"You can really find the identity of the tomb owner on this, you didn't lie to me, did you?" I said.

"I'm not sure, but nine times out of ten, it's okay. The merit tablet is used to praise the owner of the tomb, if the identity of the tomb owner is not marked on it, then how can the people who see the merit tablet in later generations know who the inscription praises. Li Huiyan said.

None of us thought that we would see the merit monument of the tomb owner in this labyrinth, which is a bit strange.

It stands to reason that such a thing as a merit monument should be erected outside the ancient tomb, and it is the first time I have heard of a merit monument like this standing inside the ancient tomb.

Anyway, as long as there is a discovery, it is good. After entering this ancient tomb, we have been guessing the identity of the tomb's owner.

Although Li Huiyan has given six reference candidates, namely Chen Jingwang Liu Xian, Chen Siwang Liu Jun, Chen Huaiwang Liu Zhu, Chen Qing Wang Liu Chong, Chen Xiaowang Liu Cheng, and Chen Shu Wang Liu Chong, but we have never been able to determine which of the six Chen kings is the owner of the tomb.

"Xiao Yan, take a serious look at the inscription, I want to know who the owner of the tomb is." I said to Li Huiyan.

Li Huiyan snorted and began to raise her head and look at the inscription seriously. When Li Huiyan checked the inscription, I was also carefully looking at this merit tablet.

This merit tablet is really very exquisite, not only the body of the monument is made of a whole piece of bluestone with a thickness of about one foot, but the edge of the stele is also carved with a lot of lifelike Rui beast reliefs.

The front of the monument of merit is densely carved with inscriptions estimated to be two or three thousand characters, and behind it are some exquisite reliefs similar to those of the murals.

I took a general look at the text on the front of the merit monument, and every word was carved extremely neatly, and every stroke looked extremely tense, and it was really an extremely rare cultural relic.

Because this labyrinth is located in the third tomb, the environment is relatively dry, and no one has broken into the construction of the labyrinth to destroy it, so the merit monument is quite well preserved, and there is hardly any sign of weathering and falling off.

Not only did Li Huiyan carefully check the inscription, but everyone else also stepped forward to look at the stele curiously, and no one expected to see such a merit stele in the labyrinth.

What's even more laughable is that Xiao Yue has already stood in front of the merit monument and made a victory gesture, and took out his mobile phone to ask Dong Shuang to take pictures of himself.

Compared with Li Huiyan, I didn't have much patience, but I felt a little headache after just looking at the inscription a few times.

Although the official scripts commonly used in the Eastern Han Dynasty are relatively easy to recognize, and I can recognize them, the dense words on the stone tablet make me a little dizzy and sour.

So I had to walk back to the back of the stele and observe the reliefs behind the stele, which looked much better than the dense text on the front of the stele.

I took a closer look, and there were four reliefs behind the stele. The first is to discuss things with his subordinate officials in the main hall, the second is to make alchemy with a few Taoists, the third is a vast number of people building ancient tombs, and the fourth is a picture of a funeral.

Naturally, I was more interested in the fourth relief. Like the other fresco we have seen before, this burial mural also has ten coffins carved in it, the largest of which is carried by thirty-two people in the front, and the rest by twelve.

Just by looking at the size of the coffin and the number of people carrying the coffin, it is easy to tell which of the largest coffins must belong to the owner of the tomb.

"Hey, it's strange, it's really strange...... At this moment, Li Huiyan's voice full of doubts and talking to herself came from her ears.

"What's the matter, Xiao Yan, did you find anything valuable in the inscription?" Hearing this, I hurriedly walked to the front of the stele and asked Li Huiyan.

"Well, according to what is stated above in the inscription, the owner of the tomb should be Liu Zhu, the king of Chen Huai." Li Huiyan nodded and said.

"Now that we know the identity of the owner of the tomb, isn't it good? What's so weird about it? I said with some confusion.

"Qi is strange here, if the owner of the tomb is Liu Zhu, the king of Chen Huai, then it doesn't match the records I saw before." Li Huiyan said.

To be honest, if it weren't for Li Huiyan who had said the name of Chen Huaiwang Liu Zhu earlier, I wouldn't have known that there was such a number one person in history, and I didn't know anything about his deeds.

"What's wrong? Historical accounts could have been inherently wrong. I said.

"There are very few records in history about Liu Zhu, the king of Chen Huai, even if you look through the historical materials, most of them can only find such records: Liu Zhu, the king of Chen Huai, reigned from 118 to 120, the son of Liu Jun, who had no children after his death, and the country was extinct." Li Huiyan said.

"It turns out that this person has only been the king of Chen for three years, and he is really pitiful, I guess he died of some strange disease, or someone took a fancy to his throne and secretly harmed him. But this is not surprising, there are more short-lived emperors in history, and it is not surprising that there is a short-lived Chen King. I said, still a little confused.

