Chapter 823 What is she going to do
Despite his doubts, Zhao Bing still came to the city to "rehabilitate" under the order of the Empress Dowager. Yanxiang Garden is located in Gushan, and is the best royal garden with the West Lake landscape. The lake view is fully visible. It was formerly known as the Four Saints Hall, which was originally Lin Hejing's former residence. Many people, like Zhao Bing, do not know who Lin Hejing is, but they have probably heard of it when it comes to "Plum Wife and Crane Son".
Lin Hejing is a native. He was born in a Confucian family and was peaceful and fond of ancient times. He traveled to Jianghuai and other places in his early years. He never served in office for life and never married a wife. He was with plum blossoms and cranes. He said that he was not a family, nor was he fame and fortune. He only felt that the green mountains and green waters were suitable for me. After being in his forties, he lived in seclusion in West Lake, Hangzhou and built a hut.
He accompanied the lake and mountains, often traveled around the temples of West Lake, and returned with high monks and poets. According to legend, for more than 20 years, he was less than the city and was covered with common clothes for life. Whenever a guest arrived, he asked the boy to let the crane fly, and Lin Bu would return from the boat when he saw the crane. Prime Minister Wang Sui and Hangzhou County Magistrate Xue Yingjun respected him and loved his poems. He went to Gushan to sing with him and paid a salary to rebuild a new house. He had poems with Fan Zhongyan and Mei Yaochen.
When Emperor Zhenzong heard of Lin Hejing's name, he gave grain and silk, and ordered the prefectures and counties to pay mercy. Although he was grateful, he did not apologize for this. Many people advised him to become an official, but he politely declined. He did not marry him for his whole life and had no children. He only liked to plant plums and raise cranes. He claimed that he regarded plums as his wife and cranes as his son. At that time, people called plums and cranes his wife. After he was old, he built his tomb on the side of the hut. He was 61 soldiers. His nephew Lin Zhang and Lin Bin went to Hangzhou together and were full of rituals. When he heard about the emperor, Renzong praised him and gave him the posthumous title of "Mr. Hejing" and buried him on the side of the hut.
After the Song Dynasty moved south, the Four Saints of the Royal Taoist Temple was built on Gushan and the Imperial Garden was built. Gaozong, Xiaozong and Lizong were both lucky. During the period of Lizong, the Four Saints Yanxiang Temple was converted into the Western Taiyi Palace. However, during this period, the national strength declined, and Lizong was not keen on building the garden. It was just because Taishi reported that Taiyi Zhenjun was descending on Liang and became more divided. He asked to use the story of Tiansheng to build a new palace in the southwest of the country city to follow the direction. So he chose the Bajiao Town to build a palace and Feng'an, and then analyzed the Yanxiang Temple as the palace.
The Western Taiyi Palace and the Four Saints Yanxiang Temple were built together, becoming the main building complex of Gushan. When Emperor Gaozong built the Four Saints Yanxiang Temple, the temples and tombs in the Gushan area were moved to other places, leaving only Lin Hejing's tombs and did not move away, leaving behind a scene in Hangzhou where Gushan enjoys plum blossoms. During the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi called Gushan Penglai Palace in the middle of the water, so the Imperial Garden had the artistic conception of a fairyland on the lake. It can be seen that this land has excellent feng shui and is also the best view of Lin'an Royal Palace, and is not inferior to other tourist-seeing imperial gardens.
The Empress Dowager chose Zhao Bing as a resting place. First, the construction time here was not very long, and the main buildings were still intact and did not require major renovations; second, the scenery was good, and it was able to cultivate the mind and nature, kill him and fight him continuously to fight against the evil spirits. Third, it was not far from the city, which was convenient for each other. In addition, it was a reason that could not be told.
Getting up early in the morning has become Zhao Bing's habit of living, and of course there are exceptions. He ran around Gushan for a few laps, and of course there was a bunch of guards behind him. Although the summer in Jiangnan was already in summer, it was cooler than Qiongzhou, but after ten miles of running, there was no room for his body. Looking at the West Lake water, which was many times clearer than before, he had the urge to jump in.
"Your Majesty, don't be too lazy!" Chen Dun looked at the little emperor with his eyes curled up at the lake, and hurriedly blocked him and said.
"What are you talking nonsense? I just want to take a shower in West Lake, it's cool!" Zhao Bing pulled him aside and said.
"Your Majesty must not be. Isn't it embarrassing to be caught by people around me?" Chen Dun quickly blocked the little emperor and pointed to the fishing boats passing by the sea.
