Cixi said that weeds were not allowed to grow in her mausoleum. What did the officials think of?

Cixi said that weeds were not allowed to grow on her mausoleum, so officials thought of many ways. First, cooked soil was used, but the cooked soil grew grass, so sulfur was added to the cooked soil, and finally the grass didn't grow.

In the ancient feudal dynasty, the rulers attached great importance to what was behind them. Many kings began to deal with the things behind them as soon as they took office, especially the construction and site selection of tombs. Not only is it large enough, but there are many other requirements, such as not being able to finish it ahead of time or doing more research on anti-theft. Empress Dowager Cixi, as the ruler of the late Qing Dynasty, also attached great importance to the construction of the mausoleum. As we all know, Empress Dowager Cixi lived a luxurious life and was very cautious about the layout of the mausoleum. From the age of 38, she began to have a mausoleum built for her.

The main person in charge of building the mausoleum is the younger brother of Xianfeng king and the biological father of Guangxu king, which shows that Cixi attaches great importance to this matter. In the whole process of building the mausoleum, a lot of financial, material and human resources were spent. When the mausoleum was about to be completed, Empress Dowager Cixi was dissatisfied and had it rebuilt. Later, Empress Dowager Cixi had a whim. She is worried that in a hundred years, the grass will grow on her grave and she will become a fugitive. So she gave Huan Yi a very wonderful order, that is, let them find a way to stop the grave from growing grass. It is a natural law that grass grows in this soil, and this order of Empress Dowager Cixi is embarrassing to everyone.

They thought a lot of ways, and finally found when reading ancient books that cooked soil can inhibit the growth of grass, because after the soil is cooked, the nutrients in it will be lost. Later, these people began to stir-fry the soil to do experiments, but in the end they found it useless, and the grass still grew out, just when everyone was in a dilemma. Someone put forward a method, that is, adding sulfur to the soil will destroy the soil, resulting in no grass growing in the soil. Later, everyone tried it and found that this method is really useful. The task assigned by Empress Dowager Cixi was finally solved perfectly.
