When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Chapter 91 The Emperor's Resentment Against Tomb Robbery and Archaeology
Yang Guang looked at his own grave.

It is seriously inconsistent with his status as an emperor.

The deaths in the Jiangdu Incident were considered abnormal deaths.

There would certainly be no prepared graves.

He almost died in the wilderness.

It was Empress Xiao who personally led people to make a rough coffin overnight using the lacquered wooden bed boards in the palace.

Yang Guang's body was collected and buried in Liuzhu Hall of Jiangdu Palace.

After Yu Wenzhi left Jiangdu, Yang Leng, the general guarding Jiangdu who had received great kindness from Yang Guang, publicly held a funeral for Yang Guang in order to repay Yang Guang.

Yang Guang's body was moved from Liuzhu Hall in Jiangdu Palace to the foot of Wu Palace.

The First Emperor and Lao Zhu spilled a bottle of wine.

Patting Yang Guang on the shoulder, he consoled him: "Actually, the surrounding scenery is pretty good. Burying here is a good choice!"

Zhu Di took out three incense sticks, lit them, and inserted them on Yang Guang's grave.

"Brother, don't worry, our sister-in-law has been rescued by us, so you can go with peace of mind!"

Yang Guang was very confused.

"Someone, take out my coffin."

A gust of wind blew by.

Zhu Ming couldn't help but wonder if he should light a candle in the southeast corner.

Carrying the coffin, the Four Emperors continued on their journey.

In the evening, several people were drinking. Yang Guang said with a bitter face: "Where do you think it would be best for me to bury him after I go back?"

Lao Zhu: "Your mausoleum should be under construction now, why don't you bury him there first."

"When the time comes, you can go in too, so you can keep me company!"

The First Emperor: "Old Yang's companion must be Empress Xiao. What's the point of burying two grown men together?"

Old Yang's mouth twitched, and he looked at Zhu Ming: "What are the tombs like in your place?"

Zhu Ming was stunned: "Are you going to bury him the way we do?"

Lao Yang nodded: "I have this idea."

Zhu Ming: "It's much simpler to use the method we use."

"After burning into ashes, put the ashes in a small box and bury them somewhere."

The wine glass in the hands of the Four Emperors fell.

"What, burn to ashes?"

"Really? Are you kidding me?"

"He is an emperor after all, so it would be convenient to just burn him to ashes and scatter his bones and ashes."

Zhu Ming: "Our burial method is different from yours. We are no longer allowed to use coffins."

"After death, the ashes will be burned in a special place and then placed in an urn."

"It saves time and effort, and is much better than digging a pit and building a mausoleum!"

"No matter how well you build your mausoleum, it cannot resist the erosion of time, let alone stop tomb robbers."

"Since ancient times, there have been so many imperial tombs, and few have not been visited by tomb robbers."

"The more things you bury, the more valuable they are, and the more attractive they are to tomb robbers!"

"You know, some people like to be buried wearing gold and silver, and they even want to have a piece of jade in their mouths!"

"Tomb robbers don't care who you are. They will take off what's on your body and take what's in your mouth out!"

"The more stuff you bury, the more carefully you dig it up, and in the end it's just too much to look at."

The Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum was under construction, and when he heard Zhu Ming's words, he immediately felt bad.

The plan for his imperial mausoleum was very grand.

The same was true for Yang Guang, who had already chosen a location for his imperial tomb.

Given his personality, he would definitely bury a lot of treasures.

Old Zhu frowned as he listened, and he also planned to start building a tomb for himself.

"Damn it! These tomb robbers deserve to die!"

"When we get back, we'll make a special law. Anyone who dares to rob a tomb will have their property confiscated and their entire family exterminated!"

Zhu Ming sneered: "I can't even eat, who cares about this?"

"Moreover, in ancient times, there were armies that specialized in this, and they were called official bandits!"

"At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were some rebel kings. They had no money. What should they do? They found a big tomb and borrowed some money."

"You've seen it in our area. It's normal to come across a few graves when digging the foundation for the subway."

"When they were building the subway in Guanzhong, they unearthed hundreds of ancient tombs."

"Old Yang, the rumor on the internet about your grave was that it was dug up by a real estate owner when he was building a house."

"Besides, the boss's name is Yang Yong."

Old Yang jumped up from the stool:

"What did you say? My grave was dug up?"

"It's still a guy called Yang Yong!"

"How could it be such a coincidence?"

