Chapter 224: The Biography of Ancient and Modern Martyrs

Some people do not have complete statistics, saying that when the Forbidden City was built, more than 80 million bricks were used. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Therefore, don't think that there are gold bricks everywhere in the palace, this kind of square bricks that look as smooth as ink jade and are not slippery or astringent when stepped on are not found everywhere in the Forbidden City.

In fact, the Forbidden City is only in the three major conference rooms, the Taihe Palace, the Zhonghe Palace, and the Baohe Hall are paved with "gold bricks", focusing on the three routes of the east, the middle and the west.

These large square bricks still have the names of Ming Yongle, Zhengde, Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, and the words "Su @ Prefecture Governor" and other seals.

If there were people in the Eight-Nation Coalition who really understood Chinese culture, believing that these bricks, which were worth more than gold, would not have remained on Chinese soil.

So when he saw the ancient tomb built with gold bricks, Mo Ye couldn't help but think of the song "On the Golden Mountain of the Capital", knew how this song came about, and also knew where the "Golden Mountain" was!

Originally, I wanted to pick up the car and leave, but now I definitely can't go, so Mo Xie also stayed for dinner and stayed for one night by the way.

"It's all sold, it's definitely not going to work, if it's used to pave the ground with gold bricks, it's too much." Looking at that ancient tomb, Mo Ye was a little worried, what should I do with these gold bricks?

How can it cost thousands of bricks to build this ancient tomb, so many, what should be done?

In the dead of night, Mo Ye walked out of the courtyard and came to a corner in the middle of the alley.

There is a lot of garbage piled up here, it looks like a door panel or something, and I don't know who renovated the house to replace it, and it is not used and disposed of, so it is piled up here.

If it was on the street outside, it might have been taken away by the chengguan long ago, but here, I don't know how many years it has been piled up, which is the disadvantage of the old alley.

After burrowing into a door panel, Mo Ye immediately saw the secret door on the wall.

Of course, it can't be said to be a secret door, this must be visible to anyone, but the air-raid shelter has not been used for many years, and this entrance has been sealed, and I don't know how those boys found it.

The entrance here was dug open by those bear children, and at this time it was only covered with bricks, and Mo Xie pushed it open.

A few bits and pieces of bricks fell into the passage with a dull sound.

took out the headlamp and put it on his head, and Mo Ye got into the passage.

Entering the passage, there is a downward staircase, where Mo Xie has already scanned it clearly, knowing that there is a passage that extends in all directions.

Since those boys had already gone in, Mo Ye was not afraid that there would be no oxygen inside.

Through a long passage, we came to another place, where there was a secret door that led further down.

I don't know how long those boys have been in the tunnel, anyway, they touched the door clearly, otherwise it would not have been possible to discover this hidden little door.

Going around and around, Mo Ye kept walking down, and it was not until he was forty or fifty meters deep underground that Mo Ye stopped.

The passage is a cul-de-sac, untrimmed inside, littered with rubble, and that mausoleum is at the end of this passage.

Soon found the tomb wall made of gold bricks, Mo Xie looked at the traces on it and frowned.

The tomb wall was badly damaged, with potholes everywhere and a large hole in some places.

With a touch of his hand, Mo Xie wiped off a lot of dust, and at this time, a square brick appeared under the light.

This brick is much larger than the one obtained earlier, almost twice as wide, which should be the largest type of gold brick, and it can also be proved that these gold bricks should have been fired when Yongle built the capital.

Sure enough, the inscription on the gold brick shows that it was the eighth year of Yongle, and the capital at that time had already been built, right? That's why these unused gold bricks came here?

However, considering the cost of gold bricks, such a thing should not be easy to happen, but there are so many gold bricks buried here.

Looking at the damaged tomb wall, this passage should also be the civil air defense project excavated back then, however, when digging here, I encountered this tomb wall, because it was not easy to dig, or for other reasons, the work was stopped, so the tomb room separated by a wall was not found.

Through this dilapidated tomb wall, Mo Xie found that there should still be a Vajra Wall outside, and the Vajra Wall should be more difficult to destroy.

However, they had just demolished the King Kong Wall, but they encountered the gold brick wall again, and these gold brick tomb walls were tightly fitted and there were no gaps at all, so it was even more difficult to excavate.

When they finally opened a gap, they stopped working, so that the bear children could pick up a gold brick here.

While demolishing the tomb wall and collecting gold bricks, Mo Xie also roughly deduced what was going on here.

If the people who excavated the civil air defense project back then, maybe persevered a little, they would have found a burial chamber.

Of course, if those people really found the tomb, there would be nothing wrong with Mo Ye at this time, and the gold bricks here would also disappear without a trace, not to be collected, but to be destroyed.

Back then, Wanli's bones were taken out and fed to the dogs, not to mention these bricks, so this ancient tomb is lucky, and Mo Xie is also lucky.

