Chapter 459 Auspiciousness from Heaven(1/2)
The villagers followed Han Hu to Geography. Everyone was stunned. Han Hu did not lie. Han Hu pointed at the black thing in the ground and said, "This is it, look at it!"
Following the direction of Han Hu's finger, about one meter underground, only a part of it was exposed, not the whole thing.
"Li Zheng! Is this something stupid?"
A villager asked nervously.
How could there be such a black lake in this crop field?
Other villagers were also a little nervous, and they took a few steps back unconsciously.
Lao Li was looking at it, and then said: "What are you afraid of? If you want to know what it is, just dig it out and have a look." Then he said to Han Hu: "Huzi, bring a few people to dig it out and have a look."
, see what it is."
Han Hu has served as a soldier and fought in wars. He is considered a courageous person in the village, but he is still a little timid instinctively. However, under Li Zheng's order, he still picked up the hoe.
"Dig!"
When Han Hu dug, the other villagers retreated to the outside, but their eyes were always fixed on the black thing.
Han Hu and three young men waved their hoes and cleaned up bit by bit. Gradually, the black thing revealed its true face.
"What did you think it was!"
"Isn't it just a stone tablet?"
"Stone tablet?"
Li Zheng stepped forward and took a look. It was indeed a stone tablet, but the stone tablet seemed to have been burned by fire, so what everyone saw before was a black lake.
"There is a pattern on it!" Han Hu knelt down and took a look, and said with some surprise: "This pattern is quite beautiful, like a cloud pattern."
"This is the back!" Han Tiecheng took a look and said angrily: "A few more people can help me dig it out and take a look."
"Dele!"
A few middle-aged villagers now knew it was a stone tablet, so they had nothing to be afraid of. Seven or eight villagers worked together to bury the stone tablet more than one meter deep, and after spending a stick of incense, they finally gave it to them.
Moved out.
The stele is about two meters high, less than one meter wide and three feet thick.
"Hey, this stone monument is quite tall."
"Yes, yes!"
"Under here...could there be an ancient tomb buried under here?" An older villager looked at the stone tablet and asked curiously, but after asking, he said with some doubts: "But I have never heard of it. In our village,
There are ancient tombs here."
"Uncle Li!" Han Hu said with a smile: "Just because we don't know, it doesn't mean that there were no problems here before. Maybe it was a very ancient time?"
"Yes, yes, Huzi is right." Uncle Li laughed.
While Uncle Li was talking to Han Hu, Han Tiecheng was busy tinkering with the stone tablet. The stone tablet had been severely burned and was buried in the ground. Even the pictures on the back had to be cleaned before they could be seen.<
/p>
Han Lizheng has no interest in the pictures on the back. He is one of the few scholars in the village and knows a lot, so he can become Lizheng.
At this moment, other villagers gathered around Han Tiecheng, watching him cleaning the dirt on the stone tablet little by little. They were all looking forward to it, and they all wanted to know the origin of the stone tablet.
"How was it?"
"Did you see it?"
Uncle Li also came over. Han Tiecheng cleared a place, but he frowned and said, "Old Li, come and see, what kind of writing is this?"
Han Tiecheng is a relatively well-educated person in the village. What he meant by this was that he couldn't recognize the words on it. This... Uncle Li came forward after hearing this and took a look.
"Big seal script?" He said, shaking his head again: "It doesn't look like big seal script."
"Could it be Qi Wen?" Suddenly a person asked tentatively.
When everyone turned around, they saw that this man was about twenty years old. His name was Zhang Shi. He didn't like to communicate with others, let alone his education. He had never read a book since he was a child.
Zhang Shidan said calmly: "Our place was the land of the Qi State in ancient times. Perhaps the words on this stone tablet were left by the Qi State."
As soon as Zhang Shi finished speaking, Han Tiecheng nodded slightly and said: "What Zhang Shi said makes sense. We old people have more or less heard about things in the past few hundred years, but we have never heard of them."
,What big names have been buried here in the past few hundred years?"
Uncle Li also echoed: "If it's something before the Qin Dynasty, we really don't know much." As he said, he looked at Han Tiecheng and said, "Li Zheng, the county captain is proficient in ancient books. Maybe he can understand this ancient text, why not
Send this stone tablet to the county government?"
When they heard that this stone tablet was from before the Qin Dynasty, the villagers were both surprised and confused.
