Chapter 37 The Origin of Qianling

Zhao Wan'er asked curiously, "Brother Zhang, what about later?" ”

Li Bing looked at Zhao Wan'er with a smile: "Wan'er, it must be that Tang Gaozong Li Zhi didn't listen to Yuan Tiangang's words, otherwise where would he come to this Qianling today?" ”

Zhao Wan'er blushed and smiled awkwardly.

Zhang Yuanshan gave Li Bing a thumbs up: "Brother Li, you are really smart." After listening to Yuan Tiangang's grand arguments, Gaozong hesitated and retreated. Wu Zetian heard Yuan Tiangang's words from his cronies early in the morning, and she was secretly happy in her heart, she thought that when she was a child, Yuan Tiangang said that she could be the emperor in the future, so as long as the site is located on Liangshan, with Yuan Tiangang's physiognomy, she will be able to fulfill it in the future and become a generation of empresses. As a result, Wu Zetian was extremely enchanting to Tang Gaozong every night, and when Tang Gaozong was fascinated, she kept praising Li Chunfeng and belittling Yuan Tiangang. The next day, Li Zhi, who was blown through the pillow wind, issued an order that the mausoleum should be located in Liangshan. When Yuan Tiangang heard this, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Those who represent the Tang Dynasty will be martial arts Zhaoyi." He was afraid that Wu Zetian would be blamed for becoming emperor in the future, so he resigned and went out to travel. ”

Zhao Wan'er interjected: "Then how can Tang Gaozong's mausoleum be called Qianling?" ”

Zhang Yuanshan smiled: "After the site of Tang Gaozong's mausoleum is chosen, how to name it, the ministers argue endlessly. Some ministers suggested: The name of Taizong's mountain mausoleum is Zhaoling, which has the meaning of showing the emperor's spirit, and His Majesty's mausoleum is named Chengling to inherit Taizong's grace. At that time, the prime minister who monopolized the power, Sun Wuji, strongly objected: "Liangshan is located in the northwest of Chang'an, and it belongs to the position of Qian, which is the yang, the sky, and the emperor. Chang'an is the imperial capital of His Majesty in this world, and Liangshan is naturally the heavenly imperial capital of His Majesty's longevity. According to the minister's opinion, it will be named Qianling! ’。 Tang Gaozong was very happy when he heard this, so he ordered his mausoleum to be named Qianling. ”

When Zhang Yuanshan said this, he paused and sighed: "Li Chunfeng's choice of Liangshan is indeed to see the emperor's qi, but he is not as good as Yuan Tiangang after all. Yuan Tiangang saw that Liangshan's imperial aura was filled with a thick yin aura, so he opposed it as Gaozong's mausoleum. It was suggested by the eldest grandson Wuji that the mausoleum be named 'Qianling', then when the qi of Qianyang is exhausted, the yin qi will be heavy, and the emperor's qi will not be exhausted, so isn't it destined to have a woman as the emperor? ”

While he was talking, the door opened, and Qian Yiduo walked in with a large bag of fruit snacks and beckoned everyone to have something to eat.

Just as they were eating and chatting, in another hotel not far from here, Shi Liya was lying in Wang Liping's arms.

On the night before, Shi Liya secretly dialed Wang Liping's mobile phone and told him that the group had arrived in Xi'an, and after staying in the middle of the way to Qianling, Wang Liping drove quietly from Shanghai to Xi'an on the highway overnight. When Shi Liya used the excuse of looking for a bar to relieve her boredom, she notified Wang Liping by phone, and opened a special room in a nearby hotel to wait for Wang Liping's arrival.

As soon as Wang Liping entered the hotel room, he didn't care about running around, and immediately had a trip with Shi Liya.

When their passion subsided, Wang Liping lay on the bed, holding Shi Liya's ** body with his right hand, lit a cigarette with his right hand, took a few deep breaths and said, "Liya, are things going well?" ”

Shi Liya said coquettishly: "I'm doing things, aren't you still at ease?" That Yuan Feng, I had already arranged it, I quietly stared behind Li Bing and Zhao Wan'er, and saw Yuan Feng fooling them with my own eyes. They should have believed Yuan Feng's words, because in this unfamiliar place, Yuan Feng could say their names at a glance, could they not believe him? I saw Li Bing and Zhao Wan'er hurrying back to the hotel, so I came to you. At this moment, that Zhang Yuanshan must have spoken wildly, and they couldn't help but believe it. ”

Wang Liping asked in surprise, "What?" Have you arranged Zhang Yuanshan as well? So, he knows our plans, too? ”

Shi Liya snorted: "Don't worry, I'm not so stupid." Zhang Yuanshan was originally a Taoist priest, as soon as he heard the names of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, wasn't it exciting? He will definitely show off in front of Li Bing and Zhao Wan'er, and he will help us invisibly. ”

