Chapter 874: Finding the Dragon Point and Building the Emperor's Tomb
"Uh...... You're right, the old man is really sick and rushed to the doctor. ”
Gao Shilian said this after Guo Ye, so he put away his anxious attitude and slowly explained: "Half a month ago, the saint sent someone to urgently summon the old man back to Chang'an, and he hurried along the way to arrive in Chang'an today. In fact, before entering Chang'an, the old man went to Panlongguan and found that Yuan Tiangang had already left Panlongguan and traveled around the world for a long time. ”
Guo Ye knew that Yuan Tiangang was a crane in the clouds, just like Sun Simiao, who liked to travel freely and freely to treat people, he was a kind of person who couldn't stay in one place.
Therefore, he was already able to accept Yuan Tiangang's sudden disappearance, and then asked: "So, the current Panlong View is Li Chunfeng's kid in charge?" ”
Gao Shilian nodded and responded: "That's right, Li Chunfeng inherited the mantle of Yuan Tiangang, not only took over the Panlong Temple, but also succeeded me as the Great Tang Qintianjian on the recommendation of Yuan Tiangang. It's just that this son is young, and the self-heating in the heat is much worse than Yuan Tiangang, so it can't be compared. ”
Guo Ye said secretly, you can pull it down, don't underestimate Li Chunfeng, this kid's achievements and reputation will be no worse than his master in the future, a picture of pushing the back will make this master and apprentice famous all over the world and go down in history, how can he be a small person?
However, he didn't care about justifying Li Chunfeng's name, but asked: "Boss, let's get down to business, why did the Holy Lord summon you back to Chang'an so urgently?" Could it be that you want to find a person like Yuan Tiangang who is good at feng shui and looking for dragon points, and it has something to do with the emperor's urgent call to return to Beijing? ”
"That's right!"
Gao Shilian glanced at Guo Ye approvingly, and said, "You kid is smart, you can bypass the class, and you can see through it at one point." The emperor summoned me back to Chang'an this time in order to find a piece of excellent feng shui for the emperor, which can benefit future generations, bless the blessed land of the Tang Dynasty for generations to inherit, and let the old man supervise the construction of the imperial mausoleum in this blessed land. ”
I see!
Guo Ye finally understood what was going on, it turned out that His Majesty Li Er wanted to find a place to build the imperial mausoleum in advance after his father Li Yuan's old man returned to heaven in a hundred years.
Guo Ye thought about it carefully, according to historical records, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan died in May of the ninth year of Zhenguan. Now it is the fifth year of Zhenguan, although it looks like there are still four or five years left, His Majesty Li Er built the imperial tomb for his father in advance, it seems that he is not in a hurry, and he is not filial.
In fact, this is not the case, because the imperial tomb is not the grave of ordinary people after all, just find a feng shui gentleman to find a place, and then dig a pit and erect a monument.
In particular, Li Yuan is the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and his imperial mausoleum is bound to occupy a wide area, with a large scale and momentum, so it will definitely take a long time.
Therefore, if it is calculated in this way, the preparation of the imperial tomb for Emperor Li Yuan four years in advance is not only reasonable, but also reflects the benevolence and filial piety of His Majesty Li Er.
The ancients, from kings to peddlers and pawns, believed in the metaphysics of feng shui for such things as tombs. They all believe that only by choosing a blessed land with excellent feng shui for the ancestors can they benefit the family and future generations.
As the so-called mountain owner Ding Shui is the main wealth, by the mountains and rivers, there are green mountains and green water, and it is a blessed land. Of course, this is just an ordinary person's method of finding the dragon and the point.
When it comes to the rich and noble, wealthy families and official eunuchs, in addition to the mountain master Ding Shui's main wealth, it is also necessary to consider the feng shui theory of Tibetan wind and qi.
But when it comes to the emperor's house, it's different.
In addition to considering the above, the imperial mausoleum of the emperor's family should also involve the principle of holding the left and right in front of the back, which is what we usually call "the green dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right, and the Xuanwu after the Vermilion Bird"; It also involves the principle of bending and meandering, that is, the road that is usually said by feng shui masters should be bending, and the landscape should be meandering, twisting, and winding, because "straight is rushing, and bending is smooth". The more the imperial tomb is bent and meandering, the smoother the descendants of the Heavenly Family and the country will be.
Of course, there are references, such as the principle of openness in the bright hall, the principle of returning to nature, the principle of the wind and the water, and so on.
Of course, it will not be so simple to find the dragon point, but it is always impossible to avoid these major principles.
After Guo Ye almost digested the news brought by Gao Shilian, he asked with some puzzlement: "Boss, throughout the dynasties, whether it is the search for the dragon point or the supervision of the construction of the imperial tomb, this is the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites. Why did the emperor call you back to Chang'an from a great distance? Aren't you asking for trouble? ”
Gao Shilian sighed: "Alas, do you think this is what the old man wants? The emperor mentioned in the holy decree that the emperor's health was getting worse and worse, and he shouted every day to recall Pei Lian, Xiao Yu and others back to Chang'an, and prepare for himself to be buried in a hundred years. ”
Guo Yeqi said: "Didn't Pei Lian, Xiao Yu and others have already been sent to Lingnan to grow lychees?" Why did the Emperor and his old man think of them again? Feelings he old man is not dead yet? ”
"Shhh
Gao Shilian lightly scolded Guo Ye, glared at him and reprimanded: "How can the Emperor Taishang be discussed behind your back by a courtier?" However, his old man is indeed an old man, and he has ambitions for thousands of miles. Although he is getting old, he is not deaf or blind, and his heart is clear. Now that the three systems in the court are in the same situation, how can he not see it? Therefore, he thought of taking advantage of the chaos in the court to use an excuse to recall Pei Lin and Xiao Yu back to Chang'an, so as to find an opportunity for the emperor to reinstate these old ministers. In the old man's opinion, the Emperor Taishang didn't have the intention to compete with the emperor for anything, it should be that his old man was sympathetic to the old ministers, and he couldn't bear Pei Lin and Xiao Yu to suffer and plant lychees in the southern barbarian land of Lingnan, right? ”
Guo Ye shook his head and said disapprerovitically: "No matter what his starting point is, the emperor will definitely not let him get his wish." Think about it, the emperor finally broke up the old ministers of Wude and pulled out the root cause, how could he destroy the Great Wall and let Pei Lin and Xiao Yu return to the court? ”
"Alas, you kid has a delicate heart, and it's very clear!"
