Back to the Ming Dynasty Chapter 59 Night View of the Imperial City
It's hard to say about Park Enbei and Ah Ling, it seems that Lin Hainan was also pulled over by this Yongan princess, and he is also one of the victims, looking at his disgraced face, he also knows that he is not very willing to go crazy with them, and he has a lot of things, since he became the inspector of the construction of the imperial city, he has not been idle. A modern person went to the Ming Dynasty and participated in the construction of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Palace. I'm afraid that whoever I go back to say will not believe it, after all, the ruins of the Ming Emperor's Palace have always been divided in opinion, and there is no way to verify it, and it is buried under the city of Beijing. If it is the imperial palace of the Qing Dynasty, he can still boast when he goes back that he repaired the bricks and tiles of that pillar and that hall. It's hilarious when he thinks about it. The three of them unknowingly crossed over here, and followed the prince to become an unknown purpose official.
Lin Hainan was thinking, a few people had unconsciously come to the night market in the capital, they had been in the capital for so long, but he had never come to visit, Feng Jianfei was the same, Feng Jianfei was either in the Chen Mansion or in the Prince's Mansion before, although the imperial capital came and went a few times, but it was only those few streets, and they were all dead. didn't take a closer look, Lin Hainan was even less, he had been in the Chen Mansion before, learning crafts from Lin Ming'an, and even the clothes were made by Ah Ling, so he didn't come out at all.
Lin Hainan looked at the night scene of the imperial city, and was secretly surprised in his heart, he couldn't imagine that the city of the Ming Dynasty was so developed, and he was also a person who had read history books, and he also knew that since the Tang and Song dynasties, China's urban culture had developed to a certain peak, and the Yuan Dynasty was ruled by foreign peoples and declined, but since the Ming and Qing dynasties, Chinese cities have also inherited the culture of the Tang and Song dynasties, and they have developed extremely rapidly. Lin Hainan saw that there are some civil structure houses all around, not high, but there are also pavilions and pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, the lights are bright, most of the houses around this are newly built, the highest also has a triple building, the eaves are flying, the four corners are piled up, and the lights are hung everywhere. The eaves are covered with dark glazed tiles, and the house is painted with gold, and the carved beams are painted, and the top is gilded, and the gold is brilliant. It's not spectacular. Liu Yong of the Song Dynasty once wrote a lyric about Qiantang at that time: the southeast shape is victorious, the three Wu capitals, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. The smoke willow paints the bridge, the wind curtain is green, and there are 100,000 people. Cloud trees surround the embankment. The angry waves roll frost and snow, and the sky is endless. The city is a jewel, the household is profitable, and the competition is luxurious. Heavy lakes are stacked on top of each other. There are three autumn laurels and ten miles of lotus. Qiang tube clear, Lingge flooded the night, frolicking and fishing lotus baby. Thousands of horsemen have high teeth. Listen to the flute and drum while drunk, and enjoy the smoke. It is said that because the Jiangnan described in this word is too beautiful, it attracted the Jin people to wave their troops south. Let's not talk about the truth or falsehood of this thing, but only this description. The certificate is like a beautiful flower roll. Lin Hainan is also a person who is familiar with history, but he has never really seen this ancient city. And it's also the imperial capital. Now it is really extraordinary, although Liu Yong wrote things in the Song Dynasty, but they looked at the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and they knew that what Liu Yong described was not out of nowhere. It should be said that the prosperity of this city is better than that poem.
Lin Hainan looked everywhere, and he no longer had the displeasure of being forced to go shopping. But a total admiration, a kind of enjoyment, a kind of appreciation, this city, if placed in modern times, every street corner can be used as a scene, every building, is a living fossil, a priceless precious heritage. Pity...... Lin Hainan shook his head. Feng Jianfei is also like him, now he jumps up and down, fades out to play. Naturally, those women don't need to say, Ah Ling is quiet, after all, she is everyone's girlfriend. This Park Enbei and Princess Yongan are amazing, they are like crazy, and they don't know which crazy woman these two women are. This princess now seems to be similar to a modern girl, she doesn't look like a princess at all, and she just wants to play. When you see something, it's like seeing a treasure, and you want to go up and see it silently. Is this just the beginning, it is estimated that after a while, as soon as the shopping boom of these two women comes, the princess will be big, maybe she will buy everything she likes, Lin Hainan looked at Feng Jianfei, and felt a little worried in his heart, this person will definitely be miserable later, the subordinates of the two people, he will have something to take later, but he doesn't care, he has all the strength, he is afraid that they will not buy it. Lin Hainan thought about it, there was still a man here, and it was estimated that he would not be spared later, so he simply didn't think about it, and the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became.
Although there were no electric lights in the Ming Dynasty, the candles on this street were bright, and at a glance, they were not much worse than the current metropolis.
Such a scene, Lin Hainan may have never seen such a spectacular scene in his dreams, they make cultural relics, their favorite is the ancient style, ancient feelings, and have an inexplicable emotion for antiquities. However, when a city is full of antiquities, and even people are antiquities in front of him, he is not shocked. This imperial capital is resplendent with all kinds of shops, large and small vendors, and the sound of selling is endless. On the streets, from time to time, there are also delicate horses passing by, and the ones riding on them are not those dignitaries and rich old ladies and ladies. It's a good line. The more they walked towards the inner city, the more lively it became. There are vendors selling stuff everywhere. On both sides of the street, wherever there is room for goods, it is occupied. There is also an endless stream of tourists coming and going. It attracted Lin Hainan's admiration.
