When he met a woman, he asked the price and sold it at a low price. This is not the case, so people in the city call him "Xi idiot".

Grave Robber Rapes Corpse to Save People

Since there are many phenomena of tomb robbers "raping corpses" in the history of tomb robbers in ancient China, the plots in this aspect have also been transplanted into ancient literary works in large numbers, becoming an interesting creative category.This is the story of "Xing Shi Heng Yan" in the "Three Words" in the famous ancient Chinese novel "Three Words and Two Pai" written by Ming Dynasty literati Feng Menglong.Among them, the plot of "Zhu Zhen's tomb robbery" in the fourteenth volume of "Naofan Lou Passionate Zhou Shengxian" is very detailed and realistic, and it has been talked about by scholars who study tomb robbery. The excerpts are as follows:

The Qujiang Pond in Chang’an City in the Tang Dynasty and the Jinming Pond in Bianjing City in the Northern Song Dynasty are like the parks in the city today, where everyone entertains and rests.During the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, a hotel called Fan Lou opened beside Jinming Pool. The owner of the hotel was Fan Dalang, and his brother was Fan Erlang.On this day, Fan Erlang went to Jinming Pool to play, and saw a beautiful woman in a teahouse. This woman was Zhou Shengxian, an 18-year-old rich lady.Zhou Shengxian and Fan Erlang fell in love at first sight, and fell in lovesickness after returning home.

When Zhou Shengxian returned home, he didn't think about food and drink, felt unwell, and fell ill. Her father went out, and only her mother was at home. She had almost invited all the famous doctors in Bianjing city, but her daughter's illness was not cured. It was only when she worked left and right that she understood. The daughter suffers from lovesickness, and her lover is Fan Erlang who runs a hotel in Fanlou. In order to make her daughter recover from her illness, the mother had to promise her daughter to marry Fan Erlang face to face, and asked someone to come to Fan's house as a matchmaker. If Zhou Shengxian really liked it, the Fan family would naturally agree. Even the wedding ceremony was delivered.This happened in March. When Zhou Shengxian's father came back in November, he immediately objected when he heard about it. He felt that the Fan family was just a hotel owner. Decent, and scolded Zhou Shengxian's mother, the Fan family's betrothal will be returned immediately.Zhou Shengxian hid behind the screen and listened to his father scolding his mother, and refused to teach her to marry Fan Erlang, so he didn't come up and fell to the ground angrily.Zhou Shengxian was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and he had a heart attack. When he fell down, his limbs became cold and he didn't breathe, so he died.The mother cried bitterly, and the father also felt guilty, so he buried all the jewels in his daughter's room with him.This matter caught a tomb robber's eyes.Among the grave diggers invited by the Zhou family was Zhu Zhen, who was born in a family of tomb robbers. His public identity was "the pit digger (tomb digger)" and his private identity was a grave robber.Knowing that Zhou Shengxian was buried with a rich family, he paid extra attention when building the tomb, and took good care of his hands and feet to facilitate the excavation.

Zhu Zhen’s family was poor, and when he got home, he told his mother that there was a fortune waiting for him. When his mother learned that he was planning to rob Zhou Shengxian’s tomb, she hurriedly dissuaded him, telling him that the crime of robbing the tomb was not a misdemeanor, and that she would chop it up if she found out. The first one also said that your grandfather also engaged in tomb robbery 20 years ago. He dug up a cemetery at a time. As soon as the coffin lid was opened, the corpse looked at your grandfather and smiled. Your grandfather was surprised. He came back four or five days later. died.Zhu Zhen didn't listen, and said: "Everyone's fate is different. I have told my fortune a few times this year, and I always said that I will get rich." Then he dragged out a package from under the bed, including a knife and an axe, a jar for an oil lamp, a coir raincoat.At the second watch of the night, he said to his mother: "When I come back, knock on the door, and you will open the door." But Zhu Zhen didn't listen to the persuasion, and took advantage of the heavy snow, and quietly left home to go to the cemetery in the middle of the night. work".

Zhu Zhen came to Zhou Shengxian's cemetery in the dark.It turned out that when the burial was done, he made tricks and came in the dark. He immediately used a knife to remove the sundries and rocks on the ground. At the place where the tricks were done during the day, he used a pick knife to pick apart the stones, and used two long needles to build them up. The bricks were slowly moved away, all at once dug into the coffin.At this time, he covered the hole with his coir raincoat, so that it was impossible to see that the tomb had been dug in the dark night. Then he took out the kindling and lit the lamp of the oil tank. Zhou Shengxian who was lying down made three bows and said: "Don't blame me, little lady, I will lend you some wealth temporarily today, and I will accumulate merits for you in the future." Then he took off the gold beads and jewelry on Zhou Shengxian's head one by one. .After putting all the valuable things in the parcel, seeing how much Zhou Shengxian's clothes were worth, he took off his belt; tied one end around Zhou Shengxian's neck and the other end around his neck, Lifting up Zhou Shengxian's body, she took off all her clothes, not even her underwear.

