The others hurriedly walked up to me and looked at the bronze carriage together, Ye Zhiqiu pulled the corner of my clothes and asked, "What's so special about this carriage?" ”

"There were carriage rooms among the eight yellow intestine inscriptions before, and we saw many styles of bronze carriages, do you think about how many horses were used to pull those carriages?" I have a smooth voice. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's like five...... Yes, five horses. Gong Jue thought back and replied in the affirmative.

"Do you know why there are six horses in the carriage here?" I continued to ask.

"All the nine mausoleums are buried according to the Zhou ritual funeral system, that is, the number of these horses is also regulated, and the other eight yellow intestines are buried by the king of the kingdom of Yu, whose identity is the prince king, and the bronze chariot of five horses is used for the burial, and six horses are used here...... "Zhu Qiyi was stunned and touched a handful of slag." This thing is also out of control! ”

I nodded, in the Western Zhou Dynasty, even the Chengyu had a strict hierarchy and regulations, and the number of horses also belonged to the etiquette system, and there were clear regulations.

The Son of Heaven drove six, the princes drove five, the Qing drove four, the doctor three, the scholar two, and the Shuren one.

Only the Son of Heaven could use a carriage drawn by six horses, the famous Son of Heaven to drive six.

"The Son of Heaven only appears in ancient documents, but in Luoyang archaeology unearthed a large carriage and horse burial pit, which has been confirmed to belong to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, more than 3,000 years ago, when it can be unearthed, the components of the body and the bones of the horse are still clearly visible, and this archaeological discovery also confirms the correctness of the Son of Heaven driving six." Ye Zhiqiu touched the bronze carriage with his fingertips and said excitedly. "It's a pity that the wooden carriage unearthed at that time could not fully show the majesty of the Son of Heaven driving six, and this six-horse bronze carriage can be described as unparalleled in the world."

"No matter how precious it is, it is only a bronze vessel at best, and the owner of the tomb placed this carriage here, and I am afraid that the importance of the four words of the Son of Heaven is probably more important." I said thoughtfully.

"The owner of the tomb is also too bold, although there were also princes of the Chu State later, and the treatment of driving six horses was used to encroach on the Zhou rites, but at that time, it was a troubled time in the Spring and Autumn Period, the rites collapsed, the Zhou family declined, and the princes did not put the Zhou Dynasty in their eyes at all, so they dared to openly transgress, but when the tomb owner was alive, but when the Zhou Dynasty was at its peak, once such a burial system was discovered, it would be dug up and whipped in the form of complicity." Xue Xinrou was shocked.

"I guess no one would dare to whip the tomb owner......" I smiled faintly.

"Why?" Gong Jue asked next to him.

"In this mausoleum, there are only the costumes of the tomb owner, the pine wood used in the mausoleum, the bronze chariots and horses of six drivers, and a hundred ever-bright lanterns." As I spoke, I walked to the bronze ritual room and pointed to the nine tripods and eight treasures placed inside.

Bronze is a symbol of power and rank in ancient times, among which the tripod is the most, the main reason is, of course, that it is rumored that Dayu received the gold of the nine herds, so the tripod has extraordinary significance.

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, from the low-level taxi to Zhou Tianzi is divided into five levels, that is, low-level taxi, senior taxi, qing, doctor, princes, Zhou Tianzi, the ancients advocated odd numbers, so the number of tripods corresponding to the five levels is one, three, five, seven, and nine.

The Son of Heaven enjoys Jiuding, and the Ding here is actually a vessel used for cooking, specially used to steam and cook meat, and the Jiuding enjoyed by the Son of Heaven are cattle, sheep, suckling pig, fish, dried meat, tripe, pork, fresh fish, fresh and dried meat.

Then it decreases in turn, starting from the Son of Heaven to the low-level taxis can only use one ding, and it is stipulated that they can only eat dried meat, but it is such food, and ordinary people are not allowed to eat it, so later generations called the people in power and the meat eaters.

"Yu Zhong was given the Son of Heaven to enjoy the Son of Heaven, so he will be buried with Jiuding and Eight Gui after his death, but you should recall that the Jiuding and Eight Gui in Yu Zhong's tomb are obviously much smaller than here, and the size actually reflects the death and status, and more importantly, the power, indicating that the owner of the eternal sleep in the main tomb is far more noble than Yu Zhong." I was less shocked than I used to be, and my voice was calming down.

"Even if the owner of the tomb has a prominent status, he can't casually transgress the etiquette system, not to mention that this is not an ordinary overstep, and using the Son of Heaven etiquette without authorization is a felony of usurpation." Ye Zhiqiu said.

"Yes, if the owner of the tomb is really a usurper, then this person's crime is more than that." I smiled faintly.

"And?!" Xue Xinrou was taken aback.

I walked to the ear chamber on the right, pointed to the chimes placed on the four walls inside, and said that in the funeral system, the music of gold and stone was used, and the number of music was also clearly stipulated, and the number of musical instruments in the ear chamber was exactly the same as the number of musical instruments in the ear chamber.

