Chapter 116 Zhao Ji's Tomb
Facing the crazy snake, the probability of two people surviving is always much lower than that of a group of people. The leader also knows this truth.
So, even though Chen Yina just ran away, they would not refuse us to escape together.
"Damn it, you two should be careful. When I kill this snake, I'm going to settle the score with you!"
"Master, it's too early to say this now. Let's find a way to solve the current crisis first!"
"Hmph, isn't it just a snake? Seedling root. You leave it behind and kill him for me!" After saying that, the head suddenly stopped Seedling root beside him. Seedling root looked pale, as if facing a great enemy, he was hesitating.
I said, "Master, don't, I don't want to die yet!"
"What's the point? Hurry up!" As he said that, the head kicked Miaogen in the leg, "Give it to me!"
I didn't expect that the head of the sect would regard his subordinates' lives as grass mustard and let Wugen be a scapegoat. The poor Wugen had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight the giant python.
The ending left to him can be imagined.
However, he himself would not have thought that the end of his life was not the bloody mouth of the python, but the gun of his comrade. The head of the sect saw that the giant python had entangled the seedling root and had a chance to breathe.
Several guns immediately pointed at Miaogen and the giant python, swept wildly. When the sound of the bullet stopped, Miaogen had already fallen into a pool of blood with the giant python.
"You guys are so cold-blooded."
"Cold-blooded?" the head snorted coldly, "Don't cold-blooded understand the rules when he entered the industry?"
We ran around for a while and we didn't know where we were. Not long after, a corridor appeared in front of us. The head of the army ordered to stop and rest, and lit a fire on the edge of the corridor.
"You go and check it out." The head of the sect said to me coldly, "I don't feel very safe in this place."
"Okay." I nodded.
I went around to check and confirmed that there were no traces of other snakes. From the corridor to the head, I saw him wiping the walls with charcoal in the bonfire, as if he wanted to print something. I asked him what he was doing.
Pointing to the stone next to it: "I just discovered it."
The wall was painted a large piece. I blew it with my mouth and found that there were almost flattened reliefs on these stone walls.
"It's basically invisible under the light. Only by applying charcoal powder can there be shadows and you can tell them." He said, and then picked out a piece from the bonfire to apply.
The black carbon black was smeared on the rocks, and the light and shadow changed. I shook for a while and found a suitable position. The relief on the stone appeared. At first glance, I saw a large number of birds, which was difficult to distinguish. The light and shadow were scattered.
The patterns of these birds seem to be alive.
The head continued to apply it, and we saw ancient reliefs appearing on the rocks here. Over the years, they still have both form and spirit, and they emerged like magic under the head's smear.
"What is it talking about?"
"I can't understand it all at once." He said, "Look, you have to think about it slowly."
I moved my body to find the best angle and took the time to look carefully.
I looked at it one by one and didn't know what it meant. There were many things expressed in the relief, some seemed to be sacrifices, and some seemed to be a ceremony. I really couldn't say anything if I could say it.
Come.
I looked at it half-guessed and half-thought, and felt that there were a few pictures that seemed to be talking about the ancestors here, who worshipped these birds as totems. There were sacrifices in the presidency, and many people knelt around.
"Does the people here regard birds as gods?"
"This is not unusual. Bird worship is very common. The ancients envied phoenixes and regarded birds as gods. Many ethnic minorities in China worship birds, but what I wondered is that this place regarded a tomb of the Qin Dynasty. Why did people at that time still do it?
Will there be bird worship?”
"That probably isn't a totem!"
So I continued to move my body. The reliefs on the side were many people holding spears, fighting with soldiers. Many people's bodies were pierced by spears, which seemed to be a war.
The situation of the battle seems to be unfavorable to the tomb owner, because their number is obviously much smaller than that of the other party. The tomb owners are all infantry, and cavalry can be seen in the opponent's team. The enemy commander is behind the team.
Sitting in a carriage led by eight horses, the figure of the tomb owner was not seen in the relief. All the reliefs were exquisite in shape, and even the facial features were carefully pondered, vividly, obviously from the craftsmanship of top craftsmen.
"This is, war..." the head murmured.
"It seems that the place where the tomb owner is located has been invaded, and the other party
It is a relatively powerful army." I touched the commander on the chariot with my hand and frowned.
Suddenly the head of the sect raised his finger and pointed at the enemy leader and said to me: "I know who this person is."
"Ah?" I was stunned for a moment and said to myself: Do you know him, is he your second uncle?
The head of the sect then said, and I immediately realized that I had misunderstood. He said, "These eight horses... this man is the emperor."
