According to Wang Wenlu's "longxing temple Ji", Yangjiadun has an empty nest where Zhu Chuyi, Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather, often lies herding cattle. Once, a Taoist priest (Feng Shui master) passed by here and saw the pattern of Longdong here, saying that if someone was buried here, the descendants would be the sons of heaven. Disciples of Taoist (Feng Shui Master) asked why, and the Taoist said, "If you don't believe me, just plant a dead branch here and it will come back to life within ten days." Zhu Chu secretly tried it, and it was like this, and he was overjoyed! So he told the Taoist priest's words to Zhu Yuanzhang's father, Zhu Shizhen.
Ten years later, four years later (1327), Zhu Chu died of illness and was buried here. Half a year later, his wife Chen was pregnant with Zhu Yuanzhang. In the 12th year of Zheng Zheng (1352), Zhu Yuanzhang joined the Red Scarf Army led by Guo Zixing and ascended the throne all the way. 1386, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Crown Prince Zhu Biao to lead civil and military officials and craftsmen to Yangjiadun, north of Sizhou, and began to build the ancestral tomb. Twenty-eight years have passed and a lot of money has been spent. It was not until the 11th year of Yongle (14 13) that all the tombs of his great-grandfather, great-grandfather and grandfather were built. At this point, Yangjiadun was renamed Ming Zuling. After Li Zicheng led the army to break through here, in order to destroy Long Mai of the Ming Dynasty, he wantonly destroyed the Ming Zuling, destroyed its geomantic omen and beheaded its Long Mai.
It is said that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty sent someone to dig Li Zicheng's ancestral grave in order to attack the rebels in Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng, a native of Mizhi County, Shaanxi Province, has been bitter since he was a child. He joined the rebel army led by Gao Yingxiang with some poor people. Later, because of his courage and wisdom, he was appreciated by Gao Yingxiang. Finally, he succeeded Gao Yingxiang as the leader of the rebel army. Everywhere he went, people gathered to respond. At that time, Zhujiajie was teetering, and Li's "emperor phase" was faintly visible. At this time, Emperor Chongzhen listened to the advice of ministers and sent people to dig Li Zicheng's ancestral grave for the sake of Feng Shui and Long Mai, so as to vent his "kingly way" and let the thief fail, thus pulling the building to the edge of the cliff. In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen (1642), on the eighth day of the first month, Wang Qiaonian, the governor of Shaanxi Province, received a tip-off from Emperor Chongzhen and ordered Bian Damao and others in Mizhi County of Yan 'an to go into the mountains to look for Li Zicheng's ancestral grave.
There is also a tomb at the lower left of Li Zicheng's grandfather's tomb, which was identified by Li Cheng as the tomb of Li Zicheng's father Shou Zhong. There is an elm tree at the top of the tomb, which is as thick as an arm and has strange branches and leaves. It was ordered to cut down the elm trees on the side. Unexpectedly, the tree fell open and there were nine snakes in the tomb. According to legend, the Dashun regime initiated by Li Zicheng can be passed down to the next nine generations. ) "It is two inches long and its head is striking." The soldiers came forward to capture it and put the snake in the bag of the head coach Hao.
The orderly opened the coffin and saw that all the joints were bronze, with six or seven inches of white hair on his forehead and white hair on the skeletons of seven or eight other tombs. In order to break the "Long Mai" in Li Zicheng, Bian Dahou also sent someone to dig a trench 20 meters wide and 5 meters deep in Longdong. He ordered people to "collect and burn the bones" and cut down all the surrounding "large and small1more than 300 trees".
The whole process of excavating Li Zicheng's ancestral grave was recorded in detail by Bian Dahou. According to the news obtained by Wang Qiaonian, Shaanxi warlord, Wang Qiaonian, Shaanxi warlord, rewarded Bian Dahou after receiving the news, because Bian Dahou learned that Chu Zhuangwang's tomb had been opened, so that the thief could be caught. If you succeed in the future, you will be rewarded first. After the tomb of Zhuang was dug up, Long Mai was beheaded. Although Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he was defeated and died in a few days.
Another young, apprenticed Taoist was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

The Taoist replied with a smile: "It's warm and aura here. If you don't believe me, plant a dead branch here. Within ten days, the dead branches will surely grow new buds. "
At this time, Zhu Chu woke up and stood up from the nest. The old Taoist priest was surprised to see him, so he asked, "benefactor, did you hear what I just said?"
Zhu Chu pretended to be deaf, shook his head and left with a wave, indicating that he didn't know anything.
After Zhu Chu left, the little Taoist picked up a dead branch elsewhere, put it in a nest and left.
In fact, Zhu Chuyi not only sincerely listened to the Taoist priest's words, but also carefully kept them in mind. Every day, he came to the earthen nest to wait for the dead branches to sprout.
