"It seems that someone has already gone to Qianling to rob the tomb, so we must hurry up and set off without further ado," An Xiangfei said. And of course, I understand our worries about getting Wing Yi and An Xiang Fei Mu Xiu. So I agreed.

The next day, after settling down with Lu Hang and the matter of this wrench, the three of us went straight to Qianling again. After several hours of bumps, we arrived at the foot of the Qianling, because it is the imperial tomb, so the cultural relics department is particularly well protected, and now it is a scenic spot, so there are guards standing guard everywhere, so the three of us have to follow the tourists to visit this Qianling.

Located in the hinterland of the Qinchuan River in 800 miles, the Weibei Mountains of Shaanxi Province contain the beautiful mountains and rivers created by nature. In this group of beautiful and majestic cone-shaped peaks, there are dozens of mountain tombs of the emperors of the Han and Tang dynasties in China, forming a magnificent scenery for the 300-mile Weibei Mountain Plain. Among them, in the north of Qianxian County, Shaanxi Province, Liangshan is famous at home and abroad for burying a powerful woman in Chinese history, and the mausoleums of other emperors in the Tang Dynasty and the Qianling Tombs are arranged in a fan shape around the Beijing Master Chang'an, and when you walk into this Qianling Tomb, you don't know why you look at the buildings of these mausoleums in front of you, and you can't help but sigh at the wisdom of the ancients.

Drive from the ancient capital of Xi'an, when you enter the territory of Qianxian County along the national highway westward for dozens of kilometers, in the northwest direction of the polar eye, you will see the vast smoke clouds set off three tall and steep peaks, showing the trend of high in the north and low in the south, towering under the vast firmament, looking from afar is like a young woman after a new bath with long hair, head north and foot south, lying on her back under the blue sky and white clouds, this is Liangshan, it is the burial place of the only female emperor Wu Zetian and her husband Tang Gaozong Li Zhi in Chinese history who is called "the crown of the emperors of all dynasties" and "sleeping beauty" - Qianling.

Qianling was originally the mausoleum of Li Zhi of Tang Gaozong, and the mausoleum was called Qianling. In fact, it is a joint tomb of an emperor and a queen. Since Guo Moruo, modern people believe that this is the joint burial tomb of the two emperors, but this does not conform to the view of the ancient (including the Tang people). Because after the Shenlong coup, Wu Zetian was forced to return the Tang Dynasty to the Li royal family. In order to have a place to live after death, Wu Zetian himself announced the abolition of his imperial title and asked her son (Tang Zhongzong Li Xian) to bury himself in the Qianling Mausoleum of Tang Gaozong as the empress of Tang Gaozong. Tang Zhongzong agreed to his mother's request. Therefore, in terms of the ritual system, the Qianling Tomb still belongs to the joint burial tomb of an emperor and a queen.

Since ancient times, Qianling has been regarded as the mausoleum of Tang Gaozong in the history books, like other emperors and queens, and Wu Zetian is the queen who is buried in it. After the liberation, because Guo Moruo admired Wu Zetian very much, he took the lead in calling the tomb of Tang Gaozong as the joint burial tomb of the two emperors. In addition, in order to promote tourism in modern times, some propaganda that ignores historical facts and calls the Qianling Tomb Wuzetianling. What's more, to discuss why Wu Zetian called his mausoleum "Qianling", he didn't know that Qianling itself was a joint tomb of Tang Gaozong and the empress.

And this Liangshan is a place of scenic spot since Zhou and Qin. In history, King Taiwang of Zhou (Gu Gong's father) crossed Liangshan and carried Hongji, Qin Shi Huang built a palace Liangshan and Yuyidi, Han Zhangqian crossed Liangshan and passed through the Western Regions, and the "Silk Road" of the Tang Dynasty passed through this mountain. The elevation of the main peak of Liangshan is 1,0047.9 meters, the mountain stone Cui Wei, the terrain is precipitous, it is the throat of the east-west traffic, it is the place where the ancient soldiers must fight. Climb to the top of Liangshan Mountain, look east at Jiuzhi (the location of the Zhaoling Tomb of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty), the mountain is abrupt, and the lonely tower refuses; Looking south at Taibai Mountain and ending in South Mountain, covered with snow; Looking at Wufeng Mountain in the north, it reflects each other in the distance; It is connected to Cuiping (mountain) in the west, and the mountains are stacked on top of each other. Liangshan at the foot, the three peaks are special, the main peak is high and moist, the swill river surrounds its east, the desert water surrounds its west, the whole foothill is verdant, the ancient cypress towers to the sky, the environment is elegant and solemn. According to Kanyujia (Mr. Feng Shui), Liangshan is in favor of the heroine. Therefore, Wu Zetian, the empress who represented Tang as Zhou, chose Liangshan as her husband Tang Gaozong and her own "longevity domain" a hundred years later