"Haha, I suddenly want to go back to Qiongzhou, where are you?" Zhao Bing laughed dryly at the fishing boats on the lake and the cruise ships that were entertaining guests. The clear water here is no match for the vast sea. How can the isolated island in the lake be compared with Qiongzhou? He felt an inexplicably depressed feeling.
"How could Your Majesty have such thoughts? But wherever Your Majesty goes, I will follow you!" Chen Dun said in a daze when he saw the little emperor, and was a little confused.
"I think Lin'an City is too small, not as small as Qiongzhou, and it is surrounded by turbulent seas. Compared with this calm lake, people have more passion!" Zhao Bing pointed to West Lake and said.
"Your Majesty wants to learn from Lin Hemei's wife and son to live on this lonely mountain!" Chen Dun was shocked when he heard this. He has been in a depressed mood since the young emperor moved to Yanxiangyuan under the order. He said this again today, which made him feel a little bad.
"Chen Dun, do you know what I thought about on the epidemic ship?" Zhao Bing asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I was not on the ship at that time, how could I know? I just heard that His Majesty was determined to cure everyone's illness at that time and searched for the fleet all the way!"
"That's what others said. At that time, the sea was vast and only three of us were floating on the sea. We might even encounter the Mongol warships at any time. I thought that if I couldn't find Xingchao, I would take these people to be pirates, rob enough money and then go overseas to find a peaceful place to rebuild a paradise!" Zhao Bing said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, is there a paradise overseas?" Chen Dun said curiously.
"Of course, the world is not something you can imagine. In the end, it is difficult for us to travel all our lives. The Mongolian Yuan Dynasty is known as the largest country, but it is just a corner of this world. Even if I am the emperor, I am just a speck of dust in the world." Zhao Bing looked at the faraway dialect and said.
"Your Majesty, this world is really that big?" Chen Dun said with a little yearning.
"At our feet, that is, to the east, there are South America, North America, and Oceania, where there are gold and jewelry everywhere; in our west there is Africa, where animals and trees you have never seen live, with black skin in people; and in the extreme Antarctic, it is covered with ice and snow all year round, with only day in summer and dark in winter, but there are beautiful aurora!" Zhao Bing smiled.
"Your Majesty, is the world so big?" Chen Dun said excitedly, "In the past, we always said that our Song Dynasty is a great country and the center of the world. But what Your Majesty said is still a corner of the world. I am willing to follow His Majesty to travel all over the world!"
"Haha, I love to hear these words. The vast world is beyond our imagination. Under the vast sky we live in, the universe is still like a grain of sand in the sea. No one knows where its end is!" Zhao Bing said with a wry smile.
"Your Majesty, don't you know the gods in the sky that?" Chen Dun only said that His Majesty was the emperor, so he knew so much, and still asked naively.
"God?! There are no gods and monsters in the world. We can only explore and conquer ourselves." Zhao Bing snorted coldly.
"Ah? Are the Taoist temples worshipped all gods!" Chen Dun thought for a while and pointed to the magnificent building on the mountain.
"If they really exist, why can't they hear the prayers of the people, which have caused Jiangnan to suffer slaughter and the villains in the world have caused trouble. These are just things that make people numb and find a spiritual sustenance. In fact, they are just a few clay fetuses!" Zhao Bing said disdainfully.
"..." Chen Dun was a little confused. The little emperor's words completely overturned his previous inherent concepts and could not make a turn for the time being.
"Don't think about it, these things are not something you can't figure out for a while, so let's cool off first!"
"Plop!"
"Your Majesty..." Chen Dun was stunned. The little emperor had already jumped into the lake. He shouted and jumped down...
In the end, Zhao Bing was still unable to match four hands with his fists. He was soon taken up from the West Lake by everyone and sent back to the hall. However, after such trouble, he seemed to be less humid. However, after a sudden break, he was still a little uncomfortable. The memorials that he had never finished in the past were now available, but now he only had a few newspapers to relieve his boredom. Moreover, due to the haste, his "studio" did not have time to bring it out. He knew that there were many things to continue to deal with, but he was unwilling to think about it, as if his energy had been taken away. After breakfast, he found a pavilion and lay lazily there, as if he was sleeping but not sleeping.
"Your Majesty, news has come from the city!" Wang De saw His Majesty's appearance and knew that he was not asleep, so he came over and said softly.
"What news?" Zhao Bing opened his eyes, picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.
