Chapter 264: The Son Digs Lao Tzu's Grave
"Let's go!"
After two days of rest, everyone was in good spirits and continued the treasure hunt. This time, the target is still northern Hubei, the hometown of Chen Feng, the best dog leg in the Ming Dynasty.
Wen Yiming leaned on the leather seat, drank red wine comfortably, and said with a smile: "If you want to talk about dog legs, it is also divided into three, six, nine and so on. ”
"There are also some dogs, not only insatiable, but also born rebellious, you say this kind of person can have a good end?"
"For example, today's goal, Chen Feng, is the best among them!"
took out the map and displayed: "There are four well-known imperial mausoleums of the Ming Dynasty: the Xuyi Ancestral Mausoleum where Zhu Yuanzhang's grandparents are buried, the Fengyang Emperor Mausoleum where Zhu Yuanzhang's parents are buried, the Nanjing Xiaoling Mausoleum where Zhu Yuanzhang is buried, and the Ming Tombs where Zhu Di and other 13 emperors are buried. ”
"In fact, there is another imperial mausoleum that is very famous, although the emperor is not buried, but its status cannot be underestimated, that is, the obvious mausoleum. The owner is Zhu Youqing, although he did not sit on the emperor's seat during his lifetime, he enjoyed the treatment of the emperor after his death. ”
"Obviously the mausoleum was built in the 14th year of Ming Zhengde, officially completed in the 45th year of Jiajing, lasted 47 years before and after, until the death of Jiajing, the construction was stopped, it is the most characteristic of an imperial mausoleum in thousands of years of history. ”
Not only Heifeng, but even Heihu and Liu Datong also listened to it with relish, since following Wen Yiming, everyone began to make up for historical knowledge, after all, it is too embarrassing to hunt for treasures, and it is too embarrassing to ask three questions!
"Obviously, the theft of the tomb has a great relationship with the Ming God Sect, he is a greedy emperor for pleasure, not only during his lifetime, he built many palaces and temples, but also remembered the happiness after death. ”
"Pleasure is backed by a large amount of money, but at that time, the development of social and economic conditions was extremely slow, and money could only be scavenged from the people, and he was a famous mercenary emperor in history. ”
"Many ways to make money were developed through the use of eunuchs, the most important of which was to send mine supervisors and tax collectors to various places. The incompetence of the Myojin Sect and the atrocities of accumulating wealth have led to the people's misery, the people's resentment boiling, and social turmoil. It is said that in those days, even if the common people raised a chicken, they had to pay taxes to the emperor. ”
For example, if there are gold mines under the cemeteries, houses, and fields of rich households, they will have to pay heavy taxes; if they unjustly dig up antiquities and hide them and do not report them to the officials, they will be fined; they will be severely punished for saying that the rich have illegally possessed prohibited royal objects, and so on. made things out of nothing, made them up indiscriminately, and his subordinates even openly confiscated the wealth of their enemies and dedicated them to Chen Feng. ”
At that time, in order to better monitor the areas under his control, Chen Feng bribed many people to act as eyeliners. Nothing about money can escape his eyes. There is a secret report from Jingzhou, saying that some villagers have dug up the tomb of Li Linfu's original wife Yang, and these tomb robbers have dug up a large number of jewelry, jade and other burial goods from Yang's tomb, as well as more than 10,000 taels of gold. ”
"Li Linfu was the prime minister of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji during his reign, and a famous traitor in history. He thought that the mausoleum of Li Linfu's original wife must be luxurious, and when he saw the money, he gave an order, and sent troops to rob the tomb robbers' treasures and keep them for himself. ”
Unexpectedly, this matter was known to the money-loving Mingshenzong, and the emperor naturally did not dare to risk the world's condemnation to rob the tomb, but he coveted the results of this tomb robbery, and ordered Chen Feng to hand over all the treasures he had obtained. In the end, the treasure he worked so hard to get was not caught at all, how could Chen Feng be willing?"
