Except for Li Gui, all the people left the palace one after another. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Liu Yu looked at Li Gui and asked, "Li Gui, do you have anything else?" ”
"My lord, I have an idea below, but this method is difficult to speak. Despised by the world. So I want to tell the Lord in private. Li Gui has a way, but he doesn't dare to say it in front of so many people.
Liu Yu didn't expect Li Gui to have a way, and asked, "What is the way?" ”
"This ・・・・・" Li Gui looked a little embarrassed, and spoke heavily.
"Don't say it quickly, it's a waste of Lao Tzu's time." Liu Yu scolded directly.
Li Gui no longer hesitated, and said: "Lord, in fact, there is a huge amount of wealth in front of the lord right now, but the lord didn't expect it. ”
Liu Yu was puzzled and said, "Is there such a good thing?" ”
"Lord, haven't you ever thought about the riches of the dead?" Li Gui asked rhetorically.
Liu Yu finally understood, isn't the wealth of the dead just tomb robbing. The ancient tombs had a large number of burial goods, and the ancients believed that the death of a person was not the end, but another beginning, and various supplies were prepared in the mausoleum, so that it was convenient to go to another world to continue to enjoy. There are many types of these burial varieties, and there are even a lot of gold and silver, which is what Li Gui said about the wealth of the dead.
Liu Yu said: "You mean to dig up the mausoleum and collect the gold and silver inside?" ”
"Yes! The lord is wise. Li Gui knew that Liu Yu could understand what he meant.
"Bastard, you're discrediting this king. Where in the world is there a vassal king who digs up someone else's grave? Dong Zhuo dug it up, did you see what happened to him? Liu Yu scolded.
"Lord, the little one didn't say that he wanted the lord to do it with great fanfare. We can do it privately. The lord can let the dark department organize a team of people who specialize in this thing, and secretly do this kind of thing for the lord. The lord can also use the name of reclamation to dig up some ownerless graves. A small guarantee will definitely not affect the reputation of the lord. Being scolded by Liu Yu, Li Gui didn't care, and made various suggestions to Liu Yu.
"No, this king has always been benevolent and righteous, and he can't do such a lack of virtue as digging people's graves." Liu Yu said solemnly.
Li Gui was a little disappointed, it seemed that he couldn't get Liu Yu's consent to this method.
It's just that Liu Yu changed his words and said leisurely: "Although this king is benevolent and righteous, he has no time to control too much, and sometimes some of his subordinates act spontaneously, and this king is also helpless." But their faithfulness is known to the king, and he will not blame them. You, Li Gui, are the leader of the dark department, and there are some things that you should worry about this king. Got it? ”
Li Gui smiled. Of course Li Gui understood. Liu Yu wants fame, and the matter of robbing the tomb is definitely not something that Liu Yu, a benevolent and righteous king, can do. But the behavior of his subordinates is not something that Liu Yu can control. Then it is a tacit acquiescence to Li Gui's proposal, as long as you don't let others know. Typical of being a bitch, but also to set up a torii.
"Don't worry, the small ones must be done properly, and they won't cause trouble to the lord." Li Gui patted his chest and said.
Of course, Liu Yu agreed with Li Gui's suggestion, but he couldn't agree openly, if he let others know that he had this idea, he wouldn't be able to explain it to others in the future. Li Gui is very clever and knows what Liu Yu means.
Liu Yu nodded and said, "You can control it yourself." This king is a little sleepy, so you can go down first. ”
Li Gui smiled and said, "Obey!" ”
In the following days, Li Gui quickly set up a special tomb robbery team and personally assumed the leadership of this team. There are really a lot of talents in the "dark department", and there are also people who make a living by robbing tombs in this era, and people with experience in organizing tomb robbing are not a problem.
This team continued to go deep into various mausoleums, dug up all the gold and silver utensils inside, and then restored the mausoleum to its original condition, and the others could not find out that the mausoleum had been stolen.
Almost the entire mausoleum in Luoyang was patronized by this tomb robbery team, which brought Liu Yu great wealth. Liu Yu was overjoyed and gave the team the name of "Nuggets". All treatment is treated according to the highest treatment of the "dark department".
With such a lofty name and high treatment, the members of the Nuggets team worked even harder, and even lurked in the territories of other princes and began to rob tombs. Li Gui may have been born to do these dark side things, and soon invented various tomb robbery techniques without a teacher, improved work efficiency, and recorded all such skills and wrote a book, which was regarded as a must-read classic for tomb robbers by later generations, and became an important theoretical knowledge for tomb robbers. Let Liu Yu sigh that Li Gui is very capable.
And Cao Cao also set up a gold school captain in the future, specializing in stealing gold and silver from the mausoleum.
Nuggets and gold touching became the title of tomb robbers in later generations. And Li Gui, who was the first to set up a tomb robbery team and passed down the classic theory, was also called the ancestor by the tomb robbers of later generations, and all the tomb robbers would bow to the place where Li Gui's tomb was located before acting, hoping that the ancestor could bless himself with a huge harvest today. All the graves in later generations, tomb robbers dared to steal and dig, but the only one who did not dare to move was Li Gui's grave. Just kidding, I robbed the tomb of my grandfather, and I don't want to get mixed up in the tomb robbery industry. This article was written into the headline ban by all tomb robbers.
So much so that Li Gui's tomb was preserved for nearly a thousand years, and it was not until later generations of archaeologists used the name of official archaeology that Li Gui's tomb was opened. The situation inside Li Gui's tomb makes archaeologists very strange. The mausoleum was very rudimentary, and there were many measures to prevent theft, and there were no gold or silver utensils in it.
Li Gui may know that he has done a lot of immoral things, and he is worried that someone will dig up his tomb in the future and disturb his purity. So before he died, he instructed his descendants not to put too many burial goods in the mausoleum, and simply put some supplies, and at the same time burned his deeds with Liu Yu in a stone slab, of course, they were all upright things, and the dark side of the matter was not mentioned a word. This slate has provided a lot of valuable information for later archaeologists. Archaeologists are also very puzzled about how Li Gui, one of Liu Yu's important ministers, could be so simple, and there was no gold or silver in the burial goods. In the end, Li Gui was defined as an honest and honest official, and some people even made a TV series to praise Li Gui. Li Gui's reputation rose in later generations and he was known as one of the most powerful officials around Liu Yu.
The archaeologists' excavation of Li Gui's tomb angered later generations of tomb robbers, and then they began to retaliate, resulting in various key cultural relics mausoleums being patronized by tomb robbers who claimed to be Li Gui's descendants. The state had to try its best to suppress this gang of rampant tomb robbers, so that the tomb robbing industry lost a lot of talents, and finally the talents withered.
But that's all for another time.
