Concerning the character of Ly Lien Anh, humanity also circulates many legends with many different mystical colors . In it there is an amazing secret that still has no solution in the coffin of this great eunuch.

The truth about the excavation of the tomb of magecraft more than 40 years ago

In a remote corner of the southwest in the old 'Continental' campus in Beijing there is an ancient tomb. Few people here have a tomb with such magnificent scale . The owner of that tomb has a special status. Although not the royal prince liked it, but also the wealthiest first class. Although not a shogun, but his position is extremely glorious. That is the famous eunuch Ly Lien Anh dynasty Thanh.

Ly Lien Anh's grave is located on a land of about 20 acres extending from South to North. The northernmost point is the Kim Thuy Bridge, from the bridge to the north, there is a strong beer house built with white jade stone in Han Dynasty.

In the early summer of 1966, a team of about 5.6 people began to excavate Ly Lien Anh's tomb. The grave is now a block of land with a blockhouse located in a wild corner in Beijing's Haikou district. Roughly over a week of continuous digging, it seemed that the grave was unaffected.The grave is built with a mixture of soil mixed with egg white, sticky rice porridge, lime and basalt soil . After more than a week, I finally opened a small pocket on the grave that exposed a layer of marble. After a few blows of marble layer is still impassive. Everyone feels very desperate.

At this moment an old man came and, after knowing that everyone was digging Ly Lien Anh's grave, the old man felt extremely shocked and said: "Don't dig in vain, come here and show me how . " The old man pointed towards the gravestone and said to dig from here, below is the palace, the back will be the main road, when I used to go down there to play.

"Kim province pearl jeweled" noble

The old man only near two large stone steles before the grave. After the mixed soil is a layer of stone. After cleaning up the two-meter deep stone layer, a long blue rock appeared. On the rock has a circular pocket, this is where the yin and yang are connected . The grave of the tomb is a square of about 3m square and cut with white jade stone of Han Dynasty. The two walls of the East and West are all painted with extremely sophisticated paintings. Both sides of the North and South have doors. The south door is connected to the tomb, to the north and to the tomb.

Behind the door is a stone ball blocking the door. There is a small groove running along the bottom, when the door closes the ball will automatically roll into the groove like a latch stops so it cannot be pushed outside.

Ly Lien Anh's coffin, purple and purple at the beginning, is extremely delicate and has fallen out of position on the jade bed. Above the bed, the coffin was cast in white jade stone, perforated with a round hole, inside a hanging bag contained pearls and a little money in bronze. This proves that Ly Lien Anh was buried in the form of 'Kim province of pearl burial ' - a noble burial form at that time.

Looking around, on the wall of the crypt there are many yellow vestiges. This is probably the spot when the grave was flooded, the sprint left the mark, and it could also be flooded so the coffin was moved out of its original position.

When the lid of the coffin was turned on, a human figure was arranged neatly. Shaped head, neck, limbs and blankets. Truong Quang Tri, a ' Luc ' school teacher who directly participated in the excavation from beginning to end remembered:

After flipping the blanket, there is a layer of black mud below. When looking carefully, this is actually due to the mulch caused by the blanket. When putting your hand into the vest to move the body outside, the right shoe slipped out. Look inside like black cotton. Overlooking very thick clothing with the outer layer is a long coat that has not rotted. But the amazing thing is that no bones were found, but all were similar to black cotton.

When looking at the waist of the body, find a rosary and more than 50 dishes of kimchi can be customized. The first part of the coffin found a skull box with a high cheekbones, a waggling tooth, and a skin covering. Looking at the state of the coffin and the body inside is still in perfect condition, this proves that no one has ever been here. A big question is why in the coffin, only the skull bones could not find the bones and the body of Ly Lien Anh died for what reason?

The difficult mystery about Li Lien Anh's death

Along with the history, in October 1908, Tu Hy Thai died. In ' Ly thi gia gia ', it is written that 'The happy birthday of the elders, the elders of the old people ' (ie, waiting after 100 days of Tu Hy's death, Ly Lien Anh was brought to the countryside to take care of him). After returning to his home in the lane of Mien Hoa, Beijing, Li Lianying for the whole day only fasted, reciting Buddha's name did not go out . Three years later, he also followed almost every word of Xu Hy. According to the descendants of Ly Gia, Ly Thai Chi died of dysentery. After being sick for 3, 4 days without treatment, he died. But looking in the file and the tomb of the Qing Dynasty, only the word "processing " is not clear.

If based on the tomb excavation, it is likely that Li Lianying was killed, so who killed him and what purpose, there are three explanations:

Firstly, due to being killed . Because in the war between Xu Hy and Quang Tu emperor he supported the queen and attacked the emperor. But this view has met with opposition from many scholars. Ly Lien Anh never participated in the war in the court. That's why he couldn't be guilty of them. Moreover, after Tu Hy died, he came out of hiding for three years and no longer had any effect on the court, so he did not bring him any benefit.

The second is killed by Jiang Chao Tong and Xiao Duc Truong. This explanation is mainly the view of Nhan Nghi Dan. Even in his literature, he cites details that when Jiang Chao Tong took office as governor, he invited Ly Lien Anh to eat rice, then sent someone to kill him in Hau Hai, Beijing.

Proponents of this view argue that Jiang Chao Tong is the confidant of Vien The Khai. Li Lianying had once sinned with Yuan Shikai, so he might have ordered his faithful to kill the eunuch. Tieu Duc Truong is Ly Lien Anh's rearguard, because of the struggle for a family, he has an engine to kill him. But this explanation was also opposed by scholars because in the second year Tuyen Thong Giang Trieu Tong was inaugurated in the army in Han Trung and Shaanxi towns. It was not until 1912 that he returned to Beijing to assume the position of Beijing's guard on the Beiyang government. The fact that he was thousands of miles away could not invite Ly Lien Anh to eat rice to kill him. Moreover, in terms of public affairs, there is no conflict between two people so big that the motivation to kill people for revenge does not exist.

Third, on the way to collect debt in Shandong, Li Lianzheng was murdered. In this view, there are also many experts who feel suspicious. With Li Lien Anh's status and wealth, why did he have to personally collect debt? Those who supported this view explained that Ly Lien Anh had a niece for a family in Vo Le district, Shandong. He used to visit his granddaughter, making the way to sightseeing Thai Son mountain. When going to the border between Shandong and Hebei, it was killed. The two guardians followed the fear, only to be able to pick up the head of Ly Lien Anh to flee to the capital.

But these are only folk tales, but in the history books there is no clear record. Moreover, the lack of logic in the ways that people talk about Li Lianying only makes his death more mysterious. Regardless of the explanation, it is true that the intact body in Ly Lien Anh's coffin is true. The secret of the cause of his death may one day be found, but may also forever sink into the darkness of the historical past.
