Chapter 634

Because it looked too ordinary, it was not at all like the cultural relics unearthed before, which were very valuable.

Fang Yang did not expect to unearth such a cultural relic either, but he did not feel disappointed about it; he even felt that since this was a cultural relic, it had value. If others felt they didn't like it, then he would take this cultural relic back to his own Fang Yang Museum. In any case, this cultural relic would definitely not be casually thrown aside; it would always be treated with care.

"If you feel that this cultural relic is very ordinary, you can actually give it to me."

Seeing that the expressions of these cultural relic experts were all very complicated, Fang Yang took the initiative to bring this point up.

"We don't feel that this cultural relic is very ordinary."

The person who said this clearly lacked confidence in their voice; in fact, they really didn't feel there was anything ordinary about it.

However, because the cultural relic unearthed before was Empress Dowager Cixi's ivory fan, and then suddenly they unearthed such a cultural relic, the difference was indeed very large.

They couldn't help but scratch the back of their heads, and in the end, they still said nothing.

Fang Yang also knew what their general thoughts were; it was probably that the gap in this cultural relic was too large, which was why they were in this state.

If they had had feelings about this before, they definitely did not have such thoughts now.

Fang Yang discovered that they just had a large gap in expectations and didn't have any other intentions, so he didn't say much more, directly closed the box, and handed it to the person from the Cultural Relics Bureau who was closest to him.

After finishing this, Fang Yang continued to explore; he wanted to dig up something better, just enough to wash away everyone's sense of disappointment.

Fang Yang made this decision in his heart, and the path he walked afterward became further and further away.

Then he really felt an extraordinary item.

He stayed where he was and was stunned for a moment.

"Let's go over there and take a look."

Fang Yang pointed to the position on the left.

He felt that there should be something good over there, but he wasn't sure what that thing was.

The others naturally had no objections to Fang Yang's decision.

After hearing him say this, they all nodded.

Fang Yang's gaze swept across the vicinity a few times quickly, and he locked onto a place once again.

This time it was next to a giant rock.

The item was still not very far from the ground, still at a position of about one meter.

At this moment, Fang Yang was almost certain that the items inside were very likely all hidden here by a grave robbing gang from the Republic of China era.

For Fang Yang, this was actually a good thing.

Because this ensured that the cultural relics he was about to unearth were all well-preserved.

At the very least, there was no need to worry about rot or other situations occurring.

When clearing the weeds on the side, the people from the Cultural Relics Bureau took the initiative to hand the tools to Fang Yang again.

But this time, Fang Yang did not do the excavating himself; instead, he let the person from the Cultural Relics Bureau who was closest to him do it.

"If my deduction is not wrong at all, you can start excavating from this place; just use your usual methods."

Fang Yang said earnestly.

After Fang Yang had taken action, the people from the Cultural Relics Bureau hardly dared to do it themselves, but at this moment, Fang Yang had said this.

Although the person who handed the tools to Fang Yang and was closest to him felt a bit uneasy, under the encouraging gazes of the others, he still agreed.

"Then I will start excavating."

At first, he just tested it slightly, and after confirming there were no problems, he increased the excavation intensity.

It was still much slower than Fang Yang, but this excavation action was very smooth compared to his previous actions, and it was also much faster than before.

The person from the Cultural Relics Bureau who was excavating the cultural relic discovered for the first time that work could be so pleasant and so worth looking forward to.

During such an excavation process, when he discovered that he had unearthed the same box as the previous two cultural relics, he knew that he had already unearthed the item.

"It's out!"

His voice was a bit distorted with excitement.

The gazes of the others fell on him, and they nodded in agreement.

"That's right, something has indeed been dug out."

It was just unknown what exactly would be unearthed this time.

【Qing Dynasty Qianlong cyan satin embroidered floral pattern soap boots】

【……】

Once this style appeared, the others knew that this was most likely used by imperial nobles.

Fang Yang also spoke at this time: "These are Emperor Qianlong's high heels; they should be about 10 centimeters or so……"

"Fang Yang, how did you judge that this cultural relic is Emperor Qianlong's?"

