After broadcasting the ancient times live, I handed the system over to the state.

"The imperial tombs of the Ming and Qing dynasties appear to be located near the capital, but in fact, the imperial tombs of the Ming dynasty are located near the capital."

"Zhu Yuanzhang's Xiaoling Mausoleum is in Nanjing, while Zhu Di's Thirteen Tombs were built at Tianshou Mountain in Beijing. Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di's imperial tombs have some distinctive features. First of all, an imperial tomb must have good feng shui, right?"

"But their mausoleums not only need to have good feng shui, but also need to be able to serve as military bases so that they can protect the capital in case of war. You can find this out by studying the Zijin Mountain where the Xiaoling Mausoleum is located and the Tianshou Mountain where the Ming Tombs are located."

"In a relatively densely populated area, you can hear a firecracker going off."

"However, the Qing Dynasty's imperial tombs are all in desolate wilderness. The Eastern Qing Tombs are in Zunhua, and the Western Qing Tombs are in Baoding. Empress Dowager Cixi even built a railway to make it easier for her to visit the tombs, so no one heard Sun Dianying use explosives to blow them up."

"Another difference is the historical status of the two dynasties. The Ming Dynasty was always the legitimate successor of the Chinese nation, but the Manchus have always been regarded as a foreign race. Even though the Qing Dynasty replaced the Ming Dynasty, the pretext was that it had taken back the country from Li Zicheng and avenged the Ming Dynasty."

Under the canopy, the Ming Dynasty emperors were so disgusted they couldn't speak.

Why would the Ming Dynasty need the Qing Dynasty's help to avenge itself?

Who is Li Zicheng?

Was the fall of the Ming Dynasty due to Li Zicheng? And then those bastards came?

And then there's this Li Zicheng thing... Chongzhen quickly wrote down this person's name, and from now on, kill all those named Li Zicheng. Wild boar skin runs fast, and is already outside the Great Wall. If Chongzhen can't kill him, surely he can kill this Li Zicheng?

But even Emperor Chongzhen failed to grasp the true cause of the Ming Dynasty's demise. Even without Li Zicheng, there were still Chen Zicheng and Wang Zicheng...

"Since it was done under such a pretext, the Qing Dynasty would definitely protect the Ming Dynasty's imperial tombs. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty would even go to worship at Zhu Yuanzhang's Xiaoling Mausoleum."

"After the Qing Dynasty, any organization that opposed the Qing Dynasty was led by the slogan of avenging the Ming Dynasty. For example, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Hong Xiuquan went to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum as soon as he arrived in Nanjing."

"After the Xinhai Revolution, Sun Yat-sen also went to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum to pay homage to Zhu Yuanzhang and also gave the Qing Dynasty a good scolding."

"So by the time of the Republic of China, the Ming Dynasty imperial tombs were well protected, while the Qing Dynasty imperial tombs were like free parks where anyone could enter and take anything with them."

The Qing emperors under the canopy were so angry that they lost their breath, and some even began to curse.

Emperor Kangxi felt a sense of unease, as he had taken good care of the Ming Dynasty's imperial tombs but failed to take good care of the Qing Dynasty's. Centuries later, these people were still using the excuse of "opposing the Qing and restoring the Ming."

He looked at his grown sons and let out a meaningless laugh.

The princes all shrank back, knowing full well that the old man had the idea of ​​sending one of them to guard the imperial tombs.

But if you were to guard the imperial tombs, you would truly be forever barred from the throne!

So none of them dared to make a sound.

Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a slight sigh of relief. He would never admit that these wild boar hides were made so well. If we wanted to change into Han Chinese clothing, did we have to kill people instead?

It's only right that these wild boar hides are used to repair the imperial tombs of the Zhu family.

The fact that the imperial tombs of the Qing Dynasty were excavated is surely enough to show that the people's hearts are no longer pure and that the Mandate of Heaven is no longer pure.

