheng becoming a monk, some say that he retired in Qingcheng Mountain, and some say that he shaved his ordination in Dongshan Temple, as for the final saying that after the defeat, Li Zicheng absconded to Shimen Jiashan Temple in Nanhu Province......"
"These two statements are quite far-fetched, interested friends can check the information by themselves, here the anchor will not say much, let's focus on this Shimen Jiashan Temple."
As early as the eighties of the last century, SM County, Lizhou and other places near Jiashan, Yongchang Tongbao copper coins and copper horse bells with the words "Xi'an Wang" and folding fan bones engraved with the words Yongchang were found, which attracted the attention of local archaeologists. ”
Subsequently, archaeologists stumbled upon a strange-shaped tomb on the western slope of Jiashan Temple Road. According to the inscription unearthed from the tomb, the archaeologists learned that the owner of the tomb was a monk named Fengtianyu, who came here to open a mountain and build a temple in the ninth year of Shunzhi. ”
"As we all know, monks generally use niches and pagodas to house the remains and bones after being seated, but this monk violated the rules of the monks and was buried according to the rituals, and it is a rare form of burial with one tomb and three caves."
Thanks to the boom in tomb robbery film and television dramas in recent years, the audience is still more interested in this kind of anecdote, which can be seen from the number of people in the live broadcast room, which has stabilized at more than 300 people.
At this time, no one questioned why the anchor didn't go treasure hunting, everyone wanted to know what was going on with this strange ancient tomb mentioned by Jiang Yuan, could it be Li Zicheng's tomb?
"The archaeologists, who were troubled by the form of the tomb, continued to clean and excavate the tomb, and in the process, they found a porcelain altar with blue and white on a white background, delicate workmanship, and glazed decorations with unicorn and phoenix motifs."
"As you know, the unicorn and the phoenix are both Rui beasts, and this kind of patterned porcelain is definitely not something that ordinary monks can enjoy."
"This discovery made the archaeologists at that time have all kinds of doubts about the true identity of this Fengtianyu monk, and this doubt was not answered until ten years later."
"In the early nineties of the last century, when rebuilding the Great Compassion Hall of Jiashan Temple, the staff was surprised to find a stone turtle engraved with the word "Seal" and a bronze medal with the words "Fengtian Yuzhao" in the foundation of the main hall. ”
"This discovery caused a sensation at the time, because the edict is a proper noun of an emperor, and the edict can only be used by the emperor, and the same is true of the 'edict'."
"Could it be that this Fengtianyu monk has even been an emperor?"
"There are many mysteries that make the archaeologists at a loss, until one day three years later, when a staff member who participated in the archaeology of Jiashan Temple went to SX Mizhi for a meeting, he happened to come into contact with a Tang report from Wang Qiaonian, the governor of SX in the early Qing Dynasty."
"The content of this Tang newspaper is quite tasteless, that is, the governor sent someone to dig up Li Zicheng's ancestral grave to vent his anger, but a detail recorded above made the archaeologist's eyes shine."
"The gravediggers reported that Li Zicheng's grandfather's tomb and father's tomb are all three caves, and one tomb and three caves are one person, which is also the unique custom of the Li family in northern Shaanxi."
"This discovery reminded this archaeologist of the ancient tomb of Shimen Jiashan that had plagued him for thirteen years, and a flash of thought crossed his mind, could it be that the owner of this tomb, the monk Fengtianyu, is Li Zicheng, whose whereabouts are unknown behind Jiugong Mountain?"
[Then the Fengtianyu monk, is it Li Zicheng? ] A viewer who is anxious asked.
"The descendants of the Li family are not Li Zicheng alone, and the emperor of the Great Shun Dynasty is not the only one ......," Jiang Yuan said meaningfully.
"In short, when the archaeologists fell on Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, the object of suspicion of the identity of the monk Fengtianyu, they found a contradiction that could not be justified."
"This Fengtianyu monk is not a hermit, he has hundreds of disciples under his command, and he also has close contacts with local officials, which have been recorded in the local county annals."
"You must know that Li Zicheng's physiognomy is still obvious, he was blind in one eye during the battle, will the local officials be unalert with such characteristics? That's impossible. ”
"In fact, as early as hundreds of years ago in the Qianlong period, there were rumors that the monk Fengtianyu was Li Zicheng, and the prefect of Lizhou at that time, He Luan, was very interested in this rumor, but when he went to visit Jiashan Temple, more than 70 years had passed since the death of the monk Fengtianyu."
"In the end, he didn't care about anything, he just got a statue of Fengtian jade treasured in Jiashan Temple, and the monk on the portrait was handsome and beautiful, which also did not match the rumored rough and heroic Li Zicheng."
"And this treasure map in my hand was taken from this scroll of the portrait of Fengtianyu left by He Xuan to future generations."
[Then who is this Fengtian jade, and what does the thing hidden in his portrait have to do with King Chuang's secret treasure? 】
[The anchor is really verbose, and after saying so much, he hasn't gotten into the main topic yet......]
"Don't be anxious," Jiang Yuan said with a smile, "Now we are only one step away from the truth." ”
"The previous inferences are not useless, at least now everyone knows that this Fengtianyu is a descendant of the Li family, may have been an emperor, and is handsome, but he is not Li Ziyuan."
"If these are not yet certain, let's take a look at an interesting historical record, Li Guo, Li Zicheng's nephew, looks as good as jade, after Li Zicheng was defeated, he led the remnants of the Dashun army to retreat to Nanhu and united with the Southern Ming to resist the Qing Dynasty."
"In the eighth year of Shunzhi, the coalition army was gradually declining, and at this time, Li Guo died of illness in the army, with no monument, no tomb and no corpse."
"When you think of the ninth year of Shunzhi, the monk Fengtianyu suddenly appeared with hundreds of supporters, do you think of anything?"
[Anchor, do you mean to say that Fengtianyu is Li Guo? ] 】
[But Li Guo is also a well-known thief, didn't the officials who interacted with him recognize him? ] 】
"Li Guo has always thought that his appearance is too beautiful, and he is afraid that he will not be able to suppress the army's heart, so he often wears a ghost mask in battle, and he can't imagine that it is precisely because of this unintentional move that he can fake his death to get rid of the golden cicada......
"Li Guolianming resisted the Qing army for several years, but when he saw that the Qing army was becoming more and more powerful, he faked his death and became a monk in frustration."
"And this drawing hidden in his portrait is for the convenience of future worship, because what is recorded on it is the burial place of Emperor Dashun and King Li Zicheng."
"Of course, it is also the burial place of the so-called treasure of King Chuang!"
Jiang Yuan explained with a smile that at this time, in front of his eyes, he could already faintly see the trace of a well-known scenic spot on Jiugong Mountain, the Ancient Cliff Cave.
