Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    What the monument is is difficult to explain in just a few words.

    But it is also certain that if you carve words on a stone, it becomes a monument.  Perhaps in the minds of the ancients, stones are immortal for thousands of years, so if words are engraved on them, they can also be remembered for centuries.

    Of course, at the beginning, the words on the stone tablets were usually very casual, and anything could be engraved on them.  However, with the development and progress of the times, the significance of the stele has also increased, and the words on the stele have also begun to pay attention to it.  Not to mention ordinary inscriptions, the most solemn and solemn inscriptions should be the monuments of ancient emperors.

    As an emperor, I am afraid that he cares most about his posthumous evaluation. Even a foolish emperor will not admit that he is ignorant.  After all, not everyone has the mentality of Louis XV, who dares to openly shout that after my death, I will not care about the flood.  To be a human being, you still need a fig leaf.

    So sometimes, the inscriptions that originally recorded achievements slowly began to change, and became a carrier for emperors and generals to whitewash peace and sing praises.  Regardless of whether he has merit or not, he can make something out of nothing anyway.

    In comparison, Wu Zetian is much smarter and very sensible.  Knowing that merit is not something you just say you have, you simply set up a monument without words.  As expected, while future generations criticized her, they did not completely obliterate her achievements, and even gave them relatively high recognition.

    As for the current golden tablet, upon closer inspection, it is also an inscription promoting the emperor's achievements.  Moreover, the entire body is made of gold. This alone is so weighty.

    "Who is so extravagant that he actually used gold to cast the stele? I'm so proud." At the same time, Yu Feibai said in surprise: "Hey, why do I see the achievements on the stele, they seem a bit familiar."

    "He started from humble beginnings. He fought against the Yuan Dynasty with justice, pacified the world, and was named Hongwu Damn, it turned out to be Zhu Yuanzhang."

    In an instant, Yu Feibai reacted, and then he was very surprised and said: "This is actually Zhu Yuanzhang's miraculous merits and virtues stele. No, I have been to Nanjing Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, and there is also a miraculous merits and virtues stele in the stele pavilion in Sifang City  . The tour guide said that Zhu Di wrote the inscription himself and then had it carefully carved. The stone tablet should still be there, so he wouldn¡¯t come here."

    Of course, everyone also understands that this golden tablet is definitely not the same thing as the stone tablet in the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing.  After all, it's not just the size that varies.  The most important thing is that there are high and low materials.  However, everyone is also a little strange. Since there is already a stone monument, why bother to get a gold monument?

    However, this is the detail, the most important thing is the golden monument itself.  At this time, everyone nearby couldn't help but gathered around.  Either looking at the inscription, or touching the golden tablet, with a sighing expression on his face.

    At the right time, someone also asked: "Wang Guan. How did you find out that the stone tablet was wrong?"

    "The cracks are wrong." Wang Guan explained: "General cracks go deep into the monument, or even penetrate the back of the monument. However, these cracks are like spider webs, only cracking on the surface. One by one, they are too superficial.  Seeing this situation, I knew there must be something fishy"

    While speaking, Wang Guan also changed a small hammer, and then said with a smile: "Everyone give way, it's not finished yet."

    "oh."

    Suddenly, Yu Feibai said in surprise: "Could it be said that the big turtle is also made of gold?"

    ¡°I don¡¯t know, so I¡¯m going to confirm.¡±

    Wang Guan smiled, and then he squatted down and tapped Bixi gently, but instead of hitting on the back of the turtle, he hammered carefully under the belly of the turtle.  When the stele was smashed just now, the bottom was also resonated, and the cracks in the stone fragments also spread. Now when I hit it with a little force, it slowly fell off.

    After a while, most of the stones on Bixi's body were cleared away, and his true colors were slowly revealed.

    There is no doubt that Yu Feibai guessed it right. After wiping the dust off the stone, everyone could see very clearly that Bixi was indeed made of gold.  However, some people have noticed that Bixi is not purely made of gold. As for the tortoise shells on Bixi's back, they are not stamped and cast, but are actual tortoise shells.

    Pieces of tortoise shells are perfectly inlaid on Bixi's back. If Bixi's head and limbs were not all yellow, everyone might really think that this is a living, thousand-year-old tortoise.

    But then again, even though Bixi is a statue, the tortoise shell must be a real tortoise shell.  It should have been taken from the armor of a real thousand-year-old tortoise, and then transplanted and mounted on the back of the Bixi statue.

    "It is indeed made of gold."

    At this time, Yu Feibai clicked his tongue and said: "Now I finally understand why the treasury of the ancient imperial court was always empty. The gold and silver in the love were all misappropriated by the emperor."

    Although this is somewhat biasedQuite, but it doesn't make sense.  Throughout the dynasties, whether it was a wise and mighty emperor or a mediocre and unprincipled monarch, there were times when money was spent like water and without restraint.  Some people may find it strange that it is understandable that a foolish emperor is extravagant and lustful, but why is it that a wise emperor spends money so much?

    "In fact, in the king's opinion, sometimes a wise monarch causes more harm.  Because they like to mess around the most. To put it bluntly, they are very happy about their achievements.  The most famous examples are Emperors Qin Emperor Hanwu, Sui Yang Emperor, Tang Xuanzong, Kangxi Qianlong and other emperors.

