The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 229 Xianwen Pavilion

The Imperial Palace of the Southern Song Dynasty is located at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain in the south of Lin'an. Fang Ling said that she heard people say that Fenghuang Mountain is the most Fengshui place in Lin'an.

As I walked, I admired it carefully. It has been almost a year, and this is the first time I have deliberately tasted every scene and every thing in the palace.

There are many pavilions and halls in the palace. There are five steps to the first floor and ten steps to one pavilion. , It’s a beautiful place. From a distance, Phoenix Mountain is mostly covered by tall houses. Naturally, I can’t see the good Fengshui of the palace. I just feel that the palace is like a huge garden. The scale of the palace far exceeds that of the Forbidden City in Beijing, and there is nothing more beautiful than it.

With my knowledge, I can't tell one or two of them. Maybe the Efang Palace back then was nothing more than that. If Du Mu is reborn, he will definitely write another "Song Palace Fu".

On the left side of Funing Hall is the Jinshui Pond, and next to the Jinshui Pool is the Xianwen Pavilion. When you walk closer, you can see that the Xianwen Pavilion has been repainted, and the Xianwen Hall on the door plaque has also been renamed Xianwen Pavilion, giving people a sense of It feels brand-new, Xianwen Pavilion is not big, its area is only a quarter of that of Funing Hall, it is considered as a smaller palace in the palace, as for the other five similar pavilions (the same kind of pavilion in the Northern Song Dynasty was built in Bianjing ) I have never been there, and even Zhao Xuan's memory of it is blank.

After entering the room, I took a quick glance and found that the collection of books in the Xianwen Pavilion was more than that in the Imperial Study Room, but it seemed a bit too messy.

"Xiaoqi, the imperial meal at noon is here today, I want to take a look at the imperial brushes and books left by the late emperor here,"

"Yes, official,"

Fang Ling’s words reminded me last night that I should better integrate into this era and regard myself as a member of the Song Dynasty, so as to truly lead the Song Dynasty to ZTE.

According to my previous inertial thinking, every time I went to a new place, I would buy a local map and study the layout of the city first. After searching for a while, I finally found a few maps and introductions about Lin'an City and the Imperial Palace.

"Xiaoqi,"

"Official, the younger one is here,"

"Go tell Concubine Quan to come here,"

"Yes, the official, let's go now, little one,"

After Xiaoqi left, I first opened up the records about the Southern Song Palace.

The imperial palace starts from Fengshan Gate in the east, ends at the west foot of Fenghuang Mountain in the west, and runs from Tiaoxuwan to Wansongling in the north-south direction. It feels the same. It exceeds the area of ​​the Forbidden City (about 9 square meters). There are nearly 150 palaces and pavilions in the entire palace. The largest palace is the Daqing Palace, the main hall of the Palace. The most peculiar thing about Qian Palace (now renamed Funing Palace) is that the imperial garden in the palace can directly lead to the top of Phoenix Mountain, but I have never been there yet.

Since Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty went south, he built the imperial palace under the Phoenix Mountain. After several generations of emperors in the Southern Song Dynasty built and expanded, it became the current pattern. In the period of Emperor Lizong, due to repeated wars with Mongolia, the treasury became increasingly empty. The Southern Song Dynasty inherited the commercial atmosphere of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the economy was developed, so it was natural to spend money on the construction of the palace. According to the statistics of the first emperor, the entire palace has a total of thirty halls, 33 halls, four rooms, seven buildings, and twenty pavilions. , Xuanyi, Tailiu, Guanyi, Tingjiushi, this does not include the Crown Prince’s East Palace, Emperor Lizong once described the luxury of the palace in his later years, my Great Song Dynasty Palace, magnificent and magnificent, exquisite workmanship, The gold and green flowing pills, pavilions and pavilions, complement each other, like palaces in the sky.

I didn't know whether it was happiness or worry, and I thought to myself: "It turns out that my home is so luxurious."

