After being silent for a long time, Emperor Hongzhi's lips squirmed for a while, and finally agreed to the matter.

He didn't know why he agreed, maybe he believed it, or maybe he wanted an answer, he wanted an explanation.

All kinds of emotions were blocked in his heart, and after giving the order to open the dungeon, Zhu Youzhu pretended to be an ostrich again, and said with a solemn face: "The dungeon is opened, just see if there is a coffin. This is the end of the matter, do not open the coffin. ”

“.”

It is not an easy thing to open the underground palace, especially the underground palace of the Ming Dynasty is even more difficult, as the Chinese Zhengshuo Dynasty, and the Tartar Dynasty that is dominated by different races is different, and the imperial tomb of my Qing Dynasty is built like a child playing at home.

Not to mention sending troops, even a few peasants with hoes can dig up the grave door for you.

The mausoleum is shallow, and it is about ten meters to die, and it is not about the specifications at all, the tomb road and Sima Road are completely in a straight line, as long as it is not a cross-eyed, take a look, you can clearly understand the direction of the entrance to the palace.

Otherwise, it will not be stolen repeatedly, and entering the underground palace is like going home, a person surnamed Sun has led his subordinates to patronize, and those farmers who are shaving food in the field have also visited the underground palace to help ventilate.

And the imperial tombs of the Ming Dynasty, first of all, Huaxia Zhengshuo, unlike the Qing Dynasty, which belonged to foreign invasions, those tomb robbers almost all went to steal and dig under the slogan of expelling the Tartars and avenging the Han people, and they were congenitally standing on the commanding heights of morality.

Secondly, the Ming Tomb pays attention to feng shui, the site selection is in line with the science of Kanyu, and is buried deep underground, the structure of the underground palace is also very complicated, the tomb road is tortuous, if it is not with the help of modern instruments, it is difficult to find the entrance to the underground palace.

The group of people who opened the Dingling Tomb back then originally wanted to dig Zhu Di's Changling Tomb, but it was because they couldn't find the entrance to the underground palace that they retreated to the next best place.

Of course, these problems are not a problem at this time, ten years apart, the general location of the tomb is still clear, at least Emperor Hongzhi remembers very clearly, he personally helped his daughter's coffin into the burial.

In the southwest of more than 100 meters away from the top of the treasure, more than a dozen thick bluestone bricks were dug out and put aside, hundreds of guards dug here, of course, five or six hundred people could not be all on it, only more than 100 people really participated in the excavation, and the rest was to pick up the rammed earth dug out elsewhere.

At this time, a large pit several feet deep had been dug.

Xia Yuan squatted on the edge of the pit and watched, speaking of which, this was the first time he had come to the front line of archaeology, and he was digging his daughter-in-law's grave.

There is an indescribable feeling.

She should have called her over and let her squat here to watch, her feelings would definitely be even more wonderful.

Gradually, the head and shovel made a crisp sound, as if they had touched something hard, and everyone present knew that this was the Shinto that had dug into the underground palace, and faintly they could see the lapis gold bricks laid underground, and the gate of the underground palace was finally revealed.

The door is carved with reliefs, like a pattern of moire, and it looks pretty good.

It's just that it's the turn of how to open this stone door, but the guards below are in difficulty, there is a top door stele behind the tomb door, and the principle of the wooden bolt top door adopted cannot be pushed open by manpower.

After all, the original intention of the construction of this underground palace was not to let people go in and visit it in the future, let alone to let it see the light of day again, how strong and how to come.

There were more than a dozen Praetorian guards who really pushed and pushed against the stone gate with their bodies.

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao, who was squatting on the edge of the pit, made a voice, with an expression of hatred for iron and steel, "What are you pushing, you can push open such a thick stone door?" Blow it up with gunpowder, make a big cannon fight, blow it up. ”

“.”

Emperor Hongzhi stood a little farther away, and when he heard this, his face suddenly sank, your sister-in-law's underground palace, you actually want to blow it up with gunpowder, are you still a person?

Xia Yuan also looked at him with some complications, if this unlucky child was born a few hundred years later, the Tanglin thief would have to change someone.

"It can't be exploded, there is an underground river under this ground, and when the gunpowder is exploded, the ground is shaken, and it is likely to collapse."

"So what do you say?"

"Is there a wide gap in the middle of the stone door? I looked like I was filling it with bricks, and I took out the bricks, and then I found some kind of iron rod, and put a wooden board or something into the gap, and opened the top door stone inside. ”

Xia Yuan pointed to the middle of the stone gate, which looked like there was a gap about ten centimeters wide, filled with bricks and stones, poured with mud mixed with glutinous rice juice, and painted, almost exactly the same color as the stone gate, but if you look closely, you can still see the slight difference.

He remembered that when the tomb was dug hundreds of years later, those brick houses could not open the stone door, and finally they used wooden squares to stuff it in, and pried the top door stone open, so that the stone door could be opened.

Of course, there will be a gap in the middle of the stone door, after all, this door stone is not electric, and the gap is left in order to wait for the stone door to be closed, and then use the corner key to stuff it into the gap, and hook the top door stone to resist the tomb door.

Finally, the gap is sealed with stone bricks, this is the correct process, it is impossible to design several mechanisms, press the wrong one, it is quicksand and crossbow arrows, and when the correct mechanism is found, the tomb door will automatically open.

If you think about this kind of thing, you know that it is impossible, even if there is a mechanism, it is also a place of death, and there is absolutely no mechanism that automatically opens the door of the tomb.

So a group of people began to hold the chisel again, clanging against the brick crack in the middle, this will be a very time-consuming thing, this Ming Dynasty masonry is by no means a tofu slag project, but quite strong.

It was more than half a day's busy work, and finally more than a dozen bricks and stones were deducted, and then a long wooden square was pushed in, and under the joint efforts of dozens of people, there was a muffled sound, which was the sound of the top door stone being pushed down.

Smoke and dust filled through the cracks, and the stone door that had been sealed for ten years was finally opened.

But there are three more doors in such a tomb, which means that there are four heavy stone doors in this princess's tomb.

Fortunately, with the experience of the first, the remaining stone gates were relatively easy to deal with, and one after another the stone gates were opened.

Since I came here in the morning, it was already dusk, and I had been busy for nearly a day before I finally opened this underground palace.

Xia Yuan really wanted to go in with him and visit what it was like in the underground palace of the princess of the Ming Dynasty, but after thinking about it, it was still calculated, there was a high probability that it was in a state of collapse, and it was not a joke if he fell down.

After waiting for the air to circulate, a dozen or so guards boldly walked in with torches.

Then there was another long wait, and Emperor Hongzhi still stood a little farther away with a solemn face, but the fists in his cuffs were already clenched tightly.

I don't know how long it has been, there seems to be a faint sound of footsteps in the dungeon, and soon, the guards who have just entered are all coming out along the stone gate, walking in a hurry, and everyone's face has a look of fear and fear.

Zhu Houzhao squatted on the edge of the pit and couldn't wait to ask, "How?" Is it really collapsing inside? ”

More than a dozen guards under the pit bowed down one after another, "Your Highness, there are several collapses in the underground palace, and the apse apse where the coffin is parked has collapsed into a deep pit, the coffin bed overturned, and the coffin is even more unknown. ”

"This place is dangerous, please move quickly with Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

“.”

The air seemed to be silent for a moment, and suddenly Xiao Jing's sharp and piercing shout sounded, "Emperor, Emperor!" ”
