267. Wu Ding married three wives

"Good Woman's Tomb"? Xu Le muttered!

"Deputy Xu, this is your heirloom nephew, and his teacher is Mr. Zheng Zhenxiang," Liu Fuzhong introduced.

Xu Le smiled when he heard the name, he didn't want to bother, but he had no choice, he still had to go!

Tang Jigen was a little confused, listening to Liu Fuzhong's introduction, "My uncle, so young"? However, when he heard the three words of Deputy Xu's office, he immediately stepped forward, "Uncle Shi is good", a very serious look.

Xu Le was a little afraid of this nephew and grandson, looking at Ji Gen's face, he looked very serious, and said in his heart, "I hope you are the real scripture"!

"Is my sister in Anyang"? Xu Le asked at Ji Gen.

"Uncle Shi, I just arranged my husband, and she is looking at some information in the office"! Tang Jigen said.

Xu Le was thinking about the things in the west, and then about Senior Sister Zheng, "Senior Brother Liu, Ji Gen, I'll go and visit my senior sister first!"

Xu Le was just about to go out of the door, and the two of them were about to follow outside, when they heard someone shouting outside, "Is it Xu Le?"

An elderly woman in her sixties who looked like she was in her seventies walked in, wearing a coarse cloth dark blue dress, very simple, with a pair of glasses, a square face, and short hair, and now those who dare to call themselves Xu Le must be close to them, needless to say, this is Senior Sister Zheng!

Xu Le hurriedly walked up, "Hello senior sister, I'm Xu Le!"

The old lady was surrounded by a lot of people at once, shouting, "Teacher Zheng is good, Mr. Zheng is good, Director Zheng is good".

I was shocked to hear that the young man was actually called Senior Sister Zheng Zhenxiang, and then I heard the old lady say with a smile, "I'm very happy if you can call me Senior Sister, otherwise I would have to call you Deputy Xu!"

"Senior sister, don't scold me, I came here for private business, just passing by and wanting to study, so Mr. and Senior Brother told me that I would call you when I arrived in Yinxu, but I was afraid of troublesome you, so I didn't call you"!

"Oh, I haven't seen Mr. for more than ten years, is Mr. okay? My sister is also very good, right?" Senior Sister Zheng said in a low voice.

"Senior sister, the gentleman is very good, the teacher's health is okay, and the senior brother's health is also not bad, don't worry"!

"Okay, that's good, I just heard at the door that there is a young man, so young is a cadre of the deputy department, this can't be a liar, I guessed that it might be you, as soon as I asked what the surname was, I said that it was the surname Xu, I knew that you were here"! The old lady laughed.

Xu Le smiled embarrassedly!

"Senior sister, there is a good woman's tomb over there, and the woman's good tomb was dug by you and your brother-in-law, right?" Xu Le asked, this is the main question, and there is no need to worry about others!

"And Mr. Zhang Heng, he is from Nandu University"! Senior sister hurriedly said: "It can't be said that it is the credit of the two of us, it is the credit of everyone!"

"However, it is the persistence of Mr. who has unearthed the tomb of the woman," Tang Jigen interjected next to him.

"I'm talking to your uncle, how can you interject", the senior sister said to Tang Jigen, her teaching is very strict, a bit like when Mr. was young.

Xu Le waved his hand, "Senior sister, Ji Gen is telling the truth, I have heard this story, our own family does not need to be so modest", and then he said to Zheng Zhenxiang: "Senior sister, let's go over, you tell me about it"!

"Let's go, I have the right to speak on this", the old lady took Xu Le's hand very confidently and walked out, Xu Le was very happy, both in age and seniority, they seemed very kind, they were all a family!

After walking for more than ten minutes, when she arrived at a cemetery, the old lady pointed to the place in front and said, "This is the tomb of the woman"!

The tomb of the woman is located in the southwest of the base site of Group C, which is one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the Zongmiao area of Yinxu Palace since 1928, and is also the only one that has been preserved since the scientific excavation of Yinxu, the tomb is less than six meters long from north to south, four meters wide from east to west, and 7.5 meters deep. On the tomb, there is a hall called "Mu Xinzong" by the oracle bones.

Without the introduction of the old lady, Xu Le knew it, because a sentence kept echoing in his mind: "For yourself or for others, should women be born weakling, I want to patrol the Quartet on behalf of the king"!

This is good women!

I don't know why Xu Le suddenly remembered Qing Ning, the appearance of wearing a phoenix crown and a xia veil, phoenix wings and purple golden bells, standing on the station car holding Fang Tianhalberd, what a mess!

He shook his head, dismissing the mess.

"Jigen, senior sister is an expert, you must have a lot of experience learning from senior sister, tell me about this woman!" Xu Le looked at his senior sister and then at Tang Jigen.

Tang Jigen looked at his teacher's approving look, a little proud, "Uncle Shi, let me tell you about the general situation, if there is something wrong, please ask my teacher to add it to me when the time comes", Xu Le nodded!

