At this time, Liang Shicheng's "hidden" status has been achieved, but he knows the truth that it is difficult to start a business and it is even more difficult to keep a business, and he did not lie on the credit book and eat his old book. Keep pace with the times and constantly improve your prestige! So he joined the construction of Gen Yue...

Gen Yue, this is not just a garden of the emperor. At the time, it was the biggest government project! Participation in it is a symbol of status, control it is the embodiment of the emperor's favor, and it is a good thing that every bigwig in the DPRK and China has to fight for once. Liang Shicheng was keenly aware of this, stretched out his hand and grabbed it, adding a new weight to himself in Zhao Ji and in the hearts of hundreds of officials!

Since then, he has worked hard for Gen Yue and done his best to build a fantasy fairyland that is unparalleled by one person and cannot even be compared to the Seven Wonders of Babylon Hanging Garden, which is recognized by the world!

He succeeded, and Genyue was really built... But what he didn't know was that Genyue was the mountain of destiny of the Northern Song Dynasty. The process of its establishment is the process of the collapse of the Northern Song Dynasty. The day it was completed was the time when the Northern Song Dynasty died!

But now it's only the end of 1117, and no one could have thought of this. Liang Shicheng threw himself into the construction site. By the end of 1122, the second step of Mount Gen was completed: on the original mountain trend, all the landscape points were covered!

Check the original information, the name is as follows: Genyue is more than 10 miles vast and the peak height is 90 steps. The highest point is Jianjie-tei. In this way, the mountain is divided into two pieces, which are the east and west two ridges.

There are calyx green halls, libraries, eight immortal halls, purple stone rocks, Qi Zhenpei, Lanxiu Xuan, and Longyin Hall in the east ridge. Shannan Shou Mountain is saga, the twin peaks stand side by side, and there are wild goose ponds, Yan Yi Pavilion under them. There are Yaoxuan, Xizhuang, Chaoyun Pavilion, Bailongyuan, Haolong Gorge, Panxiu, Lianguang, Cross-Cloud 3 Pavilions, and Luohan Rock in the west. Then to the west there is Wan Song Ridge, and there is Yicui Building on the side of the ridge. There is a correlation on the ridge and under the ridge, there is a flat land under the pass, it is chiseled for the square marsh, there are two pieces of land in the marsh, and 2 pavilions of Luzhu and Fuyang are built in the east. In the west, Meizhu and Xuelang 2 pavilions are built. From there, the highest peak is restored along the road. There are 2 pavilions on the left side of the pavilion and Xiao Sen, and there are 2 pavilions on the right side of the pavilion and Luyun and mid-mountain. The north of Jieting is adjacent to the Jinglong River, and the water of the river is poured into the mountains, bursting with pearls and splashing jade, winding jade belts. There is a small pavilion not far from the west from Jieting, which is called Shuyu. Shuyuxuan is to the west, the road is paved with gravel, and there are alchemy pavilions, Ningzhen Temple, and Yuanshan Pavilion on the side of the road. The mountain pavilion overlooks the river, and you can see the Gaoyang wine shop, the Qingxu Pavilion carving, and the fog pavilion cloud window. On the north bank of Jinglong River, Shengyun Nunnery, Jiaoyuntai, Xiao Xianguan, Feicen Pavilion are lined up, and its tributaries meander to the south, forming a mountain villa in another. There is no such thing as a cave. There is a small hill outside the South Mountain, which stretches for 2 miles, and is called Furong City. Another house was built outside the Jinglong River, and the pattern was more exquisite than that of Furong City... The above is the second step of the Genyue project, the original state of the various scenic spots.

To say that it is in its original state is because there is a third step. This is the last level is the essence of Genyue, and the third step is decoration! Decoration, that is endless, the house has a price. The decoration is out of the picture. As long as you have money, what if you really have a white jade to make a horse for Tangjin?

With Zhao Ji's artistic taste, the humanistic essence of the Song Dynasty, and the richness of the land of China, can the decoration of Genyue be imagined?

At least Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng and others can't think of it. They are cramped in the harem and do not have a wide vision. Even if Tong Guan has been in the bitter cold land of the northwest for many years, he can't imagine the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River! Zhao Ji can't either. He has taste and connoisseurship, but now he has not traveled thousands of miles, has never seen all kinds of things, and can only sit at the table like a eater. When the chefs serve the dishes, they can taste the good or bad...

