Chapter 243 Major Historical Discovery
"Emperor Wen, Western Han Dynasty..." Cai Pengxi rubbed his forehead.

"During the Western Han Dynasty, apart from the Great Han Dynasty, there was indeed Emperor Wen. Not only Emperor Wen, but also Emperor Wu." Yu Yao continued, "However, what I didn't expect was that there was the golden seal of Emperor Wen, and there was also the letter seal of Emperor Wen. And it's made of yellow wax stone!"

Cai Pengxi said, "Nanyue Kingdom? I thought about this, but I haven't checked it yet."

"Yes, in the tomb of the Nanyue king excavated in Yangcheng, the golden seal of Emperor Wen's seal was found, but no other seals were found. Unexpectedly, your grandson found a yellow waxstone seal of Emperor Wen's seal among the people!"

"I know about this archaeological incident. It seems to be something that happened in the 80s. I really didn't pay much attention."

"The territory of Nanyue Kingdom includes today's Guangdong Province and Guangxi Province. This yellow wax stone was produced in Guangxi Province. It seems that it has been used in the Western Han Dynasty. However, it may be just a piece of jade that was discovered by accident. The cherished carving is a seal. It is not impossible to be exiled among the people later."

"The Nanyue Kingdom should only be a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. It would make sense to use the seal, which is the opposite. But why is the posthumous name used as the seal?" Cai Pengxi really didn't know enough about this period of history.

"Wudi Wendi of the Nanyue Kingdom is not a posthumous title, because they have different rituals from the great Han, and this period of history is also a bit special. In fact, Nanyue Wendi was the Nanyue Wudi before him. He first called himself Emperor Wu, and his grandson Calling himself Emperor Wen."

Emperor Wu of Nanyue, named Zhao Tuo, was once a general of the Qin Dynasty. After the Lingnan was pacified, he was stationed here as an official.After the fall of Qin, Chu and Han fought for hegemony in the Central Plains, and Zhao Tuo in the south of the Lingnan was not idle. He successively took over Nanhai County, Guilin County, and Xiang County, and established the Nanyue Kingdom.

At first, he called himself King Wu.

In addition to today's Guangdong Province and Guangxi Province, the territory of the South Vietnam State also includes a part of Fujian Province, Qiongdao, and part of Vietnam today.Today's Hong Kong Island is naturally within this range.The national capital is set in Panyu, which is within the large area of ​​Yangcheng today.Therefore, the tomb of the Nanyue king was excavated in Yangcheng.

After Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, he thought again and again and felt that it was not appropriate to attack the Nanyue Kingdom, so he sent an envoy Lu Jia to lobby Zhao Tuo. Zhao Tuo finally accepted the Nanyue King Yinshou, and the Nanyue Kingdom became a vassal of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang didn't want to fight South Vietnam for two reasons.First, after many years of war, the Han Dynasty has just been established, and recuperation is a top priority; second, South Vietnam has a natural geographical barrier, which is the five mountains in "Wumeng meandering and fine waves, Wumeng's majestic Niwan", "Lingnan" The ridge also refers to the five ridges.

The success of lobbying Zhao Tuo was also because Liu Bang used the right people.Liu Bang's greatest ability is to employ people.The envoy Lu Jia, comparable to Su Qin and Zhang Yi, followed Liu Bang when he beat Xiang Yu.

After Liu Bang died, Empress Lu was in power for many years, and finally Zhou Bo won the army, and Lu Jia also contributed a lot.

And Zhao Tuo "changed" from King Wu to Emperor Wu during the period when Empress Lu was in power.The reason was that Empress Lu wanted to take back the Nanyue Kingdom and sent troops to attack. As a result, the Han army was defeated before crossing the ridge.

Liu Bang was dead, and his face was torn. Zhao Tuo didn't do anything, so he simply proclaimed himself emperor, calling himself Emperor Wu.

