Why does the tomb of corrupt official Xiao Shenyang have 99 bays? What's the mystery behind it?

You know, there are 99 rooms in the mausoleum of Little Shenyang, mainly because the ambition of Little Shenyang is very great, and it is precisely because Little Shenyang built the mausoleum ahead of time that people's anger was completely aroused and was seized by Emperor Jiaqing. You know, Xiao Shenyang was only an official of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the laws of the Qing Dynasty stipulated that only the monarch and the royal family could repair the tomb in advance.

At that time, Xiao Shenyang had sent someone to build his own mausoleum before his death, and he also built his own mausoleum very luxuriously. Xiao Shenyang was the favorite minister of Emperor Qianlong at that time. He gave Xiao Shenyang great power during the Qianlong period. It can be said that the status of small Shenyang in the imperial court at that time was very high. By the late Qianlong period, he had actually passed the throne to Emperor Jiaqing, and he himself began to abdicate his pension plan.

You know, in the later years of Emperor Qianlong, it was also the best time in Xiao Shenyang's life. He saw that Emperor Qianlong's mausoleum was built very luxuriously, so he also wanted to build his own cemetery very luxuriously. So at that time, he specially told Feng Shui master to choose a treasure with very good Feng Shui as the construction site of his cemetery. On one occasion, Xiao Shenyang went to visit the Qing Dongling and passed through Jizhou City. The feng shui here is very good. After seeing the geomantic omen, the master thought it was more suitable to build a mausoleum here, so Xiao Shenyang decided to build his own cemetery here.

In the process of building the cemetery, Xiao Shenyang can be said to be obedient to the master of Feng Shui. At that time, the Feng Shui master told Xiao Shenyang that the moat of the mausoleum should be dug with a bend of 100 to protect the rivers and mountains of future generations. So at that time, he sent craftsmen to build it according to the master feng shui. But when the project was about to be completed, these craftsmen found some sand. You know, when building a mausoleum, it is a bad phenomenon to find dust and sand. At that time, when Xiao Shenyang knew about it, he strictly ordered the craftsmen at that time not to spread the story and stop building the tomb. But this matter was finally known by Emperor Jiaqing. Emperor Jiaqing actually always wanted to get rid of Xiao Shenyang, but he never found a reason to oppose Xiao Shenyang, so he killed Xiao Shenyang on this matter.
