Zhuang Rui smiled, and while gathering the dead branches he collected and lighting them on fire, he said: "Hey, there are no ancient Mongolian ghosts for thousands of years, but the terrain here is undulating and the hills are continuous, like a dragon vein. Maybe
It contains the tombs of Mongol emperors..."
"Come on, Brother Zhuang, even if there is one, you can't find it. Didn't I tell you that the burial habits of the Mongolians are so unique that even their descendants can't find it, let alone you..."
Peng Fei curled his lips and disagreed with Zhuang Rui's words. Although he knew nothing about archeology, he had been hanging out with Zhuang Rui and Dr. Ren during this period, and he also learned some common sense under the influence of his ears and eyes.
For example, in the tombs of the Mongolian emperors, in addition to being buried very deep, even the craftsmen who were working on the construction would be silenced. That's not all. The soldiers who silenced the craftsmen would also commit suicide after returning to the ground.
In this way, not only will the tomb robbers be able to stop thinking about it, but even their descendants will not be able to figure out the location of their ancestors' tombs, and can only know a rough direction.
So Peng Fei sneered at Zhuang Rui's words. If Zhuang Rui could find him like this, then the tomb robbers in the past thousand years would really die of shame.
"Peng Fei, don't you believe it? When did you miss Brother Zhuang's feelings?"
Zhuang Rui became a little anxious after hearing Peng Fei's words. After he discovered the tomb but found it difficult to excavate it, he felt really aggrieved and panicked. That's why he said this to Peng Fei, but unexpectedly he was warm to his face.
He was so cold-hearted that this guy ignored him at all.
"Really? Brother Zhuang, where is this tomb? I heard that Genghis Khan destroyed Song Dynasty, gold and Xixia, and looted a lot of gold and silver treasures..."
When Peng Fei saw Zhuang Rui's serious face, he also became serious, but what he said was not so reliable, making Zhuang Rui a little bit dumbfounded.
"Okay, talking about archeology with your kid is just playing harp to a cow. Let me tell you, the Song Dynasty was not destroyed by Genghis Khan, but by his grandson. Go ahead and mess with your rabbit..."
Zhuang Rui waved his hand to Peng Fei angrily, but turned around and fell into deep thought. Although Peng Fei's words were ridiculously wrong, they reminded Zhuang Rui.
In 1206 AD, Genghis Khan established the Mongol Khanate at the source of the Onan River. After the establishment of the Mongolian State, it continued to launch aggressive wars to expand its territory.
In 1218 AD, Genghis Khan destroyed the Western Liao Dynasty. In 1219 AD, he conquered Khwarezm in Central Asia and attacked all the way to the Volga River Basin in Eastern Europe. He returned eastward in 1225 and destroyed the Western Xia Dynasty in 1227. However, Genghis Khan also died during the expedition against the Western Xia Dynasty.
However, the time when the Mongols destroyed the Song Dynasty was in 1276 AD. It was not until 1279 that the remaining forces of the Song Dynasty were eliminated and China was unified.
However, this also raises a question, that is, the tomb that Zhuang Rui just guessed is most likely not that of Genghis Khan, but the mausoleum of his third son, Bo Erji Jin. Wokuotai.
When you see this, you may not understand that when the Song Dynasty was destroyed in 1276, Hui Wokuotai was already dead, but Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty. This tomb should belong to Kublai Khan anyway.
But there was a turning point in history that everyone didn't know, that is, the imperial seal was not passed down in the Southern Song Dynasty, but in the first year of Jingkang of the Song Dynasty, when the Jin soldiers broke through Bianliang and the two emperors Huiqin were plundered, "
"The Seal of the State" has been stolen by the Kingdom of Jin.
The person who led the army to destroy the gold was exactly what Genghis Khan's third son Ogedai did when he was in power.
Speaking of which, it is necessary to trace the hardships that the Chuanguo Jade Seal has experienced over the thousands of years from its birth to its disappearance.
