Chapter 153: The Roots

Shangqiu Suihuang Mausoleum, Huaiyang Taihao Mausoleum, Qiaoshan Yellow Emperor Mausoleum, Baoji Yan Emperor Mausoleum, Neihuang Second Emperor Mausoleum, Linfen Yao Emperor Mausoleum, Jiuzhi Mountain Shun Emperor Mausoleum, whether true or not, whether it was built by the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, are enough to provide examples for later monarchs to focus on building their own mausoleums. The Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the mausoleums of Chinese monarchs from the legendary Suiren clan to Yuan Shikai in the twentieth century.

To build the royal tomb, there is such a force as the ink man who is good at building fortifications, and it is impossible for Yingzheng not to use it. The monarch of the Qin State before Ying Zheng may have felt that the strength of the Qin State was not enough to defeat the Six Kingdoms, and that the construction of the mausoleum by the ink artist was too overkill, and he did not use the power that was very important to the country like the ink man. When it came to Yingzheng, the national strength of the Qin State far exceeded that of before, and the unification of the world was irreversible, and the importance of the ink to the Qin State was greatly reduced.

It is no wonder that the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has only only excavated three terracotta warriors and horses, and it will be called the eighth wonder of the world by some people.

At this time, Ying Zheng's continuous purchase of mercury was not for the alchemy and longevity that Song Feng said, but to outline the sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers in the mausoleum. And long-term exposure to mercury will inevitably lead to poisoning, how long is the life of the ink person.

Of course, mercury poisoning could not make the ink man even unable to leave the inheritance, and the disappearance of the ink man was because after the construction of the royal tomb, he was buried in the mausoleum! The mausoleum of the monarch was built at the beginning of the monarch's succession to the throne and was built until the monarch's death. In order to prevent the mausoleum from being disturbed, the craftsmen who built the mausoleum were all buried in the mausoleum, and few could escape, especially in the Warring States period when the martyrdom system had not completely disappeared, and these people who participated in the construction of the mausoleum could not come out alive.

Even if the Mo family was still used to build weapons and fortifications, the Mo people were not all sent to the royal tomb, but after the unification of the world, in order to defend against the attack of the Huns, it was necessary to build such a huge project as the Great Wall, and it was still indispensable to build the Mo family.

After these two major projects, Fusu did not think that there were many people left in the Mo family, and it was almost inevitable that they would eventually disappear in history, and without such a political group that was long in fortifications, it was inevitable that ancient China's science and technology would regress in the late Qin and early Han dynasties.

The cooperation between Fusu and the Mo family has been very deep, and many things are inseparable from the help of the Mo family. Even if he doesn't talk about this, Fusu can't watch so many technical talents being buried alive.

But thinking of the fame of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang in the old time and space, Fusu can know how much Yingzheng attaches importance to the mausoleum, if he rashly advises on this matter at this time, it is really not wise enough, and it is even possible to lose Yingzheng's favor early. In this way, not only can you not save the inker, but you may also put yourself in it.

Fusu looked at the haggard Cheng Qu, he really didn't know how to comfort the old man, and ruthlessly refused Cheng Qu's request for help, he couldn't do it, but he couldn't do it rashly to plead with Yingzheng.

"In addition to the ink on the construction site, what happened to the ink of Bowangyuan and the two gentlemen Leng Shi and Wu # Si?" Fusu, who really didn't know how to speak, had to try to divert Cheng Qu's attention first.

After listening to Fusu's question, Cheng Qu's face seemed to be even paler, and he shook his head for a long time, and said: "The ink masters of Bowangyuan and the Academy Palace have not been disturbed, and the ink masters of the training class are still training in the Academy Palace, I left them in the Academy Palace and did not let them go back." But, but ......" only said half a sentence, Cheng Qu couldn't cry, and the tears that flowed out couldn't be wiped clean.

"Make the old gentleman a cup of tea." Fusu commanded in a low voice, "Go and ask a doctor to come over again." ”

Fusu waited for Cheng Qu to stabilize his mood and served the tea.

"It's me who hurt the Mo family, it's me who hurt the Mo family." Cheng Qu took a sip of tea, and then looked at the teacup quietly.

Fusu didn't speak, knowing that he should be a quiet listener at this time.

After a long time, there seemed to be footsteps outside the door, it should be that the imperial doctor had arrived, and Fusu was hesitating whether to let the imperial doctor come in first, treat Cheng Qu, and prescribe a pair of calming medicines, when Cheng Qu spoke.

"The ink artist has been fighting with the public losers for hundreds of years, and now I am suddenly in the same room with them, I am very unconvinced, and I always want to suppress them. Unexpectedly, the number of public losers is not large, but they all have good skills, and soon someone became the manager of the carpentry workshop, surpassing Guo Lin, in the carpentry shop, the status is second only to Zhang Huo, and several ink stewards are on a par with each other. And in the School Palace, even that big old man became a member of the academic committee, and he was on an equal footing with me, which made me resentful. Childe asked us to design the blueprint of the workshop, and I thought that we must surpass them, but the two of us completed it almost at the same time, and I was very anxious, thinking that since the design was not successful, then I would complete the drawings of my design as soon as possible, so that Childe could see that the Mo family was better than the public loser. ”

"So I asked Tang Gu to mobilize all the ink people who could be mobilized, and went to the workshop to participate in the construction, Tang Gu gathered all the ink people who were on vacation and on vacation in the Bowang Garden and the shops, and all the people who were on vacation and on rotation in the shops, and the giant had an order, they didn't dare to disobey, and they all went to the workshop to work, but I didn't expect it, but I didn't expect it to be wiped out by the king, and all of them were recruited to repair the king's tomb."

When Fusu heard this, he was a little puzzled, although this kind of thing is not a military secret, but it will not tell the craftsmen the true purpose when they are recruited, how did Cheng Qu know?

"Wait, Meng An, Xiling, you go out and guard the door, no one can get within ten zhang of the room." Fusu sent Meng An and the others out before asking.

"Mr. Cheng, how can you be sure that your father must have recruited them to repair the king's tomb?"

Cheng Qu was stunned for a moment, and a trace of guilt appeared on his face, which had been occupied by sadness and sorrow, and he was silent for a while, and then spoke: "All along, the ink scholar has participated in the reform, army, and manufacturing of the Qin State, and there is one more thing that the Qin kings of all dynasties want to hand over to the ink scholar to do, that is, to select a site for the royal tomb and design the plan. It's just that the ink artist adheres to the idea of the giant son's funeral, and never agrees, even if he occasionally gives advice to the craftsmen, it is also to save manpower and material consumption. ”

"The king ascended the throne, Lu Xiang also wanted to hand over the task of building the royal tomb to the ink man, but we refused, I thought that the matter would pass like this, but the king didn't know how to know about it, checked his own plan for the construction of the royal tomb, very dissatisfied, and declared that if the ink man was unwilling to design a plan for him to satisfy, he would uproot the ink man in the future."
