Chapter 279: The Cause of King Wu's Death
After listening to Mao Ping's words, I couldn't help but interject and ask, "Is your husband really dead?"
Mao Ping shook his head and said, "He's right here, do you say he's dead or not?"
I asked suspiciously: "But according to the records of wild history, Wu Rui, the king of Changsha, died in 202 BC and was buried in the north of Changsha City; more than 400 years after the death of Wu Rui, the king of Changsha, his tomb was stolen. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Mao Ping pursed her lips and said, "That's not the real King of Changsha at all, it's just a stand-in for my husband." ”
I was very curious and asked, "How did you secretly run Chen Cang to hide here?"
Mao Ping didn't answer my words, she said with a little melancholy: "Back then, my husband and I were embattled, and if we wanted to escape, we had to sacrifice the people of Wudi, and in that case, my husband and I were very depressed; On my husband's birthday that year, we were boating on the water, and I couldn't help but sigh: "I want to know you, I want to know you, I have a long life, there is no tomb, the river is exhausted, the winter thunder and earthquake, the summer rain and snow, the heaven and the earth are together, but I dare to be with you." ”
I was very puzzled and asked, "What does your mental depression have to do with you making love poems? Now people are saying that this is your unswerving love for the king of Changsha." ”
Mao Ping listened to my words, laughed coldly, and said indignantly: "Love poem----- where is the love poem, that is a suicide note I left to the world." ”
"Suicide note?" The more Apple said, the more confused I became.
Mao Ping took the trouble to explain: "Winter thunder and earthquake" -- it is about us being in an ambush on all sides, when Empress Lu was already about to attack my husband, and my husband could not give up his life to pursue the common people in the world and the entrustment of his grandparents just for his own life, nor could he go into seclusion like Zhang Liang; ”
Mao Ping always said that she and King Wu's grievances were not to mention how they hid in this coffin, which made me very anxious, and I asked her urgently: "Since the situation was so critical at that time, how did you survive the robbery of Empress Lu?"
Mao Ping reminded me, "Have you forgotten that I told you that someone gave King Wu a recipe for immortality?"
I still don't understand: "Since you can live forever, why are you still lying in the coffin, and besides, if Empress Lu wants to kill you, what does it have to do with the recipe in your hand? Could it be that you contributed the house of immortality to Empress Lu, and she let you go?"
Mao Ping sighed and said: "The so-called immortality, to put it bluntly, is a kind of turtle breath technique, we can only avoid the detection of Empress Lu by lying in the coffin, if Empress Lu can't see our corpses at that time, how can she let go of our clansmen and people in Wu Land." ”
I automatically added to my mind: "That means that you and King Wu pretended to be dead to escape the persecution of Empress Lu and saved your people and clansmen?"
Mao Ping nodded and said, "It can be said that this is the case. ”
I still didn't understand, and asked again, "What about the stand-in of King Wu?"
Mao Ping said with a little sadness: "Just a year after we announced the news of our death, King Wu and I returned to our hometown and wanted to live a dull life of male farmers and female weavers incognito, but I didn't expect that the suspicious Empress Lu sent someone to pretend to be a tomb robber to dig up our coffin. ”
I felt that Mao Ping still didn't get to the point, so I had to ask again, "Since you are all alive, why are you here again?"
Mao Ping replied very naturally: "After we hid for a few years, we didn't want to hide anymore, so we found this place to sleep." ”
I sighed, "You slept well, thousands of years have passed." ”
Mao Ping stood up, shook off her clothes, ignored me, and walked straight towards an iron coffin.
She pressed a bulge on the corner of the iron coffin with her slender hand. After a few loud creaks, the lid of the iron coffin opened automatically, revealing a middle-aged man covered with a thick brocade quilt, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a beard with sideburns. The man lay there with a pale face, listening carefully and hearing faint snoring.
Mao Ping stretched out her hand and patted the man's shoulder, and whispered, "The husband is up! The husband is up, and the concubine has come out of the coffin." ”
After a few sounds, the man sat up from the iron coffin suddenly, raised his arm and stretched his waist, looked at Mao Ping and said loudly, "This sleep is so long." ”
"We've been sleeping for thousands of years, and it's said that the sea has changed a lot outside. ”
The king of Changsha asked nervously: "What happened to the Liu Dynasty, and what happened to our clansmen now?"
Mao Ping didn't know anything about the situation outside, and she looked at me for help, hoping that I could explain it to them.
I don't know much about the history of the Han Dynasty, so I picked up what I knew and said to them in general: "Now it has been nearly 2,000 years since you fell asleep, and not long after the establishment of the Liu Dynasty, it was usurped by Wang Mang, a foreign relative, to establish a new dynasty, and later Liu Xiuguang, a descendant of the Liu family, established the Eastern Han Dynasty and then entered the Three Kingdoms era of warlord separation, in short, there is no Han Dynasty now." ”
King Wu asked, "Then what happened to my Wu family's clansmen now, did they follow my tips to hide back in their hometown?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know anything about your family, and there are many people with the surname Wu now, and I don't know which one is your clan and which one is not; If you want to know, you might as well go out and find out on your own. ”
Hearing my words, Wu Wangteng jumped out of the coffin at once. Wearing a long robe, he ran out with a belt.
Mao Ping hurriedly shouted: "Don't panic, husband, there are still a few of our subordinates here, we have to wake them up." ”
I kindly reminded them, "The clothes and outfits have changed a lot now, and if you wear this out, you will be seen as a psychopath." ”
King Wu was stopped by Mao Ping's shout, he turned around to look at my outfit, and asked suspiciously, "Don't people wear long shirts now?"
I nodded and said, "No, most men wear T-shirts and slacks, and women wear dresses and polo shirts." ”
Mao Ping asked tentatively, "Do you have any clothes here?" Can you give us some?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't, but I can do it for you." ”
