《zang hai zhuan》E7
Episode 7
Zanghai and his father's old comrade-in-arms Ji Qun led the workers to repair the imperial tomb day and night, and finally completed it within the scheduled time.However, Chu Huaiming and Yang Zhen had already planned to let Zanghai and the eight great craftsmen bury the empress dowager together. They used all their means to threaten and lure the craftsmen, and at the same time promised to take good care of the craftsmen's families.Zanghai had already understood the conspiracy between the two and was ready to deal with it, and also let Gao Ming pretend to be a fortune teller to lay the groundwork in front of Zhuang Luyin.
Chu Huaiming read out the imperial decree in front of everyone, asking Zanghai to be buried with eight craftsmen tomorrow.Ji Qun and the craftsmen both felt sorry for Zanghai, but Zanghai agreed calmly.They knew that Chu Huaiming and Yang Zhen were vicious, and even if they refused to be buried alive, they would not escape the fate of being disabled, so they decided to exchange their lives for their families.Zanghai's inner anger is not able to vent.
On the day the empress dowager was buried, all civil and military officials came to attend the funeral, and the emperor stayed in the palace to pray for blessings due to excessive grief.Zanghai asked Ji Qun about the situation of all officials and silently recorded the information about important people in his heart.After the empress dowager's coffin was carried into the imperial tomb, Zanghai and the craftsmen entered the hall.Chu Huaiming pretended to say goodbye, but in fact he prepared poisonous wine, trying to make them die of poison three days later.Afterwards, Chu Huaiming closed the Dashimen and smiled at Yang Zhen because they set up many institutions in the underground palace.
The craftsmen heard the sound of the bell of Qi Ling and knew that it was irreversible.They planned to have a full meal before they died, but were stopped by Zanghai.Zanghai promised to take everyone away safely, otherwise more craftsmen will encounter misfortunes in the future.Ji Qun and the craftsmen believed in Tibetan sea.However, when they tried to escape, they encountered a mechanism set up by Chu Huaiming, and many people were killed by arrows.Zanghai ignored the danger and tried his best to find the lead and successfully opened the door.But Ji Qun was seriously injured and did not want to drag down Zanghai, so he used his body to hold the stone gate and let him escape.After escaping from Zanghai, Ji Qun died heroically.
Zanghai's escape shocked Chu Huaiming and Yang Zhen, and all the officials were stunned.Zhuang Luyin recalled Gaoming's hexagram and questioned why Zanghai did not keep his promise to be buried alive.Zanghai refuted and revealed that Yang Zhen and the former emperor's horoscope were in line with each other, and he should have been buried with him.Under the pressure of Tibetan Sea, Chu Huaiming had to admit this.In order to save himself, Yang Zhen entered the underground palace under the persuasion of Zhuang Luyin, but was still shot by an arrow and died.
