Chapter 629: The Jade Mound Finally Turns into Dust

The tomb of Princess Jiurong originally did not belong to Jialing, but was adjacent to Jialing, and when Taizong, the pine forest between the two cemeteries was cut down, and the outer wall of the cemetery was rebuilt, and the princess tomb was incorporated into Jialing.

Unlike the Imperial Tomb, Jialing is in disrepair and the park is overgrown with weeds. During the period of Taizu and Taizong, there were as many as 500 people in the Jialing Guarding Army, and during the Gaozong period, only more than 100 people were left in a general banner to guard, and when it came to the time of the first emperor, the Jialing Guarding Army only had two small banners with a total of 20 people.

Jialing covers an area of 1,000 acres, there are only 20 people guarding, Jialing is deserted, no one cares, day after day, the tomb guards are here to mess around.

Not long ago, a large number of craftsmen came to Jialing, Jialing was even more chaotic, although Zhanyu received this errand, but only came here for two turns, and then lived in the official post two or three miles away from here, of course, the delicate and expensive horse master will not live in this kind of desolate and deserted place.

This time it was blown up from the tomb of Princess Jiurong, but the mausoleum guards couldn't tell who brought the gunpowder in, and it was said that there was a muffled sound, then a loud noise, and then, a fire burned, and the raging fire devoured the trees and weeds in the cemetery, spreading towards the queen mother's cemetery.

The craftsmen and the mausoleum guards have put out the fire, the fire burned for a full hour, until the fire is extinguished, Jining Hou took people to check, the tomb of Princess Jiurong was blown apart, Jining Hou let people go in to check, the tomb road has been blocked by the falling sand and stones, but no one dares to dig it, how can the royal tomb be dug if it is dug by digging?

Jining Hou sighed, the little princess who died a hundred years ago didn't know which immortal she had offended in the underworld, and she would not be at peace after death.

He was sighing, when he heard a shout, and when he asked, he realized that the horse master Zhanyu was actually here today!

Of course, Zhanyu will not come to the princess's tomb, he went to the queen mother's mausoleum that is being built.

Zhanyu's two entourages howled and cried, rummaging through the ruins while shouting loudly for the Horse Master.

The Marquis of Jining squinted his eyes, called a small flag guarding the tomb, and asked, "When did the Zhan Horse come?" ”

Xiao Qi's face was black and white, his eyes were blood-red from thick smoke, he looked very terrifying, he said in a hoarse voice: "Master Ma has already come, and he also told us to be careful when we patrol at night, now there is wood everywhere here, don't go to water." ”

Jining Hou frowned, Zhanyu is here, and it happens to be burning here.

The fire may have been accidentally started by a dry weather, but what about an explosion? How did the gunpowder come from in the Princess's Mausoleum?

Suddenly, someone exclaimed: "Master Pony, what's wrong with you?" ”

Jining Hou was startled, shook his strong body, trotted over, and then he was dumbfounded.

It was a charred corpse, burned beyond recognition, like the others. The only difference is that there are several gold and jade things on this person's body, which Zhanyu's entourage recognizes, and these are all worn by the horse master today.

When the news came into the palace, the Empress Dowager was taken aback, and she asked Mama Ouyang: "Is it really the princess's tomb that was blown up?" Why did you blow up the princess's tomb? ”

Mama Ouyang was also confused.

If it is the Empress Dowager's Mausoleum or Empress Xie's Tomb that is bombed, it is possible, these two will definitely have enemies when they are alive, and it is very likely that their mausoleum will be blown up after death, but what about the little princess? It is said that he was just a child when he died.

"The slaves and maids heard that there were tomb robbers among the people, maybe they wanted to steal the treasures in the tombs......

Mama Ouyang swallowed back halfway through her words, if it was really a tomb robber, then she would also steal the queen's tomb, not the small princess's tomb.

Emperor Ming He didn't have much idea about it, but she was just a princess who had been dead for more than a hundred years, who knew if it was a gunpowder explosion, but what did it matter to him.

As for the horses, death is death.

The eldest princess Fangyi welcomed back Zhanyu's body, and Zhanyu's funeral was undertaken by the princess's mansion, and it is said that the eldest princess cried and fainted when she saw the corpse.

