In the fifty-fourth year of Kangxi's lunar month, Kangxi personally went to Zunhua to pay homage to the filial piety mausoleum and temporarily enshrined in the palace, bringing the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Wang Zhuanling, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Wang Zhuling, the head of the Internal Affairs Office Ma Qi, the emperor's twelfth son Yinzhen, the emperor's fourteenth son Yinzhen and other five people accompanied him. In recent years, although the state affairs are not disturbed, a storage position has made Kangxi exhausted, the number of tombs is very small, and he only went to the first emperor and the empress dowager to pay tribute, and did not visit his own mausoleum.

Kangxi set the auspicious land of ten thousand years, located in Zunhua County, west of Beijing, attached to the east of the tomb of Emperor Shunzhi, built according to the mountain. Kangxi thirteen years of the Empress Renxiao died, the mausoleum site has been surveyed in the eastern foothills of Changrui Mountain, it stands to reason that the imperial mausoleum should be built according to the canonical system, but when the three feudatories rebelled, the military needs were huge, the people were difficult, the construction of the mausoleum was once shelved, only the underground palace was built first, for the Empress Feng'an. Later, with the filial piety and filial piety, in the past 34 years, the mausoleum has been gradually built and completed, and it has a magnificent image.

Where the mausoleum is located, the mountain is vast and open and intermittent, surrounded by mountains, the Jinping green barrier, the image is graceful. Behind him, it is the Changrui Mountain named in the early years of Shunzhi, and the foot of the main peak is the filial piety tomb, and the Kangxi mausoleum is on the east side peak. Changrui Mountain back north to south, lead the remaining veins of Yan Mountain, Zhuji Xianbei, there is Chaoshan Venus Mountain in front, the end arch is towards the Yi, stand in front of the archway door, you can still see at a glance the mountain topping mountains on both sides, the ground is out of the northwest, the southeast is exhausted, the left is auxiliary and the right is right, the vast and open place of this is surrounded by the arch and guards. The pines and cypresses are lush and verdant, covering the archway or jade or brick or jade, the archway and palace of the golden tile and red wall, the breeze passes through, and the solemnity of the mountain atmosphere is particularly heavy.

The emperor is lucky, the mausoleum is naturally good to rectify, even if it is here, there is no lack of the Son of Heaven guard of honor, the front and back hug, it is magnificent, the Shinto has also done the Majesty Road, the monarch and the minister line of the line of not long ago, rushed into the eye is the four white marble pillars, with the cloud engraved dragon, the momentum of the sky, He Yi Zhangzhuo. The pillar surrounds a square pedestal in the center, and there is a large stone forehead on each side that is waiting to be polished, Kangxi looked at the stele that has begun to have auspicious clouds and rui beast patterns, and asked the side of the human: "This is made according to the holy virtue and divine monument of Xiaoling?" Wang Jiling followed up two steps, bowed and replied, "The height of the filial piety monument is more than three zhang, and the main material of the monument body is two zhang high, and the total height is not as high as Xiaoling." Kangxi was noncommittal, Wang Jiling thought about it for a while, and guessed what Kangxi thought, and then added, "According to the system, the big stele pavilion was built together with the mausoleum, and the stele was erected by the heir, and the emperor Daxing did not stand in front of him. The main material of the monument has not yet arrived, so it is only a half-work appearance here. ”

Kangxi nodded, casually ordered "Record", then turned around the pedestal, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, only to see the heavy building towering, the establishment is basically the same as Xiaoling, so he pointed around and asked, "I see, this place can almost be completed?" Many places in it have been completed, and only the remaining part still needs to be added and repaired. The big stele pavilion is the most important place outside, and now the chisel is the stele amount, only to wait until the main material of the stele body is transported, and the stele base over there is embedded together, and the outer repair of the cover pavilion, the external project of the Shinto axis can be completed. Wang Jiling replied on one wall, and ordered the other two mausoleum officials to lead the way, leading the holy car to climb the stairs along the five-hole bridge, and carefully played, "The emperor is prosperous in the spring and autumn, and the project on this mausoleum does not need to be rushed to work, and the minister's will is to be more complete everywhere, and there is no need to spend money on silver, and it can still be done more finely......

