Chapter 90

It is said that Liu He buried himself with a golden silk glazed mat, which not only showed his noble status, but also did not overstep.

However, although Liu He did not overstep, that is, he did not overstep in terms of law, but what about regulation?
He buried himself with a golden silk glazed mat. This kind of regulation can also be said to be a standard. Isn't it higher than the emperor who used the golden jade robe?

If he did this, wouldn't he be afraid that the imperial court would issue a decree to convict him?

Let’s not talk about this for now, let’s first listen to what the street vendor said:

"Although Liu He didn't overstep on the golden silk glazed mat, the appearance of the goose-shaped pendant means that he has overstepped the regulations of the marquis' tomb."

"Everyone, in Liu He's tomb, not only one piece of scorpion-shaped pendant was unearthed, but three pieces! Three pieces of quilt-shaped pendant!"

As the vendor spoke, he also raised three fingers, using exaggerated movements to attract the attention of tourists.

"If the emperor knew that Liu He was so overbearing, he might send someone to Jiangxi to dig up Liu He's tomb, and then flog the corpse for three days."

"But the fact is just the opposite. Not only did the imperial court not know about it, but when Liu He was buried, they sent people to bring a lot of things!"

"Strange, isn't it?" the vendor spread his hands and said.

It's really strange... Who is the emperor, can there be things that the emperor doesn't know?

Or...is there something else hidden here?

But at this stall, the vendor stopped talking about it, but changed the subject and talked about horseshoe gold:

"As we have said before, a large amount of horseshoe gold was unearthed in Liu He's tomb, so what is the function of the horseshoe gold?"

"First of all, horseshoe gold is not a currency in circulation, it is just a weighing currency, and it can only be used by the emperor or authorized personnel."

"We have already said this, but the horseshoe gold has another important function, and that is to use it as a year-old tribute."

"What is Sui Gong? It means that the princes have to pay tribute to the emperor with some treasures and gifts every year. It is called Sui Gong."

"In the Han Dynasty, it was a relatively common thing for princes to pay tribute to the emperor with gold. Later, some princes, in order to express their...just further respect, began to turn gold into horseshoe gold and then hand it over."

"And what about the gold horseshoe in Liu He's tomb? Experts say that the gold horseshoe in Liu He's tomb is likely to be used as a year-old tribute!"

"However, Liu He doesn't know what he thinks. He didn't give the horseshoe gold to the court, but he was buried with him."

"Experts have a more reasonable explanation for this, that is, didn't Liu He be the emperor before? Although he was abolished by Huo Guang later."

"But he was an emperor, to prove...or to show off! He also used the rule that horseshoe gold can only be used by emperors."

"Although he is useless to use the gold-threaded jade clothes that can only be used by emperors, he has used a higher-grade gold-threaded glazed mat than the golden-threaded jade clothes!"

"Then there is the goose-shaped pendant, which is used by the emperor. It is usually worn on the left and right sides of the waist, one on each side."

"But what about Liu He, three! He buried himself with three pendants. Do these signs indicate that he was an emperor before?"

Why!Not to mention, Jiang Xiaoli felt quite reasonable after hearing what the vendor said!

Maybe it was because Liu He was very dissatisfied with being deposed as the emperor, so after his death, he wanted to enjoy the treatment of the emperor again.

That's why he stuffed so much horseshoe gold into his tomb, and that's why he used the golden silk glazed mat, so he buried himself with three goose-shaped pendants.

Could it be that Liu He was buried on such a large scale, did the court really not hear any news?

Come!Listen to what the street vendor said: "Liu He's tomb is extremely luxurious! It's not much worse than the emperor's tomb!"

"Then when we get here, some people may ask, isn't Liu He afraid of being condemned by the imperial court for such a blatant violation of the burial regulations?"

"Of course he is afraid! But why do he still do it?"

"First, in order to express my former identity, that is, my identity as an emperor, although it was abolished later."

"Secondly, Liu Xun, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty at that time, was a relatively gentle emperor, and he also conferred the title of Marquis of Haihun to Liu He. Even if Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty knew about it, he probably wouldn't make any big moves. "

"Based on this, Liu He naturally made up his mind. Anyway, he is dead. If he is found out, then find out!"

"Therefore, Liu He used this kind of regulations to be buried. Of course, these are speculations by experts, not the truth."

"Besides, so much time has passed, and the truth of the facts can no longer be verified. I have told you so much, and I think you, in your heart, already have your own ideas, right?"

After speaking, the vendor sat down on the stool and let out a long sigh of relief, as if relieved of a heavy burden.

However, for Jiang Xiaoli... this... is that the end?I haven't listened to it yet!
But I can’t force the vendor to continue talking. Since I’ve finished talking, let’s finish talking!

I saw the vendor drank his saliva, and then began to yell for business: "Well, I've been telling you all for so long, the big guy will enjoy it, buy a small item and go back as a souvenir..."

Why!Needless to say, after a while of "hard work" by the vendors, the tourists, who were dismissive just now, are scrambling to buy things from the vendors.

When Jiang Xiaoli saw this scene, he naturally couldn't lag behind, he had learned a lot from what the vendor said, so let's buy something to show his gratitude!

So Jiang Xiaoli turned to look at Teacher Miao, before he could speak, Teacher Miao suddenly pulled him forward, and said as he walked:

"He said it so hard, let's buy two too."

It seems that Teacher Miao's thoughts are the same as his own, which is very good!
So Jiang Xiaoli and Mr. Miao approached the stall and looked at it for a while. In the end, Jiang Xiaoli still took a fancy to a black stone with engraved patterns, and asked:
"Boss, how much does this cost?"

The boss is also straightforward, and he gave a price straightforwardly: "Today's discount, let's give it 18!"

Fortunately, it is not too expensive.

Teacher Miao bought two western sun hats and two sunglasses, and finally paid for it, including Jiang Xiaoli's stone.

Before leaving, the vendor suddenly yelled, "Hey! Forgot! There's a little story I haven't told you!"

As soon as he heard that there was still a short story, Jiang Xiaoli turned around immediately, his eyes were full of excitement, he was looking forward to the next short story that the vendor would tell.
