The great man will live forever

Chapter 199 Helpless
At night, in Weiyang Palace,
"You clearly know that the son is silent and it is the father's fault, but you still take it seriously and issue the imperial edict in front of all the civil and military officials. According to my son, what are you going to do? Do you think it is too easy to get the throne?"

Wei Zifu's chest was rising and falling with anger. She was over fifty, her eyesight was not good, and less than half of her hair was white.

"My son doesn't dare."

Liu Zhi knelt down and sat down, looking like an honest child.

"You don't dare. Is there anything else that you don't dare to do? Now you are the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Could it be that if I make a mistake tomorrow, you will also issue an imperial edict and scold me in front of all the civil and military officials?"

"My son is wrong."

"You will be wrong. Whatever mistakes you make, it is your father's fault and my fault."

Wei Zifu cursed intermittently for a long time, but Liu Zhi just apologized, and she was so angry that she could do nothing.

"Forget it, I don't mean that your father is right. Those are indeed mistakes, but you can't say them in front of the officials. Otherwise, where is the majesty of the royal family? The emperor inherits the destiny from above and governs the people from below. Why? What could go wrong? Your father was just deceived by people like Jiang Chong and Su Wen, do you understand?"

Wei Zifu's subtext means that the fault should also be placed on the ministers.

"Yes, I know my mistake and I won't do it again next time."

Do you want a next time?Wei Zifu shook his head and sighed: "That's all, you can go back. You are the emperor and have been the prince for so many years. You can weigh the importance yourself."

"promise!"

……

In the Lanlinghou Mansion,
"Has anyone been found yet?"

Liu Han looked at Xiong Er. His body was a little stooped and there were many white hairs on his head. This retainer had been with him for decades.

Seeing him, Liu Han thought of Xiong Da and Bald Qiang. For a moment, his nose felt a little sore. People's hearts are full of flesh, otherwise he wouldn't be so heartbroken because of Ayimei's betrayal.

"Nothing was found. Da Mao and Er Gou sent out thousands of people and searched repeatedly. They issued hunting notices in the counties around Chang'an, but there was no trace. They also took the hunting dogs from Shanglinyuan with them. The scent seemed to be completely lost near the northern foot of Lishan Mountain. , the jungle there is dense and difficult to find.”

Naturally, what he was looking for was not Li Guangli, but Zhao Lan, the person who pretended to be Bald Qiang and killed Xiong Da, and Ayimei.

"Near the northern foot of Lishan Mountain?" Liu Han's expression changed, "Is the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang there?"

"Yes, Lord Marquis, you doubt..."

"Yes, I doubt it, but the place is too big and has many mechanisms, so it's difficult to handle."

Liu Han shook his head, his eyes cold. His opponent was not an ordinary person, but a time traveler. Zhao Lan alone was more than 700 years old, and other old monsters were probably thousands of years old. In such a long time, even a dog could become a Fine.

Lishan Mountain is a branch of the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, stretching about 25 kilometers from east to west and about 7 kilometers wide from north to south.

Legend has it that the mountain looks like a horse, hence its name.

The horst formed during the crustal movement of Lishan Mountain is about 1000 meters above sea level. It has scattered faults and alternating mountains and ravines, forming a series of north-south valleys, from which rivers have developed. The Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shihuang is located in Lishan Mountain. On the alluvial fan formed by the river at the northern foot of the mountain.

Moreover, this section of the mountain range is symmetrical, with lush forests and alternating valleys and peaks. The mountain is spread out in a slight arc in the south of the tomb, shaped like a blooming lotus, white and flawless, beautiful and noble.

The imperial mausoleum is located among the mountains of Lishan Mountain, and is almost integrated with the entire Lishan Mountain, just like a lotus stamen in the middle.From the practical point of view at that time and the Feng Shui concept of later generations, this was the most ideal place to set up a cemetery.

After Qin Shihuang ascended the throne, in order to protect his underground power, he began to build a mausoleum.

He firmly believed that the living should commemorate the dead, and both emperors and ministers should receive great honor and courtesy after death. Therefore, he decided to build a huge mausoleum to house his remains and belongings.

The construction of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum lasted throughout Qin Shi Huang's life. It was built in the first year of Qin Wang Zheng (247 BC) and completed in the second year of Qin II (208 BC). It lasted 39 years and was the first large-scale mausoleum in Chinese history. , a well-designed imperial mausoleum, and one of the largest mausoleums in the world.

Why are emperors so keen on building tombs?

There are many reasons for this. First of all, the ancients paid great attention to death. After the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Confucian ideological system gradually formed, and thoughts based on benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust gradually became the mainstream thought at that time.

The main body of funeral culture is Confucianism, which advocates that we should follow filial piety, act according to the rules, treat each other with courtesy and dress others in the face of everything.

Traditional Chinese funerals include rigorous steps such as farewell, announcement of mourning, burial, keeping the bed, laying the coffin, expressing condolences, attending the funeral, leaving the funeral, burial, and mourning...

Before the Qin and Han Dynasties, people in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period believed that the soul and soul would separate after death. The idea that "the soul returns to heaven and the body returns to earth" was widely popular.

People hope that their souls can ascend to heaven after death, and they also hope to be protected from ghosts and gods. Therefore, they often need to rely on the magical power of dragons, phoenixes, tigers, deer and other mythical beasts (birds). Some people believe that they have the power to communicate with heaven and earth, bring prosperity and ward off evil spirits...

Therefore, the mausoleum is regarded as the home of the emperor's soul, a place of worship and sacrifice, in the hope of receiving the blessing and protection of the gods.

