"In addition to the Qin Clan's Tombsmith Clan, the second family: Style Lei. The Lei family originated in Jiangxi, and served the Qing Dynasty royal family for seven generations, serving as the head of the internal affairs office, that is, the chief royal architect. They designed the Dongling and Xiling Tombs, the Old Summer Palace, the Summer Palace, the Chengde Summer Resort, and rebuilt the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City. The emperor's yin house, yang house, and back garden were all rounded by their family. ”

Ye Ke nodded frequently as he listened: "Style Lei, I've heard of it." The eighth generation of Lei Xiancai, a few years ago, I also had a relationship with him. ”

"The third family: the royal feng shui master - the Li family." Qin Beiyang pointed to this tomb and said, "This family, proficient in Zhou Yi, Ziwei, astrology, plum blossoms and other theories, is not only responsible for dividing gold points and determining the location of the royal tomb, but also calculating good days and auspicious days for the royal family's weddings and funerals." It is said that the major events of the imperial court's conquest of Lile and the victory or defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, the Empress Dowager Cixi had to ask him to divinate and read the hexagram before deciding. And the family of this royal feng shui master is the descendant of Li Chunfeng in the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Li Chunfeng?" There was another reflection on Haneda's glasses, "A famous master of yin and yang? Tang Li Chunfeng, who co-authored the prophecy book "Tui Bei Tu" with Yuan Tiangang? ”

"It's the people! Legend has it that this "Tui Bei Tu" predicted the general trend of history after the Tang Dynasty, including the decline of the late Qing Dynasty, the demise of the imperial system, and the establishment and chaos of the Republic of China. He also predicted that China in the 21st century would rise to the occasion of its revival -- I can't see it anyway. Li Chunfeng is not only a public opinion scholar, but also proficient in astronomical calculations, and is the royal feng shui master of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, which can be regarded as a legendary figure. ”

Haneda Taiki showed a serious and fascinated exaggerated expression on the face of the Japanese: "Yes, the Japanese Yin-Yang Tao is derived from the ancient Chinese Feng Shui Zhou Yi and the Five Elements of Yin and Yang. ”

"Li Chunfeng's descendants, the Ming and Qing dynasties were loyal to the royal family. The last generation, it is said that he is a celebrity in front of Emperor Guangxu, perhaps for the same reason as Concubine Zhen, who belongs to the imperial party and is on the wrong side. In the year of Gengzi, on the eve of the Empress Dowager Cixi's escape from Beijing, she ordered the feng shui master to kill the whole family and behead all the door. ”

"What a pity!"

"It is said that only one boy from the Li family survived, but unfortunately his whereabouts are unknown. Li Chunfeng's earth-shattering technique may have been lost. Qin Beiyang looked at the other five living people in this tomb, "According to the status of the royal family, the feng shui master naturally ranks first, because he can predict the general situation of the world, influence the emperor's major decisions, and are often involved in palace intrigues; Style Lei, ranked second, they are responsible for architectural design, drawing and hot samples. And our gravesmith clan, but ranked third, accompanied by the last seat, responsible for building a mausoleum on the site and creating a tomb beast. ”

"It's probably the difference between mental and physical work!" Ouyang Anna interjected, deliberately mocking Qin Beiyang, "The King of Craftsmen!" ”

"Mencius Yun: Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people. I was born a craftsman, a standard laborer! Qin Beiyang moved his joints, showed off the tendons and flesh of his arms and chest, and laughed at himself generously, "This ranking is just like the order of respect and humility of Shinong Industry and Commerce - Feng Shui Master is comparable to the world, which is equivalent to a scholar; Style thunder intensive farming, equivalent to farming; Our gravesmith clan is united in heart and hand, which is the standard work, and must be ranked last. ”

Qin Beiyang was also thinking in his heart--no wonder, the gravesmith clan has the lowest treatment, the least Yulu, and the worst mix, but it is the most dangerous and the shortest lifespan!

However, Qi Yuanshan said a fair word: "But when it comes to protecting the underground palace and the emperor's coffin, no one can compare to the tomb beast made by the Qin family." ”

Speaking of which, the nine colors echoed the snow-white antlers that shook it.

"Well, I'm going to be dizzy by you!" Ouyang Anna stared at the beads of her eyes, looking at the five hundred civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty in fear, as if they would move at any time, "Royal craftsman, tell me, what is going on with these people?" ”

"They were loyal ministers and righteous men who accompanied the funeral of the Ming emperor."

Ye Kenan furrowed his trademark eyebrows: "Which Ming Dynasty emperor?" From Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, to Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of the deceased country, which one of them was buried on the island? ”

"Yes!"

Qin Beiyang led everyone around the military formation of five hundred people, and passed through the door of the next tomb, only to see a stone tablet carried on it.

