Chapter 277: Seventy-two Doubtful Graves
The Wei and Jin eras were special troubled times in history, Wei was talking about Cao Wei, and Jin was two Jin. The imperial court was corrupt, the regime changed, wars were continuous, and famines and plagues were frequent. At that time, the people were hungry and desolate, and it was because they went out and saw nothing, and the plains were covered with white bones, coupled with social turmoil, economic depression, and even the phenomenon of cannibalism.
Many people took risks and joined the ranks of tomb robbers, and later tomb robbing developed into a social fashion, not ashamed, but proud, as if they had never robbed the tomb and were embarrassed to greet others!
Yao Chang, the Later Qin monarch of the Sixteen Kingdoms, and Murong Chui, the Later Yan monarch, were all experts in tomb robbery, and everywhere they went, they destroyed the tombs, plundered treasures, and robbed and excavated, and most of the mausoleums of the previous generations were devastated.
There is also Chen Shuling, the second son of Emperor Chen Xuan, who was named the king of Shixing. On the surface, he is polite and polite, and when he entered the court, he always read books in the carriages and horses, and also recited aloud, looking like a scholar.
Behind the scenes, he is very cruel and debaucherous, careless of human life, indiscriminate killing of innocents, lustful sexuality, and likes to wander in the grave the most, and use the bones of the dead as a collection to appreciate and play.
He often looted the treasures in the mausoleum and returned home proudly, sometimes even bringing the bones of the stolen mausoleum back to the house and hanging them as trophies. Among the many ancient tombs excavated, many are celebrity tombs, and even the mausoleum of Xie An, the Taifu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, has not escaped his poisonous hands.
"The most famous and professional tomb robber of this period appeared, Cao Cao, who became famous for professionalizing and even industrializing tomb robbing. In the army, a special officer was set up to be responsible for robbing tombs, and they were also vividly named - General Faqiu Zhonglang and Captain Mojin. β
"I often visit the scene of tomb robbery, direct the robbery and excavation, and the largest tomb excavated by my professional tomb robbers is the tomb of Liu Wu, the king of Liang Xiao of the Han Dynasty in the west of the Shanxi Province, and the tomb of his wife Queen Li, which has made countless profits. It is said that this tomb robbery alone solved the expenses of Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops for three years, and he can be called the most professional tomb robber in the history of tomb robbing. β
"Since the end of the 80s of the 20th century, archaeologists have carried out protective excavations on the tombs of King Xiao of the Han Dynasty, and in the tombs that have been stolen in the Three Kingdoms era, more than tens of thousands of precious cultural relics such as golden jade clothes and large jade bi have been excavated, and many cultural relics are of great value. β
"Before this guy died, he must have said that he would be buried thinly, which means that you can't steal anything if you rob the tomb. What other seventy-two suspicious graves have been made, and now I can't determine where the real Cao Cao's tomb is?"
Under the leadership of Jinbao, everyone entered the barren mountains and mountains, and only found that they dug a two-square-meter pit with decaying wooden box fragments inside.
"King Wu of Wei often uses the Tiger Euphorbia!"
Wen Yiming cleaned up the stone plaque, which is in the shape of Gui, the upper part is pointed, there is a hole in the middle of the upper part, there is a copper ring in the hole, and a copper chain with exquisite workmanship is tied to the ring.
In addition to the words often used by King Wu of Wei, there is also an adjective "tiger", followed by the name of the weapon, such as "halberd", "short spear", "broadsword" and so on.
"It's really Cao Cao's tomb!"
Wen Yiming was very surprised, he didn't expect to find Cao Cao's tomb here, it should be one of the seventy-two doubtful graves, the body is not here, only some simple burial goods.
"There is also the Gehu Great Sword that King Wu of Wei often uses...... The comfort stone that King Wu of Wei often used?"
Heihu picked up the stone pillow and put it on the ground, Wen Yiming said with a smile: "Cao Cao has a headache, this stone pillow should be commonly used in life, after heating the stone pillow in boiling water, put it on the back of the neck to heat and relieve pain." At that time, Hua Tuo was killed because he was unwilling to give him a craniotomy, which led to the fall of a generation of miracle doctors. β
"Sir, King Wu of Wei is Cao Cao, what does that Gehu mean?"
