Chapter 266: The Most Daring Tomb Robber in History
Sun Zhongyuan still had a little impression that Chen Danyang didn't know anything, so he couldn't help but get closer. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The tour guide said that this tomb robber was an official, which is true, but to be exact, he was a eunuch. The Imperial Horse Eunuch is the Imperial Eunuch, similar to Bi Ma Wen.
In the Ming Dynasty, those who entered the palace as eunuchs had no good background, and they basically couldn't live happily. So much so that people like Wang Zhen are called Mr. Wang.
This tomb robber, named Chen Feng, was originally a scoundrel in the market, and later entered the palace as a eunuch.
The market scoundrel has the "strengths" of the market scoundrel, and they are all more good at mixing, Wei Zhongxian was also a market scoundrel before, and later mixed up to "nine thousand years old".
Chen Feng is also very good at mixing, although he did not mix into the highest position of eunuch, nor did he mix into the celebrant eunuch, but the imperial horse eunuch is also a relatively important department.
Moreover, Emperor Wanli also gave him an errand and sent him to Huguang to collect taxes, and at the same time, he was also responsible for supervising the Dansha mine and the money factory. The name is the Mining Tax Envoy.
This errand is so fat! Collecting taxes, mining mines, minting money, anything can be eaten with a mouth full of oil.
It can be seen that Emperor Wanli likes this Chen Feng very much. However, then again, letting a eunuch do these things, Wanli, the emperor, is really not very good.
Wanli was the emperor in the capital, and Chen Feng was the emperor in Huguang.
There is a word called "doing no evil", and when it is used to describe someone, it is often excessive. But when used on this Chen Feng, it is a bit of a grievance.
Look at which local official is not pleasing to the eye, it is often a whip, and the merchants and pedestrians who pass by will arrange for someone to rob them when they see money.
The eunuch is not a normal person, but to what extent is Chen Feng perverted? For fun, he once cut open the belly of a pregnant woman, took out a full-term baby, and then drowned!
He was a mining tax envoy sent by the emperor, who inherited the emperor's orders and held great power. Chen Feng's atrocities once caused a popular uprising, and some people played it, but the Wanli Emperor ignored it.
Before Zhang Juzheng's death, Wanli, the emperor, was actually like a puppet, and after Zhang Juzheng's death, he was really in power. He favors eunuchs, and the foundation is here.
Of course, the tour guide can't talk about it in such detail, but just says that he does all kinds of evil. At the same time, the point is that he loves money to the limit, and it is not enough to have a normal channel to collect money, so he began to rob tombs.
At first, he didn't think of robbing the tomb, just because once, he received a secret report from his subordinates, saying that several tomb robbers dug up the tomb of Li Linfu's original wife in the Tang Dynasty and got ten thousand taels of gold and a large number of jewels.
When Chen Feng heard this, he immediately sent someone to rob these tomb robbers, and the gold and jewelry became his.
This matter was known to Emperor Wanli, who just asked Chen Feng to hand over all the gold and jewelry, and did not say anything else.
There is no one else in this emperor's position. This is a tomb robbery, don't you have a tacit approval?
From then on, Chen Feng was out of control, organized a team, searched for tombs everywhere in Huguang, no matter how big or small, and dug up to get money. At the same time, with the lesson of the first confiscated property, he will take out part of the money obtained from the tomb robbery.
In this way, Emperor Wanli did not object, even if many ministers played, they ignored it.
In the end, this Chen Feng couldn't find a mausoleum in Huguang, and he dared to target the Xianling Mausoleum!
Obviously, Ling used to enter the water, but this time it was Chen Feng's brain that was in the water.
I've seen the bold, but I've never seen the bold to die.
Stealing and digging other mausoleums, Wanli can collect money while opening his eyes and closing his eyes, but he actually started the idea of the imperial mausoleum of this dynasty!
Obviously buried in the mausoleum, that is the great-grandfather of Emperor Wanli!
Chen Feng's brain was in water, but he hadn't completely mixed his brain into a paste. It was true that he had his eyes on Xianling, but he also thought of coming secretly.
But obviously the goal is too big, and it is not easy to come secretly.
In the end, he discussed a way with his henchmen, in the name of mining, to go to the vicinity of Xianling, open mines, and secretly rob tombs!
Even if it was mining near the mausoleum area, this matter was also obstructed by many local officials, Chen Feng ignored 3721, directly used force, took down the opponents, and at the same time wrote to the Wanli Emperor, arranging a lot of charges.
Poor Emperor Wanli, the ancestral grave is about to be dug up, and he is still in the dark.
Among them, an official who was quite popular with the local people was also imprisoned, and Chen Feng had been doing mischief in the local area for a long time, which had already caused a popular uprising.
Chen Bong got the news and slipped away. However, more than a dozen of his right-hand men were caught and bundled by the common people and thrown directly into the river to feed the fish.
After this incident, Chen Feng actually mobilized the army and continued to open (steal) mines (tombs). With the suppression of the army, the common people are also powerless.
This time, the tomb was completely ransacked.
Chen Feng has robbed many tombs, but how can those be compared with the imperial tombs? This time, he opened the imperial tombs, and he really became a fat man in one bite.
Needless to say, no matter how ridiculous Emperor Wanli is, he can't tolerate his great-grandfather's grave being dug up?
Chen Feng was tortured to death in the end.
This man, who knows how to take advantage of the situation, is also very good at mixing, ruthless, shameless, and has honorably taken the crown of the most daring tomb robber in history.
But this IQ is really not enough balance!
The female tour guide actually just told a synopsis, but it helped Sun Zhongyuan remember some details in the history of the Ming Dynasty that he had seen before.
"It turns out that the royal qi you mentioned is lacking because the Xianling Tomb was opened during the Wanli period!" Sun Zhongyuan said to Chen Danyang.
Chen Danyang nodded, "The problem should be here." It seems that the catastrophic flood at the source of the Jingjiang River during the Wanli period was also caused by the lack of royal qi caused by the opening of the imperial tomb!"
"Could it be that there is a problem with the feng shui setting here, is it also because of this?" Sun Zhongyuan asked again.
"I think that's it. Obviously, Ling conforms to the original feng shui setting, or has been perfectly integrated. However, as soon as the mausoleum was opened, the king's qi was deficient, and it was obvious that the feng shui of the mausoleum was broken, which led to problems with the feng shui settings in the Qin and Han dynasties!" Chen Danyang responded.
"In this way, it seems that the slow reversal of the earth's qi here has started in the Ming Dynasty. In terms of process, it is not much different from our previous inference, but the reason is not correct. ”
"Hmm!" Chen Danyang put away the compass, "Now it's completely clear." However, the problem here can no longer be solved. And the backlash of barberry's earthly qi may only be left with the question of the length of time, and the same quantitative change will cause qualitative change, and it may suddenly erupt. ”
"It's about the common people's ・・・・・・," Sun Zhongyuan muttered, "If Barberry's earth qi backlash can't be changed, that powerful force will get rid of the ban, will it cause a situation where lives will be ruined?"
