Chapter 626: Shocked by the Orchid Pavilion Preface


Jiankang has two dynasties here as the capital so far, the first dynasty is Sun Wu, the second dynasty is the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and then there are Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and then the Southern Tang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Ming Dynasty during the Zhu Yuanzhang period, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and finally the Party State.

If you count it carefully, Jiankang South 1 Beijing is the ancient capital of the Ten Dynasties, among which there are some very short-lived dynasties, or it should be said that the dynasty with Jiankang as the capital is not long-lived, and the longest is one hundred and three years of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty moved the capital, so it only served as the capital for one generation Nowadays, the south of the Yangtze River is also Jingzhou and Yangzhou are considered to have been developed, of which the development history of Jingzhou is relatively early, Yangzhou is "clothed and crowned to the south" before it has been greatly developed, the rest of the states and counties have not undergone much development, and Jiaozhi, Ningzhou, Guangzhou 1 state is the most wild, but Jiangzhou has been developed in the Eastern Wu period and the Eastern Jin Dynasty small court period.

Jiankang once had a population of nearly two million, and if you want to accommodate so many people, you naturally need to occupy a wide area, and the city wall of the entire city does not have a strict boxy, and the city wall is actually an irregular line.

In addition to the rammed earth city wall, Jiankang also has an oval-shaped fence wall around the city, in addition to many natural waterways and artificially excavated long lifts. will be built into such a multi-barrier defense belt, mainly because the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty chose to build a city here, which is not far from Hu Lu's territory, or is it afraid that Hu Lu will really cross the Yangtze River and come to the city.

If the defenders of Jiankang are determined enough to resist by virtue of the terrain, it will be difficult for any invading enemy army to advance in great strides, and then Jiankang has a population of nearly two million, how can it really mobilize hundreds of thousands of people to help defend the city, and it will definitely cost a lot to conquer Jiankang.

The Han army went south to attack Jiankang and only lost less than 10,000 people, which was because the Sima family as a puppet did not play, and the family was not of one heart, which led to Jiankang being easily captured by the Han army.

At this moment, Liu Yan was in the stone town west of Jiankang, and he was standing on the edge of the female wall and watching the surging river.

The Yangtze River is really long, the source is on the plateau, the length of the entire waterway is more than 12,000 li, rushing east to the East China Sea.

However, not the entire Yangtze River can now be used as a transportation waterway, on the contrary, many sections of the river are not navigable at all.

Most of the sections of the Yangtze River in Jingzhou, Yuzhou and Yangzhou can be navigated, standing in Stone Town and looking at the Yangtze River, the boats on the river are shuttling back and forth, showing a busy scene.

Stone Town is just a place name, not really a city.

The terrain here is very complicated, with only a small fortress built on top of the largest mountain, and there are not many buildings in the rest of the country, and there are no acres of land.

In ancient times, it was very particular to go to the place name, there should be a place name related to the mountain where there should be many mountains, and the place with what soil quality would also have corresponding characteristics, Stone Town is a place full of strange stones, and how to reclaim farmland After the fall of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the strategic position of the Jiangdu on the side of Xuzhou plummeted, only to retain it as a fleet docking base, the largest military port of the Yangtze River waterway was changed to Jiankang, standing in the stone city and looking down, you can see the military port on the side of Xizhou City, where many warships are docked, and it looks like a row after row.

Xizhou City can be regarded as one of the cities in Jiankang, and there are quite a few similar urban districts, each with its own rammed earth walls.

There is a tributary of the Yangtze River running through Jiankang, and Wuyi Lane, which runs along the Huai River, was once the residential area of the Wang and Xie families, and from Stone Town, you can still see that it is full of mansions.

"Your Majesty."

Xun Xian stood five steps behind Liu Yan and bowed slightly: "Donglin Garden is ready, and most of the scholars have arrived. ” The wind blowing from the Yangtze River is a little strong, because it comes from the direction of the river, the wind is cool, and the cloak on Liu Yan's body is also dancing wildly with the wind.

The Xun clan is a big clan in the south, and the history of their clan is still very long, but it is necessary to count it from the ancient Yellow Emperor period, and the Spring and Autumn Period is used as a country name, and Qin gradually evolved into a surname after sweeping the Eight Desolations and Liuhe.

The surnames of China are not simple, they usually have their history worth telling, and they are also a history of national development, but some surnames are given by the emperor, and some are the names of a certain family that occupies a certain piece of land.

Due to the customs of the pre-Qin period in ancient times, for example, where the fief of a certain family is, that land becomes the surname of the family, and the surname changes after changing the fief, so the surname of a family is not fixed.

