The east side room serves as a hiding place for the funeral lady.

The number and type of burial goods are very rich.

It includes bronze, iron, pottery, jade, gold and silver, glass, lacquered wood, ivory and other utensils.

Among them, because the tomb was soaked in water many times, the lacquered wood and ivory ware were seriously decayed.

Some of the pottery was broken, and some of the bronze was badly corroded.

However, most of the other burial goods are still in very good condition.

After two days of cleaning, a large number of daily utensils made of bronze, that is, pots and pans, pots, plates and cups, etc., were cleaned out in large quantities and put in order.

As the easiest and largest utensils were cleared out one by one, the situation in the east side of the room immediately became much clearer.

However, it also brought more troubles to Professor Li, Chen Han and others.

In this east side room, it seems that more than one lady was buried!

At first, everyone actually thought that there was only one lady buried in the east side room.

Because this side chamber is rectangular, the width is only a little more than one meter six, which is about the same as the main burial chamber.

Subconsciously, everyone thought that the east side room was only enough to place a coffin.

However, with the unearthing of two consecutive lady seals, the situation immediately changed.

Yes, the east side room is not wide, but it is long enough!

The side chamber is more than six meters long, which is completely large enough to place multiple coffins vertically!

Chen Han squatted in the south of the east side of the room, holding a square seal in his hand and looking at it.

This seal is a gilded copper seal, the button on the seal is a turtle button, *** slightly stretched out of the ink pad, the turtle's back is plain without lines, four-legged, the tail hangs to the left, and the abdomen is hollow.

Such a hollow design is suitable for tying ribbons, that is, threading them with a ribbon and hanging them around the waist for easy carrying.

The ancients have always had the habit of hanging a seal around their waists.

After all, this thing was used too frequently in ancient times, and no matter what you do, you basically have to seal it with a seal to prove your identity.

On the printing surface, four small seals are engraved: "Mrs. Zuo's seal." ”

"Mrs. Left", which means that this lady should be the second in line.

Above her, there should be another "Right Lady".

In the end, whether the ancients respected the left or the right is indeed a very troublesome question for the general public.

But in fact, the answer to this question is correct whether it is left or right.

Because in ancient China, whether the left is respected or the right is respected depends on which era it is.

In different periods and eras, there are different regulations.

In the Zhou, Qin, and Western Han dynasties, people at that time were respected by the right.

At that time, the emperor and nobles were called "right relatives", and the big families were called "right clans" or "right surnames".

Wealthy families must live on the right side of the city, and the common people live on the left side of the city.

This is supported by historical evidence.

"Historical Records: Chen Shijia" said: "In July of the first year of the Second Emperor, there were 900 people in Yuyang, Tun Daze Township. ”

The "Lu Zuo" here refers to the civilians who live on the left side of the city.

Why didn't the people who were on the right go to the border?

Because Lu You lives in all aristocratic and wealthy families, can people go to the border business?

Similarly, "Historical Records: The Biography of Lian Po Lin Xiangru" records: Lin Xiangru returned to Zhao completely, made meritorious contributions at the Mianchi Meeting, worshiped as Shangqing, and was on the right of Lian Po.

When Lian Po heard this, he was greatly annoyed and unwilling to succumb to Lin Xiangru.

Lin Xiangru stood on Lian Po's right hand side in the court, and Lian Po thought that he was under Lin Xiangru.

This historical record, regardless of whether the story is true or not.

At least it can be determined that when Taishi Gong wrote the "Historical Records", the Western Han people still generally believed that the right was more respectful than the left, otherwise he would not have recorded such a story!

Therefore, during the Western Han Dynasty, it was correct to respect the right.

So, since a "Left Lady Seal" has been unearthed in the west room, it at least shows that in Zhao Hu's harem, there is a Right Lady with a higher status than her.

Because if there were no Mrs. Right, there would be no Mrs. Left.

The queen can be vacant, but the concubines below are unlikely to skip the left and seal the right first.

It's like a competition, how can there be a second place without first place?

Either the left and right ladies are vacant, or there are both.

It is impossible to have a situation where there is only Mrs. Left and no Mrs. Right.

However, another lady seal found in the east side room is not engraved with the "right lady seal", but the "lady Tai seal".

"High in the Sky"

This seal was discovered by Lin Ya, and it comes from the southeast of the room, and the shape is the same as that of the "Lady Zuo Seal".

It is also a gilded copper seal, and it is also a square turtle button, and even the size is basically the same.

It can be seen that it should be made in the same batch, but different words are engraved when the lettering is made.

This surprised Chen Han.

Mrs. Tai's seal was unearthed, indicating that the owner of the seal should also be buried in the east side of the room.

In other words, at least two ladies were buried in the west side room.

If you find the "right lady seal" again, it will be the burial of the three ladies!

It was determined before that the tomb outside the tomb was sealed once, and it has not been dug up since.

In other words, all the burial goods in this tomb, the owner of the tomb, and the martyrdom were buried at one time.

Including, these burial ladies.

These ladies can't be coincidental when Zhao Hu, the king of Nanyue, died, and died of illness at the same time, right?

Obviously, they were martyred alive!

It's kind of scary.

Zhao Hu, who gives people the impression in the history books, is just a monarch who is more aware of the wind and the rudder, and is a little weak and not strong.

I didn't expect to be so cruel to my own people?

It is cruel enough to use some subordinates and slaves to be buried.

actually buried his beloved concubine and wife together?

The last person to do this was Qin II Hu Hai!

After the death of Qin Shi Huang, he took all the concubines of Qin Shi Huang into the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang for burial.

Later, when part of the burial pit of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was unearthed, there was a burial pit for the concubine, and the scene was unbearable, there was not even a coffin, so she was killed on the spot and thrown into the pit.

I don't know if the person who ordered the burial of the harem lady was Zhao Hu's own order during his lifetime, or Zhao Yingqi, who succeeded to the throne after his death.

It is estimated that there is no answer to this question, after all, there is no historical record.

But compared to the brutal Qin II.

Zhao Hu's wives were treated much better when they were buried.

All kinds of silk and satin, jade, bronze, pottery, and gold are used for burial.

And there are also coffins prepared.

Chen Han found the traces of the lacquer coffin next to the location where he found the "Lady Zuo Seal".

According to the observation of the unearthed situation, the lacquer coffin is painted with red lacquer inside, and black lacquer is painted outside, and the black lacquer may also be painted.

However, the size of the coffin is unknown.

And Mrs. Zuo's bones still remain.

Or because of the repeated water invasion in the room, the bones have also suffered serious damage.

Only some vertebrae, ribs, foot bones, and a few teeth remain. The vertebrae of the spine have a bronze mirror and a hook.

Because this skeleton is close to Mrs. Zuo's gilded bronze seal, Chen Han deduced that this skeleton should be Mrs. Zuo's remains.

As for the lady Tai, Lin Ya didn't find any bone traces around, I'm afraid it was completely decayed.
