Don't pretend, anchor, I've seen you touch the golden talisman!

Chapter 160 Using Copper as a Mirror
Lin Yi smiled and stepped into the green striped stone gate again.

The cold air coming from the pavement inside is gone.

The twelve mummified corpses also returned to their places and stood around the coffin.

The coffin was still in its original position, and Wukong was squatting on the top of the coffin, playing with the bronze mirror that was hanging in mid-air just now.

Lin Yi whistled.

Wukong turned his head and saw him, with an excited expression on his face, he ran towards him with the mirror in his arms, and jumped onto his shoulder with a "whoosh".

His eyes also returned to the clarity they had before.

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's so weird! It's amazing! Just turn around, and it's as if nothing happened. Could it be that what we saw just now was an illusion?"

Qian Sheng held up the flashlight and was amazed.

Wang Qiang patted Qian Sheng on the shoulder as if he had been through it before and said:
"You are so rare and strange. There are a lot of evil things in the underground, and you can see it!"

Qian Sheng nodded and looked around.

After going through the scene just now, and seeing these mummy now, he really didn't have the fear he had before.

Wang Qiang pointed to Wukong holding the bronze mirror in his hand and asked:

"Is this the bronze mirror you're talking about?"

Lin Yi nodded, reached out to take the bronze mirror, turned on the flashlight and looked around.

A glance at something from the early Tang Dynasty. It is round, with a five-petal peach blossom dragon pattern on the back, and a little copper rust on the front.

"Treasurer Qian, palm eye!"

Lin Yi handed the bronze mirror to Qian Sheng.

Qian Sheng took the bronze mirror carefully, and first put it under his nose to smell it.

"It tastes right, something with a big door opening, early Tang Dynasty."

After looking at the mirror and then turning it over to look at the patterns on the back, I couldn't help but take a breath.

"Master Lin, this mirror is amazing!"

Wang Qiang was the first to go up.

"What's so great, tell me quickly."

Qian Sheng pointed to the ornamentation on it.

"Then I will try my best. First of all, this dragon pattern is a special decoration for the royal family. If it is used by others, it is arrogance. Secondly, this thing is an object from the early Tang Dynasty. It stands to reason that before Xuanzong, it can be called the early Tang Dynasty, but in our eyes The orthodox early Tang Dynasty is nothing more than Gaozu, Taizong, Gaozong and Zhongzong.

And among these four, the one who likes peach blossoms the most is Taizong!
Legend has it that when Empress Wende Changsun wrote "Spring Outing Song", there was a sentence in it, "The new peaches on the well steal the complexion, and the tender willows on the eaves learn to be light." The theme of the royal special equipment.

Naturally, this bronze mirror is indispensable. "

Wang Qiang didn't understand anything else, but he knew the origin of the bronze mirror, and he immediately smiled and said:
"Treasurer Qian, do you think this bronze mirror might have been used by Tang Taizong? Come on, let me touch it."

Qian Sheng handed it over with both hands, Wang Qiang took it, and played with it carefully.

"Don't even mention it, the emperor's hands have a different feeling when using it."

Qian Sheng immediately extended his thumb.

"Look, how about I tell you that Mr. Wang has wisdom? He will know the quality of things as soon as he gets started."

"Hey, look, why are there words under this?"

Wang Qiang pointed to the side of the bronze mirror and said to them.

"Where? I didn't look at it just now."

With that said, Qian Sheng took the bronze mirror over again.

"Tai Chi. Oops, my lords, what kind of luck did we hit, to come across such a priceless treasure!"

Qian Sheng looked very excited, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

"I'm talking about Shopkeeper Qian, stop shaking and tell me, what is the origin of this thing!"

"Wait a minute."

While talking, Qian Sheng took out a piece of suede leather from his bag, and carefully held the bronze mirror in his hand.

"The Tang Dynasty once built three major palaces in Xijing City, the most famous one being the 'Daming Palace', followed by the 'Xingqing Palace', and finally the 'Taiji Palace'.

The word Tai Chi on this mirror comes from here.

At the beginning, Taizong launched a mutiny at the north gate of Taiji Palace, that is, Xuanwu Gate.

In the end, he was enthroned in the Tai Chi Hall and was honored with a great treasure. On weekdays, he met with the ministers in the Tai Chi Hall.

The two of you must have heard that Emperor Taizong once said such a sentence in "Zhenguan Zhengyao": "For a husband, use copper as a mirror to straighten your clothes; use ancient times as a mirror to know success and failure; use people as a mirror to know gains and losses."If Wei Zheng is gone, I will be dead! "

Lin Yi nodded, and Wang Qiang also nodded along with a vague understanding.

"According to legend, after Wei Zheng's death, Taizong was so sad that Empress Changsun took it out with the bronze mirror from Taizong's bedroom and hung it in the Taiji Hall to remind Taizong to be a wise king.

The official title of this thing should be called: Taizong Zhengguan Mirror! "

"You mean, this mirror is the same one that Empress Changsun used to warn Taizong?"

"It's very possible! Many ancient rare books of later generations mentioned this object, but after Gaozong came to the throne, he moved to Daming Palace to live, and Taiji Palace was no longer used.

And you can see that the word Tai Chi was obviously chiseled and engraved later. It should be to distinguish it from the bronze mirrors in other palaces, and it is also convenient for the palace people not to confuse them. "

"Shouldn't the important treasures in the deep palaces of the Tang Dynasty be taken directly to Zhaoling by Taizong for burial? How could they appear in the tombs of the Western Zhou Dynasty?"

This is Lin Yi's biggest doubt right now.

It even surpasses the Jiang Taigong cenotaph itself.

"I'm not sure about this, I can only say that this place is indeed a bit evil."

"Treasurer Qian, if this mirror is sold, how much will it be worth?"

Wang Qiang was not interested in the origin of the bronze mirror, so he opened his mouth to ask the price.

"Priceless treasure! If you really meet a buyer who knows the goods, you will lose all your money to get it."

When Wang Qiang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Then we've made a fortune, haven't we? We've got something good again!"

The expression on Lin Yi's face was indifferent.

"Treasurer Qian, are there still a few fragments of the copper tripod that you collected just now? Take them out and have a look."

Qian Sheng nodded, took out a bundle from his bag, and arranged the fragments one by one.

Lin Yi turned on the flashlight and studied the "golden text" on it.

"Gongshudan wrote a composition, and took the Qingzhou tripod as a sacrifice."

Uncle Gong!
Qingzhou tripod!
Lin Yi murmured these two names.

The hairs on Qian Sheng's arms stood on end, and his expression suddenly tightened.

"Isn't this Gong Shu Dan the Duke of Zhou Ji Dan? Is this Qingzhou Cauldron one of the Nine Cauldrons?"

"King Wu died young, and his son Cheng Wang was young. Ji Dan, Duke of Zhou, took over as regent. When Lu Shang passed away, Gong Dan of Zhou took the Emperor of Zhou with him to pay homage to him with a group of clan members surnamed Jiang.

The Qingzhou tripod, one of the nine tripods representing the territory of Qi, was deliberately taken out as a sacrificial object to be buried with it! "

Lin Yi and Qian Sheng looked at each other.

After counting the words "Liangzhou Ding" that appeared on the "Ladder to Heaven" in Jingjue Kingdom, we once again saw traces of the "Nine Cauldrons of King Yu" that symbolized the common master of the world and the orthodoxy of imperial power.