"Son of Heaven?! Could it be Qin Shihuang?"
"Only the emperor can use these eight horses' chariots."
"It makes sense!" I immediately continued to look at the relief. The next painting made me gasp. I saw the invaders' army breaking into a palace. There were many women and children on the picture, and they were being invaded.
He was taken into the prison car.
Seeing this, I vaguely feel that this ancient tomb may have an extraordinary relationship with Qin Shihuang. At least, if the invader is really Qin Shihuang, the owner of the tomb could still enjoy such a funeral after his death, and he was definitely not an ordinary person.
Looking further back, the more we look, the more we conformed to our inferences. My mind gradually became clearer about the concept here. When I was so happy, the head of the sect stopped and saw the most central part of the stone wall.
The relief is a huge circular pattern, which is obviously the center part of the whole rock carving composition. It carved a huge bird, like a phoenix, surrounded by many birds, fighting each other. The one among them is
The big bird perched on a huge tree, and other small birds lingered around it like decorative patterns.
"Are these two kinds of birds fighting?" said the head of the sect. "It seems that the owner of this tomb likes to study birds and is a bird expert. This big bird may be the natural enemy of these little birds."
I touched the stone carvings and shook my head and said, "No, this is a mating."
"Matching?" The head of the sect was stunned for a moment, a little incomprehensible. After thinking about it, he understood what I mean, "You mean, these little birds and this big bird are mateing in mixed seeds? But these are two completely different
Birds, and their body shapes are so different, how can they mate?"
"Do you know what a madam is?"
"Madam?" The head of the sect asked me for no reason why I suddenly mentioned this, "Madam is the one who runs a brothel."
"That's a joke. The old bustress is actually a kind of bird. In ancient times, some people discovered that the old bustress has only female birds and no male birds. They have to reproduce and mate with any other species of birds, and are thousands of birds.
The wife, so people use the "mamaid" to call the prostitute who can be a husband." I said lightly, "However, in fact, the ancients' statement about the mamaid was completely wrong. The mamaid actually has a male bird, but this
The species of birds have too many differences in their male and female individuals. The male bird is several times larger than the female bird, so it is mistaken for two different birds."
The head of the sect understood what I said and immediately understood what it meant: "So, you think these two birds are actually one kind of bird, but two genders have two body shapes, then which one do you think is a male bird
, Which one is a female bird?"
"According to the number of analysis, the small ones should be males and the big ones should be females, but it may be the opposite." I touched the surface of the rock and touched the pattern of the giant tree wrapped around the double-scale python, "Strange
. ""
"What's wrong?" The head of the sect also touched it, but couldn't figure it out, so he looked at me.
I frowned, then took a few steps back, picked up the charcoal and painted the unpainted part above and below the relief.
Soon the relief on the entire stone wall was presented as a whole. Just as I saw the panoramic view, I opened my mouth wide and was stunned.
"Look, what are these words?"
The head of the sect glanced at me and said, "I don't know this. You tell me, what is the word?"
In an instant, a sentence flashed through my mind. The words the leader said casually, and I was very surprised. "A tomb robber doesn't even know Qin Zhuan?"
I think this is impossible unless he is not a tomb robber at all. Hongyun will not be able to cultivate such an incompetent leader.
"Empress Dowager!" I was a little stunned when I looked at it, "This may be a huge discovery in history and archaeology."
"Empress Dowager? Who?" The head of the sect was also shocked.
"Zhao Ji!"
"Zhao Ji? What do you mean is this ancient tomb the tomb of Zhao Ji, the biological mother of Qin Shihuang?"
"I can't get it wrong!" I wanted to get some information from it, but after reading it a few times, I found that there were very few parts that could carefully identify the details, and there was no gain. There was no relief on the stone wall next to it.
"Zhao Ji's Tomb?" A hint of excitement flashed in the head's eyes, "So that's it
, is only one step away from the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang?"
"You are also looking for the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum?" My heart skipped a beat, "Why is the Hongyun Club who meets on a narrow road looking for the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum? This is not reasonable. At first, I just thought they happened to be here, but I didn't expect that he was looking for the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum too.
!”
When the head of the sect was asked by me, he immediately hid his eyes and said hesitantly: "This... what does this have to do with you? It's my own decision to find a tomb, and no one can control it!
”
"Okay." I took my mind back, and then I heard the voice of the head's subordinates coming from a distance, "President, what are you two doing?"
"What's the point!"
"Do you want to have a meal?"
When I saw the loophole, my stomach started to scream. My appetite defeated my desire for knowledge, so I had to pause.
