Chapter 256: The Empress's Tomb

The new sun has risen, once again illuminating the entire Qishan, the corpses of the soldiers on both sides in the primeval forests of the north and south and the ivory valley have not yet been disposed of and divided, and the people and soldiers still have to work hard after breakfast, and the corpses of the soldiers on both sides must be buried as soon as possible.

The new empress of the ancient kingdom of Loulan can take office, with Princess An Ran officially entering the court under the follow-up of Eunuch Xue and several others, after the new empress is seated safely, Eunuch Xue can shout, and the empress has ...... to the palace.

All the ministers in the court knelt on the ground and shouted in unison, long live the empress, long live, long live.

Empress Qishan said peacefully: All Aiqing is flat, there is a morning play, and the morning play is .......

For a while, the six ministers and deputy histories played one after another, and everything revolved around the functions of the ministries, and the ministries began to make some policy adjustments to the changes in the national conditions, which were of course beneficial to the people, and the empress was over-approved.

Empress An Ran also issued a holy order, that is, once the dead and wounded national soldiers were divided, the cemetery was set up in the open space in the north of Qishan, where the location was quiet and good, and the state funeral would be held two days later.

The dead Han soldiers will all be buried in the southern desert outside Qishan tomorrow, so that the bones of the Han soldiers cannot enter Qishan.

After the imperial order was issued, the court meeting was over, and the Empress of Qishan An Ran and the Praetorian Guards had a mission, that is, to accompany Lan Qi'er to choose the cemetery, so everyone immediately went to the harem, to Lan Qi'er's palace, and when everything was ready, Tu Long, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, led fifty soldiers and two officials of the Ministry of Rites with tools, vehicles, and horses to the Peacock River next to Shanjun City.

Lan Qi'er's personal location is so familiar to Empress Enron, this place is the place where the two worshiped the first emperor last time, and the distance is only fifty meters away, it seems that the tomb of the first emperor must be around.

Lan Qi'er personally commanded the soldiers in the carriage to test the excavation to determine whether the chosen place had escaped the tomb of the first emperor and whether it had escaped the sun totem pile.

Tulong, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, immediately ordered the twenty soldiers to unload the tools on the cart, and began to dig ten meters outward at the point indicated by Lan Qi'er.

It can be said that I don't know if I don't dig, everyone dug down an uneven depth around the dots, most of them were blocked by the hard stones under the yellow sand, and I couldn't dig down, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Tu Longke, saw it, the empress saw it, Lan Qi'er also saw it, everyone was puzzled for a while, there is all yellow sand here, how can there be a hard stone layer?

Tulong, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, immediately asked for instructions, asked Lan Qier whether to change the ground and dig, Lan Qier said: Don't use it first, there is a hard layer is not afraid, the soldiers can try it again according to the perimeter of the hard layer, nearly twenty or thirty soldiers can start to excavate with the hard layer again, less than a quarter of an hour has passed, the yellow sand has been dug out continuously, and the stone mound has appeared, everyone knows that this is not a hard stone layer, it turned out to be a stone mound, but the stone mound really does not know the area of the multi-occurrence for a while.

Lan Qi'er looked at the carriage, and he didn't speak, so the soldiers continued to dig, an hour passed, the soldiers could dig out the doorway, the north, south and west are already stone mounds, it is not able to dig, only the east can be dug down for a while, stone and sand map, dozens of soldiers are concentrated in the east for a while, digging into the yellow sand has been three meters, the yellow sand has strong mobility, resulting in the soldiers have to take the east as the center of the circle, five meters to the east through a car of logs, in order to block the quicksand.

The quicksand was blocked, and strange things appeared, the size of the stone mound was solid from time to time, and when the two soldiers were digging, the spade actually dug into the stone crack, and there was a gap, which made everyone work harder, and the sand on the east side of the stone mound was dug down nearly two meters, and the depth reached nearly five meters at this time.

