Chapter 1931
After a moment of silence, Prince William suddenly said solemnly:
"Steven, Bishop of Kent, gentlemen, whether this dark gray stone is the Stone of Destiny or not, I hope everyone will keep it strictly confidential and not disclose any news about this stone.
Once the news of the existence of this stone is leaked, it will definitely cause a huge sensation in the British Isles, and it will even be used by some people with ulterior motives to confuse people and stir up trouble! "
Hearing this, everyone's expressions couldn't help changing, and then they all nodded slightly.
There are no idiots here, all of them are human beings, and everyone immediately thought of who those guys with ulterior motives that Prince William said were.
Those guys are nothing more than two kinds of people, the guys who are engaged in the independence movement in Northern Ireland, and some people who are dissatisfied with the British royal family.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will tell all my employees not to leak any news about this Stone of Destiny, and I don't plan to keep this hot potato, I will transfer it out as soon as possible."
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, giving Prince William a reassurance.
In fact, he did not move this Stone of Destiny to the ground for a public display before, because of this consideration, so as not to cause some unnecessary troubles.
If the Stone of Destiny belonged to England since ancient times, then naturally these problems would not exist.
But alas, this famous stone belonged first to Ireland, then to Scotland, and finally to England.
Once this news is leaked, let those guys in Northern Ireland know, there is no doubt that those guys who hate the British immortal will definitely be crazy about it!
As for those who are dissatisfied with the British royal family, they can also use this stone of fate to question the legitimacy of the divine right of kings.
"Great, Steven, thank you very much for your understanding. When I leave here, I will rush to Buckingham Palace as soon as possible to report the news of this Stone of Destiny, and propose to take it back as soon as possible."
Prince William nodded hurriedly and said, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes.
And this is exactly what Ye Tian wants to see the most.
It’s time to kill the British again. Gu Kaizhi’s Tang Dynasty copy of "The Admonitions of the Female History" and the tens of thousands of scrolls and scriptures in the Dunhuang Sutra Cave, Lao Tzu is bound to get it!
If you don't agree to the conditions set out by Lao Tzu, you Brits are going to burn out and go to Northern Ireland to put out the fire!
Ye Tian nodded slightly, as a response to Prince William.
Immediately afterwards, the British Minister of Culture couldn't wait to say:
"Steven, you are the world's top expert in the appraisal of antique works of art. Please help me identify the authenticity of this Stone of Destiny. Are there two Stones of Destiny in this world?"
After finishing speaking, the British guy looked at Ye Tian expectantly, as did Prince William and everyone else at the scene, all looking at Ye Tian, waiting for him to give an accurate appraisal conclusion.
Of course, Ye Tian would not refuse this proposal.
He nodded slightly, then squatted down, and seriously began to study the dark gray stone on the ground.
After about five or six minutes, he finished the appraisal, then stood up and looked at the crowd.
"Gentlemen, as far as I can tell, the line carved in old Irish on this dark gray stone, 'The Stone of Destiny',
It should be engraved around AD, which can be determined through corresponding technological means.
In other words, this Stone of Destiny is real, it is the coronation stone of Tara in Irish myths and legends, but it is not known whether it was brought to Ireland by the Danu Protoss.”
Before the words fell, the scene was already fried, and the exclamation rang out.
"What? This is the real Stone of Destiny, am I right? What about the fragmented Stone of Destiny in Edinburgh? Could it be a fake?"
"Stop joking, Steven. In the past seven hundred years, British kings have been crowned on the Stone of Destiny. Could it be that they all sat on a fake Stone of Destiny? This is a big joke!"
Almost everyone at the scene was holding their heads and exclaiming, their eyes were filled with disbelief and madness, everyone was shocked by Ye Tian's words just now!
In the midst of these exclamations, Prince William's face was as pale as paper, his eyes were full of panic, and his body was even trembling slightly.
Prince William did not doubt Ye Tian's appraisal conclusion.
He also knew that it was absolutely impossible for Ye Tian to be misjudged, let alone talk nonsense, especially on such an important matter.