I can't help but think of the pictures carved on the relief, this Chen Huaiwang Liu Zhu is obsessed with the art of immortality, and he has raised many Taoists to make alchemy in his own mansion.

Liu Zhu most likely died after eating poisonous pills, otherwise how could it be that King Chen died after only two years.

"Here's the blame." Li Huiyan paused for a moment, and then said: "According to historical records, Liu Zhu, the king of Chen Huai, had no heirs, and even after his death, even the throne of King Chen was succeeded by his uncle Liu Chong, who later became King Chen Qing. But just now after I read the inscription, I found that the inscription recorded in the Chen Huai King Liu Zhu had nine sons. ”

"Where? Let me see. I asked Li Huiyan. Hearing this, Li Huiyan said a text in the middle of the stone tablet: "This is it, you take a closer look." "I looked intently at the place Li Huiyan was pointing, and after a while, I found that there was a passage in the inscription that Liu Zhu, the king of Chen Huai, had nine sons, and even the name of each son was recorded in detail, but I didn't care about that.

"It seems that this is really a strange thing, it is clear that Liu Zhu, the king of Chen Huai, has nine sons, but the history of later generations records that he had no children after his death, and the country is extinct, which is really a little incomprehensible." I said.

"This is also what puzzled me, I didn't think there was anything until I saw the inscription, but after seeing the inscription, it was a little extraordinary. If it is really as recorded in the inscription, Liu Zhu, the king of Chen Huai, had nine sons, then where did his nine sons go, why did no one inherit the throne, and finally Chen took the throne to his uncle Liu Chong. Li Huiyan said.

After thinking about it, I haven't been able to come up with a reason, and I'm afraid it will become a thousand-year-old mystery again.

Since we are now in the tomb of Liu Zhu, the king of Chen Huai, the merit tablet in front of us is naturally carved and cast by the tomb builders of Liu Zhu, the king of Chen Huai, and the content recorded on it is naturally more convincing than the ambiguous historical materials we have seen.

"Sister Lizi, this matter is very simple. This person named Liu Hezhu must have been forced to abdicate by someone, and his nine sons were also killed. Xiao Yue said assumedly.

"Liu Zhugui is the king of Chen Huai, who can force him to abdicate, unless it is the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but there is no such record in history. In the final analysis, Liu Zhu, the king of Chen Huai, belongs to the kind of person who has no merit and no fault, and he inherited the title of King Chen with peace of mind. After all, he is a prince and a descendant of the Liu family, and no one dares to harm him except the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Li Huiyan shook her head and said.

"What's wrong with the princes and kings, Emperor Chongzhen was forced by Li Zicheng to hang himself on Wansui Mountain. Emperor Daming still ended up like this, not to mention a small prince of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Xiao Yue said.

Li Huiyan was speechless for a while, and she didn't seem to know how to answer, Xiao Yue, this guy talked about crooked reasoning, and he was far from being comparable to Li Huiyan.

"Then according to you, who wants more Chen Huai Wang Liu Zhu's throne, and who killed his nine sons?" I asked Xiao Yue.

"It also needs to be asked, whoever inherits his throne will be the most suspicious." Xiao Yue said.

"Then you mean that Liu Chong, the king of Chen Qing, killed Liu Zhu's nine sons in order to compete for the throne? In the end, he killed Liu Zhu himself? I asked.

"Yes, that's it. Liu Zhu, the king of Chen Huai, must have heard that his son was killed, so he fell ill in a fit of anger, and then died. Xiao Yue said.

I'm a little speechless, Xiao Yue's nonsense skills are very good, and Sima Qian's historical records didn't let her write back then, which is really a big loss.

However, Xiao Yue's words gave me some inspiration, if Chen Huaiwang Liu Zhu was really killed by someone, it would really be a big injustice in history, not to mention that his nine sons died together.

I didn't continue to argue with Xiao Yue, whether Chen Huaiwang Liu Zhu was killed, whether he really had nine sons, these are not my concerns.

What I am most concerned about now is whether the Monument of Merit in front of me will help us to leave the labyrinth, and the Rat King has stopped after leading us straight here, proving that this monument of merit must have something to do with our leaving the labyrinth.

"Sister Xiaoyan, then do we still want to continue to find He Zitong and Hao Xiaojun?" Dong Shuang asked.

"Well, if Hao Xiaojun and He Zitong are not found, the two of them will probably be trapped in this labyrinth." Li Huiyan nodded.

"But this labyrinth is so big, where can we go to find it, and it's not a way to walk around." Dong Shuang said.

I turned my head and saw Qin Gong sitting on the pedestal of the merit monument, cutting his fingernails boredly, and couldn't help asking, "Qin Gong, why are you still in the mood to cut your fingernails, aren't you in a hurry at all?" ”

"What am I anxious about? I'm not the only one trapped here, and I'm stupid, so it's better for you to do this kind of thing. Qin Gong said without raising his head.

"Do you already know how to get out of the labyrinth?" I asked tentatively.
