Chapter 68 – Yuan Hao – Northern School Tomb Raider’s Notes

“Yun Feng what’s wrong with you, why does your face look like this.”

Xiao Xuan thought I knew something when she saw me staring at the wooden boards in disbelief.

I ignored Xiao Xuan, instead I stood up and went out to the outside, I walked carefully around the stone house.

I found some foundation structure about twenty meters away from the stone house, stone bricks, and a wall of mixed earth mostly buried under the sand.

I was so young and knew so little that I just had a glimmer of inspiration, but couldn’t figure out the connection yet.

Anyway, it was just a matter of getting Beanpole Boy to take the goat’s head away in a haphazard manner, and also a sudden flash of insight sometime later that it could very well be the case.

That stone goat head did not sell, more than thirty pounds, bean sprout boy began to say not heavy with nothing, then he carried a few days and feel too heavy, to throw away, he threw away because I said the stone goat head is not valuable no one wants, we only took away the wooden board.

Now I don’t think the goat’s head should be thrown away, I can’t find it, I’ll have no problem selling it for 200,000 to 300,000 dollars.

To the Arabic numerals carved on the head of the goat, “03, 5, 26”, my deduction is that it is definitely related to Ning Lingge, the second son of Yuan Hao.

The Tombs of the Western Xia Kings were only discovered in the 1970s.

At that time, a platoon of Lanzhou Military Region soldiers were ordered to build a military airfield under the Helan Mountains, as a result, they inadvertently saw the desert 9 exposed to the ground a huge mound of sealing soil, and then archaeologists rushed to carry out investigations, which was found to determine the present-day Xixia Imperial Tombs area.

Dozens of meters high sealing mounds, nine in a row, so big that no one had ever found them before, so it was not hard to imagine the remoteness of the location.

Archaeologists came too late, the upper head of the board said: “mobilize all the comrades deep into the Helan Mountain, full salvage excavation!”

Subsequently, they found more than 700 robber holes of all sizes, and the earliest of these robber holes in the area of the imperial tombs can be traced back to the late Tang Dynasty and the Fifth Dynasty, and the latest was four or five years ago.

Xixia mausoleum above ground structure like an oval pyramid, dungeon buried 25 meters below ground, the ground connected to the dungeon is a downward diffraction of the 60-degree stone steps, due to the lack of burials can not be accurately determine the nine tombs are who’s mausoleum, so until today are just to give a name, that is, the Yu Mausoleum, Jia Mausoleum, Tailing Mausoleum, An Mausoleum, dedication of the mausoleum, the mausoleum, the life of the mausoleum, the mausoleum of the village, Kang Mausoleum.

Yuan Hao’s mausoleum is presumed to be the most likely Taileung, Yuan Hao as the founding emperor meritorious, mausoleum should be repaired the most magnificent, but the fact is that the Taileung is not the largest and not the most luxurious, it looks like some hasty burial, the only explanation for the situation is that Yuan Hao died a little bit of a hurry.

How did Yuan Hao die?

It’s too wimpy to talk about.

He was a cuckold to his own son, slept with his own daughter-in-law, and later bled to death after his own son found out and cut off his nose with a knife.

And that person is his second son, Ning Lingo.

Yuan Hao had talent, he started a country in the Great Northwest, made words, and fought the Song Dynasty, but there was one bad thing, Yuan Hao was an old colorful man.

He has a crush on his daughter-in-law, who even calls Yuan Hao dad.

Wouldn’t this be exciting just to think about in modern times?

But Yuan Hao does not think so, he thinks in his bones that he is right, my daughter-in-law is your son, but it is also mine, I two who with who ah.

The marriage system of the Dangshi people is clearly stated in black and white in the Book of Two Tangs.

“Wife his concubine mother and uncle mother, sister-in-law, children of women, obscene steam profanity, raising women a little longer, matchmakers will be, the family does not ask, Fan custom of the mother of many, the barbarians of the land of the most serious.”

What does that mean?

Probably means a family in which the man has the highest status (without invoking war), a party family, the elder brother died in the war outside, in organizing a wedding, the elder brother-in-law married to the younger brother, the younger brother died in the war outside, in organizing a wedding, the younger sister-in-law married to the mother’s family brother uncle or something, unlimited sets of babies, no logical and ethical concepts, as long as the different surnames, you can always be married.
