In 1966, just as China's economy was slowly improving, everything was waiting to be rebuilt, and the implementation of the Third Five-Year Plan began, it seemed that everything was on the right track, but it was a mistake that was made and ushered in a dark age that lasted for ten years.
A turbulent decade began this year. Many Wenqing were forced to go to the countryside to work as coolies, and were crusaded, and even some things in the Confucius Temple that were slightly linked to feudalism in ancient times were destroyed.
In 1958, the excavation of the Dingling Tomb of the Ming Wanli Emperor was completed, and countless historical precious cultural relics were unearthed, and the Dingling Museum was established while giving the public a display of cultural relics.
We know that the polishing of the years will more or less make the cultural relics wear and tear, and after the establishment of the Dingling Museum, experts began to copy and restore the cultural relics. Among them, the most important thing is to repair the bones of the Wanli Emperor, but no one expected that after being shelved for some reasons, in the next eight short years, the bones of the Wanli Emperor would be smashed and burned, and the bones would not exist.
Dingling
First, the Ming Dynasty did not fall in love with the dynasty the most, and the emperor who reigned the longest
Speaking of the Ming Dynasty, everyone will immediately think of Zhu Yuanzhang and the Wanli era, Zhu Yuanzhang is the founding emperor, and immediately think of it.
And the Wanli era? It is not the beginning nor the end, how can it be so well known in the folk?
Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun was the thirteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also known as the Ming Dynasty. He was born in 1563, Zhu Yijun was an extremely early and wise child, well-done, became emperor at the age of 10, reigned for 48 years, is the longest reigning emperor of the Ming Dynasty. During his long reign, there have been many things that have happened, and the Wanli era has naturally penetrated the hearts of the people.
Although Zhu Yijun ascended the throne at a young age, politics was never a one-man affair, and the real power of the Ming Dynasty was still in the hands of the iron triangle combination of The Wanli Emperor's mother, Empress Li, Zhang Juzheng and Li Bao, and it was this combination that made the Ming Dynasty appear
"Wanli ZTE"
situation.
However, Empress Li never slackened her discipline of Zhu Yijun, not only teaching him the main points of becoming a ming emperor, but also stipulating the schedule of the Wanli Emperor. At that time, as long as the Wanli Emperor was a little lazy, the people around him would immediately report to Empress Li, and the decision on military and political affairs in the palace was handed over to Zhang Juzheng, the head of the famous cabinet, to decide, and the Wanli Emperor at this time was more like a puppet.
Fortunately, however, in the first ten years of Zhu Yijun's reign, he was diligent in political affairs, very frugally implemented a series of reform measures, and won the famous victory
"The Three Great Signs of Wanli"
It launched three large-scale military operations in the southwest and northwest frontiers of the Ming Dynasty and Korea, consolidating the dominance of the Han family's territory in East Asia.
However, in the late Wanli period, Zhu Yijun broke away from the jurisdiction of the Iron Triangle and began to do whatever he wanted. For 30 years, he did not go to the ming dynasty, creating the crime of the ming emperor, and more celebrities pointed out that this was a turning point in the demise of the Ming dynasty. However, there were a thousand Amrets in the eyes of a thousand people, and people praised Zhu Yijun for not going to the court for a long time.
Therefore, some historians praise this king, believing that he has not been in the dynasty for more than 30 years, but still manages the country in an orderly and normal manner, which does not strongly reflect that he is good at playing with power and the mature system of civil officials?
As for why he did not go to the court for a long time, everyone has their own opinions, this is the mother-in-law said that the wife is reasonable, some people say that he is addicted to beauty, wine pond meat forest;
Some people also say that he is lazy at home and tired of the affairs of the government;
Some people even believe that the state institutions are mature and worship the rule of inaction.
Until the descendants found the tomb of the Wanli Emperor and found that the Wanli Emperor's right foot was shorter than the left foot,
Many archaeologists speculate that the reason why the Wanli Emperor did not go to the court was that his legs and feet were inconvenient to move, and he was unable to face the ministers with his own mutilation.
Second, the Wanli Emperor launched a cruel reckoning with his teacher
Speaking of the Wanli Emperor, it is natural to talk about Zhang Juzheng.
Who is Zhang Juzheng? Zhang Juzheng is one of the top ten famous ministers in history, and it is he who saved the Ming Dynasty from the depths of the sea. The changes he led brought the dying Daming back to life, and continued the Ming Dynasty for more than seventy years, and the Wanli Emperor called him Xiang Father during his reign.
However, zhang Juzheng enjoyed all the glory and wealth before his death, but a few days after his death, he was reckoned by the Wanli Emperor. The Wanli Emperor ordered the confiscation of Zhang Juzheng's entire family, and the recovery of the seal book given to him before his death, and the publication of his crimes one by one, and even wanted to open the coffin and whip the corpse.
