How could Huang Qiong be so happy as Dao Meiping alone. Fortunately, Huang Qiong also knew that this place was not too suitable for this, so he didn't torment her too much, but even this made Dao Meiping exhausted. The next morning, he looked at Dao Meiping nestled in his arms, and the two women on both sides. But after gently kissing Dao Meiping's face, he pulled away. Under the service of Qingzi Erluo who came to help him change clothes, he washed and ate.
Then he took Nangong Zhen, Qing Zi Erluo, and two hundred guards up to the mountain behind the entire royal tomb area. After going up the mountain, Huang Qiong carefully inspected the mountain for all possible traces of artificial transformation. Unfortunately, after a whole day of careful inspection, no traces of manual processing were found on the mountain. Huang Qiong had no choice but to go down the mountain and looked at the mountain in confusion. Originally, although this mountain was not majestic, it was the highest mountain around the royal tomb.
In Feng Shui terms, this mountain is the ancestral mountain, also known as the backing mountain, overlooking the entire mausoleum. The tombs of Guilin princes in the past dynasties have the tomb of the second generation Guilin prince as the central axis, and are distributed on both sides with the position of Zhaomu. As for the rest of the generals and lieutenants' tombs, they are evenly distributed at both ends of the royal tomb, with the entire royal tomb as the central axis. The area where it is located is integrated with the royal tomb area of the past dynasties, but it is separated by pine forests and low walls to form a separate area. The status distinction can be distinguished at a glance.
Apart from the regulations, this royal tomb is almost the same as the Gongxian royal tomb in terms of its overall feng shui and architectural layout. It's just that the specifications of each mausoleum are built according to the level of the county king. In addition, the tombs are relatively concentrated, with the tombs of the second generation kings as the core. The average distance between the tombs of the kings is less than a hundred feet, which makes them seem a bit dense. However, the entire royal tomb is surrounded by mountains and water. It not only has a backing mountain, but also has table mountains on both sides, and facing mountains in the distance. The entire mausoleum area is equally majestic and orderly.
Standing on the back of the mountain and looking at the layers of buildings at the foot of the mountain, it is easy to think that this is the mausoleum area of the emperors of the Central Plains. The tombs of the previous kings and other people are separated by pine forests and red walls, which further shows their strict hierarchy. Even though everyone is a biological brother from the same parents, the king is the king, the general is the general, and the lieutenant is the lieutenant. Rights and treatment are different when you are alive, and your dignity should not be disturbed even after death.
And when I think of Taizu's Xiaoling Mausoleum, from the design to the construction, it was all the work of the Guilin prince. The layout of this royal tomb might have come from his handiwork, or at least it came from his true biography. Although according to the rules, if his coffin is moved back secretly, it may not necessarily be on the backer. But according to the habits of Chinese people for thousands of years, father and son should not be too far apart. And based on seniority, the location of the mausoleum should be from top to bottom.
This mountain that supports the entire royal tomb is at least the highest mountain in the royal tomb area. And according to the few Feng Shui memories I have left, this backing is also where the so-called dragon lairs gather. It can even be said that this backing is the place with the best feng shui in the entire Jingjiang Mansion, at least where I have seen it. And around the royal tomb, there is no place that is better than this mountain in terms of the shape of the mountains and rivers and the direction of the mountains. What if the tomb in Xiaoling is really empty?
If his coffin is secretly transported back to Jingjiang Mansion, then his mausoleum will definitely be on this mountain. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a little tired and doubtful. Could it be that he had really guessed wrong? impossible. After I paid homage to Xiaoling, I went to the cemetery of the Guilin Prince to have a look. A director of the Xijing Ministry of Industry who was accompanying me at that time, who was older than Kanyu, once shook his head and told himself. Although the royal tomb is very close to Xiaoling Feng Shui Wall.
But the so-called feng shui of the location is actually the worst among the dozens of tombs surrounding the Xiaoling Mausoleum where the founding heroes were buried. From the perspective of Feng Shui, although it cannot be said to be a desperate situation. But it's definitely not a good place. At least around Xiaoling, it has the worst Feng Shui pattern. But this cemetery was chosen by the Guilin County Prince himself after he was rewarded by Taizu to be buried with him in the Xiaoling Mausoleum. When Emperor Taizong succeeded to the throne, he originally wanted to find a better Feng Shui place for his father-in-law in the mausoleum area.
But because he was the king of Guilin at the time, once he was buried, his descendants would not have to worry about it. For future generations to be self-reliant and self-reliant, this is the last word of the best Feng Shui, but it can only be given up. He is so upright and upright, and as his son-in-law and benefactor, it's hard for him to violate it, right? In addition, not long after Taizong succeeded to the throne, he was busy moving the capital to Jingzhao, and for a while he did not take it into consideration. Therefore, the Guilin County Prince stayed in that position in his tomb in Xiaoling for more than a hundred years.
The director of the Ministry of Industry was chatting with Huang Qiong all the way. I don’t understand why the Prince of Guilin, who single-handedly laid the foundation for Taizu’s Xiaoling Mausoleum, chose such a semi-Jedi for himself. The entire mausoleum was not built according to the imperial court's customization. Even if the stone figures and horses are not built, the Xiang Hall and the Side Hall are not allowed to be built. In a simple courtyard, except for the stone arch table, all other ancillary buildings are not built. Even the tombstones are few and far between.
