Chapter 127 Sima Qian's Loophole
Even if it is a dungeon, the structure of the city wall is still the same as that of Xianyang City, the city head is wide enough to run horses, and there is no shortage of all kinds of equipment, even if it is rolling wood and stones, fishing nets, gold juice, ash bottles, bed crossbows, there is no shortage of everything.
It's just that the soldiers guarding these cities are all terracotta figurines.
Each terracotta figurine was life-size, at least, taller than Yun Lang, but the smile on his face became mysterious and eerie.
Yun Lang held the torch in one hand, and kept shaking it with one hand in the other, and there were words in his mouth: "Brother don't blame, the younger brother is bothered, let go of the jack gate and leave the ......."
The head of a terracotta figurine suddenly fell, but it was not broken, but it was turning around under Yun Lang's feet, and the smiling face was constantly changing by the light of the torch, and it almost burst out laughing.
Yun Lang's hair stood on end for a long time, and Dazai anxiously shouted outside, "Are you okay?" If not, just talk to me, or make a noise and let me know you're okay. β
"I'm fineβ" Yun Lang mustered up the courage to shout.
Speaking of which, his memory of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor comes from the "Historical Records", and in the past, Yun Lang was unswerving in the records on the "Historical Records".
Since coming to Lishan, he has had a lot of questions about the records in the "Historical Records".
The original record of the "Historical Records" about the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang: "From the straight road to Xianyang, mourn."
The crown prince Hu Hai ascended the throne as the second emperor. In September, the first emperor was buried.
The first emperor ascended the throne at the beginning, wore the Lishan Mountain, and the world, the world sent more than 700,000 people, wore three springs, and the copper was buried in the coffin, and the palace was full of strange artifacts and strange weapons.
Let the craftsman make a crossbow arrow, and shoot those who are close.
With mercury as the rivers and seas, the machine is instilled, with astronomy and geography.
With mermaid paste as a candle, the one who will not be extinguished will last for a long time. The second said: "If the first emperor and the harem do not have children, it is not appropriate to go out." β
All were ordered to die, and the dead were many. The burial has been down, or the craftsman is the machine, Zang knows it, and Zang is heavy.
After the big event is over, it has been Zang, closed in the envy, under the outside envy door, closed craftsmen Zang, no comeback. Trees, grass, and trees are like mountains. β
The explanation of this paragraph is very problematic and has many questions.
Sima Qian is now just a twenty-four-year-old young man, the son of the historian Sima Tan, who is now assisting his father in sorting out historical materials.
Yun Lang had already asked Huo Quzhi and Cao Xiang about this, and both of them only said that Sima Qian was good at studying, and he had no reputation other than that.
Yun Lang wanted to know, I wanted to know how Sima Qian knew about the situation inside the Imperial Tomb?
Did he ever enter the Imperial Tomb?
This is completely impossible, the Dazai clan has been guarding this place for almost a hundred years, and they have not found that Sima has moved in.
In that case, how did he know about the situation inside the Mausoleum of the First Emperor?
If he could know where the Mausoleum of the First Emperor was, with the abilities of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, it would be impossible to let go of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor full of goods.
If Sima Qian is described according to historical records, Yun Lang wants to ask which historical book he is based on?
What history book could have recorded such a sensitive matter?
On what basis did he write the history of Great Qin? Is it all hearsay?
"Historical Records: Xiang Yu's Benji" records that "Xiang Yu led his troops to the west to slaughter Xianyang and killed the prince of Qin; Burn the Qin palace room, and the fire will not be extinguished for three months; Collect its goods treasure women, and east. β
Could it be that the fire has been burning for three months, and what can be left for you?
Yun Lang really wanted to ask what kind of fire could burn for three months without extinguishing it?
It is recorded that the burning of Xianyang was in autumn, so it didn't rain a little for three months?
Let it burn for three months?
Unless Xiang Yu will set a fire every few days!
Xiang Yu's hatred for the First Emperor is very deep, and it is not too much to take revenge on the revenge of destroying the country, it stands to reason that Xiang Yu will definitely dig up the Imperial Mausoleum, but I have not seen Sima Qian record whether Xiang Yu has dug the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, but his description of the interior of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor is so detailed, Yun Lang is very surprised.
