83 Suzhou and Hangzhou
The next day, when they arrived in Suzhou, the three of them stayed for a few days, and it was already the middle of July. Zhu Shiyang was anxious to see the lotus flowers on the West Lake, and ordered to continue untying the cable and heading south.
On the day he arrived in Hangzhou, Zhu Shiyang was in a state of excitement last night, and he slept unsteadily, and spent the whole day in the cabin to make up for sleep.
Zhu Shiyang guessed that β‘β‘ was in Hangzhou, his heart moved, and he hurriedly ran to the window to look, but he saw a piece of green willows brushing the embankment, the sunset reflecting the water, the boats on the shore were vertical and horizontal, and the water birds were circling. Zhu Shiyang leaned out of the window more and more, wanting to enjoy it carefully, but at this time, he heard the footsteps outside the cabin approaching, and suddenly, Zhu Shiji pushed the door in, and saw him standing at the window blowing the wind in only a bed coat, and couldn't help laughing: "When did the imperial brother wake up?" If you don't wear clothes, you'll catch a cold. As he spoke, he took off the brocade robe from the hanger on the side and put it on him, and said, "Brother Huang, clean up, the carriage in the courtier's house is already waiting on the shore." β
Zhu Shiyang cleaned up and washed up, then got off the boat with a radiant face, and took a carriage to the palace.
Kangping Wangfu is just outside the city of Hangzhou, because it is built by the mountain, the scenery is beautiful, before entering the palace gate, you can already see the golden tile like scales, relying on the mountain to spread layer by layer and spread up, you can't see the edge at a glance. In the meantime, Zhu Pavilion Qihu, splendid buildings, staggered covering. The smoke willow is slanted, the bridge is like weaving, leaning on each other, the indescribable Jiangnan sentiment, the heavenly family is romantic.
Before Zhu Shiyang got off the carriage, he was already in his mouth, and he was amazed, but Lu Wenyuan was very frightened when he looked at the yellow tiles and golden eaves all over the mountains, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but ask: "The yellow tile is dedicated to the imperial city, why is the prince's mansion also made of yellow tiles?" β
Lu Wenyuan has a taboo in the end, and the word "Chenyue" can't be said no matter what, but how could Zhu Shiji not understand, and before he could respond, Zhu Shiyang smiled on the side: "You don't know the origin of this Kangping Palace, no wonder you have such thoughts." β
Lu Wenyuan was quite surprised, Zhu Shiji arched his hand on the side, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Huang, quickly explain it to Lord Lu for his minister, such a wronged injustice, but the younger brother doesn't want to suffer it even for a moment." β
Zhu Shiyang said with a smile: "King Kangping was frightened, when the palace was just built, the officials in the court and the central government were arguing over this tile, and those who were anxious all came to the door of the palace, so scared that King Kangping did not dare to go out for several months. β
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhu Shiji with a smile and continued: "This palace was originally built on the site of the Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Palace. At that time, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and I Shangshu said that although the Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Palace had been burned down several times and was demolished by the former Yuan demon monk Yang Lian Zhenjia, there was still one hall and two pavilions. However, in the late Southern Song Dynasty, the imperial city began to use yellow tiles as the eaves to highlight the royal prestige, which was popular in the former Yuan Dynasty, and now it has become customized. The one hall and two pavilions are all yellow tiles, if you want to expand on this basis, either the entire palace is made of yellow tiles, or the eaves of the one hall and two pavilions will be replaced. β
Zhu Shiyang said that at this point, the family members of the house had opened the door of the house and welcomed the three people in. I saw that this Kangping Wangfu is quite large, enter the door, first is a white stone road, about a shot of the place, leading to an octagonal pavilion of carved railings and painted columns, five-color eaves beams, the ancient trees on both sides of the road are towering to the sky, the thick shade covers the road, the birds chirp, the strange stones are craggy. When you close the door, you will feel like you have entered a paradise, and you don't know where you are, only the blue waves are full of greenery. This is only a corner of the palace, because it is still far away from the main hall, the three of them got on the shoulders and were carried in by the sedan chair man in the palace.
