After the war, the Emperor's Mausoleum was destroyed

Renovate transnational rituals

For several days, Empress Dowager Xie was restless and dreamed that Emperor Xiaozong said to her; The royal heirs of our dynasty are not prosperous, and they are all caused by the destruction of the ancestral tomb. If this is the third, the Queen Mother will send someone to call the emperor and say so and so.

Emperor Zhao Kuo was also often distressed about the death of his children, so he consulted with the deacons.

The opinions of the deacons are very clear: since the Golden Emperor clearly agreed, they can send someone to repair the imperial mausoleum, and when the Qingming Festival is over, they can send someone to pay tribute on their behalf.

Emperor Zhao Kuo immediately complied, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, he sent an attendant to report to his grandmother.

The imperial mausoleum of the Northern Song Dynasty was selected by Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty. Gongxian County is located in the central part of Henan, with undulating mountains and ravines. The Songshan Mountains stretch in the south, and the Pishan Mountains traverse in the north, and the Yiluo River meanders and flows into the Yellow River from west to east. Zhuling is built on the loess hill of the north foot of Song Mountain in the south and the bank of the Luoshui River in the north, the natural topography is high in the south and low in the north, and the east dome is hanging in the west. The emperor's surname is "Zhao", and the topography of the mausoleum is auspicious with "the southeast dome and the northwest land", and the natural geographical environment of Gongxian County is superior, which is in line with the conditions of the Northern Song Dynasty Yin and Yang Kanyu Technique. Therefore, the nine emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty, except for Huizong Qinzong, who was taken captive by the Jin people and imprisoned in Mobei, the remaining seven emperors were buried in Gongxian, plus the mausoleum of Zhao Kuangyin's father Zhao Hongyin and the empty mausoleum of Huizong, collectively referred to as "Nine Tombs".

In March of the second year of Jingkang, the Jin soldiers captured Kaifeng, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, abducted Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, and began a crazy robbery of the imperial tombs of the Northern Song Dynasty.

???? There are many gold, silver and jade, antique calligraphy and paintings in the main hall and Zen courtyard of the lower palace, and it has become the first place for the golden soldiers to start.

?? The Song tombs were all built on the loess of the plain, and the tombs were built on the same scale, so it was easier to dig them. Jin Bing used the method of uncovering the top of the small tomb, and dug a hole from the side slope of the mausoleum for the big tomb, pried open the coupon stone on the top of the tomb, and went down with a rope. The mausoleum area was suddenly filled with smoke and fire, and there was chaos.

After hearing the news, Gaozong Zhao Gou ordered Zhai Xing, the envoy of Henan Zhenfu, and Yue Fei, the hero of the anti-Jin Dynasty, to go north, drive away the Jin soldiers, and repair the imperial tomb. After the Song army retreated, the Jin soldiers' retaliation became even stronger, not only digging graves more fiercely, but also burning houses and cutting down trees. As a result, the cemetery with dense pines and cypresses soon became full of holes.

?? More than two years later, Liu Yu, the emperor of Great Qi, found that a soldier had taken a crystal bowl, which felt very exquisite, and learned that it was stolen from Yongyu Tomb. asked his son to organize a special grave-digging team "sand digging team" to dig the Song Tomb again, even the tombs of the common people.

In March of the twelfth year of Shaoxing (1142), Song and Jin negotiated peace. Jin agreed to return Huizong, Empress Zheng, and Gaozong's wife Xinghouzi Palace, and at the same time allowed Gaozong's biological mother Wei. In October, Song Dynasty temporarily buried Huizong in Huiji with a grand ceremony, called Yonggu Mausoleum. Temporarily buried in Huiji, hoping to recover the lost land in the future, and then return to the Song Mausoleum in Gongxian County.

In March of the seventh year of the main road (1171), Jin Shizong sent people to Lin'an to report: Qinzong will be buried in the imperial mausoleum of Gongxian County, called Yongxian Mausoleum.

Going to Jindi to worship ancestors is another major event, involving all aspects and needs to be planned in advance. New Year's Day and the Spring Festival are approaching, and it is only a little more than two months to Qingming, and the relevant things must be negotiated, and the damaged ones must be repaired, and so on, which will cost a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Wei Zhan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Yang Yuandao of the Ministry of Works, went to Jindu to negotiate the worship of ancestors.

