A large amount of gold was dug out of the tomb of the Qing official, which was really puzzling. If it is really a two-sleeve breeze, why is the tomb so luxurious? If he was greedy for ink and silver money before he died, how did he get the name of "Qing Official"? The mystery begins in the 1950s, when a tomb of an official from the Ming Dynasty wanli period was unearthed in Linhai City, Zhejiang Province.
During the reign of the Wanli Emperor, there were "three major conquests", one was to conquer the northwest, the second was to conquer the southwest, and the third was to conquer Korea. At that time, Japan was in the Warring States Period, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent troops to Lee's Korea under the pretext of borrowing the main intention of the Way, and the result was a fiasco. At that time, the Ming army rushed to the battlefield in large numbers, and there was a man named Wang Shiqi in the team, who had just been promoted to the rank of Shandong suffragette supervisor.
Wang Shiqi was a famous general of the Ming Dynasty, who was admitted to the Jinshi in the eleventh year of the Wanli Dynasty (1583), and then served as a soldier, and was successively sent to Fuzhou, Chongqing, Sichuan, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi and other places. Wang Shiqi's anti-enemy work has always been very good, and this "third major march" has also turned the tide of the war.
However, Wang Shiqi's deeds are not much inked in the "History of Ming", and the things about him are written into the part of Liu Ling who went with him: "Wang Shiqi, who participated in the government of the supervision army, was angry, tied up in the army, feared, and fought hard to break it." Wang Shiqi stabilized the hearts of the Ming army after this army entered the dynasty, reversed the defeat, and after the war he continued to be reused, and died in shanxi in the forty-sixth year of the Wanli Calendar (1618).
According to the tradition of the ancients, the fallen leaves should return to the roots, so Wang Shiqi was buried in his hometown of Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, linhai after his death. The people in Linhai all know Wang Shiqi's name, and are proud of this person, because Wang Shiqi made countless contributions to Daming before his death, and he was clean and honest in his life, his reputation was very good, and he was buried with a straw mat after his death because he had no money, and his father praised him, and his story was very well-known in the local area.
But more than 300 years later, the local members inadvertently found the ancient tomb, dug out a large amount of gold and alarmed the cultural relics department, the cultural relics team came to check, the villagers handed over the gold objects they took away under the call, only to see that the gold tools were various, and the production process was very exquisite: there were thallium tail gold belt plates, rectangular gold belt plates, gold rings, gold jewelry inlaid with gems, golden phoenix hairpins, jade deer plum cranes...
Archaeologists immediately came to the tomb for protective excavation according to the instructions of the villagers, and the cornerstone of the tomb has collapsed, and those cultural relics must be rescued immediately. With the further excavation work, more gold artifacts have been unearthed, in addition to those picked up by the villagers, there are also gold ears, gold crowns, etc., a total of 107 burial artifacts, 22 gold artifacts have been listed as national first-class cultural relics.
Everyone was talking about it: "This Wang Shiqi is not a Qing official, why is there so much gold in the tomb?" According to the research of the experts present, the craftsmanship of these gold tools has reached the level of royal use, and it is roughly estimated that the value of these gold tools is no less than 1 billion yuan today, which is a unique treasure." In the face of everyone's questions, experts also gave answers after on-site analysis and review of information:
When Wang Shiqi was buried, he did have two sleeves and Qingfeng was almost penniless, but a few years after his death, someone reported his burial scene to the Wanli Emperor, who heard that Wang Shiqi's posthumous affairs were so shabby and felt that it was inappropriate, so he ordered a large number of funerary gold utensils, renovated the tomb, and built a stone pavilion in front of the tomb to show his comfort for the heroes. Therefore, all this was done by the Wanli Emperor, and it had nothing to do with Wang Shiqi, and others stuffed gold into his tomb, which he never expected.
