The Ministry of Rites proposed that the Queen Mother's nickname was the Queen Mother of St. An, and the funeral was scheduled for the third day of September.

Because the Emperor Taishang is still there, the coffin of the Empress Dowager Sheng'an will be temporarily parked in the Shinto outside the Eastern Emperor's Mausoleum, just waiting for the death of the Emperor Taishang in the future and burial together.

On the day of the funeral, Emperor Ming Yuan was going to send the funeral in person, but he didn't know that the Emperor Taishang fell in the palace and fell very seriously.

There was a cry in Beijing, and more than 1,000 royal descendants and officials were buried in the funeral, wearing linen and filial piety, all the way out of the city.

There are a total of sixty-four people who lead the flag, and the coffin is also sixty-four people, and the coffin is carried out by a group of filial sons and grandsons, and in the mighty procession, in addition to the funeral people, there is also a car dragon, all of which are transporting funeral goods.

Yu Wenhao and a group of princes were responsible for sending the spirit, and in the carriage in front of them were thirty-two monks, chanting all the way out.

After arriving at the Imperial Tomb, the mourners had to return home, leaving the princes and the funeral staff to wait for the auspicious time to be sent to the Shinto of the Imperial Tomb.

The funeral things had to be put down first, so Yu Wenhao, King An and others were guarding the spirits outside.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, someone ran out of the tomb quickly, running fast, and when he was about to arrive, he almost fell in front of Yu Wenhao, lowered his voice and said in a trembling voice: "There is an urgent report for the lowly position." ”

"Say!" Yu Wenhao saw that he looked flustered, and his heart sank.

"Please allow the humble to come forward and report it!" The man was visibly scared enough.

Yu Wenhao agreed, and the man trembled forward and said in Yu Wenhao's ear: "The tomb door of the Western Emperor's Mausoleum has been deliberately damaged, and I don't know if it can be damaged." ”

Yu Wenhao grabbed the man's collar and was furious, "What? ”

"Please see it for yourself, Your Highness!" The man was so frightened that his legs were shaking.

Yu Wenhao glanced back, the funeral procession was ten steps away, he suppressed the fury in his heart, and said to the person who reported it: "Without the king's order, don't leak half a sentence." ”

"Yes!" The man was already slumped on the ground.

He immediately told his brothers about this, and when the princes heard this, their faces changed greatly, and they hurriedly rode their horses to Xiling, and when they arrived at Xiling, several people turned off their horses and walked in at a gallop.

Xiling is the mausoleum of Emperor Huizong, the tomb door is closed and sealed, the burial of the Queen Mother does not need to go through Xiling, but because of the burial of the Queen Mother, you need to come to worship the incense, tell Emperor Huizong, only to see that the tomb door is damaged.

Yuwen Hao went in in a hurry, only to see that the marble tomb door had been slashed by a knife and axe, and there was a crack in the place where the two doors were opened, although it was still far away from the underground palace, it might not be damaged inside, but it was not excluded that someone had entered.

"Is it a grave robber?" King Qi asked in fear.

"Not like that!" Yu Wenhao looked carefully at the traces of those knives and axes, and said in a deep voice: "Tomb robbers will not make such a big move, and there are special guards around the imperial tomb, and tomb robbers dare to come only when they kill themselves." ”

"Then why break the tomb door? Also, how did this person get in? King An asked.

Yuwen Hao felt strange, destroying the emperor's mausoleum was a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, who would dare to do this? And why do you do that?

King Sun also said suspiciously: "Since this person has come here, it is easy to enter, this tomb door can be opened, and it is not a sealed gate in the underground palace, why destroy it?" Can't you just open the door and go in? ”

Yu Wenhao's face changed, "This person may have been in." ”

King Qi was taken aback, "Oh my God, shouldn't you destroy the underground palace?" ”

Everyone looked at Yu Wenhao, and their expressions were very solemn.

