Chapter 789: Emperor Ming Yuan Arrives in Person
Yu Wenhao still shook his head in the end, "Wait for the will, we can't enter the tomb without permission." ”
Everyone is also silent, there is really no clear purpose, and it is not good to go in to investigate privately, according to the underground palace map, to enter the funeral road, you have to enter another door, and go inside after the funeral road, which is the center of the underground palace where the coffin is placed.
The brothers, waiting for the will of Jingzhong with a heavy heart, Yu Wenhao was very bored in the Xiang'en Palace, so he walked out.
Seeing the night dark and dreary, the autumn wind was wanton, and there seemed to be night owls chirping around, and a sense of desolation suddenly appeared.
Yu Wenhao gradually moved forward, from Xiling to Dongling walked for half an hour before he arrived, he suddenly stood still, looked back at Xiling, and felt that something was wrong.
When I arrived in Dongling today, some people first went to the various imperial tombs to offer incense, but the incense should be incense in the upper hall of the emperor's tomb, why go to the tomb?
There is also from Dongling to Xiling, even if you run, you need at least two sticks of incense, and this is not counting the worship in the Xiang'en Hall after arriving in Xiling.
However, he remembered that the person who reported the report had already run back to report it with a stick of incense.
At that time, when they passed, they rode horses and didn't care about the distance, in other words, the person who was incense had already rushed back to report before they arrived in Xiling.
He already knew that Xiling was destroyed?
In other words, the person who destroyed Xiling deliberately let them find out?
However, if this person is deliberately informed, he can go to Xiling first and then come back, why do he have to turn back halfway? It's not a bad time.
Thinking of this, Yu Wenhao suddenly felt that this matter was not simple, in the tomb of Hui Zong, could it be that there was some ambush or conspiracy?
He thought about it, walked back to the Hall of Grace, and told his brothers about the doubts in his heart.
King An's mind was relatively clear, and when he heard him say this, he suddenly became alert, "The person who came to offer incense to Emperor Huizong today is from the Ministry of Rites?" ”
"It's not the Ministry of Rites, it may be someone from the clan, and the people in the inner government are all eunuchs, so it's impossible to arrange eunuchs to come over and offer incense." Sun Wang said.
Yu Wenhao shook his head, "It's not from the royal family, if it's from the royal family, how can we not know each other?" ”
King Sun looked at Yu Wenhao and asked, "The funeral matter is presided over by Prince Bao, do you want to send someone to ask him about this matter?" But it's strange to say, why didn't he come with him today? ”
Yu Wenhao frowned slowly, Prince Bao, Prince Bao again.
The person who laughed at Hongchen has been following him these days, and he has not found anything abnormal, let alone seen him have dealings with anyone, and his pastime on weekdays is either to listen to stories in the teahouse, or to play with birds in the bird street, or to play with antiques in the antique street, and enter the palace on the fifteenth day of the new year, and rarely talk to people during the period.
Xiao Hongchen also sent someone to infiltrate Prince Bao's mansion, and the news he found out was not suspicious, and most of the people who interacted with him were people from the royal family, and he almost didn't talk about state affairs when he was in the mansion.
Is such a person suspicious?
But if you say that everything is not touched, it seems to be inextricably linked.
What's wrong with Xiling?
Yu Wenhao walked out and summoned Zhang Tian, "In the funeral procession, which prince and lord are there now?" ”
Zhang Tian had been waiting outside, and he didn't know if he was afraid or the autumn cold of the night, he shivered, "Go back...... If you go back to Your Highness, there are now Prince Rui, the Ministry of Rites and the Duke Wu of the Inner Palace. ”
"Do they know about Xiling?" Yu Wenhao asked.
Zhang Tian shook his head and said with a white face: "I don't dare to say it." ”
Yu Wenhao originally wanted to ask about today's funeral process, but before the will arrived, he didn't dare to let so many people know, as for Prince Rui, he is also investigating Prince Rui now, and he can't let him know for the time being.
So he waved his hand to Zhang Tian, "You go down first, continue to keep it secret, and before you have a will, you can't leak half a sentence to anyone, otherwise, you just wait for your head to move!" ”
Zhang Tian knew that he had committed a big crime, his face was already miserable, and he hung his head and responded with a crying voice: "Yes, I don't dare to say it." ”
Around the time of the child, several fast horses came from Beijing, and the King of Wei did not come with a will, but directly alarmed the Ming Yuan Emperor.
Since Emperor Ming Yuan ascended the throne, he has never tried to go out of the city in such a small suit, and now he only brought Gu Simuru's father-in-law and a few forbidden soldiers to come on horseback, which shows that the situation is urgent.
When they arrived, they went straight to Xiling, because they did not alarm the officials who had been keeping vigil for the night.
When Zhang Tian saw Emperor Ming Yuan coming in person, he was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot, and he couldn't even speak.
Emperor Ming Yuan was dressed in plain white filial piety clothes, and his arms were still wrapped with hemp strips, and when he entered the Hall of Grace, his face was dark, and his eyes were like flames.
Yuwenhao and the others hurriedly knelt down to take over, and Emperor Ming Yuan stared at Yuwenhao, "Have you ever gone in and seen it?" ”
Yu Wenhao said: "Back to my father, I only sent people outside the underground palace, and the triple gate of the underground palace was also destroyed, so I didn't dare to go inside." ”
"Gu Si!" Emperor Ming Yuan turned around and gave an order, his face as heavy as iron, "You immediately take a few people in to see if Emperor Huizong's coffin has been moved." ”
"Yes!" Gu Sima received the order.
Yu Wenhao said: "Father, Gu Si is not a member of the royal family, it is not good to break in rashly, so go with him." ”
King An hurriedly said: "Erchen will also go together!" ”
Emperor Ming Yuan allowed, "You should be careful, beware of someone setting up a mechanism inside, after entering the underground palace, you are not allowed to bring fire, above the underground palace, there is a night pearl to illuminate, and there can be no Mars, you know?" ”
Yu Wenhao knew that the upper layer of the underground palace was poured with fire oil, and it was impossible to see Mars, and said, "Erchen knows." ”
Because he was going to enter the underground palace, Yu Wenhao did not let the rest of the forbidden army follow, but let him and King Gu Si'an enter together.
The whole imperial mausoleum covers an area of about 200,000 acres, Xiling has more than 15,000 acres, the square of Xiling and the palace of grace also occupy more than 10 acres of land, and the rest are all used to build tombs.
There is a map of the tomb in the palace of grace, the three of them all look at it before they start to set off, after entering the tomb door, it is a long tomb road, the tomb road is paved with bluestone slabs, after passing the tomb road, enter a palace gate, it is a slightly spacious Shinto.
Shinto is connected to the underground palace, so the floor is replaced with marble, polished flat and smooth, and the torch is held inside, and the floor is bright.
Further on, there is the triple gate of the underground palace.
The triple gate was cast from three pieces of marble, and as the name suggests, the triple gate has been destroyed, as if it had been destroyed by the force of a man's palm.
To destroy this thousand catties of marble, you can't do it unless you have the best internal skills.
The three of them held torches and shone on it, and the damage to the triple door was very serious, and the middle part was shattered, which showed how powerful this person's palm was.
"Prince, I'm afraid you may not be able to break it." Gu Sidao.
Yu Wenhao himself shook his head, "You're right, if you only use palm power, I can't break this triple door." ”
"Let's go inside." King An stopped studying, stood up and said.
