The Mystery of the History of Tongzhi Emperor's Mausoleum
by Xu Xin
About This Novel
As the short-lived emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Tongzhi was born into a noble family, but he was naturally tired of studying. In the end, his imperial power was taken over by his biological mother, the Empress Dowager Cixi. Emperor Tongzhi fell ill and died at the age of 19. The cause of death is controversial. Since no mausoleum was built during his lifetime, his biological mother broke the ancestral system of "Zhao and Mu built each other" and built a mausoleum for him in Dongling out of love for power. Although the regulations and scale of the completed Tongzhi Emperor's mausoleum are simple, the construction quality is unambiguous and it is known as "copper beams and iron pillars." The selection of the mausoleum is complicated, but the process of building the mausoleum is strictly handled in accordance with the regulations. Based on official history and Qing palace archives, through field research and social surveys, combined with current historical research results, the author uses popular and skillful writing to tell you the little-known secrets of Emperor Tongzhi himself and his mausoleum.

I like it, the writing is great. Without the author, the tomb of Emperor Tongzhi would fade out of people's memory. Thank you, the author, for letting us remember the life of this young emperor again.
