"Yunfeng, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like this?"
Xiaoxuan saw me looking at the board in a daze and thought I knew something.
I ignored Xiaoxuan, but stood up and went outside. I walked carefully around the stone house.
I found some foundation structures, stone bricks, and a mixed earth wall that was mostly buried under the sand about twenty meters away from the stone house.
At that time, I was young and knew very little. I only had a glimmer of inspiration, but I still couldn’t figure out the connection.
Anyway, Dou Sprouts took away the sheep's head in a daze, and then one day he suddenly had an idea and thought it might be like this.
The stone sheep head was not for sale. It weighed more than 30 kilograms. Dou Yazai initially said that it was not heavy and would be fine to carry around. Later, after carrying it for a few days, he felt it was too heavy and threw it away. He threw it away because I said the stone sheep head was not for sale. It was worthless and no one wanted it, so we only took away the wooden boards.
Now I think the sheep head should not be thrown away. If I can’t find it, I can sell it for two to three hundred thousand, no problem.
Regarding the Arabic numerals carved on the sheep's head, "03, 5, 26", my inference is that it is definitely related to Yuan Hao's second son Ning Lingge.
The Xixia royal tombs were only discovered in the 1970s.
At that time, a platoon of soldiers from the Lanzhou Military Region was ordered to build a military airport at the foot of Helan Mountain. As a result, they accidentally saw 9 huge mounds of earth exposed in the desert. Then the archaeological team arrived to investigate, and only then discovered that the current Xixia Imperial Tomb Area.
There are nine piles of sealed earth tens of meters high in a row. No one has ever noticed it before. From this, it is not difficult to imagine how remote the location is.
The archaeologists arrived too late, and the superiors made a final decision: "Assemble all comrades to go deep into Helan Mountain and do all-out rescue excavations!"
Later, they discovered more than 700 robber caves, large and small. The earliest robber caves in the imperial tomb area can be traced back to the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, and the latest ones were four or five years ago.
The above-ground structure of the Xixia Imperial Tombs is like an oval pyramid. The underground palace is buried 25 meters underground. The underground palace is connected to the underground palace by a 60-degree stone step extending downward. Due to the lack of burial objects, it is impossible to accurately determine who belongs to the nine large tombs. The imperial mausoleums of the emperors in China have been given names to this day, namely Yuling, Jialing, Tailing, Anling, Xianling, Xianling, Shouling, Zhuangling, and Kangling.
It is speculated that Yuan Hao's mausoleum is most likely Tailing. Yuan Hao had outstanding achievements as the founding emperor, so the mausoleum should be built as grand and majestic as possible. However, the fact is that Tailing is not the largest or the most luxurious. It looks like it was buried in a hurry. The only explanation for this situation is that Yuan Hao died in a hurry.
How did Yuan Hao die?
It sounds too cowardly to say.
He cuckolded his son and slept with his daughter-in-law. When his son found out, he cut off his nose with a knife and died of excessive blood loss.
And this person is his second son, Brother Ning Ling.
Yuan Hao was talented. He founded the country in the northwest, invented writing, and conquered the Song Dynasty. But there was one drawback: Yuan Hao was an old pervert.
He fell in love with his daughter-in-law, and this daughter-in-law even called Yuan Hao daddy.
Isn’t it exciting just thinking about this matter in modern times?
But Yuan Hao didn't think so. He believed in his heart that he was right. My daughter-in-law is your son, but she is also mine. Which one of us follows the other?
The marriage system of Dangxiang people is clearly stated in black and white in the "Tangshu".
"The wives of their concubines, uncles, aunts, sisters-in-law, and children's wives are obscene and obscene. They have children who are a little older. They meet with matchmakers on a regular basis and do not care about their families. There are many mothers in the customs, especially among the barbarian lands."
What does that mean?
The general meaning is that in a family, the man has the highest status (without causing war). In a party family, if the eldest brother dies while fighting outside, another wedding will be held. If the eldest brother’s wife marries the younger brother, and the younger brother also dies while fighting outside, another wedding will be held. , Marrying your sister-in-law to your mother's brother's uncle or something like that is an infinite matryoshka, with no logical and ethical concepts. As long as you have a different surname, you can keep marrying.
The same goes for aunts, sisters-in-law, mothers, all women.