Zhu Zhen was still a bachelor. Although Zhou Shengxian was dead and his face was pale, he was still the embryo of a beauty with a delicate face.Seeing this, Zhu Zhen's lust became lustful, and he took off his trousers and raped Zhou Shengxian's corpse. After a few tricks, Zhou Shengxian suddenly opened his eyes and hugged Zhu Zhen with both hands.It turned out that Zhou Shengxian cared about Fan Erlang wholeheartedly. Seeing his father forbid him, he was angry and dead. In fact, it was just a kind of fake death. Now that he got yang harmony, it shocked the internal organs and stimulated the central nervous system. He woke up immediately, but scared Zhu Zhen half to death. .

Zhou Shengxian woke up and asked, "Brother, who are you?" Zhu Zhen knew that she was not a ghost when he heard her speak, so he quickly said, "Sister, I'm here to save you." Seeing everything in front of him, he knew what was going on, but he just said: "Brother, you saved me to see Fan Erlang in Fanlou Hotel, I will thank you very much." Zhu Zhen wanted to kill Zhou Shengxian with a knife, but Thinking about it, other people spend money to beg for their wives, and now there is a beautiful girl here, why don't I trick her into my hand? So he said to Zhou Shengxian: "Don't panic, I will take you home and help you meet your Fan Erlang." So I packed up the tools and things, helped Zhou Shengxian out of the tomb, restored the tomb, went back to the door of my house, knocked on the door three times, his mother opened the door, saw Zhou Shengxian was startled, and said: "You Why did you bring all the dead bodies back. After Zhu Zhen finished explaining in a few words, he took Zhou Shengxian to his bedroom, and forced Zhou Shengxian with a shining knife to say, "If you have two things for me, I will take you to see Fan Erlang."First, you are not allowed to make a sound in the room, and second, you are not allowed to leave the room. "Zhou Shengxian kept talking about Yide. Zhu Zhen came out and confessed to his mother. Just like this, Zhu Zhen, a rascal, dominated Zhou Shengxian. When Zhou Shengxian asked about Fan Erlang, he always told her that Fan Erlang was sick. Zhou Shengxian knew that Zhu Zhen was lying to her, and he thought of a plan to escape all day long, and finally found an opportunity to escape.

Zhou Shengxian escaped from Zhu's house and looked for Fanlou Restaurant. Some kind-hearted people brought her into Fanlou Restaurant. Fan Erlang was at the counter of the hotel to settle accounts when he suddenly heard someone call: "Erlang Wanfu!" Seeing that it was Zhou Shengxian, he thought it was her ghost appearing to haunt him, so scared he shouted to catch ghosts, and in a panic, he grabbed a soup bucket in the shop and threw it at Zhou Shengxian's head, just hitting his temple, Zhou Shengxian fell to the ground Blood was flowing, this time he was really dead.

This tomb robber Zhu Zhen had a good harvest of money and sex. He got a lot of money by robbing the tomb, and also caught up with the "rape corpse".However, having said that, if Zhu Zhen hadn't robbed the tomb, Zhou Shengxian wouldn't have been able to come back to life.But it is a pity that when Zhou Shengxian went to find his lover Fan Erlang after his resurrection, Fan Erlang beat her to death like a ghost.

Queen of Tragedy rests in peace

Ancient my country was a society that highly respected Buddhism and Taoism.Most people at that time believed that the soul did not die after death, but went to another world. As long as the deceased can possess everything in life, the soul after death will continue the life of the previous life.Therefore, those princes, generals, dignitaries and dignitaries all pay attention to generous burials.However, with the popularity of thick burials, tomb robbery activities have become more and more rampant.Those treasures buried in the underground palace with the corpse not only failed to be enjoyed by the soul, but were robbed by tomb robbers, and even brought great disaster to the corpse itself.In order to obtain the treasures in the coffin and on the body of the deceased, the tomb robbers dissected the coffin and removed the corpse, throwing the remains of the deceased everywhere.Sometimes, in order to snatch a treasure, several tomb robbers tore at the bones until the bones fell apart.

When the tomb of Emperor Tongzhi was robbed, the tomb robbers saw that the queen's body was well preserved and thought that there must be gold and jade hidden in her stomach.In order to obtain these things, the tomb robbers dragged out the queen's body, cut open her stomach with a knife, and writhed inside, causing the internal organs to flow all over the floor.In addition, some beautiful and well-preserved female corpses were even raped by tomb robbers, and their fate was terrible.