Xun Xian's family has produced quite a lot of celebrities, especially in the period of the Three Kingdoms, when the Xun family and the Chen family in Yuzhou actually had the same ancestor, and the other one with the same ancestor was the Sima family, so many families with different names were the same ancestor, in fact, it was the reason for the change of fiefdom in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Among them, the Yingchuan Chen family is described as the Tian family, which is the Tian family who did "big buckets out and small buckets in" to buy the entire country.

The contemporary Xun family is not a gate-level family, and the strong heritage supports a first-class family, but the family does not have so many capable people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Liu Yan has decided to release Xun Xian, after this southern tour, Xun Xian will go to Jiangxia to be a county magistrate, and Xun Xian's history as the king's personal secretary has entered the countdown.

With the "change of dynasty" carried out, and because the Lu family invested in the right object as soon as possible, Lu Yi's family became the first family in Jiangxia, Liu Yan arranged Xun Xian to go to Jiangxia, in fact, there was also the meaning of letting the Lu family help more.

To put it bluntly, the personal secretary Lang is actually doing the work of a modern secretary, and many leaders of the Celestial Empire have delegated their secretaries, whether it is for the reasons of the lineage or the faction, they will take care of it as much as possible, and it is the tentacle of their own power, and it is also a kind of "branching out".

Xun Xian has been Liu Yan's personal secretary for so long, he can be regarded as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and the killing in the south is so serious, there are definitely people who will find trouble with Xun Xian.

And because of Xun Xian's previous resume, it is not his own face that is disgraced.

Donglin Garden is in the palace city of Jiankang, after the fall of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the palace city of Jiankang is no longer called the palace city, and the specification is one of Liu Yan's many palaces.

Liu Yan does not have many palaces, one in Linzi, one in Yecheng, and one in Xiangguo, anyway, there is no determination of where the capital is, and there is no regular palace.

After his southern tour, he went to Xiangguo, and he would not stay in Xiangguo for too long, and he would go to Guanzhong in the autumn, and he needed to see the location of the capital.

Many people think that there are only two capitals of the Han Dynasty, that is, Chang'an, Shaanxi, 1 Xi, 1 Province, 1 Xi, 1 An, 1 City, and Luoyang, Jinhe, 1 South, 1 Province, 1 Luo, 1 Yang, 1 City, in fact, there is another one City, Luoyang Jinhe, 1 South, 1 Province, 1 Luo, 1 Yang, 1 City.

The former Zhao both the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty set the capital of Chang'an, which was in the original old city, and after the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Yang Jian Dynasty Zhou, established the Daxing capital city was not at the site of the Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty, the location of the Daxing City was closer to the Qinling Mountains, and it was actually moved to Li Tang.

Now that Chang'an City in Guanzhong is extremely dilapidated, Liu Yan didn't want to repair the old city, what he wanted was to build a new capital from scratch, and he must have gone over to check the geographical location in person.

"Let's go down."

Liu Yan said and turned around and walked.

The passage inside the fortress in Stone Town is very narrow, and there are torches on both sides of the walls in the shadows, and the air smells of grease.

Passing through the narrow passageway, there is an indoor hall.

This is the place where the soldiers were gathered in the fortress, and there were many shelves on which to store weapons on all sides, but now there are many food packets piled up.

The hall has passages in all directions, and the door leading out of the fortress is the largest.

Exiting the gate is an open-air plaza, but the plaza is only the size of a modern basketball court, and there is a steep downhill staircase through the plaza.

When you walk up the stairs, you will see an endless fence wall, and below it is a place called Ishitsu, where you can see stones of different shapes, and you will reach the west gate of the fence wall through this place.

There is a distance between the West Fence Gate and the palace city, but there is a wilderness in the middle, there are two city gates to enter this one, Liu Yan chose the Ximing Gate.

When the outer city wall of Jiankang was built, there was no moat, and there was no moat on the oval fence wall, but the palace city with a boxy wall dug a moat, and the river water was drawn from Huaishui, which is actually a tributary of the Yangtze River.

Liu Yan approached Ximingmen and heard a commotion, and when he asked, he knew what water and land law was being done in Xizhou City, not far away.

"The monk who presided over the water and land rituals was Shi Dao'an, who was originally a scholar who was proficient in Confucianism, and later went to the Central Plains to apprentice to Buddha Tucheng."

Xun Xian, the secretary, has a lot of things to understand, at least the king needs to be able to answer the questions, which shows that the secretary is not so easy to do.

He hesitated for a moment before continuing: "In recent days, Jiankang has gathered quite a lot of people in Shamen, and the water and land mages are funded by Shamen himself, and it is said that he is a soldier who has surpassed the battle of Jiankang, but there is no Jin army. ” Liu Yan understood, Shamen specially killed the soldiers of the Han army in the battle with water and land magic, and it must have been to attract his own attention.

