After the founding of the country, Zhao Tuo immediately began to govern the kingdom. He implemented the absolute closed-door autonomy method in South Vietnam to avoid the war and turmoil in the Central Plains. He implemented the national policy of "harmonizing Baiyue" in the territory, which was conducive to the development of Lingnan.
On the one hand, he imitated the Qin system and established a feudal kingdom in Lingnan with centralized power and divided counties.
But he did not imitate the Qin Dynasty in indiscriminate tyranny, but effectively protected the political, economic and cultural traditions of immigrants from the Central Plains, introduced advanced technology from the Central Plains, and promoted the development of productivity in Lingnan.
On the other hand, he advocated the mixing of Han and Yue, respected the customs of the Yue people, and appointed the leaders of the Yue people as important ministers of the country. The governance of South Vietnam King Zhao Tuo was quite effective, making the originally relatively backward South Vietnam gradually become stronger.
The first Nantian King in the history of Yangcheng once said proudly: "I live in a land of hundreds of cities, thousands of miles from east to west, north to south, and have more than a million armors."
Although this is a boast, it also reflects that the Kingdom of South Vietnam did have a certain strength at that time.
Zhao Tuo became the first all-powerful person in the history of ancient Lingnan. During his sixty-seven years in office, he brought the Kingdom of Nanyue to its peak.
The next few kings were not as good as Zhao Tuo, which led to the weakening of the Nanyue Kingdom. It was eventually destroyed by the five-pronged army sent by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Panyu City was also set on fire by Han soldiers.
From its founding in 204 BC to its destruction by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in 111 BC, the Nanyue Kingdom lasted for ninety-three years under the Five Emperors.
Han Kongque waited for Xu Jiachen to finish speaking before saying: "You are always talking about official history. You should also know that Zhao Tuo died in the fourth year of Jianyuan of the Han Dynasty (137 BC). The Lingnan area is close to the South China Sea, and the capital Panyu is a local specialty at home and abroad.
The collection of production areas was full of treasures. When Zhao Tuo was alive, he collected many rare treasures for his own enjoyment, and after his death, he brought them to the mausoleum.
Although the King of Nanyue dominated Lingnan and had unlimited power during his lifetime, the Nanyue Kingdom was a local separatist regime after all. The country's land area and population were about the same as a large county in the Han Dynasty.
After Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, due to the newly established political power, the treasury was empty, the national power was limited, and the northern Xinjiang was infested by the Xiongnu. Therefore, it was beyond his reach and temporarily unable to conquer the south, so he could only recognize the small court of Nanyue against his will.
However, there are no two days in the sky and no two kings in the country. The Nanyue Kingdom has always been a serious problem for the Han Dynasty to unify Lingnan. Zhao Tuo, who has rich experience, has long seen this. The Han and the Vietnamese are only using each other to coexist, and one day they will fight against each other.
See.
Moreover, the development of the situation is that the Han Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, while the Nanyue Kingdom is getting weaker and weaker. Therefore, after Zhao Tuo's death, it was impossible to build his own mausoleum very grand and huge with obvious goals.
The King of Nanyue was deeply afraid that in the future the mausoleum would be robbed and even dumped in the wilderness like Qin Shihuang's Lishan Imperial Mausoleum, so he racked his brains to arrange his funeral arrangements very carefully and hide the tomb in a very mysterious way."
Xu Jiachen said: "Of course I know this. According to historical records, when he was buried, there was 'mostly suspicion'. The hearses left the four gates of Panyu City. At that time, no one knew where the coffin containing Zhao Tuo's body was actually buried.
.”
Han Kongque said: "You have always heard of it, does anyone know the whereabouts of the ancient tomb?"
"Does anyone know the whereabouts of the ancient tomb? Isn't this impossible? If they knew, they wouldn't be able to find Zhao Tuo's tomb even now!"
Han Kongque said: "During the Three Kingdoms period, Yangcheng belonged to the Wu Kingdom. Sun Quan, king of Wu, heard ancient rumors that Zhao Tuo, the king of South Vietnam, buried many treasures in the tomb three hundred years ago, so he ignored the Cao Wei group at that time and was eager to swallow them up.
Due to the dangerous situation in Soochow, General Lu Yu was sent with thousands of soldiers to Guangzhou to dig the tomb of the Nanyue King.
Following Sun Quan's orders, they went to Lingnan to plunder treasures with great fanfare. They did all kinds of evil and dug three feet into the ground, almost removing a piece of land from all the hills and mountains near Yangcheng. In the end, they only dug up the tomb of Zhao Yingqi, the third generation of Nanyue King, and gained a lot.
treasure."
Xu Jiachen said: "I really didn't know about this, but it was mentioned in the documents given to me by the people in Yangcheng that their worries were indeed good. You really focused on the only few large tombs in Yangcheng."
Han Kongque smiled bitterly and said: "Now those people in the country are on guard against me as a thief? However, this reassures them that I will not go to their place if it is not necessary."
"So it's necessary for you to go to Zhao Tuo's tomb?" Xu Jiachen asked.
Han Kongque said: "It is necessary to go, but I don't dare to go, so I have been delaying it until now."
"Don't you dare to go?" Xu Jiachen looked at Han Peacock and found that Han Peacock's face was full of solemnity and he was not joking at all.
Han Kongque said to Xu Jiachen: "Sun Quan can be said to be the first emperor to dig and rob tombs. He was earlier than Cao Cao's Mojin Xiaowei. It is said that after the tomb of the third generation of Yue King was dug out, some soldiers at that time were dissatisfied.
