739.Chapter 739: The Tomb of Princess Wencheng


As the saying goes, people leave their names when they pass by, and birds leave their voices when they pass by.

Generally, tombstones are erected on the tombs of common people, and the basic information of the owner of the tomb is left on the tombstone, whose last name is who, who set up the tombstone when, etc.

Moreover, for tombs of a certain standard, such as relatives of the emperor, high-ranking officials, merchants, wealthy businessmen, and celebrities, an epitaph was set up in the tomb to describe the life story of the owner of the tomb.

But there are also some famous wordless monuments, and there are a few of the more famous ones.

The wordless stele of Emperor Qin Shihuang’s enshrinement in Mount Tai.

The wordless stele in the Qianling Mausoleum of Wu Zetian.

Fan Kuai, a powerful official in the Southern Song Dynasty and the traitor who killed Yue Fei, also erected a monument without words.

The wordless stele of the Ming Dynasty emperor's Ming Tombs.

The one closest to us is the wordless monument at Sun Shan's mausoleum.

Why is there no words?

That is because the deeds of this person's life cannot be described and expressed in words.

They present two extremes, one is the highest and the other is the lower.

Qin Shihuang unified the country, what a great achievement it was for thousands of years.

He enshrined it in Mount Tai and erected a monument without words.

This is a great achievement and will be remembered for generations to come.

Mr.

Sun Shan led the Revolution of 1911 and overthrew the imperial system.

This is the same great deed.

Fan Kuai betrayed the country and killed Yue Fei, who served the country loyally.

This is the highest level.

It doesn't matter how you describe your great achievements on the monument.

Future generations will naturally reviled you.

This is a shame that will last forever.

As for the wordless stele in Wu Zetian's Qianling Mausoleum, she is the more controversial one.

Because I just learned to fight upside down before, I read a lot of books, especially books that introduced some famous tombs or large tombs.

This Qianling Mausoleum is a biography of it, because there are countless tomb robbers who are thinking about Qianling Mausoleum, and some even Regular troops were used to excavate it, but in the end they still couldn't steal it.

It was really a dilemma for Wu Zetian to erect a wordless monument.

First of all, it was difficult to establish her identity.

She was first a talented person of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, equivalent to the status of a spare concubine; during the reign of Emperor Gaozong, she became the son of the Tang Crown Prince.

The queen of Gaozong Li Zhi, this is a bit that What's the matter?

She was supposed to be Gaozong's maid in name, but she became his queen and was called the Second Saint.

After Gaozong's death, she naturally became the empress dowager.

Later, the Lin Dynasty was reorganized and she proclaimed herself emperor and the country's title.

Dazhou was the emperor for sixteen years.

And Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, was buried in the Qianling Mausoleum.

She was buried with him.

How do you write this stele and how do you call this title?

Should I call you the Great Sage Queen Zetian or the Golden Wheel Sage of the Great Zhou Tiance?

god emperor The reason for this title is one, and the other is the things she has done in her life.

There was no woman in ancient times who claimed to be emperor.

She established herself as emperor and usurped the power of Li Tang.

Although the power was still with Li Tang in the end, the fact is the fact.

The things Wu Zetian did in her life can be described as mixed in merit and demerit.

Therefore, she erected a monument without words.

The merits and demerits of right and wrong will naturally be recorded in history and judged by future generations.

This is also a wise move.

When I came back to my senses, I stared at the wordless monument in front of me, and I was filled with doubts.

Who on earth could have erected a wordless monument in this Tibetan area, under Ramoche Temple?

I walked up to the sarcophagus.

The sarcophagus was actually engraved with a phoenix pattern and beautiful cloud patterns.

It looked like it was made by a top craftsman, and the entire coffin looked perfect.

I couldn't even find the gap between the coffin lid and the coffin. .

In the entire secret room, apart from the wordless tablet, the sarcophagus and the pot fires, there are only murals around it.

If there are any burial objects, they must be in the sarcophagus.

But I don't dare to open the sarcophagus rashly now.

I have to find out who the owner of the tomb is.

I held a flashlight and shined it on the murals on the wall.

The first picture is in a splendid palace complex.

It is a bit like an emperor in the morning, with a group of ministers discussing matters.

However, in the middle of the main hall, there are several people dressed in different clothes, which are obviously different from the court clothes of the surrounding ministers. , and on the side of this mural are the words Five Trial Marriage Envoys.

Seeing these four words, I suddenly remembered the book I had read before, and also remembered two famous historical figures in Tibet, one was Princess Cheng and the other was Princess Jincheng.

The allusion of these five trial marriage envoys is about Princess Cheng.

During the Tang Dynasty, the border countries outside the Great Wall, in order to be friendly with the powerful Tang Dynasty, sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to propose marriage, and asked Li Shimin to marry Princess Cheng to them.

The king of the country, Songtsen Gampo of Tubo, was one of them.

He sent Ludongzan as an envoy.

In the end, Ludongzan fulfilled his mission, passed the five passes, and won over the others.

The second mural is a mighty procession.

The procession should include regular troops and convoys transporting baggage.

At the end of the procession there should be an eight-horse carriage, surrounded by many people on horseback to escort them.

This painting Behind the background is a mountain, and the sun and moon are actually on the mountain.

I took a breath of air-conditioning, and the same was true for the vision that fell from the sky that day.

The words next to this second painting are Chengchusai.

I suddenly remembered that in the Han Dynasty, there was a Zhaojun who went out of the fortress, and now this Cheng goes out of the fortress.

This should mean the same thing.

The court gave the princess to the surrounding forces in marriage.

This is a marriage.

The third painting only has two people in a room.

The female should be Princess Cheng, and the male should be Songtsen Gampo.

However, it seems that Songtsan Gambo is a bit old, while Princess Cheng is very young. , they look like father and daughter, not like husband and wife.

Finally, we arrived at the fourth picture.

It was still the same room, but there was only one person there.

That was Princess Cheng.

She was sitting alone in front of the bed, quietly looking out the window.

There were also the sun, the moon, and even stars outside the window.

Next to her was a dressing table with a bronze mirror that reflected the sun, moon and stars.

The strange thing is that there are no words in the third and fourth paintings, but I can feel the desolation and loneliness in the paintings.

Even in the third painting, it is Princess Cheng serving Songtsen Gampo, like a maid and slave.

Same, pour wine and vegetables for Songtsan Gampo.

Then I looked around again.

It was empty and there was no dowry.

Princess Cheng was still a princess of the Tang Dynasty.

Although she was the daughter of Li Daozong, a close relative of the Li family, she was regarded as a princess by Li Shimin, so she was a princess.

But the standard of the burial was not even as good as that of a country gentleman, a celebrity, or a wealthy businessman.

Seeing this, I instantly lost my mind.

Opening the coffin obviously won't work.

Princess Cheng is a symbol and a historical representative of Sino-Tibetan friendship and harmony.

If I opened her coffin today, I'm afraid she would be wanted nationwide tomorrow.

But when I entered her tomb today and saw the scene in front of me, my mood suddenly became worse.

The empty tomb had absolutely no traces of being stolen.

I must have been the first one to come in.

The murals were damaged because I opened the tomb.

Then the only possibility is that I am the first person to enter this tomb after thousands of years