    Objectively speaking, none of these emperors were fools. They could be called wise and mighty, but they were so fickle that they ruined the country, or directly turned from prosperity to decline.  In comparison, Hunjun is a little better. At least he knows that he is not capable of messing around, and he doesn't want to mess around. He can just enjoy himself with peace of mind. Maybe the people will live better.

    ¡°Don¡¯t know where things come from?¡±

    At the same time, Yu Feibai was a little curious and started thinking about it seriously.

    "Judging from the inscriptions, the stone stele in the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is exactly the same." Mr. Qian muttered: "According to historical records, after Zhu Di seized the throne, he issued an edict to mine huge stele materials in Yangshan, the eastern suburbs of Nanjing. At that time, Zhu Di was very ambitious.  We plan to excavate an unprecedented huge stone tablet to highlight Zhu Yuanzhang¡¯s achievements.¡±

    "Of course, this matter also has a certain political significance. The main purpose is to appease the hearts of the people all over the world through this matter. However, because the stone tablet was too large, it could not be moved out at all, so the matter fell into nothing. Later, Zhu Di  Now that we were secure, we simply built a replacement, which is now the stone tablet in the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty."

    Mr. Qian explained, and then speculated: "But not long after, Zhu Di began to move the capital, abandoned Nanjing, and set the capital in the current capital. Perhaps after moving the capital, he missed Zhu Yuanzhang, so he asked people to cast this piece in gold.  Something. After being passed down for a hundred or two hundred years, during the turmoil in the late Ming Dynasty, it was covered up with blinding methods"

    "It sounds reasonable."

    Everyone next to him nodded gently, and he could continue to push down, hiding the original face of the golden turtle and gold monument, and then in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, he was stolen overseas.  Regardless of whether this is true or not, as long as everyone thinks it is.  Besides, there is no significant significance in studying the ins and outs of it. It is more comfortable to watch gold.

    ¡°Don¡¯t just look at the gold.¡±

    At this time, Mr. Zhou signaled: "You can see clearly that there is a piece of tortoise shell missing on Bixi's back."

    Under Mr. Zhou¡¯s reminder, everyone quickly looked around and discovered the situation.  As expected, a piece of tortoise shell was missing from Bixi's back, but as everyone's attention was focused on the gold, they ignored it for a while.

    Now that I saw it, anyone with a discerning eye would quickly react and quickly look back at the solitary tortoise shell piece on the table nearby.  There is no doubt at all. Judging from the shape and line points of the tortoise shell, this piece of tortoise shell should be the same as the tortoise shell on Bixi's back.  I don¡¯t know why, but it was taken down and scattered all over the place.  Speaking of which, it can be considered a reconciliation now.

    "It's weird."

    Yu Feibai was impatient, so he quickly took the tortoise shell piece from the table, placed it on the gap on Bixi's back, and pressed it slightly, and the entire tortoise shell immediately became intact.

    Everyone looked around and saw that on a pair of intact tortoise shells, those lines and dots did form an astrological map.  At first glance, it looks like an eternal monument has been erected in the vast and boundless starry sky.  Obviously, erecting a monument on the back of a tortoise and carving a star diagram on the tortoise shell should have such symbolic meaning.

    "Wang Guan, how do you know that this piece of tortoise shell is the missing piece of Bixi?"

    At the same time, Yu Feibai asked curiously: "There is also this Bixi, there are so many tortoise shells on its back, why did only one piece fall off? And it doesn't seem to fall off naturally, it seems to be peeled off artificially."

    "I first saw the tortoise shell and was very impressed. Then I went to the United States and saw this Bixi in the warehouse of the manor. Suddenly, I felt that there was something wrong with the Bixi. After research, I found that there was something wrong with the cracks.  .¡±

    Wang Guan explained: "Actually, what I just wanted to say was that I discovered the tortoise shell first, so I planned to get the Bixi back. I didn't expect that there is really a connection between them"

    "correct."

    At the right time, Wang Guan didn't want everyone to dwell on this issue, so he immediately diverted everyone's attention: "Have you noticed that there is something wrong with Bixi's head?"

    "What's wrong?"

    Everyone looked at it. After looking at it, some people suddenly realized it, while others were confused.

    "The head of the pig is usually straightened and raised. Because it has to bear weight, when crawling with weight, it must express tension, soThat's enough image.  However, now it is half-shrunk, as if hiding in the carapace, not powerful enough.  "

    While speaking, Mr. Zhou frowned and said: "It seems like there are some problems. It doesn't look very coordinated."

    "Could it be that there's something fishy about it?"

    Yu Feibai reacted quickly and quickly reached out to touch Bi Xi¡¯s head, suddenly becoming thoughtful.  After rolling his eyes, he seemed to have a flash of inspiration and pressed directly on the tortoise shell that had just been put back together.

    "Crack!"

    At this moment, Yu Feibai seemed to press hard, and everyone heard a slight sound, and then saw Bi Xi's shrunken head suddenly bounce, and then stretched out straight

    "I knew there must be an agency."

    In an instant, Yu Feibai was in high spirits, with a look of pride on his face.
