First of all, some people think that this is to delay the burial time for the Queen Mother. Cixi lived a life of arrogance and extravagance, and everyone knew that "exhibition" must be valued after death. The cotton mattress made of gold silk is inlaid with thousands of precious jewels such as pearls, precious stones and white jade. She was covered with a golden Dalagni quilt with more than 20,000 characters woven on it. Dalagonian scriptures and 820 pearls; A pearl on the rockhopper weighs 4 taels and is worth110 million taels of silver. In addition, there are many rare and peculiar treasures as interesting funerary objects. After all, these "rare things" are not underground. "Chinese cabbage" needs some time to collect and prepare.
The second reason is that when Cixi was seriously ill, she called Shixiang County to choose a good day for burial, and finally chose a year later. The third person said that at that time, Cixi spent huge financial and material resources to build her own underground palace, but after her death, the mausoleum was not completed, and the underground palace would not be completed for another year. At that time, the golden coffin in Cixi was first preserved in Ningshoutang, and then moved to Meishan for sacrifice. It took a long time to preserve the body without the ancient technology. Cixi's body began to rot, giving off an unpleasant smell. In order to cover up this strange smell, eunuch Li sent someone to buy a lot of spices and put them on the headscarf on the golden coffin. You can smell it from more than ten meters away. Smell.
1909165438+1October 9, finally can be buried. At that time, under the command of Li, * * * 2 16 high-waisted man was transported to Cixi with coffin and other etiquette supplies, and set out for Dongling in a mighty way. People from the capital came to the streets to witness this grand occasion. According to the plan, it will take Li five days to reach his destination, but one day later, he found a "strange" thing.
During the movement of the golden coffin, a large amount of red liquid dripped from it, probably the blood of Cixi. The next day, all the way was permeated with blood, which looked terrible. Li Linying ordered another man to sneak in. The players went to the back and wiped the blood with dirt. Finally, after waiting for other players to enter the night, I thought that Li Taihou had arranged the coffin and secretly opened the golden coffin of Cixi. So Cixi's rotten coffin saw Li's eyes for the first time. Then, the body resists the suffocating smell and looks for the cause of bleeding.
As it turns out, there are more than a dozen dead mice in the corner of the coffin, and all of them bleed to death. Blood seeped into the bottom of the golden coffin and dripped on the ground. Obviously, the blood was not caused by the body of Cixi. Li quickly cleaned up the dead mouse and closed the coffin. The next day, there was no more blood in the coffin. Li has been thinking about the origin of these mice. Later, the investigation found that it was the fault of spices. In order to cover up the odor, many spices were purchased to suppress the odor. Many of these spices have "poisonous rat scent", which attracts many rats. Finally, all the mice climbed into the golden coffin of Cixi. But it's easy to get in. It's hard to get out. On the day of the funeral, after the coffin lid was nailed, the air in the coffin was exhausted and the mouse suffocated. This is a terrible sight of blood dripping from the coffin. After finding out the reason, Li was afraid of it. After being punished, he strictly blocked the news and dared not tell the truth until after his death.