After Empress Lu died, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty Liu Heng came to the throne. He continued to adopt the strategy of his father Liu Bang, and sent Lu Jia again.This time, Zhao Tuo apparently accepted the status of a vassal prince, but in South Vietnam, he continued to proclaim himself emperor.And Liu Heng, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, had no choice but to turn a blind eye.

And Emperor Wen of Nanyue was Zhao Tuo's grandson, named Zhao Hu (one said Zhao Zhen), and was Zhao Tuo's successor.

Zhao Tuo called himself Emperor Wu, and his grandson Zhao Hu called himself Emperor Wen.Zhao Tuo was born as a general and boasted of military exploits, while what Zhao Hu wanted to express was naturally the strength of martial arts.

Therefore, this Emperor Wen is not a posthumous title, but a self-proclaimed honorary title, which Zhao Hu used when he was alive.

Although Zhao Tuo and Zhao Hu have always been called the kings of Nanyue in history, they themselves are called emperors.

Wendi Xingxi, the golden seal, was discovered during the archaeological excavation of the Nanyue king's tomb in Yangcheng.Unexpectedly, Emperor Wen's seal was actually made of yellow wax stone, and it was discovered by Cai Chihuang among the people!

"Old man, your grandson didn't elaborate on the origin of this seal of Emperor Wen, but there must be something there?" Yu Yao continued to ask after the introduction.

"He said that he picked it up by accident in Guishui. He also said that it was a great pleasure for me to study it by myself. He didn't say anything else." Cai Pengxi said, "After I admired it at the time, I temporarily put it away. , I haven’t had time to study it yet. It turns out that you just came, which really saves me trouble!”

"This is a major historical discovery!" Yu Yao sighed.

"I can't donate the treasure my grandson gave me." Cai Pengxi said vigilantly.

"Hey! Old man, where are you thinking?" Yu Yao explained, "I'm just expressing emotion, I have no other intentions."

"You are cooperating with the Special Cultural Relics Investigation Bureau, so I think there is something in your words." Cai Pengxi smiled.

"Two different things. There are so many big collectors in the private sector, and they have a lot of things in their hands. Personally, I think it's all about protection and inheritance. Besides, aren't there many private museums?"

Cai Pengxi nodded, and suddenly looked at Yu Yao, "What do you think if the secret treasure of the Ghost Eye Gate is revealed again?"

"This..." Yu Yao responded, "We have to make a total calculation with all the successors first."

"You just said a private museum..."

Yu Yao said, "Old man, I understand what you mean. With so many heavy weapons, it is possible to open a folk museum alone. This is also a way to comfort Big Palm Eye and Word Palm Eye!"

"Yes, if we can really see the light of day again, those of us squint quietly. It's not interesting, and it also deviates from the original intention of the predecessors. Isn't it for the inheritance of the country's cultural relics? This inheritance is a big inheritance. Build a museum alone Most suitable! We can also prepare a management committee or fund or something."

Yu Yao laughed loudly, "Old man, you are very thoughtful! I agree. However, this matter has not yet come to fruition. Whether it can be completed in this life is still up for debate."

"At my age, I am full of hope. How old are you?"

While talking, the nanny came in, "Master, are the guests staying for dinner?"

"Keep."

"That's what you said this morning, didn't you?"

"Oh, yes, I said in the morning that you should ask the master to cook the belly, right? Just do the belly, and then you have to work hard and add a few special dishes."

"Not only did you ask the master to cook the belly, but you also said that you only need Niu Baiye and Yang Sandan."

"Look at my brain! In this way, you should hurry up and tell the tripe chef in the old shop that all five kinds of beef tripe, tripe kernels, sheep powder, sheep tripe collar, and sheep tripe board are required."

"Okay, old man, I'll arrange it now."

Cai Pengxi smiled at Yu Yao, "Have you ever eaten authentic fried belly before?"

"Not really."

"That's a good time to try it. I like this mouthful. It's crispy and fresh, not greasy or greasy. Master Mei Lanfang also likes this mouthful!"
