Chapter 268 Strange mural!Empress Mausoleum?
After taking out all the cultural relics in the coffin, Liu Jingfeng asked: "Brother Lin, is there anything else you want to check?"
They had already taken away all the characters that could be seen, but they also knew that Lin Ran was very interested in archeology.
I want to ask for his opinion.
"No more." Lin Ran shook his head. Only the corpse and his cloth pillow were left in the coffin, which had lost its research value.
Liu Jingfeng waved his hand, and the two subordinates worked together to put the copper cover back on.
The items in the mausoleum have been basically explored, but they are still reluctant to leave.
The key to the other door should be in the main tomb.
They started searching on the walls.
There are many murals on the walls of the tomb in this chamber, including the female emperor?
This mural caught Lin Ran's attention.
Murals are usually related to the lives of characters. Whether they are ladies or battles on the battlefield, they are all portrayals of Li Ji's life.
In the history of China, there was only one female emperor.
Of course it’s Wu Zetian!
In the sixth year of Yonghui, after a palace battle, Wu Zetian finally defeated Queen Wang and became the queen.
When the empress was abolished, serious differences arose between Tang Gaozong and the two ministers Chang Sun Wuji and Chu Suiliang.
At that time, Changsun Wuji controlled the government. Although Tang Gaozong was the emperor, he had no say in this matter.
Therefore, the ministers all supported Sun Wuji.
Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian fell into an isolated and helpless situation.
At this time, Tang Gaozong thought of Li Ji and asked him for help.
Li Ji did not directly state his position clearly, but said calmly: "This is His Majesty's family matter, why bother asking outsiders?"
A word to awaken the dreamer.
Tang Gaozong immediately made up his mind to abolish Queen Wang and make Wu Meiniang the new queen.
This is also the first time that Tang High School has trusted Li Ji.
Li Shimin warned him as early as when he was still alive.
"Li Ji is a man who knows how to repay kindness, but if you are not kind to him, he may not obey."
"So, I will demote him first and let him go. After I die, you can recruit him back as a servant, and he will be favored by you."
"Of course, if he doesn't want to come back, you kill him immediately."
This period of history was recorded in the books of the Later Tang Dynasty. There were not many scholars in this era, and even fewer knew about this period of history.
It can only be said that the royal family has no family ties!
Even though he was kind to Wu Zetian and supported him to rise to power.
After the death of Tang Gaozong, Wu Zetian ascended to the throne and became the first female emperor of China.
It caused a huge sensation in the court. Even Li Ji's descendants firmly stood on the front line of anti-militancy.
After quelling the civil strife, Wu Zetian sent people to dig Li Ji out of his grave and hang him on the city wall for public display.
This is why the body in the coffin looks somewhat scarred.
Lin Ran suddenly remembered something.
Could it be that behind the stone gate is the tomb of the Empress that has never been discovered?
In his previous life, when Li Ji's tomb was discovered, it had been destroyed and was no longer open to the public.
Now that I'm inside the tomb, I can clearly see how complex the structure inside is.
There is absolutely no problem in calling it the Top Ten Tombs of China.
"Master Zhenbao." Lin Ran called to Zhenbao who was studying the structure of the bottom of the coffin.
"What's wrong?" Zhenbao stood up, and the others, like him, turned their attention to Lin Ran.
"Li Ji never supported Wu Zetian. This mural is somewhat unusual." Lin Ran said his discovery.
This aroused Zhenbao's interest. He put down the tools in his hands and walked quickly to the mural.
Since the mural was very large, he needed treasure to help him.
The two began to search the mural.
Although this mountain is a barren mountain, it is named Shuangr Peak by the locals.
Stretching for dozens of kilometers.
After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the rebels attempted to plunder the treasures in the Queen's mausoleum.
None of the people sent out to hunt for treasures came back.
Rumor has it that he suffered divine punishment, and no one dared to visit the Empress's tomb ever again.
In Lin Ran's time, the entrance to the Empress's Mausoleum had never been found, and the location of the Empress's Mausoleum was at the foot of this mountain.
There may even be a vast underground palace in this underground place. It is by no means as simple as it seems!
After groping on the wall for a while, I couldn't find any intersection.
Zhenbao also looked confused. At this time, Wang Jinpeng suggested: "Do we want to enter behind the stone gate?"
"Do you have any idea?" Huang Hao asked with a smile. Today's harvest was good, and he seemed to be in high spirits, joking with Wang Jinpeng.
"Can we use a shovel to pry it open?" Wang Jinpeng said with a simple smile, "Just now I felt that although the stone door was solid, it didn't feel very strong."
Not all stone doors have mechanisms, after all, not every door needs to be opened.
Regarding the world behind the stone gate, Lin Ran only guessed that it would be a royal treasure.
The Mausoleum of the Empress is a very special mausoleum. She has no tombstone, only a wordless monument.
When it was discovered, it was thought to be the tomb of an ordinary noble.
However, there are still traces of looting on the right side of the tomb. Archaeologists and tomb robbers have studied this ancient tomb, but no one has found the entrance to the tomb.
Lin Ran also suddenly had this idea after seeing this mural.
Could it be that Wu Zetian was dissatisfied with Li Ji and asked him to serve her even after his death.
Everyone fell silent.
"Of course, I'm just joking." Wang Jinpeng innocently rubbed the back of his head.
There are so many tomb-robber experts here, how could it be his turn to speak bitterly?
"No, I think what you said makes sense." Huang Hao said, "Since we can't find the switch, we can't forget our duties."
"Brother Lin, what do you think?" Liu Jingfeng wanted to seek Lin Ran's opinion.
Lin Ran nodded. He tried all the methods he could think of, but couldn't find a way to open the door.
At this time, you can only trust the professional tomb robbing team.
"As long as you don't damage the structure of the tomb," Lin Ran nodded and said.
After going back, I have to tell the museum about the existence of this mausoleum.
However, they can use more subtle methods.
The simplest thing is to send an anonymous letter. Then archaeologists will come to investigate and excavate the background and history of the tomb, which can be viewed in the literature.
Lin Ran also decided not to worry about it anymore.
"Don't worry about this." Liu Jingfeng said, patting his chest.
This time they went to the grave and they had already made a lot of money.
If there were more valuables behind the stone gate, they could almost quit.
This is a virgin mausoleum that has never been mined. The harvest of these items is absolutely amazing!
