It was said that the Emperor became very angry because some jealous ministers scolded that the General Cai Kai had spent too much money. He beheaded General Cai Kai. Then the Emperor sent a trusted ministers to check the great wall and was reported that the wall was was solid and steep with the finest workmanship. He built a a tomb and memorial stele in honor of the loyal general. The Emperor also wrote the two characters “Jin Tang” to show the great wall was firm and solid.
