Yu Wenhao still shook his head and said, "Let's wait for the decree. We can't enter the tomb privately."
Everyone was silent. There really was no clear purpose, and it was not allowed to go in privately to investigate. According to the map of the underground palace, to enter the burial path, you had to enter another door. After passing the burial path and walking in, you would reach the center of the underground palace where the coffins and coffins were placed in the mausoleum.
The brothers were waiting for the decree from the capital with heavy hearts. Yu Wenhao was very bored in the Xiang'en Hall, so he walked out.
Looking at the dark night, the autumn wind is blowing wildly, and there seem to be night owls chirping all around, I suddenly feel a sense of desolation and desolation.
Yu Wenhao walked forward slowly, and it took half an hour to walk from Xiling to Dongling. He suddenly stopped and looked back at Xiling, feeling something was wrong in his heart.
When we arrived at Dongling Tomb today, some people first went to each imperial mausoleum to offer incense and report. However, the incense should be offered in the upper hall of the imperial mausoleum, so why go inside the tomb?
And from Dongling to Xiling, even if you fly, it will take at least two sticks of incense, and this does not include worshiping in the Xiang'en Hall after arriving at Xiling.
However, he remembered that the person who reported the report had already come back to report it after just one stick of incense.
When they passed by, they rode on horseback and didn't care about the distance. In other words, the man who offered the incense had already rushed back to report the matter before he even arrived at Xiling.
Did he already know that Xiling was destroyed?
In other words, did the person who destroyed Xiling deliberately let them find out?
However, it doesn't make sense if you think about it carefully. If this person deliberately told you that you could go to Xiling first and then come back, why did you have to turn back halfway?
It's not too late.
Thinking of this, Yu Wenhao suddenly felt that this matter was not simple. Could there be some ambush or conspiracy in Huizong Mausoleum?
He thought for a while, quickly returned to the Hall of Enjoyment, and told his brothers about his doubts.
King An's mind was relatively clear, and when he heard what he said, he immediately became alert, "Is the person who came to offer incense to Emperor Huizong today from the Ministry of Rites?"
"It's not the Ministry of Rites, but it could be someone from the clan. The people in the inner palace are all eunuchs. It's impossible to arrange eunuchs to come and offer incense."
Sun Wangdao.
Yu Wenhao shook his head, "You are not from the royal family. If you are from the royal family, how could we not know him?"
King Sun looked at Yu Wenhao and asked: "Prince Bao is in charge of the funeral matters. Should we send someone to ask him about this?"
But it’s strange to say, why didn’t he come with you today?”
Yu Wenhao slowly frowned, Prince Bao, Prince Bao again.
Xiao Hongchen has been following him these days and has not noticed anything unusual, nor has he interacted with anyone. His daily pastimes include listening to stories in teahouses, playing with birds in Bird Street, or
I went to the antique street to pick up antiques, and on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year I went to the palace, during which I rarely talked to anyone.
Xiao Hongchen also sent people to infiltrate Prince Bao's palace, and the information he found out was not suspicious. Most of the people who interacted with him were people from the royal family, and they hardly discussed state affairs when they were in the palace.
Is such a person suspicious?
But if everything is said to be unrelated, it seems to be inextricably linked.
What's the problem in Xiling?
Yu Wenhao went out and called Zhang Tian, "In the funeral procession, which princes and adults are there now?"
Zhang Tian had been waiting outside, and he didn't know whether it was because he was afraid or because of the cold night. He was trembling, "If I go back... to your Highness, the people who can take charge of the matter are Prince Rui, the Minister of Rites, and Eunuch Wu from the inner palace.
"
"Do they know about Xiling?"
Yu Wenhao asked.
Zhang Tian shook his head and said with a white face: "I dare not say it because of my humble position."
Yu Wenhao originally wanted to ask about today's funeral process, but before the decree came, he did not dare to let so many people know. As for Prince Rui, he was also investigating Prince Rui and could not let him know for the time being.
So he waved to Zhang Tian, "You go down first and keep it secret. Don't reveal a word to anyone until there is an order. Otherwise, you will wait for your head to move!"
Zhang Tian knew that he had committed a serious crime, and his face had already turned pale. He lowered his head and responded with a cry: "Yes, I don't dare to say it because of my humble position."
Around midnight, several fast horses came from the capital. King Wei did not come with a decree, but directly alerted Emperor Ming and Yuan.
Since Emperor Ming Yuan came to the throne, he has never left the city incognito. Now he only brought his father-in-law Gu Simuru and a few forbidden soldiers on horseback. This shows that the situation is urgent.
After they arrived, they went straight to Xiling because they did not alert the officials who had been keeping vigil there all night.
When Zhang Tian saw Emperor Ming Yuan coming in person, he was so frightened that he fell to his knees on the spot and could not even speak.
Emperor Ming Yuan was dressed in plain white mourning clothes with hemp strips wrapped around his arms. When he entered the Xiang'en Hall, his face was dark and his eyes were burning with fire.
Yu Wenhao and others hurriedly knelt down to pick him up. Emperor Ming Yuan stared at Yu Wenhao, "Have you ever gone in to take a look?"
Yu Wenhao said: "When I returned to my father, I only sent people outside the underground palace. The three doors of the underground palace were also destroyed. I didn't dare to explore inside anymore."
"Si Gu!"
Emperor Ming Yuan turned around and issued an order, his face as grave as iron, "Bring a few people in immediately to see if Emperor Huizong's coffin has been touched."
"yes!"
Gu Si immediately accepted the order.
Yu Wenhao said: "Father, Gu Si is not a member of the royal family. It is not good to rush in rashly. My son, please go with him."
King An hurriedly said: "My sons and ministers will also go together!"
Emperor Ming Yuan agreed, "You should be careful to prevent someone from setting up a trap inside. After entering the underground palace, you are not allowed to bring fire. There are night pearls to illuminate the underground palace, but there are no sparks. Do you understand?"
Yu Wenhao knew that the upper level of the underground palace was filled with kerosene and no sparks could be seen, so he said: "I know."
Because he wanted to enter the underground palace, Yu Wenhao did not let the rest of the imperial army follow him. Instead, he and King Gu Si'an could go in together.
The entire imperial mausoleum covers an area of about 200,000 acres, and the Xiling Mausoleum covers an area of more than 15,000 acres. The square and Xiang'en Hall of the Xiling Mausoleum only occupy more than ten acres of land, and the rest is used to build the tombs.
There is a map of the tomb in Xiang'en Hall. The three of them read it over before setting off. After entering the tomb door, there is a long tomb passage. The tomb passage is covered with bluestone slabs. After passing the tomb passage, they enter a palace gate, which is a short distance away.
Spacious Shinto.
The Shinto is connected to the underground palace, so the floor was replaced with marble, which was polished flat and smooth. When you enter with a torch, the light on the floor can be seen.
Further forward, there are the three doors of the underground palace.
The triple door was cast from three pieces of marble. As the name suggests, it is a triple door. Now the triple door has been destroyed, as if it was destroyed by someone's palm.
To destroy this thousand kilograms of marble, only a master of internal strength can do it.
The three people held up torches and took a look. The triple door was severely damaged, and the middle part was shattered, which showed how powerful this person's palm power was.
"Prince, I'm afraid you may not be able to break it open."
Gu Sidao.
Yu Wenhao himself shook his head, "You're right, I can't open these three doors with just my palm power."
