The three of them went in holding torches. The Shinto had nine twists and turns, like a maze. Fortunately, the three of them had read the map in advance, otherwise they would really get lost.
The burial path is a series of large pits dug deep around the center of the underground palace. Various burial items are placed, including the bones of cattle, sheep and horses, gold and silver jewelry, ceramic vessels, weapons, and maids and eunuchs made of clay figurines.
They were arranged in an orderly manner. The three of them took a look and found that the burial items seemed to have never been touched.
In other words, this person really didn't come here to rob tombs.
Going further inside is the center of the underground palace where coffins are placed.
The stone gate had also been damaged, to the same extent as the triple gate. The rubble was scattered all over the floor. There was light coming from inside. The three people extinguished the torches, threw them outside, and went in.
The air here is not very oppressive. It can be seen that the damage here has not occurred in a day or two.
This place is like a palace, with four columns carved with flying dragons, which are very tall and long, seeming to reach straight into the sky. The top is carved with cloud patterns and dragon patterns, various murals, and four luminous pearls illuminate the entire underground palace.
Emperor Huizong's coffin was placed on the high platform of the underground palace. The specifications of the high platform were designed according to the main hall, with white jade railings and white jade stairs, showing the dignity of the Nine-Five Emperor.
The whole body of the coffin was painted gold and made of golden nanmu. Before the three of them got closer, their hearts were already cold because the coffin was not sealed. You could see the gaps in the coffin from ten steps away and all the nails in the coffin had been nailed.
Lift out.
"Oh my God!"
Gu Si's face turned pale and he was shocked, "He really came for Emperor Huizong."
The faces of the three people were solemn. This person did not want to be buried as a burial object, but only wanted to destroy the remains of Emperor Huizong?
This means that this person hates Emperor Huizong very much.
Yu Wenhao thought of Prince Bao again. It seemed that Lao Yuan's guess was close to ten.
He wanted to step forward to take a look, but Gu Si stopped him, "Be careful. Since the coffin has been touched, it may be in danger."
"Then use your palms to push it away."
Yu Wenhao said.
The three of them first knelt together and kowtowed to the coffin to report. Then they stood up and used their palms together. They saw that the lid of the golden nanmu coffin was suddenly lifted and fell to the ground.
Looking at the motionless coffin, Yu Wenhao did not feel relaxed. On the contrary, it became increasingly heavy.
He didn't dare to go over and take a look, for fear of seeing Master Hui Zong's body... Gu Si took a deep breath, slowly walked forward, and said: "Weak minister Gu Si, pay your respects to Master Hui Zong, Master Hui
Mo..." His voice stopped suddenly, full of horror.
When Yu Wenhao and King An saw this, they rushed forward to take a look. They both looked horrified and their eyes were red to the point of splitting.
Inside the coffin, there was nothing except the gold and silver items and silk brocades that were buried with him.
Master Hui Zong’s body is missing! “Oh my god!”
Gu Si was so frightened that his heart almost stopped, and he murmured: "Who did it?
He actually took away the body of Emperor Huizong without anyone noticing. This person is really audacious."
After Yu Wenhao was shocked, he glanced sharply around and fixed his eyes on the overturned coffin lid. He walked over quickly and said, "Look, there are words engraved on it."
King An and Gu Si immediately walked over. There were twelve small characters carved on the inner cover of the coffin. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see them.
"Huizong is cruel and unkind and does not deserve to be buried in the imperial mausoleum!"
Yu Wenhao's face was livid, and he gritted his teeth and said: "No matter who this person is, I will definitely find him and cut him into pieces."
The three of them exited the underground palace and went to the Xiang'en Hall to report to Emperor Ming Yuan.
After hearing this, Emperor Ming Yuan, with blazing fire in his eyes, punched the worship table in Xiang'en Hall, and ordered Yu Wenhao and the others, "Search, dig down three feet to search, and be sure to find Emperor Huizong's body."
"yes!"
Three people took orders.
"Mu Ru!"