Centuries later, no one will fail to miss our Great Ming Dynasty!

It was enough to make Zhu Yuanzhang proud, it's just a pity that his descendants were incompetent!

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression darkened as he thought of this.

Zhu Qinggu continued, "Back then, warlords, bandits, farmers, and even shepherds could come and go as they pleased, and they would even take something with them."

"The tombs of Emperor Qianlong and Empress Dowager Cixi were dug up by warlords. The tombs of Emperor Xianfeng and Emperor Tongzhi were taken down by a dozen villagers overnight. Emperor Kangxi's tomb was also opened by bandits who smashed and blasted it open. The door to the underground palace was never closed, and they would go in and wander around every few days."

"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Eastern Tombs Management Office was established, and the tombs of Emperor Qianlong and Empress Dowager Cixi were cleaned up and their remains were relocated."

"According to the descendants of the Manchus who collected Qianlong's remains, the underground palace was a terrible sight. Only five skulls and broken bones were found. Later, Qianlong's remains were not fully recovered."

"It is said that Qianlong's skull was found under the broken stone gate, and it was crushed into a mess. I don't know if that's true."

"Kangxi's tomb was flooded, and due to technological limitations, it could not be cleaned. The door to the underground palace was closed, and to this day, Kangxi is still submerged in water."

[Kangxi: Glug glug glug glug!]

[Who said Kangxi had four water dots below his head? Doesn't that look like he's being soaked in water?]

[This is easy to understand. Excavating Ming Dynasty imperial tombs is like digging up one's ancestors, but excavating Qing Dynasty imperial tombs is none of my business; I just dig them up.]

[Emperor Kangxi is still soaking in it!]

[The Qianlong Emperor's underground palace isn't in much better condition either; it's also leaking.]

[I strongly suspect that Emperor Yongzheng followed the Zhaomu system (a system of ancestral worship) because he knew that Emperor Kangxi's underground palace was leaking.]

What is the Zhaomu system?

[In the Manchu Qing dynasty, sons were buried with their fathers, and the Zhaomu system (a system based on the Zhou dynasty's rites) meant grandsons were buried with their grandfathers… Actually, I suspect that Emperor Yongzheng didn't want to hear his grandfather's nagging in the afterlife, so he moved the body.]

[So Jiaqing didn't want to listen to Qianlong's ramblings, right? Haha, he was just afraid Qianlong would turn around and scold him for having given birth to Emperor Gaozong.]

[After Zhao Gou used him, no one else used Gaozong. Zhao Gou, like Qianlong, lived a long life, and even after becoming the retired emperor, he still bossed people around, secretly undermining Qianlong.]

Upon hearing that he was still submerged in water in the future and that his mausoleum had been blown open, Kangxi's vision went black, his already flushed face went completely silent, and he collapsed.

Emperor Qianlong fared no better; his face turned ashen as he roared, "How dare you!" before his vision went black.

Although he didn't like these barbarian tribes ruling the Central Plains, they were still emperors, and emperors should have the dignity that emperors should have. Ying Zheng felt a little sympathy for these Qing Dynasty emperors.

Previously, I had heard that the Han Dynasty emperors, whose tombs were mostly empty, had not yet been included in the inventory of tombs, so I naturally did not hold back my sympathy. I can still laugh and feel a little relaxed now, but I may not be able to in the future.

"Tsk tsk tsk, these Manchus..." Zhao Kuangyin wanted to laugh but also didn't want to.

I wanted to laugh because I knew how the Jurchens later humiliated the Song Dynasty, and these Manchus were also barbarians. Their graves were desecrated, so why shouldn't I be overjoyed?

I don't want to laugh because I don't know what my Song Dynasty imperial tombs are like. After all, Emperors Huizong and Qinzong were really useless. I hope they won't cause the Zhao family's ancestral graves to be dug up as well.

Thinking about this, Zhao Kuangyin's mind became increasingly strange and twisted.
