The Ming Tombs was also a place we wanted to go, so the next morning, after dinner, we went to the scenic area of ??the Ming Tombs. ¦æ
Wang Haiming has never been there, so he is quite interested. The person present, probably Li Na, has been here before.
For Li Na who grew up in Beijing, she has probably visited all the tourist attractions in the capital. Because it is quite far from the city, it was quite early for everyone to set off in the morning.
"Brother Haiming, we have all heard of the Ming Tombs, but why are they called the Ming Tombs? It's not the Fourteenth Tombs. You are from the Fifteen Tombs. You are well educated and have nothing to do in the car now. Just tell everyone.¡± Li Yong looked at the travel guide in his hand and asked curiously.
"That's right, Brother Haiming, tell me."
"Yes, Hai Ming, we don't understand."
"Okay, then I'll tell you."
Wang Haiming immediately started talking: "Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, established his capital in Nanjing. After his death, he was buried in Zhongshan Mountain, Nanjing, which is called the "Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum". The second emperor Zhu Yunwen (Emperor Jianwen) was named "Jingnan" because of his uncle Zhu Di. "(Relieving the emperor from danger) In order to save the emperor, he sent troops to Nanjing. Emperor Jianwen did not know where he ended up. Some people said that he had become a monk, but his whereabouts were unknown (this was an unsolved case in the history of the Ming Dynasty), so there was no mausoleum. The seventh emperor Zhu Qiyu, because his brother Emperor Yingzong, Zhu Qizhen, was captured by Wala and had no owner in the palace, he ascended the throne at the behest of the Queen Mother and ministers. After Yingzong was released, he launched a "seizure" under the planning of his close associates. "The Gate Change", the Yingzong was restored and the emperor became emperor again. Zhu Qiyu was killed, and the Yingzong did not recognize him as the emperor and destroyed the mausoleum he built in the Tianshou Mountain area."
"And he was buried in Yuquan Mountain in the western suburbs of Beijing as a "king". In this way, two of the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty were buried elsewhere. One is missing, and the other thirteen are buried in Tianshou Mountain, so they are called " Ming Tombs".
Although Wang Haiming said it very clearly, everyone still listened in a confused way. Of the emperors in the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid everyone knows only Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor, and others. Do not know at all.
As we were talking, the car had already arrived. Everyone was no longer interested in listening to what Wang Haiming said, so they got out of the car one after another to have a look and confirm it.
"These guys are just wasting my tongue and my saliva. They talked for a long time and their mouths were dry. Now, they all ran away." Wang Haiming pretended to be angry and said, but in fact he also knew that most of the people couldn't understand what he said, and they didn't know who was who.
"Okay, let's go, you breathe into the air"! Li Na covered her mouth and snickered. I pulled Wang Haiming out of the car quickly, but the driver was still waiting to leave.
Atmosphere. This was Wang Haiming's first feeling. The royal mausoleums are just different. Each one covers an area of ??more than 100,000 square meters. There are thirteen of them. You can imagine how big they are.
As a suburb, the air here is still very good. Wang Haiming felt that breathing was much easier than in the city. It¡¯s still the same old rules, everyone can play casually and go see the places they like, provided of course. The distance cannot be too far, and the mobile phone must be unobstructed.
For a time, everyone was in groups of three, five, and four or six, either watching, taking photos, or talking about something.
"Nana, what are you doing?" Wang Haiming saw Li Na staring blankly at a broken wall, a little confused.
"It's nothing, just a little sad. All the good things have been destroyed. It's a pity." Li Na said quietly that most of the Ming Tombs had been damaged. Although there were natural reasons, there were more man-made reasons, such as the destruction by warlords in the late Ming Dynasty and the erosion by foreign powers.
"Okay, let's go see other places, don't be sad." Wang Haiming pulled Li Na and walked to the side. Yesterday, I felt a little sad because of the Old Summer Palace. Now I have to pay attention. I came here to relax and relax, not to be sentimental.
In fact, Wang Haiming made a mistake. If you don¡¯t want to feel sad, don¡¯t come to places with ancient buildings. It would be good to go to the Great Wall and Fragrant Mountain.
"Hey, Brother Haiming, you came at the right time. You can judge and see which of us is right." Wang Haiming had just changed places when Li Yong pulled Wang Ergou over. Looking at the red-faced one with a thick neck, he must have been quarreling for a while.
