Chapter 992 Unsolved Mysteries
Seeing an imperial seal, Chen Wenzhe was really surprised.

This is not easy. He has never heard of any ancient tomb in China where the emperor's seal was unearthed.

Besides, the great seal of this level is generally used for inheritance, from father to son, and from son to grandson, which represents orthodoxy, how can it be used as a sacrificial object?

Even if he was the last king of Nanyue, he wouldn't be able to get the imperial seal he used into the tomb, right?
As long as it is not the last king, the descendants would not want this kind of thing to enter Lao Tzu's tomb, right?

"No, it seems that it has been unearthed. It is popular in Nanyue to bury the emperor's seal?"

At this time, Chen Wenzhe remembered that in Yangcheng, the tomb of Emperor Wen, the second king of South Vietnam, seemed to have been excavated, and the seal of Emperor Wen was unearthed.

This is Emperor Ai's Xingxi, and the unlucky emperor would use Ai as his posthumous title.

At this time, Chen Wenzhe also remembered that this unlucky emperor was the fourth king of South Vietnam, and he was really slaughtered.

The Nanyue Kingdom, also known as the Nanyue Kingdom, was a regime located in the south of the Five Ridges from the end of the Qin Dynasty to the Western Han Dynasty.

From the founding monarch Zhao Tuo to the subjugated monarch Zhao Jiande, there have been five kings in total, and they have lived in the country for [-] years.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Tuo, the captain of Nanhai County, took advantage of the death of Qin Dynasty, sealed off Juedao, and annexed Guilin County and Xiang County in the south of Lingnan.

In the third year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Nanyue Kingdom (Nanyue Kingdom) was formally established, with Panyu as its capital.

In the eleventh year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Nanyue Kingdom became a vassal state of the Han Dynasty.

In the fourth year of Yuan Ding, Lu Jia, the prime minister of Nanyue, launched a rebellion, killed Zhao Xing, the king of Nanyue, and made Zhao Jiande, Marquis of Shuyang, the king of Nanyue.

In the autumn of the fifth year of Yuan Ding, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, launched a war against the Nanyue Kingdom and destroyed the Nanyue Kingdom in the winter of the sixth year of Yuan Ding (111 BC).

At the time of its heyday, the territory of Nanyue Kingdom included most of today's Guangdong and Guangxi, a small part of Hujian, the South China Sea, Hong Kong, Macao, and most of the northern and central parts of Vietnam.

The Nanyue Kingdom is the first complete dynastic regime in the history of Lingnan, which established the basic scope of Lingnan today.

The place where Chen Wenzhe is now belongs to the south of the northern mountainous area and the north of the central region.

It doesn't seem so strange that there is a king's tomb in this place.

Besides, the unlucky Zhao Xing chose the cemetery, but he couldn't help himself.

There are five kings in the Nanyue Kingdom, the first is Wu Wang Zhao Tuo, the second is Wen Wang, the third is Ming Wang, and the fourth is this unlucky King Ai.

Not to mention the rebellious Lu Jia, but the royal families of the Nanyue Kingdom. After the establishment of the Nanyue Kingdom, they have always been uneasy, and they are all afraid of the threat of the Central Plains Dynasty.

At the beginning, Zhao Tuo and his son were in chaos at the end of Qin Dynasty, and they still had nothing to fear.

But in the end, they must have become more and more uneasy, or Zhao Xing who came later, that is, King Ai, would not have thought of surrendering.

So they have always had the idea of ​​staying away from the Han Dynasty, so after King Ai came to power, they only prepared for the rear in the rear.

Even after Lu Jia's rebellion, they didn't stop their petty actions.

When the rebellion failed, Lu Jia and Zhao Jiande, the elder brother of Zhao Xing, were captured when they escaped from Haixi.

They did not flee to the south of the Nanyue Kingdom, which is now the north-central part of the Yue Kingdom.

At this point, the Nanyue Kingdom was destroyed and passed on to the fifth king. The last Zhao Jiande did not have time to build a luxurious mausoleum, so what Chen Wenzhe saw this time must be the tomb of Emperor Ai.

