Chapter 1148 Three Changes of Owner
According to the memory fragments fed back from the ice crystal cloud coffin, the person who heard the news from Li Yuan was his son Li Shimin.
In the history of China, Li Shimin was one of the few wise monarchs. At least, under his leadership, the Tang Dynasty entered its most glorious era. He was a great monarch in both civil and military affairs.
In addition, a large number of geniuses emerged in that era, such as civil officials Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and Zhangsun Wuji, and military officials Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, and Qin Shubao.
However, the influence of these civil officials and military generals on Li Shimin was limited to before middle age. In the later years of Emperor Taizong of Tang, the two Taoists had the greatest influence on him.
The names of these two Taoists were Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang.
These two Taoists can be said to have calculated the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years. As for the "Tui Bei Tu" compiled by the two of them, it can be said to be the first prophetic divine book in the history of China.
No matter how wise a monarch is, once he reaches his old age, he will be full of irresistible thoughts about longevity, even Li Shimin is no exception.
In his later years, Li Shimin also began to look for the art of longevity.
When he had this idea, the first thing he remembered was that Emperor Yang of Sui had spent the luck of an entire dynasty to build an underground palace that could resurrect people.
So he sent Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng to secretly search for this underground palace.
As the two most mysterious Taoists in Chinese history, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's strength was naturally not exaggerated. In just three days, they both found the tomb of Emperor Yang of Sui at the same time.
At that time, Li Shimin was already in his twilight years.
On the one hand, he prepared for his funeral and asked people to build his own tomb, Zhaoling. On the other hand, he asked Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng to study the resurrection tomb of Emperor Yang of Sui, wanting to know whether people can really be resurrected after death.
After research, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang came to a definite answer. The huge underground palace arranged by Emperor Yang of Sui, the two largest dragon veins, the most mysterious imperial seal, and the resurrection formation can really make people resurrect after a hundred years.
After hearing this, Li Shimin was overjoyed. He, who was already in the sunset, finally saw the hope of longevity.
So, in the year before his death, the Zhaoling Mausoleum where he practiced was completed. However, he did not regard Zhaoling Mausoleum as his real tomb, but secretly took the secret guards, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng to the ancient tomb in Kunlun Mountain.
Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng used the supreme formation to forcibly kill Emperor Yang of Sui who was being resurrected, and then asked the secret guards to take away the body of Emperor Yang of Sui and throw it in the wilderness.
Afterwards, the two most mysterious Taoists remodeled the entire tomb structure and used the things inside to arrange a huge Tiangang Beidou resurrection formation.
Before Li Shimin was about to die, he lay in the resurrection formation, which was considered to be a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest.
The tomb that Emperor Yang of Sui spent the entire country to build became Li Shimin's resurrection tomb.
Before Li Shimin died, he had given an order to his most loyal secret guards, that is, after he died, he must kill Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng to prevent the two Taoists from leaking his secrets.
But since Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng could calculate the things that would happen in the next few hundred years, they would naturally calculate their disasters.
At the beginning, the two of them used coercion and inducement to successfully bribe Li Shimin's two most core secret guards, so after Li Shimin died, the secret guards let Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng go.
If it were just like this, although this Kunlun Tomb could be called a legendary existence, it would not be really shocking.
Because when Li Shimin was still alive, he once favored a girl named Wu Meiniang!
When Wu Meiniang was young, Yuan Tiangang once told her fortune. At that time, Wu Zetian was dressed as a man. Yuan Tiangang once said: Dragon eyes and deep neck, extremely rich and noble.
Later, after Wu Meiniang entered the palace, Li Shimin also asked Li Chunfeng to tell Wu Meiniang's fortune. As a result, Li Chunfeng said that Wu Meiniang had the image of the Purple Star Emperor!
In other words, Wu Meiniang had the image of an emperor!