Huiling Mausoleum, located in the Eastern Tomb of Qing Dynasty, is the joint burial mausoleum of Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun and Empress Arut in the Qing Dynasty. It was excavated by soldiers and bandits in 1945.After hearing the news, the government of the Republic of China sent personnel to the underground palace to check, and found that Zai Chun's body had rotted so early that only a skeleton remained. Arut's body was thrown out of the coffin, but the body was intact and his face was lifelike. It was not until she was buried It has been 70 years.By the way, it is said that the tomb robbers heard that she died by swallowing gold, and when they visited Huiling for the second time, they stripped off all her clothes and disemboweled her... If her body was like Zai Chun, it would have matured early. A pile of dead bones, this kind of misfortune will never happen.

Empress Xiaozheyi, Arut, was the married wife of Emperor Tongzhi. She was born in the fourth year of Xianfeng (1854), and was two years older than Tongzhi.Arut is a Mongolian with a long family background, good at poetry and prose, dignified and virtuous, and has the demeanor of a mother.Such a queen was hated by the Empress Dowager Cixi, the mother of Emperor Tongzhi, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not harmonious, so Arut was insulted and even abused by Cixi.

Back then, when choosing a queen for Emperor Tongzhi, Ci'an was optimistic about the well-born Alut family, while Cixi favored the Fucha family, the daughter of Yiyuanwailang's family.Emperor Tongzhi was more attracted to the Arut family, and Ci'an's status was higher than that of Cixi, so the Arut family finally became the queen, and the Fucha family was named Concubine Hui.

After the wedding, Arut and Tongzhi Dien fell in love deeply.Alut is virtuous and virtuous, but because of her straightforward personality, not good at A Jue, and the granddaughter of Cixi's former political enemy, Prince Zheng, Cixi does not like her, and even makes things difficult for her repeatedly, trying to destroy the relationship between her and Emperor Tongzhi .Cixi spread confidant spies widely in the palace to monitor the words and deeds of the young couple.Cixi saw that Emperor Tongzhi seldom went to Concubine Hui's palace, and Concubine Hui was very dissatisfied with being alienated and neglected by the emperor, so she summoned Emperor Tongzhi and said: "Concubine Hui is a virtuous and wise concubine, although she is concubine, she should be married to her." Meet. The empress is young and has not mastered the etiquette in the palace, so it is advisable to learn from time to time. The emperor should not go to the middle palace, which will interfere with government affairs." Emperor Tongzhi did not dare to disobey his mother's order, and did not want to be close to Concubine Hui, so he lived alone in Qianqing Palace.Cixi had the idea of ​​abolishing the queen many times, but she gave up because of the obstruction of the ministers.

The newly married Alut lived alone in the palace, alone and depressed.Ci'an often summoned her to Zhongcui Palace, chatted with her and comforted her in every possible way.Emperor Tongzhi respected the queen very much, and the queen loved her husband even more.Every time Arut saw the emperor, he would greet him with a smile, but Cixi said that the queen was "beautiful to confuse the Lord".

At this time, the empress dowagers of the two palaces were still in control of the government, and Emperor Tongzhi could not govern in person outside, and could not get along with his beloved empress day and night at home, feeling bored and depressed.Emperor Tongzhi was ill, Arut was anxious and wanted to visit him, but he was scared by Cixi's despotic power and dared not go.Cixi blamed her for "the demon maid has no love for husband and wife".When Tongzhi was dying, Arut went to visit secretly and wiped the pus and blood for Emperor Tongzhi with his own hands. Cixi scolded her, "You maidservant, at this time, you are still charming, and you are going to die, Alfie?" In a dilemma, no matter what you do, you can't get anything good.According to the "Chongling Biography Records", Arut once went to visit Emperor Tongzhi's illness, and shed tears and poured out the pain of being alone in the palace and being abused.Emperor Tongzhi comforted her and said: "Be patient for a while, and you will eventually have a bright future." These words of the young couple were heard by Cixi who followed and eavesdropped outside, and became furious. Teshi's hair was pulled out while beating, and he threatened to prepare a big staff to serve him.When Emperor Tongzhi saw the empress being humiliated in public, he felt pity and anxiety, and passed out.Since then, Emperor Tongzhi has been seriously ill and has become terminally ill.In the 13th year of Tongzhi (1874), Emperor Tongzhi died of illness.Emperor Tongzhi had no heir, and the successor was Tongzhi's younger brother, called Guangxu.

