Chapter 466 The Secret Inside the Carriage
Su Bai also climbed into the carriage, and the fat man's few will-o'-the-wisps were suspended in the carriage, illuminating the place quite clearly;
"Dabai, do you know what this word is?"
the fat man asked.
At the bottom of the carriage, there are many grooves with mysterious patterns. Because the carriage is large, the bottom area is also very large, and the patterns are very fine. It seems that if you look at it a few more times, your whole mind will be unbearable. I can't help but get addicted to it.
Su Bai didn't know the formation, but even a fool could tell that this thing was unusual.
As for the characters that the fat man asked about, they should be on the walls of the carriage. There are no illustrations, but there are some characters. There are not many characters, but they are all obscure and difficult to understand. For a layman, they can tell that they are ancient Chinese characters. .
"Xiaozhuan." Su Bai replied, "It's Xiaozhuan."
"Damn, yes, Dabai, I feel like you can go to university and become a history professor now." Fatty exclaimed, because he discovered the teleportation circle in the carriage. For Fatty, on the one hand, there was a chance of getting out alive. I felt a lot more relaxed. On the other hand, I was happy to see Hunter. As an array master, encountering a well-preserved array from the pre-Qin period was really no different from a pervert seeing a beautiful woman.
"I used to have a lot of seals collected in my study. Most of the words on the seals were in small seal script." Su Bai exhaled and stretched out his hand to touch the wall gently. "The small seal script was implemented after Qin Shihuang unified China." The cultural unification policy of "the same text, the same track for cars" and the unification of weights and measures was the responsibility of Prime Minister Li Si. On the basis of the large seal script originally used by the Qin State, he simplified it, canceled the other Six Kingdoms scripts, and created a unified script. It was only after the end of the Western Han Dynasty that it was gradually replaced by the official script, but the seal still retained the habit of using small seal script for engraving."
Su Bai turned around and looked at the fat man, "Since this is a carriage escorted by the army during the Qin Dynasty, it is of course normal for small seal characters to appear in the carriage."
"Can you understand Dabai?" the fat man asked.
Su Bai shook his head, "I only know a few words, but I can't understand what these paragraphs mean. The old professor should be able to understand it, right?"
"He can understand it. There must be some message hidden in it. Each of us can understand it, but I always feel uneasy." The fat man said what was in his heart.
"At this time, he shouldn't be hiding anything. Doesn't the magic circle below have to be repaired and activated by you and the man named Zhou? They are just using each other."
At this time, the young man surnamed Zhou and the old listeners who had finished their kowtows outside also began to come back. The old listener climbed in through the car window first, followed by the young man surnamed Zhou.
"There is no food and water here, Fatty. How long will it take for the two of you to activate this circle?" Su Bai asked.
The young man surnamed Zhou pondered for a while, and looked at each other with the fat man. "The magic circle is well preserved. Even the spiritual power required for activation can be replaced by the blood essence of the four of us. But what the two of us have to do now is the preliminary work." Find out some of the context of the magic circle, so as to ensure that we can be teleported upward instead of left, right or downward. This magic circle is too profound. The two of us can only barely determine one direction. As for It is impossible to fix a specific coordinate to a specific location."
The fat man nodded, "This formation, even the Western space magic enhanced audience will probably be blinded. Although there are many formations handed down in the East, which are somewhat similar to this one, I have never seen it so original. It’s completely orthodox. If you just want to teleport us upwards, it will take about twelve hours to figure it out and start it.”
"Twelve hours." Su Bai pursed his lips. "Twelve hours without eating or drinking is not a big problem."
The old audience member interjected at this time, "Aren't you curious about what the Qin army of two hundred people is doing escorting the carriage deep into the hinterland of Tibet?"
"Old man, if you fart, let it go as soon as possible. We are not here for an outdoor archeology class." The fat man muttered.
The old professor shook his head, obviously dissatisfied with the fat man's "learning attitude". He pointed to these words and said, "According to the words above, this Qin army was escorting a princess to the depths of Tibet. tribe."
"Marriage?" asked the young man named Zhou.
