Hundreds of emperors were born in the long feudal river of more than 2,000 years in ancient my country. There is no doubt that what these emperors valued most during their lifetime was peace and stability in their country and stability in power. So, what do they value most after death? It is naturally the safety of the tombs and how to prevent tomb robbers from invading them.
However, no matter how well they do the protection work and how hidden the tombs are, it is difficult to prevent the invasion of tomb robbers in later generations. my country's tomb robbery industry started since the Three Kingdoms period. The technology of tomb construction is one foot higher, and the technology of tomb robbers is one foot higher.
Therefore, if an ancient tomb is completely preserved in the evolution of thousands of years of history, it depends not only on construction technology, but also on certain luck. What I want to introduce to you today is the lucky ancient tomb in my country's history, comparable to the "koi" in ancient tombs. What exactly is going on?
First of all, let’s take a look at what tomb this is, it is the tomb of Liu He, , the Western Han Dynasty, , the tomb of the tomb of the Marquis of Haihun , of Liu He. Speaking of Liu He, there are still many stories in history. He is the grandson of Liu Che, the Emperor Wu of Han, and he became the king of Changyi at the age of 5. Later, Emperor Zhao of Han died. Since he had no children, Liu He was transferred from Changyi to Chang'an and was crowned the crown prince. After handling the matter, Liu He also officially ascended the throne.
However, Liu He, the emperor, was not at ease. When he was in charge of the imperial examination, he also brought his civil and military officials in Changyi area, plus more than 200 followers.
This move caused dissatisfaction with the power in the court at that time. In his opinion, the political team led by Liu He would have to divide his power in the court. So, he joined forces with Zhang Anshi and to impeach Liu He to the then Empress Dowager Shangguan, saying that he was addicted to alcohol and sex all day long and delayed national affairs. The Empress Dowager believed it and issued an edict to depose Liu He.
It only took 27 days from ascension to resignation to the resignation, and Liu He became the first deposed emperor in history, known in history as the deposed emperor of the Han Dynasty. However, although Empress Dowager Shangguan deposed Liu He, he did not execute him or exiled him. Instead, he was given two thousand households in Tangmuyi, but he was stripped of the title of King Changyi, and from then on Changyi was demoted from the vassal state to Shanyang County.
When Liu He returned to Changyi, his life was quite comfortable, especially with more than 2,000 households, which was extremely free and easy in his later years. Therefore, good things are naturally indispensable in its tomb. There are countless legends about the tomb of , Haihunhou Hou, in history. They all speculate that there are countless rare treasures hidden in it. The tomb robbers have spent all their efforts, but they have not found it.
In fact, it is understandable that they can't find it. Because shortly after Liu He was buried, a major earthquake occurred in the Nanchang area of Jiangxi Province. The earthquake directly flooded Haihun County into Poyang Lake , and also flooded Liu He's tomb. Even if ancient tomb robbers have great skills in such a water-under-water tomb robbers, they will be helpless.
But modern tomb robbers are different, diving equipment, explosives, and so on have already come with everything. In 2015, archaeologists in my country discovered the tomb of Haihunhou for the first time. When excavating it, they discovered a 15-meter-long thief hole above the coffin board of the main tomb. This robbery hole was dug around 2011, and the tomb robber did not dig the robbery. According to the main tomb chamber, it stopped.
The tomb of Haihunhou also escaped from the disaster. When experts discovered it, it was still in a state that had never been stolen, which was a miracle of ancient tombs. As for why the tomb robber gave up just 5 cm away, experts analyzed that it may be because the oxygen was insufficient when diving, or that they thought they had found the wrong location, or that they alarmed the people around them, so they left it alone. And there is no doubt that Liu He's tomb was once again lucky to escape.
In subsequent archaeological excavations, the staff found gold weighing about 1 ton in the tomb, which also proved later generations' conjectures about countless treasures in the tomb of Marquis Haihun. Archaeologists also breathed a sigh of relief. If the tomb robber dig another 5 cm, the 1 ton of gold in the ancient tomb would probably be left at all.
This is the reason why the tomb of Haihun Hou became the luckiest ancient tomb in ancient times. Although Liu He was not very lucky during his lifetime and was deposed after less than a month of being the emperor, his luck was indeed out of reach after his death. If it weren't for the earthquake and the tomb robber's abandonment in the middle of the journey, the tomb of Haihun Hou would probably have only an empty shell left.
