Happy Tycoon

These nine tripods are all cast with exquisite patterns, and there are also many patterns of flowers, birds, fish and animals. Inside the tripods, there are many hieroglyphic inscriptions that are very clear but Yang Jing doesn't know any of them.

These inscriptions lifted Yang Jing's spirits.

The value of a bronze tripod does not lie in its size, but in whether there are inscriptions on the tripod or not, and in how many inscriptions there are. The Simuwu Dafang Ding is known as the No. 1 bronze in China, mainly because it is too big, but in terms of real archaeological value, this Ding is far inferior to the Maogong Ding with 499 inscriptions and the Dafang Ding with 290 inscriptions. Ke Ding.

Although the nine tripods in front of us are not bronze tripods from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, but imitated by Wu Zetian, the nine tripods themselves are imitations of the famous Dayu Jiuding, and each tripod has more than 500 inscriptions inside. , the inside of the largest Yuzhou tripod has more than 900 inscriptions.

Yang Jing didn't know any of these inscriptions, but Yang Jing knew that these inscriptions were obviously not the Zhong Ding Wen of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, but most likely the Xia Dynasty characters used in the early Xia Dynasty, that is, the early glyphs of Oracle Bone Inscriptions.

Yang Jing also didn't know where Wu Zetian got these early Xia Dynasty characters and inscribed them in the tripod, but Wu Zetian must have spent a lot of manpower and material resources to imitate Jiuding. Jiuding, the text in Jiuding may be different from the real Jiuding inscription, but it is definitely not much different.

The value of these inscriptions is inestimable!

Moreover, the nine tripods, even the smaller eight tripods, are a bit larger than the Simuwu Dafang Ding. As for the largest Yuzhou tripod, Yang Jing estimates that the weight of this tripod must be at least two tons!

Although these nine tripods are not bronze tripods from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, just because of this head, just this inscription, and just because they are imitations of Dayu Jiuding's name, once these nine tripods appear, the sensation will definitely be caused. It will not be under the Jade Seal of Chuanguo there.

It's just that Yang Jing is also very clear that once the imitation Jiuding appears, he probably won't be able to keep the Jiuding.

The symbolic meaning of this thing is too great, even if it is a counterfeit, the country will never allow this kind of thing to be lost among the people.

What do you want to do? It is also the Jade Seal of Chuanguo and the Jade Seal of the Great Yu, do you want to sit in this world?

Whether it is Chuan Guoxi or Jiuding, they must not be kept privately! Who dares to take these two things, the country will definitely have such an idea!

Therefore, it is better to take the initiative to hand in these two things! Save yourself trouble!

Although Yang Jing is no longer a Chinese in name, he has never regarded himself as a foreigner. Yang Jing never thought of taking Chuan Guoxi and Jiuding out of the country and taking them for himself.

This thing is China's most precious national weapon, as long as it is a descendant of China, it will not do such a thing like having a son without a fart. Such a treasure can only and must stay in China!

The combined weight of the nine tripods was astonishing, and Yang Jing couldn't figure out how the nine tripods were transported here. But think about those craftsmen who can make Dragon Breaking Stones weighing dozens of tons. Although these tripods are heavy, they can't help them.

But these tripods are nothing to Yang Jing, he only needs to touch the nine tripods with his left hand, and the nine tripods will obediently enter the storage space immediately.

Looking at the nine tripods in the space according to their original positions, and the Yuzhou Jade Seal floating on the top of the largest Yuzhou tripod, Yang Jing said that it would be a lie if he was not proud.

He also didn't expect that it was just a tomb of Wu Zetian, and two of the most important items in Chinese legends were found in it. Even if the Jiuding was imitated by Wu Zetian, in modern times, it is more important than any other cultural relics except Chuan Guoxie. A valuable national weapon.

Moving his consciousness out of the space, Yang Jing began to focus on the twelve golden men again.

Obviously, this is another legendary item imitated by Her Majesty Empress Wu Zetian.

Twelve golden people, as long as this name is mentioned, the world will definitely associate it with Qin Shihuang, the emperor of the ages.

According to legend, after Qin Shihuang ruled the world, in order to prevent anyone from rebelling against him, he put away all the weapons in the world and cast twelve huge bronze figures. Because copper and gold are similar in color, these twelve bronze figures People are also called Twelve Golden People.

Of course, there are also legends that after Qin Shihuang ruled the world, he melted the nine cauldrons of Dayu and cast them into twelve golden men to suppress the fate of the country. However, this legend is obviously unrealistic. After Qin Shihuang won the world, he wished to find the legendary Dayu Jiuding to prove that it was God's permission to win the world. How could he melt the Dayu Jiuding to cast the useless ten Two gold people? This is simply throwing everything away.

This is like after Zhao Kuangyin or Zhu Yuanzhang won the world, they obviously owned the Chuan Guoxi, but they smashed the Chuan Guoxi and made other seals. That is absolutely impossible.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Qin Shihuang to melt the nine tripods of Dayu to cast twelve golden men.