The woman is good, the surname is good (pronounced zǐ), the surname of the same son, the woman is a relative title, the pre-Qin female surname is written at the end, the first female military commander in Chinese history (oracle bone inscription), and also an outstanding female positive and negative Santai family. "Woman" is a relative title. In the bronze inscription, it is also called "stepmother Xin" because her temple is called Xin, that is, Yi Xin, which is called Yan Xin in the Zhou sacrifice divination. Zu Geng and Zu Jia's maternal generation "Mu Xin" is also her.

A large number of oracle bones unearthed show that in a series of wars between Wu Ding and the surrounding countries and tribes, Nu Hao was repeatedly ordered to recruit soldiers on behalf of the Shang king, and repeatedly served as a military general to fight on the battlefield. He once commanded more than 10,000 troops to attack the Qiang side, captured a large number of Qiang people, and became the general who led the most troops in a single battle during the Wuding period. Participated in and commanded major operations against the earth, Pakistan, and Yi sides, and was often under the command of famous generals such as Lan and Hou Xu. In the battle against the Pakistani side, he led the Lan to set up an ambush to cut off the retreat of the Pakistani army, and waited for Wu Ding to defeat the Pakistani army from the east, drive it into the ambush, and annihilate it. It is the earliest ambush battle recorded in the history of Chinese warfare. In the Shang generation of "the major affairs of the country, in the worship and Rong" ("Zuo Chuan: The Thirteenth Year of Chenggong"), the woman was often ordered to preside over various festivals such as worshiping the heavens, ancestors, and sacred springs, and was also an official of divination, and was an important member of the Wuding ruling group. He led troops to suppress the slave rebellion. Dedicated to maintaining the rule and privileges of the slave-owning class, he was favored by Wu Ding, and was sealed in a foreign country, shouldering the heavy responsibility of defending the land and conscription. Died during the Wuding period.

Therefore, Wu Ding liked her very much, after her death, Wu Ding was grief-stricken, and posthumously called "Xin", and the descendants of the Shang generation respectfully called her "Mother Xin" and "Mother Xin".

Xu Le's mind suddenly flashed some figures, the female warrior, the female warrior who didn't know the name, Tu Shannu, and even her grandmother.

She is a famous military strategist in Chinese history, a female general who is good at fighting, and the oracle bone inscription of Yinxu records that she conquered many surrounding countries, which is rare in history. However, the Yue unearthed from the tomb of the woman should belong to the guard of honor, which is held by a special person and stands on the chariot. It is worth mentioning that the role of this ceremonial guard is found in the early tombs of our country.

She is not only a good wife, a good general, and a good pros and cons of the Santai family, but also able to preside over the sacrifice to heaven on behalf of the king, this status is too high! The only pity is that he died at the age of thirty-three!

When Xu Le heard this, his mind flashed "impossible"!

Wu Ding was fifty-nine years old, that was seventy or eighty years old, and his wife died at the age of thirty-three, although the life span of people was short at that time, but thirty-three was still short, and it was as a royal concubine!

"How did you die"? Xu Le asked coldly!

"Difficult birth, or the sequelae of the war"! Senior Sister Zheng said.

"What, dystocia"? Xu Le was stunned for a moment, is there such a coincidence?

Tu Shannu doesn't seem to be very old, she also died by caesarean section, this woman is actually thirty-three years old, click, dystocia and died!

Is this funny? Don't you know how much strength a female general has and how good her body is, how can she have a difficult birth?

"Has the child been born"? Xu Le asked an inexplicable word.

"I was born", the senior sister didn't understand what Xu Le meant, but Xu Le felt very interesting, it was amazing, the same age, the same way of death, the same child was born, and he actually left the same voice, what does it mean?

"You go on," he said to Don Jigen.

"Among the more than 10,000 oracle bones unearthed in Yinxu in Anyang alone, there are more than 200 references to her." Tang Jigen continued to introduce, Xu Le nodded, the probability of this appearance is a bit high!

There is a Shang generation, Wu Ding is definitely a talented emperor, he can get the temple name Gaozong, this is the biggest praise for him, is that he has expanded the territory of the Shang generation several times through a series of wars, and the general who led the army to fight for Wu Ding is his queen's wife.

Shang Gaozong Wuding had three queens before and after, and the wife of the king of Shang was not only his spouse but also a general and a minister, and the wife was one of his original partners. However, Wu Ding had more than sixty wives, and the woman was only one of them. It is worth noting that the woman does not live with Wu Ding, but often stays in her fiefdom. Have their own fiefs and possessions. This phenomenon never appeared again in later Chinese history. At the time, however, it seemed to be a common phenomenon. Wu Ding's wives and concubines and female generals had at least a few women in addition to women, and there was also a woman whose name was recorded, and she also led many expeditions and managed agriculture and internal affairs for Wu Ding. She was sealed in Jingfang, which is now Xingzhou, Jizhou.

