"Of course, this mural also has certain research value."
At this time, Professor Wen said with a smile: "Not only the painting style of the Tang Dynasty, but also the weapons and equipment of the Tang Dynasty army, formations, etc., as well as the appearance of the clothes, can be reflected in this painting."
"Hey, what can I do?"
Yu Feibai was not very interested and said lazily: "Everyone has gone through a lot of trouble, only to find an empty underground palace and find another mural. Are you willing to do it?"
"What can you do if you don't give in?" Professor Wen said with a wry smile: "Archaeology is like this. You often have surprises inadvertently, and at the same time, you are hit hard when you are expecting it. We have long been used to it."
Although he talks about habits, there is no disappointment in Professor Wen's eyes. When the gains outweigh the losses, there must be a psychological gap, and it is normal to be unhappy.
"Professor Wen, the things are here."
Just when everyone was sighing, someone walked in from outside, holding some scattered objects in their hands.
"What?"
Yu Feibai was a little curious: "What are you planning to do?"
"Of course it's to maintain the mural."
Professor Wen explained: "After all, the murals are sealed in a secret room. Now that the underground palace is opened, air will flow in immediately, causing changes in the indoor environment. If some maintenance is not done in time, the murals will definitely fall into pieces.
"
Everyone suddenly understood and quickly got out of the way and watched Professor Wen mix some liquid and then carefully spray it on the mural. Soon after, the pictures on the wall became much clearer.
"Eh!"
At this moment, Wang Guan glanced around and discovered something.
"I was so surprised, what happened?" Yu Feibai asked puzzledly: "What problem did you find?"
"It's not that I found a problem, but I seem to know what this scene is about." Wang Guan muttered: "The mural was a bit blurry just now, and it was not very clear. Now look at the city, is there a high platform, and
Thick smoke was coming out..."
"Yes, that's right."
Yu Feibai looked at it carefully, then nodded and said: "It depicts a war, with smoke and gunfire everywhere. It's a normal situation. I don't think there's anything wrong."
"The city hasn't been destroyed yet, where can the smoke come from? Even if it's a beacon fire, there is a special beacon tower. It shouldn't be lit on a high platform in the city." Wang Guan gestured: "The high platform is located in the center of the city and should be the most important.
The mansion is now on fire. It should have been set on fire by one of our own people. Setting fire to oneself reminds me of an allusion..."
"What allusion?" Yu Feibai blinked and said, "The allusion of Emperor Jianwen burning his palace and escaping?"
"Why are you pretending to be stupid?"
Wang Guan said angrily: "This is the underground palace of the Tang Dynasty. What does it have to do with the Ming Dynasty? What I'm saying is..."
"King Wu defeated Zhou!"
For a moment, everyone began to think deeply. They felt that Wang Guan's speculation was somewhat reliable. After all, Professor Wen also said that the scene in the painting may not be a real war, so it is not impossible to paint a picture of King Wu defeating Zhou.
The most important thing is that thanks to the popularity of Fengshenyan among the people, everyone is already familiar with the story of King Wu's defeat of Zhou. The people ate pots of wine to welcome the king's master, and some people burned themselves in the palace. It was not King Wu's defeat of Zhou.
What is it again?
"However, the people in the painting are Tang Dynasty figures." Tang Qinghua questioned.
"Nonsense, people in the Tang Dynasty didn't know what it was like during the period when King Wu conquered Zhou, so they had to follow their own social customs." Yu Feibai said casually: "The paintings of that period reflect the social characteristics of that period. This is to identify ancient paintings.
Basic common sense. The Tang Dynasty did not have as detailed a understanding of the events of the Shang and Zhou dynasties as modern times and was able to restore the situation thousands of years ago."
"Fei Bai is right."
Hou Lao agreed: "This is a distinct characteristic of the times and is very common in ancient paintings. But why do you want to paint the picture of King Wu conquering Zhou? This is something that needs to be studied."
"As long as people are happy, they are free to paint whatever they want..."
Yu Feibai also knew that this reason was untenable, and then he thought about it seriously: "King Wu defeated Zhou, Mr. Qian seemed to have said, King Wu was not that just, King Zhou was not that cruel, but ordinary people were misled by the Romance of the Gods.
Already."
"Lingxi was right."
At this time, Mr. Hou nodded and said: "According to the existing information, King Zhou is still relatively wise and powerful. The ministers of the artillery, the wine pool and the meat forest, including the so-called vixen Daji, are all things that are based on suspicion and deliberately smear him.
"
"Normally, history is written by the victors."
Yu Feibai smiled and said: "If you don't criticize him, how can you demonstrate the legitimacy of your regime? Not everyone is as lucky as Xiang Yu. Even if he commits suicide after defeat, he still retains the title of hero. On the contrary, it is Liu Bang who is the victor, and everyone calls him a scoundrel.
.Perhaps this has something to do with Liu Bang's massacre of heroes, so naturally no one said anything good for him."
"Very possible."
