Chapter 532: Sun Quan robs the tomb

In 122 B.C., Zhao Yuan, who was seriously ill, knew that he would die soon, so he hurriedly sent someone to Chang'an to deliver a message to Zhao Yingqi, the son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Zhao Yingqi then asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for family leave to return to Nanyue, and in the same year, Zhao Yuan died of illness, and Zhao Yingqi succeeded to the throne.

Sun Quan later succeeded in stealing and excavating the tomb of the king of Nanyue, and the owner of the tomb was the third king Zhao Yingqi.

Zhao Yingqi was very prosperous as a husband and wife, and before he went to Chang'an to be a guard, he married a Nanyue woman and gave birth to his eldest son, Zhao Jiande. Later, when he came to Chang'an, he married the daughter of the Handan family and gave birth to a son named Zhao Xing. Hou Shu was made queen, and Zhao Xing became the crown prince. When Zhao Yingqi was in power, Nanyue was no longer good, Yingqi was a tyrant, wantonly killed, did not pay attention to benevolent government, and became a king for more than ten years.

In 115 BC, infant Qi died of illness, and the crown prince Zhao Xing succeeded to the throne, and his mother Hu became the queen mother.

When he was not married to Zhao Yingqi and was a girl, he had slept with a man named An Guo Shaoji, and he was quite sexually open.

After Zhao Yingqi's death, Emperor Wu sent An Guo Shaoji to South Vietnam to meet the Hui family, and the old relationship between the two was revived. Zhao Yingqi married the Zhu family again, which was a trap set by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

At that time, the scandal of the Hui family came out, and the South Vietnamese people did not believe in the Hui family as the queen mother.

Fearing a coup d'état in China, the Zhu clan wanted to rely on the power of the Han Dynasty to stabilize the situation, and repeatedly persuaded Zhao Xing and his ministers to belong to the Han Dynasty.

At that time, the patriarch and prime minister of several dynasties, Lü Jia, was a Yue independence element, and the Hui clan wanted to get rid of the obstacles in the plan to return to the Han Dynasty, and later Lü Jia launched a rebellion, sent people to kill Zhao Xing, the Empress Dowager and the envoys of the Han Dynasty, and set up Zhao Jiande, the eldest son born to Zhao Yingqi and his Nanyue wife, as the new king of Nanyue.

In 111 BC, Lü Jia and Zhao Jiande were captured and killed by an army sent by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the Nanyue Kingdom was destroyed.

The Nanyue Kingdom, founded by Zhao Tuo, has since withdrawn from history after 93 years and five generations of Nanyue kings.

In the year 229 AD, three hundred and twenty-two years after the fall of the Nanyue Kingdom, Sun Quan set sights on the tomb of the king of Nanyue.

Although the tomb of Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, has countless treasures, it has not been discovered until the Three Kingdoms period three hundred years later, because he paid great attention to anti-tomb robbery.

Sun Quan first arranged for Wu Yu to work in Jiaozhou, Guangzhou, at that time, to investigate and secretly visit the people to collect information on the tomb of the king of Nanyue. But after many days of investigation, I didn't find a single clue.

But Wu Yu did not find nothing, he found the tomb of Zhao Yingqi, the third king of Nanyue. After hearing the report, Sun Quan gave instructions very simply, what are you waiting for, and immediately started digging Zhao Yingqi's tomb.

Sun Quan was really motivated by the desire for profit, it was the period of the Three Kingdoms melee, and the Cao Wei group in the north had been eyeing Wu Guo, but Sun Quan put aside the border security and sent the general Lu Yu with thousands of soldiers to travel thousands of miles, trekking through mountains and rivers, over mountains and mountains, and came to Guangzhou. Under the official banner, they fought with open fire and dug up the tomb of the king of Nanyue.

The tombs of the kings of Nanyue are all stone chambers and are built on the mountains, unlike the mausoleums in the Central Plains of Shaanxi and Henan in the north.

The tomb road of the tomb of the king of Nanyue was closed with large stones, the heaviest of which was nearly a ton, and one or two people could not open it at all, and the excavation of the tomb of Zhao Yuan was blocked by stubborn stones.

