Chapter 15 Emperor Qin visits the Three Immortal Mountains

The first emperor first came to the observation deck not far from the palace gate, which was more than ten zhang high and surrounded by railings. Emperor Qin led his ministers to climb the observation deck to look, but saw that the Three Immortal Mountains were born out of nowhere, standing between heaven and earth. Mao Ying pointed to a mountain in front and said: "Your Majesty, the one in front is Penglai Immortal Mountain, the middle is Yingzhou Island, and the farthest east side is Abbot Island." This pond is more than 20 miles long from east to west, 10 miles wide from north to south, and there are gates at the east and west ends. The location of the three mountains is sparse and dense, staggered, and the layout of the finished glyph is rough. The whole mountain is high in the west and low in the east, and the pillow is in the west and the east, symbolizing that all parts of Shandong will always submit to the Qin State. Qin Shi Huang listened to Mao Ying's explanation and was full of praise. Accompanied by hundreds of officials, they embarked on the water passage to Penglai to the north.

The first emperor walked on the passage, but saw that the water of the pond was clear, the blue waves were rippling, and the mountain shadow was reflected, like a picture screen. Look at the pond again, there are red lotuses with their heads held high, as well as leaping carp and ducks playing in the water, all of them are free to play and contrast with each other. When the team came to the verdant depths of the mountain, they found that there was a tall and majestic gate railing in front of them, this gate fence glazed tile roof, red columns, white marble pedestal, divided into the main gate and the left and right two side doors, look like the eaves and arches, overflowing with color. In the middle of the door railing, hang a gilded flat forehead, and write "Penglai Wonderland" four seal characters. After passing the gate, the first step is a curved cobblestone road, next to clusters of flowers and precious trees, and some small rockeries, piled up with stones and jade, which are natural. After walking for more than two miles, we came to the place where we climbed the mountain and began to climb the mountain.

There are small bridges, stone tables, pavilions, and seats beside the mountain road, which are newly decorated, and there are large trees like umbrella covers, which are specially designed for visitors to shade and avoid the sun, which is very pleasant. When people walked through the mountain bay, they heard a thunderous sound, which almost shocked everyone, but they didn't know what it was. The emperor hurriedly turned the mountain, and the sound came from a waterfall on the mountain. The First Emperor asked Mao Ying curiously: "Where does this water come from?" Mao Ying replied: "There is a waterway on the mountain, and the waterfall is formed by using a water wheel to lead the water to the highest place. The First Emperor was so excited that he saw the water cascading down from the cliffs, the waves splashing at the roots of the water like snow, and the mist everywhere appeared in a beautiful rainbow under the reflection of the morning sun. Seeing this, the ladies were greatly appreciative and chattered. Qin Shi Huang couldn't help but smile when he saw that people were passionate. The precious tree species such as pine, fence, nan, and cypress transplanted near and far away are decorated on the light-colored mountain stones because of their mottled and verdant colors, as well as those golden roofs and pavilions with blue bricks and red tiles, which are buried deep in the vast expanse and look like a colorful gouache painting.

Everyone enjoyed the scenery all the way and finally climbed the main peak of Penglai. At the top of this peak, it is wide and flat, and there is a Chucheng Pavilion built specifically for Maomeng. There is Tianxiantai on the opposite side, there are two small peaks on the left and right, the left peak is built on the hope of immortal view, and the right peak is built with the Xiansheng Building. Those green tiles and red walls are buried among the famous flowers and trees, and the morning mist that spreads everywhere seems to be covered with a faint veil, forming a hazy scene and adding a mysterious atmosphere.

The First Emperor came to the Chucheng Pavilion and offered a very devout sacrifice to Mao Chucheng, and he prayed silently: "Immortals, I hope to come here as soon as possible and get your enlightenment." "After the first emperor finished the sacrifice, he came to the Tianxian platform, he looked north at the Weishui, it was really proud; Overlooking the orchid pond again, I suddenly felt relaxed and happy. I saw that the trees on both sides of the orchid pond were like green barriers, surrounding the turquoise pond and the water slowly flowing eastward, and the water waves rippled in bursts. The golden Lanchi Palace in the distance is located in the south of the pond, and the roof is filled with thick smoke and purple mist, and the fragrance is overflowing, which is the smell of burning peppers and orchids. When people are immersed in the scene, they realize that this is not a fairyland, but a fairyland. The First Emperor couldn't help but admire: "I don't want to be artificial, but I can reach such a wonderful level!" How can immortals not come to the world? "He named Mao Ying the lord of the three mountains, and gave him the title of 'Penglai Zhenren'. There is a poem that praises:

Building Penglai is amazing, and the king is obsessed with worshipping immortals.

