Regarding the Xu family, we have to talk about an incident involving the ancestors of the Su family.
According to legend, there are two villages near the mausoleum in front of the Fuling Mausoleum in Shengjing, one is called "Longcun" and the other is called "Fengcun".
Before Fuling was built, it was a wilderness where wild beasts often roamed.
Although there are no people around, the scenery here is beautiful and auspicious things often appear.
Later, when Fuling was built, there were some tombkeepers.
There were only a few of these tomb-keepers at the beginning. They opened up wasteland and formed small settlements.
During the Shunzhi period, Fuling's various systems became more and more complete. In the Qianling Fort, the emperor established the Fuling General Administrative Office and the Chief Guard Office. Along with them, there were various petty officials, servants, and common people.
The fort began to become prosperous. It is said that this Qianlingbao was the "Fengcun" in those days. To the east of the Qianlingbao, there was a small village called "Longcun".
Today, both villages no longer exist.
Fengcun, the former mausoleum, was demolished in the past few years.
And Longcun is even more elusive, and its authenticity is difficult or even impossible to verify.
Time goes back to the Qianlong period, when the economy was prosperous and people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
The old man Qianlong is immersed in his beautiful illusion of "universal world" and "perfection" every day. He seems quite confused. In fact, his old mind is more clever than anyone else. All living beings are the dice in his hands, and they are the most played.
The one who enjoyed it most was He Shen, who was in the limelight at the time.
He Shen not only made money for himself, but also for the emperor, but He Shen didn't know how to protect himself wisely. As the official became bigger and bigger, his ambitions became more and more inflated.
All this was seen by Yong Yan, the later Emperor Jiaqing, and he hated it in his heart.
He Shen built a nanmu hall in his home that could only be enjoyed by emperors. The setting at home looked like Ningshou Palace, and there were some decorations in the yard, which were similar to the Pengdao and Yaotai in the Old Summer Palace.
Wandering in my own garden with the adults, I almost felt like a god.
However, wealth and prosperity can become an empty dream if you are not careful. In ancient times, people believed that the Feng Shui of ancestral graves was related to the fate of future generations. Ancestors with good Feng Shui would protect their descendants from promotion and wealth.
The smart He Shen certainly knows the secrets of Feng Shui. He is afraid that his wealth will be far away from him.
So, Heshen was thinking about how to find a good place to bury his ancestors.
It is said that greedy masters often have evil slaves. The chief steward of the Heshen family is called Liu Quan. This man is the kind of slave whose master is enlightened and his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
Not only did he help his master make money, he also kept doing business on his own. At present, Mr. Liu owned dozens of houses and opened his own pharmacy and pawn shop.
Looking at the white money, Liu Quan felt more itchy than his master.
Hearing that his master wanted to find a Feng Shui master, Liu Quan started to use his brain.
He searched everywhere to find a good Feng Shui master.
One day, Liu Quan was walking on the street, and suddenly there was a quarrel in the distance.
He was also a master who liked to watch other things, so he lifted up his clothes and walked over with his head held high. The slaves helped him push away the crowd. It turned out that it was two brothers fighting, and one of them was holding a long log in his hand.
A stick, one person holding an ax in his hand, glaring at each other angrily.
Liu Quan got excited and laughed: "Let's fight, let's fight, we can't do it without seeing red!"
The house slaves next to them also started making noises. Just when the two brothers followed the crowd's encouragement and prepared to fight, a middle-aged man with a thin appearance and a slight limp in his left foot came over and pulled the two brothers away to persuade them.
: "If you have anything to say, please don't hurt the harmony. To be honest, brothers, I am a Feng Shui expert. You two had a dispute over family property because the location of your ancestral graves was wrong, which resulted in bad Feng Shui and loss of brotherly harmony.
.”
After hearing this, the two people nodded repeatedly.
And this Feng Shui master is the ancestor of the Xu family.
Liu Quan's eyes rolled around a few times and he asked his servant to bring the gentleman over for questioning.
When the gentleman heard that he was General Manager Liu, he nodded and bowed, hoping to introduce himself to Mr. He so that he could prosper and prosper, and promised Liu Quan a lot of benefits.
Liu Quan smiled brightly when he heard this, and hurriedly took the Feng Shui master to see He Shen.
He Shen explained his intention to Mr. Feng Shui.
Mr. Xu pondered for a moment and said, "I did find a beautiful area near Shengjing Long Village."
He Shen was overjoyed after hearing this. He, who was always unscrupulous, didn't care what taboos were violated in the feng shui of the imperial mausoleum. He smiled and rewarded Mr. Feng Shui with a large sum of money. Then He Shen ordered people to rush to Shengjing Long Village and ordered all the people in Long Village to move.
After leaving, not long after, the magnificent ancestral tomb was built, and He Shen held a grand relocation ceremony specifically for this ancestral tomb.
After the construction of the ancestral tomb was completed, He Shen wanted to find the Feng Shui master to survey it again.
As a result, Mr. Xu seemed to have disappeared from the world and disappeared without a trace in the capital.
Even the two brothers who were quarreling on the street seemed to have disappeared together.
Liu Quan panicked. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He quickly sent people to interrogate those who had met the two brothers. The answer he got was that no one knew the origins of these two people, let alone the Feng Shui master.
.
Liu Quan sighed, he had accepted the bribe, but he couldn't get himself involved.
So He Shen was deceived, saying that the Feng Shui master had wandered away, and the brothers' "neighbors" also testified that the brothers had gone out to make a living.
He Shen believed that the emperor did not dare to do anything to him, so he did not take Mr. Feng Shui's matter to heart.
Time passed by, Qianlong, the supreme emperor, passed away, and Jiaqing truly came to power.
Due to the empty treasury and the hatred towards Heshen for many years, Jiaqing overthrew Heshen after he took hold of the real power.
On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month of the fourth year of Jiaqing, Emperor Jiaqing announced He Shen's twenty major crimes and ordered his family to be confiscated.
The next day, Emperor Jiaqing received a secret document saying that Heshen actually built a luxurious ancestral tomb in Shengjing Long Village! Jiaqing threw the memorial on the table and was so angry that he was shaking all over.
It is unbearable to have a tomb that exceeds that of the emperor, not to mention that Heshen took the courage of a leopard and even touched the Aisin Gioro family's ancestral tomb - Fuling!
At this time, Jiaqing wanted to execute Heshen Lingchi.
However, the ministers of the DPRK repeatedly interceded for Heshen. Considering that he was the princess's father-in-law and had contributed a lot to the court, Jiaqing was generous and promised to give Heshen a "good death."
On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, He Shen was ordered to commit suicide, and Lian Yiyi ended his life-long dream in vain.
It is said that Heshen wrote a poem before his death: "The dream of the past fifty years has been true, and now I have to give up and thank the world. He was young and full of water, and he recognized cigarettes as his afterlife."
As soon as He Shen died, the Hulala Building collapsed, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it down. Everything related to He Shen was uncovered, and what should be investigated was investigated, and what should be demolished was demolished.
Soon, officials in Shengjing received an imperial edict, and Emperor Jiaqing ordered that the ancestral tomb built by Heshen in Shengjing be destroyed, along with Longcun.
There was a burst of dust, and the He family's ancestral tombs, which were once as magnificent as imperial mausoleums, were razed to the ground. Gradually, the village became deserted and no longer inhabited. (To be continued.)
