"Five years, Prime Minister Lu Buwei made an imperial edict, Minister Gongyin? What does that mean? "
Fatso knew what those words were from Su Bai's voice. Fatso couldn't be blamed. Fatso was definitely a smart person in other aspects, but when it came to history, he was really only at the level of "Princess Pearl."
"Ever since Shang Yang's reform, the Qin Dynasty has been governed by the ideology of Legalism. The ideology of Legalism has been integrated into every aspect of the country, to the point that every weapon is strictly inspected when it is manufactured. Once there is a flaw in the quality of the weapon, none of the people who are responsible for it will be able to escape.
The 'five years' in the inscription refers to the fifth year of the reign of the Qin Dynasty, which is 242 BC. 'Prime Minister' refers to the 'Prime Minister' in the ancient records. The Han Dynasty changed the name to 'Prime Minister' to avoid the taboo of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang. The 'Map' in the inscription refers to the name of the place. 'Minister Gongyin' refers to the supervising officials and craftsmen. "
Su Bai explained to Fatso in a low voice. At the same time, the two of them followed the large group in front of them. Fortunately, no one paid attention to their whispers because many people were whispering to each other.
Klaus and the man surnamed Zhou walked together, the woman in the down jacket and the old man walked together, Su Bai and Fatso walked together, and Chuyi walked alone. Everyone was whispering to each other.
"The fact that a spear from the Qin Dynasty appeared here means that the Qin army was here?"
Fatso was a little surprised. Ever since Su Bai and Gyatso sat together and came up with the conclusion, he had used his phone to catch up on the history of the Qin Dynasty. It was just that it wasn't very systematic or detailed.
"I don't know. According to the 'Historical Records: Emperor Qin's Chronicle', 'The east reaches the sea and Korea, the west reaches Lintao and Qiangzhong, the south reaches Hubei, the north reaches the river, and the north reaches Liaodong.' The 'Qiangzhong' here is an ancient place. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, it referred to the areas inhabited by the Qiang people, including present-day Qinghai, Tibet, northwestern Sichuan, and southwestern Gansu.
But we are now in the deepest part of Tibet, not too far from the border. The Qin Dynasty did not really rule over Tibet. At that time, Tibet should still be a small tribe living in the primitive period. I remember that it was not until the establishment of Tubo that Tibet could be considered to have its own political representative. The most famous story is the story of the Tubo King Songzan Gampo and Princess Wencheng. But that was during the Tang Dynasty of China. It should be 800 years away from the time of Emperor Qin Shi Huang. "
"Tibet is so big. Why didn't the First Emperor conquer it? I checked the map of the Qin Dynasty a few days ago. Tibet is such a big place. Taking it down is almost equal to expanding the territory of the Qin Dynasty. "
Su Bai rolled his eyes at Fatso. "What's the point of taking it down? Can it be farmed? The land is sparsely populated, the weather is not good, and it's a plateau. How much power of the Central Plains Dynasty will be consumed to take it down? What can we get from here? Taking it down is a losing deal. So it was not until the rise of the Mongols that they completely conquered Tibet and integrated it into their territory because of their special political system and national character. The Central Plains Dynasty only had a minister stationed in Tibet during the Qianlong period. The original intention was to have equal law enforcement power with the Tibetan government in Tibet, but it was more of a form of rule. The real integration of Tibet into the territory of China was because it courted death and rebelled, giving the People's Liberation Army a reason and excuse to enter Tibet to suppress the rebellion. "
"So this means that at that time, a Qin army came to the plateau for a tour?" Fatso was a little dizzy. "Relying on horse riding and running to get here, they really have nothing to do."
"Let's go in first and see. I reckon that since we found the Qin Dynasty's spear on the periphery, there should be other discoveries inside."
In front of them, there was a concave space on the inside of the rock wall of the crack. Because it was very deep underground, and because it was originally a crack exposed by an earthquake, the "original ecology" below was perfectly preserved. From inside, crystals could be seen flashing, and there was also a layer of ice. It was as if a refrigerator as big as a square had been opened. The gloomy chill forced the people outside to shrink their necks subconsciously, even the audience.
"It's so cold, it's definitely not because of the climate. It's not that simple."
The older audience member stood up and spoke at this time. At the same time, he stared coldly at Klaus.
"Mr. Klaus, we're already here. Before we go in, you should at least tell us what's inside. Humans die for wealth, just as birds die for food. We all know and can understand that there's definitely danger inside. But if you're not even willing to tell us what's inside, we'd rather stop here."
The rest of the audience was also looking at Klaus. It was obvious that this was the best time to collectively demand the right to know. Everyone was willing to risk their lives, but no one wanted to die in a dangerous situation when they were defenseless.
