Master Archaeologist

Chapter 127 The afterlife is terrifying!
It was Chen Han who came in from the Wenfeng Pagoda cemetery next door.

As soon as he arrived at the cultural relics temporary storage room next to the excavation site, he heard the phrase "the grandson of King Wen, the Yuanzi of Mu Zhiyuan" discussed by several experts and professors.

Young people with flexible minds.

He immediately thought of the two kings of Chu, so he sounded a reminder.

"King Chu Wen?"

"King Chu Mu?"

All the professors who heard Chen Han's reminder also showed expressions of sudden realization.

King Wen of Chu was a monarch of the state of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period.

The prosperity of Chu State began with his father, King Wu of Chu.

It was also during the period of King Wu of Chu that Suiguo began to appear frequently in history books.

In the 35th year of King Wu of Chu, King Wu of Chu invaded Suiguo, after which the famous phrase "I am a barbarian" was born.

Afterwards, King Wu of Chu proclaimed himself king after returning home, became the first king of Chu, and officially broke with the Zhou royal family.

At this time, Suiguo, who guarded the south gate of the Zhou royal family, naturally became the main obstacle for the Chu people to advance eastward.

So in the last years of King Wu of Chu, Chu launched a large-scale attack on Sui, and then failed to capture Sui.

Afterwards, not only did Suiguo not surrender, but he revised politics and prepared for war. He was very stubborn and refused to participate in the Shenlu meeting hosted by Chu people.

This aroused the dissatisfaction of the Chu people even more, and King Wu of Chu attacked Sui again.

This time, Suiguo was still not captured.

However, the people of Suiguo couldn't bear King Wu of Chu's continuous conquest of Suiguo, so they had no choice but to sign an alliance with Chu State, and the two countries temporarily repaired each other.

As a result, in the 51st year of King Wu of Chu, Emperor Zhou summoned Sui Hou and accused him of making Chu State king.

After that, Suiguo's attitude towards Chu State began to change again, which meant returning to the Zhou royal family.

This made King Wu of Chu very angry, thinking that Suihou had betrayed him.

So in March of the same year, King Wu of Chu sent troops to attack Suiguo again.

It's just that King Wu of Chu has been 51 years old now, and King Wu of Chu was old and passed away on the way to Vasui.

However, the secret of the state of Chu did not mourn, and continued to attack and follow.

The Sui people were terrified, so they had to ask the Chu army for peace.

The ministers of Chu State entered Sui State in the name of King Chu and formed an alliance with Sui Hou.

It was not until the Chu army retreated and returned to the south of the Han River that the funeral was announced.

The next successor was King Wen of Chu.

During the period of King Wen, Suiguo did not appear.

After the death of King Chu Wen, Chu Duao, the son of King Chu Wen, succeeded to the throne.

This Chu Duao is a complete and stupid king, flying eagles and running dogs all day long, not doing his job properly.

In the third year of his succession, he planned to kill his younger brother Xiong Yun.

When the younger brother received the news, he fled overnight and fled to Sui country.

This brother is also a ruthless person.

After he fled to Suiguo, he quickly got the support of Suiren, and joined forces with Suiguo to attack and kill Chu Du'ao, and won the throne as King Chu Cheng.

It can be seen that from the time of King Wu of Chu to King Cheng of Chu, Sui State was still a very powerful country south of Handong, at least not inferior to Chu State.

We must know that between the period of King Wu of Chu and King Cheng of Chu, Chu State sent troops one after another to annex many princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which expanded the territory of Chu State a lot.

But in the face of Suiguo, King Wu of Chu failed to win three conquests, so he could only be bound by the alliance.

Otherwise, with Chu's barbarian style, as long as you can directly conquer you by force, why bother to sign an alliance?

Moreover, with the support of Sui Guo, the later King Cheng of Chu won the throne of Chu State!
It shows that Suiguo was indeed very strong in terms of military strength at that time.

This country is also worthy of being the head of the feudal lords in the Eastern Han Dynasty, a great country in the Eastern Han Dynasty!