The people from the Cultural Relics Bureau were somewhat incredulous when they heard Fang Yang say directly that this was Emperor Qianlong's item.

Although they had already guessed that this was very likely used by nobles, they had no way to say so decisively that it was Emperor Qianlong's.

"Emperor Qianlong was good at everything in his life, but his height was not."

"Historical records have actually recorded all of Qianlong's deeds, but they did not record his height."

"Now, there is Emperor Qianlong's dragon robe in the Forbidden City, and it has been discovered that the formal wear Emperor Qianlong wore to work was actually only 1.44 meters."

"This means that Qianlong's height might only be about 1.5 meters or so, and he didn't even reach 1.6 meters."

"What's very strange is that all the emperors before him were actually quite tall."

"Nurhaci was 1.7 meters, Huang Taiji was 1.75 meters, while the Shunzhi Emperor was 1.7 meters, Kangxi was also 1.7 meters, and Yongzheng was also about 1.7 meters."

"Then how did it get to the point where Qianlong didn't even reach 1.6 meters?"

Fang Yang laughed softly, then continued: "Actually, it's not just Qianlong; the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were actually not very tall after Qianlong."

"Jiaqing was about 1.6 meters, Daoguang was 1.6 meters, while Xianfeng's was 1.65 meters, Tongzhi was 1.6 meters, and the Guangxu Emperor was 1.61 meters."

"……"

The people from the Cultural Relics Bureau did not expect that Fang Yang actually had research on the height of every emperor.

If he hadn't done research, it would be impossible to expose the heights of all the emperors in an instant.

They usually felt that their research was already very good, but now they discovered that their research was not as thorough as Fang Yang's at all.

At this moment, they were all speechless.

Fang Yang, however, was still talking.

"The fact that the emperors after Emperor Qianlong were not tall is actually very much related to their intermarriage among close relatives."

"To be honest, many of the Qing Dynasty concubines were related to the emperor."

"So, mixing like this really easily leads to some problems."

"There is another point, which is that the emperor's concubines were generally very young."

"Almost all of them were under 15 years old, and their bodies were not fully mature."

"Descendants are actually very prone to problems in this regard. Even if they eat well, if problems appear in their genes, and then there are some problems at birth, this greatly affects the body. So Qianlong could only make up for his lack of height with shoes."

"And these soap boots only appeared during the Qing Dynasty."

"As an emperor, this height naturally had to be tall; after all, their majesty had to be maintained."

"If you add such tall soap boots, no matter what, this height could reach 1.7 meters."

"……"

……

——【The 1.44-meter clothes are actually already very long; a robe from shoulder to ankle requires at least a 1.75-meter person to wear it, otherwise they would trip.】

——【Not that much; I have bought Hanfu. I am 164, and a garment length of 143 is just right, so I guess Qianlong was about that height.】

——【If it was clothes from his old age or if he had a hunchback, he would actually be a bit taller, but at most, it probably still wouldn't be 1.7 meters.】

——【A garment length of 144 isn't that long on the body; Manchu clothing has no curves, it's just a tube from top to bottom.】

——【I bought a 1.3-meter long dress, and at 161 height, it dragged on the floor when worn barefoot. I took it to a tailor shop and had it shortened by 10 centimeters; when worn, it covered the instep. The garment length plus the neck and head is about 30 centimeters.】

——【You might be wearing high heels; Qianlong had such high heels, so he was about 155~158.】

——【The previous one bought Hanfu, but he wore Manchu clothing; there should still be a difference between the two.】

——【Assuming Qianlong had a head length of 20 centimeters and a neck of 6 centimeters, and assuming Qianlong's robe was worn to the ankle, then Qianlong's height is estimated to be between 1.73 and 1.75 meters.】

——【Are you trying to laugh me to death? Haha, if you say he is 1.75 meters, it seems normal.】

——【Manchu robes just happen to cover the shoes; these shoes are at least 15 centimeters, so his height is 158.】
