In ancient times, as soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he began to organize the affairs of the underground palace after his death.
Building a royal tomb is not that simple.
It requires good feng shui, style, and theft protection.
It will take as long as the emperor reigns.
In short, the project is huge and wastes people and money.
Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty was very busy with his own tomb, and he was one of the rare emperors to do it himself.
An interesting little story happened when choosing a place for the tomb.
In order to make his empire last for a long time, Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to the feng shui of tombs.
He and military advisor Liu Bowen traveled many times, from east to west, and from south to north.
Finally, they saw a piece of plain land at Qianliangkou in Xizhuang, Beijing.
Liu Bowen watched it.
It was inferred from the situation that there must be a good Feng Shui place if you go straight.
Sure enough, this place is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces south.
Liu Bowen praised: "At the south end of this place, there is Qinglong Mountain on the left, White Tiger Mountain on the right, Qinglong on the left, White Tiger on the right, and the place under my king's feet is Wolong's Nest."
Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty was very happy after hearing this.
Liu Bowen added: "It's such a great Feng Shui place, I'm afraid there are tombstones here."
Chengzu disagreed: "Everything in the world is king's land."
Liu Bowen said nothing after hearing this.
When they walked back, it was getting late, so Liu Bowen and Ming Chengzu decided to find a place to stay for the night.
The two walked south, and suddenly they heard the beating of gongs and drums, which was very lively.
At that time, unlike now, weddings were all held at night.
Ming Chengzu said to Liu Bowen: "Today must be a good day to get married."
Liu Bowen counted with his fingers and found that today is the day of the five ghosts.
As they spoke, they saw a sedan coming.
The two of them hurriedly chased after the sedan.
They saw the sedan lighting up in front and blowing on the back.
It was moving very fast in a flash.
The person carrying the sedan felt strange that it was not walking but floating.
Wait.
Liu Bowen and Liu Bowen had already arrived at the entrance of the village when they caught up, and they returned to normal before they knew it.
They followed the sedan to the home where the wedding was held.
Ming Chengzu felt that he should be happy, so he and Liu Bowen walked in.
There were many guests in the courtyard, and they were full of joy.
When they went to the accountant, each person received a gift of fifty taels, which was a panic to keep accounts.
The gentleman hurriedly ran to report the matter to his boss.
The boss was already too busy and no one could care about it, so he had to tell the bookkeeper to take care of everything.
According to the owner's wishes, a separate banquet was held for the two of them.
The bookkeeper drank two drinks with him.
Liu Bowen asked: "Who chose this wedding day?
Do you know what day it is?"
The bookkeeper replied: "That's it."
Taught by Mr.
Yao, Mr.
He is a wise man who is well-known far and wide.
I must have chosen the right day.

After you two have finished eating, I will take you to Mr.
Yao's place.
You must have come from a long way and the journey is tiring.
The environment there is quiet and suitable for rest."
The two hurriedly went there. thank.
After drinking and eating, the two of them followed Mr.
Accountant to Mr.
Yao's residence.
After Mr.
Accountant left, Mr.
Yao made two cups of tea.
One cup was given to Ming Chengzu first, and the other was given to Liu Bowen.
Liu Bowen immediately understood that there was something wrong with this person.
With his ability, he knew the etiquette of being a king before his ministers, so he must have known their identities.
Liu Bowen took a sip of tea and asked Mr.
Yao: "How many disciples do you have?"
Mr.
Yao replied: "Not too many, not too many, twenty-eight."
On the twenty-eighth night, Liu Bowen understood secretly and asked again: "Sir, can you understand the Yin and Yang Bagua?"
Mr.
Yao replied: "It's just a superficial knowledge, and I only have a superficial understanding of it."
Ming Chengzu asked: "Then you know that today is the day of the five ghosts, why did you choose today to get married?"
Mr.
Yao smiled and said: "These two people not only have five ghosts in their lives, they also have five ghosts in their lives."
According to superstition, committing two of the five ghosts is a big deal.
In addition, Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty was even more superstitious and was extremely puzzled.
He asked: "I know that the days are guilty of the five ghosts, and people are also guilty of the five ghosts.
Why can't I persuade them to be more evil?"
It’s more dangerous” Mr.
Yao quickly said: "In fact, it has been resolved long ago.
The five ghosts are afraid of the dragon and the tiger.
Once the dragon and tiger are gone, all five ghosts will disappear."
After hearing this, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty was delighted.
The emperor was granted the title of True Dragon Emperor, and Liu Bowen was the military advisor and one of the tiger generals.
Mr.
Yao's words were not true about these two people.
Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty deliberately asked: "Where is the dragon and where is the tiger?"
Mr.
Yao replied: "It is far away in the horizon and right in front of you."
Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty was delighted: "It turns out that Mr.
Yao has known our identities for a long time, and he is really worthy of his reputation. " Mr.
Yao knew that the time had come and knelt down to worship.
Liu Bowen saw this and knew that this man had some skills, so he said: "Sir, since you know our identities, you must also know the purpose of our coming here.
Why don't you serve the country if you have such skills?
Now the emperor chooses the cemetery.

This is a big deal, please take a look at this dragon vein."
Mr.
Yao agreed to this matter with a gesture of courtesy.
After saying that, Mr.
Yao stood up and took the two of them outside.
At this time, it was dark outside.
Not to mention choosing a tomb, even identifying the road is difficult.
But Mr.
Yao was familiar with the road, and seemed to know the two people's thoughts, so he happened to come to Wolong's Nest.
Liu Bowen also looked at this person with admiration.
The location was decided, and Ming Chengzu sent people to start the construction after he returned.
Mr.
Yao also told Ming Chengzu that there was a civilian monument here.
Although the feng shui was excellent, it was not good for the royal family to occupy the old civilian tombs.
However, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty said: "If this is a treasure land, the royal family must come first, regardless of the old or the new."
So he dug out the tombstone and moved it to a distant place.
The owner of the tombstone was named Kang.
Mr.
Yao saw that Ming Chengzu was not the master of his heart, so he went away.
Some people say he is dead, others say he became a monk, there are different opinions.
As for later, people all said that the surname of the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty was Zhu, and the monument with the surname Kang was removed. , the family fortune can no longer be improved.
Of course, this is just a rumor, I don’t know if this is true
