Chapter 149 Evidence from the Longmen Grottoes... (Subscribe)
"Excuse me, Professor Zhou, what did you discover in the tomb of Shangguan Wan'er?"

"Unfortunately, after we opened Shangguan Wan'er's tomb, we found that basically most of the funerary objects in the tomb were stolen. However, there was still a precious epitaph left in the tomb. Through the epitaph, we found Many misunderstandings in previous understandings have been eliminated.”

"Professor Zhou, which aspect are you referring to?"

"For example, the question of whether Shangguan Wan'er is married or not is recorded in previous history books, and Shangguan Wan'er has never been married. But through the epitaph, it is discovered that Shangguan Wan'er became a talented person of Tang Gaozong at the age of 14, and later became Tang Zhongzong's Zhaorong. This shows that Shangguan Wan'er is not unmarried. Perhaps, the history books did not pay special attention to this aspect."

"In addition, the reason for Shangguan Wan'er's death is also slightly different from the previous historical records. According to the previous historical records, Shangguan Wan'er died of a coup. Although the epitaph is also the cause of the coup, the epitaph is more detailed."

"Another and most important discovery. The reason for the coup was that Empress Wei wanted to make her daughter the crown prince, but in the end she suffered a coup by Li Longji and died. From this, it can be inferred that Tang Zhongzong's death may also be It has something to do with Empress Wei."

three days later.

Professor Zhou's archaeological team held a press conference for Shangguan Wan'er.

The press conference introduced the content of this archeology and the latest discoveries.

but.

When a group of media interviewed Professor Zhou, they discovered something very shocking.

this content.

It's not a matter of Shangguan Wan'er being unmarried all her life.

Nor is it a matter of Shangguan Wan'er dying in a coup.

This content is about Empress Wei.

"Professor Zhou, what you said about Empress Wei wanting to make her daughter the crown prince is not in line with common sense."

Yes.

Let alone a group of reporters, even people with a little research into history, or people with common sense can find this problem.

Whether it is the emperor or the prince, it is impossible to be a woman.

Establishing a crown prince has never established a woman as a crown prince.

In this regard.

Professor Zhou also said: "This issue is indeed very worthy of research, and we are also inferring it from various aspects. In the future, we will discuss this issue with people from all walks of life in the field of history."

Although Professor Zhou is actually more inclined to the story Chen Fan told before.

But this kind of thing, Professor Zhou at this time is not easy to draw conclusions.

But Professor Zhou couldn't draw conclusions, so the reporters directly asked, "Professor Zhou, is this related to Wu Meiniang?"

"This is..."

Professor Zhou didn't know how to say: "So far, there is no historical proof for Wu Meiniang."

"However, Empress Wei suddenly wanted to make her daughter the heir apparent, isn't it too inconceivable?"

"I think these are all topics that we need to study in the future."

A press conference.

It can be said to be a bang, causing the entire tomb of Shangguan Wan'er to stir up waves again.

All the netizens, the audience, who had heard the story of Wu Meiniang told by Chen Fan before, were all excited.

"Brothers, brothers, big news, the Wu Meiniang that Teacher Chen Fan talked about may really exist in history."

"I'm sorry, it can't be, there are empresses in history, it's impossible."

"I thought it was impossible before, but now... it's really possible."

"Could there be any historical data?"

"There are no direct historical materials, but there are indirect ones. Everyone, everyone, take a look at Shangguan Wan'er's epitaph. It is clearly written in the epitaph that Empress Wei wants to make her daughter the crown prince. What does this mean?"

"Brother, does this mean that there is an empress?"

"Damn, can you turn your head around a bit. Think about it, if there is no precedent before this, would Empress Wei dare to do this?"

"This is not impossible. After all, there is always a precedent in the world."

"Get out... That's what you said. But let's analyze it. It must not be easy to dare to do this. First of all, he has to control the government. In addition, he has to have incomparable courage and means. From the perspective of Empress Wei's life, Although Empress Wei does have some means, her ability is not very good. Moreover, her control over the government is very general, and it is easy to kill her if there are opponents. This is why she wants to make her daughter the crown prince After that, Li Longji killed her within minutes."

"Then what do you mean?"

"That is to say, before this, there must be a reference object. Because of this reference object, Empress Wei will feel that if others can do it, so can she. But she overestimated her own strength, Ultimately failed."

That being said, it is actually understandable.

If there is no Wu Meiniang, no matter how capable Empress Wei is, it is probably impossible for her to think of making her daughter the crown prince.

It is precisely because of Wu Meiniang that Empress Wei wanted to defend against Wu Meiniang.

"Okay...this historical material is huge."

"That's right, if there really is Wu Meiniang, then we can't change our history. What, what does the archaeological research team say?"

"They have no conclusion for the time being. After all, there is no direct evidence for the time being, so they can't talk nonsense. However, when the reporter mentioned this issue at the press conference, Professor Zhou obviously knew about Wu Meiniang. He even wanted to Look for the answer in that direction.”

"My God, if this is true...then, then..."

"Also. Tell everyone another piece of gossip?"

"What gossip?"

