Jiuzhi Mountain is lonely and refuses, the momentum is majestic, the trees are verdant, the scenery is beautiful, it is the most representative mountain in the Weibei mountain system.

The Zhaoling Tomb of the Tang Dynasty is placed because of the mountain, with a closed area of 120 miles, with a total area of 300,000 mu, which is the largest one among the 18 tombs in Guanzhong. Here are buried the emperors of the ages, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

Wen Yiming came to the top of the mountain, looked at the distant mountains, and suddenly remembered something: "Have you ever heard of digging graves and digging up living people?"

Seeing everyone's bewildered expressions, he explained: "It is rumored that Li Shimin forcibly married the palace maid of Empress Cao Pi, the lord of Wei, and the difference between the two is hundreds of years, does it have a feeling that Guan Gong is fighting Qin Qiong?"

"When Dou Jiande, the leader of the uprising, rose up, there was no huge amount of financial support, and food was extremely scarce, so in order to maintain the daily expenses of the rebel army, he had to follow Cao Cao's tomb robbery and treasure digging. I don't know if it was providence or coincidence, Dou Dejian actually stole the tomb of Cao Cao's son Wei Wendi Cao Pi's empress. ”

After opening the coffin, it was found that there was a woman in her 20s, who looked like a fairy and was very beautiful, lying in the coffin as if she was alive. Dou Jiande looked at the clothes and funeral goods that this woman was wearing, and knew that it was not from that time. ”

An incredible scene happened, the beauty actually began to gasp, and slowly opened her eyes, and the looker was shocked. I can't imagine that the palace maid who was buried three or four hundred years ago would be miraculously resurrected!"

Dou Jiande felt that this matter was very strange, so he took the woman back to the army to recuperate. Upon inquiry, the woman claimed to be the palace maid of Empress Cao Pi, so Dou Jiande accepted her as a concubine. ”

What's even stranger is that when Li Shimin heard about this, he actually wanted to occupy this woman and ask her to be a harem concubine. This woman said that it was Dou Jiande who saved her and made her where she is today, and this grace of regeneration cannot be forgotten. It is said that after being rejected, Li Shimin also felt very sad. ”

"As for Li Shimin's occupation of this resurrected palace maid as a concubine, clues can be found in the history books. "New Tang Dynasty Book" records: Dou Jiande was killed by Li Shimin, who was the king of Qin at the time, when Li Shimin sent Qin Shubao out of the battle to lure Dou Jiande out, but Dou Jiande was shocked and hesitated, was seriously injured, was captured, and was beheaded in Chang'an. ”

After Dou's death, his family members were confiscated by Li Shimin, and it is likely that this palace maid was favored by Li Shimin at this time, but it is difficult to say whether it is the palace maid who came out of the tomb, and it is also one of the scandals of the ages. ”

Not only is Li Shimin a wise man through the ages, creating the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, but the eldest grandson empress has also made great contributions to Li Shimin's political achievements. On the one hand, she is a good wife of Li Shimin, and on the other hand, she is very studious, and she has used her leisure to collect the achievements of famous women in the past dynasties and compile 30 volumes of "Women's Rules", which is also a rare virtuous queen.

Liu Datong shook his head and asked, "Hey, no matter how powerful the emperor is, he can't stand the worry of the tomb robbers after his death, sir, who is bold this time?"

"This guy is not simple, known as stealing the Eighteen Tombs of the Tang Dynasty, one of the most destructive tomb robbers in history!"

Wen Yiming introduced: "Except for Zhaozong Li Ye, who was held hostage by Zhu Quanzhong at the end of the Tang Dynasty, who was buried in Mianchi and Mausoleum, and Emperor Mourning Li Ji who was buried in Wenling in Heze, the other eighteen Tang Tombs are all located here in Guanzhong, so they are called Eighteen Tombs." ”

"Guanzhong Eighteen Tombs each according to a mountain, because the mountain from the mausoleum, or seal the soil for the mausoleum, or chisel the mountain for the mausoleum, some of the mountains are dangerous, twists and turns, some of the peaks turn around, it is difficult to find the whereabouts, the width of a hundred miles at every turn, all are solid. ”

"But 17 of them were stolen and excavated, and the first culprit was Wen Tao, the festival envoy of the Five Dynasties. He is also the most person who has stolen and excavated the emperor's tomb in history, and many precious cultural relics have been destroyed by him, and then his whereabouts are unknown. ”

"Wen Tao has a characteristic, he can pretend to be a grandson, whoever is strong is his father and mother, tends to be inflammatory, capricious to the extreme. Before he was ten years old, he became a famous thief, and he was the youngest of those who joined the bandit gang. ”

At first, the people laughed when they saw such a little doll playing with guns and sticks, and behaved trickily, but when he wielded a knife and killed people without blinking, people woke up like a dream. ”

