The vicissitudes of life
"The ancient desert city that shocked the world has entered the second stage of excavation, and in the east of the ancient city, a tomb comparable to that of a prince has been discovered......"
The TV hanging in a large shopping mall was broadcasting the latest archaeological discoveries, and Zhu Qiuxi subconsciously stopped, raised his head, and watched it seriously.
Her best friend was strolling around, and found that the people around her were gone, turned around, and after finding Zhu Qiuxi, she said angrily and funny: "You, really, you can't walk when you see this-"
When the ruins of the ancient desert city were rediscovered, not only the archaeological and academic circles were shaken, but also the attention of various countries was turned there.
In order to prove their "legitimacy", countries have buried their heads in the pile of old papers and extracted a scaly claw from history to prove that "XX has been the sacred territory of XX since ancient times", and China is naturally no exception.
In fact, after a team of top archaeologists from all over the world published the results and proved that this ancient city has a very obvious Qinxia style, the common people of China also began to pay attention to this matter.
Before Zhu Qiuxi had time to think about it, he heard his girlfriend screaming excitedly regardless of being in public: "Oh my God, it's the tomb of King Liang, it's the tomb of King Liang!" ”
What the? Tomb of King Liang?
The archaeologists unleashed a big move that completely made the whole world boil.
As we all know, the Qin and Xia dynasties were the most prosperous dynasties in history, stretching for 400 years, spanning three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa, and sprinkling the glory of Chinese culture to the world.
It's a pity that there are not many records about Qin Xia, or in other words, there are not many objective ones.
There's a reason for that, too.
At the end of the Qin Xia, the feudal towns were divided, and the heroes competed for the Central Plains, and the princes had insufficient military spending, and they were frustrated, and they started the idea of the tomb of the Qin Xia Emperor.
At the beginning, these people just had the idea of beating the tombs of several emperors in the late Qin and Xia periods, after all, these emperors were all scum who stirred up the resentment of the people in the world, and robbed the tombs of these people, so as to be more "just". It's just that those who have already opened the vows will find it difficult to stop again, and after tasting the sweetness, the poor and crazy princes will set their eyes on the mausoleum of the Son of Heaven in the Seven Temples of Qin and Xia.
Qin Xiazun Zhou Li, the Son of Heaven is enshrined in the seven temples, and the temples of the rest of the emperors will be destroyed once the time is up, and they will no longer be retained, and the gods will also be attached to other temples.
Because of this, if it is not recognized as the Holy Lord of the Ming Dynasty, even if the son builds a temple for himself and has a temple number, it will be changed and withdrawn by later generations. is like Emperor Xianzong, his daughter's attitude is too strong and resolute, and the ministers pinch their noses and admit it. But later, when the seven temples were full, everyone calculated and left, but his temple was withdrawn, and the god was attached to the temple of his father, Emperor Shizu.
The seven sons of heaven who have been revered for generations in Qin and Xia, Qin Yan, Emperor Taizongcheng, Qin Li, Emperor Qin Heng, Emperor Shizongwu, Qin Wan, Emperor Renzongming, Qin Zhao, Emperor Xiaozongjing, and Qin Xiu, Emperor Zhongzongrui, all of them were Ming monarchs who opened up their territories during their reigns, promoted the peace of the four seas, and all countries came to the dynasty.
Such an emperor, even if he has passed away for a hundred years, still has a very high status in the hearts of the people, but people can't manage so much when they are at the end of their rope.
I don't know what kind of mentality, this prince decided to dig up the Yongling Tomb where Emperor Qin Wan of Shizongwu Emperor Qin Wan was located, and then there is a jaw-dropping record in the history books:
According to historical records, on the night when these people planned to blow up Yongling, there was a thunderstorm and they could not make the trip. The next day, when the tengu was eclipping, the day was dark, as if it were late at night, and there was a spark passing by, and everyone thought it was a miracle, and the princes were frightened half to death, and soon went away.
Then, the mountains and rivers were diverted, the vicissitudes of life, the eighteenth emperor of Qin and Xia, there were twelve generations of mausoleums sunk into the ground, and it was difficult to find a trace.
After Qin Xia, it was the Cheng Dynasty.
