Moreover, Su Jiu knew that there was another very important reason for the Forbidden City, a reason that was rumored in the feng shui world.It is rumored in the feng shui world that since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, there was a massacre that year, and it can be said that the resentment of the people in the world was a lifetime.However, the grievances of the sky, the symptoms generated, so that the Manchu shamans, simply could not deal with it, and later a feng shui master offered a suggestion to let the emperor of the Qing Dynasty take the road of the Son of Heaven, absorb the luck of the Son of Heaven, and suppress the resentment of the people in the world in the place where the dragon veins of the capital converge.It is rumored that the great feng shui master and the Manchu shaman who shot together set up a shocking array in the Forbidden City, suppressing the resentment of the people in the world and using the dragon vein.This also gave rise to the prosperous dynasty in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.And the resentment of the people in the world is like this, and it has been suppressed under the gathering place of the dragon veins under the Forbidden City.For this information, Su Jiu didn't know whether it was true or false, in some of the Su family's classics, what he saw.This rumor is also widely spread in the feng shui world, as long as the feng shui master has a little inheritance, he knows this rumor.Whether it's true or not, basically, the feng shui master doesn't move the Forbidden City, and he doesn't go to the Forbidden City, and for most of the reason, that's it.Later, coupled with hundreds of years of grievances, in the era of New China, the retreat of the feng shui world was even more so.Su Jiu pulled Fang Yuwen and walked in the stone path of the Forbidden City.The high walls on both sides are more than ten meters high.This is the Deep Palace Compound.The two walked unhurriedly.The passage of the Forbidden City echoed with the footsteps of the two.One by one, in this dark night, in the quiet Forbidden City.It makes people feel a little panicked when they hear it.The dark clouds in the sky were moving slowly.Moonlight, sprinkled down.For this strange and quiet Forbidden City, a silvery white color was sprinkled, which seemed a bleak beauty."
Ah" As he walked, Fang Yuwen suddenly screamed, and the scream pierced the bleak beauty of the Forbidden City."
Little ninety-nine.That, that, that there is a ghost" Fang Yuwen grabbed Su Jiu's arm tightly with both hands, and the whole person looked at Su Jiu in horror and pointed ahead.Said.Su Jiu was also taken aback by Fang Yuwen's sudden scream, and followed the direction that Fang Yuwen was pointing.At the bend of the palace passage in front, a line of palace maids lined up.Lighting lanterns.Slowly, walked in front of the two.The light of the lantern is a little dim, especially in the silver-white moonlight, which makes people look a little numb at first glance, and it seems to be mixed with some gloomy.The speed of this team of palace maids was not slow, and soon, they disappeared from the sight of Su Jiu and Fang Yuwen."
Don't be afraid, it's okay, I'm here.Xiaoyu "Su Jiu also saw this scene, but Su Jiu didn't make any moves.just hugged Fang Yuwen, who was holding his arm tightly, and opened his mouth to comfort him.The appearance of such a scene had long been expected by Su Jiu, at this time, it was late at night, and the moonlight appeared, and it could be said that the gloomy atmosphere in the Forbidden City began to thicken.During the day, the yin and evil spirit of the Forbidden City, because tourists from all over China carry yang energy, and suppress the evil spirit of the Forbidden City.However, at night, it is impossible, so in the Forbidden City, there are strange phenomena, dirty things appear, which is very normal.After being appeased for a long time, Fang Yuwen settled down.Although Fang Yuwen is a feng shui family, she is not a feng shui master, and she is also a girl.So, it's normal to be afraid of these things."
Okay, Xiaoyu, let's go, we can go out in front."
Su Jiu said comfortingly.Remembering the pattern of the Forbidden City is basically a necessary lesson for every feng shui master to become a feng shui master before leaving the school.Because the pattern of the Forbidden City is itself a huge feng shui bureau.Every feng shui bureau blessed by the emperors of the past dynasties, every feng shui aura, hundreds of years of accumulation, with the help of the qi of the Son of Heaven and the qi of the dragon vein, fused together, is itself a typical textbook, feng shui knowledge textbook.Therefore, Su Jiu naturally knew the layout of the Forbidden City.With Fang Yuwen, he quickened his pace, followed the passage of the Forbidden City, tossed and turned several times, and came to a tall wall.This tall wall is the most marginal wall of the Forbidden City, and Su Jiu knows in his heart that the base of this wall is as high as nine meters five, and with the eaves of the wall, it is more than ten meters high.Regarding the height of this wall, in fact, the feng shui pattern is strictly observed.The base of the wall is nine meters five, which means the respect of the ninety-five, the original height of the wall is so high, and the eaves of the wall are added later.Why is it added, there is another allusion in this.It is rumored that Zhu Di planned to set the total number of rooms in the palace at 10,000, but on the fifth night after he passed on the holy decree, he suddenly had a dream that the Jade Emperor summoned him to the Lingxiao Hall of the Heavenly Palace.I saw that the Jade Emperor was full of anger, and Emperor Yongle didn't know what was going on.Later, when I asked, I learned that it was because the number of palaces in the Forbidden City that he wanted to build exceeded the number of 10,000 in his Heavenly Palace.So he said: "The Jade Emperor is angry, the ministers are offended, how can the number of palaces in my mortal world exceed that of your heavenly palace" The Jade Emperor heard him say this, with a smile on his face, and said: "That's right, I will give you a piece of heavenly stone, to town the palace, and you will ask seventy-two earthly demons and one hundred beasts to protect your mortal imperial city, so that the wind and rain can be smooth, and you can remember the peace of the country and the people" Zhu Di hurriedly thanked him, and when he raised his head and looked at the Jade Emperor again, there was no trace, it turned out to be a dream.After Emperor Yongle woke up, he hurriedly sent a decree to summon Liu Bowen into the palace and told him what he dreamed about from beginning to end.Liu Bowen was also stunned when he heard this: "The Jade Emperor can't be provoked, so let's obey him, his heavenly palace is 10,000 rooms, let's build it 9,999 and a half."