"The official family, the Empress Dowager, presided over the collective discussion yesterday, and issued an imperial edict to remove Yao Liangchen and Wei Tianzhong from the position of Shangshu and sent him to the three departments for the crimes. Both of them have been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. In addition, the Ministry of Justice ordered the Ministry of Justice to strictly examine the assassination case of Chen Yizhong and wanted to arrest his accomplice." Wang De reported.
"Oh, what is the Queen Mother trying to do?" Zhao Bing straightened up and said in surprise. He had been an emperor for such a long time. It can be said that there were eyeliners on the upper and lower parts of the palace, and the affairs bureau walking in the gray area were in control. If there was a turmoil in the court and the government, he would soon get news.
"Isn't it a good thing for the Empress Dowager to remove two great evils for the official family?" Wang De took the cup from the little emperor's hand and said with a smile.
"Is there anything else?" Zhao Bing nodded slightly, as if he understood the meaning of the Empress Dowager's "drive" him out of the city.
"I heard that Chen Yizhong wrote several letters of regret to the Empress Dowager one after another. I hope that the Empress Dowager would forgive her crimes for her support. There is another good thing..." Wang De said with a smile.
"Looking at how you are smiling, it must be nothing good!" Zhao Bing pushed away his face and said.
"The official family is a great thing." Wang De still smiled and leaned into the ear of the young emperor and said, "Dou Xing sent someone to send a message that the Empress Dowager summoned Prime Minister Lu the day before yesterday. It should be the governor, Governor Liu and Shangshu Xu, who are going to choose the queen for the official family."
"Please choose?" Zhao Bing was shocked again after hearing this and said in surprise. After a few days of returning, the empress dowager did things that surprised him one after another.
"Yes, the Empress Dowager asked them to choose the right age woman among the ministers in the court. Isn't this a good thing?" Wang De hurriedly supported the little emperor and said.
"What the hell is the Queen Mother doing?" Zhao Bing leaned back and leaned against the couch, waved his hand and made everyone retreat and murmured.
Zhao Bing was not interested in a big marriage. He was only fourteen years old this year. He was still in junior high school at his previous life. He was still a child and had to be criticized when he was in love, let alone get married. Even if he got married, he would be considered a child marriage and would be punished. But now his marriage has been put on the agenda and a special team has been set up to manage it. But he can find something for himself that he can do.
In the feudal era, the so-called "choosing a mother for the world" was the most solemn marriage. Of course, the court had to strictly evaluate the family background of the concubines in advance. The standards for choosing queens in previous dynasties were different, but Zhao Bing knew that the marriage of the royal family in the Song Dynasty was still known. Emperors of the Song Dynasty had a tendency to value virtue and neglect sex. They began to advocate virtuous women and advocate solemn beauty. Most of the concubines were selected from high-ranking and noble families, and they had to follow ethics, be gentle, obedient, and harsh. This is why there were few concubines favored because of their beauty in the harem of the Song Dynasty, so it depends on luck to find a beautiful wife.
Later generations often said that marriages in the Song Dynasty did not ask about family members, but in fact everything was relative. To be honest, there were countless powerful people in the Song Dynasty, but Zhao Bing knew that there were not necessarily those called family members at this time. According to the traditional system, a high-ranking bureaucratic family was not the first family member. The so-called family members, also known as the four surnames, include several levels such as the rich, the rich, the surname A, the surname B, the surname B, the surname Ding, etc.
Anyone with three kings in the three generations said: "Good and graves." The servant said: "Huawu; the Shangshu, the leader, and the guards are the surname Jia; the nine ministers, such as Fang Bo, are the surname Yi; the scattered cavalry and the servants are the surname B; the official of the Ministry of Personnel is the surname Ding. Anyone who can enter is called the four surnames. It is very clear that one of the keys to determine whether a family belongs to a clan or not is whether it is a high-ranking official for three generations.
According to this standard, among the twelve concubines from high-ranking bureaucratic families in the Song Dynasty, namely the so-called "daughters of ministers and officials", they were rich and generous. No one with the surname A was considered to be the surname B. Their fathers and ancestors were roughly the following two types of people:
One type is heroes in troubled times. Almost all of them were born in troubled times and made wealth by fighting. Their original origins are insignificant, but they are just rough people. In terms of the three generations, the rare family with great popularity in the Song Dynasty was not considered the top family, only enough for the "Y surname"; the other type is common ministers, who mostly relied on imperial examinations to become officials until they were at the top. As the saying goes, wealth is only three, and it is also applicable here. Among the three generations, there are children and grandchildren who can become prime ministers. Zhao Bing felt that it could be more than zero points and zero points larger than zero.