The emperor of the Cheng Dynasty was also a warlord in a feudal town, relying on military generals to conquer the world, but after ascending the throne, he was very wary of military generals, claiming to "absorb the lessons of the destruction of the previous dynasty". As a result, the military generals were constantly suppressed, and the status of the literati was elevated to incomparable, and even an army appeared, and the commander must be a civilian official, and there was a ridiculous thing that eunuchs supervised the army.
It is precisely because of this that the land of Qin Xia was lost again and again, not only Mobei and Hexi, but even Yanyun did not hold it, so he could only shrink to Luoyang and watch Jiuyuan Dynasty County be occupied by the Hu people. Although this "Hu people" are not the most orthodox Hu people, after all, all ethnic groups in Yandi live together and have long been sinicized, but Hu Feng has been retained, nothing more.
As soon as the Cheng Dynasty was defeated in foreign wars, it wantonly exalted the literati and suppressed the martial arts, which naturally ushered in the dissatisfaction of the non-commissioned officer class, and also ushered in an even more tragic suppression.
At this time, the Confucianists who "understood the righteousness" stood up, vigorously revised the history books, burned the classics, and vigorously smeared the exploits of several generations of emperors in the late Qin and Xia periods.
In their writings, although the emperors of Qin and Xia have merits, they are more of a loss of personal virtue. led to the generation of the Cheng Dynasty, when it comes to Qin Wan, people will not think of how she expands her territory, but thinks that this is the first female emperor in the world, who is on the throne by improper means, and has a leg with the ministers!
This wind is difficult to contain.
Cheng Dynasty is weak, although he has repeatedly made peace with the outside world, and even made the scandal of the princess and princess discounting the price and just seeking a corner of peace. But he didn't last long before he was destroyed by foreign enemies.
In order to rule this land for a long time, the nomadic people who rose from the west and were already high-level Sinicized not only accepted the Central Plains clothes. In order to flaunt his own orthodoxy, he also found an ancestor for himself, that is, Su Wo, the Liang King of Qin Xia. Therefore, he tried his best to whitewash Qin Xia and wash away the stigma that Cheng Dynasty imposed on the emperors of Qin and Xia, and Weiguang was not like a person, but like a god.
Suwo has guarded the Western Regions for many years and is known as the "King of Western Liang". If it weren't for his ten-year strategy of attacking the hearts of the enemy, the Turks would not have fallen into civil strife again and again, and the Tumen Khan Ashnasimo would not have died so early. If Ashina Simo is not dead, it is still two to say who will lose and who will win in the battles of Hexi and Mobei. The Western Regions will not be sinicized so quickly, "the world is all dressed in summer".
Everyone knows that if there is no sinicization of the Qin and Xia dynasties, it is difficult to say what the Central Plains will become in the future invasion of "Zhuhu". After all, according to the records of the Yan Dynasty, many Hu people were even happy to eat people, and in their mouths, this was called "two-legged sheep". However, after the Qin and Xia dynasties, even though the ethnic minorities invaded the Central Plains and dominated the land, most of the cultural foundation was the ideology of the Han people.
These alien races often claim to be the descendants of Qin Han, Su Wo, or Qin Zhao's sons, and are called "one family in the world". In order to suppress the Han Chinese, they will also consciously suppress the literati or Confucianism, and elevate the hundred schools, so that the academic community will not dominate one family.
No matter who dominates this land, the foundation of the Central Plains is still there, and it has never been clothed in a left hat, nor has it fallen back from a feudal society to a semi-slave and semi-feudal society.
Because of this, several emperors in the early Qin and Xia dynasties have always been the objects of much attention from historians, favored by literary works, and talked about by the people. Especially the Xia Wu Emperor Qin Wan's dynasty, which can be called brilliant.
There are only a handful of famous ministers and good generals who have been famous through the ages, but there are dozens of people in the Wu Dynasty, and when she reigned, she ended the situation of "exclusive respect for Confucianism", restored the pattern of "a hundred schools of thought", and retained the seeds of a hundred schools, which has continued to this day.
What's even more rare is that in addition to the fact that those who are crooked about her accession to the throne and oppose her rule on the grounds of gender may be slaughtered by her. Other people, as long as they stay in their posts and do practical things, even if they are the prime ministers who are powerful all over the world, or the capital protectors who have commanded the army for many years, they have all been respected and courteous by her, and they have all received a good death.
Throughout the dynasties, there are few emperors who can do this, which makes everyone full of curiosity about this female emperor.