Jin agreed to the request of the Song court, and at the same time stipulated: only engineers are allowed to be sent to repair the imperial tomb, labor services are borne by the local people of Jin, and the materials required must also be purchased in Jin, and soldiers are not allowed to participate in the worship of the tomb. In order to cooperate with the Song Dynasty's actions, the Jin court ordered Pu Chazhen, the right capital supervisor of Xingyang County (present-day Zhengzhou, Henan), to lead 200 men to be stationed at the imperial tomb in Gongxian County.

Wei Shilang and his entourage, when they returned from Yanjing, went straight to Gongxian. Let the painter copy the topography of the imperial tomb, measure the entire imperial tomb, visit the old people guarding the tomb, and recall the original appearance of the imperial tomb.

When I returned to Lin'an, I immediately reported: as mentioned before, the whole thing was full of holes and unbearable, and it had reached the point where it had to be repaired.

Looking at the drawing and listening to the report, Emperor Zhao Kuo's tears fell:

The hateful Jin Bang is all barbarians. The imperial mausoleum should be repaired well, and it doesn't matter if you spend a little more money.

Liu Luan Qijuan: Your Majesty, it is said that building a mausoleum for the ancestors, as long as it is not wasted, it is not too much to repair. However, this Gong County is not owned by our dynasty, and it is not allowed to send troops, nor is it allowed to transport materials such as stones and wood, and it will cost to use every grass and wood, so the Jin people will definitely take the opportunity to raise the price. Besides, if it is repaired, who guarantees that it will not be destroyed? Therefore, Weichen thinks that the maintenance should not be luxurious, and it can be similar to the original.

The emperor looked at Han Yanxuan. Han Yanxuan got up:

Your Majesty, the minister thought that what Liu Shenzheng said was very true, the imperial tomb underground palace generally maintained the status quo, mainly for ground maintenance, such as tombstones, mythical beasts, stone people, broken to make up, roads to be rebuilt, trees to be planted, time is tight, almost that's it.

After the plan was decided, Yang Yuandao and Fan Zuliang were immediately arranged to take people there.

The choice of Yang Fan and the others as the envoys of the ancestral tomb of Gongxian County was considered. Yang Yuandao has been in the Ministry of Engineering for many years, and is familiar with the construction project, he is responsible for organizing the construction in Gong County, and Fan Zuliang is mainly responsible for going to other places to purchase materials, taking this opportunity to find out the truth about Jinguo.

Sure enough, when organizing the local people to repair the terrain and repair the roads, Jin took care of Pu Chazhen, and the asking price was extremely high.

Yang Yuandao frowned, thinking about it. Invite Pu Chazhen to drink, and when he was slightly drunk, he opened his mouth and asked: General Pu, do you want to make a lot of money for a while, or do you want to make money for a long time?

Pu asked: What does Yang Zhizhou mean by this?

For example, we will trim it, level the road, plant a few trees, and the project will be over, anyway, the court will give so much money, and you will earn so much money once, and there will be no more. If you want to make long-term money, each project is a little higher than the normal price, you arrange personnel for me, I will give you another two percent, to thank you and your soldiers, we widen and lengthen the road, repair it well, Shishi stone people use good granite, plant precious trees, the money is used up, just stop, when Qingming comes to pay tribute, you will find that it is not matching, not magnificent, what to do? If you allocate money and continue to repair, you may have to come every year in the future, so won't the money you earn be like a steady stream of water.

Pu Chazhen thought about it, yes, that's the reason, so let's do it.

Fan Zuliang will recount it next to Jin's matter.

Then we will talk about the memorial tomb. On the eve of the Qingming Festival, the Song Dynasty sent a 500-member ancestral tomb sacrifice group. Led by the right prime minister Wu Bogang, the same color of civil officials, including more than 100 courtiers, 60 members of the Zhao clan, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, Taizong Zhao Guangyi's descendants are all descendants, and the rest are selected Praetorian Guard soldiers. The carriage stretched for miles, and it could be described as mighty.

The festival was solemn and elaborate, and it took three hours to conclude.
