Tomb of the East Tomb of the Qing Dynasty, the tomb of Qianlong, the most blessed emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Yuling is the most luxurious emperor's tomb in the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty. It was built in the eighth year of Qianlong. It consumed more than 1.7 million taels of silver before and after. It is known as the "Crown of Qing Tombs". Qianlong reigned for 60 years and served as the Supreme Emperor for 3 years. Perhaps the reign was too long. Emperor Qianlong was so happy in his later years that he boasted "Ten Quan Wugong", that is, "Ten Achievers, level Junggar two, set back one, fight Jinchuan two, Jing Taiwan one, drop Burma and Annan One for each, that is today’s surrender of Gurkha, combined into ten.”
During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, the Qing Dynasty was prosperous, and he was extremely obsessed with antiques. As a result, when he was buried in the underground palace, he brought a lot of valuable treasures. In the underground palace. Yuling was too ostentatious, coupled with the countless treasures in the underground palace, this naturally attracted the attention of tomb robbers. In July 1928, the warlord Sun Dianying excavated two tombs in the name of an exercise in the Qing Dong Tomb, one of which was Yuling.
The entrance of Yuling Underground Palace is very strong. Sun Dianying adopted the most barbarous way of digging and blasted the stone gate of the underground palace entrance directly with a lot of explosives. In the Yuling Underground Palace, in addition to the coffin of Emperor Qianlong, there are two empresses Xiaoxian and Xiaoyi, and three imperial concubines Huixian, Zhe Min, and Shujia, totaling 6 people. After Sun Dianying and others entered the underground palace, they split the coffin with a sharp axe. The corpses of Emperor Qianlong, the empress, and noble concubines were dragged out of the coffin and thrown into the foul water of the underground palace.
After Sun Dianying's robbing, the underground palace was in a mess, but the tomb robbery was not exposed until a month later. After Pu Yi, the old man from the Qing dynasty and others in Tianjin Jingyuan learned about it, the sentiment was infuriated, and Pu Yi vowed to kill the enemy. Because Sun Dianying would be here, he used the treasure to manage the relevant personnel, and eventually escaped the trial.
could not punish the murderer, so Pu Yi decided to send someone to the Qing Dong Tomb to re-enter the ancestors. Aisin Gioro Bohee was ordered to take charge of the reentry. When he came to Yuling Underground Palace, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. Baoxi recorded the entire process of reentering the bones of Emperor Qianlong and others in the "Baoxi Diary". The bones of Emperor Qianlong and others were soaked in stinky water and turned black.
"The Diary of Baoxi" described, "Fortunately, the skulls of the head of Gaozong and his concubines were found, and there were four bodies and a hundred skeletons, but ten were not saved. For the reason, the bandits robbed them and tried to bury them. The remains were damaged and fallen off at the time of the destruction. Later, local bandits stepped in and trampled them many times, grabbed all the objects in the mud, and carried them out of the baskets. The river water was filtered out, so many fragments of bones were lost, and there was no way to pick them up."
What is even more embarrassing is that when everyone found the bones of the queen and the imperial concubine, they also found some of the Qianlong Emperor’s bones, such as one rib, two foot bones, and one knee bone. ", "I picked up one rib, two foot bones, and one knee bone", "Fingers and toe bones can't be found" etc.
However, everyone did not find the head of Emperor Qianlong. Emperor Qianlong's head was finally fourth. Dao was found under the eastern stone gate that was blown down, and his head was crushed by stones. Baoxi also described the horror scene, "There are only deep sockets in his eyes. Looking closer with the lamp, it seems that white light is shooting from the sockets. ”