Such a general environment led to the fact that Dangxiang people were very open and advanced about the concepts of love and sex, so these two sentences in the Tang Dynasty came into being.
"As the child grows older, the matchmaker will meet secretly, but the family will not care."
"Those who are in love, hold their heads together, put the rope on their heads, and die suddenly."
It means that when my daughter grew up, she fell in love with a man. One day, the young couple felt that life was boring, so the man and woman found a place in the back mountain to lie down side by side, put a rope around each other's neck, kicked up their legs and hung themselves. .
The next day, the family walked to the back mountain and saw their daughter and son hanging hand in hand. Not only did they not cry, but they also said loudly: "Well done! Dad wishes you happiness in another world! Good luck! Don't send him off!" "
Yuan Hao grew up under this concept. In addition, he was the most powerful emperor of Xixia, so he often attacked the people around him. The book said that Yuan Hao had nine wives, but in fact, the women he had sex with were Roughly speaking, it is no less than three digits.
But Brother Ning is different. Brother Ning went to a private school in the Song Dynasty. When he was studying, there was a Mr. Song Dynasty who taught him what etiquette, justice, integrity and human ethics are. Therefore, Brother Ning had the thoughts of the Song Dynasty people since he was a child. His idea was that his wife should only It is your own and must not be touched by others.
Brother Ning's daughter-in-law's name was not mentioned in the book, but she was very beautiful and outgoing. Yuan Hao had long been salivating and thinking about her day and night. One day, he hooked up with his daughter-in-law through the minister Nori Ronghen. Every time Ye Lirong Rendu arranged for his cronies to drive a carriage to pick up the people and then send them back after spending the night.
Brother Ning was not a fool. His newly married daughter-in-law was away from home every day and kept running away, so he discovered this matter. At that time, Brother Ning was not in a hurry to take action. He also took into account his status as a prince.
Not taking action means that you can't expose this matter, so you have to endure it every day.
What should I do if I can't bear it anymore after a long time? I have to vent my hatred.
Dangxiang broke away from the ancient Qiang people, and black witchcraft was prevalent in the Qiang tribe. There were many examples of ancient rulers trying to kill their opponents with magic, so this is possible.
I guess that the sheep's head is used as a carrier of black witchcraft. The solidified dark red liquid in the bowl may be a mixture of blood, meat, large intestine and other residues, used for sacrifice and spell casting. The Arabic numeral 03 is engraved on the sheep's head. , 5, 26, represents Yuan Hao’s birth date.
After checking the information, he happened to be born on May 26, 1003 AD, which can be regarded as the birth date of the Central Plains area.
I try to restore the scene with words and imagine it boldly.
Late one night more than 600 years ago, it rained lightly.
After putting on make-up, the Crown Princess got into Nori Junghi's carriage and went to the palace. Prince Ning Ge stood in the courtyard covered in rain, watching the carriage go away with bitter eyes.
There are many eyes and ears at the emperor's feet. In order not to be discovered, Brother Ning secretly took his servants to Heishui City at the northern end of Xixia.
In a stone house outside Blackwater City, torches were lit. The tribal wizard hired by Brother Ning danced and muttered to the sheep's head on the table. Under the sheep's head was pressed the portrait of Yuan Hao. Then the servants brought in pig blood. The sheep's blood was poured into the basin. Ning Ge knelt on the ground and cast a curse on the sheep's head in the fire, cursing Yuan Hao to die suddenly.
Back to Xingqing Mansion, a few months later.
Brother Ning found that his curse didn't work, and his wife was getting bolder and bolder, sometimes flirting with Yuan Hao in front of him.
At about one o'clock that night, Brother Ning sat up from the bed. Finally he couldn't bear it anymore. He entered the palace with a sword, kicked open the door of Yuan Hao's palace, and caught the rapist on the spot.
Brother Ning was furious when he saw his wife's posture. He pulled out the sword from his waist and stabbed her with his hand!
Yuan Hao was frightened. He rolled down from the bed naked and dodged the sword. Then, in panic, Yuan Hao yelled for escort and moved to avoid the furious Brother Ning. .
But it's a pity that Yuan Hao failed to move, and Brother Ning looked back and took out! A sword struck Yuan Hao on the nose, cutting off his nose.
Then the guards arrived and put Brother Ning in jail.
Due to excessive bleeding and no antibiotics, Yuan Hao died on the palace bed three days later.
