In fact, the flood on Jiangnan West Road, how could Zhao Ji not know its seriousness? But the matter of disaster relief, in the thought that he saw it was him, he made a will, and the people would appreciate his kindness.

Now that the students are making a fuss, not only does he have to choose to stand on the opposite side of the students, but what makes him even more angry is that if the will is issued now, who will say hello to him? In the end, it was those students who gained a good reputation, and he was dignified and respectful, and he would only be laughed at.

Now all Zhao Ji needs is a step, but so far, all he has come to dismantle the ladder for him.

Shen Ao's words, first said that Zhao Ji was kind-hearted, and then used painting as a metaphor, and then spoke as a bachelor, which made Zhao Ji's face soften a little. Zhao Ji frowned, as if he was groaning, his eyes were half open and half closed, and countless thoughts were switching in his mind.

Then he smiled and said, "Shen Ao, the Liao people have brought a treasure, I want you to see it." ”

At this time, what do you want to do with this child's treasure? Shen Ao raised his eyes, glanced at Zhao Ji with a smile in his eyes, his anger seemed to dissipate, and he understood in his heart that Zhao Ji was going to take the school himself, and the school was not enough, and the most important thing was that the emperor suddenly took the school test himself and never mentioned the disaster relief, which means that Zhao Ji is looking for a step for himself, if he passes the test, the matter of persuasion will be completed, but if he is stumped by the emperor, this matter will be a failure.

Shen Ao shook his spirits, recovered a little arrogance, and first let out a big word: "Please advise Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Ji smiled and glanced at Yang Jian, Yang Jian understood, and immediately walked out of Wenjing Pavilion with an oil umbrella, went to the treasury to make a circle, and came back with a brocade box.

Open the brocade box, only to see that there is a statue placed inside, the statue is stone, the style is extremely weird, at a glance, you will know that it is not the work of the Central Plains, and there are some impurities on the stone statue, and there are even traces of Seqin. As we all know, under normal circumstances, only ancient jade will appear color, because the jade is buried in the ground all the year round, and the mineral invasion makes the color of the jade change. Marble, on the other hand, is rarely infected by color, and unlike jade, it is not easy to react with other minerals.

This proves one thing, the stone statue must have been buried in the ground for many years, at least for more than a thousand years, so much so that when it was first unearthed, the color changed dramatically.

Shen Ao picked up the stone statue and began to observe the style of the stone statue, this golden statue is carved with a woman, the woman is holding a bow and arrows, opening the bow left and right, aiming into the distance, a pair of eyes are aiming forward with the direction of the arrow cluster, which is very majestic. What is especially strange is that the woman's right side of the rue seems to have been deliberately smoothed, leaving only the left side of the rue room still plump and full.

This is a very peculiar phenomenon, it is obvious that the rufang on the right side was deliberately smoothed during the carving, looking at the face of this woman, the characteristics of the Central Asian race are very obvious, the eyes are deep and the nose is high, and the complexion is mainly fair.

With careful observation, the next thing can start to make bold assumptions, Shen Ao put down the stone statue and glanced at Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji smiled on his lips, looking at himself quite provocatively, as if he thought that this antiquity had stumped Shen Ao.

It is important to know that the identification of antiques, especially in the Great Song Dynasty, almost no one can identify the antiquities of the Western Regions, and even the countries of the Western Regions can rarely judge the treasures unearthed in their own countries, for a very simple reason. Because there is no fault line in Chinese civilization, that is to say, there are traces of civilization from the beginning to its peak. However, for the Western Regions and other countries, their civilization is disorganized, just like the Indian subcontinent, first the local civilization of India, then ruled by the Aryans, the tradition began to have some European characteristics, and then it was invaded by the Arabs, the culture has been broken, and finally ruled by the Mongols, thousands of years later, there are few ancient Indians in the early days, as for the culture of ancient India, I am afraid that only from some bold inferences and a large number of archaeological excavations in later generations to find some clues.

The Central Plains civilization is different, for example, the pottery that appeared in the Shang Dynasty can continue to any period, although the style and characteristics of pottery will change slightly due to the passage of time, the workmanship is more and more exquisite, and the details are more delicate, but if you pick up the pottery of the Ming and Qing dynasties and compare it with the pottery of ancient merchants, you can still find many things in common.

Therefore, in Shen Ao's opinion, this stone statue is extremely difficult to identify, but in Zhao Ji's opinion, it is impossible for Shen Ao to identify the origin of this antique.

Shen Ao smiled slightly, the emperor was demonstrating to himself! Dude can't let him look flat. Shen Ao fell into deep thought, and began to recall some customs and customs of the Western Regions, as well as the content of world history, of course, there are also some ancient oriental books to corroborate.

