Ah Hai lifted the curtain of the second carriage and tore off the old eunuch He Changzai. The eunuch was over seventy years old, with a pale complexion, a ghostly face, a face covered with folds, teeth falling out, and snow-white braids standing on the back of his head, like an old northern lady who had lost her hair. He Chang raised his hand to block the scorching sun, as if this zombie-like incomplete body would disappear in the sun in the blink of an eye. When he saw the dragon and phoenix gate of Tanglin, the mausoleum halls with red walls and yellow tiles, he was so shocked that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Zhongshan kicked the old eunuch's ass in disgust: "Wait until you open the coffin of the old witch Cixi and kowtow." ”

Behind the Dragon and Phoenix Gate is the filial piety tomb of Emperor Shunzhi, the first imperial tomb since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and it is also the ancestral tomb of Dongling. Emperor Shunzhi ascended the throne at a young age and was obsessed with believing in Buddhism. The three major suspicious cases in the early Qing Dynasty, that is, the Shunzhi Emperor Wutai Mountain monk, the folk legend is because of Dong Efei, and it is falsely rumored that Dong Xiaowan is false. The common people all think that the filial piety tomb is an empty mound, and there is no emperor coffin to bury, and there is no gold and silver treasure, and it has escaped all kinds of tomb robberies during the Republic of China.

Two days ago, the old eunuch He Changzai had told Ah Hai the secret - Emperor Shunzhi was cremated in the Jingshan Shouhuang Palace with the coffin, following the funeral customs of the Manchurians outside the Guan. The three urns of Emperor Shunzhi, the Empress, and Concubine Dong E were buried in the filial piety mausoleum of Malanyu in Zunhua. In the future, Kangxi, Qianlong, Xianfeng, Tongzhi and other descendants can only sleep around him.

After crossing the Qikong Bridge, the soldiers escorted them to turn the corner, passing by the Qianlong Emperor's sacred merit and holy virtue monument, and headed towards the westernmost Dingling Tomb. There is also a fixed tomb in the Ming Ming Tombs, and the owner of the tomb, Emperor Wanli, was also tragically dug up a few decades later, which was not mentioned for the future. The Qing Dynasty Dingling is the mausoleum of the Xianfeng Emperor. During Xianfeng's reign, there were many disasters, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom occupied half of the country, and the British and French troops entered Beijing and burned the Old Summer Palace, forcing him to escape to the Chengde Summer Resort and die. One of the empresses and concubines who accompanied him on his escape were buried next to his mausoleum in the future: one was the Empress Dowager Ci'an, and the other was the Empress Dowager Cixi, Yehenara.

The Empress Dowager Ci'an is the empress of Emperor Xianfeng. Cixi is just a concubine, but she is the mother of the Tongzhi Emperor, and her mother is more expensive than her son, so she became the queen mother. Ci'an and Cixi were respected side by side, and they had been in power for 20 years - China was in the hands of two women at the same time. It's just that the Empress Dowager Ci'an has a docile temperament, entered the earth early, and was blessed by misfortune and escaped the memory of tomb robbers.

The officer said to Ah Hai respectfully: "Your Excellency the army commander is waiting in the Longen Hall of the Empress Dowager Ci'an's mausoleum. ”

Zhongshan was a little nervous, as if he was going to a Hongmen banquet. Ah Hai did not change color, passed through the double horse stele, the Shinto stele pavilion, the three-hole stone bridge and the Longen Gate, stepped on the phoenix in the dragon under the Dan Majesty, and then stepped on the Longen Palace.

Xiao Mu walked under the scorching sun, already sweating, and when he arrived in the dark hall, he immediately became cool and couldn't help sneezing.

The throne in the main hall has been removed, the screens and tablets have been swept away, but telephone lines have been erected, and military maps have been pasted on the walls, as if it were a headquarters. The general sitting in the center, wearing the uniform of the National Revolutionary Army, was about forty years old, his head was half bald, and his face was full of pockmarks.

