Chapter 79 Ning Palace Tomb

Su Wuniang took an earthworm-like, winding map, inquired around, and finally found the mountains of Hongdu West Mountain - there is really a large tomb hidden in the deep mountains. Because she went up the mountain from the north, Su Wuniang looked up and the first thing she saw was the top of the dense fortress.

Zhu Quan, the first king of Ning, was the seventeenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang. He was born in 1378 and died in 1448. At the age of 13, he was awarded the title of vassal in Daning and was known as the King of Ning. In the first year of Yongle (1403), he was renamed Nanchang. After Zhu Quan's death, he was also known as King Ning Xian.

He is beautiful, intelligent, and reads everything in the book. He is known as the "King of Sages". He devoted his life to studying and writing. He is a drama theorist, playwright and guqinist. The Taihe Zhengyin Score is the earliest existing miscellaneous opera score in China and an important theoretical work in the history of Chinese opera. The "Zhonghe" piano made by Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, is a waterfall that has been recorded in history. It is known as the first piano of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, he believes in Taoism and called himself Daming Qishi, Xian, Han Xuzi and Mr. Danqiu.

Zhu Quan's life's treatise can be divided into two periods by living in Nanchang. In the early stage, as a respected and powerful prince, he took the theme of studying the change of regime in history and summed up experiences and lessons to maintain the rule of the Ming Dynasty. In the later period, due to his resentment against reality, Zhu Quan no longer studied history and completely separated from politics

(In the 31st year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang died and the emperor Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne for Emperor Jianwen. The following year, Zhu Di marched into Nanjing and launched the four-year-long "Jingnan Battle". Before Zhu Di raised his army, he coerced Zhu Quan to send troops to help him, and allowed him to divide the world with him after capturing Nanjing. After four years of war, Zhu Di defeated Emperor Jianwen and seized power, that is, the emperor. He was the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, and his name was Yongle.)

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he not only did not mention the division of the world, but also moved Zhu Quan from Hebei to Nanchang, Jiangxi, and seized all his military power. Zhu Quan was deeply distressed by this great creation of flesh and blood. He was discouraged and deeply concealed himself. He built a fine house in the suburbs of Nanchang. He fell in love with opera, entertainment, writing and interpretation. He often dealt with literati and monks. In his later years, he believed in Taoism, took good care of tea ceremony, and sent his love to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In the face of grievances and humiliation, Zhu Quan could only borrow "published" and "seeking" "Tao" to vent, more importantly, to protect himself, but later, he seemed to have really become indifferent and quiet. Of course, the comfort and point of monstroy are indispensable. Unfortunately, Zhu Chenhao's attitude towards life has not been passed on to Zhu Chenhao's restless blood.

There has always been only a flying dragon in the sky, and the flying snake in the dream undoubtedly represents the usurpation of the throne. It swallowed the people in the house one by one, which was a sign of the extermination of the clan. Therefore, the king of Ningkang entrusted this dream to Wang Shouren, and the sword handed to him was to let Wang Shouren kill Zhu Chenhao, who rebelled - killing one person can save the whole house!

Wang Shouren didn't want to kill Zhu Chenhao without war and bloodshed, but now he has not figured out who possessed Zhu Chenhao, who was sleeping during the day and acting at night, was possessed? He was just a puppet. What's the use of killing him! Ningkang Wang Tuo's vague dream did not show Wang Shouren a way, so he had to let Su Wu Niang try to dig out useful information.

It was already dusk when Su Wuniang arrived at Xishan Zhenling Cemetery. The distant mountains have covered the sunset, but the western sky is still red like a few strokes of blood. The mountains and tombs are still half-light and half-dark, which makes the tombs farther away a little illusory, as if they were erratic in the smoke. It was the first time she saw such a grand cemetery in the dusk. The mountains were very humid. Su Wuniang's body was cold for a while, and her heart was full of unspeakable desolation and nihilism.

A woodcutter passed by and shocked Su Wuniang, "Ah" shouted and ran away - few people were seen along the way, and the woodcutter suddenly appeared, like a ghost appeared out of thin air! She realized that she had overreacted and scared the watchman, so she smiled and nodded slightly to apologize.

The woodcutter did not say anything, but continued to go down the mountain with a burden. Suddenly, he turned around and stopped Su Wuniang: "Girl, it's late. It's not easy to spend the night on the mountain. You must live at the foot of the mountain, or you will never go down the mountain again!"

This sentence made Su Wuniang so cold that she got goosebumps. She stood there and asked tremblingly, "What do you...what do you mean? Is there no living person guarding the tomb in such a royal mausoleum? At least dozens, right? I heard that although Zhu Quan put a Taoist robe into the coffin, he also put money in his mouth and weighed two rows of money, six pieces per row. Other funeral objects, such as gold, silver, copper, tin, jade, porcelain and other objects, are also indispensable, right?

The woodcutter looked at her with no expression on his face.

Seeing that the woodcutter didn't say anything, Su Wuniang hesitated and said, "Don't think that I'm here to rob the tomb... I'm a girl's house, and I don't have the courage. I just want to say that the burial of the descendants of the royal family of all dynasties is the target of tomb robbers. How can no one guard the tomb?! Since there are tomb guards, there are living people!"

The woodcutter sighed, wanted to leave but turned around, and told him, "If you encounter something evil, go to find an old man in black and black trousers, silent and thin, with white hair and purple face!" He is the only living person there!"

After saying that, the woodcutter went down the mountain with a burden.

"Thank you!" Su Wuniang stood there and hesitated. The woodcutter's words just now left a shadow in her heart - is it going up or down the mountain?

"Fight!" She knew that Wang Shouren took the risk of stuffing a note to her, which must be a crucial event! So she climbed up again for a while and saw a gorgeous palace with the words "Antarctic Hall" engraved on the plaque, Taiyuan Hall and Chongxiao Tower on the left, and Xuanji Hall and Lingjiang Tower on the right. Entering, it is the "Longsheng Palace" of the main palace. In front of the palace is the drunken fairy pavilion and a pair of seven-meter-high eight-shaped watches engraved with Taoist charms.

"Oh!" Su Wuniang couldn't help admiring, "I didn't share the world with Zhu Di in my life. After my death, I was more generous than Zhu Di's imperial mausoleum!"

Behind the palace is the tombs seen when going up the mountain. The palace in front of it should have been built for King Ning to live during his lifetime. Living people guard their own cemetery, I don't know what kind of mood it is!

The tomb behind the palace is hidden in the mountains. The tomb is made of green bricks to form a roll arch structure, with a total length of about 30 meters, 20 meters wide and a height of 45 meters. It is divided into four parts: the front room, the secondary front room, the middle room and the back room. The front room is supported by a tap stone, and there is no tap stone in the second door. After the middle room, there is a coupon door to the back room. There is a niche in the middle of the back wall, with redstone as an eight-edged column on both sides. There is a foundation under the column, a positive heart square on the base, and a bucket arch on the square to support the eaves.

Running back and forth, Su Wuniang returned to the palace. She saw that the door of the hall was open and the interior was cleaned, so she looked left and right and walked in.
