Jiankang Palace, Hualin Garden, Tianyuan Pool

The name of Hualin was originally Fanglin, which was originally the palace of the Eastern Han Dynasty. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo caused chaos, Luoyang was burned, and Fanglin Garden was also destroyed. After Cao Wei set the capital of Luoyang, reopened Fanglin Garden, and then Qi Wangfang ascended the throne and changed its name to Hualin Garden, because of it after the Chan Dynasty of the Western Jin Dynasty. After the Sima family moved the capital to Jiankang, the palace garden built was mostly based on the name of the Luoyang Forbidden City, and the name of the Hualin Garden of Jiankang Palace came from this. Because Hualin Garden is a palace that has been inherited from previous dynasties, both the north and the south have their own Hualin Garden.

And the standard configuration with Hualin Park is Tianyuan Pool. Jiankang's Tianyuan Pond, whose original name is Tianquan Pond, was built by communicating Xuanwu Lake (formerly known as Moling Lake, Houhu Lake, Jiangling Lake) during the period of Sun Wu Baoding.

Jiankang's Tianyuan Pond because it is the place where the emperors of the Jin, Song and Qi dynasties feasted, so for more than 100 years, after building pavilions and pavilions from time to time, the scale of the pavilions and pavilions by the pond is quite grand in the Yongming period, the pavilions on the side of the pool stand in a forest, and the trees are shady. Since Xiao Zhen neglected his government, he often gathered his ministers here, or boated on the pond, or chanted poems and essays between the pavilions, and drank and feasted.

Since the beginning of summer this year, Xiao Zhen has taken a fully equipped military guard and dressed palace maids several times in the middle of the night from Tianyuan Pond to Xuanwu Lake, and then went to Shogunate Mountain and Zhongshan Mountain to hunt, and did not return to the palace to rest until dawn. When there is nothing to do during the day, he stays in Hualin Garden to spend time.

Xiao Zhen invited Wang Yan and Xie Yan to have a banquet at noon, and then rested for a while in Xizhai and returned to Hualin Garden. Because around noon is the time of the day, Xiao Zhen decided to go to the Tianyuan Pond to take a boat on the water to escape the heat.

After the imperial boat traveled to the central waters of Tianyuan Pond, the eunuchs who rowed the oars put away their oars and let the imperial boat follow the wind. More than 100 palace maids dressed in splendor, wearing sachets at their waists, with bright headdresses and beautiful faces, some holding many musical instruments such as pipes and flutes, and some wearing long dance sleeves and holding small hollow incense powder beads, successively transferred from the side boat to the imperial boat, lined up to pay homage to the emperor outside the boat, and shouted "Long live!" Then the female musician in charge of the music came into the boat with the music roster and knelt down to ask the emperor Xiao Zhen to select the music for the music girl to play.

Hualin Garden is a place for music and pastime, not a place for court ceremonies, so all you listen to are some leisure songs, including folk music, and even occasionally there will be a new sound of Qin Huaishui in the boat. As for Yale, this is not the place to play.

Xiao Zhen took the roster and browsed it at a glance, and couldn't help frowning slightly and shaking his head slightly. He didn't know how many times he had listened to these songs, and there was nothing new about them, and he himself had some difficulty in choosing, so he couldn't choose them after watching them over and over again for a while. Seeing that Emperor Xiao Zhen frowned and shook her head, knowing that the emperor was in trouble again, she was afraid that the emperor would ask her about teaching Xinle, so she couldn't help but bow her head slightly.

"In the past, Jing and Jiang Caifeng visited more than 20 folk songs, and I ordered him to send Yu Qing and other practices, why are there still some old songs on this book today?"

"Your Majesty, since your Majesty's will, the concubines have been teaching the new sound of women's music for days, but the Jingjiang music is different from the Duxia, so it is not yet proficient, and I ask Your Majesty to delay it for a few days."