Friends all know that the Chuanguo Jade Seal, also known as the Chuanguo Seal, is the seal passed down by emperors after the Qin Dynasty. It was carved from the Heshi Bi in the historical allusion of "Returning the Complete Bibi to Zhao".
As the most important token of "imperial power is divinely authorized, orthodox and legal", after the Qin Dynasty, emperors of all dynasties took this seal as a sign of fulfillment and regarded it as an important weapon of the country.
The emperors who obtained the jade seal passed down to their country symbolized their "order from heaven", while losing it showed that their "energy has been exhausted" and the whole world can defeat it. Anyone who ascends to the throne without this seal will be ridiculed as a "blank plate"
"Emperor" appears to be lacking in confidence and is despised by the world.
This prompted people who wanted great treasures to fight for it, causing the jade seal to be passed down to the country to change its owner many times. In 207 BC, when Pei Gong Liu Bang marched to Bashang, Prince Qin Ying knelt down and held the jade seal and presented it to the left side of Xianyang Road.
After his death, the imperial seal passed down to Liu Han.
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang, a relative of the Han Dynasty, usurped power. When the Han Emperor was young, the imperial seal was hidden in the Empress Dowager's house in Changle Palace. Wang Mang sent his brother Wang Shun to retrieve it, but the Empress Dowager refused to comply. She took out the imperial seal and threw it to the ground in anger.
He dropped a corner.
When Wang Mang saw that the jade seal was damaged, he sighed repeatedly and hurriedly hired a skilled craftsman to repair it. The craftsman was also smart and came up with a strange trick of inlaying the missing corners with gold. After the repair, it became even more dazzling, so he called it "Jade Seal inlaid with Gold".
", this is the origin of "gold inlaid with jade".
Later, Wang Mang was defeated and killed, and the Imperial Guards School Lieutenant Gongbin had to pass on the national seal and present it to Gengshi Emperor Liu Xuan.
In the third year of the Gengshi Emperor Liu Xuan, the Red Eyebrow Army killed Liu Xuan and established Liu Penzi. Later, Liu Penzi defeated Yiyang and handed over the imperial seal to Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the eunuchs had exclusive power. In the sixth year of Emperor Ling's Xiping,
Yuan Shao entered the palace to kill the eunuchs, Duan Gui fled with the emperor, and the imperial seal disappeared for the first time.
At the time of Emperor Xian, Dong Zhuo was in rebellion. Sun Jian led his army to invade Luoyang. At midnight on a certain day, the soldiers saw colorful clouds coming from a well in the Zhen Palace in the south of the city.
What is hidden is the jade seal passed down from the country.
If Sun Jian found the treasure, he secretly hid it in his wife Wu's house. Later, Yuan Shu arrested the Wu family and seized the seal. Yuan Shu died. Xu Juan, the governor of Jingzhou, brought the seal to Xuchang.
Returned to the Han Dynasty.
In the first year of Emperor Yankang of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian was forced to abdicate. Cao Pi established the Wei Dynasty and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Huangchu. Cao Pi ordered someone to carve the official inscription "Wei Dynasty accepts the national seal of the Han Dynasty" on the shoulder of the imperial seal to prove that he was not "usurping the Han".
Yes, it’s actually trying to cover up.
However, the Wei Dynasty did not spread for long. In the second year of Xianxi reign of Emperor Yuan of Wei Dynasty, Cao Huan, minister Sima Yan followed the same example and was called Emperor Wu of Jin. He changed the name to Taishi of Yuan Dynasty and passed the imperial seal to Jin Dynasty.
In the following years, the fate of the jade seal of the state was twists and turns. In the fifth year of Jin Yongjia, the former Zhao Liu Cong captured Jin Huai Emperor Sima Chi, and the seal was returned to the former Zhao. Nineteen years later, the latter Zhao Shile destroyed the former Zhao and obtained the seal. It was even more ingenious.
On the right side, there is an additional engraving of "Shishi of Destiny".
During the Southern Dynasties, the Chuanguo Xi passed through the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen dynasties. The Sui Dynasty unified China and brought the Chuanguo Seal into the Sui Palace. However, after Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was killed in Jiangdu (now Yangzhou), Empress Xiao took it with her.