After Ah Hai defected from Taibai Mountain, he made friends with many Beiyang warlords, including this general nicknamed "Sun Haozi". Two years ago, Sun Dianying lived under Zhang Zongchang, sent people under the fence, was in hardship, and was sponsored by Ah Hai's funds. There were several of Sun Dianying's political enemies, who were also killed by assassins sent by Ah Hai.

Seeing the visit of an old friend, Sun Dianying got up to greet him and personally moved the Taishi chair to invite the guests to sit down. He also ordered the orderlies to make tea, and treated Zhongshan, Xiaomu and the old eunuch as honored guests.

Ah Hai clasped his fists with both hands: "Handsome, Ah Hai is polite." ”

"Where! Brother Ahai, what good things are there to find me this time? ”

Sun Dianying laughed, Ah Hai suddenly praised him to the same status as Zhang Dashuai and Wu Dashuai, wouldn't he be overjoyed?

"Marshal, you are stationed in the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty, the headquarters is located in the Longen Hall of the Empress Dowager Ci'an, and the mausoleum of the Empress Dowager Cixi is next door, and Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by!"

"Hahaha...... Those who know me, Ah Haiye! "Sun Dianying's word Kuiyuan, since he was a child, he dances knives and guns, and has the air of a ranger, "I can't hide it, my old grandson was also forced out!" Who doesn't want to compete on the battlefield in style? Who doesn't want to lay down a big city like Beijing and Tianjin? Now the situation is tight, and we are looking to change the dynasty. I, a small prince, if I stand on the wrong team and follow the wrong overlord, I can't move my head in an instant? ”

"I think it's a good move for the marshal to switch to the National Revolutionary Army."

A few months ago, Sun Dianying was the commander of the 14th Army of the Beiyang warlord Zhilu Allied Army, and last month he became the commander of the 12th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, all relying on the more than 10,000 people under his command.

"But Chang Kaishen will do something to me sooner or later." Sun Dianying walked to the door of the Longen Hall and pointed to the magnificent cemetery building, "Since this is the case, it is better to vote for him!" Maybe digging out a mountain of gold and silver can also solve my urgent need! ”

"Sun Dashuai, Ah Hai came to Tanglin this time to help you!"

"I'm worried about how to start?"

"I have some experience in digging graves." Ah Hai looked at the eaves of the palace wall and said, "Tomb robbing should not be done with brute force, although explosives are unstoppable, if they are not used properly, all treasures may be blown into powder." Tomb robberies must be carried out according to the doorway to ensure the safety of themselves and their treasures. The first thing we have to do is to determine which mausoleum to excavate? Dongling has five emperors' tombs, and countless tombs of concubines, princesses and princesses, which must be solved one by one. ”

"Naturally, it is the mausoleum of the Empress Dowager Cixi!"

The scar on Ah Hai's face flashed gold: "Back then, the mausoleums of the Empress Dowager Ci'an and the Empress Dowager Cixi were built at the same time, and the two were close to each other, and the shape was almost identical, just like a pair of twin sisters, showing the equal status of the two palaces in the east and west. But after the Empress Dowager Ci'an was buried, Cixi was not willing to enjoy the same posthumous treatment as her 'sister', so in the 21st year of Guangxu, she ordered the mausoleum she had built for 22 years - including Fangcheng, Minglou, Baocheng, Longen Palace, East and West Matching Palace, East and West Furnace and so on all demolished and rebuilt. So what looks the same on the surface is actually very different. ”

"I know that there are a lot of doorways, and it's not that experts can't do this job." Sun Dianying came from the Central Plains and was reckless, and he had worked as bandits, and he was indispensable to deal with tomb robbers, "My Sun Mazi swears here, as long as Brother Ah Hai can help me open the mausoleum of the Empress Dowager Cixi and dig up all the treasures, you can get twenty percent!" ”

"The connoisseurs are here!" Ah Hai lightly stretched his ape arm and put his arm around Xiao Mu and the old eunuch's shoulders, "Without these two, no one would be able to open the mausoleum of the Empress Dowager Cixi." ”
