A knife in love

Chapter 2041
When Feng Wei said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "Although Yeluruan was separated from Yelubei since childhood, he is extremely filial to his unlucky father. After his body was transported back to the capital of the Liao Kingdom, although a tomb was built for him, it was just a pile of loess. Not to mention compared with the emperor's tomb, even the tomb of an ordinary official buried after death is more luxurious than Yelvbei's tomb Many. After Yelv Ruan became emperor, he dug out Yelubei's coffin and put Yelubei's body in a precious golden nanmu coffin. He heard from Yelubei's cronies that Yelubei had told everyone before his death If he died in the Central Plains, his body must be transported back to Liaodong and buried in the place where he boarded the ship and went to sea. The confidant told Yeluruan that Yelubei had read many Chinese classics and was proficient in the art of geomancy, and fled south to the Central Plains. At that time, I saw a geomantic treasure land in Suzhou County, Liaodong. Yelubei said that this place is the neck of the dragon drinking water.

"After hearing this, Yeluruan was overjoyed. He helped Yelubei's coffin in person, and went to Suzhou County, Liaodong, where he found the geomantic treasure land that Yelubei was looking for. Yeluruan sent [-] people to work day and night, enough It took three years to finally build a large-scale mausoleum in which Yelubei was buried. When Yelubei was buried, Yeluruan buried all the books and weapons collected by Yelubei in the mausoleum. Yelubei was buried with him.

"Master Zhao Liangsi has seen the documents that record Yelubei's burial. According to the book, when Yeluruan built the mausoleum for Yelubei, he appointed several of Yelubei's cronies to preside over the matter. These cronies follow Yelubei on weekdays, All of them are proficient in the I Ching and Feng Shui. Therefore, when the mausoleum was built, they set up many organs in the tomb. If anyone dared to rob the tomb, they would be killed by the organs. After the mausoleum was completed, these cronies unexpectedly He sealed himself in the tomb and was buried for Yelvbei."

When Feng Wei said this, Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiuxin shuddered, and at the same time thought of the three skeletons they saw in the tomb passage.Both of them thought, could it be that those three skeletons were the bones of Yelubei's close relatives?But Feng Wei said that the three of them were willing to stay in the tomb to be buried for Yelubei, so how could they kill each other and die together in the end?
When the two were thinking about it, they only heard Feng Wei continue to say: "Actually, these relatives are very confident. Most of those who built the emperor's mausoleum since ancient times have no good end. What's more, Yelu Ruan is cruel and cunning, even his grandmother and uncle are murdered." In order to keep the secret of Yelubei's mausoleum, several people must be secretly killed after the tomb is completed. It is better to ask Yelv Ruan to be buried for the old master. Not only can you get a reputation of loyalty, but also Yelu Ruan No embarrassment to their families.

"Yeluruan knew that he imprisoned Shuluping, who had controlled the Daliao court for decades, and killed many princes, nobles, ministers and generals who accompanied Shuluping, Yelu Deguang, and Yelu Lihu to force Yelubei to abdicate. These people His family and friends must hold grudges. Although they dare not do anything to him on the surface, they may secretly destroy Yelube’s tomb to vent their anger. After the completion of the tomb, the officials, soldiers, craftsmen, and civilians who participated in the construction of the tomb Waiting for others, almost killed by him..."

Before Feng Wei finished speaking, Wang Xiaoyu exclaimed and said in a trembling voice: "There are 10 civilians who built the mausoleum for Yelubei, plus officials and soldiers, which is equivalent to the population of five or six Dongliao County. Yeluruan actually killed so many people, could it be, could he be crazy?"

