Did Dong Zhuo really steal Emperor Wu of Han's Mausoleum? Why did he go to rob Mao Ling

The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.

Dong Zhuo was fierce in nature and did a lot of bad things, so he left a notoriety in history, but he also had a gentle side, that is, to his little granddaughter Dong Bai.

Dong Bai was born beautifully and was extremely intelligent. The only thing is not good, is a dumb.

Dong Zhuo especially loved Dong Bai, in order to cure Dong Bai's dumb disease, he searched for famous doctors, I don't know how many elixirs I asked, but there was no effect.

In 189 AD, Dong Zhuo, who had been coveting the central government, finally waited for the opportunity.

After the Han Shao Emperor Liu Yan succeeded to the throne, due to his young age, he was ruled by Empress He Linchao.

At this time, the Eastern Han Dynasty was ruled by foreign relatives and eunuchs in turn, and the royal power was already very weak.

In order to compete for control of the imperial court, foreign relatives He Jin and eunuch Zhang Rang even fought for your life and death. As a great general, He Jin issued a secret order to order Dong Zhuo to enter Luoyang to "the evil of the army side by army".

Dong Zhuo was very brainy, and he led the army to stop and go, not hurriedly or slowly marching towards Luoyang. Sure enough, before he reached the border of Luoyang, he learned that Zhang Rang had already attacked first and killed He Jin.

Dong Zhuo's spirit was greatly encouraged, and after learning of Liu Zheng's whereabouts, he quickly arrived and welcomed Liu Di back to Luoyang, declaring himself minister of state, and thus opening up the mode of "holding the son of heaven hostage to order the princes".

In order to be able to hold power alone, Dong Zhuo successively deposed Liu Xie and installed Liu Xie, who was 5 years younger than Liu Xie, as emperor, and then executed Empress He and his ministers who hindered him, replacing the leadership core circle of the Eastern Han Court with his own confidants.

In this way, the emperor's abolition, the appointment and dismissal of courtiers, and the decision-making of political affairs were all decided by him alone, and even Liu Xie was just a decoration.

After coming to power, Dong Zhuo not only wantonly enfeoffed the Dong clan, but also crowned his mother as Chi Yangjun, and equipped her with an honor guard that only royal princesses have.

Granddaughter Dong Bai is only 10 years old, not yet the age to get a title. But Dong Zhuo loved her, broke the stereotype, crowned her as Weiyang Jun, and held a grand canonization ceremony for her. Let her ride in the green cover car and have the military general follow behind her car. When she went to the altar to hold a ceremony, she accepted the seal.

Dong Zhuo heard that among the funeral items of Emperor Wu of Han, there was a folk remedy for dumb disease, and he was overjoyed, so he ordered his general Lü Bu to look for it in the tomb of Emperor Wu of Han.

In that year, shortly after Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne, he began the construction of Maoling. Every year, he allocates one-third of the state's tax revenue to the construction of the mausoleum. It was later increased to one-half, taking more than 50 years to complete.

Maoling is not only grand in scale, but also "money and property, birds, animals, fish and turtles, cattle, tigers, leopards and birds, all one hundred and ninety things, all the things are hidden", so the stolen tombs are more worried. Before Lü Bu entered, he had already been looted once by the Chimei Army, and it is said that the jewels in the mausoleum were moved for dozens of days, and "the objects in the mausoleum still cannot be halved."

The reason why Dong Zhuo wanted to fight Maoling's idea was, on the one hand, to find a cure for dumb disease; On the other hand, he absorbed the army of He Jin and others, and the number of them increased several times, requiring a large amount of money to support these people.

Lü Bu was also not ambiguous, and he entered Maoling with his generals, and there were many treasures, but the remedies that Dong Zhuo wanted could not be found.

Finally, it is said that Lü Bu pried open the coffin of Emperor Wu of Han and turned it over for a long time before he turned over a roll of yellow drapery, which read: "Thousand Mile Grass, He Qingqing, Ten Days Bu, no birth." ”

Lü Bu looked at it for half a day, did not think about it, thinking that probably this was a folk remedy, so he took it back and handed it to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo also studied for half a day, but he still did not understand his meaning. So he took it to the court and asked the courtiers. As a result, the courtiers were just silent. As soon as Dong Zhuo saw the bear-like appearance of the ministers, he did not bat an eyelid and immediately threw a tantrum.

Only then did a minister say tremblingly, "This subordinate does not dare to say." ”

When Dong Zhuo saw the strangeness, he waved his hand and said, "Although you say it, you will not be punished." ”

Only then did the minister say, "Thousand Mile Grass, it is clearly a Dong character." Ten days is clearly a Zhuo character, this sentence is to say 'Dong Zhuo must not die well'..."

Dong Zhuo thought that not only had he not found the home remedies, but he had also been humiliated and cursed, and he could not help but be ashamed and angry, and he was also an extremely violent person, and immediately ordered the body of Emperor Wu of Han to be dragged out of the coffin "violent corpse".

When the courtiers saw that he wanted to insult the former emperor, they could not help but be shocked, and collectively elected Cai Yong to persuade him. It is said that if he moved the tomb of Emperor Wu of Han, he was afraid that it would damage the dragon vein and affect the hegemony when the time came.

Dong Zhuo, who was bent on replacing the Han Chamber, retracted the order and had the body of Emperor Wu of Han put back in the coffin, and put the stolen treasure back into the tomb and repaired it.

However, although there is a saying in the history of Dong Zhuo robbing the tomb. However, there is no record of him exposing the body of Emperor Wu of Han. As for the words "QianliCao, He Qingqing, Ten Days Bu, and Must Not Be Born" from the tomb of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because it is too "coincidental", it is not excluded that because Dong Zhuo's reputation is too bad, it is not ruled out that it may be fabricated by later generations.

Well, today's sharing ends here, and we'll see you next time
