In ancient times, the emperor was a symbol of supreme power. He was always aloof and looked down on all living beings. Even if the emperor died, his mausoleum must be magnificent and magnificent, showing royal majesty so that people would not dare to look directly at him. See.
is like the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang . It hollowed out most of Lishan , and placed the Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses in the tomb. It seems that he will lead this army to conquer the world after his death. This The spectacular sight shocked the whole world.
But if there is an emperor, he is not a king who has subjugated his country. He does not have a weak leader and strong ministers, but he has great power and can take life and death. But after his death, his tomb was extremely miserable, and even a pig could be found on his head. Eat, drink, and have diarrhea. What kind of emperor do you think this will be?
The Unquiet Pig Pen
One night in 1986, a family surnamed Zhang in the east end of Wanzhang Village in Ci County, Hebei Province was sleeping. While they were sleeping, there was a sudden commotion in the pig pen in the backyard of their home. A few fat pig "humming" sounds suddenly woke up old man .
Could it be that there are pig thieves?
As soon as he thought of this, Old Man Zhang turned over and sat up from the bed. He walked to the backyard with a flashlight. These pigs were the most important property of the family and nothing could happen to them.
Walking to the pig pen, Old Man Zhang carefully counted several times and found that not a single pig was lost. This was really strange. What were these pigs "excited" by not sleeping at night?
A few nights later, Old Man Zhang was woken up again by a "humming" sound in his sleep. Hearing the sound, Old Man Zhang was awakened again. He walked to the pig pen and inspected it carefully. It was strange. , or nothing happened, are these pigs crazy?
Two or three days later, Old Man Zhang heard another commotion in his sleep. This time, Old Man Zhang didn't even bother to check. Anyway, there was nothing. Let's talk about it the next day.
On the second day, Old Man Zhang drove the pigs out of the pigsty and used a pitchfork to shovel the straw aside. At this time, Old Man Zhang discovered the secret. It turned out that there was a deep hole under the straw. These pigs The commotion at night was caused by drilling.
Old man Zhang realized that there must be something wrong here, so he quickly reported the situation to the village committee, and the village committee notified the county police station. When the police arrived at the scene and conducted an investigation, they determined that this was the case. It's most likely a burglary hole.
So here comes the problem. The caves are used by tomb robbers to rob tombs, but I have never heard of any big tombs near Zhang Village. The villagers here are all honest farmers of the eighth generation, and none of their ancestors are rich. But whose tomb was this cave robber robbing?
The local police immediately notified the Archaeological Institute of the situation, and soon several archaeological experts rushed to the scene. After visiting the local area, they actually discovered some clues.
According to some old people, there used to be a very large mound in this area. Most of the soil used by residents to build new houses was taken from the mound. Over time, the mound was shoveled away, but From now on, when it rains here, a deep pit will collapse. It will be useless to fill it up. It will appear again the next time it rains.
At this time, the experts were also alert. This was obviously a symbol of a tomb underground. They looked at the robbery hole in the pig pen. Judging from the traces left behind, it seemed that it had been there for a long time. It was not a new hole. Look. When you come to the home of this "hermit" underground, you have already been visited by others.
The experts dug all the way down along the big hole that appeared in the pig pen of Old Man Zhang's house, and soon discovered the tunnel.
The walls on both sides of the corridor are covered with very exquisite and grand murals. These murals are very huge and the content is colorful. The technique of using the brush is extremely wonderful. At first glance, it is obvious that they are not made by ordinary people.
But unfortunately, due to the emergence of this robbery hole, the tomb began to see serious water. Most of these murals were soaked by water and became a little blurry. This made the experts present feel extremely heartbroken when they saw it. , in order to protect these cultural relics, experts immediately began rescue excavation.
Although this tomb has been visited by tomb robbers, most of what they took away were gold, silver and jade articles, and the rest were abandoned. In the end, experts unearthed thousands of valuable cultural relics from the tomb. , mostly stone tools, pottery , ceramics, etc., and based on the analysis of the content of the murals,
and the study of some written historical materials, experts finally came to a surprising conclusion. The owner of this ancient tomb actually It was Gao Yang, the founding emperor of the Northern and Southern Qi Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
The Violent Emperor
Gao Yang was often bullied by children of the same age due to his ugly appearance since he was a child.
