When a passerby becomes a princess

Among all Liang Honglie's sons, the third son born to Concubine Song Guifei can be said to be the most talented. He is not only proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also his collection of poems is even more popular, and even caused the capital to be expensive.

After the death of the third son of the emperor, he was buried in the royal cemetery. Many young students came to pay homage to him on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, and it was discovered that his body was burned by a few students who came to pay homage to him.

It stands to reason that there should be guards patrolling the royal cemetery every day, and the theft of the third son's tomb should not be discovered by outsiders anyway.But this is why things are so strange. The guards of the Imperial Mausoleum had just conducted a routine inspection that morning, and then the handyman came to clean it. During this period, no abnormalities were found.Only half an hour later, a few students came to worship. The guards of the imperial mausoleum knew that these people would come to pay homage to the third son of the emperor on the [-]th of every month, so they sent two people to enter the cemetery with them. In front of the third son's tomb, it was found that the door of the tomb was open, and there was still faint black smoke coming out of it.

The two guards who followed did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly informed the leader, who was so frightened that he almost slipped off the chair. If something happened to the tomb of the emperor's third son, his head would fall to the ground.

Hastily led people to the tomb of the third son of the emperor, those students had already scared away, only to see the door of the tomb more than one foot thick fell inward on the ground, and there was a burnt smell in the air.When the chief led two guards into the tomb to check, his hands and feet were so frightened that the coffin on the stone bed in the main room had turned into a huge black charcoal, and sparks were still crackling in some places.

The leader knew that this matter could not be concealed, so he could only lead people to fight the fire while sending people to report to the emperor.

And all this was also spread among those few students, and soon everyone in the capital knew about it.

"This must have been done by the Chen family for revenge."

Almost everyone thought so, and even Liang Honglie had this idea, but it was just that.

Chen Haofu is a very pragmatic person. Although Chen Fei's death made him angry, he will never lose his mind. What he thinks most now must be how to get more benefits from this matter.As for Chen Jian, although Liang Honglie didn't know Chen Jian's feelings for Concubine Chen, he knew Chen Jian. Even if Chen Jian took revenge, he would only target Concubine Song and the Song family. People sympathize with Concubine Song and let herself stand under a dangerous wall. Chen Jian, who has always been shrewd, would not do this.

So who did it?

The destruction of the prince's mausoleum is more than just a slap in the face of the royal family. If the principal culprit is not found out and dealt with severely, it will shake the foundation of the country and cause chaos.Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate all came out to inspect the interior and surroundings of the tomb of the third son of the emperor in detail.The next day, the survey report was placed in front of the emperor.

What surprised Liang Honglie was that the thieves didn't break open the door of the tomb to enter from the outside, they probably opened the door from the inside.

There is a tradition in Daliang State that "the dead are treated as the living", and the tombs of the common people are usually mounds and monuments.Officials and officials built stone mounds of different sizes and erected monuments according to their grades.

The royal family is a little more complicated. Judging from the extravagance of the emperor's tombs, some of them are simply jaw-droppingly luxurious. Not only are the tombs huge and magnificent, but also the burial objects are scary, and some even use living people to be buried with them.The second class of princes and princesses usually consists of tomb passages made of huge bluestones and left and right palaces.Whether it is the luxurious emperor's mausoleum or the tombs of other members of the royal family, a huge stone gate is used to seal off the tomb. Outside the stone gate is a sacrificial pavilion, which is used for daily offerings and public worship.

The tomb door of the prince's mausoleum is about one and a half feet thick. When the tomb door is closed after the coffin is placed, a huge stone ball will roll down behind the tomb door and be embedded in a stone groove to withstand the tomb door. Push the tomb door open from the outside, and the inside is covered with thick bluestone. As long as the guards of the imperial tomb make daily inspections, the possibility of being stolen is basically eliminated.

But now the stone ball that sneaked into the groove has been removed, which can only be done from the inside of the tomb.

Who is in the tomb?The third son of the emperor, Liang Su, although he is already a dead man.

Liang Honglie sat on the top of the hall, looking at the ministers below. Wherever his eyes moved, the ministers there couldn't help shrinking their necks. It's really never seen the emperor's face so gloomy, but thinking about it, it's true. If someone killed not only his unborn child, but also his dead son, he would probably want to kill someone.

"Your Majesty, I have something to announce." Chen Jian said with a bow.

Almost all the ministers are praying, it must be a good thing, if there is any trouble, the emperor will definitely kill.

"Say." There was a deep chill in Liang Honglie's voice.

It's a pity that Chen Jian didn't understand the prayers of the officials at all, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty Qizuo, a few days ago, a servant of the minister found a few privately minted copper coins in the market. It turned out that I couldn’t find it. I took out all the copper coins in the house and checked, and found that two out of ten coins were minted privately. I ask your Majesty to investigate this matter carefully.”

Liang Honglie was startled. There are still so many privately minted copper coins. Thinking of what the queen said to him before, someone is targeting the business of suppressing domestic funds. Could it be that...

"This matter will be investigated and dealt with by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of Household Affairs." Liang Honglie narrowed his eyes. When he rebelled, he crawled out of the sea of ​​corpses. How could he stumble on such a matter? "Retire."

Back in the Imperial Study Room, the first thing Liang Honglie did was to recall Liang Xi. If he guessed correctly, those people would take his only son for surgery next.As for the Crown Princess, Liang Honglie never worried at all. It wasn't that he didn't care about the daughter-in-law, but that he didn't need to worry about the safety of the daughter-in-law.

At the same time that Liang Honglie issued the order to recall the prince, another spy's body was thrown into the huge furnace of Jingci Temple in the south of the capital city.

A female nun in her 30s looked at the fire in the furnace, yawned, and said to the little nun next to her, "Watch the fire carefully. This is the life-saving medicine for Xiaoqiu."

The little nun was only eleven or twelve years old, and she still had some baby fat on her face. She tilted her head slightly, looked at the spy's corpse in the hearth, and said, "Master, this corpse is on fire, don't throw it away casually next time." Things go in, it’s a waste of firewood.”

The nun raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm too lazy to throw it to the back mountain. Besides, the wolves in the back mountain have been eating this kind of food recently. I'm afraid they will lose their appetite."

The little nun laughed, showing two small dimples on her cheeks, and said, "That's right, Big Hui and they are very picky."

While talking, an old nun came in and said, "Second Miss, the Eldest Miss is here."

The nun rolled her eyes when she heard this, and said, "Nurse, how many times have I told you that you want me to preside over it, and you want to call her Mrs. Lin."

The old nun laughed, and said: "Yes, host. However, you should also call me Mrs. Jingfeng."

The nun laughed and walked out.
