Chapter 2092

The imperial garden is located at the north end of the central axis of the Forbidden City. There is Kunning gate in the south, which is connected with the back three palaces. There are Qiongyuan east gate and Qiongyuan west gate on the left and right, which can lead to the East and West six palaces. To the North are the archway gate and shunzhen gate surrounded by Jifu gate, Yanhe gate and Chengguang gate, facing the Shenwu gate in the northernmost part of the Forbidden City.

Inside the garden wall, it is 40 feet wide from east to west and 30 feet deep from north to south. It adopts a central axis symmetrical layout. The middle road is a courtyard dominated by the Qin'an hall with double eaves and gold filled bottles. The layout of the East and West roads is basically symmetrical. On the East Road, there are duxiushan, Yujing Pavilion, lizaotang, Fubi Pavilion, Wanchun Pavilion and jiangxue Pavilion; The buildings on the West Road include yanhuige, weiyuzhai, Chengrui Pavilion, Qianqiu Pavilion, Yangxing Zhai, as well as four shrines, Jingting, Lutai, etc.

The vast majority of these buildings are used for recreation and viewing, or for worshiping gods and worshipping Buddha. Only the glass algae hall has stored the collection of the four Treasury Encyclopedia for the emperor's reference since the reign of Emperor Qianlong.

The buildings here mostly rely on the wall, and only a few pavilions with exquisite shapes stand in the garden, with a wide space. The park is planted with ancient cypress and old locust trees, and lists strange stone and jade seats, Jinlin bronze statues and potted flower stake scenes, adding scene changes and enriching the landscape level. Even on the ground, various pebbles are inlaid into symbolic patterns of happiness, wealth and longevity, which are rich and colorful.

The most famous Duixiu mountain is the place where the emperor and the empress ascend on the Double Ninth Festival. The stone folding is unique, the Dengdao is winding, the Stone Carving Dragon sprays water under it, and the imperial Pavilion is built on it to overlook the surrounding scenery.

At this time, the imperial garden is covered with white snow, with red walls, red tiles and white snow. It seems to travel through time and look like that in those days. It can be described as the depths of the palace. Jade leaves are flying in the distance. The palace walls should smell rustle. The dense snow is as vast as flying flowers. It can not fall into the old dream of the deep palace. It can not break the high wall for a hundred years. It is really an immortal, Jasper, jade, flowers and goose feathers

According to Lin Xi, the imperial garden has three characteristics.

First, the architectural layout is symmetrical but not rigid, stretching but not scattered. With the Qin'an hall as the center, nearly 20 buildings of various types are evenly arranged on both sides. Whether they are built according to the wall or the pavilion, they are exquisite, unique and dense.

Among them, Fubi Pavilion and Chengrui Pavilion, Wanchun Pavilion and Qianqiu pavilion are the most distinctive. The two pairs of pavilions are arranged symmetrically from east to west. Fubi and Chengrui are square pavilions across the pool, stretching out the Baoxia on the south side; Wanchun Pavilion and Qianqiu pavilion are polygonal pavilions with a cross shaped plane, reflecting the concept of a round sky and a round place.

The two pavilions are delicate and beautiful in shape and add a lot of color.

Second, the park is dotted with strange stones and verdant trees. The ancient cypresses and vines are all hundreds of years old, which makes the garden interesting. There are nearly 200 ancient trees in the park, most of which are more than 300 years old. Green pines and cypresses are in various shapes, each leading the coquettish style. In addition, various mountain and stone bonsai are placed, such as a bonsai made of wood fossils in front of jiangxue Pavilion, At first glance, it looks like a section of rotten wood that has been exposed for a long time, but it is sonorous when knocked. It is indeed stone, especially precious.

In addition, in front of the Qin'an hall, there is a "LIANLI cypress" occupying a prominent position. The two trees are located on both sides of the central axis and combined at a height of three feet. It is just above the central axis. It is said that the two trees automatically associate with each other and think about one place with constancy and unyielding. Therefore, they move God and integrate them. People call it "LIANLI tree", which symbolizes pure love, Attracted many infatuated men and women.

Third, the colored stone pavement is simple and unique. The Yonglu in the park is carefully paved with pebbles of different colors to form more than 900 different patterns, including figures, flowers, scenery, drama, allusions, etc. it is interesting to watch along the road.

Because of these three characteristics, the imperial garden is not only a place for emperors and concubines to rest, but also for sacrifice, rest, book collection, reading and other purposes.

After entering the imperial garden, Lin Xi and his entourage took the lead in visiting the Qin'an hall, which has a flat top and surrounded by four ridges. It is located in the north of the center of the imperial garden. The base of the hall is xumizuo made of white marble. The dragon and phoenix patterns on the hope column and barrier board are beautiful carvings of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Qin'an palace, the Taoist Zhenwu emperor is worshipped. Zhenwu emperor is the God of water. Every year, the emperor will come here to worship at the beginning of spring, summer, autumn and winter, praying that the God of water will protect the palace from fire.

"Uncle Qiao, I'm going up there

After visiting the Qin'an palace, Xiao 11, in Tong Yan's arms, pointed to the imperial Pavilion on Duxiu mountain and coquetted to go up.

Lin Xi looked at the height. It was indeed the highest in the garden. It was not easy to climb up. Instead, he turned to Lin Yunxian and asked.

After one day's tour, both Lin Yunxian and WAN Ziying showed fatigue. She smiled and shook her head and said, "go ahead, I'll wait for you here with your aunt wan..."