The senior sister persevered for nearly forty years before finally successfully excavating the tomb of the woman, and it is also the only tomb intact. Through these oracle bone inscriptions unearthed, it is known that Wu Ding has conducted many secret marriages for his beloved wife.

The senior sister introduced, maybe Wu Ding loves his wife too much, and hopes that someone can protect her below, right? There is a Shang generation of superstitious ghosts and gods, advocating the mandate of heaven. They believe that everything in the world depends on the heavens, the gods, and the ancestors. Wu Ding's feelings for the woman are very special, maybe he is in love with each other, maybe he respects each other like a guest, he is always difficult to let go of the woman's departure. So the enlightened monarch betrothed his cherished wife to the long-dead virtuous king, presumably believing that these dead ancestors would protect his wife in the underworld, or, as he could, that the excellence of a good woman could be compared with that of a great emperor.

A total of 1,928 burial items were unearthed here, including more than 440 bronze objects, more than 590 jade objects, and more than 560 bone objects. There are also stone tools, ivory objects, pottery and more than 6,000 shells. The utensils unearthed from the tomb of the woman are exceptionally exquisite, such as the small jade figure with exquisite craftsmanship and the ivory cup inlaid with turquoise.

Turquoise, Xu Le was a little trembling when he heard turquoise, and he couldn't help but shake his left wrist!

Among the large number of bronzes unearthed, there are many inscriptions with the inscription "good woman" on them. In particular, a weapon with the inscription "Good Women" "Yue" is generally considered by scholars to be a sign of power that women can lead troops to fight.

"Senior sister, which kind of underworld marriages did this Shang King Wuding have for his beloved wives?" Xu Le felt that there was a problem, the two of them could be said to be like-minded, and if they kept ringing in their ears, were they unwilling or what? And there must be a problem here, either the problem of the woman or the problem of Wu Ding, of course, the problem of the two of them may be a problem, the most important thing is that Xu Le feels that there must be an external force, which is a bit interesting! Xu Le smiled.

Zheng Zhenxiang didn't expect Xu Le to pay attention to this issue, "According to research, it is Wuding's sixth ancestor B, eleventh ancestor Taijia, and thirteenth ancestor Chengtang. ā€

Xu Le thought about it, Zu Yi, the son of Shang King Hejia, has the thirteenth monarch of the Shang generation. After the death of Hejia, Zu Yi succeeded to the throne of monarch. Zu Yi died in the nineteenth year of his reign, and the temple name is Zhongzong.

Xu Le thought about it and smiled, during the reign of Zu Yi, he did nothing else but move and play, and moved the capital from Xiang (now Huang County, Yuzhou Province) to Geng (now Hejin City, Jinzhou Province). The following year, he moved from Geng to Xingzhou (now Xingzhou City, Jizhou Province). Later, due to the river disaster in Xing, the capital was moved to Yubi again (that is, the sand dune platform, now the Beida platform of Guangzong County, Xingtai City, Jizhou Province). Zu Yi has sent troops to pacify Lanyi, Banfang and other countries several times, and relieved the threat of the Yi people in the southeast to the Shang generation. He also appointed Wu Xian as an assistant to the government, so that the social economy of the Shang generation could be restored and developed, and the country of the Shang generation would flourish again.

Taijia, the surname of the child, the name to. Shang Tang's eldest grandson, the son of Taiding, the nephew of Wai Bing and Zhong Ren, and the fourth monarch of the Shang generation.

At the beginning of Taijia's succession, Yi Yin, the elder of the Four Dynasties, assisted the government, and Yi Yin wrote several articles such as "Wanton Life" and "Ancestral Queen", teaching Taijia to follow the legal system of his ancestors and strive to be a Ming monarch. Under the supervision of Yi Yin, Taijia was okay in the first two years after he succeeded to the throne, but from the third year onwards, he arbitrarily gave orders, blindly enjoyed himself, tyrannized the people, and destroyed the laws and regulations formulated by Tang. Although Yi Yin tried every persuasion, he couldn't listen to it, so Yi Yin had to banish him to Tonggong near the Shangtang cemetery, let him reflect on himself, and regent himself became the country, known as "Yi Yin put Taijia" in history. Taijia was in Tonggong for three years, repenting and blaming himself, and Yiyin welcomed him back to Bodu (now Shangqiu City, Yuzhou Province) and returned to him. Taijia, who was back in power, was able to cultivate virtue, and all the princes were submissive to the king of Shang, and the people were at peace.

This is the master of ZTE!

Needless to say, it is Shang Tang, the first founding monarch of Dashang!

Plus Pan Geng, Di Xin, these are all promising kings, but Di Xin used too much force and became the king of Xu, plus Wu Ding, Dashang has a total of five Ming monarchs and one king.

Did Wu Ding really want those ancestors to bless their wives? Or is there another plan, or is there something the two of them are conspiring for, what do they want to avoid, or are they trying to explore something?
