On August 21, the thirteenth year of Yongzheng (1735), the Yongzheng Emperor suddenly fell ill, and 2 days later, this diligent and powerful tyrant suddenly died violently in the Palace of the Yuanmingyuan. Due to the unknown content of the official records, there have been various theories about the violent death of the Yongzheng Emperor, some people say that they are killed, some people say that they killed, and even reasonably suspected that it was poisoning caused by overdose of Dan medicine. In addition, the tomb of the Yongzheng Emperor is also quite bizarre, he was not buried in the Qing Dongling, but chose to be buried in the Tailing of the QingXi Mausoleum, and there are too many mysteries in his body.
As we all know, the Qing Emperor's mausoleum is excellent in location and has a rich collection, and has always been the object of concern for tomb robbers. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Sun Dianying secretly led a small group of tomb robbers to excavate the tombs of Empress Dowager Cixi and the Qianlong Emperor. According to records, Sun Dianying once requisitioned 30 large carts from Zunhua County to transport stolen treasures. In addition, the internal structure of the Qing Emperor's Mausoleum is complex, the tomb wall is strong, and if the correct entrance is not found, even if explosives are used, the gap cannot be blown.
The same is true of the Tailing Tombs, although the Yongzheng Emperor was not buried in the Qing Dynasty, but the Tailing Tombs, as the earliest mausoleum built in the Qing Emperor's Mausoleum, is also the largest one in the Imperial Tombs, whether it is the specifications or funerary products, the Tailing Tombs are second to none, but why has the Tomb of the Yongzheng Emperor not been opened until now? Generally speaking, Chinese imperial tombs are only open to the public because they have been stolen and excavated before, or have been destroyed to a certain extent.
The robbery cave is a basic premise for archaeologists to excavate the tomb, and once the robbery hole appears around the tomb, they will carry out rescue excavation, with the intention of protecting the structure and historical relics inside the mausoleum. After a series of protection measures for the tomb, the mausoleum can be displayed to the outside world, which can not only allow the world to better understand the history of that year, but also promote the development of local tourism and increase its tourism revenue.
In 1975, when the Qianling Underground Palace was cleaned up, archaeologists found a robbery hole near Tailing, and experts speculated that the tomb of the Yongzheng Emperor had long been stolen, and after the experts' proposal, the excavation of the Tailing tomb was quickly carried out. However, just as the excavation work was in full swing, experts had just excavated two meters and suddenly found that the sealed soil was intact. That is to say, the tomb of the Yongzheng Emperor was not damaged in the slightest, and his tomb was not stolen at all.
In this case, the excavation work obviously could not be carried out, and the experts quickly packed up their things and withdrew. To this day, the tomb of the Yongzheng Emperor is still well preserved, full of mystery, and the mystery of his death has been sealed again. In addition, the reason why the tomb of the Yongzheng Emperor was not open to the public was not that it did not want to be opened, but because the archaeological technology was not yet mature, experts did not dare to excavate the tomb easily, like the loss of the Ming Ding Mausoleum in that year, experts did not want to experience the second time.
