Volume 1 Kurosawa's Domain Chapter 91 Yoro's Old Story
Cao Longxuan said: "The anonymous clan once recorded on the inscription: 'During the reign of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, a subject country became more and more prosperous, held strong and arrogant, and had great ambitions, and when there was a serious matter, he refused to submit to the control of the imperial court, and after suppressing the rebellion, the court sent troops to suppress it, and quelled the rebellion of his relatives and affiliated tribes'.
It can be seen that there is indeed such a thing in history, but I don't know which country this small vassal country of the Han Dynasty is, why did he mention it in the inscription? ”
Han Debang replied confidently: "Needless to say, when Emperor Han became emperor, there were naturally many vassal states of the Han Dynasty, but the only one that was relatively powerful and prosperous and suppressed by the counterinsurgency was the short-lived Yelang Kingdom in history. ”
Hearing him say so sure, Wang Ziming complained very dissatisfied: "You kid is really an 'afterthought', you actually know the allusion in this, but why didn't you say it earlier?" It's so bad that everyone was almost not named by Lord Yama just now, and he said that he might find useful clues, so everyone wouldn't have to be so dangerous. ”
Han Debang didn't do it anymore, blushing and retorting: "Hey, what you said is really tasteless if it's not salty or light." Who would have thought that this text on the photo would be useful before?
If any of you brought it up before, suspecting that this text might be worth scrutinizing, I know but pretending to be dumb, that's mine, isn't it, can any of you half fart before?
Even now, aren't we just guessing here, and no one dares to say that this text has clues.
Really, it's even my fault..."
Bai Yunfei listened to the words and said that the front was wrong, now everyone has experienced too many dangers and twists and turns, and they have never been able to find the goal, and they are inevitably impetuous, so the argument will not only help, but also affect the harmony of the team.
quickly interjected and said: "Okay, okay, in fact, what everyone said makes sense, everyone didn't pay attention to these details before, but now they are re-analyzed, and in the words of the ancient sages, it can be regarded as 'reviewing the old and learning the new'."
As for whether you found it or not, it doesn't matter if you find it before, now hurry up and give full play to everyone's ingenuity, research and research, and see what new discoveries can be made? ”
When Bai Yunfei said this, the two of them naturally couldn't quarrel, but no one squeaked, and they might have something to do with Yelang Kingdom and this tomb.
No one can say why, even if the owner of this tomb is a descendant of Yelang Kingdom, what does it have to do with the location of the tomb?
"Maybe it has something to do with the living habits or tomb traditions of the Yelang people, each ethnic group or family has its own traditions and habits, after all, this King Abraham is a descendant of the Yelang people, so it is possible to follow the traditions of his ancestors when designing the tomb, which is also very likely." Li Yulan reminded.
"Hey, you're on point!" Cao Longxuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he gave Li Yulan a rare thumbs up.
Hearing Cao Longxuan's praise for her, this Li Yulan immediately smiled like a flower, happier than a child getting candy.
Let Bai Yunfei sigh in his heart, asking what is the situation in the world, only to make life and death promises, share weal and woe, and never give up.
And the infatuated person is always hurt by ruthlessness.
After Li Yulan's reminder, Han Debang was immediately inspired and became interested:
"Hey, don't say it, Sister Li, what you said is reliable. It's like the 'cave man at the top of the mountain', why don't they call it the 'cave man at the bottom of the mountain', it must be that they like and are used to living on the top of the mountain, so they build the cave on the top of the mountain. What you say is absolutely true! ”
But everyone pondered that there was no way to draw any results from the limited paragraph engraved on the inscription, so they stretched out their heads to look for relevant information in the tablet.
In fact, everyone's understanding of the situation in Yelang Country, like the common people in China, is only derived from the familiar idiom - "Yelang is arrogant", as for other situations, it is necessary to rely on historical materials or materials.
According to the information downloaded by Li Yulan from the Internet, the story of Yelang was first seen in Sima Qian's "Historical Records", which tells the allusion of this idiom "Yelang is arrogant":
"The king of Dian and the Han envoy said: 'Who is the Han and me?'. And the same is true of Yelanghou. The road is not passable, so they think that they are the lord of a state, and they don't know the vast number of Han. ”
It is said that in 122 B.C., Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent an envoy to the Dian Kingdom in present-day Yunnan in order to find a passage to Shenfu (present-day India).
During this period, the king of Dian asked the Han envoy: "Who is the eldest between Han and me?"
Later, the Han envoy passed through the country of Yelang, and the monarch of the country of Yelang also asked the same question.
Therefore, the world uses this metaphor to refer to the arrogant, ignorant, and arrogant people, despising them as frogs sitting in wells and watching the sky, living in a palm-sized piece of heaven all day long, not knowing the size of the world, but complacent, thinking that their country is the largest political power in the world.
In fact, the country of Yelang is not arrogant, the historical "country of Yelang" was a big country with a rich country and a strong army, maybe it was the underdeveloped transportation at that time, and the news was blocked, so there would be this kind of wrong cognition, which was normal in that era.
The specific location of the ancient country of Yelang, the historical records are very brief, only say: "Linqi River", and its west is the Dian country.
"Qiqi River" is the name of the water before the Han Dynasty, and according to the record that it reached Panyu (now Guangzhou), the capital of Nanyue, it is determined to be the Nanpan River and the Beipan River in today's Guizhou.
