Return to Ming Dynasty as Prince Chapter 96: Emperor Mausoleum Jinjing
Chapter 96 Emperor Mausoleum Golden Well
Yang Ling read Li enumerate man’s reply and felt a little ashamed of Miss Gao. If I said to her at this time, I’m afraid it would be even more sad for the family. I have to put it aside first, and then it’s ambiguous. It's over. He was too embarrassed to go to the back house again, so he stayed in the study all night, and went to Tai Ling the next morning.
Gao Wenxin's heart is like a mirror, in fact, I have already figured out the ending. Her father is a local, and is also an imperial physician. He is very well-known in the village. Gao Wenxin followed his loving father and learned a superb medical skill. Doctor Gao worked as a servant in the palace, and villagers with intractable diseases in the country asked to come. This eldest lady always showed up to treat others regardless of her identity, and her reputation was also smashed.
There are many people in contact. Miss Gao has also heard about the husband that she has never met. She knows the heirs of Li Fu's poetry and rituals, the scholars of generations, and she also knows about the behavior of this husband family.
Since she has been in the Jiaofang Division, it doesn't matter whether she is innocent or not. The important thing is that no one has a way to declare her innocence to the world. The Li family is a local gentry with status, how can he marry a new wife to make irresponsible remarks? Moreover, she is still a servant now, and Li Jiajuan will not surrender her status for her.
Yang Ling I am embarrassed to return to the back house to see her, but she feels a little sad. Now Gao Wenxin dare not hold any extravagant hopes for her own future. Although Han Youniang takes good care of her and treats her with courtesy, Gao Wenxin still stubbornly wears her maid’s clothes, gives her maid’s ritual, and regards herself as a slave.
Tai Tomb is in Bijia Mountain in the northwest of Changling. Yang Ling has been here twice when it just took the order. This time, we will see that Luocheng, which has a radius of nearly two hundred meters, has begun to see its scale. The planned Xiangdian in the cemetery, The wing room and the god's kitchen have not yet been built, but the Jinjing Baoshan City has been built.
Jinjing is the most central location of the underground palace and the most important place in the entire imperial tomb. Although only responsible for the construction and building of the house, there will be no delay, Yang Ling still sent the left sentry soldiers directly under its control to build the imperial mausoleum. The person in charge of the project in the mausoleum was Feng Tang, the new capital secretary of the Third Division. This man was steady and down-to-earth, and he suffered.
A row of houses was built on the mountain not far from the cemetery. It is where the officials of the Qintian Supervisor, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Rites, and Shenjiying are daily offices. On the mausoleum, Lian Delu, Peng Jizu and Feng Tang have heard When the adults arrived, they all rushed back to see each other.
Peng Jizu saw Yang Ling and chuckled and said: "My lord, you can come and have a look after a month. Our brothers are also watching the bunnies working from above. How can this mausoleum be made different? The yamen worry about it, nothing will happen."
Yang Ling said: "Well, it’s been hard work for you generals, but the emperor has issued this messenger, and officials from all ministries are on the tomb. If I always stay here, I will inevitably be criticized. In fact, this officer also thinks that we The people here are just doing coolies. As long as the officers and soldiers are not lazy, what can we soldiers say about building the mausoleum?"
Feng Tang frowned slightly, he looked like he wanted to talk. After hearing Yang Ling's words, he finally couldn't help saying: "My lord, during lunch a few days ago, a brother reported that water was leaking from the Jinjing in the underground palace. The officer has not reported to the adults."
Lian Delu touched the pockmark on his face, and said disapprovingly, "I said, Lao Feng, you are too cautious. The underground palace is dug so deep, so fortunately this is on the mountain, otherwise dozens of wells have been dug out. , What's so strange about water seepage?"
These generals are not literate, and Feng Shui is even more ignorant. Jiben didn't realize the power of it. Not long after Feng Tang was promoted, he was ridiculed by Lian Du Si, and his old face blushed. He hurriedly defended: "
I didn’t think there was anything great when I heard about it, but it’s strange that Lord Ni and the minister of rituals hurried away after hearing the news. They looked like they were facing an enemy. I saw it strange and wanted to follow the mausoleum to see, but was blocked by them. Master Ni pretended to survey the geography to determine good or bad. All the seven or eight brothers who were guarding inside were driven out. It took more than an hour to allow us. Back to the underground palace".
Yang Ling's expression moved, he leaned forward, looked at him attentively and said: "Go on, what happened afterwards?"
