If you want to say that in the treasure land of feng shui, the richest and most mysterious is none other than "heaven and earth".

"Heaven and Earth", as the name suggests, is the emperor's feng shui treasure. If you can order a "heaven and earth", it is the greatest achievement of a feng shui master's life, which is enough to leave a name in history.

There are so many rich people in the world, but how many emperors can there be?

Feng Shui masters can point to a "heaven and earth", which is a combination of eyesight, strength, and luck, all of which are indispensable. It must be known that the thing "Heaven and Earth" has always been unattainable. Ordinary people may not be able to see it, and powerful feng shui masters may not be able to see this "heaven and earth". Even if it can be seen that this is a treasure of feng shui, but the "Son of Heaven and Earth" is not perfect, if you don't have the strength to make up for the defects of Feng Shui, not only can you not become a "Son of Heaven", but even death is not uncommon.

Just like Li Zicheng at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he first destroyed the imperial tomb of the Ming Dynasty, and Chongzhen also sent people to destroy his ancestral tomb. Under the two fighting each other, they naturally cheapened the full people outside the gate in vain. Of course, this is just a legend, and no one can confirm it. But since ancient times, big people usually believe in feng shui, but they don't say it on the surface. Feng Shui is a hot potato for emperors and magnates, and ordinary people are superstitious about Feng Shui in the hope that pie will fall from the sky. As everyone knows, good feng shui has to match good fortune, and without good fortune, no matter how good feng shui is, you can't enjoy it.

The reason why Tang Chen was interested in the "Son of Heaven and Earth" was simply to see what the feng shui of the emperor was like in the legend.

Although Zeng Lao knows little about feng shui, he is still very familiar with allusions: "Legend has it that Zhou Dexing, the Marquis of Jiangxia in the Ming Dynasty, destroyed the 'Son of Heaven and Earth' he saw everywhere by the holy decree of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, and the Emperor of Quanzhou (Quan) Prefecture Shandong Yue was originally a piece of 'Son of Heaven Land', which is said to have been broken by Jiangxiahou." Because Zhou Dexing destroyed the eighteen places of heaven and earth in Quanzhou Prefecture, so before Zhou Dexing returned to Beijing, the people of Quanzhou saw him off with funeral drums. After the 'Son of Heaven and Earth' in other places was completely destroyed by Zhou Dexing, he returned to the court to reinstate the decree and explain this to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with what he heard, and asked him if he had seen the 'Jedi Land'.

Jiang Xiahou said that outside the east gate of Quanzhou Prefecture, there is a 'desperate land' of 'scissors twisting hibiscus'. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered that this place be given to him for burial. It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that Jiang Xiahou would secretly spy on the 'Son of Heaven and Earth' and not report it, so he gave him a burial in the 'desperate land' to prevent future troubles, and Jiang Xiahou never imagined that his loyal self would get Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion. But under the condition of 'the king wants the minister to die, and the minister does not die and is disloyal', Zhou Dexing can only endure the pain of 'thanking Shengen', but asks that his coffin be buried vertically in the future to maintain a lonely situation of 'single Ding passing the generation'.

But not long after, a wandering monk erected a large stone tablet on his tomb, nominally to sing praises for Jiang Xiahou, but in fact turned feng shui into a 'child flail', so that even Shan Ding could not keep the dynasty and cut off the incense. Jiang Xiahou is really smart but was mistaken by cleverness, if he didn't know too much about the art of feng shui, he wouldn't have fallen to this point......"

"Hmph, that's nonsense!"

The fourth brother reprimanded, "Zhou Dexing is a courtier who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world, he followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight in the south and north before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and he made the most meritorious contributions, and he was the one with the highest merit among all the generals at that time." After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he became Zhu Yuanzhang's right-hand man, and he still conducted large-scale military training for the Ming Dynasty when he was old. Besides, it is recorded in the official history that it was Zhou Dexing's son Zhou Ji who had trouble with the palace maid in the palace, and Zhou Dexing was killed by Zhulian and razed the clan. After all the nine clans, where is there any incense?"