"There's a snake inside, a spiritual snake born from the integration of evil energy. This snake is not very strong, but it has the right time, place, and people here, so it's very tricky to deal with. Even the experienced audience members will be trapped here forever if they're not careful. To be honest, I've been in there before, and I almost didn't come out," Klaus explained to everyone with a smile.
"Then you should go first," the old audience member said.
"Of course." Klaus bowed slightly and took the initiative to walk in.
The rest of the audience followed behind him slowly.
"Hey, Da Bai, that black guy suddenly became so polite. I'm not used to it," Fatso muttered.
"Let's pay more attention. By the way, did the formation you left behind sense those Lamas?" Su Bai asked.
"No, not at all," Fatso said with certainty.
"That's strange. If those Lamas didn't secretly follow us from behind, could it be that they're waiting for us inside?" Speaking of this, Su Bai's mind suddenly lit up, as if he had caught on to something.
After being reminded by Su Bai's words, Fatso's face also showed a look of horror. "It's really possible. They must have explored this place before. Even if they didn't go into the deepest part, they're familiar with the environment here. Previously, they must have planned to gather some listeners to explore the deepest part of the secret. Now, it's very likely that they're taking a step back and tricking the listeners here so that they can quickly recover from their injuries.
"These Lamas are best at saying one thing and doing another. Last time, they tricked Gyatso and us by using this trick, which is most likely to minimize the possible punishment from the broadcast. "Da Bai, then are we really going to continue to go in? This is not 'nothing ventured, nothing gained', but we're going into the tiger's den even though we know there's a tiger in the mountain."
"Let's go a little further in and take a few more glances. Then, we'll come out."
Su Bai let out a long sigh of relief. Obviously, he had made a deep psychological struggle. It was true that the Qin Dynasty's weapons had been discovered outside. Su Bai really wanted to see if there was anything related to the Qin Dynasty inside. This was not because Su Bai was obsessed with archaeological research. In fact, Su Bai did not have such a hobby. But now, according to the theory that he and the monk had explored, the history of Earth had been cut off before and after the death of Emperor Qin Shi Huang. Now, the things about Emperor Qin Shi Huang in the East and the things about Alexander the Great in the West represented no longer simple and pure history, but a kind of worldview.
The deeper they went, the lower the temperature became. Even the listeners could not adapt to this kind of low temperature. Moreover, in the surrounding ice and crystals, figures of people appeared.
These people were all prostrating on the ground, as if they were begging for mercy, but also as if they were kneeling in worship. Their faces were filled with piety and fear.
The old listener deliberately probed and confirmed, "They are real people, not figurines. But it is obvious that they have died long ago. And judging from their attire, they should be the ancestors of Tibet."
The ancestors of Tibet here and the local people of Tibet were actually of different ancestors. This was because the collapse of every dynasty and every political situation would often represent the extinction of a nation.
As a historian once said, if one were to look at things in the narrow sense of ethnic theory, the real pure Huaxia people, the real descendants of Yan and Huang, were just a small tribe by the Yellow River. Even during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when China's economy was the most developed, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong, they were still the territory of savages. Even the small Korean Peninsula had seen several "replacement" of the local natives, let alone other places.
"Clang …"
The man surnamed Zhou stepped on something, causing a crisp sound to ring out. He bent down and picked up the item on the ground. It was a bronze sword. After picking up the bronze sword, the man surnamed Zhou's breathing suddenly became much heavier. At that moment, the others were also observing their surroundings. Everyone had their own discoveries, so everyone was minding their own business and did not pay attention to what others were doing.
The man surnamed Zhou walked to Fatso's side with the bronze sword.
"Wanwan, what are you doing?" Fatso asked angrily. In Fatso's eyes, since the man surnamed Zhou was so close to the black man, he must be in cahoots with the Lamas.
"People from powerful countries, look at the lines on it." The man surnamed Zhou used his finger to lightly sketch the lines on the bronze sword. "Doesn't this look like the pattern of the formation lines from the pre-Qin period?"
Fatso's expression suddenly changed. He immediately picked it up and studied it.
Su Bai walked diagonally to the side alone and climbed over the ice sculptures and crystals in front of him. Then, the concave space in front of him appeared to the greatest extent in Su Bai's vision.
"As expected … it's like this."
Su Bai pursed his lips and looked at this scene. His heart was filled with shock. At the same time, the corners of Su Bai's mouth formed a smile.
"Monk, it's a pity that you're still photosynthesizing. You won't be able to see the scene here for yourself. You'll definitely regret it."
