Speaking of Ganling, I believe many people are familiar with it. This mausoleum of Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian enjoys a high status in the history of China, and it is also legendary. 400,000 troops couldn't find its entrance, so there was nothing they could do. Grave robbers rushed to Ganling, but it still stood tenaciously in the wind and rain and was not stolen for thousands of years. This is a miracle.

But in fact, there was a dry mausoleum in ancient history, which was the dry mausoleum in Liao Dynasty. Although this mausoleum doesn't seem to be very famous in history, the empress dowager buried in it is also quite famous historical figures, namely Emperor Jing of Liao and Xiao Taihou. Xiao Taihou's name is equivalent to Wu Zetian. Although she didn't become an emperor, she also had a regent career in Liao Dynasty for nearly 30 years, during which she made great contributions to Liao country.

Xiao Taihou, a Chinese character, was the daughter of a high official and a small official in Liao Dynasty. When Liao was assassinated, Xiao secretly blocked the news, and then helped to establish Liao's nephew and Liao Sezong's son Ye ascended the throne, that is, Liao Jingdi. After Ye Luxian succeeded to the throne, the youngest daughter, 17 years old, entered the palace and became the imperial concubine. Less than two months later, Xiao Chuo was made queen and became the wife of Yeluxian.

Xiao Chuo was the queen for less than seven years, and the politics of Liao country was gradually taken over by her. This is not because Xiao Chuo has great ambitions, but because Emperor Liao Jingdi is really in poor health. In fact, his body became ill at the age of four. When he was four years old, civil strife broke out in Liao country, and his father Liao Shizong was killed, and his mother was also killed. The young emperor Liao Jingdi escaped, but in the following years, he became ill with fear.

Therefore, after Emperor Jing of Liao succeeded to the throne, he often relied on it and failed to live up to his sacred expectations. He handles state affairs very well. In 976, Emperor Jing of Liao publicly stated that what the queen said could be used? Me? And then what? Pay? Said, the meaning is self-evident, that is, it represents the emperor, and the status of the emperor is the same, while Liao only listens to the decision most of the time, but basically does not interfere.

Six years later, Jingdi died of illness, and Xiao Chuo's son, Yelu Longxu, aged 12, succeeded to the throne, leaving a will? Military affairs obey the queen's orders? . Although Yelulongxu was still young, there was no civil strife in Liao due to Xiao Chuo's political skill. The smooth transfer of political power gave Liao a good opportunity for development, and Xiao Chuo, who became the empress dowager, led Liao to a new stage during her regency. This woman is really not simple.

His political skills and abilities are comparable to those of Wu Zetian. Perhaps the only difference between them is that Xiao Chuo has no ambition to be an emperor from beginning to end. She later returned to Yelulongxu and died in the winter of 1009. Emperor Jing of Liao was buried in Ganling after his death, which has the same name as the tombs of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian in Tang Dynasty, but Ganling is different from Ganling.

The dry mausoleum of the Tang Dynasty still stands there. In order to be robbed and dug, the dry mausoleum of the Liao Dynasty has been robbed and dug many times. This dry mausoleum, located in Longgangzi Village, Liaoning Province, has long been unrecognizable. The ground has been destroyed in a mess, and there are few underground palaces left, which is in stark contrast to the dry tombs of the Tang Dynasty.

Liao Ganling was robbed 1 10 years after Xiao Taihou's death. In the process of establishing the Jin Dynasty and destroying the Liao Dynasty, the Jin Army stole the Ganling and plundered the cultural relics inside. At the end of the Jin Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong of Jin Dynasty was forced by Genghis Khan to move the capital south to Bianjing, and the north gradually became desolate. Liaoganling was once again targeted by grave robbers, and natural cultural relics were looted again.

In the 20th century, Liaogan Mausoleum was stolen by grave robbers several times. Even in the first few years of 2 1 century, the Liaogan Mausoleum was stolen and dug. Grave robbers are really persistent about Liao Ganling. After several excavations, it is conceivable what the underground palace of Liaoganling looks like. I guess I've got everything I can and can't take. After all, the grave robbers finally went and had to bring something out.

So, what kind of treasure is there in Liaoganling? I'm afraid only those grave robbers who have been to Liaoganling know this. Since 1990s, the cultural relics and treasures of Liaoganling have gradually formed. For example, the crowns of Ye Luxian and Xiao Chuo; For example, Xiao Taihou's phoenix robe.

Another example is Xiao Taihou's gold shroud, as well as various gold medals, bronze medals and jade medals from Emperor Jing of Liao and Xiao Taihou, which gradually appear in front of the world. Among them, the most shocking thing is the gold shroud belonging to Xiao Taihou, which is also known as the shroud.

The popularity of the gold shroud is not high, because archaeologists and researchers do not study it much, so the world lacks the necessary understanding. However, it is said that the valuation of this gold shroud is around 3.4 billion. I believe that no one can fail to know what this number is.

We know that in the Western Han Dynasty, the shroud of the royal family was often a golden dress, which was really priceless. The gold and jade clothes worn by Liu Sheng, King of Zhongshan Jing, became the first batch of cultural relics forbidden to go abroad for exhibitions in China, and its value was reflected in billions of dollars. The value of this gold shroud in Xiao Taihou is much higher than that in Liu Shenggui, which shows how the gold shroud exists.

In fact, the name of Xiao Taihou Shroud alone has added a lot of color to this gold shroud. Of course, many people think that this kind of gold shroud only existed in the 1990s. Wasn't it dug up by grave robbers from Liaoganling before? This is really not true. The golden shroud was probably brought out from Liaoganling at first. In other words, when Liaoganling was stolen for the first time, the gold shroud was stolen, and the grave robbers behind it had never seen the gold shroud.

Nomads from even directly destroyed the Liao Dynasty. Naturally, it is impossible not to take the gold shroud worn by Xiao Taihou. Otherwise, they can't brazenly dig the dry tombs of Liao Dynasty. Ordinary grave robbers may have some taboos when they rob a tomb, but this kind of robbery in the form of troubled times troops not only wants the treasure in the tomb, but also wants to trample on it.
