Today's story begins in 265 AD. This year, the Western Jin Dynasty, which was established with two generations of people, officially entered the big stage of Chinese history. Throughout the Western Jin Dynasty, although the chaotic situation during the Three Kingdoms period was ended, China entered a brief period of unification. However, because of the incompetence of the rulers, after experiencing the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the Western Jin Dynasty, which was not strong at all, was seriously injured until it was destroyed by Former Zhao in 316, and Guozuo only lasted for 51 years...
During these 51 years, the Western Jin Dynasty produced a total of 4 emperors. Among these four emperors, Emperor Huai's Sima Chi and Emperor Huan's Sima Yi were both killed by Liu Cong, which was considered to be a foreign country. Emperor Wu and Emperor Hui, Sima Zheng, both died in Luoyang and were buried with their ancestors. In this way, counting the plateau mausoleum of Emperor Xuan's Sima Yi, the Junping Mausoleum of Emperor Jing's Sima Shi, and the Chongyang Mausoleum of Emperor Wen's Sima Zhao, there should be five imperial tombs in the Western Jin Dynasty.
However, the paradox is that for some reason, these imperial tombs, like the dynasties to which they belong, do not have much sense of existence in Chinese history, and their specific locations have not been known, and no matter how the tomb robbers find them, they have not been found. It was only in recent years that these imperial tombs, which had been quietly hidden in the mountains for more than a thousand years, were discovered by archaeologists.
What is even more interesting is that the imperial tomb of Sima Yi, the founder of the Western Jin Dynasty, was even made a big joke by Zhang Guan and Li Dai, and finally could only rely on tomb robbers to correct it.
As we all know, Sima Yi was a shrewd figure that even Zhuge Liang was jealous of. Such a scheming figure, the location of his mausoleum, of course, has become a topic of great interest to later generations. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Gong Songlin of Luoyang Zhi County once tossed and turned for a while about this good life. Finally, after "careful" identification, Gong Songlin identified an earthen mound north of the old city of Luoyang as Sima Yi's mausoleum.
This mound, which was hooked by the hands of Lord Zhixian and Sima Yi, became a famous scenic spot in the Luoyang area at that time, and tourists flocked to the mound to express their complex and delicate feelings for Sima Yi.
However, no one expected that after more than 200 years, this mound was finally verified by a group of tomb robbers.
It turned out that in the early days of the founding of New China, this ancient tomb attracted the attention of a group of tomb robbers. They chiseled through thick rammed earth in the hope of making a windfall from this "imperial tomb.". Who knew that after they had worked so hard to enter the underground palace, they found that this mound was not an imperial tomb at all. The epitaph they found in the underground palace clearly records that the owner of this mound was originally Yuan Yi, the king of the Qinghe River of Northern Wei.
Disappointed, the tomb robbers swept away all the funerary goods in the dungeon, leaving only the epitaph they thought was worthless. In 1965, archaeologists in New China entered the underground palace along the robbery hole left by the tomb robbers, and found this epitaph, which was confirmed to be the shape of the Northern Wei tomb, and the theory of Sima Yi's mausoleum was self-defeating.
A tangtang zhixian actually mistakenly believed that the tomb was hanging on the throne, which was already a laugh and generous thing, and what made people laugh off their teeth even more was that this ridiculous mistake was actually corrected by relying on tomb robbers, if Gong Songlin knew about it underground, I don't know how he would feel?
