The last king of Lu Qi was Qi Kanggong Lu Dai!

In the "Tian clan replaced Qi" incident, the person who was deposed and replaced by the Tian clan was Qi Kanggong Lu Dai. "Historical Records" records that Lu Dai was exiled to an island near the sea by the Tian clan, and some arrangements were initially made for him.

They provided food for their living, and later even these food towns were completely recovered.

From then on, Lu Daibian lived an extremely difficult life and could only dig holes on the hillside to make a stove. He died not long after.

As for which island near the sea Qi Kanggong Lu Dai was exiled to, the "Historical Records" does not state it, and later archaeological circles have not yet reached a definite conclusion: there is a theory that the Qi Xiao Mausoleum site in Zibo City is the mausoleum of Qi Kang Gong

; There is also a theory that Qikang Public Collection should be a tomb site located on Zhifu Island in Yantai City.

Although these two tomb sites are located within the territory of Qi State, they are actually very far away from Yuzhou Mountain where Wu Liang is currently located.

As for Kang Cemetery, Wu Liang also has his own opinions.

First of all, the tomb site of Qi Xiaoling Mausoleum can basically be ruled out.

At that time, Lu Dai was deported to the island and died of poverty on the island. He was already alone when he died.

And since the Tian family came to power, the Qi State has been under the control of the Tian family. Until the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Tian Heng, the last Qi king of the Tian family, died, and since then there has been no Qi state in the world.

Under this situation, Lu Dai and the descendants of the Lu family had no chance of overturning the situation, and naturally it was impossible to specially build a mausoleum of the size of the "Qi Xiaoling Mausoleum" for Lu Dai.

besides.

Zibo City is not close to the sea, and the "Qi Xiaoling Mausoleum" has nothing to do with the island. These are far from the records in "Historical Records", and as far as Wu Liang knows, in order to develop tourism in later generations, various places in the Celestial Dynasty often made far-fetched decisions.

In addition to distorting history, some propaganda is not credible, at least it must not be regarded as archaeological evidence, otherwise it will only be misled.

And the most important thing is.

Research from various parties has shown that the Qi Xiaoling Mausoleum is not a mausoleum from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period at all, not even a mausoleum from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so it can be ruled out directly.

Next is the "Kang Cemetery" located on Zhifu Island, Yantai City.

The geographical location of this mausoleum is very consistent with the records in "Historical Records". It is indeed an island near the sea. However, to be precise, it should not be called an island, but a peninsula, because "Zhifu Island" is actually directly connected to the mainland.

together.

And there are rumors that in the 1940s, fishermen did dig out more than 40 large blue bricks on this island. These bricks are very similar to the blue bricks used by Qin Shihuang when he built the Great Wall, and the decorative patterns on them are very similar.

It is also very similar to the decorative patterns of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

These two points seem to have confirmed the authenticity of "Kang Cemetery".

But it's not.

Because as far as Wu Liang knows, the more than 40 blue bricks were not actually found on Zhifu Island, but in Datong Town, Weihai City, which is far away from here. There is no direct relationship between the two.

And according to various studies, the "Kang Cemetery" on Zhifu Island is not a mausoleum from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Therefore, these two tombs are actually fake and cannot be used as archaeological evidence.

So excluding these two places that are suspected to be Qikang Gong’s mausoleum in later generations, where will the real Qikang Cemetery be, or where is the island where Qi Kang Gong was originally exiled?

Wu Liang couldn't say either.

The only thing he could be sure of was that there were probably islands on all the coastlines of Qi's territory.

As for Qi Kanggong's mausoleum, it may exist, or it may not exist at all.

Just as he had thought before, after "the Tian family replaced Qi", the Lu family completely withdrew from the stage of history. The descendants of the Lu family never had the opportunity to return to the political stage of Qi State, and Qi Kanggong could not even cover up the political stage of Qi State. There was no shelter from the wind and rain, and he ended up dying of hardship.

A phoenix in distress is not as good as a chicken. In this case, Qi Kanggong has to live how the common people live. The common people can starve to death on the roadside and become unclaimed starving corpses. Naturally, Qi Kanggong should not receive any special treatment and even die on an island. It may not be discovered until long after death.

So.

Is it possible that Duke Kang of Qi was exiled to Yuzhou Mountain?

Of course there are.

Yuzhou Mountain is also an island in the territory of Qi State, and it is worth mentioning that there are many descendants of the Qi royal family and nobles who once lived in Qu County. Xu Fu is one of them, and the last Qi king of the Tian family, Tian Heng, is also one .

After the fall of Qi State, they all chose to live in seclusion in Qu County, which is enough to illustrate the status of Qu County among the Qi royal family and nobles.