Where are the immortals in the Chucheng Pavilion? The shadow of the sun shifts in the Holy Building.

The east refuses to pass the letter to praise the shengshi, and the west comes to Weishui to inject Yao Pond.

Haoran made things inferior to the heart, how many men were injured and parted.

It was noon, and the first emperor and everyone rested in the pavilion. An hour later, he led the people down the mountain. When they came to the bottom of the mountain, they found that there was a unique water road, so everyone hurriedly walked to the road. There are round windows on both sides of the road, and after walking the road, you will come to the boundary of Yingzhou Island. At this time, there is a narrow road that winds eastward, and then winds around to the north, and the water is even more expansive. When you walk through a gentle slope, you will see a unique rainbow bridge in front of you. This bridge is built of sandalwood, with a corridor roof, and the bridge body is 30 meters long, and it is named 'Tongxian Bridge'. The water under the bridge was murmuring, and the waves were splashing, so everyone boarded from the left and came down from the right. A little bit forward, I saw the second gate railing in front of me, and the words "Yingzhou Lansheng" on the book were eye-catching and solemn, and the penmanship was vigorous. Once inside, we climbed along the rugged mountain road until we reached the southwest, the steepest part of the path, where a steep stone staircase was made of stone, which was called the 'Ladder to the Heavens'. All of them were panting and climbing towards the ladder. The ladder stands steeply, and if there is no iron chain on either side, people will fall off the cliff when climbing. The ministers protected the First Emperor and still climbed the ladder, and the people behind could only see the heels of the people in front, while the people in front could see the top of the heads of the people behind. Waiting for the ladder, you will reach the main peak of Yingzhou Island. There is a four-storey octagonal and four-walled attic called Shengxian Pavilion, which is extremely spectacular. On the left is the Chisun Temple, and on the right is the Guangcheng Temple. Their architectural level is very exquisite, and it can be described as an artistic masterpiece in the history of pavilion architecture. There is a poem that praises:

The peaks stand prominently, and Cen Yan is rugged.

The iron cable is empty and the path is thin, and the sandalwood bridge is low in the white clouds.

Yingzhou is comfortable, and the village road is depressed.

For no reason, the world suffered this disaster, and the sand dunes inevitably returned to the west.

At this time, it was already afternoon, and the First Emperor stayed at the Shengxian Pavilion to prepare for dinner. An hour later, it was dusk. The First Emperor was resting, and Mao Ying came to pay a visit: "Your Majesty, there are 20,000 lanterns hanging on the mountain, and the night scene here must be rare in the world!" Now that it's getting late, I'm here to ask Your Majesty for instructions, can you hold the lamp? When the first emperor heard this, he ordered the lantern to be held. When Mao Ying got the promise, she walked out and lit the highest lamp first. At this time, the attendants in other places saw that the first light was lit, and they lit the lanterns in various places one after another. After a while, Penglai and the abbot lit up, and Lanchi also lit up. The peaks, pavilions, rockeries, bridges, water corridors, corridors, dragon boats, water surfaces, as well as railings and sidewalks next to the pool, are full of colorful lights, as if the entire orchid pond has become a world of lights.

Judging from the overall layout, Abbot Island is the farthest away from here, and it is the so-called gathering and scattering, and the density is appropriate. After Qin Shi Huang watched the night scene, he reluctantly embarked on the road to Abbot Island. Originally, there were two roads connected, one was a land road, which was about five miles long, the road surface was two meters above the water, and the road was six meters wide. As far as the eye could see, the reflection of the light fell on the sparkling water, like a swimming water dragon. The other way is the waterway, which can only be taken by boat. Qin Shi Huang saw that everyone was also tired of walking, so he decided to take the waterway. When they came to the shore at the bottom of the mountain, they had already prepared their boats. The first emperor and Mao Ying sat on the same big dragon boat, the ministers in a boat, the beauties in the beauty seat in a boat, and the prince and grandson in a boat. The First Emperor's dragon boat took the lead, and they rowed into the water in turn. At this time, from a distance, Mt. Hojo looks like a large lantern floating in the water, and the light-colored mountain rock shows a golden yellow hue under the action of the light. Just as the ship was moving forward, someone suddenly exclaimed, "Monster! Monster! "It turned out that it was not a monster, but a large stone whale statue placed in the water, and because of its huge size, it scared them.

