The ancestral grave of Chongzhen was dug.
This happened in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen (164 1). At that time, Li Zicheng was in full swing. No sooner had he conquered Luoyang than he killed Zhu, the son of Emperor Wanli. The army has grown to tens of thousands of people, and people everywhere sing "welcome the king, don't accept food." However, the Ming and Zhu dynasties were tottering, and there was nothing they could do about this peasant uprising.
Li Zicheng
But it is no wonder that Emperor Chongzhen hit Li Zicheng. In fact, Li Zicheng dug the ancestral grave of Daming Zhujiajian Island Island.
It was in the eighth year of Chongzhen (1635) that the 13th and 72nd battalions of the world's uprising army gathered in Xingyang, Henan Province to discuss major plans, including Zhang, Lao Hui, She, Luo Rucai, Ge Liyan, Zuo, King of the Earth, Heng Tianwang, Guo Tianxing, Shun Tianwang and Nine Dragons. At that time, Li Zicheng was the Ministry of Gao Yingxiang. He rose to fame at the meeting and put forward the strategy of "dividing troops and attacking from all sides", which was unanimously endorsed by heroes from all walks of life.
After the meeting, Li Zicheng led his troops to attack Zhili (now Fengyang County, Bengbu City, Anhui Province). Fengyang is the place where Zhu Yuanzhang was born and raised. After Zhu Yuanzhang laid the foundation stone, Fengyang was designated as the capital, and its political importance was self-evident to the Ming Dynasty.
Fengyang
After Li Zicheng captured Fengyang, he dug up the ancestral graves of the Ming royal family and set fire to the "Huang Jue Temple" where Zhu Yuanzhang became a monk. The eunuchs inside were all killed, and the commander-in-chief Zhu Guoxiang was also killed. This war shook the world, which was a great shame for the Ming Dynasty, and its symbolic significance naturally caused great mental pressure on Emperor Chongzhen.
So in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen (164 1), Emperor Chongzhen put forward a plan, which was to dig up Li Zicheng's ancestral grave. Emperor Chongzhen also hoped that this move would reverse Gan Kun and kill Li Zicheng.
It's just that Li Zicheng's ancestral home is in Mizhi, Shaanxi, and the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. At this time, the world was in chaos, and Emperor Chongzhen was beyond his reach. To do this, someone must do it at the local level. At that time, the governor of Shaanxi was Wang Qiaonian, so he naturally arranged and carried out this task. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen gave Wang Qiaonian a secret order to dig Li Zicheng's ancestral grave to vent the king's anger. As a frontier province of Wang Qiaonian, smart people don't have to do it themselves, but arrange the task to Mizhi County. Only at that time, Shaanxi was also a land of mutinous soldiers, and the decree was unreasonable. How to pass on the task, then whether Mizhi county magistrate is obedient is a thorny issue.
Rice fat
The name of Mi County is Bian. Although she is a petty official, she is not a glutton. One day, while he was sitting in the hall, a farmer suddenly came outside and told the officials that his garlic had been taken away by the officers and men. Bian Wan asked him to tell the story in detail, but the farmer knelt down and climbed on his feet, secretly pressing Bian Wan's feet twice while telling the story. Big ribbon was startled and was about to ask questions. Suddenly, he saw that the man was pale, and his appearance was definitely not a farmer. After a change of mind, he knew that something was wrong, so he took the man into the cellar to talk under the pretext of retreating.
After entering the inner hall, someone took off his hat and took out a letter and a secret telegram from the interlayer of the hat. This man turned out to be a eunuch in the palace, busy listening to the decree to understand his purpose. This letter was written by Wang Qiaonian, the governor of Shaanxi Province, asking him to carry out the tasks in the secret order. I think this eunuch is a character. He is alone in this dangerous place, conveying this important message, but he has been submerged in the dust of history, and no one knows who he is. Emperor Chongzhen, as the king of a country, wanted to convey his will through this shady way, which also reflected the tragic situation of the decline of his imperial power.
When Bian Dashou received the secret news, he knew it was a hot potato. Although he was a humble official in the Ming Dynasty, he was paid by the Emperor. His job is to do things for the son of heaven, but it is a very interesting and serious thing. Li Can, the king of Zicheng, how can he offend casually? Now he is in full swing. Besides, this is his hometown. He really dug his ancestral grave, and one day he will be beheaded by Li Zicheng. Besides, this ancestral grave in Li Zicheng is not so easy to find, just where it is, no one knows, and it is not good to ask around. Once the news leaks, the consequences are unimaginable, and even if you want to dig, there is nowhere to start. There is a great anxiety here, and there is no good way to solve this dilemma.
