Chapter 115: Lin'an Palace
Zhang Shijie and others simply hummed along, and the more they sang, the more they felt that it was too good, so they deliberately slowed down to the back and sang together to enjoy themselves.
Quan Jiu in the dragon chariot listened carefully and carefully, and was amused by the simple and interesting lyrics of the song from time to time. She is the queen mother, and she is used to not being able to laugh out loud.
Zhao Xian, who was in Quan Jiu's arms, suddenly raised his head and said, "Mother, what are you doing with me?" Isn't this song good? ”
Quan Jiu realized that she was also silently clapping. Some embarrassed said: "Don't learn this song, it's a minor tune of the people in the market, and I don't know where the metropolitan governor learned it, it's ridiculous." ”
Zhao Xian said excitedly: "But it sounds good." Mother, listen, everyone is singing. ”
Quan Jiu covered Zhao Xian's ears and said, "Don't listen and don't learn, otherwise grandma will be angry, remember." ”
Zhao Xian nodded obediently, his body still writhing with the melody.
Quan Jiu angrily and funny hugged Zhao Xian into his arms again, and said in his heart: What kind of person is this Cheng Yue? At first, he was confused, then he was ambitious, and now he is amiable and cute, and he can make up such interesting and beautiful songs, no wonder he lost his mind when he heard music, it turned out that he liked music. In this way, it was really an unintentional mistake for him to collide with the Holy Driver. This person, it's funny.
The forbidden army under Zhang Yan couldn't help but hum along, and Zhang Yan shouted: "Don't sing!" Seeing the disapproving expressions of the Imperial Forest Army under his command, he suddenly felt that he was not close to people, just a song, what's the big deal? And it's really good, and it's easy to learn, and I almost sang along. I had to say again: "Hmph, yes." ”
The Guards burst out laughing. The humming sound was continuous. Later, some people sang along, and Zhang Yan didn't bother to pay attention. He has learned almost everything himself, can he still forbid others?
Singing and laughing, I have never marched so easily and happily. Even the guards who struggled to carry various flags were smiling on the ground as never before, and the people along the road were cheering for the procession. Except for the inner servants who were a little sad when they heard this song, a sense of happiness filled everyone's hearts.
It turns out that a song can make such a big difference.
Singing and singing, the city gate of Lin'an is already close in front of you.
Lin'an City is a wonderful capital of China's past dynasties.
In the capital of China's dynasties, the imperial palace was either in the north, and the so-called north was facing south. Either in the middle, the so-called convergence of the world. Only the imperial city of Lin'an is in the south.
The reason is that the royal family of the Northern Song Dynasty was in a hurry when they fled to Lin'an, and they could only temporarily renovate the Lin'an Prefecture to make the imperial palace, and the state capital was in the south.
Although the main gate of the south gate of the imperial city is the main gate, because the imperial city is located at the southern end of the entire Lin'an City, and the ministers live in the north of the imperial city, if the ministers enter from the main gate according to the custom, they have to go around a big circle, which is very inconvenient. Therefore, only when there are special occasions such as suburban ceremonies, civil and military officials are allowed to enter and exit through this gate. The north gate and the Ning gate of the imperial city became the de facto main gates. The officials went up and down to advance and retreat from this gate, and were called "riding the dragon upside down" by the Lin'an people.
However, the palace in Lin'an also has something unique. The most commendable thing is that the scenery is stunning.
It relies on Phoenix Mountain, surrounds Huifeng (now Mantou Mountain), and uses the natural terrain to arrange palaces, gardens and pavilions. The layout of the palace is due to the mountainous situation, and the momentum is mixed, sitting on the beautiful West Lake and the mighty Qiantang River.
Because the Southern Song Dynasty was very wealthy, after decades of successive construction, "magnificent and magnificent, exquisite workmanship, golden and green, splendid and shining, looking like a heavenly palace into a ......", many people think that it is the most beautiful imperial palace in China.
Of course, it is not without its drawbacks, the biggest problem is that the place is too small.
Because there are not so many palaces, a main hall Daqing Hall will be used for multiple purposes - when the champion hall is tested, the attendants will replace the plaque of the Daqing Hall with the Jiying Palace; When the emperor made a birthday, he replaced the plaque with the Zichen Palace; The emperor worshiped his ancestors and replaced it with a bright hall; If there is a need to announce something important to the civil and military officials, it will be replaced by the Wende Palace...... Along with the change, there are various supporting arrangements in the main hall. So, what if the emperor has to take a palace test on the day of his birthday? The people of the Southern Song Dynasty would not give themselves this trouble, this incident never happened at all.
It is a pity that after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty in history, it gradually fell into disrepair, and then a mysterious fire destroyed it in one fell swoop, and it disappeared in the long river of history with infinite regret. But now because of Cheng Yue's efforts, its owner still lives in it, and the palace still exists well.
Cheng Yue thought that he would be able to see this legendary palace immediately, and he couldn't help but yearn for it infinitely.
When Long Yuan entered the city from the north gate, and when Cheng Yue entered the city from the north gate, the city wall of the north gate was being repaired.
Before the Song Dynasty, the city walls were basically built of rammed earth, and they often had to be repaired because they were damaged. Attract water to soak for dozens of days, and all the city walls will rot, which is why the ancients before the Song and Yuan dynasties liked to attack with water so much.
Cheng Yue summoned Li Fu over, pointed to the city wall, Li Fu understood, Cheng Yue asked him to run a brick factory. It does not have to be used to build the city wall, but to build a house, and Cheng Yue's Metropolitan Governor's Mansion can be rebuilt in this way. In fact, he also has this plan, all the factories that Cheng Yue asked him to run, Lin'an should have one.
