Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 551 Liu Bei's Life Experience (4000)

In fact, there are actually doubts about what happened after Liu Bei claimed to be King Jing of Zhongshan and Liu Sheng.

It is not only scholars of later generations who think that there are doubts at this time, but even some powerful and noble families in the late Han Dynasty have raised doubts in this regard.

It's a pity that just as Liu Pengzu accused him, Liu Sheng is a mediocre person who is greedy for wine and lust.

He has never done any major things in his life, nor has he made any contributions. His greatest contribution to the Liu family of the Han Dynasty was "creating human beings", and he left many descendants for the Liu family. According to historical records, he left a total of He has more than 120 offspring, and he is the most fertile among Liu Bang's descendants.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Sheng's heirs may not even be recognized by himself, let alone the people of the late Han Dynasty hundreds of years later, and the people of later generations after 2000 years.

In addition, there was another incident that made Liu Bei's identity even more difficult to verify-Wang Mang usurped the Han.

After Wang Mang usurped the Han and established a new dynasty, in order to make his throne more secure, he began to destroy the genealogy of Liu Bang's descendants. Influenced by the "family world" culture, the gentry still believed that this world belonged to the Liu family, while Wang Mang He is a thief who is dishonest and dishonest, so only by destroying the foundation and inheritance of the Liu family can Wang Mang feel at ease.

So during this period, many genealogies of the Liu family were searched out and destroyed, and many descendants of Liu Bang became common people after the genealogy was destroyed. Even those real descendants of princes did not dare to call themselves descendants of the Liu family at that time Otherwise, life may not be saved.

That's why.

Nowadays, no one can find out the genealogy of Liu Sheng's lineage, and there is no way to confirm or expose Liu Bei's identity. Believe it or not, it can only be guesswork.

But through Liu Bei's current performance.

Wu Liang believed that Liu Bei had at least a direct relationship with Liu's descendants.

After all, he knew where Liu Pengzu's mausoleum was, and he behaved like this about the mummy in Liu Pengzu's tomb, which should be Nao Ji's corpse. The child has some unusual relationship.

One of the biggest doubts is.

If there is any relationship with Naoji and Naozi, then Liu Bei is more likely to be a descendant of Liu Pengzu, and he should call himself a descendant of Liu Pengzu.

But why did he choose Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan?

Wu Liang has several guesses about this:
One is that Liu Pengzu's genealogy can still be found, and although Liu Bei is related to Naoji or Naozi, he is not actually a descendant of Liu Pengzu, so he has no way to claim his identity;

The second is that Liu Bei has some kind of feelings towards Liu Pengzu that outsiders cannot understand, of course they are negative feelings, such as hatred. Judging from Liu Bei's current performance, he reacted subtly to Nao Ji's death by Liu Pengzu. , Liu Bei does not want to have any relationship with Liu Pengzu;

The third is what Liu Pengzu did during his lifetime. Liu Pengzu was a clever man who used Linglong methods to persecute many ministers and officials sent by the imperial court. Therefore, he had a very bad reputation among the gentry. If he claimed to be a descendant of Liu Pengzu, he might not If you raise the banner, you may attract some feuds for yourself, and a mediocre person like Liu Sheng is much better. Although it may not be liked by the nobles, it is not as hated by the nobles as Liu Pengzu.

Of course, these are only speculations made by Wu Liang based on the current situation, and they cannot be counted.

But if you want to figure this out, you can only start with Liu Bei.

But this is not an easy task. Since Liu Bei has already claimed to be a descendant of Liu Sheng, even if the sky falls, he will never change his mind easily.

To put it mildly, once he changed his mouth, it would be tantamount to admitting that he is a liar, which is related to his character.

And on a bigger scale, this will definitely affect his reputation, the banner he raised with great difficulty will definitely fall, and he himself will become the laughing stock of the world, so why is it such a big deal?
So on the matter.

Wu Liang had to be careful, even if he spoke provocatively, the purpose should not be too clear, let alone teach Liu Bei to realize that he had already touched the truth of the matter.

Otherwise, no one can tell what Liu Bei will do on this fundamental matter.

Anyway, in Wu Liang's view, the really important secrets must only be known by the dead to make him feel at ease, otherwise he will feel like a pain in his back all the time.

Since Liu Bei was able to become the emperor of Shu in history, he must not be a good man and a faithful woman...

