History is meant to be remembered, and that's because it's a mirror for future generations, whether good or bad, at different levels, it's always inspiring us to explore, isn't it?
Of course, what we need to know is that history is not limited to the history books, and many times it is still necessary for experts to study and discover, so what experts often do is to study and protect cultural relics, most of which are from mausoleums. The mausoleum I want to talk about today was found next to Wu Zetian's mausoleum, compared to the grandeur of Wu Zetian's mausoleum, this is really a lot more miserable, that is, Li Yan's Jing Mausoleum.
Li Yan was the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and at the age of 12, he was promoted to the throne by the eunuch Tian Lingzi, mainly because Tang Yizong died suddenly during his reign. However, this Tian Lingzi was not a good eunuch, tang Yizong during his lifetime, he often took Li Yizong all kinds of greedy play, idle, Tang Yizong's father's nature of greedy, did not care, which led to the later ascension to the throne of Li Yan was also lazy to manage the government, so everything was handed over to Tian Lingzi to manage, causing a catastrophe in the late dynasty, with the Yellow Nest Uprising, he began to think of all kinds of ways to solve.
In the end, Li Yan was indeed successful in rectifying Huang Chao and others, but it took 8 years of work, and all the beauty had become fleeting, and at this time, the Tang Dynasty was already dilapidated, and his life was in danger, and he died tragically at the age of 27.
Fortunately, at that time, Li Yan had already returned to Chang'an City, so he was buried in the Jing Mausoleum, but after all, it was the tomb of the king of the fallen country, so it was not magnificent at all, and when the experts found this mausoleum, it was obvious that he had encountered many tomb robbers, and at the same time, it was already dilapidated.
After hearing that the experts came out, they called out that this is impossible, in fact, the reason is very complicated, that is, this Jingling tomb can be clearly seen that it has not been built yet, the murals on the wall are only very ordinary, not to mention, even Li Yan's coffin bed is randomly made up of two ragged tombstones, which is very cold, so if the experts do not find Li Yan's lament book in it, they basically do not believe that it is the tomb of an emperor. What do you think about that?