"Born in the war at the end of the Tang Dynasty, when he was more than ten years old, he went to the mountains of Saga, pulling people and horses, and developing a team of bandits. As the old saying goes, rabbits don't eat the grass by the nest, Wen Tao is just the opposite, he started by eating the grass by the nest, harming his hometown, making him the first to spread notoriety in his hometown. ”

Wen Tao climbed to Li Maozhen, the king of Xifu, as the head of the thief, and the two people with their own ghosts hit it off, in order to make themselves have no worries, Li Maozhen recognized Wen Tao as his godson, Wen Tao was naturally willing to worship Li Maozhen as his godfather, and took the initiative to change his surname. ”

"The good times didn't last long, and the Zhu Wen army, which stood out in the warlord war, was unstoppable and conquered Chang'an. The flag came to the west and smashed the phoenix. Fengxiang Li Maozhen desperately resisted, but it was difficult to contain the offensive of Zhu Wen's army, and at the last moment, Wen Tao saw that Li Maozhen's general trend had gone, so he turned against the enemy and surrendered to Zhu Wen. Li Maozhen fled. ”

Speaking of this, Wen Yiming smiled and said: "It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and soon Zhu Wen died in battle, and he became a father, a mother, and helpless." In order not to be eaten by other warlords, he can only return to the stronghold where he used to rob his house - Sagayama. ”

He also stepped up his efforts to amass wealth, frantically plundered the counties near Chang'an, and became a bandit who robbed homes and houses. ”

Coincidentally, Li Maozhen returned to Fengxiang again, Taoguang and obscure, in order to make a comeback. He saw that Wen Tao had been discarded, so he didn't care about the old suspicion of betraying him yesterday, sent someone to write a book, and repaired the father-son relationship with Wen Tao. ”

Everyone sighed at the excellent relationship between the two, and in those years, Wen Tao served as the envoy of Yaozhou, Chongzhou, Yuzhou and other places. During his seven years as the envoy of Yaozhou Festival, Wen Tao dug up 17 imperial tombs in the eighteen tombs in Guanzhong, except for the Qianling Tombs, and collected countless gold, silver and jewelry in the tombs.

Hei Feng asked curiously: "Why hasn't Qianling been dug up, is it ......?"

"The reason why Qianling can be saved is also thanks to strange celestial phenomena. Cheng Dachang's "Archaeological Edition" of the Song Dynasty recorded: The history of Wen Tao sent the Tang Tomb, and the Duqian Tomb could not be approached, and there was wind and rain in the vicinity. During the excavation of the Qianling Tomb, there were extremely abnormal celestial phenomena, such as violent winds and rains, lightning and thunder, which scared Wen Tao, who was afraid of retribution. ”

After listening to this, everyone was full of enthusiasm, this is big business, who is Li Shimin? All the people who can be looked down on by him are national treasures, not only him, but more than a dozen mausoleums have been stolen, and there must be treasures.

Wen Yiming smiled and said nothing, he had a bolder idea in his heart, that is, Wang Xizhi's first post through the ages, Lan Tingxu!

Li Shimin loves calligraphy, is a calligraphy collector in the Tang Dynasty is very accomplished, as early as Wude, he tried his best to get the "Lanting Post" from Wang Xi's descendants, and took it for himself.

After Wang Xizhi finished writing the preface to the Lanting Collection after drinking, he tried to rewrite it many times, but no matter how much effort he exerted, he could not reproduce the charm of the first writing, and it became a calligraphy peak that Wang Xizhi himself could not surpass.

He cherished this work as a family heirloom, passed down from generation to generation, to his seventh generation grandson, the monk Zhiyong. After the death of Monk Zhiyong, he passed the "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection" to his disciple Monk Biancai.

After the monk got it, he carefully kept it and dug a hole in the beam of the bedroom to hide it. There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the news reached Li Shimin's ears, and Li Shimin sent people to force him many times, but the monk Biancai excused himself on the pretext of not knowing his whereabouts.

Li Shimin decided to outwit him, so he sent Xiao Yi, a well-spoken inspector, to infiltrate the temple pretending to be a scholar. After a period of contact, Xiao Yi completely gained the trust of the simple-minded dialectical monk, and finally succeeded in deceiving Lan Tingxu.

In the sixth year of Zhenguan, he ordered to sort out the authentic works of King Zhong in the imperial collection and pack them into 1,510 volumes. When he died, he arranged for Li Zhi to accompany some of the fine products to be buried in Zhaoling, the most famous of which is "Lanting Post".

After Wen Tao, who was not familiar with literature and ink, took a batch of calligraphy and painting works out of Zhaoling, he did not look at priceless calligraphy and painting works, but gorgeous silk and satin framed outside.

Ask your subordinates to tear off all the satin and throw away the work. Historians speculate that Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface" will never appear again, and it may be that Wen Tao tore it up!

But what is puzzling is that among the stolen treasures registered by Wen Tao one by one, there is no such sticker. Therefore, later generations of scholars have a good wish, hoping that the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" can be circulated in Wu Zetian's unstolen Qianling.
