Rebirth 93: Break off the engagement at the beginning and marry Bai Fumei

Chen Yang then told several people about the experience of having the royal tombs of the Liao Dynasty stolen. According to records, after the rulers of the Jin Dynasty defeated the Liao Kingdom, they launched a crazy act of revenge, and all the imperial tombs of the Liao Dynasty were destroyed. Taking the Liao Zu Mausoleum as an example, "Khitan Chronicles" written by Ye Longli of the Southern Song Dynasty records: In the summer of 1120 (the tenth year of Tianqing), the Jin people broke into the Tianshan Hall in Zuzhou, Shangjing, burned everything, and unearthed gold, silver and jewelry; then in 1914 , that is, in the third year of the Republic of China, the Linxi County Magistrate accidentally discovered the Yongqing Mausoleum of the Holy Emperor Yelu Longxu. Since then, the tomb has been repeatedly robbed, with four of the most influential excavations taking place.

In 1914 (the third year of the Republic of China), the head of Linxi County organized people to secretly excavate the tomb; in 1922 (the eleventh year of the Republic of China), French priest Min Xuanhua stole the tomb; in 1930 (the nineteenth year of the Republic of China), Rehe Province Chairman Tang Yulin stole the tomb; in 1939 (the th year of the Republic of China), the Japanese Tamura Sanzo and Kobayashi Yukio stole the tomb.

Qingling is located in the Qingyun Mountain area of ​​present-day Inner Mongolia. Qingling is not a mausoleum, but the Yongqing Mausoleum of the Holy Zong Yelu Longxu, the Yongxing Mausoleum of the Xingzong Yelu Zongzhen, and the Yongfuling Mausoleum of the Daozong Yelu Hongji. Collectively. The locals call the three mausoleums "Donngling", "Zhongling" and "Xiling" respectively. Among them, there is a folk rumor that Tang Yulin stole Qingling. At that time, Tang Yulin asked Tang Zuorong to lead the officers and soldiers of the 36th Army Division to the Qingling area in the name of military exercises. The excavation method was the same as Sun Dianying's robbery of the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty. The area around the tombs was first sealed off, military explosives were used to blow up the entrances to the underground palaces of the three imperial tombs, and then long tomb passages were dug. Many soldiers dug in the mountains all day long, digging hundreds of cubic meters of earth and rock.

The tomb robbers from China, France and Japan all reached out to the tombs of the Liao Dynasty emperors, which is very rare in the history of tomb robbery. Moreover, Chen Yang asked a few people to think about these large tombs in the Liao Dynasty, from the Jin Dynasty to the present. Others found that it had been stolen. Even so, a large amount of gold and silver jewelry, porcelain offerings, and pearls and agate were still found in the tomb. One can imagine how rich the burial objects of these nobles in the Liao Dynasty were.

In June 1992, archaeologists received a call from the Cultural Relics Department, saying that a large Liao tomb had been discovered. The epitaph inside had Yelu Yuzhi engraved on it. When the archaeologists arrived at the tomb site, the light instantly lit up. There is a large hole more than ten meters deep. It seems that the tomb has been brutally attacked by tomb robbers. As expected, what he could see after going down was basically a large number of damaged silk fabrics and murals. The scene was horrific, and other cultural relics had disappeared.

The local public security agency immediately launched an investigation. They originally wanted to ask nearby villagers, but they found a brightly colored robe draped on the wall of a farmer's courtyard in a village not far from the curtain, with gold and silver threads woven into it. Embroidered with a pair of phoenix patterns, it is a rare silk fabric treasure and is obviously not owned by ordinary people. After asking the owner, it turned out that it was really taken out of the tomb, and almost everyone nearby had something like this.

It turned out that there was a rumor in the village that there was a treasure on the mountain, so the villagers went to grab it one after another. But where did the news come from? There are different opinions, but no one can tell clearly. But where did all the clothes, fabrics, gold and silver utensils confiscated from the villagers go?

When he was at a loss, a villager mentioned a shepherd who often herded sheep in this area. One day when the shepherd came home, he was holding many heavy things in his hands, which might be related to the tomb. After finding the shepherd, under interrogation, the shepherd admitted that he had indeed taken things from the ancient tomb. More than 40 gold and silver utensils, gold bowls, silver plates, etc. were found in his home, each of which was exquisitely made, but the shepherd Guan did not admit that he was a tomb robber.

He said that when he was tending sheep that day, he found the entrance to a man-made cave. When he dug it out, it turned out to be a tunnel. When he got down, he couldn't see his fingers inside. The shepherd lit a match, and suddenly there was a golden light in the cave. When he got closer, he saw something strange. There were so many gold and silver jewelry and utensils, so I took a lot of them.

It seems that this tomb has been excavated before, but why did the tomb robbers dig the hole but not take away these treasures? This is really unreasonable. Could it be that the shepherd is lying? Fortunately, not long after, the tomb robber was arrested and brought to justice, and everyone believed what the shepherd said.

"Brother, why didn't they go in after they dug the hole?" Qin Haofeng asked Chen Yang curiously from the side.

