On this sunny day, in a park in Nanjing, two old men were lying on the Taishi chair, listening to the radio with their eyes closed, and one of the more funny-looking old men took a sip of tea. Looking at the old man who was squinting comfortably next to him, he said, "Old Li, have you heard?" The Ming Tomb outside the city, the concubines buried inside, the legs and feet are separated, shaped into a figure eight, this Zhu Yuanzhang will not have that habit, okay? Hey. ”
The old man named Old Li squinted at the funny old man, as if he were looking at the fool, and turned his head to continue squinting.
"Hey, old Li, what do you mean by this look?" The funny old man was a little embarrassed and impatient.
"It doesn't mean anything." Old Li lazily replied to this old friend with a word in his mouth, knowing that he had broken his mouth without going through his brain.
"Doesn't that mean you insult me with your eyes?" The funny old man's heart began to burn.
"Alas..." After Old Li sighed, he lazily explained, "Old Zhang, you should listen to me carefully." ”
(Ming Tomb)
"This Zhu Yuanzhang is the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and since he was a child, his parents and brothers have starved to death, and he has lived by begging for food. Later, I heard that there was food in the temple, so I ran to become a monk. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in chaos, the temple could not afford to raise it, and the monks were dismissed, and in order to have enough to eat, he had no choice but to join the army and revolt. Who knew that if he was not careful, he would become an emperor. After the death of this legendary emperor, he was affected by the backward ideas of the rural people, and felt that after his death, he still needed his wives to accompany him, so he asked his grandson to help and let his wives be buried with him. ”
"Alas..." Old Li sighed again, "this is a sad historical event, a long time ago abolished people martyrdom, he Zhu Yuanzhang picked it up again." The funny old man subconsciously asked, "Later?" ”
A total of forty concubines were buried to Zhu Yuanzhang, which were recorded in the book "Wan LiYe Zhi Zhi". How it was buried at that time, no one knows. However, some clues can be seen from the later records of Zhu Di's concubines' burials. One of Zhu Di's concubines was from North Korea, and her wet nurse also came from North Korea, and she witnessed how the master she served died, specifically after she returned to China, the oral record was recorded in the "Records of Li Dynasty Shilu Sejong", first let the martyred concubines eat a full meal, and then take them to the ascension hall, that is, the place where the neck was hanging. During this time, the concubines were afraid, sad and desperate, and cried bitterly. In the ascension hall, there were already white silks hanging up, and there were stools underneath, and the concubines stepped on the stools and put them on their necks, and the eunuchs below drew the stools and then hanged themselves. There were also some frightened concubines who did not dare to hang, and several eunuchs strangled them together... It's pathetic. Old Man Li said those records, and his eyes were almost wet.
(Buried concubine)
"Lao Zhang, who did you listen to when the concubines' legs and feet were separated into a figure-of-eight shape?" Old Man Li took a sip of tea.
Old Zhang's face was red, and he said, "I saw on the Internet that there is this topic, and many people have written articles to echo it, some say that it is because of the problem of the disc bone, some say that it is the problem of water flui, and even more that it is because it was ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang, or that the buried person deliberately did it, saying that there is a nose and an eye, I believe it." ”
"Bullshit!" Old Li scolded, his face became excited: "This Ming Xiaoling Tomb, since its establishment, has not been officially excavated, you see, since the Manchu Qing Entered the Customs, Nanjing was laid, and the Qing soldiers were stationed at the Ming Xiaoling, although they caused great damage to the surface buildings of the Ming Xiaoling Tomb, and also used knives to cut the pillars of the Hall of Enjoyment." But because Dorgon entered the customs under the banner of revenge for Chongzhen. Therefore, Duo Duo personally visited the Ming Tomb, ordered the monks of linggu temple to repair it, and sent 40 households to protect it. After the Qing court sat firmly in the world, it later sent eunuchs and some tomb keepers to manage protection. Old Li took another sip of tea to moisten his throat.
"Until the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom occupied Nanjing, and the Qing Army fought at this time, it was the period when the Ming Xiaoling building was most damaged, but they did not excavate the Ming Xiaoling Tomb in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!" Until the founding of the Republic of China, Mr. Sun, the father of the country, personally went to the Ming Tomb to worship and exhaust, and did not excavate, until the founding of New China, until now, there is no excavation. So, in the case that the authorities did not excavate or even send troops to protect them, who knew that the legs and feet of Zhu Yuanzhang's concubines were separated in a figure-of-eight shape?
Grave robbers? There are such grave robbers with hands and eyes? Stealing under the protection of the army and the tomb keepers? ”
(Balance of Heaven)
Old Li took another sip of tea, squinted his eyes at the funny old Zhang, and Lao Zhang's face was full of red, and he sipped: "Maybe which ancient book recorded it?" ”
Old Li opened his mouth to strike at Lao Zhang again: "Ancient books record? Only official records and documents can be correct, the problem is that the official documents do not record wow. You think that only the people involved in the sealing of the tomb know the specific situation, and these people have not left a single word record. So old Zhang you have to take some brains when you go out later. ”
Funny old Zhang was used to being hit, and hey hey smiled: "This is not you, I pay attention to your number, and then I will read your article to answer Ha." ”
Old Li couldn't do anything with this old friend, so he had to hold the shelf, leisurely take a sip of tea, continue to squint and lie down, listening to the hundreds of lives on the radio.