The stone crack can appear as a whole at this time, the stone crack is huge, the width is as much as two or three meters, and the height is nearly two meters five, due to the joint efforts of everyone, the yellow sand in the stone crack appears to flow to everyone, with the quicksand so first-class, the stone crack is clearer, and now it can be determined, not only the surface of the seam, this seam does not know to what extent.

Lan Qi'er also leaned on the upper stone hill, implying that the soldiers dug according to the stone cracks to see it, at this time there were not too many people in the military building, a few soldiers were enough, and a few soldiers began to dig along the gap into the stone mound.

The width and height of the inner crack of the stone mound are also the same as the outside, several soldiers dug into as much as four or five meters, and the straight line and then dug is the stone resistance, several soldiers began to dig to the right again, and dug into as many as five or six meters, the inner wall crack not only did not become smaller, it seemed that it should be expanded some, and from time to time it was also blocked by the stone, because at this time the bee-eating had already appeared in the corner, the stone crack was already dark, and there was no light. The crowd can only withdraw from reporting the situation for a while.

Lan Qiqi sewing people heard it, Ma Shang signaled to light the candle to test it, several soldiers cooperated with each other and began to dig again, with the excavation, the stone crack appeared two right-angled side turns, the stone crack is really distinctive!

The crack of the stone mound can appear in front of everyone, a number of soldiers in the cooperation with each other digging the quicksand in the stone crevice, a few cubic meters of quicksand was quickly transported out of the stone crack by the soldiers, the shovel is constantly moving, suddenly there is a wind, the wind is due to the convection.

Of course, the soldiers sensed that the yellow sand had already shown its last flow under the candlelight, and the candlelight illuminated not only the stone crevice wall for a while, but also through the quicksand gap in front, and the light in front was so far-reaching, the soldiers could judge that the stone mound was originally empty, and the stone was a natural stone cave.

Everyone is still digging out the sand, as the sand is transported out again, the cave wall road is clean, there is no sound of the shovel hitting the stone wall, but there is a sound in the cave, this sound is familiar to everyone, yes, it is the sound of the water flow, the candlelight is moving with the footsteps of the soldiers, from time to time several soldiers have walked to the mouth of the stone cave wall, the candlelight only illuminates a part of the stone cave, because I don't know the specific situation in the whole stone cave, for the sake of safety, everyone quietly withdrew, and reported the discovery to the commander again, waiting for it to be clear.

Tulong, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, received the will of Lan Qi'er and Empress Enron, and immediately led a number of soldiers along the stone cave wall with a sword in hand, and more than 20 people could be said to have a candle and weapons in each hand.

The candlelight in the convection breeze in the cave flickered and dimmed, everyone after nearly half an hour of careful inspection, there is an answer, this underground stone cave is a gourd type, the height of the hole is about three or four meters high, the area of one side of the two holes is only six or seven hundred square meters, the small one also has a four or five hundred square meters, the size of the main hole next to the occasional small attached hole, the big one is only ten to twenty square meters, the small one also has three or five square meters, and there are large and small holes in each small hole, there are quicksand with the hole to enter it.

The river is even more distinctive, impartially divides the size of the main hole into two, flowing slowly, which is a pure underground river for the desert, this river has been explored by everyone, but it is unfathomable, and the stones can not be fruitful.

There are large pieces of moss in the gourd cave just by the river, there are the characteristics of the strange cave on and under the hole, the stalagmites that can be formed in ten thousand years, the stalactites can be seen everywhere, with the fire candlelight, it can be said that it is colorful, there is really no sign of any creature found for a while, it seems that this cave is a closed karst cave!

Everything is clear, all are under the control of the soldiers, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Tulong, immediately went out of the cave to report it, Lan Qi'er and Empress An Ran were surprised when they heard it, so the twenty soldiers were left outside the cave, and the others carried Lan Qi'er into the cave together, because there were soldiers standing with fire candles around the cave, the cave is now known by a glance, and all eyes have entered the eyes of everyone.

