In the Ming Dynasty, there was a famous upright official named Wang Shiqi. It is said that Marco was buried when he died. But surprisingly, when his tomb was unearthed 300 years later, it was found that there was gold worth 654.38+0 billion! This can't help but make people wonder if this person is an honest official. Is he a hypocrite? If you want to know why, you must start with life in Wang Shiqi.

Historical records: Wang Shiqi (1551~1618), a native of Linhai, Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, was a military strategist in the Ming Dynasty, and wrote a book "A Brief Introduction to the East Expedition". Eleven years of Wanli, thirty-three years old, Jinshi. When he was appointed as the magistrate of Chongqing, he rode alone to Bozhou to appeal to Yang Yinglong, urging soldiers in eastern Sichuan to prepare for the agreement. At the age of 47, Japan invaded Korea. His immediate superior, Ministry of War Shangshu, led 20,000 troops, which were divided into three ways. Wang Shiqi also supervises two armies.

At the critical moment of almost defeat and retreat, "Wang Shiqi, the supervisor of the army, was angry, bound the Chinese army, feared it and struggled to break it." (Ming history). After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, he was promoted and rewarded. It can be said that he turned the tide and stabilized the morale of the army.

After the war, he continued to be reused. At the age of 68, he died in Shanxi due to illness. Fallen leaves return to their roots, and Wang Shiqi was buried in his hometown near the sea after his death. People by the sea are proud of him, because he was born in Daming, works hard and has a high reputation. Even after his death, he was poor and buried in a straw mat. His story was passed down from mouth to mouth by fellow villagers, so it was very famous in the local area.

There are hundreds of millions of gold in the tomb. In the last century, an official's tomb in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty was unearthed in Linhai, Zhejiang Province. Because of the large amount of gold unearthed in the tomb, all fields were shocked. The cultural relics department sent a cultural relics team to inspect and protect the ancient tomb. It's amazing to see countless kinds of gold wares, which are exquisite in workmanship and ingenious in conception. There are 107 funerary objects, such as Jin Yuchan, Yulao Jin Lu and Mei He. There are 22 gold wares listed as national first-class cultural relics.

According to experts' research, all the gold wares have reached the imperial level, which represents the superb craftsmanship of ancient gold wares in China. They are peerless treasures with a rough valuation of at least 1 100 million yuan. Besides, according to the time and place and the epitaph, experts can conclude that this grave is Wang Shiqi's grave. At that time, people around me had different opinions and wondered why there were so many gold, silver and jewels in their tombs.

It turns out that Wang Shiqi really lived a clean life, died penniless and was buried in a hurry. However, after his death, someone reported the terrible situation of his burial to Emperor Wanli. When Emperor Wanli heard that Wang Shiqi's funeral was so shabby, he ordered the renovation of the mausoleum, presented a large number of funerary gold wares, and had a stone pavilion built in front of the tomb to show his comfort.

During the Wanli period, three major battles took place, and the third war was Wang Shiqi's victory. So he tried his best to make this excellent soldier who fought for him and killed the enemy get mourning and glory after his death, otherwise it would chill the heart of a military commander who worked for him. At this point, all the truth came out. It turns out that this has nothing to do with Wang Shiqi himself. It was the emperor who stuffed gold into the grave, which he never expected.

Related deeds: father and son are four scholars, one door and three princes.

Wang has three sons, the eldest, the second and the third, Shi Changdu, who became a scholar in high school. Later, three of them became governors, the old man was in charge of Fengyang, the second was in charge of Datong and Fu Xuan, and the third was in charge of Fujian. Therefore, the saying that "father and son are four scholars, one door is three overseers" has been circulated for a hundred years. Because their father and son lived a clean and honest life, the people of Fucheng gave them ten national umbrellas, and now the ten umbrella alleys in Zhejiang are named after them.

Swallows under the eaves of Wang Dao and Xie An have now flown into the homes of ordinary people. Now we can only see Wang Shiqi's tomb and Ten Umbrella Hutong, and listen to his story to commemorate his honesty and merits.
