At Jinshankou in the capital, a retirement home for veteran cadres welcomed several black cars today. After entering the retirement home, these black cars drove straight towards the back hill.
Everyone in the capital has heard of the Ming Tombs, which are the tombs of the thirteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty. However, in Jinshankou, there is another tomb of a Ming Dynasty emperor that has been forgotten by everyone: the Mausoleum of Emperor Jing.
There were a total of 16 emperors in the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was buried in Nanjing. However, Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson Emperor Jianwen was usurped by Emperor Yongle and his whereabouts are unknown, so there is no mausoleum. The other one is Emperor Jing: Zhu Qiyu.
Zhu Qiyu was an emperor who only reigned for eight years. His brother Zhu Qizhen was the Yingzong Emperor. During a personal expedition, he was captured by Wa Ci in Tumubao, which is known as the Tumubao Incident in history.
Yingzong was captured, but the country could not be left without a master for a day. In the end, Yingzong's younger brother Zhu Qiyu was appointed to succeed him as Emperor Jing. He focused on Qian and opposed the southward migration. He tried his best to turn the tide and defend the capital. He also played a great role in post-war construction.
.
However, Wa Ci later released Yingzong for unknown reasons. Yingzong regained the throne when he came back and put Emperor Jing under house arrest. Emperor Jing died in depression at the age of thirty.
After Emperor Jing's death, Emperor Yingzong also abandoned his imperial title, gave him a posthumous title of "戾", and buried him in Xishan, Beijing, as a prince. In fact, the actual mausoleum specifications did not even reach the level of a prince.
Therefore, when people mention the Ming Tombs, they often forget the existence of the Jingdi Mausoleum. At this time, these black cars were parked under the Jingdi Mausoleum.
The doors of these black cars opened, and a group of young men and women got out of the first two cars, while two old men and two middle-aged men got out of the third car.
"Mr. Bao, is this the Mausoleum of Emperor Jing?"
Mo Yongxin took off her black sunglasses, revealing her bright and clear eyes, and asked the old man while looking at this mausoleum with no hint of imperial aura.
"Well, although Emperor Jing's Mausoleum is of princely standard, in fact Yingzong was very resentful of his younger brother who usurped his throne. The rules of Emperor Jing's Mausoleum do not meet the princely standards at all."
After Mr. Bao Fuxu explained, he continued: "Miss Mo, according to the information obtained through your investigation, Mr. Chen got this sarcophagus from the Mausoleum of Emperor Jing, so you suspect that Han Bao brought Junior Brother Qin back to the Mausoleum of Emperor Jing?"
"Yes, thirty years ago, Mr. Chen entered all the tombs of the Ming Dynasty, and finally took away a sarcophagus from the Jingdi Mausoleum. However, for some reasons, the managers of the tomb did not stop him, and this sarcophagus was exactly
The sarcophagus under the Chen family is also the sarcophagus where Hanbao lives."
Mo Yongxin's eyes flashed brightly and she said: "The administrator of Emperor Jing's Mausoleum said that when Mr. Chen entered the Mausoleum of Emperor Jing, he did not ask anyone to accompany him. It took him an hour to invite several Chen family members to go in and carry a sarcophagus away, because
The administrators didn’t dare to ask too much about Mr. Chen’s identity, but where exactly Mr. Chen found the sarcophagus in Emperor Jing’s Mausoleum, those administrators didn’t know because they had never seen a sarcophagus in Emperor Jing’s Mausoleum.”
"What Miss Mo means is that there is actually a secret passage in Emperor Jing's Mausoleum, and this sarcophagus is hidden in the secret passage?"
"Yes, this is the result of research by several of us. That's why we invited Mr. Bao and Mr. Fan to come together because we want to find the secret passage of Emperor Jing's Mausoleum."
After listening to Mo Yongxin's words, Mr. Bao showed a wry smile, looked at each other with Mr. Fan, and said, "Lao Fan and I don't have much research on the secret passages of agencies. Let's give it a try."
There is a specialization in this art. Although Mr. Bao and Mr. Fan are at the level of fifth-grade physiognomists, they are not as good at some of the secret passages in the mausoleum as some local masters. After all, they have never done underground work.
"Mr. Bao, so we have hired another gentleman to come and help us. Don't mind. It's not that we don't trust you. It's just that time is running out now. One more person means more strength."
Meng Yao on the side also spoke, and at the same time, a middle-aged man stepped out of a car. He didn't look very old, but his face was very pale, as if he hadn't seen the sun for a long time, and his whole body was stooped, so old.
He can compete with Mr. Bao and Mr. Fan.
"Boss, Mr. Bao and Mr. Fan, are very famous juniors. It's a great honor to meet them today."
The middle-aged man's eyes started rolling as soon as he got out of the car. If I had to use one word to describe him, it would be a sinister look.
"Guo Jianlong, I came to you this time for something. I didn't ask you to come here to get married. You should know that if I can fish you out of prison, I can send you in."
Mo Yongxin saw a trace of displeasure on the faces of Mr. Bao and Mr. Fan. It was not because they found Guo Jianlong, but because Bao Jianlong's familiar attitude annoyed the two elders.
Mr. Bao and Mr. Fan usually have a very good attitude towards their younger generations. However, Guo Jianlong made them smell an earthy smell from a long distance away. Both of them are well versed in the art of judging people. This
Guo Jianlong could tell what he did at a glance. He was an authentic local master who specialized in digging people's graves. Such a person called the two of them seniors. Mr. Bao and Mr. Fan didn't even think twice about slapping them.