There is a man named Jia Huan who works for Da Ai here. He is a clever man. Jia Huan saw that Shangguan seemed to have something on his mind, and his face looked worried. He asked what Bian was doing, and Bian told him. Jia Huan immediately took it to heart and said with a smile, it's not difficult. Hearing this, he was overjoyed and asked for details.
It turns out that this ancestral grave of Li Zicheng is not a tomb, and I don't know which ravine it is in. However, in the ninth year of Chongzhen (1636), Li Zicheng once led a group of his subordinates back to his hometown of Mizhi, Shaanxi, to pay homage to their ancestors. So there must be someone close to the Li family in Mizhi County who knows the location of this ancestral grave, and there is just such a person in their county government. Jia Huan told Bian Dashou the details of this man and told him to stick to the plan.
So Bian Dashou called Zhang Zixiang, the arresting officer in my office. This Zhang Zixiang is a nobody among the captors, but he actually has another identity.
When Jia Huan saw him, he first looked at him with an air of affectation, and then asked sharply, "Your surname is Li, why did you tell us your surname is Zhang?" Zhang Zixiang was surprised and was considering how to answer. Jia Huan added: We have found out your identity. You are Li Zicheng's brother. You become sworn brothers with other police officers, and you are going to join Li Zicheng when he comes. Do you know the crime?
Zhang Zixiang thought his life was in danger, so he quickly knelt down and begged for forgiveness. Unexpectedly, Bian Da laughed and lifted Zhang Zixiang up, saying that Daming was out of luck, and this world is bound to be a king. I have to rely on you to take care of it in the future! Jia Huan also smiled, just saying that it was just to confirm his identity. Zhang Zixiang was scared out in a cold sweat. How could he have thought of such a reversal? At this time, Bian Dashou proposed that the three men become sworn brothers and have a care in the future. Zhang Zixiang was overjoyed. I didn't expect to be brothers with the magistrate. How can I not allow it? Where did he know that Bian Dashou and Jia Huan got along, just to inquire about the location of Li Jiazu's grave.
Since then, Bian Dashou, Jia Huan and Zhang Zixiang have been drinking and having fun every day, just like brothers. After everyone got to know each other, one day, while drunk, Bian Dazhao praised the Li family's grave as a treasure trove of geomantic omen, so a great man like King Chuang appeared. Zhang Zixiang gloated, boasted, and leaked the location of Li Jiazu's grave to Bian Dashou. It turns out that Li Zicheng's ancestors were not nobody. Mizhi Li is a descendant of Li, the founding emperor of Xixia. Li's grave is more than 200 miles away from the county seat.
In Sanfengzi Mountain, surrounded by peaks, the momentum is ferocious.
In order to step on the spot better, Bian Dashou took hunting as an excuse and went to Sanfengzi Mountain with Zhang Zixiang to find out the specific location of Li Jiazu's tomb. Everything is ready now, except for the east wind. According to Bian Dashou and Jia Huan's plan, they want to secretly dig graves and quietly handle the court's errands. As long as they don't make public, Wang Chuang doesn't know that Bian Dashou did it, and this account will only be blamed on Shaanxi Governor Wang Qiaonian. So Bian Dashou gave Zhang Zixiang several thousand taels of silver and asked him to take his younger brother to see the king, so that Zhang Zixiang could be easily removed.
Bian Dashou also bought a relative named Li Cheng. When Li Zicheng's father and grandfather died, Li Cheng, a fellow villager, helped to bury them. Led by Li Cheng, Bian Da took a group of capable and brave cronies, 30 archers and 60 villagers to Sanfengzi Mountain.
It was the second day of the first month in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen (1642). The heavy snow didn't stop and the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk. In the end, even the horses could not continue to pass, so the group had to dismount and walk five or six miles while driving. When I arrived at Sanfengzi Mountain Cemetery, I saw dense forests, covered the sky, vines hanging, and at least twenty or thirty scattered graves. Because of the age, Li Cheng couldn't tell which was grandpa Li Zicheng's grave.
Li Cheng said: When he buried his grandfather, he dug a black bowl in the soil, put it on the coffin, buried it together, and found the tomb with the black bowl. Bian Dashou had to order all the twenty or thirty graves to be dug up and examined one by one. At first, I dug five or six black bowls, and some remains were not completely corrupt. It was already dark at this time, and everyone camped near the cemetery for the night. It's been a hard night. After a busy day, the eerie and cold weather in the desolate mountainous area left me nothing. If I can't find anything tomorrow, I'm afraid my morale will be unstable.
