[Heavyweight: Tang Dynasty embroidered and gold-embroidered skirt unearthed from Famen Temple. 】

[Wu Zetian's physical evidence adds new evidence. Is the embroidered gold embroidered skirt worn by Wu Zetian before his death? 】

[Expert: Experts are currently conducting DNA identification on the embroidered gold embroidered skirt. 】

Wu Zetian, a historical figure, can be said to have attracted countless people.

After Wu Zetian expelled the Jin Jian, this time added new physical evidence.

Although it has not been completely confirmed that this "embroidered and gold embroidered skirt" belongs to Wu Zetian.

But from a logical analysis, it is very likely that this embroidered and gold-embroidered skirt was worn by Wu Zetian before his death.

As for why.

one.

The Famen is a royal temple, and ordinary people are not allowed to make offerings.

Second.

Famen Temple is a Buddhist temple, and it is not allowed to worship women's items.

Then.

can break these two rules.

Only Wu Zetian.

Yes.

Even the empress, empress dowager, empress dowager...some people like this are impossible.

Only the empress who is the emperor can enjoy such a privilege.

When such news came out, it set off a craze for empresses again.

"I have a hunch that there must be Wu Zetian in history."

"Well, I feel the same way. Besides, I believe in Brother Fan."

"By the way, where did Brother Fan go?"

"I went to Famen Temple a few days ago, and I don't know where to go later."

"By the way, it seems that Brother Fan has joined an archaeological team."

"Not joining, Brother Fan is the leader of this archaeological team, and he is also the team leader."

"No, this is an official document. The search for the Qianling Mausoleum and the exploration of the tomb culture of the Tang Dynasty, the team leader Chen Fan, and the deputy team leader Zhou Zhiguo."

Some well-informed fans also took out the published documents above.

Seeing this document, everyone immediately understood.

"It's really embarrassing. What about the burial culture issue? It's obviously a tomb robbery, okay?"

"What about tomb robbery? Brother Fan's family has a certificate. Can a person with a certificate be called a robber?"

"Okay, archaeology, archaeology."

"It's not just archaeology, Brother Fan is going to dig the imperial tomb this time."

Yes.

The subject has been mentioned above.

What is this archaeological team going to do?

In addition to studying the tomb culture of the Tang Dynasty, he will also go to find the Qianling Mausoleum.

Qianling, that is the tomb of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi.

As soon as this kind of information came out, Chen Fan's fans felt as if they had been beaten to death.

……

"I like Brother Fan so much. He told us stories before. After telling the stories, he went to the imperial tomb to find evidence for us."

"Must Brother Fan, everyone, let Brother Fan live broadcast for us."

"Yeah, digging the imperial tomb, we haven't seen a live broadcast of digging the imperial tomb yet."

"It's so exciting, I really want to dig the imperial tomb with Brother Fan."

A crowd of fans cheered up, that was really scary.

This is not.

Chen Fan is inspecting various places in Xianyang these days, but a group of fans are constantly sending him messages frantically.

"Brother Fan, please go online, please start the live broadcast."

"Brother Fan, please, go online."

"Brother Fan, here comes a little gift..."

Looking at the messages privately sent by some netizens, Chen Fan also had a headache.

"Professor Zhou, take a break first."

Looking at the hill ahead, Chen Fan was a little tired from walking.

The last few days.

Chen Fan kept searching on the mountains near Xianyang.

However, even though he had determined the approximate location, Chen Fan was exhausted when he actually reached the vast mountain.

The mountains in reality are not like the mountains on the map. They are just a point, a location, and a name.

When you really come to the mountains, you will know how high the sky is and how big the earth is.

Chen Fan's back hurts from walking.

Unexpectedly, this archaeological work requires not only technical skills, but also a certain amount of physical strength.

otherwise.

Those with bad legs and feet might not be able to find it in this vast mountain.

"Row."

Professor Zhou also wiped off his sweat, and was going to rest for a while.