Huo Roufeng's month was getting bigger, and Zhanhuai personally went to the racecourse to pick up Xie Honglin. What everyone didn't expect was that Xie Honglin had just arrived, and Mrs. Zhong also came.

Like last time, it wasn't until Mrs. Zhong entered Shaanxi that Zhanhuai received a letter from Fujian.

He was anxious and angry, the world was not peaceful at the moment, Mrs. Zhong had to come all the way over, what if something happened on the road?

He complained to Mrs. Zhong a hundred times in his heart, and then to the Duke of Min fifty times, and then ...... Mrs. Zhong arrived.

During the extraordinary period, in order to hide people's eyes, Zhanhuai and Zhanyu did not go out of the city to pick them up, Mrs. Zhong didn't care, when she saw Zhanyu, she was stunned, and tears burst out of her eyes.

From Zhanyu's entry into Beijing to today, how many years he has left Fujian, Mrs. Zhong has not seen this son for many years.

After Zhanyu entered Beijing, Min Guogong told Mrs. Zhong that since then, he should have given birth to a son, and he would treat Zhanyu as if he was dead.

As early as a few years ago, Mrs. Zhong didn't dare to think about it, she thought that what she could wait for in this life was the coffin of her second son.

But now, her son is standing in front of her, and the young man has grown into a gentle and elegant humble gentleman.

Mrs. Zhong looked at Zhan Yu in front of her and couldn't say a word.

Someone came over quickly and handed a pigeon to the inlaid cui, and the cooing of the pigeon broke the solemn atmosphere.

Everyone looked at Huo Roufeng, Huo Roufeng was taking a small bamboo tube from Zhu Cui's hand, she grinned and said, "Don't worry, I'll take a look." ”

Then, she unfolded the note and glanced at it, her mouth twitched, and she had to say hard under the puzzled eyes of her mother-in-law and second uncle: "Hehe, I blew up the princess's tomb, second brother, you accidentally burned it to death......"

Mrs. Zhong subconsciously touched her ears, she thought she had misheard, Zhan Yu smiled bitterly, and Zhan Huai held Huo Roufeng's waist and said to the confused Mrs. Zhong and Zhan Yu: "Mother-in-law is still waiting in the house, let's go back to the house quickly." ”

After returning home, everyone saw each other, and after a while, everyone looked at Huo Roufeng together, first of all, Xie Honglin, who had just gotten the news, she asked: "Xiaofeng, let the second master of the in-laws cheat to death, there is no problem with this, but why did you blow up the princess's tomb, you must give an explanation today, otherwise I will not have the face to go to see the ancestors and ancestors." ”

It stands to reason that Xie Honglin should not question her daughter in front of her mother-in-law's family, but this matter is too big, she must ask, and she must ask clearly in front of the Zhan family.

Huo Roufeng looked at her mother, and then at Mrs. Zhong, who was also looking at her, she sniffled aggrievedly, and turned her head pitifully to look at Zhanhuai.

Xie Honglin coughed dryly and said, "You see that he is useless, Pengju may not even know about this." ”

"But the second brother knows, right, the second brother?" Huo Roufeng made a sweet smile and looked at Zhanyu.

This incident was indeed arranged by Zhanyu, but he only arranged to set a fire, and did not order the tomb to be blown up with gunpowder.

Although the princess's tomb is not big, it is not small, and the royal mausoleum is very strong, to blow up the princess's tomb, you must bury a large amount of gunpowder in the tomb and outside the tomb, until someone ignites the gunpowder, in order to blow up the entire mausoleum from the bottom to the top, this is not one or two people can do more than a dozen catties of gunpowder, nor can ordinary people do it.

There must be a large number of manpower and financial resources in this, but there must be masters who are good at this.

Of course, as long as you have money, you can do all this, Huo Jiu wrote a letter in the northwest, and the lady Huo in the capital could let people do it, but what did Huo Jiu do when he blew up the princess's tomb in a good manner?

Although Princess Jiurong is a woman, she is the only daughter of the empress, whether it is the Xie family or the Gao family, they have to burn incense and kowtow to her every New Year's Day.