Mo Yongxin lost face.
These Feng Shui masters help people design tombs and check the Feng Shui of ghost houses, while these local masters destroy tombs. The two are in opposition, and it is good that they can't walk away.
Guo Jianlong also saw the displeasure of Mr. Fan and Mr. Bao, and immediately retracted his hand without feeling embarrassed. He smiled flatteringly and said to Mo Yongxin: "Miss Mo, if I had known that there were Mr. Fan and Mr. Bao,
I won’t come. With these two here, there’s no need for me to show my shame.”
"It's okay if you don't want to. I'll send you back to prison now." Mo Yongxin did not follow Guo Jianlong's tactics at all and said coldly.
"No, Mr. Fan and Mr. Bao are seniors, but to be honest, when it comes to finding secret channels, especially those in the mausoleum, my old Guo is definitely not weak." Guo Jianlong hurriedly patted his chest to assure himself that he finally got out of prison.
He didn't want to go in again. Instead of staying in prison, he would rather be in a mausoleum with the ancient corpse.
After listening to Guo Jianlong's words, Mr. Bao and Mr. Fan looked at each other and smiled. Guo Jianlong was also a wonderful man. He was very skilled in adapting to the wind and had a very thick skin. In physiognomy, this kind of person is described as: useful
and cannot be reused.
The scope of Emperor Jing's Mausoleum is not large, and there is no treasure city or bright tower like ordinary imperial mausoleums. There is only a stele pavilion. Mo Yongxin and a group of people came to the stele pavilion. A man in black spread a map on the stele pavilion.
On the stone table.
"This is the layout of Emperor Jing's Mausoleum. Mr. Bao and Mr. Fan, please come over and see if there are any clues."
The Mausoleum of Emperor Jingdi is divided into three parts. They occupied the stele pavilion, the Ling'en Gate, and the Heng Hall. However, the Heng Hall no longer exists, leaving only a large open space.
"If we look at it as a layout plan, the place where Mr. Chen is most likely to find the sarcophagus should be inside Ling'en Gate. The stele pavilion we are in was originally just an empty pavilion. The stele inside was inscribed by Emperor Qianlong. It should be
It has nothing to do with the sarcophagus. This can be seen from the fact that Mr. Chen visited all the imperial tombs of the Ming Dynasty. The sarcophagus he found must be related to the Ming Dynasty."
Mo Yongxin pointed at the map, "Originally, I thought the most likely place was in Hengdian, but Hengdian has completely disappeared, leaving only an empty space, so Hengdian has been ruled out, and now only Ling'en Gate is the most likely.
There is a secret passage."
"Miss Mo is right, then let's go directly to Ling'en Gate." Mr. Bao agreed with Mo Yongxin's view, and several people walked towards Ling'en Gate inside, while Guo Jianlong's eyes changed as he walked aside.
It flickered, but because he hunched over and lowered his head, he hid it well and was not noticed by anyone.
Ling'en Gate is actually a courtyard, but it is already dilapidated. The rustling wall tells everyone about the ups and downs he has gone through. Because Emperor Jing's Mausoleum is not open to the public, there are few people doing the rest environment work here.
, there is still a thick layer of dead leaves on the ground.
"There are so many dead leaves. It's a lot more difficult to find secret passages." When Bao Lao entered the yard and saw the dead leaves lying all over the ground, he frowned. Mo Yongxin, Meng Yao and others also changed their expressions.
It's a bit hard to look at. Things like secret passages are originally hidden, but now that there are so many dead leaves covering them, it's even more difficult to find them.
"Old Bao, if it doesn't work, just use your Tianji Sect's Jiugong hexagram to calculate." Mr. Fan suggested to Mr. Bao.
"If I could calculate it, I would have done it long ago. The Nine Palaces can only calculate one hexagram in seven days. I already used it to calculate the safety of Junior Brother Qin last time. I can't do it anymore these days." Seeing Mo Yongxin and others.
With an expectant look in his eyes, Mr. Bao smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Then there is no other way. We can only look for it bit by bit."
"etc!"
Just as everyone was about to split up to look for it, Guo Jianlong suddenly stopped everyone, raised his head and looked at Mo Yongxin, with a look of determination on his face, and said: "Miss Mo, if I help you find this hidden secret passage...
, can you get me out of jail completely, the kind with no criminal record?"
"Can you really find the secret passage?" Before Mo Yongxin could answer, Meng Yao said first, "If you can find the secret passage, not only will you be released from prison, but I will also give you a large reward."
Guo Jianlong was attracted by Meng Yao's words. A greedy look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly restrained himself. Some money is not so easy to get.
Guo Jianlongshi grew up in a standard Tufu family. His grandfather was a Tufuzi, and his father became even more famous. When the entire northern generation mentioned the Guo family, they would raise their thumbs. Guo Jianlong’s father was a
Many large tombs have been robbed.
However, when Guo Jianlong was born, the Guo family was already in trouble. After ten years of destruction of the Four Olds and turbulence, the Guo family gradually declined. Guo Jianlong's father also broke a hand while going to the fields. This was a big problem for the Guo family.
Said, it is simply adding insult to injury. (To be continued)
