214. The Ancestor of the Nalan Family
Bi Xi carried a huge stone tablet on his back, three meters high, with tadpole script carved on it that Lili couldn't understand. Li Li tried hard to recall the styles of old Manchu scripts that she had seen before. No matter how much she compared them, she still felt that they were weird.
The words on the stone tablet carried on the back are somewhat different from the traditional Manchu characters, and seem to be more regular.
Nan Haiyue jumped off her horse and when she saw Bixi appeared, she was no longer in a hurry to find Nalanhong. Instead, she stood there and stared at the inscription for a long time.
Lili asked her: "Haiyue, do you know her? Is this Manchu? Why do you look so ancient?"
Nan Haiyue replied: "This is also Manchu. It is called Tungus. It appeared earlier and was the official term of the Eight Banners of Manchuria in the early Qing Dynasty. It is somewhat different from the Manchu that was first adapted from Mongolian."
She thought for a while and saw that this silly sister didn't seem to understand. She simply continued to ask questions without waiting for her to silently chirp, and directly explained: "Sister, have you heard of Nalan Pearl?"
"Mingzhu? Are you the four auxiliary ministers in the early days of Kangxi?"
"Yes, this is Nalan Pearl. At that stage in the early Qing Dynasty, he was the most powerful official of the Nalan family. It seems that Nalan Hong must also be his descendant."
Lili was confused and still didn't understand and asked: "Nalan Pearl? But shouldn't the tokens of the Four Belles be in the hands of the then emperor Huang Taiji? How does it have anything to do with the Nalan family? Oops! I'm confused!
It’s Brother Dong again, it’s Huang Taiji again, and now it’s Nalan Pearl!”
"Did your history teacher teach you the history of the early Qing Dynasty when you were in school? Sister, who is Huang Taiji? Huang Taiji's biological mother is Yehenala's Menggu, and Menggu wants to call Dong brother aunt, Menggu's
The father is Dong Ge’s second brother Yang Jiniu!”
"It's messed up, it's messed up, no, you have to let me explain it again. I didn't understand it, but I just know one thing... I seemed to be evil instantly. So, Nurhachi married Ye He before he fell in love with Brother Dong.
"Gege Menggu, Menggu still calls Brother Dong aunt, wow! It tastes so strong!"
"Good sister, this doesn't matter. Why don't you care who Nurhachi likes? Let's see what Nalan Mingzhu said first!"
According to the Tungus language records in Bixi, this place was sealed as a forbidden area for the Nalan family, and intruders would be cursed by Nurhaci.
"Holy crap! This Nalan Pearl is actually scary. Why did he move Nurhaci out of his Nalan family's territory?" Lili said, uttering obscene words.
It turns out that this is indeed the earliest cemetery built by the Mongols for Brother Dong. The reason why he was not buried according to the Mongolian customs of the husband's family was because... because Brother Dong's body was indeed not in the hands of the Mongols. For some unknown reason, Brother Dong's body was buried in Mongolia.
People dare not keep it in their own hands. For various reasons (the ancient Tungus language recorded here is too vague and Nanhaiyue cannot translate it), it falls on a grassland tribe that is a branch of the Oroqen people. This is also the same as Wushuang brought from the Kunlun Mountains in the Western Regions.
It is consistent with the records in the Lobsang Tenzin scrolls returned. Firstly, this is the tomb of Dongge. Secondly, Dongge, as the highest-ranking woman in the Yehe family in the early Qing Dynasty, also hides many unknown things.
These secrets are his own and those left by Ye He's descendants here, so these weird barriers are set up to stop the rebels.
"Wait!" Lili suddenly interrupted Nan Haiyue.
"Haiyue, don't blame me for being suspicious. I'd like to ask, sister, you said that Tungusic was the official language in the early Qing Dynasty and is different from ordinary Manchu. Moreover, the history of the Ye He family is complicated. I dare to ask, how do you know everything about it?
