Speaking of the "Forbidden City", everyone must be familiar with it, it is the largest surviving royal complex in the world, and it is a non-material inheritance that we are proud of. In the hearts of the people, the "Forbidden City" has always been very mysterious, but with the opening of the museum, the Forbidden City has now become the most favored tourist punch-in attraction, but who has ever thought that this Forbidden City that can be visited by the people at will has always been buried in the underground with earth-shattering secrets, and all those who once knew about it have been wiped out.
It is said that this secret was discovered by accident. One day, the maintenance workers of the Forbidden City carried out daily maintenance of the Forbidden City as usual, and suddenly found a crack in the ground, and several tiles were scattered outside. There was a flaw in the repair of the Forbidden City, and this matter was not trivial and could not be sloppy, so it was quickly reported to the superiors.
To this end, the Forbidden City repair department set up a special investigation team, experts slowly found that from this crack to uncover the upper floor tiles, the bottom also laid a thick layer of floor tiles, and then uncovered another layer, it seems that it will never come to the end. Later, after inspecting the overall architectural layout of the Forbidden City, experts found that the ground of the Taihedian Square was paved with 15 floor tiles, and it was also seven horizontal floors and eight vertical floors.
Why is the floor of the Forbidden City paved with 15 floor tiles? Is it because the emperor has more silver? Friends who are familiar with history should know that the Forbidden City was built by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di in Yongle in the fourth year, and it was not completed until the eighteenth year of Yongle, the project took 14 years, and the number of laborers was as high as 300,000.
Zhu Di was the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the origin of the throne was not justified, at that time, under the pretext of "Qing Jun's side", the king of the clan rebelled, although in the name of Jingnan, but everyone knew that it was the words of the people who were confused.
In order to stabilize the regime, Zhu Di launched a large number of killings, especially against those former ministers. Zhu Di asked Fang Xiaoru to write an edict, and Fang Xiaoru preferred to die rather than write, and finally was divided into corpses by five horses, because of this incident, 870 people died. As an old vassal of Emperor Jianwen, Huang Zicheng was equally loyal, and was also executed by Che Rift, almost all of his clan members were beheaded, and female dependents were sent to remote and barbaric lands.
Therefore, "Zhu Di" has many enemies, and he is often afraid of assassins sneaking up on him, tossing and turning at night, and often dreaming of the unjust souls he killed to ask for his life. Therefore, he ordered the walls of the palace to be heightened and thickened, repaired to a height of more than ten meters, and laid a thick layer of more than a dozen layers of bricks underground to prevent the assassins from entering the palace.
It is said that the laborers responsible for laying these floor tiles at that time were all secretly executed, so that the protective measures under the floor tiles became an eternal secret, leaving no trace in history.
There are the towering walls of the Forbidden City, and there are more than a dozen layers of thick floor tiles underneath, no one can easily turn in and assassinate the emperor, after all, the Ming Dynasty Ancestor Zhu Di's Jiangshan is not easy to come by, as the saying goes, "be careful to make the ten thousand years ship", only more comprehensive protection can make the throne more stable.
