My system is not decent

Chapter 1778 The truth of history
In ancient times, tomb robbery was one of the shortcuts for many people to dream of getting rich.

For example, when Cao Cao robbed the tomb of King Liang Xiao, he received a lot of money, and he got hundreds of thousands of gold at one time.

In order to support his army, he even has a dedicated tomb robbery unit, Captain Mo Jin;

When Wen Tao robbed the imperial tombs of the Tang Dynasty, he also exhumed them all.

In addition, Huang Chao robbed and excavated the Huangling of the Tang Dynasty, and it is said that countless treasures were robbed.

The most famous one should actually be Wen Tao, because he also got the original "Lanting Preface" written by Wang Xizhi, which was collected by Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, but it was lost in his hands because of this;

Sun Dianying, a warlord of the Republic of China, stole the tombs of Emperor Qianlong and Empress Dowager Cixi, and took away thirty cartloads of rare treasures.

According to the ancient practice, there are countless private tomb robbers. Many people want to get rich overnight, and it is impossible for Guan Yu's three cemeteries to be spared.

However, in fact, no one has touched Guan Yu's three cemeteries. Why?

In fact, the reason is not only what I said before, later generations dare not steal it, because someone can smash the statue for you and sell it for money in order to get rich, let alone a general.

In fact, it is very likely that the tomb robbers knew that there was no treasure in Guan Yu's cemetery, and no one went to rob the tomb, but this information was lost in the process of spreading.

As for the fact that there were no funerary objects in these three cemeteries, someone should have known or had some records at the time.

At that time, many managers in the Three Kingdoms knew about it and leaked the news.

That's why people at the time and after the Three Kingdoms knew that there were no funeral objects in Guan Yu's tomb.

It is for this reason that people in later dynasties did not do useless work.

It's just that with the passage of time, it has been more than 1700 years, and there is no news of treasures in Guan Yu's tomb, or the records have been lost and have not been handed down.

This is why we have not been able to verify it so far, and it may not be possible that there will be relevant records in the unearthed cultural relics in the future.

The tomb robbers of the later dynasties should have guessed that there was no treasure in Guan Yu's tomb, and considering that people in the previous dynasties did not rob the tomb, they decided that Guan Yu's tomb was not worth stealing.

Guan Yu died in 219 A.D., just as the war years were starving and the treasury was empty.

At that time, the Kingdom of Shu was gradually declining. Although Liu Bei had sympathy for Guan Yu, but considering that the national power did not allow it, he probably did not bury treasures for Guan Yu at that time.

Therefore, there is no "money" in Guan Yu's tomb, and the tomb robbers must have known it.

For the state of Wu at that time, there was no reason to give Guan Yu a generous burial.

Sun Quan buried Guan Yu entirely out of fear of a wild counterattack by the Shu Kingdom.

At the same time, because Guan Yu had a great influence in the Soochow Army at that time, burying Guan Yu with the so-called "princes' ceremony" was beneficial to win people's hearts.

But if it is said that Sun Quan put gold and silver treasures in, this is unlikely.

Guan Yu, as a general of the Shu Kingdom, can imagine the harm he caused to Soochow.

Killed countless soldiers and generals of Soochow, how could it be possible for Sun Quan to be buried with him at his own expense?

It would be great to keep them for the descendants of the generals who died in Soochow, as pensions!
And Cao Cao has always been adhering to the communication concept of "Ning teach me to blame the world, don't teach the world to blame me".

Although he has affection for Cao Cao, he still doesn't want to make a loss-making business for the dead Guan Yu.

Before Guan Yu died, Cao Cao tried to win him over at all costs because Guan Yu was so brave and could be used.

But what is the value after death?Cao Cao was not stupid enough to spend a lot of money to bury the generals of other countries in front of the generals of Wei.

At that time, Cao Cao had already seen through Sun Quan's mind and wanted to transfer the spearhead to Wei, but Cao Cao naturally couldn't let him do so.

So he showed regret and distress, buried Guan Yu's head in public and led all civil and military officials to mourn.

This is more of a publicity show, telling the world that I didn't kill the man, but I buried him generously, and I have done my best.

For the purpose of show, it cannot be real, so the probability of treasure inside is extremely small.

All things considered, the probability of Guan Yu's tomb containing treasures is too small.

The risk is also great for tomb robbers, and it is likely to be in vain.

This is also one of the possible reasons why Guan Yu's tomb was not stolen.

In one, Guan Yu was admired by the emperors of various dynasties. He repaired the cemetery and sent people to guard the tomb, so that the tomb robbers had no way to start.

Guan Yu was loyal to Taoyuan three times all his life, and followed Liu Bei to the death. This is a loyal minister that many emperors like, and it is their means of promoting loyalty.

Therefore, the emperor officials of many dynasties attached great importance to Guan Yu's purpose.

They paid homage to the heroic spirit of Guan Yu in order to promote the royal beliefs and hopes for their subjects.

At the same time, many of them also repaired Guan Yu's cemetery and sent troops to garrison at the same time.

For example, the tomb of Guan Yu, where Guan Yu's body was buried in Dangyang, Beihu, was originally just an earth mound.

Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, successive emperors have expanded the Mausoleum of Guan Yu to form a mausoleum.

Such a large cemetery naturally needs to be guarded by soldiers, and it must be cleaned and worshiped regularly.

As for the place where Guan Yu's head was buried in Guanlin, Yangluo, it was only a small tomb at first.

After the expansion of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the current scale of [-] mu has been formed.

It can be seen from this that the ancient emperors guarded Guan Yu's tomb well, so naturally they would not be given the chance by tomb robbers.

In the end, the image of Guan Yu's loyalty is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and no one dares to rob the tomb.

As for the Qinglong Yanyue Knife that Chen Wenzhe saw, it should have been substituted into the ancient tomb by someone else, not unearthed from Guan Yu's tomb.

As for who it is, it is really difficult to verify.

The Qinglong Yanyue Knife that Chen Wenzhe saw should indeed belong to Guan Yu, if not, no one would treasure it, and it was brought into the mausoleum in the end.

But this Qinglong Yanyue Knife is not the weapon used by Guan Yu. Even if he goes out to fight at will, he will not carry it with him.

In fact, there is a lot of evidence later, which can prove that a 82-jin sword cannot be used as a common weapon.

Even now, many archaeological experts believe that during the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yu did not have the Qinglong Yanyue Sword at all.

Since primitive times, human ancestors have learned to grind and develop hard materials such as stones and animal bones into knives of various shapes.

These knives can be used as living utensils, such as felling trees, cutting food and so on.

It can also be used as a weapon and belongs to one of the eighteen kinds of weapons.

So in history, is there really a "Qinglong Yanyue Knife"?

The frequent wars in ancient times produced many famous cold weapons and heroes.

For example, in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Guan Yu who "passed five passes and killed six generals" and his saber "Qinglong Yanyue Dao".

In the Three Kingdoms, it is described that this sword weighs 82 jin. It is conceivable that Guan Yu's force is profound and his arm strength is astonishing.

Guan Yu was a mighty general at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty who could "ride thousands of miles alone" and "fight ten thousand with one".

He is strong and strong. In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is described that Guan Yu is nine feet long. Converted to today's units, Guan Yu is about 2 meters tall.

The tall and strong Guan Yu used the "Qinglong Yanyue Knife" weighing 82 pounds, which was still a bit laborious.