not only does not lose the face of his Jade Emperor, but also does not lose the royal grandeur and the dignity of the Son of Heaven" in less than four years.The Forbidden City was completed, and Liu Bowen asked Emperor Yongle to inspect it himself.After walking around the palace for most of the day, I was very happy.This Forbidden City is built not to mention how magnificent it is.The carved beams and painted buildings, the golden splendor, the noon gate is tall and majestic, the Fengtian Hall is spacious and magnificent, compared with the Jade Emperor's Lingxiao Palace, it is really not much worse.Suddenly, Zhu Di remembered the "Heavenly Stone" given by the Jade Emperor and the seventy-two earth demons and one hundred beasts to be invited, so he asked Liu Bowen where they were placed."
Hooray, don't be busy.I will take you through them one by one. ”Liu Bowen said and took him to the royal road behind the Huagai Palace, pointed to a huge rectangular stone sculpture and said: "This is the heavenly stone of the town palace courtyard given by the Jade Emperor, called the Yunlong Step Stone."
There are nine dragons, leaping between the flowing clouds, it is the largest stone sculpture in this palace, there are tens of thousands of catties of weight" "good" and then Emperor Yongle asked."
The seventy-two hells," "You won't be able to see that."
The minister sent them to the seventy-two ditches below this palace, in case the little devils underground made trouble and spoiled the feng shui in this palace" "Good delivery" "Look at the glazed ornaments on the vertical ridge of the palace, they are dragons, phoenixes, lions, heavenly horses, fish, bullfights, pigs, and foxes.There are those who fly in the sky, those who run on the earth, and those who swim in the waters.There are those who pray for rain, and there are those who ward off evil spirits. ”"Needless to say, this is what Liu Aiqing has done, everything has been done by the Jade Emperor, I want to reward you" Zhu Di finally asked: "Is the palace in this palace nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine and a half", "exactly", "where is that half", "in a side room in the west of the back court." ”"Let's take a good look at what the Jade Emperor has to say."
That Liu Bowen said nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine and a half.I was trembling in my heart, but in fact, the number of palaces in this palace was not really nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine and a half.It turned out that when he went to various places to buy wood and stone.Seeing that the lives of the common people were getting more and more miserable, but the emperor was building a lot of buildings, and how much silver would be spent, so he deliberately changed the design drawings, so that hundreds of rooms were built less, and more than 8,000 rooms were actually built.He thought, this Forbidden City is bigger, how many halls are there, who can count them, I say how many are as many.So he reported to Zhu Di nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine and a half, and Emperor Yongle believed it and rewarded him with a lot of gold and silver.Since then, the saying that "there are 9,999 and a half houses in the Forbidden City" has spread, but the actual number is not exact, just a legend.At present, the total number of rooms in the Forbidden City, the palace, the hall, the building, the Zhai, the Xuan, and the pavilion is 8,707 rooms, and where is the legendary half room?
Just to the west of the attic, there is a unique feature, it is different from ordinary pavilions, the two pillars are not more than a zhang apart, but only about five feet between the two green pillars, and half of the Forbidden City is here.The rumor story did not end here, one day, on a whim, the emperor sent someone to count the rooms in this palace, and it turned out that something happened to this number.That's right, the results of the count were not as many as Liu Bowen said at the beginning, and after the emperor heard about it, he sent the number of people three times in a row.Not so much.At this time, the emperor was furious.Everyone knows that deceiving the emperor is a crime of deceiving the king, and the nine clans must be destroyed.However, as a national teacher at that time, Liu Bowen's status was not comparable to that of ordinary ministers and eunuchs.The emperor also knew that he couldn't do anything like the national teacher.Calm down in my heart, and when I thought about it, I went to test exactly what the national teacher thought.Before meeting the national teacher, the emperor's personal eunuch naturally told the national teacher about the emperor's anger.When Liu Bowen saw the emperor, he had already made a decision in his heart.After some narration, it was true that there were not so many buildings back then, but these materials were built on the wall, and the respect of the Ninety-Five was said.Seeing that the emperor heard his explanation, he still seemed to care that he had deceived him in the first place.Liu Bowen's heart moved, and he said another way.The king is less than ten, and the Jade Emperor in the heavenly court has only nine or five walls, so we can increase the height of the wall and break the number of ten, so that it will be stronger than the Jade Emperor in the sky.When the emperor heard Liu Bowen say this, he immediately agreed.The feng shui bureau in the palace has been set up, and it is not easy to change the pattern and build a house.What's more, there are so many houses, so this is the only way to go.Since then, the walls of the Forbidden City have changed from nine to five to ten.Su Cong took Fang Yuwen and stood under the wall, looking up at the wall that was more than ten meters high.S: There are allusions, so let's just make a big chapter:
