The archaeological team opened the Guangxu Mausoleum, the reason why it was vomiting first, it must be the bones of the dead people that made people sick; the reason why the cheers were boiling, must have been to pick up the treasure.
The Guangxu Emperor was a poor creature who lived in the shadow of Empress Dowager Cixi all his life, unable to take charge of anything, unable to utter a word, not only was his movement restricted, but even his right to speak was clamped down, like a puppet, at the mercy of others, and even not allowed to have his own thoughts.
Therefore, although Guangxu was an emperor, he could not build his own mausoleum early in his lifetime like other normal emperors.
Moreover, he belonged to the violent death, and he returned to the west almost at the same time as Empress Dowager Cixi.
Empress Dowager Cixi had a "good home"—her husband, the Xianfeng Emperor, who, after ascending the throne, built the Dingling Tomb on the ping'anyu in the qing dynasty, which was completed in the fifth year of Tongzhi (1866). In the twelfth year of Tongzhi (1873), empress dowager Ci'an and Empress Dowager Cixi's Dingdong tomb also broke ground at Puxiangyu and Bodhisattva Yu on the east side of Dingling, and was completed at the same time in the fifth year of Guangxu (1879).
After Empress Dowager Cixi's death, her power grew stronger and greater, and later, she had completely suppressed the Guangxu Emperor and was lawless, so she hated that her mausoleum was not grand enough, and she was not comfortable enough to sleep, and ordered the renovation. This renovation took 13 years to renovate and was magnificently renovated.
However, no matter how magnificent the decoration was, in the end it was bombarded and ruined by the warlord Sun Dianying, which is a pity.
Then again.
Guangxu died suddenly and violently, and there was no place to bury him.
His mausoleum was only broken in the first year of Xuantong (1909), and the site of the mausoleum was chosen in Jinlongyu, about four kilometers southeast of Tailing.
Originally known as Weijiagou, this Jinlongyu was renamed Jiulongyu during the Tongzhi period and later changed to Jinlongyu.
Mr. Feng Shui said that this is a treasure land of feng shui, and burying the emperor of the Qing Dynasty here can protect the Qing Dynasty for thousands of generations.
The Qianlong Emperor once wanted to choose the tomb of his son Yonglian, crown prince Duanhui, who died prematurely, but later gave up.
The Daoguang Emperor also chose this place as a mausoleum, but still chose Baohuayu in the territory of Tanglin.
The Xianfeng Emperor also considered the two treasures of Jinlongyu and Longquanyu, but finally chose Ping'anyu within the boundaries of Tanglin.
Empress Dowager Cixi chose jinlongyu of the Qing Dynasty and Shuangshanyu of the Qing Dynasty Tombs for the Tongzhi Emperor, but she destroyed the Zhaomu system established by the Qianlong Emperor and chose the tomb of the Tongzhi Emperor at the Shuangshan Yu of the Qing Dynasty.
Then, the feng shui treasure land of Jinlongyu was left to the Guangxu Emperor.
It turns out that Mr. Feng Shui's words are the life of the Qing Dynasty.
After the Guangxu Emperor was buried in the Chongling Tomb built in Jinlongyu, the Qing Dynasty completely died.
In 1928, Sun Dianying excavated the Yuling Tomb of the Qianlong Emperor and the Dingdong Tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi.
Ten years later, in 1938, an unidentified group of pawns excavated the Chongling Tomb of the Guangxu Emperor.
The modus operandi of this group of ruffian soldiers was very skillful, and they used pine-dried wood chips to skillfully pluck the tap stones of each stone gate, calmly entered the underground palace, and sprinkled the treasures in the tomb of Huan.
Guangxu lived in a nest, but the Number and scale of the Chongling Tombs built behind him were exactly the same as the Huiling Tombs in Tongzhi.
The archives of the Qing Qing officials contained a list of the burial items of the Guangxu Emperor, and as many as 38 boxes of items were buried, including green jade bergamot hairpins, green jade gourds, dadong beads, rice block beads, pearls, small flying beads, various gemstones, various precious furs, satin clothes and robes, and so on.
However, these things were all looted by thieves.
In order to achieve "not a single piece left", the thieves not only smelled, sniffed, and planed every corner of the tomb like a dog, but they also used an axe to cut a round hole with a diameter of about 3 feet in front of the Guangxu Emperor's Zi Palace, dragged the body of the Guangxu Emperor outside the coffin, and then stole the burial goods inside the coffin.
They were "gentle" toward Empress Longyu's Zi Palace—unscrewed the lid from above and stole the burial materials.
However, the method of copying the treasure chest was quite rough, smashing and smashing it, stealing the precious jade book and treasure seal inside, and making a mess on the ground.
In this way, inside the Chongling Underground Palace, there should be nothing valuable anymore.
Therefore, in the decades after that, no one paid attention to the Chongling Underground Palace.
In 1980, the cultural relics department, with the cooperation of the troops, entered the Chongling Underground Palace to carry out rescue excavations.
Because the coffin of the Guangxu Emperor had been destroyed, the body of the Guangxu Emperor was very badly decomposed, only the lower leg was still attached to the rotten flesh, the rest were all Sensen white bones, and the bones inside the coffin were surrounded by mud-like paste, and those who saw it were all disgusted.
Empress Longyu's bones were even more miserable, because the water at the top of the underground palace dripped in for many years, and the whole body was semi-suspended, and mixed with the fragrant wood in the coffin into a paste, which was shocking.
However, the Emperor's heavens paid off.
When archaeologists cleaned the bones of Empress Longyu, they found a heavy brocade bag on her lower body.
Thankfully, I opened the bag and it contained hundreds of jewels!
The thieves searched for thousands of times, but finally missed this bag of treasure.
There is no reason not to cheer, no reason not to jump.
