Chapter 225: Solving the Tomb
The moment he thought of Xie Jin, Mo Ye thought of understanding the "Yongle Canon" edited by Jin!
This canon includes almost all the books of the time, from astronomy and geography to subsets of classics and history, medicine, agriculture and commerce, everything from medicine to agriculture and commerce!
So after seeing the small coffin, Mo Ye could only shake his head, how could such an ordinary coffin fit the "Yongle Grand Canon"?
"Yongle Canon" was compiled in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and the cabinet chief assistant Xie Jin edited a collection of Chinese classics. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Originally known as "Literature Dacheng", it is a collection of Chinese encyclopedic documents, with a total of 22,937 volumes (60 volumes of contents), 11,095 volumes, about 370 million words, and a collection of seven or eight thousand ancient and modern books.
Now some people suspect that the original copy of the "Yongle Canon" is in Changling, but this has not yet been determined, Changling is the joint burial mausoleum of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di and Empress Xu, and it is still unknown whether there is "Yongle Canon" in it.
What is surviving now is the Yongle copy, but the Yongle copy was tragically destroyed, most of them were destroyed in the war, and only more than 800 volumes have survived so far, and they are scattered all over the world.
The Encyclopedia Britannica, in its "Encyclopedia" entry, called the Yongle Dadian, a Chinese Ming Dynasty book, "the largest encyclopedia the world has ever seen."
By now, "Yongle Canon" has become a symbol of Chinese culture, but this culture is incomplete, so after seeing so many of Xie Jin's works, Mo Xie will be so surprised, but now all that remains is disappointment.
Of course, being able to discover Xie Jin's handwriting is also a big gain.
All the writings of Xie Jin's life are collected in the coffin, and there are also manuscripts of Xie Jin.
Xie Jin is a master of calligraphy, and his handwriting is relatively easy to identify.
Mo Xie didn't know this person, but he was a celebrity, so Mo Ye easily found this person in all the information.
Xie Jin's calligraphy is very famous, he is good at calligraphy, small Kai exquisite, the grass is good, the use of the pen is exquisite, unexpected, its cursive opening of the late Ming Dynasty wild grass precedent.
Ming Wu Kuan's "Collection of the Kuang Weng Family" said: "When Yongle, there are many people who can write, and when the bachelor Xie Gong is the leader, the pen is smooth and skillful. ”
He Qiaoyuan's "Famous Mountain Collection" said: "Jinxue books are obtained from Wei Su and Zhou Boqi. His book is arrogant and arrogant, and his spirit is doubled. ”
"Self-written Poetry Volume", "Book Tang Dynasty Poems", "You Qixingyan Poems", "Song Zhao Hengdian Trial Story", etc., many of them are historical records, and even treasures collected by domestic museums, so Mo Ye is easy to identify.
The work was created in the eighth year of Yongle, when Xie Jin was forty-two years old, and he entered Beijing from the distant border to perform work, and was imprisoned shortly thereafter, and died tragically five years later.
This volume of calligraphy is vertical and horizontal, unrestrained and free, dotted out of the rules and regulations, no hasty and far-fetched, the chapter management is especially ingenuity, the whole article is completed in one go, and the spirit is self-prepared, showing the extraordinary ability of Xie Jin to control the long scroll with ease.
If there is any difference from the one collected in the museum, then it is the one in Mo Ye's hand, and there is no collection seal of Qing Anqi, Qianlong, Jiaqing, and Xuantong.
The same is true of "You Qixing Rock Poems", which is now stored in the Capital Palace Museum, 22.8 cm in length and 61.2 cm in width, which is the same size as the one found by Mo Ye, but the one found by Mo Ye is definitely different from the one in the museum, because it is refreshing and refreshing, and there is no collection seal.
The work in the Palace Museum has been collected by Zhu Zhichi, An Qi, Qianlong Imperial Mansion, Gu Song, Pan Hou, Wu Lifu, Zhang Heng, etc., and there are a total of 16 imprints in the collection of Shangchao families.
The fact that the handwriting is the same and there is no seal of connoisseurship can only show that these manuscripts, calligraphy and paintings have never been circulated.
After comparing it, Mo Ye found that the ancient books hidden in this coffin were actually better than those circulated in the outside world.
The first three lines of the "Song Zhao Hengdian Trial Affair" in the collection of the Demon Capital Museum are slightly restrained, starting from the fourth line, gradually becoming smooth and unrestrained, and Mo Xie here, from the beginning to the end, the whole writing process is to move the pen vigorously, sharp and changeable, frustrated and round, and swaying freely.
Its ink is thick and dry, the ink is dark like lacquer, the ink rhyme is flying, and it adds more style, which is obviously better than the one that has been handed down in the world.
Just identified these handwritings, Mo Xie confirmed that this was the authentic handwriting of Xie Jin, but after identifying Xie Jin's handwriting, Mo Xie was even more disappointed, why didn't Xie Jin keep a Yongle canon back then?
How nice would it be if he had a copy hidden here?
Of course, thinking about it and thinking about it is unlikely, hundreds of millions of words, if you copy them with a brush, how long will you have to copy them? There are so many books, where are they to be hidden?
