Chapter 875: The Huge Afang Palace
All the way, Tang Dou and Guo Qiang took turns driving, and finally arrived at the ancient capital after fifteen hours. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, it was already midnight the next day, Tang Dou naturally did not bother the old men, the two of them casually found a hotel to rest for the night, and waited until dawn to talk to the three old men on the phone, after learning where the old men lived, Tang Dou hurried over.
The three old men and the archaeological team they led were staying in a hotel near the ruins of the palace at this time, but they had been here for several days, but they were still not allowed to carry out archaeological activities in the ruins.
For the three old men to lead the team, the provincial and municipal governments of the ancient capital have shown great enthusiasm for welcome, but after a few days, the provincial and municipal governments have been avoiding substantive issues.
Without the approval of the provincial and municipal governments of the ancient capital, the archaeological activities of the old men could not be carried out.
After Tang Dou asked clearly, he frowned and looked at the three old men and asked, "Has the exact location of the underground palace been determined?" ”
Speaking of this, the three old men became angry: "The location has been roughly determined, but there is a bullshit Afang Palace scenic spot built on it." ”
"Afang Palace Scenic Area?" Tang Dou couldn't help but start to have a headache.
If it is only a vacant land, with the energy of the three old men, there must be no big problem in carrying out archaeological activities, and if it is really not possible, it will be pulled into a national archaeological research unit, such as the Chinese Institute of Archaeology or the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, but if there is any cultural landscape on the underground palace now, then it will invisibly increase the difficulty of archaeology.
Tang Dou looked at the three old men and asked, "Why don't we go over and have a look?" ”
"Okay, the three of us are waiting for you to come over and determine the specific location, let's go, let's go now." Old Zhou stood up and helped Qin Yanpei up.
After all, what Tang Dou gave was only a coordinate, according to Tang Dou, the scale of the underground palace he built was huge, and only one coordinate could not determine the exact location of the underground palace against the surface, only Tang Dou, the party, could say clearly.
Arrange the accompanying archaeological team members to move freely, Tang Dou supported Yang Yiyan, and Zhou Lao helped Qin Yanpei out of the hotel, and walked along the sidewalk on the side of the road in the direction of Afang Palace Scenic Area.
After walking for about ten minutes, the rammed earth mound about seven or eight meters high at the ruins of Afang Palace faintly appeared in front.
Zhou Lao pointed to the rammed earth mound in the distance and said: "There is the ruins of Afang Palace, not far from the ruins is the Afang Palace Scenic Area, and the coordinates you gave us are in the heart of that scenic spot." ”
Looking at the looming rammed earth mound in the distance, Tang Dou couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
He has not seen what the Afang Palace looked like after it was built, or he didn't dare to take a look, and the historical records recorded that Qin Shihuang had died before the Afang Palace was built.
But the Xianyang Palace has already been deeply rooted in his mind, and countless people who haunt him have also been engraved into his mind.
After two thousand years of ups and downs, now Xianyang Palace has long become a barren rammed earth mound in front of him, and his Princess Haoyue has long disappeared in the long river of history.
That girl, I haven't been to see her for a long time, I don't know what she's doing now?
Tang Dou thoughtfully supported Yang Yiyan and followed behind Qin Yanpei and Zhou Lao, and walked for about a cigarette, Zhou Lao pointed to an antique building complex in the distance and said, "Across the road is the Afang Palace Scenic Area." ”
"This is the Afang Palace Scenic Area?" Seeing the majestic antique building complex that had been revealed across the road in the distance, Tang Dou shook his head with a smile.
Afang Palace is expanded on the basis of his Xianyang Palace, and the two important parts of the main building of Xianyang Palace are the two parts that are called the gate of the Afang Palace and the front hall by later generations, and the forbidden place where he lives is called Lanchi Palace, which is a quiet place surrounded by water.
According to the design drawings shown to him by Li Si, Afang Palace only added the Six Nations Palace, the Lying Bridge, the Upper Roof, the Altar of Sacrifice and other places on the original basis of the Xianyang Palace, and of course there are corridors, pavilions and other landscapes dotted among them.
Although the antique building complex in front of him looks magnificent enough from a distance, it is completely unrelated to the Afang Palace known by Tang Dou, not to mention anything else, just say that on this scale, the antique building complex in front of him is the most condensed landscape, and it has shrunk countless times, and the architectural style and main structure are not so much, it is completely imaginary by the builder himself, and it has nothing to do with the real Afang Palace at all.
In front of the gate of the palace, how many famous people in history have Tang Dou ushered in? Wei Wuji, Lian Po, and Longyang Jun ......, and even he received King Han Li and King Wei Anjiao after returning to Qin.
And the big palace gate in the distance in front of him can only make him hehe.
Tang Dou took out the locator from his bag, fiddled with it as he walked, and suddenly stopped with a sigh.
"What's wrong?" Yang, who was supported by Tang Dou, asked with a glance.
Tang Dou carefully confirmed the coordinate location, looked at the three old men affirmatively and said: "Now this place under our feet should be the location of the big palace gate of Xianyang Palace, the Afang Palace designed by Li Si, the three main buildings of Xianyang Palace have not been changed, and the big palace gate of Xianyang Palace is also the big palace gate of Afang Palace." ”
The three old men are all eyebrows, there is still a long distance from the Afang Palace Scenic Area, and it is even farther away from the Afang Palace Ruins, how can there be such a big deviation?
"Are you sure this is where the Great Palace Gate is?" Qin Yanpei looked at Tang Dou and asked.
Tang Dou fiddled with the locator in his hand again, nodded and confirmed, "I'm sure." ”
There are so few pedestrians and not many cars on the road that no one notices them.
Tang Dou put away the locator, took out the compass from his shoulder bag, confirmed the direction, adjusted the direction of standing, and pointed with his finger and said: "The palace gate is about one hundred and sixty meters long and about fifty meters wide from east to west, and the palace walls on both sides are eight hundred meters long, the east should be from this position to the vicinity of the village over there, and the west should be from here to that end......"
"So big?" The three old men were all shocked by the scope that Tang Dou pointed out.
Tang Dou smiled and pointed across the road in front of him and said: "This is just the big palace gate, from here this area is the front hall square, the front hall square is a rectangle, six hundred meters wide, nine hundred meters long, when Wang Jian tried to ride an ironclad war horse in the square, it takes about a hot tea to run a lap." ”
The three old men swallowed their saliva in unison, they also heard Tang Dou carefully describe Afang Palace for the first time, they knew that the scale of Afang Palace in the history books was very large, so it was also called Acheng, but they didn't expect that the scale of Afang Palace would be so huge.
"After the square is the front hall, the front hall is more than 600 meters wide from east to west, 100 meters wide from north to south, in addition to the central hall in the front hall, there are 36 east and west side halls, 72 ear halls, and then go back is a garden, and then it is where I live, probably in that position......"
Let's say yes, Tang Dou pointed all the way, and the four of them crossed the road and unconsciously walked to the gate of the antique building Afang Palace that they had just seen in the distance.
Tang Dou stopped, took out the locator to confirm it, looked up at the 'Afang Palace' in front of him, and couldn't help frowning slightly. (To be continued.) )
