Why does the tomb of the corrupt official Heshen have 99 bays? What's the mystery behind it?

You must know that Heshen’s mausoleum has 99 bays, mainly because Heshen’s ambitions were very great, and it was because Heshen built the mausoleum in advance that he completely aroused public outrage and was caught by Emperor Jiaqing. . You must know that He Shen was just an official of the Qing Dynasty at that time. At that time, the law of the Qing Dynasty stipulated that only monarchs and royal figures could build their own tombs in advance.

At that time, Heshen had already sent people to build his own mausoleum before he died, and he also built his mausoleum very luxuriously. He Shen was Emperor Qianlong's favorite minister at the time, and during Emperor Qianlong's reign, He Shen was given very great power. It can be said that Heshen's status in the court was very high at that time. By the late Qianlong period, the throne had actually been passed on to Emperor Jiaqing, and he himself began to plan to abdicate to retire.

You must know that in the later years of Emperor Qianlong, which was also the most prosperous time in Heshen's life, he saw that Emperor Qianlong's tomb was very luxurious, so he also wanted to build his own tomb very luxuriously. . So at that time, he specially ordered a Feng Shui master to choose a treasure land with very good Feng Shui as the construction site for his cemetery. Once He Shen passed by Jizhou City when he went to inspect the Qing Dong Tomb. The Feng Shui here is very good. After looking at the Feng Shui, the master thought it was more suitable for building a mausoleum, so He Shen decided to build his own cemetery here.

In the process of building the cemetery, He Shen could be said to have followed the advice of the Feng Shui master. At that time, the Feng Shui master told Heshen that the moat of Heshen's mausoleum must have 100 turns to protect the future generations of China's wealth. So he sent craftsmen to build it according to the instructions of the Feng Shui master. But when the construction was about to be completed, these craftsmen discovered some sand. You must know that when building a mausoleum, the discovery of dust itself is a bad phenomenon. When Heshen found out about it, he strictly prohibited the craftsmen at that time from spreading the news and stopped building the tomb. In the end, Emperor Jiaqing found out about this incident. Emperor Jiaqing had actually always wanted to get rid of Heshen, but he could never find a handle on Heshen, so he used this incident as a reason to kill Heshen.