Chen Yang chuckled, "According to the four captured tomb robbers, they discovered that there was a tomb there very early, and it took them two months to finally dig to the top of the tomb. However, at the critical juncture, the loot was unevenly distributed. They argued. So they planned to put it away for a while and come back later. Unexpectedly, during this gap, the sheepherder picked up the leak. The tomb robber came back and was dumbfounded. There was not much left in it, so he had to take the remaining gold. Silverware. Later, the news about the treasure on the mountain spread in the village, and the nearby villagers looted it again."

Chen Yang played with the amber necklace and said, "Think about it, after three barbaric excavations, the tomb of an important Khitan official was left in a mess, but even so, archaeologists still found good things inside."

"What is it?" Lao Shan was standing next to him, holding his chin on his arm and looking at Chen Yang and asked.

"It is a Long Live Taijinhua silver inkstone box, 18.4 cm long, 11-13.6 cm wide, and 7.6 cm high. The box body is decorated with a four-clawed dragon, with a blooming lotus in its mouth, with the stamen in the middle There are three large Chinese characters "Long Live Platform" engraved on it. And from the ink marks remaining in the inkstone box, it can be seen that this was something used by the owner of the tomb during his lifetime."

"Ah!" Qin Haofeng and Zhu Zhu looked at each other at the same time. Both dragon and "Long Live" can only be used by emperors. According to what Chen Yang just said, Yelu Yuzhi is just a minister, so why dare he go beyond the rules?

"Brother, is Yelu Yuzhi's rebellion discovered and destroyed by Taizu Liao?" Zhu Zhu said with his big eyes swaying, "How dare you call yourself Long Live? This was a capital offense at that time!"

After hearing this, Chen Yang just laughed and said that the archaeologists were also suspicious at the time. In order to find out what was going on, he led the archaeological team into the tomb again. When he opened the door of the main tomb chamber , shined a flashlight inside, and saw a sudden flash of green light, which startled him.

"Of course, this is not your kind of green, this is real green, just like a will-o'-the-wisp." Chen Yang looked at Qin Haofeng with a smile and smiled.

Qin Haofeng pursed his lips and rolled his eyes at Chen Yang, "Brother, I'm not doing it yet. It hasn't started yet. Why is she doing it to me!"

"Hehe," Zhuzi smiled evilly at the side, "Yours is indeed not green, yours is watermelon rind, green and black!"

"Get out of here!" Qin Haofeng hit the pillar hard. The guy didn't even rub his shoulders, he just laughed.

"Okay, okay," Chen Yang said with a smile that it was okay, and continued to talk to the three people, "The archaeological team took a closer look and found that it was not some will-o'-the-wisp, but it turned out that the entire main room walls and floor were covered with fire. It is built with green glazed bricks, the carvings are exquisite and translucent, and there are patterns of bees or butterflies on the four corners of each brick. The scene was quite spectacular!"

Fuck! Zhuzi's jaw dropped after hearing this, glazed brick! How much will it take?

"A damn ghost is actually more luxurious than us living people. No wonder these tomb robbers want to go in and take out the good things!" Qin Haofeng sighed at the side, "After hearing this, I wanted to go. It's a good thing to come back with a brick. ah!"

After archaeologists later reviewed the information, they discovered a little-known history. At the end of 925 AD, Yelu Abao led his army to attack the Bohai Kingdom, and Yelu Yuzhi followed the army. After the surrender of the Bohai Kingdom, Yelu Abaoji renamed it the Dongdan Kingdom, appointed his eldest son Yelvbei as the King of Dongdan, and assigned him two prime ministers on the left and two prime ministers on the left and right to assist him. Among them, the right minister was Yelu Yuzhi, who was only the fifth in command of Dongdan Kingdom at that time. I have to say that Yelu Yuzhi was so lucky. The Prime Minister on the Right and the Second Prime Minister on the Left are both former ministers of the Bohai Kingdom and cannot hold real power. The Prime Minister Zuo was Abaoji's younger brother Yelu Diela, who died after only one month in office.

A year later, Yelu Abaoji died, and his second son Yelu Deguang succeeded him. In order to consolidate his power, Yelu Bei was placed under house arrest. Yelu Yuzhi naturally became the actual ruler of Dongdan Kingdom, so he could enjoy an emperor-level tomb.

After saying this, Chen Yang took the amber necklace in his hand and said to Zhuzhu and others, "Let me tell you, a tomb like Princess Chen's will be considered a nobleman. After she died, she and her consort both wore one on their chests. A string of amber necklaces; but in an imperial tomb like Yelu Yuzhi, no amber necklaces were found at all."

"We all know that the Khitans believe that amber has the function of requieming souls, and amber and crystal must be buried in the tomb after death. So why was no amber necklace found in Yelu Yuzhi's tomb?"

Qin Haofeng lowered his head and thought for a while, "It means someone went down to the tomb before and took away the amber!"

"Although I don't know where the elder brother got this amber necklace from just now, such a large string of amber necklaces definitely did not come from the tomb of Princess Chen, so it must have come from the tomb of Yelu Yu!" Zhu Zhu also spoke next to him. said.

Chen Yang nodded after hearing this, saying that this thing seemed to have been around for a few years, and Yelu Yuzhi's tomb was also discovered in 1992, so it was probably correct.

"Yingluo is already here. There is still one more thing left to hold, and she is probably in the hands of that big brother!" Chen Yang said with a slight frown.

"Hold?" Qin Haofeng and Zhu Zhu were stunned at the same time, "What are you holding?"
