Chapter 939: Watching the Mountain View from the City Tower
"What's consistent?" Not only did Bao Longtu not understand, but even Xiong Mao was a little confused.
"Qi ......" Fang Yuan said with a smile: "The qi of the national fortune after the Dingdu, before and now, should not have changed much. After all, during Zhu Di's reign, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty was also in the rising stage as it is now. Not surprisingly, after moving the capital at that time, looking at the mountains and looking at the gas here, what you see must also be a scene of thousands of rui qi and purple steaming. ”
Bao Longtu was suddenly stunned, and hurriedly asked, "What were you looking at just now?" ”
"Only a little bit." Fang Yuan frowned and said, "The angle here is not good, it is not intuitive and comprehensive enough. ”
"Go up to the attic." Xiong Mao suggested: "The best location is to watch the mountain view from the city tower. ”
"Is the attic open so early?" Bao Longtu looked up: "If you don't open it, you have to wait for ......"
"It's open, it should have been opened early." Xiong Mao said: "Generally speaking, someone who guards the attic gets up at dawn to clean the attic and opens the door to welcome guests. ”
"Just go up and have a look." Bao Longtu said, taking the lead.
The others followed briskly, and soon came to the attic door. As Xiong Mao said, at this time, the door of the pavilion was open, and several figures could be seen walking around the building, I don't know if it was a tourist who came early in the morning, or the person in charge of managing the attic.
Xiong Mao has been here, and he is also very proficient, so he led everyone up the stairs directly and quickly climbed to the top floor. Before they reached the edge of the attic and looked down on the surrounding landscape, they saw the presence of another group of people on the top of the attic.
Fang Yuan and the others glanced around, and their footsteps stopped. They didn't think of it either. Early in the morning, there are really tourists who climb to the top to watch the scenery. And depending on the situation, people have already come to the top of the pavilion. Witness the beauty of the rising sun. In comparison, they have been slow for a while. Missed the best opportunity to watch the sunrise.
At the same time, when the gang heard the movement, they also took advantage of the situation to look over, and there was a little more discoloration in their eyes.
These people are quite old, most of them are white-headed old people, and each of them is either dressed in Tang costumes or traditional robes, dressed casually. Look at the appearance, with the old man who goes to the park every day to exercise. There is no noticeable difference.
Perhaps these old people are the people who live nearby, so they can exercise in the mountains early.
But a moment later, Fang Yuan overturned such an idea. Because he sensed a special aura in these people, as if he had seen the same kind of ......
The people came first to occupy a favorable position, and Fang Yuan and the others naturally did not understand the rules and let the people come first and go away. Thankfully, the loft is wide enough that they can settle for less. Walking to the other end, you can still enjoy the scenery of the capital.
"It's beautiful."
At first glance, Bao Longtu couldn't help but admire. But after all, the attic was still outsider, and his voice was subconsciously lowered a little. But there was a lot of amazement in it. Everyone can feel it clearly.
Other people have the same feeling, overlooking the entire capital from the attic, you can intuitively experience the grandeur of the capital. Rolling and undulating. The endless high-rise buildings seem to have no boundaries. It continues to the end of the sky, as if it were crisscrossed by giant dragons. The coils are gathered in the middle of the earth.
It is no wonder that more than 700 years ago, after Kublai Khan conquered the Central Plains, he immediately abandoned the bitter cold land of the desert and came here to set up the capital, build a large number of buildings, and build the capital.
From the analysis of historical data, the founding of the Yuan Dynasty and the establishment of Yanjing as the capital are somewhat inevitable results. Because from the analysis of the geographical environment, the territory of the Yuan Dynasty was unprecedentedly wide, and if the capital was set in the hinterland of the Central Plains, then the control over other areas outside the Guanxi would be greatly weakened, which was not conducive to rule.
Kublai Khan was aware of this, so he expanded it on the basis of the capital of the Jin Kingdom and became the center of national power. That is, the predecessor of the capital of the Ming and Qing dynasties, Dadu!
From a military point of view, Yandu is located in a strong place, with mountains in the north and summer in the south. Moreover, depending on the Central Plains, it is high and risky, and there is a tendency to build a stronghold.
If there is turmoil in the Central Plains, the emperor can give orders and calmly mobilize troops and horses from all walks of life to the north and south, suppress and extinguish the scourge, and stabilize the rule.
So when Zhu Di intended to move the capital, many ministers were competing against each other, and some people thought it was a good idea. They believe that Yanjing is a mediocre pillow in the north, Taihang in the west, mountains and seas in the east, the Central Plains in the south, fertile fields for thousands of miles, mountains and rivers are victorious, and the Cheng Emperor is the capital of eternity.
To put it bluntly, from a military point of view, in the Ming Dynasty, Yanjing has become a base for resisting Mongolia. Zhu Di repeatedly conquered the desert, and it was from here that he gathered soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and then attacked with heavy fists.
For the ancients at that time, Mongolia was still the number one enemy in the Central Plains, and it could be called the enemy of the world. Zhu Di learned the lessons of the death of Hu in all dynasties, so he insisted on moving the capital to Yanjing, forming an oppressive trend against foreign races.
It is a pity that the emperors of the later generations of the Ming Dynasty were not angry, or the literati and bureaucrats were pulling their hind legs, and directly ignored Zhu Di's strategic ideas, so that the Ming Dynasty died in the Qing Dynasty.
