Chapter 132 The first section of Yingzheng's burial

Knowing that Fusu was dead, Li Si and his party went forward at full speed, passed through Jingxing and Jiuyuan, and returned to the capital Xianyang from Zhidao, and then announced the news of Yingzheng's death, and mourned the world.Prince Hu Hai successfully succeeded to the throne as Emperor Qin II. Liu Xiangyou said in the Western Han Dynasty: "From ancient times to the present, there has never been a burial as prosperous as the first emperor!" This statement is not an exaggeration.The construction of Lishan Emperor's Mausoleum, which has been completed since Yingzheng succeeded to the throne, and which took thirty-seven years, is finally waiting for its owner.

Regarding the burial of Yingzheng, "Historical Records" records, "Through the three springs, the coffin is made of copper, the palace is full of officials, the rare utensils are rare, and they are moved to Zangman. Let the craftsman make a machine crossbow, and those who pass through it will shoot That. Use mercury as the source of hundreds of rivers, rivers, and oceans, infuse them with astronomy, and geography at the bottom. Use mermaid ointment as a candle, and the immortal will last for a long time." After Yingzheng was buried, one question remained, what should the tens of thousands of harem beauties do?The second emperor Hu Hai was a filial son, no less than some unfilial sons of the royal family in later generations, he couldn't wait to take the late father's harem as his own for his own lust and squandering.But on the other hand, Hu Hai felt that sending the beauties of the late emperor's harem out of the palace, allowing them to marry other people's wives, and putting a green hat on Yingzheng would be inappropriate after all, so he ordered, "The late emperor's harem is not for those who have children." , It is inappropriate to go out, and everyone is ordered to die."

Of the tens of thousands of beauties in the harem, only a few dozen had given birth to Yingzheng, and the rest were forced to bury Yingzheng underground.Among these beauties, some have never been blessed by Ying Zheng, and some have never even seen Ying Zheng's face. Their beauty has withered ahead of time and disappeared in the loess before it can fully bloom. Some people also suggested that the craftsmen are well aware of the organs of the mausoleum and the funerary objects. If they are allowed to come out alive, they may rob the tomb in the future. It is better to kill them to avoid future troubles.Hu Hai thought it was reasonable, so after Yingzheng's burial was settled, he suddenly closed Zhongxian, went down to Waixian Gate, and imprisoned the craftsmen alive in the underground imperial tomb.The fate of these poor craftsmen is not difficult to imagine.

The construction of the mausoleum is a comprehensive project, and it is bound to gather talents from all aspects.And these tens of thousands of craftsmen were undoubtedly the technological elites of the empire at that time, representing the highest technological level of the empire at that time.Their death was a catastrophe in the history of Chinese science and technology. Many technologies at that time were wiped out, and the loss was even greater than the burning of books. To this day, the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor still stands quietly at the northern foot of Mount Li, 30 kilometers east of Xi'an. Inside it lies the rest of China's first emperor, and it also contains countless secrets that will shock the world once it is revealed.Yingzheng will not be lonely, because his mausoleum has become a national AAAA-level tourist attraction, and hundreds of thousands of tourists come to harass him every year.Ying Zheng would not be happy either, because these tourists came here not to pay tribute, but to take pictures, and what's more, they even wished they could step on his grave a few times.

Yingzheng's epitaph (presumably written by Li Si) is hidden deep in the imperial mausoleum, which is unknown today.However, if one borrows "Ancient Style Fifty-Nine Poems and Three" by Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty as Yingzheng's epitaph, it should not be inferior to Li Si's original work.Poetry goes: 〖Qin Huang sweeps Liuhe, the tiger sees He Xiongzai! Swinging the sword to break the floating clouds, all the princes came to the west. A clear judgment comes from the apocalypse, and it is easy to drive a group of talents. Withdraw the soldiers and cast gold, and Hangu is heading east.

Ming Gong Kuaiji Ridge, looking at Langya Terrace. 700,000 prisoners, from Tulishan Kuma. I still take the medicine of immortality, and my heart is sad when I am at a loss. The crossbow shoots the sea fish, and the long whale is Cui Wei. The forehead and nose are like the five mountains, and the waves spray clouds and thunder. Curly hyenas cover the blue sky, why see Penglai? Xu City carries Qin's daughter, when will the building ship return? But I saw that under the three springs, the golden coffin was buried with cold ashes. 〗 Since Hu Hai was the second emperor, he was rewarded for his merits.Li Si has already become the prime minister, an extremely human minister, and there is nothing to add.Zhao Gaogao became the main beneficiary and was promoted to Lang Zhongling (the importance of this position has been explained in the previous article), and he often served the middle school.

The sand dune coup was led by Zhao Gao, and its initial motive was probably just to save his life.At that time, Zhao Gao had been cornered and could only put all his eggs in one basket, fighting trapped beasts. The hesitation of a tiger is not as good as the sting of a bee;It was precisely because Zhao Gao made a decisive decision without hesitation, risked his life and gave it a go, that's how it happened. Since success is so easy, it seems that the old saying is true: No matter how daring a person is and how productive the land is, it is not to blame that Zhao Gao's ambition will suddenly expand.The biggest obstacle preventing him from realizing his ambition is undoubtedly the old prime minister Li Si.Zhao Gao also knew that he was far from being Li Si's opponent right now, and solving Li Si was not his top priority.

His most urgent task is to get rid of the two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi first.