What kind of person is she, how did she ascend the throne, who has she really loved in her life, and what kind of love, hatred, and grievances have she experienced?
With the progress of science and technology, the tombs of the emperors of Qin and Xia have been slowly unearthed, only the Yongling of Qin Wan, Emperor Wu of Qin Xia, is connected with the mountains and rivers, and there is an undercurrent surging. With the existing technology, it is simply impossible to excavate without damaging Yongling, and if you are not careful, you may even destroy Yongling. can only put this aside for the time being, and slowly piece together Qin Wan's appearance from the living notes and words in the documents accompanying the rest of the emperor's tombs.
Yongling did not open for a day, and those civil and military generals who were buried with the emperor's mausoleum, such as Wei Tuo, such as Pei Xi, such as Zhao Su, such as Ye Ling, these people illuminated a whole era like stars, and also deeply influenced the people of later generations, and there was no insight into the real life.
“…… After expert analysis, it was determined that the tomb in the ancient city was the tomb of King Suwo of Liang, which is extremely exciting......"
“…… Everyone knows that Emperor Xia Wu opened a precedent for sending princes and princesses to the frontier for training...... Throughout the reign of Emperor Wu of Xia, Confucianism was suppressed very badly. This strategy continued to her youngest son, Emperor Qin Zhao of Xia Ming......"
“…… During the reign of Qin Zhao, he recuperated and recuperated, so that Qin Xia, who had fought many wars one after another and almost exhausted his national strength, was restored...... During his reign, he treated the courtiers favorably and sympathized with the people, but after his death, there was a lot of noise in the court about his temple name......"
“…… Qin Zhao only had more than ten concubines in his life, five sons and four daughters, he was a very frugal emperor, and his relationship with the empress was also very good. The only time the two had a disagreement was in the case of their eldest son, who was a concubine. Qin Zhao wanted to send his eldest son to the Western Regions, but the queen knelt down and begged him, and the ministers also felt that it was inappropriate. He hesitated, but agreed......"
“…… But after that, he found that his eldest son was increasingly influenced by Confucianism and was very unhappy. The father and son gradually became suspicious, and for this reason, Qin Zhao has always refused to let go of the crown prince, which led to the later rebellion of the Lushu people. It also stained Qin Zhao's flawless reputation, and he almost couldn't get the temple name of 'Renzong'......"
“…… Everyone speculates that it is likely to be the handiwork of King Liang. Although King Liang is old, he does not forget the throne, but in the end he did not send troops, which makes people think deeply. I don't know if the excavation of the tomb of King Liang can find the living note of King Liang and bring us a satisfactory answer......"
With the deepening of the tomb cleaning work, new news comes out every day, especially in the past few days, the archaeological team is about to open the coffin of King Liang, Zhu Qiuxi will take out her mobile phone when she walks, and look for the latest reports - she doesn't know why she pays so much attention to this matter, just like she doesn't know why she has loved history since she was a child, and she is even more partial to Qin Xia Dynasty.
"Ahh ”
"It's fine!" It was a very handsome boy who was bumped into by her, and when he saw this, he shook his head, saw the scrolling content on her mobile phone, and said strangely, "You are also watching the latest progress of King Liang's tomb?" I thought girls would be scared of that! ”
Zhu Qiuxi pursed her lips and smiled: "No, these are very interesting!" ”
"All the same, my name is Xie Yu." Xie Yu winked at her and whispered, "I heard that King Liang is holding a letter in his hand. ”
When Zhu Qiuxi heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Letter? You...... Where did you hear that? ”
"Inside information, of course!" Xie Yu said mysteriously, "That letter has rotted so badly that it is almost impossible to read, and it needs to be restored with the latest technology, and I don't know if it will succeed." Many people are guessing who wrote this letter and why King Liang still held it before he died. ”
Hearing him say this, Zhu Qiuxi was skeptical: "Really? ”
Why do you think, so similar to the plot in it?
"Of course it's true! How could I lie to you! ”
After Xie Yan couldn't say that he was a high-ranking official, there happened to be elders in the family who participated in this excavation work, because of his attention to this matter, and he only got the first-hand information with a dead face. I was going to have it to myself, but this girl ...... As soon as he saw this girl, he couldn't wait to give her everything in the world, and in front of him, he lost all his composure and became stupid.
