Li Sanniang has always been very low-key among Zhao Bing's concubines. The reason is that she is from the French clan and her family background is not prominent compared to others. She is just a hereditary local official.

But everyone knows that Li Sanniang is the first marriage decided by the emperor, and in times of distress, according to folk sayings, she is the main wife. If it were not for another clan, Wu Xi would have nothing to do with the throne. When he was in Qiongzhou, his family devoted their efforts to help Your Majesty stabilize Qiongzhou and suppress the Li clan, which can be said to have made great contributions. In the battles against the Mongol Yuan invasion of Qiong, they all sent troops to help. In the battles of conquering Jiangnan, Li Sanniang personally led the Li clan army to participate in the battle.

Therefore, it is known that although Li Sanniang is lower than Wu Xi and inferior to Chen Shu, her status among the concubines is still at the forefront of the political reasons for uniting the Li tribe or the feelings of sharing hardships with His Majesty. Her experience of being in battle, killing the enemy with her own hands, and leading the army to attack Lin'an also made everyone feel afraid.

Especially last year when the Mongolian Yuan army crossed the Yangtze River, invaded Jiangdong, and threatened Lin'an, Li Sanniang was ordered by the Queen Mother to command the personal army to be responsible for the palace defense. She also accepted the secret order to summon clan troops to station in the palace. Once Lin'an was not defended, she would escort all the people out of the city to take refuge, and all the matter was handed over to Su Lan. It can be said that the Queen Mother entrusts the lives of everyone in the harem to her.

From this, everyone can also see that in the heart of the empress dowager, Li Sanniang's status is more important than that of the queen and everyone, and her trust in them is not even as good as Huipin. She will only hand over the important task of protecting the royal family in times of crisis. Li Sanniang does not bear the heavy responsibility. She personally arranges defense in military uniforms and leads troops to patrol day and night to ensure the safety of the imperial city.

Now the emperor is "intimate" with Li Sanniang under the eyes of everyone, and everyone can see his favor for him. This time, he brought her to the festival and also showed that although he was a slang person, he had been accepted by the royal family and had no difference from other concubines. This means that if he gave birth to a prince, he would have the same status as other princes and would have the same chance to inherit the throne.

All the girls knew the current situation. Except for a hint of embarrassment on Wu Xi's face, everyone else seemed to be unaware of it, and it was still the same as usual. "Officials, our dynasty has always advocated burials. When the vassal monks robbed the tombs, they were afraid that there would be no gains. I'm just busy with it?" Zhang Ping continued the previous topic and asked curiously.

"There were many treasures that the thief robbed back then. In addition to the ones that had been transported away by him and confiscated jewelry, there were a hundred boxes of gold and silver utensils, and other burial objects filled more than a dozen rooms in Taining Temple." Zhao Bing recalled and said.

"Isn't this contrary to the regulations set by Taizu?" Zhang Ping said in a daze.

"Silly sister, the royal family is different from ordinary families. The burial is only compared to the previous dynasty, and there are not many utensils for burial. This historical record has long been recorded..." Wang Yu said.

Through his narrative, Zhao Bing also heard about something "new". In ancient Chinese history, emperors of all dynasties regarded death as the most important thing. Every emperor was busy with one thing as soon as he took office. This was to build a tomb for himself, and he would spend decades so that he could enjoy a luxurious life after his death. In the Song Dynasty, it was a simple burial. The period of construction of the imperial tomb was very short, so the tombs were naturally not as grand as they were, but other aspects were not necessarily simple.

There are generally three types of burial objects in Song Dynasty tombs, one is the daily objects used by the emperor during his lifetime; the other is the collection items that the emperor likes during his lifetime; and the third is the bright objects of gold, silver and jade that must be used according to the emperor's funeral.

According to records, when Zhao Kuangyin reburied his father in Yong'an, he used imperial-level burial objects. The coffin was covered with iron tents, and there were high-end palm mattresses at the time, iron basins, and lacquer lamps for iron mountains. The underground palace was equipped with twelve god figurines. In addition, there were objects called "Danggu", "Dangye", "Zu Ming", "Zu Si" and other objects. However, these burial objects were only standard configurations, and these were indispensable for any tomb.

In addition, Zhao Hongyi, the owner of Yong'an Mausoleum, had never been an emperor before his death. These funeral objects were filial to his son after he became the emperor. After the real emperor died, there were many things to be buried. Although the owner of Yongxi Mausoleum, Zhao Guangyi, was better than his brother in every way, he still couldn't surpass Zhao Kuangyin's influence. However, in his own funeral arrangements, the grand and rich funerals were not in the words of his brother. In order to show his filial piety, Zhao Huan also buried his collections such as bows, swords, pens, inkstones, pianos and chess.

The reason why these contents are well known is because of a custom. Modern people are popular in the circle of friends to post payrolls and collections. In the royal funeral of the Song Dynasty, there is a custom called pre-burial exhibition, which is to display items that will be buried with the deceased before the burial, and to call the assistant ministers to come and watch. Modern people may be from this, but it also seems much lower-level.