Alut has a straightforward personality and is not good at flattering.She thinks that she is the queen who is married from the Daqing Gate, as long as she behaves well and does things upright, there is no need to flatter and flatter her.Moreover, she irritated and irritated Cixi several times intentionally or unintentionally, which made the contradiction more acute.Once, Alut accompanied Cixi to a theater, "When he was performing an obscene drama, he turned his head to the wall and didn't want to watch it. Cixi repeatedly ordered it, but if he didn't follow it, he already hated it."On the one hand, Arut's performance was disobedient and disobedient, and on the other hand, it reflected Cixi's lustful and vulgar style, which deepened her resentment towards Arut's.The people around Arut advised her to please Cixi everywhere, and to be kind to her. Only by building a good relationship with the empress dowager can she keep her seat, otherwise it will be bad for herself.Arut said: "You can respect it, but you can't. I am ordered by the ancestors of heaven and earth, and those who are welcomed by the Great Qing Gate cannot be easily shaken." Ti entered through the Daqing Gate, which was an eternal pain in her heart.Someone secretly told Cixi about Arut's words, and Cixi was furious, thinking that she was deliberately despising herself, so she "had more hatred for Arut, because she had the heart to die."

Arut was unbearable to be abused by Empress Dowager Cixi repeatedly, and felt that it was embarrassing for her to live in the palace as a widowed wife, so she committed suicide at the age of 22.Although Alut was bullied during her lifetime, she was a queen after all, and she never neglected her affairs afterward, and was buried in Huiling.

On the day of Arut's death, the empress dowagers of the two palaces told the cabinet: "Empress Jiashun was the consort of the Daxing emperor in the 11th year of Tongzhi, and she was in the middle palace. Yan Shunzhi, filial piety is not violated, last December, the emperor suffered from severe menstrual pain, and the emperor Long Yu was a guest, and the injury was too severe, so he fell into a serious illness, and died today at Yinke, with deep sorrow." This is the official cause of death announced by the Qing court, but said It's too vague to be convincing.

The first robbery case in Dongling that shocked China and the world occurred in July 1928. The warlord Sun Dianying robbed and excavated Emperor Qianlong's Yuling and Cixi Mausoleum underground palaces. In August 7, after Japan surrendered, some bandits and criminals in the Tanglin area took advantage of the turbulent situation and the chaos of the regime change to create the second big robbery in Tanglin.The mausoleums stolen this time include the Jingling Mausoleum of Emperor Kangxi, the Ding Mausoleum of Emperor Xianfeng, the Hui Mausoleum and Ci'an Mausoleum of Emperor Tongzhi.There are so many mausoleums stolen, and the losses are terrible, even more serious than last time.

According to the "World Journal" on April 35 in the 1946th year of the Republic of China (22): "The three tombs of the Qing Dynasty were stolen in December 34. One, Tongzhi Huiling, two coffins. One ruled, one accompanied the concubine, and the corpses were completely unrecognizable. Like life. On the altar table in front of the golden coffin is a Tongzhi emerald seal and a gold watch. Inside and outside the coffin, jewelry, jade, metal, etc., are packed in sacks and then weighed with an incense burner. The gold is about [-] catties."

According to the "North China Daily" on May 35, 29: "The confession of the robbers in Huiling is briefly stated: In November 34th, under the order of the commander, civilians were recruited to dig Huiling, and the stone gate was blown open with explosives. There are four shelves, which are arranged on both sides. On one side is a green seal of the emperor and a green seal of the empress, and on the other side are books and printing plates. There is nothing on the second and third floors. There are two coffins on the fourth floor. Hammers and others split the coffin, and from the imperial coffin took out a half-jin heavy gold ink box, a gold gossip weighing four taels, a gold watch with white beads on the four sides as a gift from the United States, and a gold watch that can last for half a year. Two strings of white beads, one emerald finger, one golden brazier, and one emerald pipe. Take out a phoenix crown from the back coffin, a pair of white jade bracelets, a pair of gold bracelets, and a string of emerald, pearl, agate and wooden court beads, weighing three One piece of two gold nine chains, one phoenix hairpin, one agate wrench finger, one gold inlaid white bead ring, one emerald plaque, one long green hairpin, other sporadic items cannot be counted."

These funerary objects in Empress Xiaozheyi's coffin and those in Emperor Tongzhi's coffin were all stolen.

After the Huiling Mausoleum was stolen, because the Dongling Mausoleum was unmanned at that time, the robbery was not blocked until 1952 when the Dongling Tomb of the Qing Dynasty was established as a cultural relics preservation office.Since the entrance of the cave has not been blocked for a long time, many local people have visited the underground palace.According to the local legend: Alut's face looks like life, and his body has not rotted at all. He was dragged out of the coffin by the tomb robbers, stripped of his clothes, naked, his stomach was cut open, and his intestines spilled all over the floor.It was widely rumored in the society that this empress swallowed gold to death, and they plucked her intestines from beginning to end in order to get the gold.Poor Queen Alut.After death, he ended up like this.

Alut's life was short and miserable, and she was humiliated after her death. It can be said that she was the empress with the most tragic fate in the Qing Dynasty.
