Why does Wu Zetian love to rob tombs?
Speaking of Wu Zetian, everyone may know that the only female emperor in China's history is a ruthless character, and in the words of Xiao Shenyang, she is an old fierce. Indeed, in a feudal society centered on men, how can a woman not be cruel? But Wu Zetian's cruelty is unusual. She is cruel enough to dig someone else's ancestral grave. Wu Zetian's grave robbery is a typical punishment type in the history of grave robbery in China, which is similar to Wu Zixu's excavation of the tomb of the King of Chu and flogging of 300 corpses. But worse than Wu Zixu, the so-called heinous, sinners are a family. People can't escape when they are dead. They dig graves, drag the bodies out to be executed, and torture strangers with extreme humiliating methods such as dismembering the bodies, exposing them, burning them, and promoting bones, so as to achieve the purpose of severe punishment.
Wu Zetian robbed the tomb, which is from this! The elders of the Three Dynasties were burned in coffins, so let's get down to business. How can Wu Canze tolerate Xu Jingye's choice of such a thing? On September 29th, the year of Heir Shengyuan, after Xu Jingye announced that he was going to arise, Wu Zetian did not hesitate to deprive him of all his official titles, including the titles of his father and grandfather, and withdrew the surname Li given by Li Yuan, and at the same time sent troops to Yangzhou to suppress it. It happened that Wu Zetian stripped Li _' s tomb at this time. According to "Biography of Xu Jingye in the New Tang Dynasty", Wuhou sent Zuo Liangyu to attack General Li Xiaoyi with 300,000 soldiers, cut his grandfather's official title, destroyed his tomb and removed his nationality.
This record is relatively simple, and the scene must be very tragic when digging Li _' s tomb. Fortunately, Zhang _, Empress Wu Zetian's ancient adviser, was a man of heart, and wrote down all the situations in the ruling and opposition parties. Wu Zetian ordered Li _, who was buried next to Zhaoling, to dig up the big coffin that Li Zhi gave him and drag Li _' s body out. At that time, it was only fifteen years before he was buried, and Li died in his eighties. Because of the lack of water in the body, the body is not easy to rot and the time is so short. Therefore, when the coffin was opened, Li was in good health. When Wu Zetian heard about it, she asked the consul who arrived at the scene to burn Li's body to ashes and then resurrect it. There is a saying in Feng Shui that he was buried in a bad place. This cemetery was chosen by Mr. Feng Shui. According to the burial book, this is a treasure trove of geomantic omen. The formula is suzaku and Ming, and the descendants are prosperous. At that time, many people were envious.
After hearing about it, a geomantic gentleman named Zhang Jingzang personally went to Li's grave to have a look. He felt something was wrong. He told people privately that Mr. Feng Shui chose the wrong cemetery for Xu _, which should be a fierce place and not suitable for burial. The formula in the burial book should be that Suzaku was sad and saw ashes in the coffin. In fact, Li suffered after his death, not because of bad feng shui, but also because his grandson rebelled against Wu Zetian. He opposed the abolition of the king and queen of Li Zhi and the establishment of Wu Zetian. At that time, Li Zhi couldn't make up his mind about abolishing the queen, so he consulted with Li _, his uncle Wuji, Yu Zhining, Chu Suiliang and other ministers. Li refused to go because of illness. Later, Li Zhi talked to Li _ privately, and Li _ changed his abstention attitude and told Li Zhi that this was your family's business and no outsiders needed to ask. This is very clear. If it is to be abolished, it must be established. When the book was published, Li and Yu Zhining were both ceremony hosts. Unexpectedly, Wu Zetian finally stripped Li _' s grave. Has she no conscience?
The tomb of Prime Minister Hao Zhi was dug up because another person who was dug up by Wu Zetian to burn the body was Li Zhi Prime Minister Hao. Hao was a very upright minister in the Tang Dynasty. He resolutely defended Li. /kloc-lost his father at the age of 0/0, and he became sensible very early. When the world was in chaos at the end of Sui Dynasty, Hao's father, Hao, and her husband, Xu Shao, occupied it. Later, they joined forces with Li Yuan and worshipped in Chuzhou, becoming a county magistrate of Zanshan. When he was emperor, Hao was admitted to Jinshi and was knighted by his father. Hao and Li Zhi have a close relationship. Later, Li Zhi took over, and Hao made a fortune. Finally, he became the prime minister equivalent to Premier the State Council. In fact, according to the New Tang Book Hao Chuan, Hao was very loyal to the emperor. A monk named Lu Jiayi claimed to refine the elixir of life, and Li Zhi planned to take it after refining it. Hao stopped immediately after hearing about it, but Li Zhi gave up taking it.
