Chapter 83

It was also called 49 cities before going to Beijing.

What is forty-nine cities?

In ancient times, the upper capital was divided into outer city, inner city, imperial city and the Forbidden City according to the city walls.

The so-called 49 cities actually refer to the four gates of the imperial city and the nine gates of the inner city.

The imperial city has four gates, Tiananmen, Di'anmen, dong'anmen and Xi'an.

There are nine gates in the inner city, including Dongzhi gate, Xizhi gate, Chaoyang Gate, Fucheng gate, Chongwen gate, Xuanwu Gate, Desheng Gate, Anding gate and Qianmen gate.

These city gates are very famous. Even those who have not been to Beijing may have heard such a name from newspapers and television.

When some old Shangjing people are bragging, they will tell others with a Beijing film that their ancestors lived in 49 cities!

That's because in the Qing Dynasty, the emperor lived in the Forbidden City, the imperial relatives lived in the Imperial City, but the civilians and Han people could only live in the outer city.

When he said this, he actually wanted to express that his ancestors were relatives of the emperor.

As for whether it is true or not, only God knows.

Taizu once said: the small demon in the temple is windy, the pool is shallow, and there are many kings.

But that was decades ago. Now the Shangjing pool is not shallow. It's not too much to say that it is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

Just like a joke, if you throw a brick on the street, you may hit several officials

After all, this is not only the capital, but also a famous historical city with a history of thousands of years.

The magnificent history has been swept away by the wind and rain, and the world has changed, but shangjingxiong city still stands here.

This is the origin of its unique charm.

……

At 8:30 p.m., it was neither early nor late, and the little guy had just slept, so Chen Xi sat in the yard with her for a while, and she shouted to go out to see Tiananmen Square.

This is outside the Fourth Ring Road. It takes more than an hour to take the subway from the summer palace to Tiananmen Square. Even if there is no traffic jam at night, it will take more than 40 minutes.

So Chen Xi wisely refused her request.

The little guy quit and kept shouting that he wanted to play, so he almost rolled around.

She just woke up, and then she was full. Of course, she was very energetic.

Seeing this, Chen Xi had no choice but to promise to take her to the summer palace.

The summer palace will be quiet at eight o'clock and tourists are not allowed in.

However, Chen Xi did not intend to enter through the front door.

He took the little guy around outside the summer palace and turned to a more remote path.

Then, Chen Xi looked around and confirmed that there were no cameras around.

He held the little guy and stepped on it gently. The whole person immediately flew over the wall like a light bird.

While Chen Xi was flying, the little guy widened her eyes and stared at the closer and closer treetops.

Behind the wall is the lake embankment, where there is a towering tree.

Chen Xi held the little guy and gently fell to the ground.

At this time, the little guy finally seemed to have recovered.

With a wave of her hands, she immediately opened her mouth and shouted, "Baba, we're flying! Fly! "

The child's cry was so sharp that it cut through the calm night sky and uploaded it to the bright Kunming Lake.

Chen Xi quickly put her index finger on her mouth and said, "Shh! Dad didn't buy a ticket. If someone finds out, we'll be kicked out! "

Hearing the speech, the little guy immediately covered his mouth with his hands, revealing a pair of smart eyes.

This was the first time Chen Xi showed her ability in front of the little guy, but the little guy's reaction was not as big as he thought.

Children's imagination is very rich.

So many children will fantasize that their father is superman.

So when Chen Xi showed her hand and showed her inhuman side, the little guy was not surprised, but very excited!

She covered her mouth with her hand, and there was a constant 'sobbing' sound in her mouth.

Looking at her like this, she seemed to want to say something, but she was afraid of being driven out, so she had to tightly cover her mouth and dare not say anything.

When Chen Xi saw her excited appearance, she suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. After laying a sound insulation ban, she smiled and said, "what do you want to say? Now you can say it. "

"Baba is so powerful!"

With that, the little guy kissed Chen Xi heavily on the face, then pointed to an island in Kunming Lake and shouted, "Baba! I'm going there! Take me! "

"OK, let's go."

……

Where Yanshan is the most beautiful, unparalleled wind and moon belongs to Kunming.

……

Kunming Lake, formerly called wengshanpo, is a natural lake gathered by many springs in the northwest suburb of Shangjing.

In the reign of Emperor Qianlong, Qianlong ordered the construction of Qingyi Garden next to Weng Mountain Park, which opened up the lake and formed its current scale.

The name of Kunming Lake comes from the story that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dug the Kunming Lake in Chang'an and practiced water warfare. In 1860, Qingyi Garden was burned down by the British and French allied forces. In 1888, Cixi ordered the reconstruction and renamed the summer palace. Unfortunately, in 1900, the summer palace was destroyed by the Eight Power Allied forces. It was really ill fated. The area of Kunming Lake accounts for about three-quarters of the total area of the summer palace. Chen Xi has seen the map before coming, so he is very clear where he is now. There are three small islands in the summer palace. Chen Xi is near zhijingge island now. The place the little guy wants to go is zhijingge. Most of the scenic spots of the summer palace are concentrated in Wanshou mountain in the north. From a distance, you can see a brightly lit scene over there. Zhijing pavilion was originally built to prevent villagers from entering the watchtower. However, during the Guangxu period, due to lack of financial resources to repair the Zhijing Pavilion destroyed by heavy artillery by the British and French coalition forces, the remaining materials here were dismantled for other purposes. Since then, zhijingge has become a desert island in the water, which has not been repaired. The recent weather conditions in Beijing are good, coupled with the Mid Autumn Festival, so the moon has appeared for several nights in a row. Chen Xi came to the lake with the little guy in her arms and scraped her nose with her hand. Then she smiled and asked, "Dad, will you do a trick for you?"“ OK! I want to see a trick! " Hearing the speech, Chen Xi nodded, ready to tease her by magic. But then, Chen Xi seemed to think of something. She quickly said to the little guy seriously, "this is a trick. If you want to learn, Dad can teach you later. But before you learn it, you can't do it like me. It's dangerous, you know? " Hearing the speech, the little guy immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice and agreed“ Yes, I don't steal learning! Baba, teach me before I learn! "“ That's good. " Chen Xi gently touched the little guy's head. Then, he slowly stepped on the water in the little guy's slightly cute eyes. Can people walk on the water? What happened at present is obviously beyond the little guy's understanding. So, she immediately opened her mouth and made a voice: "Baba..." but just shouted, the little guy reacted, and then quickly covered his mouth with his hand, so dull, let Chen Xi take her slowly to the island. It was not until Chen Xi walked out of a distance that the little guy seemed to have finally recovered. She didn't feel afraid. Instead, she leaned her chin against Chen Xi's shoulder and looked at Chen Xi's heel. Every step Chen Xi took, the lake would gently swing a circle of light ripples. The night wind blew by the Kunming Lake, and the moonlight was shining on the lake. Chen Xi holds the little guy... Walking on the water, growing lotus step by step!
