Xue Fengxiang came out of class in pain: "The minister is here!" ”

Xue Fengxiang himself also knew in his heart that the matter of water seepage in Yongling must be a fatal matter, but this board will definitely hit him, although it will not be fatal, but if he wants to pass the test easily, it is unlikely.

The problem is that the construction of the Yongling Tomb has begun in the fifteenth year of Jiajing, and the site is selected by the auxiliary minister Zhang Xuan and the military department member Luo Yongqing and others, and the final confirmation is the descendants of the famous feng shui masters in Jiangxi Yang Yunsong, Zeng Wendi, and Liao Sanchuan.

Even the name of Yangcuiling was changed because Emperor Shizong Jiajing thought that the original name of Eighteen Daoling was not good.

Presiding over the construction of Yongling was Guo Xun, the Duke of Yiguo, and Li Shi, an auxiliary minister.

Among these two people, Li Shi also died in the seventeenth year of Jiajing, and Guo Xun was also sentenced to death in the twentieth year of Jiajing.

As for the craftsmen who built the Yongling, there were even more than 10,000 people, where to find these people now?

Emperor Chongzhen, who was high on the dragon chair, snorted coldly: "What is the situation in Yongling? Who presided over the construction back then? Who is involved in site selection? Why is there all of a sudden? ”

After Emperor Chongzhen's cold words were asked, Wen Tiren bowed directly and said: "Your Majesty, whether it is the person who presides over or the person who creates it, has been doing ancient things in the Jiajing period. The information of craftsmen and others is also lost today.

The only way to deal with the aftermath is to discuss how to deal with the aftermath, as for accountability, it is better to wait for the matter to settle down before discussing it? ”

Xue Fengxiang glanced at Wen Tiren gratefully - it was interesting to be able to reach out and pull his brother at this time!

Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen snorted again before he spoke: "What about Wen Aiqing's opinion?" ”

Wen Tiren bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the only way to do this is to choose two paths."

One is to repair the Yongling Tomb to prevent similar problems from occurring in the future. The second is to move the tomb and choose another feng shui treasure land. ”

After Emperor Chongzhen snorted coldly, he turned his gaze to Xiang Fengxiang again: "What does Xue Aiqing think?" ”

After quietly glancing at Emperor Chongzhen, Xue Fengxiang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the selection of the tomb should be the top."

At present, the feng shui of Yangcuiling has been broken, and it is not suitable for the place of Yongling, and it is only a symptomatic method to repair it, so it is better to move the tomb. ”

Emperor Chongzhen stood up from the dragon chair with a pout, and paced back and forth for a few steps before he said angrily: "The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites jointly chose a feng shui treasure for Emperor Sejong to rebuild the tomb, and the original Yongling was abandoned. Retreat! ”

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen waved his sleeves and turned back to the harem, leaving the ministers in the entire court to stare there.

This thing is really weird, so good Yongling actually said that water seepage is water seepage? No signs before that?

After returning to the cabinet, Xue Fengxiang came over and said to Wen Tiren: "Today's matter, thank you for the help of the old Wen Pavilion, the lower officials are grateful!" ”

Wen Tiren said with a smile: "You and I are officials in the same dynasty, which is what it should mean, why should Lord Xue be so polite." ”

Xue Fengxiang wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said: "The matter of water seepage in Yongling is not trivial, if Your Majesty's board is knocked down, the lower officials will bear the brunt, but I am afraid that it will be unknown if I will die old because of this matter." ”

Wen Tiren looked like a kind old man, and he still said with a smile: "The matter involves the mausoleum of Emperor Shizong, if Your Majesty doesn't say anything, I'm afraid that I will laugh for the world."

Lord Xue was ordered to preside over the relocation of the tomb this time, and the burden on his body was not light. ”

Xue Fengxiang nodded, squeezed out a smile on his face that was even more ugly than crying, and said with a wry smile: "The lower official will organize people to survey the tomb when he turns around." ”

After finishing speaking, Xue Fengxiang was about to say goodbye to Wen Tiren, but Wen Tiren suddenly said: "By the way, the old man took the liberty to ask, I don't know what Lord Xue thinks of the funeral goods involved in the relocation of Yongling?" ”

An old fox like Wen Tiren would never suddenly open his mouth to talk about the issue of Yongling burial goods, as long as he did, there must be something wrong with it.

After thinking about it for a while, Xue Fengxiang said tentatively: "Xiaguan plans to organize people to survey the tomb first, and then count the burial goods before going to the burial. ”

Wen Tiren shouted: "Confused! What is the noble status of Emperor Sejong? How can these burial goods be buried a second time? ”

Xue Fengxiang said: "What does Lord Wen mean?" ”

After taking a sip of tea, Wen Tiren said lightly: "It's not what the old man means, but how you Xue Gongbu." ”

When Xue Fengxiang heard this, he also fell into deep thought.