Secondly, emperors believed that mausoleums were eternal symbols after their death, which could display their power and dominance and allow future generations to remember and worship them.

In addition, the mausoleum is also a symbol of the inheritance and continuation of the imperial family, representing the permanent existence of the dynasty.

Finally, building a mausoleum can also mobilize a lot of manpower and material resources. In fact, it creates employment opportunities for the society invisibly, allowing people to work non-stop. If they don’t have time to think about anything, they don’t have to eat and have nothing to do, so they can rebel, which is conducive to the stability of the country.Therefore, emperors of all dynasties invested a lot of effort and resources in building mausoleums.

In fact, these emperors knew that their bodies would eventually decay and disappear, but stones would not.Their names and achievements will remain in the world forever along with these exquisite buildings for future generations to pay homage to.

Architecture is a solidified epic. Through the ages, history has changed, and many princes and ministers have turned to dust. Only those mausoleums remain, such as the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, the Pyramids, the Taj Mahal, etc.

"That's all, send someone to guard it. There is probably a secret passage or mechanism."

Liu Han had already guessed that they might be in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, but there was nothing he could do.

"Master Marquis, how about I take people to dig? After all, it belongs to the former dynasty. Once it is dug, it will be dug. The revenge of Xiong Da and Lao Guang must be avenged."

It is extremely immoral to dig up other people's tombs and should be severely condemned, especially the tombs of emperors.

At that time, King Ping of Chu listened to Greedy's words and killed the whole family of the doctor Wu She.Wu She's second son, Wu Zixu, went through many hardships and fled to the state of Wu. He became an important minister of the state of Wu and later led an army to attack Ying, the capital of the state of Chu.

According to legend, Wu Zixu once dug up the tomb of King Ping of Chu and whipped his body three hundred times to avenge his father and brother.

"Historical Records·Biography of Wu Zixu": Shi Wu Yuan was friends with Shen Baoxu. When Yuan died, Baoxu said: "I will overthrow Chu." Baoxu said: "I will save it."

When Wu soldiers entered Ying, Wu Zixu asked King Zhao.When he couldn't, he dug up the tomb of King Ping of Chu, found out his body, and whipped him three hundred times, and then he was done.

Shen Baoxu died in the mountains, and his messenger said to Zixu: "How serious is the retribution of your son! I heard that a crowd of people can conquer heaven, and the destiny of heaven can also destroy people. Today, I am a minister of King Ping, dear." We started from the north and now we are killing people, how can this not be the most unnatural act of heaven!"

Wu Zixu said: "Thank you for me. Baoxu said, I have a long way to go in the evening, so I am going backwards and doing it in reverse."

He was so wronged that it seemed normal now to dig up his enemies and whip their corpses, but his good friends and many people at the time scolded him.

Xiong Er desperately wanted to avenge Xiong Da and Bald Qiang. Even if he suffered infamy, even if he dug a grave, he still wanted to find his enemy.

Liu Han shook his head and refused, "It can't be dug, and it can't be dug. It is the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, and it will be stink for thousands of years."

"I'm not afraid."

"I can't dig anyone out for you."

"why?"

"Back then, after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, Gaozu and Xiang Yu competed for hegemony. Later, Xiang Yu attacked Guanzhong first. On the one hand, he hated Qin Shihuang deeply.

On the other hand, he was also thinking about the treasures of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, so he ordered to invade the Qin Mausoleum and wreak havoc.

According to records, Xiang Yu had 30 soldiers, but only the ground buildings of the Qin Mausoleum, such as palaces and attics, were looted. In the end, they could only set a fire.

When Qin Shihuang built the mausoleum, he was very worried that future generations would be robbed, so he deliberately set up a large number of mechanisms and found many skilled craftsmen to design. After the design was completed, the craftsmen were killed in the mausoleum.

There are many traps inside, especially mercury. There are no secret passages and no methods. If you want to get in, you are looking for death. "

"HG?"

"It is also called mercury, white water, maiden, Liuzhu, yuanzhu, red mercury, sand mercury, spiritual liquid... It is highly poisonous and can easily kill you if you inhale it. Don't worry, I will avenge Xiong Da and Bald Qiang. "

"Yes!"

Liu Han was helpless. He could guess it, but for many things, you often know that there is no way to do it. Not to mention the mechanism, not to mention the poison. Even if he could dig it out, he couldn't dig it out. It would be infamy for thousands of years.

However, he has plenty of time, and so does his enemy. Some debts can be repaid slowly. A gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years. Liu Han's revenge is never too late in a thousand years.

"By the way, tomorrow, come with me to visit the graves of Xiong Da and Bald Qiang. I've been so busy lately that I haven't even seen them buried with my own eyes."

Xiong Er's nose felt sour and he almost shed tears, "We will be happy to meet the Marquis in this life, even if we live without a roof or die without a place to stand. They are both getting older. Don't be too sad, Marquis."

"Well, Bald Qiang doesn't have a son yet, right? Let's adopt Xiong Da's son to him!"

"Thank you Lord Hou."

"I hope you will take good care of your health and stay with me for a few more years." Liu Han said and patted Xiong Er on the shoulder.

"Master Hou...how long can you live?"

He finally couldn't help but ask this question. He had seen Liu Han's true appearance now. It was exactly the same as it was 30 years ago. There seemed to be no change. He thought this man was a god. Liu Han also showed some other things. Means, such as making ice in summer.

"I don't know! Maybe next year, maybe a few hundred years, the future is unpredictable."

Liu Han said, looking into the distance. Ever since Liu Zhi ascended the throne, the future has been full of uncertainty.

History has changed, where is it heading?Everything is unknown!