However, it is unclear why Qu County has such a status in their minds.

this……

Thinking of this, Wu Liang suddenly came up with another speculation that had nothing to do with Qi Kanggong, but was quite a conspiracy theory:

Qin finally destroyed Qi and unified the world.

Xu Fu, a descendant of the aristocratic family of Qi State, and Tian Heng, a descendant of the Qi royal family, were old friends.

Xu Fu thought that Qin Shihuang was looking for the elixir of immortality, so he obtained a large amount of materials from Qin Shihuang, spent a lot of manpower building mirages, and finally went to sea never to return.

Soon the people were unhappy and resentful, and Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted.

Tian Heng and his brother Tian Rong took the opportunity to raise troops to occupy all the land and establish themselves as kings of Qi...

If these things are connected together, it is a far-sighted plan to restore the country, which is staggering.

Could this be the historical truth?

Although what Xu Fu did did not directly affect the rule of the Qin State, and the demise of the Qin State had many elements of the First Emperor and the Second Emperor committing suicide themselves, this move must have played a role in fueling the flames.

That's why.

When Xu Fu learned about the Qin Dynasty's overthrow of the Han Dynasty and the establishment of the Han Dynasty, he immediately wanted to return. In fact, he wanted to see how Qi's restoration plan was going.

Or perhaps, although Xu Fu received news about the founding of the Han Dynasty, that news also included news about the restoration of Qi.

After all, at the beginning of the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising, the restored Qi State had been in an independent state. This state lasted for a long time. It was not until Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu that he freed up his hands to order Han Xin to attack Qi State.

This process also continued for a period of time, until Liu Bang officially proclaimed himself emperor and established the Han Dynasty, and the restored Qi State still existed until Tian Hengshen died...

If this is the case.

Wu Liang then had to consider another issue:

For example: In what year did Xu Fu leave Japan and return? If he successfully returned to the Celestial Dynasty, was the restored Qi State still there at that time, was Tian Hengyou dead, and did Xu Fu see this old friend?

After joining Xu Fu, he really returned to the Celestial Dynasty and finally met Tian Heng.

So Yuzhou Mountain, as the island where Tian Heng finally retreated, has a high probability of being the last place Xu Fu stayed...

But these are just Wu Liang's guesses.

Now we still have to find out the abnormal aura of "Tai Gong Seal".

"Cha Mu, you saw that the aura of this copper seal suddenly released wildly, so can these auras point to a clear direction?"

After withdrawing his thoughts, Wu Liang looked at Prince Chamu and asked.

"That's not true."

Prince Chamu shook his head.

"There is no clear direction..."

Wu Liangzhong felt a little disappointed.

However, it is not without gain. This at least shows that there must be some foreign object in this place that can stimulate the "Tai Gong Seal". If the foreign object can be found, even if it may not have anything to do with Xu Fu, it may still reveal something related to the Qi State.

The unknown historical truth about the Lu family.

With this in mind, Wu Liang looked at the witch Hu who was following behind him, and asked: "By the way, Miss Hu, is there any record in your shrine about Xu Fu building a ship and returning to Han Dynasty? Can you confirm which year it was?

?”

"I don't know how to tell the year. I just know that it should be the fifth year after King Qin presented the jade seal to the Emperor of Han as written in your history books."

The witch Hu thought for a moment before speaking unconfidently.

"That will be the fifth year of Han Dynasty."

Wu Liangliang calculated.

It’s not surprising that the witch shouted, because there was no universal perpetual calendar at this time. Every time a new emperor came to the dynasty, the reign name would be changed and the year would be counted again.

Therefore, there are often many year names such as the third year of Qin II, the fourth year of Chuping, and the thirteenth year of Jian'an.

Faced with such era names, not only was it a witch calling such a Japanese, but also many laymen in later generations were confused and couldn't tell which year these era names referred to.

Even Wu Liang sometimes has to guess the year based on some iconic historical events.

The incident that the witch called out happened to provide help to Wu Liang.

The fifth year of Han Dynasty.

It was the year when Liu Bang officially proclaimed himself emperor, and many things happened in the following years. Tian Heng was forced to leave Yuzhou Mountain and return to the mainland by boat to Luoyang to meet the emperor. In the end, he died only three days away from Luoyang.

The Yanshi incident in Shili also happened in that year.

However, Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor in the first month of the year.

There is no record of the specific time of Tian Heng's death, except that it must have been after Liu Bei became emperor.

That is to say, the longest interval between these two events is only eleven or two months.

During this period, Xu Fu received the news and built a ship to return to China. Can he still catch up?

"Girl, when you take a boat to our country, where do you usually land?"
