"No, this is completely inconsistent with the chronicles of the ancient Shanshan Kingdom in the Xuan Shu Iron Ticket." Yue Guanchao continued: "The legend of the ancient Shanshan Kingdom is recorded in the Xuan Shu Iron Ticket..."
According to the legend of Xuan Shu Tie Guan, the ancient Shanshan Kingdom was located near the Tianshan Mountains and was a desert dynasty with a strong sense of mystery.
This is the transfer station of the Silk Road and the end point of the Hexi Corridor. Because it is close to the main Silk Road trade line extending from the Central Plains, it has developed very prosperously through trade and the flow of goods. This is completely consistent with Steinhein's investigation. Corresponds.
However, Steinhein did not mention the issue of succession to the throne of the ancient Shanshan Kingdom at all.
According to the records of the Xuan Shu Iron Coupon, the biggest difference between the Shanshan royal family and other desert royal families is that the Shanshan royal family is succeeded by women, which is particularly special when other small countries are succeeded by men. At the same time, the Central Plains dynasty, Shanshan Kingdom, could be regarded as going in the opposite direction.
In the Central Plains dynasties, there were indeed many cases of women ruling the government. However, the legal system of these women's ruling countries came from the deceased emperor's husband or the son of the emperor who ascended the throne. In other words, their legal system was completely based on the fact that they were male emperors. On the basis of family members.
From Empress Dowager Xuan, Empress Lu, Dou Yifang, to Wei Zifu and Wang Zhengjun, their power all came from the descendants of the emperors of the Han Dynasty. Without the emperor's legal authority, their rule would only be in danger, and they would eventually be defeated by the forces of the Qing emperor. Quit Game of Thrones completely.
This point alone is completely different from the ancient Shanshan Kingdom. Every monarch in the Shanshan Kingdom is a female. This means that they let women succeed. It is not that they cannot find male heirs, but that the system and legal principles are exactly the same, and the number of male heirs is different. It has nothing to do with quality.
In other words, the ancient Shanshan Kingdom was a country ruled entirely by female monarchs!
To put it more simply, in the ancient Shanshan Kingdom, only women could legally inherit the throne. Regardless of whether the head of the country had male descendants or not, only the princess or princess could legally win the throne.
The explanation for this in the Xuan Shu Iron Coupon is related to the Yin Yu Pei!
The people of the ancient Shanshan Kingdom are willing to rule the country with a female monarch, which is closely related to the fish pendant passed down from generation to generation in the Shanshan Kingdom. It is said that wearing this fish pendant can understand all the unsolved mysteries, calculate all the disasters and good things that have happened in the world, and even... It can turn deserts into oases out of thin air, and dry roads into rivers.
Such a magical fish pendant has an extremely strange feature, that is, it can only be controlled by women.
If it is obtained by a man, it will be no different from an ordinary stone, without any magical power. In their concept, only the real king can use this jade pendant. If the king cannot use this jade pendant, then it is not The real king is just a bluffing fake king.
It is impossible for such a king to gain the respect of the people, let alone lead the people to resist various hazards and disasters from the desert.
Under the influence of this jade, it is logical that women will inherit the throne of the king. The Shanshan royal family also ensures that the power of the jade pendant will always be in the hands of the king through female heirs.
This system of female heirs lasted for nearly two hundred years from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the early Tang Dynasty. During this period, the ancient Shanshan Kingdom also produced nearly twenty-five Shanshan queens.
During the Queen's two-hundred-year reign, the female monarch gave birth directly, and her children's bloodlines were more fixed and clear. As long as they were born from the Queen, there was basically no doubt about the bloodline. The purity of the bloodline made Shan The good royal family values pure blood.
Generally speaking, in order to improve the legitimacy and stability of their rule, ancient rulers would make a big fuss about blood and legal traditions, and Queen Shanshan was no exception. According to the records of Shanshan Kingdom, Queen Shanshan was the patron saint of oasis and desert. , is also the ruling god of Shanshan Kingdom. At the same time, she is also a goddess who is favored by heaven and can communicate with heaven and earth.