In the absence of modern lifting equipment, it is still a mystery how Lu Yu opened the tomb back then. But it is conceivable that this group must have made great efforts to dig up the tomb of Ying Qi.

Although the burial goods of Ying Qi are not as rich as Zhao Tuo, they are also a lot of treasures, Ying Qi is wearing gold and jade clothes, and the ornaments on his body are pure gold, as well as 36 jade seals and gold seals, three copper swords, and there are exquisite dragon-like patterns on the copper swords.

After stealing Zhao Yingqi's mausoleum, Sun Quan still didn't give up, and asked Lu Yu to turn over the mountains around the city of Guangzhou, which was really three feet into the ground, and many hills near Guangzhou today were dug by Sun Quan's men and horses.

In folklore, Sima Yi couldn't fight Zhuge Liang, so he stole Zhuge Liang's coffin to get his military book, and Zhuge Liang was like a god, and he had already poisoned the book.

Although Sun Quan did not steal Zhuge Liang's coffin, he really did the work of digging graves for a secret book.

At the beginning, there were eight uniques in Eastern Wu - Zheng Fei was good at face-to-face, Liu Dun was good at observing the stars, Wu Fan was proficient in meteorological changes, Yan Wu was good at playing chess, Song Shou was good at interpreting dreams, Huangxiang was good at calligraphy, Cao Buxing was good at painting, and Zhao Da was proficient in arithmetic deduction.

These eight talented people were all recruited by Sun Quan and gave full play to their talents.

Among these eight people, Zhao Da, who is proficient in arithmetic deduction, is the most legendary, and among the sixty Jiazi gods (also known as Tai Sui) worshiped by the people in later generations, Zhao Da is the Wuchen Tai Sui who holds the dragon in both hands.

When Zhao Da was alive, he was a counselor of Sun Quan, and it is said that he also served as the prime minister of Eastern Wu. When Sun Quan sent troops to conquer, he asked Zhao Da to do a divination calculation every time, and every time Zhao Da could predict the prophet.

Zhao Da's greatest strength is arithmetic, especially the nine palaces arithmetic, which can be described as a generation of mathematical geniuses.

At that time, Kan Ze, a famous scholar in Eastern Wu, personally came to seek advice, you know, Kan Ze was a mathematician, the author of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and Zu Chongzhi's calculation of pi was based on Kan Ze's research results.

can make Kan Ze deign to come to study, which shows Zhao Da's attainments in arithmetic (mathematics) (learning), but Zhao Da did not teach it.

Sun Teng, the Taishi of Eastern Wu, worshipped Zhao Da as his teacher since he was a child, studied hard for many years, and finally asked Zhao Da to agree to teach him the method of arithmetic, but whenever Zhao Da wanted to speak, he suddenly kept silent.

Gongsun Teng had no choice, so he prepared the wine, carefully served Zhao Da to drink, observed his face, and found the right time to kowtow for advice.

Zhao Da was moved by Gongsun Teng's thirst for knowledge, and finally said his reluctance to teach the secrets of arithmetic: "My ancestor got this set of arithmetic and wanted to become an emperor with it, but it has been three generations since he became an official, but he is just a Taishilang, I really don't want to teach it anymore." Besides, this set of arithmetic is esoteric and difficult to understand, using multiplication at the beginning and division at the end, which is a method of reckoning, even if it is a father and son, I will not teach it. ”

As the saying goes, "eating people with short mouths and soft hands with people", Zhao Da was served by his apprentice with good wine and meat, and he was also relieved and said: "For your tireless sake, I will teach you the secrets of arithmetic." ”

After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Da got up and took out two silk books, the rolled silk books were as thick as thumbs, and he said: "Copy this book, study it carefully, and you will understand it all." I have not read these two books for a long time, and now I want to read them again and give them to you in a few days. ”

A few days later, Gongsun Teng came to ask for these two math cheats. Zhao Da pretended not to find it, exclaimed that the cheats were lost, and said, "My son-in-law came yesterday, and he must have stolen it." ”

After so many years of master-apprentice relationship, he couldn't ask for these two silk books, and Gongsun Teng was disheartened and broke off with Zhao Daen.

