Zhu Xiongying's mausoleum was built to the specifications of a prince.
However, due to his early death, the mausoleum was relatively rushed and was much smaller in size.
The appearance of glazed tiles means that the mausoleum is below.
"Stop, stop the work immediately, no one is allowed to move around."
"Invite Mr. Liu here immediately and tell him that the tomb has appeared."
Seeing that a large number of civilians began to gather to watch the excitement, Xiaolingwei Baihu, who was supervising the work above, immediately began to shout loudly.
At the same time, arrange for subordinates to call Liu Rixin.
Many Xiaoling guards began to take action to guard the scattered civilians, waiting for Liu Rixin's arrival.
Before that, Liu Rixin had told the Xiaoling Guards that the underground conditions of King Yu's mausoleum were complicated and there was a risk of collapse. Once the excavation was abnormal, the excavation must stop immediately and wait for him to come and measure it before continuing.
In the deep pit, the personal guards sent by Zhu Di communicated with each other with their eyes.
However, they had no idea at all. Under the supervision of Xiaolingwei, everyone could only stay put, without even a chance to fish in troubled waters.
Not to mention wanting to cause turmoil.
Regarding the Xiaoling Guards, most veterans in the army knew that all those who could enter were elite.
The only weapons these people have are hoes. Using these to fight Xiaoling Guards is no different from committing suicide.
Not long after, Liu Rixin and several accompanying Qin Tian Jian officials rushed over.
Liu Rixin jumped directly into the dug pit without any scruples. The crowd parted to make way, and Liu Rixin hurriedly started to check.
He first used his hand to grab a piece of soil next to the tile and looked through it carefully, and then walked around the perimeter twice.
"Take a look around here to see if there is any place where the water vapor in the soil is too heavy." Liu Rixin felt that the soil was normal and said to the Qintian Prison officials nearby.
If there is excessive moisture in the soil, it is likely to be an underground river, and you need to dig carefully, otherwise it may easily cause collapse.
After the Qintian Prison officials were busy for a while, they reported back that the soil within a radius of more than ten meters was normal and not wet.
Liu Rixin said, frowning slightly.
This is somewhat inconsistent with his calculations. It stands to reason that the mausoleum collapsed, and there was an underground river below. Naturally, it collapsed near the water source. It would have been disturbed and very moist.
After hesitating for a while, Liu Rixin shouted to the surroundings: "Come in and dig some strong men according to my command."
Among the civilians, several men looked at each other and immediately stepped forward.
Under the command of Liu Rixin, we began to dig along the area where the tiles appeared, and gradually extended from the surrounding area.
In about half an hour, the entire top of the mausoleum was cleared.
"This is impossible."
Liu Rixin frowned as he looked at the slightly tilted mausoleum tiles that had been cleaned up.
Everyone was a little happy when they saw the appearance of the mausoleum, which meant that the mausoleum was finally completed.
Now you only need to drill a hole directly from the top of the mausoleum to enter the mausoleum smoothly.
Then take out the coffin and it will be considered complete.
"Sir, there is something special about it."
The officials of the Qintian Prison were a little relaxed at first, but when they thought that the task was finally almost completed, they looked a little happy.
One of them saw something was wrong with Liu Rixin's expression and couldn't help but ask.
"I can't tell you at the moment. Let's go down first to see the situation."
Liu Rixin shook his head. Everything was just speculation. It would be better to arrange for people to enter the mausoleum first.
Going to the grave is an unlucky thing, and no one among the many people wants to be chosen.
However, those men from earlier volunteered and were willing to go directly to the grave.
It is naturally the best thing for someone to voluntarily go to the grave, and there will be no competition for it.
Under the gaze of many eyes,
Several people found a spot and began to clear away the tiles above.
The Xiaoling Guards brought heavy hammers for several civilians to use.
Tiles are one thing. As a closed structure, the main load-bearing material of the mausoleum is Sanhe soil.
Sanhe soil has been around since ancient times. For example, the Great Wall, which has stood for thousands of years, was made of Sanhe soil.
There are various formulas for Sanhetu, among which the most precise formula is mainly in the hands of the royal family.
This is stronger and more durable than the cement of later generations, but the production cycle of Sanhe soil is too long, time-consuming and labor-intensive. Its current main uses are still in places such as city defense and tombs.
Several heavy hammers were repeatedly hit on the ground, making a banging sound. Even so, the top of the mausoleum made of Sanhe soil still showed no signs of cracking.
Tomb robbers of later generations had no choice but to use explosives to blow up the royal soil. A few people couldn't dig it out at all.
Seeing that there was no sound for a long time, under the command of the Xiaoling Guard Baihu, a dozen Xiaoling Guards, who were burly and with huge waists, came off directly.
Use a heavy hammer to hit the ground violently in turns.
Just like this, after a full stick of incense, the ground finally cracked.
It was much easier to deal with the crack, and a dark hole big enough for one person to go down was quickly cleared.
"That's it for today. Prepare the rope and go down for observation at noon tomorrow."
At this moment, Liu Rixin suddenly stopped.
Xiaoling Guard Baihu frowned a little. They had just decided to go out for detection, but they suddenly stopped.
Faced with inquiries from hundreds of households, Liu Rixin explained: "When the cave entrance was opened just now, a dark wind blew in our face. It was late at night and it was easy to cause some filth."
"We will start digging again at noon tomorrow, when the Yang Qi is at its strongest."
Hearing this late at night, all the households in the Xiaoling Guards had no reason to object.
However, he looked at the civilians around him, especially those who had volunteered to dig and were even willing to go down.
A light flashed in his eyes.
He ordered: "All civilians must leave the mausoleum and no one is allowed to enter without permission."