Wan Ziying echoed, "yes, old sister-in-law, we are old, tired and unable to climb. Unlike their young people, we are in high spirits..."

Without affectation, Lin Xi said to Tong Yan, "Yan Yan, are you going? If not, I'll take one by one..."

Tong Yan's face was horizontal and said, "who said I won't go, one by one, let's go..."

Before the voice fell, she took xiao11 in her arms and walked towards the beautiful mountain along the path paved with flowers and stones. Like her charming character, Lin Xi was unable to cry or laugh, and was unwilling to fall behind.

Seeing Xiao Min standing still, Lin Yunxian wondered, "Xiao Min, why don't you go..."

Xiao Min Li said, "the boss asked me to protect the old lady..."

Lin Yunxian laughed and said, "there are no outsiders here. What protection do you want? You don't care about us. Go and walk around..."

Xiao Min pondered a little, shook his head firmly and said, "I can't understand these

Seeing that Xiao Min is so direct, Lin Yunxian can't force it.

During this period of time, she also knew Xiao min. her character was too lonely and dull. Except for Lin Xi's orders, she basically didn't say a word, just like a sculpture.

But people have feelings, especially their family. They attach great importance to feelings. They never regard themselves as masters, and don't take Xiao Min as a bodyguard. Instead, they treat him equally as Lin Xi's little brother. However, he is too lonely and always feels that he can't really integrate.

Wan Ziying smiled and said, "where did you get the news, little brother? It's rare to be so conscientious..."

Lin Yunxian shook her head and said she didn't know. She only knew that Xiao Min was a bodyguard. As for the origin and how Lin Xi found him, she didn't know at all. She never asked Lin Xi.

In Lin Yunxian's opinion, Lin Xi has long grown up and has his own opinions. He will never interfere unless necessary.

Yujing Pavilion is located in Duixiu mountain, which is in the northeast of Qin'an hall. It is a rockery made of Taihu Lake stones of various shapes. It rises from the ground according to the wall and is more than three feet high. It is called Duixiu mountain because its technology is "Duixiu style".

In front of Duxiu mountain, there are a pair of lion stone seats, each with a carved stone faucet, and the water jet column at the mouth is more than 10 meters high. The scene is very spectacular. The path at the foot of the mountain twists and turns, circling to the top of the mountain. There is a door in the middle of the mountain, and there is a hole in the door. Circling up the stone steps in the hole, you can also reach the top of the mountain. On the top of the mountain, there are four pointed square pavilions, which is the famous scenic Pavilion.

Standing in the imperial Pavilion, you can enjoy the scenery of the Forbidden City. Under the ceiling caisson in the pavilion, there is a throne in the south, and there is a stone table outside the pavilion for rest.

On the east side of Duixiu, there is an ancient cypress, which is called "shade Hou", which is the most famous in the imperial garden.

The tree is eight meters high and one meter around. Although it is not outstanding in appearance and position, it is honored with the name of "shade Hou".

Where did you get the name?

It is said that one year, Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River. The weather was hot and all his entourage were sweating. Only Emperor Qianlong felt comfortable. After returning to the court, Emperor Qianlong visited the garden and came to the tree. A eunuch flattered: "when the emperor went to the South of the Yangtze River, the tree withered. As soon as the emperor came back, the tree flourished again. It seems that the tree went to the south of the Yangtze River with the Emperor..."

Qianlong thought that on the way to the south of the Yangtze River, others were sweating profusely, and he was the only one who was cool. When he heard the eunuch say this, it must be the tree that shaded him secretly. He couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he granted the book "shade Hou". Later, he specially inscribed the line of cypresses, which was engraved on the monument and stood on the west wall of zaotang beside the tree.

Around the "shade Hou", there are many valuable ancient trees, such as Wolong pine and longclaw locust. Although they are old, they are still lush and evergreen all year round, not under the "shade Hou".

Lin Xi followed Tong Yan and walked up the path to the top of Duixiu mountain. Standing in the imperial Pavilion, he looked at the beautiful scenery of the Forbidden City. He was amazed. He only felt that "the bead curtain passed the pink wall, lighter than catkins, heavier than frost", and that "smoke, snow and snow piled on the plum blossom branches". It was really beautiful, relaxed and happy, It's like a medicine bath that integrates heaven and earth.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that there was a seed in his body, which gradually broke out, took root and sprouted, and sprouted branches. It was mysterious and dense. It grew in his body and circulated in the meridians of his whole body. There were signs of recovery in the state that had fallen.

Lin Xi unconsciously closed his eyes and experienced it carefully, so that he could integrate himself into the world and return to the moment of emptiness in his body when casting the emperor's sword.

From the outside, he just touched the scenery, closed his eyes and felt the beauty between heaven and earth. However, the flying snow fell on his shoulder, but it was swept away by an invisible barrier. He couldn't get close to his body. It was as if his whole body was a piece of heaven and earth.

He remained in this state. He didn't know how long, maybe for a moment, maybe for a longer time. He felt that he had mastered something and added some power, but he didn't know what kind of power it was, where it came from and how to use it.

"Lin Xi, someone assassinated aunt Xian, Lin Xi

Suddenly, Lin Xi heard Tong Yan's exclamation. From the mysterious state, he suddenly woke up. Without thinking, he looked in front of the Qin'an hall. Suddenly, his canthus wanted to crack and was shocked.
