You can't imagine Cixi's trench, she was not only poor and extravagant before she died, but also stunned after her death. Her funerary offerings were of great value, the most famous of which was the pearl of the night she contained in her mouth. According to Sun Dianying's recollection, when he took out the night pearl from Cixi's mouth, the room was full of green cold light emitted by this night pearl. What is particularly amazing is that this night pearl can also be divided into two, transparent and lightless when separated, and a faint green light when closed.
This night pearl is placed in the present, conservative valuation of 800 million, 8 small goals. At that time, in order to calm the public opinion against him for the excavation of the imperial tomb, Sun Dianying gave this night pearl to Song Meiling, who is said to have set the night pearl on his shoes as a decoration, and was later taken to the United States by Song Meiling, and his whereabouts have been unknown ever since.
So, why did Cixi's Night Pearl fall into Sun Dianying's hands? Sun Dianying was a bandit and hooligan, relying on a flexible mind and the ability to sneak around and shoot horses, wandering among the major warlord factions, and finally entered the Kuomintang Revolutionary Army and became the commander of the Twelfth Army of the National Revolutionary Army.
At that time, he was stationed near the Mashen Bridge in Jixian County, and the Mashen Bridge was separated from the Qing Tombs, which was the imperial mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty, where 5 emperors and 15 empresses of the Qing Dynasty were buried, including Cixi. Sun Dianyingshou looked at these treasures, and his heart was inevitably stirring. At that time, his army was not chiang kai-shek's army, it belonged to the miscellaneous army, and the military food and military supplies were not in place, so Sun Dianying, in order to expand his own power, sent the idea to the Qing Tombs. With so many emperors and empresses, Sun Dianying single-handedly aimed at the tombs of Qianlong and Cixi, because he knew that these two of the biggest nobles in the Qing Dynasty must have a lot of funerary products. When Sun Dianying exploded the entrance to Cixi's underground palace with explosives and entered Cixi's Zi Palace, he found that he really did not count wrong. The three halls in the Cixi Mausoleum used 4592 gold leaves, 64 pillars wrapped around the semi-three-dimensional copper gilded panlong, and the beams are made of the top of the wood - yellow rosewood. The coffin is made of gold silk nan wood, 74 pillars are carved with Xiang Feng, and the outside of the phoenix is carved with two dragons, forming the shape of "one phoenix pressing two dragons", implying that Cixi twice hung the curtain to listen to the government. According to Sun Dianying's own recollection, after they opened Cixi's coffin, they found that Cixi was still alive, and under the illumination of the flashlight and torch, Cixi's funeral products were shining with gold and full of brilliance, and Sun Dianying and his men were stunned. Gold silk woven jewelry brocade, inlaid with 12,000 pearls, woven gold Dravidian quilt, inlaid with 2,400 pearls, used to fill the gaps in the coffin, using 4 liters of pearls, more than 2,000 gemstones, 2.23 million taels of silver, a pearl on the crown of The Cixi Phoenix alone, it is worth 10 million silver.
It took Sun Dianying a full thirty cars to carry away the funerary goods in the tombs of Cixi and Qianlong, and he thought that he had embarked on the peak of his life. But where in the world are there impermeable walls! Soon, Sun Dianying's tomb robbery was exposed by the media, and the whole country was in an uproar, not only the Qing court widows strongly demanded that the Nationalist government severely punish Sun Dianying, but even international public opinion condemned Sun Dianying's behavior. However, the Nanjing Nationalist Government arrested Sun Dianying's aide-de-camp with thunder and rain, tried him in a false manner, and then released the adjutant again, so that the tomb robbery case could not be solved. In the end, there is still money that can make ghosts grind.
Sun Dianying used the treasures in the tomb to dot the high-ranking officials of the Kuomintang, gave the Nine Dragon Sword in Qianlong's tomb to Chiang Kai-shek, gave Qianlong's three strings of imperial beads to Dai Kasa, gave 500 taels of gold to Yan Xishan, and finally, the night pearl in Cixi's mouth, gave it to Song Meiling. Therefore, Sun Dianying not only did not get guilty, but also rose all the way to the chairman of Anhui Province.
Cixi could not have imagined in her dreams that the rare treasures that she had racked her brains to collect for herself had finally fallen into the hands of a bandit, who was used by this bandit to make various connections, and many of them were finally missing. What she couldn't imagine was that it was precisely because she put so many treasures in her mausoleum that she would still be at peace after she died. Originally, Cixi's mausoleum should be similar to Ci'an's mausoleum regulations, or even a little inferior to Ci'an' because Ci'an was a concubine and she was a concubine. According to the ancestral system, both Cixi and Ci'an were to be buried next to the Dingling Tomb in Xianfeng, and the ministers at that time suggested that a site be selected near the Dingling Tomb, and Ci'an and Ci'an shared a mausoleum. Cixi was not happy when she heard this, and said to the ministers: What? Don't we both deserve to have our own mausoleum? Even the concubines can have their own mausoleums, and we are both empresses, do we still have to squeeze together? The ministers made a promise and gave another plan: then build a tomb of two concubines.
Cixi was even more displeased, saying, "We are two concubines, can't we have one mausoleum for each person?" The ministers had no choice but to go against the mausoleum system and find two feng shui treasures around the Dingling Tomb as the mausoleums of Cixi and Ci'an. Originally, the two mausoleums were built according to the same specifications, but Cixi lived longer than Ci'an, and after Ci'an's death, Cixi monopolized power, wanting the wind to be windy and the rain to be rainy. She used the excuse that it had rained a lot for many years, and the mausoleum had to be repaired, and it had been repaired for 13 years, and the money spent could not be calculated. Searching for rare treasures from all over the world, Cixi hoped that after death, she would still be able to continue her honor and wealth before her death. It's just that people are not as good as heaven, and Cixi herself can't imagine that after death, she was randomly manipulated by a group of bandits, took off her blouse, and discarded her body on the ground at will. And the night pearl that is said to be the incorruptible body of Bao Cixi was missing after she went to the United States with Song Meiling. Some people say that it was bought by an oil tycoon, and such a precious national treasure is now lost to other countries, which is really a loss of the country and the nation.
