Chapter 202: Shoushan Genyue

Sun Hui saw "Gen Yue".

Due to the prosperity and wealth of the Great Song Dynasty and the unprecedented development of culture, and Zhao Ji of Song Huizong as Zhao Ji of such a country, and he is good at literature and martial arts, and he is good at all kinds of romantic things, and is called "the most perfect monarch of mankind" by foreigners, the most important thing is to build a royal garden named "Long Live Mountain" and later renamed "Genyue" (also known as "Shouyue", "Shoushan Genyue").

At the beginning of the artist's ascension to the throne, he was troubled by the lack of heirs, and at this time, a Taoist priest said that it was the northeast of the capital to cooperate with Kanyu, but the terrain was slightly lower, and if it could be slightly increased, it should have many sons. Zhao Ji therefore ordered people to build the hill, and it was soon fulfilled. In addition, after a long period of peace and nothing happened in the court, Zhao Ji was originally very interested in the affairs of the garden and flowers and trees, and at that time, a group of ministers headed by Cai Jing also took the opportunity to encourage Zhao Ji to build a large construction project in order to cater to the holy will.

Under the auspices of the Ministry of Households, the mountain and stones were piled up in the place where the soil was piled up, and the construction of the garden began from then on, and soon Zhao Ji transferred the construction of the garden to the eunuch Liang Shicheng to be fully responsible. In order to search for exotic flowers and stones in the whole country, many places have set up bureaus, and even some places that have not been given the task of contributing flowers and stones have also tried their best to find ways to offer treasures, so that in order to transport flowers and stones, the city is bad, and the things of breaking bridges and destroying embankments have occurred from time to time, and the people along the way in the places where the "Huashi Gang" passes by still have to serve hard labor, and many local officials have taken the opportunity to extort and make the common people bankrupt. Huashigang became the first tyranny of the Song Empire in the past 140 years, and the civil uprisings after that were mostly slogans of "opposing Huashigang", thus making "Genyue" a garden that led to the fall of the Song Dynasty, but it is also the garden with the highest artistic achievements in Chinese history, and it is the culmination of China's two thousand years of garden art.

Because there are thousands of miles of Pinggao near the city of Tokyo, 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 invincible, so he attaches great importance to the landscape setting of Genyue. Take the world's strange and peculiar spirit stones, move the beautiful and rare flowers and trees in the south, set up carved curved thresholds, and build pavilions and pavilions, accumulate over time, last for several years, make Genyue constitute the most beautiful amusement garden ever.

The buildings in the whole garden are pavilions and pavilions, halls and halls; The mountains are Gangfu caves, rock cliffs and stone walls; The spring pond is the river gorge stream spring, Zhouzhu waterfall. There are more trees and lush grasses, beasts and birds, there are thousands of sika deer alone, as well as peacocks, cranes, white pheasants, golden pheasants, elephants, unicorns, white apes, spirit rhinos, sacred sheep, Wu cows, foxes and other auspicious birds and beasts, there are hundreds of thousands of water birds in the wild goose pond alone, and its victory is difficult to describe. When I came to the garden, I looked around in all directions, as if I was at the bottom of the deep rock in the valley of the heavy mountains and ravines, and I didn't know that this eastern capital was originally an open and flat land, and what was even more incredible was that it was actually excavated by the people's working committee. Therefore, as the emperor, Zhao Ji had a lot of opportunities, and when Xu Bu arrived, he didn't know the glory of sublime wealth. And Tengshan goes to the gully, the poor deep exploration, the green leaves and buds, the pavilion flying majesty, playing with the heart, and the gods are in harmony, so they forget the colorful of the world, and there is the ambition of Lingyun, which can be described as bliss.

Sun Hui remembered that the Ming man Li Lian's "Bianjing Ruins Chronicles" recorded: Genyue was not long after the completion of the Jin people besieged the city, and the Jin people came again, the siege lasted for a long time, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan ordered to take more than 100,000 birds and waterbirds in the garden to the Bianhe River for the people to eat, and demolished the house for wages, chiseled stones for cannons, cut bamboo for cage fences, and took thousands of big deer to kill them to eat the guards. The capital was captured, and the people took refuge between Shoushan and Banzai Mountain, and the garden was destroyed.

