Six hundred and fortieth chapters lingering fear (4000)(2/2)
, it was destroyed by my hands, what a sin!"
Wu Liang knew.
Emperor Xiaowu was Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty Liu Che.
And "curtain" means "desert".
"Du Mu" means crossing the desert and going deep behind enemy lines. It was precisely because of this move that the Huns were killed and forced to flee westward, which laid the foundation for the Han Dynasty to establish the Western Regions Protectorate and open up the Silk Road.
This incident was not only a milestone for the Han Dynasty, but also an important milestone in the five thousand years of history of the Celestial Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, the edict issued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has survived to this day. Unfortunately, it was ultimately destroyed at this time...
Thinking of this, Wu Liang couldn't help but feel distressed.
Although he may not be able to leave the edict to future generations, it would be a rare and beautiful thing if he could see the contents of the edict with his own eyes and appreciate through the handwriting the spirit of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty when he commanded his troops to conclude the ceremony.
What a pity...
After calming down, Wu Liang pointed to the dyed clog and said, "There is also this clog, I'm afraid... I just don't know what about the other one?"
He had checked the iron box carefully, but could not find any trace of the other clog.
"Originally, it was supposed to be a pair, which Gaozu got from Afang Palace. Unfortunately, during the Battle of Pengcheng, Xiang Yu used 30,000 troops to defeat Gaozu's 560,000 allied army. Gaozu lost the other one when he fled... and Gaozu used this pair of clogs.
It is left as a treasure passed down from generation to generation by the Han Dynasty, hoping to remind the descendants of the Han Dynasty to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and never to be dazzled by a temporary victory."
Emperor Xian also introduced Wu Liang very cooperatively.
However, this is quite different from the later archaeological circles' belief that "Confucius' clogs" are a symbol of "Taoism." From this point of view, it seems that the later archaeological circles have over-interpreted the meaning of "Confucius' clogs" in fact.
.
besides.
There was no sign of the "Snake Sword" in the iron box. To be precise, there was no weapon stored in the iron box at all.
As for "Wang Mangtou".
Wu Liang finally looked at the wooden box that was suspected to be the source of the black mucus. The one-foot-square wooden box could just fit an adult's head.
"Your Majesty, then this wooden box..."
Wu Liang asked tentatively.
"What's blooming here is Wang Mangtou."
Emperor Xian confirmed Wu Liang's guess and said in detail, "When Wang Mang was killed in rebellion, Emperor Guangwu ordered his head to be embalmed with medicinal stones, and then cast with translucent rosin and stored in a wooden box.
, has since been designated as a treasure passed down from generation to generation, to warn the Han Dynasty and relatives... However, I have only seen this head out of the box twice in my life. Every time I see it, I have nightmares, because the eyes of this head are still round to this day.
Open, if I walk in front of it, I always have the feeling that its eyes are following me, which is really creepy."
"?"
Wu Liang glanced at Emperor Xian in surprise. Is this Wang Mangtou so evil? Or is it just Emperor Xian's illusion?
The more he heard this, the more Wu Liang naturally wanted to open the wooden box and take a look.
So Wu Liang took a step forward and pointed to the gap on the edge of the wooden box and said: "Your Majesty, please look here. The gap here is so wet, and it has been pulled with the mucus in the iron box. I suspect that this is where the mucus seeps out."
Come, please open this wooden box and check it out."
"Then please ask Wu Taishi to open the box for me and take a look. I really don't want to see the head again, so I avoided it first."
Although Emperor Xian happily agreed to Wu Liang's request, he had a lingering fear on his face. As he spoke, he actually turned around and walked away a few feet away with the two eunuchs.