Looking at Hei Feng confused, Wen Yiming analyzed: "According to my guess, Gehu is actually a northern dialect, Luxi region, and this word is used to describe people who are brave. "Ge" is the case of "killing and killing", with a clear meaning, and the tiger is the tiger of the "five tiger generals", describing the fierceness and strength of people or things. Five Tiger Generals, this idiom also seems to come from the Three Kingdoms era. β
"As for the halberd, it should show that Cao Cao's strength is extraordinary. The halberd is a weapon that is very mature in the development of the Three Kingdoms, Xiang Yu is proficient in eighteen kinds of weapons, among which he loves the hegemony of a hundred soldiers - the halberd!"
Legend Xiang Yu before the army will Ji County had a meteorite from the sky, Xiang Liang privately invited the local celebrities who cast weapons to use this stone to take iron for Xiang Yu to forge weapons, after nine days and nine nights finally forged into a giant tiger head plate dragon halberd, one zhang two feet nine inches, weighing 129 pounds, only the rod has the thickness of the mouth of the bowl, Xiang Yu named it a ghost god. β
"This halberd needs two people to work together to lift it, but Xiang Yu's natural divine power makes this halberd only use one hand, and later he created a set of invincible tricks - one-handed eighteen picks!"
Wen Yiming looked at a few stone tablets on the ground, and said with a smile: "This is something to brag about Cao Cao, it's useless, speaking of Cao Cao's tomb, one was also found in my hometown the year before last, and the same stone tablet was unearthed in it, and there were three corpses." β
"In the cleaning of the tomb, some bones such as human skulls and limb bones were found, and experts preliminarily identified them as a man and two women, of which the owner of the tomb was a man, and the scientific age was about 60 years old, which coincided with Cao Cao's 66 years old, so it was said that it was Cao Cao's bones. β
Then there was an uproar in the academic community, some said it must be, some people refuted and questioned, and finally the Cultural Relics Bureau still determined that it was Cao Cao's tomb, which is still controversial. β
Wen Yiming waved his hand, packed and took away the stone tablets and iron pieces that were cleaned up, whether it was Cao Cao's tomb or not, these things were also harvested, and they were brought back for experts to study.
It seems that there are no other treasures here, so I can only drive away, Cao Cao is worthy of being a hero through the ages, I don't know how many people's graves have been dug up when I am alive, in order to keep myself from being violent in the wilderness after death, I simply buried it lightly, and I will tell you clearly - Lao Tzu has nothing!
Then dig a pit in the east and move the earth in the west, Tiannan and Haibei don't know how many of these fake tombs have been made, let you dig them?
Everyone drove back to the vicinity of Chang'an to find the next target, Dong Zhuo!
Dong Zhuo was extremely brutal, and the arson soldiers wantonly killed and looted, and there was a miserable scene everywhere. All the princes of the world were extremely dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's autocracy, so they discussed a crusade.
In the first year of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao led all the princes of the country to raise troops to attack him. Dong Zhuo was not in a hurry because of this, because he still had a trump card in his hand, Emperor Han Xian.
Coerced the emperor to order the princes, and the princes from all walks of life did not dare to act rashly for the safety of the emperor. Dong Zhuo also forced Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to issue an edict to move the capital to Chang'an. The following year, Dong Zhuo proclaimed himself the Taishi and was extremely authoritarian.
In order to raise military salaries, Dong Zhuo unscrupulously began to rob the tomb, and the executor was his first general, Yizi Lu Bu. Among the many mausoleums stolen, the largest and most treasured tomb is the Maoling of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty.
It is said that when LΓΌ Bu robbed the Mao Tomb, Dong Zhuo gave him a secret mission, that is, to ask him to pay attention to the secret medicine in the Mao Tomb. It turned out that Dong Zhuo had a granddaughter named Dong Bai. This woman is beautiful and well-behaved, and she is very loved by Dong Zhuo and is regarded as the pearl of her palm.
When she was ten years old, Dong Zhuo named her Weiyang Jun and held a grand ceremony for her. When the ceremony was held, Dong Zhuo's special soldiers set up a high altar with a width of more than 6 meters and a height of 2 meters.
But it's a pity that Dong Bai is a mute, Dong Zhuo is very worried, and he has been treated by famous doctors all over the world, but it has not worked. Later, I heard from the minister that Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty worshiped the gods and sought immortals all his life, refining immortal medicines, and there may be a panacea for the treatment of mutes in his mausoleum. So he handed over this task to Lu Bu.