Gao Shilian sighed bitterly and said: "No, the emperor just didn't want to recall Pei Lin and Xiao Yu, but in order to take care of the emotions of the emperor and his old man, he came down with a holy decree to urgently summon the old man back to Chang'an." Thinking about it, only by letting the old man take the lead in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry to supervise the construction of the imperial mausoleum, can the emperor and his old man rest assured. ”
Guo Ye nodded and said, "That's the same." Your old man's qualifications are there, and the elders of several dynasties are indeed on par with Pei Lian. In addition, your old man has the status of a relative of the emperor, and he still belongs to the old man of the emperor. He chose the site to supervise the construction of the imperial mausoleum, and he was indeed the most suitable person. ”
"So, you said that this is Feng Shui, and the old man doesn't understand the ability to find dragon points, Cui Henian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, they all don't know anything, and the emperor is urging him tightly, and even the emperor and his old man are waiting to see if the place I choose is in line with his wishes. Guo boy, tell me ......"
Speaking of which, Gao Shilian is really full of bitterness and has no place to vomit, so he can't afford to spend some peaceful days in the countryside, and he was tossed to Chang'an, can he not be heartwarming?
Subsequently, he complained a little and said: "Guo boy, you said that this Yuan Tiangang will not leave early or late, but at this time he left Chang'an Xianyun Yehe." You said for a while, where can the old man find someone to do for me and find a dragon point? ”
Guo Ye said in his heart, it turns out that this is the case.
Then he snorted and laughed out loud: "I said that your old man is really riding a donkey to find a donkey, and he is confused." Yuan Tiangang is gone, but his apprentice Li Chunfeng is here. Let me tell you this, Li Chunfeng can be pointed out by Yuan Tiangang as the heir of the mantle, and naturally he has his merits. Looking for the dragon point, supervising the construction of the imperial tomb, your old man brought him up, it is absolutely wrong. ”
"Him?"
Gao Shilian shook his head when he thought of Li Chunfeng's young face, and questioned: "Can a young man who has not dried up be able to do it?" How many ways did he learn from his master? ”
, Li Chunfeng is also in his thirties, okay? What is milk smell that has not dried? People are really a little more tender-looking.
However, in order to convince Gao Shilian of Li Chunfeng and give Li Chunfeng a chance to become famous, Guo Ye had to say: "Boss, you can't trust Li Chunfeng, can't you still believe me?" A Li Chunfeng, plus me, what's the matter? Your old man replied to this letter, right? ”
"You?"
This time, Gao Shilian questioned Guo Ye again, frowned and asked, "You kid also know how to be a good feng shui, looking for dragon points?" Do you still know how to design imperial tombs? ”
Guo Ye secretly said that he was not convinced, I don't know how to find the dragon point, but where Tang Gaozu Li Yuan was buried in the end, I am a clear man.
Isn't it the dedication of the mausoleum, it seems that the specific location is remembered to be in the west of Yonghe Village, Xu Mu Township, Sanyuan County, Shaanxi Province, in later generations, Guo Ye once inadvertently knew this place on the Internet.
The Zhaoling Tomb of Tang Taizong Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, and the Qianling Tomb of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian,...... There are also the Tailing of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji and Empress Zhenshun.
These Tang Dynasty imperial tombs are not mysterious places in later generations, and they are basically familiar places.
Guo Ye thought about it, turned around and painted the gourd in the same way, and found the place where the tomb was located, Li Yuan was satisfied, because this place was chosen by himself after all.
As for how to design the imperial tomb, it is not simple? How to come to the high-end bully, as for the secret passage of the mechanism in the tomb, and some other details, naturally the skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry and Li Chunfeng are in charge.
When he thought of the imperial mausoleum, Guo Ye couldn't help but spoof, why not design a Taj Mahal? Or to design a Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum? Or a monument to the people's heroes? You can't stick to the old rules, you have to break through and innovate.
"Hey, hey, hey...... Guo boy, what do you think? ”
Gao Shilian gently nudged Guo Ye, woke him up, and shouted: "What do you kid think, how do you get into the mind?" Demonic obstacles? ”
Guo Ye came to his senses, his eyes suddenly showed cunning, and the corners of his mouth raised and said with a sly smile: "Boss, the kid was thinking just now, this matter is none of my business, why should I have nothing to do to make peace?" ”
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, stretched out his right hand and spread his palm to Gao Shilian's eyes, and said with a sneer: "I can't take the little Rite Squire's Fortune and the heart of the Prime Minister of the Tang Empire, right?" ”
