15. Chapter 15 The First Unsolved Case of the Qing Dynasty

"Meixi, where did you get the dragon ball?" Wushuang asked.

Lin Meixi pointed to the middle of the red carpet on the altar without making a sound. The little girl followed Wushuang and Nalanhong all the way with her head lowered and remained silent. She was probably too young and had never seen anything so dangerous.

, I was already scared out of my wits.

Nalanhong and Wushuang walked onto the red carpet and were not in a hurry to look at the small mechanism in the center. Although this crypt was also left by the ancestors, it has no meaning anymore after the dragon ball has been taken away. For literati or say

For historians, what they are most interested in is the incantation on the red carpet. It is Manchu. Judging from the handwriting and wording, it should be from the early Qing Dynasty. Nalanhong judged that it was during the Shunzhi Emperor's period, while Wushuang inferred that it was from the Shunzhi Emperor's period.

A little later, he felt it was more like a legacy from the Kangxi Dynasty.

Wushuang is a strange person in the local antique world in Jilin. As long as he looks at things, there won't be much difference. But he is not a historian and does not have Nalanhong's objective understanding of the Manchu Dynasty. Although he can barely be regarded as a descendant of the royal family.

, but I only know a little about Manchu, and I only started learning it two or three years ago.

At first, he followed Nalanhong as if nothing was wrong while reading the mantras on the red carpet and slowly translating them. But later, as the amount of information on the mantras became larger and larger, the recorded ancient words and classical Chinese sentences became more and more complex.

At the end of the day, he had no choice but to give up and simply turned his attention directly to Nalanhong.

Nalanhong remained silent. The textual information on the mantra was so shocking that he frowned and turned pale. If what is recorded above is true, then it may overturn the view of the Manchu and Qing dynasties written by historians and history books.

Records of the dynasty.

What Wushuang first saw was that the mantra recorded the merits and demerits of his ancestor Shuerhaqi during his lifetime. It even mentioned that he and his brother Nurhaci fell in love with Dong Gege of Yehenala clan. This matter was between the two brothers.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a family affair... or a family scandal. Most historians of the time would never dare to record it. This shows that the original construction of this crypt was not approved by the imperial court.

"Mr. Nalan?" It was too cold here, and Lin Meixi wanted to go out. She didn't know that this mysterious crypt contained a secret that could change her life.

"Shh, don't make any noise. Master Shuang, come and take a look at the records here." Nalanhong summoned Wushuang.

"Okay, Xiaolan, don't be pretentious. You clearly know that I have only a limited understanding of Manchu. Tell me quickly. What are you talking about?" Wushuang asked anxiously.

Nalanhong turned around and glanced at Lin Meixi, who was tightly wrapped in her coat and shivering under the altar, but hesitated to speak.

Wushuang understood, and summoned Dongzi and others who were waiting at the entrance of the cave to take Meixi up first. He ignored them and went back to the hot spring club to prepare lunch.

After everyone left, Nalanhong revealed a shocking secret recorded in the mantra.

This secret turned out to be about the mystery of Emperor Shunzhi, one of the four major unsolved cases of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Official history records that Emperor Shunzhi was infatuated with Concubine Dong E, and Concubine Dong E did not please the Empress Dowager. The reason was that Concubine Dong E was former Shunzhi Emperor's younger brother, Fujin.

His origins were unclear, and the Dong E family was not a noble of the Eight Banners of the Manchu people, so it had little support for Emperor Shunzhi's initial unification of the country.

Everyone has probably seen this story from novels and TV, so I won’t go into details. In short, Concubine Dong E and her son both got smallpox and died, and Emperor Shunzhi became disheartened and decided to become a monk. The person who helped him was Mao Xisen

Grandmaster.

Empress Dowager Xiaohui was furious and said that if the emperor gave up his great country and family for a woman, he would burn the monster monk Mao Xisen to death on the spot.

The ending of the story is that Master Mao Xisen was put on a pyre, and the guards on the left and right held torches and looked at Emperor Shunzhi... Master Mao Xisen was burned alive. After Emperor Shunzhi returned to the palace, he also died in 1661 that year.

According to official history, he died of smallpox. After his death, he was buried in the Qingdong Tomb in Zunhua, Hebei Province in 1663.

There are many novels that claim that Emperor Shunzhi did not die, but actually became a monk in Mount Wutai. These are based on no basis and cannot be believed.

"Brother Wushuang, what do you think of this period of history?"

"Aren't all official and unofficial histories defined by the regime at that time? I don't think that Emperor Shunzhi died in 1661. The reason is very simple. The Qing court was trying to cover up the truth. How could an emperor who had already become an emperor have the qualifications to enter the imperial mausoleum?

?How can he be buried in the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty? This is against the rules! Also, everyone knows that smallpox is contagious. His son and his wife have both had smallpox. How come he has not gotten sick for several years? He must die at this time.

Did you?" Wushuang's analysis was very thorough, and he had his own unique insights into Qing history.

Nalanhong handed Wushuang a cigarette, and the two brothers sat on the stone steps of the altar chatting.

He said that the incantation indeed said something similar to what you analyzed. Emperor Shunzhi died in 1704 and was not buried in the Qingdong Tomb in Hebei.

"Where is it buried?"

"The incantation doesn't say it, but this dragon ball is indeed related to your ancestor Shuerhaqi. From an atheistic point of view, I don't believe there are dragons in this world, but the incantation says that this dragon ball is Shuerhaqi.

It is formed by condensation of dragon energy after death. This is just one of them. It is said that if you can collect four dragon balls, you can cut off the dragon energy of the Qing Dynasty and find the coffin of Emperor Shunzhi."

Wushuang took a puff of cigarette and blew out a smoke ring with great interest. "How old are you? Do we Manchus have any dragon spirit? But I do like the coffin of Emperor Shunzhi..."

"Haha... What are you doing? Do you want to go back to your old business again? Are your hands itchy?"

"Xiaolan, don't talk nonsense. What does it mean to return to the old business? It's really ugly. Our elders in the Hai family have a saying that the reason why the Qing Dynasty has ruled China for so many years is not because of how well the emperors have governed the country. On the contrary, looking at the entire

In Chinese history, the Qing Dynasty's court was the most stupid and stupid. The reason lies in Emperor Shunzhi. Emperor Shunzhi became a Buddha. His coffin should be on a geomantic treasure land, and his body would be immortal for hundreds of years.

It protected the centuries-old foundation for future generations to achieve the Qing Dynasty."

Nalanhong asked: "By the way, the incantation says that this crypt was built by your Hai family ancestor Airli. He also tried his best to hide the dragon beads left by his grandfather Shuerhaqi here.

Didn’t your ancestors of the Hai family warn you?" (The grandson of Shuerhaqi and the second son of the fourth eldest daughter, Bel Amin.)

Wushuang shook his head. The ancestors of the Hai family left nothing behind, only these hundreds of slaves were left to him. Of course, they also had the ability to view mountains and identify acupoints.

"Then what are you going to do? Putting such an important thing in the hands of a little girl will probably kill her, right?"

"Xiaolan, do you believe in fate?" Wushuang did not reply to his words, but instead asked this question.
