"Zhao Yuan"

"This is really another big addition to the historical record in the history of archaeology."

Professor Li shook his head and sighed: "If it weren't for this tomb of the king of Nanyue, if it wasn't for the discovery of Zhao Hu's own tomb. ”

"I'm afraid that no one will know his name as Zhao Yuan."

"Although it is said that historians record history impartially, especially the historians of the pre-Qin and Qin and Han dynasties, even if they are threatened by power, they will not give in, and they still record history fairly."

"But after all, the historian still has his own nationality and his own position, and he is not a ruthless historical record machine."

For the special group of historians, it has been praised from ancient times to the present.

The reason for the praise is to praise the solar terms of the historians and praise them for writing straightforwardly.

Since ancient times, China has attached great importance to the recording of history.

As early as the pre-Qin period, there were historians who specialized in recording various historical events.

Moreover, most of these historians have been passed down from family generation to generation, forming a special professional inheritance.

These historians are proving to the world that they are straightforward.

In 607 BC, Jin Linggong set up the "Hongmen Banquet", intending to get rid of Zhengqing Zhao Dun.

As a result, Zhao Dun ran away.

When Zhao Dun's brother Zhao Chuan learned of the situation, he quickly retaliated and launched a surprise attack, killing Jin Linggong in the peach orchard.

Dong Hu, the historian of the Jin State at that time, fairly left five big characters on the history books: "Zhao Dun killed his king".

Straight to say that Zhao Dun is a powerful minister who committed rebellion!

This evaluation, in the Spring and Autumn Period, was even more embarrassing to him than killing Zhao Dun.

Afterwards, Zhao Dun immediately found Dong Hu, hoping that he could revise the record that the person was not killed by Zhao Dun, but by his brother Zhao Chuan.

However, the historian knew it very well in his heart.

Zhao Dun is the ruling Zhengqing, the monarch was killed, Zhao Dun ran away instead, although he didn't go out of the border, but he didn't arrest the real murderer after he came back, this is not a murderer, who is the murderer?

Zhao Piercing is just that sword, and Zhao Dun is the real sword bearer.

No matter what Zhao Dun said, Dong Hu was unwilling to revise the history books, so he had to record Zhao Dun's murder.

This incident has been praised for thousands of years and has always been regarded as a model for historians.

At the same time, it also laid a solid foundation for the rigor and correctness of Chinese history.

It's just that the historian may write straight, but this does not mean that the historian has no position.

The same thing, with different contexts and different words, the deep meaning of the record is different.

Not to mention that with the deepening of centralized power, the imperial power is expanding more and more.

By the time of the Han Dynasty, because the monarch worshiped the ministers, the system of the ministers worshipping the monarch was still retained, and the emperor of the Han family still had the pre-Qin style, and the historians were still able to write straight.

After the Han Dynasty, the historians gradually changed from being independent to obeying the authorities.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, after the high concentration of imperial power, the emperor could change some historical records at will and write black into white.

Especially the historians of the Qing Dynasty, basically what the emperor said could be remembered and what could not be remembered, he remembered how he wanted.

Although Sima Qian has not fallen to such a point, he can go to history as he likes.

But after all, he is a native of the Western Han Dynasty and received an orthodox imperial education in the Western Han Dynasty.

It is impossible for him to write the history of Nanyue from the perspective of Nanyue.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Central Committee of the Western Han Dynasty, many things that are rebellious and even damage the authority of the central imperial power, of course, Sima Qian will not remember.

In the "Historical Records", the Nanyue State was a vassal state that was subject to the central government of the Western Han Dynasty, and the successive monarchs succeeded to the throne by the central court.

But in fact, the state of Nanyue was almost independent of the central Western Han Dynasty and became a country of its own.

And behind closed doors, they all lead the people with the dignity of "emperor".

Sima Qian will not record these things in detail, but will only use the Spring and Autumn penmanship to brush them over.

And the name of "Zhao Yuan", which was changed after Zhao Hu succeeded to the throne, was naturally also brushed by the Spring and Autumn Period.

"Hey, if the history books of the Six Kingdoms can still be preserved, I don't know how many records that subvert the existing history will appear."

Professor Li sighed again for no reason.

Just a superficial submission to the central part of the Western Han Dynasty, Nanyue State, has a lot of real history, which has been buried in the official historical records of the Western Han Dynasty.

After the Qin Dynasty unified the Six Kingdoms, how many historical records of the other Six Kingdoms should have been destroyed and covered up?

In the history books of the six countries, how much black material of other countries, or real history, is recorded?

Like the "Bamboo Book Chronicles" of the Jin and Wei kingdoms, how many of the official historical records of other countries have been buried by later generations?

I don't dare to think about it.

"It's still going to have to be uncovered by archaeology."

Chen Han also nodded in agreement.

In addition to Zhao Yuan's seal, in this third group of seals, there is also a jade seal, which is engraved with the word "Emperor Seal" with a small seal. ”

"However, whether it is this Zhao Yuan seal or the emperor seal, it is different from the emperor seal and the imperial seal used for sealing mud in the west ear chamber."

"The two seals used to seal the mud should be other seals, and they were not buried in the inner coffin, perhaps in the east and west side rooms."

"This tomb owner has a lot of seals."

"There are 9 engraved and unwritten seals on the inner coffin alone, plus the three seals used for sealing mud in the west ear chamber, there are 12 pieces."

"I don't know if there are any other seals."

Chen Han fiddled with the other two seals in the third group.

The owner of the tomb, Zhao Hu (眜), the situation of the inner coffin is quite special.

It's all jade.

In addition to the jade clothes, jade bi, and jade huang, there are also seven jade and stone seals.

According to the system, as the prince and king canonized by the Western Han Dynasty, he must not be able to use the jade seal, this thing is called the jade seal, which can only be used by the emperor.

But the old Zhao family, a martial emperor and an emperor Wen, never took the Central Committee of the Western Han Dynasty in their eyes.

There is nothing more to talk about such trivial matters.

However, most of these jade seals are wordless, which is quite strange.

"Professor Li, do you have any meaning for these wordless prints?"

"After the printing is made, it always has to be used, whether it is a yin or yang engraving, it must be engraved with the owner's name or official position, so as to have its meaning of existence."

Of the nine seals on the tomb owner, seven are jade and stone seals, six of which are jade seals and one is turquoise.

Among these jade and stone seals, only three jade seals are engraved with inscriptions, respectively engraved with "Taizi", "Zhao Yuan" and "Emperor Seal", and the remaining four are all wordless seals.

"This star really wants to retire"

It's a bit too much for a wordless print.

Chen Han really doesn't remember any other archaeological precedents that can support this situation.

He looked at Professor Li with blank eyes.

But Professor Li couldn't give an answer.

Why did Zhao Hu put so many wordless prints in his inner coffin?

He doesn't know!

"Well..."

"This..."

He has been doing this for a long time, and he can't answer.

"Let's talk about that later."

Director Fu took over the topic, waved his hand and said: "The inner coffin has just been cleaned up, and the inner coffin will be cleaned first." ”

"I saw just now, under the jade piece, there are still some remains of the tomb owner, and there are also jade figures."

"There are also many pearls that have been petrified and calcified in the part of the jade coat hood."

"We still have a lot of work to do."