Chen Fan took a sip of water, then turned on the quick shake, and chose to start broadcasting.

"Wow, Brother Fan is online."

In an instant, a crowd of fans flocked.

"Brother Fan, Brother Fan, where are you?"

"I'm near Liangshan in Xianyang."

"Liangshan, what are you doing there?"

"This..."

"Is it digging the imperial tomb?"

"puff……"

Chen Fan sprayed water directly: "Who told you that?"

"Do you want to say more? The higher ups have already released public information."

"Uh……"

Chen Fan nodded helplessly.

The reality is that everyone is smart.

Although the information disclosed above is only about exploring the burial culture or something.

These are all excuses.

what to explore.

In fact, it is to prepare for digging the imperial tomb.

In fact.

This work has been done for decades.

If they don't do it, it will give a lot of tomb robbers a chance.

To know.

The business of tomb robbery has been popular for thousands of years, and it has never been lost.

Therefore, as an archaeologist, they must first find these large tombs before the tomb robbers, and then protect them.

but.

As for how to find out, this is actually a technical job.

Great China, millions of square kilometers of land, how do you find their tombs in such a large place?

"Okay, your guess is almost the same, but it's really not digging."

Anyway, Chen Fan nodded his head after the information was released.

Furthermore.

Now that it has been made public, it can be regarded as a protection for Qianling.

This also let everyone know that their archaeological team has been sent here.

If you find other tomb robbers or anyone suspicious, you can call the police immediately.

"Brother Fan, did you come to Liangshan this time to look for Qianling?"

"Yes."

"Qianling is the tomb of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi?"

"That's what the historical data said before, but I think the Qianling Mausoleum may be the joint burial tomb of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian."

"Joint burial tomb... Damn, two emperors are buried in one tomb."

"Although this is rare in history, the two are husband and wife. Moreover, the relationship between the two was relatively good when they were alive. It is not impossible for Wu Zetian to be buried in Qianling after his death."

"But Qianling seems to have never been discovered in history. Brother Fan, how did you find it?"

"Actually, it's not undiscovered."

Chen Fan said: "Several batches of tomb robbers visited the Qianling Mausoleum in history, but because the Qianling Mausoleum was built against a mountain, it is said that when Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty died, Yuan Tiangang specially asked Yuan Tiangang to choose the position of the mausoleum himself.

Although it is about Qianling.

But Qianling also involves history.

So when Chen Fan talked about Qianling, everyone in the live broadcast room listened with gusto.

of course.

The staff of the entire archaeological team also surrounded Chen Fan at this time.

The knowledge Chen Fan talked about was something they had never learned before.

Especially those students, a lot of archaeological knowledge, in fact, they have never learned.

For example, some Feng Shui knowledge.

Although maybe they will also learn some basic knowledge of Feng Shui.

But things like Feng Shui have always been hidden among the people, and each sect and sect have passed them on independently.

So not only the students, but also some teachers, they don't know much.

That's why a lot of the time.

It seems that the members of the archaeological team don't know as much as the tomb robbers.

no way.

There are sects of tomb robbers.

But the archaeological team only learned a little bit of Feng Shui.

"Yuan Tiangang came out again. Brother Fan, talk more."

This kind of thing.

That's not in the book.

In this regard.

Chen Fan continued: "When Tang Gaozong Li Zhi passed away, Wu Zetian ordered Yuan Tiangang to choose a suitable cemetery to build the emperor's mausoleum. After Yuan Tiangang received the order, he searched for a long time, but he couldn't find a suitable place. Later, midnight From time to time, Yuan Tiangang came out to watch the sky at night. He only saw a mountain with purple air soaring into the sky, which happened to intersect with the Big Dipper. Yuan Tiangang thought it was a treasure land, so he hurried up the mountain to find the direction, but he couldn't find it for a while. To make a mark with something, I took out a copper coin and put it on the ground and covered it with floating soil, and then I went down the mountain and returned to the court to return to my life."

