After waking up from the dream, Zhan Liyang was still lying on the hospital bed, while Ye Tianchen and others had already woken up, and had just woken up from the dream, and were a little uncomfortable. After resting for several minutes, Ye Tianchen got up from the bed, and his wives got up from the bed.

Now let’s get the information. Ye Tianchen said, according to the dream, there must be information in the temple brought by Zhan Liyang there.

You and Lele Nana go, we are waiting here. Jiang Shuxian said, see if Zhan Liyang is awakening.

Ye Tianchen nodded, took Xu Yuele and Zhao Lianna away from the scene, and drove straight to the temple that Zhan Liyang said in his dream

In the car, the three of them also analyzed the information they saw in their dreams before. Xu Yuele said: Judging from the information, they mainly traded foreign countries with military and ancient cultural relics. I paid special attention to the back in the dream. South Korea and Japan wanted the twelve bronze men and the King of Qin's bone mirror. What are these two things?

After Xu Yuele finished speaking, Zhao Lianna also had a hint of doubt. It seemed that both of them didn't know what the twelve bronze men and the King of Qin bone mirror were. Ye Tianchen said while driving:The legend of the Twelve Bronze Men is like this. In 221 BC, the Qin general Wang led his troops to attack Qi south. King Jian of Qi was incompetent and obeyed the slander ministers without any preparation for resistance. The slander minister Housheng had long accepted the bribes of Qin. Therefore, as soon as the Qin army arrived, Qi collapsed and King Jian of Qi was captured and Qi was destroyed. In this way, Chinese history ended a long-term division and separatist situation, and a unified autocratic centralized Qin Dynasty appeared. The history of the Warring States Period ended here, and Chinese history turned a new page. After Qin destroyed the six countries, although large-scale military operations across the country had ended, the Qin army continued to fight on the border;In addition, there are some unstable factors in China. Therefore, in order to consolidate the power of the first feudal dynasty, Qin Shihuang cared about the decisive world. In addition to adjusting and improving the unified and centralized feudal state machine on the basis of the original regime, establishing a strict ruling and feudal bureaucratic system from the central to the local government, he also took a series of other measures, one of which was to order the confiscation of weapons from the world, cast twelve bronze men, and stand in Xianyang. According to the "Sanfu Huangtu": "The palace was in Shanglin Garden in Weinan," "can receive 100,000 people, carriages, wine, cycling, roasting, singing, and ten thousand people, and win over the twelve people, standing at the palace gate.

According to historical records, the bronze man is engraved with Li Si seal script and Meng Tian’s calligraphy: ‘In the early 26th year of the emperor, he changed the princes into counties, and the same law, and the same measurement’ and other words. The bronze man’s shape is so large and exquisite and exquisite, which is rare in history. Among them, the most interesting thing is why Qin Shihuang, the first feudal emperor in China, cast these twelve bronze men?

There are two main statements: One theory is that one day, Qin Shihuang encountered a great change in the celestial phenomena, and the dim Yuanlight, and ghosts and gods were in trouble, so he was frightened. At the time of Yuanhua, a Taoist came to give advice and set the twelve gold men to sit firmly in the world. After Qin Shihuang woke up from his dream, he ordered the confiscation of weapons from all over the country to concentrate them in Xianyang and cast the twelve bronze men. Some scholars pointed out that Qin Shihuang believed in the words of Taoist people throughout his life, and then contacted the concerns that were not long after the founding of the country. This statement is credible. Another theory is that after Qin Shihuang unified the country, he was always worried and thinking about how to maintain long-term stability and make the country pass through forever. To sit firmly in the world, the country and waters are solid. The first problem to be solved is that various weapons scattered among the people should be confiscated and destroyed.

Guan Shi also has a story circulating: One day, accompanied by his ministers, Qin Shihuang watched the dance of water, fire, and various jugglings. When he was in great joy, he suddenly saw a team of murderous warriors holding swords and swords on the stage. When Qin Shihuang saw it, Yuan Su touched his heart disease, so he thought about it day and night and couldn't sleep or eat. At this time, when he was about to pick a farmer, he sent a message saying that he had seen twelve giants. A nursery rhyme was circulating in the local area and said: 'QuAfter hearing this, Qin Shihuang was in a state of mind and was filled with emotions. So he used the will of heaven to order all the weapons of the people to confiscate them, concentrate them in Xianyang, and cast twelve bronze men. At present, the traces of these twelve bronze men have long been reported. Some people believe that when Chu Ba Yu Xiangyu conquered the Qin capital Xianyang and burned the Afang Palace, they also burned them together. Because of this theory, the Emperor of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, they agree with it.Few other scholars pointed out that these twelve bronze men were destroyed by Dong Zhuo, and He Jian's hands. In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo led his troops to attack Chang'an, and destroyed ten of them and cast them into copper coins. The remaining two were moved to the Qingmen of Chang'an City by him. By the Three Kingdoms, Emperor Ming of Wei Cao Rui ordered the two bronze men to be transported to Luoyang. When the craftsmen were transported to the drowning city, the bronze men were too heavy and difficult to move, and the operation was terminated. When the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Shi Jilong from the Later Zhao Dynasty brought these two again.A bronze man was transported to the Morffin City. After the Qin King Hejian of the Former Qin Dynasty unified the north, he transported the two bronze men back to Chang'an from the Morffin City to destroy them. At this point, all the bronze men who had been around for about six hundred years were destroyed. Another saying is that these twelve bronze men were not destroyed. Since the twelve bronze men were the favorite things of Qin Shihuang during his lifetime, after the tomb of Qin Shihuang was built, these twelve bronze men and other exquisite items were buried in the tomb together as burial objects.