These twelve golden men are not as big as the legendary Qin Twelve Golden Men, they are only life-sized, which is about 1.8 meters.

Although there is no exact size and weight for the legendary Qin Twelve Golden Men, historians have roughly inferred the size and weight of the Qin Twelve Golden Men based on various historical records.

According to various historical records, the weight of the twelve golden men in Qin Dynasty is different. The smallest weight should be 30 tons, while the largest weight is more than 80 tons. It is a solid golden man made of pure gold, and I am afraid it is not as heavy as the lightest golden man among the twelve golden men of Qin Dynasty.

Moreover, according to historical records, although the heights of the twelve golden men of the Qin Dynasty vary in size, the shortest one among them is also three feet high, which is about eight meters high, and the tallest one is five feet high, which is converted into a modern one. The unit of measurement is a height close to fourteen meters.

And the twelve golden men in front of him are all the same height, obviously they are not the twelve golden men of Qin Dynasty.

As for posture, these twelve golden men are similar to the legendary Qin Twelve Golden Men, standing and sitting. Among them, seven golden figures are standing, and five golden figures are in a sitting posture.

This shape is also in line with historical records. According to historical records, after Wang Mang usurped power, he dreamed of five golden men standing up, which shows that at least five of the twelve golden men in Qin Dynasty were sitting and standing.

Oh, what a pity! Whether it's the Jiuding or the Twelve Golden Men, they were all imitated by Her Majesty the Empress. If it's true, Yang Jing said to himself, and he himself was startled by his own words. one jump.

Whether it is Dayu Jiuding or the Twelve Golden Men, if they are all true, then once they appear in modern times, they will be enough to set off stormy waves.

Needless to say, Dayu Jiuding, that thing was originally the earliest symbol of China, and its importance cannot be overstated. As for the Twelve Golden Men, although they are not as important as Dayu's Jiuding, when Qin Shihuang received soldiers from all over the world to cast these twelve golden men, it was actually for the purpose of using these twelve golden men to suppress the fate of the country. At the same time, Qin Shihuang created the Chuanguo Yuxi. It can be said that the Chuanguo Yuxi, combined with the Twelve Golden Men, is definitely a sharp weapon to suppress the fate of the country.

It's a pity that Qin Shihuang was great all his life, but the son he gave birth to was not as good as bullshit. As a result, the great rivers and mountains were directly ruined by his son. Even if there were Chuanguo Yuxi and the Twelve Golden Men to suppress the national fortune, they would not be able to hold back Qin Ershi's misfortune ah

Shaking his head, Yang Jing put away some messy thoughts, and reached out to touch one of the sitting golden figures.

The answer given by Shengjie did not disappoint Yang Jing.

The Twelve Golden Men of Wu Zhou, Wu Zetian, 700 years old.

Sure enough, it's the Qin Twelve Golden Man imitated by Wu Zetian! Yang Jing shook his head slightly.

These twelve golden men are almost 1.8 meters tall, and the whole body is made of solid gold, not hollow like the twelve golden men of Qin Dynasty.

There is a very simple way to calculate the volume of the human body, that is, divide the weight by one thousand. A person who is 1.8 meters tall, based on the weight of 85 kilograms, the volume of this golden man is about 0.085 cubic meters, and the specific gravity of gold is 19.26, that is to say, the weight of this golden man is about 1.6 tons , the twelve golden men add up to less than twenty tons.

Twenty tons of gold, although the purity is not very high, is definitely a remarkable figure.

Although Wu Zetian killed the Tang clan before and after her reign, and promoted cruel official politics, she was clear and judgmental, multi-power strategy, and capable of employing people, which made virtuous talents emerge in large numbers. He also rewarded farming and mulberry, reformed the administration of officials, and paid attention to the selection of talents. He can definitely be regarded as a generation of Mingjun.

But people are people after all, even Wu Zetian, in his later years, gradually became extravagant and arbitrary, and there were a lot of bad governance.

The Twelve Golden Men were cast with almost twenty tons of gold, which is a great proof.

In 700 AD, when Wu Zetian was seventy-seven years old, it was also Wu Zetian's old age. During this period, Wu Zetian used almost 20 tons of gold to cast these twelve golden figures, and prepared to be buried for herself, which is enough to show that Wu Zetian was extravagant in his later years.

In that era, even in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, it might not be an easy task to produce nearly 20 tons of gold all at once! However, Wu Zetian did just that.

But it's no wonder if you think about it, Wu Zetian is a generation of empress after all, and there has never been an empress in the history of China before her. And Wu Zetian herself knew that her throne was not right, so she racked her brains to cast Jiuding and Twelve Golden Men.

She probably also knows that once she dies, everything in her life will no longer exist. Since the things in life will not exist, then you can continue to be the emperor in the underworld after death, then the Jiuding and Twelve Golden People are the best funeral objects, they can accompany you to the underworld and still help you suppress the fate of the country

This is probably the fundamental reason why Her Majesty Empress Wu Zetian imitated Dayu Jiuding and Twelve Golden Men.