He recorded it in great detail, but forgot to record such a grand scene as the Terracotta Army, what is the reason?
Yun Lang's brain kept spinning, and his vision of seeing things tended to be rational, and the terrifying scenes in front of him couldn't bother him much.
Walking behind those figurines, sometimes you will accidentally touch the weapons worn by the figurines, some of the swords have rotted straps, and the weapons will fall down with a bang if they collide slightly, in short, when Yun Lang has passed through the army of figurines, the sound will be endless.
Some of Sima Qian's records also seem to be problematic, many things cannot stand up to scrutiny, and the "Historical Records" he wrote in the way of writing stories is called a rhymeless separation, although it is very beautiful, in the end there are still some more elements of deduction, less rigorous in academic research.
After Yun Lang passed through the group of soldiers, there was nothing in front of him, only some stones the size of a human head were scattered on the battlements, and there were some decaying timbers piled up on the walls, and if Yun Lang cut the ropes on them with a knife, these rolling logs and stones would pour down from the city.
Yun Lang walked more carefully, he was afraid that if he accidentally touched these fortifications that were about to fall apart, he would kill Dazai, who was guarding under the city walls.
"You stay away, the city is very dangerous, there are rolling logs and stones on it, and the shelves are rotten, and they will fall down if you touch them a little."
Yun Lang shouted loudly to Dazai under the castle.
"Okay, I'm leaving, be careful yourself, don't fall off!"
Yun Lang's feet slipped and fell on a big heel, and the torch was also taken off, and the palms of his two hands rubbed against the stone slab with a hot pain.
He hurriedly got up, picked up the torch, looked at the winch not far away and continued to think: The miracle of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, who killed the white snake, is obviously not in line with the facts, at most, Liu Bang killed a snake, why did Sima Qian add all kinds of miracles to Liu Bang's body?
It is clear that Sima Qian relied on legends and oral accounts to record these events......
"He who hears believes, but he who hears is especially not believable, and he who believes is still unbelievable; The heart of the person who is relied on is also, and the heart is still not enough. β
Yun Lang babbled and recited what Confucius said to Yan Hui, and irritably pushed down a figurine that fell on the winch......
As soon as the figurines were overturned, the winch creaked and squeaked, the log supporting the winch suddenly shattered, the huge winch fell outward, a dark red wooden wedge was suddenly disconnected, and the iron chain wrapped around the winch, which was obviously rusted together, suddenly slid up, and flew with a huge winch.
The city wall shook faintly, and it didn't take much effort to hear a loud bang, and the dust under the city was flying, and Dazai coughed and said, "Okay, you come down slowly, and the jack gate is lowered." β
Yun Lang lay on the ground, his ears were full of the loud sound of the winch flying in the air, only to hear the sound of the winch falling to the ground, and saw the rolling wood and stones piled up on the head of the city like a rain of inclined from the head of the city. The figurines that had been lined up in a line also fell one after another, slammed against the hard stones, and fell to pieces.
Yun Lang carefully poked his head out of the battlement with a torch, only to see Dazai standing not far from the city wall, trying to raise the torch, hoping to see Yun Lang.
Yun Lang climbed down from the bamboo ladder and sat at the gate of the city with Dazai in a daze, the two of them just wanted to put down the jack gate, and they didn't want to destroy the fortifications of Xianyang City.
Dazai stood up and sighed, "Let's go, I've been here long enough today." β
He didn't blame Yun Lang, and thought that this was God's arrangement.
The two of them had one more job, which was to clean the rolling wood and stones at the city gate and the broken golden man......
When he saw the tiger again, the tiger was reluctant to come to Yun Lang's side, although it wanted to make love to Yun Lang, but the strange sour smell emanating from Yun Lang's body made its sensitive nose very uncomfortable.
Dazai saw that Yunlang himself was snorting, so he smiled and said, "Soaking clothes in vinegar can prevent corpse poison?" Where did you learn that? β
Yun Lang said with a smile: "I created it myself, I felt that vinegar was a good thing, so I was impulsive, and I poured it on my body, it seems that I don't like to attract tigers, so I will try it with spirits next time." β
Dazai waved his hand to Yunlang tiredly, and without saying a word, he went down the mountain alone. He knew that Yun Lang must be going to take a bath.