Knowing whose tomb it is and the historical background, Chen Wenzhe naturally understood why the hollow dragon and phoenix jade ring in his hand not only has the top craftsmanship of the Central Plains civilization, but also has the foreign style of some ethnic minorities.

South Vietnam is indeed a special country.

People in that era, that is, from the end of the Qin Dynasty, some people believed that jade could preserve the corpse from decay, and this idea became more popular in the Han Dynasty.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there were already signs of burial with jade clothes. For example, Zhao Yu, the owner of the tomb of King Wen of Nanyue, wore a silk jade dress.

It is the earliest complete set of silk jade clothes seen so far in our country.

It is even about 10 years earlier than Zhongshan Jingwang Liu Sheng's golden jade clothes.

Now Chen Wenzhe has several gold-threaded jade clothes, as well as silver-threaded jade clothes, but this does not mean that he does not want to add another one to his collection.

Seriously looking at the backtracking picture, sure enough, several kings of the Nanyue Kingdom should be buried with jade clothes.

Unfortunately, the tomb of Zhao Tuo, the founding king of the Nanyue Kingdom, has never been found.

Now that a Nanyue king's tomb has been discovered in Yangcheng, the tomb of the first Nanyue king Zhao Tuo and even the third generation Nanyue king's tomb are also near Yangcheng.

At this moment, Chen Wenzhe remembered that the tomb of King Ming in South Vietnam had also been discovered?
Some large tombs of the Han Dynasty have been discovered in Yangcheng, and there are also some exquisite jade pendants among the funerary objects.

Experts once suspected that it was the tomb of a Nanyue king, but there was no evidence, and some even thought it was the tomb of Zhao Tuo.

However, some experts later deduced from the jade sword ornaments unearthed in the tomb that the tomb should be the tomb of Zhao Yingqi, the third king of Nanyue Kingdom recorded in the history books, not the tomb of Zhao Tuo.

Therefore, where is the real tomb of Zhao Tuo is still an unsolved mystery.

Since it is in China, it is naturally impossible for Chen Wenzhe to dig there privately, but it is still possible to help the country with archaeology.

Maybe the country can reward him with some things at that time. Even if the treasures unearthed by archaeology are not needed, some policies are also acceptable.

Therefore, now that the tomb of the fourth king of Nanyue Kingdom has been discovered, Chen Wenzhe is still very excited.

Of course, his ultimate goal is the first generation of Nanyue king, because there was a custom of burial in that period, besides, Zhao Tuo, the first Nanyue king is really a legend.

He called himself "Emperor Wu of South Vietnam" and once sent troops to attack Xiangsha.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty died in the fourth year of Jianyuan at the age of 103 and was buried in Panyu.

However, later generations all knew that he was buried in Yangcheng, but no one could find his tomb.

It is reported that after Zhao Tuo died, the funeral was arranged by Zhao Hu, the second generation Nanyue king.

In order to keep his tomb intact, he spent a lot of effort.

According to the analysis of many archaeologists in later generations, although Zhao Tuo's tomb was selected by himself, there were many illusions and fog during the actual burial, so that others did not know where Zhao Tuo's tomb was.

A large number of documents record that after Zhao Tuo's death, there were several tombs, and the funeral cars set off from the four gates at the same time, so people don't know the exact location of his real tomb.

"Yuedong Xinyu" said that Zhao Tuo's mausoleum is on Baiyun Mountain: "Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, was said to be buried in Yushan, Yangcheng. From the north of Jilonggang to Tianjing, all the mountains and mountains are called Tuo's tomb."

For more than two thousand years, there have been different opinions about the exact location of Zhao Tuo's tomb.

It is mainly said that his tomb was buried in the southwest, west, northwest, north, and northeast of the ancient city of Yucheng.

The ancient Yucheng was built by Buzhi, the governor of Jiaozhou in the state of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. It is probably located in the area south of Yuehua Road, north of Wenming Road, west of Cangbian Road, and east of Jixiang Road in Yangcheng.

But in these areas, nothing has been found so far.
