Qiu Nuo stayed in Jingwan and wanted to reunite with her mother. Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. After talking to Jingwan, Chu Tianci finally had some clues. The next morning, he took Yue Qianling and Gu Anqi back to Qianling early in the next morning.

.

When he came before, Chu Tianci kept his attention on the Fengshui of Qianling, but he didn't pay attention to other details. Jingwan said something amazing, and the secret of entering Qianling was actually on the wordless monument.

Wu Zetian's wordless stele is located on the east side of Sima Road in Qianling, next to Tuque in the north, and Weng Zhong in the south, and opposite to Shusheng Monument in the west. It is strange and magnificent, majestic and spectacular.

The wordless stele is carved from a complete huge stone, giving people a solemn and thick, integrated beauty. The wordless stele has no name on the stele, only the head of the stele is carved with eight dragons, which are cleverly entangled together, and the scales are

The armor is clearly distinguished, the muscles and bones are exposed, and they are moving in a quiet place, and they are full of vitality.

There are pictures of dragons on both sides of the monument, each with a giant dragon flying in the sky, made of lines, the dragon soars like a flying dragon, lifelike.

There is also a picture of a lion and horse carved on the sun of the stele. The horse bent its hooves and bowed its head, which is gentle and cute; the lion holds its head up and is very majestic. There are many flower and grass patterns on the stele, with fine and smooth lines.

Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, all emperors and generals have hoped that they could erect monuments and erect biography after their deaths, but the only female emperor in history has not engraved a single word.

This stone tablet that has been towering for thousands of years is not as dazzling as the extraordinary imperial tomb behind it. It stands quietly next to it and witnesses the changes and glitz of the past thousand years, and seems to be waiting for something quietly.

Chu Tianci looked up at the wordless monument. He had been in this position for a long time.

"If Aunt Jing told the secret of entering Qianling Mausoleum on the wordless stele, that is, there should be mechanisms on the stele, at least there should be some hint, why did you look at it for so long and find nothing?" Gu Anqi surrounded her.

After walking around the stone tablet, he said disappointedly.

"Can it be Aunt Jing said casually? You wouldn't have understood the wrong meaning?" Yue Qianling said.

Chu Tianci shook his head and answered with certainty.

"Aunt Jing is not like a person who speaks nonsense. She said that the secret of Qianling Mausoleum is related to the wordless stele, and there must be a mystery on this wordless stele."

"Since she knows, why don't she tell you directly? She still insists on finding her own." Yue Qianling complained in a low voice.

"Aunt Jing doesn't say that it must have her deep meaning. At least we already know the clues to entering Qianling Mausoleum. It would be more fun to find the specific method yourself." Chu Tianci smiled and said.

"Brother Tianci, is this stone tablet related to Feng Shui?" Gu Anqi asked.

"It shouldn't be. Since the last time I came to Qianling to see Feng Shui, Wu Zetian chose the location of Qianling not to focus on Feng Shui, but to prevent theft, so this stone tablet should have nothing to do with Feng Shui."

"This woman has taken great pains. Emperors of all dynasties have thought about the glory of future generations, but she only wants no one to rob the tomb to disturb her. Haha, this is not like the demeanor of a generation of empresses at all." Yue Qianling said.

"Think about it from another perspective, isn't this exactly what Wu Zetian is so outstanding?" Chu Tianci said meaningfully. "Everyone wants it for generations, but this is impossible. Wu Zetian is not greedy for future generations, which means she has seen through it for a long time.

All of this, in today's terms, is called pragmatism. In fact, her practice ensures that Qianling has not been stolen so far. From this point of view, Wu Zetian is correct."

"What was she putting in this Qianling Mausoleum? She was so afraid that someone would go in." Gu Anqi pouted and muttered.

"An Qi, what are you kidding? This Qianling Mausoleum is known as a national treasure. There are countless rare treasures in it. I am afraid that among the emperors of all dynasties, the only one that can compete with Qianling Mausoleum is the arrogant Qin Shihuang Mausoleum." Yue Qianling was very

Seriously said. "After that being said, I am Wu Zetian now. I have so many good things to be buried with after my death, and I don't want anyone to come in and steal it."

"Don't go too far, let's solve the problem of this wordless stele first. As for what is in Qianling, we will go in and see it slowly at that time." Chu Tianci's attention returned to the wordless stele.

"There is no word on it, and Aunt Jing didn't give any tips. We look for it like a headless fly." Yue Qianling complained.

Chu Tianci saw that there were no tourists around and quickly flipped into the fence of the wordless stele. If there were mechanisms in the wordless stele, there should be a hollow place under the base.

Chu Tianci knocked the entire base one after another but found nothing. Judging from the degree of closing below, the wordless stele is quite complete. If according to Jingwan's statement, the secret of entering Qianling Mausoleum is on the wordless stele, Chu Tianci is the first

What I thought of is that since Qianling Mausoleum has no entrance, will the stele without words be the entrance to Qianling Mausoleum?

But now it seems that this idea is wrong.

In the tomb mechanism, the settings of secret passages are incompatible with the wordless stele, and the wordless stele is too far from Qianling, so there seems to be no connection between the two.

"When was the wordless stele built?" Chu Tianci took it out and asked suddenly.

"According to relevant historical records, after the death of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, the site selection, design and construction of Qianling Mausoleum were carried out under the direct guidance of Wu Zetian. The wordless stele is also likely to have been erected at that time, from the wordless stele and the Sacred Chronicle.

