Chapter 490: Lao Feng's Speculation
"Do you know the secrets of this cave?" Hua asked as he walked.
"Listen to that Lao Feng, this is a warlock named Kui Lao Kun in the Ming Dynasty, who built a mausoleum for Zhu Yikeng, the younger brother of King Huai at that time."
"Suzuki? SUZUKI? ”
"What is the tearing posture, it is the mausoleum, the tomb of the emperor!" I said out loud.
Hua Hu smiled.
"Honey, this isn't a mausoleum." She held out her index finger and swung it vigorously.
"It's not a mausoleum, so what is it?"
I suddenly remembered that the black coffin on the coffin just now was where the "Shengmen" in Lao Feng's theory was located, and the characters lying in it were also neatly dressed, as well as the wat board of the King of Luqiu.
In the briefing, Lao Feng provided a set of his own speculations on how to build this karst cave tomb in history.
However, although Shen Yu criticized him for feudal superstition, in his official report, the writing is still quite objective - judge carefully if there is evidence, and do not judge if there is no evidence.
Of course, perhaps this report has also been reviewed and revised by the cautious Lin Ying.
I'm an editor, so when I read the briefing, I also pondered Lao Feng's meaning between the lines.
Although Lao Feng didn't say it explicitly, he actually had a logical and historical inference in his heart.
This still has to start with the Huai King of the Ming Dynasty.
The Huai Dynasty is a descendant of Ming Renzong. After the death of Zhu Zaikuo, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty royal family, the only son Zhu Yijing should act on behalf of the Huai Wang, but he must first keep filial piety for his father for three years, and then officially canonize the prince by the imperial court.
However, when Zhu Yijing saw the expiration of the three-year filial piety period, he died in a timely and appropriate manner. After his death, he was officially posthumously crowned King Huai, and his nickname was "Zhao".
After Zhu Yijing's death, the vein of King Huaigong was completely cut off. So the court had to look for other collateral lines to inherit the throne according to the rules, and the first place was naturally Zhu Zaijian, the younger brother of Zhu Zaijian, who had been canonized as the king of Jianchang County.
There were many vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty, but except for Chengzu Zhu Di, Han King Zhu Gaoxu and Ning King Zhu Chenhao, there were few people who rebelled or coveted the throne.
Even if Ming Chengzu won the battle of Jingjing, among the ministers loyal to Emperor Jianwen, there were still fierce men like Fang Xiaoru who were not afraid of death, and in order to maintain the bloodline of the orthodox emperor, he insulted Zhu Di on the spot, and was not afraid of being killed by the ten clans.
As for the rebellion of King Han and King Ning in the back, it was nonsense at best. Especially King Ning, who had been preparing for more than ten years, was actually suppressed by a passing official who did not have a single soldier.
Moreover, King Ning himself was captured alive and sent to Nanjing, and in front of the public, he was released by his cousin emperor, and he was chased around the scene like a monkey, and finally he was arrested again, and his head was cut off after being insulted.
The reason why the Ming Dynasty did not have the rebellion of the eight kings in the Western Jin Dynasty was partly because the vassal kings had no office and power, were raised by the imperial court, and in addition to being fed all day long and powerless, it was also related to another kind of mental control.
This kind of mind control is called Cheng Zhu Lixue.
The Ming Dynasty was a dynasty that implemented Cheng Zhu Lixue into its bones, with a descendant and a long-term successor, which was a golden rule believed in by both the court and the people.
Although now we show that the Jinyi Wei and the East and West Factories were rampant, on the other hand, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were also the most restricted group of emperors in all dynasties.
The emperor will have many children, and because of the large number, he will have a preference. But no matter how much the emperor prefers him, as long as he is not a concubine or the eldest son, he has almost no chance of winning the throne.
Even if you do all the tricks, it's impossible.
Because as long as you violate this convention, then the ministers and officials will fly like snowflakes, and many people will even risk their lives to prevent the emperor from having the idea of changing traditions.
They will be very good at writing, or they will not hesitate to insult the emperor in the book, and the idiom of "wine and wealth" is the product of the official insulting the Wanli Emperor.
If the emperor doesn't watch the recital, that's okay. They would collectively kneel outside the palace and weep so loudly that the emperor could not eat or sleep.
If the emperor ordered these people to be dragged away, they would be killed on stone pillars at the cost of their lives, or they would be given a hundred and ten strokes of the court staff, the gate of the palace of violent corpses, or they would be sent to prison and die a tragic death in prison.
But they didn't care, they felt that dying to defend the rule of law was the greatest honor of their lives.
This is the power of tradition, so emperors who favor young sons, such as Ming Chengzu and Ming Shenzong, did not break the tradition in the end, and still let their sons who did not like inherit the throne.
Therefore, as a prince in the Ming Dynasty, as long as there are no problems with his health and he can survive until the death of the old emperor, he is basically stable.
The royal family is like this, and those who are vassal kings have to follow the ancestral system.
However, compared with the situation of the royal family, being a vassal king in the Ming Dynasty can live in a corner of peace, silently, as long as you don't make a fuss and want to usurp the throne and seize power, as long as you close the gate of the palace, no one will pay attention to what you have done.
Therefore, there are not many cases of vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty breaking the law.
Lao Feng's speculation is based on this. His speculation was that the death of Zhu Yijing, the king of Huaizhao, should be a little strange.
If the cause of Zhu Yijing's death is in doubt, then Zhu Zaijian, the uncle who is the beneficiary, is naturally the first suspect.
But Zhu Zaijian was a prince for fifteen years, and after his death, he was nicknamed "Shun". He passed the throne to his son Zhu Yiju. It can be seen that Zhu Yijing's death in history is simply ignored.
But just because no one cares about it doesn't mean that the perpetrator will be at ease.
Therefore, whether Zhu Yiju had other ambitions or wanted to cover up the fact that King Shun killed King Zhao back then, he began to actively do "plans for eternity".
As long as his descendants become emperors, all the facts become legitimate, just like when Ming Chengzu robbed his nephew of the throne, he not only became the emperor, but also passed on the descendants, and later called the temple as the ancestor, and always enjoyed blood food in the temple.
Zhu Yiju is a smart man, and he knows that he can't rebel like the confused King Ning. He felt that if he wanted to seize the throne, there was actually a way to keep quiet.
Such as Feng Shui, such as curses.
I'm secretly working on my own stuff, and no one will notice.
But Zhu Yiju was thoughtful, and he still built a firewall for himself, and this firewall was his younger brother Zhu Yikeng, the king of Luqiu.
Zhu Yikeng has no descendants, so building a tomb in his name can not only bless his children and grandchildren, but also if he is discovered by the imperial court, he can also push 625 and only bear the charge of a royal brother who is not strict.
It's a perfect plan.
According to Feng Yuanheng's inference, Zhu Yikeng should be buried in the "Hugh Gate". Hugh Gate is one of the three gates, in ancient times, Hugh in addition to rest, more meaning of well-being and goodness.
If the entire cave tomb is the Lizhu Cave, then the Humen is the dragon ball in the Lizhu Cave.
