Chapter Nineteen Ming Tombs

() "Damn it, I dug this thing after working hard for three months."

Yue Leiting's complaining voice sounded from behind. With the help of several people, Yue Leiting and Huo Qian came over with water. Huo Qian was knowledgeable and amazed at the majestic altar in front of him. Yue Leiting's eyes looked everywhere but there was no object he liked.

The stone figurines on both sides of the passage were lifelike, arousing a hint of interest from Yue Lei Ting, and tapped them with their fingers.

"Huo Qian, come and see if these stone people are worth it?"

Huo Qian looked carefully for a long time and nodded, "The spirits are different and lifelike. These stone figurines have been around for at least hundreds of years, and they can still be preserved so well. The artistic value is worthy of jing."

"Whoever wants artistic value, just tell me directly, how much is it worth?"

Huo Qian shook his head and smiled bitterly and said regretfully: "After all, it is a stone. You can only measure value from the artistic level. You have to say how much it is worth. If you can appreciate it, you will say that it is priceless. Give it to you Brother Ting. Haha, you still think it takes up space."

"Damn it, it's worthless after talking for a long time." Yue Leiting sighed.

"Brother Ting, come and see these two things." Chu Tianci said without looking back.

Until he walked to Chu Tianci and saw the golden dragon turtle on the disc, the lightning of Yue Lei Ting's eyes shone brighter than that of gold.

"The emperor pays off. This item is beautiful, hahaha, it's no loss if you sell such a big piece of gold."

Huo Qian was relieved when he saw the book in the oil paper next to him.

"Brother Ting, this book is probably what Mr. Huang is looking for. Now I finally have an explanation."

Yue Leiting didn't even look at it, and kept looking at the golden dragon turtle in front of him happily.

"There are many people who are stupid. I have worked so hard to get a broken book. I quickly asked Liu Hao to send it to Su Lengyue. From now on, I will never want to explain to Mr. Huang again."

"Brother Ting, this book... I'm afraid you can't give it to Mr. Huang!" Chu Tianci hesitated for a long time and said it.

Yue Leiting raised his head blankly and said in surprise: "No! What's the use of keeping a broken book? Besides, we can't afford to offend Master Huang. It's better to go with the flow and borrow flowers to offer Buddha."

"Tianci, Brother Ting took Mr. Huang's money. As the saying goes, collecting money to eliminate disasters for others. If you don't give it to me... I'm afraid it's not easy to explain to Mr. Huang." Huo Qian explained next to him.

"Yes, brother, did you say that day? All ginsengs are sent. Ginseng is a life-sustaining life, and those with the surname Huang are all determined to kill themselves." Xiao Lianshan said.

"Master Huang only asked to dig up here. As for what is inside, no one knows. Everyone who came in the altar belongs to Brother Ting. As long as Brother Ting says there is nothing inside, how can Master Huang know?" Chu Tianci said seriously.

Yue Leiting knew that Chu Tianci was not a greedy person, and he actually said such words, knowing that things were not simple.

"God's gift, is there any mystery in this ancient book?"

Chu Tianci walked under the statue of Yuan Chonghuan for a while before nodding silently, then looked at his subordinates standing behind Yue Leiting. Yue Leiting understood it and asked these people to leave and exit the altar and wander back the same way.

"I don't know if this is true. If it really happens, then this book can be said to be priceless." Chu Tianci looked at the altar and said in a low voice.

Yue Leiting heard the priceless city and quickly looked at the yellowed ancient book carefully. There was nothing strange about it, so he turned around and asked Huo Qian.

"You have learned a lot. Have you ever heard of this book?"

"Luo Xuan Shen Ce?" Huo Qian thought about it and shook his head, saying affirmatively. "I don't study much of ancient books, and I haven't heard anyone mention this book."

"I remember telling you that my old man has an unknown library. The school bag inside is full of everything, knowing astronomy and geography, and one of them records a very interesting story." Chu Tianci said calmly.

"Brother, what story is it? Tell me."

"After the Ming Dynasty moved the capital to the capital, it was built on Tianshou Mountain at the foot of Yanshan Mountain in the northwest suburbs. It started to be built in Changling in May of the seventh year of Yongle. It was buried in Siling, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen, was buried in Siling. During this period, thirteen emperor tombs, seven concubine tombs and one eunuch tombs were built in succession for more than 230 years." Chu Tianci told the story.

"I know this. Tianci, what you are talking about the Ming Dynasty's Thirteen Tombs. What does the relationship between the Thirteen Tombs and this book?" Huo Qian asked in surprise.

"In fact, there is also a tomb that is not recorded in history books!"

"There is another one?" Yue Leiting and Huo Qian looked at each other in a daze.

"The Fourteen Tombs of Ming Dynasty!"

"The Ming Fourteen Tombs?!" Huo Qian said in confusion. "Aren't the Ming Thirteen Tombs... I've never heard of the Ming Fourteen Tombs?"

"Tianci, have you remembered wrongly? The Ming Thirteen Tombs are in the capital. Where did I travel not long ago? Why did another Ming Fourteen Tombs run out?" Yue Leiting said with certainty.

