Chapter 969 The Real Heavy Weapon

Although it is already known that in this Mausoleum of Wu Zetian, there are Dayu Jiuding and Qin Twelve Jins imitated by the empresses of the past generation, but when Wang Lao and Liu Yue saw those big guys in this tomb in disorder, The two still involuntarily uttered a strange cry, and rushed forward.

However, when the two of them approached these big guys, they stopped in unison, took out white gloves from their pockets and put them on their hands.

Elder Wang turned his head and glared at Liu Yue, "Xiao Liu, why are you wearing gloves? Why don't you quickly record everything here, if you don't record, my old man can't touch these treasures!"

After being yelled at by Mr. Wang, Liu Yue took out the camera embarrassingly, and began to shoot at the tomb.

Liu Yue was a student brought out by Mr. Wang, he was regarded as half of Mr. Wang's disciple, and when Mr. Wang spoke, Liu Yue dared not not listen.

Although Zhao Yong on the side didn't understand cultural relics, he couldn't help but widen his eyes after seeing the nine turquoise tripods and the twelve shining golden men. After a long time, he asked Yang Jing in a low voice. : "Brother Yang, is this the legendary Dayu Jiuding and Qin Twelve Golden Men?"

Yang Jing shook his head slightly and said: "Brother Zhao, this is just an imitation of Empress Wu Zetian. The real Dayu Jiuding disappeared as early as the Zhou Dynasty. As for the twelve golden figures, they were also imitated by Wu Zetian. Yes, the real Qin Twelve Golden Men are not made of gold, but should be made of bronze, and they are much larger than the twelve golden men in front of us. If the real Qin Twelve Golden Men, this tomb I can't let it go."

"Are these twelve golden men really made of gold?" Zhao Yong was a little shocked.

"That's right, although it's not very pure gold, it's much more pure than ordinary dog's head gold. Don't forget, the one who built these twelve golden statues is Empress Wu Zetian."

Zhao Yong shook his head, as if he couldn't believe that the twelve life-sized golden men were actually made of gold.After a long time, he asked: "Brother Yang, I don't understand these things, but I still can't figure it out. Why did Wu Zetian spend so much gold to build these twelve golden figures? And the nine great tripods."

"Hehe, brother Zhao, if you talk about this, it's a long story for a child without a mother. Dayu, you know?"

"Well, who doesn't know this? Dayu controlled the floods and never entered the house three times. I learned this in elementary school."

"It's good to know. The Dayu Jiuding, according to legend, was cast by Dayu, because Dayu was also the founding emperor of the Xia Dynasty, the first dynasty in China. At that time, there were two so-called major national events, one was sacrificial offerings. , one is the military. Let’s not talk about the military, let’s just talk about the sacrifice. In that era, the sacrifice was a way to communicate between people and gods, and it represented the religious beliefs of the people. The cornerstone of the country's legitimacy. Therefore, the sacrificial power and the sacrificial utensils have naturally become symbols of the highest power in the country. Whoever masters these things will have the kingship."

"In that era, tripods had many uses, one of which was used for sacrifices. At the same time, tripods were also used as ritual utensils to distinguish the status of nobles, such as the nine tripods of the emperor, the seven tripods of the princes, and the five tripods of the doctor. Therefore, when After Dayu established the Xia Dynasty, he divided the world into Kyushu, ordered Kyushu prefects to donate bronze, and cast Jiuding to symbolize Kyushu. Zhou, and concentrated the nine tripods in the capital of the Xia Dynasty. Since then, the nine tripods have become a symbol of the government!"

"During the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, these nine tripods were regarded as national treasures that symbolized state power. They were synonymous with China at that time, and also represented the supreme royal power! Only later, during the reign of King Zhou Xian, the nine tripods disappeared. Later, after Qin Shihuang unified China, because there was no Jiuding, he could only make the Chuanguo Yuxi and Qin Twelve Golden People. Because Jiuding not only represents the supreme kingship, but also has the significance of suppressing the fate of the country. Qin Shihuang did not have Dayu Jiuding Therefore, we can only separate the functions of the nine tripods, use the Chuanguo Yuxi to represent the supreme imperial power, and use the twelve golden men to suppress the national fortune of the Qin Dynasty."

"So, whether it's Dayu's Nine Cauldrons, Qin Twelve Golden Men, or the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, they are all symbols of royal power. At the same time, the former two are also important weapons for suppressing the fate of the country. Brother Zhao, do you understand the fate of the country? "

Zhao Yong nodded.

"That's right, this national destiny sounds illusory, but we Chinese people recognize it. Although the Dayu Jiuding and the Qin Twelve Jins are imitations, they can still suppress the national destiny. Just like our Liaoning. Like the Guangdong aircraft carrier, it is also the existence of suppressing the fate of the country. With those two giant ships, the safety of our sea area can be guaranteed, which is a manifestation of suppressing the fate of the country!"

