There are a total of fourteen generations of jingjiang kings, but there are only eleven royal tombs at the foot of Yaoshan Mountain, because the first generation of kings Zhu Shouqian was demoted to a commoner, and later died in Nanjing, and the thirteenth and fourteenth generations of Jingjiang kings in the last days could not be buried in the tombs due to the war after the Qing army entered the pass. Among these eleven royal tombs, the Gonghui Tomb of the Eighth King Zhu Bangping is particularly impressive, although compared with the rebuilt Zhuangjian Tomb and the Kangqi King Mausoleum, it is not so magnificent, only some ruins and various stone statues are left, but the tragic story of Zhu Bangping and Aifei Tengshi has made countless people sigh. The reporter stood on the wide Shinto road in front of the tomb of King Gonghui and looked at the various sites in front of him that were full of historical vicissitudes, and he also had a lot of feelings.
The Tomb of Gonghui king of Jingjiang is a joint burial tomb of Zhu Bangmao and Princess Teng, which is much more rigorous than the earlier tombs in terms of shape, materials and architectural techniques. There are 12 pairs of Shinto stone statues here, which is half more than the first Zhu Zanyi to be buried in the royal tomb. These stone statues are arranged neatly, from far and near, the gatekeeper lion, the pillar, the fox, the sheep, the tiger, the unicorn, the samurai controlling the horse, the elephant, the bing wat Weng Zhong, the Shinto stele, the male attendant, and the female attendant. In the wilderness, because of the existence of these stone statues, the royal majesty is fully displayed.

According to Zhou Tongxin, a staff member of the Jingjiang King's Tomb Museum in Guilin, the early stone works of the Jingjiang King's Tomb (represented by the Tomb of the Mourning King, the Tomb of the King of Huaishun and the Tomb of the King of Zhuang Jian) follow the Tang and Song dynasties, with a large body, the overall short fat and stout, ancient and simple, but the lines are not smooth enough, and the proportion of the stone carvings is not accurate enough. When it came time to build the Tomb of King Gonghui, the stone carving techniques of the craftsmen were inherited from their predecessors while incorporating new skills. As a result, the regulations of this royal tomb are more rigorous, the shape of the stone statue is simple and realistic, and the carving technique is much more concise and skilled. Every stone statue is worth stopping for half a day and carefully observing.
The current Tomb of King Gonghui is the joint tomb of Zhu Bangfeng and Princess Teng. Teng died in the sixteenth year of Jiajing (1537) at the age of 25. Zhu Bangfeng lived to the sixth year of Longqing (1572). Therefore, the Teng clan was originally buried on the east side of the Ancestral Tomb of Yaoshan Mountain, and it was not until after the death of Zhu Bang that the two were buried together.

The reporter checked the information and learned that Teng Shi was a native of Guilin Quanzhou, and his father, Teng Yu, was the commander of the Beicheng Terracotta Army. Compared with the royal family, such a family lineage is relatively ordinary. However, Grandma Teng Yu's brother Jiang Mian had a lot to offer. Jiang Mian was 15 years old in Zhongxi Township, 25 years old, 54 years old, and at the age of 55, he was crowned crown prince Taifu Lingwu Yingdian University scholar, and he and Yang Ting, the first assistant at the time, and Yingli Zhu Houxi, succeeded to the throne as the new emperor. Because of his meritorious achievements and achievements in welcoming the new emperor, Jiang Mian can be said to be the highest official in the Ming Dynasty in the past three hundred years.
Jiang Mian and Zhu Bangping still have quite a relationship, because Zhu Bangfeng's father Zhu Jingfu's mausoleum Shinto inscription "Daming Jingjiang Wang Ansu Wang Shinto Stele" was written by Jiang Mian. Because of Zhu Bangping's humble attitude, he left a good impression on Jiang Mian and gladly agreed with this family affair.
