Chapter 65: The Bronze Man of King Qin
"Organs? Why didn't I see it? Lao Gu looked at the treasure box carefully, and his eyes were about to fall in. Presumably, in his eyes at this moment, all he saw was the exquisite jewelry carvings densely covered with the box, where could he see any mechanism?
But don't say it, even if they don't see wealth, even Qin Zhen and the others don't see any organs.
As soon as Qin Zhen was about to ask, Mo Sheng said on the side: "You don't have to look at it, these gorgeous carved pearls and jades are the most exquisite organs. It envelops the entire Xuanhai Stone Box, and once we force it open, we don't know what will happen. â
Qin Zhen listened and nodded slowly. Moshang's words make sense, the so-called organ, it doesn't necessarily have to be how conspicuous or prominent. Even a strand of hair has the potential to become a trap. Because just one hair is still not the same, the owner can tell whether he has touched his things or not.
Therefore, the exquisite carved ornaments on this box may be the most delicate mechanism. In case the mechanism of this box is the violent nature of "jade and stone burning", they open and move without authorization, maybe they will destroy the Qin King's mountain whip......
Now, it's hard to do.
Several people pondered and worried, but Lao Gu was angry at this time and said, "Isn't it just a stone?" Anyway, no matter how valuable it is, Dong Shao won't allow it to leave the nest, so let's smash it! In this way, the mountain whip can also be obtained, and it has not left the nest. â
"Pull it down! If you smash this box, there may be some accidents! Don't stir it up, the priority now is to find a way to fill the pit with water. Qin Zhen frowned tightly. I was thinking about how the faucet could spray water.
Yu Dong looked at the alcoves on both sides of the treasure box at this time, and seemed to be a little engrossed.
Qin Zhen followed curiously, also looked at the alcove, and then asked puzzledly: "Isn't this the bronze man, what is there to see?" â
"It's kind of weird." Yu Dong frowned and said thoughtfully.
"What's weird? Just because there is a bronze man on this stone wall? I don't think it's strange if there are Buddha statues in the niches here! It is impossible for Qin Shi Huang to believe in Buddhism......" Qin Zhen said as he shook his hands and looked at the beautifully shaped bronze figures.
Yu Dong shook his head slightly and said, "I don't think the weapon in their hand is quite right......"
"Weapons??" Qin Zhen looked at it carefully, not to mention, the shape of those bronze figures was like miniature terracotta warriors. All of them have weapons in their hands. One by one, majestic.
Merely......
"What's wrong with this weapon?" Qin Zhen asked.
Yu Dong briefly glanced at all the bronze figures around him, and then replied decisively: "The order is not right. â
"You...... You can even know the order of the weapons in the hands of these bronze men?! Can you still do it? What are the more than 8,000 terracotta warriors and horses in their hands, do you know very well? ? Qin Zhen looked at Yu Dong in surprise. This product is a monster!
Yu Dong had already begun to study the weapons in the hands of those bronze men, and at this time, he replied to Qin Zhen without a match: "Don't talk about it. Where do the terracotta warriors have weapons in their hands? At the moment of unearthing. They all quickly oxidized and corroded back to the most primitive ecological appearance of nature. As for these bronze men...... There are also huge twelve bronze statues in front of the Afang Palace. It is the Qin Emperor's favorite thing......"
Qin Zhen wanted to cry and said without tears: "Where did you see Afang Palace?" You sue me, and take me to see it when you go back? You are pure nonsense, people say that Qin Shi Huang is very likely to have never built a Fang Palace at all. Even if it was built, there is no way to know what the prototype would have been. You're good, even the shape of the bronze man in front of the palace is clear? "Qin Zhen is simply unbelievable, because the whereabouts of Qin Shi Huang's twelve bronze men have always been a mystery.
Although history has always considered the Afang Palace to be the most magnificent complex in China's history, it is also a symbol of Qin Shi Huang's extravagant sins. It is said that it was burned clean by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu.
However, many archaeological evidences later seem to indicate that at the rammed earth foundation of the so-called Afang Palace ruins, there is no building accumulation layer of the Qin Dynasty at all, let alone traces of fire. Then this also shows that the matter of "burning Afang Palace" may not exist at all. So, where is Afang Palace? In other words, is there a palace in the end?
In the case that this problem cannot be solved, how did Yudong understand the shape of the bronze figure in front of the Afang Palace?
Just when Qin Zhen was puzzled, Mo Sheng said slowly behind him: "Thousands of people sing, ten thousand people are harmonious, and Pin Feng thinks that there are twelve people and stands at the palace gate." According to historical records, the twelve bronze people behind the seal book of Meng Tian and Li Si, Shangyun 'Emperor 26 years and the world, the princes are counties, a law, and the same measure. These twelve bronze figures are not only the beloved objects of Qin Shi Huang, but also represent the political concept of Qin Shi Huang. â
Qin Zhen listened to Mo Sheng's words in a daze, then looked at Yu Dong, who was busy adjusting the order of the weapons in the hands of the bronze people, and asked without giving up: "Just, even if the Afang Palace is a zĂ i, the twelve bronze people are also zĂ i...... No one in this world has ever seen it! How does he know the order of weapons in the hands of these bronze men?? Qin Zhen pointed at Yudong and asked Mo Shang.