……

After a moment.

Liu Bei had returned to normal, and he still smiled and said to Wu Liang, "Fourth brother is very knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and Brother Yu admires him very much. I'm afraid there is nothing in this world that fourth brother doesn't know, right?"

"Brother praised you, I just happened to know about it."

Wu Liang smiled modestly, and then said again, "Brother just taught my younger brother to help him find a place with a good geomantic omen to bury this female corpse. I wonder if there is any special request from my elder brother?"

This is also a problem.

If this female corpse had nothing to do with Liu Bei, it would be the utmost benevolence to help her to be buried in peace. Why would it be too enthusiastic to find a treasured place of geomantic omen?

"Brother Yu doesn't understand this kind of thing very well. The fourth brother is proficient in this way, so everything will follow the arrangement of the fourth brother."

Liu Bei said with a smile.

"If so..."

Speaking of this, Wu Liang frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about where to go. After pondering for a while, he seemed to think of something, and said seriously, "Speaking of Fengshui treasure land, little brother When I was traveling, I saw a nice place, and I told my brothers that whoever is buried in this place will surely ensure the success of food and clothing for future generations.”

"Oh? I don't know where this place is?"

Liu Bei asked quickly.

However, everyone in the Huanren Army was a little puzzled, especially Yu Ji's eyes flashed with surprise.

They all knew that Wu Liang didn't know the art of geomantic omen, and they would directly ask Yu Ji for advice on matters in this area, and everyone was very sure that Wu Liang never told them where there was such a place.

Understood!
The young master is going to lie to Liu Bei again, but at this moment Liu Bei has no doubts in the young master, no matter what the young master says, he will believe it, and he can say whatever he wants.

After trying to understand this question, there was a knowing smile in everyone's eyes.

I understand everything, it depends on what kind of tricks the young master plans to play this time...

"Brother is from Zhuo County, Zhuo County. You should know something about Beixin City in the south of Zhuo County, right?"

Wu Liang asked instead.

"Naturally know."

Liu Bei was puzzled, but nodded.

"Then there is a river of Lushui in the south of Beixin City, brother should also know about it?"

Wu Liang then asked.

"I heard something."

Liu Bei nodded again.

"Brother, do you know that there is a mountain named Fenghuang Mountain on the north bank of Lushui towards Beixincheng. The main peak of this mountain is in the middle, and the two peaks are like the left and right sides, and the three peaks are connected. , and like a castle with double towers, this is a rare geomantic treasure.”

Wu Liang finally told the exact location, as if he had really been there himself.

? !
However, upon hearing these words, Yu Ji immediately looked at Wu Liang in surprise.

Yu Ji really believed in Wu Liang's evil, he knew better than anyone else that a person who doesn't understand Feng Shui should not be able to say what Wu Liang just said, but Wu Liang said it clearly.

Moreover, according to Wu Liang's description, this Phoenix Mountain is indeed a very rare geomantic treasure. Even those who know the art of geomantic omen have to spend some time visiting and exploring to find such a treasure. Wu Liang's description is in line with the principle , even if it sounds like a professional like Yu Ji, it doesn't feel like talking nonsense at all.

and so.

Does the young master really not understand the art of geomantic omen?
Or has he really been here before, and was instructed by a certain expert, and now he was asked by Liu Bei, and it was a fake show for real?
"This sounds like a wonderful treasure land...Thank you, fourth brother, for your guidance!"

Hearing Wu Liang's words, Liu Bei showed joy, and thanked Wu Liang repeatedly, "Although brother Yu has never been to the Phoenix Mountain mentioned by the fourth brother, but since the fourth brother has made the location so clear, brother Yu has already For the people of Zhuo County, it is easy to find this mountain, and after the business here is over, Brother Yu will personally take the corpse to this place and bury it in the ground for safety."

"Brother, you're welcome, it's just a matter of raising your hands."

While Wu Liang bowed his hands and returned the salute, he already had a general conclusion in his mind.

I am afraid that Liu Bei has nothing to do with his self-proclaimed ancestor, King Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Sheng. Although this does not prove that Liu Bei must not be a Han family clan, it can already prove that Liu Bei lied about his identity!
why?

Because the Fenghuang Mountain he just mentioned actually has a Western Han Dynasty mausoleum, which has been renamed Mausoleum Mountain in later generations.