This is normal. Although the young man surnamed Zhou is not a mainlander, the history textbooks in Taiwan are mostly similar except for the two major aspects of modern history and historical peasant uprisings.
Since ancient times, the Central Plains dynasty has sent princesses to barbarians, which has always represented a kind of compromise and humiliation.
"Is this a marriage team?" Fatty asked in disbelief, "Was there a powerful country in Tibet back then? So powerful that the First Emperor had to send his princess to marry him?"
The old professor seemed very satisfied that the fat man and the young man named Zhou had wrong ideas, which gave him the satisfaction of teaching:
"No, no, Ying Zheng is a man who compares himself to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, so he calls himself emperor. He is the first to truly unify China, and he is called Zulong by later generations.
Do you want a person like this to swallow his anger? Are you asking him to be humble to other countries? Is it even possible to send the princess to get married? "
"Damn, you're still showing off!" the fat man said dissatisfied.
"This princess was sent to the depths of Tibet to hold the Ancestral Dragon Letter Talisman, representing the Ancestral Dragon to integrate the Tibetan ancestor tribes at that time." The old professor looked at the text on the wall and said, "She was not sent to be the wife of the tribal leader. , but let the Tibetan ancestor tribe at that time give her a grandson."
"This is what is written on this wall. There is another one on the opposite side, and the font is different from the one on this side. It should have been written later." Su Bai pointed to the wall of the carriage opposite and asked.
"Well, yes, it was written down later." The old audience member walked to the opposite side and took out his ruler so that the small seal characters could be seen more clearly. "The meaning of the record here is that the princess was escorted to Tibet. After that, holding the ancestral dragon letter talisman, he quickly took the ancestor tribes in Tibet under his command. At first, they fought with people with wings, who would turn into bats, blood-sucking people, werewolves, and strangely dressed people. The army fights.”
A scene from the vampire's memory immediately appeared in Su Bai's mind. Could it be that Alexander the Great came here during his Eastern Expedition? But the two people don't seem to match up in historical time. There is a hundred-year time gap between Alexander the Great and the First Emperor. Even if there is an error in the calculation of historical time, it will not be such a big difference.
But the words that followed explained Su Bai's doubts.
"Those strange armies must have been defeated. They were driven from the west to the east. They wanted to establish a new territory here to recuperate. The princess led the Tibetan ancestor tribes to fight with them for a long time. Finally, The princess won the victory, captured many of them, and sent people to escort them back to Xianyang to offer prisoners to Zulong."
Alexander the Great's army was defeated by a terrifying entity, and then the remnants fled eastward and ran into the Tibetan ancestor tribe alliance army organized by the Princess of Qin. As a result, the defeated army from the west was defeated.
This corresponds to the second paragraph in the memory screen. The vampires in the research institute should have been taken as prisoners and sent to the First Emperor of Xianyang.
Su Bai thought so in his heart.
"It's just..." The old professor paused, as if he had difficulty understanding the last few paragraphs.
"Fuck, you've got it right again, tell me quickly, the story is exciting!" the fat man urged.
"I can't understand the last two paragraphs either. The rough translation is that darkness fell and a truly terrible enemy appeared. The Tibetan ancestor tribe under the princess was defeated by that terrible enemy. The alliance also collapsed. Many The ancestors of Tibet crawled under the feet of darkness and begged for their lives. The princess led two hundred Qin troops to resist, and were finally forced into this desperate situation. The last few words were that the princess asked the First Emperor to send the Qin army from the country to rescue them as soon as possible. The ancestors of Tibet The tribe is vulnerable to darkness, and only the Qin army can defeat it."
At this point in the translation, the old audience member pointed to the signature at the bottom and said, "The following is the most incredible place for me. This princess left her signature here, and she is actually called - Princess Wencheng."
"Princess Wencheng, isn't she from the Tang Dynasty?" Fatty still knew this historical common sense.
"Yes, Princess Wencheng is indeed from the Tang Dynasty, and this is the army of the Qin Dynasty. It cannot be that she has traveled through time." The old man in the audience agreed.
