However, Liu Xiu was unwilling to sink in, studied hard and made a decision while studying in Chang 'an. As an official, you should be Wu and your wife should be Yin Lihua? The ambition of life.
Later, Liu Xiu started from scratch, experienced numerous difficulties and hardships, and finally established the Eastern Han regime.
After Liu Xiu unified the world, he carried out drastic reforms in the army and bureaucracy, providing a good environment for the people to recuperate. And released slaves many times, reduced taxes and so on. Under his management, it started soon? Guangwu zhongxing? Situation.
Liu Xiu was kind to the founding heroes and practiced benevolent government, which was praised by courtiers and people. He was an almost perfect emperor in history and was praised by later generations.
However, after Liu Xiu's death, the choice of the location of his mausoleum has been puzzling future generations.
You know, in the feudal dynasty, the emperor always paid special attention to what was behind him. In the early days of their rule, they often chose auspicious places and built tombs everywhere.
Generally speaking, the sunny place with the back of the mountain and the water is often the emperor's first choice. According to Feng Shui, this kind of place is open and relaxed, which not only shows their open mind and ambition to control everything, but also protects future generations and consolidates the country forever.
For example, Beimang Mountain in the north of Luoyang is the first choice of emperors in past dynasties. Because of its open mountains and facing the Yellow River, it was the first choice for emperors to build their capital in the Central Plains. Was it always popular in ancient times? Born in Suzhou and Hangzhou and buried in Beimang? That's what it means.

However, Liu Xiu's tomb happens to be on the Yellow River beach opposite Beimang Mountain. Is that the legendary one? Pillow river pushes mountains? . From the perspective of geomantic omen, it seems that this is not an auspicious place, nor is it good for future generations. So what? Have the right to omit? Why is Liu Xiu buried here?
On this issue, it is recorded in unofficial history that I wanted to build a mausoleum on the Beijiang River, but Zhuang was a traitor. He said that if he went east, Liu Zhuang would go west. In short, he won't deal with him everywhere.
Liu Xiu was worried that even if a mausoleum was built in Beimang Mountain, Liu Zhuang would deliberately make trouble and bury him on the Yellow River beach, so he hesitated and never built a mausoleum.
As a result, she is 62 years old and Liu Xiu is very ill. On his deathbed, Liu Zhuang asked him where he wanted to be buried. Liu Xiuben wanted to talk about Beimang Mountain, but when he thought that Liu Zhuang had never relied on him, he changed his mind and said that he was short of water, so he was buried in the Yellow River after his death and later died.
Liu Zhuang felt guilty when he thought that he had always contradicted Liu Xiu for many years. Tears streaming down his face, he swore to Liu Xiu's body that he would obey his entrustment this time.
Later, Liu Zhuang summoned all the skilled craftsmen to build a beautifully designed dragon boat as Liu Xiu's coffin.
When the funeral was auspicious, Liu Zhuang ordered the coffin to be thrown into the raging Yellow River.
Who knows that shortly after the coffin fell into the water, the surging Yellow River rushed northward, but the riverbed where the coffin landed was exposed, followed by a strong wind. In an instant, a mausoleum was easily raised where the coffin was located, so this became the original mausoleum of Liu Xiu.