But now that Sun Hui looked from afar, Gen Yue didn't seem to have been damaged. He was in a hurry for a while, and wanted to take advantage of the fact that Genyue was not completely destroyed, so he flew straight in the direction of Genyue.

He flew very fast in the air, and after a while he flew to Genyue, when he landed in the garden, he found that there was no trace of man-made destruction here, but the rare birds and beasts could not see much, and it was estimated that most of them were killed by Zhao Huan of Qinzong for meat. From this point of view, the record of the "Bianjing Ruins Chronicle" is not accurate.

Regarding Zhao Huan's behavior of killing all the mountain birds and water birds in Genyue and throwing them into the Bianhe River for the people to eat, and killing thousands of deer in the garden for the guards to eat meat, Sun Hui thought that it was probably just a show and gesture, showing that he, the emperor, loved the soldiers and civilians in the city, because there was no famine in the city at that time, and it was not to the point of eating the birds and beasts in the royal garden.

Sun Hui walked or flew, walked and played, he saw that the whole Taishang Immortal Peak takes the north and south mountains as the main body, the two mountains stretch to the east and west, and fold and arch in the opposite direction, constituting the situation that the mountains are ringed and the middle is flat. The north mountain is slightly easterly, the name is "Wanxian Mountain", there are more than ten miles around the mountain, 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 the pavilion to the south, then the scenery under the mountain is vivid, and the South Mountain is like a screen. Looking north, the Jinlongjiang River has long waves and far shores, covering more than ten miles. There are other pavilions on both sides of the pavilion, and the east is called "Polar Eye" and "Xiao Sen"; In the west, it is called "Luyun", "Mid-Mountain". The east ridge is round and mixed like a long whale, the waist diameter is 100 feet, its east peak stands, the tree boulder is said to be "flying to the peak", the peak edge is like cutting, there is the posture of the cloud crane floating suddenly, it is high above the city. Plum trees are planted under the ridge, the mountain root structure is green and the hall is respectful, and the plum blossoms are in full bloom when they have the realm of "green and falling, fragrant and lush". On the side of the hall, there are "Chenglan" and "Kunyun" pavilions. There is also a library with a half moon on the outside and a half moon on the inside, and a Eight Immortals Hall with a round house. There are also "Waving Cloud Hall", "Lanxiu Xuan", "Dragon Yin Hall", "Purple Stone Rock", "Chaozhen Kick" and other scenery dotted in the meantime. You can go to Jieting by stepping on the real road, but the pedaling road lingers, buckles the stone and goes up, suddenly the mountain is separated by a road, followed by a wooden stack, leaning on the stone to drain it, the circumference is tortuous, the shape is like the difficult and difficult Shu road. The hill at the end of Meiling stretches to the south, and there is an "apricot slope" full of ginkgo trees in between. There are boxwoods planted in stone crevices and soil holes, called "boxwood gargles". The lilacs on the top of the hill are interspersed with Lei Lei mountain stone, called "Ding Zhang". There are also pepper orchids planted under the natural stubborn stones, named "pepper cliffs". Further south is the southeast of Shoushan, west of Yanchi, increase the soil for the big slope, the southeast of the slope cypress is dense, move to tens of thousands, the branches and leaves of Fusu, such as the building to cover the dragon snake, is for the "dragon and cypress slope". There is a hill in the south of the slope again, about 1 kilometer across, its scenery is extremely wonderful, called "Furong City". Long live Shanxi has a long ridge, since then to the south stretches for several miles, and the east ridge is far away. There is water gushing out between the stones of the mountain pass, the shape is like a beast's face, and it is said that "White Dragon Yi". There are "Guanlong Gorge", "Luohan Rock" Zhusheng around, and the pavilions of "Panxiu", "Lianguang" and "Cross-Cloud" are dotted between them, which can be described as a thousand weather.