"These musical instruments are placed on the four walls, this way is called palace hanging, if the princes can only be placed on three sides, it is called Xuan hanging, before the eight mausoleums of the monarch of the kingdom of Yu, the ceremonial instruments are placed on three sides, but here are stacked on four sides." I took a deep breath and paused silently for a moment. "Don't you still know who the owner of the tomb here is?"

The others looked at each other blankly, and Tian Wanqing couldn't help but ask: "There is no text found in the tomb, and the identity of the owner of the tomb cannot be proved at all, Chaoge, have you found it?" ”

"You have been saying the same thing all along, that is, this tomb owner has transgressed the etiquette system and enjoyed the courtesy of the Son of Heaven without authorization, but the paradox is that you can't explain it clearly, in the period when the Zhou Dynasty was so strong, it was impossible for anyone to dare to do such an act, and the reason for this entanglement was that you had preconceived ideas, why didn't you think about it, there was nothing arrogant here." I said calmly.

"It's not called arrogance, the mausoleum was built with the pine wood of the Son of Heaven, and then the six carriages and ......" Ye Zhiqiu suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, and looked at me in shock. You, are you saying that the owner of the tomb is not overstepping, but that this person should have enjoyed such a ritual system?! ”

"But this is a ritual system that only the Son of Heaven can enjoy!" Xue Xinrou was also stunned, and looked at the jade coffin in the distance in a daze. "It's difficult, it's hard to become the owner of the tomb is the Son of Heaven!"

In fact, this is not a fact that is difficult to find, but from the time we came in, the focus was on the Nine Dragons Cheng Ruizun, and according to the clues we had, this artifact was hidden in the mausoleum of the monarch of the Kingdom of Qiu.

Therefore, in our minds, we had a preconceived idea that we were looking for a prince's tomb, but later found out that the eight king's tombs were all from tombs, in fact, at that time, I should have realized that what I found here was far beyond our imagination.

Even if the monarch of the Kingdom of Yu is in power for a while, he is only a prince after all, even if he is in charge of the government in the past dynasties, but he is always above ten thousand people under one person, and the monarchs of the past dynasties of the Kingdom of Yu are of course more powerful than them.

Under one person.

The mausoleum they guarded was the one who stood tall and unique.

And we have been unable to figure out before, why these eight kings of the kingdom of Qiu are all inscribed with yellow intestines, and one or two of them have been rewarded by the Son of Heaven, but it is impossible for all kings of the past to get the honor of the highest standard burial system.

But until I saw the main tomb of the owner of the tomb, I had the same preconceived idea that I didn't see through the connection, in fact, the reason is very simple, I didn't realize that it was because I was in this mountain, and I couldn't see the whole mountain.

We found eight yellow intestine inscriptions, each of the same size is magnificent, if any of them alone would cause a sensation, but I ignored that these yellow intestine inscriptions are just from the tomb, even if they are shocking and spectacular, from the meaning of the tomb is only to set off the main burial chamber.

And since the Cong Tomb is of course a part of the whole mausoleum, but unlike the mausoleums I saw before, these Cong Tombs exist separately and are not built together with the main tomb, and the yellow intestine inscription is not reserved for those kings of the Kingdom of Yu at all, but the owner of the tomb who sleeps in the jade coffin.

He only built a huge mausoleum in another way, each of which was built with yellow intestine inscriptions, and the princes accompanied the tomb inside, which is enough to show the power and prominent status of the real tomb owner.

Another thing that I overlooked was that when we found the first Cong Tomb, we arbitrarily thought that it was a zigzag tomb structure, using the pattern that was later called the Sanyuan Dragon Ding in Feng Shui.

But we found eight from the tomb, obviously this is not our guess of the three-yuan dragon tripod tomb, think about it carefully, there are a total of nine mausoleums here, nine is the number of poles in the number, there is the most noble meaning, the ancient book called nine, with the dragon attached to the monarch, with the sky attached to the throne, so nine is actually the number used by the king.

And from the pattern of these nine mausoleums, the main tomb sits in the north and faces south, and the remaining eight are four from the left and right of the tomb, just like the court, the king is in the middle, and the left and right hundred officials are lined up, this is the pattern of a hundred birds and a phoenix, the princes stand on the left and right, and it is self-evident who is to worship.

"Do you know why there are so few burial goods in the burial chamber here?"

The others may have been too surprised, no one answered me, maybe they haven't figured out the whole thing yet, in fact, the reason is very simple, the yellow intestine inscription of the previous eight kings of the kingdom of Yu is full of funerary goods that symbolize wealth and power, and these things are enough to prove to future generations the dignity of their lifetimes.

But in today's terms, the more you show off, the more you lack, and the eight kings want more wealth and power.

However, there are only a few funerary goods in the main burial chamber, but each of them is an artifact that can only be enjoyed by kings, although it is few, but its significance and value are far greater than the sum of the funerary goods of the eight kings of the kingdom of Qiu.

"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister...... The whole world belongs to the owner of the tomb, and he doesn't need to use too many funeral goods to show his power. I took a deep breath and raised my finger to the jade coffin in the middle of the tomb. This tomb owner did not trespass the etiquette system at all, because he was the Son of Heaven of the Ninety-Five! ”