No one else was buried in this Western Han mausoleum, but Liu Bei's self-proclaimed ancestor, King Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Sheng, and Liu Sheng's official wife, Dou Wan, so this is a joint burial for husband and wife.

This mausoleum is a rather characteristic horizontal cave-style cliff tomb.

It has never been stolen for more than 2000 years, until 1968, when a certain engineer regiment of our army was digging tunnels and building fortifications here, it was accidentally dug out.

This matter even attracted the attention of the central government, who personally issued an order to the then dean of the Academy of Sciences, "Old Guo", and ordered him to be in charge of the excavation of this mausoleum. It took 111 days to finally complete the excavation of this mausoleum. A large number of representative cultural relics of the Han Dynasty, this incident was even recorded in the memorabilia by the Chinese archaeological circle, and almost everyone who studies archeology has learned this classic archaeological case.

Since the excavation, the mausoleum has been included in the third batch of key cultural relics protection units, and it will gradually open to the public after the completion of the repair work.

This is the well-known "Mancheng Han Tomb" in later generations.

As for Liu Bei's behavior at the moment, he obviously didn't know that there was a tomb in this place... As a descendant of Liu Sheng, without a serious change of dynasty, he didn't even know where his own ancestral grave was, which is naturally unreasonable. What's more, Liu Bei has lived in Zhuojun since he was a child, which is naturally a problem.

After all, the Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and it is also a manifestation of filial piety to visit the graves of ancestors regularly, even if it is necessary to go to worship secretly, so he has no reason to be ignorant of this.

So Wu Liang concluded that Liu Bei was not a descendant of Liu Sheng at all.

Combined with the previous performances, Wu Liang felt more and more that Liu Bei should be related to Liu Pengzu, Naoji and Naozi, and it might be more reasonable that Liu Pengzu or Naozi's descendants should be the descendants.

of course.

He was not afraid that Liu Bei would accidentally dig out the tomb of King Jing of Zhongshan Liu Sheng when he went to Phoenix Mountain.

Liu Sheng's tomb is hidden too deep, and even if Liu Bei wants to bury Nao Ji, it is absolutely impossible for him to make a big splash in his current situation.

What's more, the construction of a mausoleum in ancient times ranged from a few years to a dozen or even decades. Financial resources, manpower, and time are not what Liu Bei can afford now. At most, he can dig a hole for Nao Ji. It is simply impossible to dig out the tomb of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan.

"Then this corpse..."

Liu Bei then looked at Nao Ji's mummy curled up under the wooden platform with some embarrassment. As a layman in this field, he didn't know what to do.

"There is a lot of cypress wood in here. Eldest brother can also make a coffin. First, put the corpse up. It is not too late to wait for the right place and time to bury it. After I get out, I will count one for elder brother." Good days are."

Wu Liang said with a smile.

"That's all it can do..."

Liu Bei nodded slightly.

As he spoke, Liu Bei leaned down again to examine the female corpse carefully, as if he wanted to see it more clearly.

"..."

Wu Liang hoped that he would stay away from the female corpse, after all, he was so close at this moment, Liu Bei must have the worst luck, maybe he would have nothing to do to get the jade pendant, and Liu Bei just squatted by the side and watched One look, and the female corpse that will be induced will undergo a deadly transformation, and take him away together...

But now that Liu Bei had come in, Wu Liang also felt that he could not open his mouth to drive him out again, so he had no choice but to let him go, and he continued to lead the people to investigate other things in the tomb.

But just when he was about to turn around.

"Bang - boast!"

Suddenly there was a strange sound.

Wu Liang and the others didn't see what happened, but they saw Liu Bei lying limply on the ground with his buttocks pouted, blood gurgling down the top of his head.

And beside Liu Bei, there were several broken rocks scattered.

The largest of these rocks should have the weight of later slate bricks, while the smallest is only the size of a tennis ball, and one side is very flat, it looks like the stone bricks used to build the tomb were broken.

"Big brother!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were shocked and rushed forward to check Liu Bei's injury.

"Big brother!"

Wu Liang also howled with the two of them affectionately.

However, he did not rush forward, but was the first to look up to the top of the tomb.

At this time, he suddenly discovered that a long crack had appeared on the top of the tomb at some time, and the crack spread to the distance... And at the position above Liu Bei's head, a small irregular hole had appeared. About twenty square centimeters or so.