Lian and Peng saw that he looked a little dignified, they didn't dare to talk and laugh, they just looked at Feng Tang, Feng Tang said: "After the official went back, he found that there was no spring overflowing from the well. Later, Father Dai and Li of the Ministry of Industry The attendant also rushed to hear the news, and just heard a long story telling someone about the discovery of water overflow in the Jinjing. Father Dai was furious when he heard it, and even took the whip and scolded him, not allowing anyone to make further rumors. In the end, seeing them being so cautious, this has become suspicious."
Yang Ling walked slowly in the room for a few steps, and muttered: "The underground palace is where the coffin of the first emperor is placed. If the underground palace sees water, it is indeed a major event. But... digging such a deep underground palace, just I have never seen any impermeable.
Didn’t the surrounding area of the underground palace also use loess, clear mud, and stones to form three waterproof walls up to 12 meters thick? When I came last time, I saw Li Shilang shooting an arrow at the rammed earth layer to check whether the rammed earth is strong. It can be seen that water seepage is common when digging underground palaces. Why is the water seepage in Jinjing so tense? "
He thought for a while and couldn’t help. He couldn’t help but glanced at Yang Yiqing inquiringly. Yang Yiqing also shook his head and said, “My lord, all of you are generals leading the war. We don’t know these things about geomantic omen. , But... Qin Tian Jian and the servant of the Ministry of Rites must know, why not ask them?"
Lian Delu sneered: "Xiao Yang, didn't you look at those adults who look down on our leader? They don't even bother with the generals. If you want to hide it, can you ask? "
Yang Yiqing smiled slightly, just looking at Yang Ling, Yang Ling smiled knowingly: "Don’t tell me? Let’s go and see by ourselves, let’s go, as soon as the person brings the incense case, the officer will sacrifice the tomb, and then Go look inside."
Yang Ling arrived at Tai Ling, the grand location of Xiangjing Ling, and worshipped with great fanfare, and then ordered the soldiers in the underground palace to withdraw, and then led the three capital officers into the underground palace to investigate. As the momentum, some people from other yamen saw it strangely, and rushed back to report to their adult.
The so-called Jinjing in the underground palace, also called the acupoint, is where the dragon's cave of the imperial mausoleum is located, so once it is dug up, no one can touch it at will. This golden well is actually just a hole half a foot in diameter and about one meter deep. Since the time of excavation, a cover has been added to it, so that the sun, moon, and stars cannot be seen.
and the soil taken out during the excavation of the cave is called auspicious soil. It must be presented to the emperor’s imperial lan, and then kept in the lobby of the Ministry of ceremonies. After the emperor’s burial, it will be backfilled with rare and exotic treasures in order to seek the town’s tomb, This shows its importance.
So in this Jinjing, theoretically, only five ministers on the decree are qualified to reach out and explore. Yang Ling put on incense and cleansed his hands. Then he came to the underground palace. The upper part of the underground palace has been covered, but it has not been sealed. The huge pillars and stone platforms in the underground palace have been arranged 70%, and the center of the stone platform where the coffin is placed, It is the golden well that colludes with yin and yang and communicates anger.
Yang Ling came to the Jinjing and reached out to explore the wall of the well. Although it was a bit cool, it didn’t seem to be flooded. I couldn’t help but startled. Feng Tang hurriedly said: "My lord, the last will ask that one What a long time, but he insisted that he had seen the gushing water in the Jinjing with his own eyes, and several brothers in the underground palace at that time also said the same. It was always a mistake together?"
Yang Ling thought for a while, holding on to the rock and digging most of the body in, groping for a while at the bottom of the hole, the bottom of the hole felt very dry, but the center of the Jinjing should be a cabochon of soil, but at this time It's faintly concave, and it's a bit rubbed, it seems that something has been pestered.
Yang Ling fumbled for a while, stood up and watched under the lamp. The dirt on his hands was very dry, but the dirt was powdery, not like the rammed soil at the bottom of the cave, and he felt suspicious.
Yang Ling returned to the residence with great doubts and just sat down, the Qin Tian Supervisor Ni Qian and Li Duo, the minister of rituals, hurried over. As soon as he entered the door, Ni Qian smiled unnaturally: "Master Yang went to the underground palace to inspect it just after he came back? Master Yang came from central Beijing, but does the emperor have any plans for the construction of the imperial mausoleum?"
Yang Ling stood up and laughed: "It turns out that it is Lord Ni and Lord Li, please sit down. The emperor is very concerned about the imperial mausoleum. He is worried that the officers and soldiers will slack off and delay the project, so he asked the officer to return to the mausoleum to supervise the officers and soldiers. I went to worship the mausoleum of Emperor Xian, and I was about to meet the adults, but I didn't expect the two adults to come first."