His father Gao Huan could tell that although Gao Yang didn't like to talk and was indeed "touching" in appearance, he had ambitions in his heart.
Once Gao Huan threw a mess of hemp rope to his sons and asked them to separate the hemp rope. The other brothers were struggling to dismantle the hemp rope. Only Gao Yang pulled out his knife and cut the hemp rope with a few "swish" blows. It was clear that when Gao Huan saw this, his evaluation of Gao Yang became even higher.
At that time, the most powerful person in the Gao family after Gao Huan was not Gao Yang, but his brother Gao Cheng. However, who would have thought that on the eve of Gao Cheng's plan to usurp the throne, he would be killed by his own "Personal chef" Lan Jing was assassinated.
After Gao Cheng's death, Gao Yang changed from his reserved state, integrated his brother's power with thunderous momentum, and quickly controlled the political affairs of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.
Another year later, the ministers advised Emperor Xiaojing of the Eastern Wei Dynasty to "comply with the destiny of heaven". To put it bluntly, he should not be ignorant of good and evil. In the end, Emperor Xiaojing burst into tears and signed his name on the abdication edict.
In this way, Gao Yang ascended the throne in Yecheng , the country was named Daqi, and the reign was named Tianbao.
In the beginning, Gao Yang still had some enterprising spirit, leading troops to fight everywhere and conquering cities and territories. But gradually, perhaps Gao Yang had been in power for too long and completely let himself go.
Perhaps he was immersed in the flattery of others every day, which made him Lost his true heart, Gao Yang's spirit became more and more abnormal. He became extremely indulgent and drank every day. When he drank too much, he started to drink like crazy and look for trouble.
Gao Yang had a concubine, Xue Bin, whom Gao Yang liked very much. She was so beautiful and beautiful that Gao Yang could not wait to stay with her every day.
But after Gao Yang drank too much one day, the more he looked at Xue Bin, the more he disliked her. Because Xue Bin had had some gossip with his cousin Gao Yue in the past, which made Gao Yang feel more and more unhappy.
In the end, Gao Yang was angry from the bottom of his heart and grew evil in his heart. With the help of alcohol, he killed Xue Bin with a knife, and then cut off her thigh and held her in his arms, going to find someone else to drink.
Everyone present looked at Gao Yang, who was holding a human thigh and sitting drinking, and they were all frightened and their hair stood on end.
After a while, Gao Yang actually pulled a few silk threads, wrapped them around his thigh, and made a simple "Pipa". While playing it, he sang: "A beautiful woman is rare."
This made everyone present even more " My defense has been broken." Some people were so frightened that they cried loudly.
Another two years later, Gao Yang asked the minister Yuan Shao : " Why did Wang Mang fail to usurp the throne? Why was Liu Xiu able to regain the Han Dynasty?"
Yuan Shao thought for a while and said: "Maybe it's because Wang Mang didn't usurp Liu Xiu. Let's kill all the clan members."
Gao Yang suddenly became happy when he heard this, and immediately ordered Yuan Shao to be imprisoned.
It turns out that Gao Yang wanted to kill all the Yuan clan of the previous Wei dynasty for the sake of his "Northern Qi great cause", and Yuan Shao was also a member of the Yuan clan.
In this way, a massacre began. More than 700 clan members were beheaded by Gao Yang, and finally these corpses were thrown into Zhanghe .
At that time, after fishermen on both sides of the river cut open the belly of the fish, they would always find the fingernails and toes of the person who had been eaten by the fish. For a while, people on both sides of the Zhang River no longer dared to eat fish.
Fortunately, within a few months, Gao Yang's body became weaker and weaker. Finally, on October 10, the 10th year of Tianbao, Gao Yang suddenly died of a serious illness at the age of 34.
After Gao Yang's death, his body was naturally buried in the ground. However, it was the Northern and Southern Dynasties period, a troubled time, and Gao Yang's body could only be buried in his own country.
And his country, Northern Qi, is what it is today. In Hebei, Shandong and other places, Zhangcun is also near the Zhanghe River, so it is very normal for Gao Yang's tomb to be found in Zhangcun, Hebei.
The former founding emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, thousands of years later, his tomb was buried under a pig pen, and even visited by tomb robbers. This really makes people lament the impermanence of the world.
