Chapter 1378 - Opening the Gate and Releasing Water
Huo Sining didn't want to explain too much to Su Qingqing, after all, there was no conclusion on this matter, and she didn't want to talk nonsense. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, as for the ancient tomb hidden under this reservoir, Huo Sining now slowly thinks about what she just saw in the water, and always feels that there seem to be a lot of mysteries hidden in it.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Kaiyuan Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, once set his ancestral tomb underwater.
The Ming Ancestral Mausoleum is located on the west bank of Hongze Lake in Jiang Province, and is the actual burial place of the great ancestor, great-grandfather, and grandfather of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and the actual burial place of his grandfather.
This ancient tomb has been hidden in the water for hundreds of years, and this underwater mausoleum still retains its original appearance intact.
However, Zhou Shitao once commented that the location of the Ming Ancestral Mausoleum is actually not ideal.
It is not on the side of the high mountains and Dafu, but in the hilly land known as "nine gangs and eighteen depressions".
It stands to reason that Zhu Yuanzhang had the master Liu Ji in his hands at that time, and he must have known that the location of the Ming ancestral mausoleum was not a perfect 10,000-year-old auspicious land, but Zhu Yuanzhang still buried the ancestral mausoleum in Hongze Lake.
The definition of ancient Kanyushu, the topography and topography of a piece of feng shui treasure land, there is a bright hall in front of the cave, and it is necessary to see the three odds and four responses.
The so-called three odds refer to the mountain, the water, and the case, while the four should be the front, the back, the left, and the right.
There should be sand protection on the left and right, "sand" refers to the things of the hills and rocks; there should be Luocheng, Luocheng is composed of mountains or water, and surrounds each other; there are Chaoshan in the distance, there is a case mountain nearby, and the mountain is Luocheng, forming the left green dragon, the right white tiger, the former Vermilion Bird, and the rear Xuanwu four postures are better; if there is no mountain around, a horse and a flat river, then borrow the water potential to become a dragon (water dragon), and take Zeguo as the upper.
From this, it can be judged that in addition to a water country around the Ming Ancestral Mausoleum, there is not much wonder to speak of.
But the mausoleum in this reservoir in front of you is completely different from the Ming Ancestral Mausoleum, which embraces the mountains and waters, and is a high mountain and a large fu, and even has a court official to be buried with it, this specification is even higher than the Ming Ancestral Mausoleum.
Therefore, Huo Sining inevitably had some guesses in his heart, could this mausoleum be the tomb of an emperor of the Ming Dynasty?
For the owner of this mausoleum, Huo Sining's first guess was Zhu Yuanzhang.
The first capital of the Ming Dynasty was Nanjing, and it was recorded in the history books that after Zhu Yuanzhang died, he was buried directly in a few days, and the specific time of Zhu Yuanzhang's death was also recorded in the history books quite vaguely.
After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, it was his eldest grandson Zhu Yunwen who held a funeral for him, and Zhu Yunwen chose the time of burial, but was criticized by the official history and wild history, "I think it is too fast, and there are people who are not sure about it", which is suspected of covering up people's eyes and ears and deliberately confusing right and wrong.
If, according to the records of historical books such as "The Great Political Records of the Ming Emperor," a dignified founder of the country was buried a few days after his death, is this normal? Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's son Zhu Di was very annoyed when he heard that his nephew had buried his son in a hurry, and this also found the first reason for Zhu Di to usurp the throne and seize power soon after.
As for the time of Zhu Yuanzhang's death, there are different theories in the official history and wild history, some say that it is the ninth day of the fifth month of the leap month in the 31st year of Hongwu, some say that it is the fifth day of the fifth month of the leap month, and some say that it is the seventeenth day of the fifth month of the leap month.
Why is it that the time of death of a dignified and a country-like monarch has not been determined, and so many theories have been circulated? It is said that the death of the emperor should be recorded clearly and clearly by the historians, why should the history books be vaguely written?
Huo Sining felt that this was likely to be an obstacle set up by Zhu Yuanzhang himself for the outside world, using the blindfold method to confuse the world and make it impossible for people to find his tomb, so as to escape the excavation and theft of tomb robbers.
The greatest underground buildings in Chinese history have always come from the imperial tombs.
Since ancient times, the tombs have produced treasures, and countless emperors must have never thought that they would be able to die and enter Elysium with their waists, but who would have thought that they would dig graves in exchange for a hundred years later, and they would not even be able to keep their own corpses.
Zhu Yuanzhang was originally born from the grassroots, he has been a homeless person, a bandit and even a monk, he has experienced the vicissitudes of the people, so it is very likely that he has witnessed tomb robbers digging the tomb of an emperor or a dignitary, so he was vigilant and deliberately set up a maze array after his death, so that people could not figure out his true location.
Although most of the history books speculate that Zhu Yuanzhang's mausoleum is hidden in the Ming Tomb, Huo Sining does not think so.
With the cunning and treacherous of Zhu Yuanzhang, there is no reason why he would so obviously bury himself in a place that may be patronized by tomb thieves at any time, although the mausoleum of the Ming Filial Piety Mausoleum has been carefully designed, using the layout of the Big Dipper "spoon head", "spoon body" and "spoon handle", the entire imperial tomb extends in all directions, and it is complicated, but Huo Sining still feels that the Ming Filial Piety Mausoleum may not be the real place for Zhu Yuanzhang to live.
Because to this day, the experts responsible for surveying the layout of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum have still not been able to find the place where Zhu Yuanzhang was buried, and even the main tomb is located.
A large mausoleum, if there is no tomb robber "coming" must be fake, then it is not impossible that Zhu Yuanzhang's body has been destroyed, but in recent years, archaeologists have found through sophisticated detection technology that the underground layout of the Ming Tomb is intact and there has been no trace, which means that Zhu Yuanzhang himself "hidden", and no one found out where he was hiding.
Of course, whether the underwater cemetery in front of him is Zhu Yuanzhang's, or someone else, these are just Huo Sining's guesses.
When Xie Daoyuan led the large army to the suburbs, Huo Sining told Xie Daoyuan what she knew, and Xie Daoyuan immediately frowned when he learned that there might be a large ancient tomb group hidden under the water.
After several staff members of the Cultural Relics Bureau negotiated with the reservoir contractor, Xie Daoyuan's proposal to release water and empty the reservoir was finally agreed, and soon the water in this large reservoir was opened to drain water.
It took two days for a reservoir to be completely emptied, and soon the ancient tombs sleeping at the bottom of the reservoir were rediscovered.
The archaeological work was carried out carefully, and Huo Sining was assigned as Xie Daoyuan's assistant, plus Su Qingqing, and the two of them participated in the excavation of the ancient tomb together.
In the afternoon of the next day, when the water in the reservoir was completely emptied, all preparations were ready, and the archaeologists were ready to end, Huo Sining unexpectedly received a call from He Chaoying.
Huo Sining felt very strange, since the last time she gambled on the high seas, Huo Sining actually had no contact with the He sisters again, although He Chaoying and Ouyang Jun are now in love, but Huo Sining always felt that people like the He sisters actually had nothing to do with her life, so Huo Sining never thought of having further contact with them.
