Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Elephant Is Invisible, but There Is Something Inside
Guan Zhuofan was thinking nonsense, Huang Yujing coughed lightly, and asked cautiously: "Please show the prince, do you want to look at the east room first, or the west room first?" ”
"No hurry," Guan Zhuofan said with a smile, "I want to read Emperor Gaozongchun's hadith first." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
The so-called "Hadith of Emperor Gaozongchun" refers to the two couplets hanging on the four pillars in the center of the hall -- both of which are Gaozong's imperial pen.
It's just the appearance of Lord Xuan-
With his chest straight, his hands behind his back, his head slightly tilted, and his eyes squinted, he didn't look like "Gong Reading".
The first two times I entered the Qianqing Palace, I couldn't look around, and these two famous couplets were not carefully looked at, this time, I had to take a good look.
The two big pillars in front - the big pillars on both sides of the Dan Majesty, the couplets on the top are: "The table is all the nations, and the body is cautious and the body is cultivated and thought about forever; Hongfu five classics, no light civil but difficult. ”
The two big pillars at the back - the big pillars on both sides of the throne screen, the couplet on the top is: "Kekuan Keren, the emperor built its pole; But the essence is the only one, and the Tao accumulates in the bow. ”
The meaning is not bad, but this word-
Guan Zhuofan snorted heavily in his heart: It's not much better than me.
In the 21st century, these characters are at most the level of a calligraphy lover, and they are still the kind of calligraphy lover who has not been getting started for a long time.
In Guan Zhuofan's eyes, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, on the law book, regard Shizong as the first, Gaozong's words, not even half of his father's level, such a bad word, and smear everywhere all day long, a person, self-knowledge to such a point, is really rare in the world.
Seeing that Tian'er is facing these bad words, he is really "wronged", can you think of some way to replace them?
Prince Xuan narrowed his eyes for a long time, and finally finished "reading" the "Hadith", and turned his head, "Let's start with the western room." ”
"Yes, yes!"
The east and west of the Qianqing Palace are a very "trance" "existence" for people born in the 21st century.
Because the Ming Hall of the Qianqing Palace is too spacious, many people will have the illusion that the doors on the east and west walls of the Ming Palace are the doors that open to the halls on both sides -- thinking that there is only one wall between the Ming Hall and the halls.
If you have this misunderstanding, if you think about it for a while, it will be very strange: Qianqing Palace is the "Son of Heaven is sleeping", such a pattern, where is the "Son of Heaven" sleeping?
This illusion, even Guan Zhuofan once had, frowning, after being strange for a long time, he suddenly reacted, and couldn't help laughing.
In fact, between the Ming Hall and the Piercing Hall, there is a second room, and its spaciousness is something that Guan Zhuofan has never seen before, whether in the original time and space or in this time and space.
It's just that in the original time and space, between the east and west of the Qianqing Palace, the doors and windows were never closed, and their true faces were not revealed, and many people turned a blind eye to the huge space in front of them.
Now, not only can I see the true face of this "existence" that has made me "in a trance" for many years, but from now on, I will also take it as a stop, and fly with the emperor of this huge empire.
The door between the Ming Hall and the second room has been opened, not a partition door, but a heavy wooden door with a deadbolt, and in terms of size, the courtyard door of an ordinary person's house is nothing more than that. As far as the Qianqing Palace is concerned, not to mention any "courtyard gate", this is just the door between the bright room and the second room, it is the "room door", and it is not even a "room door" -- the "room door" of the Qianqing Palace is the middle gate, which can only go through the three gates of the emperor, the empress, and the queen mother.
Above the "door of the room", there is a decorative eaves, the carvings are extremely complicated, Guan Zhuofan glanced at it, and he was slightly dizzy.
Gotcha, don't look at it, go in.
As soon as he entered the door, Guan Zhuofan gasped slightly.
There are about two floors...... Not only that, it's almost as tall as a three-story building!
Raising his head, Guan Zhuofan reacted: the smallpox in the second room and the smallpox in the Ming Hall are actually the same smallpox - no wonder...... High open!
Turning his head and looking at the open sill windows on both sides, Guan Zhuofan understood:
The Qianqing Palace is nine rooms wide, and the Ming Palace, that is, the Ming Palace, occupies three; East and West sub-rooms, each accounting for two; There are also two rooms, that is, the location of the end, which gives the halls on both sides, and one on one side. According to the order of the bright room, the second room, the tip room, and the end of the room, all the way through, the so-called "time room" is actually the "time room" and the "tip room" are connected into one, no wonder so...... Xuanchang!