In the end, Cai Jing came up with the idea. The reason why it is him is determined by the tone of this decoration style! As a northerner, Zhao Ji has always longed for the beautiful and enchanting south, and he is strict with his ancestors, he can't swim in the south of the Yangtze River like the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties, so he wants to decorate Genyue as the water town in his dreams... Among the three giants of Cai, Tong and Liang Jingcheng, only Cai Jing has been relegated to the Yangtze River and lived on the shore of the West Lake in Hangzhou. How difficult it was at the time, but it was now transformed into the most precious treasure! has become Cai Jing's capital!

Genyue is gradually decorated and perfected in this way, such as the stones transported from Taihu Lake and Lingbi are placed around Genyue. There are pan trees and old trees and different flowers planted next to the stone, with the twists and turns of the mountain, the stone is chiseled into a road, from the foot of the mountain to the peak, the number is Chaotian. The hill outside the main peak is all made of piled soil and stones, the peak is like cutting, and there is the posture of the crane out of the dust, which is called Feilai Peak. The most planted plum is named Meiling; The most common place to plant Dan apricot is called Xingxiu; The slope of the hill that increases the soil and rocks and leaves a gap in the middle to carry the boxwood is called the boxwood ridge; Plant cloves at the dangerous place of the mountain cliff, called the clove ridge; Pepper orchid is planted under the red stone mountain, which is called pepper cliff. Increase the soil into a slope at the tail of the mountain, plant 10,000 cypress trees, the branches are soft, rub them continuously, the leaves form a cover, the crane, the shape of the dragon, named the dragon slope. Along the Genyue westward, carrying bamboo into a forest, outside the forest with a pure color of purple stone piled up into a mountain, the north of the mountain places a water storage tank, the top of the mountain chisels a deep pool, whenever Zhao Ji plays, orders the water worker to release water on the top of the mountain, forms a waterfall, named the purple stone wall, also known as the waterfall screen...

All of this is only a small part of it, and it is not enough. Although the scenery is beautiful, they are all dead things, and they must be decorated with spirit birds and beasts in order to become a fairyland on earth...

So I found a famous animal tamer named Xue Weng, this old man used a lot of precious feed every day and the birds and beasts in Genyue were close, more than a month later, the birds were ripe, he called and came, and he couldn't drive away. Now you can invite the emperor to come and watch...

When Zhao Ji came, there was a clear roar and ten thousand feathers soared into the air, surrounding the emperor's car, as if ten thousand birds were chasing the phoenix. From then on, it was called the Rite House. At this time, there were skilled craftsmen who made many oil silks into silk sacs, moistened them with water, and hung them between the cliffs. In this way, every morning the clouds of morning dew are immersed in it and adhere to the silk sac. When Zhao Ji came again, he opened the silk sac together, and suddenly the mist was hazy and hazy, and the mountain cliff loomed ten steps away, and he did not distinguish people within a hundred steps.

Is such pleasure still in the world? Still have regrets? But I have to solemnly point out: the decoration of Genyue is the most brilliant point of the Song Dynasty, and it is also the last step towards the abyss!

Let's talk about the ending of the immortal Wang Zaixi: When other immortals pursue the wealth of the mortal world, they half-hide it, but Wang Zaixi does not! He rushed over naked, roared and roared, and did everything possible to grab money and power, and did not let go of a little!

After he cured Concubine Zhao Ji's eyes, he became a friend of the women of the entire harem. The emperor's ears always echoed the words of Wang Tsaixi, the loveliest, most considerate and most supple warm Taoist priest. After a long time, Zhao Ji was respectful of love, his brain was dizzy, and he treated him with courtesy!

"Keqing" is a dignified word. It is different from the minister, who has to kneel to the emperor three times and bow nine times. More different from retainers. Retainers are slaves, and life and death are only in the mind of the master. Keqing is a kind of employment relationship close to equality, you have money and I are powerful, trust each other, and treat each other with benevolence and etiquette... Keqing is a "scholar" with dignity, high treatment, and regards honor as life

Since Wang Tsaixi had this identity, he has become detached. The laws of the state and the dignity of rank are not in his eyes. He hung out at the palace. Going in and out of the minister's house, trading power and money to dredge up relationships, participating in various gatherings of dignitaries, completely becoming a member of the country, and no longer a behind-the-scenes celebrity in the world of immortals...