Ni Qian asked Dai Gonggong to pull the assistant man of the Ministry of Engineering to calculate the cost of the project, and stumbled on Mr. Li of the Ministry of Engineering, and he hurried over, just wanting to know whether Yang Ling knew about the news of the water overflow in the underground palace two days ago. Hearing that, he laughed and said: "The project is progressing smoothly and there is nothing wrong with it, Master Yang, don't worry."
Yang Ling smiled faintly: "This officer is only responsible for the safety of the imperial mausoleum and supervises the observance of the construction of the officers and soldiers. There is nothing to worry about. Moreover, I am a layman who is afraid and can't see anything. But... .. Why did the official heard that water came out of the Jinjing in the underground palace two days ago?"
Ni Qian shivered, and said with a dry smile: "That's just a very long drunk and drunk, and other officers and soldiers also spread false rumors. It's really unbelievable!"
"Really?" Yang Ling stared at him and said: "The officer heard that several adults have already visited him. I didn't believe him, but I just went to see it personally. The bottom of the well is really moist. It's very heavy, muddy and muddy, as if it's a little seeping."
When Li Duo, the servant of the courtesy department, his face changed drastically, he said: "The spring has been plugged with a wooden plug and tamped with three ash soil. How can the water seep again? I have to find a chance to block it again. But Yang Ling is one of the five ministers specified in the imperial edict, and the emperor and the former celebrity. Although I have a higher rank than him, I am afraid I can’t support him. With him here, how can I move my hands?"
Ni Qian was also terrified in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The underground is dark and damp, and muddy and muddy are normal. I have waited carefully to look at it, and it has never seen water...", he said it was difficult to stop here. Fear, the voice could not help but tremble.
Yang Ling hehe smiled and said: "It’s fine if there is nothing wrong, but since there are rumors, this matter is not sloppy. This official will report this matter to the emperor, and ask the emperor to send an expert who is proficient in geography to see what happened. I have seen it without any problems, and if there are any problems in the future, we will not be involved."
Ni Qian said in unison: "Never!" Ni Qian stepped forward and grabbed Yang Ling's arm and said anxiously: "The mausoleum building event, how can the emperor be shocked by speculation and news, Master Yang, don't be reckless."
Yang Ling saw that their panic expressions were eight or nine points in their hearts, he couldn't help but sneered: "Two adults, Yang has already checked the matter of Jinjing out of the water. I have all the personal and material evidence in my hand. How long will you hide from me?"
Ni Qian was shocked, Li Jie oozes cold sweat on his forehead, his face pale yellow and extremely ugly. Qin Tian Supervisor Ni Qian trembling knees, and after shaking for a while, he bowed to the ground and said in a panic: "Master Yang, I am so helpless, I have to do this and ask Master Yang to help me!"
Yang Ling winked at Yang Yiqing, Yang Yiqing stepped out knowingly, and quietly closed the door. Yang Ling then stepped forward to help Ni Qian, and Ji Yan smiled and said, "Why do you have to be an adult, but what are the details in the inside? I also hope that the adults will speak and listen to me. Yang must listen carefully and understand before he can decide to stop. !"

Wang Jinglong sits in the study of Yang Ling, holding a teacup, and looks like an old monk enters Ding.
This was originally the study room of the imperial physician Gao Tinghe. There were no words or pictures on the walls, and the bookshelves were full of medical books. There was nothing to entertain.
He has been to Yang Mansion four times in the past seven days. Except for the first time, Mrs. Yang asked the maid to help her out to meet him and his wife Zhang, and returned to the inner house after talking a few words. In the future, the old housekeeper who is waiting at the door will take care of him with two servants.
Wang Jinglong also talked with him quite politely at the beginning, knocking on the side to inquire about the situation of Yang Ling, but unfortunately this old housekeeper does not know much about Master Yang, and there is nothing useful from this old servant. s things.
This old housekeeper answers every question. He stands up for a day without asking questions. Sometimes Wang Jinglong sits boring and wants to walk around in the living room. The old housekeeper also tends to stay at his feet, making him helpless. , There is no chance to get dirty.
However, his wife Zhang was weak and sick for many years and was bedridden for many years. Because of this, she was inconvenienced to ask a doctor for detailed consultation. So the more and more it dragged on, she asked Miss Gao for treatment since she came to Yang Mansion. The effect is obvious. This is considered to be a loss. The mulberry is harvested. The Wang Jinglong is ineffective, and the right to bring his wife for consultation and treatment.
