Chapter 222: Minor Report
Mr. Qian led Liu Rui to the garden in Nancheng, and from a distance, he saw many craftsmen piling mountains and planting trees there.
This garden was built for the people to play, so there was no wall, only a wooden fence was used outside, and through the fence, you could see that the garden was getting greener, and there were many flowers that had gradually opened.
Liu Rui nodded: "Yes, yes, the tree that was planted is still small, and when it grows in a few years, I am afraid that this garden will be a scene in Chang'an." β
Director Qian smiled: "What you said is that you will have a good life when you get closer." β
After walking for a while and entering the garden, because Master Qian had also worked in the garden with Qi Jing earlier, most of the craftsmen recognized him and greeted him one after another.
Master Qian beckoned to the craftsmen and said, "Leave me alone, I'll come over and see how you should do your work and how to do it." β
Those craftsmen also knew that the money master had a good temper, so they smiled at him and went back to work.
Liu Rui saw that there is a gate made of bluestone in this garden, after the gate, there are several bluestone paths that bend and lead to all directions, the weeping willows are planted on the roadside, and now they have seen the green, under the green willows are planted some flowers and plants of various colors, not far apart, there is a chair carved with stones, or a bench made of simple nails of logs for visitors to rest.
Another journey, there is a rockery piled up in the face of the rockery, I don't know how to get it, there is a waterfall above the rockery, the waterfall goes straight down, splashing a lot of water in a pool.
Bypassing the rockery, the eyes suddenly opened up, it was actually a big artificial lake, along the lake, there are many flowering fruit trees of various colors, peach and plum, and there are more such as Xifu begonia. Cherry blossoms, white magnolias, purple magnolias, lilacs, spring and so on are all spring flowering trees, although there are no flowers blooming at this time, but Liu Rui can also think of what kind of beauty the garden is when these trees bloom.
Liu Rui smiled and nodded: "It's hard for you to have a heart, this garden is well built." β
Director Qian laughed: "These are all made earlier when Qi Zhuangyuan was here, and these trees were also planted in the summer and autumn last year. Now they are all alive. β
"It's hard for him." Liu Rui has a good impression of Qi Jing. followed with a compliment.
There is a bridge on the lake, and you can cross the bridge and wait until you cross the bridge. Liu Rui's face was much more exciting.
Originally, the gate into the garden can be described as a scene of ten steps, and the small place is extremely delicate and wonderful, but after crossing the lake, you will see a large green meadow. There were a number of holly, pine, cypress and other trees on the meadow, and there was no color but green in the eyes.
If that's all there is to it, forget it. But what was unbearable was that the green meadow was cut by people, and many shapes were cut out on it, some of which looked like running deer. Some resemble predatory tigers, others resemble rabbits, and some resemble wolves. Where is this green space, this is simply it. Is it the garden of all beasts made out of grass?
The most important thing is that those evergreen trees such as holly have been cut into various glyphs, for example, long live the majesty, for example, the wind and rain are smooth, the country and the people, for example, the emperor is blessed with Qitian, and the longevity is with the sky......
Liu Rui gritted his teeth, the fire in his belly, he didn't know where to throw it, and his face trembled with anger.
"Whose idea was this?" Liu Rui popped out such a sentence between his teeth.
Mr. Qian was also a little dumbfounded, he hadn't been to the garden for a few days, why did he ...... How did it come to this?
He hurriedly beckoned a craftsman to come over and ask, and the craftsman waited for a while before he said: "Yes, it was Yu Yuanwailang's idea, we were not happy, he insisted that we get it, saying that His Majesty did not know how much it cost to build such a garden for the people, everyone should know that they were grateful, and carved these words, so that everyone who came to visit the garden could feel His Majesty's love and kindness to the people." β
Nima!
Liu Rui wanted to scold.
Emperor Chengping loved face, and originally built a garden to beautify Chang'an City, so that people could see the prosperity of Chang'an and add some luster to his face.
However, Emperor Chengping is not one of those nouveau riche hats, and he will not write about the love of face.
What's going on with Yu Qi's mess? Isn't this an obvious sΓΉ Baisheng Long Live Lord to build a garden is not for you to come and play, it is used to sing praises of virtue, damn, Long Live Lord spent so much money to do this? If you really let the Lord Banzai see it, maybe you will be angry.
After being angry for a while, Liu Rui drank some wine earlier, and Liu Rui felt a little urine, so he hurriedly asked the craftsman: "Where is the toilet here?" β
The craftsman pointed to a place, Liu Rui hurried away, and when he walked over, he saw a very beautiful white house, the roof was black and gray tiles, the walls were painted with white ash, and the house was blocked with railings, which looked very clean.
But what about the shear-cut tree planted outside the house?
Liu Rui gritted his teeth and finished the bubble of stuff he was holding on first, came out and kicked the tree fiercely, and scolded Qi again in his heart.