Just thinking about it, Xiaoqi came to report: "The official, the whole concubine is here,"

"Xuan,"

Quan Jiu went inside and saluted, "Jiu'er has seen the official family."

"Jiu'er, come and help me sort out the books in Xianwen Pavilion,"

"Well," Quan Jiu said after looking at it, not knowing why, "Officials, the books here are stacked very neatly."

"Jiu'er, what I mean is to reclassify books and materials according to their categories, and then organize and arrange them. For example, these books and brochures are all about the palace, so they are put together,"

"Yes, Guan, Jiu'er understands,"

I smiled and praised: "Jiu'er is smart, and you can understand even a little bit, but you can't handle so many materials and classics alone. After the morning, you can call Yu Xiurong and the others to help. "

"Well, the official family, this is good, so that the sisters will not be bored,"

Quan Jiu and I finished lunch at Xianwen Pavilion, Quan Jiu said: "Officials, Jiu'er is going to Ningkun Palace to play cards with the Queen Mother in the afternoon,"

"Well, let's go, so that the old lady won't get bored all by herself,"

After Quan Jiu said goodbye, I opened the map of the palace and looked at it. The more I looked at it, the more I felt that the palace of the Southern Song Dynasty was so vast and majestic. No wonder Kublai Khan of Mongolia was so concerned about this colorful world. I didn’t go to most of the palace. However, when Zhao Yu was the crown prince, it was the same, except that when Song Lizong summoned him, he would go in and out of Ninggan Palace and Daqing Palace, and the rest of the time basically stayed in his East Palace, rather than walking around in the palace.

I compared the map and carefully studied the distribution of the palace.

The Lin'an Imperial Palace is divided into five parts: the Outer Dynasty, the Inner Court, the East Palace, the Academy, and the Palace Garden. The Outer Dynasty has the largest area and is located in the south and west. The Inner Court is northeast, the East Palace is in the southeast, and the Academy is the smallest. The garden is also in the north, generally in the pattern of the front court and the back bedroom. The palace city is surrounded by the imperial city. There are no four gates in the city, only the north and south palace gates are opposite to the north and south gates of the imperial city. The buildings in the outer dynasty are mainly composed of four groups of palaces: Daqing Hall, Chuigong Hall, Back Hall (also known as Yanhe Hall), and Duancheng Hall. Inside the Nangong Gate is the main place for court meetings. The Chuigong Hall is on the north side of the west side of the Daqing Hall, the apse is north of the Chuigong Hall, and the Duancheng Hall is east of the Apse. The place where daily government affairs and ministers are summoned often rains in the morning, or if there is an accident, it will be changed to the back hall. In case of the holiday before the taboo and the day of the ancestral temple, the imperial back hall will be used. The regulations are simple and simple, the ranks are one-level, and it is as small as an ordinary person's residence. The Duancheng Hall is a multi-functional hall. , there are many palaces in the inner court. The emperor’s sleeping halls include Ninggan Palace (Funning Palace), Qinzheng Palace, Xianwen Palace, etc. Funing Palace is the most important, and Jiaming Palace is where the emperor eats. Weihua Hall, Ningkun Palace, Ciyuan Hall, Renming Hall, Shouli Hall, etc. In the palace, there are Xuande Hall where the emperor and his ministers discuss affairs, Chongzheng Hall and Zangshu Pavilion where lectures are held. The palaces used by the prince to study are Xinyitang, Yizhai, Boya Building, Xiuchun Hall and other garden buildings. The Palace Houyuan is located in the north of the inner court. The hall and several pavilions, the academy is in the Hening gate between the palace city and the imperial city.

After reading the brief introduction of the palace, I have a general understanding. If the Southern Song Dynasty palace can be handed down to future generations, it will be the first palace in the world. Then I dug out the information about Lin’an City. With the experience of shopping last night, I will After reading the materials and confirming each other, it is indeed a lot clearer.