What are the consequences of doing this? Please refer to the experience of another immortal king, Lao Zhi. Even Taishi Cai, who can't even stand Wang Laozhi's word measurement and fortune-telling, will tolerate this phenomenon?

Cai Jing wrote another chapter, and after writing it, he thought about it, Wang Zai used to be an authentic anti-bone boy. It's not as easy to deal with as Wang Laozhi. It's a two-pronged approach. At this time, news came in - Wang Tsai was ambitious and wanted to unify the monastic world in the capital. He was like a sect leader in the Treasure Palace, commanding other Taoist priests and treating Taoist friends as slaves...

It's fantastic. Heaven wants to destroy a man, let him go crazy first. Cai Jing then conspired with Lin Lingsu, and waited for Wang Zaixi to be denounced by the Taoist group and the backyard caught fire, before handing over his own recital...

Wang Tsaixi entered the backyard prison of Kaifeng Mansion that night. Almost that night, he encountered a prison storm and died in a small dark room. The external reasons are: he is depressed, physically tired, a little cold, and has eaten a few less meals...

In January of the 8th year of Zhenghe (1118), despair enveloped the people of Liao. That's when it happened. There was confusing news from the Jin State - Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda sent a letter to say that he wanted to come and go, but he still had special feelings for the Great Liao State, and he could not erase it even if he fought to the death. So please give me an official position in the Liao State...

Faint! The whole Liao people have become in mixed moods. What does this mean? Aguta is a good comrade, he changed his mind and finally decided not to rebel? Is it that there will be no need to go to the battlefield in the future, and everyone will live a good life again?

On the 4th, in a wonderful fantasy, Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Tianzuo sent an envoy Yelu Nuge to talk about the issue of official titles with the people of the Jin Kingdom, and by the way, also talked about the issue of peace with Liaojin. Other Liao soldiers and civilians have also gradually recovered their mental health and no longer think about working hard all day long. A fighting spirit that had disappeared for a hundred years, and the fighting spirit that had just been expected to gather weakened and died. In this illusory illusion of peace, Yelu Yanxi went hunting in the forest again. And the rest of the Liao people also think that this situation is very good, because this is a rare respite, and the Liao can be used to recover...

But unfortunately, in this year, there was a great famine in the whole territory of Liao, which reached the point of cannibalism. What kind of vitality is this going to restore? The gap with Jin Guo is getting wider and wider... And they didn't know it, and that a greater crisis occurred in this year, which far outstripped the Great Famine...

On February 18th, the Song Dynasty officially sent Wuyi Doctor Ma Zheng as an envoy for the first time, and crossed the sea with Gao Yaoshi to make Jin, in the name of buying horses, the real purpose was to unite the Jin State, plot the Liao State, and insert a knife in the back of the Khitans! In order to ensure the smooth operation of this operation, Zhao Ji sent many people, one of whom was proficient in Jurchen.

This person's name is legendary, his name is Hu Yanqing. In the legend of the Romance, Hu Yanqing, who was on an equal footing with the Yang family, had the same status as Bao Zheng, and reached the title of double king, Hu Yanqing, who took this group on the road.

In this month, Yelu Nuge returned to Da Liao and brought with him several prerequisites for the Liao-Jin peace proposed by Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguta: 1. The Liao State paid tribute with brother and brother Jin, year after year; 2. Give me all the states and counties of Shangjing Road, Zhongjing Road, and Xingzhongfu 3 Road; 3Take princes, princesses, horses, and princes as hostages; 4Give me back Ashu; 5 Give me a letter; 6 Transfer the relationship between Song, Xia, and Goryeo to Jin... After satisfying the above 6 articles, it is possible to negotiate peace between Liaojin!

Negotiation of peace and alliance is the process of bargaining between the two sides. So on March 12, Jerunugo sent a second envoy to the Kingdom of Jin to bargain...

On the 18th, Wanyan Agu inquired about the suggestion of Wanyan Lou's room, sealed the Lou room for 10,000 households, and guarded the Huanglong Mansion.

On May 1, Yelunugo returned to Daliao, and for the second time Jin did not make any progress. On the 17th, Jerunugo made the third gold, and this time there was a little progress. The other party also sent an official envoy, Hu Tugon, to meet the Great Liao Emperor with him, but the conditions were still not changed...