In addition, from the perspective of feng shui, the capital is also qualified to become the residence of the emperor and the land of the king. According to the analysis of the ancients, the land of Youzhou, the highest Yanshan, like the heavenly city, covers the positive knot of Beiping, and its dragon Kunlun is in the middle vein, stretching for thousands of miles.
In terms of the law of geography, the length of its dragon potential, the beauty of the wall, the end of the dragon, the landscape conference, with the Yellow River, Tianshou, the Yalu entanglement, the stone key to its door, the most in line with the law of feng shui. In terms of form, the swallow thistle crosses the Central Plains inside, and the desert outside, and the world will really be. The shape is better than the world, with mountains and seas, and there is the solidity of golden soup.
In other words, the place where the capital is located is the Tianshi Wall Bureau, where the great dragon veins of feng shui are located.
However, as we all know, the method of feng shui is the first to obtain water, and the second is to hide the wind. After all, water is the origin of all things, and so is the ancestor of all beings. Without the nourishment of water, neither human beings, nor animals and plants can survive.
Water gathers qi and is a symbol of vitality. The ancient Chinese environment emphasized the gathering of qi, and it was believed that if you find a place where vitality gathers, you will find a treasure of feng shui. The qi in feng shui is in its original form water qi and cloud qi, and its root still comes from water. Therefore, Feng Shui is revering qi, which is actually worshipping water.
Furthermore, water is closely linked to wealth in Feng Shui. Feng Shui theory believes that water is the mother of qi, and if it is reversed, it will gather but not disperse. Water is wealth, and the song is left but not gone.
Therefore, the capital city must be built near the water. In the eyes of Feng Shui masters, there are four waters in the capital.
Qinglong water is the white river, out of the clouds, south to Tongzhou City. The white tiger water is the jade river, out of the Yuquan Mountain through the inner city, out of the capital, into the Hui River, and the white river. Suzaku water is the Lugou River, out of Datong Sanggan, into Wanping boundary. The Xuanwu water is wet, and the sorghum, huanghua, Zhenchuan, and Yuhe rivers are all in the north of the Jingshi, and the east is combined with the Baihe River.
It is the convergence of these four rivers that creates the cobweb-like rivers and lakes dotted with lakes in the small plains of the capital. Between the mountains and rivers, the capital is warm and rich, the soil is fertile and beautiful, and it becomes a heavenly mansion.
Such a situation, in feng shui terms, is a place where Tibetan wind gathers qi.
Such a place is naturally the inevitable result of the establishment of the fixed capital. The ancient feng shui masters were not stupid, and now that such a good place is presented, they must aim at the right time to report it in exchange for high-ranking officials.
Fang Yuan's mind was full of thoughts, and all kinds of thoughts fluctuated, and finally turned into a sigh: "It's a pity." ”
"What a pity?" Bao Longtu was a little inexplicable: "What's a pity?" ”
Fang Yuan shook his head, but he didn't want to say more.
Seeing this, Bao Longtu immediately became anxious, and said in a trance: "I hate people like you the most, half of the words are left half, and the appetite is aroused, and it is not neat at all." ”
"It's not that I don't want to say it, but if I say it, you may not understand." Fang Yuan smiled bitterly, he really wasn't a traitor.
"You can insult my personality, but you can't insult my intelligence." Bao Longtu was even more angry: "You haven't said it yet, how do you know that I definitely don't understand?" ”
"Okay." Fang Yuan pointed helplessly: "Look at ......"
Bao Longtu looked up and saw that the sky was clear, the sun was shining, and there were white clouds flying, but it was a rare good day with a good wind and sunshine. He looked at it for a while, very confused: "What are you looking at?" ”
Xiong Mao understood people, and said with a smile: "Brother Bao, Master Fang asked you to look at it, but you can't see it, so he is naturally not easy to explain." ”
Bao Longtu was speechless for a moment, and then said strongly: "You said it earlier, otherwise I would have thought you would have let me watch the plane." ”
"Look at what planes." Fang Yuan laughed: "I said it when I didn't come up, this is the best place to look at qi, you forgot it so quickly?" ”
"I haven't forgotten, I just think it's strange......" Bao Longtu's eyes rolled, and he immediately thought of a reason to resolve the embarrassment: "Aren't you looking at it, what do you say it's a pity?" Could it be ...... See what serious problems you see? ”
"Huh?" Xiong Mao was immediately startled, and hurriedly turned his head and said: "Master Fang, the purple qi rising in the sky above the capital, and the rui qi floating and falling like a canopy, is a sign of the prosperity of the country, so there won't be any problems." ”
"You'll ...... later"
Fang Yuan was about to explain, but he was interrupted by Bao Longtu.
"What's wrong?" Fang Yuan was a little puzzled.
Bao Longtu pointed to the side and whispered, "Those people are here." ”
"Huh?" Fang Yuan was stunned, turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a few old people, who seemed to be tired of seeing the scenery over there, and were walking leisurely.
Seeing this situation, Fang Yuan wanted to greet everyone and continue to transfer his position. But after a glance of his eyes, he immediately changed his mind, not only stopped, but after deliberation, he also tentatively shouted: "Mr. Kong? ”
With a sound of "brush", the footsteps of several old people who came over also froze, and then their eyes subconsciously aimed at one of the old men.
The old man looked very ordinary and ordinary, and he followed behind very low-key, but when the eyes of the others converged, he was immediately exposed. This surprised him, but also curious: "You...... Know me? (To be continued!)
