160 Bronze as a mirror
Lin Yi smiled and stepped into the Qingtiao Stone Gate again.
The chill from the shop inside was gone.
The twelve dead bodies were all in their places, and stood around the coffin.
The coffin was still in its original position, and Wukong was squatting on the top of the coffin at the moment, playing with the bronze mirror that was still hanging in the air just now.
Lin Yi whistled.
Wukong looked back at him, excited, and ran towards him with the mirror, jumping on his shoulder with a "whoosh".
The eyes have also returned to the clarity they had before.
"Tut-tut, weird! It's simply breathtaking! It's just a matter of turning around, and it's as if it didn't happen. Could it be that what we just saw was an illusion? ”
Qian Sheng held up the flashlight, and his mouth was amazed.
Wang Qiang patted Qian Sheng's shoulder and said:
"You call it rare and strange, there are many evil things in this underground, and you can see it!"
Qian Sheng nodded and looked around.
After experiencing the scene just now, now seeing these dried corpses again, he really doesn't have the same sense of fear as before.
Wang Qiang pointed to Wukong holding the bronze mirror in his hand and asked:
"That's what you're talking about?"
Lin Yi nodded, reached out to take the bronze mirror, and turned on the flashlight to observe back and forth.
At a glance at the early Tang Dynasty, it is round, and the decoration on the back is a five-petal peach blossom dragon pattern, and a little patina has been born on the front.
"Money shopkeeper, palm eyes!"
Lin Yi handed the bronze mirror to Qian Sheng.
Qian Sheng carefully took the bronze mirror, first put it under his nose and sniffed it.
"The taste is right, something that opens the door, the early Tang Dynasty."
After looking at the mirror, I turned over and looked at the decoration behind me, and couldn't help but gasp.
"Master Lin, this mirror. Amazing! ”
Wang Qiang was the first to come up.
"What's the matter, tell me about it."
Qian Sheng pointed to the ornament on it.
"Then I'll get an axe, first of all, this dragon pattern is a special royal ornament, and others use it to trespass. Secondly, this thing is an object of the early Tang Dynasty, it stands to reason that Xuanzong can be called the early Tang Dynasty before, but the orthodox early Tang Dynasty in our eyes is nothing more than Gaozu, Taizong, Gaozong, and Zhongzong.
And among these four, the one who likes peach blossoms the most, only Taizong is also!
Legend has it that when Empress Wende's eldest grandson made "Spring Outing Song", there was a sentence in it: "The new peach on the well steals the complexion, and the tender willow on the eaves learns to be light", Taizong listened to it and praised the beauty, so he ordered the skilled craftsmen to make a batch of royal special utensils with the theme of "peach blossoms".
Naturally, this bronze mirror is indispensable. ”
Wang Qiang didn't understand anything else, but he heard the origin of the bronze mirror, and immediately smiled and said:
"Shopkeeper Qian, you said that this bronze mirror may be an object used by Tang Taizong? Quick, let me touch it. ”
Qian Sheng handed it over with both hands, Wang Qiang took it and played with it carefully.
"Don't say it, the things that the emperor has coiled up have different feelings when they get started."
Qian Sheng immediately stretched out his thumb.
"Look, if I don't say that Wang Ye has Huigen, I will know how good things are when I get started."
"Eh, look, how can there be words down here?"
Wang Qiang pointed to the side of the bronze mirror and said to the two of them.
"Where? I didn't even look at it just now. ”
As he spoke, Qian Sheng took the bronze mirror again.
"Tai Chi. Oh, two masters, what kind of luck have we bumped, and we can come across such a priceless treasure! ”
Qian Sheng's appearance was very excited, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
"I said money shopkeeper, don't shake it, tell me, what the hell is this thing about!"
"Wait a minute."
As he spoke, Qian Sheng took out a piece of muntjac skin from his bag and carefully held the bronze mirror in his hand.
"The Tang Dynasty has built three major palaces in Xijing, the most famous is the 'Daming Palace', followed by the 'Xingqing Palace', and finally the 'Taiji Palace'.
The word Tai Chi on this mirror is taken from here.
At the beginning, Taizong launched a mutiny at the north gate of this Taiji Palace, that is, Xuanwu Gate.
In the end, he also ascended the throne and sat in this Taiji Palace, ascended to the great treasure, and met the ministers in the Taiji Hall on weekdays.
The two of you must have also heard that Taizong once said such a sentence in "Zhenguan Political Leaders": Husband, with copper as a mirror, can be dressed properly; With the ancient as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; With people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses. Wei Zheng is gone, and I am dead! ”
Lin Yi nodded, and Wang Qiang also nodded on the side.
According to legend, after Wei Zheng's death, Taizong was very sad, and Empress Changsun took out the bronze mirror in the dormitory with Taizong and hung it in the Taiji Palace, so as to remind Taizong at all times to be a generation of Ming Jun.
The official title of this thing should be: Taizong Zhengguan Mirror! ”
"You mean, this mirror is the mirror that Empress Changsun used to wake up Taizong?"
"It's a big possibility! In many rare books of later generations, this thing is mentioned, but later after Gaozong ascended the throne, he moved to Daming Palace to live, and Taiji Palace was no longer used.
And you look at the word Tai Chi, it is obviously engraved later, it should be to distinguish it from the bronze mirrors in other palaces, and at the same time, it is also convenient for the palace people not to be confused. ”
"The heavy treasure in the deep palace of the Tang Dynasty shouldn't be taken directly to Zhaoling by Taizong for burial, how can it appear in the tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty?"
This is Lin Yi's biggest doubt at present.
It even surpasses the dress of Mrs. Jiang in front of him.
"I don't know about this, I can only say that this place is indeed a bit evil."
"Money shopkeeper, if this mirror is sold, how much will it be worth?"
Wang Qiang was not interested in the origin of the bronze mirror, and asked the price when he opened his mouth.
"Priceless! If you really meet a buyer who knows the goods, you have to take it all the money. ”
When Wang Qiang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Then didn't we send it? It's good stuff again! ”
The expression on Lin Yi's face was indifferent.
"Money shopkeeper, I haven't seen a few fragments of the copper tripod I collected just now, right? Take it out and take a look. ”
Qian Sheng nodded, took out a bag from his bag, and arranged the fragments in turn.
Lin Yi turned on the flashlight and studied the "golden text" on it.
"Uncle Dan's composition, take Qingzhou Ding as a sacrifice."
Uncle Dan!
Qingzhou Ding!
Lin Yi muttered these two names in his mouth.
The hairs on Qian Sheng's arms stood on end, and his face suddenly tightened.
"This Uncle Dan, isn't it Zhou Gong Ji Dan? Isn't this Qingzhou Ding one of the nine tripods? ”
"King Wu died early, his son King Cheng was young, Zhou Gong Ji Dan was regent, Lu Shang died, Zhou Gong Dan took Zhou Tianzi and a group of people surnamed Jiang to pay tribute.
Specially took out the Qingzhou Ding, which represents the boundary of Qi and one of the nine tripods, as a sacrificial thing to accompany the funeral! ”
Lin Yi and Qian Sheng glanced at each other.
Counting the previous "ladder" on the "ladder" of the exquisite country, after seeing the words "Liangzhou Ding", I once again saw the traces of "Yuwang Jiuding", which symbolizes the co-lord of the world and the orthodoxy of imperial power.
The humble author sets a bowl and asks for a ticket!
