After discussion, the four of them decided to divide into two ways.

Wang Qiang and Qian Sheng drove to Sanqin, met with Yao Yiyan, and put the "Yangshi" back in place with their own hands.

Lin Yi and Bai Lu, as tourists, first stepped on the spot near the tomb of the Xixia King in Xingqing Mansion to inquire about the news.

It used to be the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom, located in the Hetao area, and was the famous "land of fish and rice" in the northwest.

The predecessor of the Dangxiang people was the Qiang people who had lived in the Xichuan Basin for a long time, and later after the Xianbei people of Tuyuhun and the Qiang people were combined, a new ethnic group was slowly formed.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Li Sigong, the leader of the party Xiang Tuoba, was awarded the title of the envoy of the Dingyan Army Festival for his meritorious service in pacifying Huangchao, and was given the land of the five states and the title of "Xia Guogong", and later the name of the country in Western Xia also came from this.

The party was subordinate to the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty.

After the land of Wuzhou was annexed by the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Jiqian moved out to start a business, and was named King Xia by the Liao Dynasty in 990. Successively occupied the states of the Hexi Corridor.

Until 1038, Li Yuanhao called the emperor and founded the country, and the history was called "Western Xia".

At this time, the Northern Song Dynasty's control over the Western Xia region was already in name only.

The two sides went through three major wars, all of which ended in the victory of the Western Xia.

Li Yuanhao, as a generation of heroes, in order to balance the relationship between Western Xia and Liao and Song, Yang Feng Yin violated it, mediated between it, and met the source left and right.

While claiming to be a vassal to the Northern Song Dynasty, he encroached on the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, and was still reconciling with Liao, maintaining the three-legged momentum at that time.

After the death of Li Yuanhao, the national strength of the Western Xia began to decline sharply, and after the rise of the Jin State, it defeated the Liao and Song successively, and the Western Xia was not spared, and could only be in a corner of peace, and was finally trampled under the feet of the iron hooves of the Mongolian cavalry.

From Li Sigong's appointment as the envoy of the Dingyan Army, the Li regime lasted for a total of 346 years;

If it is counted according to the beginning of Li Yuanhao's establishment of the Western Xia Kingdom, this minority dynasty that dominates one side and occupies the advantage of the Hetao region has only existed for 189 years.

In less than 200 years, the Western Xia Kingdom can be regarded as leaving a strong mark in history.

After the four of them left Wuwei, they parted ways.

Wang Qiang and Qian Sheng went all the way to the east, and Lin Yi and Bai Lu rented a car all the way along the provincial border, and then went east and then north to Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Ning Province.

This is the location of the former capital of the Western Xia Kingdom, and there are still a large number of ruins of the tombs of the Western Xia kings.

The two walked around the neighborhood, found a nearby hotel to live in, rested for two days first, and sorted out the information at hand by the way to do homework.

After this trip to Ganlong, they came to Linxing again almost non-stop.

Now whether you turn on the TV or take out your mobile phone, all platforms are discussing that under the Wuwei Tengger Desert, a Tibetan soldier cave during the Three Kingdoms period was discovered, and two passages were also discovered.

One of them actually leads all the way to Outer Mongolia, and there are underground fortifications of devil soldiers.

The most explosive news is that the "fossilized ape-man skull", which has been lost for nearly a century, has been recovered.

"Regret it?"

Bai Lu pointed to the TV screen where Jin Pengfei, Xiao Liu, Lao Wei and Wu Jingshan were receiving awards and interviews.

"Regrets? Do you look like a person who regrets it? I'm annoyed when I see this kind of scene now, and I don't want to join in the excitement at all. ”

"And you still watch?"

Lin Yi suddenly realized that this girl had something to say.

Immediately diverted the topic:

"I saw how Lao Wei recovered, and yesterday Team Qiao sent me a message to ask about Lao Wei's situation, and said that when he was busy with the matter at hand, he would come and see it in person."

As he spoke, Lin Yi hurriedly pressed the remote control and switched to other channels.

Bai Lu smiled, held up her phone and shook it at him.

"The ticket for the Xixia Tomb has been set, the tour guide has also made an appointment, and then you will swipe your ID card to enter the park, the time is half past two in the afternoon, let's go downstairs for lunch and set off."

Lin Yi snorted and put on a cold-proof suit.

"I'll go down to the hot car first, and we'll see you in the parking lot when you pack up."

Bai Lu waved at him, and Lin Yi turned around and went out.

Xingqing Mansion is a gathering place for Hui people, and the food around it is mainly beef, mutton and pasta.

Lin Yi's appetite for no meat and no joy is like heaven when he arrives here.

After eating and drinking, the two drove to the scenic spot of the Xixia Tomb.

It is now a national 4A-level scenic spot, and those sealed mounds standing on the ground have witnessed the rise and fall of this minority dynasty.

Today is a working day, and it is the off-season for tourism, so there are fewer tourists, except for some senior groups, there are only two young people.

Check in to enter the park, contact the tour guide to explain and visit the tomb of the Western Xia Dynasty with the reputation of "Oriental Pyramid".

The tour guide is a girl in her early twenties, and when she saw that her badge said "Li Ling", he called her Director Li directly.

Although he is young, he speaks clearly, and his Mandarin is standard, and there is no difference between the front and back nasal sounds that are common in the northwest.

As soon as I inquired, I learned that I was a broadcaster and host, just in time for the winter vacation, and I came here to be a commentator, which is part of the social practice during the holiday.

"In 1277 AD, Li Hui, the late lord of Western Xia, walked out of the gate of Zhongxingfu and surrendered to the Mongols, and Western Xia was declared extinct.

The years have erased the majesty of the former Great Xia Kingdom, and only the "lonely" loess mounds at the foot of Helan Mountain remain, telling the history of Great Xia to passers-by.

And these "lonely" loess mounds are our protagonists today, the tombs of the Western Xia kings, known as the "Oriental Pyramids". ”

Lin Yi waved at him and interrupted her explanation.

"Director Li, since we are not official tour guides, we don't need to read according to the script, feel free."

He certainly had his thoughts when he said that.

Most of the surrounding elderly groups are low-cost groups, and the main focus is a "white prostitute".

I won't pay for a docent at all.

If they start talking, it won't take long, and there will definitely be a long list of people behind them, and there will be many people, and many things will not be able to be carried out.

When Li Ling heard this, she readily agreed.

"Great, I don't want to read these words for a long time, just a few words back and forth, so let's walk, watch, ask, so let's do it."

The two smiled and nodded, letting her lead the way ahead.

"It is said that this place was only discovered in the seventies of the last century, and no one paid attention to these dirt bags standing here before that?"

Li Ling shook her head.

"According to the information that the trainer and myself consulted, no one really noticed these loess bags before, because it is located at the foot of Helan Mountain, surrounded by herdsmen who are not literate and have little awareness of this historical and cultural monument.

Don't talk about them, if I wasn't here as a docent, I probably wouldn't have looked at these dirt buns from here.

Because we're part of the Northwest Loess Plateau, who would be interested in that? ”

"Then do you know how many times this Western Xia royal tomb has been stolen and excavated before?"

Li Ling blinked, trying to recall.

"As far as I know, there have been two times, one was when the Mongol iron cavalry broke through the Western Xia royal city and destroyed the Western Xia Kingdom, and even slaughtered the city and dug up the king's tomb;

Later, when it was the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Chang, the king of Qingjing of the Ming Dynasty, led people to dig the tomb of the Western Xia king again.
