Chapter 901 Imperial Tomb

"What is this?"

Through the glass on the oxygen mask, Zhuang Rui saw a corpse emerging, but his whole body was gray and white, and his fingers touched it hard. Why didn't he look like a human body?

"Gold......golden jade clothes?!"

Zhuang Rui was wondering. Professor Meng exclaimed, and his whole body jumped on the copper coffin. If it hadn't been for the decline of the mercury level inside, it would have splashed him all over.

"Quick, speed up. This ancient corpse is protected by golden jade clothes. I'm afraid it's not rotten...

Although Professor Meng's face could not be seen clearly through the oxygen mask, it could be heard from the words that the old professor would be very excited, so he almost came forward to grab the scoop of Zhuang Rui and Dr. Ren and do the work of cleaning up the mercury in person.

Mercury has the effect of antiseptic, and jade also has the function of keeping fresh. Combined with the two, it is no wonder Professor Meng made such an inference.

The golden jade coat, also known as the "jade box", is a coroner worn by the emperors and senior nobles of the Han Dynasty after death. The appearance is the same as the shape of the human body.

Jade clothes are a symbol of the status of the wearer. The jade clothes of the emperor and some close ministers are knotted with gold threads, which are called "golden jade clothes". Other nobles are fabricated with silver threads and copper threads, called "silver jade clothes" and "copper jade clothes".

At present, there are 18 tombs in the Western Han Dynasty where jade clothes have been unearthed in China, and there are only eight tombs with golden strands. Among them, the most representative of the "golden jade" clothes of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, was unearthed from the No. 1 tomb in Mancheng, Hebei Province. The film was completed by hundreds of craftsmen for more than two years. The whole jade dress is exquisitely designed and meticulous, which is a rare artistic treasure.

In the year, this golden jade coat was unearthed. At that time, countless scholars at home and abroad rushed to Hebei one after another, which caused a sensation in the archaeological community at home and abroad, and carried out scientific research on this rare treasure.

Now in the gap between the jade pieces that have been revealed in this coffin, you can see the thin line with a slight golden luster with the naked eye. Even if Zhuang Rui is a novice who has never touched a golden jade coat, it is not difficult to judge that this is a golden jade coat!

As the mercury in the coffin was constantly scooped out, the corpse in gold and jade clothes was more presented in front of everyone. At first, what he saw was his abdomen, high bulge, and now, chest. And both feet have also been exposed.

"There's something on the head...

Professor Meng, who had been staring at the golden jade clothes in the coffin, suddenly shouted that everyone's eyes were immediately attracted, and the head of the body exposed to the water flashed with golden light, which was actually a golden mask.

Unlike the golden mask that Zhuang Rui once got, this mask is not very big, only covering the nose of the body, but the mask is carved with extremely tedious huā lines, and the whole mask is dense with all kinds of roads.

Professor Meng leaned out and tried to take it. The rope tied to the jade coat behind the mask should have been rotten, and he easily took the mask off.

"National treasure, national treasure, more exquisite than the golden mask unearthed in Sanxingdui, Hubei "..."

Professor Meng couldn't wait to take off his gloves and touch the mask directly, muttering to himself, looking like he couldn't put it down.

After playing for a long time, Professor Meng looked at Zhuang Rui and said, "Xiao Zhuang, although this mask is not as big as the one in your museum, the workmanship is much more exquisite..."

"Hehe, that's the craftsmanship of our ancestors, of course, better than the foreign devils "..."

Zhuang Rui smiled, but after saying this, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable about what he was doing now. Isn't it disturbing his ancestors?

"Buddy was dug by tomb thieves after the Ministry of Archaeology..."

Zhuang Rui found a reason in his heart. In fact, national archaeology, to put it bluntly, is also an official thief. The only difference from tomb robbers is that one is for private profit, and the other is open to the public.

"Xiaozhuang, Xiao Ren, take out all these mercury immediately. In addition, ask them to prepare tools to transport this golden jade clothes to the laboratory in Henan Province. If it takes a long time, I'm afraid of problems. If it doesn't work, call the local helicopter..."

After seeing the unearthed golden sps of jade clothes and golden masks, Professor Meng immediately made a decision.

To be honest, it is a little too hasty to open the coffin this time, but it is also because of the constraints that such a large volume and weight of the copper coffin can not be completely transported out of the tomb at all.