So, Mo Xie stopped thinking nonsense.
It is already very good to be able to find Xie Jin's collection of books here, and if you want to find the "Yongle Canon", it is really a luxury.
Although he thought so, Mo Ye still had this kind of extravagant hope, because the temptation of "Yongle Canon" was too great.
"Could this be Xie Jin's clothed mound?" Mo Xie muttered to himself.
Of course, when he analyzed this ancient tomb, he did not forget to collect the things here.
The coffin was naturally resealed and put into the space as soon as possible.
The rest were some gold bricks, all of which were taken away by Mo Xieqi.
When he cleaned the place and scanned it carefully, and didn't find any antiquities again, Mo Xie walked out disappointed.
It is impossible to find any more good things here, because Mo Xie knows that this is not Xie Jin's mausoleum.
Xie Jin's tomb is located in Jiang @ Xiji @ Shuixian Ren @ Shou Township, the tomb is 500 meters long from north to south, solemn and solemn, there are celebrity stone carvings in front of the tomb, and many stone statues such as stone gates, stone people, stone horses, stone sheep, stone calves, etc., as for whether there are bones inside, no one has dug up and seen, so no one knows.
Thinking about the tragic experience of the Xie Jin family, is it possible for such a magnificent tomb to appear?
Therefore, Mo Ye deduced that this clothed mound was most likely the ultimate belonging of Xie Jin.
At that time, Zhu Di's Jinyi Guard commanded Ji Gang to get Xie Jin drunk with wine, and then dragged him to the snow and buried him, Xie Jin was frozen to death, and Xie Jin was only forty-seven years old at that time.
After Xie Jin's death, his family's property was confiscated, his wife, children, and clan were exiled to Liaodong, and there were no descendants to be filial, who built his tomb?
Therefore, it is very good that Xie Jin can mix such a mausoleum in Beijing.
Want a luxury mausoleum? That can only be possible after being rehabilitated, and at that time, where can Xie Jin's bones be found?
However, it's okay this way, if you don't see the corpse, you don't have to make a diaphragm, so that those gold bricks are convenient to use.
After all, the things used by the dead are too obscure.
And looking at the coffin, there is no trace of decay in it, which can only show that it has never contained a corpse, otherwise, it would not have been preserved so well.
"Huh?" As soon as he stepped on the upper stairs, Mo Ye heard a strange sound.
"Anyone?" Mo Xie reined in his steps and hid around a corner.
Four people came down the other passage, and they brought a lot of things, pickaxes, shovels, and sacks.
Seeing these things, Mo Ye's face changed, and it was likely that he had come prepared.
The movements of the four of them were very fast, and it was only a few minutes from the time Mo Xie found them to the time when several people came to him.
Seven or eight hundred meters in a few minutes, it's not much different from running, not to mention, they bring so many things.
"Don't be in such a hurry, right?" Running out of breath, waiting a little slower, one young man complained.
"Speed up today, and we may not use it tomorrow." A woman spoke.
"Don't speak, what if someone hears you?" Another man spoke.
"Don't be so careful, right? It's not been a day or two since we've come down, but who else have we met besides those little cubs? The woman spoke.
"Be careful, hurry up, it's not too early."
"I said a long time ago not to drink, but you didn't listen, it's a lot late today." The woman complained.
"Isn't it a pleasure to find a target?"
Hearing these people's conversations, the corners of Mo Ye's mouth couldn't help but twitch, did he cut off other people's discoveries?
Thinking about it at this time, the exposed tomb wall is really problematic.
At this time, Mo Xie no longer thinks that his luck is good, this is completely based on other people's shoulders and plundering other people's luck.
Everyone has done ninety-nine, but he did it easily, and perfectly helped others to call it a day.
Sure enough, the group of people went directly to the ancient tomb, looking at their posture, they must not have come here once or twice.
Thinking about it, the little cubs in the mouths of the four were the group of bear children who fought with Ye Liang today.
At this time, Mo Xie began to feel lucky again, fortunately his movements were fast, if he was a little slower, he would be blocked in the passage.
"Huh? Something is wrong! The group went down for a while, and someone exclaimed.
"How is that possible? And what about the wall? ”
"This is the Vajra Wall, how can this be?"
"Didn't we clear the Vajra Wall?"
"No, it's another King Kong wall, and the tomb is gone."
"Impossible, it's just a day, who can move an ancient tomb for me?"
"How do you explain it now?"
"Behind that wall, will there be nothing like this?"
"Now even the walls are gone, so many gold bricks. Will it run away on its own feet? ”
"Don't be suspicious, the four of us have been eating and living together recently, and it is impossible for anyone to make trouble."
"Who knows? The four of us don't have a chance, won't we notify others to come down? ”
"Alright, do a look around, maybe something is nearby."
"Yes, I really don't believe that anyone can transport those gold bricks out with a swagger."
"Look carefully."
Listening to those people's discussions, Mo Ye had already drilled out of the air-raid shelter and returned to his small courtyard.
These people have a clear goal and have worked hard for a long time, maybe the dead-end passage was dug by them, not part of the civil air defense project back then.