But when he thought that the Stone of Destiny, which was once placed under the throne of St. Edward and on which all British kings sat and crowned for more than 700 years, was actually a fake, Prince William felt like being struck by a thunderbolt from the blue sky!
Once this matter is confirmed and the news is leaked out, what kind of situation will happen, I can't imagine it!
Just when Prince William was in mourning and the others were stunned, Ye Tianqing's clear voice came out again and reached the ears of everyone present.
"This Stone of Destiny is real. It is the coronation stone of Tara in Irish mythology. It is basically certain, but it does not mean that the Stone of Destiny that was placed under the throne of St. Edward is fake.
Everyone may wish to imagine whether there is such a possibility. There are two Stones of Destiny in history, one is the coronation stone of Tara in Irish mythology, and the other is the Scone Stone in Scottish legend.
According to the different ages of the two Stones of Destiny, we might as well speculate boldly that the Scone Stone is a replica of the "Tara's Coronation Stone", which was specially created by the kings of Scotland to demonstrate the divine right of kings!
Perhaps the Scottish kings not only copied the Coronation Stone of Tara, but also created a whole set of myths and legends, such as all the stories about the Stone of Destiny from Ireland to Scotland, and then spread it wildly.
I haven't seen the Stone of Destiny that was once stored in Westminster Abbey, so it's hard to draw conclusions, but I believe that the details of these two Stones of Destiny must be different, and they cannot be exactly the same! "
Before he finished speaking, Prince William suddenly waved his arm and suddenly realized:
"Steven, if you don't tell me, I really didn't expect that there are indeed some subtle differences between the two Stones of Destiny. The Stone of Destiny that was once stored in Westminster Abbey seems to be slightly larger than this one.
From the perspective of momentum, that one is also more imposing, and the engravings on that Stone of Destiny are clearer than the engravings on this Stone of Destiny, while this one looks a little more simple."
When he said these words, the expression on Prince William's face was much better, and he smiled again.
No matter which of these two Stones of Destiny is real and who is fake, they must be real now! One is the coronation stone of Tara in Irish mythology, and the other is the Scone stone in Scottish legend.
Moreover, these two Stones of Destiny have the same function, and both symbolize the divine right of kings, there is no doubt about it!
Ye Tian glanced at Prince William and the British Minister of Culture who heaved a sigh of relief, then smiled and said:
"That's right, if my speculation is true, many mysteries in history will be solved, such as the problem of anachronism, such as the problem that the Stone of Destiny will be in Ireland and Scotland for a while.
It is basically certain that at a certain period in history, these two Stones of Destiny existed in the British Isles at the same time, located in Scotland and Ireland respectively, and both played the role of symbolizing the divine right of the monarch.
It wasn't until sometime in the Middle Ages that Ireland, the Stone of Destiny, suddenly disappeared and has never been seen since. Not long after, King Edward I conquered Scotland, and the Scone Stone fell into his hands.
Speaking of this, we might as well speculate again. When Ireland was invaded by England in 1169, the Stone of Destiny in Ireland fell into the hands of the Irish branch of the Knights Templar and was secretly stored by them.
In this way, the leader of the Irish branch of the Knights Templar, the famous Templar "Bachelor" Walter, was starved to death in the confessional cell, and it can also be explained. He may be the knight who guards Ireland's Stone of Destiny.
The "Bachelor" Walter may not have starved to death in the confessional cell, but had been guarding the Irish Stone of Destiny hidden in the secret vault of the London branch until his death, but he did not expect that the Knights Templar would be wiped out.
Of course, there is another possibility that both Stones of Destiny fell into the hands of Edward I, but the Stone of Destiny in Ireland was pledged by him to the Knights Templar, just like his golden crown! "
Everyone at the scene was completely dumbfounded, and they all stared at Ye Tian dumbfounded, their eyes full of disbelief.
This story is so wonderfully written, but why does it sound so reasonable? Everything seems to happen right in front of everyone's eyes, clearly visible!
