Li Sange glanced at the holy decree horizontally and vertically, and said with a big head: "It turns out that the holy decree is like this, it seems to be very different from the one on TV, by the way, what is written on it, which of you knows?" ”

Without Professor Sun, an archaeologist, by our side, we were almost an ancient illiterate, unable to read anything except a limited number of words. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because he has opened an antique shop, he also has a certain understanding of ancient characters, he said: "Although I don't know a little bit of the words on it, but give me a little time, I estimate that I can translate the general content of the above." ”

Tan Jia said a little solemnly: "The content of this holy decree is very important, you don't have to be anxious, look at it slowly, we don't care about it for a while." ”

Without saying a word, he simply sat on the ground, opened the holy decree completely, and then looked at it slowly. We waited quietly, looking at the sign with a look of excitement on our faces, sometimes a look of doubt, knowing that he had some difficulty translating, so no one made the slightest noise to disturb him.

After about twenty minutes, the label looked up at us and said, "I can't translate the exact content, I can only know a rough idea." The content is somewhat shocking, and reminds me of a major event in history. ”

The mark tells us that this holy decree was issued by the seventh emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the person holding this holy decree is called Zhang Jia, who is a personal guard of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and his martial arts are very strong.

This holy decree issued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a secret order, to the effect that this Zhang Jia guard led 2,000 soldiers to the ancient Dian Kingdom to ask the then King of Dian for the secret of "longevity". Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said that this matter can only succeed and not fail, if the King of Dian does not know how to lift, Zhang Jia can act at the opportunity, and even coerce the King of Dian to hand over the immortal technique.

Biaozi said: "In history, in addition to Qin Shi Huang's frantic search for the elixir of life, then the second person who deserves to be the Han Wu Emperor Liu Che is it. In order to make himself immortal, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty not only killed the crown prince Liu Ju and his queen Wei Zifu, but also killed many loyal ministers and righteous men by mistake, which caused a super chaos in the Western Han Dynasty in his hands and almost perished. This incident was later the famous "Witch Curse" in the Western Han Dynasty. ”

Sankra touched his big bald head, and said with some doubts: "I also know some about the witch curse, it seems that it has nothing to do with the immortal technique, it is a simple oolong incident, it is said to be caused by a person named Jiang Chong." ”

In the second year of Zhenghe (91 B.C.), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took a nap during the day and dreamed that thousands of wooden people were holding sticks to harm him, and he suddenly woke up, and then felt unwell, his mental strength was weakened, and his memory was greatly reduced. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a courtier named Jiang Chong by his side, who had a dislike with the prince and the queen, and saw that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was old, and was afraid that the emperor would be killed by the prince after his death, so he set up a treacherous plot, saying that the emperor's illness was caused by witchcraft. So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Jiang Chong as an envoy to find out the ins and outs of this matter.

Jiang Chong took advantage of the privilege in his hand, and as long as he had a disagreement with him in the past, he would bury the wooden man used to curse in witchcraft in the other party's home in advance. The next day, he swaggered and led the first-class soldiers to search the other party's house, and after finding out the wooden people used for curses, he went back to ask Emperor Wu of Han.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very old, he was already a little old and confused, and he was extremely partial to superstition and witchcraft, so he didn't even think about it, listened to Jiang Chong's slander, and ordered those ministers to be killed. Because of this incident, Prime Minister Sun He's family, as well as Princess Yangshi, Princess Zhuyi, and Marquis Wei of Changping were all killed by order of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Tens of thousands of other people were also killed because of this incident.

Jiang Chong saw that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could actually poison his own daughter, so he was even more relieved and bold. After some deployment, he began to point the finger at the thorn in his eye, a thorn in the flesh, that is, the crown prince Liu Ju, and the queen Wei Zifu. Using the same trick, Jiang Chong found the wooden people in the bedrooms of the crown prince and the empress, respectively, and planned to immediately inform Liu Che, the emperor of the Han Wu Dynasty, who was recuperating in the Ganquan Palace, about the matter.

The queen and the crown prince were deeply frightened, so they went to Ganquan Palace to meet Emperor Wu, but they were unexpectedly stopped by Jiang Chong's people halfway, saying that Emperor Wu had an order, and anyone involved in the witch curse case, no matter who it was, was not allowed to leave his palace until the matter was clarified. The crown prince and the queen could only return in vain.