The Wanli Emperor's cruel reckoning with his teacher made everyone creepy. One of the sayings is that Zhang Juzhenggong was a high lord, which caused the dissatisfaction of the Wanli Emperor early, and even had such a small episode, Zhang Juzheng chatted with others and said that he was not a father, but a regent, who controlled the government.
However, due to various reasons, Zhang Juzheng's position in the Ming Dynasty was even more respected. As a result, the Wanli Emperor could only be patient everywhere. It was not until Zhang Juzheng's death that the war was launched.
The continuation of the Ming Dynasty was indispensable to the credit of Zhang Juzheng, and the actions of the Wanli Emperor had to make the ministers at that time tremble with fear, so since then, there has never been a minister as powerful as Zhang Juzheng.
The book "Fifteen Years of the Wanli Dynasty" written by the famous writer Huang Renyu outlines the turning point of the Ming Dynasty in the fifteenth year of the Wanli Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty also prospered and declined, and the central government of the dynasty began to paralyze and the national strength declined.
Third, the bones of the Wanli Emperor were displayed to the public, and finally the bones did not exist
In 1962, the legendary Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun went to Hexi at the age of 56 and was buried in Dingling. He thought that his legendary life had also come to an end, but no one expected that in the next three hundred and fifty years, the Wanli Emperor would truly usher in his destruction.
There were 16 emperors in the Ming Dynasty, 13 of whom were buried in the Changping District of Beijing, which is the "Ming Tombs" that people can hear about, and Dingling is one of these "Ming Tombs".
In 1958, Chinese archaeologists discovered the huge imperial tomb complex and excavated it. The excavation was initially intended to be the largest and best-preserved tomb of Zhu Di, the ancestor of Ming Chengzu, but the excavation was not smooth. Therefore, the archaeological emperor planned to excavate the Dingling Tomb of the MingShen Sect to practice his hands.
In this way, Zhu Yijun became the coffin of the first and only emperor in China's history to be opened.
Relics of the Wanli Emperor
Wanli Emperor's Dingling tomb is an underground palace made of stone, the entire palace and along a central axis to divide the palace into three places, respectively, the front hall, the nave, the palace entrance is placed the emperor and the empress throne, majestic, the palace along the road placed a variety of rare treasures.
In the deepest part are three coffins, namely the bones of the Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun and his two empresses, the bones are intact, the hair is soft, and the surrounding is surrounded by countless exquisite jewels and rosette cotton. In September of that year, the Dingling Museum was established to display and excavate more than 3,000 cultural relics to the public, and archaeologists decided to clean up and restore the three corpses.
In 1966, this was a special period for our country, and this year also became the beginning of the shame and tragedy of the Wanli Emperor's life. The Wanli Emperor was the representative of the supreme power of feudal society, and the masses at that time "surged with enthusiasm" that he was the representative of the landlord class, exploiting and competing all his life. Even, the relevant departments restored the appearance of the Wanli Emperor, which was explicitly restored, but in essence, it was smeared to incite the emotions of the people.
In the end, the appearance restored by the Wanli Emperor was incompatible with the image of a generation of saints recorded in the history books, and he raised his eyebrows in anger, holding a leather whip in his hand, and the blood mouth basin was about to eat people. The image of the living landlord jumps out of the paper, and the corresponding two queens are even more fierce landlord images. This restoration prompted the masses at that time to threaten to burn their bones to vent their anger, and whoever wanted to stop them was regarded as a party of the landlord class.
Without saying a word, everyone rushed into the Dingling Museum to find out the three corpses, dragged the corpses to the square, and accused the three corpses with all kinds of unspeakable filthy words, speaking of the heights of the people's feelings, and even more people raised large stones to smash the three corpses, and the corpses "cracked" into pieces, and some people threatened to set fire to them, picked up a large amount of firewood and burned them, and burned the corpses to ashes.
In this way, people were indignant and threw the bones of the Wanli Emperor and the two empresses to ashes. The farce eventually disappeared with a heavy rain, and the bodies of the Wanli Emperor and the two empresses also dissipated and flowed away in this heavy rain.
The Wanli Emperor enjoyed all his glory and wealth in his life, and his power fell to the world, but after his death, he could not die well, and even the bones were gone, which could not help but make people sigh. All this stemmed from the ignorance of the people at that time and was easily instigated. Socrates once said:
Ignorance is a sin, a person has no knowledge reserves, can not make judgments about the things they are facing, and may eventually do bad things with good intentions.
Such a person he can only follow the public, do not dare to easily resist, afraid of becoming a special one, which is also known as the herd effect in economics, a person can not judge or forced in front of the eyes to follow the idea of more people, at that time this was also a way to survive.
This loss is not only the loss of archaeologists, but also the loss of all mankind in our country, and we must remember this tragic lesson, dare to stand on the side of the truth, and bravely say no to the evil forces to avoid such unfortunate things from happening again.
Of course, first start with yourself, read more, think more, observe the things around you, rather than following the public in one brain, and be a maverick thinker. May this Wanli Emperor, who has mixed praises and criticisms, be rested in peace, and we will always remember him in the long river of history.