"Zhu Yuanzhang defeated the Yuan Dynasty and established the Ming Dynasty, and founded the 200-year foundation of the Ming Dynasty. Among them, Liu Bowen, the founding father, made great contributions. Liu Bowen knew astronomy and geography, and Jing Yi Ching was good at divination. It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang was eating sesame cakes. As soon as he took a bite, the eunuch reported to the military advisor Liu Bowen to see him. So Zhu Yuanzhang took a gold utensil and covered the sesame cakes that he had eaten. Then he asked Liu Bowen if he knew what was on the plate. Liu Bowen calculated and replied with his fingers: Half like a ri and half like the moon, it must be a golden dragon biting a shortage. Seeing that Liu Bowen was very accurate, Zhu Yuanzhang began to ask him to calculate the historical changes for five hundred years." Chu Tianci explained slowly.

"This is the "Shaobian Song" that was circulated in later generations." Huo Qian said with a smile.

"Actually, it's not. If Liu Bowen really could deduce the historical changes of 500 miles from later generations, how could the Ming Dynasty perish?" Chu Tianci shook his head and said.

"Brother, tell me quickly, what is it?" Xiao Lianshan was anxious.

"Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that the Ming Dynasty he established would collapse one day like the previous dynasty. Liu Bowen asked to calculate the reason for the Ming Dynasty's demise." Chu Tianci smiled faintly and continued. "Liu Bowen pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang without thinking: The sesame cakes are flawed and the moon is full. It means that the Ming Dynasty was covered with gold, so that the moon was flawless, and it was estimated that the Ming Dynasty was flawed!"

"The Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the Jin Dynasty! The leader of the Jurchen tribe of Jianzhou, Haci, established the Later Jin Dynasty, and later changed the name to the Qing Dynasty." Huo Qian was amazed. "The Qing Dynasty entered the pass and overthrew the Ming Dynasty and replaced it, and Liu Bowen really hit the nail on the head."

"Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu Bowen again what was the reason for his death." Chu Tianci rubbed his fingers and continued. "Liu Bowen answered like a stream, with gold above and low, and money below, and money below!"

"I'm right again. The treasury in the late Ming Dynasty led to deflation and economic depression. Moreover, in the early years of Chongzhen, there were severe droughts year after year, and the Qing army was not enough money, and the intrigue within the court was exhausted." Huo Qian said with convincing heart.

Chu Tianci nodded and said calmly: "Zhu Yuanzhang learned the initiative. In order to prevent the decline and demise of the Ming Dynasty, he issued an order to ask Liu Bowen to find a confidential place to transport a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry into the burial, and required that the emperors who succeeded the throne in the past dynasties must transport 20% of the national treasury secretly into the treasure every year for future needs. Only the burial place is known by the emperor, and it will be passed to the next emperor until his death."

"Every year... 20% of the national treasury is transported into the treasure every year..." Hearing this number, even Huo Qian, who has always been calm, was stunned. "Two hundred and seventy-six years of the Ming Dynasty... God!"

"Be good... Huo Qian, your mind is very useful. How much is the gold, silver and jewelry buried in this treasure?" Yue Leiting's mind was blank now.

"We are rich enough to compete with a country!" Huo Qian didn't even think about answering.

"This treasure is the Fourteen Tombs of the Ming Dynasty!" Chu Tianci said calmly.

"God Ci, then what does the fourteen Ming Tombs you mentioned have to do with this book?" Yue Leiting finally realized that the inconspicuous ancient book in front of him was priceless.

"Brother, it's not right. Brother Qian said that the court would die in the end because of the lack of money. With such a big treasure, I'll have money if I send someone to dig it out. Why was it destroyed by the Qing Dynasty?"

Chu Tianci smiled slightly and took a deep breath and said.

"The fate of the country is determined by heaven. Even if Liu Bowen can understand the opportunity, everything has its own fixed numbers. Zhu Yuanzhang's intention to change the fate of the country by himself is simply a fool."

"God Ci, then how did this treasure happen later?" Yue Leiting asked anxiously.

"After Liu Bowen found a place to buried treasure for Zhu Yuanzhang, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious and knew the secret of the survival of the Ming Dynasty. How could Zhu Yuanzhang let him go and leave his resignation and retire, but how could Zhu Yuanzhang be relieved that an outsider knew this secret? Liu Bowen was sick, and Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu Bowen's mortal enemy Hu Weiyong to visit him. Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart. In order to show his loyalty, Liu Bowen drank the medicine sent by Hu Weiyong and died of illness at night."

"It turns out that Zhu Yuanzhang killed Liu Bowen to banish his words." Huo Qian nodded in a sudden realization.

"There were all the allusions of killing loyal ministers in all dynasties in the Ming Dynasty. Although everyone has various crimes, there is actually only one real reason."

"Brother, I know that I have to transport gold, silver and jewelry from the national treasury to the treasure every year. It is impossible to change another person every year. The emperor must choose a soldier whom he believes in, and kill the soldiers responsible for transportation on the spot. When he is almost out of reach, he will kill the person responsible for transportation."

"Haha, you kid finally got to know you, and you thought about it so soon." Chu Tianci laughed happily.

Huo Qian was extremely excited just now, but he slowly returned to his calmness.

"God gift, if you said, this secret was passed on to the next generation of emperors when the emperor died, but when it was passed on to Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty had already died and he was hanged in Coal Mountain. In this way, no one would know the secret of this treasure again."

"Damn it, it's useless after talking for a long time, and no one knows where this treasure is." Yue Leiting looked dejected.
