Chapter 21: The Past of Xianzun Town (5)

Imperial

There is a clear rule in the palace that it is forbidden to take away all the books and classics in the national academy, regardless of whether they are useful or not. Not even the head of the academy. Besides, Guo Da has just taken office, and he doesn't want to cause any trouble.

Guo Da wanted to steal books, but after a good time, he realized that it was not easy to steal books. There is a strict registration system for the use of books every day, plus there are special personnel to check and count the number of books every day, and there are guards at the entrance of the library cabinet, so that the officials of the academy have to search their bodies when entering and leaving the academy, except for what they bring with them, they are not allowed to take them out. Not to mention bringing a book, even if it is secretly entrained, even a piece of paper is not easy to take out of the academy.

Guo Da is also helpless, in order to work every day, he had to bring his own pen and paper, and rushed to find the book to peek there a few times, and copied it on the paper, but in order not to arouse suspicion, he could only read a lot of it every day but only copied a little bit, so that a whole page was copied down after a few days.

In time for the October vacation, the emperor was also extraordinarily Yaxing, and even opened the imperial garden in his palace for the ministers to enjoy casually. Guo Da, who already likes beautiful things, naturally did not let go of this opportunity and accompanied the emperor to visit the imperial garden.

The Imperial Garden is indeed beautiful, and the scenery in each place is scattered, even if it is more, it does not seem redundant, and even if it is less, it does not look monotonous. Guo Da secretly sighed in his heart the luxury of royal life, but on the other hand, he was attracted by the beautiful scenery of the royal family. Suddenly, Guo Da remembered the part about feng shui that he had seen on the Qimen Dunjia, and looked around, and that's it, Guo Da suddenly noticed that something was wrong.

First of all, the five elements do not match at all. According to the five elements, the five elements are born of each other: gold gives birth to water, water gives birth to wood, wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, and earth gives birth to gold. The five elements are mutually restrictive: gold and wood, wood and earth, earth and water, water and fire, and fire and gold. and the geographical distribution of the five elements. The Golden Light Pagoda, which represents gold, was built on the position of the wood, and the ornamental tree, which represents the wood, was built on the position of the earth. A beach representing the soil was built on the location of the water, and an artificial lake representing the water was built on the location of the fire. And the red maple, which represents fire, remained in the position of gold.

This indicates: Build the Five Elements with complete restraint! The beginning of the murder! Behind this, it must be the work of gangsters. Guo Da wanted to tell the emperor but didn't know how to speak, and he might lose his head if he was not careful. And there are some ministers around, although Guo Da has not completely seen the intrigue in the palace, but he is still clear, even if the emperor forgives him if he is not careful, it will really be over if he is added to the vinegar by those other ministers.

Guo Da has always been a rectum, but now that he has a problem, he can't say that his face is red. And it just so happened that the emperor also glanced at Guo Da, and was just about to ask Guo Da what he thought, and when he saw Guo Da's embarrassment, he took back the words that came to his lips. Looking at the emperor Guo Da, who was getting more and more anxious, he wanted to laugh, but he was a little anxious, maybe Guo Da really had something to say to himself. So the emperor finally spoke

"Guo Aiqing, I have something I want to discuss with you, I wonder if Aiqing can appreciate me a face and come to the Garden Pavilion alone with me!"

Guo Da heard the words of asking the emperor to relieve himself from the siege, and hurriedly flatteringly continued

"The emperor has an explanation, how dare Weichen slack off. Besides, it is already an honor for the emperor to invite the ministers to discuss together, how dare they resist the decree! ”

"Alright, let's go!"

The emperor said, motioning for the other ministers to stay where they were and continue to watch, while he and Guo Da came to the pavilion in the center of the imperial garden, which is the so-called Yuanxin Pavilion. The garden pavilion building is elegant and chic, and the location is in the middle of the imperial garden, and with the relatively high terrain, you can just take in the scenery of the entire imperial garden. Guo Da followed the emperor to the pavilion, and under the emperor's explanation, sat opposite the emperor.

"Now it's just you and me here, let's say, what can make you like that."

Guo Da exhaled, a little cautious

"Weichen does have something, but I don't know if I should say it."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it, as long as it's not too much, forgive your sins."

"Emperor Xie is lenient. Then Weichen said. Your Majesty, I would like to ask you one thing, that is, who designed this imperial garden and ...... and ......"

"And what did you say, I said spare you this time!"

And...... "After listening to the emperor's words, Guo Da finally let go, but he was still a little careful", and, has anything strange or bad or inexplicable happened after the completion of this imperial garden? ”

Hearing this, the emperor was very surprised

"Huh? How do you know? This strange thing has indeed happened, and more than once, but the incident is not big, that is, people near the imperial garden in the palace occasionally get some strange diseases or have some strange dreams, but it is very troublesome, so that no one has been able to solve it so far, and then a charlatan saw that this is a problem with this imperial garden, so this imperial garden has been locked up, and even I rarely come in. But then how do you know about this, you just don't have much time to become an official. ”

"I'll explain this to Your Majesty right away, before that, can you tell me who presided over the construction of this imperial garden and who designed it?"

The emperor seemed a little unhappy about Guo Da's tone, but he was interested in his words and had just said that he would not blame him, so he relaxed his tone.

"This imperial garden was completed three years ago, and I am the initiator of this imperial garden, and the designer and builder is a barbarian from the north."

"That's right!"

"Huh? What that's right. ”

"Your Majesty, I will explain my opinion to you, and ask the Emperor to join me in looking at the layout around this imperial garden." Guo Da said, walking to the railing in the pavilion and inspecting the scenery in the distance. "Your Majesty, look at this garden setting."

Guo Da pointed to one place and pointed to other places

"The setting of this garden is indeed beautiful, but it completely violates the five elements of yin and yang, as well as the eight trigrams of yin and yang. And it's not a simple misalignment, it's a complete and perfect restraint of all the positions of the five elements, so people who live here or nearby will have this or that strange behavior. If Weichen didn't guess wrong, Your Majesty, you have been calculated, and the other party's purpose is very clear, starting from a young age, overthrowing you little by little. ”

The emperor was taken aback for a while, not only because of what Guo Da said, but also because of what Guo Da knew. He looked at the garden for a long time before asking

"You know Feng Shui?"
