The Mystery of the History of Emperor Kangxi's Mausoleum
by Xu Xin
About This Novel
Emperor Kangxi was an influential generation of talented emperors in the Qing Dynasty. The reason why he became emperor at a young age was entirely due to the recommendation of his grandmother and the persuasion of foreigners. He built the mausoleum during his lifetime just to bury the queen who died early. The innovation in the mausoleum system and the reform of the funeral system set a good start for future generations. The strange death of Emperor Kangxi, the changes in the regulations of the mausoleum, the anecdotes about the deceased persons and the theft of the mausoleum, as well as the existence of the two concubine gardens of Emperor Kangxi, including the corpses of Emperor Kangxi and his queen, are still soaked in the smelly water underground. These are shocking and endless reveries both in the Qing Dynasty and now. Based on the official history and Qing palace archives, through field research and social investigation, combined with the latest research results of current history, the author uses popular and skillful writing to tell you the little-known secrets of Emperor Kangxi and his mausoleum.