"Brother Lin, this night market in the capital is a must in the capital, and these vendors and guests here don't know where they came from, maybe they heard that the emperor is going to move over, and they all come here to take root, this night market, from late to morning. It's been bustling all the time. When it was almost dawn in the morning, the stall was closed and the day's things were placed. What is sold at night is completely different from what is sold during the day, and everything that is sold at night is available. All kinds of supplies, curiosities. Ubiquitous. I don't know where so many people came from. Ah Ling said.
"That's it, most of these traders are travelers who travel from south to north, this emperor has to relocate, Ken is attracting a lot of businessmen to invest here, the more things this businessman sells, the more things he sells, the more guests he naturally has, if it is peaceful today, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and it is naturally the time to enjoy a better life," Lin Hainan analyzed. A bite of the modern iconic analysis, I don't know how much Ah Ling understands.
"There are many of them, and there are many sects and nine streams, and all kinds of charlatans and swindlers have also taken root in this capital. Fortunately, this area is under the management of the Prince's Mansion, but it is well organized, and no one dares to come nonsense. Ah Ling said.
"Yes, the forest is big, and there are ...... all kinds of birds," Lin Hainan replied casually.
"Ah, it seems to be like that, Brother Lin, you are really knowledgeable" Ah Ling looked at Lin Hainan and said.
"Sister Ah Ling, don't listen to him, how can he be educated, that's nonsense! Listen to your brother Feng, what is this called a bird
There are all kinds of forests, "Feng Jianfei is also full of nonsense. Ah Ling just smiled, no matter what he said.
"Look, these are those charlatans! Deceive people everywhere for money...... Ah Ling pointed to an old man in front of her.
Lin Hainan looked at the old man in front of him, who was about fifty or sixty years old, and it was difficult to judge the specific age. Although the ancients are not very old, they look a lot older, this old man is sitting in a precarious position, the weather in the north is a little cold at night, but this old man is dressed in green clothes, and he looks very thin. But he was in good spirits. Gray beard with a bun tied on his head. Eyes lit up. It's a bit of a fairy wind bone.
There is a square table in front of him, which is also not big, holding a paper fan in his hand, and a white-background black-edged canvas hanging from bamboo next to it, with golden and jade words written on it!
Lin Hainan listened to Ah Ling's words, but he didn't take it to heart, or that sentence, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, maybe these masters are not in the people. Especially in this aspect of metaphysics, ancient times are much stronger than modern times, although these things cannot be explained by science, but after all, they are real, and they are not allowed to doubt others, you believe it, don't believe it, don't say that people are right and wrong, he is also a person with strange arts, the ancestors of their Lin family, it is said that they are guided by masters, and they have a technique, so he still respects these people, maybe the other party is a master. Especially in this Ming Dynasty. Isn't there a founding teacher Liu Ji? This Liu Jike is incredible. It is said that Lin Hainan's ancestors have all been blessed by him, but such a master may have already buried his bones in the green mountains.
Speaking of this Liu Ji, he has a great background. The Hereafter will also know it. Lin Hainan heard his father talk about it, and it is said that this Liu Ji gave them a great favor to the Lin family, of course, this is a later story.
There are often a few sentences in the folk that this Liu Ji character Bowen is said to have been written by Liu Bowen, and I don't know whether it's true or not. : The Three Kingdoms established Zhuge Liang and ruled the world Liu Bowen. It means that Berwyn is stronger than Zhuge Liang. No matter how strong Zhuge Liang is, he is only three points of the world, but Liu Bowen can dominate the world. Therefore, Liu Bowen wanted to dig Zhuge Liang's grave to prove that he was stronger than Zhuge Liang. But Liu Bowen dug up Zhuge Liang's grave, and then saw the words on the stone tablet, which read: I will be born of Berwen in the future, who will be born in the world? This is my suspicion of stealing the grave, forgive you for daring to invade. This poem was written by Zhuge Liang. It shows that Zhuge Liang is far better than Liu Bowen by a hundred times. Because Liu Bowen really can't calculate what kind of big man will be born hundreds of years after his death. But Zhuge Liang knew that a thousand years later, there would be a smart man named Liu Bowen. Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period knew astronomy and geography, knew the yin and the sunny, and called for wind and rain. Assisted Liu Bei to fight the world, strategize, win a hundred battles, govern the Tianfu Shu Han Kingdom, do his best, and die. Zhuge Liang's talent is world-famous, well-known, meritorious, and exemplary. The people of all generations have been in awe of it, and the heroes and heroes have been impressed by it.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, China produced another great talent, and this person had the talent of Wang Zuozhi. This person's surname is Liu, his name is Ji, Zibo Wenjing is three Tao and six strategies, he is good at foresight, can send wind and rain, and can anticipate things like a god. Assisted Zhu Yuanzhang to collude with the people to kill the Tartars on August 15, raise troops to destroy the Yuan and seize Jinling, and became a famous founder of the Ming Dynasty. It was said that Liu Bowen was the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, and Kong Ming was reincarnated. Berwyn is proud of his talents, high skills, and high morality, and often talks long and short to Zhuge Liang, and makes judgments. The words clearly reveal the inner dissatisfaction.
"Kong Ming is very knowledgeable, I am only one centimeter short of him; Kong Ming's virtue is extraordinary, I only lack a little compared to him; Kong Ming's wisdom is outstanding, I am only a little less than his orange; after Kong Ming's prediction, I am not a prophet, and I am not below him. The text contains that Zhuge Liang was expected to decide who would come to pay tribute after his death, who would come to dig the tomb, and record it in the book, engrave it on the tablet, and go to the next dynasty and across generations. I decided to go to the cemetery to pay respects, Kong Ming if expected, I knelt on my knees and kowtowed a thousand, Kong Ming didn't expect anything, laughed at him three feet shorter than me. Berwyn was unprecedented, disrespectful, and horrified to the left and right, and did not dare to say more.
