"Pavilion Chief, please take a step to speak." Li Sanjian seemed to have heard that Liang Shicheng was the son of Su Shi and was Su Shi's private son... Then Li Sanjian suddenly remembered something and dragged Liang Shicheng aside and said.

The two of them huddled together and talked as if no one was around, appearing extremely affectionate, which made everyone in the Cai family full of doubts.

When did Li Sanjian become so familiar with Liang Shicheng, the new celebrity in the palace? It's like wearing a pair of pants...

"Pavilion Chief Liang" Li Sanjian saw no one around and said to Liang Shicheng in a low voice: "I have two things to do. I have to trouble the Chief of Cabinet."

Li Sanjian suddenly said this, which made Liang Shicheng a little confused. One thing is not enough, or two?

However, Liang Shicheng was somewhat proud of the fact that the top scholar of the Song Dynasty had something to ask for. In addition, Li Sanjian was a latent minister of the new emperor Zhao Xu. During the palace examination, he won the favor of all the eunuchs regardless of his family background, so Liang Shicheng became famous.

He said to Li Sanjian with a smile: "The number one scholar can just say what he wants. There is nothing we shouldn't do in our family."

"Thank you very much." Li Sanjian raised his hands to express his gratitude and said: "One of these is about my mentor Mr. Dongpo. You also know about my mentor. He was deported to Lingnan and has not been able to return north. My mentor is already old. Why?

Can such harsh conditions be tolerated? When the late Emperor was here, there was no hope for his mentor to return to the north. But now that the Holy One has come to the world, Chief Wangge has the opportunity to say a few nice words in front of the Holy One, so that the old mentor can leave Lingnan. This is what I have done for many years.

Read it, please ask the cabinet minister."

After Li Sanjian said this, he bowed deeply to Liang Shicheng.

Li Sanjian currently has a humble official position and has very few opportunities to meet Zhao Ji. How can he be like Liang Shicheng, who hangs around in front of Zhao Ji all day long? At the same time, Liang Shicheng is Su Shi's illegitimate son. No matter whether it is true or not, Liang Shicheng will not reject him.

Sure enough, Liang Shicheng was overjoyed when he heard this and was happy that Li Sanjian was a kind and righteous person.

Su Shi expelled Li Sanjian from the house, and Liang Shicheng also knew about it. Li Sanjian not only did not complain, but also asked himself to speak for Su Shi, which moved Liang Shicheng deeply.

"What does the champion say? Mr. Dongpo is the master of our family. The matter of the champion is our family's business. Our family and the champion are the same family. You can rest assured." Liang Shicheng said with a smile.

"The second thing is" Li Sanjian nodded and said with some embarrassment: "Her Royal Highness Princess Xu is kind to me. At this time, the concubine and her daughter are in some difficulties. I hope that the chief of the pavilion will take care of me in the palace. I would like to ask you for it."

, please forgive me, Mr. Cabinet..."

Li Sanjian was unable to persuade Empress Dowager Xiang and Zhao Ji, and he did not dare to intervene in the matter. At that time, he could only ask Liang Shicheng. If he agreed, then at least the princess and her daughter would not face too many difficulties in the palace, so as to relieve his worries and

Feelings of guilt.

Li Sanjian can only do so much for the princess at the moment.

Li Sanjian originally thought that Liang Shicheng would shirk the matter in every possible way or politely refuse, which is human nature, but he did not expect that after Liang Shicheng heard this, he laughed and said: "Okay, this matter is also our responsibility.

"

After Liang Shicheng said this, he reached out and pinched Li Sanjian's arm, causing goose bumps all over Li Sanjian's body...

It was the princess who asked Liang Shicheng to take Li Sanjian out of the inspection department. Now Li Sanjian asked him to take care of the princess, and Liang Shicheng was not surprised at all.

There must be an affair between the two, Liang Shicheng thought to himself.

Therefore, Li Sanjian saw that Liang Shicheng's smile was a bit obscene...

Central Plains

Early tombs had neither earth seals nor mounds, nor trees nor markers.

From around the Zhou Dynasty, earthen mounds began to appear on tombs, and until the Warring States Period, mound-style tombs became common.

Since then, the level of tomb owners has been distinguished based on the size of the tomb.

As the king is the head of a country, his tomb must be the tallest, and its shape is like a mountain mausoleum. Therefore, after the middle period of the Warring States Period, the tombs of county princes were called "lings".

The Song Dynasty is no exception.

The layout of the Song Dynasty imperial tombs is similar to that of the Tang Dynasty but smaller in scale. The land is sealed as a mausoleum, and the emperors and empresses are buried together in different caves. They are similar to the Han system.

One hundred and forty years after the founding of the Song Dynasty, its imperial mausoleum was located in Gong County, Henan Prefecture.

Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, built a new mausoleum in Gong County in the third year of Qiande and moved his burials there, which was the beginning of the construction of the mausoleum of the Song emperor.

The Song Dynasty Emperor's Tombs are located in the south of Gong County, southeast of Luohe River, and north of Songshan Mountain. They are known as the "Six Emperors and Seven Tombs". They are Xuanzu Anling, Taizu Yongchang, Taizong Yongxi, Zhenzong Yongding, Yingzong Yonghou, and Shenzong Yong. Yuling.

When Emperor Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty died of illness, the temple was named "Zhe Zong", and his coffin will also be buried here. Even the tomb has been named "Yongtai Mausoleum".

All mausoleums must pay attention to Feng Shui, and the same is true for the Song Dynasty tombs. The site selection is extremely particular. There are green mountains in the back, two mountains on the left and right, which are called green dragons on the left and white tigers on the right. There is a bright hall in the middle, and there is a river in front with twists and turns. The front of the mausoleum is wide enough to accommodate thousands of horses, which will enable future generations to travel thousands of miles and bring endless blessings. It is a place with excellent Feng Shui.