Zhu Shiyang sat on the sedan chair, turned his head sideways and continued with Lu Wenyuan: "King Kangping and I are quite fond of the Southern Song Dynasty, and when I saw what King Kangping said in his letter, I had the intention to restore the original appearance of the Southern Song Dynasty Palace. β
Lu Wenyuan nodded slightly when he heard this, and Zhu Shiji said: "I also blame the former Yuan demon monk Yang Lian Zhenjia for being hateful, not only demolishing and abusing the Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Palace, but also stealing the tomb and building a tower, destroying the spirit of the king of Lin'an, and the corpse of Song Lizong was desecrated, and the head was used as a drowning weapon by Yuan Man!" If it weren't for meβ‘β‘ the emperor would return to Benling, I am afraid that I would not be able to live in peace under the spring. The king felt depressed when he thought about it, so he instructed the craftsmen to tear down all the five Buddhist temples that the evil monk had built on the ruins of the palace, and use the bricks and stones to build the latrines in the palace. The Buddhist temples on the left and right have already been burned down by lightning strikes, and Yang Lian Zhenjia is vicious, and the Buddha will not blame this king. β
Zhu Shiyang said with a smile: "Not only will I not blame you, but I will be grateful to you for doing a great thing for Buddhism!" There are such believers, but I am afraid that the Buddha will also feel disgusting in his heart, and his face will be gloomy. I want to say that although the Southern Song Dynasty was in a corner of peace and did not want to forge ahead, it was the world of the Han people. As Han Chinese, you and I should always take this as a warning and strive to improve ourselves. β
Zhu Shiji said with a smile: "The imperial brother has taught him a great lesson, and now the northwest Wara has been touched by the kindness of the imperial brother, bowing his head to the ministers, and there is no border trouble for the time being, but the neighboring Tatars are often ready to move, harassing and looting in the south, and the people in the border pass are overwhelmed. Its tiger and wolf heart is obvious, and it must be guarded against. β
Zhu Shiyang nodded and said: "These barbarians are indeed hateful, Lu Wenyuan has reminded me of the Tatar rebellion a few days ago, and I specially transferred General Weiyuan to the border pass to sit in the town, I don't think there will be a big mess in the future." Now that the treasury of the Ming Dynasty is full, I have you and Lu Wenyuan as my right-hand men, and I will never let the barbarians have a chance. β
Zhu Shiji said: "The imperial brother is wise and promising, and the younger brother and Lord Lu must do their best to follow the left and right." β
While speaking, the three of them have walked to a courtyard door, a moon gate with vines and willows passed, it is a typical Suzhou and Hangzhou garden landscape, a path leads straight to the secluded place, the wild flowers on both sides are blowing, the bamboo is in the way, and the three shoulders have to be lined up in front and back. When the green shade on both sides will end, but the sound of the water is quiet, the three people are in front of the eyes, they have come out of the bamboo forest, a small bridge flowing water in front of them, the bridge takes the Taihu Lake stone as the pier, the flowing water under the bridge is clear, with the bamboo leaves that fall sporadically, it merges into a small lake not far away, the lotus flowers in the lake are blooming, the lotus leaves are in the field, the red carp is playing in the water, and the swallows fly low.
Zhu Shiji saw Zhu Shiyang and Lu Wenyuan looking greedily, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Chen's palace was originally built in imitation of the shape of the Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Palace, and by the grace of the imperial brother, countless rewards, it can be regarded as poor and extravagant, there are 12 gardens in the house, eight large and small lakes, three main halls, a total of 36 courtyards, even pavilions and pavilions are counted, there are 408 houses, overlooking from a high place, you can see the magnificent scenery of the West Lake. If you want to enjoy it seriously, I'm afraid that you won't be able to finish it in a day. β
Zhu Shiyang said with a smile: "No wonder I rewarded you for living in Nanjing, you didn't rely on it, it turned out to be a place like this heavenly palace." Now it seems that even my Forbidden City can't compare. β
Zhu Shiji said with a smile: "The Forbidden City is resplendent and brilliant, showing the majesty of the heavenly family, which can be compared to the jasper-like palace of the younger brother." Thinking about the lack of remnants in the Southern Song Dynasty and the lack of relegation to a corner, it was impossible to deter the alien regimes in the north, which was also due to the fact that the palace was more than graceful and not majestic enough. The younger brother has been influenced by the palace in recent years, and he is as sentimental as those Southern Song Dynasty emperors, chanting poems all day long, and he can't raise his ambitions. β
Zhu Shiyang laughed and said, "King Kangping's words are sad. It seems that Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing that year can be described as a wise move, the emperor only himself is close to the border pass, day by day by the threat of barbarians outside the pass, in order to diligently reorganize, in danger of peace, otherwise sink in the gentle township on the Qinhuai River, let you have all kinds of ambitions, time is long, but I am afraid that it will be exhausted. β
Zhu Shiji thought so.