Ye Tianchen finished speaking in one breath, and then added his own point of view. In fact, when I was studying, I was particularly fascinated by such magical things, so I was very clear. According to my point of view, if a farmer really saw the twelve giants, he might have seen aliens. After all, the thoughts in that era were not developed yet, and when he saw some things that could not be explained, they would be classified as ghosts and gods.

I didn't expect it to be so twisted

Zhao Lianna sighed: But among the three statements, there are two legends that prove that the bronze man has disappeared, and the last one said that it is in the tomb of the King of Qin. It is not clear whether the tomb of the King of Qin issued by this country is true or false. Do they say that they want to enter the cemetery?

Maybe there is this possibility. Xu Yuele said, Husband, do you think there is this possibility?

This kind of thing is hard to say. Speaking of this, I thought of a very important connection. Ye Tianchen paused for a moment and continued, what he wanted to say was the matter of Qin Shihuang sending Xu Fu to the east to seek the immortal pill.

In the 28th year of Qin Shihuang, when Emperor Shihuang first toured the sea, he sent Xu Fu to sail for a long voyage. In history, he regarded this long voyage as Qin Shihuang sent him to search for immortality and seeking immortality.

Xu Fu was a priest from Qi State during the Warring States Period. Most of the priests came from the working people. They were familiar with the production technology and practical experience of the people. They knew some alchemy, medicine, astrology, and navigation. Since Qi State was on the verge of the sea and its navigation technology was very developed, it was a maritime power, so the priests from Qi State were more proficient in navigation technology. Therefore, "Records of the Grand Historian" said: Yàn, the alchemist on Qi State could not pass on his skills... This means that the fortune tellers from these two countries monopolized all navigation technology, which made Qin Shihuang have to look for these former enemies when he needed to carry out navigation activities.

According to historical records, when Qin Shihuang first visited Langzhan Mountain on his first eastern tour, Xu Fu led some people to visit Qin Shihuang, and wrote a letter saying that there are three sacred mountains overseas, named Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou, which are the places where gods live. If you visit them, you will get the medicine for immortality.

Xu Fu raised the banner of Sanshen Mountain for a reason, following the "Records of the Grand Historian: Fengshan Book": Eight famous mountains in the world, and five are in China, and three are in Yiman.

These three mountains in Yiman are the so-called Sanshen Mountains. During the Warring States Period, the princes yearned for it and sent alchemists to it many times. Qin Shihuang, who was determined to live forever, was extremely happy when he heard this and agreed to Xu Fu's request. So Xu Fu took thousands of boys and girls to sail for a long voyage.

Qin Shihuang, who had sent Xu Fu away, looked forward to it and deeply wanted Xu Fu to return with the elixir so that he, the First Emperor, could rule this vast territory forever.

However, after several years, it was not until the 37th year of Qin Shihuang (210 BC), that Xu Fu returned alone, and Qin Shihuang was furious.

Xu Fu lied that he had arrived in Penglai, but the immortals thought that the gifts given by Qin Shihuang were too thin and refused to give them medicine. Qin Shihuang asked the immortals what else they wanted. Xu Fu asked for three thousand boys and girls, as well as seeds of grains, and hundreds of skilled craftsmen who were proficient in various skills. Qin Shihuang once again met his request.

Xu Fu also said that marmoset fish often appear in the sea, which is very dangerous for sailing on the sea. You must send a archer who is good at using crossbows to overcome the difficulties of coming and going. Qin Shihuang also agreed to him. Xu Fu, who was satisfied, went out for the second time, and he never returned. There was no news. Qin Shihuang thought that Xu Fu was killed by marmoset fish, so he ordered everyone who went into the sea to carry equipment that could catch big fish. He prepared a crossbow and shot it when he saw the big fish. It was also forTo prove that the shark fish that Xu Fu mentioned was indeed true. During the tour, Qin Shihuang did not see a big fish along the coast from Langqi to Chengshan Port. When he arrived at Zhifu, he saw a huge sea fish appearing in the nearby waters. Qin Shihuang shot one of them with his own hands. As for whether it was the shark fish that Xu Fu mentioned, there was no way to know. Shooting the shark fish to death could not be exchanged for the immortal medicine that Qin Shihuang thought about day and night. Emperor Qin had no choice but to return to disappointment. In July of the same year, he died of illness on the sand dune platform.

From the information about Xu Fu going to sea compiled according to historical records, it can be seen that Xu Fu went to sea to seek immortality and elixirs for Qin Shihuang, but this is not the case. Xu Fu's purpose of going to sea was not to seek immortality and medicine recorded in historical books, but a Qin Shihuang's adventure of expanding territory. The reasons for this are as follows