Wang Liping kissed Shi Liya and praised Shi Liya for being really smart: "Liya, you have to find a way to let that Yuan Feng inadvertently run into Li Bing and them again, let them believe in some secrets about Qianling, lure them to those remote, backward, and superstitious small mountain villages, and try to keep them in a high degree of panic." ”

Shi Liya smiled and said: "Liping, you also know that I owe you a lot of money, so I had to do this kind of hurtful thing." Money is tight, it's really difficult for people to do things! ”

Wang Liping smiled, got up and got out of bed, and took out a wad of money from his briefcase: "Liya, this is 30,000 yuan, you take it away and use it first." Remember, if things are compromised, the old accounts will be written off, and you will be given another 300,000. If you can't do it well, you have to remember that when the 30,000 is reached, even the principal and then the interest will be 300,000, plus the original, you don't want to turn over in this life. ”

Shi Liya's expression suddenly gloomy, Wang Liping smiled treacherously, and patted Shi Liya's head: "Baby, you are so smart, you must be able to do a good job." It's not too early, so you should rush back to their hotel now and don't arouse their suspicion. I'm also rushing back to Shanghai, and you have to remember to report to me in time about the situation here. ”

When Shi Liya rushed back to the hotel, Zhang Yuanshan was still spitting and telling the other three about the magical legends about Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng. Shi Liya was secretly happy in her heart, and she also pretended to be fascinated to listen, and added the historical knowledge about Qianling in a timely manner.

Shi Liya was originally from the history department of the university, and she said it well. She told everyone: "Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor shortly after the death of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and changed the name of the country to Zhou. In the first month of the first year of Shenlong, Wu Zetian was seriously ill, and Prime Minister Zhang Khan Zhi and others launched a coup d'Γ©tat to support the restoration of Li Xian, the emperor of Tang Zhongzong. In November, Wu Zetian died in Luoyang Shangyang Palace, and his dying will was 'the temple, the tomb, and the order to go to the emperor, called the great saint queen of Zetian. He was 82 years old. In May of the following year, Wu Zetian returned to Chang'an, and was buried with his husband in the Qianling Xuangong in August. ”

Zhao Wan'er sighed: "I didn't expect the Tang Dynasty to change the name of the country to 'Zhou'!" ”

Shi Liya said happily: "Wu Zetian is proficient in literature and history, writes good calligraphy, and is even more good at scheming and cruel means. During the nearly 50 years of her reign, socio-political, economic, and cultural flourished. At the same time, it strengthened and improved the relations between the Tang Dynasty and the ethnic minorities in the border areas. In his later years, he was extravagant and arbitrary, the palace was filthy and chaotic, and his nephew Wu Sansi controlled the government, and the political constitution was in chaos. Before Wu Zetian died, in order to leave a rest for himself, he announced the abolition of the empire, changed the name of the country to the Tang Dynasty, and returned to his son Li Xian. After her death, the ministers strongly opposed the burial of Wu Zetian in the Qianling, because in all dynasties, the queen died first to enter the mausoleum, and the emperor died and was buried again. If the emperor dies first, the servant cannot move the main tomb, and after the queen dies, he cannot open the mausoleum to alarm the emperor's soul and be buried together. However, the generous and benevolent Emperor Zhongzong Li Xian did not accept the advice of the ministers, in order to show filial piety, ordered people to dig up the Qianling Road, open the tomb door, and bury Wu Zetian in the Qianling Xuangong in May of the second year of Shenlong. Since then, Qianling has become the only one in the ancient Chinese imperial tombs where one mausoleum is buried with two emperors. ”

Zhao Wan'er looked at Shi Liya with admiration and praised: "Sister Shi, you are so knowledgeable, you deserve to be a top student in the history department." ”

Shi Liya smiled and praised Zhao Wan'er: "Miss Zhao, aren't you also a graduate of a prestigious university." ”

Zhao Wan'er's face flushed: "Sister Shi, don't make fun of me, it's not because my father is rich that I entered a prestigious university." By the way, Sister Shi, Wu Zetian's wordless tablet is so tall and majestic, but why don't you engrave a word? ”

Shi Liya suddenly said with a serious face: "Miss Zhao, who erected that wordless monument is also quite controversial in history. Some people say that Tang Zhongzong Li Xian was erected by his mother Wu Zetian, and the reason why the tablet is not engraved is because it is impossible to comment to the world that his mother has been called the emperor, but after her death, she was buried together according to the identity of Empress Gaozong, so it is not easy to say, so simply leave a wordless monument. Another said that the wordless tablet was set by Wu Zetian during his lifetime, she knew that her life's merits and demerits were difficult for people to tell clearly, so she decided to let future generations evaluate her merits. What's more, Wu Zetian thinks highly of herself, she thinks that no one in the world at that time is qualified to say irresponsible things to her, so she has set up a tall and majestic wordless monument. ”

After everyone heard it, they all praised in unison, I don't know whether it was Wu Zetian who praised it, or Shi Liya who praised it.

Looking at the time, Li Bing said: "Let's rest early, tomorrow, we will go back to Qianling, and there is a very important thing to do." ”