As soon as Long Yuan returned, the residents of Lin'an knew that the legendary Dadu Governor had entered the court. Countless people crowded to both sides of the street, vying to witness Cheng Yue's heroic appearance.
As soon as they saw Cheng Junying's uniform, the well-informed people in Lin'an City were almost crazy. Seeing the handsome young Cheng Yue again, the cheers were endless and deafening.
Countless girls threw all kinds of flower hydrangeas at Cheng Yue, regardless of the strict guards around Cheng Yue.
Cheng Yue was curious, so he caught a hydrangea casually, and there was actually a small note on it, which read: Slave Moachun, Sanqiu Lane in the north of the city, the tree at the door is the highest.
Follow this to find her! Cheng Yue was surprised that the women of the Song Dynasty were so open!
On one side of his face, he saw a round-faced, very cute girl looking at him infatuatedly. Seeing that Cheng Yue saw her, he turned around with a blushing face, peeked at her, and then secretly sent Qiu Bo.
Cheng Yue smiled and waved his hand at her, shouting in his heart: Heaven! Lin'an is heaven!
Cheng Yue followed Long Yuan all the way south, and received countless cheers along the way. Although the imperial court canceled the street parade to praise the merits, this has been no different from boasting along the way.
At the end of the Royal Street, the north gate and the Ning gate of the imperial palace are already in sight.
Cheng Yue looked at the beautiful and solemn palace shining golden in the sun, and couldn't help but be a little intoxicated.
Drunk and lying on the knees of beauty, awake to the power of the world. How many people fought to the death for this transcendent position, bleeding and drifting, and finally built such a place and locked themselves up.
Is it smart? Or is it ignorance? No one can tell.
Zhang Gui saw Cheng Yue's face showing yearning, and leaned over to his side and whispered: "Son, my subordinates heard that the magnificence of Dadu is far better than this, and it has not even been completed yet." ”
Cheng Yue turned his head to look at him with some surprise and said with a smile: "Do you think that just such a small palace can kill my ambition?" Just kidding, right? I'm thinking about something else, but you're a good reminder. Ha ha. ”
Zhang Gui smiled and stepped aside.
The gate of Hening Gate was opened, and Long Yuan entered the palace through the main gate.
Cheng Yue and others, as meritorious men this time, were also allowed to ride horses and sedan chairs from the main gate to follow Long Yuan to enter.
As soon as he entered the palace, a chamberlain came to guide the way, the horse was led down, and the civil officials also got out of the sedan chair.
Xia Gui was old, and Cheng Yue also ordered him to take the carriage, the old general was reluctant at first, but Cheng Yue insisted, so he got in the car. I can also get out of the car at this time, and I can really feel a little more comfortable.
Almost all the civil and military officials are familiar with this place, only Guan Shen and a few other people are the same as Cheng Yue, and it is the first time to come. Even Zhao Mengfu, who has been in the future for many years, has remembered many past events, but now his identity is slightly different, and he naturally has a different taste in his heart.
The waiter took Cheng Yue away, and taught Cheng Yue etiquette according to the rules, but he didn't have the usual condescending tone, he was really afraid of Cheng Yue.
When they arrived at the gate of Daqing Palace, the chamberlain retreated, and Cheng Yue and the civil and military officials were waiting at the door to summon Cheng Yue to watch the palace carefully.
didn't wait long, and an inner attendant came out to summon him, it was Chen Baohe, the inner attendant next to the Empress Dowager who he had seen before.
After Chen Baohe finished summoning, he smiled at Cheng Yue and turned around to enter the hall.
Sure enough, as Quan Jiu said, this is not an ordinary court meeting, there are really people playing music. The civil and military forces of the Song Dynasty and the civil and military forces under Cheng Yue merged together and entered the palace.
Cheng Yue is the governor of land and water, and he is the commander of the three sides, and he doesn't know where to platoon, but he is currently the most powerful, so Cheng Yue was pushed to the front of the right side by Zhang Shijie, Xia Gui and others to be the first to enter the palace.
As soon as Cheng Yue entered the hall and looked up, he saw the little emperor Zhao Xian sitting honestly on the throne, with a beaded curtain behind him, and there were two women sitting left and right in it, it was Xie Daoqing and Quan Jiu, who listened to the government with the curtain.
Xie Daoqing opened his presbyopia eyes vigorously, looked at the young man who had just come in, and finally saw the long-legendary Cheng Yue. Seeing that he was handsome, young and handsome, the old lady couldn't help but like him very much. What's more, Cheng Yue also saved Da Song, which added a sense of gratitude.
Cheng Yue saluted with the civil and military officials, and there was no need to kneel at all. As soon as he straightened up, Xie Daoqing said: "Cheng Qing helped the enemy this time, and made immortal contributions in the Great Song Dynasty, and the mourning family finally saw Cheng Qing today." Sure enough, the young hero is not inferior to Yue Wumu back then. ”
"Yue Wumu? He was loyal to the Great Song Dynasty and was killed in the end. Cheng Yue said in his heart. Just as he was about to reply, Xie Daoqing had already realized that what he had just said was slightly inappropriate, and said: "Cheng Qing is younger and more accomplished than Yue Wumu, and the official family is still young, so Cheng Qing needs to take more care of him." ”
Cheng Yue was vigilant this time, and if he was forced to swear again, he would be really stupid.
Cheng Yue said: "The minister is young and ignorant, and he is overwhelmed by his heavy responsibilities, so I hope that the saint will live a long life, and the Great Song Dynasty will be safe forever." (To be continued......)