This statement marks the beginning of the evolution of Queen Shanshan from a human king to a god king. At the same time, the Shanshan royal family also respects themselves as the bloodline of the goddess, which in disguise consolidates the idea of the queen as a god.
Once the royal family is deified, their status will continue to be elevated until they become real living gods. Queen Shanshan has experienced several generations of deification and began to develop from a ruling entity to a ruling entity. After that, the queen no longer has a name and appearance. She no longer appears in front of people, and only exists in this world with the title of Queen Shanshan or Queen Shanshan.
Regardless of whether they are priests of Shanshan Kingdom, courtiers, guards, or foreign envoys, they cannot meet the queen directly. They need to see the queen from a distance through a veil, or wait for the queen to summon them. Other than that, no one has the opportunity to contact the queen. .
This vague image caused confusion in commemorating the Queen's Geng Year. No one knows how old the Queen is, nor how long she has ruled Shanshan. They only know that where the Queen is, there will be peace. Otherwise, it will be inevitable. A disaster occurred and was swallowed up by the endless desert.
When the mystery becomes invisible, the truth becomes further and further away, and Queen Shanshan gradually becomes nothing more than a legend.
Finally, as Li Tang opened the Hexi Corridor, the ancient Shanshan Kingdom disappeared into the depths of the desert with the queen.
When Yue Guanchao said this, he questioned: "According to the records of the Xuan Shu Iron Coupon, the Shanshan Kingdom lasted only more than two hundred years from the establishment of the queen's ruling system until its demise in the early Tang Dynasty. This is similar to the Guozuo of the ancient Shanshan Dynasty researched by Stein Hein. There are some discrepancies.”
"According to this old foreign dog's research, the Shanshan Kingdom existed for at least 600 to 800 years. Looking back from the demise of the Shanshan Kingdom in the early Tang Dynasty, the point where the queen system was truly determined was probably the end of the Three Kingdoms and Two Jin Dynasties in the Han Dynasty. So this It also means that from the beginning of the Han Dynasty to the end of the Three Kingdoms and Two Jin Dynasties, there were still nearly 600 years when male kings ruled the ancient Shanshan Kingdom."
Yue Guanchao narrowed his eyes when he said this: "What happened in such a long time to establish the queen's rule system?"
"In other words, the history of the ancient Shanshan Kingdom has actually been seriously misrepresented. The real time of its existence is only two hundred years. The first six hundred years were completely false reports by Stein Hein to decorate the appearance. The next two hundred years are the actual state. ?”
Everyone present could understand Yue Guanchao's question. There was indeed a big discrepancy between Steinhein's research and the legend. If this problem could not be solved, then no matter which theory it was, it could only be doubtful.
Song Siyuan thought for a moment and then said: "In the classics of the same period, the ancient Loulan Kingdom was indeed mentioned, which shows that the Shanshan Kingdom had indeed emerged in the Han Dynasty. Probably at the end of the Three Kingdoms and Two Jin Dynasties, the ancient Shanshan Kingdom established the queen succession system, and It took two hundred years for it to perish in the early Tang Dynasty."
"I read the documents carefully just now. Steinhein mainly researched the tombs of the ancient Shanshan Kingdom and inferred the existence of the ancient Shanshan Kingdom from nearby architectural sites. As for why the queen system did not appear until six hundred years later, this is really not reflected. It’s in the inspection report.”
"However." Her eyes lit up: "This does not necessarily mean that Steinhein's investigation report is false. This kind of investigation report can be published in a natural geography magazine, and the authenticity of the data and evidence can be guaranteed. We only We can guess what major events happened in the ancient Shanshan Kingdom during the two hundred years from the Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, which caused the male heir system to disappear and transform into the queen inheritance system."
