The only plan for now is to discuss how to deal with the aftermath. As for the pursuit of responsibility, why not wait for the matter to settle down before discussing it? "

Xue Fengxiang glanced at Wen Tiren gratefully - it's so interesting to be able to reach out and hold my brother at this time!

Sure enough, after another cold snort, Emperor Chongzhen said, "What about Wen Aiqing's opinion?"

Wen Tiren bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, for the present plan, there are two options.

One is to repair the Yongling Mausoleum to prevent similar problems in the future.The second is to move the mausoleum and choose another geomantic treasure. "

After Emperor Chongzhen snorted coldly, he turned his attention to Xiang Fengxiang: "What do you think Xue Aiqing?"

After quietly taking a look at Emperor Chongzhen, Xue Fengxiang bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I think the selection of the mausoleum should be the most important thing.

Right now, Yangcuiling's feng shui has been broken, and it is not suitable to be used as the place of Yongling, and repairing it is only a temporary solution, it is better to move the mausoleum. "

Emperor Chongzhen stood up from the dragon chair with a groan, walked back and forth for a few steps, and then said angrily: "The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites will jointly choose a geomantic location for Emperor Sejong to re-annulate, and the original Yongling Mausoleum will be abandoned. Retire!" "

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen waved his sleeves and turned back to the harem, leaving all the ministers in the court staring there.

This matter is really too weird, the well-behaved Yongling actually said that water seeped?No signs of it before?

After returning to the cabinet, Xue Fengxiang approached him, cupped his hands to Wen Tiren and said, "Thank you for today's matter, Mr. Wen Ge, for your help. I am very grateful!"

On the other hand, Wen Tiren said with a smile: "You and I are officials in the same court, that's what we should have meant, why should Mr. Xue be so polite."

Xue Fengxiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "The water seepage in Yongling is no small matter. If His Majesty's plank is knocked down, the lower officials will bear the brunt of it. I'm afraid they will die because of this incident."

Wen Tiren looked like a kind old man, still smiling and said: "This matter involves Emperor Sejong's mausoleum, if your majesty doesn't express anything, I'm afraid it will make the world laugh.

Mr. Xue was ordered to preside over the relocation of the mausoleum this time, and the burden on his shoulders was not light. "

Xue Fengxiang nodded, with a smile uglier than crying, he said with a wry smile: "The lower officials will organize people to survey the tomb when they turn around."

After finishing speaking, Xue Fengxiang was about to bid farewell to Wen Tiren, but Wen Tiren suddenly said: "By the way, I would like to ask a question, what does Master Xue think about the funeral objects involved in the Yongling mausoleum?"

It is absolutely impossible for an old fox like Wen Tiren to suddenly open his mouth to talk about the Yongling funeral objects. As long as he opens his mouth, there must be something wrong with it.

After deliberating for a while, Xue Fengxiang tentatively said: "The lower official intends to organize a manpower to survey the tomb first, and then carry out an inventory of the funeral objects before proceeding to the burial."

Wen Tiren shouted: "Confused! What a noble status is Emperor Sejong? How can these buried objects be buried with him for a second time?"

Xue Fengxiang said: "What does Mr. Wen mean?"

After taking a sip of tea, Wen Tiren said calmly: "It's not what the old man means, but what about your Ministry of Engineering."

Xue Fengxiang also fell into deep thought when he heard the words.

The matter of water seepage in Yongling Mausoleum was strange from top to bottom, but no one dared to speak out.

Has there ever been such a shitty thing as water seepage in the imperial mausoleum?There should have been. So many emperors have been buried in history, who knows if there is any water seepage.

But can Yongling be the same?It has only been a short period of 73 years since Emperor Sejong was buried. Water seeps now?

Is it true that those who chose the mausoleum for the emperor are all fools?Is it true that the construction standards of imperial mausoleums are the same as those of ordinary people's houses?

Sanhe clay, bricks, organs, all kinds of technologies are not only the top at that time, it is estimated that there is no other company that dares to be so extravagant.

The emperor's mausoleum built with such awesome technology actually showed signs of water seepage, which made the emperor furious and had to move the mausoleum?

No matter how you look at it, it looks weird.