The matter of water seepage in Yongling is strange from top to bottom, but no one dares to say it.

Has there ever been such a thing as water seepage in the imperial tomb in history? There should have been, there have been so many emperors buried in history, who knows if there is water seepage.

But can Yongling be the same? It's only been a short seventy-three years since Emperor Sejong was buried, and now it's seeping water?

Are those people who choose a mausoleum for the emperor really eat mixed rice? Is it true that the construction standard of the emperor's mausoleum is the same as that of the people's houses built?

Sanhe soil, bricks, organs, all kinds of technologies are not to say that they are the top at that time, and it is estimated that there is no second one who dares to be so extravagant.

The emperor's mausoleum, built with such awesome technology, actually showed signs of water seepage, which made the emperor angry, and then had to move the mausoleum?

No matter how you look at it, there is a weirdness.

When Wen Tiren brought out the burial goods of Yongling again, Xue Fengxiang suddenly felt that he had grabbed something.

In a flash of inspiration, Xue Fengxiang blurted out: "Yongle Grand Ceremony!" ”

Yongle began to compile in the third year, mobilized more than 3,000 Wenchen, involved more than 20,000 old Confucians, and did not complete the Yongle ceremony until the seventh year of Yongle!

Ming Shizong likes the "Yongle Canon" very much, and often carries it with him to read it, and everyone knows this.

However, in the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing, a fire broke out in the palace, and the three major halls were burned down. Under the spread of the fire, even the "Yongle Grand Canon" in the Wenlou was in danger of being burned!

In order to prevent this situation from happening again, in the forty-first year of Jiajing, Ming Shizong appointed Gao Gong, Qu Jingchun, Zhang Juzheng and others to be responsible for rerecording the "Yongle Canon".

In order to re-record the ceremony, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites presided over the "Examination of Names of Names", and selected one hundred and nine good calligraphers to copy them, and the Inner Government allocated painters, calenders, and paper craftsmen, and the Salary Division, Guanglu Temple, and Hanlin Yuan were also responsible for the supply of charcoal, wine, rice, and moon rice.

The writers of the re-recording of the Yongle Canon were required to each person to copy three pages per day, so the re-recording took six years, and it was not completed in a hurry until the first year of Mu Zong's reign.

The problem is that at this rate, the "Yongle Canon" should not have been copied!

The original Yongle Canon is about 550,000 pages, and theoretically it should be copied completely.

However, in fact, these one hundred and nine good scholars still have time to rest, as well as sick and leave, etc., which is likely to lead to the fact that Jiajing's copy of the "Yongle Canon" has not been completely copied.

According to rumors in the rivers and lakes, the original "Yongle Grand Canon" has been buried with Emperor Sejong!

A few days ago, Emperor Chongzhen happened to tell his people that he would print more copies of most of the books in the Imperial Palace, including the "Yongle Canon"!

Then there was a water seepage incident in Yongling, and it took only ten years before and after!

After these things were connected together, cold sweat began to break out on Xue Fengxiang's forehead - it was extremely scary to think about it!

I know so many things, will I be killed by the factory guard?

Frightened, Xue Fengxiang didn't care about any decency, and begged Wen Tiren directly: "Lord Shoufu save me!" ”

Wen Tiren stroked his beard and said: "Lord Xue doesn't have to be like this, the taboo is also clear in His Majesty's heart, otherwise why is it difficult to directly send the factory guard to Yongling to take the ceremony?"

Now that he has taken the opportunity of Yongling's water seepage to do things more perfectly, presumably His Majesty will be able to explain the past. ”

Now that there is no one else in the cabinet, Wen Tiren simply said a few more words: "Lord Xue just needs to do his errands with peace of mind, but don't worry, how much work has Gonggong Wei shouldered?" Aren't you also in retirement now? ”

Hearing Wen Tiren mention Wei Zhongxian, Xue Fengxiang's heart was a little relieved.

When it comes to the black cauldron and infamy on his back, these so-called eunuch members are far worse than Wei Zhongxian and Wei Gonggong, who has been a nine-thousand-year-old master!

After settling down, Xue Fengxiang bowed his hand to Wen Tiren and said: "Thank you for the suggestion of the old man, and in the future, I would like to take the old man of the pavilion as the leader, and there will be no two hearts." ”

Wen Tiren still had that smiling expression: "You and I work together for the Son of Heaven, so why do we separate each other?" ”

Xue Fengxiang thanked him again before saying, "The lower official will leave first." ”

After bidding farewell to Wen Tiren from the cabinet, Xue Fengxiang went to find Meng Shaoyu, planning to find this Ministry of Rites Shangshu to study how to move the tomb together.

