Chapter 133: The Mysterious Ark of the Covenant

At the beginning of 1862, the Tokugawa family's new army faction led by Okubo Toshitsu and Saigo Takamori led the Tokugawa family to break through the Tokugawa family's castle tower in Edo, and the last shogun, Tokugawa Ieshige, committed suicide, and the shogunate rule came to an end.

In March 1862, the Shimazu Domain and the Choshu Domain joined forces to form the so-called Imperial Faction, which marched eastward in an attempt to capture Kyoto and control King Takaaki of Japan, who believed in the 14th Tokugawa shogun Ieshige. In other words, Emperor Komei himself was a "Komu Cooperative Sashoku faction" that tended to maintain a harmonious relationship with the Tokugawa shogunate. However, the aspirants of Sacho Tohi grasped the trend of the times, and Okubo Ritsu and others advocated the "founding of the country". However, Emperor Xiaomei stubbornly insisted on "closing the country and destroying the country". So Hyomyung doesn't like either faction, but controlling Hyomyung is important for both factions.

On March 13, 1862, a combined fleet led by Cheng Cheng, commander of the North Sea Squadron of the Chinese Empire, and Katsu Kaishu, Minister of the Japanese Navy, annihilated the Tosa Domain's navy in the Tosa Domain and the Seto Inland Sea in the northern part of Shikoku Island, and landed in Gyeonggi on the 15th.

On 19 March, government forces occupied Kyoto.

On April 2, 1862, King Takaaki of Japan and the royal family arrived in Edo, and at the same time, Hayashi Hiroshi had the cabinet issue the "Toei Imperial Decree" on Japanese affairs in his name, declaring the Okubo government the legitimate government of Japan and demanding that the Japanese feudal domains renounce resistance and accept the rule of the Okubo government.

On April 4, Takaaki issued an edict declaring the Okubo government the legitimate government of Japan, and at the same time announcing that he would accept the edict of Emperor Hayashi Hiroshi.

On April 5, the royal faction led by Shimazu declared Okubo and others rebellious, and decided to launch a campaign to protect the king and welcome the king.

A big war is inevitable, and Lin Hong also knows that there are British and French shadows behind the feudal states of Shimazu, but he doesn't care that what he wants is for Japan to mess up, and finally he will come forward to clean up this mess.

But he now had more important things to do, because the Imperial Museum was about to open to the public, and it was located in the same location as the later National Museum, but on a larger scale, because it had not only domestic exhibits but also artifacts from dependent countries, colonies, Egypt, Central America, and Europe.

The National Museum of the Empire of China is a comprehensive museum that attaches equal importance to history and art, integrating collection, exhibition, research, archaeology, public education and cultural exchange. It belongs to His Majesty Lin Hong, the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, which means that this museum is completely Lin Hong's private property, and of course, Lin Hong pays for the maintenance and other expenses of the museum.

With a total construction area of nearly 200,000 square meters, more than 820 pieces of collections and 68 exhibition halls, the museum is the largest museum in the world and one of the museums with the richest collection of cultural relics in the world. Among them, the Chinese Pavilion has the largest area and the largest collection, followed by the Egyptian Pavilion, in recent years, the imperial archaeological team has developed a total of 138 Egyptian mausoleums with the help of the drawings provided by "Shangfeng", and has obtained countless cultural relics in the collection, and these treasures have all been transported to the National Museum for research and exhibition. In addition, there are many branch museums such as the European Pavilion, the Greek Pavilion, the Ethiopian Pavilion, etc., among which there is a special cemetery in the European Pavilion where Leonardo da Vinci's bones are placed. The Imperial Museum is also a world-class museum alongside the British Museum.

Of course, the reasons that can attract Lin Hong in person are not only these, for which even Prime Minister Chen Kejie was puzzled, so he had to respectfully accompany Lin Hong, speaking of which it has been almost forty years since he crossed into this world, but Lin Hong's is still the same young man in his twenties, nothing has changed, which is also a recognized secret of the empire, for which many people think that their emperor is a god, because he has never grown old, and the domestic scientific community has never discussed this issue.

