The mausoleum of Zong Zheng is located on Mount Li, a hundred miles southeast of Nan'an City.
Back then, the Yin-Yang master who was reading divinations for Zong Zheng and searching for a place with Feng Shui treasures had already predicted that Mount Li had the true energy of an imperial dragon vein.
Not only has the Zong Zheng clan been able to lead the Great Chu Dynasty for two hundred years, but if they can nourish this place, their descendants will have the opportunity to become the Holy Emperor who rules the world.
The Zong Zheng clan was ecstatic upon hearing this, and naturally regarded this place as more important than anything else in the world.
As early as the time of Taizu, a powerful army was stationed here.
That is to guard the imperial tomb.
Taizu gave this army great power.
No need to obey any emperor's orders.
In other words, no emperor under Taizu had the right to dispatch this army.
Unless other troops arrive at the imperial mausoleum, the army guarding the mausoleum cannot take action.
They only need to follow the orders of Emperor Taizu. Unless the entire Zong Zheng Dynasty is about to collapse, all the soldiers guarding the mausoleum must not leave the imperial mausoleum for generations to come.
They are outside the imperial power, yet their ancestors have been imprisoned in this cage for generations.
Even when offering sacrifices to their ancestors, emperors were not allowed to enter and leave the imperial mausoleum at will.
Not to mention anyone else, no one can approach at will.
Unless it is placed in a coffin box, it can enter the imperial mausoleum which was built as early as the Taizu period.
It is said that when the Emperor of Chu was young, he wanted to snatch the body of the late Queen.
But his personal guards fought a battle with the army guarding the imperial mausoleum and were defeated miserably.
The King of Chu still wanted to be a wise ruler at the time, so the incident was not a big deal.
He concealed the matter secretly, and the army guarding the imperial mausoleum could not make it known, but every few years, the Emperor of Chu would send people to secretly spy on the imperial mausoleum.
Although his men never returned every time, he never gave up on this matter.
This time, he even brought along the young man he had just taken a fancy to.
I also plan to go there myself.
And they decided that if they failed again this time, they would fight to the death and send troops to suppress and take over the place directly, regardless of the orders of the ancestral emperor.
No one in this world can stop him from doing what he wants to do!
So when he knew he was going to the imperial mausoleum, Duan Rongshi was already prepared for a tough battle.
However, what he didn't expect was that the Emperor of Chu actually brought Qingyangzi with him.
No wonder the Emperor of Chu suddenly became so excited to go to the imperial mausoleum in person.
Duan Rongshi has been imprisoned in Dali Temple these days, and Qingyangzi has no time to explain his current situation to him.
But when the two met, they tacitly pretended not to know each other as soon as their eyes met.
Qingyangzi does have some real skills.
His ability to predict the future actually helped him find a new path.
"Your Majesty, I've calculated. If we had taken this path up the mountain, we would have avoided at least half the bloodshed today."
The Emperor of Chu was very excited about personally exploring the imperial tomb today.
Although it was a narrow path, he took the lead and said, "Today, I must enter the imperial mausoleum myself!"
"If you can help me accomplish this, I will give you all official positions and great rewards!"
The guards instantly became imposing: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Qingyangzi: "Shh——"
These lunatics, are they really not afraid of attracting the death warriors guarding the mountain? They all think that the deaths of those who came here are not enough?
Qing Yangzi secretly exchanged a glance with Duan Rongshi.
One of them walked in front, and the other followed in the middle of the crowd.
Soon, we reached the end where there was no way up.
The Emperor of Chu's body had been tortured by nightmares for years, leaving him feeling empty and weak. He was already out of breath halfway through the walk.
Finally, he was carried up in a sedan chair made of human hands by the personal guards.
After going up the mountain, looking at the desolate scene, while everyone was still looking at each other in confusion, Qing Yangzi had already found a cave.
"Right here!"
"I was right in my calculations. A tomb robber has been here before!"
Tomb robber!
It turns out that even the death warriors guarding the imperial mausoleum can be blind at times.
These tomb robbers actually took advantage of the loophole.
The King of Chu was overjoyed and immediately shouted that he wanted to go down.
Upon seeing this, the guards immediately knelt forward and begged, "Your Majesty, please reconsider."
"This cave is so small and cramped. How can we force Your Majesty to walk through this narrow path?"
"What's more, we don't know what the situation is here. Your Majesty, please think twice for your own safety!"
Emperor Chu: "Get out of here! I said I must enter the imperial mausoleum myself today!"
"I will go down myself!"
At this moment, Duan Rongshi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to explore the way ahead. Once we confirm that it is passable, we can then invite Your Majesty in."
After some hesitation, the King of Chu agreed to this proposal.
The guards' expressions came back to life and they couldn't help but look more friendly towards Duan Rongshi.
Duan Rongshi was agile, but even when he sneaked into the thief's cave, it took him several hours to get out.
The King of Chu had already lost his patience.
Just when he was about to turn hostile and decide to bury the cave entrance, Qing Yangzi suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, it's here."
Sure enough, Duan Rongshi flipped out of the cave.
By then, it was approaching night.
They didn't even dare to light a fire.
Seeing him crawl out, everyone was shocked.
If Qing Yangzi had not given a warning first, everyone would have thought that he was the evil ghost crawling out of the ground.
Duan Rongshi came out looking a little dusty, but he said to the Emperor of Chu, "Your Majesty, we have cleared the obstacles inside. You may leave now."
It’s so simple, can you get down?
