Cao Jiazu's tomb covers an area of 1000 mu, and Cixi has to take a detour to build the railway. What's going on here?

The ancients attached great importance to ancestral graves, and because of the influence of Feng Shui theory, the location of ancient cemeteries was more particular, so the ancestral graves in the past could not be easily moved. In the Qing Dynasty, the ancestral graves of the Cao family belonged to Guangxu and Cixi, and there was nothing they could do.

Cao family is not simple.

In fact, this ancestor of the Cao family was born in the Kangxi period. History records that Kangxi was once seriously ill when he was young, and this disease was smallpox. You know, smallpox was contagious in ancient times, and the mortality rate was very high, so no one wanted to take care of it when Kangxi was a child. Later, Cao Jiazu was not afraid of being infected and took care of Kangxi when he was a child.

Later, after Kangxi came to power, he also attached great importance to Cao's family. Kangxi would visit Cao's family every time he went out on patrol. Later, I stayed in the Cao family for a few more days and even wrote four big characters to the Cao family. Xiang Yan Puzi? . Later, in order to show respect for Emperor Kangxi, the Cao family hung this plaque on the ancestral grave for the descendants of the Cao family to worship day and night.

In fact, this is the Cao family, that is, the Cao family in Jiangnan. Cao Shi's family was a big family in the south of the Yangtze River in the early days, and moved to Beijing during Yongle period. Later, the Cao family moved to Wuqing County, Tianjin.

Nail households have existed since ancient times.

It was on this plaque given by Kangxi that the Cao family became the nail house of the Qing Dynasty.

In fact, it started with Guangxu's plan to build a railway from Beijing to Shanhaiguan. This exploring railway just passes through Cao Shijia's ancestral grave between Beijing and Tianjin.

After the route was determined, the official in charge of road construction also went to Cao Jia to coordinate. The Cao family is also a powerful force in Tianjin Wuqing area, but they are also afraid of the use of force by honest officials. After all, it was still the world of the Qing Dynasty.

But no one thought that the plaque given by Emperor Kangxi a hundred years ago would save the ancestral grave of Cao family. Knowing that the railway would pass through Cao Zu's grave, Cao Jia was looking for someone to clear the relationship. Even so, it is not for them to decide to change the route of the railway line. Later, the Cao family took the plaque given by Emperor Kangxi to find Empress Dowager Cixi and forced the railway to bypass.
