Chapter 459

The ground of this stone room is still a little wet, which means that water has entered it once, and observing the stone tablet, it can be found that the water level is not too low, and can reach more than half of the stone tablet.

At the same time, there is a long "table" between the stele and Bixi, which feels slightly larger than the sword case imitating the "Salamander".

"Is this place the place where the sword box was originally placed?" Yu Yao thought to himself.

Then how did this "shocked salamander" leave its original position and sink to the bottom of the river?
The door of the tomb has been opened, indicating that this underwater imperial tomb must have been discovered and stolen.

However, this "striking salamander" was not really taken away.

This stone chamber had once been flooded. If the water flooded in after the door of the tomb was opened, and the tomb robbers hadn't taken away the "stunned salamander", it is also possible that the river would sink into the bottom of the river with the influx of water.

However, Yu Yao analyzed it from the perspective of a tomb robber, the possibility of not taking it is not very high. After so much effort, why haven't the things in the tomb been cleaned up?
Then, it is possible that it was taken at the time, but it was accidentally lost in the river and sank to the bottom of the river while going out.

At this time, He Wenguang had already stared at the stele carefully.

Because there is an inscription engraved on this stele!

The other two "divers" took out instruments to detect the air quality in the stone chamber.After the detection, they took off their masks temporarily, and at the same time signaled to Yu Yao and He Wenguang.

The air quality in this stone chamber is acceptable, presumably there are ventilation holes hidden in the mountain.

While taking off the mask, Yu Yao had another doubtful point, a mausoleum, why should there be ventilation holes?

"This is actually an imperial mausoleum!" He Wenguang had roughly read the inscription at this time, and couldn't help but blurt out!

When Yu Yao heard this, he immediately joined in.

While getting together, doubts reappeared.

Although most of the imperial mausoleums of the Eastern Jin Dynasty cannot find specific mausoleum sites, a large area is basically determined according to historical materials and archaeological research. It is just around Jiankang, the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.How could there be an extra underwater mausoleum?
After examining the inscription with Yu Yao's eyes, he realized that although he was the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he was not the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!
"Yeah, he can be regarded as an emperor. But in the end, he was decapitated and regarded as a national traitor. How could there be such a mausoleum?"

In Chinese history, from Qin Shihuang to Puyi, there have been nearly [-] so-called emperors.However, this number is a relatively "watery" algorithm, as long as you become emperor.

Judging from the inscription, this is "Emperor Yongshi of Great Chu".

This man, named Huanxuan, had actually only been emperor for five months. He came to power after forcing Emperor An of Jin to abdicate, changed the name of the country to Chu, and established Yuan Yongshi.

Huan Xuan is the son of Huan Wen.

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, family control was extremely serious. There were "four major families", the most famous of which were the Wang family and the Xie family.The Wang family and the Xie family also produced many cultural celebrities, such as Wang Xizhi and Xie Lingyun.

The other two are the Huan family and the Yu family.

Huan Wen, a representative of the Huan family, has been in power for a long time. Although the three Northern Expeditions were not considered successful in the end, they were considered "capital".

He also once abolished the puppet emperor Sima Yi. One of the reasons was very funny. He said that Sima Yi was dysfunctional in some way. In fact, Sima Yi had several children.

Everyone knows Huan Wen's heart, but due to various reasons, he failed to ascend the throne.

It was his son Huan Xuan who finally forced Emperor Jin to abdicate and ascend the throne, the so-called "Emperor Yongshi of Great Chu", known as "Huan Chu" in history.

In 403 AD, Huan Xuan forced Emperor Jin'an to abdicate and established the Huan Chu regime in Jiankang.

But not long after Huanxuan ascended the throne, Liu Yu (the founding emperor of the Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, nicknamed Jinu) raised the Beifu soldiers to revolt. Huanxuan was defeated and fled to Jiangling, where he was defeated again by the rebel army.In the end, Huan Xuan wanted to avoid the limelight in Shu, but was killed by Feng Qian, the governor of Yizhou, and his head was sent to Jiankang.

How could there be a mausoleum for such an emperor?

While thinking, Yu Yao systematically read the inscription.The inscriptions on the inscriptions are mainly to sing praises, but they are actually not worth seeing.However, there is a sentence in it, "Temporarily put on clothes and crowns, and wait for Longxing to revive".

At the same time, the person who erected the monument also has a "signature".

This man is Huan Shisui, Huan Xuan's younger brother.

After Huan Xuan was killed, Huan Shisui continued to resist the Eastern Jin Dynasty for several years with a part of his troops before he was finally killed.

From these, it is not difficult to deduce that this is Huan Xuan's tomb, because Huan Shisui couldn't get Huan Xuan's head.It can also explain why the mausoleum was secretly built underwater, because it was also the site of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Huan Shisui may have been stationed temporarily, but there is no guarantee of long-term protection.

If Huan Shisui was able to kill the Eastern Jin regime, then he must have rebuilt the imperial mausoleum for Huan Xuan.

But he didn't.So, only this secret underwater mausoleum remains.

It is very likely that Huan Shisui has seen the real "Shocking Salamander", but after Huan Xuan's death, he could not get it. In order to "Dingling" and ensure the safety of the underwater imperial tomb, he imitated the "Shocking Salamander" and placed it in the Where the stele is.

"Go, go in and have a look!" At this moment, He Wenguang said.

The four walked into the open stone door behind the stele.

Behind the door is another corridor.

The corridors run parallel to each other, very damp and smelly.

After walking for 30 meters, it was finally a square platform.One side of the platform is connected to the corridor, and both sides are stone walls, and the innermost side is actually unobstructed. Looking down from the searchlight, it turns out to be a dark river!
The platform is wet.

Yu Yao understood!The water in the stone room where I was just now did not come in from the river outside, it was caused by the surge of water in this underground river!
"What kind of imperial tomb is this?!" He Wenguang frowned.

"The situation was not optimistic back then. It was good to be able to excavate such a place. Presumably this platform was originally intended to build the main tomb, but the mountain wall was suddenly dug open, exposing the underground river, and it was impossible to continue. .” Yu Yao said.

After finishing speaking, Yu Yao began to scan the stone walls on both sides with a searchlight, and looked at one side first, but the chisel was relatively regular, and nothing was found.

"Even if it's a tomb, there must be a coffin. How to put it in this place..." He Wenguang said, sweeping the top with a searchlight.

"So it's a hanging coffin!" He Wenguang called out.

Yu Yao was about to look at the other side of the stone wall, when He Wenguang said this, he immediately looked up.Sure enough, there were four deep holes in the top, which must have been fixed by inserting iron chains or the like.

However, the hanging chain and the coffin are gone, so they must have all been stolen!
Yu Yao sighed, and turned to shine the searchlight on the stone wall on the other side that he hadn't seen yet.

The stone wall on this side is also relatively regular, but there is a square area under the stone wall that seems to be different.

Yu Yao stepped forward and squatted down, "This stone slab seems to be able to be opened!"
