Chapter 296 Poisoned?
The most likely place to find Haihunhou Yin, but still did not find Haihunhouyin.

This is undoubtedly a very shocking news.

Where is the official seal of Marquis Haihun?

This thing is impossible to pass down the family.

According to the system of the Western Han Dynasty, one prince and one seal.

For example, the current Marquis of Haihun, the seal of Marquis of Haihun he possessed was given after he inherited the title of Marquis of Haihun, after the central engraving.

After his death, this seal will go underground with him.

And the new Haihunhou will get a new Haihunhou seal from the Central Committee of the Western Han Dynasty.

On the one hand, this is a kind of honor, on the other hand, it is also a means of controlling the inheritance of nobles.

As we all know, in ancient times, "seal" was a very important thing.

Especially official seals.

Basically Indo people matter.

If an official wants to issue an order without an official seal on the order, the officials below will not recognize it.

Conversely, if there is an official seal on an order, even if the order is not issued by the owner of the official seal, the officials under the order will recognize it.

It's just that the official with the official seal may be dismissed from office because the official seal is lost, or the official seal is stolen, used for private use, or abused.

It can be seen how important the official seal is.

Even if the emperor wants to bypass the emperor's seal and issue any orders, it will not work.

Formal emperor's orders must be stamped with the emperor's seal + the prime minister's seal to be considered legal.

If the emperor seals it, but the prime minister does not, it is called "not being called", and this emperor's order is considered illegal and will not be conveyed to the world.

Therefore, if a Hou seal is abused after Liehou's death, it will be very troublesome.

The best way is to bury this Hou Yin in the tomb.

Then, the successor Marquis has to wait for the edict to inherit the title and the new Marquis seal sent by the central government, so that he can be regarded as inheriting the Marquis.

With such a restrictive method, the central government has pinched the succession rights of the princes.

At least if you don't have a new seal engraved by the central government, then you can't be regarded as a real successor to the title, you have to be obedient to the central government.

This point is the same way as in the later North Korea, every time the king changed, he had to obtain the imperial decree and royal clothes from Daming.

If Daming doesn't give you canonization or clothes for the prince, then you don't officially become the new king of Joseon.

Even if Daming procrastinated for a while, the other princes in North Korea could feel at ease in their hearts.

Your name is not right, and you don't have the canonization of Ming Dynasty, so can I make military remonstrance and kill you?
There have been many civil strife for the throne in North Korea, all of which were influenced by Ming's non-canonization.

Therefore, Liu He, Marquis of Haihun, must also bring his Hou Yin underground after death, and it is impossible to stay in the world.

If his son wants to succeed to the throne, he will also seek a new seal from the central government!
However, after searching for a long time in Haihunhou's inner coffin, no one could find the "Haihunhou seal"!
Where is this printed?
do not know!
Disappointed, Chen Han and the others put the extracted pillows back into place. Apart from shaking their heads and sighing, they could only pin their hopes on other areas in the coffin.

It is impossible not to have Hou Yin.

It's not found now, it's just not found.

Everyone believes in this!

Since it's not behind the pillow, keep looking!
Excavation work continues.

After extracting the pillow, everyone extracted and cleaned Liu He's neck.

Come step by step.

There was nothing left on the head side, only a set of teeth remained in Liu He's head, and the jade nine orifices were cleaned up, and there was a glazed mat under the pillow.

This naturally moves down to the neck to continue cleaning.

And this cleaning of the neck, in Liu He's throat, the archaeologists were surprised again.

Chen Han found some fragrant melon seeds in Liu He's throat again!

"A throat goes down to the intestines, all the way!"

"Look, here's a pile, there's a pile, there's a lot!"

"Throat to chest and abdomen, this is an esophagus running down!"

"It's full of melon seeds, he ate a lot!"

"This is where the esophagus is, including the stomach."

"This shows that this cantaloupe must have been the last thing Liu He ate during his lifetime, and it is very likely that he died suddenly while eating the cantaloupe!"

"This is a sudden death!"

"The melon seeds are still in the esophagus, this person is dead?!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard that fragrant melon seeds were found in the esophagus.

From the esophagus and throat, to the stomach, to the anus, we found fragrant melon seeds!
It can even be said bluntly that Liu He died from eating melon seeds!
"Poisonous?!" Chen Han exclaimed suddenly.

He seems to have discovered a shocking secret?

Maybe Liu He ate poisonous melon and was poisoned to death?
Was there a reason Liu He was poisoned to death?

Have!
Of course!
As long as he is alive, he is a threat to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty!
Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was too motivated to kill Liu He!
After all, this is a person who ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor before him!
If it is said that after Emperor Xuan of the Han brought down the Huo family, who else in the world would threaten his throne, then only this Haihunhou who lives in Nanchang is left!

If Haihunhou is dead, and it is best for Haihunhou's line to die again, then it would be great for Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty!

And what's even more strange.

Historically, after the death of Haihunhou Liu He, the succession of the titles of the Haihunhou family is very strange.

"Haihun Hou He died, and he was duped to be the latter's son to occupy the country; after the death of the state, he returned to his brother and served his relatives; after serving his relatives and returning to his death, this is the ultimate destiny."

This is the record in "Han Shu".

That is to say, after the death of Marquis Haihun, his son Liu Chongguo inherited the title of Marquis of Haihun, but Liu Chongguo soon became like him again, so his younger brother inherited the title again, and his younger brother also died quickly.

So the local officials played, saying that the lineage of Haihunhou died so quickly, it was the sky that wanted the lineage of Haihunhou to perish.

Then, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty agreed with the local officials and removed the title of Marquis of Haihun.

The other descendants of Marquis Haihun all became commoners.

Is this a coincidence?
Coincidentally, so coincidentally.

As soon as Liu He died, the eldest son died when he succeeded, and the second son died when he succeeded.

Then the local officials thought that this was because God did not want the line of Haihunhou to continue to pass on.

Then Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty reconsidered.

Just looking at this record in history, you will feel very strange.

Now, it was discovered that Haihunhou Liu He died suddenly while eating cantaloupe.

This is even more suspicious!

Two points can be determined.

The first point is that Haihunhou eats a lot of cantaloupe, because there are a lot of cantaloupe seeds, not like the amount of a melon.

The second point is that the time of Haihunhou's death was very close to the time when he ate cantaloupe. Even when he died, he still had cantaloupe seeds in his throat.

This means that one second he was still swallowing cantaloupe, and the next second he was dead.

Is this melon poisonous?
