Chapter 620: Being a thief has a weak heart

readx;

When Zhao Zhao was worried about the tax, Zhao Zhao had already set off for Yong'an. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This time, there are as many as 3,000 people in the entourage, the etiquette is thorough, and the grandeur is unprecedented.

Zhao Zhao set aside the guard of honor of King Qin and set off from Bianjing, followed by more than 3,000 people behind him, and the team stretched and the momentum was huge.

There were many people watching along the way, and everywhere they went, there were many people who came to visit the King of Qin, and the publicity effect was really good. More people knew about the existence of King Qin, and his prestige and merits were also widely transmitted, and now there is more of a reputation for benevolence and filial piety.

Because the people were too enthusiastic, the team walked for more than 200 miles for seven or eight days before arriving. Departed on the fifth day of the first month of April, and arrived at Yongan on the thirteenth day of April. The next day, April 14, was Song Renzong's birthday, and it happened to sweep the tomb and worship.

The site of the imperial mausoleum of the Song Dynasty is very special, it is on a loess ridge north of Songshan Mountain and south of the Yellow River, and the basic terrain is high in the south and north. This is somewhat different from the Chinese tradition of sitting north to south, north high and south low face yang.

The choice of this place is said to be the decision of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. He once wanted to move the capital to Luoyang, but was opposed by his younger brother Zhao Guangyi and his ministers, and ultimately failed. During the Kaibao period, Taizu held a suburban ceremony in Luoyang, and when he returned to Bianjing, he was full of emotion when he passed by the Yong'an Mausoleum where his father was buried. He told the ministers that he could not live in Xijing during his lifetime, and he would be buried here after his death.

Therefore, Taizu's Yongchang Mausoleum was located here, and then became the location of the Great Song Emperor's Mausoleum. Shao Yong once told Zhao Zhao that there was a reason why the imperial tomb was chosen here.

Shao Yong said that the location of the imperial tomb is the wind and rain, the combination of yin and yang, the center of heaven and earth, is the place where the emperor lives, and the extreme peak of Songshan is the center of heaven and earth.

At the same time, during the Tang and Song dynasties, it was popular to say that the surname of Wuyin Li, that is, the surname corresponded to the five tones of Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu. Zhao corresponded to Jiaoyin, and asked for a mausoleum to be selected in the west of the capital, and also asked for a dome in the southeast and a place in the northwest.

The vicinity of Gongyi fits this requirement. Backed by Songshan Mountain, facing the Yellow River and Luoshui, it also meets the requirements of Jiaoyin to the north of the mountain and the south of the water, so that there is a unique mausoleum topography in history.

In the third year of Song Zhenzong's Jingde, the imperial court carved out a part of the land from Gongyi, Yanshi, and Dengfeng and became Yong'an County. Grazing, felling, and farming are not allowed in the county, and the purpose is to protect the imperial tomb.

In addition to the garrison and the official attendants in charge of sacrifices, most of Yong'an County are cypress households. As the name suggests, it is to plant cypress trees in the mausoleum area. There are also a few pine trees. Each of the Imperial Tombs is separated by orange trees. The greenery and maintenance are quite good.

Nowadays, there are six mausoleums here: Seonjo, Taejo, Taejong, Zhenzong, Renzong and Yingzong. Each mausoleum is on a grand scale. Magnificent. At first glance, there is a series of tall buildings on the ground, and there are even larger underground palaces underneath.

While Zhao Zhao sighed, he also thought of the difficulty of construction. The Song Dynasty was different from its predecessors. Mausoleums were built by previous emperors from the beginning of their accession to the throne, and they continued to be built for decades. However, the emperor of the Song Dynasty did not repair the tomb during his lifetime, and immediately after his death, he began to repair the tomb, because the Yongchang Mausoleum of Taizu took seven months, thus forming the tradition of "burial in July".

In seven months, it took to build such a large underground palace and such a magnificent ground palace building. In ancient times without advanced machinery and equipment, it was definitely a difficult project. I don't know how much people's labor will cost, and I heard that it will also tire a lot of people to death. It's a bit cruel.

Zhao Zhao was thinking that if one day in the future, if he ascended to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, it seemed that such a huge mausoleum would also be built. It seems to be extremely noble and noble, but Zhao Zhao has a different kind of worry in his heart.

From ancient times to the present day. The imperial tombs were damaged a lot. This is especially the case in the Song Dynasty, after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the mausoleum was stolen and excavated by the Jin soldiers, and the damage was serious, and the bones of many emperors were directly exposed to the wild, which was miserable.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhao's sense of responsibility in his heart was even stronger. If nothing else, just for the sake of the ancestors and themselves to be able to enter the soil for peace, and the mausoleum will not be destroyed, it is necessary to make the Great Song Dynasty strong and not invaded by the northern nomads. Zhao Ji can't do this goal, the original history has been clear, especially his son Song Huizong, who is even more unbearable.

The shame of Jingkang must not be repeated!

Zhao Ji and his son can't do it, so they can only do it themselves. Zhao Zhao was even more determined, he must seize the throne, enrich the country and strengthen the army, and make Siyi surrender.

I hope to succeed, ancestors bless! Zhao Zhao prayed silently in his heart.

On the morning of April 14, Zhao Zhao, the king of Qin, went to the Yongzhao Mausoleum to sweep the tomb and worship his biological father Song Renzong.

Many monks and nuns, maidservants, and ceremonial musicians are all in place. The entrance to the mausoleum is on the south side of the higher ground, and the first is the lower palace, which is responsible for the four o'clock sacrifices. After the death of the emperor, he still had to enjoy the same treatment as when he was alive, and there were officials and chamberlains stationed here to be responsible for the sacrifices throughout the year.

