Chapter 348 Seeing Something Good
At the very front of the officials, a terracotta figurine dressed as a woman lies prostrate on the ground. Judging from its condition, it is obvious that this was added later.
Emperor Tianhuang half-squatted in front of the female terracotta figurine, put on white gloves, and then gently brushed the dust off the figurine: "The most popular style of clothing in the Tianyuan Dynasty!"
Then, the wooden box lying horizontally in front of the woman was opened, and a blueprint, whose material was not yet clear, was taken out and unfolded little by little by the Emperor Tianhuang.
"This is the original treasure map!" Although the ink on it was a bit blurry, Mu Zhen recognized it at a glance.
"There are coffins here."
Yun Dan wasn't particularly interested in the terracotta figures. Instead, she went around to the back of the dragon throne, looked at the two coffins, and hurriedly called out to the others.
"Crackling sounds... Hmm? Something good!"
The keyboard clicks suddenly stopped, and Xiao Jukeng looked up from the computer and gazed at the screen next to him that was connected to the outside world.
Beyond the ancient coffin that the host had focused all his attention on, his gaze settled on a pile of weapons arranged in the corner not far away.
To be precise, what I was looking at was a dragon-patterned spear among the weapons.
What is this material? It's neither copper nor iron, neither gold nor silver. Instead of being scanned immediately, it floated directly past Mu Zhen's forehead.
"White marble! Good heavens, this coffin is actually made entirely of white marble!" The old expert carefully examined the coffin and came to the accurate conclusion.
"No way? That's incredibly extravagant!" Mu Zhen exclaimed in admiration.
What's even more surprising are the colorful paintings and carvings on the jade coffin. What kind of pigments could remain so clear after thousands of years?
The coffin was surrounded by auspicious seven-colored clouds, and nine golden dragons soared. The details were so exquisite that every scale on the dragons could be seen at a glance.
Even Mu Zhen, who knew very little about this kind of knowledge, couldn't help but rack his brains to come up with an idiom: This is truly ingenious!
With the technology available in ancient times, how could they have carved such exquisite details?
The dragon's form was almost like a three-dimensional stereoscopic painting.
Niubi!
The sudden appearance of the small giant pit attracted the attention of several men.
Long Yuan was the first to leave the crowd and follow, because he also saw something interesting among the pile of weapons.
Mu Zhen never doubted the Little Giant Pit's ability to identify treasures, so he decisively gave up on the jade coffin he had been eyeing. However, he didn't make a big fuss and quietly moved to a corner while everyone was studying the coffin.
"Little Pit, did you find something?" Strange, these weapons look rusty and broken, and their design is bulky and ugly. Why is Little Pit giving them special attention?
She didn't even show up in that huge treasure trove ahead.
Long Yuan instinctively grabbed the black-gray spear made of pure metal in the very center, frowned, and surprisingly couldn't lift it.
"Let me try!" Mu Zhen seemed to have finally found an opportunity to show off his prowess in front of the other party.
Full of confidence and enthusiasm, he gripped the gun barrel with his right hand, gritted his teeth, and tried his best to lift it up in one go.
[Holy crap! Is this really an ancient weapon? It's so heavy, it must weigh at least several hundred pounds!]
Unconvinced, I tried using my left hand as well, but I still couldn't lift it.
I still believe that even the ancients could use it as a weapon, but I can't even budge it, heh... ha...
Long Yuan crossed his arms and stepped aside to watch her struggle as she went from using one hand to holding the spear tightly.
Ha ha!
He pressed his index finger knuckle against his nose and chuckled to himself.
With such limited abilities, they still dare to dream of defeating him.
"Huff, huff, no, even if Li Yuanba came, he wouldn't be able to do anything about it."
"Let's go. They're just pretty ornaments, not real weapons." Mu Zhen gave up after failing to budge the object even an inch for a long time.
Who could wield such a heavy weapon?
Not to mention using it for combat.
It must weigh at least 300 pounds!
"This is a weapon that has seen blood." The little giant pit was reluctant to leave. After scanning it, he discovered it was indeed a valuable item worth possessing: "Moreover, it even has a trace of imperial dragon energy on it..."
I just looked through the history of this era, and King Zhou west used a spear, called…
"Thunder God of War Spear!" Long Yuan suddenly interjected.
A pair of deep, sharp eyes were fixed on the gun.
Seeing this weapon, he felt a strange sense of joy.
If this were in ancient times, he thought he would have spared no effort to obtain it.
Unfortunately, this is not the era of cold weapons; even the most powerful weapon is not as practical as an ordinary pistol.
"Imperial dragon aura? But King Zhou Xi never became emperor, so where did the dragon aura come from?" Mou Zhen rested his chin on his hand, looking at the little girl with a questioning gaze.
"Hehe!" Little Giant Pit chuckled before speaking, giving Long Yuan a cryptic glance: "Not becoming emperor doesn't mean you don't have the destiny of an emperor."
However, he was unlucky and encountered an opponent with the true destiny of an emperor.
That would inevitably lead to failure; the suppression based on one's destiny is no less severe than the suppression based on bloodline.
I just heard them say that King Zhou west only relented because he saw how well the new emperor governed the country. I think that new emperor must also be someone with the destiny of an emperor.
"Are people with the destiny of an emperor really that good at governing a country?" Mu Zhen felt that the concept of destiny was too vague and even a bit unfounded.
It was simply that King Zhou west was betrayed; otherwise, how could he have failed?
"He's definitely more suited for that position than others. He might not be good at other things."
But as rulers, their sense of responsibility was unparalleled.
Upon hearing this, Long Yuan instinctively retorted, "But Emperor Qi was not a benevolent ruler in the history books. He was treacherous, forgot his roots after reaping the benefits, executed good ministers, and believed slanderous words!"
Xiao Jukeng shook his finger: "When he came to power, many places suffered from consecutive years of drought, while some areas were plagued by floods and insect infestations."
While enemy raiders took advantage of the situation to cause trouble on the border, resulting in the loss of several cities within a year, he only took three years to dredge rivers and build dams, establishing trade relations with foreign countries.
The so-called "believing slander" was actually a ruthless suppression of aristocratic families, allowing commoners to also have the opportunity to enter the imperial court and become officials.
If King Zhou Xi were to ascend the throne, he would not oppose the aristocratic clans, because he had previously expressed his opposition to commoners entering the court.
Why do you think he has been able to stand at the highest position in the struggle for the throne?
Because all the aristocratic families supported him.
Given the situation at the time, as long as the powerful clans remained in power, the common people would only suffer more and more.
That would lead to widespread chaos and popular uprisings!
Xiao Jukeng stirred the long braid on her chest and looked at Long Yuan with a deep meaning in her eyes.
Long Yuan was still unwilling to submit to Emperor Tianhuang, wasn't he? Otherwise, he wouldn't have reacted that way just now.
Who is more suitable to be emperor? The seven thousand years of history of the Eastern Kingdom is enough for him to slowly consider.
No one is perfect. Compared to that Emperor Qi, Emperor Tianhuang has actually done quite well. He only has a few minor flaws, such as his tendency to try to control the fate of others.
Including these brothers who went through thick and thin together.
But humans aren't plants or trees; how can they be without feelings? While Emperor Tianhuang controlled them, he also showed genuine affection for them.