After he walked for a while, Mr. Qian greeted him: "Uncle Liu, do you want to go for a walk elsewhere?" β
"it." Liu Rui was angry and rude: "Go back, go back, just take a look." β
"Okay, let's go back." Director Qian sighed as he walked: "I didn't expect that Lord Yu would make such a thing, it's just ...... Alas, I can't say anything, it's a pity that Qi Zhuangyuan's hard work earlier was completely in vain. β
This sentence made Liu Rui even more angry.
When he was about to get to the palace, Liu Rui suddenly turned his head and said to Mr. Qian: "I'm afraid you're tired from this journey, the weather is still a little cold now, you must have a cold, do you want to take a leave to rest at home for a while?" β
Director Qian immediately understood what was going on, and hurriedly made a weak look: "Uncle Liu, the little nephew is unwell, I can't send you to old anymore, you go slowly." β
Liu Rui waved his hand and walked a few steps into the palace.
Mr. Qian went home with a smile.
Liu Rui entered Zichen Palace, just as Emperor Chengping had just finished approving the excerpts, and he was watching the song and dance when he was free, and he was beating while watching, and saw Emperor Liu Rui Chengping beckoning with a smile: "What, didn't you hear anything interesting when you went out to listen?" β
Liu Rui hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "I heard a few things." β
Emperor Chengping nodded, turned around and watched the song and dance again, and after watching it for a while, he was a little bored, and waved his hand: "Come on, come on, it's just those few dances, and there are no new tricks, let's go down." β
The kabuki quickly knelt down and prostrate, and then hurried out.
Emperor Chengping sighed: "Alas, since the Yun clan left, I can't see a lovely beauty anymore, I looked very good at the beauty earlier, but now it looks like a hateful face, the former Ding Xiang has entered a few beauties, I take a look, what is this long, either the face is big or the eyes are small, this is not white enough, the waist is thick, no one is satisfied, Ding Xiang has been old and confused in recent years, and even the beauty is not accurate." β
Liu Rui lowered his head and listened to Emperor Chengping's counts there, and said in his heart that there are few women in this world who can match Mrs. Qi, don't you look at other women without looking at such stunning characters.
Liu Rui didn't dare to say this, so he had to laugh forcibly: "Your Majesty, the slave went out and heard a few interesting things." β
"Tell me about it." Emperor Chengping didn't complain a few words in vain, and when he heard Liu Rui say something interesting, he immediately laughed.
"It is said that there is a feng shui master from Shu who lived in Daxiangguo Temple for a few days, came out in the middle of the night and took a basin of water and put it outside, and looked at it in the basin for a long time to say that there are no stars in the sky, and the dragon veins on the ground are also extinct, saying that Chang'an has no place as the capital of a country, I am afraid that something will happen sooner or later, it is better to move the capital to Luoyang." Liu Rui carefully said this matter, observing Emperor Chengping's face as he spoke.
Emperor Chengping's face darkened when he heard this, and he patted the table and said: "The person who evaluates the reputation of the fisher, when the capital of Chang'an was set to be the capital of Chang'an, he specially invited the national teacher to be optimistic, saying that the dragon qi here is the most abundant, how can it become what kind of leyline has been extinct, it is really nonsense, what is the name of the feng shui master, give me a call, and let him not enter Chang'an for the rest of his life." β
"Yes, yes, the minion wrote it down." Liu Rui hurriedly said a word with a smile, and then said with a smile: "There is one more thing, Your Majesty likes it after listening to it." β
"What's the matter?"
Emperor Chengping was already in a bad mood on the fire, and Liu Rui smiled and said that there was something that made him happy, so he was interested.
Liu Rui smiled and handed over a cup of tea, and stepped aside: "The slave just went to Nancheng to look at the garden, the garden is really good, Your Majesty should really go and take a look, the one built by the first Qi Zhuangyuan is very good, very exquisite, it can be described as ten steps, one scene, five steps and one spring, the minions who see it are dazzled, but the later ones are better built by adults, such a large piece of green grass, cut the grass into various shapes, rabbits, lions and tigers have everything, the children go to see, drink, don't worry about the adults at home, maybe most of them can recognize all kinds of animals." β
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Chengping's face was obviously even worse.
Liu Rui just didn't look at it, and continued with a smile: "The most important thing is that Lord Yu has a heart, the grass is planted with all kinds of evergreen trees in all seasons, all of which are called skilled craftsmen to cut into words that praise merit, what long live long live, what majesty is high in the world, what is more virtuous than Yao Shun, what is the king of sage, anyway, there are many words, and the slave can't learn it for a while......
A line said, Liu Rui seemed to think of something, and laughed: "This Lord Yu really dares to think and dare to do, and built a few thatched toilets in the garden, probably because he was afraid that some of the tourists who were illiterate would not recognize him, so he took the tree outside and cut it into dung......
"Nonsense, nonsense."
Before Liu Rui finished speaking, Emperor Chengping was already mad, pushed the things on the table to the ground and slapped the table and shouted angrily: "What Lord Yu? He is so bold that he dares to mess up my Huimin Garden, and I will not spare him. (To be continued.) )