He pointed to the dense text on the tablet and said three words loudly: "Emperor Jianwen!" ”

"Emperor Jianwen?" Ye Kenan couldn't help but touch the Yin text on the stone tablet, "Is it the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunwen who was robbed of the throne by his uncle Zhu Di?" ”

Qin Beiyang pointed to the words "Reform Yuan Jianwen" in the inscription and said: "Yes, Emperor Jianwen is the eldest grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and the son of Zhu Biao, the crown prince. Due to Zhu Biao's early death, Zhu Yunwen inherited his grandfather's throne after Zhu Yuanzhang's death and changed his name to Yuan Jianwen. ”

Speaking of history, Ye Kenan also talked eloquently: "Well, Emperor Jianwen is dedicated to Confucianism, and there are great Confucians like Fang Xiaoru by his side, who demand himself according to the ideal standards of the ancient sages. And the first major event after he ascended the throne was to cut down the feudal domain and abolish Zhu Yuanzhang's canonization of vassal kings all over the country. And one of the most powerful vassal kings was Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who occupied Beiping. ”

"Zhu Di is the fourth uncle of Emperor Jianwen, who launched the Battle of Jingjing, which lasted for three years in the Great War between the North and the South. In the end, the uncle triumphed over the nephew. Qin Beiyang pointed to the "Jinchuan Gate Change" in the middle of the inscription and said, "You see, it is very clear here that Zhu Sui, the king of the valley, and Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao, betrayed Emperor Jianwen and opened the Jinchuan Gate in Nanjing to surrender. ”

"History of the Ming Dynasty" records that on the night of the fall of Nanjing, the palace caught fire, and Emperor Jianwen did not know what to do. Zhu Di, the king of Yan, inherited the throne and became the famous Yongle Emperor, and the temple name was Ming Chengzu. This emperor did many important things, such as moving the capital from Nanjing to Beijing, building the current Forbidden City, conquering Mongolia five times, conquering Vietnam with 800,000 troops, compiling the Yongle Grand Canon, and sending Zheng He to the West. ”

"Zheng He went to the West to find Emperor Jianwen to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. Legend has it that Emperor Jianwen fled from Nanjing and went into exile in Yunnan or overseas. Look at this Dharma Mountain, which is in the heart of the East China Sea, maybe Zheng He has been here. ”

"You mean--after Emperor Jianwen abdicated the throne, he fled to Damo Mountain?"

That's what the inscription says! Emperor Jianwen took 500 loyal ministers and fled here. In a certain year, several huge ships approached Damo Mountain, and the soldiers drove small boats to the island to search for them. Fortunately, the monarch and the minister hid in the secret passage under the cliff of sacrifice and avoided a catastrophe. The inscription lists five hundred names of loyalty, including our Qin clan's tombsmith clan. ”

Qin Beiyang pointed to the end of the inscription, three small characters in regular script "Qin Xiaozhong".

"Qin Xiaozhong, the tombsmith clan, and five hundred loyal ministers, seeing that there was no hope of recovering the country, built an imperial mausoleum for Emperor Jianwen on this isolated island."

"Yes, the entrance of the tomb is opened in the Impermanence Nunnery on the cliff of sacrifice, in order to hide people's eyes and ears. Also because after Emperor Jianwen fled, he was tired of the red dust, and he actually had the idea of escaping the world and becoming a monk, and liked the words "sacrificing" and "impermanence". Qin Xiaozhong found that the Sacrifice Cliff was indeed a dragon vein, and the point was in the underground rocks. The monarch lived in seclusion on the island for twenty years, until Emperor Jianwen rode Bintian and buried him in this mausoleum. Five hundred loyal ministers decided to follow the example of Fang Xiaoru and other martyrs, put on court clothes or armor, formed a queue in the palace, confined themselves in the underground palace, collectively drank mercury and died of poisoning, and supported their bodies with iron bars, died without falling, symbolizing loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and never falling! ”

Ye Kenan shook his head again and again: "It's the five hundred Wenchen generals we saw just now!" Just like the 500 dead soldiers of Tian Heng in the "Historical Records", they also committed mass suicide on the island for the monarch. But it's a pity...... Foolishness! ”

Finally, Haneda Taiki couldn't help but interject: "I only know that Japan has a loyal minister, the Ako Forty-Seven Righteous Soldiers, and I can't imagine that there are five hundred loyal martyrs of the Ming Dynasty in China!" ”

"Foolish loyalty! These 500 people died meaninglessly, but staying on the Dharma Mountain was just a fisherman. If you want to sneak back to the mainland, you will be killed by Emperor Yongle, and even cause a military disaster, exposing the tomb of Emperor Jianwen. ”

"It makes sense, it's better to be buried for the monarch and leave the secret underground forever."
