Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 294
In the middle of February of the seventh year of Dashang.

Lu Yange followed Shen Zhenghai to Dongyang County.

Shen Zhenghai is the emperor who came to inspect the imperial mausoleum. Here, it was Chen Quanyi who started the construction of the ancestral mausoleum for his father Chen Taiyi.

Later, an ancient tomb was dug by accident, and a large amount of gold, silver and jewels were obtained, which instantly filled the treasury of the Great Merchants.

Now that Chen Quan is dead, his body is still buried in the palace with ice cubes, and the ancestral mausoleum on Dayun Mountain in Dongyang County has not yet been completed.

Lu Yange asked Shen Zhenghai: "When will the imperial mausoleum be built?"

Standing on the top of Xiaoyun Mountain, Shen Zhenghai looked at Dayun Mountain, which was not far away, and said, "Zhou Yang said that it will be the end of August at the earliest."

Although most of the treasures in the ancient tomb have been cleared out, it will take a lot of effort to re-survey the original ancient tomb and rebuild it into an imperial mausoleum.

Lu Yange sneered at his pen: "Then Chen Quan is going to let it stink?"

If Chen Quan were to be put at that time, it would be really stinky.

Shen Zhenghai said lightly: "This is a common thing. Generally, emperors have to bury their coffins, build mountain mausoleums, and gather in palaces to stop their coffins. It is not uncommon for as short as half a year or as long as a year. At the beginning, the imperial mausoleum was ordered by the previous emperor. It’s not that the ancient tomb has been dug, but now it’s more than half completed, so the former emperor can be buried in the ground first.”

Originally, he shouldn't have made this trip, but the Taishanghuang had a big funeral, just in time for the New Year, so he had to store the Taishanghuang's coffin in the temple with ice.

After the new year, the palace began to hold funerals.

It's just that there must be a place to bury the funeral before the funeral can be buried.Chen Quan is not an ordinary person, he can be buried in a random place where Feng Shui is selected.

Because of this, the funeral was still in the palace, so Shen Zhenghai took the emperor's order to supervise the construction of the imperial mausoleum.

Many ministers in the court could not understand why the Chen family wanted to build the imperial mausoleum in Dongyang County. In terms of mountains, the capital is surrounded by mountains. What place is better than Dongyang County.Even if the first emperor had an obsession with his hometown, he should have built the imperial mausoleum in Nanyang County, not Dongyang County, which is still tens of kilometers away.

Later, the empress dowager summoned the wives of several important ministers in the palace, and told about Chen Quan's decision to locate the imperial mausoleum in Dongyang County, and specially ordered Song Yunfei to build it.

Dayun Mountain in Dongyang County is the first mountain in the southeast. Its geographical location is excellent, and it happens to be very close to the hometown of the late emperor, so the late emperor's mausoleum was decided on Dayun Mountain in Dongyang County.

The empress dowager also took out the letter written by the first emperor to Song Yunfei, so that the wives could know it well.

Since it was chosen by the late emperor himself, and the ashes of the late emperor's father had to be moved to Dongyang County, no one in the court dared to question it.

It's just because the late emperor never prepared the imperial mausoleum, and now that the late emperor has passed away, the construction of the imperial mausoleum is imminent.

In early spring, Xiaoyun Mountain is full of greenery everywhere, with red flowers and willows mixed in the large green shade.

The Lu family's ancestral hall at the foot of Xiaoyun Mountain is still there, and the people of the Lu family are panic-stricken. The emperor wants to build an imperial mausoleum in Dayun Mountain, so what should happen to the Lu family's ancestral hall and the ancestral grave on Xiaoyun Mountain in Dayun Mountain.

Although the Lu family has a large number of people, most of their ancestral graves are buried on Xiaoyun Mountain, and the tomb on the mountainside of Dayun Mountain belongs to Lu Yuanshan's branch.

Although this branch has been passed down for several generations, there are still more than a dozen graves.

Now the royal family is going to build an imperial mausoleum here, how can others sleep soundly in the place where the couch lies.

The head of the Lu family asked to see Song Yunfei several times, but Song Yunfei stopped him.

Later, Zhou Yang was replaced by Zhou Yang who built the imperial mausoleum in the new year. Zhou Yang only said that the descendants of the Lu family had to come to him to discuss these matters in detail.