The remaining gold bricks here are of various specifications, but they all have a common feature, that is, they are relatively large, so those bear children chose the smallest gold brick.

Of course, they definitely didn't take it out on purpose, Mo Ye thought that they must be scared, so they would bring a brick to defend themselves, otherwise, they wouldn't have thrown it out casually, and they really used it as an artifact.

These bricks are not light, but for Mo Ye, they have no effect at all, and hundreds of gold bricks on a wall were quickly cleaned up by Mo Ye.

And at this time, more gold bricks were exposed, and from here forward, up and down, left and right were all paved with gold bricks.

Seeing this situation, Mo Xie smiled directly, the gold bricks here are all a kind of two-foot square bricks.

Such square bricks have not been circulated in the outside world at all, because since the Forbidden City was first built, this kind of gold bricks made of special craftsmanship has always been a special product of the Forbidden City.

In the important palaces of the Forbidden City, such bricks are laid, and the golden bricks of the Taihe Hall that you see now are laid during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and they are still as bright as new.

In the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City, a total of 4,718 gold bricks were laid, and Mo Ye found how many gold bricks were found underground?

Just by demolishing the four walls, more than 1,000 pieces were obtained, plus the vault of the tomb and the ground, all of which added up to more than 2,000 pieces, which is the amount of half of the Taihe Palace!

Demolishing the tomb wall outside, Mo Ye looked at the tomb.

If it weren't for the gold bricks, the burial chamber would be too chilling, because its size was so small, there was only one main burial pit, and nothing else.

"Only coffins? Don't even have a coffin? "Although he has not dug up the ancient tombs, Mo Xie has not studied the ancient tombs less, so he still knows a little about the specifications of the ancient tombs.

Looking at the black coffin, this is an ordinary willow coffin, which was very ordinary in ancient times, and it didn't look like it was used by princes or officials at all.

After touching the smooth coffin and wiping off the dust on it, the coffin was still as smooth as a mirror.

"Ancient lacquer is good." Looking at the dark and translucent lacquer surface, Mo Ye sighed.

This kind of coffin brushed out layer by layer with lacquer will not rot for hundreds of years, so don't think that modern people are technologically advanced, and in some aspects, they are really inferior to the ancients.

The air here is dry, and the lacquer is embalmed, so this coffin is very well preserved.

I moved it hard, and found that the coffin was still relatively heavy, and the lid was very concealed, and there was no gap at all.

After scanning it a few times, no trace of a nail was found, Mo Xie frowned, how did this cover it?

After studying it carefully for a while, Mo Xie found that there was actually a push-pull groove.

Mo Xie pushed the lid of the coffin on it vigorously, and sure enough, the lid of the coffin swiped upward.

The gap was exposed, and as soon as Mo Ye lifted it, the coffin lid was lifted to the side.

"Huh?" Looking at the contents of the coffin, Mo Xie opened his mouth wide in surprise, he thought that he would see the dry bones in the coffin, but he didn't expect it to be some books.

Mo Xie didn't do it directly, but used the super biological detector to scan the books inside, these are all ancient books, it would be a pity if they were broken.

"White Cloud Manuscript? "Dongshan Collection"? "Taiping Song", "Ding Chou Fengshi", "Wen Yi Collection", "Spring Rain Miscellaneous", "Tianhuang Jade"? "Go to Guangxi Nephew Peng Yunlu", "Traveling to the Seven Star Rock Puppet", "Lushan Song", "Tengxian Instant Affairs", "Doujiazhai", "Sang"? These are poems? ”

Looking at these books, Mo Ye had never heard of them at all.

However, looking at the handwriting, it should be the handwriting of the same person, so to speak, these writings belong to the same person.

No matter who this person is, a person who can write so many articles and poems should not be unknown.

"The Legend of Ancient and Modern Martyrs? This one is famous! "I finally saw a familiar book.

Mo Ye immediately searched for the information of this book, the biography of ancient and modern martyrs with a history of 640 years, who did it come from?

Soon, Mo Xie locked up a person, Xie Jin!

Because he was responsible for the revision and editing of this book, the earliest biography of ancient and modern martyrs can only be written by him.

And by searching other ancient books, Mo Ye also determined this, most of those poems are Xie Jin's works.

"Xie Jin!" Mo Xie opened his mouth wide, and he immediately scanned the books below, but he was soon disappointed that there was no set of books in it that he hoped to see.

Who is Xie Jin? In the twenty-first year of Hongwu (1388), the great god was a scholar in the middle of the court, and he was the first assistant to the cabinet and a scholar of the Right Chunfang University, and participated in confidential affairs.

Because of his high learning and outspokenness, he was jealous and repeatedly deposed, and finally went to prison with "no courtesy".

In the thirteenth year of Yongle (1415), Xie Jin was buried in a snowdrift and froze to death at the age of forty-seven.

There are a lot of books in the coffin, but the only thing that is not there is a book related to the "Yongle Canon", why mention the "Yongle Canon"?