On June 16, Jerunugo made his fourth envoy to the Kingdom of Jin. This time, Yelu Yanxi showed great sincerity. asked Brother Nu to bring the books, edicts, tables, and scriptures of the Song, Xia, and Goryeo kingdoms and the Great Liao Kingdom over the years to see Yan Aguta, and finally made the other party make a huge concession. In July, Hu Tugon and Yelu Nuge returned to Daliao, bringing new conditions. Compared with the original conditions: the annual coins in Article 1 can be reduced; Article 2: You can go to the capital road and Xingzhong Mansion without it, just give me the middle capital road. Article 3 is exempt, and hostages can be dispensed without; Article 4 is not negotiable, Ah Shu must give it to me; You've done things like 5 and 6, so there's no need to say any more. In addition, one more article is added: officially canonize me as the emperor of the Dajin Kingdom with Han rites!

On August 20th, Yelu Nuge and Tu Xiang sent an envoy to the Jin Kingdom for the fifth time to discuss the canonization ceremony. In September, Wanyan Agu detained his sudden desire, asked Yelu Nuge to return again, and asked him to bring a message, "If the conditions for canonization cannot be complied with, in the future, Yelu Yanxi, you will stop asking your slave brother to run around so hard" Poor Yelu Nuge! In just 8 months, he has made 5 round-trips between Liaojin and Jin...

On September 6, the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, Ma Zheng, Hu Yanqing, and Gao Yaoshi, a merchant of the Jin Kingdom, after seven and a half months of preparation, officially went to the sea in Dengzhou, crossed the Bohai Bay, and sailed to the Jin Kingdom... On the 20th, they arrived in Jinguo.

Treatment is a rope. The Jinguo patrol team is really everywhere, and after they found the living, they couldn't help but say that they were all tied up, and after Hu Yanqing repeatedly identified themselves, they sent people to escort them to see Yan Aguta. Aguda was far away on the bank of the Lailiu River at this time, and he walked for more than half a month before he saw it. The first contact between Song and Kim finally arrived.

The first sentence of the Song Dynasty envoy Ma Zheng was "Please don't get me wrong, I am not the envoy of the Song Dynasty..." But seeing that the expression on Ma Zheng's face was very sincere, he said the second sentence "This is for friendship and respect" Ma Zheng reviewed history, revisited the friendship between the Jurchen ancestors and Song Taizu more than 100 years ago, and denounced the bad behavior of the Liao State against its neighbors. If the Jin State agreed, the Song Dynasty would send an official envoy to negotiate.

Wanyan agreed, and he sent Li Shanqing, Xiao Sanduo, Bo Da and other 3 people with national letters and gifts, and crossed the sea with Ma Zheng to Kaifeng in the Great Song Dynasty to see Zhao Ji of Song Huizong...

A few days before Ma Zheng arrived in Jin, on September 17, Yelunuge made his sixth envoy to Jin. In October, he returned to Liao with Tu Yu and brought the letter of Jin State.

On December 2, the first year of Chonghe (1118), Ma Zheng and his entourage went ashore in Dengzhou, Song Province. On the 7th, Da Liao unilaterally agreed on the canonization ceremony, and Yelu Nuge sent the Jin State for the seventh time this year.

On January 10, 1119, the 2nd year of Chonghe, Li Shanqing and other envoys entered Kaifeng City. It can be said that the sincerity of the Jin State at this time was far greater than that of the Song Dynasty. Wanyan Aguda was extremely hungry for his allies, and Zhao Ji suddenly fell from the sky, which simply made him ecstatic... So the two sides talked very happily, Zhao Ji was very satisfied, and sent Zhao Youkai as the official envoy, Ma Zheng and Wang Huai as the deputy envoys, and crossed the sea with edicts and gifts to sign a contract in Jinguo. When the envoys went to Dengzhou and were about to get on the ship and go to sea, an accident happened. Zhao Youkai suddenly fell ill, became very ill and severe, and died directly. Immediately afterwards, Kaifeng City received an internal report in the Liao State, saying that the Liao State had canonized Yan Agu as the emperor of Donghuaiguo, and the two countries had become friendly countries...

Zhao Ji was depressed, what else is going on? Emperor Huaiguo of Dudong, these savages are simply forgetting their righteousness! (To be continued......)
