The most pitiful thing is not the unlucky egg who sold the gold quilt cheaply for 90,000 yuan, nor the big old man Sun Dianying who threw away the shroud without culture, but Qianlong.
It is a pity that Qianlong, a generation of male lords, ruled the world for 60 years, and the elderly people, in order to enjoy the honor after death, were extremely luxurious for their funerals.
But who would have thought that the thousands of pearls and jade buried with him not only did not let him go to Elysium after death, but also made his soul restless.
The skeleton is even more tortured. The rough soldiers broke their arms, broke their leg bones, and kicked the skeleton and rolled in the mud. The roll reveals the Tibetan yellow beads in the mouth,
The soldiers were even more excited, they smashed all of Qianlong's teeth, but it was still inconvenient to take out the huge yellow beads, so several butts broke his skull.
Poor emperor, after his death, he ended up in such a miserable end.
His underground palace was even more tofu slag project, and it even leaked water. It may be that the cover full of scriptures was soaked in the sludge, making it ugly and dirty, and was thrown in the sludge by Sun Dianying.
If Sun Dianyingquan knew that this shroud was later auctioned for 130 million yuan, he would not be angry.
What kind of covering can have such a price, and there is a legendary story in it.
In the summer of 1928, the 12th Army of the Sixth Corps under Sun Dianying was stationed in Jixian County, which was only one mountain away from The Tanglin, which was cixi's mausoleum, located in the southern foothills of Changrui Mountain in Zunhua City, Hebei Province, in the western part of the Bodhisattva, Sun Dianying slept on the Golden Mountain every day.
Why Jinshan? Just look at the size of Tanglin.
Construction began in August 1873 and was first completed in June 1880, taking six years and costing more than five million taels of silver.
In 1895, the construction began again, and was completed in October 1908, the second took 13 years, and the second time at the cost of silver was not examined, but the conservative estimate was 10 million.
This is only the cost of building the mausoleum, the treasures inside are even more luxurious, and everything is a national treasure.
Li Lianying, a eunuch favored by Cixi, once wrote the "Notes on Loving The Moon Xuan": it is recorded that the largest pearl on the crown of the pearl phoenix is worth 10 million taels of silver, and other rare treasures are numerous.
For the greedy and brutal Sun Dianying, controlling his desires was quite a torment.
Even if Sun Dianying didn't rush the baby, she wanted to steal the Tanglin Tomb and whip the corpse to relieve her anger.
There are both national and family hatreds.
It turned out that Sun Dianying's father, because of a conflict with the flag people, in the process of the dispute, was naturally caught in prison and beaten in retaliation, and was brutally beaten to death on the same day.
In addition, Sun Dianying's grandfather, Sun Chengzong, was a ming general, but he was also brutally killed by Dorgon.
Such a vendetta of killing his father, the hatred of insulting his ancestors, he was eager to eat meat and bed skin of the Qing Dynasty, and now the opportunity is at hand, not to mention that there is no need to eat meat bed skin, eating rare treasures, sleeping with Ayara silk, both to avenge, but also to be rich and enemy of the country, this is a great benefit given to him by heaven.
What's more, no one was more suitable for robbing tombs than him, with cannons, gunpowder, and thousands of soldiers in his hands, such a hard condition, no one had more convenient conditions for stealing Tanglin than him.
He tossed and turned for several days to cut off a mountain in its entirety, but the movement was too big, the difficulty was too great, and he fought several opportunities to ban military exercises, but always to no avail.
Can't find the entrance to the mausoleum, then these thousands of people in their hands want to rob the tomb, there is no half a year is completely impossible,
Later, he still borrowed strength to fight, just as the bandit Ma Futian planned for a long time, sent someone to find a stonemason who escaped death at that time, and found the entrance to The Tanglin Under his leadership, Sun Dianying effortlessly beat away Ma Futian, captured the stonemason, and successfully entered the Tanglin.
Without any suspense, he stole cixi's mausoleum, and when the coffin was opened, the fragrance was long-lasting, the light was flashing, the colors were brilliant, an old woman was lifelike, and the skin was even elastic and shiny.
Cixi's mouth contained an egg-sized moist night pearl, which everyone knew was extremely valuable, not to mention that this bead was shining brightly and transparently, and the gang of soldiers and bandits were very excited, helpless to use their hands to cut it, but accidentally slipped into their throats.