The green mountains and green waters have excellent Feng Shui, but there is also a problem, that is, the mountain roads are difficult to travel, especially in the rainy seasons of spring and summer. Once it rains, the mountain roads will be muddy and the journey will be difficult. It was extremely difficult to walk with bare hands, and it was even more difficult to transport the coffin.

At this time, a team transporting coffins came to the foot of Songshan Mountain, with various flags, and a huge black coffin in the middle.

This is the funeral procession of Zhe Zong's coffin, walking slowly on the muddy mountain road that has just rained.

"Send the order, go up the mountain all night, and deliver the late emperor's coffin to Gong County before dawn." Zhang Dun, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty on horseback, said worriedly as he looked at the dark Songshan Mountain at night.

At this time, Zhang Dun had been decreed by Zhao Ji to be the Duke of Shen. He was envoy to the mountain and mausoleum and was responsible for transporting the coffin of the late emperor Zhao Xu to the imperial mausoleum for burial. Only then did Zhao Ji go to the imperial mausoleum to offer sacrifices.

Of course Zhang Dun, who had lived in the temple for a long time, understood what was going on, so he refused to resign and asked to resign. However, Zhao Ji refused three times, saying that Zhang Dun was a minister of the Zhuguo State who was relied upon by the late emperor Zhao Xu. When Zhao Xu passed away, you, Zhang Dun, were asked to carry the coffin to the imperial mausoleum, but you refused? How can you, Zhang Dun, be worthy of the late emperor Zhao Xu? His heart is to be punished!

At this time, Zhang Dun's request to resign was indeed a little late.

Therefore, Zhang Dun had to be responsible for transporting Zhao Xu's coffin to the imperial mausoleum for burial at an advanced age of nearly sixty years.

At this time, God was unlucky. A heavy rain made the mountain road extremely muddy and difficult to travel. But before we had rested for half a day, the sky was covered with clouds again, and it was about to rain.

"Mr. Zhang." One of Zhang Dun's subordinates saw that the sky had begun to rain, so he put an oil umbrella on Zhang Dun's head and said worriedly: "The weather is so bad, the young ones are working too hard. How about resting at the foot of the mountain for one night and then crossing the mountain tomorrow?"

"No!" Zhang Dun pushed his subordinate officer away and said, "Send the order, and it must be delivered to Gong County before dawn. Anyone who violates the rules will be killed immediately!"

The transportation of the emperor's coffin depends on the date. If you are late, you will also

It was a crime, and several heavy rains had delayed it for many days. Therefore, Zhang Dun ignored his old age and the exhaustion of his men and issued a strict order that it must be delivered on time.

Under Zhang Dun's strict order, the imperial guards, servants, palace servants and others who were transporting the emperor's coffin had no choice but to brave the increasingly heavy rain, shouting loudly, and pushed Zhao Xu's coffin up the mountain.

Many people were too tired to stand up, and really wanted to fall down on the ground and sleep until dawn, but strict orders forced them to hold torches and push the coffin as they moved forward, but the resentment in their hearts became more and more serious.

"A straight mother-in-law, you simply don't care about people's lives or lives." Yang Jian, the palace servant, glared at Zhang Dun in the distance and said.

Yang Jian was Liang Shicheng's confidant and was responsible for transporting the coffin of the late Emperor Zhao Xu in the palace.

"What Zhongguan Yang said is that he was riding on a horse, but he almost exhausted the little ones to death."

"Huh, I'm exhausted. Who's still transporting the coffin?"

"I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore, I really can't walk."

"I won't leave even if you kill him."

Under Yang Jian's instigation, the palace servants became extremely resentful. Many soldiers of the Forbidden Army were also instigated by Yang Jian, and some even refused to leave even after being beaten to death.

"What are you doing? Get up quickly." Yang Jian was secretly happy in his heart, but he pretended to be angry and scolded the people sitting on the ground who refused to leave: "Get up quickly and keep walking. Don't waste time. If you waste time, you won't be able to leave."

To be beheaded."

"Zhongguan Yang, the kids really can't walk anymore."

"Get up quickly. When we reach the mountain, I will find a way for you to rest." Yang Jian said after hearing this.

Everyone had no choice but to push the coffin up the mountain with all their strength.

Yang Jian then winked at his four men, who understood, approached the coffin, touched the ropes binding the coffin, and pushed the coffin forward.

The crowd held torches, shouted chants, and pushed the coffin up the mountain. The huge coffin was gradually carried up the mountain.

At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. The heavy rain was almost pouring down. Raindrops as big as soybeans hit the ground. There was a thunderous sound on the coffin. The water on the ground was getting deeper and deeper. This was still

It's nothing, but at this time, the flash flood on the mountain suddenly erupted, mixed with trees, sand, etc., rushing down, making a terrifying rumbling sound.

Zhang Dun jumped off his horse, held a torch, and personally directed the people to avoid flash floods and accumulated water, and continued moving forward while carrying the coffin.

The funeral procession meandered forward and soon came to a mountain stream. The mountain stream was actually not deep and could be easily crossed on weekdays. But today there was a flash flood. The water in the mountain stream was two feet deep.

There are also stones, sand, and trees. People can wade through the water, but the huge coffin cannot wade through the water anyway.

Under Zhang Dun's constant urging, everyone had no choice but to build a wooden bridge and lay it with planks in order to drag Zhao Xu's coffin across the river with ropes.

After the wooden bridge was built, everyone shouted slogans and dragged the huge coffin onto the wooden bridge and slowly moved it to the other side.

At this time, the white-haired Zhang Dun was soaked by the rain, but he still held a torch and watched everything anxiously. When the coffin was approaching the other side of the river, Zhang Dun couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
