Cixi and Guangxu dared not provoke this ancestral grave in Qing Dynasty, so they had to avoid it when building railways.
In recent days, the tomb-robbing-themed angry sunny west Hunan was a mess. In fact, before this online drama started, novels and film and television dramas with tomb-robbing themes were very popular, especially in film and television dramas. Under the ups and downs of the plot, those dangerous protagonists looked very fierce, which gradually attracted many people's thirst for knowledge about ancient tombs. All kinds of historical treasures have been buried in these tombs. I don't know if you remember that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi had been clamoring for a railway to be built. In the original plan, it was necessary to pass through a tomb of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi also specifically asked to avoid this tomb.
This tomb is called Cao Tomb, which was built by a family named Cao. Now this tomb is still kept in Tianjin. At that time, this tomb was sandwiched between two villages and occupied a large area. Otherwise, the original planned design drawings would not be changed because of this tomb. It is rumored that it covers an area of more than 1, mu.
During the Ming Dynasty, the Cao family decided to move the original tomb after a meeting of all the people. In order to find a better tomb, they also asked Mr. Feng Shui to look at the most suitable location, and then spent a lot of money to buy the land. It took more than a year to build the tomb, so they found a good day to invite all their ancestors in.
People may think that Cao's family must be a high-ranking official, otherwise they would get such a big face, but this is not the case. At that time, they were really officials at the court, but they were not big officials, just some small official positions. It was just that their ancestors had a good relationship with Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. When Emperor Kangxi visited the local area, he named to live in Cao's family. At that time, their family was really powerful in the court, and the descendants of Cao's family were also taken care of.
These are not the greatest favors. The greatest reward is that Kangxi personally wrote a plaque for the Cao family as the Cao family's nursing home. With this plaque, it explains why the Qing Dynasty did not dare to touch their home easily even if there were no famous people in the court.
In Guangxu period, * * * wanted to build a railway from Beijing to Shanhaiguan, which passed through Tianjin. Although it was only over 4 kilometers, it happened to pass through the ancestral grave of the Cao family. If ordinary people didn't need to report it to the servants, they just ordered it to be demolished, but the Cao family was different and could only report it. The Cao family was also trying to find a way. After all, they didn't want to disturb their ancestors any more, so they had to.