Half an hour later, the First Emperor and his entourage came to Abbot Island. There were already palace people on the shore to take over, and the monarchs and ministers went ashore together. After walking a few hundred meters, I found the gate railing of the 'Abbot's Wonder'. The first emperor was still in high spirits, so he led everyone to climb the mountain while he was in good spirits. Although it was already evening, the weather was still very hot. The monarchs and ministers sweated like rain and were full of spirit, and they climbed to the main peak. On a flat land here, there are Xuanyuan Palace, Bagua Terrace, and Chucheng Cave. There is Xianmen Temple on the left peak, and there is a high oath shrine on the right peak. At this time, the Big Dipper is right above the head. There is a poem that praises:

Looking at the waves of the Wei River in the south, the flow is not exhaustive.

The golden stage rippled, and the Big Dipper hung towards the abbot.

Warlocks are ruining the country, and the first emperor is getting stronger in learning.

Spring flowers and autumn months are every year, when will Khan Man descend on the valley mountain?

The First Emperor ascended the Bagua Platform surrounded by everyone, and at this time, the Lanchi was shrouded in lights everywhere. Although the night is deeper, the night view is even more beautiful. The first emperor took the stage and looked around, and for a time his mind was open, full of pride, and he only felt that the people in the world were all under his feet, so he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Qin unified the six countries, the world is smooth and rainy, and the country and the people are safe." Today, I will be on this stage with all of you, and I would like to congratulate you together: He congratulates the world and the world, the achievement of Daqin, standing proudly in the sky, and standing in the east! Erhe Qin people are loyal and brave, fight millions, and there will be the world in the end! Sanhe and three mountains are completed, the immortals are complete, and Jiaping is happy! Why don't you sing a song with me to help make this meeting prosperous! When everyone heard the emperor's invitation, they all responded in a loud voice: "Obey the holy command!" The musicians played an elegant piece of music in unison, and the ladies danced on a red canopy in the center. The crowd sang in unison:

Abbot Island is like a Yao pond, and the group is full of laughter and the east wind. Wang Sun Jiali came to accompany her, and the brocade clothes and embroidered clothes reflected the beauty. Pei Yuming sounded loudly, and the elixir and jade liquid persuaded me.

The hanging road of Yingzhou Island is long, and the wolfberry shows the fragrance of tang pear. The princes and guests are all here, and the hairpins and ribbons are high-spirited. The wide sleeves and cloud shoes are magnificent, and I wish the king a long life.

On Penglai Mountain, the phoenix comes, and the Nanmu stands tall and blooms. The founding emperor is fortunate today, and the dragon crown is glorious. Heroic and full of spirit, I wish my Wang Le a happy heart.

After the song, the first emperor drank dozens of cups with everyone, and without feeling drunk, he said to the hundred officials: "Spread the edict: tomorrow reward Qianshou with six stones of rice and two sheep for every mile, so that the world can celebrate for ten days, in response to the meaning of 'Jiaping'!" The ministers shouted in unison: "Long live, long live, long live!" The voice was loud and resounding through the sky.

In the next few days, the first emperor, accompanied by Mao Ying, lingered here all day. One night, the First Emperor wanted to go to Lanchi again, so he only took a few strong guards out of the palace. Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, five masked killers popped out, each of them holding sharp blades, to kill the First Emperor. But his guards were all masters of Ouchi, and after a few moves, the five of them couldn't parry it, and they immediately got out. It turned out that they were none other than the five strong men of Nabolangsha. Frightened by this, the First Emperor became furious and summoned the people of the vicinity to torture and interrogate him to find out who the Assassin was. In this way, it was mixed for more than 20 days, but nothing was found. The emperor thought that this was done by the people of Guanzhong, so he deliberately raised the price of rice to retaliate against the people. He raised the price of one stone of rice to sixteen hundred yuan. Prime Minister Wang Juan was loyal and once again made a blunt statement. didn't expect that this time he really annoyed the emperor, so he cut Wang Juan from his official position and put him in prison.
