In 1945, the tomb of the Tongzhi Emperor was stolen. The tomb robber saw that the queen's body was well preserved, and thought that she must have a treasure in her stomach, so he dragged the body out of the coffin, pulled her belly open with a knife, and pulled inside it for a while, and the internal organs flowed to the ground...
Huiling Tomb, located in the Qing Dynasty Eastern Mausoleum, is a joint burial tomb of the Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun of the Qing Dynasty and Empress Arut. It is said that tongzhi had already rotted into a skeleton when it was stolen, and the Arut clan was thrown out of the coffin, but the body was intact and uncorrupted, and his face was alive.
The Arut clan was the wife of the Tongzhi Emperor, born in the fourth year of Xianfeng (1854), two years older than the Tongzhi age. The Alut clan is a Mongolian, with a family origin, good at poetry, dignified and virtuous, and quite a motherly style.
However, it was such an empress who was hated by Empress Dowager Cixi, the mother of the Tongzhi Emperor, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not harmonious, so the Arut clan suffered humiliation and even abuse from Cixi.
When choosing an empress for the Tongzhi Emperor, Empress Dowager Ci'an favored her niece Arut, while Empress Dowager Cixi favored the famous Fucha clan. The Tongzhi Emperor was more inclined to the Arut clan, and Ci'an's status was higher than cixi, so the Arut clan eventually became empress, and the Fucha clan was given the title of Hui Concubine.
After the big marriage, the Arut clan and the Tongzhi Emperor were very affectionate. Although the Arut clan was virtuous and virtuous, due to her straightforward personality, poor flattery, and the granddaughter of Duanhua the Prince of Zheng, Cixi's former political enemy, so Cixi did not like her, and even repeatedly harassed her, trying to destroy her feelings with the Tongzhi Emperor.
Cixi sent spies to spy on the young couple at all times. When she saw that Tongzhi rarely went to Huifei's palace, she was quite dissatisfied, so she said: "Huifei Xianhui, although she is a concubine, she should also receive a holy family." The empress was young and not very familiar with the etiquette in the palace, so she should be allowed to learn more. Emperor, you don't want to be with her all day, because this will delay government affairs. ”
The Tongzhi Emperor did not dare to disobey his mother's orders, and did not want to be close to Concubine Hui, so he lived alone in the Qianqing Palace. Cixi had many thoughts of abolishing the posthumous, but due to the dissuasion of the chancellor, she had to give up.
The newly married Aluth lived alone in the palace and was sullen all day. Ci'an often summoned her to talk to her and comfort her in every way.
Tongzhi respected the empress very much, and the empress also loved the Tongzhi Emperor. Every time the Alut clan saw the emperor, they would smile and greet him. However, Cixi always said that the empress dowager seduced the Lord.
At this time, because the empress dowager of the two palaces controlled the government, Tongzhi could not personally govern the government, nor could he coexist with the beloved empress day and night, so he was upset and soon became depressed.
Emperor Tongzhi was ill, and the Arut clan was anxious and wanted to visit, but they were afraid to go to Cixi because of their obscenity. Cixi, on the other hand, blamed her for not having any conjugal feelings.
When Tongzhi was dying, Arut clan secretly went to visit him and wiped the pus and blood for him with his own hands, and Cixi scolded her: "At this time, don't forget to be flattering, do you want to kill your husband?" "The Arut clan is in a dilemma, and nothing can be done right.
Once, the Aluth clan went to visit Tongzhi and poured out tears about the pain of being alone in the palace. Emperor Tongzhi comforted her and said, "If you endure for the time being, you will eventually emerge!" After these words of the young couple were overheard by Cixi's secret agents, Cixi was furious, grabbed Arut's hair, and even threatened to be tortured while beating them.
Tongzhi saw that the empress was humiliated in public, and he was distressed and helpless, and he suddenly passed out. Since then, Emperor Tongzhi has been more seriously ill and has become terminally ill.
Soon after, the Tongzhi Emperor died, and his brother Guangxu took the throne.
The Arut clan has a straight personality and is not a good person. She had always thought that she was the empress who was married from the Great Qing Gate, and as long as she did the right thing, there was no need to flatter and slap the horse. Moreover, she also intentionally or unintentionally provoked and provoked Cixi several times, causing the contradiction between the two to become more acute.
The people around Arut advised her to please Cixi everywhere, to be kind, and only by having good relations with the empress dowager could she keep her seat, otherwise it would be unfavorable to herself. However, the Arut clan said, "I am the empress who was married by the Great Qing Gate by the order of the ancestors of heaven and earth, who can easily do what I want!" ”
Cixi entered the palace through the draft of women, and it was most taboo for others to enter the palace from the Great Qing Gate. Someone secretly told Cixi what Arut had said, and Cixi was furious, believing that she was deliberately contemptuous of herself, so she hated Arut even more and wanted to kill her.
The Arut clan, because of the repeated abuses suffered by Cixi, could not bear it, and thought that it was very embarrassing to live in the palace as a widow, so they committed suicide at the age of 22.
On the day of Alut's death, the Qing court officially announced the cause of her death, saying that the Daxing Emperor Long Yu Shangbin, Empress Arut was overly sad, so she fell seriously ill and died. This statement is vague and unconvincing.
Although the Arut clan was bullied by Cixi before her death, after all, she was an empress, and no one dared to neglect the affairs behind her, and she was buried in Huiling.
Seventy years later, after Japan's surrender in 1945, some bandits near the Qing Tombs took advantage of the turmoil and the chaos of the regime change to emulate the warlord Sun Dianying in carrying out a second excavation of the Qing Tombs. The tombs stolen this time include the Jingling Tomb of the Kangxi Emperor, the Dingling Tomb of the Xianfeng Emperor, the Ci'an Mausoleum, and the Huiling Tomb of the Tongzhi Emperor.
This time, the Qing Tombs were stolen and the losses were even more serious than the time when Sun Dianying stole the Qianlong Emperor's Yuling and Cixi Mausoleums. Among other things, the burial items in the coffin of the Empress Arut and the coffin of the Tongzhi Emperor alone were all stolen.
After the theft of Huiling Tombs, because The Tanglin Tombs were unmanaged at that time, the entrance to the cave was not blocked until 1952, when the Qing Tombs established a cultural relics depository.
Because the entrance to the cave has not been blocked for a long time, many local people have visited the underground palace. According to local legend, the Aluth's face was alive, his body did not decay at all, the stolen tomb robbers dragged out the coffin, stripped of their clothes, and did not wear any clothes on their bodies, their stomachs were cut open, and their intestines flowed to the ground. Because it is rumored that this empress dowager swallowed gold to death, tomb robbers also swept her intestines from beginning to end in order to steal gold.
Poor Aluth's life was short and miserable, but after his death, he was humiliated, which can be said to be the most tragic queen of the Qing Dynasty!
