Chapter 1408 Splendid Mountains and Rivers
A luxurious four-wheeled carriage crosses the heavenly street to the east out of the Chunming Gate, there are strong knights in front and back in front and back, swaggering through the city, straight to the east to the Chanshui along the river and to the north, you will see a lush hillside hillside, the river is turbulent, the hill is beautiful, the sun is shining, the scenery is pleasant.
It is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the climate is getting hotter, the dignitaries and nobles in the city are all out of the city, the women and children are all out of the city, so the natural tourists are weaving in such a beautiful place, the road is noisy with cars and horses, and the pedestrians are noisy, and from time to time there are the curtains of the carriage opened, revealing the beautiful woman who is full of pearls and emeralds, or the young girl who is dying in the spring shirt, attracting pedestrians to look at each other and turn their heads and ears.
It's just that when this four-wheeled carriage is driving on the road, pedestrians, vehicles and horses are all avoided, leaving it unimpeded.
The reason is simple, the two carriages are driven by four horses......
According to the etiquette regulations, there are strict regulations on the number of horses that can be driven, "the Son of Heaven drives six, the princes drive four, the doctor three, the scholar two, and the concubine one." β
What is "Rite Number"?
"Li" is "Zhou Li".
There are many terms of Zhou rites, and the literature records that "three hundred scriptures and three thousand songs"; The content of the Zhou rites is extremely rich, involving all areas of society, and even penetrating into every corner of society, up to the most basic constituent unit of the state - the family.
"The husband is a courtesy, so he is close to each other, and he is suspicious, don't be the same or different, and know right from wrong."
It is stipulated that the city of the Son of Heaven is nine miles square and nine miles high; Gonghou Fang Qili, Gao Qiqi; Hou Bofang five miles, high five miles; The son and the man are three miles, and the high school is three miles.
The court lights the torch at night to discuss the matter, called "Ting Liao", and the number of torches stipulates that "the Son of Heaven is 100 burns, the prince is 50, and the Hou, uncle, son, and man are 30".
In the use of ritual utensils, it is stipulated that "the Son of Heaven has nine tripods, the princes have seven, the secretary and the doctor have five, and the Yuan Shi has three also".
The use of gold and stone music, in the number of bells and chimes to be used, stipulates that "the Son of Heaven has eight walls and four fangs; The princes have six walls and three wants; Doctor Qing has four walls and two wants; Shi two blocks and one want", that is, the Son of Heaven Zhong Xin each has 64 pieces, the princes have 48 pieces, the Qing doctors have 32 pieces, and the scholars have 16 pieces. If it is a prince's doctor, a scholar, it shall be reduced by half......
The turtle and yarrow used in divination stipulate that "the turtle of the Son of Heaven is one foot two inches, the princes are one foot, the doctor is eight inches, and the scholar is six inches", and "the Son of Heaven is nine feet, the princes are seven feet, the doctor is five feet, and the scholar is three feet".
The mound is man-made tomb, and the height of the mound and the number of trees are determined by the rank of the deceased: "The tomb of the Son of Heaven is three feet high, and the trees are pine; Half of the princes, the tree is cypress; The doctor is eight feet, and the tree is made of medicinal herbs; The tree is four feet, and the tree is locust. "If you plant a tree in front of the grave, you can't load it indiscriminately, it will be a catastrophe......
Even in terms of titles, it is stipulated: "The concubines of the Son of Heaven are called queens, the princes are called ladies, the doctors are called widows, the scholars are called women, and the concubines are called wives." Therefore, all the people in the future generations are ordinary people, because everyone calls them "wife", if you want to be superior, you have to call "concubine" after returning home, at least "madam......
In ancient times, "rites" were both "laws" and could never be exceeded!
It's just that since the Southern Song Dynasty, Shenzhou has sunk, aliens have trampled on it, etiquette has collapsed, and most of the ancient rituals have been annihilated in the long river of history, and many complicated places have gradually disappeared without a trace.
Since the Han and Jin dynasties, the princes have withered, and by the Sui and Tang dynasties, there have long been no feudal princes. In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, His Majesty Li Er wanted to follow the ancient system to divide the Li Tang royal family and a number of meritorious hereditary assassins, which was equivalent to dividing the princes, but later he was unable to do so under the advice of the courtiers.
Therefore, the Tang Dynasty can ride in a carriage driven by four horses, and only His Royal Highness the Prince ......
Sitting in the carriage, Fang Jun looked at the pedestrians, cars and horses on the road who respectfully avoided the roadside, and sighed in his heart.
How good it is to have an evil old society......
Li Ke, the king of Wu, and Ma Zhou came to invite him to the banquet, naturally showing their full support, lest he suffer from the villain's anger in the military department. However, Fang Jun also understood that these two people were not afraid that he would suffer, but that he would lose his temper at this juncture when the mountain rain was about to come, and then provoke something wrong.
But at the end of the day, it's grateful.
Wu Wang Li Ke and Ma Zhou invited a group of officials from the Ministry of War to a banquet by the way, and those officials also had the heart to make friends with King Wu and Jing Zhaoyin, but they were all bright-eyed people, these two obviously came to support Fang Jun, what happened when they came together?