Talking and laughing, the three of them have passed through several courtyards, and there are gradually pavilions and pavilions in the shade of mountains and rivers, carved railings and painted walls, which can be seen in front of people's eyes. After walking about tea time, the pavilion was denser, the pavilions were stacked, and the shoulders could no longer walk through it, so the three of them got down from the sedan chair and continued to walk inward. Inside and outside around the courtyard do not know how many times, only to see the outline in front of the eyes clearly, a large hall rises from the ground, can not be said not to be magnificent, the plaque on the three golden glittering big characters "Dezheng Palace", in the sunset sun looks particularly brilliant and dazzling.
After the Dezheng Palace, and through the back garden, a moon gate passes, which is the courtyard where King Kangping lives on weekdays. Zhu Shiji took Zhu Shiyang and Lu Wenyuan inward again, originally wanting them to choose their favorite courtyard, but Zhu Shiyang was a little tired all the way down, and all the courtyards have the charm of each place, Zhu Shiyang had already picked his eyes, so he chose the courtyard adjacent to Zhu Shiji, and Lu Wenyuan had to go inside, adjacent to Zhu Shiyang, and separated from Zhu Shiji. It was not early, the three of them had settled down, and after dinner in one place, they went back to their rooms to rest. That night, because Zhu Shiyang had reached the end of the southern tour of the micro-service, he was calm and slept very soundly.
Get up early the next day, it is an excellent weather, after breakfast, Zhu Shiji took the two of them to climb high and look at the panoramic view of the West Lake, only to see a pavilion towering, the West Lake is like a jasper inlaid in it, bright and beautiful. Zhu Shiyang still didn't like to see it from afar, so the three of them came to the lakeside smoke and rain upstairs, ordered the vinegar fish of the West Lake, and Linxuan overlooked the lotus flowers on the lake. The fragrance of flowers hits the nose, and the smell of fish warms the stomach, making people happy and forgetful.
In the next few days, the three of them turned around the city of Hangzhou, which was not endless. It's a pity that time is fleeting, and in a blink of an eye, August is approaching, and Zhu Shiyang has been idle for more than half a month in this Kangping Palace. The time to return to Beijing is approaching, Lu Wenyuan began to prepare for the return trip, every day is quite busy, and there is no time to visit the mountains and rivers, Zhu Shiyang walks around the mansion alone, climbs to the heights to watch the scenery, admires the flowers and fishes, but is also leisurely.
On this day, Zhu Shiyang and his family put a few pots of sake and a few dishes in the attic of his courtyard, planning to drink in the wind, and wanted to call Zhu Shiji too, but Zhu Shiji was unfortunately invited by a wealthy family in the city to enjoy the painting, so Zhu Shiyang had to drink alone.
At this time, it is just after the middle of the day, although it is early autumn, but the weather is still hot, fortunately, the drizzle fell last night, and the summer heat was forced to disperse a little, and the attic was in a high place, and the breeze was gentle, but it was also particularly comfortable. Zhu Shiyang slowly drank a few glasses of wine, and ate a few more mouthfuls of food, as far as the eye could see, it was all lush and lush, and the undried raindrops condensed on the tips of the leaves, shining dazzling in the sun. Zhu Shiyang saw that he was in a good mood, so he stood up from behind the table, holding the wine jug and wine glass in his hand, and while pouring himself a drink, he scattered around the attic.
This attic is considered to be the tallest building in the whole palace, through the branches and leaves, you can also see the West Lake in the distance, in which the boats shuttle back and forth, worthy of a famous spot. Zhu Shiyang looked at it for a while, and then turned to the other side, which was the golden roof of the Dezheng Palace. Further alongside, you can overlook the scenery in the back garden. The back garden is Lu Wenyuan's residence, which is the layout of the furnishings, forests, mountains and stones, more exquisite than the garden here, Zhu Shiyang was waiting to take a closer look at the railing, but saw a figure in a side room flashed, it was Lu Wenyuan who wore a white robe, held a few account books and an abacus in his arms, walked to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down, spread paper and ink, ready to settle accounts.
Zhu Shiyang saw it from upstairs and was going to call him, but before he opened his mouth, he had already seen his mind. At this time, Lu Wenyuan had already begun to play with the abacus, and he could faintly hear the sound of the jasper beads colliding, the strange stones in the courtyard were stacked, the pines and bamboos were bright and green, and the streams were meandering.
The more Zhu Shiyang looked, the more he felt that he couldn't take his eyes off, and he was stunned, and he felt that the blue waters of the West Lake and the magnificent Southern Song Dynasty palace in the distance were eclipsed. Zhu Shiyang then thought that Lu Wenyuan seemed to exist like this in his own life, he never made himself crazy and enthusiastic, but when all the prosperity faded, he was always the only one left in his eyes, just like a pool of jasper in the clear water after the sediment settled.
Thinking like this, Zhu Shiyang unconsciously brought a smile on his lips.
