I Excavated an Emperor to Become a Wife.

"Selling cultural relics?"

People who study archeology naturally know what is called reselling cultural relics, such as stone statues and bronze wares. No matter whether they are auctioned or privately traded, the state explicitly prohibits such artifacts. For example, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the First Emperor have not been destroyed for decades It is because the state vigorously protects and strictly prohibits trading.Unearthed cultural relics, such as the tomb or imperial tomb of a prince, you steal it, and then trade the newly unearthed cultural relics with the proceeds of the tomb robbery, no matter whether it is public or private transactions.

But it does not mean that all cultural relics cannot be bought and sold, such as porcelain, gold and silverware, wooden furniture, etc., as well as cultural relics that are clearly circulated in the world and passed down in an orderly manner.Such things can be bought and sold freely.Therefore, many tomb robbers always steal items through the mouth of their ancestors, taking advantage of legal loopholes and using them for normal transactions.

Tan Cheng also guessed that what Wei Bofei wanted to buy was not something that was normally circulated, but the seller said that Jinzhong was investigating reselling cultural relics, and even mentioned that the transaction time was changed. It is estimated that the investigation is very strict. He would check it every now and then. Tan Cheng guessed that something happened there recently before there was a large-scale inspection.

Perhaps some important cultural relic was lost.

"When will the seller change the time?" Tan Cheng asked after thinking about it.

Wei Bofei sighed, "He said it was not certain, because he didn't know when the inspection would be over. I guess the thing he took was a bit tricky. He said he would call me after the inspection, no later than the eighth."

"Troublesome? The thing he's going to sell you isn't the same copperware as last time?" If it's still Daxu's thing, then it's probably very likely to be treated as a fake, so it shouldn't be troublesome.

"I don't know what the situation is. The thing he is going to give me is not the same cup as last time, but it is still copper. He said that it came from the same place as last time, and the specifics can only be seen everywhere. .”

Tan Cheng frowned, "Then we can only ask at that time."

But if it takes too long, how many days will I have to wait in Jinzhong?Tan Cheng thought about it, or he could go to Pingyao County to have a look first, step on a little bit first, and then go there when the seller gets in touch.

"Then since the fair is postponed, my companion and I will go to the ancient city of Pingyao for two days first. When the time comes, the seller will contact you. You can call me again. Pingyao is not far from Jinzhong, and the train will arrive in an hour."

In fact, Wei Bofei's trip this time was to buy another one from the person who sold his wine bottle last time. When the time was suddenly delayed, he couldn't remember where to go. He was also tempted by Tan Cheng's mention of going to the ancient city of Pingyao. But at the age of 28 and nine, just married, he really wants to go around the age. He went to the ancient city of Pingyao on a business trip last time. This time he really wanted to see the Xuankong Temple in Datong, Shanxi, so he simply said: "Okay, I also want to visit the Xuankong Temple, I will transfer to Yuncheng and then we will contact you."

"it is good."

It's settled, Tan Cheng and Wu Hai set off for Pingyao after the three of them arrived in Yuncheng and parted ways.

Some people compare the ancient city of Pingyao like this: "It is a Gone with the Wind with a profound heritage, weathering the wind and rain but not being surprised. The loneliness left after the glory of Yao once supported half of China's business. No matter how many ups and downs it has experienced, it is as if Smile meaningfully in history..."

The thousand-year-old city has a thousand-year history of the city wall. It can be seen that the history of Pingyao Ancient City is unmatched by other ancient cities in China.

This is also Wu Hai's first visit to Pingyao, and he finally came here. As an archaeologist, he naturally wanted to see the Pingyao City Wall built in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

"It is said that it was during the period of King Xuan of Zhou. According to legend, it was built by Yin Jifu, an important minister at that time, when he was stationed in the army. It is said that the construction of the ancient city of Pingyao was full of mysteries. When it was built, it was built with the meaning of "auspicious and long life" of the tortoise, and it was built as "turtle". From a bird's-eye view of the ancient city, you can see that the south gate is the head of Yingxun Gate, which is like the eyes of a turtle; The four urns face each other. And this city has a history of more than 2800 years and has undergone 26 repairs." Wu Hai stood at the foot of the towering city wall and said: "But what is left now is rebuilt in the third year of Ming Hongwu, and it is better. The masonry is still contemporary."

Hearing Wu Hai say that it was built during the period of King Xuan of Zhou, Tan Cheng laughed out loud. He remembered that Su Jingmo had said that the one built by King Xuan of Zhou was long gone. The ancient cities during the reign of King Xuan were all newly built by the previous dynasty.

Seeing Tan Cheng laughing, Wu Hai thought that he had said something wrong, and was laughed at by Tan Cheng, so he couldn't hold back his face for a while.

"what's so funny?"