It’s just that he is really boring and boring like sitting meditation every day, and the two stunning and beautiful maidservants have never seen one side. When he thought about it, those two women were only the maids of the Yang Mansion, who usually took care of the handyman in the mansion. He always had a chance to see when he sat here. Unexpectedly, he couldn't see anyone a few times, and he couldn't help but miss the two beautiful maids. With her enchanting face and windy figure, the third son of Wang seemed to be suffering from lovesickness. Every time he was in the study, his heart had been in the back garden of the house.
Wang Jinglong put down the tea cup and saw that Madam Shichen was about to finish the acupuncture. She couldn't help but sighed secretly. Feeling disappointed, there was a sudden sound of fine footsteps, and then the old housekeeper at the door respectfully said: "What are the two girls? Come to the front yard?"
I only heard a clear and sweet voice of a girl saying: "Sister Wenxin needs to use plum needles today. This needle is in the needle box in the study. I will take it for her."
With the sound, two young girls with plain face in Tsing Yi, beautiful and free from dust appeared at the entrance of the study room. Wang Jinglong saw that these two girls were the couple he had been thinking about, and he could not help but stand up with surprise and joy. Come, he said happily: "It turns out that the two girls are here."
Since Miss Gao came back, no one has treated her as a servant, but this Miss Gao has always treated Youniang with maidservants. How obedient are the two Yu Tangchun, and they will soon follow suit, but this body is pure. Dressing up is only more eye-catching for a beautiful girl of twenty-eight ages, who is reluctant to look away from seeing Wang Jinglong for a while.
Yu Tangchun Originally, she thought that the prince was golden and extravagant. However, seeing him personally accompany his sick wife to seek medical treatment these few days, she feels that although this scholar has a flashy temperament, it is really crazy to treat his wife. The true feelings can not help but greatly change his view.
She remembers the last time she saw the prince as a maid. At this time, she saw Wang Jinglong getting up to greet him, and she hurriedly turned sideways to salute, and said with a smile: "Prince, the maid is a servant, but you can’t be a noble person. The ceremony. Today Wenxin sister wants to apply plum blossom needle to Mrs. Zun again. I take the needle and go, please wait a while, son."
Yu Tangchun looks better than Xue Limei three-pointer, Tsing Yi snow skin, lining like a beautiful jade, this smile is as bright as a spring flower, Wang Jinglong is itchy to see, unconsciously followed her to the bookshelf Qianying turned around Said: "Well, good girl, thank you girl, girl Lan Xin's kindness, elegant temperament ~ IndoMTL.com~ How can Wang dare to treat a handmaid to each other? This is a proper gift."
Yu Tangchun walked to the bookcase, stood on tiptoe and took the needle box placed on the upper grid. Hearing Wang Jinglong praise her for not looking like a handmaid, she was happy in her heart, and couldn’t help but smiled: "Hehe, the prince has outstanding character and talent. He is a talented man who is a famous master of the capital. The maidservant often hears my adults mention the maid. It is a great honor for the maid to be praised by the maid."
Xue Limei stood behind the two, listening to the two of them praising each other, couldn’t help making a grimace at Yu Tangchun and making a retching expression. Yu Tangchun saw Xue Limei action, couldn’t help laughing with a "card", and then immediately Feeling impolite, he couldn't help blushing, and hurriedly flashed over to give him a blessing: "The son is sitting wide, the maid is gone."
Wang Jinglong looked at Yu Tangchun and blushed when she smiled at him, and then drifted away like a cloud. Even when the girl was attracted by her own wind liu suave appearance, she felt her heart sway and stared at the two of them. Looked at the disappearing door for a long while, as if her outdated fragrance still lingered on the tip of her nose.
Xue Limei took the Yu Tangchun hand and ran to the back garden promenade, then stopped walking and smiled: "It's so awkward, I haven't seen you insulting people for a long time. Look at the overwhelming appearance of the Prince, I don't see you. I exaggerated the master so much".
Yu Tangchun sneered, and gave her a blank look and said, "My lord, do you still use praise? If you can praise him as a god.....God.....I'm eager, oh! Your lord is in the court. To be an official, one more friend is better than one opponent. The Wang Shangshu family is very powerful. Am I not for our master?"
Xue Limei smiled and said: "Shameless, the master doesn't need you to hurt you now, do you want the master to give you a slap in the face again when he comes back from the mausoleum?" With a tap on the hip, Grid smiled and ran away.