The monuments are in correspondence with each other, and the two monuments were erected at the same time." Yue Qianling said.

"The wordless stele and the holy stele..." Chu Tianci turned his head to look at another stone tablet next to him.

The stele of Sacrifice on the west side of Qianling Mausoleum is a stele erected by Wu Zetian for Emperor Gaozong's praises. She also personally wrote an inscription of more than 5,000 characters, with black lacquer stele, filled with gold powder, and shining brightly with the stele without words next to her.

Comparison.

"These two stone tablets were erected by Wu Zetian. Why is the difference so big? Is there any connection between these two stone tablets?" Chu Tianci murmured to himself.

"It's strange to say that Wu Zetian can praise Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi, but she doesn't mention her words. What was she thinking?" Gu Anqi also said curiously.

Chu Tianci suddenly recalled what Jingwan talked to him. Jingwan repeatedly emphasized that she wanted to enter Qianling, and first understand who was buried in Qianling. After talking to her, it seemed that Jingwan had interpreted a complete record in historical books.

A different queen Wu Zetian

Jingwan asked herself to come to Qianling to understand the wordless stele. Chu Tianci suddenly realized that she might have understood Jingwan's meaning wrong, so she could do it without any mechanism at all. Jingwan asked herself to come to make herself understand wordless

The meaning of the stele, or why Wu Zetian erected this strange stone tablet.

Chu Tianci lowered his head and thought for a while, and sat on the bench aside and said thoughtfully.

"Qianling, you are engaged in archaeology. Does this stele without words have any origin and allusions?"

"No, this wordless stele has always been a difficult problem that the archaeological world wants to solve. Many predecessors have been studying this stele throughout their lives, but they have their own opinions." Yue Qianling sat next to Chu Tianci with a faint smile and said.

As for the real reason, I’m afraid I can only go to Qianling to ask the queen.”

Gu Anqi bought a few bottles of water and said with all his eyes when he heard the topic of discussion.

"My father also mentioned the wordless stele to me. I remember he said that many scholars speculate on the intention of Wu Zetian leaving the wordless stele, but he thinks that Wu Zetian has been counted as the emperor of the ages, and looking at history, it can be

The only one who compares with her is probably Qin Shihuang. The stele without words may be left because she doesn’t even know how to describe her achievements.”

"This idea is actually very common. Even several archaeological masters I know have concluded the wordless stele in this way." Yue Qianling nodded and said. "In fact, this statement is also very consistent with Wu Zetian's personality. She has been following the fact that she has done so.

Become a queen in 655 AD, and was forced to abdicate in 705 AD. She participated in and held the highest power for fifty years. If we counted from the death of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, there were twenty-one years. She was the only one in history and outstanding

The Queen.”

"Yes, my father said the same thing. She cracked down on wealthy families in politics and developed the imperial examination system, which allowed a large number of talents to enter the political stage, suppressing the monopoly of wealthy families. She rewarded agriculture and sericulture, developed water conservancy, reduced corvee labor and rectified the equal-land system.

, which has led to the continuous increase in the social economy and the number of households. She knows people and responsibilities, employs people in an extraordinary manner, encourages officials at all levels to recommend talents, and accepts advice humbly. This is why she is the job." Gu Anqi nodded and said.

Yue Qianling took a sip of water and said clearly.

"In addition, Wu Zetian also strengthened the border defense of feudal countries and improved relations with all ethnic groups on the border. In short, Wu Zetian was a person with political talents and ideals. During her reign, she did many things that were in line with the interests of the people, and stabilized and developed Zhenguan.

The governance of history has taken a big step forward and played a role in inheriting the past and opening up the future for the later "Kaiyuan Governance".

"So, Wu Zetian erected a stele without words to boast about himself, indicating that his merits and virtues cannot be expressed in words?" Chu Tianci thought about it and shook his head slowly. Such Wu Zetian and the Wu Zetian interpreted by Jingwan seemed to be completely different.

personal.

Chu Tianci suddenly pointed at Qianling and said meaningfully.

"Wu Zetian is scheming, cruel and ruthless, and also involved in literature and history. From a talented person to a queen, it is not just because of her good luck. From the fact that she is the queen, you can see how capable this woman is to plot people's hearts."

"At that time, the court was headed by Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang, with strong power, and Emperor Gaozong of Tang was greatly restricted. Many ministers headed by Changsun Wuji in the outer court opposed Emperor Gaozong of Tang's abolishing the king and establishing Wu. Wu Zetian's path forward was also full of hardships.

"Yue Qianling seemed to agree with Chu Tianci's analysis. "Wu Zetian took advantage of the opportunity of Emperor Gaozong of Tang to take advantage of the abolition of the king and establish Wu to revitalize the imperial power and attack the power of the elders. He not only gave advice for Emperor Gaozong, but also adopted the strategy of being easy first and then difficult, and successively dismissed him.

Chu Suiliang, Han Yuan, Lai Ji, and finally got rid of Changsun Wuji. At this point, Emperor Gaozong basically realized the centralization of the monarch, and naturally became the queen."

"Since she is such a scheming queen, how could she leave a monument without words to show her great merits? And judging from the fact that she chose Qianling, Wu Zetian is not a woman who is in power, so this statement

I don't think it fits the character of Wu Zetian." Chu Tianci shook his head and said.
