I became famous for broadcasting my life as a social animal to different dynasties

Beside the sacred road, there are the Changling Divine Merit and Virtue Monument, the Huabiao and the stone statues, all of which are very spectacular.

Several people took photos one by one as a souvenir.

The rulers and ministers of various dynasties watched the later generations smilingly and playing in the imperial mausoleum, which was supposed to be solemn, and they felt uncomfortable.

But I can't say anything.

The people also watched carefully. It turned out that the emperor's tomb looked like this. It felt similar to the imperial palace.

Arriving in front of the Dahongmen, Zhou Jinyu touched the ancient city gate and said, "It is said that the middle archway is for the coffins of the emperor and empress, the tablets of the gods, and sacrificial supplies. The right door is for the emperor who came here to offer sacrifices, and the left door is for the officials who came to offer sacrifices."

"The ancients were very particular about things." Sun Manting muttered.

Zhou Jinfang smiled: "In fact, we in Yuzhou, Lingnan, also have many particularities."

"What's so particular?" Sun Manting asked curiously.

"Just like when your grandparents passed away, the burial now is only temporary. The coffin will have to be opened and reburied after a few years. For men, it's an even number, which is about eight years, and for women, it's an odd number, which is about seven years. When the time is up, the body has turned to bones, so the relatives need to reopen the coffin, pick up the bones, place them in a urn and rebury them. This is called picking up bones. After the burial, it is a permanent burial, and a tombstone can be engraved. Most places in Lingnan have the custom of picking up bones." Zhou Jinyu said slowly.

Sun Manting opened her mouth in shock: "No wonder when I went to visit my grandparents' grave, there was only a pile of dirt, not even a tombstone. So this is what it was like! Those tombstones that have been erected and cemented have already been filled with bones, right?"

"Yes," Zhou Jinfang nodded.

"Ah - then you and your aunt will also go to pick up bones for grandpa and grandma?"

"Of course, is there any need to say that?" Zhou Jinfang looked at her strangely.

"So, are you scared?"

"Why are you scared? They are our parents." Zhou Jinyu smiled: "There is nothing to be afraid of, they are our parents."

Even if there are spirits after death, they will only protect us and not harm us.

Thinking of his parents, Zhou Jinyu's eyes became moist.

The rulers and ministers of the northern part of the Central Plains in various dynasties were all shocked: What? Picking up bones? This was something that had never been heard of before!

How could such a thing happen?

Picking up bones! It sounds scary!

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, then he sighed: The world is really big!

"Are Miss Zhou and the others not Han people? Otherwise, how could they have such strange customs?" Liu Bang frowned.

"He is a Han Chinese. The ID card that Miss Zhou took out earlier showed that he was Han Chinese," said Zhang Liang.

"Then have they been assimilated by the original ethnic groups in Lingnan?" Liu Bang still couldn't believe it.

"Who knows?"

The emperor and his ministers were discussing this matter, saying that this custom was horrible!

Li Shimin's face was indescribable: Picking up bones...

It really is the Land of Exile...

The Ming and Qing dynasties also grimaced: It really is a barbaric place of exile!

After calming down, Zhou Jinyu and the others continued to move forward.

"The construction of the Thirteen Tombs began with the construction of Zhu Di's Changling Mausoleum and ended with the construction of Siling Mausoleum in the early years of the Shunzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty. The construction period lasted for more than 200 years."

"Why did Shunzhi help the Ming Dynasty emperor build a tomb?" Sun Manting was puzzled.

Why? Because they wanted to win people's hearts! The astute Zhu Yuanzhang immediately thought of the key point.

Zhu Di sneered: Why? Of course, it is for my own country to be legitimate and stable! To be recognized by scholars and the people!

Also, do you all call your ancestors by their names? Calling them Chengzu, bah! I am not Chengzu, I am Taizong! Will I die if I call you Taizong? At worst, calling you Xianhuang will do!

Unworthy descendants! You keep yelling "Zhu Di Zhu Di" all day long!

"The Qing Dynasty was a period when ethnic groups from outside the Great Wall came to rule the Central Plains. In order to gain recognition from the people of the world and win over their hearts, Emperor Shunzhi even re-held funeral ceremonies for Emperor Chongzhen and expanded the cemetery regulations," said Zhou Jinyu.

Sun Manting nodded.

"And it was not just Shunzhi who worshipped the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum. Kangxi and Qianlong also worshipped the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum."

Zhu Yuanzhang’s face twisted instantly: I want you to worship me!

Zhu Di was also like eating a fly: I don’t want your worship!

Kangxi spread his hands: How can we not worship? Those who were not sincere in their submission are even more rebellious. And no matter if it is a simple worship, they still have to bow three times and kowtow nine times!

Just by bowing, people who were loyal to the previous dynasty can be made loyal to the Qing Dynasty. Why not do it?

Without bloodshed, people from far and near came to surrender.

"Okay, let's get off topic. Let's continue with the Ming Tombs." Zhou Jinyu cleared his throat: "There are 13 emperors' tombs, 7 concubines' tombs and one eunuch's tomb in the Ming Tombs."

"Aren't there a total of 16 emperors in the Ming Dynasty?" Zhou Jinfang asked.

"That's right. When Zhu Yuanzhang was alive, he established his capital in Yingtian Prefecture, so his mausoleum is in the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum in Yingtian, not here. Another one is Zhu Yunwen, whose whereabouts are unknown, so no one knows where he died. The last one is Zhu Qiyu, and this Zhu Qiyu is very interesting." Zhou Jinyu was very interested.

But Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di both shuddered, this was definitely not a good thing!

"In the beginning, Zhu Qizhen was the first emperor. But who would have thought that he would lead an expedition against the Oirat Mongols in person, and end up being captured by the Oirat Mongols. The Oirat Mongols decided to take him to the Ming Dynasty to extort some gold, silver, jewelry, grain, silk and so on. Listen! Does this plot sound familiar to you?" Zhou Jinyu said with a smile.

Zhao Kuangyin, who was very familiar with this plot: …

Thinking of the Song Dynasty's Jingkang Disaster, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, father and son: ...

Damn! This thing can't be the same as Zhao Ji!

All dynasties except the Qing Dynasty: Oh no, another big gift?

"Hurry up and tell me!" Sun Manting urged.

“But they didn’t expect that the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty would be replaced by a new emperor, Zhu Qiyu.

Later, Yu Qian, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, negotiated with the Oirat Mongols, and the Oirat Mongols sent the useless Zhu Qizhen back.

But Zhu Qiyu, who had already become the emperor, was naturally unhappy. So, you want to throw it away after using it? There’s no door, there’s no window!

He then deposed Zhu Qizhen's son, made his own son the crown prince, and imprisoned Zhu Qizhen in the Nan Palace.

However, he did not expect that when he was sick, General Shitou Heng and eunuch Cao Jixiang joined forces with Empress Dowager Sun to plan a coup.

Zhu Qizhen sat on the throne again, and not long after, Zhu Qiuyu died.

After his death, Zhu Qizhen did not bury him with the emperor's rites, nor did he bury him with the emperors of previous dynasties. Instead, he buried him in the West Hill of the capital according to the specifications of a prince. "

The various dynasties rolled their eyes, it was just an ordinary coup!

The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned cold: those two useless descendants were nothing but pawns of those powerful officials fighting for power!

Zhu Di gritted his teeth and spat out three words: "Coward!"