Tang Chen had to admit that compared to Zeng Lao's words, what the fourth brother said was close to the truth.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang drove away the Tartars and established the Ming Dynasty, he killed heroes and was always criticized. Zhou Dexing's meritorious master, and it is reasonable that Zhu Yuanzhang found an excuse to kill him.

Otherwise, why did his son implicate Zhou Dexing in the chaos in the palace? With Zhou Dexing's merits, could he not save his own life?

When you think about it, the truth is about to come out.

Of course, Tang Chen was not a witness to history, so he didn't dare to make a conclusion.

In ancient times, mausoleums, especially emperor-level mausoleums, had strict protection measures and could not be moved. For example, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, those who dig graves "cut off and decide". Don't say that if you dig it, even if you go in and take a look, you may be killed, and the idea of "digging the ancestral grave" is not allowed. Not only that, but also worship, repair, such as in the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi, Qianlong down the Jiangnan Road through Nanjing, always do not forget to pay homage to the Ming filial piety mausoleum. Now on the site of the front gate of the filial piety hall, the "Zhilong Tang and Song Dynasty" tablet is the inscription of the third time when Kangxi went down to the south of the Yangtze River for the third time in the 38th year. Zhu Yuanzhang built the Ming Dynasty, and after becoming the emperor, he also did not forget the kings of the past, and wanted to pay tribute to them one by one, and also gave Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, a glass of wine.

The Imperial Mausoleum has always been mysterious, a "forbidden place", and even the walls around the mausoleum area are unreliable, and cattle and sheep will not be let go. Whether the location of the Chinese emperor's mausoleum is divine or not, in fact, it is not a god, and it is almost inseparable from a common standard, that is, "dragons, caves, sand, water, and mountains, all beautiful and unreceiving, and the situation is rational and auspicious".

Specifically, the content is complicated, and there are many taboos when it comes to implementation. Under the concept of the ancients that "death is like life", the location of the mausoleum cannot be sloppy, that is, people still have to talk about feng shui when burying their deceased relatives. The quality of the location of the emperor's mausoleum directly affects the fortunes of the country and the rise and fall of the country, and it is particularly valued. The site selection and construction of the mausoleums of the emperors and concubines are also like this, all considering the interrelationship between dragons, sand, caves, water, mountains, Mingtang, near cases and distant dynasties. It is expected that behind Longshan is heavy, the screen is opened, and the mausoleum area is negative and yang. Left and right sand protection, surrounded by arch guards, stream water flow, Tibetan wind gathering scenery. There are several cases in the near future, and the distant dynasty is like a minister, so that the front and back of the building are facing each other, echoing each other from afar. When the natural mountain conditions are not perfect, they are repaired, supplemented, filled and dug artificially, organically combining nature and humanity to create an ideal "man-made" feng shui treasure land.

The concept of "unity of heaven and man" in the site selection and planning of the imperial mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty inherited a set of the Ming Dynasty, and its initiator was the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. In the capital city of China, the capital city wall of Nanjing is irregularly arranged, and those who have been to the world's best preserved and longest capital city wall will find that the walls are built along the mountain according to the topography, and the city wall has a beautiful scene. If according to the traditional "central axis" theory, it is square and square, and there will be no "48 beautiful scenery of Jinling" such as "grimace looking in the mirror". When Zhu Yuanzhang chose the location of the mausoleum for himself, he also pursued the harmony and unity of the mausoleum and nature, "in accordance with the rules of the ceremony and the shape of the mountains and rivers". Zhu Yuanzhang, like the emperors of previous dynasties, was patriarchal and revered his ancestors. The difference is that Zhu Yuanzhang is even more obsessed, and he pays attention to the selection of the mausoleum site to the point of harshness, so as to seek a good feng shui environment and bless the descendants of the Zhu family. The imperial mausoleum system in Chinese history was completed in the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial mausoleums of the Ming Dynasty were distributed in four places, namely the Xuyi "Ancestral Mausoleum" where Zhu Yuanzhang's grandparents were buried, the Fengyang "Imperial Mausoleum" where Zhu Yuanzhang's parents were buried, the Nanjing "Filial Piety Mausoleum" where Zhu Yuanzhang was buried and the "Ming Tombs" in Beijing, all of which were built on the treasure land of feng shui.