Prince Yuande fled to the Mobei Turks carrying the imperial seal.
In the early Tang Dynasty, Taizong Li Shimin had no jade seal to pass down the country, so he carved several jade "seals" such as "Mate Bao" and "Dingming Bao" to comfort himself. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing led his army to attack the Turks. In the same year, Empress Xiao and Prince Yuande betrayed each other.
The Turks returned to the Central Plains, and the imperial seal passed down to Li Tang. Taizong Longyan was delighted.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world was in chaos and heroes were everywhere. Zhu Quanzhong deposed Emperor Ai of the Tang Dynasty and seized the Chuanguo Seal. Shi Jingtang led the Khitan army to Luoyang. The last emperor Li Congke carried the Chuanguo Seal in his arms and climbed to the Xuanwu Tower to burn himself. As a result, the Chuanguo Seal disappeared for the second time.
in the world.
During the reign of Emperor Zhezong of the Northern Song Dynasty, a farmer found this jade seal in the ruins of Li Congke and sent it to the court. After thirteen academics conducted extensive research based on records from previous dynasties, they determined that it was the imperial seal made by the First Emperor. The imperial seal was reappeared in
World.
However, the two emperors of Huiqin were plundered, and the Chuanguo Jade Seal was returned to the Jin Dynasty. Until the Jin Dynasty was destroyed by the Mongols, the Chuanguo Jade Seal never appeared again. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, "Chuanguo Jade Seal" appeared from time to time.
Noisy, but they are all echoed, and they are counterfeit products.
Therefore, later generations of archaeologists and historians all suspected that the imperial seal was used for burial by the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty. Only this nomadic people who enveloped the immortal world would not regard the imperial seal as a treasure of the Han people.
thing.
Unfortunately, the tomb of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty could not be found, and the whereabouts of the imperial seal became the biggest unsolved mystery in Chinese history.
Although Zhuang Rui has not yet been able to see the full picture of the Fang Yuxi, his heart is already filled with ups and downs, and he cannot control himself. Maybe the jade seal that has been missing for thousands of years is really in this mausoleum!
…
"Brother Zhuang, Brother Zhuang, what's wrong? The fire has burned your hands, but you don't feel any pain?"
Just when Zhuang Rui was deep in thought, Peng Fei's voice suddenly came to his ears. Zhuang Rui woke up suddenly, only to find that the flames had really licked the back of his hand, and he quickly retracted his hand.
After calming down, Zhuang Rui looked at Peng Fei, who was confused, and said nonsense: "The old Mongolian ghost gave me another dream, saying that there are the tombs of their ancestors here, Peng Fei, I will survey around here tomorrow."
one time……"
Peng Fei thought Zhuang Rui was joking with him, and said with a smile: "Damn, Brother Zhuang, you can't scare me, let alone the old Mongolian ghost, even if Genghis Khan is reborn, I won't be afraid of him..."
"Okay, I'm hungry, let's eat first..."
Zhuang Rui shook his head noncommittally and asked Peng Fei to put the washed and skinned rabbit on the bonfire. After a while, the aroma filled his nostrils.
After eating the roast rabbit, Zhuang Rui said to Peng Fei: "I'm going to sleep alone for half the night. You go to sleep first. I'll wake you up around 2 o'clock..."
Although large groups of wolves are rarely seen in the grasslands now, we still need to be on guard. Even if there are only three or five prairie wolves, they can still kill people while they are sleeping.
"Okay, Brother Zhuang, be careful..." Peng Fei didn't show any pretense, nodded and got into the tent, and soon the sound of snoring could be heard.
"It must be the imperial seal..."
Zhuang Rui waited until Peng Fei fell asleep, then sat cross-legged in front of the tent, released the spiritual energy in his eyes, and went straight to the coffin in the tomb.
"Damn, it's not a good thing to be able to see clearly..."
As soon as the spiritual energy entered the coffin, Zhuang Rui suddenly discovered that next to the jade seal, there was a human head that looked like a mummy.