When Wen Tiren brought up the funeral objects of Yongling, Xue Fengxiang immediately felt that he had grasped something.

In a flash of inspiration, Xue Fengxiang blurted out: "Yongle Grand Ceremony!"

The compilation began in the third year of Yongle, employing more than 3000 civil servants, and more than 2 old Confucian scholars were involved. The Yongle Canon was not completed until the seventh year of Yongle!

Ming Shizong liked "Yongle Dadian" very much, and he often carried it with him to read it. Everyone knows this.

However, in the 36th year of Jiajing, a fire broke out in the palace, and all three halls were burned down.With the fire spreading, even the "Yongle Dadian" in Wenlou is in danger of being burned!

In order to prevent this from happening again, in the 41st year of Jiajing, Ming Shizong appointed Gao Gong, Qu Jingchun, Zhang Juzheng and others to re-record "Yongle Dadian".

In order to re-record the Grand Ceremony, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites presided over the "examination of names", and selected [-] calligraphers to transcribe. The inner government assigned painters, calenders, paper craftsmen, etc. Guanglu Temple and Imperial Academy are also responsible for the supply of charcoal, wine and rice, and moon rice respectively.

The writers who re-recorded "Yongle Dadian" were required to copy three pages per day, so the re-recording work took a full six years, and it was not completed in a hurry until the first year of Emperor Mu Zong's reign.

The problem is, based on this speed, the "Yongle Dadian" should not be finished!

The original Yongle Canon is about 55 pages, theoretically speaking, it should be completely transcribed.

But in fact, these [-] good calligraphers still have time to rest and take time off, sickness and leave, etc., which may cause the Jiajing copy of "Yongle Dadian" to not be completely transcribed.

According to rumors in the world, the original "Yongle Dadian" has been buried with Emperor Sejong!

A few days ago, Emperor Chongzhen happened to tell people like himself that he would print more copies of most of the books in Huangshicheng, including "Yongle Dadian"!

Then there was a water seepage incident in Yongling, and it took only ten days before and after!

After these things were connected together, cold sweat began to break out on Xue Fengxiang's forehead—it's frightening to think about it carefully!

Knowing so many things, will he be silenced by the factory guard?

Shocked, Xue Fengxiang didn't care about his dignity anymore, and begged Wen Tiren directly: "Master Shoufu, save me!"

Wen Tiren caressed his beard and said: "Your Majesty Xue doesn't have to be like this, even His Majesty knows all about the taboos, otherwise, why not just send the factory guards to Yongling to fetch the ceremony?

Now, taking advantage of the opportunity of water seepage in Yongling Mausoleum to make things more perfect, I think His Majesty will be able to explain the past. "

Right now, there is no one else in the cabinet, Wen Tiren simply said a few more words: "Master Xue only needs to do his errands with peace of mind, but there is no need to worry. How many things has Eunuch Wei shouldered? Isn't he also taking care of himself now?"

Hearing Wen Tiren mention Wei Zhongxian, Xue Fengxiang finally let go of his heart.

When it comes to the scapegoat and infamy, these so-called members of the eunuchs like myself are far worse than Wei Zhongxian and Eunuch Wei, who is the master who has been nine thousand years old!

After calming down, Xue Fengxiang cupped his hands towards Wen Tiren and said: "I would like to thank you, Mr. Ge, for your advice. In the future, I would like to see Mr. Ge as my leader, and I will have no second thoughts."

Wen Tiren still had that smiling expression: "You and I serve the emperor together, so what's the difference?"

After Xue Fengxiang thanked again, he said: "Your Majesty, let me take my leave first."

After bidding farewell to Wen Tiren from the cabinet, Xue Fengxiang went to look for Meng Shaoyu, intending to find the Minister of Rites to study how to move the mausoleum together.

After Meng Shaoyu waved his hands and ordered everyone to retreat, he poured a cup of tea for Xue Fengxiang himself, and said with a smile, "Meng has been waiting for a long time."

Xue Fengxiang forced a smile and said: "Master Meng is waiting for me, is it also for the purpose of moving the mausoleum?"

Meng Shaoyu smiled and said: "Meng has just discussed with his colleagues in the Ministry of Rites. April [-]th is a good time. It is appropriate to break the ground, move the grave, and sacrifice."
