Chapter 538 Princess Yu Lu!Taizu Mausoleum!
While they were chatting happily, Liu Jingfeng also came back with the scroll.
"Sorry, it was placed too low. It took me a long time to find it." The scroll still looks like it was just unearthed.
For Liu Jingfeng, the collection value is far greater than the reading value, and he can't understand the text inside anyway.
The first time he saw the book, Xu Yi's eyes went straight!
The moment Liu Jingfeng put the book on the coffee table, he picked it up solemnly and read it carefully!
Seeing his serious look, Lin Ran and Liu Jingfeng looked at each other.
This is not to brag, he should really understand Khitan writing.
They didn't make a sound either, just watching silently.
About 10 minutes later, Xu Yi closed the book and closed his eyes, seeming to be thinking about the contents of the book.
Liu Jingfeng finally couldn't help it, interrupted the silence, and asked: "Brother Xu, what is written in the book?"
"It's a handwritten letter from Khitan Khan Yelu Abaoji to his sister Princess Yulu." Xu Yi said excitedly. "It records his emotional journey of marrying his sister to the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Now that her sister has died of illness, he is very sad and regrets it. ."
They had guessed before that it was a princess from the Liao Kingdom, but they didn't expect it to be the famous Princess Yu Lu!
The Khitan was originally a gathering of many tribes. They elected a khan to command all the tribes.
Originally, according to the agreement, the Kehan system was to be elected every three years. The chiefs of each tribe agreed to this election model. They hoped to take turns taking charge and become the king.
However, Yelu Abaoji, the Khan of the Yelu tribe, quit.
After he became Khan, he abolished this electoral system without authorization, intending to monopolize power for the rest of his life just like the emperor of the Central Plains.
This selfish behavior was of course opposed by other tribal chiefs.
Thus, the Khitan civil war began!
Princess Yulu was the sister of Yelu Abaoji. Just before the rebellion broke out, she was married to the chief of the Xiao tribe.
As a result, before the wedding team arrived, the Xiao tribe sent troops to enter the Khitan capital and force Yelu Abaoji to step down.
He dared to force Khan to confess. In anger, he annulled the engagement, swept the Xiao tribe, and successfully unified the Khitan.
Then, the Song Dynasty sent someone to make peace, and he married Princess Yulu to the Song Dynasty emperor. However, later, a war broke out between Liao and Song Dynasty, and she became a victim again.
Of course, Yelu Abaoji refused to admit that he was killed by poisonous wine given by the Song Dynasty. Even though the two countries were at war at the time, he broke into the capital of the Song Dynasty, dug out his sister's bones, and buried her in a rich burial.
"What a miserable princess." Xu Yi shook his head.
"She is already lucky." Liu Jingfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You don't know how many innocent women were buried with her in the tomb at that time."
At that time, coffins surrounded her coffin, and the horrific scene was vivid in my mind.
"After all, every era has its limitations. This is not Princess Yu Lu's fault." Lin Ran said something pertinent. After all, they both looked at the problem from different standpoints. If there was a conflict, the gain would outweigh the loss.
Lin Ran's words did have an effect, and both of them nodded and stopped arguing.
"Are these contents recorded in the book?" Lin Ran thought to himself, these are not all contents recorded in the "Song Book", and they are specially written in Khitan script. It is really a waste.
"It's more than that." Xu Yi said, "Actually, Yelu Abaoji wanted to take her back to the ancestral tomb for burial. Unfortunately, there are frequent wars between the two countries and it is not convenient to move the tomb. I happened to find this ancient tomb from the Tang Dynasty, just below the ancient tomb. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will move my sister back to the ancestral grave."
Xu Ning did not tell Xu Yi about the situation in the general's tomb, so these contents are absolutely true!
Exactly as they speculated, Xu Yi's understanding of Khitan text was genuine and not just bragging!
The content on the scroll reminded Lin Ran of something.
Mausoleum of Taizu of Liao Dynasty!
The Mausoleum of Taizu of the Liao Dynasty is located in Inner Mongolia. It is the mausoleum of Yelu Abaoji, the founding emperor of the Liao Kingdom.
He was not buried in his ancestral grave as recorded in the book.
But after unifying Khitan and establishing the Liao Kingdom, he hired people to build his personal mausoleum.
At that time, Neon invaded China and robbed tombs in the name of archaeology. They were very interested in the tomb of Taizu of Liao Dynasty and wanted to find evidence from the tomb of Taizu of Liao Dynasty that this area did not belong to China. Therefore, they invested a huge amount of money and dug the ground Three feet, a very large-scale excavation work was carried out for three months.
But nothing was found. There was no way to find the exact location of the underground palace of the Liao ancestor's mausoleum. Even the tomb passage was not found. In the end, the cultural relics on the ground could only be stolen.
Currently, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage protects the Mausoleum of Taizu of the Liao Dynasty. Since there are no people who understand Khitan writing and do not understand the writing on it, the underground tomb has not been excavated.
But now, a Khitan cultural inheritor suddenly appeared!
Does this mean they can conduct protective excavations on this legendary tomb?
Lin Ran couldn't help but get excited and asked, "Brother Xu, if you were asked to translate such a text, how long would it take?"
"I can only describe the general meaning, but it cannot be completely consistent." Xu Yi said, "Many words in Khitan do not have separate meanings, they are only connected together in one sentence, so I don't know how to deal with some missing parts. translate."
"This is enough." Lin Ran thought to himself. If he wanted to excavate the tomb of Taizu of Liao Dynasty, he must at least get the teacher's permission.
There is a stone tablet at the entrance to the tomb of Taizu Taizu of the Liao Dynasty, which should now be protected in the Inner Mongolia Grassland Museum. If the text on it can be translated, perhaps he can convince the teacher and gain further support from the country.
This was something that no one had ever done in his previous life. Thinking of this, he was extremely excited!
But he was so impressive that no one else could see that he was excited.
Liu Jingfeng took back the scroll with a little regret: "Oh, what a pity, I thought it recorded the addresses of other tombs."
"Maybe it is true, maybe." Lin Ran smiled, "But, Brother Liu, do you still have the strength to go to the tomb now?"
"Of course you can go to the grave at any time. After I finish processing the goods, we will ask the mouse to find a grave and we can practice our skills." Liu Jingfeng joked.
There was laughter in the room, and then Liu Jingfeng said to Lin Ran: "Brother Xu Yi has been in the capital for a while, and he hasn't found a suitable job yet. It's not suitable for me here. I wonder if you have a suitable position there?"
Xu Yi seemed to be quite honest. He was not the same person as Yuan Peng before. Moreover, he was a strange person who truly understood Khitan writing. For this reason alone, it was difficult for Lin Ran to refuse his request.
"Okay, but I heard that Brother Xu Yi can make some trinkets. Can you let me see your craftsmanship?"