"Brother Yang, you know a lot." Zhao Yong boasted with a smile.

The tomb is very quiet, so Mr. Wang and Liu Yue heard what Yang Jing told Zhao Yong. Mr. Wang turned his head and gave Yang Jing a thumbs up and said with a smile: "What Xiao Yang said is very That's right, in the minds of us Chinese people, Dayu's Nine Cauldrons, Chuan Guoxi, and these twelve golden men are the most important national treasures to suppress the fate of the country, so today we have made so much effort to come here."

Zhao Yong asked: "Old Wang, but I think the Jiuding and the Twelve Golden People seem to be very heavy, we can't get them out."

Mr. Wang patted one of the nine tripods, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, these big guys are really heavy. It seems that the weight and size of the smallest Jiuding tripod surpassed the Simuwu Dafang tripod. The weight of such a tripod I estimate that it weighs eight or nine hundred kilograms. As for those golden men, they are even heavier.

"Old Wang, didn't you say you were going to dig this tomb before you came?" Zhao Yong continued to ask.

Mr. Wang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid we can't dig it. You saw the exquisite murals when we first came in. The reason why these murals can be preserved so well is because the tomb is sealed, and the outside air cannot enter. Come on. And once we excavate this tomb, even if we just dig out a passage, the murals will not be preserved. Therefore, if it is according to my idea, it is best not to carry out excavation work on this tomb."

"Then how do you get these babies out?"

"Then bring more people! Hey, if you ask me about this matter, I can't make the decision. We came here this time mainly to find out the situation. Now the situation is almost the same. How to carry out the specific follow-up work is still up to us." It depends on what it means.”

Yang Jing said: "Old Wang, I reckon that this tomb will have to be dug up eventually. First of all, the value of the Dayu Jiuding and the Qin Twelve Golden Man imitated by Wu Zetian is hard to estimate. Even if it is damaged a little, it will be irreparable." losses, so if you want to transport these big guys out from the bottom of the water, it is estimated that the higher-ups will not agree. Compared with those murals, these big guys are the key point."

After Wang Lao heard this, although his face showed unwillingness, he finally sighed and nodded.Mr. Wang is a pure scholar and expert. In his eyes, although the Great Yu Jiuding and the Qin Twelve Jinren are extremely precious, those exquisite tomb murals are also priceless treasures. To destroy the other for the sake of one is not a good idea. It was the last thing he wanted to see.

Yang Jing continued: "Only by digging a wide enough passage can the safety of these big guys be guaranteed. Moreover, once this tomb is developed, it will become a local scenic spot. Once it is opened to the public, it is estimated that people will come here There are no fewer tourists than the Ming Tombs in Yanjing. After all, this is the tomb of Empress Wu Zetian, this gimmick is not comparable to those emperors of the Braid Dynasty.”

Elder Wang's face was gloomy.Although he didn't want to see this scene happen, he had to admit that Yang Jing was right.For local officials, they don't care about cultural relics or not. The most important thing is to increase the local GDP income.

"But Mr. Wang, you don't have to worry. I think it will be fine if the murals are protected before the official excavation here."

Old Wang said with a wry smile: "The murals in the tomb outside are too large, and they are all painted directly on the rock wall. It is not impossible to protect them, but the cost will be extremely high. I am not sure about this. Talk to the top."

"Hey, Mr. Wang, this is not easy? If there is no funding from above, don't you go to the local leaders? Tell them about the situation here, and you can focus on those murals. After all, once the place is dug up, these murals will be destroyed. It is the most distinctive scenic spot in this mausoleum. How many tourists will it attract? If these murals cannot be preserved, then this mausoleum will lack more than half of its charm and attraction. Therefore, the only way to keep these murals is to Only by attracting more tourists to come and enjoy, can we create higher income for the local area.”

"That's right! Why didn't I think of this?" Mr. Wang slapped his thigh excitedly. He didn't even care about Dayu Jiuding and the Twelve Jinren. He turned his head and asked Liu Yue: "Xiao Liu, take a picture of them all. Yet?"

"Mr. Wang, I've finished shooting, but I can't take pictures of some places that cannot be moved."

"That's okay. Let's go, let's go back right away. When I go back, I hurry up and discuss this matter with Lao Song."

In this way, the four stayed in the mausoleum for about two hours before returning to the surface of the water.

But before coming out, Yang Jing took out a very strong large plastic bag from his backpack. This kind of plastic bag has a special seal, as long as you put things in it and seal it, let alone the water, even the air can pass through. not come out.

Before going out, Yang Jing put the box containing Yuechengzi's remains into this plastic bag, then sealed it and brought it out from the bottom of the water
