Chapter 10: The True Secret of the Wordless Monument
Since the first two guesses Niu Kelian did not react, then there is only this last possibility left in my mind.
So I no longer hesitated, rubbed the mountain and sea ring in my left hand to confirm it again and again in my mind, and told Niu Kelian my final conclusion.
"Although it was Guan Shan who helped Wu Zetian ascend to the throne, and in the end, it was Guan Shan who asked her to hand over power and return to Zhongzong Li Xian, but she clearly knew that after all, the emperor on the bright side was herself, so after her death, people would have all kinds of evaluations of her life, and it was difficult to write this inscription well or badly, so it was decided to set up a wordless monument, and leave it to future generations to comment."
I thought that this was the reason why the wordless tablet was not engraved, but I didn't expect that after informing Niu Kelian of my conclusion, he shook his head and easily rejected the conclusion I had reached.
"Chief, although your thinking angle is good, but these are the speculations of later generations on the wordless stele, no matter how the descendants speculate, but after all, they don't know the original choice of the Empress Wu, these are not the fundamental reasons why the Empress Wu did not engrave a word on the stele.
Empress Wu's life is a legend, whether it is boasting of herself or admitting her guilt, these are not in line with the psychology of Empress Wu, the reason why she set up this wordless monument, and do not engrave a word on the tablet, in fact, there is only one reason. ”
Hearing this, Shen Lang finally couldn't help but be full of doubts, he looked at Niu Kelian and asked in a voice that was almost wailing.
"My brother Niu, no, my brother Niu, my brother, don't sell it, tell me quickly, what is the reason?"
Niu Kelian saw Shen Lang's pleading appearance, and he was embarrassed to hesitate, so he turned his gaze to me, but what he said once again subverted our cognition.
"The fundamental reason why Empress Wu did not engrave a word on the wordless tablet is because this wordless tablet was not erected for her, and since it was not erected for her, she naturally has no right to decide what is engraved on the stele!"
The wordless monument was not erected by Wu Zetian for himself?
Even Wu Zetian is not qualified to decide what is engraved on the stele?
As the so-called world is not the king's land, the shore of the land is not the king's minister, Wu Zetian went from a talented person to Zhaoyi, and finally Longdeng Ninety-Five controlled Li Tang, and Niu Kelian actually said that even such a person is not qualified to decide the content engraved on the wordless tablet, so who has such qualifications?
Niu Kelian seemed to be afraid that the shock caused us would not be enough, and he threw out a second bombshell news before we could recover from it.
"In fact, not only is this wordless monument not erected for the Empress Wu, but after careful calculation, even this Qianling is not the mausoleum she wants to build, you don't see that the remains of the Empress Wu and Gaozong are in this Vientiane Shrine, and the Qianling is theoretically just a warehouse for furnishings."
Things are getting more and more complicated.
Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the emperors and queens are not buried together, and the tomb of the two saints of the husband and wife of the Qianling is even more unique, and the Qianling is also the only tomb with a double wall found in the tomb of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and it is the only tomb of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty that has not been stolen and excavated for thousands of years.
But Niu Kelian first told us that the wordless monument was not erected by Wu Zetian for himself, and then told us that even the Qianling Tomb was not built for herself, and that the Qianling Tomb was actually just a warehouse.
So who's behind all this?
Xue Nan's mind was delicate, and after she heard what Niu Kelian said, her mind turned sharply, and she looked at the inner city in the distance and made her own guess to Niu Kelian.
"Could it be...... This Qianling Tomb and the wordless monument were built for Yuan Tiangang? ”
Legend has it that the site of the Qianling Tomb was jointly chosen by Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, and we already know that it was Yuan Tiangang who supported Wu Zetian to the throne, and Xue Nan did have a certain reason to think so.
"Although Yuan Tiangang helped Empress Wu ascend to the throne, he would not make Empress Wu so afraid."
Niu Kelian shook his head and lightly denied Xue Nan's speculation.
"Who could that be......"
Xue Nan was full of doubts and muttered to himself on the side.
And Qi Zhi has a simple temperament, and the thoughts in her mind are the most simple and direct, not as complicated as ours at all, she directly thought of the most fundamental source after hearing what Niu Kelian said, raised her head and looked at Niu Kelian, and guessed cutely.
"Brother Niu, although Yuan Tiangang helped Wu Zetian ascend to the throne, in the final analysis, he is still from Guanshan, so is this Qianling and wordless monument built for the head of Guanshan?"
Niu Kelian nodded with satisfaction, looked at Qi Zhi with admiration, and then turned his gaze to me, as if there was a light in his eyes.
"Miss Qi Zhi is right, chief, there is no dragon body of Empress Wu and Gaozong in Qianling, the reason why you don't consider feng shui is just to prevent theft, in fact, you are worried that someone will sneak in and take what you left behind, in fact, Qianling is just a warehouse exclusive to you.
And this wordless stele is even more so, that is Wu Zetian followed Yuan Tiangang's advice to stand for you, as a fog to cover the entrance of the Qianling, and you never said what should be engraved on the stele, naturally no one dares to carve a word on this wordless stele, this is the real secret of the wordless stele! ”
When everyone heard the truth of the matter, they all looked at me with strange eyes, and I myself was no exception, dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.
Going around and around, it turns out that these back hands left thousands of years ago actually started from the head of Guan Shan.
Or rather, the "me" in their mouths.
The "me" that I don't want to admit, but can't deny.
In order to maintain the safety of Shenzhou, the head of Guanshan decided to help Li Yuan become the co-ruler of the world, and after Li Yuan ascended the throne, he began to cross the river and demolish the bridge because he was worried about Guanshan's terrible strength.
The people in the weak water took advantage of the weakness and secretly colluded with Li Yuan and the crown prince Li Jiancheng, trying to divide the world again, and Shenzhou raised swords again, so that they could benefit from it.
Fortunately, Emperor Taizong was wise and martial, and under the explanation of the leader, Emperor Taizong finally decided to set things right in Xuanwumen, smashing the conspiracy of weak water in one fell swoop, so that the world could avoid possible disasters.
In order to repay Emperor Taizong's righteous act of killing his relatives, the leader sent Yuan Tiangang and Li Jing to assist Li Tang to protect Li Tang's country.
At this time, Yuan Tiangang, who was proficient in mathematics, speculated that Wu Zetian would ascend to the throne of God, and it happened that Li Tang's dragon vein was short of water, and the woman was water, which happened to be able to make up for the lack of dragon vein, so he decided to help Wu Zetian ascend to the emperor, but the request was that Wu Zetian would return the world to Li Tang when the dragon returned to heaven.
Wu Zetian naturally had no reason to refuse in the face of such conditions, and in this way, she became the only orthodox female emperor in the ages, and in the last years of her life, she really returned the country to Li Tang, and at the same time, because her accession to the throne supplemented the lack of Li Tang's dragon vein, this gave rise to the national glory of the Tang Dynasty for more than 200 years.
And at this time, the leader appeared.
Maybe it's one of the five statues, maybe it's Jiuding, or maybe it's something else, in short, there is a very important thing, the leader needs to find a place to place, so like Chang Yuchun and Zhu Yuanzhang, under the auspices of Yuan Tiangang, in the name of building a mausoleum, built the Qianling.
And the entrance of the Qianling Tomb is in the place where there is no word, because of the importance of the matter, Wu Zetian set up a wordless monument under the signal of Guan Shan, in order to cover the real entrance of the Qianling.
However, the leader did not tell what should be engraved, and Wu Zetian, who knew the strength of Guan Shan, naturally did not dare to guess himself, so he only engraved a pattern on the stele, but did not engrave a word.