Chen Kejie, who is nearly half a hundred years old, looks like he is old.

Dagu Port, on the dock of the Royal Shipyard, an ordinary large sail merchant ship is slowly docking under the traction of the barge, this merchant ship looks no different from other ordinary merchant ships in China, only the people on board know that this seemingly ordinary merchant ship is not only equipped with the 70mm caliber naval guns common to the imperial cruisers, and even a 120mm main gun firepower is not weaker than the current locust class, and each crew member is the elite of the elite selected by the empire, selected from the major special combat teams, In order to protect the things on board.

And the reason why Lin Hong came in person today is entirely because of the Ark of the Covenant, yes, the Ark of the Covenant, the mysterious Ark of the Covenant.

Seeing the large boxes unloaded from the ship, Chen Kejie was puzzled and said: "Your Majesty, this is just a batch of cultural relics shipped from Egypt and East Africa, haven't we received several ships before, is there anything special about this ship?" ”

"Huh! Of course you'll see! Lin Hongshen said with a mysterious smile.

At this time, an officer wearing a special black military uniform walked up to Lin Hong and saluted: "Lin Shen, the captain of the Royal Guard Special Operations Team, see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!" ”

"Hehe, okay, let's be courteous! You have worked so hard for the Empire, and I am really gratified. If you work hard, the empire will not be stingy with honor. ”

Lin Shen stood on his feet and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Thank you Empire, Your Majesty, I'll take you to see the YG1 item! ”

"Good!" In order to cover the return of cultural relics, the general cultural relics are renumbered yg1, which is the ark of the covenant.

"What? Not on board? Watching Lin Shen walk towards the warehouse with him, Lin Hong asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty, in fact, our archaeological team and archaeological transport ships, Britain and France have always been monitored, and it is common for us to stumble, and we often find trouble with them, so this time, because this item is too important, we dropped the bag when we were in Yangon and let the navy's warships transport it back."

"Well done!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

In a huge warehouse, YG1 stayed alone in the middle, and as Lin Shen opened the lid of the outer box, Lin Hong and Chen Kejie couldn't help but lean up, and a golden thing like a sedan chair in a Korean drama appeared in front of Lin Hong.

This is Lin Hong stunned for a moment, because he suddenly received a message from the system, you must know that in the past ten years, except for Lin Hong taking the initiative to ask the system, the system has never sent a message, "The energy of the plane of the low god mansion has been discovered, and it is being tested"

Does God really exist? The Ark of the Covenant was a wooden ark containing two stone tablets with the Ten Commandments inscribed, a sprouted walking staff used by Moses' brother Aaron, and a jar of gold containing the manna that the Israelites had eaten during their wandering days in the wilderness. Lin Hong knew that the Ark of the Covenant was a sacred relic for the Israelites, and no one was allowed to touch the Ark of the Covenant without permission. According to the Bible, a man was struck by lightning for touching the Ark of the Covenant. Moreover, outsiders who peered through the tent doors of the Holy of Holies found that clouds were often gathering above the Ark of the Covenant. But later scientists deduced from these records that a simple biological battery may have been placed inside the Ark of the Covenant, like the one found in ancient Egyptian tombs. The accumulation of electricity causes water vapor to accumulate and electrocuts those who touch it, but direct current cannot kill people, which is why the Ark of the Covenant has always been a temple vessel of great mystery.

Shaking his head, Lin Hong became more interested in the ark of the covenant, and Chen Kejie next to him looked at the emperor's strange appearance and said, "Is there anything wrong with Your Majesty?" ”

"Nothing! Lin Shen sent it to the Old Summer Palace! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that the prime minister wanted to ask something, Lin Hong beckoned and said, "Let's go!" We have to rush back to Beijing and attend Leonardo da Vinci's burial ceremony in the afternoon! ”

"Your Majesty."