"No……"

It is true that Tan Cheng was not laughing at Wu Hai. They also knew from the book about the legend of King Xuan this week. In fact, there was no trace of the city wall from more than 2000 years ago. He also lost face in front of Su Jingmo. Yes... so many years ago, modern people's estimates will always have too many errors.

However, Wu Hai didn't know what Tan Cheng thought. He thought Tan Cheng was perfunctory, so he said angrily:

"I just don't like your temper, you always half-speak, you make others look stupid than you!"

"No, I didn't mean that."

"Then make it clear!"

Wu Hai has a strong temper and speaks straightforwardly. Tan Cheng is very clear, otherwise, in the meeting held in the research room after Jiang Bo's accident, Wu Hai would not have stood up and said what everyone wanted to say. He, Tan Cheng, was talking nonsense, and he was probably a criminal suspect.

"I was thinking of a friend, um... He did some research on this, and said that apart from what was written in the later book, there is actually no evidence to prove that the city was built in the period of King Xuan of Zhou. I said a lot at the time, but it made him laugh Yes. As soon as you mentioned it, I remembered what happened at that time, and I couldn't help laughing."

After Tan Cheng explained, Wu Hai felt relieved and stopped worrying, "It's fine if you said so earlier," Wu Hai looked at Tan Cheng at this point, "I said why your words have changed recently. Notice how you speak in a polite way, such as 'written in a book', 'he made him laugh', you must not have watched too many TV dramas, and you can't even understand normal speech."

When Wu Hai said this, Tan Cheng also noticed that it was a bit strange. He was stunned for a while, and he didn't know how to explain it. He might have been affected by it after staying with Su Jing for a long time. They are archaeologists. , he was busy with his work in the pit and didn't talk very well, and he was very busy recently. Speaking of which, in the past few months, he and Su Jingmo probably talked more than he and his colleagues combined. It would be strange not to be influenced by Su Jingmo's authentic ancient accent.

"You can still watch that kind of TV series that adapts history like that? Even the way of speaking is affected." Tan Cheng didn't deny it, and Wu Hai took it as his acquiescence. Thinking of those TV series whose history has been tampered with beyond recognition, Wu Hai watched Tan Cheng's eyes were a little different, "It's better to watch less of that kind of drama, or you'll be wasted after watching your history class."

Wu Hai's words with a little earnestness really made Tan Cheng dumbfounded, but what else could he do? He had already said all these words, but he couldn't swallow them back, and he couldn't find any good excuses to explain them, so he could only grit his teeth Should be down.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, last time I found a picture on the stone wall of an ear chamber in the tomb." He didn't tell Wu Hai and Zhang Jun that the capital city of Daxu was right next to Pingyao Son, thinking of the poem Su Jingmo wrote on the paper that day, Tan Cheng continued: "There is a poem on the picture, 'Nine days of prosperity exist in the central capital, gold and jade go around the Fen River', which refers to the central capital and the Fen River. , I thought that Pingyao beside the Fen River was called the Central Capital in the Han Dynasty. Perhaps the so-called Daxu Capital City used to be in this area, and the person who resold the bronze wine bottle to Wei Bofei was in Jinzhong In this piece of action, I guessed that there might really be something left here."

Hearing this, Wu Hai also understood the purpose of Tan Cheng's coming here, "You want to search to see if you can find any traces of the existence of that Daxu? However, if this dynasty really existed, he disappeared from history. Of course, it would not be so easy to find out, otherwise, after more than 1000 years, no one and no historians have made guesses?"

"I don't think no one has guessed, but these guesses have not been recorded in the official history. Our archeology can only rely on the official history while looking for the 'evidence' that has survived to this day. No one knows what happened in the past. According to historical records, no matter how many things there are, they can only be regarded as legends. Do you still remember the article on the Internet that speculates about the tomb of Ninghua Village? The above is not about the sentence "Puhuang drank the water of Chang'an, Xuanyuan rides the wind to Jingzhao" 'Have you speculated?"

"Remember, that post was quite right. Do you think there are still problems?"

Looking at Wu Hai, Tan Cheng nodded, "The article said that the person who wrote this poem was afraid that the court at that time would not dare to say that the Puhuang army died in the tomb of Ninghua Village because of tomb robbery, and that Xuanyuan should refer to it. It is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I agree with the speculation in the first sentence, but I don’t think so in the second sentence. Xuanyuan was originally the first emperor in Chinese legends and myths. There is only one legendary thing in the two sentences of this poem. I don’t think it’s written The person who wrote this verse would use legends to refer to the real emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Since Xuanyuan is a legend, then this person must think that the person in the tomb was not written in the history books. Jingzhao is the title of Chang’an in the Tang Dynasty, almost It happened 600 years ago, which coincides with the time of the tomb of Ninghua Village, I guess the person who wrote this poem really went to the tomb of Ninghua Village..."