"However, Yuan Tiangang was not the only one who searched for Tang Gaozong's tomb. At that time, Li Chunfeng also received an order. One day, he came to Liangshan and saw a very beautiful woman lying there on the top of the mountain. He thought, This is the best place to build the emperor's mausoleum. However, he was also afraid that he would not find it later. Then, he took a needle and inserted it into the soil, and then went back to report."

"Wu Zetian was a little surprised when he received the return of the two men. Because the place they both chose was the same place in Liangshan. So he sent his ministers to investigate there. The location happened to be in the hole where Yuan Tiangang buried the copper coins. In the end, Tang Gaozong's Qianling Mausoleum was also located in Liangshan."

Whether this story is true or not, Chen Fan doesn't know.

But undoubtedly, this story made everyone in the live broadcast room more curious.

"Brother Fan, if you tell me, I want to talk to your archaeological team."

"Forget it, you all know how to call 666 and what to do."

"..."

Everyone was despised by Chen Fan and couldn't say a word.

Chen Fan continued: "Later, after Wu Zetian died, she was also buried here. However, it is said that after Wu Zetian died, she told her descendants that there was no need to engrave a word on the tombstone in front of her mausoleum, so her mausoleum The tombstone, also known as the wordless tablet."

"Wordless monument?"

"No way, there will still be monuments without words?"

Everyone was extremely shocked.

Not to mention the emperor, even ordinary people will erect a stone tablet after death.

Although the common people may not have many awesome things during their lifetime, their names, dates of birth... descendants will also write these things.

But Wu Zetian wanted to erect a stele without words?
This is so different from others.

"Brother Fan, why did Wu Zetian think of erecting a stele without words? If other emperors would wish to have their descendants sing praises to him, even a faint king would hope to have a good reputation after death. Doesn't this stele without words represent Nothing, no credit at all?"

"That's exactly what Wu Zetian meant."

Chen Xin nodded: "Actually, for the emperor, his credit, his fault, the current dynasty or his descendants are not very accurate. Because he will be affected by many. And Wu Zetian is also very clear Knowing this, she wanted to erect a stele without words. For her, she thinks that it doesn't matter if she is the empress of the ages, or she is a reversed yin and yang. The wordless means, that is, merits and demerits, the empress People say."

There are several versions about the wordless stele.

One is that it originally had words, but it was not written in time, and then it became wordless.

Another is that Wu Zetian knew that he had done too many crimes, so he was embarrassed to commend his contributions on the tombstone.

Another theory is that Wu Zetian felt that his contributions were too great to be written on the tombstone.

Among these several versions, Chen Fan is more willing to believe that it is right and wrong, and let future generations comment on this version.

No matter how Wu Zetian is.

No matter how many people Wu Zetian killed, what about the level of political governance?
In fact, it is the best to be judged by later generations.

like now.

Only those of us modern people who have no relationship with Wu Zetian can negotiate the price, so that we can stand on the most fair level.

"Okay, good and bad, let future generations judge."

"The Eternal Empress is indeed not comparable to other emperors."

"Thousands of years have passed. In fact, I feel that Her Majesty, apart from killing a lot of Li Tang's descendants, is still very good at governing the Tang Dynasty."

"If you want me to say that the most powerful emperor in the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian can be ranked in the top three at least."

"Hmm. If it weren't for Wu Zetian, would there have been Tang Xuanzong's prodigal son in the Tang Dynasty? Damn, this girl's single-handed Wang Bo managed to achieve this."

"Stop talking about this, Brother Fan, please, dig Wu Zetian out quickly."

"Yes, yes, dig it out, dig it out."

This made Chen Fan dumbfounded.

How dare he dig it out?

In the previous life, the Qianling Mausoleum was discovered, but the excavation has not yet been carried out.

One is that the mining technology is not very good, and it cannot be dug.

another.

It doesn't mean that it can't be dug. With modern technology, if you really want to dig, a mountain can be leveled for him.