After King Cheng of Chu, King Mu of Chu became King Chu.

Based on this calculation, Mrs. Mijia, Zeng Houbao's wife, should be the daughter of King Chu Mu.

Chen Han walked to the side of the Mijia chime, ignored the strange eyes of several professors, looked closely at the inscriptions on it, pointed to one of the inscriptions and read:
"Boy Yu added Miyue."

"Yu, "I" means, kid means modest."

"Obviously, the statement that King Yu Wen's grandson, Mu Zhiyuan's son, came out of the country in Zeng came from Mijia's mouth, and it is the self-report of Mijia's wife."

The strange color in the eyes of several professors is even more serious.

A professor who taught undergraduates in the Department of Archeology of Peking University looked Chen Han up and down several times, and said pleasantly: "I remember you, you are Chen Han's classmate of the 15th class, right?"

This professor only taught Xia, Shang and Zhou archaeology for 15 undergraduates for one academic year, but he was very impressed with Chen Han.

Chen Han is still highly recognizable. Such a handsome young man is hard to forget after seeing him once.

"Professor Zhang, long time no see!" Chen Han naturally knew the professor, and shook his hand with a smile.

When I heard that this young man was from Peking University, he was one of our own.

The professors immediately put away the strange expressions on their faces, and walked forward to meet Chen Han with a smile one by one.

If he was not from a Peking University department and he was still so young, those professors would definitely not give him a good look.

Chen Han's previous behavior was more or less reckless, with the slightest hint of slap in the face.

The old professor's judgment is not as clear and accurate as your doll's. Where does this make Professor Zheng Xian's face go?

How embarrassing it is for a few Peking University professors to have such a slap in the face of a young junior.

But Chen Han is a member of Peking University, so it is different.

"The future is terrifying!"

"Young people nowadays, this academic level is really solid!"

"It's much better than our reckless appearance back then!"

"We Peking University? Then why didn't you continue to apply to the Institute of Archeology and Cultural Museum?"

"Is this going to work directly? It's a pity that you don't continue to study for a Ph.D. at your level. Why don't you come to me to do a Ph. D.? I still have a quota next year, and I can recruit directly!"

"If the family conditions are difficult, I have several projects under my hands, and the state subsidies are quite a lot, which is enough for you to study for a Ph. D. with peace of mind!"

Several professors surrounded Chen Han enthusiastically, asking about his situation.

This is definitely a piece of uncut jade, it would be a pity not to accept it as a disciple!
Chen Han was a little embarrassed. Although he was quite popular in the past, he was not so popular.

In order to prevent the misunderstandings of several professors from deepening, he quickly explained his current situation.

When they heard that he was already studying for a Ph. D. under Kong Jianwen, the faces of the professors immediately became sympathetic.

Kong Jianwen's name is still very famous in the circle.

Deputy director of the Institute of Archaeology, Academy of Social Sciences, director of the Xia, Shang and Zhou Research Office.

His professional title is higher than most of the professors present, and Professor Zheng Xian is about the same level as him.

Well, this piece of jade in the rough is hard to grab.

"Student Chen, right?" At this time, Professor Zheng Xian approached Chen Han with a smile, and said with some emotion and relief: "Young people are awesome, young man is amazing."

"The brain is flexible, and the level of inscription interpretation is still very high."

"This Mrs. Mijia should indeed be the daughter of King Chumu."

"That also makes sense, why Zeng Gongqiu and Zeng Houbao, the two kings of the Zeng Kingdom, were able to marry the daughters of the royal family of Chu as their wives one after another."

"Since Mrs. Mi Jia is the queen of King Chu Mu, then the Mrs. Mi Yu whom Mr. Zeng asked for should be of the same generation as King Chu Mu, that is, the queen of King Chu Cheng."

"According to historical records, it was with the help of Sui (Zeng) that King Cheng of Chu won the throne of King Chu."

"To thank Suiguo for his help, he married his daughter to Zeng Gongqiu."

"After his death, King Mu of Chu, who succeeded him, continued to befriend Suiguo and married his daughter to Zeng Houbao."
