Chapter 35 Qujiang Pond - Furong Garden

On the bank of the Qujiang River, in the car of the East Palace slowly passing along the riverbank, Li Chengqian, who had the support of Li Ke, became more and more energetic, and the spring breeze was proud, as if the throne on the Taiji Hall was already in the bag.

"Haha, a good crowd to collect firewood and the flame is high, the third brother can rest assured, Lone will not be the one who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, if he and I reach the sky, I will divide it, and I will not treat you badly." Li Chengqian patted Li Ke on the shoulder, drew a big cake for Li Ke, and handed Li Ke an expression that I am very optimistic about you.

Maybe Li Chengqian didn't think about it or didn't want to give anything to Li Ke at all, Li Ke could only choose to be silent, showing an expression that I really believed, and smiled back. This is like the later Republic of China period officers made meritorious contributions, Lao Jiang asked the officer what reward he wanted, at this time, he could not open his mouth in the dark, be silent or ask for a reward for his parents or relatives and friends is the best choice. After all, the prince is also known as the prince, and the companion is also applicable to the prince, although the prince has no jokes, but Li Chengqian is just a prince, right, who knows if what he said today can be fulfilled?

The palace fights in the Tang Dynasty were not as complicated as those filmed in later TV dramas, with all kinds of intrigues. Didn't I see Lao Li also directly launched a coup d'état and shot his political enemies directly, at this time, the palace fight was more primitive, that is, every prince who felt that he might be on the throne secretly contacted the minister of civil and military affairs to learn Lao Li's way to rebel by force, and it was not as complicated as Emperor Yongzheng in later generations to unite a group of brothers to form a party for personal gain or even fake the edict to seek a big position, and it may also be related to the fact that each prince stayed in the fiefdom on his own side, and the princes of the Qing Dynasty in later generations could stay in Beijing and could contact each other. As far as Li Ke's memory goes, it is not realistic for two or more princes to form an alliance to seek the throne in the Tang Dynasty.

Find a brotherly alliance for a big position! Li Chengqian seemed to have found a broad road to the dragon chair, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little fluttering.

"Third brother, what do you think of the scenery of this Qujiang Pond?" When the curtain was lifted, Li Chengqian changed the topic and began to talk about the scenery outside.

"It's a peaceful and picturesque winter landscape." Li Ke didn't know what Li Chengqian wanted to say, but looking at the bleak riverbank outside the window, he had to follow Li Chengqian's words.

"Haha, third brother, you have been sent to the fiefdom since you were a child, and you don't know the beautiful scenery around Chang'an, and today I will travel with you, of course, I have to introduce you to this Qujiang well, otherwise you will be a little incompetent as the lord of Qujiang." Li Chengqian quipped.

"Big brother, don't make fun of me, where can Ke be the lord of Qujiang." Li Ke only got the title of a mediocre heir the day before yesterday, and he knew the truth of the tree, but he didn't dare to be arrogant enough to claim to be the lord of Qujiang.

"This Qujiang River, is the former dynasty master Yu Wenkai built Chang'an City when the extension, originally a river, but now it is widened seems to be a lake, because it is at the turn of the river began to dig, so it is like being bent, being bent cake rice sticks, so it is called Qujiang Pond. Third brother, you got the Hibiscus Garden on the east side of the Qujiang River, and the 600 acres of Huangzhuang on the south side of the pond given to you by your father, and today the eldest brother gave you 2,000 acres of fertile land on the west side of the Qujiang River, which is a lonely heart. Now except for the apricot orchard, the land brother of the Temple of Mercy and Grace can't get it, and the entire Qujiang is in your hands, saying that you, the lord of Qujiang, are worthy of the name. Li Chengqian took out a few documents and handed them to Li Ke while playing Maha.

Obviously, Li Chengqian saw that Li Ke had published a few crooked poems about unity today, so he wanted to show off in front of Li Ke the knowledge about Qujiang that he had learned in the Chongwen Pavilion a few days ago, so as to show that he was also educated, but this wall was almost broken, but fortunately, there was a big gift to relieve the embarrassment.

"Big brother, this... Without waiting for Li Ke to refuse, Li Ke saw Li Chengqian's expression that if you don't accept it, you look down on me, so he had to accept the title deed.

Knowing that Li Chengqian wanted to show off, Li Ke didn't ask Li Chengqian why he knew that he wanted the land around Qujiang, but continued to listen to Li Chengqian's rhetoric.

In fact, although Li Ke has not been in Chang'an for a long time, when he was rewarded by Lao Li, Li Ke began to consult the classics, and asked some information about Qu Jiang, the housekeeper in the house, and he knew the origin of Qu Jiang.

Qujiang is also known as Qujiang Pond, in the southeast corner of Chang'an City, in the Qin and Han dynasties belong to the hometown of Xiayuan, so some elders of Chang'an refer to the south of the city as Xiayuan, the reason why it is called Xiayuan, is not because this place is inhabited by the lower class of ordinary people, nor because of the low terrain, on the contrary, Qujiangchi is surrounded by hills, the terrain is still very high, just because Qujiangchi is in the south of the city, on the map to see the left west, right east, up north and down south, so it is called Xiayuan.

Because the terrain near Qujiang is complex, according to the feng shui can be said, so the former dynasty urban planner Yu Wenkai was ordered to build Daxing City, that is, when the current Chang'an City, did not set up residential alleys in the Qujiang area, and finally Chang'an City 110 squares will become 108 squares, not what 108 squares just correspond to the 108 gods of the 108 stars or what is the feng shui theory, you must know that one hundred and eight heroes are only things in the Song Dynasty, but the person who wrote the book in order to ask for a lip service for future generations.

Yu Wenkai turned the Qujiang River into an urban park in Chang'an, widened the water surface of the Qujiang River, and introduced water from other rivers to make the Qujiang pond abundant and open, so the Qujiang River looks more like a lake. It's just that this lake was dug out at a turning point in the Qujiang River, so it is like a bent rice cake strip, and the name of the Qujiang River comes from it.

After a while, Li Ke listened to Li Chengqian's introduction to Qujiang in desperation, so he had to accept Li Chengqian's land deed, and nodded from time to time and said: What the eldest brother said is right.

At this time, the carriage had also arrived at Furong Garden, and Li Ke got out of the carriage, "Brother Xie." Like Li Chengqian, he said thank you.

First, Li Ke himself also wants to acquire the land near Qujiang for other purposes in the future, and secondly, Li Ke knows that if he does not accept it, it may cause Li Chengqian's unhappiness, and he and Li Chengqian are now in the honeymoon period, if the two of them bump into each other now, then how can they cooperate in the future.

"You and my brother, why be polite." Li Chengqian got out of the carriage, as if his face had changed, but he just said lightly to Li Ke, completely lacking the enthusiasm on the car.

Li Ke knew that the words and deeds of his two brothers would be noticed by all forces when he got out of the carriage, so he had to keep a straight face and enter the gate of Furong Garden with Li Chengqian one after the other.

Although the ancient trees, weeping willows, and buildings and palaces in the Hibiscus Garden are scattered, they are not as weeping and willowy as people imagine, and the flowers are full of flowers. It was the first month, and only the pines and cypresses that were not afraid of the harsh winter were a little green in the garden, but Li Ke thought too much.

As if seeing Li Ke's thoughts, Li Chengqian pointed to a big tree that had lost its leaves, regained his original enthusiasm, and said with a smile: "Third brother, this hibiscus garden is not a good time to watch now, and it will not be lively until the third day of March and the ninth day of September, but this year's spring outing, I don't know if you, the lord of Qujiang, will open Qujiang for tourists to watch, haha." “