However, there had never been a female emperor in history, and Li Shimin did not take it seriously at the time. However, he gradually alienated Wu Zetian. Later, because the young Wu Meiniang was too sharp and did something wrong, Li Shimin simply demoted her to the palace and became the lowest level in the palace.
All of this is a fuse. Any earth-shaking big figure has its extraordinary place, and also has its downfall.
Li Shimin failed to educate his son. At least his son was almost killed by himself for various reasons. In the end, he had to let the more honest and loyal Li Zhi take over the throne.
Honest people are easy to be bullied, especially this honest man, who also had a crush on a woman that even his father was afraid of, and finally married this woman and made her the queen.
Wu Meiniang, who was almost as smart as a demon, had finally ushered in her own spring after struggling through all kinds of life disasters and the warmth and coldness of human nature.
For her, after the death of Li Shimin, there was no one in the world who could really threaten her.
And the honest emperor Li Zhi was simply a puppet in front of the fully grown Wu Zetian. The emperor was never something an honest man could do.
Sure enough, in the first year of Chuigong, Li Zhi announced a decision that shocked the world. He was recovering from illness and let Wu Meiniang, who later became Wu Zetian, be the regent.
The first female emperor of China was born, which caused a sensation and shocked the world for thousands of years. She was truly unprecedented and unparalleled.
After Wu Zetian officially ascended the throne, the first major event was to summon Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, who were already in their old age at the time, and directly asked about Li Shimin's final tomb.
Li Shimin's grand construction of Zhaoling Mausoleum might be concealed from outsiders, but it could never be concealed from Wu Zetian!
Wu Zetian knew very well that Li Shimin was definitely not in Zhaoling Mausoleum, but had secretly gone out with Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang.
Because Li Shimin had given an order to his secret guards before his death, the order was to kill Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang. Although the two Taoists escaped by bribing the secret guards, they could not help but feel some resentment.
When the two of them were summoned, they had already anticipated Wu Zetian's thoughts, and did not hide it. They told the whole story of Li Shimin's seizure of the ancient tomb of Emperor Yang of Sui.
Can people really live forever?
From ancient times to now, there has never been a true conclusion.
Wu Zetian was a person who planned ahead. Although she was not old at that time, she had already begun to think about her afterlife. While she was governing the country, she began to secretly plot a great plot to resurrect Li Shimin's tomb.
In the second year of her reign, she summoned Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang again and conspired with them overnight.
From that day on, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang mysteriously disappeared and never appeared in the eyes of the world again, and Wu Zetian's Qianling Mausoleum also began to be built on this day.
It was not until after Wu Zetian's death that a world-famous wordless stone tablet was erected in front of her tomb.
She had explained the meaning of this wordless stone tablet before her death, that is, right and wrong, merits and demerits, will be judged by future generations.
However, is this really the case?
The information in the ice crystal cloud coffin stopped abruptly when it was transmitted here, and there was a blank behind it, and the light bursting from the ice crystal cloud coffin gradually dimmed.
In addition to these memories, Xiong Yu also felt that the free and easy true qi in his body seemed to have undergone some mysterious transformation in this process.
As for what it looked like after the transformation, Xiong Yu couldn't figure it out for a while.
As the light on the ice crystal white jade coffin faded, the originally cheering Xiaoyao Zhenqi suddenly quieted down, revealing a hint of sadness, as if commemorating something.
Xiong Yu was still carefully digesting the information transmitted to his mind by the ice crystal white jade pavilion. After a moment, his dark eyes narrowed slightly, and then he looked up.
Would Wu Zetian be buried in Qianling in front of the wordless monument after her death?
In Xiong Yu's opinion, that was absolutely impossible!
The location where they are now is indeed the crown position of the sycamore tree, but the growth of this sycamore tree is quite peculiar. After the main trunk of the tree formed a crown in this place, it continued to grow upwards.
Moreover, a second crown was formed high above!
This thousand-year-old sycamore tree has two crowns, one above and one below!
