Two hundred and eighty-one chapters an emperor's teeth

The Haihunhou recorded in the history books is not only unsatisfactory in appearance.

In the "Book of Han" Volume 68 "Huo Guang Biography", it is also said that he "advocated singing and dancing", "played with pigs and tigers", "didn't drink wine", "Ao opera", "fornication", etc.

"Hanshu" Volume 26 "Tian Wen Zhi" states that the reason for his dethronement was "fornication".

All in all, the Marquis of Haihun in the history books was an ugly-looking, wretched, absurd, and erratic man.

However, after in-depth excavation of the tomb of Haihunhou, the Haihunhou Liu He appeared in the eyes of archaeologists, but it was a different image.

He may indeed live a luxurious life, possessing many valuable treasures, and his daily life is also very luxurious.

But at the same time, he is also a scholar who loves reading and can patiently study culture and learn knowledge.

Moreover, he is still a somewhat "depressed" person who wants to realize his ambitions, but has never had the opportunity to serve the country.

From the tomb of Marquis Haihun, we can see that Liu He was not that "absurd and unethical", at least he was not a person with no merits, who only drank and had fun, and was promiscuous and debauched.

It's just that as a loser in the political struggle, he is destined to be recorded in the history books. His advantages will only be covered up, his shortcomings will be magnified, and he will become a heinous bastard.

I wouldn't say it's sad, but it's still quite deplorable.

What is regrettable is that in Chinese society before BC, political struggles were already so cruel.

The political struggles between ancient people were no less cruel than those of modern people.

Even losers will be listed in the history books and will be despised by future generations.

All I can say is, cherish life and stay away from politics.

...

Extracting the cladding is still done using the old method.

Insert the bamboo piece, gently pry it up, stuff it into the pallet, and then lift it up as a whole.

The covering itself does not have many bright spots, it is actually just a thick piece of patent leather.

But after the cover was removed, a lot of jade was revealed.

Draw pictures, take photos and archive them.

Archaeologists with cameras immediately entered the site and took macro shots of the situation under the covering.

This is a necessary link in the archaeological process.

Chen Han and the others were not in a hurry, so they stood quietly by the side, waiting for the filming to be completed.

"Why are there so many jade stones under the covering?"

"When Liu He was buried, did he put jade biscuits on his face, then put the covering on his face, and then placed jade biscuits on the covering?"

"Such a jade burial is too luxurious."

"And are you really not afraid of having so much jade on your face that it will collapse under the pressure?"

While waiting, Chen Han, Zhuang Yunpeng and others were all chatting in whispers.

There is no way, this Liu He is simply too extravagant.

Simply covering the surface with jade is actually in line with the system of high-ranking aristocrats in the Western Han Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, he actually placed a bunch of jade pieces under the mask.

This approach is actually a bit like gold thread jade clothing.

When the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty were buried wearing gold jade clothes, their bodies were covered with a layer of gold jade clothes, and then the gold jade clothes were covered with a mantle, and then the mantle was covered with jade.

This is equivalent to covering yourself with two layers of jade.

What Liu He did at this time was actually to use jade bis instead of gold-studded jade clothes, and he also used two layers of jade to cover himself.

Chen Han's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look, and he murmured: "I guess Liu He has a jade mat made of jade pieces underneath him."

"Although this does not count as a gold-lined jade garment, he can still be regarded as being buried wrapped in jade."

Seeing Liu He stuffing a jade jade under his mask, Chen Han immediately came to an inference.

Liu He must be very obsessed with gold and jade clothes.

But because Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty did not give it to him, he could not make jade clothes with gold threads privately.

Then we can only take this curved approach to save the country, using a jade mat on the bottom and jade bis on the top, which can be used as half a jade garment with golden threads.

As soon as Chen Han's speculation came out, many archaeologists immediately echoed it.

They also believed that Chen Han's guess was probably correct.

The tomb of Haihunhou has been excavated for so long, and everyone has actually sketched out a general image of Liu He sleeping in the tomb.

This was a prince who had resentment against Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, so he often made some outrageous and sidelined things.

With Liu He's character, as long as there is no stipulation in Han law that non-emperors cannot use jade mats to pave the floor, then Liu He will definitely do this!

But don’t forget, there was a layer of colored glass attached to the coffin lid!

This shows that the top layer of Liu He's inner coffin was covered with a layer of glazed mat!

Then spreading a layer of jade mat underneath doesn’t seem to be a big deal!

"I also think it's very possible."

"Researcher Chen is right. Judging from Liu He's temperament, this is what he can do!"

Just as everyone was echoing, an exclamation suddenly came from the mouth of the archaeologists who were taking pictures.

"Damn it, two rows of teeth!"

After seeing the photos taken through his lens clearly, this archaeological photography expert opened his eyes wide and exclaimed repeatedly.

Everyone immediately came forward and looked at the Nikon camera in his hand.

I saw two rows of clear teeth appearing on the LCD screen of the camera.

This is a photo taken with a macro lens. It is not only very clear, but also a magnified image.

Obviously, these two rows of teeth are the teeth of the tomb owner Liu He.

These two rows of teeth were in the middle of a piece of jade. It seemed that the piece of jade just covered Liu He's face.

"It's very neat, with a mouth full of teeth. This should be the only existing set of imperial teeth, right?"

It is indeed impossible to say that the corpse of an emperor has not been excavated before in the history of archeology.

After all, the Dingling Tomb of the Ming Dynasty was excavated that year, and the bones of the Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun and his two queens Xiaoduan and Xiaojing were unearthed.

When the three bones were first discovered, all three bones had decayed to varying degrees, but the skeletons were still well preserved.

And archaeologists found that the hair of these three corpses was still intact and shiny.

There are many precious cultural relics and fabrics with written texts surrounding the bones.

At that time, Emperor Wanli's teeth were still well preserved.

After all, teeth are the easiest bones to preserve among the bones of the body.

However, due to some reasons later, the bodies of Emperor Wanli and his two queens were burned together, and not even the ashes were left.

At this point, in the Chinese archaeological world, there are no longer any existing emperor's bones, let alone the emperor's teeth.

Now that Liu He's teeth have appeared, they are actually the only existing imperial teeth.

Although, this emperor only served as emperor for 27 days.

But he is still considered an emperor after all!

Kong Jianwen took the bamboo stick and leaned down to clean the imperial tooth.