A full hour passed, and it was noon at this time, Yang Jian quietly pulled Zhao Ji's sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for lunch." ”

Zhao Ji saw that Shen Ao was still stuck in contemplative memories, and shook his head with interest: "I'm not hungry, wait." ”

After urging four or five times in a row, Shen Ao opened his eyes, with a confident smile on his lips, and said, "Your Majesty has heard of the Malsats?" This should be an antiquity left by the Sutters of the Western Regions. He pointed to the statue: "The statue is a woman's surname, dressed in light armor, and holding a bow and crossbow, so it can be proved that the people who carved the stone statue must have revered their mother's surname, and it is said that this people also worshipped dragons, and they were skilled in archery, and they were good at using heavy cavalry, and their women also participated in battle." According to their customs, a young woman could not marry if she could not kill an enemy on the battlefield. In their society, men have a high regard for female surnames, so they are ridiculed by other ethnic groups as "the male servants of the mistress". ”

Shen Ao froze and continued: "Your Majesty looks at this sculpture, a woman, but there is no right ru, this is because the female surnames of the Sartyr people are brave and good at fighting, in order to make it easier for them to shoot arrows, these female surnames are even willing to cut off their right side of the rudger, and even think that only in this way will the heavens give them a steady stream of strength." Therefore, the students boldly speculated that this was the remnants of the Marsats. ”

Zhao Ji was stunned for a while, and glanced at Shen Ao, at this time, he had to add a little expectation to this Shen Ao's ability, this sculpture, because it was carved lifelike, was regarded as a treasure by the Liao people, but when it comes to its origin, the Liao people also don't know, Shen Ao only took more than an hour to see its origin, if Shen Ao is right, then this Shen Bachelor is too powerful.

Zhao Ji said quietly: "All this is what you said, what evidence can prove that the story you said is true or false?" ”

Shen Ao smiled even more and said, "I don't know if there is a book of "Liezi-King Mu of Zhou" by Xianqin in His Majesty's library? ”

The royal library, the collection of ancient books is unknown, Zhao Ji towards Yang Jiannunu, Yang Jian immediately rushed to the library, after two cups of tea, finally asked someone to move an ancient book.

Shen Ao patted the dust on the book, opened the ancient book, and found a piece of evidence, which read: "King Mu is not sympathetic to the country, is not happy with his concubines, travels recklessly, and rides eight horses...... Sui bin in the West Queen Mother, on the Yao Pond, the West Queen Mother is the Son of Heaven Yao, the king and it, and his words are sad......"

Shen Ao said: "This Western Queen Mother Country is the Matt people, the Matt people respect the female surname, the female is inferior to the male, and the king is served by the female surname, this Western Queen Mother should be the Queen Matt, Your Majesty, please ask someone to find the "Biography of Mu Tianzi" again." ”

Yang Jian went to look for this book again, Shen Ao opened it, and there was indeed a piece of customs and customs of the Mother Country of the Western Queen, which described in detail the social composition of its female superiority and male inferiority, and some unique customs, such as women can't kill an enemy, they can't get married, and some brave female surnames cut off the right ru in order to facilitate archery.

At that time, the Mates were in Central Asia, and King Mu of Zhou's westward journey did bring evidence to Shen Ao, during the reign of King Mu of Zhou, due to the strong national strength, the influence of the Zhou Dynasty in the west had extended to far away. King Mu also devoted himself to developing to the southeast, and through his tours, many local national tribes were brought under the rule of Zhou, and this western kingdom was a Central Asian tribal state that had been subordinated to the Zhou Dynasty thousands of years ago. In the eyes of the Zhou people at that time, how could a country have a queen, and how could women go to war, they simply referred to this country tribe as the mother country of the West through imagination.

With historical evidence, although the biography of King Zhou Mu is only a wild history, the description of the mother country of the king of the west is no different from the Matt people mentioned by Shen Ao, although there are slight traces of exaggeration, Zhao Ji has to believe it.

"Shen Ao's erudition, I can say that I have seen it today." Zhao Ji looked at Shen Ao with a smile, his eyes couldn't hide the look of appreciation, and continued: "I immediately issued an order to immediately allocate money and food for disaster relief. ”

Shen Ao smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise. ”

Zhao Jihu asked someone to put away the stone statue with a face, and said: "You don't want to slap my ass, I don't want to be a hero, hmph, if you don't come to intercede, I must fight with those students, let them see how powerful I am." Then he turned to a gentle tone: "Autumn is coming, how can students study with peace of mind if these things happen?" Yang Jian, asked someone to go out to spread the decree, and said that I had listened to Shen Qing's advice, and had already changed my mind, and told those students who were kneeling outside to disperse earlier, and sent 100 catties of carbon wood to Guozijian and Taixue, and after going back, I quickly changed my clothes and roasted the fire, don't get cold, I'm really going to fall ill, who will serve me in the future? ”

Yang Jian was also happy to see Shen Ao so knowledgeable, he didn't understand Shen Ao's Matt, but even the official family couldn't hide their appreciation for him, which showed that Shen Ao was extremely powerful, this is the son-in-law of the miscellaneous family...... Yang Jian responded happily: "The slave will go." ”
