Chapter 2: The Tomb of Empress Wudeok

"Hurry up! What else is there to rub into? The landlord yelled at her again.

"Oh."

Tao Yaoyao hurriedly went back to the house to rummage through her wallet, and finally handed over the remaining 6,000 yuan to the landlord, which was just enough for half a year's rent.

When the landlord left, he left a sentence: "After living in this month, let me go immediately!" ”

-

On April 1, the landlord came early in the morning to drive people out, and Tao Yaoyao packed his bags and moved back to school.

The strange thing is that the roommates didn't ask much about where she went and what she did in the six months she lived outside, but her best friend Li Lilai came to inquire and said that her parents were about to burst out of her phone calls. She didn't want people to know that she had an abortion, so she deliberately concealed the facts and lied that she had gone to other places for practical research.

Not long after she returned to school, a call from the head of the department, Chen Tao, came.

"Tao is dying, you didn't come to take the final exam last semester when you were sick and took leave, which is equivalent to automatically giving up credits, and you need to pay a lot of fees to retake, now you will be given a chance to make up for the credits, you should consider it."

"You say." Tao Xiaoxiao rarely politely addressed Chen Tao, after all, her pocket really can't afford to pay the repair fee now.

"You should have known about the theft of the tomb of Empress Wude of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in 1993!"

"Of course." Keeping up with the news about the excavations and thefts of ancient tombs is a must for archaeology students.

"According to my old classmates in the national scientific expedition team, a new situation has occurred in the tomb of Empress Wude after many years, and the national scientific expedition team decided to conduct in-depth research. If you can complete this task and get the practical research certificate to submit to the school, you can apply to make up for your lack of professional credits, and your grades are excellent. ”

Tao Yaoyao hesitated for a while, and finally agreed: "Okay, I'll go." ”

"Come to my office right away and get your ticket, and I'll leave tomorrow."

Although Tao Yaoyao majored in archaeology, she was not very interested in archaeology herself, but more interested in the stories behind antiquities.

And this story has actually been interested in her for a long time, and she also launched a bold imagination to write the love story of Empress Wude and Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty into a novel, because there are not many official historical materials about their love life, and because she was emotionally unstable by Qin Hao at that time, she wrote it wildly.

……

In the afternoon of the next day, Tao Yaoyao got off the plane in Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, where the destination was located, and met with the scientific expedition team at the designated place.

On the afternoon of the day before departure, Professor Meng, the leader of the archaeological team, gathered the team members and told them about the tomb of Empress Wude:

"According to the "Book of Zhou", more than 1,500 years ago, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Yong married the Turkic Princess Ashina in order to consolidate the national strength and became the queen, and later Yuwen Yong died of illness in the Northern Expedition, and the successor was incompetent, and the imperial power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was soon usurped by Yang Jian to establish the Sui Dynasty, and after the death of Empress Ashina, she was named Empress Wude by Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, because of the fear of the power of the Turks, Yang Jian gave a rich funeral goods."

"But the specific location of the tomb of Empress Wude has not been mentioned in the subsequent history books, many people suspect that the tomb of Empress Wude may be next to the filial piety tomb of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but Emperor Wu asked for a festival burial before his death, 'tomb but not tomb', the ground is not sealed and marked, and the specific location is not recorded in the Book of Zhou, and the tomb of Empress Wude and the filial piety tomb of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty have not been discovered by later generations. It was not until 1993 that the gold seal of Empress Wude was resold in the market, and the cultural investigation team investigated the matter and learned that the tomb of Empress Wude had been discovered by tomb robbers. ”
