A generation of empress Wu Zetian, that is a famous figure in history, as the first female emperor in ancient Chinese history, Wu Zetian is undoubtedly the most controversial woman, indeed Wu Zetian criticized a lot, but she also has a great contribution, who said that women are inferior to men, Wu Zetian is the best proof of face beating.
It is a pity that Wu Zetian's Qianling has not been excavated so far, that is because the Qianling is safe and sound, there is no sign of theft, so it is natural to temporarily protect it, it is reported that countless treasures have been buried in Qianlong, which is indeed of great attraction to many experts.
Who could have imagined that an ordinary villager found an accident when digging Chinese herbal medicine on a mountain, it turned out that he dug up a "Wu Zetian Relic", when this matter attracted a large number of cultural relics dealers to come and go, they offered a high price to attract this villager, who could have imagined that this villager was actually not moved by money, and finally handed over to the state free of charge, in addition to admiration or admiration.
It was in 1982 in Dengfeng, Henan, the protagonist is a 26-year-old young man named Qu Xihuai, when Qu Xihuai went with the villagers to the mountains to collect Chinese medicinal materials, in fact, this is the "Dengfeng Altar" built by Wu Zetian, I did not expect that when Qu Xihuai was digging for Chinese herbal medicine, a thin piece with gold appeared in front of him, Qu Xihuai naturally did not understand what it was, but just felt that this thing was very exquisite, and it seemed to be made of gold.
In this way, Qu Xihuai took him back to his home, but soon the news that Qu Xihuai dug up the treasure spread, followed by villagers and some dealers who did cultural relics business, at that time, some cultural relics dealers came directly with cash, the opening price ranged from thousands to tens of thousands, one of which directly gave a price of 100,000, which at that time can be said to be a sky-high price, estimated to be equivalent to tens of millions now.
It is reasonable to say that Qu Xihuai should have chosen to agree, who could have imagined that Qu Xihuai was "oil and salt do not enter", no matter how the cultural relics dealers pleaded, it was useless, because Qu Xihuai knew that this metal sheet was definitely a cultural relic, and it was also very heavyweight, so Qu Xihuai chose to hand it over to the state.
Later, Qu Xihuai learned that this was the original "Tang Wu Zetian Extermination Jin Jian", which was one of the few relics handed down by Wu Zetian, which recorded the historical data of Wu Zetian's activities in Songshan, and its value could be imagined.
Of course, the country did not treat Qu Xihuai badly, and finally opened a commendation meeting for him, and then rewarded him with 1500 yuan in cash and honorary certificates, although 1500 yuan was nothing compared with 100,000 yuan, but it was also a big number at the time, and this greater significance lies in the honors obtained behind it.
Later, when Qu Xihuai was interviewed, he also made it clear that because he took the initiative to hand over "Tang WuzeZeze to eliminate the crime of Jin Jian", he was ridiculed by the villagers for being stupid, after all, compared with 100,000 yuan and 1500 yuan, which is lighter and heavier, but Qu Xihuai resolutely said that he did not regret it, because the cultural relics should belong to the country, and it is really a song and a cry!