This stone cave is really a natural strange cave, Lan Qi'er sitting on the rattan chair immediately became a lot more energetic, carefully watched every part of the inner room of the cave, and kept muttering, good, good, really good, is this cave specially prepared for me by God, this hole is my coffin, it is a coffin that is immortal for ten thousand years.

Empress Enron and a few other people have good ears, and they have heard Lan Qi'er's chatter clearly on the side, Empress Enron answered, here, you want to live here!

Lan Qi'er turned her head to Empress Enron, with a smile on her face, and said: Isn't it good here, sheltered from the wind and rain, and flowing water passing by, the area is still large, I think it's good.

Empress Enron said: Okay, you say it's good, then how do you want to decorate it, say it, what do you want, what do you need to add here, the two of them talk about it, people who don't know know the real situation, and they think they want to decorate a new house in a different environment?

Lan Qi'er said: Okay, take me and walk carefully, the officials of the Ministry of Rites listen to me, what do I need in my room?

Lan Qi'er's rattan chair moved in the footsteps of the soldiers, and she arranged it for herself, ten ten thousand years of lamps in the stone cave, four in each of the large and small caves, a total of eight in the two holes, one on the left and right in front of the bookcase, a total of ten, a bookcase, a stone chair but there must be a cool setting, a set of tables, chairs, rice and tea utensils, the bookcase is about three or four flat, and the upper enough can be placed some books and their own jade seal Shangfang sword, the seat is to sit on their own, and they have to sit when they die.

Build a stone bridge in the middle of the two holes, it is best to put a large number of fish in the flowing water, and there is no need for a bed a few meters behind the seat, and you can use a cloth to cover it to show a resting place.

Set up a horse fence stone not far from the entrance of the cave, and want the BMW to perch on it, life and death by it, and the size of the hole can be placed in my clothes box to wrap it.

Lan Qi'er's paper confession ended with everyone coming down, it can be said that it is really ordinary, that is, the lamp oil of the ten 10,000-year-old lamps will be prepared for some time, and a lot of camels will die.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites can record them one by one, and the direction is also clearly remembered, Lan Qi'er and Empress An Ran have made it clear that their jade seal Shangfang sword does not want anyone to move it at will, it was given to him by the emperor's own husband, and it must always be kept by his side, it is his most precious thing.

Empress Enron understood what she meant, so the two nodded knowingly and smiled.

Lan Qi'er thought that everything was arranged, so she said: Okay, let's go, get out of the room.

A group of dozens of people exited the stone mound cave one after another, all of this was to be kept secret, Lan Qi'er didn't want her cave house to be exposed to the desert first, and immediately ordered the soldiers to bury it back to its original state, and the stone cave was not seen by the Peacock River.

The team of dozens of people left, but it was impossible for their whereabouts not to be discovered by the scouts of various countries, but for some reason for a while, the scouts of various countries did not have digging tools, so they could not dig it, and the sand at the stone mound was still sand, so they could only watch and leave.

The Han army was defeated in Qishan City, and the countries of the Western Regions already knew that although Generalissimo Zhao had no face to play in the dynasty, but this was the case, so he had to send his own generals to ask Liu Xun, the king of Han, to ask for guilt, and Liu Xun, the emperor of Han, still recognized Generalissimo Zhao, after all, Generalissimo Zhao made great contributions at the beginning, and it was up to this person to stabilize the control of the army.

Emperor Liu of the Han Dynasty wrote a letter to him, telling him that the defeat of the army would be determined, and the old general would be able to support him, and the western frontier would be handled by Wang Guifei for a while, and it would not be too late for the country to strengthen the army and recruit it again in the future.

General Zhao got the emperor's order, and led hundreds of cronies to return to Chang'an, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Han Dynasty died in the Qishan Mountain in the Western Regions, and the families of the national soldiers could only hope for the return of their children for a while, but they heard that they were still stationed in the western Xinjiang!
