Chapter 66: The Kingdom of South Vietnam
When the old man heard this, there was no emotional change on his face, too, people of his age have seen the wind and waves, experienced all kinds of turbulence, and have been on the battlefield, such a character is indeed not something that a young man like me can see through.
However, to my surprise, I waited left and right, and didn't wait for what the old man wanted to say after he finished the story, he just chatted with me, asked me who was at home and what he was doing, and then asked me about my studies, and even asked about my experience when I studied abroad, and finally we discussed the achievements of reform and opening up for decades, in short, a lot of nonsense, and in the end, he left.
Yes, he just left.
When the door is closed,
I sat on the edge of the bed and was stunned for a long time, at the beginning, in fact, I was sure that he had something to say, this story was just a beginning, a fuse.
But he didn't say anything about it, what does that mean?
I can't figure it out, I don't think about it, I continue to lie in bed and read a book, the environment in the sanatorium is very good, the air is also very good, to be honest, I live quite comfortably.
There is no harm if there is no comparison, and occasionally go down to the tomb and come out to the world to take a breath, you can really appreciate how beautiful it is to be alive.
In the evening, Lao Bai came back, he did not go back to his room, but came to my room first, and the first thing he said to his face was:
"Master, did that person come to look for you in the morning?"
I nodded, of course I knew who the old white was referring to.
Lao Bai didn't say anything more, but put down some fruit in front of me, in fact, there is really no shortage of this thing in the sanatorium, but Lao Bai said that he personally picked it when he passed by the orchard on the way back.
Well, I went to wash two apples, one for Lao Bai and me.
"What the hell is he going to do?" I asked, I still can't help it, after all, people don't play cards according to common sense, just like you tell the story of the antique to the buyer before selling the antique, but the ultimate goal is to sell it to you and sell it at a good price.
The old man told me a story, and when I was about to ask for the price, they put the antiques away and said, "If I don't sell it, I won't sell it, I'm just showing off." ”
"Three years ago, he approached Qin Lao and told him about it." Lao Bai smiled, "But at that time, Old Qin directly refused. ”
"What the hell is he going to do?" I asked, the subconscious meaning is can you finish it in one sitting?
"He wants to go back to that tomb again." Lao Bai said.
"That tomb is on the Vietnamese side, right?"
"Hmm." Lao Bai nodded, "If nothing else, it should be a Qin tomb." ”
"Qin Tomb?" My mind began to spin rapidly, and then I said directly: "Nanyue country? ”
Lao Bai looked at me with a smile and sighed, "The master has made great progress." ”
I ignored Lao Bai's praise, which was like praising a fool for suddenly knowing that he was eating with chopsticks, and only a fool would really feel happy.
The Kingdom of Nanyue, also known as the Kingdom of Nanyue, was a kingdom located in the Lingnan region of the Han Dynasty. At the end of Qin, Zhao Tuo, the lieutenant of Nanhai County, took advantage of the death of Qin to seal the customs and cut off the road; Three years later, it annexed Guilin County and Xiang County in Lingnan; In 204 B.C., the state of Nanyue was formally established, and the self-proclaimed "King of Nanyue" was set in Panyu, Guangzhou. At its peak, the territory of the Nanyue Kingdom included present-day Guangdong, Guangxi (most of the country), Fujian (a small part of the country), Hainan, Hong Kong, Macau, and Vietnam (most of the northern and central parts of China).
In fact, the Nanyue Kingdom existed for a long time, almost a hundred years, after five generations of emperors, and in the end, it was the Han Wu Emperor Liu Che who sent 100,000 troops to destroy it.
In the early days of the Nanyue Kingdom, it was actually an army sent out by the First Emperor, in fact, people who are interested can take a look at the ancient map, the First Emperor swept Liuhe, but the territory of these six countries is not the national territory in the impression of everyone's mind now, the western region and the eastern coastal areas and other places are actually still ethnic minorities.
The first emperor was not satisfied with the world after he set the world, and continued to send troops to fight outward and expand the territory, and Zhao Tuo, the founding monarch of Nanyue, was actually one of the generals who led the army.
Later, Qin II died, and Zhao Tuo directly led the troops to cut the land and claim the king.
The early Nanyue Kingdom was a miniature copy of the Qin Dynasty, and after the middle and late periods, it began to integrate with the local area, forming its own unique Nanyue culture.
"According to his description, Qin Lao judged three years ago that this should be a noble mausoleum in the early days of the Nanyue Kingdom, which retains the extremely original cultural characteristics of the Qin Dynasty." Lao Bai sighed: "Moreover, that tomb is not only a tomb, but also a fortress. ”
"Anyway, in other countries, we can't dig up, right?" I asked, in fact, I am not very interested in that place, just a tomb of the Qin Dynasty, isn't there still the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang in this place where I am now, and this place has not been dug up yet.
"Before, it was really impossible." Lao Bai replied, "Now, not necessarily. ”
"What's wrong?"
Lao Bai smiled, "In recent years, Sino-Vietnamese relations have warmed up, and the visits of the two heads of state have been increasing day by day, and at this time, history needs to make some contributions." ”
History is a little lady who allows those in power to dress up at will, and it is conceivable that even in the present, everyone can perceive the existence and helplessness of this kind of random change, not to mention the period when there was no Internet in ancient times, and it is not too easy for those in power to change history.
If you don't have a good relationship now, then you don't have anything to say, and now that the relationship is good, you naturally have to increase your sense of belonging.
I understand.
"Preparations have been made for the joint archaeological activities between China and Vietnam, and the location determined is actually the place he said, but the specific point has not been found, after all, after such a long war years, many things are not examinable.
The purpose of this joint archaeological activity is to dig up the tombs of the Qin Dynasty in order to enhance the relationship between the two peoples. ”
"You're going too?" I asked.
"Originally, I was going to go, but now, I'm not sure, to be honest, I will definitely not hesitate if you let me continue to dig the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, but it really doesn't make much sense to let me go so far to Vietnam to dig graves.
Besides, I may still be able to find clues to Yang Guifei's tomb now.
Don't go, don't go. ”
It seems that they have experienced things together, and Lao Bai is becoming more and more casual in front of me.
"That's right, that place is definitely not as interesting as Yang Guifeimu."
"Take a break, and go out with me in the evening."
"Where to go?"
"The things are going to be shipped back, and we have to open the coffin, so I specially asked for a batch of new equipment from Beijing, a coffin made of resin, which I really haven't opened before."
