Chapter 275: Liu He: I'm so miserable

The discovery of words on the gold cake is naturally surprising.

What's even more surprising is the time, place and character records on the text, which undoubtedly proves once again that this tomb is the tomb of "Liu He".

After all, the words "Chennanhai Haiduan Houhe" are written on the gold cake.

It would have been a great surprise if these words had been discovered before the main coffin had been opened.

It's a pity that before these words were discovered, the Academy of Social Sciences had already found the private seal of "Liu He" in the main coffin, which turned from sending charcoal in the snow to icing on the cake.

And Liu He's private seal is also being cleaned up.

The seal was not large, and although there was a lot of mud attached to the button, it was quickly cleaned up.

The seal button reflects the identity and status of the owner of the tomb, but it is only wrapped in silt, and it is difficult to see the true face.

After the silt was cleaned up, the true face was revealed, which was a wind bird seal button.

In the laboratory on the third floor of the archaeological base, under the illumination of searchlights, Kong Jianwen and Director Wen of the Jiangxi Institute kept playing with this wind bird print, spraying surprises.

"It's the first time I've found this kind of button seal!"

"It's definitely the first time."

The two of them wore white gloves on their hands, so they put the seal in the palm of their hands and turned around to observe.

"The head is also with a little jade skin on it, specifically for a little black color."

"This wind is so powerful, and the appearance of birds is lifelike!"

Generally speaking, in the Western Han Dynasty, the emperor used a tiger button, and the princes and kings, including the princes, used a turtle button.

But this private seal of the Marquis of Haidun is a phoenix bird pattern seal, which is very special.

The phoenix, in terms of status, is extraordinary.

Although the Western Han Dynasty has not yet said that dragons and phoenixes are auspicious, phoenixes are not only available to queens.

But the "phoenix bird" is undoubtedly a very high-level divine beast.

Because of the Chu State of the Warring States, there is the worship of the phoenix, and the phoenix is also the totem beast of the Chu people.

Liu Bang is actually from Chu, he is from Pei County, which was originally the chassis of the Chu State.

So in Lao Liu's family, the phoenix bird is also a precious beast.

But on the button print, the phoenix is usually not used.

Liu He chose to use a noble but uncommon button seal system like a phoenix, perhaps to express his complex psychology of being an emperor, a prince, and a prince.

Liu He's psychology is very complex and changeable.

A "Da Liu Mark" emphasizes his noble lineage and identity, highlighting the psychology of arrogance.

But on the gold cake, he humbly called "Chenhe", a respectful meaning.

And on the private seal, it is ingenious to use a phoenix button that is not in the norm, and this phoenix bird is carved into the appearance of spreading its wings and about to fly, as if flying and struggling.

In the outer coffin room, a Liu He's dressing mirror was also found, and in the corner of the mirror, Confucius's aphorism was copied: "Use it to do, and give it up to hide." ”

If the superior uses my words, then I will do a good job, and if I don't use them, then I will hide my talents.

It can be seen that during Liu He's more than ten years of house arrest and the days when he became the Marquis of Haidun for the next four years, his psychology has undergone many and drastic changes.

From the beginning of arrogance and disobedience, to the later willingness to obey, and then to the final emperor If he is willing to use me, I am willing to do my best, if I don't need me, then forget it. …

It is estimated that Liu He witnessed the governance of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty for more than ten years after he ascended the throne, and watched Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty make achievements that were not inferior to Emperor Wen and Emperor Wu.

It's just that although Liu He has finally let go of the resentment of missing out on the throne, it is impossible for Emperor Xuan of Han to use this person who once sat on the throne to hand him any errands.

Moreover, in the fourth year of the Marquis of Haidu, he cut his fiefdom by 3,000 households, which made Liu He indignant, and even vomited blood and was angry, and soon died of illness.

Although it is recorded in historical records that Liu He was frail and sickly, he often needed to rest on the bed.

But no matter how weak and sick he was, he was not so coincidental that he cut off 3,000 food towns with his front foot, and he died of illness on his back foot.

Liu He was most likely still angry with Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

It's really miserable to think about it.

Originally, they all honestly put it down, planning to "use it to do it, and give it up to hide it." "Yes, the result was for no reason, just because of a trivial matter, he directly cut off 3,000 of his 4,000 food estates.

Can you not be sad and angry!

Kong Jianwen and Director Wen put down the jade seal with emotion.

At this point, the jade seal has figured out the situation.

The next day, the archaeologists from the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Jiangxi Institute gathered again in the laboratory where the inner coffin was parked.

Since a private seal has been unearthed in the inner coffin, will the golden seals of the Marquis of Haiyang and the King of Changyi be unearthed?

This inevitably made all the archaeologists present look forward to it.

As for why it is a gold seal and not a jade seal, there is also a theory.

When doing private printing, because there is no official system of explicit regulations, theoretically any material used for private printing is fine, and no one cares.

Mr. Sui is just a five-year-old doctor, but the private seal of the word "Sui" in his mouth is made of jade with an average texture.

Liu He's "Liu He" seal is also a private seal.

But! This is limited to private printing!

In terms of the use of official seals, the Western Han Dynasty officials have strict regulations.

The emperor's seal jade is called the jade seal.

The princes, kings, and princes used gold, which was called the golden seal.

That is, "the emperor's six seals" and "XX king's seal" and "XX marquis's seal", the material of these seals is insurmountable, and what grade is used.

Therefore, when the jade prince seal and the gold imperial seal were issued in the tomb of the Nanyue king, Chen Han thought that this was an act of transgressing the system.

The seal of the Marquis of Haiyang and the seal of the king of Changyi naturally have to be the golden seals that conform to the system of the Han Dynasty.

The on-site archaeologists are also very much looking forward to these two gold seals.

It's just that the situation in the inner coffin is very complicated.

Historical records: When the emperor died, he was buried naked and covered with a wall.

Of course, that doesn't mean you don't wear clothes.

Instead, they were buried naked, then covered with jade, and then wrapped in clothes.

It's just that the situation in the inner coffin of the Marquis of Haiyang is not very good, Liu He's own bones have been decayed, and the clothes that were originally stuffed with the inner coffin have all turned into dirt.

Although the burial utensils are still luxurious, the coffin collapsed, the water flooded with mud, the relics were stacked, and some of the burial utensils were deeply embedded in the coffin.

If you want to extract cultural relics in such a coffin and find the gold seal, it is not ordinarily difficult.

It can be said that it is a difficult clean-up work that has never been seen before.

The main coffin was supposed to have a normal height.

But perhaps because of the earthquake, the inner coffin has been pressed into a relatively thin sheet.

And it's high on one side and low on the other, and it's very strong.

The remains of burial goods of different materials have been seriously overlapped.

It's like being compressed by a vacuum.

It's definitely not easy to clean it up one by one!