As soon as Professor Meng said this, everyone was busy. At this moment, it is most important to protect the golden jade clothes and the corpses in it. What other cultural relics unearthed in the coffin are now put aside. Anyway, the things are in it, and they will not run away on their long legs.

The state machine was very efficient when it was used. More than half an hour later, a helicopter stopped at the top of the mountain and carefully put everyone in a golden jade clothes full of ice bags and the corpses inside, which were transported out of the mountain.

At this time, the mercury poison gas in the tomb was basically scattered under the action of the blower. Everyone went down to the tomb again and began to count the objects in the copper coffin.

You know, from the beginning of the survey to the excavation, it has been many days now, and even the identity of the owner of the tomb has not been cleared, which also makes many experts and scholars, including Professor Meng, feel a little ugly.

Although there are many unnamed tombs unearthed in China, those are all because of the military disaster and thieves, which have swept up the objects in the tomb to prove their identity. However, this tomb is very well preserved. If the identity of the owner of the tomb cannot be verified, it is definitely a laughing thing for the peers.

Originally, there was still a layer of mercury that had not been scooped out in the copper coffin, but after seeing the air more than 2,000 years ago, the mercury was quickly lost and evaporated. In the coffin, a thick layer of burial objects was revealed.

"Is this a jade grip?"

Zhuang Rui wore gloves and found a pair of dark, olive-shaped, round tips at both ends in the middle, and some threaded jade on it.

"This should be a jade pig..." Zhuang Rui looked at it for a long time and recognized the shape of the object. A single line was added to the long column, which was a typical Han eight-knife technique.

The jade grip is one of the jade burial objects, which has always been held in the hands of the deceased. The ancients believed that they could not go empty-handed when they died. To hold wealth and power, the pig represented wealth. Therefore, the jade grip in the Han Dynasty was basically the jade pig's modeling factory Professor Meng took the jade handed over Grip, but there must be no jade plug in it. That thing is designated in the inside of the golden jade clothes...

As the cleaning work progressed, objects were taken out of the coffin one by one, including gold and silver products, representing small animal pottery flies with auspicious meanings, and the most were jade.

Jade decoration, jade pendant, jade humanoid all kinds of jade, full of white cloth on the ground, protected by dry mercury. These jades are like new jade without any traces of unearthed.

And the most surprising object is a bronze dagger with a sheath. The dagger is no more than two fingers long, but it is extremely sharp." Zhuang Rui tried it and could easily cut open the dozens of layers of white cloth.

As soon as the bronze dagger was unearthed, it was wrapped by Professor Meng with the soil in the tomb. According to his words, the unearthed bronze will undergo a qualitative change after seeing oxygen. It should be wrapped in the soil in the tomb and processed after it is taken to the laboratory.

Zhuang Rui also doesn't know whether Professor Meng's statement has a scientific basis, but when he found the fixed light sword, it seemed to be full of copper rust and soil.

"Be careful, this is pottery,"

"Wow, this piece of jade is the best mutton fat jade..."

The unearthed artifacts made the surroundings exclamation from time to time. There was even a set of sixteen colorful pottery farticles the size of thumbs.

The characters shown by these pottery frugs should be the emperor's royal chefs. "There are people who cut meat to cook, there are rice and steam rice." There is also a water well made of pottery, and there are pottery people doing the action of fetching water by the well.

Although these terracotta faux are positive and small, their facial expressions are vividly portrayed, just like a reduced real person.

There were still some brocade quilts in the coffin, but when the mercury was scooped out, the brocades were materialized and withered in the coffin, and it was difficult to clean up.

"What's going on? Don't you have a seal and jade seal?"

The cleaning of the coffin is coming to an end, but the jade seal or seal that everyone is looking forward to has not appeared. Professor Meng, who has been very calm, is also a little anxious at this moment.

"No, is it possible that the owner of the tomb deliberately does not let others know his identity?"

"Impossible, it is the work of future generations to enter the earth, and they will definitely put their seal into the tomb "............

"Then why not? Let's look for it carefully..."

Not only is Professor Meng a little anxious, but the rest of the people are not very calm. If the identity of the owner cannot be found in the coffin, then there will be no objects to prove the identity of the owner in the rest of the earl chambers and side rooms.

When everyone was talking, Zhuang Rui released the aura in his eyes and re-examined the coffin. When he saw the upper right side of the copper coffin, his eyes couldn't help but stop.