However, it didn't take long to find it the next morning. They dug a grave under a tree, and after digging it out, there was really a black bowl, but it was strange to see that the coffin was rolled several times by rattan roots.
They cut off the roots of vines with a sharp axe. When they opened the coffin, they saw that the bones inside were black with three or four inches of yellow and white hair on them. What's even more amazing is that there is a white snake more than a foot long in the coffin, which obviously hasn't grown up. Li Cheng saw it and said with certainty that this bone was Li Zicheng's grandfather. It's just that everyone was shocked by this strange sight. I don't know if this is good or bad, and no one dares to do it for a while.
Bian Dashou made a decisive decision, drew his sword and killed the white snake, told people to put away the black bowl and the white snake as evidence in court, and then asked people to dig graves next to him. I saw that Li's bones had white hair, and the bones of seven or eight graves were burned to ashes. Bian Dawan continued to do nothing. He wanted to exterminate the grass and ordered people to cut down all the hundreds of big trees around him to break Li Zudong's feng shui. At this point, the task of digging graves was finally completed.
After returning, Dawan immediately wrote a report to the court and asked for credit. The governor of Shaanxi replied: If the thief Li is removed one day, Bian Dawan will take the lead.
Later, Shaanxi Governor Wang Qiaonian was defeated in Xiangcheng and captured alive by Li Zicheng's army. Probably Li Zicheng hated him for digging his ancestral grave, cut off Wang Qiaonian's tongue first, and then tortured him. Two years later, Bian Dahou was also captured by Li Zicheng's army, but at this moment, Li Zicheng ascended the throne in Beijing, wrote a letter to the world, and Bian Dahou was released, which also proved that he secretly dug Li Zicheng's ancestral grave, which was unknown in the local area.
Rumor has it that Li Zicheng was blinded in one eye because Bian Dahou killed the white snake. However, Li Zicheng was shot blind when he attacked Kaifeng House in the 14th year of Chongzhen (164 1), and Bian Dahong dug a grave in the 15th year of Chongzhen (1642). There is no causal relationship between the two events.
There is also a saying that the white snake in the coffin had a dragon horn and only one eye. The white snake is the dragon soul of Li Zicheng, but fortunately it was beheaded by Bian Da. To say that a small white snake has a dragon horn implies an unformed dragon. This statement is obviously a deliberate deification of this matter, which is purely groundless.
As for the long white hair on the bones, it was considered ominous in ancient times because of the corpse change. But now science can explain this phenomenon, in fact, because the environment is humid, resulting in mold.
Li Zicheng and Chongzhen, two rivals, have circuitous personalities. Li Zicheng is resolute and ruthless, Chongzhen is indecisive and suspicious by nature. Li Zicheng caught Zhu, the son of Emperor Wanli in Luoyang, cooked him with the deer in the garden, called it "Fulu Banquet", and ate it with soldiers, showing his hatred for corrupt officials. But strangely, Li Zicheng gave special treatment to Emperor Chongzhen. Before the invasion of Beijing, he was willing to negotiate with Chongzhen, saying that as long as Chongzhen gave him the northwest region, Chongzhen could continue to be emperor, but the peace talks failed under the opposition of a group of ministers. After Chongzhen committed suicide, Li Zicheng also arranged for his body to be buried, which was polite, but it was also an anomaly.
Portrait of Chongzhen
Li Zicheng and Chongzhen fought for most of their lives and dug each other's ancestral graves. In the end, they just let the Qing soldiers reap the profits, which makes people feel sad.

And he doesn't find it difficult to live a simple life. As long as he can get by, the family will be satisfied with peace and health. When the child gets married or needs to start a business, you will know how rich the "bottom" he left for the child. I hope my answer can help you answer the question: What is Ying Zheng's real attempt to kill 27 ministers in Dafuqin? Why did he pardon the 28th exhorter? After the King of Qin successfully put down the _ _ rebellion, he killed 27 ministers named Empress Dowager Zhao by Zhao Ji with an iron fist, which immediately shocked the whole ruling and opposition parties, making the clansmen, foreign ministers and visitors really afraid to make a move at the moment, and the whole Korean people were floating.
So what is the attempt to kill 27 ministers in a row and try to win the government? Why did he pardon the 28th admonisher?
It is said that after the rebellion of Qin State, the Chu forces headed by Mrs. Huayang and all foreign courtiers were reused and gained real power, but the imperial clan only gained a unique title.
So the imperial clan put strong pressure on the lost imperial clan of Lu and foreign ministers, forcing Lv Buwei's son to be anxious. In order to divert attention, Lu's minions came up with a rumor, welcoming Empress Zhao back to the former harem of fornication, which led to the scene in which the king of Qin killed 27 ministers in succession.