It can be dug, but the technology for protecting cultural relics is not yet mature.

If it is dug out, and a large number of unearthed cultural relics have not been effectively protected, what is the purpose of digging out?
In the previous life, there were quite a few guys who were overjoyed and organized people to dig Dingling.

The result is that as soon as the unearthed cultural relics come into contact with oxygen and sunlight, they immediately turn into powder.

They even dug the Dingling Tomb, but these bastards still don't want to stop, they still want to dig the Qianling Tomb.

Fortunately, the higher-ups felt that the current technology could not protect these cultural relics for the time being, so they stopped the excavation.

otherwise.

The Qianling Mausoleum in the previous life was probably also dug up.

"Brothers, it is not for me to decide whether to dig or not. Moreover, with our current protection technology for cultural relics, we have not yet been able to effectively protect all unearthed cultural relics. The archaeological team we brought this time, more It is to find and discover the Qianling Mausoleum, and to protect it. If we really wait for the day when our technology matures, we may be able to consider it.”

This is also the meaning of archaeology.

As for Chen Fan's reversal, Professor Zhou and all members of the entire archaeological team gave them a unanimous thumbs up.

"Brother Fan, we were wrong, we were just joking with you."

"Yeah, although we really want to see the excavation of the imperial tomb, but we also know that this kind of thing can't be done carelessly."

"However, Brother Fan, where is the Qianling Mausoleum? This time you are the team leader, you have to find it. If you don't find it, and you are patronized by tomb robbers again, you are a sinner in history."

"I……"

Chen Fan vomited blood.

When did he become a sinner of history?

but.

Fans are concerned about the issues that Chen Fan is also very concerned about: "Don't worry, everyone, this time I lead the team, and I am also here to find the Qianling Tomb. However, Liangshan is very big, and everyone has seen it. Our archaeological team has already left here Six days later, I still haven't found anything."

Qianling is indeed on the Liangshan side of Xianyang.

It's just that Liangshan is a bit big, and Chen Fan really doesn't know where the Chaoling is built.

Although before going to Liangshan, Chen Fan had already determined the approximate location.

But when he came to the field, it was really a dead horse...

"Brother Fan, do you know where the Qianling Mausoleum is?"

"I probably know the location, but I have to study further on where it is."

Chen Fan shook his head, he looked ahead.

There are one mountain after another in front of me, I really can't see clearly.

"Brother Fan, why don't you try it at night, you should be able to see more clearly at night."

"What are you trying to do?"

"Brother Fan, don't hide it. Can't you determine the location of the tomb through the art of the sky and the stars? You see, the Tang Dynasty is more than 1000 years away from now. The whole mountain and river have become unknown, It’s definitely not visible to the naked eye.”

"Believe in science."

Chen Fan said seriously.

"Brother Fan, I will just quietly watch you pretend to be aggressive."

"..."

Chen Fan was helpless.

Why do these guys like feudal superstition so much?

just.

On the other hand, Professor Zhou handed Chen Fan a glass of water and said, "Why don't we, Teacher Chen Fan, let's have a look at it tonight?"

"I……"

Chen Fan blinked.

Everyone in the entire work team nodded towards Chen Fan.

have to.

It seems that not only the fans are so feudal and superstitious, but also the members of the archaeological team.

"Okay, try it at night."

Helpless, Chen Fan had no choice but to nod.

of course.

In fact, this is not a feudal superstition.

The reason for using this method is entirely because of the Fengshui masters who built the Qianling Mausoleum, and they did the same.

For example, to determine the location of the tomb?
What are they based on?
The orientation is not determined according to a series of methods of feng shui and gossip.

and so.

The best way is to push back and search according to the method they used before, which is the most convenient.

This is why there are only a few of the tomb robbers.

But it was able to determine the location of the tomb owner's tomb at once and steal the most important cultural relics.

……

That night.

Chen Fan led the archaeological team to climb to the highest peak of Liangshan.