Long before, there was an edict from His Majesty to the Xiaoling Guards, telling them to be careful of people who are hiding bad things among the people.
With so many civilians, it is not only troublesome to check them one by one, but it can also easily delay the deadline set by His Majesty.
Xiaoling Guards can only take strict precautions.
As soon as these words came out, almost all the civilian husbands breathed a sigh of relief.
How could anyone be willing to stay in a place like a mausoleum? Who would be willing to do such unlucky work if they couldn't have a full meal.
Only among them, there were more than ten hidden people with heavy expressions.
In this way, it will be difficult for them to take many actions.
After Baihu finished speaking, he prepared to drive away the civilian husband.
The few Anzi arranged by Zhu Di made eye contact with each other and nodded slightly as if they had reached some consensus.
At this moment, near the cave, more than a dozen Xiaoling guards who had used heavy hammers earlier were so exhausted that they took off their armor and sat on the ground to rest.
And those heavy hammers were randomly discarded on the ground.
The cave was not big enough at the moment, and it was a bit reluctant for one person to go down. An Anzi didn't hesitate anymore, and he jumped up directly. While everyone was relaxing, he picked up the heavy hammer on the ground and smashed it down into the cave.
"presumptuous!"
Seeing this, the hundred households of Xiaoling Guards drew their sabers without hesitation and rushed forward.
boom!
The cave that had been cracked long before was suddenly opened up enough for one person to go down.
Seeing the surrounding Xiaoling guards drawing their swords one after another, one Xiaoling guard even took out his bow and arrow and took aim.
The people who were closer and disguised as civilians headed towards the dark hole and jumped in without any hesitation.
Even when dancing, he did not forget to hold the shovel, which has a very obvious meaning.
"Damn it, come here, prepare the rope, get off immediately
Hole. "
The hundred households of Xiaoling Guards were furious, shouted loudly, and quickly drove away the civilians near the entrance of the cave, and then checked at the entrance of the cave.
ah! ! !
At this time, several screams suddenly came from below the cave entrance.
Liu Rixin hurriedly went to listen near the entrance of the cave. A group of Xiaoling Guards had already arrived, ready to go down to the cave at any time.
"Sir, don't worry, there is something fishy in this cave." Liu Rixin stopped him and said.
The hundred households of Xiaoling Guards also heard the abnormality, frowned and asked, "Sir, what is going on?"
The hundreds of households who have been stationed at Xiaoling Mausoleum for a long time are not familiar with the structure of the mausoleum, but they still understand the general situation.
Generally speaking, even the tombs of emperors and empresses are only about ten meters high at most.
According to the specifications, the mausoleum of His Royal Highness King Yu should be about six meters high.
But the sounds and screams that just came from below were only six meters away, and the echoes were probably dozens of meters deep.
"I don't know either. When the cave entrance was first opened, the air was extremely abnormal, so I decided to go down to the cave tomorrow." Liu Rixin explained.
Although he is mainly a physiognomist, he occasionally does part-time jobs to make some extra money.
When he was a child, he followed his father, visited some haunted houses, and had some understanding of them.
Normally, the odor of a general mausoleum is very strong when it is first opened. The smell of it can make people dizzy and make them very susceptible to serious illness.
But when the cave entrance was opened just now, there was nothing unusual except for a cool breeze coming out. It was completely unlike the feeling of a tomb that had been closed for ten years.
Liu Rixin realized that there might be something unusual inside this tomb. It's dark now, so I can't see clearly. It will be more comprehensive in the daytime.
As for the term "yin energy", it can be regarded as professional instinct.
Baihu took the torch of a Xiaoling guard, stood on the edge of the cave entrance, and threw it directly down.
The fire lasted for a long time and then suddenly went out.
Baihu made some mental calculations and realized that the depth below the entrance of the cave might be a bit bottomless, so he immediately ordered:
"Seal the entrance of the cave, don't let anyone get close, and call for His Majesty's Holy Judgment immediately."
It's now about three in the morning.
The officials in the capital have already started to get up and prepare to gather in front of Fengtian Hall.
After the Xiaoling Guards drove away the civilian husbands from hundreds of households, they immediately arranged for the Xiaoling Guards to hurry up and report the situation here to His Majesty the Imperial Palace.
In the dark night in the distance, a hint of white gradually rose, and the sky began to gradually light up.
The red sun rises in the east and shines brightly on the Jinluan Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang had already washed and dressed. He came from Qianqing Palace to Jinshen Palace. He picked up a book at random and started to read it.
When you read deeply, you will take notes.
The day's plan begins in the morning.
At this time every day, Zhu Yuanzhang read a lot of books and enriched himself.
Being able to win the world is never a matter of luck.
Unless he was fighting abroad, from the late Yuan Dynasty to the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang could not stop studying in the morning classes.
About half an hour later, Zhu Yuanzhang would eat some simple breakfast and then go to the morning court.
While Zhu Yuanzhang was reading, a eunuch came in to report: "Your Majesty, there is a letter from Xiaoling, saying that the tomb of His Royal Highness King Yu has been excavated, but there are some changes that need to be consulted by His Majesty."
"Our eldest grandson's tomb was dug up? What happened? The guards of Xuanxiao Mausoleum came in to explain in detail."
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang put down his books and ordered with some excitement.
The Xiaoling Guards who reported the news came in quickly and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang the details of the tomb of King Yu in the early morning.
"What a good fourth, I have really been guessed by you. If there is any mistake in our eldest grandson's tomb, hum!"
After Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, he said to Liu He: "The edict passed on to us will be canceled this morning. In addition, prepare the carriage quickly.
We need to go to Xiaoling in person. "
"We want to see what's going on in Da Sun's mausoleum."
