Chapter 295: The Missing Marquis of the Sea Dusk
What is the explanation for the cause of the death of the Marquis of Haidu?
After the traces of melon seeds from the esophagus to *** were found, a layer of suspicion was covered.
However, Chen Han and Kong Jianwen are not human physicologists after all, let alone biologists.
As for the cause of Liu He's death, it is definitely not the direction of their research.
Chen Han and Kong Jianwen's discussion was simply curious about this matter.
In fact, their speculations are also random guesses.
Poisoning with melons, and then poisoning Liu He to death.
It is just a speculation based on the complicated relationship between Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and Liu He, which has not the slightest evidence.
This kind of speculation, without actual evidence, is impossible to write an argumentative paper or something like that, and send it out to the public.
Because such a statement is easy to mislead the public.
It may be that in the paper, the possibility of Liu He being poisoned is only rigorously discussed.
But when it came to the mouth of the marketing account, Liu He had already been poisoned.
Even the marketing account can make up a logical and self-consistent story that Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty poisoned Liu He to death.
Chen Han doesn't plan to spread rumors about such a good "hot spot" as a marketing account.
After chatting briefly with the teacher and sharing their guesses, the two extracted all the melon seeds in Liu He's esophagus and throat.
After that, the melon seeds will be sent together for testing.
The main thing is to do a test to see if there are any toxins.
Things that have toxins don't become non-toxic because of time.
Arsenic, for example, was what it was 2,000 years ago, and what it will be like 2,000 years later.
During the previous archaeology, arsenic was found in some large tombs.
Of course, the owners of those tombs were not poisoned by arsenic, which was generally used as a medicinal herb for burial.
Yes, arsenic is not just a highly toxic substance, it actually has medicinal properties.
Historically, arsenic has been used to treat sleeping sickness, tuberculosis, skin diseases and other stubborn diseases.
This is a serious Chinese medicine!
Of course, if you use it too much, it will poison people.
It's a medicine that is three parts poisonous.
These melon seeds are taken for laboratory testing, and you may be able to figure out whether they contain toxins or not.
If these melon seeds are really poisonous, it will reveal a thousand-year-old secret hidden under history!
......
The next day, in the afternoon.
The melon seeds have been sent to the capital, and the rest of the archaeological team members don't have to worry about it.
Chen Han, Zhuang Yunpeng, Lin Ya and others returned to work in the inner coffin and continued to clean and excavate the inner coffin.
After more than half a month of excavation and cleaning, the inner coffin is basically clear.
The lacquer box that was originally buried was basically cleaned out and opened.
Other scattered jade artifacts have also been properly preserved.
It's just that the "Hou Yin of the Sea Dusk", which has been in the hearts of the archaeological team members, has never been traced.
"Yugui, Yuhuan, Yubi, these lacquer boxes are all jade ritual vessels!"
Zhuang Yunpeng scratched his head in annoyance, and said puzzledly: "None of the lacquer boxes contain the seal of the Marquis of Haidu!"
"What about Liu He's official seal?!"
Everyone never thought that they would not be able to find the Hou Yin of Haidu.
After discovering Liu He's private seal and confirming the identity of the owner of the tomb, everyone had full confidence in the existence of the Hou Yin of Haidu.
The nobles of the Western Han Dynasty, as long as they are nobles with official positions, must have official seals.
And these official seals will inevitably be buried with them.
That kind of petty official doesn't talk about it.
At the level of a liehou, it is absolutely impossible to only accompany the funeral of the private seal, but not the funeral of the official seal.
And as long as it wills
If the official seals are buried and the tomb is not stolen, then these official seals will definitely be found by the archaeological team.
Because the materials used to make the official seal are all copper, gold, and stone.
It is precisely these three materials that have little impact on the time scale of one or two thousand years.
Neither gold, nor copper, nor stone, can be damaged in just one or two thousand years.
So it will inevitably be in the tomb, at most it will be crushed and deformed, or cracked and so on.
But it can't be completely gone!
But something magical happened.
Liu He's Haiduan Hou Yin is really gone!
At this time, Liu He's inner coffin had been completely cleaned out.
All kinds of lacquer boxes and jade objects were sent to the lacquered wood laboratory next door to open the boxes.
Now, in Liu He's inner coffin, there is only a glass piece tightly attached to the bottom of the coffin.
Obviously, Liu He's Hailun Hou Yin should not be in the coffin.
However, Chen Han still said with a little expectation, "Is there a possibility?"
"These glass pieces are actually not glass mats, but glass jade clothes made by Liu He for himself?"
"It's just that because it's been too long, these glass pieces are all scattered, just like the situation in the tomb of the king of Nanyue before?"
"After these glass pieces are scattered, they are all deposited at the bottom of the coffin, so they look like a glass mat?"
Chen Han found Kong Jianwen full of hope and said his guess.
He thinks so because if the guess is correct.
It is possible that Liu He's official seal was scattered because of the jade clothes, and then it was pressed under the jade piece.
However, even he himself has little confidence in this speculation.
In fact, it is also unlikely.
Kong Jianwen shook his head and pulled Chen Han around next to the coffin.
"Xiao Chen, you know that the principle of archaeological excavation is that no cultural relics will be damaged."
"The reason why these jade pieces have not been extracted for a long time is because the jade pieces are close to the bottom of the coffin, and they have already merged with the bottom of the coffin."
"So we tried everything we could, but we didn't pick it up for a long time."
"You say, can such a glass jade piece that is connected to the bottom of the coffin be a jade robe?"
Kong Jianwen walked with a figure-eight step and said with a smile: "Although it is said that in Liu He's main coffin room, there is room for the yellow intestine inscription."
"But in the end, he didn't make his own decisions, and used the yellow intestine puzzle for himself."
"This shows that Liu He finally decided to wait for the emperor's gift, rather than privately create any funeral goods that transgress the system."
"Whether it's a yellow intestine or a golden jade robe, these things have never been made by private individuals, they were made in the Shaofu of the Western Han Emperor, and then given to the princes and princes."
"Since Liu He didn't use the yellow intestine inscription himself, then he couldn't make a jade robe privately."
"Even if it was to use a glass jade piece to play a side ball, he wouldn't do it."
"After all, although Liu He is no longer afraid of death, he also knows that he can't have a good result in his life."
"But he still has descendants."
"If he really transgresses the system, and if the emperor does not allow it, he will make golden jade clothes without permission, and he will die this time, and future generations will also suffer."
"It may even be extinct because of this."
"Although, after Liu He's death, the Marquis of Haiyang was abolished, but later, Emperor Xuan of Han's son, Emperor Yuan of Han, didn't he also restore the title to the Marquis of Haidu!"
"That's the good thing about deference!"