Why did the king of Qin kill 27 ministers in succession? What is his intention?
In order to understand the attempt of the king of Qin, we must first understand his psychological state at that time.
King Qin treated his mother Evonne's heart.
First of all, it is an ironclad fact that Evonne, his mother, secretly gave birth to two sons and committed adultery with _ _. This is a disgrace to the royal family. It is said that you don't respect me. Why should I respect you? Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is for this reason.
Secondly, Evonne and Lv Buwei jointly managed state affairs for more than 10 years, which made the king of Qin very depressed and humble. At this time, the ministers asked him to welcome Empress Zhao back again, and he would surely think: Do these ministers want to support Empress Zhao and jointly govern to harm the court?
Finally, Empress Dowager Zhao of Evonne supported the rebellion of one of his men and wanted to commit suicide and establish a new king. Does she still have this son in her heart? If he hadn't cracked down decisively, would he still be alive? Don't let her make the same mistake and set up a new king?
Qin Wang's attitude towards Lv Buwei.
I think in Ying Zheng's heart, the king of Qin is also very sure of Lv Buwei's contribution to the State of Qin and has respect for him, but at the same time, because of Lv Buwei's powerful ability, he has held the imperial court for many years, and his influence is deeply rooted and prestigious, and everything in Lv Buwei makes him feel a little scared.
Now, almost all the protesting ministers obey Lv Buwei. Their purpose is obviously to make a comeback for Lv Buwei. If they do this, won't it be very dangerous for them in the future? Do you still have authority in front of them?
What's more, after putting down the rebellion, he specifically ordered that anyone who tried to remonstrate with the backward would be killed without forgiveness. Now, these ministers are obviously ignoring their own orders and obviously challenging their prestige. How can we stand firm without killing them?
In addition, those members of the royal family were dissatisfied with his failure to convict Lv Buwei, and they were all angry at his reuse of the foreign secretary. So now these foreign ministers are challenging his bottom line for their own interests. They hope the Queen Mother and Lv Buwei will make a comeback. When will they not be killed at this time?
So Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, had to kill the ministers who remonstrated with the imperial clan in order to seal the imperial clan's mouth, to challenge his majesty and to stabilize the regime he had just mastered.
Show everyone that he is the king of Qin, and his majesty is beyond challenge. At the same time, he also showed everyone that he has his own opinions and bottom line.
But why did the king of Qin win the government and pardon the twenty-eight admonishers?
There is no exhorter No.28 in the TV series, so who is this?
His name is Mao Jiao, and he is the foreign minister of Qi State. He is very straightforward and courageous. At that time, he knew that 27 people had died in front of him, and he wanted to see the king of Qin for the sake of Queen Zhao.
Ying Zheng obviously knew that he had come to remonstrate with his mother, so he pulled out his own Qin Wang Jian in advance and set up a frying pan to meet Mao Jiaojiao. At the same time, he was also very curious and asked Mao Jiao, don't you know that I killed 27 ministers?
Mao Jiao said, I know there are 28 stars in the sky, and this time I will make up the 28th. Obviously, he wanted to remonstrate with death, so he bluntly said that the king of Qin killed his false father (_ _), killed his two younger brothers and imprisoned his mother. It's really unfilial and unjust. Everyone is afraid of him and has lost the hearts of the people. What's the difference between this and Shang Zhouwang? It is unfavorable to unify the whole country. Then I took off my clothes and waited for the victory killer.
But at that time, after listening to his words, the king of Qin immediately put down his sword, walked down the steps to help Mao Jiao personally, thanked him for waking himself up, and then decided to welcome Mrs. Zhao Ji back.
Why is this? It turned out that the king of Qin killed 27 ministers in order to consolidate his political power. He is also very painful in his heart, knowing that it will cause the hearts of the court to float, but he can't bear to be too cruel, or that he is wrong.
Imagine, a overlord who can rule the world, will he be a confused king? Obviously, it is impossible. Sometimes, even if he is wrong, he will insist, because it concerns your majesty.
So when he killed 27 ministers, he also knew that he must never kill again, otherwise it would chill the hearts of ministers. So who will help him govern the country?
What's more, without filial piety, we can't get the support of the people all over the world, let alone unify the six countries.
So when he saw Mao Jiao admonishing himself, he borrowed a donkey to go down the mountain. Instead of killing him, he took his advice and took it back to the Queen Mother. His timely reputation won the hearts of the whole world and the support of ministers, and he was ready to unify the six countries.
