"The official family, I heard from the left-behind eunuchs that the official family lived in the lower palace of Emperor Gaozong when the battle of protecting the tombs was held. Aren't they afraid?" Zhang Ping gave the emperor a cup of hot tea that had just been cooked, and sat down next to him and asked.

"What's scary?" Zhao Bing smacked his tea and said with a smile, "The mausoleum area had been deserted for many years, and the palace houses collapsed and it was impossible to live in it at all. The only one in the tombs was the lower palace of Emperor Gaozong's tomb was still good, so I could only live here temporarily. The burials in this mausoleum are all my ancestors of Zhao family, or royal family members, and all loyal ministers of my Song Dynasty. They will inevitably protect their descendants, so I will naturally not be afraid."

"The official, the day before yesterday, I saw a stone tablet beside the tomb of Emperor Lizong, and wrote, "In the 11th year of Xiangxing, the emperor personally killed the presidents of Buddhist, Taoist and Confucianism in the Yangtze River in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, and the foreign monk Yang Lianzhenjia and the tomb robbers here." Is this really the case?" Lei Yan also presented hot tea to the queen and asked.

"It is true to kill Yang Lianzhenjia and others, but nothing else is true." Zhao Bing smiled, and the others were also attracted to sit around him. "I took advantage of the tide to enter the canal from Hangzhou Bay in the night, and then to the mausoleum area. At that time, the Mongol garrison did not notice it. When I reached this point, the monks and the monks of Taining Temple who assisted in stealing the tombs were robbing the tombs of Lizong. They had opened the coffin and dragged the body out..."

"Ah..." Wang Yu was not only surprised when she heard this, but also saw everyone looking at her, and quickly covered her mouth.

"I was very angry at the time and ordered the thieves to tie them upside down and hung them upside down on the tree to make them into 'wind-dried chickens'." Zhao Bing said, but was interrupted by Wu Xi.

"Official family, what is the dry chicken?" Wu Xi was a girl under twenty years old after all. Although she became a queen and a mother, she was still very curious. She asked with anticipation on her face.

"This..." Zhao Bing thought about it and couldn't help but hesitate. But when he looked at the 'silly' appearance of his wife, he couldn't help but feel childlike innocence, and he wanted to scare them, "This dried chicken is a delicacy made by Tubo. A live chicken is slaughtered at an extremely fast speed. After the chicken's feathers are cleared, the internal organs are hollowed out, and it is hung under the eaves. The chicken has not yet died completely. It will sway in the wind and make a 'cuckoo' sound, just like a wind chime."

"Oh, it's so cruel!" Lei Yan said with a look of surprise when she heard this.

"Yes!" Wang Yu said with a pale face.

"The official family really made them... into air-dried chickens?" Wu Xi said calmly.

"Oh, no, I was dissuaded by Mr. Ying and others!" Zhao Bing sighed lightly, as if he was very regretful, but the others breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, he didn't want his husband to be a cruel and bloodthirsty person.

"So the official family killed them all with their own hands!" Li Sanniang asked calmly.

"I didn't care about it at that time. I had to reconcile Emperor Lizong and other stolen corpses scattered tombs and re-bury them, and also arrange troops to set up formations to resist the enemy troops coming after hearing the news. I would hang them upside down on the tree for three days, and then kill them in front of the spirit to pay tribute when Emperor Lizong was re-burying." Zhao Bing touched Lei Yan's face, who was still in horror, and chuckled.

"I have been hanging upside down for three days. Are they not dead yet?" Wu Xi asked.

"No, the bald thieves would shout for mercy, and the monks would chant scriptures to save themselves!" Zhao Bing said.

"In this way, what the monument says is untrue?" Wu Xi frowned and asked back.

"It depends on what you think!" Zhao Bing pondered for a moment, "They were ordered to be executed by me personally. It can be understood as being executed by me personally. Of course, it can be said that I did not do it myself, and they are all false words. However, the place where the monument was erected was not the place where they were executed, but the place where they had been hung for three days. The monument erected was not aware of the inside story, and just listened to a half words and took it as real."

"Why didn't Your Majesty ask them to correct their mistakes and re-books?" Wu Xi asked again.

"I have to ask about such small matters, so why don't I be exhausted? The intention of the monument is to shock the little ones and warn those who want to steal the imperial tombs and dare to do it here, and the emperor will not let them go. This is beneficial to maintaining the safety of the imperial tombs. Even if I know, why bother to ask about it too much?" Zhao Bing chuckled slightly sarcastically.

"The official's words are wrong. If it is not stopped or changed, wouldn't future generations not know the truth and be submerged in historical records by spreading rumors!" Wu Xi advised.

"There are not only buried in this mausoleum area, but also countless secrets and royal secrets that cannot be known to the world. Can the queen also clarify them one by one!" Zhao Bing asked back.

"This..." Wu Xi was shocked when she heard this. Although she had only been in the palace for two years, she also knew that the things in the palace were not known to outsiders. And how many unspeakable things happened in the palace for more than a hundred years, and it was buried underground with the master. It was a bit stupid to question His Majesty like this.

"I heard that the battle to protect the tombs was extremely tragic and there were many casualties. Is this true?" Wang Yu saw that the scene was a little awkward and changed the subject.

"Well, there were three brigades of guards in the mausoleum area at that time, and the enemy dispatched three teams of 10,000 people to surround all passages of the mausoleum area, hoping to kill me here. The two sides fought fiercely for more than ten days, and the bodies of men and horses filled the valley, blood flowed into a river, blocking the roads, and the water of the Kuaiji River was dyed red. The soldiers on both sides fought back and forth with corpses." Zhao Bing nodded and said, "We are taking the water route for the tomb this time. If we enter the valley by land, we can see several huge mounds at the entrance of the valley, and there will be no less than 20,000 corpses of the Mongol enemy underneath. But after ten years and a hundred years, trees have grown there. Who knows that there are so many corpses buried below, which will only mistake those mounds for ordinary muddy mountains."

"Oh, the battle situation is really so tragic. Wasn't Your Majesty afraid at that time?" Zhang Ping nodded, but also felt cold in his heart and asked in a trembling voice.

"You have never passed the battle formation before you asked such a childish question!" Zhao Bing scraped her nose and hugged Li Sanniang and said, "Concubine Shu once followed me to fight in all directions. After many battles, she once killed the enemy generals with her own hands. Do you ask her if she is afraid?"