Yang Guang's elder brother was named Yang Yong. He competed with Yang Guang for the throne and was eventually killed by Yang Guang.

Zhu Ming: "With the passage of time, the environment around the cemetery may have changed a lot."

"It seems that above your grave, Old Yang, there was a family's manure pit before it was demolished, and it became a garbage dump during the demolition and reconstruction."

Veins popped out on Old Yang’s forehead.

"That's unreasonable!"

Zhu Ming: "It's normal. When I was a kid, I went to the fields of other villagers to visit graves. I was quite surprised at the time. Why do we go to the fields to visit graves?"

“I didn’t know until I grew up that there was a cemetery on that field.”

"Later, after unified planning, we moved to the new tomb and no longer had to go to the fields."

“Many schools are built on former cemeteries.”

“My private elementary school used to be a mass grave.”

The First Emperor couldn't help but ask, "After the tomb was discovered, what did you do?"

Zhu Ming: "If we are lucky and nothing is destroyed, we will protect it."

"If you're unlucky, and it's damaged, we'll do some rescue work."

"It looks like Old Yang's grave. We accidentally dug it up."

"There will definitely be rescue operations. An archaeological team will conduct excavations, carefully dig out all the funerary objects, and build a memorial hall or something."

"As for Old Yang, it seems that only two teeth are left, which are placed there and attract many tourists. As for the body, it has been lost for a long time!"

"Brother Zheng, you are lucky. They didn't excavate the whole thing. They just unearthed some terracotta warriors and horses, etc. They have now become a tourist attraction!"

"Brother Zheng, if you want to see your own tomb, I will take you to visit it then."

"The purpose of some unearthed cultural relics is still unclear."

Old Yang heard that he only had two teeth left.

Also on display.

He was furious and furious.

I really want to behead everyone who digs my grave.

The First Emperor didn't feel well either.

My own cemetery has become a tourist attraction.

The First Emperor knew that the scenic spots in Zhu Ming were places for people to visit.

"Isn't it that someone drinks at my grave every day?"

Old Zhu wanted to ask himself, but saw that both Qin Shi Huang and Yang Guang had been dug out.

I thought about it and didn't dare to ask.

Afraid of hearing something that would raise my blood pressure!

Unexpectedly, Zhu Ming smiled and said, "Old Zhu, you can also visit your tomb. You should know that the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty once burned incense and poured wine on you!"

Old Zhu was furious after hearing this.

"What? That guy with a big braid is burning incense and pouring wine for us. Do we care about his incense?"

"He has seized the Ming Dynasty and still expects us to protect his Qing Dynasty!"

"When we get back, we'll send troops to destroy all the Jurchens!"

Zhu Ming took out his cell phone and searched for it.

Ever since I was able to travel through time and space back to ancient times.

Zhu Ming specifically downloaded some documentaries.

Many of them are about the tombs of ancient emperors.

"Come, let me show you how we protect the ancient tomb."

"Look at the gold and silver treasures you buried with your loved ones. What has become of them after a thousand years?"

"It is a complete waste that causes a lot of property to flow underground."

"It would be better to create more murals, carve some words to record my life, or bury some books that record the social culture of the time, so that future generations can study it more conveniently."

The four emperors including Li Jiancheng gathered around.

See the coffin being opened.

Many researchers were cleaning with small brushes.

Each artifact, bone, etc. was cleaned and placed in the exhibition hall for people to see.

Several people's faces turned green.

The First Emperor shouted angrily: "Fuck it! The imperial mausoleum is not going to be built anymore. It would be better to burn it down and leave nothing to chance!"

Yang Guang's forehead was bulging with veins: "I don't want to build it anymore, otherwise it will be dug out one day and become a tourist check-in place."

Old Zhu agreed: "We had planned to start construction next year, but now it seems unnecessary. Let's just erect a stone tablet and not bury any treasures with the deceased to prevent them from being stolen or being played with by others."

Zhu Di nodded: "It is better to save this money and go to war."

Zhu Ming was shocked: "No, this will reduce the number of tourist attractions and museums."

"And you must leave some writings behind for future generations to study."

"Otherwise, how can we know the magnificent history of Yanhuang?"

Li Jiancheng: "It seems that I have to tell my father when I go back. It seems that my father has plans to build a mausoleum."

The army continued to advance.

Most of the granaries along the river were moved.

Li Jiancheng followed the whole process.

After this trip, the territory occupied was much larger than that of the current Tang Dynasty.

