"Next, we also have to talk about an exceptionally crowded imperial tomb."

Zhu Qinggu took out a piece of chalk and wrote the number 'two' on the blackboard. Just as everyone was getting anxious, she stopped.

This has caused some anxiety among those living under the canopy.

"Oh dear, how could Miss Zhu happen to be stuck here?" Zhu Houzhao slapped his thigh, then hesitated. "This crowding... could it be that you mean...?"

Just as he had thought, Zhu Qinggu was referring to... Xiaoling Mausoleum!

"What we are going to talk about is the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, the mausoleum of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

"Why is this place so crowded? Because not only did one King of Wu live here, but another King of Wu also lived here."

Cao Cao was still pondering over the sky if there were any other ways to prevent theft. He was also very curious about how the Yuan Dynasty people managed to do it. Miss Zhu had just mentioned that she would be taking stock of some Yuan Dynasty tombs.

Cao Cao wanted to take a closer look; he didn't want to hear any more of those strange rumors that the tomb contained Cao Cao and his childhood memories.

Liu Bei wasn't too concerned about such things; he was more concerned about what happened during his lifetime.

If something couldn't be accomplished in life, can it be completed in the afterlife?

The great Han dynasty has not yet been established, and the great cause is yet to be accomplished!

Even if later generations desecrate his tomb, if his great cause has been restored, Liu Bei can rest assured and go to see his ancestors. He is not afraid of how future generations may judge him.

If the great cause fails, then digging it up is fine; at least something will be passed down.

If Heaven does not grant it, it will perish.

Looking at the sky now, Liu Bei knew that in the end, his imperial ambitions would not be realized and the Han Dynasty would not rise.

However, it's not like there's no way out. Now that the sky has appeared, it means that everything can be changed. Even Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng talked with his ancestor Liu Bang and spoke with Emperor Wu. What else is impossible?

There have been many kings of Wu throughout history, including King Fuchai of Wu. Perhaps there will be many more kings of Wu in later generations. If I were to be enfeoffed, I would likely be king of Wu as well, and then…

Sun Quan naturally thought about the consequences as well.

Isn't he just like the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty in later generations?

Sun Quan felt a bit cold, but he never thought about his own situation.

Xiaoling Mausoleum... Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't planned that far ahead yet; he only learned it was his future mausoleum when he heard about it.

Zhu Qinggu said it was crowded, but does any bastard dare to touch the land here?

Thinking of this, Old Zhu's murderous intent rose.

"Speaking of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, everyone knows who lives here, but many people don't know that Sun Quan, the great emperor of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, also lies here." Zhu Qinggu smiled and showed several pictures.

The area above has been significantly reduced, with only the statue standing there.

Sun Quan, who was about to drink water, choked immediately, and a chill ran down his spine.

"This is my mausoleum..." Sun Quan, who was no longer even the King of Wu, had already started using the title "I" (朕). The strategist sitting below was still there, so he immediately shut up, quickly concealing the ecstatic expression on his face and returning to his calm and composed demeanor.

It seems like the "朕" (zhen, meaning "I" or "the emperor") I just used really was a slip of the tongue.

But the strategists and generals below, with their eyes closed and minds focused, were well aware of the emperor's other thoughts.

The title of "Great Emperor of Eastern Wu" pleased Sun Quan, but he felt a little uneasy when he saw that there seemed to be no mound of earth on the ground of his mausoleum.

That damned emperor from later generations, Zhu Yuanzhang, could he have dug up his tomb?

Thinking of the tragic state of the tombs of those Qing Dynasty emperors—some exhumed and mutilated, some still submerged in water, and others intertwined—Sun Quan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and his earlier interest in watching the spectacle vanished completely.

In this kind of situation, whoever suffers the consequences, suffers the consequences; if it doesn't happen to anyone, it's just a matter of who's unlucky and who gets to have fun.

Li Hui felt relieved. The last time Zhu Qinggu took stock, he almost lost all hope. He thought about how his grave would be dug up in the future, and he didn't even dare to die, fearing that he would be dug up again. It was Liu Ci of the Han Dynasty who reminded him that it's better to share happiness than to enjoy it alone.

Li Hui is now looking at the sky with a big smile, happier than anyone else. He even has a twisted thought: since he's already been dug out, everyone should come down and keep him company, hahaha!

First it was that old witch Empress Dowager Cixi, then the Qing Dynasty emperors, and now it's the Ming Dynasty, and Sun Quan!

Li Hui was so happy that he ran wildly in the courtyard.

His son's eyes widened. "Father, has Father gone mad?"

"Nonsense, you're the one who's crazy! Father is happy, sharing happiness is worse than keeping it to himself! It feels so good!" Li Hui had finally gotten rid of the anger he had been holding back, and he looked at the sky with even more joy. He was determined to send a message thanking Liu Ci in the comments later!

There aren't many Wu kings in that Nanjing area, so others immediately guessed it was Sun Quan's tomb.

"Why is there another tomb within the Ming Dynasty imperial mausoleum? Why are emperors from more than a thousand years apart buried together?" Only then did Zhu Qinggu pick up the chalk and continue writing on the blackboard—'Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum & Jiangling Mausoleum'.

"Here's what happened: In 1381 AD, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had already secured his throne, began to consider whether to build his own mausoleum. After extensive exploration, he finally chose a propitious location, which was Zijin Mountain in Nanjing."

"However, Li Xin, who was in charge of building the mausoleum, later discovered that there was an ancient tomb in the area of ​​the spirit path that should have been built in the mausoleum. After verification, the tomb owner was found to be Sun Quan."

"If the tomb owner is Sun Quan, then things become a bit complicated."

"Although Zhu Yuanzhang had secured his rule at that time, the Ming Dynasty did not last long. Sun Quan was generally well-regarded by scholars, but Zhu Yuanzhang was not well-regarded by them. Many people were waiting for him to make a mistake and wanted to disrupt the situation."

"Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang did not demolish or move Sun Quan's tomb. According to folk legend, Zhu Yuanzhang once said, 'Sun Quan is also a good man, so let him stay to guard the gate for me.'"

Sun Quan initially thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was quite courteous, since he hadn't demolished or relocated his tomb. But now…

Folk legends...

Sun Quan's face flushed instantly, and he gripped the cup in his hand tightly!

Previously, when people said I was a coward from Jiangdong, or that Cao Cao and Liu Bei had a son named Sun Zhongmou, or that Sun Quan sent 100,000 men to Hefei to offer up their heads, Sun Quan could just laugh it off.

Now you, a later emperor, dare to use me as a gatekeeper for your tomb?!

Damn it! ! !

Even if it's just a folk legend, Sun Quan was extremely unhappy that he had to share a mausoleum with another emperor, and that it was because of some kind of charity!

Zhu Yuanzhang!!!

I can't kill you, but I can't kill your ancestors either?

Even after more than a thousand years, Sun Quan still couldn't find where Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestors were.