"Perhaps, this is the real Princess Wencheng, and the one from the Tang Dynasty may be a coincidence, but it is also possible that Li Shimin deliberately created this title to disgust Songtsen Gampo at that time." Su Bai speculated, "After all, , Li Shimin is the emperor, and he is assisted by people like Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang who can write "Tui Bei Tu". It is not impossible that he knows some secrets about this Qin Dynasty period."
"Yes, little friend, what you said makes sense. Perhaps, it really may be like this!" The old man in the audience said excitedly, "This is the real Princess Wencheng!"
"Please, why did Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty become a fake for no reason?" The fat man said a little confused, "Didn't Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty fall in love with Songtsen Gampo and establish a hundred-year peace between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo? Have you made a great contribution to historical peace?"
The old audience and Su Bai looked at Fatty together, as if they were looking at a fool. Fatty's historical level was really only suitable for reading textbooks and "Huanzhugege".
Su Bai had to explain, "The story of Princess Wencheng and Songtsen Gampo was mostly written by Han historians in the Spring and Autumn Period. Since ancient times, for the Central Plains dynasties, sending princesses to barbarian lands for marriage has been a common practice. It's an extremely humiliating thing.
In fact, Songtsen Gampo initially sent an envoy to Chang'an to request Tang Taizong Li Shimin to give him a princess as his wife, but Li Shimin simply looked down on the leader of the barbarian tribe and directly rejected it.
Later, Songtsan Gampo led the Tibetan army to fight directly and fought with the Tang army. Li Shimin finally surrendered and selected a girl from the clan to be granted the title of Princess Wencheng and let her go to Tibet to marry Songtsan Gampo. Use it as a marriage proposal, as a gift to a woman, to ensure peace.
As for what is written in current history textbooks about how Princess Wencheng became inseparable with Songtsan Gampo after entering Tibet, how Princess Wencheng spread Han culture, how she was loved by Tibetans, and how she established the two ethnic groups. The peace of more than a hundred years is the result of the Spring and Autumn Period brushwork.
In fact, Songtsen Gampo had five wives at that time. After marrying Princess Wencheng, her status was equivalent to that of the youngest wife, and even her title was the lowest. Isn’t there a scenic spot in Lhasa called the Jokhang Temple, which is now promoted It was built by Songtsen Gampo for Princess Wencheng. In fact, it was built for Princess Chizun who married from Nepal. That woman was the official wife and princess. It was built for Princess Wencheng. It was originally the Ramoche Temple.
The peace brought about by the marriage lasted less than twenty years, and then Tubo was completely at war with the Tang Dynasty. The two sides fought for nearly a hundred years. Tubo not only annexed the achievements of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions for decades. , and once occupied Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the theory of peace and friendship was deliberately modified by historians of all dynasties to avoid looking too ugly.
Now, Princess Wencheng's greatness and role have been falsely, exaggerated and politicized. "
"why is that?"
"National harmony and national unity are greater than the sky." Su Bai concluded, "On this general policy and basis, even the law can be ignored, let alone modifying and blurring the so-called history.
The story of Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty is actually very similar to the ancient Silk Road. Officials constantly promoted it, and even leaders would shout these slogans to win over domestic ethnic groups and relations with foreign countries.
In fact, those with some historical skills and common sense can see these clues. The specific story of Princess Wencheng can be found in history books. There are even Tibetan history books that can be used as evidence. The Silk Road is a hundred A theory that was casually named by a German explorer many years ago has now become a myth. This is politics, a bit like the emperor’s new clothes. "
The old man in the audience nodded, which meant that he agreed with Su Bai's statement, and said at the same time,
"Now it seems that Li Shimin had no choice but to hold his nose against Tubo, so he had no choice but to make a marriage. And when he gave Princess Wencheng the title, he either happened to be in a car accident;
Or, it may be that he may really know some secrets about the Qin Dynasty, so he gave this title with the intention of deliberately disgusting the Tubo people;
Li Shimin may even have a little fantasy, hoping that this Princess Wencheng can hold all the power of the Tibetan tribes in her hands like the one in the Qin Dynasty. "