When I walked to the stove, I smelled a long-lost scent of meat. The man named Jin Rong used a washbasin as a pot and hung it on a bonfire to barbecue.
The head of the sect intentionally did not eat with me, but talked closely with a few subordinates. I was able to take this opportunity to tell Hu Bing and the others about this important clue.
The emergence of Zhao Ji's tomb confirms an important conjecture, that the clues may really be directed at Qin Shihuang. As Qin Shihuang's biological mother, especially a woman who has great controversy in history, the clues hidden in this ancient tomb must be
Quite amazing.
Zhao Ji is the biological mother of Qin Shihuang, the wife of King Zhuangxiang of Qin. She was born in Handan, Zhao. Her real name has been lost. Zhao refers to her birthplace, Zhao, and Ji is the identity and title, also called "Niu Zhao". She is the one who is called "Niu Zhao".
The name "Zhao Ji" began with the long historical novel "Records of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty", so historians called her "Zhao Ji".
Zhao Ji was originally Lu Buwei's concubine, but was later presented to Qin's host Yiren. When Qin attacked Handan, Yiren and Lu Buwei fled back to Qin. Zhao Ji and his son Ying Zheng were placed under house arrest in Zhao. After Qin and Zhao reconciled,
Zhao Ji and his son finally returned to Qin State.
After Ying Zheng ascended the throne, Zhao Ji became the queen mother. Zhao Ji was unwilling to be lonely in the palace and had an affair with Lu Buwei and Lao Ai. With the support of Zhao Ji, Lao Ai formed a confrontation with Lu Buwei. In 238 BC, Lao Ai raised an army
Rebellion, fled after defeat, Zhao Ji was imprisoned in Yongcheng and later taken back to Xianyang. In 228 BC, Zhao Ji died and was posthumously honored as the empress dowager. She was buried with King Zhuangxiang of Qin in Zhiyang.
During the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Qin State transferred Ying Yiren, the son of Crown Prince Ying Zhu, and later changed his name to Ying Zichu and sent him to Zhao as a hostage. The king of An Guo had more than 20 sons, and Ying Yiren was born in the vassal and ranked among the middle.
The mother Xia Ji was not favored, and she was like duckweed and could not be independent. At that time, there was a conflict between Qin and Zhao, so Zhao did not treat Ying Yiren politely. He lived a difficult life and had a bleak future. Just when he was depressed and frustrated, he met
A businessman with a political vision, Lu Buwei, shrewdly realized that betting on this unsuccessful prince is more profitable than buying and selling jewelry.
Lu Buwei first tried to bribe the guards who supervised Ying Yiren to achieve the goal of making friends with Ying Yiren. Of course, the most important thing is to gain Ying Yiren's trust, which is not too difficult, because Yiren is in a foreign land and has no idea.
Dear, someone is willing to listen to him telling his suffering and imagine future political paths for him. He was so grateful that he soon regarded Lu Buwei as his confidant. Lu Buwei first bribed Mrs. Huayang's sister and Mrs. Huayang's younger brother because Mrs. Huayang was
An Guojun's favorite concubine, but he had no children. So Mrs. Huayang's sister and brother convinced Mrs. Huayang to accept Yiren as her adopted son, and blew the wind beside An Guojun, saying that Ying Yiren was filial and capable.
, He should be made the crown prince. An Guojun agreed to Mrs. Huayang's request, so that Lu Buwei took the first step.
Zhao Ji is the concubine of Lu Buwei, who is beautiful and good at dancing. Ying Yiren likes her very much when he sees her at the banquet at Lu Buwei's house, so he asks Lu Buwei to offer this girl to him. Lu Buwei presents Zhao Ji to Ying Yiren. Qin Zhaoxiang
In the 48th year of the king, Zhao Ji gave birth to a son, named Zheng, which was Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng.
In the 48th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Ying Zheng was born in Handan. At this time, the "Changping Battle" between Qin and Zhao had just ended. He was born in a chaos of war. Because Zhao lost more than 400,000 soldiers, Zhao
The country hated the Qin hostage, so the Ying Zheng and his family did not have a good life in Zhao.
In the fifty year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the Qin army attacked Handan and the troops were at the city. Zhao State decided to execute the Qin hostage Ying Yiren and his family. In the face of extreme emergency, Lu Buwei used a large sum of money to buy the guardians of Zhao State and Ying Yiren.
Escape from Handan City, entered the Qin army camp, and was escorted back to Xianyang. Zhao Ji and three-year-old Ying Zheng were left in Handan City, and were in danger of being killed many times. Fortunately, Zhao Ji was a wealthy family.
