Why did Wanli, who built the underground palace, go his own way?

Feng Shui has always been the most important basis for emperors to choose the location of the underground palace, and Emperor Wanli of Ming Shenzong was also very concerned about it. But the location of the underground palace he chose is not very good and puzzling. In the Ming Dynasty, because Judy of Ming Taizu chose the imperial tomb in Tianshou Mountain in Changping, Beijing, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty also chose the underground palace near Tianshou Mountain. However, during the period of Ming Shenzong, due to water conservancy disrepair and other reasons, Tianshou Mountain was often hit by floods, and even some emperors' underground palaces were soaked in water, which was a big taboo for the location of underground palaces.

It can be said that it is no longer suitable to build underground palace near Tianshou Mountain. But Ming Shenzong still set the underground palace in Dayu Mountain near Tianshou Mountain.

Not only that, when digging the underground palace, craftsmen encountered a huge stone as big as a screen when digging the coffin bed of the underground palace, which had a great conflict with China's ancient geomantic theory. When excavating the underground palace, it is unlucky to dig out water veins or stones.

This incident caused an uproar in the imperial court. Some ministers trumpeted it in the imperial court, and demanded that Ming Shenzong punish the officials who had been buying land in Dayushan for a long time.

However, Ming Shenzong still pushed his way through the crowd and continued to build an underground palace in Dayushan. Why?

According to Ming Shenzong's own statement, since Cheng Zu set the location of the palace in Tianshou Mountain, he should abide by the system of his ancestors as a sign of filial piety. In fact, observing filial piety is only a superficial reason. If we dig deeper, the deeper reason is that Ming Shenzong's actions deliberately angered and opposed the court ministers. 10 years old, proclaimed himself emperor and worshipped Zhang as prime minister. The emperor is too young to decide his own political affairs. So at that time, in the Ming Dynasty, the Empress Dowager was in charge and Zhang was in charge outside.

Zhang Cai adopted many reform measures that were beneficial to the development of the national economy and people's livelihood, especially the implementation of a whip law, which promoted the social and economic development of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, Zhang is a teacher who is responsible for giving lectures every day.

At first, I respected Zhang very much and did as he said. But later, in order to carry out his reform measures and make the emperor a wise king, Zhang became more and more strict. Ming Shenzong was therefore dissatisfied. At the age of 20, Zhang died, and the ministers who were excluded and suppressed by Zhang in North Korea rose up and impeached Zhang. Already disgruntled conveniently copied Zhang's home. It was in this year that Ming Shenzong began to build his own mausoleum. Perhaps it is precisely because of the interference of ministers in his childhood that Ming Shenzong has a strong rebellious mentality. Therefore, although the location of the underground palace is not good, the more ministers object, the more he insists.

However, Dayu Mountain is really not a treasure trove of feng shui. After Ming Shenzong's death, disasters in the Ming Dynasty continued. Emperors after Ming Shenzong were in power for a short time, almost all of them were short-lived ghosts. Especially Ming Shenzong's son, Ming Guangzong, died suddenly after 28 days of succession. At that time, there was no funeral for Ming Shenzong.

If Emperor Wanli of Ming Shenzong knew about the underground, would he regret his stubbornness?