But Lu Yuanshan's branch is almost extinct. It is said that there is only one daughter left, who was named princess by the former emperor.

But this girl can't inherit the Lu family's family business, so how to negotiate?
Fortunately, the imperial mausoleum has always been built halfway up the mountain, no matter whether it is officers, soldiers or hired labor, everyone is told to avoid the Lu family's ancestral graves and not to offend, which made the Lu family patriarch feel a little more at ease.

What he was originally afraid of was that these officers and soldiers would destroy the Lu family's tomb directly if they didn't understand the truth.

Later, when I saw the officers and soldiers purposely enclosing the Lu Family Cemetery with a fence, I felt a little more at ease.

After all, there is a princess in the Lu family, and Lu Yuanshan and the former emperor Chen Quan are brothers-in-law. Even for the sake of looking good, they can't let people ruin the Lu family's cemetery.

Finally, the patriarch waited until Lu Yange came to Dongyang County.

Hearing that Lu Yange followed his cousin to Xiaoyun Mountain, the patriarch rushed to Xiaoyun Mountain again panting.

The patriarch Lu Yuanping looked at the woman in plain clothes in front of him. Her shoulders were shaved and her waist was slender. Although she looked weak and flamboyant, she could still see her figure was beautiful and dignified.

Lu Yuanping stepped forward and bowed: "Master Shen, sing a song."

"It's the patriarch uncle." Lu Yange hurriedly bent down to support Lu Yuanping, "Uncle, you don't need to be polite, you are going to ruin your niece by doing this."

"Even if you are my Lu Yuanping's niece, you are also the princess of my dynasty, this gift is not expensive."

Said that Lu Yuanping still wanted to salute, but was stopped by Shen Zhenghai: "Patriarch Lu, although the ceremony is not costly, but Yange belongs to the Lu family, and you are always the patriarch of the Lu family. Be courteous."

Seeing that Shen Zhenghai and Lu Yange were really sincere, Lu Yuanping straightened up and heaved a sigh of relief.

Lu Yuanping said: "I actually wanted to go to Beijing for a long time to find Yan Ge. This royal family is going to build an imperial mausoleum in Dayun Mountain, but our Lu family's ancestral tomb is still in Dayun Mountain. What should I do? It's just that brother Lu Quan asked me to Don't worry, Yange will come back when it's time. I think Lu Quan's brother is Yange's adoptive father, so I just waited."

Lu Yange and Lu Quanlai participated in the construction of the Lu Clan's Ancestral Hall back then, so he naturally knew that Lu Yuanping was somewhat benevolent.

Hearing what he said now, Lu Yange hurriedly said: "Uncle Patriarch, don't worry, I came back for this matter."

"That's good, that's good. I'll be relieved if you come back to make arrangements." Lu Yuanping hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously, "If you want to move the ancestral grave to Xiaoyun Mountain, it's best to choose a date before Qingming."

The royal family chose Dayun Mountain to build the imperial mausoleum, and the former emperor Chen Quan had passed away, so it would be too late for the Lu family to move the tomb when Chen Quan's coffin entered the imperial mausoleum.

At that time, the Lu family's ancestral tomb will still occupy the land of the imperial mausoleum, which is wrong after all.

Even if the royal family doesn't mind, the Lu family can't be so ignorant of flattery and really refuse to move the grave.

"Then trouble the Patriarch Uncle to choose a date. Relocating the ancestral graves is a major event. For several generations of our Lu family, more than a dozen ancestral tombs are in Dayun Mountain. It is still very troublesome to move one by one. This time, my eldest cousin is here. The emperor also sent some people to me, when the time comes, the patriarch uncle will just pick a day for me, and someone from my side will help move the grave."

Hearing what Lu Yange said, Lu Yuanping was stunned.

How could anyone move their ancestral graves without using the Lu family?

However, thinking that Lu Yange is now the princess, the Shen family is a relative of the state, and the current emperor is still Yange's cousin.

The fact that the emperor can send someone to relocate Yange's grave shows that the emperor has taken a fancy to Yange.

This is also regarded as a fancy to the Lu family, he should be happy, how can he question it!
