When Zhu Yuanzhang built the mausoleum, he considered what most people would consider, that is, anti-corrosion and anti-theft. But no matter how to prevent it, grave robbers will try their best to steal it, so the problem of the mausoleum is a headache for him.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not worried about building a mausoleum for himself after sealing the emperor. On the contrary, he first respected his ancestors as emperors and queens and told them to build tombs. Because Zhu Yuanzhang is young and poor, his residence has been moving, and I don't know where the three generations of ancestors are buried.
At this time, his minister claimed to have found his childhood playmate and knew where his ancestral grave was. So Zhu Yuanzhang quickly took people to check it out. But in the designated position, you can't see anything at all! Zhu Yuanzhang was about to get angry when the man pointed to the water and said that there had been a lot of rain in recent years and it was flooded.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought that if I built the tomb in the water, not only could the Millennium water wash my tomb, but also people could not stay in the water for a long time. Isn't this anti-theft?
Zhu Yuanzhang was studying this matter when he went back. At this time, a minister suggested that there was a good place to relieve the emperor's worries, and that was Hongze Lake. Although this place is flat now, it will soon sink to the bottom of the lake, which is convenient for construction and can meet your needs.
Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and built the Ming Zuling here. Although the ancestors were buried here, Zhu Yuanzhang did not enter the Ming Zuling for some reason. Sure enough, after several decades, this place was submerged, and it didn't leak out of the water again until the late Qing Dynasty.