The five-hole bridge is built with white marble as the main material, slightly biased to the left side of the big stele pavilion, facing the archway door in front, winding up according to the mountain, always located on the middle line of the terrain, changing the scenery step by step, it is different from the ordinary imperial tomb. Kangxi stood at the high point of the end of the bridge, the line of sight can look up at the Changrui Mountain, the level can be with the distant archway door, Kangxi held up the white marble fence with one hand, looked at it for a moment, Fang turned back and glanced at the ministers, and said with a smile, "I saw that the repair is good", and turned to Wang Lingling, "I remember, the original Ministry of Industry said that the five-hole bridge and Yongdao of the filial piety tomb only cost 1,500 taels, and this official did some of it." The matter of the mausoleum is very important, and it is better to make the value more generous, and to make sure that it is always strong and good. Although it was a little more difficult for the country back then, it didn't have to be like this, compared to now, your mission is better?"

Yinzhen has been with him, and it was easy to get a crack, so he inserted it tightly, "When Xiaoling was first built, the construction period was urgent, and at that time, the Ministry of Industry had to demolish some bricks and stones of the Beihai Palace, and the beams were filled in to make Xiaoling materials, and the materials were all good materials, and the cost was naturally not much. When it is really repaired later, find some old bricks and stones to use, the cost is less, but it is not a top priority. It can be seen that the money is still not saved, wouldn't it be better to complete it as soon as possible?"

Wang Jiling was slightly embarrassed, considered his words, and replied, "The emperor's meaning, the ministers know." The emperor had a clear decree to the Ministry of Works, the work of filial piety, not to save the reason for hasty repair, these years the household is abundant, the minister's mission is naturally not difficult, but also dare not have to be neglected, where there are items that should be paid everywhere, the minister should report to the household department to write-off, now the main project is basically completed, and there is no need to spend more national funds. The minister means that I have a mausoleum to build a chapter law, since the filial piety mausoleum as a paradigm, but at first there were many places that followed the previous Ming, and the ministers thought that there was still room for change, and the early canonical system of the country still needs to be completed one by one, the emperor Deze has a year, and the mausoleum regulations, you can allow the ministers to make detailed additions, thinking that later generations will become a precedent, but ...... It will still take time. ”

"What?" Kangxi didn't seem to understand what Wang Jiling said, but just smiled and said, "I'm also very impatient now, and I'm anxious to see everything, what should you do." Let's go, take a look ahead. With that, he walked slowly behind his back. Ma Qi saw Wang Lingling's look of asking for help, and he realized for a while, so he followed two steps to Kangxi's side, and whispered, "Back to the master, the slave also means this, this is not a matter of money on the face, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the time." Today's canonical system has changed more than the canons repaired in the early years of Kangxi, and the system of mausoleums should also be integrated into an example. ”

Listening to Kangxi's "um", Ma Qi gestured to the archway door in front of him, and then said, "The situation is ** room, non-magnificent, incomparable, fine and complete, the original dragon and phoenix door only has three doors, and the minions will change it to the archway door, increase the height and width, and do five doors in and out, and its potential is more prominent." There are many places in such a project, and the construction department and the tuntian division have their own supervisors, and they also follow this meaning to do errands. The slave has calculated with Wang Jiling, and it will take about a year or two to complete the construction everywhere. Therefore, I still have to ask my master for permission...... "He is now in charge of the internal affairs office, no matter what time and day, for the regulation of the mausoleum, he and Wang Jiling have a lot of discussions, and there is naturally no reason to stay out of the matter at this moment. What Wang Jiling said is true, but in the end, it is inconvenient for the fourteenth elder brother to refute it, and Ma Qi has been serving the people in front of the emperor for a long time, saying that in Kangxi's heart, he does not have so many scruples about Yinzhen, and his words are more straightforward.