No title, official position, or contribution was mentioned. The huge tombstone only said the tomb of Liu Moumou, a Guangzhou native. Not only that, it is also said that the tomb was extremely small, even smaller than an ordinary wealthy family. They use ordinary green bricks, which are not carved or specially fired. A tomb chamber has been built, and the custom-made tens of thousands of green bricks have not been used up. There were also several veterans who volunteered to guard the tomb. Two rows of houses were built for them to live in and guard the tomb.
When the Guilin County Prince was buried, he was buried with nothing but a nanmu coffin gifted by Taizu. Although Huang Qiong was nagging the chief executive, he just took it as a joke. But judging from the specifications of the entire cemetery, it is true that not only is the feng shui extremely poor, but the construction can be described as sloppy. The condition inside is unknown at the moment. The outside is just a wall skirt built with blue bricks. If it hadn't been for the meticulous care taken by the Ministry of Industry over the past hundred years, the entire cemetery would have collapsed long ago.
Because before his death, the Guilin County King said that future generations would not need to travel thousands of miles to pay homage to him. The imperial court can handle everything about the memorial and sweeping of your own tomb according to customization. If you miss yourself, you can set up a small hall in your house to enshrine your portrait and tablet, and light incense during festivals. If the descendants are really serious, living a good life and having fewer prodigal sons would be the greatest filial piety towards him. As for those false gifts, there is no need for them.
The Guilin County Prince single-handedly chose the location of Taizu’s mausoleum. After the capital was moved, the Gong County Mausoleum area where the tombs of emperors of all dynasties were located was said to have been secretly selected for Emperor Taizong when the Guilin County Prince blocked the garrison in Luoyang. Even if it is a rumor, it is enough to show that if the Guilin County Prince is not a Feng Shui master, he is at least a Feng Shui master. Such a person, even if he doesn't believe in that thing, will definitely not choose such a poor place for himself.
Even if he doesn't think about himself, he must at least think about his descendants. Therefore, Huang Qiong did not believe at all that the Guilin County Prince's Head Mausoleum outside the Xiaoling Feng Shui Wall would be his real mausoleum. Huang Qiong did not insist on opening the tomb of the first hero of the founding of the country in order to pursue someone or something. But he wanted to solve the doubts that had been in his heart since he read the "The Chronicles of Taizu". And these doubts can probably be solved only by finding the tomb.
The salt-drying method, tea-frying method, cannon-casting method, and Wuwei Bank, these things that were originally unrelated, all came from the same person. And many things here should at least appear hundreds of years later. But suddenly appearing in the late Tang and early Qi dynasties, Huang Qiong could not help but wonder that the background of the Guilin County Prince was similar to his own. It is precisely these doubts that are the reason why Huang Qiong insists on finding the tomb to find answers.
After working hard all day, he got nothing, which undoubtedly made Huang Qiong very disappointed. In Huang Qiong's view, no matter how hidden the royal tomb was built and only the earth was moved, traces of man-made work can still be seen on the ground. As long as you find traces, you can find the location of the tomb passage. And using a mountain as a mausoleum is indeed stronger than a mausoleum dug on flat ground. But there is also a big disadvantage, that is, except for the soil outside. The entrance to the tomb can only be blocked with a stone at most.
Other than that, basically you can't do much, after all, there is really little room for maneuver. As long as you find traces of artificial soil cultivation, it is basically equivalent to finding the entrance to the tomb. Compared with the naturally accumulated soil, the biggest disadvantage of artificially cultivated soil on mountains is that it is not so solid due to human disturbance. Especially in the rainy southern mountainous areas, landslides and landslides are prone to occur. Once it accumulates many times, the artificial traces will be too obvious.
But today, Huang Qiong and his people walked almost the entire front side of the mountainside, but they were still unable to find any trace of artificial disturbance. Even if they knew it, even if the soil was filled at the entrance of the tomb, it would be impossible to dig it out on the spot. Moreover, over the past hundred years of wind and rain, even if there is no artificial disturbance on the ground, there will be some changes. But Huang Qiong was still unwilling to give up. In such a large mountainous area, where is the tomb passage? Huang Qiong had another headache.
I can't mobilize my troops and dig this mountain thoroughly. It was just when Huang Qiong was sizing up this mountain of support that he came with the order, but it was because Huang Qiong went up the mountain early in the morning and Liu Jinli, who had been waiting for a day to see him, interrupted Huang Qiong's train of thought. After announcing the person in, facing Liu Jinli who was about to salute, Huang Qiong waved his hand and said: "Forget about those vain things. Although there is a distinction between monarch and minister, there is no monarch in my heart, and no matter how many gifts I give, it will be in vain. of."
After ordering someone to give Liu Jinli a seat and serve tea, Huang Qiongcai said calmly: "Now that the matter is settled, I don't want to say anything more about it. If I preach too much, it will make people upset. Talking. Although I dare not curse out loud, I can't figure out how to curse me. Besides, Brother Liu is a sensible person and understands how people deal with each other, so there is no need to say too much. The reason why I found Brother Liu today is I came here because I know that this is Brother Liu’s roots.”
"I am here just to tell Brother Liu. You can venture out boldly. No matter how far you go, I and my descendants will protect this area for you. As long as Daqi is here, No one dares to disturb Brother Liu's ancestors. Therefore, no matter how far Brother Liu goes, he does not have to worry about his ancestors being offended in any way. Of course, this premise is that Brother Liu does not take advantage of the court's influence Support to restore strength, then come back to bite the imperial court."
"If Brother Liu really doesn't worry about me or my descendants, it's okay to find another geomantic treasure land and move the tombs of ancestors after we truly stabilize. However, my thoughts are still here. Okay. After all, since the ancestors of the Liu family have been buried, it is better to do less or no fuss than to fuss in vain."
