1480: Extra, Dragon Boat Festival Ankang [Ask for a monthly ticket]
#夭寿啦, His Majesty's grave has been opened!#
Wei Ci looked dead and silent, and stood at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum with his teeth clenched.
He didn't know what was going on, and in the blink of an eye, it changed from a warm spring March to a July fire.
The unfamiliar environment around him made him tremble, and when he saw the introduction of the emperor's mausoleum scenic spots, he was even more like falling into an ice cellar, angry and sad.
The Jiang Dynasty has been passed down to a total of thirteen emperors, and the mausoleum of Taizu is called "Chenling", which is the only imperial mausoleum that has been open to the public so far.
Wei Ci didn't know what kind of mentality the descendants of later generations were, so he actually allowed the ancestors' tombs to be visited, disturbing the purity of the ancestors, which was really ...... Thinking of this, he didn't know what words to use to express the grief and anger in his heart, so he could only hold the ticket tightly.
He was pushed like a piece of wood, passed the inspection, and entered the first gate of the imperial tomb.
It is said that it is the imperial mausoleum, but it should be arranged but there is no gloomy feeling, but it does not have the luxury that the imperial mausoleum should have, but it seems empty and simple.
There is a long stone corridor leading to the emperor's tomb, and the two walls depict the deeds of Taizu from youth to twilight, and it seems to see her life through this stone corridor. As one of the country's well-known tourist attractions, the Imperial Tomb has a limited number of visitors every day, and tickets are often in short supply. Wei Ci walked a hundred meters with the crowd and saw several tour groups, and the tour guide was introducing the historical deeds represented by the mural to the tourists. Wei Ci pursed his lips and staggered forward, his pale face making him look like a ghost in the emperor's tomb.
He heard a tour guide say, "The mural we see now is the famous 'Taizu's admonition', warning the young emperor of the current world not to make a big funeral, and to replace it with ordinary clay when it is buried, and there shall be no living people, jade, gold, silver, copper, iron and other things to accompany the burial." According to historical records, the most 'extravagant' emperor in the history of the Jiang Dynasty was Jiang Renzong, and the funeral items were only two more gold medals made of pure gold than the ancestors. The upward and downward effects also made the funeral customs after the Jiang Dynasty extremely simple, and at the same time, the mausoleums of this period were also the most reluctant targets for the captains of the Jin, because there was no oil and water at all. ”
The imperial tomb is poor, but the area is not small, and the whole is divided into five parts.
The "stone corridor" that records the emperor's life, the "main tomb" where the emperor's coffin is buried, the "fine house" where the emperor's ink treasure documents are buried, the "courtier's hall" that places the emperor's courtiers' pottery statues, and finally the "outer hall" where the pottery statues of thousands of soldiers are placed.
According to historical records, excluding the current female emperor, the mausoleum structure of the previous twelve emperors is exactly the same.
Opening the "Chenling" is equivalent to seeing the tombs of the other eleven emperors.
Wei Ci followed the crowd through the "stone corridor", and there were many people, but fortunately, this body was tall enough to stand out from the crowd.
He stood in a corner at the end of the stone corridor with red eyes, slowly calming down.
At this time, he heard a young female voice speak his inner voice.
"Shame!"
Although the royal family handed over its authority and changed it to a constitutional monarchy, it was not dead, and it was actually forced to open the ancestral emperor's mausoleum.
Wei Ci turned his head to look at the place where the voice came from, and saw a six or seven-year-old girl with a straight face and a slightly red gaze.
"Do you think it's humiliating too?" asked Wei Ci.
The girl said, "Isn't it?"
Wei Ci saw that the girl was a little kind, and even had an urge to get close.
"There are too many people here, I'll take you somewhere else to stay, waiting for your relatives to come?"
There are too many kidnappers, and this girl is so good-looking, maybe she will be unlucky.
The girl glanced at him, pursed her lips and handed it out.