There is a large piece of brocade rotten, but in the middle of it, Zhuang Rui senses a very strong aura. Although the volume of the objects inside is only the size of a baby's fist, the purple aura is abundant.

"Teacher, I found this thing. It should be a jade seal, right?"

Zhuang Rui reached out and took the remnants of the brocade in his hand. After recording the rotten brocade outside, a lump of jade suddenly appeared in his hand.

The jade is square, with a dragon carved on the top, and the scales on the body are clear. The faucet contains a dragon ball, which is very majestic in shape, and there is a square seal below.

Zhuang Rui turned it over and took a look. There seemed to be a lot of words on it, but he only recognized one seal and recognized the word "cy". In fact, it was enough. At least it showed that this was the tomb of the emperor. Because of the clear level of chapters in ancient times, after the Qin Dynasty, there The seal used by the emperor is called the seal, and the seal used by the subjects can only be called the seal.

According to the records of the Han Dynasty, the emperor has six seals: the emperor's seal, the emperor's seal, the emperor's seal, the emperor's seal, the emperor's seal, the emperor's seal. The six seals have different uses and are under the control of Fu Jie Lingcheng.

However, the jade seal of the country is not in the list of the six seals. This jade seal is used to represent orthodoxy. The so-called "true destiny emperor" must have this jade seal, otherwise it can only be the king of grass chicken rather than the real dragon emperor.

The so-called Chuanguo jade seal naturally refers to the well-known He's jade in history. Since Qin broke Zhao and got He's jade, the First Emperor of Qin ordered Li Si to write the eight characters "in order from heaven, Shou Yongchang" on He's Bi. Sun Shou, the king of Xianyang jade worker, carefully studied and

The jade seal passed through the change of the four dynasties of the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties, Song, Qi, Sorghum and Chen, and was finally included in the palace of the Sui Dynasty by Yang Jian. However, after the death of the Sui Dynasty, Queen Xiao and the Empress Dowager Sun Zhengdao and Chuan Guoxi to the northern

Later, when Li Jing fought against the Turks, Empress Xiao returned to the Central Plains and offered the jade seal to Li Shimin. However, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world was in chaos and the heroes were everywhere. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Li Congke held the national seal in his arms and burned himself, and the national

"Jade seal?!"

Zhuang Rui's words attracted everyone's attention to him. More than a dozen hands reached out to Zhuang Rui at the same time. Huade Zhuang Rui retreated repeatedly. If this thing is broken, who will be responsible?

"Bred it to me...

Professor Meng also lost his composure at this moment. After taking over the jade seal in Zhuang Rui's hand, he didn't care whether there were any harmful substances on it. He directly took off his gloves and printed it on the back of his hand.

When Professor Meng was identifying the seal characters on the back of his hand, he suddenly showed an incredible expression and stammered, "Liu...Liu Xiu's Emperor Baoxi?"

"Liu Xiu? Didn't Liu Xiu's tomb have a public judgment a long time ago?

"Yes, how is this possible? Liu Xiu's tomb is dozens of miles away......"

"Professor Meng, you're not mistaken, are you?"

As soon as Professor Meng said this, the tomb suddenly looked like a frying pan. After thousands of years, Liu Xiu's tomb has long been identified as on the bank of the Yellow River and a garden has been built. How can another Liu Xiu's tomb appear here?

"It's true, Lao Li, Lao Song, take a look at these words, it can't be fake "............

Professor Meng also couldn't believe his eyes, but the words that gradually blurred on the back of his hand did confirm that this was Liu Xiu's emperor jade seal.

After Professor Meng handed the jade seal to several colleagues, he muttered to himself, "Is that legend true?"

"Teacher, what's the legend?"

Zhuang Rui's ear was good. After hearing Professor Meng's words, he said the same sentence.

"It is said that Liu Xiu's son is a very rebellious person. Liu Xiu asked him to go east and he must go west, and let him chase the dog to chase the chicken.

It is said that when Liu Xiu was about to die, he asked his son to bury him on the bank of the Yellow River. In fact, he wanted this disobedient son to bury himself in Dengshan. Now it seems that this rumor is somewhat [true]..."

The truth of history can no longer be studied, and Professor Meng can only use these wild historical rumors to explain the unearthing of Liu Xiuyu.
