Chapter 179: Turning to Yangling
Later, under Liu Rong's teaching, Chen Ajiao caught several fish one after another, but Chen Ajiao was very happy, but an hour passed quickly, but after a while, Wang Sheng walked to Liu Rong and saluted: "Your Highness, the prince sent someone to send someone to pass the order and return to the palace."
Hearing this, Liu Rong put down the fishing rod in his hand, pulled Chen Ajiao and walked to the front of the car.
However, after a while, all the people accompanying him arrived before the car, and after Liu Qi, the son of heaven, and Queen Bo got into the car, the rest of the people also got into the car.
This time he left by car, and Liu Qi, the son of heaven, ordered Queen Bo to ride in the same car with him.
Although the relationship between Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, and Empress Bo has eased at this time, this is also an unprecedented thing.
When Bo Rongnu saw such a situation, he was so excited that he almost burst into tears on the spot, and the relatives of the Bo family, who had long been declining, were really hopeful now.
Because of the matter of establishing the prince and Jia Yi's advice, after thinking about it, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, had to change his opinion of Queen Bo again.
However, in the days that followed, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, felt more and more that Queen Bo was indeed an extremely gentle and virtuous woman, although she did not show Wang Wan that everything was "for the sake of the Son of Heaven", but she also put her thoughts on Liu Qi.
Solid this, how could Liu Qi, the son of heaven, not see it, and because of this, Liu Qi ordered to ride in the same car with Queen Bo.
Sitting on the car, Queen Bo said: "It is the luck of the concubines to be able to ride in the same car with Your Majesty."
"How can the queen say that, the queen and I are husband and wife, and it is naturally common for them to ride in the same car."
Hearing Tianzi say this, of course Queen Bo was very happy, and even couldn't believe that what was in front of her was real.
His eyes were ruddy and he said, "The concubine thanked Your Majesty."

However, the Son of Heaven drove slowly, slowly walking on the straight road built in the Qin period, and Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, lifted the curtain on the side of the car to watch the scene along the way.
After a period of silence, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, called Wang Yan over, "What's the matter with Your Majesty?" Wang Yan said as he accompanied the driver.
"Pass on my life, I will not return to Chang'an today, and I will be rerouted to Yangling."
Wang Yan naturally didn't know why His Majesty suddenly wanted to change his route to Yangling, but the order of the Son of Heaven was naturally to be passed on.
But after a while, I saw a soldier on horseback riding his horse and rode towards the front army, "Your Majesty has an order, the Son of Heaven Luan will change his route to Yangling!" Your Majesty has an order, and the Son of Heaven Luan will change his route to Yangling! ”。
Then he ran back and told him.
Hearing that His Majesty was suddenly going to change his route to Yangling, not only the concubines in the palace were strange, but even the courtiers and princes who accompanied him didn't know what His Majesty meant.
In the era before the Common Era, the construction of the imperial tomb was not only a matter for the emperor alone, but also a major event involving the national fortunes of the entire empire.
Of course, the Son of Heaven inspecting the supervision of the emperor's mausoleum is naturally a major event, and everyone will find it strange if it is fixed.
However, as early as the time of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gao Liu Bang selected the burial place of the Son of Heaven for the Han family - Xianyang Plateau.
Solidly, in addition to the tomb of Emperor Wen and the tomb of Emperor Xuan, the Son of Heaven of the Western Han Dynasty is not among them, and the rest of the tombs of the Son of Heaven are all on this Xianyang Plateau.
The ancients were dead, but under normal circumstances, the emperors of the previous dynasties would begin to build their own tombs as soon as they succeeded to the throne.
But since Liu Qi, the son of heaven, succeeded to the throne, he was busy with one thing - cutting the domain, and he didn't care about the matter of repairing the mausoleum.
Han Cheng Qin system, when Qin Shi Huang built his own Mausoleum of the First Emperor, he ordered Prime Minister Li Si to preside over the construction of the entire Mausoleum of the First Emperor.
And the young mansion among the nine Qings, in charge of the construction of the temple, the road bed, the palace affairs and the garden civil engineering.
In this way, the planning and construction supervisor of the imperial mausoleum of the Han family is naturally also the prime minister and the young mansion.
However, the prime minister of Emperor Liu Bang was Xiao He, and his presiding over the construction of the Changling Tomb was naturally a matter of words, and in the Wen Dynasty, Emperor Wen listened to Zhang Shizhi's advice, and buried it thinly, consolidating several prime ministers in the era of Emperor Wen, Zhou Bo, Chen Ping, Zhang Cang and Shen Tujia did not spend too much effort on the construction of the tomb.
But by the time of Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, the form had changed, and the Son of Heaven had been busy cutting the feudal domain and repairing the mausoleum, although it was also put on the agenda, but it was only on paper and had not started to build it. The first two prime ministers, Shen Tujia and Tao Qing, were dismissed before Yangling was built.
It wasn't until last year that the Wu Chu rebellion was put down, and the Son of Heaven issued an edict and began to build his own imperial mausoleum, Yangling.
Then he ordered the prime minister Taohou Liu She, and the Shaofu ordered Zhang Gong to supervise it.
Solid on this, the rest of the ministers, although they were also a little puzzled, what His Majesty was doing when he went to Yangling at this time, but he didn't think much about it.
However, in the eyes of Prime Minister Liu She and Shaofu Ling Zhang Gong, the Son of Heaven is going to Yangling to inspect the progress and quality of his work.
The site of the Yangling Tomb is at the intersection of Weishui and Jingshui, and since the order of Liu Qi, the son of heaven, the driver immediately turned around and went east along Weishui.
