No wonder no one can find the imperial tomb, and even the people in the court know very little about the location of the imperial tomb.

It turns out that the imperial tomb is among such mountains!

This mountain is unique, with the surrounding cliffs towering, surrounding one of the mountains, and the green rivers flowing in the canyon ahead, naturally forming a majestic mountain mausoleum.

Such a place is really hard to choose.

Not only was I stunned, but Miaoyan also stared at her. Almost half of her body stretched out of the carriage window, staring at the shrine that seemed endless and the towering mountain, sighing, "That's our imperial tomb."

I whispered, "Yes, that's the imperial tomb of your Pei family."

As soon as I finished saying this, I heard a sound. It turned out that the elite soldiers standing on both sides of the shrine knelt down at this time. I looked up and saw an official leading a team of thousands of people towards us, walking towards us, and walked dozens of feet away from Pei Yuanhao's car, and then took them all to kneel down.

"My memory, I worship Zhang Gongji in the sacrificial office, and pay homage to the emperor. Long live my emperor!"

When he spoke, the people behind him also followed him and shouted long live. The sound echoed among the mountains, giving a particularly shocking feeling.

I vaguely heard Pei Yuanhao's voice coming from the golden car: "Let's flat."

Then Zhang Gongji slowly stood up and bowed and bowed, "I am ordered to guard the imperial tomb. There are three sacrificial ministers in this place, 4,721 households and 12,600 imperial tomb guards. Please review it."

At this time, Pei Yuanhao slowly stood up from the gold car.

Behind Zhang Gongji, there were indeed three officials from the eighth rank, who were the three sacred ministers he mentioned. More than twenty rituals stood behind them in three rows, saluting Pei Yuanhao. The rest of the Linghu and the imperial guards were still kneeling on the ground and unable to get up.

From this perspective, it was a bit amazing.

He actually called out all the people here.

Pei Yuanhao said, "You all get up. I came here suddenly this time. Did you scare you too?"

Zhang Gongji hurriedly leaned over and said, "I dare not. I am ordered to guard the imperial tomb, and I have always been thinking of the emperor's wiseness."

Pei Yuanhao said: "A few days ago, Huangkao's coffin has been delivered. This time I came, not only to escort the coffin of the concubine Ruling, but also to worship Huangkao and his ancestors."

"I understand."

"You ask all your people to go down and prepare, and tomorrow, you will have a great worship ceremony."

"yes."

Pei Yuanhao nodded, looked at the magistrates behind him again, was silent for a moment, and then said, "I have to rest first."

Zhang Gongji hurriedly asked the people behind him to come forward to pick up the whip. Our convoy did not go to Shinto, but turned to the other side and entered another path.

After about half an hour of leaving, gradually, some houses and neat streets and shops began to appear. This was where the imperial guards and magistrates lived.

Although the place where more than 10,000 people live is a garrison, they also have to live. Besides, there are so many people, it is enough to form several lively towns.

We walked to the intersection and got off the bus. The first thing we saw was a piece of pink flowers. There were also many flowers in the village. The smell of sand and dust in the air was covered by the fragrance of flowers. At first glance, people thought that they were in the south of the Yangtze River in March, and the scenery was very charming.

When Miaoyan saw such a beautiful scene, she was also excited and jumped out of the car.

I also got out of the car with her, and saw a familiar figure walking down from the carriage in front of me. It was Pei Ningyuan. In the past few days, he has been fasting quietly, making people forget his existence.

After two days and nights, he had almost no rest, and his face showed a tired look, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he and everyone almost forgot the fatigue brought by the dust along the way. After worshipping Zhang Gongji, he walked ahead and led us slowly forward through the flowers, there was a fertile field.

Although it is natural to transport food in the northwest hinterland of this place, it is still a bit difficult after all, so they naturally have to reclaim land and be self-sufficient in this place. But it is not bad here, because there is a canyon not far ahead, with endless rivers, warm air, and irrigation of the land, so when you blink, it is green and green, which makes people shine.

Zhang Gongji held a map and pointed at it while explaining. We could roughly understand it next to us. There were four towns in this place, scattered in the northeast, southeast, northwest and southwest of the imperial tombs, with frequent intermarriage and trade.

Pei Yuanhao walked all the way, watched all the way, and finally walked to a palace.

Of course, it was prepared for the royal family to come here to worship.