Zhu Qiuxi didn't know Xie Yu's tangled heart, she had been accosted many times, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that Xie Yu seemed to be deliberately looking for an excuse to pick up a girl, and after politely thanking her, she found an excuse to leave, but she kept thinking about what happened just now.
Is King Liang really holding a letter in his hand?
Who wrote that letter, it was so important, so important that King Liang was thinking about it when he was dying, and he must hold it firmly and bring it into the soil?
No one knew that a thousand years ago, Suvo once received a letter.
From his mother.
Qin Wan wrote in the letter that she had decided to make Qin Zhao the crown prince and hoped that Su Wo would accept this decision.
Just by reading this sentence, Su Wo sneered in his heart, why? What's like me? Besides, I have the merits of three great battles, how can you say that if you don't stand up, you won't stand up?
As if guessing that he would think like this, Qin Wan said again, if today, the warrior is in charge, this is a good thing. But after three wars, the people needed to recuperate. Suvo could not be willing to be stable, with his character, he did not continue to expand externally and be reckless; It is to spend energy on infighting and suppress those military generals who are arrogant because of their merits, which is not what Qin Wan wants to see.
She knew that Su Wo couldn't tolerate others being smarter than herself, and she couldn't tolerate anyone to damage his face and make him unhappy, and he needed everyone to be his slaves, to be obedient to him, and not to be disrespectful.
But the emperor, sometimes, wants to "let".
Su Wo is indeed smarter than Qin Zhao and Qin Han, and the country handed over to him may be better than Qin Zhao's governance, but he governs the country with fear, hoping to completely control everyone. Once he ascends to the throne, those loyal ministers and good generals who have worked hard for Great Xia and put their lives on the line may not be able to get a good death. These people may just say a wrong word, and they will tremble, and the whole family will suffer misfortune.
On the contrary, if Qin Zhao ascended the throne, he would have a loyal personality and be tolerant of others. The ministers will not fall into fear, and they will be able to devote more energy to governing the country by spending too much effort on self-preservation.
Qin Wan also said that she hoped that Su Wo could restrain this temperament and treat others with sincerity. Otherwise, when he can control those people, those people will naturally be obedient and obedient. But when he can't control those people, it will be his catastrophe, and Ashina Simo, who was defeated in Monan, is a lesson from the past.
Joke! Joke!
What kind of person is Ashnasimo, what am I, how could I be in such a situation!
Su Wo almost tore the letterhead to shreds, but when he saw Qin Wan's last line of words, he paused.
For some reason, he read the letter quietly, for a long, long time. Finally, in the incredulous gaze of all, respectfully, the Hajj to the new king.
Everyone thought that he was a wolf and would definitely rebel, but the timing was wrong, so he didn't raise the flag. Even the eldest son of his good brother, seeing that Qin Zhao was disgusted with himself day by day, and he didn't have the idea of establishing a prince for a long time, he couldn't bear it, and sent someone to contact him secretly, and made an appointment to do things together, and after saying that after the thing was done, he would be named the real king of Xiliang, "West of Tongguan is the land of Xiliang."
Ha, Qin Zhao, look at it, this is your son, what a thing!
Su Wo knew that the kid had a thief's heart and no thief's guts, and if he didn't agree, the kid wouldn't dare to rebel for the rest of his life. He pretended to agree to cooperate and tricked the kid into rebelling, forcing Qin Zhao to have to stab his parents and son, not to mention damaging Qin Zhao's reputation, and also slashing his heart.
Qin Zhao knew what he was doing in this matter, but he only said one word to him:
"When my mother was dying, she told me that if my brother gave me a point, I would give me ten points; If my brother does 12 points, I can only do 1 point at most. This is what my mother owes to my brother, and I, as a son of man, must do it. ”
Haha, owed me?
I'm not unusual, do you hear me? I, Suvo, am not uncommon!
Everything you have, it's just that I don't rob it! It's just that I don't rob it!
After that, he never returned to Chang'an.
In the Taiji Palace, the folds of Shen He were piled up into a mountain, but Qin Zhao was indifferent. Su Wo sneered, and continued to be drunk and dreaming of death in the Western Regions.
He went on like this for many years, when he suddenly fell ill and could not get up again.
When he lingered on the sickbed, he suddenly saw a lot of things clearly:
The charming concubine had an affair with his son, and the respectful and filial son hoped that he would die soon, and the resigned attendant ran to the new master, and the supple and decent Xu Xian smiled and fed him poison.