If this stone tablet really dates from before the Qin Dynasty, then there might be a huge ancient tomb underneath. If it were dug up, the people of Citron Village would be in great trouble.
But——
They need to take the lead in this matter before they dare to do it. Otherwise, digging ancient tombs privately is a serious crime that requires beheading. According to the law of the Han Dynasty, those who dig graves will die.
"Okay!" Han Tiecheng agreed: "Huzi, go get a carriage immediately and send this stone tablet to the county now. This is a big deal."
Soon, Han Hu found a carriage, and with the concerted efforts of the villagers, he put the stone tablet on the carriage. Then, under the escort of more than ten villagers including Li Zheng, Han Tiecheng, Uncle Li, and Han Hu, he
Heading towards Qingyou County.
Three days later.
Qingyou County.
Within the county government.
The stone stele has been washed clean. It is a bit old because it was obviously burned by a fire, and there are still traces of being burned by the fire. However, the patterns on the stele are clearly visible.
County Lieutenant Jiang Tong walked around the stone tablet several times. All the officials of the county government and the villagers of Citron Village looked at him nervously, hoping that he could give an answer.
What is the origin of this stone tablet?
Is there any ancient tomb in Citron Village?
After a while, Jiang Tong said with great joy: "Great fortune, great fortune."
"Jiang County Lieutenant!" A middle-aged official seemed a little excited and asked: "Have you recognized the inscription on this stele?"
Everyone surrendered their eyes to Jiang Tong, and they also placed their hopes on him, because no one in Citron Village knew the words on the stone tablet, and basically no one in the county government knew them. Everyone felt that this
The stele is at least something from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
If it is something from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the writing on this stone tablet is most likely the writing of the Qi State at that time.
If it is really the writing of Qi State, perhaps only Jiang Tong in Qingyou County can understand it.
Why?
Because Jiang Tong’s ancestor gave birth to a very remarkable person.
The ancestor of Jiang Tong is none other than Jiang Shangshiye, who lived eight hundred years since the rise of the Zhou Dynasty.
A descendant of Jiang Taigong, he liked to study some things from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period since he was a child, and he also knew some ancient Qi characters.
"Jiang County Lieutenant, tell me!" Everyone was interested, because Jiang Tong had just said, great good fortune, great good fortune. If he didn't recognize the words on it, he would definitely not be so excited.
"Everyone!" Jiang Tong first looked at Han Tiecheng and other Citron Village villagers, and said with a look of envy and gratitude: "Not only do I know the words on this stele, but I also know who left this stele.
”
"Who is it?" Han Tiecheng became a little excited.
They originally just wanted to know the origin of this stone tablet, but now Jiang Tong said that he not only recognized the words on the stone tablet, but also knew who left it.
Seeing everyone looking forward to it, Jiang Tong said with a smile: "This stele was not left by anyone else. It was Jiang's ancestor Jiang Shang who was in the 800th year of the rise of the Zhou Dynasty."
Ha——
This shocked everyone.
This stele was left by Jiang Shang, the Grand Duke who helped the Zhou Dynasty destroy the Shang Dynasty.
"Jiang County Lieutenant, please don't lie." County Magistrate Chen Yao is impatient. Of course he was a little excited when he learned that the stone tablet was left by Jiang Ziya. He asked: "What does the text left by the Grand Duke on the tablet mean?"<
/p>
Knowing that the stone tablet was left by Jiang Ziya, everyone of course wants to know what Jiang Ziya wrote on the stone tablet.
Jiang Tong slightly raised his hand to Chen Yao, and then said with great joy: "County Lord, this is auspiciousness from heaven! Great auspiciousness!"
"Oh???" Chen Yao was suddenly shocked and asked: "Please tell me clearly from County Captain Jiang!"
Everyone looked at Jiang Tong expectantly.
"The Holy Ancestor continued the Han Dynasty for three times, and the Zen of Mount Tai lasted for thousands of years!"
Jiang Tong pointed at the stone tablet and read out the words on the stone tablet word by word, without reciting a word less or more. In the middle of the stone tablet were two rows of words, each with seven words, no more than one, and no less than the other.
After reading the fourteen characters in the middle, Jiang Tong pointed to the three small characters on the side and read: "Jiang Shangzi!"
When Jiang Tong finished reading the words on the stone tablet, everyone present was stunned.
The Holy Ancestor continued the Han Dynasty for three times, and he was enshrined in Mount Tai for thousands of years.