After the prince's master Shi De learned about this, he was afraid that he would be implicated, so he told the prince, saying that the Prime Minister Sun He's family, Princess Yangshi, Princess Zhuyi, and Changping Hou Wei are all lessons from the past, and if you don't make a decision now, you will also suffer.

In a hurry, the prince listened to Shi De's advice and decided to kill Jiang Chong, a traitor, first, and then plead guilty in front of Emperor Wu in order to protect himself. The crown prince Liu acted quickly, and told his biological mother, Empress Wei Zifu, and his henchmen about his plan that day. After some careful deployment, the crown prince announced Jiang Chong's crime of rebellion in front of the hundred officials, and pretended to kill Jiang Chong and one of his subordinates under the pretense of the order of Emperor Wu's envoy. Then there are still fish that have slipped through the net, and this person is Jiang Chong's right-hand man Su Wen.

When Su Wen heard that Jiang Chong was dead, he was so frightened that he immediately fled to Ganquan Palace, and informed Emperor Wu of the matter of the prince Liu Ju under the pretense of the envoy, and added fuel to the vinegar that the prince was ostensibly killing Jiang Chong, but in fact, he wanted to use this as an excuse to seek power and usurp the throne. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious and ordered Prime Minister Liu Quyu to lead his troops to quell the rebellion, and finally the crown prince was defeated and began to flee life, while the empress Wei Zifu committed suicide in the palace.

After this incident, all those who participated in the prince's rebellion were sentenced to death, and some of them were exterminated by the nine clans, and the son of a generation of loyal ministers and pillars of Weiqing died in this tragedy.

The third elder of Huguan Ling Gumao saw that the people in the court were panicked, and there was chaos in the world, so he risked the disaster of killing his head to speak out to Emperor Wu, and informed Emperor Wu of various points of Jiang Chong's matter, and said that the prince was forced to raise troops to attack thieves out of desperation.

After Emperor Wu read Ling Humao's book of audience, he suddenly woke up and regretted it, but he did not immediately pardon the prince's sin. After the fugitive crown prince Liu was denounced, fearing that he would be humiliated and killed, the prince killed his two sons and hanged himself at home.

After Sankra finished explaining the ins and outs of the witch curse, he asked Biaozi, "There doesn't seem to be any mention of immortality inside and outside this matter, how can you confuse the two things?" ”

Biaozi explained: "This is how it started. Emperor Wu was old, so he gathered the world's scholars to create the legendary elixir of immortality for himself. Those Fang Shi naturally did not have the ability to refine the elixir of life, and only came for money, so they came up with an expedient measure to deceive Emperor Wu, saying that their elixir would take nine hundred and eighty-one days to succeed, but after taking it, it would take another nine hundred and eighty-one days to achieve results. ”

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was obsessed with the art of immortality, so he naturally believed in it, and regarded those monks as guests and put them in the palace to support them. The monks stayed in the Dan pharmacy every day, basically staying at home, and asked the people in the palace to send any materials they needed, but among the many materials, there were four materials such as gold, silver, jade, and pearls.

After the monks got those gold, silver and jewelry, they naturally didn't really put them in the alchemy furnace, but secretly hid them themselves, and then casually refined a kind of elixir. Emperor Wu only thought that those pills were elixirs, and after taking them, he patiently waited for the pills to take effect.

However, during the period when Emperor Wu was waiting for the pill to take effect, those monks disappeared under the pretext of going out to find the elixir. After Emperor Wu learned about this, he realized that he had been deceived, and in a fit of anger, he ordered all the monks who were still pretending to be in the palace to be killed, and sent people to search everywhere for the whereabouts of those fake monks.

Although he knew that there was little hope of immortality, Emperor Wu still did not give up, and through a period of investigation, he found that there was another person in history who was also obsessed with the way of immortality, and this person was the famous Qin Shi Huang.

According to the route of Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu found a large number of trustworthy guards and ordered them to go to the legendary Penglai Immortal Island in the Middle East Sea to find the legendary immortals. Those guards naturally did not dare to disobey the order, and immediately set off towards the East China Sea. However, what they didn't expect was that after sailing in the East China Sea for more than a month, they still hadn't found the legendary fairy island, and in desperation, they planned to go back.