The people in Lingnan died of malaria, but the local Yue people said that the soldiers were bewitched by the underground ghost of the Nanyue King. The ghost made the tomb robbers miserable. Do you have any feelings after hearing this? "
"Ghost? Evil magic?" Xu Jiachen also began to smile bitterly. He didn't know what to say about these ancient things now.
"Maybe that's why the first and second generation Nanyue royal tombs with richer burials and larger tombs were spared from the catastrophe." Han Kongque said meaningfully.
Since Sun Quan, the stars have changed. As time goes by, the mysterious treasure of the Nanyue King becomes more and more attractive.
Therefore, many people in the past dynasties have dreamed of searching for the treasure of the King of Nanyue. They followed in the footsteps of Sun Quan and based on some clues, traveled all over the hills and mountains ranging from Jilonggang in the south to Tianjinggang and Yangcheng in the north.
, trying to find this coveted property in Zhao Tuo's tomb, some hills with many legends have become the focus of thieves one after another.
The result is just fishing for the moon in the water, but it leaves behind many anecdotes, adding a lot of mystery to the tomb of the Nanyue King, making it a fascinating and confusing historical mystery of Yangcheng.
More than twenty years ago, when the trend of "human body superpowers" became more and more popular, a "supernormal person" in Yangcheng volunteered to use his magical powers to assist the cultural relics department in searching for the treasure of the King of Nanyue, but nothing happened in the end.
.
It can be said with certainty that at that time, the Nanyue King Zhao Tuo, who was racking his brains, spent a lot of money and took extremely strict measures to build his permanent palace. He was already prepared to fight a protracted treasure war with future generations.
Preparation for the battle.
In the past fifty years, with the development of modern archeology, archaeologists in Yangcheng have also listed Zhao Tuo's mausoleum as a key cultural relic investigation object.
They went through many hardships and found hundreds of tombs from the Nanyue Kingdom period in Yangcheng, and unearthed many precious cultural relics, which provided important new information for the study of the history of the South Vietnam nation.
Regrettably, they are all the tombs of Nanyue officials or civilians, and the mysterious Zhao Tuo tomb is still missing.
"Maybe?" Xu Jiachen is not that easy to fool.
Han Kongque said: "Actually, it is very easy to find the tomb of Zhao Tuo. It is not as difficult as you always imagined, but the difficulty lies in how to dig it out. According to the tomb system of the Han Dynasty, it will be inhabited by the same clan as the South Vietnamese.
Therefore, it is not difficult to speculate that Zhao Tuo's mausoleum is also near Yangcheng, and the most likely place is at the foot of Yuexiu Mountain.
Although this is just a speculation, I think many people have this judgment. Although so far, Zhao Tuo, the most powerful Nantian King in the ancient history of Lingnan, still enjoys countless treasures and is in the extremely mysterious world.
He is sleeping peacefully in the mausoleum, but this is not because his mausoleum is so secretive, but because his anti-theft methods are comparable to those of Emperor Qin, so he can rest peacefully until now."
"Since you know where Zhao Tuo's tomb is, then tell the Yangcheng authorities. If possible, you can go there. I think it will not be difficult for you." Xu Jiachen said.
Han Kongque said with a wry smile: "In June 1983, archaeologists discovered a large stone chamber tomb from the Nanyue Kingdom in Xianggang in the north of Yangcheng. This tomb was carved into a mountain and was hidden twenty meters deep in the heart of Xianggang. The tomb's
The owner of the tomb is Zhao Wei, the grandson of Zhao Tuo, King Wen of South Vietnam.
More than 1,000 pieces (sets) of precious cultural relics were unearthed from the tomb, including the "Emperor Wen's Seal," the Dragon-Newton Gold Seal, and so on. It is known as one of the five major new archaeological discoveries in China in recent years. Hearing this, do you have anything to say?
"
"This shows that there is no so-called ghost at all." Xu Jiachen said.
Han Kongque said: "This inference of yours is not comprehensive or accurate. I have just said that the Nanyue people also have the custom of living together and being buried together. If you have found the tomb of Zhao Tuo's grandson, what about other people?"
Are tombs still that hard to find?
Have you forgotten Sun Quan? The first person who wanted to find Zhao Tuo's tomb was Sun Quan, the emperor of the Eastern Wu Dynasty. They discovered the tomb of Zhao Tuo's great-grandson Zhao Yingqi and took away the gold-engraved jade clothes, 36 jade seals, gold seals and 3 copper handfuls.
Sword, but nothing was found in Zhao Tuo's tomb.
At this time, it was only more than 300 years after Zhao Tuo's death. Why was there no trace of the tomb? Even if he couldn't discover Zhao Tuo's tomb, couldn't they also discover the tomb of South Vietnam King Wen Zhao Mei, which we can easily discover?
I don’t believe this at all. If they found out, why do you think they gave up in the end? Because they were attacked by ghosts or other accidents, and they couldn’t survive anyway.”
"It's not working? What's not working?" Xu Jiachen said.
Han Kongque said: "There are irresistible factors. Otherwise, with the madness of those people at that time, how could they have let Zhao Quan's tomb go? Is Zhao Quan's tomb difficult to find?"
Han Kongque's words left Xu Jiachen speechless. Zhao Quan's tomb is indeed not difficult to find.
Because Zhao Tuo lived too long, all his sons died, and the throne left behind had to be inherited by his grandson Zhao Quan (mò).
After Zhao Quan succeeded to the throne, he was known as the "Wen Emperor of South Vietnam" in history. Zhao Quan was the second generation king of South Vietnam. He only reigned for more than ten years and died of illness in 122 BC. His burial place was never known to future generations, and even the tomb robbers did not find out.
.
But in the 1980s, Zhao Quan's tomb was accidentally discovered, and it was still intact.