The soldier was not gentle, and took out a knife and came to break the abdomen to get the beads.
The other soldiers rushed up, grabbing the beaded crown, grabbing the accessories, grabbing the rings, and the accessories on the clothes were cut to pieces by the knife, and the soldiers who did not grab it used the knife to slash Cixi to vent their anger.
Poor Cixi made a blessing all her life, and the karma after death was not at all unhappy, and the honor after death did not make her more dignified, it was precisely this honor that made her last corpse be crushed everywhere.
Sun Dianying's harvest is huge, and it can be said that he is rich enough to be an enemy of the country.
It's just that these bandits have no culture, they all love gold and silver jewelry, they tear up what calligraphy and paintings are looked at twice, and even the bed covering on Cixi's body is not interested, who wants the shroud.
However, they missed it once, and they did not expect that no one in the Qianlong Mausoleum still cared, so uncultured and did not know treasures. It's heartbreaking.
The huge interests of the excavation of the Cixi Mausoleum deeply stimulated Sun Dianying, simply do the best of both worlds, and then excavate the Yuling tomb of Qianlong, with the experience of excavating the Tanglin Tomb, he has a wealth of experience in the excavation of large-scale mausoleums, according to Tu Suoji to open the Qianlong Yuling Tomb, although it cost a lot of trouble, but the result is exciting.
The strange thing is that when the fourth door was hit, it could not be opened in any way, and later it was found that there was a huge coffin blocking behind the fourth door, and the huge coffin could not be opened no matter how hard the soldiers tried, and finally Sun Dianying used his own strength to blast open the last door with explosives.
It is accepted that the underground palace is seeping water, but the higher status is the inner coffin and the outer coffin, especially the outer coffin, which is even more heavy and abnormal, and it is very difficult to move for half a minute, not to mention that it is floating in the water, and the possibility is very small.
It may be that there is providence in the underworld, and Qianlong Providence wants to make a final resistance, but it is also difficult to violate the mandate of heaven in the underworld.
After all, a lot of the materials in his Yuling tomb were obtained from Zhu Di's mausoleum by disgraceful means, and if you take it unkindly, you can't blame others for plundering injustice in a similar way.
Later, Sun Dianying recalled:
"Qianlong's tomb is rich and luxurious, and the reason for the possible water leakage is that the body is corrupted and only white bones are left, and the hair braids are basically intact." There are many burial treasures, pearls, jade, jade, ivory, carvings, calligraphy and paintings, bookmarks, swords and countless others. Forty or fifty boxes were loaded, sealed and sealed, and pulled back to the barracks. One of the most precious is a string of one hundred and eight beads on the neck, each of which is lustrous and transparent..."
What he himself did not mean to say was that when the soldiers and bandits rushed in, each corpse in front of them was wealth, slashing and axeing, plundering wildly.
Grabbing the white bones and rudely breaking them, and taking down the accessories and jewels on them, they especially liked gold and silver jewelry, and they were illiterate, and they were not at all interested in destroying the calligraphy and paintings.
In particular, Qianlong was even more pathetic and pitiful, the white bones were deliberately insulted and trampled, and even the head did not know the end later, saying that it was cut down and thrown away by Sun Dianying who deliberately vented his anger.
The poor generation of male lords reigned for 60 years, Wenzhi martial arts, after death gold and silver jewelry brought into the grave countless, but can not let the afterlife of their own prosperity, but eventually let their corpses be humiliated, the head was cut off. The end is breathtaking.
The covering they threw away, in the eyes of the soldiers, this thing was the shroud.
But in fact, this is the weaving gold Draupadi gold quilt, which is the real rare treasure, the heavy weapon of the country, but Sun Dianying's gang is illiterate and does not know the goods.
At that time, Cixi had 820 pearls inlaid with the Dravidian Sutra, and Sun Dianying's men withheld all the pearls, which were worth 160,000 taels of silver at that time, which translates to the current price of about 22 million yuan, but the price of the sutra is several times that of pearls. They threw it away.
Similarly, Sun Dianying further threw away the Qianlong shroud, at least in Sun Dianying's eyes, this was the shroud, otherwise they would not have abandoned it directly.