The attendants of the lower palace of Yongzhaoling have been holding out for ten years, and some of them are the attendants of Renzong who came out of the palace before his death. I heard that Emperor Renzong had a biological son coming, so he came early to greet him with a respectful attitude. When they saw King Qin appear, they were even more tearful, sad, and even more excited.

Emperor Renzong's bloodline remains, this is a great joy! Today is Emperor Renzong's birthday, and when King Qin comes, he will be very pleased in the spirit of heaven.

Zhao Zhao stood at the door, looking north, and his father's mausoleum was on the lower ground in front of him. Because of the unique location of the imperial mausoleum of the Song Dynasty, there is no feeling of the emperor standing high above and looking down here.

However, even in the lower part of the terrain, the tall mausoleum is still very conspicuous, about 15 meters high, covering a huge area. It is like a huge mound of sealed soil in the Han Tombs, covering a large area. Coupled with good maintenance, the three-story mausoleum is built with rammed earth, and the appearance is painted with red mud, which is more solemn and magnificent.

That's where my father's bones are buried!

Zhao Zhao also sighed with emotion, even if the soul has nothing to do with Song Renzong, even if he has never met, but this body is because of him, he is a father and son who are connected by blood, and the family affection is constantly parted.

Zhao Zhao, under the guidance of the salute officer, carried out various sacrificial activities in an orderly manner.

Zong Zhengqing and Zhao Zongsheng have been following left and right. Even if there is too much unhappiness in your heart, you must be polite to this cousin. is also a prince, but the identity of the king of Qin is much more noble than his own King Pu.

Who made the family the son of the emperor, and his father was just a prince? What's more, Zhao Zhao still has a huge force behind him, controlling the situation in the northwest, how can he be compared to a so-called Zong Zhengqing?

In fact, the biggest difference is that Zhao Zhao has the possibility of ascending the throne, while he will never have it.

To be honest, Zhao Zongsheng was a little worried in his heart. After all, the assassin that day was sent by him, and Zhao Zhao's mother and son were able to easily dodge the assassination and catch the dead man, which fully proves that they are prepared. even deliberately dug a pit and waited for him to jump down, but Zhao Zhao easily won a game.

With such a formidable enemy, it would be impossible to guess where the assassins came from? Maybe after Zhao Zhao's investigation, there is even ironclad evidence. Although Gao Taotao is the main messenger behind the scenes, after all, he is responsible for the implementation, can Zhao Zhao be happy? I heard that he was decisive in the northwest battlefield, and he would definitely not be polite to a person who wanted to assassinate him.

The immediate killing of several Assassins that day was both a warning and a contempt. Zhao Zongsheng is not sure, when will Zhao Zhao trouble himself?

This time, he accompanied Zhao Zhao to come to the tomb together, but his heart was full of ups and downs, and he was a thief, where could he be calm? I am afraid that Zhao Zhao will make trouble for himself, and he really has no way to deal with it.

Do you rely on Gao Tao and Zhao Ji? Zhao Zongsheng shook his head. He knows who his brother-in-law and nephew are, especially the emperor's nephew, what happened to Zhao Zongyong's family that year is an example, he has a cold temperament and doesn't care about family affection at all. I have a status now, some use, and I'm pretty good to myself.

If you are useless, you probably won't pay attention to yourself at all. Once something happens, you have to help them carry the black pot. At critical times, they may not necessarily help themselves speak, and they may even be eager to make up for it and kill people.

Do you have to carry the black pot to the end? Or even take your own life? Zhao Zongsheng shook his head secretly, he couldn't let others slaughter like this, otherwise there would be no safety at all in the future.

That's right, Zhao Ji is a loss with Pu Wangfu, but he does not necessarily have a common prosperity. I used to think wrongly, but now it's not too late to understand.

Accompanying Zhao Zhao this time is a good verification, if there is a little omission, Zhao Ji will definitely be finished with himself, and he will not know how to be humiliated and punished at that time. The more this is the case, the more fearful Zhao Zongsheng's heart becomes. Carefully accompanying Zhao Zhao along the way, and watching over him, the uneasiness of being a thief, and the worry about the future, can be said to have tormented him.

Now you need to be more careful, Zhao Zhao left Bianjing at this time, it was definitely not as simple as Lingling, there must be some extraordinary action, or even escape. The task of taking care of myself has become more and more heavy, and I dare not relax at all. Zhao Zongsheng can predict that his nephew Zhao Ji will be furious and scolded?

It's better to be cautious, but in this way, you will definitely be able to watch Zhao Zhao? Zhao Zongsheng was a little drumming in his heart. This cousin is indeed young, but in him, he can feel an inexplicable unfathomable depth, and there is a sense of oppression. Although I have been very careful, I am afraid that I can't prevent it......

In such a situation, Zhao Zongsheng's mood is even more nervous, and he can be described as restless these days. Standing in Yongzhao Mausoleum at this moment, I am also restless......

He was thinking, why didn't he kill Concubine Lin and this child back then? In that case, why are there so many troubles today?

Zhao Zhao survived to really have a little bit of heaven immortality, could it be the will of heaven? Zhao Zongsheng's heart was even more apprehensive, and he couldn't help but feel more pessimistic.

I was in a trance, and suddenly I heard a wail.

Over there, Zhao Zhao is crying!

ps:

There is only one watch today, wait for me to sort out the back thoughts, and three changes tomorrow!