Emperor Ming Yuan then sent word that Eunuch Mu Ru had come in, with a look of rage flashing in his eyes, "Here at the Imperial Mausoleum, you come to deal with the aftermath. Don't allow any news to leak out. I have never been to the Imperial Mausoleum today!"
"The slave knows!"
Eunuch Mu Ru said softly.
Emperor Ming Yuan turned around and knelt down in front of the worship table in Xiang'en Hall. On the worship table was Emperor Huizong's spiritual tablet. He made a promise in front of the spiritual tablet that he would definitely find the golden body of his imperial grandfather.
Yu Wenhao escorted Emperor Ming Yuan back to the capital, and several princes returned to Dongling to guard. Eunuch Mu Ru and Gu Si were here to question and deal with the guardians.
Yuan Qingling was taking care of the Supreme Emperor in the palace. When the Empress Dowager was attending the funeral, the Supreme Emperor stood on the Tongtian Pavilion to see the funeral procession. When he was going downstairs, he accidentally stepped on the air and rolled down the stairs. He was seriously injured.
Emperor Ming Yuan was originally here to accompany him, but he was suddenly invited out in the middle of the night. It seemed that there was something important, and he was never seen again after that.
Yuan Qingling's heart was heavy, she always felt that something was going to happen, but it was important to guard the Supreme Emperor.
At the end of Chenshi, Emperor Ming Yuan arrived. Emperor Ming Yuan had a cold and solemn look on his face and exuded the aura of keeping strangers away. Yuan Qing Ling was even more sure that something big had happened.
Emperor Ming Yuan asked her to go out, but she did not dare to ask for her blessing and left.
But even though she withdrew and stood in the outer hall, her ears were sensitive and she still heard what Emperor Ming Yuan said to the Supreme Emperor.
She was shocked in her heart that Emperor Huizong's body had been stolen.
She pricked up her ears and continued to listen, when she heard Emperor Ming Yuan say: "This matter is too big for my son to dare to hide it from his father. I wonder if his father has any doubts in his heart?
Who hated the imperial grandfather so much back then?"
Emperor Huizong was the father of the Supreme Emperor. Hearing that his father's body had been exhumed, the Supreme Emperor was so furious that he couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood. He finally suppressed it and slowly ordered, "Order to inform Prince Anfeng of this matter."
."
"You..." Emperor Ming Yuan was startled, "Do you suspect that your uncle did it?"
The Supreme Emperor waved his hands with difficulty, "No, he didn't do it. He would never do this. Just order someone to tell him that he will inform the prince of all the major events during Emperor Huizong's reign and ask the prince to investigate the matter.
With all the efforts of the whole country, we must also recover the body of Emperor Huizong."
"Yes, father, please rest assured, my son will do whatever it takes to get Mr. Hui Zong back."
Emperor Ming Yuan assured.
The Supreme Emperor hummed and asked him to go back and do important things and not wait in front of the bed.
When Yuan Qingling returned to the palace, the Supreme Emperor's eyes were filled with smoke, and he just stared at the ceiling of the tent in trance without speaking.
Yuan Qingling knew that she shouldn't ask or know about this matter, so she didn't mention it at all and just stayed with the Supreme Emperor in the palace.
When the situation of the Supreme Emperor stabilized a little, she went out of the palace to see Yu Wenhao coming back. According to the rules, he should have stayed at the imperial mausoleum for three days.
Yu Wenhao just returned to the palace to change his clothes. When he saw Yuan Qingling coming back from the palace, he asked: "How is the emperor's grandfather doing?"
"It's stable, it should be fine."
Yuan Qingling saw him looking for clothes, so he found a plain white one for him and asked, "What happened?"
Yu Wenhao changed his clothes in front of her and said, "Master Hui Zong's body has been stolen."
Yuan Qingling asked: "Do you know who did it?"
"I don't know," Yu Wenhao fastened his belt and looked at her, "but you suspected Prince Bao at the beginning, and now I do too."
"Didn't you always order people to keep an eye on him?
Is there anything unusual?"
"No, there's no way to start. When Uncle Huang returns to Beijing, I have to ask him something."
Yu Wenhao poured a cup of tea on the table, his eyes condensed, "No matter who it is, I will find this person out."
