The Illegitimate Son of the Song Dynasty Volume 4 Chapter 725 Taking Beauty Out of the City

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In just six days, the old city walls of Tokyo's inner city were leveled by more than 100,000 treasure diggers at an alarming speed.

    Despite this, there are still many people who are unwilling to give in and are still digging in the ruins.

    Because according to the research of "Dudujia News", Li Mian should have buried 36 auspicious beasts in the city, but in the past few days, he only dug up eight, and most of them are still missing.

    Yang Da, who was in a good mood, stole Le Er every day. At the same time, he ordered to buy thousands of fat pigs and give 60,000 labor ate.

    A thousand pigs only cost ten thousand yuan. This time he saved more than one hundred thousand yuan.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????

    The city wall was torn down, but the bricks and earth still had to be transported out of the city. This time there was no clever trick. After tens of thousands of people had a feast, they used the carriages and horses prepared by the workers to pull them out of the city one by one.

    Fortunately, there is no need to pull it too far. According to Si Tianjian's wishes, he can pull it directly to the northeast corner outside the city and pile it up. This will be better for the emperor's drama.

    Yang Yi was quite wary of this statement at first, because it reminded him of the greeting poem that Qingyun Taoist gave him, the first sentence of which was: Gen Zuo Qingming dances in July.

    Because of this poem, Yang Yi understood that "Gen" is one of the eight trigrams and represents the mountain.

    At the same time, Gen is also a directional noun, referring to the northeast.

    Si Tianjian said that building up the northeast corner of the outer city would be beneficial to the Diju River, which reminded Yang Yi of the word Gen and that in the original history, Zhao Ji believed in Taoism.  Bewitched by Taoist priests, he built a low mountain on the east corner of the palace and called it Gen Yue.

    Yang Yi¡¯s first reaction was that Zhao Ji became the king of the country soon after he created Gen Yue. So this Gen Yue is definitely not as beneficial to the Emperor Ju Shui as the Taoist said, and it may be the opposite.

    He was already out, ready to refute this approach.

    When he arrived at the gate of the Ministry of Rites, he stopped again because he figured out how to raise the northeast corner.  Even if it is not beneficial to the Emperor Ju Shui, it should be harmless. Si Tianjian's people are not the only ones in the world who know the hexagrams. They would never dare to joke about it.

    It cannot be said that the collapse of the Northern Song Dynasty had nothing to do with Gen Yue.

    But even if there is some relationship, it was not caused by piling up the northeast corner, but Zhao Ji's subsequent actions.

    He asked Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others to create a flower and stone gang, gathering all the world's strange flowers and stones, rare birds and monsters, and fine fruits and asparagus bamboos here, torturing the people of the world to the point of deprivation.

    Now it is just piling the removed bricks and soil to the northeast corner, which is completely different from Zhao Ji's nature.  It is not harmful to the people of the world.

    On the contrary, this decision facilitates construction, because the ruins of the old city do not need to be transported far.  As long as they are transported to Tokyo Corner in the north of the city and piled up, the distance is very close, which reduces labor intensity and construction time.

    If that¡¯s the case, why do you still want to oppose it?

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUTlly, I wanted to leave an open space as a park for Tokyo residents to use for leisure.

    After thinking about it a bit, Yang Yi couldn't help but smile.  It seems that I have been a little nagging these days, worrying about such invisible things.

    The Ministry of Industry prepared nearly 20,000 carts and more than 30,000 donkeys and horses this time. From each section of the inner city wall to the streets of Xinsongmen, Xincaomen, Chenqiaomen and Xinfengqiumen, they were all connected.  There was a long line of mud trucks.

    With Shen Qingzhi presiding over it, Yang Yi actually didn¡¯t have too many chores to do, generally speaking.  Yang Yi was only needed when he needed to apply for something from the imperial court. If he came forward, he would need some express approval from the imperial court.

    As for how to carry out construction.  Yang Yi is really not as expert as Shen Qingzhi and Ma Bofang when it comes to preparing for building supplies;

    In order to avoid the situation of laymen commanding experts, he simply handed over these matters to Shen Qingzhi and Sima Bofang, allowing them to use their abilities to their fullest.

    With nothing going on, Yang Yi took a few guards and set off from Yu Street, passing through the East Corner Tower, heading north along Gaotou Street, passing through Maxing Street, and prepared to go out of the city to have a look.