"What is it that is worth fighting for like this? Li Yong, you say it first." Wang Haiming thought to himself, you two are just full and have nothing to do.
"Oh, Brother Haiming, tell me, aren't the emperors buried in these Ming Tombs? Uncle Ergou, he said that this tomb belonged to a eunuch, so we started arguing. Brother Haiming, look at it. Who is right?"
"Well, let me take a look. Yes, this is indeed Wang Chengen's tomb. He was indeed a eunuch who appeared as a companion to the mausoleum." Wang Haiming explained,There were eunuchs accompanying the mausoleum, and more of them were the tombs of the queen and concubines.
"Well, then, Brother Haiming, who is Wang Chengen? A eunuch can also build a tomb." Li Yong said doubtfully, feeling unconvinced.
Wang Chengen, the personal eunuch of the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was a courteous and courteous eunuch.
On the morning of March 19, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644), Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian, accompanied by the eunuch Wang Chengen, climbed Meishan (Jingshan) and hanged himself from a crooked old locust tree near the Shouhuang Pavilion on the mountainside. Wang Chengen also hung himself from the crabapple tree next to him. Chengen was later praised by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, and a monument and biography of Wang Chengen were erected near Siling. When a dynasty is about to fall and hundreds of thousands of people are "disarmed", they can protect the monarch and not be afraid of powerful enemies. This shows a strong character of loyalty. So his death was full of tragic meaning.
Wang Haiming said it carefully, and then Li Yong and Wang Ergou understood.
¡°This Wang Chengen is really loyal and admirable.¡± Li Yong sighed and said that although he lost the argument, he was not disappointed at all and only had a look of admiration on his face.
"Haha, that's right. Although Wang Cheng'en is an eunuch, he hasn't ruined the reputation of our surname Wang." Wang Ergou said proudly, this Wang Chengen is also a member of the Wang clan.
"Humph, come on." Li Yong snorted and ran somewhere else. Wang Haiming also couldn't laugh or cry. This Ergou Shu can also be connected with each other. It's amazing.
Although the Han and Tang Dynasties were prosperous, Wang Haiming admired the Ming Dynasty very much. The emperor guards the gates of the country, and the king guards the country. During the Ming Dynasty, there was no marriage and no fear of nomadic power. Even if it declined in the later period, it still had its strong character, unlike the later Qing Dynasty, which lost money in various places and humiliated the country by losing power.
Wang Haiming thought that if he could time travel, he must change the situation of the Ming Dynasty, revitalize China, and no longer follow the old path. Unfortunately, this means that if you think about it, time travel, as seen in novels and TV series, is impossible in reality.
We finally came to the capital once, so Wang Haiming stayed a few more days and tried his best to let everyone have a good time. After all, Wang Haiming did not plan to come back in the future. There were many things in the capital, so it was not as comfortable as a place.
If Wang Haiming doesn¡¯t come, I¡¯m afraid everyone won¡¯t come again. After playing for a week, Wang Haiming announced that he was going home.
There were more than twenty people in total, just enough for a bus. So when he went back, Wang Haiming decided not to take the train and chartered a bus instead.
There are quite a few night markets in the capital. The things are cheap but novel and fashionable. In the evening, everyone goes to the night markets and buys a lot of things, which are all gifts for their families.
Wang Haiming knew this would happen a long time ago. On the day he came to the capital, he mailed everyone's gifts home, except for two pieces of replacement clothes.
But now while pedaling, Wang Haiming realized that he had misjudged everyone. Everyone packed it in big and small packages, even Li Na was no exception, saying it was a gift for her mother and younger siblings.
Wang Haiming was helpless. He bought everything and couldn¡¯t return it anyway, so he finally stuffed it in. Isn¡¯t it scary that one person has so much stuff? What¡¯s scary is that there are more than 20 people, all with big and small bags. After being away from home for several months, everyone seemed very excited to go back.
?Compared to before, everyone now looks more mature and confident. Wang Haiming lamented that it was true that in his hometown, he stayed in a village all day and had too little experience.
" Compared with the past, Li Yong and the others have changed so much that it is unimaginable, but it is also within Wang Haiming's expectation. However, I'm afraid this change will be revealed after I return home.
"Well, these people can be of great use after they return home"! Wang Haiming looked at the cheerful people, thoughtfully. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