Gongsun Teng was the Taishi Cheng of Eastern Wu, and this matter was soon known to Sun Quan, the Emperor of Eastern Wu.

Sun Quan was also very interested in Zhao Da's arithmetic, and asked Zhao Da many times for his tricks, but Zhao Da never said that even if his sister was Sun Quan's concubine, even if he was alienated by Sun Quan and had a poor career.

Zhao Da is so precious that these two volumes of arithmetic cheats are too valuable, and the great Confucian Kan Ze of the current dynasty, Gongsun Teng, who has been an apprentice for many years, and Sun Quan, the monarch of Eastern Wu, have no chance to see them.

After Zhao Da's death, Sun Quan asked Zhao Da's daughter for the two volumes of silk book cheats, because Zhao Da told his apprentice Gongsun Teng that the cheats had been stolen by his son-in-law.

But Zhao Da's daughter and son-in-law didn't have it at all, so no matter how Sun Quan coerced and lured, he couldn't find it.

Sun Quan was really unwilling, so he sent someone to dig up Zhao Da's grave and open the coffin, but he still found nothing.

Since then, where Zhao Da's two-volume silk book is located has become a mystery for the ages, and his arithmetic has also been lost.

In ancient times, when emperors established a country, they must build seven temples, which are dedicated to their ancestors, namely the temple of the four relatives (father, ancestor, great-grandfather, and high ancestor), the temple of the two (tiāo, the father and grandfather of the great ancestor) and the temple of the first ancestor. Among them, the Taizu Temple is located in the middle, and its left and right are three Zhao and three Mu.

After Sun Jian was ambushed and killed by Huang Zu during the attack on Jingzhou, the eldest son Sun Ce inherited his father's business. Sun Ce did not live up to his father's high expectations, made friends with heroes, and successively met Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, etc., laid a world in Jiangdong, became the little overlord of Jiangdong, and was named Wu Hou by the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Later, Sun Ce led his army to defeat his old enemy Huang Zu and avenge his father. Sun Ce was assassinated by the subordinates of his old enemy Xu Gong when he was out hunting, and died young.

After Sun Quan became emperor, he did not completely follow this rule, he only built a temple for his old son. This temple is revered as the ancestor temple of Eastern Wu, and the temple site is in Linxiang County, Changsha County at that time.

But there is something that puzzles future generations, that is, since it is the "ancestral temple", it should be built together with the capital, which is not only convenient for sacrifice, but also more orthodox.

But Sun Quan did this for two reasons. The first is "blessed to say". Sun Jian made meritorious contributions to the suppression of the peasant uprising in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, including the Yellow Turban Army, and was worshiped by the imperial court as the Taishou of Changsha. Back then, the Sun family raised troops against Qin and Dong Zhuo, and it was also from Changsha that Changsha was indeed a blessed land for the Sun family.

The second is Feng Shui. After Sun Jian's father died, Sun Quan asked Mr. Feng Shui to be buried in his hometown of Fuchunbu, Zhejiang.

Suddenly, a strange person asked him, "Do you want to be a prince of a hundred generations, or do you want to be the fourth emperor?"

Sun Quan said he wanted to be emperor. So the man casually pointed to a place. Sun Quan was very surprised, believed the man, and buried his father in that place.

The Fuchun River once swollen, and a narrow sand belt formed around Sun Jian's father's grave. An old man said, "Your children and grandchildren will make a career on the couch in the future, and it will be so." ”

However, after Sun Jian's temple was repaired, Sun Quan did not offer sacrifices, and only sent the chief official of Changsha to worship on his behalf every year.

Sun Quan's behavior was widely criticized in the future, believing that Sun Quan did not regard his Laozi as the "ancestor" at all, and was disrespectful to the king, and the establishment of the ancestor temple was just a show.

Even the source of wood for building the temple was stolen from tomb robbers.

It is really unheard of to dig it out of someone else's ancestral grave and use the coffin board of the dead to build a temple for Lao Tzu.

Sun Quan's construction of a temple for Lao Tzu in this way is indeed a bit of a "fool".