However, this palace is much smaller and relatively simpler than the palaces we saw in other places in the past. It is rare to have a river running through it, which brings a little spiritual energy. Zhang Gongji had already made people prepare in advance, so Pei Yuanhao moved into Yishou Hall in the center of the palace. Miaoyan and I lived in the Magnolia Hall next to him, while Qinghan and Pei Ningyuan lived in the Wanyun Hall on the other side.

Originally, Zhang Gongji had prepared a banquet, but Pei Yuanhao was no longer energetic at this time, so he didn't have to hold a banquet. He just ate some things and then took a rest.

I took Miaoyan to the Magnolia Hall first, and looked back at Zhang Gongji who was ordered to go to Yishou Hall with Pei Yuanhao. I knew that the emperor should have something to explain to him, so I asked someone to guard the door. When Zhang Gongji came out, I came in and reported it, and I took Miaoyan to change her clothes first.

Miaoyan said while changing her clothes: "Mom, it turns out that the imperial tomb looks like that."

I smiled and said, "What do you look like?"

"So big!"

"How could your ancestors be worshipped there not be big?"

"But why should the imperial tomb be so far away?"

My hand that was originally folding her clothes stopped for a moment, and Miaoyan said, "Just like the Taimiao, right next to the imperial city, you can go at any time when you want to go to sacrifices. Why does the imperial tomb have to be built so far? If you walk from the capital, you may have to walk for several months."

“…”

Yes, it would take several months to walk from the capital to the imperial tomb.

This is indeed a bit incredible.

Although the moment I saw the imperial tomb, I was indeed shocked by the majestic momentum. The Feng Shui in this place is good, but looking back, there is no place in the Central Plains that is better than this Feng Shui. In Xi'an Prefecture alone, I can find a better Feng Shui treasure land than here. Why is Pei Yuanhao's ancestors - to be precise, Emperor Gao, who chose to build the imperial tomb in this place.

If we don’t just consider Feng Shui, there is another point that is - the place where dragons rise.

Is this place the dragon-rise place of the Pei clan?

I haven't heard of this before.

Didn’t they come in from outside the pass? It was the Eight Heavenly Kings of Shengjing who supported them in the battle against the Central Plains. It seemed that the northwest side had not been completely recovered so far. This place should not be their place of dragon prosperity.

Is there any other special reason?

"Mom, what are you thinking?"

Miaoyan's voice sounded in his ears, pulling me out of my contemplation. When I looked back, she was looking at me with wide eyes. I immediately smiled reluctantly and said, "It's okay, I think it's strange."

"I want to ask my father--"

"If you want to ask this, you will ask after the worship tomorrow. Remember, don't make your father angry."

"I understand."

After she finished changing her clothes, I ate some food with her to relieve the heat. After resting for a while, the maid came in to report that Zhang Gongji had come out of the emperor's Yishou Hall.

When I heard this, I hurriedly told Miaoyan to stay in the room, and then walked out.

As soon as I went out, I happened to see Zhang Gongji slowly walking out of Yishoutang. When he left the gate, he turned around and ran into me. He was stunned for a moment, but obviously knew my identity. He immediately smiled and bowed to me: "Ms. Yan."

"Mr. Zhang."

I also bowed to him. Zhang Gongji is a worship of the imperial tomb. Although he is an official, he has been away from the central government for a long time and only guards one imperial tomb. Anyone with discerning eyes knows that if such a person is not guilty and has to be appointed here, there are some special reasons.

But when I see Zhang Gongji's expression doesn't look like the former.

He looked about forty years old, but his hair was gray, but his expression seemed very natural, neither happy nor angry, and he seemed to have not been scolded by the emperor just now, and he didn't even care much about some things outside.

He seemed to know a little about my identity, calling me "Miss Yan", and was respectful to me and acted properly. I smiled and said, "I want to ask Lord Zhang about some things, but I don't know if it will cause trouble."

Zhang Gongji immediately said, "Miss Yan is so kind."

I said, "How long have Lord Zhang been guarding the imperial tomb?"

"It's been more than ten years."

"Oh, since he is a leader, Lord Zhang naturally knows everything about this place, including the people here, the Linghu and the Imperial Mausoleum."

Zhang Gongji glanced at me, smiled, but didn't answer this.

I said, "I don't know if there are any strangers coming to the Imperial Mausoleum these days."

Zhang Gongji glanced at me and said, "Yes."

When I heard this, I hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

Zhang Gongji said: "Miss Yan."

“…”

"Miss Yan, isn't she just a stranger who came to the imperial tomb?"