With such a background, coupled with The Teng family's own "sincerity and obedience", serving the two female concubines is also 120,000 points of filial piety, Zhu Bangfeng is also very pleased. In the two or three years after his canonization, Zhu Bangfeng often opposed local dignitaries, literati and scholars, and relatives of the clan to recite poems, and his life was very comfortable. Two years later, Zhu Bangfeng was ordered by his mother's concubine to take the "good and considerate" maid Zheng Shi as a concubine. There is a loving mother on the top, a virtuous wife inside, a beautiful concubine in the house, and Zhu Bangfeng's life is even more leisurely.
However, there are only three things. After taking the third concubine Liu Shi, Zhu Bang's good life came to an end. This time to take a concubine, Zhu Bangzhi was reluctant, and once shirked it on the grounds that the big wedding had not lasted long. However, the concubine Xu Shi let her son take the concubine Guangsi heartily, and Zhu Bangzhi could only obey.
And so the tragedy begins.
Teng was buried in the eighteenth year of Jiajing (1539). More than 500 years later, archaeologists found two stone carvings in the underground palace of King Gonghui's mausoleum, and the text later explained that the thousands of words on the stone carvings were written by Zhu Bangtou to mourn the Teng family.
These two stone carvings are now displayed in the Jingjiang King Mausoleum Museum. The "Stone Carvings of the Concubines of the Emperor Ming Jingjiang" recalls the life and virtuousness of the Teng family: the Teng family is the main room, the noble is the princess, but "sincere and obedient", and the waiter "looks at the kitchen". This stele also recalls Liu's arrogance: as a side chamber, Liu's jealousy and unscrupulous means in order to compete for status.
The stone carvings of the Emperor Ming Jingjiang Mourning Concubine are now in the Jingjiang King Mausoleum Museum.
The inscription mentions that the Teng and Liu clan clashed many times, but the princess Teng was born pure and good, and repeatedly tolerated it. On December 19, 16, Jiajing, Liu Shi, who was called "Concubine" by Wang Ye, once again competed for favors and caused trouble, and the princess was kind enough to coordinate the solution, but "the concubine was arrogant", "the clamor was unspeakably dirty", and "the concubine was jealous and speechless." He died at the end of the twentieth day. ”
This eulogy is the longest and most tragic of the 14 kings of the Jingjiang Royal Palace. Zhu Bangping said to himself that the article was "tearful letter pen" in the context of "liver and intestines being broken, and the mind was absurd", "talking about the pain of Zhiyu, and not counting the words and the words of the words." In the whole text, there are as many as a dozen places where Liu's concubines are cursed, and their jealousy, fierceness, hardship, arbitrariness and other evil deeds are counted, and hatred comes out of the stone. Zhu Bangfeng even cried out in the altar text: "Please ask Heaven to condemn this rebellion."
On another piece of the "Stone Carvings of the Ming Dynasty Mourning Concubine Teng", there are also three inscriptions, written when Teng shi just died and two years later in November and December, all of which pin Zhu Bangfeng's sorrow. After reading it all, you can also feel that it is a good article with a lot of emotion. However, these two stone carvings were buried in the tomb with the burial of the Teng family, and the Liu family was probably unaware.
Stone carvings of the Ming Dynasty mourning concubine Teng. It is now in the collection of the Jingjiang King Mausoleum Museum.
According to the research of local scholars in Guilin, these eulogies were indeed written by Zhu Bangfeng himself, but they were edited by the left chang Shi Gaokai and the right chang Shi Wu Chaoxi, written by the yi school Luo Jingquan Mo, and built by the deputy Yang Tang and the deputy secretary of the dianbao, and finally the heavy gold ceremony asked the Guilin government stone carving master Jin Youqi to engrave.
Hundreds of years have passed, the miserable Teng clan and Zhu Bangfeng have been underground for eternity, and the wanton Liu clan can only be buried far away. However, although Liu Shi was later snubbed by the King of Jingjiang, he was not subjected to the "heavenly condemnation" prayed for in Zhu Bang's sacrifice text, and her eldest son Zhu Renchang successfully became the ninth king of Jingjiang.