When the Manchu Qing relics came to clean up the mess, they found that the bones of Qianlong and his empress and concubines were all over the place, fragmented and scattered all over the ground, they had no way, they could not tell which one was Qianlong, and then simply buried all the bones in a coffin.
One of the widows, knowing that this was the Dravidian sutra, quietly packed it up and took it home to treasure.
After all, it was a chaotic world, and he did not have the ability to guard the treasure, so he sewed the Dravidian Sutra in a robe, but he suddenly fell ill and died, and he did not have time to explain the aftermath to his children and tell them the secret.
After the failure of the children's family, they sold their family property cheaply in order to survive, including this robe with a secret.
One day in 2005, Mr. Qin attended an auction in Beijing, and there was a robe on the venue with a price tag of 80,000 yuan, which may have not attracted the attention of various buyers.
Only Mr. Qin felt that this robe was unusual, but he couldn't say it clearly for a while, and there were many inconsistencies with the robe he understood. When you look through the robes, you can vaguely find that there are words on the clothes, which you have never seen on other robes.
In order not to attract attention, he did not bid at the venue, but found the auction company the next day to take the initiative to buy this robe, and the auction company was also a bit lost because of the auction, and some people took the initiative to buy it.
Mr. Qin's treasure arrived, he couldn't wait to go home and study it carefully, and found that there was indeed a sandwich, and he excitedly removed the robe, so this treasure turned out.
Although he felt that the scriptures inside were from an extraordinary source, he couldn't figure out what it was, and in order to solve the doubts in his heart, he visited many experts and professors, but many people had never seen this sutra and did not dare to jump to conclusions.
He persevered in finding someone to identify, and finally met an expert, this master was surprised to see this, at a glance it was a silk reeling process, silk reeling technology is extremely rare in the market, an inch of silk and an inch of gold,
Silk is the pinnacle of Chinese silk weaving art. Almost all of them are royal objects. Not to mention the value of other ancillary cultural relics, an excellent silk item is also extremely valuable.
Later, it attracted the attention of Zhang Shufen, an expert on cultural relics at the Palace Museum, who further deduced that it was a royal object of the Qianlong period based on the texture of the silk and the weaving method and the style of calligraphy.
Not to talk about the silk process, just to say that the Dravidian sutra is at least a privilege that can only be enjoyed by people above the prince level, although later in the late Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic, many people under the condition of policy liberalization,
They can all be used, but in the Qianlong period, ordinary people and even ministers could not use such jewelry, unless a few courtiers were specially approved by the king, and the color levels of different identities were also different.
The Dravidian Sutra is a past life quilt, which can eliminate disasters and reduce misfortunes, help people ascend to the paradise world of the afterlife, there are many scriptures on it, the removal of sins, and the cultural significance is strong in religious significance. Cover this quilt, and the world of Elysium also belongs to the cloaked robes, blessed by the Dharma, and travels unimpeded all the way.
Cixi's piece is bright yellow, Qianlong's is yellow, and the yellow is only available to the emperor. Mr. Qin's piece is the yellow of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er, which is exactly the Dravidian Sutra used by Qianlong in his past life.
Three years later, in 2008, Mr. Qin put this collection on auction, and the final transaction price was 72 million yuan, and Mr. Qin really achieved four or two hundred thousand gold. With a little money to win a rare treasure.
Of course, the story is far from over, and two years later, this piece was auctioned again, and in 2010, it was auctioned for 130 million yuan.
At this time, don't say that Mr. Qin regretted it, the old man's son sold the relics of his ancestors at the price of cabbage, and he was eager to hit the wall, and Sun Dianying, who missed the quilt twice, was estimated to be even more eager to cheat the corpse in the grave.
Qianlong's quilt is valuable in craftsmanship, as well as historical value and cultural relics value, and even more because he once covered Qianlong's body.
The Dravidian Sutra seems inaccurate by the above-mentioned disaster relief and bliss in past lives, or that Cixi's sins were deep in his lifetime, and he was dimwitted in the late Qianlong period, pushing the country step by step into the abyss of ruin.
They are sinners of the nation, and they have had a terrible impact on millions of people and millions of people, and how can a quilt protect their stability?
Practicing and accumulating virtue and doing good deeds is the best scripture.