At this time, the Weishui was so vast that it traveled until dusk, and finally arrived at the land of Yangling.
In this way, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, ordered that he would camp here today and rest, and that the next day, he would personally investigate the construction of Yangling.
Liu Rong in the previous life, was very fond of history, when he was in college, he often went to the historical sites around the country, solid this Xianyang Plateau of the nine Western Han Dynasty Emperor Mausoleum, Liu Rong naturally has seen, but now Liu Rong has not only seen more than 2,000 years later Yangling, at this time it is necessary to see the Yangling that has just begun to be built more than 2,000 years ago.
And Liu Rong even thought that if he ascended the throne and became emperor, it was very likely that he would also build his own mausoleum on this Xianyang Plateau............
Because the Son of Heaven will often inspect the emperor's mausoleum, as early as the beginning of the construction of Yangling, in order to facilitate the Son of Heaven to have a place to settle here, he first built a palace here.
Although it only has more than ten houses, even if it is not as good as the palace in Shanglin Yuan, it is even less than the palace of Ganquan.
But it is much better to live in this palace than in a barracks.
However, as soon as everyone arrived this time, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, ordered everyone to have dinner with him, and Liu Rong at this time was naturally sitting in the hall, thinking of this, Liu Rong was even more stunned.
Liu De, who was sitting next to Liu Rong, saw that the eldest brother's eyes were straight and he didn't speak, so he pulled Liu Rong's sleeve and said, "What does the eldest brother think?" ”。
Only then did Liu Rong react and smiled: "It's nothing!" Nothing! ”。
After finishing speaking, he picked up the wine glass on the table and said: "Come, I will give you a glass for my brother."
Liu De immediately raised his wine glass with both hands and nodded, "Little brother Xie, big brother."
Then the two of them drank the wine from their glasses.
……………………………………………………………………
Early the next morning, Liu Rong, who was still asleep, heard a person say next to the bed: "Your Highness, the prince has ordered someone to send a message, and Your Majesty may summon His Highness early this morning."
Hearing that it was Wang Yan who sent someone to pass it on, Liu Rong immediately got up, and under the service of the two maidservants, he changed his clothes after some grooming.
Then Wang Sheng said, "Your Highness, breakfast has been prepared, please eat Your Highness."
Sure enough, just as Liu Rong was eating, he saw an attendant walk into his room and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has summoned you to the main hall."
In this way, Liu Rong put down the basket in his hand and went to the main hall with him.
As soon as he entered the palace, under the guidance of the attendants, he sat on the throne, and then he looked up and saw that the accompanying ministers were all in the palace, but among the many princes, it seemed that he was the only one who came.
Without waiting for Liu Rong to react, he heard a person shouting in a long voice: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”。
Immediately, Liu Rong and the courtiers saluted one by one and said, "The ministers will meet Your Majesty."
I saw the Son of Heaven Liu Qifeng said: "Today is not in the palace, and it is not a court discussion, so there is no need to be so polite."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!".
Then Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, went straight to the point and said: "I went to the edict to build Yangling, and all matters in Yangling will be under the jurisdiction of the prime minister."
Then the prime minister will explain the situation of the construction of Yangling at this time to the ministers present."
"No!" , Prime Minister Liu She saluted and said.
Then a picture about one zhang long was hung in this hall, but although this picture is large, there is no information about the internal structure of Yangling.
What is the emperor's most fear, that is naturally afraid of being stolen and excavated, this picture is so unclear, it must also be afraid of being known by outsiders, resulting in the theft of Yangling.
But in Liu Rong's view, how to protect it is useless, just as Zhang Shizhi said when he met Emperor Wen, if there is something coveted by others in the mausoleum, even if the whole mountain is sealed, there will be a gap......
At this time, I saw Liu She's preface: "Yangling is different from the Baling of the first emperor, Baling is hidden by mountains, and Yangling is ..................."
Although Liu She is not good at handling government affairs, he is still very attentive to the construction of Yangling for Liu Qi, the son of heaven.
Listening to what he said, the project of Yangling at this time was being built in an orderly manner.
Such a huge project as the emperor's mausoleum, naturally is time-consuming and labor-intensive, although the emperor's mausoleum of the Han family, although not like the mausoleum of the first emperor, more than 700,000 people were recruited to build it.
However, the manpower, material and financial resources consumed are also extremely huge, even if the tomb of Emperor Wen, which had already been set up and asked to be buried, it took nearly 20,000 people to complete it just by backfilling the soil of the tomb.
Not to mention the even more massive Yangling Mausoleum, as early as last year, after Liu Qi, the son of heaven, issued an edict to repair the mausoleum, he recruited nearly 80,000 people and prisoners, and built it.
The Yangling in history was also built after Liu Qi, the son of heaven, pacified the rebellion of Wu Chu, and was built until the third year of Liu Yuyuanshuo, and Wang Huan, who was the queen mother, died of illness and was buried in Yangling, and the construction of Yangling for twenty-eight years was completed.
However, the most important role of the imperial mausoleum of the Han family is not the mausoleum itself, but the mausoleum that accompanies the imperial mausoleum.
The Son of Heaven of the Han family, since the beginning of the construction of the imperial tomb, will issue an edict, ordering all counties in the world to report the list of the rich and powerful in the imperial court and counties every year, and finally move them from the county to the vicinity of the imperial tomb, and put them under the nose of the Son of Heaven to take care of.
Later, in order to prevent the county guards from communicating with the rich and powerful, after receiving benefits, they deliberately omitted to report it when they reported it to the list, and no longer asked the county to report it separately, but included it in their year-end counts.
In this way, no one dares to conceal or omit it without permission.
