The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 109 The Mausoleum of Our Grandson (please subscribe for a monthly pass)
Zhu Xiongying's mausoleum was built according to the specifications of the prince.

However, due to premature death, the mausoleum is relatively rushed, and its volume has shrunk a lot.

The appearance of glazed tiles means that the mausoleum is below.

"Stop, stop working immediately, and everyone is not allowed to move around."

"Invite Mr. Liu here immediately and tell him that the tomb has appeared."

Seeing that a large number of civilians began to gather to watch the commotion, the Xiaoling guards who were supervising the work above immediately began to stop loudly.

At the same time, he arranged for his subordinates to call Liu Rixin.

Many Xiaoling guards began to take action, guarding the scattered civilian husbands, waiting for Liu Rixin's arrival.

Prior to this, Liu Rixin had told Xiaolingwei that the underground situation of King Yu's mausoleum was complicated and there was a risk of collapse. Once an abnormal situation was discovered, the excavation must be stopped immediately, and it can only continue after he comes to measure.

In the deep pit, the dead guards sent by Zhu Di exchanged eye contact with each other.

However, they didn't have any idea at all. Under the supervision of Xiaolingwei, everyone could only stay still, and they didn't even have the chance to fish in troubled waters.

Let alone wanting to create turmoil.

For Xiaoling Guard, most of the old soldiers in the army know that all those who can enter are elites.

These people, the only weapon is a hoe, using these to fight against the Xiaoling guards is no different from committing suicide.

Not long after, Liu Rixin and several other officials from the Qin Tianjian rushed over.

Liu Rixin jumped into the excavated deep pit without any scruples. The crowd parted to make way, and Liu Rixin hurriedly began to check.

He first grabbed a piece of soil next to the tile with his hand and looked it over carefully, and then walked around the perimeter twice.

"Look around here to see if there is any place where the moisture in the soil is too heavy." Liu Rixin felt the normality in the soil and said to the surrounding Qin Tianjian officials.

If there is too wet hair in the soil, then it is likely to be where the underground river is, which requires careful excavation, otherwise it is easy to cause subsidence.

After being busy for a while, the officials of the Qin Tianjian reported that the soil within a radius of more than ten meters was normal and there was no dampness.

Liu Rixin said, frowning slightly.

This is somewhat different from what he calculated. It stands to reason that the mausoleum collapsed, and with the underground river below, it naturally collapsed near the water source, so it would be disturbed and very humid.

After hesitating for a while, Liu Rixin shouted to the surroundings: "Come here, a few strong men, and dig according to my command."

Among the civilian husbands, several men looked at each other and immediately volunteered to step forward.

Under the command of Liu Rixin, excavation began along the area where the tiles appeared, and gradually extended from the surrounding area.

About half an hour or so, the entire top of the mausoleum was cleared out.

"This is impossible."

Looking at the slightly tilted mausoleum tiles that had been cleaned up, Liu Rixin frowned.

When everyone saw the appearance of the mausoleum, they were all a little happy, which meant that the mausoleum was finally completed.

Now you only need to make a hole directly from the top of the mausoleum, and you can enter the mausoleum smoothly.

Then get out the coffin and it will be considered complete.

"Sir, but there is something special about it."

The officials of the Qin Tianjian were a little relaxed at first, but when they thought that this task was finally about to be completed, their faces were a little happy.

One of them saw that Liu Rixin's face was a little strange, so he couldn't help asking.

"I can't say it for the time being, let people go down to see the situation first."

Liu Rixin shook his head, everything is just speculation, why not arrange for people to enter the mausoleum first.

Going to the tomb is a bad thing, and none of the many civilian husbands want to be selected.

However, those men from earlier volunteered to go directly to the grave.

It is best for someone to go to the tomb voluntarily, and there is no competition.

Under the gaze of many eyes, several people found a spot and began to remove the tiles on it.

The guard of Xiaoling brought heavy hammers for several civilian husbands to use.

The tile is one aspect, and the mausoleum is a closed structure, and the main load-carrying use is the triad.

Sanhe soil has existed since ancient times. For example, the Great Wall that has stood for thousands of years is made of Sanhe soil.

There are various formulas for the compound clay, among which the most precise formula is mainly in the hands of the royal family.

This is stronger and more durable than the cement of the later generations, but the production cycle of the compound clay is too long, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the current main use is still in places such as city defense and tombs.

Several heavy hammers hit the ground repeatedly, making bang bang sounds. That's it, the top of the mausoleum made of triadic clay still has no signs of cracking.

Tomb robbers of later generations had no choice but to explode it with explosives when they encountered this royal triad, and they couldn't dig it up at all.

Seeing that there was no movement for a long time, under the command of Xiaolingwei Baihu, more than a dozen burly Xiaolingweis with huge waists went off the field directly.

Facing the ground, use a heavy hammer to beat violently in turn.

That's it, after a whole stick of incense, the ground finally cracked open.

It was much easier to deal with the cracks, and a dark hole big enough for one person to go through was quickly cleared.

"Let's stop here for today, prepare the rope, wait until noon tomorrow, and then go down to observe."

At this moment, Liu Rixin suddenly stopped.

Xiaolingwei Baihu frowned a little, they decided to go down to investigate just now, why did they stop suddenly.

Facing inquiries from hundreds of households, Liu Rixin explained: "When the entrance of the cave was opened just now, a gust of dark wind rushed in. It was late at night, and it was easy to cause some pollution."

"Wait until noon tomorrow, when the yang energy is at its fullest, and then start digging."

In the middle of the night, hearing this, Xiaoling Wei Baihu has no reason to object.

However, he looked at the folks around him, especially those who volunteered to dig, and were even willing to go down.

A gleam flashed in his eyes.