Wei Ci took her hand and stepped forward, and asked casually, "Why did you say 'shame' just now?"
The girl said indifferently, "Nearly a hundred years ago, the rise of private capital forces instigated the people to force the royal family to change the law, and the influence of the royal family became weaker and weaker. The empress of that generation made a decision and took the initiative to sign a treaty of constitutional monarchy. However, the royal family is a royal family after all, and there are always people who are worried about the restoration of the empress, and they have repeatedly tested the bottom line. The royal family has long since delegated power, and except for a small part of the military power, there is basically no other reliance, so it has to compromise. More than 20 years ago, the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu Chen collapsed, and the outside world hoped to send experts to intervene in the restoration under the pretext of protecting the mausoleum monuments, so as to study the history of that period, and then excessively put forward the unreasonable request to make it an attraction——"
Wei Ci trembled when he heard this, "It's so excessive—then why do you want to delegate power to the constitution?"
"Because ......," the girl pondered for a moment, and said gloomily, "the times are always moving forward, and the royal family can't keep up with the changes." If you stubbornly occupy the power of the royal family and do not let go, you will inevitably confront the entire trend of the times, and one of the two will always have to be sacrificed. The royal family chose to sacrifice its own interests, partly for the sake of the stability of the country as a whole, and on the other hand, in exchange for a more long-term survival. ”
There is no need for bloodshed and sacrifice without change, unless one party takes the initiative to back down and accomplish the change.
Wei Ci listened like a fish in his throat, and he hardly knew how to answer.
"But—" muttered the girl, her expression a little more fierce, "just because the royal family backed down doesn't mean they don't remember the feud." Delegating power does not mean that it is really allowed to be trampled and slaughtered! The revenge of being forced to open the tomb of the ancestors will be counted back sooner or later——"
At the heart of this era is technology.
Compared with this, the royal family has not lost, and sooner or later those capital forces that have risen in the chaos will lose all the bottoms of the eighteen generations of their ancestors!
Ancestors?
A trace of astonishment flashed in Wei Ci's eyes, and before he could think about it, two adult women with excellent temperament stopped the two of them.
"Prince Hui Chang. ”
The girl asked indifferently, "Isn't it okay to come and see the ancestors during the Dragon Boat Festival?"
At this time, Wei Ci found that the girl was holding a string of zongzi in her other hand.
This girl is—
"You ran away without saying a word, and Madame was angry. ”
The girl said, "It's not the first day that she knows that I like to run away from home, at most she will go back and ask for a family meal." ”
The two empresses, who started from the establishment of the constitution, had a very soft and waxy temperament, at least on the surface.
The girl's mother is even more good-natured to the outside, and the devil knows how cruel she is when she gets angry and beats her daughter.
"I'll go put some rice dumplings and come back. ”
On non-special holidays, the main tomb of Emperor Chendi is not open to the public, but the descendants of the royal family can come to worship their ancestors.
Wei Ci found a strange thing, two women who called the girl "Prince Hui Chang" didn't see him.
The girl dragged Wei Ci through the secret passage to the main tomb of the emperor's mausoleum, and the surroundings were empty, except for the lamps installed near the heavenly dome.
There is only one coffin in the main tomb of the emperor's mausoleum, but two corpses are buried inside.
Except for the royal family, no one knows the identity of another male corpse, and some gossip experts have studied various evidences, but unfortunately they didn't guess correctly.
The girl felt inexplicable, the coffin male corpse was also her ancestor, to put it bluntly, it was her family affair, and outsiders studied it.
Wei Ci saw the girl put the two zongzi on the plate and respectfully performed the family salute.
She said, "It's the first time I've seen the apparition of my ancestors, and the portraits left by my predecessors are quite realistic, otherwise I wouldn't really be able to recognize them." ”
Wei Ci: "......"
This kid is a bit of a sniffle.
"I'll ...... Look at her. ”
"What about after reading it?"
"It's time for me to go back to accompany her, without her, I feel lonely for a while. ”