Wang Yu saw what he recorded in books that the funeral objects in the Yongding Tomb of Zhenzong were "dried" twice. The first time the funeral objects were collected was when they were collected. Zhenzong died in the first year of Qianxing. Three days later, "Chen Xiandi played with clothes and pearl robes, jade boxes, and vegetation should be entered into the coffin, and summoned the auxiliary ministers to watch them all. The next day after "drying", the body was buried in the coffin.

The second time to "spread" the burial objects was in September of that year. At that time, the tomb had been built. Before the burial of the coffin, the royal family summoned the assistant ministers to visit the Qing Hall to visit the imperial hall, "all the objects that were good for the imperial costumes in their lives." These objects were burial objects to enter the underground palace, that is, the objects outside the coffin. After "spreading", they were sorted and collected into different boxes and placed on the treasure bed where the coffin was placed in the underground palace.

So this "sun" is equivalent to a wide publicity. What was buried in the emperor's tomb is known to the world, and at least everyone who has visited it knows it. The items collected by Zhao Bing in the tomb protection also proves from the side that the so-called burial is relatively not what the world imagines to use only some pottery figurines and wooden men. Think about it, can only be the thing that the emperor likes before the burial besides?

"Oh!" Zhao Bing sighed when he heard this.

"Why are the officials sad?" Wu Xi asked hurriedly when he saw the emperor's expression on his face.

"The emperor's death was only nine years old, and the things buried in the coffin were only a few toys. The war was urgent at that time, and the spirits were in a hurry to bury it in a few days, and I was unable to send it to you." Zhao Bing said, "When the emperor was seriously ill, he still did not forget to write a letter to me and ordered me to secretly keep it in person. If it was unexpected, he could succeed him. I couldn't help but feel sad when I remembered the past events I had been with me!"

"In this way, the officials have issued an edict to the late emperor, and the rumors outside are all false statements!" Wu Xi said.

"It turns out that the queen has always suspected that I was just the empress dowager's support and was able to succeed the throne with the support of all the ministers?" Zhao Bing couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he heard this. His focus was actually here.

"No, no, I don't dare!" Wu Xi said quickly.

"The official family is thinking of the late emperor, so they can redesign the coffin and place some valuables to express their feelings when they are moved to the funeral!" Li Sanniang gently patted the emperor's back and comforted him.

"Sister Shufei is not allowed!" Wang Yu interrupted, "In the past, Emperor Huizong was buried in Yongyou Mausoleum. Emperor Gaozong took the advice of the emperor's ritual officials and put them in the coffin with the emperor's clothes and hats. The coffin was not opened to collect the body, and then the burial was buried. Officials should follow the rules and not open the coffin without authorization!"

"Oh, this is the first time I have heard of this festival!" Zhao Bing nodded, but he was secretly amused in his heart. I am afraid that Emperor Gaozong was also wondering whether the remains of Huizong were contained in the coffin. If he was to re-bury the coffin and find that it was just a piece of rotten wood, how would he explain to the people of the country? Is it necessary to declare war on the Jin Kingdom for this? So the best way is to bury it intact, whether it is true or false, it has been buried deep underground.

"However, Emperor Huizong did not rebuilt his body, which also made people at that time question the Jurchens who returned empty coffins. For a hundred years, the saying that the empty coffins were buried in Yongyou Tombs still circulated among the people, and the remains of Emperor Huizong are still in the northern country." Lei Yan raised questions.

"Really true, false, false, true. Emperor Gaozong refused to open the coffin and rebuilt it. There are naturally some considerations. Why should we descendants delve into it? Even if the truth was found out, what should we do?" Zhao Bing asked back.

However, he knew what the truth was, but he was stopped by his own battle to protect the tomb. At that time, in the first year of the Jin Emperor's reign, in order to improve his relationship with the Southern Song Dynasty, Jin Xizong posthumously conferred the death of Huizong as the prince of Tianshui County and appointed Qinzong as the Duke of Tianshui County. In the second year of the imperial reign, the Song and Jin Dynasty had a peace talks, and the Southern Song Dynasty asked the Jin Dynasty to send back the coffin of Song Huizong.

However, the custom of the Jurchens was cremation, and the body of Song Huizong had been cremated, and the remains were in mass graves. It had been seven or eight years since then, and the Jin people went to find him the bones. So they used a piece of wood that was about the same weight as their coffin, which made people not think it was an empty coffin. However, Emperor Gaozong wanted to use this to comfort the people of the times, but he did not want to distinguish the authenticity, so he directly put a layer of coffin and the truth was hidden.

In real history, the Jurchens and the Southern Song Dynasty were destroyed by Mongolia. Yang Lianzhenjia robbed the imperial tomb and dug out the tomb of Emperor Gaozong. As a result, there was nothing in the coffin, and only a piece of rotten wood was a piece of this case. But now Zhao Bing prevented this catastrophe and the truth was hidden again. Of course, he was unwilling to be a mystery explorer, but only wished that this history would be sealed forever.

"What the official said is very much!" Lei Yan nodded thoughtfully. She also knew that even if she found out the truth and found that the empty coffin was buried in the imperial tomb, and the perpetrator had already passed away, so what could you do? There was no place to vent your anger, it was just that the royal family had more shame, so as His Majesty said, there was no meaning.