Pieces of intelligence were placed on Li Yuan's desk.

Li Yuan couldn't stop smiling.

Originally, I was worried about how to unify the world.

Today, several stronger separatist forces have been dealt with, and some have even been destroyed.

The Tang Dynasty expanded its territory several times without spending any soldiers.

"It seems I have to write a history book for my cousin and repair his tomb at the same time."

"Even if we take him back to the Sui Dynasty for burial, we still need to leave a grave here to commemorate him."

"It's my way of expressing my gratitude!"

"You can bury more treasures!"

Li Shimin looked at the information in his hand and his whole body turned purple with envy.

The few pieces of territory that I fought so hard to conquer for the Tang Dynasty were not as much gained as what my eldest brother gained by just going out for a walk.

There's no comparison at all.

The military achievements that he was so proud of were no longer worthy of carrying shoes for his elder brother. Especially the eastern capital Luoyang, which became the property of the Tang Dynasty without any effort.

It can be said that the world situation has been determined!
"Damn it! Why am I in charge of the distribution of food and fodder at home? This is what the eldest brother should do."

Li Yuanji looked at the information and felt envious.

I thought to myself that my brother was safe this time.

It would be great if I could have these achievements.

Maybe he could even become a prince.

Li Yuan of the Sui Dynasty has been living a very comfortable life recently.

Even when Emperor Li Yuan of Tang had a headache, he went to the dragon throne to feel it.

Unfortunately, this is the Tang Dynasty.

I have to go back eventually.

Today, I received an order from Lao Yang.

Prepare to return to the Sui Dynasty.

Send all four emperors back to their respective dynasties.

Emperor Tang Li Yuan looked at the territory in his hands and said: "Haha, soon, the whole world will be in my hands!"

Yang Guang returned to the Sui Dynasty.

He came to the palace with Empress Wude Xiao, the royal children and a coffin.

It was seen by many ministers.

It is normal to meet Old Yang and Empress Xiao.

But with a coffin.

That's a bit abnormal.

They all looked at the coffin with puzzled eyes.

It can be seen that the coffin was dug out from the ground.

Is it that the emperor is becoming a tomb robber, or does he want to whip the minister's corpse?

Either way, it's not polite.

The Minister of Rites asked, "Your Majesty, what is this coffin?"

Old Yang looked at the ministers in front of him.

I've seen some of them at Dou Jiande's before.

I saw quite a few in the Tang Dynasty.

I also saw some in Wang Shichong's Zheng State.

"This is my coffin, and inside is my body!"

The ministers present looked at each other in bewilderment.

Your Majesty must be ill.

Old Yang looked at the minister's caring eyes and said sternly
"What are you thinking? Inside is Yang Guang from another dynasty, who was killed by rebels and buried too casually."

"I will take it back to the Sui Dynasty and prepare to bury it again."

The ministers were stunned and all looked angry.

"What? He was killed by thieves!"

"Your Majesty, please tell me who the thief is, and I will bring him here right away."

"You dare to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, you are really tired of living!"

Yang Guang snorted coldly:
"Don't worry, my dear ministers. The thief is now under close surveillance."

"Let me tell you how to deal with my body!"

The Minister of Rites was confused, as he had never experienced such a thing before.

"Your Majesty, would you like to place it in the imperial mausoleum that is being built?"

The other ministers thought it was okay.

It’s all Yang Guang anyway.

At that time, the two Yang Guangs can be together and still keep each other company.

Old Yang narrowed his eyes and said, "Although he is also me, I don't want to share a room with another man after I die."

The Minister of Rites was puzzled: "Are we going to build another imperial mausoleum?"

Xiao Yu: "Building the imperial mausoleum is a waste of money and manpower. It would be better to open another tomb chamber in the imperial mausoleum that is currently under construction and bury him there according to the imperial rites."

Pei Ju: "You can bury more treasures. The Western Regions countries just sent a batch of treasures a few days ago."

Old Yang shook his head: "Do you know anything about archaeology?"

The ministers were confused and all shook their heads.

Said he had never heard of it.

Old Yang continued to ask: "Do you know about tomb robbers?"

The ministers present hated the tomb robbers with gnashing teeth.

After all, they are in high positions.

From a noble family.

Each of them has a rich family background.

When a person is buried, a lot of things will be buried with him.

Naturally, they will be targeted by tomb robbers.

Yang Guang continued, "I know something about what happened next."

"Tomb robbers are prevalent, forming several major factions."