Avoiding suspicion is not counted, but he does not want to mix in this muddy water, so he postponed everything.
The carriage followed the main road, and at a certain point it turned into a fork in the road, and along the banks of the water, and soon saw a building in front of it in the shade of trees. Before getting closer, I saw the structure of this building resting on the top of the mountain, the building rises three floors, while pressing the water while leaning against the mountain, the carving is inserted into the sky and the eaves are abruptly and spectacular.
There is a gilt plaque hanging in front of the building, and the words "splendid mountains and rivers" are written in the line, which must be the origin of this "splendid mountains and rivers building".
The carriage came to a stop in front of the door, and the three of them got off one after another, and Li Ke, the king of Wu, looked up at the gilded plaque and exclaimed: "Good words!" β
Fang Jun also took a closer look and said with a smile: "The words are not bad, but they are graceful and elegant, Lang and beautiful, the penmanship is too charming, and there is no bone in the front. β
He just commented casually, Wu Wang Li Ke and Ma Zhou both knew that his attainments in calligraphy and even the realm of great success, and they couldn't refute it, but they all had strange faces......
Fang Jun noticed the difference in the faces of the two, and said strangely: "What's the matter, is it wrong to say so-and-so?" β
Li Ke pouted and said with a smile: "Whether it's right or not, this king will not comment." Just these four words...... It is from the hand of Changle. β
"Uh......" Fang Jun was stunned, how is this possible?
Li Ke pointed to the left and right of his hand, drew a circle in the air, and said: "Don't Erlang know that this Changle Plateau is the fiefdom of Changle, and this restaurant is also the property of Changle?" β
Fang Jun was speechless, he really didn't know.
In his heart, His Majesty Li Er gave his daughter the title of such an opportunistic trick, the one who was sealed in Gaoyang Plateau was Princess Gaoyang, and the one who was sealed in Changle Plateau was Princess Changle, and he always thought that Princess Changle's title was taken from the meaning of "Changle Weiyang......
However, he was still a little surprised: "His Royal Highness Changle's temperament actually opened a restaurant?" β
In his heart, Princess Changle is almost a fairy with a fairy spirit, although it is not vulgar and unstained, it is too inconsistent with the restaurant industry.
Ma Zhou said with a smile: "Continuing up the mountain from here, it is the palace built by Emperor Wen of the former Sui, called Changle Palace, and the name of Changle Slope here originally came from this. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it became the imperial village, His Majesty gave Princess Changle as a dowry, and naturally there was a service to the inner government to operate and govern, and Princess Changle only needed to enjoy its profits, and did not need to manage it herself. β
While talking, the three of them went to the door.
When the hall in the building saw the luxury of this carriage, the purple robe and jade belt, and the hugs in front and back, they knew that they were not ordinary people, and hurriedly greeted them, and when they saw Li Ke, the king of Wu, they hurriedly said rudely: "The little one has seen His Royal Highness the king of Wu." β
They are all people from the inner house, how can they not recognize their own prince?
Li Ke took out two golden beans from his arms and threw them over, and asked, "Is there an elegant room on the third floor?" β
The cousin hurriedly took the golden beans and thanked King Wu for the reward, which was the reason: "Yes, there is...... It's just that the little one didn't know that His Highness came here today, because someone had just occupied a room, and it was inevitable that it would be a little noisy, for fear that it would pollute His Highness's tranquility......"
Generally speaking, when Li Ke, the king of Wu, came to the banquet, the hall would naturally clear the venue for him and vacate all the elegant rooms on the third floor, so as not to surprise the nobles. But he was embarrassed at the moment, and only said that he was afraid of disturbing the tranquility of King Wu, but he never mentioned the matter of clearing the field, obviously the person who occupied a private room at the moment was not trivial, even if it was not as good as King Wu, I am afraid that it was not much worse.
Li Ke didn't care, and nodded: "No need, it's just that the three of us have a small get-together, and we have our own errands in the afternoon, so we can't stay for a long time." β
The hall sighed and hurriedly said, "That little one will guide you ......"
The hall was in front and the three of them were behind, and they went up the stairs outside the building to the third floor and came to a private room by the window in the east.
As soon as he entered the room, he felt a fresh breeze coming in through the window, Fang Jun stood in front of the window and looked down, and saw the turbulent rivers of the river, the green mountains and beautiful peaks and mountains, and a splendid scenery came into view, which made people feel comfortable and relaxed, and eliminated the block in their hearts!
The mountains and rivers are splendid, the rivers and mountains are picturesque, and the blood is stirring!
A good man is proud of the world from the middle of the water, and he has done an earth-shattering great cause that will be famous for thousands of years, so that he can live up to this life!
Just as he was overflowing with pride, he suddenly heard a weak exclamation from another private room on one side, and a shrill female voice said in a trembling voice: "Lord Wang, please respect yourself, the little girl does not sell her body......"
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment.
Such a clichΓ© drama......