Instructed: "All civilian husbands, all leave the mausoleum and do not enter without authorization."

Long before, there was a decree from His Majesty from Xiaolingwei, to be careful that there are people who hide unruly people among the civilian husbands.

With so many civil servants, it is not only troublesome to check them one by one, but it is also easy to delay the deadline set by His Majesty.

It can only be that Xiaoling guards take strict precautions.

As soon as these words came out, almost all the civilian husbands heaved a sigh of relief.

In a place like the mausoleum, no one would be willing to stay. If it wasn't for a full meal, who would be willing to do this unlucky job.

Only among them, there are more than a dozen hidden people, Anzi's expression is heavy.

In this way, it will be difficult for them to move as much as they want.

After Baihu finished speaking, he was ready to drive away the peasants.

The few Anzi arranged by Zhu Di made eye contact with each other, then nodded slightly as if they had reached some consensus.

At this moment, near the cave, more than a dozen Xiaoling guards who had used heavy hammers earlier were already panting from exhaustion, took off their armor and sat on the ground to rest.

And those heavy hammers were randomly thrown on the ground in a random manner.

The cave is not big enough at the moment, and it is a bit reluctant for one person to go down. An Anzi didn't hesitate any more, and jumped up directly. While everyone was relaxing, he picked up the heavy hammer on the ground, and smashed down the cave fiercely.

"presumptuous!"

Seeing this, Baihu of Xiaoling Guard drew out his saber without hesitation, and was about to rush forward.

boom!
The cave that had been cracked long ago was immediately smashed out of the hole that could allow one person to go down.

Seeing the surrounding Xiaoling guards drew their swords one after another, some even took out their bows and arrows to aim.

Those who were closer, disguised as civilian husbands, there were five people, one by one, they jumped down without the slightest hesitation towards the dark hole.

Even when jumping, I still don't forget to hold the shovel, which means very obvious.

"Damn it, come here, prepare the rope, and go down the hole immediately."

The Xiaoling guards were furious, shouted loudly, and quickly drove away the peasants near the entrance of the cave, and then checked at the entrance of the cave.

what! ! !
At this time, under the cave entrance, there were suddenly several screams.

Liu Rixin hurriedly went to listen near the entrance of the cave, and there was already a group of people from Xiaolingwei, ready to go down the cave at any time.

"My lord, don't worry, there is something strange in this cave." Liu Rixin said to stop him.

Xiaoling Wei Baihu also heard the abnormality, and asked with a frown, "Sir, what's going on?"

The hundreds of households who have been stationed in Xiaoling for a long time are not familiar with the structure of the tomb, but they still understand the general situation.

Generally speaking, even the mausoleums of emperors and empresses are at most about ten meters high.

According to the specifications, the mausoleum of His Royal Highness King Yu should be about six meters high.

But the sound and screams that came from below were only six meters away, and the echoes were probably tens of meters deep.

"I don't know either. When the cave was just opened, the aura was extremely abnormal. That's why I explained the Rixia Cave." Liu Rixin explained.

Although he is mainly a physiognomist, he also occasionally does part-time jobs for things like geomantic omen to earn some extra money.

When he was a child, he followed his father, saw some private houses, and learned something about them.

Generally speaking, when the mausoleum is first opened, the foul smell is very heavy, and the smell makes people dizzy, and it is extremely easy to get seriously ill.

But when the hole was opened just now, except for a cool wind, there were no other abnormalities. It didn't feel like a mausoleum that had been closed for ten years.

Liu Rixin realized that there might be something unusual in this mausoleum.Now that the night is getting dark, I can't see clearly. It will be more comprehensive to see it in the daytime.

As for the yin qi, it can be regarded as professional instinct.

Baihu took a torch from a Xiaoling guard, stood by the edge of the cave, and threw it directly down.

I saw the fire lasted for a long time, and then suddenly went out.

Baihu made some calculations in his mind, and realized that the bottom of the cave might be a little bottomless, so he ordered:

"Seal the entrance of the cave and don't allow anyone to approach it. Immediately request your Majesty's holy order."

It is now around three o'clock in the morning.

The officials in the capital have already started to get up, ready to gather in front of Fengtian Hall.

After the hundred households of the Xiaoling Guards drove away the civilian husbands, they immediately arranged for the Xiaoling Guards to hurry up and report the situation here to His Majesty the Palace.

In the dark night in the distance, a touch of white gradually rose, and the sky began to gradually brighten.

The red sun rose in the east and shone on the Jinluan Palace, emitting a bright light.

Zhu Yuanzhang had washed and dressed at this moment, and came to the Jinshen Hall from the Qianqing Palace, picked up a book at random, and began to look through it.

When you read deeply, you will take notes.

The plan of the day is in the morning.

Every day at this time is the time for Zhu Yuanzhang to read a lot of books and enrich himself.

Being able to win the world has never been a fluke.

Unless he was fighting abroad, Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on studying the morning classes from the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

After about half an hour, Zhu Yuanzhang will eat some simple breakfast, and then go to the morning court.

While Zhu Yuanzhang was reading, an eunuch came in to report: "Your Majesty, a letter from Xiaoling said that the tomb of His Royal Highness King Yu has been excavated, but there are some changes that need to be consulted by His Majesty."

"The mausoleum of our great grandson has been dug up? What happened? Xuan Xiao Lingwei came in to explain in detail."

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the books when he heard the words, and ordered a little excitedly.

The Xiaoling guard who reported the letter came in quickly and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang the details of the tomb of King Yu in the early morning.

"What a fourth, we really guessed it. If there is a slight mistake in the mausoleum of our eldest grandson, hum!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, he said to Liu He: "The decree passed on will be canceled this morning, and get on the carriage quickly. We have to go to Xiaoling in person."

"Let's see what's going on with the grandson's mausoleum."
