Build a mountain ridge. According to the national custom of feudal society, after the new emperor ascended the throne, a mausoleum should be built within 1000 years. However, during the reign of Emperor Tongzhi 13, Hui Ling was buried with the Emperor Tongzhi before her death and never mentioned the mausoleum. It was not until the Tongzhi emperor died and was in urgent need of burial that Cixi had to send ministers to choose the mausoleum site for the Tongzhi emperor in Dongling and Xiling. In more than two months, Minister Du Xiang and his Feng Shui officials visited the mountains and rivers of Dongling and Xiling. After repeated comparison and screening, they finally think that the double valleys in Dongling and the Jiulong Valley in Xiling are the best feng shui. Dongling, with double valleys and dragons, the hall is wide and flat, Luocheng is thorough and the barriers are complete. "The back thought, before Venus thought. On both sides of Mount Venus, there is Qian Shan on the left and Xiangshan on the right, which is a real blessing.
In the 12th year of Guangxu (1886), on February 23rd, Cixi summoned Minister Du Xiang. Cixi inquired about Du Xiang's mausoleum in detail, which was decided by Prince Gong. It echoed. Finally, the focus is on whether to use the Double Valley in Dongling or the Jiulong Valley in Xiling. Cixi asked the ministers for advice, Yi? Back in the play, he said, "With reason, Kowloon Valley will be better; With feelings, I dare not speak under the prospect of Chen Huiling (provided by Xu Guangyuan). " Clearly revealed the intention of choosing double valleys. Hey? Among them, "reason" refers to the system of "learning from each other" stipulated by Emperor Qianlong. According to this system, Emperor Xianfeng has been buried in Dongling, and Emperor Tongzhi should be buried in Xiling. Hey? "Love" refers to the love between father and son, and the love between mother and child. Emperor Xianfeng's Dingling and Cixi's Bodhisattva Guding Dongling were both built in Dongling. If we care about this, let Joule kneel down. Emperor Tongzhi should be buried in Dongling. Hey? Very tactful and good at words. He obviously prefers to choose Shuanggu, but he said "I dare not say" in order to let Cixi make her own decision and avoid being accused of undermining the system of "Zhao Mu Xiang Jian". What a clever person Cixi is, she immediately understood the game. In my mind, I immediately decided to take Shuangshan Mountain Valley as Hui Ling's mausoleum site. Appoint the Prince of Alcohol? Yu Kuiling, Zuo Dushi, Rong Lu, assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Weng Tonghe, assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry, broke ground at noon on March 12th, the first year of Guangxu (1875), and started at noon on August 3rd. After three years of intense construction, it arrived in Hui Ling and Huifeiyuan in September of Guangxu 4th year (1878). Although the regulation of Hui Ling is not as good as that of the Qing Mausoleum in the past, its wood is hard and precious, so Huiling is known as the "copper beam and iron column".
The queen was buried. Emperor Tongzhi and Empress Xiaozhe were buried in Huiling Underground Palace on March 26th in the fifth year of Guangxu (1879). March 2 1 day, Zhusha Monument in Hui Ling, Guangxu.