The reason why he was not killed immediately was just that his sons had to pull his tiger skin to make a banner in order to break their heads for the throne.
At that moment, Su Wo suddenly realized that Qin Wan was not wrong at all.
He controls others with interests, holds the other party's net worth and life, and enjoys his fears, so naturally he will not have any confidants. Therefore, when he collapsed on the hospital bed, it was difficult to speak, and he could no longer give so much, and there was no one around him to accompany him to the end.
Just like the Duke of Qi Huan, the first male lord, after his death, the body was placed on the bed for sixty-seven days, and the maggots were uncontrolled.
Perhaps, he will also fall to this point.
But he didn't.
Because Qin Zhao sent someone.
Without Suwo's Xiliang, how could anyone be the opponent of Great Xia? The grinning beasts obediently tied their hands, and the officials from Chang'an respectfully asked him who he wanted to make his son.
He chose his youngest son, who was only six years old, and in the name of the young son, he implored Qin Zhao to send someone to help take care of Liang's internal affairs.
This was the first time he had been soft on Qin Zhao, and Qin Zhao not only agreed, but not only sent several husbands who were both civil and military to be the teachers of the prince, but also sent the third prince Qin Nai.
Su Wo knew that Qin Nai was very likely to become the next Emperor of Great Xia, and this was Qin Zhao's care for him, so he gladly accepted this decision.
Then, he called the only second son, who was not involved in the struggle for the throne, to come over.
The second son has a cowardly personality, and he can hide when he encounters things, and he has never been liked by him. In this life, it may be the first time he said to his second son in such a gentle tone: "I will give you 10,000 people, you take your wife and children, your relatives, and loyal subordinates to leave Liangguo and go to the west and north, anywhere." ”
"The Great Xia Emperor and I are brothers, and they can tolerate me, but his son may not be able to tolerate you. I didn't make you the son of the world, and I let you go, all to save your life. ”
"No matter where you go, you must always remember not to lose the Han people's clothing heritage."
"You are the son of my Suvo, and you have the blood of the Great Xia royal family in your body, you have to keep it in mind. You are different from those barbarians, you have to educate the barbarians along the way, and you have to let everyone know. The bloodline of the Great Xia royal family is not only in Chang'an, but also in the Western Regions! ”
There is no dynasty in the world that will last forever, and one day, Great Xia will also be taken by a new dynasty. The rulers of the new dynasty may not have smeared and whitewashed the history books for their own needs.
But he can leave the tinder.
One day, if the northwestern nomads enter the Central Plains, they will find it impossible not to be assimilated by this land. If they want to take root here for a long time, they can only take the first step and tell everyone that our ancestors are also Han Chinese, with royal blood.
He didn't know how much he could do in the future, but ...... It was the only thing he could do.
Suvo opened the yellowed letter for the last time, and at the end, there were tears in his eyes.
Qin Wan told him that the reason why she chose Qin Zhao was not only public, but also selfish.
[What I wish in this life is only fairness. 】
In her life, because she is a woman, she has gone far more bitter and bumpy than others along the way, discarded a lot for the throne, and slowly picked up a lot.
By the end of the day, she had nothing more to ask for than one wish.
It is also her strongest, most hopeful, and most difficult wish from the beginning to the end.
In this life, Qin Wan only wants to be treated fairly.
It's not about women and men, just as "people".
That's all.
As for the rest, whether it is the past or the posthumous name, it doesn't matter anymore.
"You've been right about everything you've said before, but this time it's ......" Suvo slowly closed his eyes, feeling like he had never felt so relaxed. The corners of his lips rose slightly, revealing a sincere smile that he hadn't had for decades, "What Qin Zhao can continue is only your reputation for a hundred years, but I can raise your reputation for thousands of years." ”
"I ...... I'm going to see you soon, right? That's great! ”
"The moment I met you, I must tell you. Your last wish is not Qin Zhao, nor Qin Han, but I, Su Wo, have done it for you! ”
At this time, he vaguely heard someone asking: "Your Royal Highness King Liang, Your Majesty ordered Weichen to ask, do you want to be buried in Yongling?" ”
"Don't disturb your mother's restful sleep." In the haze, he seemed to hear himself reply, "I won't go back to Chang'an, just build a simple tomb for me here." ”
"Remember, be in the east, face east."
That's me...... The direction of home.