"Every one of them is a master tomb robber!"

"The tombs of emperors, princes, generals and ministers are all in his hands."

"The more people are buried with the dead, the greater the chance of being visited."

"I have decided that from now on, no member of the Sui imperial family will be allowed to be buried with any gold or silver treasures."

Su Wei looked worried: "Your Majesty, is this against etiquette?"

"Every dynasty in the past had a large number of burial objects!"

"If there is no tomb in the Sui Dynasty, wouldn't it be a joke if someone dug it up and saw the empty tomb?"

Old Yang was so upset when he heard this: "Are you really looking forward to the tombs of the Sui Dynasty being dug up?"

Su Wei: "Your Majesty, didn't you just say that the tombs of emperors, princes, generals and ministers were basically all robbed?"

"Do you want to place some valuables in the tomb and make some notes?"

"Give them the treasures, but do not destroy the tomb."

Old Yang laughed angrily:
"You dug up my grave and asked me to give you money as a bribe?"

"I have already made up my mind. There is no need to build the imperial mausoleum. What we have dug up now is enough."

"From today on, the Imperial Family of the Great Sui Dynasty will follow the funeral method of later generations and perform cremation!"

The ministers present felt a little confused again.

"Your Majesty, can you tell me how the later generations were buried?"

"What is cremation?"

Yang Guang paused. To be honest, he didn't know much, he just knew that it was burned to ashes.

He winked at Zhu Ming.

Zhu Ming took out his cell phone, but there was no signal.

"Wait for me for a few minutes!"

Back to modern times, the signal is instantly full.

Zhu Ming searched for it.

Appear in front of everyone again.

"The customs in different places are different. I will talk about the customs in my hometown."

"My son kept vigil overnight and took the body for cremation the next day."

"We have a special crematorium there. We burn the ashes into ashes and put them in a small box. People come to pay their respects, hold a farewell ceremony, and then the funeral will be held."

"Before dawn on the third day, go to a chosen place and bury it."

Xiao Yu took a breath of cold air: "Are you going to burn people to ashes?"

Zhu Ming: “It’s like this where we are now.”

The ministers looked at each other.

This is the first time I heard that people should be burned to ashes.

Pei Rong: "Your Majesty, this is really against etiquette. Please think twice."

Lao Yang had already thought about it. He didn't want to be put on display behind the counter.

Besides, the timing is good now.

The one who died was Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, which was enough in terms of status.

But it is not from my own time and space.

If it were me, my children and grandchildren would dare to do this.

He will definitely be criticized to death by people all over the world.

Old Yang: "In the future, I learned a word: keep pace with the times."

"Since later generations do this, there must be a reason."

"My funeral will be held like this."

"Also, find a stonemason to carve more mural texts to tell the story of his life."

"Make some cloth, leave more biographies, etc."

"Li Yuan, I leave this matter to you!"

Li Yuan knew that this matter would definitely fall on him: "I obey your order!"

Old Yang said to Zhu Ming, "We are not familiar with your procedures. How about letting you preside over the funeral ceremony this time?"

Zhu Ming was stunned for a moment: "Let me preside over your funeral?"

“I haven’t done this before.”

Old Yang: "Once is new, twice is familiar. You will get used to it after doing it a few times. I will ask the Ministry of Rites to cooperate with you."

"Don't worry, I will give you a great credit for presiding over my funeral!"

Zhu Ming: "Okay, you go and notify some relatives, and I'll go back and pick up the three elementary school students."

"We have to hurry. There's a smell inside the coffin."

Old Yang: "Then let's start tomorrow. I'll ask my children to come back as soon as possible to attend their father's funeral."

Zhu Ming: "Sure, you guys can prepare some white cloth, paper figurines, wreaths, etc."

"By the way, do you want to notify Lao Zhu and the others?"

Lao Yang: “Sure!”

Hongwu Ming Dynasty.

Old Zhu was surprised and said, "Attending Old Yang's funeral, OK, but what should I bring with me?"

Zhu Ming: "Bring a wreath, and don't forget to bring money!"

"Otherwise you won't be allowed to eat at the banquet!"

Yongle Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di stroked his chin and said, "Attend my elder brother's funeral. Please allow me to prepare."

Daqin
The First Emperor sent someone to prepare a wreath and returned with Zhu Ming, taking several important officials with him.

Four elementary school students returned home.

Zhu Ming: "You three come with me to attend your grandfather's funeral."