The problem is that the Han government has its own way of dealing with the fallen soldiers, and the soldiers who died in battle will first be transported to the Martyrs' Garden in Changguang County, and the Taoist priests there will hold religious ceremonies before being buried.

"Who agrees with them to hold water and land ceremonies" Liu Yan got the answer, frowned and said: "Isn't Sang Yu too idle?"

It was about the imperial envoy doctor, one of the three princes of the dynasty, Xun Xian could only pretend not to hear it.

There was no national religion in the Han Kingdom, but Liu Yan was actually more inclined to local Taoism.

And Taoism is actually not called now, anyway, there are many kinds of names, the origin is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty Zhang Daoling in the four 1 Sichuan Heming Mountain founded, at that time it was called five buckets of rice religion.

Today's Taoism does not have a general altar, nor does it spread its beliefs, but it is conveyed to the world in the face of a warlock, which gives the world the impression that a Taoist priest is actually an alchemist.

Entering from Ximing Gate, to go to Miyagi is to take the route of Taicang.

The reason why it is called Taicang, as its name suggests, is a place where grain is stored, and you can see the round granary everywhere, and some old grain will also be moved out and spread on the ground to dry in the sun.

Because Liu Yan doesn't pay attention to Jiankang's Miyagi, he only did a face project before he came over, and the place that should be cleaned is of course cleaned, but he can still see the traces of dilapidation, such as the damage in some places is to block what things first.

The style of Jiangnan is different from that of the north, one of which is that there are many kinds of flowers and plants in the forest garden, and then there are many lakes because there is no shortage of water.

Donglin Garden is a place full of rare and exotic grasses, but it is a pity that rockeries are not popular now, at most they dig ponds to raise some exotic fish.

Didn't Liu Yan recruit famous people in the south, and those who came first stayed in Donglin Garden, especially with the most pavilions and pavilions in each place, either chanting poetry or swaying pen and ink, and the relatively distinctive thing is to eat five stone powder and then do strange behaviors to exude medicinal power.

"This is the so-called Jin Wei demeanor" Xu Zheng stood by the window of an attic and said with a disgusting expression: "Wushisan is not a good thing, and the behavior after eating it is very much like going crazy." ” The medicinal power of eating Wushi Powder is indeed very much like going crazy, stripping fruit run is not a feature, and riding on the trunk of a tree is very embarrassing.

Cai You curiously walked to the window to take a look, and after a burst of "haha" laughter, he said, "Will that guy break his chicken?"

A group of people at the level of the Three Princes and Nine Emperors had been staying in this attic for a long time, in order to observe what the celebrities who were invited would behave.

As for why there are five stone scatters now, it is Sang Yu Yishizi who likes to specially let people prepare.

Everyone probably knows what Sang Yu thinks, it is nothing more than to see the person who takes 1 pill to make a fool of himself, and he is happy to watch a lively scene and does not stop it.

Liu Yan came to the attic lightly, waved his hand at the saluting crowd, and stood at the window where Xu Zheng and Cai You let go, and happened to see the scene of offering tree trunks.

"It's been almost a quarter of an hour."

Cai You finished speaking with a smile before asking: "Can you ask the guards to drive them out of the city?"

Liu Yan knew Wushisan, understood that it was a drug that could make people hallucinate, and did not ask how to prepare Wushisan, and did not respond to Cai You's words.

"Your Majesty, it is true that the literary style in the south is prosperous, but there are many absurd people."

Sang Yu raised his hand and pointed at the scholar who was still attacking the trunk: "I don't know how many people are like this." ” It seems, it seems, it is estimated that there are few literati in the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who did not take drugs, but anyone who can be called a celebrity basically has the habit of taking five stone powder.

Liu Yan remained silent, but turned his gaze to another pavilion, where a large group of people gathered, a middle-aged man was wiping pen and ink, and next to him was Sun Sui helping to hold the paper scroll.

"That person is Wang Xizhi."

Lu Yi explained in detail for Liu Yan: "I heard that it is to repair and write the old things of Shanyin Lanting. ” "Lanting" Liu Yan actually didn't know what Xiu Yu was, and suddenly his eyes widened: "You mean, Wang Xizhi is writing Lanting" Xiuxi, originated from an ancient custom of the Zhou Dynasty, that is, the day of the first day of the third month of the lunar calendar, and the third day of March after the Wei Dynasty, to swim by the water, in order to eliminate the ominous, called "repair".

As for Wang Xizhi's writing of the Lanting, what else can it be besides the Lanting preface:
