Ran Min was the adopted grandson of Emperor Shi Hu of the former Zhao Dynasty. Shi Hu treated him well and offered his loyalty to Shi Hu. After Shi Hu's death, he supported Shi Zun as emperor, but Shi Zun was killed by Shi Jian. .
He killed Shi Jian to become independent, restored the Han surname Ran, and issued the famous order to kill Hu.
Killing 200,000 barbarians in three days was quite ruthless.
But he was later defeated by Murong Ke, the king of Taiyuan in the former Yan Dynasty, and later captured by Murong Jun, the king of Yan in the former Yan Dynasty. He was killed on the Nexing Mountain and was posthumously named King Wu Daotian.
This Qian Yan is the Yan country that Murong Fu longed to recover in "The Eight Parts of the Dragon".
It can be said that Ran Min, the King of Wu Dao, has been entangled with Wu Hu all his life.
In the first half of his life, he was loyal to the Jie people among the Wu Hu people. In the second half of his life, he went crazy to kill the Hu people. In the end, he was killed by the Xianbei people among the Hu people.
His descendants are not able to reproduce his past feats, nor are they able to recover Ran Wei that he founded, but they can still find the tombs of all the emperors in Wuhu and dig them out to avenge him.
And he was trained by Shi Le's cousin Shi Hu, so he must know some secrets of Hou Zhao, and it is reasonable to know the general scope of Shi Le's mausoleum.
Maybe he had figured out the approximate location of Shile's tomb after establishing Ran Wei, but because he had become emperor at that time and couldn't do anything like stealing and digging graves, he put the matter aside for the time being.
After he died, his descendants restarted the matter.
"I heard that in the early Sui Dynasty, many of Murong's tombs were burned down and a lot of them were excavated. Wasn't it their fault?"
After Li Yuanji roughly guessed the whole story, he couldn't help but ask.
Not only did the Ran family have constant disputes with the Shi family, but they also had a big feud with the Murong family.
It was impossible to leave Murong's bright tomb unexcavated and keep searching for Shi Le's hidden tomb.
After all, compared to hide-and-seek, it is easier for the eagle to catch the chicken and achieve victory.
Then, after Li Junxian heard this, not only did he not nod, but he shook his head and said: "I asked about it, and they said it was not done by them, but by the Hebei Rebel Army at that time."
Li Yuanji suddenly didn't know what to say.
Facts have proved that every uprising process is a chaotic process of demons dancing.
And among this group of demons, there are always local masters.
Facts have also proved that when you bury your elders in the soil, don't be so grand, let alone put too many burial objects inside.
Otherwise, someone will dig him out sooner or later.
For example, the tombs of emperors in the past dynasties are large tombs with the largest number of burial objects, so they are often visited by people.
At the end of the New Dynasty, most of the emperor's tombs in the Western Han Dynasty were visited by the Red Eyebrow Army. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, all the emperor's tombs that could be excavated were visited by Cao Cao.
In the Tang, Song, Ming, and even Qing dynasties, the fate of the emperor's tombs was similar.
And almost all of them were patronized when the previous dynasty fell and the next dynasty was about to rise.
The only one who seemed to break this curse was the Sui Dynasty.
During the transition between the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Yang Jian's tomb was not very passive.
This may be because the anti-kings come from wealthy families, or the majority of anti-kings are related to wealthy families.
After all, we are all people who want face, and we stood up on the bones of the former Sui Dynasty. It would be shameless to peek at Yang Jian's tomb. Other forces might use this as an excuse to attack.
, so it’s better not to move.
"Facts have proved that you should not go too far in bullying others, otherwise you will not be able to find peace even if you die."
Li Shiji seemed to be inspired by the fact that the tomb of Emperor Murong was excavated by the rebels, stroking his beard and feeling sincerely.
The reason why he said this was because when the Murong family ruled Hebei and other places, they tortured the Han people in Hebei and other places very miserably.
After the Han people in Hebei and other places revolted, they went to dig their graves to vent their anger and take revenge.
Of course, the proportion of food and salary raised may be larger.
But they are short of food and salary, and they don’t rob other people’s tombs, but they think of your tomb first. If there is no anger or resentment in this, is it possible?
Li Shimin nodded in agreement, but if he was asked to build a mausoleum for Li Yuan without any valuable burial objects inside, he might not be able to do it.
Because he couldn't be afraid of being stolen or coveted, he wouldn't put any valuable funerary objects in Li Yuan's tomb.
Because if you do that, you will be accused of being unfilial, and even more so, you will be criticized by everyone in the world.
Therefore, even if he knew that it might be taken into account and stolen, he still had to put a large number of burial objects inside.
Because the vast majority of funerals are actually for the living.
The process of the emperor's burial is what living people like to watch and discuss the most.
At this time, Li Junxian handed over his hands and said, "Your Highness will decide how to deal with those properties..."
Li Yuanji thought for a moment and said: "Bring all the goods here, and I will send people to transport them back to Chang'an later."
Although some of those belongings came out of tombs, which was unlucky, they were all the belongings that Shi Le snatched from the Han people with a knife and must be returned.
Don't say that Shi Le is dead and has no objections. Even if Shi Le is alive and has objections, he still has to return them.
"What about those local masters?"
Li Junxian hesitated and asked cautiously.
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and said a little funny: "You want to keep them?"
If Li Junxian didn't want to keep those local masters, then he wouldn't ask such a question at all.
After all, no one here cares about the life or death of those local masters.
According to Tang law, anyone who steals a grave or digs one up is punishable by death.
Although the tomb they excavated had nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty, the place they excavated must have been included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the crimes they committed must be convicted according to Tang law.
Li Junxian obviously wanted to keep them, so he specifically asked how to deal with them.
Li Junxian nodded awkwardly, and quickly explained: "But the reason why I left them here is definitely not because I want them to help me steal and dig graves, but because I feel that they are digging soil and digging holes underground.
He has abilities that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Later, I encountered a fortified city, and if I need to excavate the ground to move forward, I will be able to use them."
Li Yuanji laughed, waved his hand generously and said: "No need to explain, if you want to keep them, just keep them, it's not a big deal. As for whether you will use them to steal graves and dig graves in the future, that's your business.
As long as you don't violate the laws of my country, I won't care about you."
In other words, you can do whatever you want if you are not in the territory of the Tang Dynasty?
The people in the tent had questions in their minds at the same time.
Li Shiji couldn't help but curl his lips.
Doesn’t this encourage Li Junxian to send those local masters to steal and dig graves outside the Tang Dynasty?!
Is this what a wise king should do? Is this what a wise king would do?
This time Li Junxian saw the huge amount of gold and silver hidden in the emperor's tomb, and he also had a group of people who knew how to steal and dig up tombs. In the future, he would encounter a large tomb that was not within the boundaries of the Tang Dynasty. How could he endure it?
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Li Junxian bowed with gratitude and thanked him.
Li Yuanji waved his hand and said: "Okay, if there is nothing else, you can go down."
Li Junxian nodded, bowed and exited the Chinese army tent.
As soon as Li Junxian left, Li Yuanji couldn't wait to smile and said to Li Shimin: "When we go westward in the future, we must take him with us."
The funerary objects in the tombs of emperors in the West are not inferior to those in the East.
When Westerners invaded the East in later generations, they even tore down the murals and took them away.
When the Tang Dynasty advanced westward, why should it hold back?
If you don't dig three feet into the ground, you won't be able to afford the careers of Faqiu Zhonglangjiang and Mojin Xiaowei created by Cao Cao.
Li Shimin rolled his eyes speechlessly and said: "Peering into someone's tomb is not something a gentleman would do."
Li Yuanji was amused by Li Shimin's words, "Are there any gentlemen here?"
The people here are full of killers, they have nothing to do with gentlemen, they look more like butchers.
Li Shimin stared and said: "There are no gentlemen here, but peeping into people's tombs is not done by a famous monarch. Once you inherit the power of the Tang Dynasty, and this kind of thing spreads out, I, the Li family, will have no face to speak of."
?”
Li Yuanji laughed and said, "Didn't I tell you that I would not inherit the throne of the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Shimin suddenly stood up and said, "Do you really want your father to pass the throne to Chengde directly?"
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Why not?!"
Li Shiji had almost stuffed his head under the desk at this moment.
Is this what the hell he can hear?
If some news of this leaked out, would he still be alive?!
Li Shimin patted the case and yelled: "You are just fooling around! There is no precedent for this in the past dynasties! Moreover, if the leader is weak and the minister is strong, disaster will occur! Have you forgotten how the empire of the Sui Dynasty came to be?"
Li Yuanji smiled calmly and said: "With you and me watching, things like the former Sui Dynasty cannot happen in our Tang Dynasty."
So should I hit my head on the desk and knock myself out?
Li Shiji shouted in his heart while pretending to be dead.
"It's better for you and me to sit on it instead of you and me watching. Since you don't care about that seat, why did you fight for it with me and my eldest brother in the first place?!"
Li Shimin said angrily.
Although the words were a bit over the top and a bit unbridled, he still said them.
This was what was in his heart, something he had hidden for a long time, and he finally spoke it out.
Li Yuanji also stood up, suppressed the smile on his face, stared at Li Shimin calmly and said: "I grabbed it, whether we sit down or not, we can survive. If you and eldest brother grab it, I can't survive.
Why do you think I want to rob?"
Li Shimin opened his mouth, but didn't say another word.
Because it's true.
Li Yuanji took the power of the Tang Dynasty out of concern for his own life, and he could not refute this.
There's no way he could ask Li Yuanji to give up his life, right?