"Do you know why Shangguan Wan'er's Mo's Cave was opened so quickly? Generally, a large tomb like this can't be completed in a month or two. Some even take half a year or even a year."

"Yeah, I'm also wondering, why is it over so quickly now?"

"This is because Teacher Chen Fan was asked to help."

"Teacher Chen Fan also went?"

"Of course. You think that Teacher Chen Fan is really a storyteller guide. At that time, the archaeological team had some difficulties in advancing, so the archaeological team found Teacher Chen Fan. What do you think..."

"What's the matter?"

"According to an anchor at the scene, Mr. Chen Fan directly found the location of Shangguan Wan'er's tomb through the kung fu of Zhou Tianxing's acupuncture points."

"No way……"

……

Regarding Chen Fan's use of the art of circling the sky and stars to fix the acupoints, it is too unreal, and many people regard him as gossip.

but.

Regarding whether there is Wu Meiniang and whether there is an eternal empress, it has aroused the interest of a series of people.

This series of people is not just folk history buffs.

It also includes those professional historical researchers, archaeologists, faqiu...historians...etc.

Although they know that the epitaph in Shangguan Wan'er's tomb is not yet completely sure whether there is a character named Wu Meiniang.

But I have to say that this epitaph is really very important.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for Empress Wei to make her daughter the crown prince.

One is that she doesn't have that much energy.

The other is also the most important, it is impossible for her to have such an idea all of a sudden.

This is the limitation of thought and the suppression of thousands of years of tradition.

It is impossible for any woman to want to be an emperor all of a sudden.

If you want.

At least she should have made various plans for these things before.

The appearance of Wu Meiniang is very reasonable.

Wu Meiniang went from entering the palace to becoming a monk, and then back to the palace, and then the two saints came to court...

It took Wu Meiniang several decades to become an emperor through the ages.

Without Wu Meiniang, it would be absolutely impossible for Empress Wei to have such an idea.

If Wu Meiniang really existed, everything would make sense.

Then.

That being the case.

Now it is enough to prove whether there is Wu Meiniang.

of course.

They know it too.

Why is there no mention of Wu Meiniang in history.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for Wu Meiniang to exist.

In normal times, they cannot be found.

Even if Chen Fan told the story of Wu Meiniang before, they only regarded it as a story.

It is impossible for you to tell a story, so I will go to the historical materials to find out if there is such a person.

But now with Shangguan Wan'er as a guess, they started to act.

They are very clear.

In many cases, history books are entirely for the rulers.

If Wu Meiniang really existed, then Datang's successor would have every reason to hide him.

Unfortunately.

Thousands of years have passed, and it is not easy to find historical materials about Wu Meiniang.

Even a group of historians, archaeologists... kept searching, but they couldn't find any important materials.

even.

People didn't even dare to mention Wu Meiniang when Shangguan Wan'er died, which also proves that basically the historical materials about Wu Meiniang were destroyed and destroyed.

but.

Nothing is unachievable.

With the participation of many people, a series of news about Wu Meiniang spread from time to time.

The first one is the Leshan Giant Buddha.

Or you may ask, is there any relationship between Leshan Giant Buddha and Wu Meiniang?

This is of course not directly related.

but.

In this, many people may not know that the Leshan Giant Buddha is actually not the Tathagata Buddha, but the Maitreya Buddha.

Yes.

In fact, before Wu Meiniang, although people in the Tang Dynasty also believed in Buddhism, they did not believe in Maitreya Buddha so much.

Previously.

Chen Fan said that in order to help Wu Meiniang become emperor, Wu Meiniang also sent people to make up various legends, saying that she was the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha.

Although there is no direct evidence for such a speculation, it suddenly opened up a series of brain holes for many people.

If Wu Meiniang really exists, can evidence be found from various Buddhist equivalents?

after all.

A series of emperors in the past dynasties will build large-scale construction projects. If Wu Meiniang likes Buddha so much, it is very likely that some clues can be found in the comparison of Buddha.

A group of researchers are running non-stop all over the country.

And finally.

In the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, some clues were discovered again.

This clue comes from a Buddha image called "Lushena Buddha".

This Buddha statue is 17 meters high, with a head height of 4 meters and ear length of 1.9 meters. It is said that it was built in the third year of Emperor Gaozong Xianheng of Tang Dynasty.

What kind of Buddha is the Lushena Buddha?
He is Sambhogakaya Buddha.

In other words, Shakyamuni Buddha is actually an external incarnation of Lushena Buddha.

In addition, the meaning of Lushena is also the meaning of light.

What is the name Wu Meiniang gave herself?
Wu Zhao.

What does Zhao mean?
That is, the sun and the moon are in the sky, and the light shines everywhere.

Does it have that smell?
In addition, if you look carefully at the Lushena Buddha, you will find that the Lushena Buddha is not quite the same as the series of Buddhas in Longmen.

Possibly, you will find that the Buddha of Lushana looks like a woman.

It is possible that it was carved from the likeness of a woman.

Of course, if you think that's far-fetched.

Then.

In a list of donations for the construction of the "Lushena Buddha", there is a donation of 2 guan, but no name is left on it.

And who is the donor who has not left his name?

This is the end of this program, please continue to watch tomorrow, the legendary story.