Feng Taihou of the two palaces left Beijing for Dongling to attend the Fengan ceremony of Tongzhi Emperor and Empress. I arrived at Long Fu Temple in Dongling on 23rd and stayed there. On 24th, Emperor Tongzhi's Zigong and Empress Xiaozhe's Zigong moved to Hui Ling from the temporary security of Long Fu Temple. After seeing Emperor Guangxu off on his knees, he went to Hui Ling through the underground passage. After visiting the Fangcheng, the Ming Building and the Underground Palace, he knelt in front of the shrine to welcome Emperor Tongzhi and Empress Xiaozhe to Hui Ling. Both Zigong stopped at Long 'en Hall. On March 25th, Emperor Guangxu moved to Zigong, the Tongzhi Emperor. After the ceremony, he moved the two Zigong to Ludian in front of Fangcheng and put them on the dragon cart. At the beginning of the 26th year, Zi Gong, the Filial Piety Empress, and Zi Gong, the Tongzhi Emperor, were buried together in the underground palace. The tribute of Emperor Tongzhi was placed in the center of the coffin bed, and the tribute of Empress Xiaozhe was placed next to Emperor Tongzhi's left (east), with the coffin head facing north and the coffin tail facing south. Before the burial in Zigong, the suicide note and legacy of Emperor Tongzhi and Empress Xiaozhe were placed on the jewel seats of the left and right books in the underground palace. After the ministers withdrew from the underground palace, the imperial concubine Dunyi (that is, the ambassador Hui Cha) and others entered the underground palace to pay homage to the Emperor Tongzhi and the Filial Empress Zi Gong. With the Imperial Concubine Dunyi, there may be Yu Fei, Herseri Hala, Xunfei and Xi Lin Jue Roche who entered the underground palace. They made a final farewell with their husbands, the emperor and queen Arut. When the Tongzhi Emperor died, the oldest Yu Fei 19 years old, and the youngest imperial concubine Fu Chashi (Hui Fei) was only 16 years old. She has just entered the prime of life and started a long widowed life for decades. After Emperor Guifei of Dunyi and others withdrew from the underground palace, they made a ceremony at the stone altar. Cover the stone gate of the underground palace and the big burial will be completed.
The underground palace was stolen. The first robbery in Dongling, which shocked China and foreign countries, took place in July 1928. Sun Dianying, a warlord, robbed Emperor Qianlong's Yuling Underground Palace and Cixiling Underground Palace. 1In August, 945, after Japan surrendered, some bandits and lawless elements in Dongling took advantage of the turbulent situation and the chaos of regime change to create the second robbery in Dongling. The tombs stolen this time include Jingling of Emperor Kangxi, Dingling of Emperor Xianfeng, Hui Ling of Emperor Tongzhi and Ci 'an Mausoleum (Ding Dong Mausoleum of Pu Xiangyu). With so many grave robberies, the losses are even more serious than last time.
According to the World Journal reported on April 22nd in the thirty-fifth year of the Republic of China (1946), "In December of the thirty-fourth year, the Qing tombs were stolen. First of all, there are two coffins in Tongling, Tongzhi. A companion, a concubine, looks like life. There is Tongzhi Cuiyin 1 table and gold watch 1 block in front of the golden coffin. Jewelry, jade, metal and other products inside and outside the coffin are packed in sacks and then measured with a censer. Gold is about 20 kilograms. "
According to1North China Daily on May 29th, 935, Confessions of Huiling Thief is abbreviated as 1934 1 1 month. Under the command of the commander, civilian workers were recruited to dig Hui Ling and blast the stone gate with explosives. There are four shelves on the first floor, one on each side. On the one hand, there are the emperor's seal and the queen's seal, on the other hand, there are books and printing plates. There is nothing on the second and third floors. There are two coffins on the fourth floor. Split it with an axe and hammer, and take out a half-catty ink bottle, a four-liang gold bagua palm, an American gift gold watch with white beads on all sides that can be used for half a year, two strings of white beads on each side, two strings of twenty-four white beads, a green finger, a golden brazier and a green smoking bag from the imperial coffin.

Other odds and ends can't be counted. "
These funerary objects in the coffin of Empress Xiaozhe and the funerary objects in the coffin of Emperor Tongzhi were stolen.
After Hui Ling was stolen, because Dongling was left unattended at that time, it was not until 1952 that the Qing Dongling set up a cultural relics storage office that the theft was stopped. Because this hole has not been blocked for a long time, many locals have visited this underground palace. According to local legend, the body of the Queen of Hui Ling Underground Palace did not rot at all, and her face was lifelike. She was stripped naked, her stomach was cut open and her intestines spilled all over the floor. It is widely rumored in society that the queen swallowed gold and died. In order to get gold, they rolled her intestines from beginning to end. Poor queen arut. A hundred years after my death, I ended up like this.
