Before Qin Shi Huang unified the 6 kingdoms, the Chu state was the largest princely state in terms of land area among the various princely states, and its strength was very strong, but later because of the outbreak of war, the strength of the Chu state was slowly weakened and annexed by other countries. As a former territory of the Chu State in Hunan, many ancient tombs of the Chu State have been excavated, and extremely rich cultural relics have been unearthed in the tombs, which effectively helps experts to study the history of the Chu State. Moreover, a pre-Qin period "Excalibur" was also unearthed in Hunan, and experts used X-rays to say: "The unsolved mystery of contemporary science!" ”
An ancient tomb of the Chu state was found in Hunan, and the sword of the Monarch of the Yue Kingdom was unearthed
In the 1990s, a villager in Yiyang, Hunan Province, accidentally dug a hole in the earth while farming in the field, and from outside the cave, he could clearly see the extremely luxuriously built burial chamber, and the villagers realized that they had dug up the ancient tomb and reported the matter to the local cultural relics bureau. After receiving the message, the experts rushed to the scene to keep the area where the ancient tomb was found, and then excavated the ancient tomb rescuely. With the efforts of experts, from under this land excavated a 2400-year-old Chuguo tomb, the scale of the tomb is very magnificent, both in terms of construction and the number of cultural relics are tombs belonging to the nobility.
Not only that, the expert also found a very magical sword in the burial chamber, which is very similar to the "Yue Wang Gou Jian Sword" treasured in the museum, and the expert guessed that there might be an important connection between the two swords, so he took it back to the museum to study it carefully. After the research of experts, it was found that this sword was not the "Yue Wang Gou Jian Sword" but the Yue Wang Zhou Gou carry-on sword. The name of Yue Wang Zhou is Zhu Gou , which is the next generation of Yue Kings after Gou Jian. At the same time, he was also the most prominent king of the Yue Kingdom besides the Gouge.
The yue wangzhou's collusion methods were cruel, making the means of succession in later generations more and more cruel
When Yue Wangzhou was in power, it was the most powerful period of the Yue state's military, and he was very ambitious, constantly attacking other princely states for many years, directly annexing the territory of these countries, so that the military strength of the Yue state reached its peak, and later it became one of the four major powers at that time, and its military strength was not lost to the State of Qi, the State of Jin, and the State of Chu. Zhou Gou was a powerful monarch, but he was not a good son, and his methods of fighting for the throne were very cruel, and he could even kill his father Yue Wangbushou for the sake of power. After his father's death, he successfully ascended to the throne, but his cruel methods also deeply affected future generations for thousands of years, and the royal family began to become cruel because of him.
With the death of Zhu Gou, the strength of the Yue state began to gradually weaken, the failure to attack the state of Qi coupled with the fierce political disputes at home, the whole country was in a situation of internal and external troubles, in order to seize the throne, Yue Wangfeng's sons were killed one after another, and the traitors even instigated Yue Wangfeng to kill his son. When the son of Yue Wangyi, who was the crown prince at the time, learned that his father wanted to kill himself for the sake of power, he directly killed his father first. The way these cruel rulers of later generations took the throne had a great deal to do with Zhu Gou. When Yue Wang Wujian was "crusading" against the Chu State, he was beheaded by the King of Chu Wei, and many of the treasures of the Yue Kingdom fell into the hands of the Chu State, including the sword of Zhu Gou, the King of Yue. This is also the reason why the sword of the Yue King appeared in the ancient tomb of the Chu Kingdom.
Experts found that the sword was damaged, speculating that it was the work of tomb robbers
After learning this historical information, experts are more committed to the study of the secrets of this sword, and after using X-ray illumination, they found that the pattern on the sword is very similar to that on the "Yue Wang Gou Jian Sword", which should be from the same craftsman's hand, and also found the presence of sulfur on the surface of the sword. But what makes people feel strange is that when the "Yue Wang Gou Jian Sword" was first unearthed, it can be said that it was cut like iron, but this sword was very dull, even a little rusty, what the hell is going on? Experts speculate that the sword was probably badly damaged by tomb robbers a long time ago, which is why this situation occurred. Unfortunately, the experts found out too late and did not bring out the sword in time to keep it well. Today, this sword is preserved in the Hunan Provincial Museum, although the sword is slightly damaged, it is also a very rare sword.
