Yes, after Cixi's death, she was buried in Zunhua Underground Palace in Hebei Province in October of the first year of Xuantong (1909 1 15). Only 20 years later, countless legends about the treasures of Cixi Mausoleum actually attracted warlords and bandits to destroy coffins and throw bodies! In the early years of the Republic of China, warlord Sun Dianying gathered a group of bandits, gamblers and cigarette dealers to form a team to dominate the party. In order to gain more power, Sun Dianying went to Dingxiangling, the commander of the National Unification, Ye Quan and others, and then to Zhang Zongchang, a bandit. He was deeply appreciated by Zhang and was appointed as a teacher. Sun Dianying transformed itself into a rogue military group by various despicable means. Later, Sun Dianying led the troops to fight the Kuomintang, which was very favorable at first. Later, seeing that the situation was not good, he surrendered to Chiang Kai-shek and was appointed as the commander of the twelfth army of the sixth corps, stationed in Zunhua, Hebei. The spring of 1928 was a chaotic year in which warlords fought and the people were miserable. Sun Dianying's officers and men have not been paid for half a year, and their morale is fluctuating, even in danger of mutiny. Just when Sun Dianying had to think about the "antidote", Ma Futian, a bandit who was collected by the former army, defected and deliberately dug graves and stole treasures in Zunhua County for a long time. Sun Dianying then played the heart of injustice-grave robbery. He immediately ordered Tan Wenjiang, the eighth division commander, to drive Ma Futian away overnight. At the same time, through the mouth of a eunuch who had served Cixi, Tan Wenjiang learned that there were a large number of rare treasures buried in Cixi's tomb in Ding Dong Mausoleum, and copied the Notes on Love Moon Xuan, the Treasure Map of Cixi's Burial and the Picture of Mourning after Filial Piety, Sending Clothes Edition and Appreciating Clothes from the eunuch's hand to find out the situation. Tan Wenjiang put forward suggestions to Sun Dianying to rob Cixi's tomb. Sun Dianying, afraid of leaking secrets, posted notices everywhere, claiming that the troops would engage in military exercises, set up security around the cemetery, and outsiders were not allowed to enter, and began a planned grave robbery. Before the grave robbery, Sun Dianying sent a letter to Zunhua county magistrate, asking Zunhua county to hire more than 30 mules and horses on behalf of him, so as to transport rations from other places and make final preparations for the grave robbery. 1On the afternoon of July 4th, 928, the tomb of Cixi began to be stolen, and the rare case of the warlord Sun Dianying stealing the tomb began. It is said that the company commander who once participated in the grave robbery recalled in Miscellanies of Shizaitang that Sun Dianying led troops to rob Ding Dong Mausoleum, Putuo Valley of Empress Dowager Cixi, and the engineering barracks that were dug everywhere in the mausoleum for two days and two nights but failed to find the entrance to the underground palace. Sun Dianying used his quick wits and ordered the kidnapping of Sue, the minister of protecting the mausoleum. Under the threat of death, the old man identified the entrance to the underground palace of Cixi Mausoleum. It turns out that behind the tall building, there is a "dumb courtyard". It is said that all the craftsmen recruited are dumb to prevent workers from revealing engineering secrets. In the glass screen wall to the north of the dumb house, under the screen wall is the tunnel entrance. So that night, dozens of soldiers waved picks and shovels under the glass screen behind the Ming building and opened the entrance to the underground palace on July 7. It was the night of July 9, and we went through many checkpoints in the cave and went deep into the mausoleum. The main tomb of Cixi is a stone room paved entirely with white marble, with a white marble platform in the middle, that is, the "treasure bed". Above the stone platform, there is a huge coffin, which is Zigong of Empress Dowager Cixi. On the two stone piers on both sides, there are incense treasures and album pages recording Cixi posthumous title. Sun Dianying was very happy when he heard that Cixi's coffin was found. He ordered the head of the engineering corps and Liu's adjutant to lead more than 20 soldiers to open the coffin and take out the treasure. Under the light, Cixi's huge coffin was glittering and resplendent. Coffins are made of precious gold coffins. After the death of Cixi, craftsmen covered it with gold paint. On the gold lacquer, the Lama wrote the classics of the four heavenly kings in Tibetan. The inside of the golden coffin is covered with red paint and gold, and the inside and outside are covered with gold-inlaid Tibetan scriptures. The lid of the coffin is engraved with nine patterns, including group buddhas. In a short time, the golden outer coffin was split by a knife and axe. The bandit soldiers removed the broken coffin to reveal the red painted coffin inside. In order to prevent the treasures in the coffin from being damaged by knives and axes. And Liu's adjutant ordered several soldiers to carefully cut several rectangular gaps under the coffin lid with sharp axes. The pickaxe reached into the gap and pried it a few times, revealing the gap on the coffin lid. The soldiers inserted their bayonets neatly into the gap. The coffin lid was quickly pried open by bayonets and sharp axes, and the bones and treasures in the coffin were covered by a thin layer of catalpa "seven-star board", which was a soft and shiny net bead quilt. When the net beads were lifted, the colorful treasures in the coffin sparkled, and under the light, the jewels were dazzling, and the whole underground chamber also lit up. In the coffin, Empress Dowager Cixi, wearing a luxurious shroud and a rockhopper, lay quietly among colorful treasures. The whole coffin was full of golden light and broken light. Empress Dowager Cixi seems to be asleep, with her eyes slightly closed and her face lifelike. In an instant, due to exposure to fresh air, the fresh body shrank and collapsed, and Cixi's face turned from red to white and from white to black. Her hand suddenly contracted, and two rows of teeth suddenly appeared ... After a long time, there was no movement in the coffin, and Xu personally took the treasure. Cixi's body was thrown on the coffin cover in the northwest corner of the back room of the underground palace. Cixi's robe was torn to pieces, the crested phoenix was trampled flat, and all kinds of gems and ornaments on her pants were taken away. On a whim, Sun Dianying heard the news that the underground was opened, and led Tan Wenjiang and others to the underground chamber of secrets. A dazzling array of treasures were taken out one by one: golden arhat, jade horse, coral tree, jade lotus root, jade cabbage, precious watermelon, purple jade grape, ruby jujube, topaz plum ... When I looked at Cixi's body, I suddenly found the luminous pearl in Cixi's mouth. Legend has it that the night pearl can produce cold and prevent heatstroke. The pearl was in the mouth of the deceased, and the body was fresh and never rotted. In order to get the pearl of the night, the lips of Empress Dowager Cixi were torn. The night pearl is about the size of an egg. It is divided into two pieces, and together it is a ball. When separated, it is transparent and dull, and when closed, it reveals green cold light. In this way, after seven days of frantic excavation, three tombs, including Qianlong and Kangxi, were looted and destroyed by gangsters ... 10, Sun Dianying returned to Malanyu by bus. 1 1, more than 30 mule cars returned to the headquarters loaded with jewels. At this time, the national newspapers have not published any news. It was not until the beginning of August that Reuters disclosed the matter by telegram, and some newspapers adopted it, but it still did not attract people's attention. It was not until August 13, more than a month after the incident, that the Central Daily reported the "tragic situation of bandits robbing Dongling", which caused a sensation throughout the country and became a household news at that time.
