We know that after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it was mainly buried in the Qing Dongling from Shunzhi, but in Yongzheng period, why should we find another way to bury ourselves in the Qing Xiling, which is hundreds of miles away from the Qing Dongling? This is an eternal mystery. Yong Zhengdi was one of the few successful emperors in Qing Dynasty. During his reign, he purged the bureaucracy, vigorously fought corruption, and recovered * * * and outer Mongolia, which contributed greatly to the brand-new appearance of corruption and decay since the last years of Kangxi, greatly improved the empty state of the treasury, and directly laid the foundation for the prosperity of Qianlong.
The reason why the emperor was not buried next to his father and grandfather after his death was far-fetched. According to official records, Yongzheng did not find a suitable place in the Qing Dongling. Because the burial of emperors in past dynasties has become customized, otherwise it will be detrimental to the spirit of the emperor. For example, the Ming emperors except Zhu Yuanzhang were buried in the Ming Tombs in Nanjing.
Therefore, people speculate that this is related to the improper origin of Yongzheng's throne. Now it is said that Kangxi was going to pass on the throne to the fourteenth emperor, and Yongzheng was the throne obtained by tampering with the imperial edict. So he was afraid of being accused of being buried with his father Kangxi, so he found another way to open up the Qing Xiling.
After Yongzheng, Jiaqing, Daoguang and Guangxu were buried. Interestingly, after the death of the last emperor Puyi, he was first buried in Babaoshan. Now, in order to develop tourism, Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, has moved to the Qing Xiling Mausoleum, and its cemetery is said to be larger than other cemeteries. Moreover, the arrival of Puyi really brought popularity to the deserted Qing Xiling.
Interestingly, although the Qing Xiling buried five emperors, it was not looted like the Qing Dongling. Now, except for the tomb of Emperor Guangxu, it is well preserved. I think this may be related to Yongzheng's style. Yongzheng, Jiaqing and Daoguang were three thrifty and vulgar emperors. One was very stingy and frugal before his death; Neither of them likes to collect treasures, and they are not as flamboyant as Qianlong and Cixi. Therefore, it must be that the tomb robbers knew that the Qing Xiling Mausoleum was rather shabby, so they didn't move.
