Being a tour guide for historical celebrities, the motherland is amazed again

Chapter 4 Are they going to dig up my grave?
[Reminder to the host: all visitors are from parallel dimensions]

"Parallel dimension? In other words, they weren't originally on the same timeline as us?"

【It can be understood this way】

"That's great. After the ancestor returns, he can change the plane he is in." Su Jiahe's mood suddenly improved.

Although only one of the countless worlds has changed, it has at least made up for a historical regret.

"Miss Su, I don't know what happened next. Please tell me about it." Ying Zheng turned around and called Su Jiahe.

"No problem." Su Jiahe usually likes to read history, and today he finally has a place to use his knowledge.

The two walked past each display case, and Su Jiahe introduced each one to Ying Zheng according to the introduction. It took them half a day to finish looking at all the exhibition halls.

When leaving the Hanzhong Museum, Ying Zheng looked back and sighed again.

"Even if the Han and Tang dynasties were as powerful and prosperous, their reign would only last a few hundred years. Even if I were to return and make preparations for the future, and work diligently to govern the country for thousands of generations, I'm afraid it would be wishful thinking."

Su Jiahe looked at Ying Zheng's lonely eyes, wanting to say something but saying nothing.

Ying Zheng was right. Due to its own limitations, feudal dynasties could basically not escape the 300-year cycle.

"Brother Zheng, let's go eat. What do you want to eat?"

"Just eat something casually. I want to go to see the Terracotta Warriors in the afternoon. Everyone on Tik Tok recommends this attraction." Ying Zheng said impatiently.

"Terracotta Warriors?" Su Jiahe hesitated for a moment. "Brother Zheng, do you know where the Terracotta Warriors are?"

"I know. He was buried with me." Ying Zheng said calmly.

"Okay, but it's a long way."

Su Jiahe was originally afraid that Ying Zheng would be taboo, so she did not include the Terracotta Warriors and the Mausoleum of Mount Li in the itinerary. She did not expect that Ying Zheng would check the travel guide himself.

The two of them ate a bowl of Dadao Liangpi and Roujiamo on the roadside, and then hurriedly got into a taxi.

In the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, Ying Zheng and Su Jiahe followed the crowd and slowly walked along the tour route.

Looking at the lifelike terracotta warriors in the pit, Ying Zheng's heart was filled with emotion, as if he saw the soldiers who had fought with him in the wars.

As time goes by, the Qin Dynasty has long since turned to dust, but they still stand here, guarding themselves day and night.

"After two thousand years, my Terracotta Warriors are still in such good condition." Ying Zheng said with relief.

"Brother Zheng, you should thank the scholars and technicians of later generations. They were the ones who excavated and restored these terracotta warriors."

At this time, the voice of a tour guide came -

"Since the Terracotta Army was rediscovered in 1974, nearly 10,000 pieces have been unearthed to date, but there are still many areas waiting to be discovered. Exactly how many Terracotta Army soldiers there are remains a mystery."

"It's really not easy for the Qin Dynasty to produce so many terracotta warriors," sighed a tourist.

Su Jiahe stood on tiptoe and whispered in Ying Zheng's ear, "Brother Zheng, can you tell me how many Terracotta Warriors there are?"

"Let me think about it, it should be..."

[Ding Dong] The system prompt sound suddenly rang.

[Host reminder: Do not proactively ask visitors about unsolved historical mysteries. If you violate this rule, all systems will be disabled immediately.]

Hearing the hint, Su Jiahe quickly covered Ying Zheng's mouth.

"This question is not important, so there is no need to talk about it."

"Alright, actually I don't know either." In the plane where Ying Zheng resides, he has only been on the throne for a year, and the Terracotta Army is not yet finished. Su Jiahe, who had just been warned by the system, felt somewhat disappointed.

She originally had many questions to ask Ying Zheng, such as what books were burned during the Book Burning and Burying of Scholars, whether the Twelve Golden Men actually existed, and whether the Afang Palace was built.

Now it's all over.

After visiting the Terracotta Warriors, the two went to the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

Qin Shi Huang's tomb had not yet been excavated and was just a mound of earth. As the sky grew darker, Ying Zheng stood in front of his own tomb, feeling the evening breeze.

"It seems that I didn't find the elixir of immortality after all."

"Brother Zheng, let alone the Qin Dynasty, even now, the elixir of immortality has not been invented." Su Jiahe said helplessly.

“Nothing overseas?”

"No, Xu Fu didn't find the elixir of immortality after he went out to sea. He didn't dare to go back, so he stayed on an island." Su Jiahe shook his head, "Besides, elixirs are not reliable. If you don't take them, you can live longer."

"Alas, for a vague dream, I have spent so much manpower and financial resources, and it has backfired. How sad."

The afterglow fell on the grave mound. Ying Zheng looked into the distance with a hint of relief in his eyes.

Among the crowd, there was a little child who came with his parents to visit the imperial tomb.

"Qin Shi Huang wasted people's money and resources to build the Terracotta Army and such a large mausoleum just to bury himself. He was a real tyrant." The child said, pointing at the mound of graves.

"Don't talk nonsense, kid." Su Jiahe hurriedly stopped him, but this action aroused the dissatisfaction of the child's mother.

"Why are you so mean to my child? Qin Shi Huang is your father, why are you so protective of him?"

Su Jiahe’s inner thoughts: Qin Shi Huang is not my father, but he is standing next to me. Do you believe it?
"Forget it," Ying Zheng waved his hand. "Children speak without restraint. Besides, future generations will always have mixed opinions about me."

"Brother Zheng, I hope you can think it through."

"How will future generations evaluate the Terracotta Warriors?" Ying Zheng suddenly asked.

"You heard everything just now at the Terracotta Warriors Museum. The Terracotta Warriors are hailed as a miracle, with extremely high historical and artistic value..."

"Forget it, forget it. I don't understand art and history. I ordered people to make the Terracotta Warriors for the soldiers of Qin." Ying Zheng interrupted Su Jiahe.

"Besides the emperors and generals whose names have been recorded in history, there are also countless soldiers who sacrificed their lives for their country without leaving behind any names."

"I ordered their likenesses to be made into terracotta figures in order to preserve their appearances and let the world remember that each of these warriors once fought for our Great Qin."

Su Jiahe felt mixed emotions after hearing what Ying Zheng said.

She found that Ying Zheng did not seem to be as "mean and ungrateful" as recorded in history.

"Also, I've seen some people online exaggerating my tomb. They say it has night-shining pearls for stars, mercury for rivers, a perpetual lamp burning in the tomb, and my coffin floating on the mercury, patrolling the nine provinces day and night."

"How can the Great Qin have so much mercury and night-shining pearls? As for the eternal lamp, it is a figment of the imagination."

"I admit that conquering the Xiongnu, pacifying the Yi and Yue people, and building the Great Wall have indeed cost us a fortune and a great deal of manpower. But the world is not yet settled, and bandits are everywhere. I cannot wait. If I can rule the world, I will bear the infamy of future generations."

"But those Confucian scholars of later generations who slandered me were a bit exaggerated."

"Brother Zheng, calm down. This matter has nothing to do with Confucian scholars. Those marketing accounts are talking nonsense." Su Jiahe was afraid that Confucian scholars would suffer after Ying Zheng returned, so she hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"Besides, your tomb has never been excavated. People think it's mysterious, which is why there are so many bizarre speculations."

"What? They want to dig up my grave?"