The streets of Lin'an are in a pattern of five horizontal lines and four vertical lines. The Tian Street mentioned by Fang Ling was officially called Yu Street in the Song Dynasty. It is the main street of Lin'an City, with a total length of about 9 miles. From the outside of the branch to the bottom of the Guanqiao, there is no one who does not buy or sell. This is also the scene of Yujie. Yujie belongs to the central comprehensive business district. There are markets for special commodities, such as gold and silver transactions, as well as markets for general commodities. There are also many "Wazi" places, including teahouses, hotels, acrobatics, storytelling, sumo wrestling and other places. In addition, there are four north-south roads similar to the imperial street, and four east-west arterial roads. They are all passages between the east and west city gates, and there are several sub-level streets, all leading to the imperial street in the middle. The whole city is adapted to local conditions, forming grids of different sizes. The naming, formation and prosperity of streets are the evidence of the collapse of the Lifang system in the Tang Dynasty. Lin’an’s official handicraft workshops are mostly concentrated in the Wulinfang and Zhaoxianfang areas in the north of the city, and the official porcelain kilns are located at the foot of Phoenix Mountain in the south of the city. The silk spinning industry is mostly workshops that are both industrial and commercial, and they are concentrated in the Guanxiang area in the middle section of Yujie Street. Pengqiao in the middle section of Yujie Street is the largest book market in Lin'an. The engraving workshop is near Pengqiao. The cultural area composed of Taixue and Wuxue is in the Qiantang Gate near the northwest corner of West Lake.

The residential area in Lin'an City is mainly in the middle of the city, and the mansions of many dignitaries and relatives are located behind the commercial market next to the Royal Street.

Most places in the south of the Yangtze River have mixed water and land, and Lin'an is of course no exception. There are four rivers in the city, among which the Yanqiao River is the main transportation channel, and the two sides of the river are mostly busy cities. There are many rivers outside the city, connected to the Grand Canal. The intersecting rivers and lakes form a water transportation network.

I couldn't help praising to myself that this capital city of the Southern Song Dynasty is worthy of being the number one city in the world. After looking at it for a while, I got up and walked slowly around the bookshelves, taking out a few books from time to time and flipping through them at will.

Xianwen Pavilion has a rich collection of books. Although its collection is not as important and confidential as the collection of Yushufang, it is superior in its extensive content, large number, and all-encompassing content. It is almost equivalent to the comprehensive library of later generations.

It’s no wonder that the emperors of all dynasties have to arrange special personnel to be responsible for sorting out. There are indeed too many contents. Now, I have to arrange work for my concubines. With so many books or imperial pens, it is impossible for me to read them all. I can only pick out the ones that are useful to me, and this selection is left to Quan Jiu and the others. I will let them make excerpts for each book, and I can just ask them for any information I need. However, it is not their turn to be named a Wenge University scholar.

I walked to the innermost bookshelf. The classics here are not books, but most of them are Song Lizong's imperial pens. I picked up the top volume and opened it. Looking at it, I suddenly felt that the word "capital" never appeared in the whole article. Not only this article, but also in the imperial pens of Song Lizong I have seen in the past, everything about Lin'an is called "walking in the place", while Do not call it the capital directly.

Walking in the place is the name of the place where the ancient emperor visited.

I continued to read the materials of the late emperor's imperial pens about Lin'an, and in one of them I finally saw Song Lizong's own handwriting, "Lin'an, I am here during my trip to the Song Dynasty. Since Emperor Gaozong crossed south, he used Lin'an as his place of residence. The late emperor didn't care about it." This is the principle of our dynasty. Our dynasty has four capitals, east, west, north, south, and only Bianliang is the foundation. Most people are content with the status quo and are used to Lin'an as their capital. However, if we use this as our capital again, Don't you really admit that the northern Central Plains is someone else's territory?"