    When passing by the Kaibao Temple in the northeast corner of the inner city, I suddenly saw a figure of Pingpingtingting, wearing a bun with two concentric knots, a mink fur coat, a beige flowered shawl, and a lotus-blue 10,000-character curved water weave.  The gold and smoke brocade skirt is extraordinary and colorful, and its beauty is natural. Who is not Qing Niang?

    Behind her were the maid Xiao Ai and two boys at home.

    Qing Niang was about to board the car when she suddenly saw Yang Yi. She couldn't help but welcome him happily and said with a smile: "Brother Yang, where are you going?"

    Yang Yi saw that her face was flushed, she was very pretty, and her breathing was a little rapid. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Qing Niang, I see you are out of breath, what are you doing?"

    "Brother Yang, guess." Qing Niang smiled sweetly.

      "I'm too lazy to guess. If you don't tell me, I'll just think you did something bad." Yang Yi answered her with a smile.

    Even though this was on the street, Qingniang couldn't help but pause her lotus feet and said: "Brother Yang is talking nonsense, huh, I won't pay attention to you."

    Xiao Ai covered her mouth and smiled, and then explained to Qing Niang: "Master Guo, I have gone to climb the iron tower."

    Yang Yi raised his head and looked at the towering tower in Kaibao Temple. No wonder Qing Niang was still uneasy. It turned out that she had climbed the tower to search for poems.

    This iron tower is not really an iron tower, but it is covered with iron-colored glazed bricks and looks like it is made of iron.

    It is the pagoda where Buddha relics are stored in Kaibao Temple. The pagoda has an equilateral octagonal body with thirteen floors and is nearly 60 meters high. There are more than 50 patterns on the brick surface including Buddha statues, flying apsaras, musicians, descending dragons, unicorns, flowers, etc.

    The tower is tall and straight, with gorgeous decorations, like an Optimus Prime, rising from the ground and piercing the sky, with a majestic appearance.  White clouds gently brushed past the top, and the hanging bells jingled in the air. Standing under the tower and looking up at the top of the tower, you can see the blue sky at the top of the tower and the white clouds wrapped around your waist. The scenery is spectacular.

    There is a spiral staircase built inside the tower. You can climb up the steps and spiral up to the top of the tower.

    When you climb to the 5th floor, you can see the street view of Kaifeng city. When you climb to the 7th floor, you can see the suburban farmland and city protection embankment. When you climb to the 9th floor, you can see the Yellow River. When you climb to the 12th floor, you can directly see the city.  In the sky, you suddenly feel like you are surrounded by auspicious clouds and the gentle breeze blows against your face, as if you have stepped into a space fantasy.

    Scenes such as "Iron Tower with Clouds", "Bianshui Autumn Wind", "Golden Pool with Rain", "Sui Embankment with Smoked Willows" are known as the Eight Scenic Spots of Tokyo.

    Qing Niang would often take Xiao Ai to these places to enjoy the scenery and search for poems. Poetry and collection were the main content of her life. This interest itself has a poetic and picturesque artistic conception, which is the life that many people dream of.

    ? It can be seen from the bright smile on Qingniang's face that she has a kind of happiness from the heart that fills her brows.

    "Qingniang, will there be any masterpieces coming out of the tower today?" Yang Yi asked with a smile.

    When she mentioned this, Qing Niang couldn't help but shook her head in frustration.

    "Don't be discouraged, Qing Niang. Beautiful poems can be found everywhere. It takes an idle person a lifetime to get one or two excellent works, which is enough to leave a name in history. It can be seen that such excellent works are really rare."

    "But Brother Yang, if you pick it up at your fingertips, it will be a masterpiece, people, alas"

    Yang Yi couldn't help but laugh. He actually had some good works, but he was just a thief. He didn't expect that this would put pressure on Qing Niang, the most talented woman in the world.

    "Qingniang, get in the car. The iron tower can't move the clouds. I'll take you to see the smoked willows in Sui Di. I'm afraid you will get something unexpected."

    "Brother Yang, have you forgotten that it is winter now? Where is the smoke and willow coming from at this time?"

    "Qing Niang, wherever there is Brother Yang, there is the most beautiful scenery, isn't it? Anyway, that's what I think. Where there is Qing Niang, there is the most beautiful scenery in the world."

    Qing Niang¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but blurred for a while, she nodded, happily picked up her skirt and got into the car.

    Yang Yi stood beside his car, the sound of hoofbeats was brisk, and they galloped out of the city together. This made Yang Yi suddenly think of a poem:

    ??????????????????????????????????????????

    Lang rides a green horse.

    Where can we be united?

    Under the pines and cypresses of Xiling
