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 can keep it strictly confidential and not leak any information 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! ”
After hearing this, everyone's expressions couldn't help but change, and then they all nodded slightly.
There are no idiots here, everyone is a smart person. Everyone immediately thought of those guys with ulterior motives that Prince William said.
Those guys are nothing more than two types of people, those who are engaged in the independence movement in Northern Ireland, and those who are dissatisfied with the British royal family.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will instruct all my employees not to leak any information about this stone of destiny. Moreover, I do not intend to keep this hot potato and will transfer it as soon as possible."
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, giving Prince William a reassurance.
In fact, he did not move the Stone of Destiny to the ground and display it publicly before, just out of this consideration, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
If the Stone of Destiny had belonged to England since ancient times, then these problems would naturally not exist.
But unfortunately, this famous stone originally belonged to Ireland, then Scotland, and finally England.
Once this news is leaked and let those guys in Northern Ireland know, there is no doubt that those guys who hate the British to death will definitely go crazy for it!
As for those who are dissatisfied with the British royal family, they can also use this stone of destiny to question the legitimacy of the divine right of kings.
"Great, Steven, thank you very much for your understanding. As soon as I leave here, I will rush to Buckingham Palace to report the news about this stone of destiny and propose to take it back as soon as possible"
Prince William nodded hurriedly and said, with a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes.
And this is the result that Ye Tian wants to see most.
I can kill the British again. I am bound to get the Tang Dynasty copy of Gu Kaizhi's "Proverbs of Women's History" and the tens of thousands of paintings and scriptures in the Dunhuang Scripture Cave!
If you don’t agree to the conditions I propose, you British guys are going to be miserable and go to Northern Ireland to put out the fire!
Ye Tian nodded slightly, responding to Prince William.
Immediately afterwards, the British Minister of Culture couldn’t wait to say:
"Steven, you are the world's top antique art appraisal expert. Please help identify the authenticity of this Stone of Destiny. Are there two Stones of Destiny in the world?"
After saying that, the British guy looked at Ye Tian expectantly. Prince William and everyone else at the scene also looked at Ye Tian, waiting for him to give an accurate identification conclusion.
Of course Ye Tian would not refuse this proposal.
He nodded slightly, then squatted down and began to study the dark gray stone on the ground in a serious manner.
About five or six minutes later, he finished the appraisal, then stood up and looked at everyone present.
"Gentlemen, according to my appraisal, the line of ancient Irish text, 'Stone of Destiny', engraved on this dark gray stone should be engraved around BC. This can be determined through corresponding scientific and technological means.
In other words, this Stone of Destiny is real. It is the coronation stone of Tara in Irish mythology, but it is unknown whether it was brought to Ireland by the Danu Gods."
Before he finished speaking, the scene was already abuzz with exclamations.
"What? This is the real Stone of Destiny, did I hear it correctly? What about the fragmented Stone of Destiny in Edinburgh? Is it a fake?"
"Stop joking, Steven. Over the past seven hundred years, successive British kings have sat on the Stone of Destiny for their coronation. Are they all sitting 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 full of disbelief and madness. Everyone was frightened by Ye Tiangang’s words!
Amidst the exclamations, Prince William's face turned as pale as paper, his eyes were filled with panic, and his body was even trembling slightly.
Prince William did not doubt the identification conclusion given by Ye Tian.
He also knew that Ye Tian would never make a mistake or make nonsense, especially on such an important matter.
But when he thought that the Stone of Destiny, which had been placed under St. Edward's throne and on which all British kings had been crowned for more than seven hundred years, was actually fake, Prince William felt like he had been struck by a bolt from the blue!
Once this matter is confirmed and the news is leaked, what kind of situation will happen is beyond imagination!
Just when Prince William was mourning and the others were dumbfounded, Ye Tian'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 once placed under the throne of St. Edward is fake. .
You might as well imagine whether this is possible. 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.
Based on the different dates of appearance of the two Stones of Destiny, we might as well make a bold guess that the Scone Stone is a replica of the 'Coronation Stone of Tara', specially crafted by the Scottish kings to demonstrate the divine right of kings!
Maybe 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 traveling from Ireland to Scotland, and then spread it widely.
I have never seen the Stone of Destiny that was once stored in Westminster Abbey, so I can’t draw a conclusion, but I believe that the two Stones of Destiny must be different in details and cannot be exactly the same. ! ”
Before he finished speaking, Prince William suddenly waved his arm and suddenly realized:
"Stephen, if you didn't tell me, I really wouldn't have thought that the two Stones of Destiny are indeed slightly different. The Stone of Destiny that was once stored in Westminster Abbey seems to be slightly different than this one. Bigger.
From the perspective of momentum, that one is more imposing, and the carvings on that Stone of Destiny are clearer than the carvings on this Stone of Destiny, while this one looks a little more primitive."
When he said these words, the expression on Prince William's face had become much better, and his smile bloomed again.
No matter which of these two stones of destiny is real or 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.
And these two stones of destiny have the same function, and both symbolize the divine right of kings. There is no doubt about this!
Ye Tian glanced at Prince William and the British Minister of Culture who breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a smile:
"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 of the Stone of Destiny being in Ireland for a while and Scotland for a while.
It is basically certain that at a specific period in history, these two stones of destiny existed in the British Isles at the same time, in Scotland and Ireland respectively, and both played a role in symbolizing the divine right of kings.
It wasn't until a certain period in the Middle Ages that Ireland's stone of destiny suddenly disappeared and was never seen again. Not long after, King Edward I conquered Scotland, and the Scone Stone fell into his hands.
Having said this, we might as well make some further speculations. When Ireland was invaded by England in 1169, Ireland's Stone of Destiny fell into the hands of the Irish branch of the Knights Templar and was secretly kept by them.
In this way, it can be explained that the famous Templar "Bachelor" Walter, the leader of the Irish branch of the Knights Templar, starved to death in the confessional cell. He may be the guardian of Ireland's stone of destiny. knight.
'Bachelor' Walter may not have starved to death in the confessional cell, but guarded 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 exterminate.
Of course, there is another possibility. Both Stones of Destiny fell into the hands of Edward I, but the Stone of Destiny of Ireland was pledged to the Knights Templar by him, just like his golden crown! ”
Everyone at the scene was completely dumbfounded. They all looked at Ye Tian with their mouths open and their eyes filled with disbelief.
This story is so wonderfully written, but it sounds so reasonable. Everything seems to be happening right in front of everyone's eyes, clearly visible!