Xiao Zhen listened to the echo of the female musician, and knew in his heart that what she said was reasonable, he had been an official with Jingjiang in the former Song Dynasty, and he also understood the difference between the sound of Jingjiang and Wu Zhongzhi, so he bowed his head slightly, handed the music album to Shao Shengzhi, the commander of the Yellow Gate, and said with a smile to Wang Yan, Xie Yan smiled: "I can't choose it for a long time, but today Erqing can choose it for me." ”

Wang Yan and Xie Yan got up and took the music album after giving it over, it seemed that they had been by Xiao Xun's side for a long time, and there were many encounters like now, so they all behaved naturally and casually.

Wang Yan and Xie Yan are nearly ten years apart in age, so their favorite music styles are a little different, and the two of them each chose a few songs and discussed a few words with each other and couldn't decide, so they asked Xiao Zhen to write down the name of the song with a pen and paper.

Xiao Zhen took the paper, looked at it for a while, took the pen on the bed table and circled three pieces of music, and said: "Xie Qing has been in the realm of Sanwu Yangzhou since he was a teenager, and he likes the northern song Wuyin. I and Wang Qing have both been to the river and served in the land of Ying, so today we will choose according to the place where the three of us live in the office! Two songs of Jiang Ying, one song of Wu Yin. ”

Wang Xie and Xie naturally had no objections, so they returned to their seats after saluting.

The female musician got the paper circled by Xiao Chen, withdrew from the boat after thanking him, and gently stroked her palm to the female musicians and maids, and the dancers put the hollow small incense beads in their hands in their mouths, and the female musicians each held their instruments and followed the female musician into the boat room.

The female musician took the female musician and the maid to bow again, and after getting up at the instruction of Shao Shengzhi, the female musicians retreated to the left and right, leaving only the maid in place. The female musician moved to the side of the red lacquer drum, pinched the finger flowers, and looked at the dancers, tapping the drum surface quite rhythmically.

In a few brisk "dong dong" sounds, the sound of neat music came from Tianyuan Pool. The dancers danced together, their figures shuttled between the pillars, their clothes fluttered, their smiles were opposite, and the faint fragrance in their mouths echoed in the boat room with the breeze on the surface of the pool for a long time, and the whole boat room suddenly seemed to be a paradise on earth.

Xiao Xun sat in the middle, looking at Wang Yan on the side, Xie Yan watched the dance of the maid, sometimes stroking his palms with the beat, sometimes closing his eyes and shaking his head and stroking his palms. Obviously, they were indulging in this paradise on earth that mortals could not even think of, and they chuckled lightly.

This kind of enjoyment can be regarded as a common scene for Xiao Zhen, and it is not enough for him to indulge in it like Wang Xie and the others. However, this kind of lively and extraordinary scene can give him a sense of spiritual pleasure even more for him who is over half a hundred years old.

After a few glances at Wang Xie, Xiao Xun casually picked up a letter on the bed table with the name "Shangbei Envoy Always Watch" and looked at it.

This list is really Pei Zhaoming's list in the name of Xiao Zhen before accepting the edict to go to Huaiyin, Xiao Zhen asked him to record the situation before and after the envoy to Jiangbei in detail, and asked him to explore the northern country, especially about the envoys from the south to the north to record the details clearly.

After Xiao Zhen skipped the previous routine format and asked, he was straightforward, and when he saw the situation of the Northern Envoys at the end, Xiao Zhen's face was slightly stunned, and he placed it on a few.

After being silent for a while, Xiao Zhen raised his head and said to Shao Shengdao, who was standing a zhang away: "Shao Qing, you immediately send someone to the palace of the king of Luling, and say that I have an urgent matter to summon the king of Luling to see you." ”

Shao Shengzhi has always paid attention to Xiao Zhen's movements, and at this moment, when he got Xiao Zhen's words, he was not in a hurry, he bent down and bowed to receive the edict and walked out of the boat room, found a cronie of his own, and said: "The Supreme has summoned the King of Luling to meet him, and you will immediately go to the Luling King's Mansion and announce the Supreme Will to His Royal Highness the King of Luling." ”

"Yes"

Shao Shengzhi watched this cronie follow the hemp rope, turned over and went down to the water boat, turned around and walked towards the boat room, and thought to himself: "Your Majesty Pei Zhaoming's sparse table has already seen it a few times, why is it that you suddenly want to announce your meeting with King Luling this time?" Could it be that the king of Luling still has any dealings with the northern captives? ”