Feng Wei shook his head and said in his mouth: "Little girl, you underestimate these emperors and generals. In the past, Qin Shihuang built his own mausoleum in Lishan, conscripted 70 people and prisoners from all over the world, and killed tens of thousands of people. After the mausoleum was completed, Emperor Qin II ordered the gate to be closed, and all the skilled craftsmen who built the organs in the mausoleum were sealed in the tomb passage. Compared with Qin Shihuang and Qin II, Yeluruan's courage is far worse. "

When Feng Wei said this, he paused for a while, and then said: "The number of people killed by Yelubei's direct order should not be as many as 10. Because when the mausoleum was being built, civilian husbands and craftsmen continued to die of starvation, exhaustion, and death. Or they were killed by sergeants. But even so, at least tens of thousands of people were killed by Yeluruan's order. In order to keep the tomb secret, Yeluruan also built a fake tomb in Lushan, Liaodong, claiming to be Yelubei's tomb Every time Yelu Ruan came to Liaodong to offer sacrifices to Yelubei, he would bring the Khitan kings, nobles, ministers and others to the fake tomb in Lushan, pretending to sacrifice. Then he used the excuse of praying for Yelubei in Xiangdian, No one is allowed to enter the hall of enjoyment until he leaves the hall of enjoyment. All the accompanying princes, nobles, and ministers are locked in the rest of the halls, and they are not allowed to go out. In fact, Yeluruan took the opportunity to get rid of the eyes and ears of everyone. He brought his relatives and rushed to the tomb of Yelubei in Suzhou County to worship his father.

"Lord Zhao Liangsi told me that one year Yeluruan came to Liaodong to offer sacrifices to Yelubei, but it rained heavily and the river surged. Yeluruan rushed to Suzhou County with his entourage. A wooden bridge on a big river was washed away by the river. Unable to cross the river to sacrifice to Yelubei. Yeluruan cried bitterly on the bank, climbed a hill, looked at Yelubei's tomb, and burned the sacrifices he carried with him, then hurried back to Lushan in displeasure. Later, Yeluruan The hill overlooking Yelubei is called Wangfu Mountain."

When Feng Wei said this, Wang Xiaoyu said "Huh" and said, "Are you talking about Wangfu Mountain?"

Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan and Qi Jiu were startled when they heard what Wang Xiaoyu said, not knowing what Wang Xiaoyu meant.Wang Xiaoyu said hesitantly: "Wangfu Mountain is four or five miles north of Laoweng Mountain. It is far away from Laoweng Mountain, but there is a big river flowing from west to east in the middle, separating the two hills. The river is called the Dasha River, and there is a large wooden bridge on the river. I heard from an old man in Dongliao County that the wooden bridge was washed away by the river many times for hundreds of years, and many passing merchants died. According to legend, a thousand years ago, a scholar came to He rushed for the exam in the capital, leaving his wife at home to take care of his parents and children. After the scholar arrived in the capital, he lived in a monastery. He studied hard day and night, thinking of being named on the gold list, so that he could become a high-ranking official in the future. But the scholar worked too hard, and even He was so tired that he fell into a serious illness, not only missed the imperial examination, but also almost lost his life in the capital. Thanks to the monks in the monastery, seeing him as pitiful, they not only treated him, but also gave him food to satisfy his hunger. , couldn't even get out of bed for more than half a year, and naturally he didn't write a letter to his family. When he recovered from his illness, he missed the date of the imperial examination. The scholar was extremely depressed and wanted to go back to his hometown, but the monks in the monastery advised him He said that it would take another three or four months to come and go. It is better to stay in the monastery and study hard, so as to wait for the next scientific examination before entering the examination room. After much deliberation, the scholar has no choice but to do so.

"In this way, the scholar stayed in the monastery. He wrote a letter to his family and asked a businessman who was going to Liaodong to sell horses to take it home. It's just that the businessman encountered a thief on the way and was killed by a knife. A letter has not been delivered to the scholar's wife. The scholar has not returned home for more than a year, and there is no letter. Many people say that the scholar died on the way, and some people persuaded his wife to remarry. The scholar's wife refused to agree, and tried her best to take care of him. The scholar's parents and children, in order to earn a few pennies, stumbled and fell into the Dasha River while helping others with laundry, and ended up with no bones left. Later, the scholar won the first prize and returned to his hometown. Hearing that his wife died tragically, he was deeply saddened. He climbed up the hill to look at the Dasha River, and called out his wife's name. Since then, this hill has been called Wangfu Mountain by the people."