After Meng Shaoyu waved his hand and ordered everyone to retreat, he personally poured a cup of tea for Xue Fengxiang, and said with a smile: "Meng has been waiting for a long time. ”

Xue Fengxiang reluctantly smiled: "Lord Meng is waiting for this official, also for the matter of moving the tomb?" ”

Meng Shaoyu said with a smile: "Meng has already discussed with his colleagues in the Ministry of Rites, April 18 is a good time to break the ground, move the grave, and sacrifice." ”

Xue Fengxiang thanked him before he pondered: "Is it too anxious?" ”

Meng Shaoyu said with some meaning: "The matter of water seepage in the emperor's tomb is not trivial, if it is delayed for a long time, the water seeps into the Xuan Palace, I am afraid that you and I will not be able to explain it to Your Majesty."

What's more, Meng has also admired the Yongle Ceremony for a long time, so he just took this opportunity to take a look? ”

Xue Fengxiang suddenly laughed, and after bowing his hand to Meng Shaoyu, he got up and said, "Since this is the case, then Xue will go back and prepare, and break the ground in three days." ”

After hurriedly saying goodbye, Xue Fengxiang went directly to the Ministry of Works.

Everyone else has much less to do, but he is a hard worker.

This kind of thing is not big, it is not small, and there are countless twists and turns in it.

For example, when to break the ground and dig a grave, when to build a new grave, how to store the coffin that comes out, when to bury it again, and so on.

There are too many things that are entangled with the Ministry of Rites, and there are many things to think about.

I really don't know if it's worth it to dig up the grave of Emperor Sejong for the sake of a Yongle ceremony, even if I want to see what the real Yongle ceremony looks like.

……

It's a big play, and everyone from the director to the actors is doing their best.

Emperor Chongzhen thought that he had done a good job, but he never thought that the officials below had already seen through it.

But it should be with the emperor's performance, and the officials below are working hard with their lives to ensure that this big drama can end perfectly.

The two yamen of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry, as well as the officials of the Shaofu, are like crazy, and they have the momentum of digging three feet into the ground of Tianshou Mountain, in order to find a place suitable for rebuilding Yongling.

In just a few days, the site of the new tomb was selected, and then ground was broken and the construction of the new Yongling began to begin.

On April 18, the original Yongling began to unravel the grave after a tedious ritual such as worshipping the heavens and ancestors.

Even Emperor Chongzhen hid in the quiet room and fasted for three days, expressing repentance and thinking about his unfilial behavior - even the grave of his ancestors was dug up, which can be said to be extremely unfilial.

But Emperor Chongzhen never regretted it.

can save the "Yongle Grand Canon", not to mention Emperor Sejong Zhu Houxi, even if it is the tomb of Yongle Emperor Zhu Laosi, Emperor Chongzhen dares to dig it!

The most important thing is that it has only been seventy-three years since Zhu Houxi was buried in the grave, and the Yongle Ceremony should be well preserved in the tomb.

After waiting for the last few hundred years, there is not even a wordless book left, what is the Yongle Ceremony!

It is a crime to bury such a precious book quietly in the long river of years with a corpse!

As time progressed little by little, Emperor Jiajing's tomb was finally dug up, and no one cared about the dazzling array of funeral goods, and everyone's focus was on the Yongle Grand Ceremony, which occupied the size of several houses.

Emperor Chongzhen also saw the legendary "Yongle Grand Canon" - after it was just dug up, the "Yongle Grand Canon" was immediately sent to the Imperial Palace, which had already vacated the place.

The orders given to the eunuchs and eunuchs who took care of the Emperor's Palace were a bit scary - it didn't matter if the entire capital was destroyed, but the ceremony was slightly damaged, and all the people who took care of the Emperor's Palace had to fight for it!

Emperor Chongzhen knew that his order was a bit exaggerated and a little excessive.

But when facing such a classic as "Yongle Canon", you can't be too careful!

In addition to the "Spring and Autumn Interpretation", "Yuanhe Surname Compilation", "History of the Old Five Dynasties", "Records of the Years since the Establishment of Yan" and medical masterpieces "Su Shen Liangfang", "Boji Fang", "Typhoid Weizhi", more than I have never heard of it, let alone seen classics are also included in it!

Beijing or "Yongle Canon", which is more important, in fact, it is really hard to say.

In the heart of Emperor Chongzhen, a traverser, if you travel once, you can save the "Yongle Canon", and this crossing is meaningful!

However, it was precisely under this order of Emperor Chongzhen that all the eunuchs of the Emperor Shichen treated the "Yongle Grand Canon" with 120,000 spirits, for fear that if something went wrong, it would end up being a head.

At the same time, Guozijian also began to get busy.

After picking out more than 100 good prisoners, they began to enter the Imperial Palace and began to transcribe the "Yongle Canon".

Shaofu also got busy - the people of Guozijian were playing with their lives to copy, and Shaofu wanted to make engravings of impressions and graphics, and then rubbed more than 20 copies.