Most people believe that the territory of Yelang Kingdom was mainly in the western part of present-day Guizhou, and may also include some areas in northeastern Yunnan, southern Sichuan, and northwestern Guangxi.
The Yelang Kingdom fell at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and the cause of the incident was that during the reign of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty (28-25 BC), the Yelang Kingdom had a fight with a small country in the south, but did not obey the mediation of the imperial court.
Chen Li, the newly appointed warden of the Han Dynasty, went deep into the hinterland of Yelang and decisively killed the last king of Yelang named "Xing", and wittily quelled the rebellion of his vassals and affiliated tribes.
Since then, Yoro has no longer been seen in historical records.
After reading these materials, for the demise of Yelang Country, everyone thinks that it is the result of "Yelang arrogance", a subject country, actually asked the envoy whether it is the main country or the subject country, isn't it self-deprecating?
The first is that the host country is dissatisfied with you and thinks that you don't take the "boss" seriously.
Secondly, it is strange that such an ignorant and ignorant country is complacent, does not want to forge ahead, and does not die.
But Cao Longxuan didn't think so, and he denied it.
He believed that the last king, "Xing", was arrogant and unsightly, which eventually led to his demise.
And the monarch who formed that classic idiom story is the ancestor of this "Xing", and now analyzed, the king of that ancestor is a very deep city and has very big ambitions.
He was just acting, because at that time, the Yelang Kingdom had a strong military force and a developed economy, and there was a rudimentary form of a prosperous power.
For such a vassal state, it is impossible for the Han Dynasty not to be vigilant, and it must take strict precautions to prevent it from growing and rebelling.
And the king of Yelang at that time, in order to make the envoy sent by the Han court to spy on them have paralyzing thoughts, he pretended to be arrogant and gave the envoy a stupid look of "frog at the bottom of the well".
Let the envoy return to the court according to this, and from then on, the Han emperor and ministers thought that this Yelang Guojing was a foolish people who did not know the height of the sky, and there was nothing to worry about.
Only then was Yelang State able to secretly and rapidly develop its national strength and safely avoid the eyes of the Han Dynasty.
Moreover, Cao Longxuan put forward a new point of view, he believes that the allusion of "Yelang arrogance" recorded in historical materials is a singular distortion of the real historical facts.
He deduced that the real historical fact is that "Yelang arrogance" refers not only to the arrogance of the land area, but also to the metaphor of the large reproductive organs of men.
His words made Li Yulan next to her blush instantly.
But Cao Longxuan turned a blind eye and continued to talk.
It is rare for everyone to see that this person who is deep in the city and has few words can talk so much, which is very novel, so they listen carefully to his analysis.
Cao Longxuan believes that "Yelang", just listening to the superficial meaning of the word, is similar to the "son" in Dongguan's erotic service industry, which means "the son of nightlife".
Then, as Yelang nationals who are proud of their nightlife and sexual ability, the capital they are proud of is, of course, their male characteristics that are different from ordinary people.
Bai Yunfei was afraid that Li Yulan would be even more embarrassed if she continued to talk about it, and she studied these topics so bluntly in front of her, which would obviously make her misunderstand that she was disrespectful to women.
So Bai Yunfei coughed a few times and said in a joking tone: "That, classmate Li Yulan, now, the teacher is going to have a parent-teacher meeting with the parents, this... This is all a topic for adults, not suitable for children, please go over there and rest for a while. ”
Saying that, Bai Yunfei pointed to a golden-scaled dragon located on the spiraling stairs below, Li Yulan naturally understood that Bai Yunfei was trying not to embarrass her, so she didn't say anything and went over there to rest.
Cao Longxuan said that the last monarch of the Yelang Kingdom was arrogant and disobedient to the control of the imperial court, which eventually led to the death of the country and the destruction of the country.
And it has a history of more than 100 years since his descendant King Abraham fled to the Western Regions, and the rest is of little value except for the burial tradition for reference.
But he felt that the marriage between the fugitive descendants of the Yelang Kingdom and the feminist country was worth careful consideration, because after all, this marriage was the cornerstone of the survival of these fugitive descendants of the Yelang Kingdom after they arrived in the Western Regions.
People don't understand why he has the "cornerstone of survival", and how does "marriage" become the cornerstone of survival?
Cao Longxuan took out his trademark smile again and said, "You can indeed be called talents in some fields, but you still don't understand this governance. ”
He then said that in ancient times, wars were continuous, national sovereignty was unstable from time to time, and the people often suffered from wars.
In order to maintain stable and stable sovereignty and diplomatic relations, there have been cases of "walking marriage", "marriage", "harmony" and other methods to achieve the goal of long-term peace and stability.
The more famous ones in history include Princess Wencheng in the Tang Dynasty who married the 33rd Zampu Songtsen Gampo of the Tubo Dynasty, and classic stories such as "Zhaojun out of the fortress".
So what you should consider at present, the main directions are nothing more than two points:
The first is what traditions there are in the tombs of Yelang Kingdom, such as the fact that the tombs must be built on the mountains like Han Debang said "cave people on the top of the mountain", and these customs must be considered.
The second is that although King Abraham succeeded in seeking power and usurping the throne and became the king of a country, after all, he was an "outsider", and the foundation of a hundred years was built on the basis of marriage with this feminist country.
Therefore, some customs or traditions in the funeral of this feminist country should be one of the main factors influencing the design of his tomb.
Everyone nodded their heads frequently, indicating that they agreed very much with what he said.