From then on he found the best business opportunity and robbed graves! Almost all graves within his power, big or small, famous or nameless, were dug up by him. Countless treasures can be easily obtained from tombs. The dog did not forget his duty, and gave half of the stolen treasure to the emperor. ”
The emperor was greatly satisfied, and Chen Feng was even more fearless, and later heard that the Ming Ming Mausoleum was next to the Zaoyang mine, and there were many treasures in it. But after all, it is the tomb of Emperor Laozi, and blatantly digging it is tantamount to asking for a dead end. So he came up with a way to hide people's eyes: mining the Zaoyang mine not far from it. ”
"When Chen Feng opened the Zaoyang mine, the people rioted, gathered around Chen Feng's office, and swore to kill Chen Feng. He escaped through the back door and hid in the palace of the king of Chu, where the rioters tied up 16 people, including Geng Wendeng, one of Chen Feng's henchmen, and threw them into the Yangtze River. ”
But Chen Feng secretly sent his lackeys to accompany 300 people with soldiers to chase and shoot the masses. After the emperor learned about this incident, he did not deal with Chen Feng seriously, but only recalled the matter. The emperor did this, hey......"
After the people's disturbances subsided, Chen Fengcai sneaked out of the palace of the king of Chu. Immediately mobilized a large number of troops as a guarantee for his tomb robbery, and once again stationed in the tomb in the name of mining. ”
"This time, the mausoleum did not escape the catastrophe, not only the ground buildings were destroyed, but the mausoleum was also looted, and all the burial goods in the mausoleum were looted by Chen Feng. ”
Faced with the rare treasures of the royal tombs, the dog-legged Chen Feng actually came up with the idea of calculating the emperor. Although he was corrupt and took bribes, and openly plundered many treasures, those treasures were not worth mentioning compared to the treasures in the obvious tomb. He was so dizzy that he secretly took most of the treasures in the obvious tomb as his own, and only paid tribute to the Mingshen Sect for those burial goods that were not very valuable. ”
"Isn't this looking for death?" Hei Feng was dumbfounded, his ancestral grave was openly dug up by his subordinates, and it was strange enough that the emperor actually ignored it, and now the dog-legged man even dared to swallow the boss's treasure privately?
Wen Yiming snorted coldly: "It is said that when Chen Feng returned to Beijing to report on his work, tens of thousands of gold and silver treasures were looted, and the boats carrying the treasures were connected end to end, for several miles. Although the Myojin Sect is politically stupid, it is very economically savvy in accumulating wealth. ”
Looking at the obvious treasures in the mausoleum that Chen Feng sent, he immediately saw Chen Feng's little tricks. He was very angry, and from time to time ministers impeached Chen Feng for his brutal rule over the people of Huguang and his crime of robbing tombs, it was decided to punish this disloyal minion. ”
On the one hand, he distinguished himself from Chen Feng's various viciousness, calmed the anger of the court and the people of the world, and more importantly, killed chickens to show monkeys and warned his wealthy eunuchs. ”
As soon as Chen Feng arrived in the capital, he was imprisoned and tortured to death, and Chen Feng, who committed the most heinous crimes, finally received the punishment he deserved. Of course, the mediocre emperor did not end well in the end, evil was rewarded, and his mausoleum was also stolen and excavated many times, and there were no bones. ”
Soon came to the destination, the mine near Jingzhou that Chen Feng ravaged back then, he was not stupid back then, buried a lot of treasures, I was afraid that the emperor would regret it, what kind of master is there, what kind of slave there is!
"Here, dig!"
"The treasure vault takes out the big belt?"
Wen Yiming took over the two yellow belts inlaid with gems, which were exquisite Dalu belts, and there was a line of ink on the yellow silk to take out the Dalu belts.
Made of double yellow satin with a layer of leather inside, it is inlaid with gold ornaments, all of which are made of pure gold in the shape of a twig flower, and an emerald is inlaid in the center, and the emerald is surrounded by pomegranate rubies and pearls.
There are 90 emeralds, 91 pomegranate rubies and 4 pearls. Among them, the emerald green is transparent, the variety is precious, and the price of diamonds is comparable, plus the volume is huge, priceless.
Another cat's eye ornament, thumb-sized opal is very rare, is a subspecies of chrysoberyl with phantom light, after careful thinking and shaping by skilled craftsmen, there will be a swimming and changing light band, the brilliance is peculiar, really like a cat's eye. It is decorated with red and green gems and pearls, and decorated with filigree gold trays, which are rare treasures.
"Golden Silk Wings Good Crown!"
Pick up the glittering golden imperial crown and weave it all out of ultra-fine gold wire. The lower edge is inlaid with a golden mouth inside and outside, and there are two symmetrical dragons at the top of the back and upper part of the crown, the dragon's head is above, the mouth is open and the tongue is open, the eyes are round, and the dragon body is bent and coiled. Between the two dragons was a circular ball of fire, which erupted flames around it.
Haha laughed and said: "It's all right, it's just a pair with the Nine Dragons and Nine Phoenix Crowns!"