Professor Wen smiled and said: "You don't know how powerful the pens of literati are. Even the good people who are famous all over the world have turned into heinous villains under their pens. It is the same regardless of ancient and modern times.
.”
"As for King Zhou, it is indeed unfair to say that his crimes were heinous. However, this man is very similar to Emperor Yang of Sui, and he has the kind of temperament that loves great achievements."
Professor Wen said eloquently: "My abilities are not bad, but I also want to make some achievements. I have used force to conquer foreign countries and launched many big projects at home. For a while, there must have been public dissatisfaction, internal and external difficulties, and finally I was seized.
The world. Let’s say they were wronged, it seems a little bit, but it’s a pity for them, but it’s not even that…”
"Anyway, you asked for it." Yu Feibai pointedly said: "In fact, as long as they don't mess around, the country will never be ruined in their hands."
"That's what it means."
Mr. Hou smiled and thought again: "It's just for no reason. It's impossible to paint this painting. To compare An Lushan and Shi Siming to King Zhou is a bit flattering to them. If it was the early Tang Dynasty, it would be a bit wrong.
The number above. Could it be referring to Zhu Wen who usurped the Tang Dynasty? But the style of painting does not look like that of the late Tang Dynasty..."
"If it's not the style of late Tang Dynasty, then what period is it?" Yu Feibai said casually.
"High Tang style."
Wang Guan explained: "This kind of plump body and graceful and luxurious appearance is the standard painting style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Only when the society is wealthy to a certain level can the characters gain weight. Otherwise, they will only feel skinny and thin.
It seems to be the Qing Dynasty. No matter how much it is whitewashed as peaceful, the characters in the paintings all look malnourished, which shows that it is just an illusion."
"The prosperous Tang Dynasty?"
Yu Feibai scratched his head and said: "In my impression, apart from An Lushan and Shi Siming, there were no other people who rebelled in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Besides, the two rebels should have no shame in claiming to be on the side of Zhengwen.
, go and attack 'Tang Zhou'."
"That's why I find it strange." Wang Guan frowned and thought: "King Wu defeated Zhou, defeated Zhou, defeated...zhou?"
At the end, Wang Guan's voice changed, and his face also changed, and his expression became very strange: "I seem to understand, but I'm afraid it's a coincidence."
"What do you understand?" Yu Feibai was startled and asked quickly.
"The underground palace is very wide. At the beginning, we guessed that it was not a mausoleum, but a place where gold and silver treasures were buried. However, after entering, we found that there were no gold and silver treasures, so we changed our minds and thought that it was a place where gold and silver treasures were buried.
It’s an abandoned mausoleum.” Wang Guan shook his head and said: “But in this case, the tight institutional door cannot be justified...”
Under Wang Guan's reminder, others all reacted and felt that he was right. No matter what the guess was, the underground palace's agency door was a threshold that could not be bypassed.
At the same time, Yu Feibai began to urge anxiously: "If you have discovered anything, just explain it directly. Don't go around in circles."
"Actually, I feel that this underground palace is not a mausoleum, nor a secret room where gold and silver treasures are buried, but a..." Wang Guan hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "It is a place where people gather in secret."
"Secret party?"
For a moment, everyone was stunned and confused.
"Why do you say that?"
Yu Feibai was puzzled: "In ancient times, there were secret gatherings and they simply wanted to cover up people's eyes. Are they planning to rebel?"
"You're right, maybe they are really talking about rebellion." Wang Guan chuckled and said: "Of course, people may think that their actions are very just and a feat of bringing order out of chaos. And from a modern perspective, it seems to be justified...
…”
"What I hate the most is that others are trying to show off. If you know anything, just say it quickly." Yu Feibai glared and said, "Don't you know that it is very immoral to titillate people's appetites?"
"I said, this is just a guess." Wang Guan smiled, and under the attention of everyone, he explained: "Don't you think that defeating Zhou can also be understood as defeating... Zhou!"
Zhou is the fourth tone, while Zhou is the first tone. It is obvious that the two characters belong to different tones. Everyone paid close attention and naturally distinguished them easily.
"Fight...Zhou!"
When they first heard the word "zhou", everyone didn't react yet, but Yu Feibai was a young man with a flexible brain. He was startled and immediately figured it out. He sighed and said: "Wu Zhou, it's not King Wu who conquered Zhou, it should be the crusade against Wu Zhou."
Zhou is right."
"ah!"
After hearing this, others suddenly realized.
"Yes, it should be Wu Zhou."
Mr. Hou's thoughts suddenly changed, and he immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly: "You young people think faster and think more thoroughly. If it is the defeat of Zhou, then everything will be explained."
"It makes sense to use the defeat of Zhou to imply the defeat of Zhou..." Professor Wen thought for a while and agreed: "In that era, there was also a hint of terror politics, and secret gatherings were indeed needed."
At this time, the more Professor Wen thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, and couldn't help but praise: "Wang Guan, you are so right. This place is very close to Luoyang, and it is in the underground palace, so it will not attract anyone's attention. You can hide here.