Mo Sheng couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and then pretended to lower his voice mysteriously and said, "He's Xia Yudong, that's why." â
Qin Zhen listened inexplicably, what kind of explanation is this? ? But if you think about it carefully, it seems that as long as the impossible thing is explained by the reason that Mo Sheng said just now, it can be reluctantly accepted.
For so long, Yuto has shown the absolutely impossible magic in front of them countless times. In the end, didn't all of them all habitually accept it? As long as what he Xia Yudong says and does, no matter how shocking it is, it can always be believed and accepted.
Yudong was there with all kinds of weapons in the hands of the bronze men, bows, crossbows, arrowheads, beryllium, spears, ge, swords, scimitars, and axials...... Although it's not big, it seems really strange to look like that, it is not one with the bronze man itself, and each of them can be taken down.
Mo Sheng stood behind at this time and glanced at these bronze figures with a flashlight and said: "After the Great Qin eliminated the Six Kingdoms, Qin Shi Huang did a lot of measures to improve the centralization of power in order to consolidate the power of this first feudal dynasty. One of them is to collect the weapons of the world, melt copper to cast twelve bronze people, and stand in Xianyang. So this thing itself does not belong to Afang Palace. Later generations say that these twelve bronze figures were the beloved objects of Qin Shi Huang, and it is possible that they were brought to the Afang Palace, and it is more likely that they were brought into the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang after his death. In short, you don't need to question the existence of these bronze figures. â
After talking for a long time, Mo Sheng seemed to be appeasing all of them, and they didn't have to worry about Yu Dong using the mobilization of the bronze man's weapon as a way to crack the mechanism.
Lao Gu said very incomprehensibly at this time: "This Qin Shi Huang's hobby is really special!" I don't love the emperor and love immortals, I don't love jewelry, I love stones, I don't want to be an emperor, but I like civil engineering...... After not standing for a lifetime, I actually like these bronze terracotta warriors...... O brothers, say with your conscience, can you understand him? â
After hearing this, Qin Zhen couldn't help but laugh and said, "If you can understand him, you can also become an emperor through the ages." â
As Yu Dong carefully adjusted these weapons, Mo Sheng told Qin Zhen and them about the reason why Qin Shi Huang had cast the Twelve Bronze Figures.
In fact, to say that it is said that the bronze man and the Jiuding cast by Dayu seem to have some similar feelings. Dayu is to make Kyushu state pastor contribute bronze, casting Jiuding. And Qin Shi Huang was to collect the world's weapons and cast twelve bronze men. This seems to be a similar thing done by a king who has just pacified the world.
Clearly, however, their goals are not exactly the same. Dayu cast Jiuding in order to represent Kyushu and live in the rivers and mountains. And the twelve bronze men of Qin Shi Huang did not have this kind of deification function.
Most of the legends are that Qin Shi Huang encountered a great change in the sky in his dream, the sun and the moon were dark, and the ghosts and gods were strange and frightened. After the guidance of the gods, you can sit firmly in the world by making twelve bronze people. When Qin Shi Huang woke up, he heard such a nursery rhyme again: "Qu goes to one, shows in gold, a hundred evils, and a hundred Ruisheng". After hearing this, Qin Shi Huang ordered the collection of all the weapons of the people with the help of heaven's will, concentrated in Xianyang, and turned into twelve bronze figures.
It is said that the shape of the bronze figure is large and the production is exquisite, which is absolutely rare in history.
To say that Qin Shi Huang really gave such an order because of a dream, or an immortal in a dream, may be a little too underestimated him. It is not so much that he is blind and superstitious, but that he is pretending to be a pretext, but in fact it is for the sake of political stability. This is also very well inherited in China today. Emperor Qin confiscated weapons, just as the common people today are not allowed to hide guns privately. It is just a means and strategy for political stability and stability.
At that time, the false propagation of the will of heaven could almost completely legitimize this originally domineering political method.
There are too many myths and legends about this emperor, and he has left countless unsolved mysteries to future generations. Perhaps if you want to understand the minimum foundation of Qin Shi Huang's life, it is when the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang really sees the light of day. He probably brought all the secrets and nostalgia of his life to the mausoleum.
After listening to Mo Sheng explain the reason why Qin Shi Huang cast the bronze figure, Yudong's side seemed to have reached the last moment.
Although Qin Zhen and the others didn't see any difference between those bronze people and before, it could be seen from Yu Dong's serious and strict expression that his every move was carefully considered and made extremely careful choices.
Cracking the mechanism is actually like defusing a bomb, and the slightest mistake will end up in pieces. Here, perhaps the slightest mistake will be doomed to them. (To be continued......)