And there is such a folk legend about how to choose the site at the beginning, the legend: soon after Tang Gaozong ascended the throne, he sent his uncle Changsun Wuji and Taishi Ling Li Chunfeng, who was in charge of the astronomical calendar, to choose a place for his mausoleum. One day, the two looked at Liangshan Mountain, only to see the three peaks of this mountain, Gaoson, and the main peak went straight into the sky. The east is separated by Wushui and Jiuzhi Mountain, and the west is connected with Loujing Mountain and Qishan Mountain. The two waters of Wu and Qi hug each other in front of the mountain, forming a water wall and encircling the dragon qi in the ground. Liangshan is a rare piece of "dragon vein holy land" in the world. After the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Chunfeng chose the site of the mausoleum, they returned to Beijing to report to Gaozong. When Yuan Tiangang heard about it, he strongly opposed it. It turned out that he had been to Liangshan for the site of Gaozu's mausoleum, and he knew the advantages and disadvantages of this mountain feng shui. He said to Gaozong: "Liangshan is a treasure of feng shui from the outside, but there are many deficiencies in a closer look: first, although Liangshan is surrounded by water on both sides, it can surround the dragon qi, but it is cut off from the dragon vein of Taizong. The dragon vein of the Tang Dynasty branched out from Kunlun Mountain to cross the Yellow River, entered the Guanzhong, and spread eastward to Jiuzhi Mountain, Jinsu Mountain, Sagashan Mountain, and Yaoshan Mountain, headed by Qishan. Today, Taizong has been buried in Jiuzhi Mountain, which is the head of the dragon. Your Majesty can't be in the front in the future, and Liangshan is not the head of the dragon, but the tail of the dragon vein of the Zhou Dynasty, the tail gas will decline, and His Majesty is powerless to govern the country. The second is that the north peak of Liangshan is high, there are two peaks in front of it like a woman's milk, and the whole mountain shape looks like a young woman lying flat from a distance. His Majesty chose this mausoleum, fearing that it would be controlled by women from now on. The third is that the main peak of Liangshan is straight, which belongs to Muge, and the south two peaks are round and profitable, and belong to Jinge. Although the three peaks are upright, they look flat from a distance and are earthy. Jin can overcome wood, the earth can produce gold, the entire mountain-shaped dragon qi helps gold, under the main peak of the underground palace camp, His Majesty the Lord will be controlled by the people of Jinge. According to the minister's humble opinion, if the mausoleum site is set on this mountain, His Majesty will be injured by women in the future! After listening to Yuan Tiangang's grand remarks, Gaozong hesitated and retreated. Wu Zetian's cronies had already informed the Wu family, and the Wu family was very happy to hear it, and she secretly thought to herself: When I was a child, I heard my father say that Yuan Tiangang said that I can be a female emperor in the future, and it seems that it will come true. In the evening, he blew a pillow wind on Gaozong, naturally praising the eldest grandson Wuji and belittling Yuan Tiangang.

And from this story, it may be doomed to the decline of the Li Tang Dynasty has been the opportunity of Wu Zetian, whether the folklore is true or not, in fact, it is not so important, in the long river of history, whether it is Li Tang or Zhou Wu has turned into a trace of loess, just for the world to talk about after dinner.

But from this story, it can also be seen that although the feng shui here is the cave of the dragon's vein, it is the cave of the dragon's tail gathering and dispersing, so it will not be so smooth for us to go to the tomb later.
