Chapter 70: Returning to the Truth
After a general look, Xiang Luyang found that this was a brief introduction to the life of the tomb owner, as well as the origin of the tomb, as well as the tomb owner's personal opinions on Taoism and the Five Elements Gossip.
The owner of this tomb is named Zhao Guizhen, self-proclaimed Guizhen Daojun, entered the palace in the second year of the Tang Dynasty Baoli, was deeply appreciated by Tang Jingzong, was named the national teacher, and can enter and exit the court and harem at any time, mainly responsible for the emperor's research of immortal art and elixir of immortality.
After he entered the palace, he was squeezed out by the powerful ministers at that time, and jointly wrote that he was bewitching the public and cholera the dynasty, but Jingzong did not think so, and still trusted him, he used this trust to begin to cultivate his own power, and then eliminated those who opposed him one by one.
After all the obstacles were cleared, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty became his minions, and the days became comfortable, but the comfortable days were too long, and he had crooked thoughts again, he wanted to use the emperor's trust in him, cultivate his own power, and plan to seek a usurpation of the throne and take the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop.
After some preparations, he got rid of Jingzong, but he did not ascend the throne as the emperor himself, but supported a Li Ang who he thought was the most useless to be the emperor, the emperor was Wenzong, but he didn't expect that after this Li Ang ascended the throne, he changed the decadence when he was the prince, and began to work hard, and it didn't take half a year to eradicate all his henchmen, and he also expelled himself from the Jingshi, and he was never allowed to enter.
After leaving Beijing, Zhao Guizhen went to Youzhou, at that time, Youzhou, because it was located on the border, was still relatively wild and backward, Zhao Guizhen worked hard here for more than ten years, and once developed his Taoist temple into a store above the government.
Soldiers accumulate grain, forge weapons, Zhao Guizhen has been preparing to attack Li Ang's country, but it backfired, just in the second year when he just started to garrison, Youzhou began to suffer disasters year after year, either drought or waterlogging, ordinary people have fled from the famine, and later even the soldiers also joined the army of fleeing famine, and for a time the results of their own painstaking management for more than ten years have come to naught.
The disheartened Zhao Guizhen no longer had the ambition to overthrow the Li Tang Dynasty, but began to painstakingly study the Taoist method and cast weapons.
He also used the Xuantie he collected to create seven peerless divine weapons, but when the sixth divine weapon was completed, he suddenly felt that his limit was approaching, and after coming to the tomb that he had built for himself in advance, Zhao Guizhen moved the military book and all the six weapons into it for his own burial.
At this point, the useful content is basically over, and the rest is some of Zhao Guizhen's sighs, as well as his grievances about God's injustice, and his praise of his unproven military books, Xiang Luyang is not interested in reading it.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Ye Qiushui walked over and saw Xiang Luyang stunned under the shadow wall, so he came over.
Xiang Luyang pointed out the words on the wall to her, Ye Qiushui briefly glanced at the words, and said, "I know this Zhao Guizhen." ”
Xiang Luyang looked at her and said, "Do you know if you are a policeman or a historian?" ”
Ye Qiushui glanced at him and said: "The police can't have a personal hobby, in addition to my own work, what I like to see most is some strange historical knowledge." ”
Xiang Luyang said: "Since you know, then you can talk about this Zhao Guizhen." ”
Ye Qiushui said: "This Zhao Guizhen is not as godly as he himself said, he is a charlatan who does not learn and has no skills, relying on a mouth, he bluffed Tang Jingzong, and when Jingzong was in the second year, he entered the court as an official and was given a false title. ”
"After Wenzong ascended the throne, he saw that he was not guilty of any major crimes, so he opened the net, and did not pursue him for bewitching the monarch, and after beating a stick, he drove him out of Chang'an City with two monks."
"After leaving Chang'an, there is no record of this Zhao Guizhen in history."
Xiang Luyang said: "But looking at the scale of this tomb, I estimate that it should be true that he went to Youzhou in the later period, do you think, if he doesn't have a certain amount of financial resources or power, if he wants to build such a big tomb in a desolate place like Youzhou, is it a bit unlikely?" ”
Ye Qiushui said: "Financial resources are definitely needed, but forces are not necessarily needed, Youzhou back then was not as desolate as he said, not only was it not desolate, but it could also be regarded as a rich land."
At that time, although Youzhou was located on the border, but because the Tang Dynasty and the Xiongnu had no war, the lives of ordinary people were also good, and at that time, the wind of the Yin Mansion was very popular in the Tang Dynasty, as long as it was a person with a little money, he could build a tomb for himself, and the government would not interfere. ”
Xiang Luyang shook his head and said: "This demon Dao, if you die, you still have to brag and deceive people here, if it weren't for you, who understands, I would have almost regarded this place as a treasure trove." ”
Ye Qiushui said: "You can't say that, this Zhao Guizhen should still have some real skills, you can see the tomb door and the mechanism in the tomb, this is not something that ordinary people can do, although he may not be as divine as he said, but there is still a certain value here." ”
Xiang Luyang said: "You will step on him for a while, and you will hold him for a while, you will confuse me, what kind of person is this Zhao Guizhen!" ”
Ye Qiushui tilted his head and thought for a while: "Let me tell you this, my evaluation of this Zhao Guizhen is, "A person who has some ability, but is very capable of bragging." "Do you understand that?"
Xiang Luyang gave a thumbs up and said to Ye Qiushui: "Incisive! ”
Ye Qiushui said: "Okay, don't think about it here, let's take a look here, we haven't found Zhao Guizhen's coffin yet!" ”
Xiang Luyang said: "This is such a big place, so far I haven't found Zhao Guizhen's coffin there?" ”
Ye Qiushui said: "What's strange about this, a person like Zhao Guizhen can't do anything, maybe there is no coffin for him here." ”
Seeing that Ye Qiushui was still worried about Zhao Guizhen's design mechanism to scare people, Xiang Luyang said: "Forget it, don't worry so much, it's our own house, and we don't like people to disturb us casually, not to mention that this is still the place where Zhao Guizhen is buried, and it is understandable to use a little defensive means." ”
Ye Qiushui thought about it, after all, his own line of people was an intruder, and it was natural for him to suffer a little and be a little frightened.
Just as the two of them were about to search room by room, Marco's voice came from inside a house, calling everyone over, and it seemed that something had been found.