Yu Wenhao thought about it, and sent the imperial tomb guards to come in, and asked them to open the tomb door and go in along the Shinto Road to have a look, if the gate of the underground palace was not destroyed, then this person should not have entered, and the door of the underground palace could not be opened, unless it was destroyed to enter.

When the tomb door was opened, it was pitch black, and when the air cleared for a while, the imperial tomb guards entered with torches.

Not long after, the guard panted and ran out and knelt on the ground to report: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the triple gate of the underground palace has been destroyed, and the villain does not dare to go inside, so please make a decision." ”

Yu Wenhao was furious, as a royal descendant, the imperial tomb was destroyed, what a great shame it was?

Everyone withdrew from the tomb, and Yu Wenhao was furious and reported the accountability of the leader of the imperial tomb.

There was a kneeling in front of him, all of them in a panic.

The commander of the imperial tomb guard is called Zhang Tian, who is a degraded general, who fought with personal grudges in the army, and came here to guard the imperial tomb, and it has been the second year since then.

Zhang Tiandu was frightened, and was reprimanded by Yu Wenhao for a few words before he came back to his senses, knelt on the ground and trembled, crying bitterly: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the ministers have been stationed here for three years, and they dare not slack off, there are people patrolling day and night, except for the annual worship, no outsiders have ever been allowed to come in, and no one has ever stolen into the imperial tomb." ”

Yuwen Hao said angrily: "No one has ever entered, so why are the doors of the tomb and the underground palace destroyed?" If someone enters the underground palace and disturbs the peace of Emperor Huizong, you will not have enough heads. ”

Zhang Tian was paralyzed on the ground, his face was full of despair, the triple doors of the dungeon were all destroyed, could the dungeon not be destroyed?

Everyone retreated first, and sent the king of Wei back to Beijing to report the matter, whether to enter the underground palace to investigate, and the emperor had to give an order.

The Empress Dowager's coffin entered the Tanglin and was placed in a secret room in Shinto, and after the ceremony was completed, the officials in charge of the funeral all retired, leaving only a few princes here.

The destruction of Xiling cannot be publicized yet, so as not to cause an uproar.

The brothers didn't dare to go away, they waited in the Xiang'en Hall outside Xiling, twilight had fallen, Zhang Tian asked someone to bring food, and the brothers didn't have an appetite to eat.

Everyone was furious in their hearts, but they didn't dare to lose their temper here.

King An simply sat on the ground, looked at the moon gradually rising outside, and said, "Old Five, how likely is it to be a tomb robber?" ”

Yu Wenhao's face tightened, his eyes were cold and unusual, "The probability is very low, as I just said, if it is a tomb robber, it is impossible to use a knife and axe to split the tomb door, isn't this deliberately attracting attention?" ”

"What if the tomb robbers don't know that the tomb door can be opened? They may think that they have gone down the door of death and want to split in the middle, which is also a possibility. Sun Wang said.

Yu Wenhao shook his head, "This is even more impossible, how can you be ignorant if you dare to steal the imperial tomb?" There must be advanced tomb robbing methods before they dare to come. ”

King Huai's white face burst into flames, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Who is so bold that he even dares to smash the door of the Imperial Tomb's underground palace." ”

Yuwen Hao's eyes were heavy, "I'm afraid that I didn't just destroy the door of the underground palace, it is possible that I have already entered the tomb, and the guards have just gone in to investigate, and I haven't reached the burial road yet, so no one can predict what kind of damage will be made inside." ”

There is a worst possibility, no one dares to say it, everyone's faces are very solemn, and they are most worried about that possibility.

"Can you go in first and see the funeral road? If the items of the funeral road are gone, it can at least be confirmed that they were stolen. An Wang suggested.

Listening to King An's proposal, King Sun and King Huai both looked at Yu Wenhao.

Yu Wenhao didn't make a decision for a while, and entering the funeral road meant approaching the coffin of Emperor Huizong.
