"The emperor is dead!"

This voice echoed like a thunderbolt in the sky above the Luoyang Palace.

With his unwillingness, with his resentment, and with infinite regret, Cao Rong finally closed his eyes.

Thirty-six years old, originally in the prime of life, was able to make great achievements for nine days, but the disgrace of the flower of life made everything empty.

As a young son who ascended to the throne at the age of twenty-three, Cao Ei has his own ambitions and ideals, and his father and ancestors have never realized the long-cherished wish of dominating the world, and Cao Ei hopes to realize it in his own hands.

In the thirteen years of his reign, the national strength of Wei was at its peak, the country was peaceful and peaceful, and the war against Shu and Wu won successive victories, pacifying the country of Gongsun Yuan in Liaodong, assassinating Kirbineng, and dividing the powerful Xianbei and Xiongnu, Cao Wei's national strength was thriving, like the sky.

The improvement of the strength of the Wei State made Cao Heng more firm in his belief in dominating the world, and if Cao Rong was given another thirty or twenty years, he might not be able to realize the real family of the four seas.

But all these dreams turned into ashes with Cao Rong's untimely death.

There was silence in the Luoyang Imperial Palace, and all the guards, ministers, eunuchs, and palace maids all knelt on the spot, silently mourning the deceased son of heaven.

Cao Rong's funeral was naturally presided over by the new auxiliary ministers Cao Shuang and Sima Yi, and Guo, who had just been established as the queen, became the Empress Dowager Guo in a blink of an eye, and the change of identity made her a little at a loss, and Cao Fang, who had just ascended the throne, was even more ignorant, like a marionette.

The funeral of the Son of Heaven is naturally different from that of the subjects, and the specifications are so high that no one can compare.

On the twenty-seventh day of the first month, on the day of Cao Ei's death, the door that had always been closed was opened majestically, and Cao Ei's corpse left the Luoyang Palace under the escort of the ministers and guards.

Cao Liang was also in the team escorting the Son of Heaven Lingshu, walked slowly, walked out of Xuanyang Gate, and traveled ninety miles to the southeast, which is the burial place of Cao Liang's Lingshu - Gaoping Mausoleum.

Gaopingling is located in the south of Luoyang City, at the foot of the half-stone mountain, this generation of forests is luxuriant, the scenery is beautiful, it is a good place for hunting. Cao Ei did not choose Shouyang Mountain, where his father Cao Pi was buried, but chose Banshi Mountain, because Cao Ei studied his whole life, and he was angry about Cao Pi's poisoning of his mother Empress Wen Zhaozhen, and after his death, he was buried in the north and south, and he did not want to see each other again under the nine springs.

There is also an anecdote about Banshi Mountain, Cao Rong once hunted with Cao Pi and saw the mother and son two deer. Emperor Wen shot the mother deer and ordered Cao Rong to shoot the deer, but Cao Rong did not obey and said: "Your Majesty has already killed the doe, and the retainer really can't bear to kill its children again." After saying that, I cried. Cao Pi then put down his bow and arrows, and was deeply surprised, originally he was hesitant about the matter of the prince, but after this incident, he determined the intention of making Cao Rong the prince.

Perhaps it was because Cao Ei felt that Banshi Mountain was his blessed land, so he decided to arrange his mausoleum here.

Generally speaking, after the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, he would first choose a piece of feng shui treasure as a mausoleum and start to build it, because the mausoleum project of the Son of Heaven is huge, and it may not be possible to complete it in decades.

However, Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi advocated simple burial, and the structure of his Shouyang Mausoleum was extremely simple, with the mountain as the body, not sealing or trees, not burying with wives and concubines, nor building mausoleum gardens, Shinto, etc., without any traces on the surface. The building in the mausoleum is not luxurious, and the burial goods are mainly tiles to prevent future generations from digging and stealing.

Cao Cao's father and son both came from the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty, and they knew that tomb robbery was due to thick burials, and the more expensive the burial goods, the more they would attract the covetousness of tomb robbers.

Cao Cao is an expert in doing this, when he first started, in order to expand the number of soldiers to supplement food and salary, he also specially set up a general in the middle of the hill and a captain to touch the gold to do this tomb robbery.

Those dignitaries and princes thought that the more abundant the burial, the more noble they would be in the next life, but they didn't know that the result was that the burial was stolen, and the corpses were exposed to the wilderness, and the end was miserable.

After doing a lot of bad things, Cao Cao naturally didn't want to be buried but didn't dare to bury it, his tomb "no gold and no treasures", set up a suspicious grave seventy-two, descendants don't know where to bury, naturally no one can steal his tomb.

Since the thin burial is the tradition of Cao Wei, Cao Rong did not take the repair of the mausoleum as a thing, although the location of the mausoleum has long been determined, but the construction has not been started.

Perhaps Cao Ei felt that he was young, and there was still time, until he was seriously ill last year, he sent people to start building the Gaoping Mausoleum, in fact, until Cao Ei was buried, the Gaoping Mausoleum had not yet been completed.

After all, it is the emperor's mausoleum, even if it is simple, it is impossible to dig a pit like ordinary people can bury it, the emperor's simple burial only means that there are fewer burial goods, but other things are also indispensable.

After arriving at the Gaoping Mausoleum, Cao Liang's mood was different from the others, others may just regard this place as the mausoleum of Emperor Ming, but Cao Liang's heart was inexplicably stabbed.

Ten years later, it was here that a major event occurred related to the survival of Cao Wei Sheji, Sima Yi took the opportunity of the Wei Emperor Cao Fang and the general Cao Shuang and other cadres to go to Gaopingling to worship, brazenly launched a coup d'état, took control of the Luoyang court in one fell swoop, and killed thousands of Cao Shuang and other Cao clans, and seized Cao Wei's power.

Cao Wei's change of ownership began with Gao Pingling, so when others were not unusual, Cao Liang's mood was complicated and heavy.

Cao Shuang and Sima Yi are both chief priests, but because Sima Yi is much older, more experienced and experienced, so this funeral ceremony of the Son of Heaven is still dominated by Sima Yi.

Sima Yi was also conscientious and conscientious, and made Cao Rong's funeral ceremony perfect and impeccable, and under his arrangement, all the ceremonies were carried out in an orderly and orderly manner.

Perhaps, even he would not know what earth-shattering upheavals would take place here in ten years.

The vicissitudes of the world, the time changes, today's cause, it may be the fruit of a different day, Gao Pingling was recorded in the annals of history, not because this is the mausoleum of Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming, but a turmoil related to the survival of Cao Wei Sheji.

Will Cao Liang's rebirth change all this?

Will Gaoping Mausoleum be just a mausoleum, and will Cao Rong really rest in peace?

Cao Liang took a deep breath, he may not be able to control everything in the future, but he will definitely do his best to change all this.

Otherwise, one's rebirth will be meaningless.
