Archaeological work cannot be completed overnight.

What's more, it is difficult to find a few large tombs of this level in China.

Watching the staff clean up the entrance of the mausoleum, Professor Wang took Yang Lei back to the camp.

"Contact the old guys in the capital, this discovery is not trivial!"

"There is an emergency meeting!"

As soon as Professor Wang returned to the camp, he immediately gave instructions to Yang Lei.

Seeing this, Yang Lei immediately contacted the Beijing Cultural Relics Bureau.

Professor Wang sat aside and looked at a few photos on his mobile phone.

That is the inscription on the stone tablet taken when it was underground.

These photos are enough to make the Chinese archaeological community tremble.

......

Not long after, the video conference was connected.

A bunch of old men in their 70s and [-]s gathered together on one screen, all of them looked impatient.

"I said, Old Wang, what are you asking us to do? My report hasn't been approved yet!"

"Where are you? Did you go out to work?"

"Old Wang, you haven't tossed enough when you were young, you still go to homework when you are an old bone."

Listening to the chatter of these old men, Yang Lei suddenly had a headache.

These are the pillars of the Chinese archaeological field.

How dare he interrupt casually.

He quickly handed the tablet to Professor Wang.

Professor Wang certainly heard the complaints of these old friends.

He took the tablet and said with a smile.

"Old fellows, you should have heard that I am coming to the southwest, right?"

"Here...is a royal tomb of the Tang Dynasty!"

Chapter 4 Video Connection, King Jing's Life

The camp outside the tomb of King Jing on Fox Mountain.

As Professor Wang's voice fell, the video conference was suddenly silent.

However, the next second.

"Wangling!? Old Wang, don't lie to us!"

"What level of royal tomb!?"

"Has it been stolen? Has it been stolen!"

"What's the situation inside, can you open the tomb?"

"What period was it in the Tang Dynasty? Don't be a poor prince in a backcountry."

"If the standard of the royal tomb is too low, or if it is stolen and excavated too much, I'm afraid there will be nothing valuable to discover."

"Say it quickly! We are so anxious to death!"

Looking at the anxious old friends in the video conference, Professor Wang smiled mysteriously.

"The scale of this royal tomb is comparable to the imperial tomb!"

......

"What!? Comparable to the imperial mausoleum!?"

"Old Wang...are you sure you're not joking?"

"Don't talk about it, how could it be comparable to the imperial mausoleum, how could the emperor of the Tang Dynasty allow a prince to do this."

Listening to their rebuttals, Wang Zhenhua smiled even more happily.

Then he sent the photo of the stele and the photo of the royal tomb taken underground to the chat box in the video conference room.

"Just look at this and you'll know."

The old professors stopped talking immediately and looked at the photos intently.

They can understand the content on the stele, so naturally there is no need for Professor Wang to explain too much.

......

The complexion changes of several old professors were wonderful.

Just now they were still questioning Wang Zhenhua's discovery of the Tomb of the Tang Dynasty, but now all of them are silent.

But the shock on their faces was hard to hide.

"This... everything described on this stele is true!?"

"Old Wang, you are not ashamed, why don't you show us fantasy!?"

The same tone and tone as the original staff.

Several old professors obviously felt that the description on the stele was too fantasy.

This is like in Li Bai's poem, "Killing a person in ten steps, never staying behind for a thousand miles" is true!

"How is it? Do you know how significant this tomb is now?"

Professor Wang looked at the members of the archaeological team who were still working not far away, and calmly asked the professors in the meeting.

"Everyone, this royal tomb was discovered by two tomb robbers."

"So I hope everyone can also be mentally prepared."

"Probably... this stele is our most important discovery."

......

Professor Wang's words immediately poured a basin of cold water on the heads of the professors.

Since this royal tomb was discovered by tomb robbers, maybe...

There is nothing left in it.

With such a large-scale royal tomb, I am afraid that the number of antiques inside is astonishing.

However, this is based on the fact that it has not been visited by tomb robbers.

If those soil mice got in, there would be nothing left except what they couldn't take away.

"Ah... what a beautiful Tang Dynasty tomb!"

"Old Wang, speed up the work process, maybe... there are still some things left."

"Be careful not to damage it! If you break something, you won't be able to spare you, old boy!"

Professor Wang waved his hand at the camera.

"Okay, everyone, don't rush, you all know that archaeological excavations must not be rushed."

......

Professor Wang's words are also clear to several other professors.

Of course, a mausoleum of this level cannot be excavated overnight.

What's more, according to the inscriptions, the owner of this tomb is a king with a different surname who made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty during the Anshi Rebellion.

A random burial object found in his tomb may be a rare treasure!

Although the few old men who had a video with Professor Wang were very itchy, they still didn't urge them anymore. Instead, they discussed some issues related to this mausoleum.

"If the records on the tombstone are true, why is there no relevant historical data about the 'Anshi Rebellion' in the historical records?"

"Such a hero who saved the world, even if he didn't appear in the official history, can't he also be absent in the miscellaneous notes of unofficial history?"

"Besides, the emperor has personally proclaimed the title of king, but he is not recorded in the history books. Is this reasonable?"

"Perhaps, it's because the fact that Prince Jing killed [-] enemies by himself is too shocking."

"According to the tombstone records, perhaps only some members of the royal family saw the battle that year..."

"From this point of view, perhaps the Tang royal family is afraid of something, so they are unwilling to make this matter public, and even erase the achievements of this Prince Jing."

"Afraid that the imperial power will be affected!?"

......

After some speculation, the professors seemed to understand something.

In the troubled times of the Tang Dynasty, if the story of King Jing spread.

It is likely to cause greater turmoil.

Maybe there will be various rebels wanting to "side the Qing emperor" in the name of Prince Jing.

There are heroes in troubled times, but the hero that Datang wants is not King Jing.

But their royal family's "own people".

So everything about Prince Jing was buried in his mausoleum.

Thinking of this, even Professor Wang's heart was surging.

"If the situation inside Prince Jing's tomb is normal, I will call a press conference immediately tomorrow!"

"This will be a discovery that is enough to revise the history books of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Old fellows, this meeting is here first!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Zhenhua ended the video conference without waiting for the response of the old professors in the Chinese archaeological field.

......

"Prepare to exhaust, everyone speed up!"

Wang Zhenhua looked at the similar mausoleum passage that had already been built.

In those cloudy old eyes, there was an undisguised fanaticism.

He was the first batch to arrive here, and many staff members came one after another.

All the places around where tents can be pitched are already filled with tents.

This time, Wang Zhenhua planned to go to the grave as quickly as possible.

One reason is that this place was discovered by tomb robbers, so it cannot be ruled out that it may have been patronized long ago.

The second reason was that he wanted to know what the legendary Prince Jing would leave behind after his death.

......

In the cemetery, the staff quickly installed the exhaust device.

Because the mausoleum is buried underground all year round, it is impossible for the air inside to breathe normally.

So you have to wait for a while before you can enter.

Impatient, Wang Zhenhua directly chose the fastest exhaust machine.

Amidst a roar, the exhaust pipe of the machine continuously pumped out the air in the mausoleum.

At the same time, fresh air is injected into the other end.

Not long after, the exhaust work has been done.

Wang Zhenhua looked at the gradually darkening sky and said firmly.

"Get ready to enter Prince Jing's Tomb!"

......

a few hours later.
