Zhao Ji really doesn't have the energy to care about this. At this time, he was not involved in the war in the north, nor was he busy worrying about the country and the people, and all his thoughts were spent on that big garden.

That's right, it is Gen Yue, this big garden that took five years and exhausted most of the Song Dynasty's family background, causing panic, countless people were ruined, wives were separated, and even caused Fang La's rebellion, which is Zhao Ji's greatest achievement as an emperor, and it is also the most proud work that condenses his hard work.

Gen Yue, also known as Long Live Mountain, or "Shou Mountain", "Shou Yue", its existence can be said to be shaking the past and the present. It not only opens up the most secluded garden construction, its scale is grand, the construction is wonderful, and it is rarely comparable in history. Therefore, it can be called the culmination of the garden and the mountain, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is "the beauty of the world, the victory of the ancient and modern Tibet".

Genyue was built in Zhenghe for seven years, and was completed in Xuanhe four years, which lasted five years. It is located in the northeast corner of Bianjing Palace, east of Jinglongmen, west of Fengqiu Gate, north of Donghua Gate, south of Jinglongjiang, with a circumference of about 6 li and an area of about 750 acres.

Because there are thousands of miles of Pinggao near Bianliang, there are no lofty mountains and mountains, and there are few torrents and huge immersions, and Zhao Ji believes that the emperor or the gods are not inhabitable, so he attaches great importance to the landscape setting of Genyue, so that the skills of stacking stones and digging mountains in the garden, as well as the aesthetic taste of mountains and stones have been improved.

Therefore, when building Genyue, it takes the north and south mountains as the main body, and the two mountains stretch to the east and west, and fold and arch to each other, forming a situation where the mountains are surrounded by columns and the middle is flat. Among them, the North Mountain is slightly easterly, named Long Live Mountain, the mountain circumference is more than 5 kilometers, and the highest peak reaches 90 steps. The peak of the peak is set up to divide the east and west two ridges. According to Tingnan, the scenery under the mountain is vivid, and the South Mountain is like a screen. Looking north, the long-wave far shore of the Longjiang River spreads for more than ten miles.

There are several pavilions on both sides of the pavilion, the east is the polar eye, Xiao Sen; The west is Luyun, half of the mountain. The east ridge is round and mixed like a long whale, the waist diameter is 100 feet, its east peak stands, the erection boulder is said to fly to the peak, the peak edge is like cutting, there is the posture of the cloud crane floating, high above the city tower. Plum trees are planted under the ridge, the mountain root structure calyx green hall, and the plum blossoms are in full bloom when they have the realm of "green universal bearing fall, fragrant and lush".

It can be said that the whole Genyue Garden is connected with Fu, the east and west face each other, the front and back are continuous, the left mountain and the right water, the back stream and the side ridge, continuous and full, swallow the mountain and carry the valley. The garden is planted with strange flowers and beautiful trees, raises rare birds and beasts, and constructs a flying building to view the masterpiece, which is extremely luxurious.

In this way, Genyue broke through the norms of "one pond and three mountains" in the palace since the Qin and Han dynasties, and generally became a pattern of "left mountains and right water". It moves poetry and painting into the garden, with the theme of typical and generalized landscape creation, which is a major turning point in the history of Chinese gardens. Among them, take the world's strange spirit stones, move the beautiful and rare flowers and trees in the south, set up carved curved thresholds, pavilions and pavilions, accumulate over time, and it took almost ten years before and after Genyue constituted the most beautiful amusement garden in history.

The reason why it is said that Genyue lasted almost more than ten years is because Genyue in the fourth year of Xuanhe is only the beginning, and there is still construction after that, which has continued until the Jingkang period, plus the foreshadowing before the official construction, there is no falsehood for more than ten years.

The construction of such a large garden for more than ten years has cost a lot of manpower and material resources, and even caused Fang La's rebellion to stop, which shows how much Zhao Ji values this garden. Therefore, after the completion of Genyue, that beauty was rated by later generations as "a true heaven and earth, a god and a ghost, and not a person who can do it." ”

Some people praise it, but naturally some people depreciate it. "Long live the mountain to poor Kyushu, and there are still thousands of people in Biandi. The Central Plains has been a dead country since ancient times, and who knows that the Song Dynasty is a stone? These words attributed the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty to this garden.

Whether it is praised or degraded, meritorious or demerited, it is an afterword for Zhao Ji, and it is not important, since Gen Yue is completed, all his thoughts at this time are on the inauguration celebration.

It took so much effort to design and build a big garden, and this big garden also contains profound Taoist thoughts, as the emperor and the Taoist monarch of the dual identity of Zhao Ji naturally can not be perfunctory at the celebration, he wants the world to know that he has done a big thing that has never been seen before or since.

The first decree was issued, and Li Zhen and Cao Gu were asked to write for Genyue, compile the "Genyue Hundred Songs", and at the same time ordered the painters of the court painting academy to draw Genyue maps from various angles.

In fact, when Genyue was built, Zhao Ji had already asked these court painters to form a powerful design and drawing team, and he, as the chief designer, personally instructed him to complete the drawing of the design drawing, that is to say, Genyue was built according to the design drawing. As for the completed Genyue, Zhao Ji naturally no longer asks for that simple coordinate map, but a beautiful landscape map.

There are poems, drawings and paintings, this is Zhao Ji's intention to let Gen Yue flow for a hundred years, he wants the world to remember forever, only he can complete the world's first-class horticultural works.

Of course, these two points alone are not enough, Zhao Ji is more important to highlight himself, without hesitation to put pen to paper, he personally wrote a "Gen Yue Ji", the beauty of Gen Yue is well explained.

With this imperial "Gen Yue Ji", plus those prerequisites, Gen Yue's celebration has a good start, and the subsequent activities will be completed.

Celebrations, celebrations, and celebration ceremonies are the main ones, and they are operated with the power of the Great Song Dynasty, which is naturally much taller. The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty wanted to demonstrate the national prestige of the Great Song Dynasty, the power of the royal family, and the grace of the emperor at this time.

Fearless of the opposition of some ministers, Zhao Ji decided to make the celebration grand and vast, so the will was issued again.

From the imperial family and nobles to the ministers of civil and military affairs, from the dignitaries of Kyoto to the state officials, from the officials of the Great Song Dynasty to the envoys of various countries, and even some celebrities, nobles and relatives, etc., all were invited to participate in the celebrations.

For a time, from the imperial city to all places, from the Great Song Dynasty to all countries, they all moved because of Zhao Ji's decision. There were those who praised, those who opposed, those who prepared gifts for the celebration, those who sent people to participate, and even those who handed over credentials, poems, eulogies, manuscripts, and so on.

No matter what, the best news that reaches Zhao Ji's ears is always the best, that is, all the filth has been eliminated by his group of "cronies".

Of course, it is not so much that he is complacent, but that he is carried away by joy, at this time Zhao Ji completely forgot about the war in the north and the complicated relations between neighbors, and did not pay attention to the people's lives in the dire situation in the country, he only had one thought, that is, to let Gen Yue end perfectly.