But at this moment, in front of them, an island loomed, and the guards were overjoyed, and decided that it was the legendary fairy island, so they drove to it. The island was large, and it was rich in produce, and the birds and flowers were scented, which made the guards feel like they were in a fairyland.

After searching around the island, the guards found out that this island is called Fusang Island, with a population of tens of thousands, but it is by no means the legendary Penglai Immortal Island, let alone the legendary immortals. The guards were disappointed and planned to return, but a boy came to greet them, saying that although there was no real elixir of immortality in the world, he would refine an elixir that could make people live for more than ten years.

When the guards heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, this trip to the East China Sea was fruitless, and they didn't know how to go back to Emperor Wu, but they got this boy, which was simply a gift from God. Although the boy can't refine the legendary elixir of life, if he can refine the elixir that prolongs life, it can still make Emperor Wu's dragon heart happy, and he and others will also be a great achievement.

Before the boy left, he collected a lot of herbs and wild fruits on Fuso Island, saying that they were materials for refining pills, which were unique on this island. After the guards returned to the Han Dynasty, they told Emperor Wu everything about the East China Sea and his party. After Emperor Wu heard that the boy would refine the elixir to prolong life, he was really happy, so he ordered him to meet him.

When the boy saw Emperor Wu, his face was not shocked, he talked and laughed freely, and told Emperor Wu that the residents of Fusang Island, everyone can live to be eighty years old, and some of the older ones can live to be more than one hundred and twenty years old, and this is all because of the effect of a magic elixir, which happens to be refined by himself. In order to convince Emperor Wu of what he said, the boy claimed that he was actually thirty years old, and it was because of the longevity pill that he had eaten that longevity pill that he had maintained his seventeen or eighteen-year-old appearance.

Emperor Wu was deceived and feared, and he was suspicious of this matter, so he ordered people to keep an eye on the boy at all times, so that he would not have a chance to escape, and he agreed to all the requests made by the boy. In this way, the boy began to refine the elixir.

The time for the boy to refine the pill was not like those monks, it took nine hundred and eighty-one days, and it only took him ten days to refine ten pills, which he named the Longevity Pill.

At that time, it happened that Emperor Wu was ill, and after taking the pill, Emperor Wu's body suddenly improved, and his spirit was surprisingly good, so he was convinced of the efficacy of the longevity pill, and because of this, the boy was reused and left by Emperor Wu's side.

Biaozi looked at us seriously and said, "That boy is the later Jiang Chong, a little Japanese devil." You say, if there was no matter of Emperor Wu seeking immortality, how could there be a later "witch curse"? The ridiculous Liu Che actually brought the disaster home with his own hands, resulting in the loss of the evening. ”

Biaozi pointed to the lower right corner of the holy decree and said to us: "The date of this holy decree is the third year of Zhenghe, that is, after the scourge of witches, which shows that Emperor Wu of Han's desire for immortality existed until he died. However, history says that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was dying, he finally repented, so he wrote the "Edict of Guilt" to accuse the people of the world. ”

Tan Jia looked at the mark with a strange look and said, "You know quite a lot, how much do you know about Emperor Wu of Han's quest for immortality?" ”

How could Biaozi not know the meaning of Tan Jia's words, and immediately skimmed it out and said: "Don't look at me with such eyes, I'm afraid that my little heart can't stand it." To tell you the truth, that's all I know, and it's all in the wild history, and the credibility really needs to be verified. ”

Tan Jia was silent for a moment, and then asked, "These things are mentioned in the holy decree?" There are no other things mentioned. ”

Biaozi shook his head and said, "That's all for the above. Put the holy decree in his backpack, picked up a roll of bamboo slips on the copy, opened it, and seemed to have found something, and said to us: "This seems to be what Zhang Jia has seen and heard, let me see, it is estimated that it mentions the information about why this warship appears here." ”

The standard is also half-understood about the small compilation of the Han Dynasty, and there are as many as seven or eight volumes of bamboo slips on the copy, let him translate them all, and it will not be possible to do it in a few hours, Tan Jia simply lit a candle and let the standard read it carefully.

We people have nothing to do, just sit on the ground to rest, eat some dry food when we are hungry, maybe the physical strength has been replenished, and the courage of people is much greater, and we are not so worried about the current situation at this moment, I always wonder in my heart, what happened between Zhang Jia, as the envoy of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the King of Dian, why did the warship led by him appear here?