Hey, high, open, my adjective, a little poor.
The Qianqing Palace is five rooms deep, deep to this, the room with two rooms wide, if from the beginning to the end, without shelter, must be large and inappropriate, therefore, the second room is divided into the front and back, or the north and south two rooms, the back room, or the north room, and is divided into the upper and lower two floors, the upper floor, as mentioned above, that is, the so-called "fairy building" discussed by Meng Jingzhong and Huang Yujing.
Okay, let's take a look at the front room and the south room first.
On the east and west walls, there are extremely high and wide bookshelves.
How high? It's about one and a half floors high, and even above the door, there are bookshelves.
How wide is it? The whole wall, full of bookshelves, leaves no room for anything.
On the bookshelf, there are a variety of rare books, at a glance, magnificent, extremely eye-catching.
Guan Zhuofan sighed in his heart: It is said that Kangxi is studious, and his name is empty!
In my impression, there seems to be no emperor like Kangxi, who turned his bedroom into a complete big study?
Ai Xin Jueluo. Xuan Ye, among the twelve emperors of the Qing Dynasty, is not only the best to learn, but also the most open-minded one, originally, China is most likely to start the process of modernization in his hands, but unfortunately, you have been the emperor for sixty-one years, Wende and Wuluo, which is considerable, but the word "modernization" has almost nothing to do.
It's a pity, it's a pity.
In this time and space, since I live in your house, the work of "modernization" will be done by me, hehe, hehe.
Under the south window is the kang, on the kang, in the plain dark flower white porcelain flower bottle, a cluster of early-blooming red plums, under the illumination of the sun, is particularly dazzling.
Interesting.
This bottle of red plum, probably won't do the business of the original owner of this house, which idea is it?
Guan Zhuofan glanced at Huang Yujing, and said in his heart: This head of the Qianqing Palace is still quite good at running errands.
The eunuch is the most observant person in the world, and the subtle changes in Prince Xuan's expression are all in Huang Yujing's eyes, and he is secretly happy in his heart: The big red envelope given to Meng Jingzhong is really worth it!
"These bookshelves," Guan Zhuofan said, "are all fixed to the wall, right?" ”
"Yes," Huang Yujing said, "If you go back to the prince, it will be fixed on the wall, otherwise, the shelf will be too high, and it will be terrible if you accidentally fall down." ”
After a pause, "Lord Wang, please rest assured, every mortise and tenon joint has been carefully checked, and everything that should be replaced has been replaced, these two rows of bookshelves, and Kangxi Ye at that time, are generally firm." ”
After another pause, "Also, the books on the shelves, one by one, have been sun-dried, and none of them are moldy-if there is, the prince will punish the minions." ”
Guan Zhuofan smiled, "I can trust you." ”
Huang Yujing's bones were light, and the smile on his face was even more full of flowers.
Guan Zhuofan's eyes returned to the bookshelf, thinking to himself, these two rows of bookshelves are so high, how can I take the books on the top layers?
After thinking about it, he smiled dumbly: Naturally, there are eunuchs who climb the ladder to get it, do you want the emperor to go up and down by himself?
Although he has become a prince and a royal husband, this habit of thinking is still ...... Hey.
The lower floor of the north room, as far as you can see, is divided into two rooms, east and west—four partition doors on the west side, four sill windows on the east side, and a large red-lacquered pillar between the doors and windows.
At present, the doors and windows are open, and the first door of the west room, that is, the one next to the big pillar, reveals a curved staircase, which is the staircase to ascend the "fairy tower".
Prince Xuan was not in a hurry to "ascend to the immortal", but advanced to the West Chamber.
As soon as you enter the door, the north wall facing you is a large bed carved with red sandalwood, which occupies a full wall, and can almost be regarded as a "room" - there is also a carved frieze on it.
Oh, that's what it means to be a serious "bed".
"Lord Qiyu," Huang Yujing said, "although the imperial couch is against the north wall, and it is a bed, not a kang, but in winter, the kang under the south window is generally warm—and the earth dragon walks under the imperial couch." ”
Winter? It's early winter, isn't it?
"Is the earth dragon burning now?"
"Back to the prince's words," Huang Yujing said, "Not yet, you have to wait until you have completely passed through the wind and qi before you can burn the earth dragon, otherwise, the fireworks will be heavy." ”
After a pause, "Don't worry, the prince has burned the earth dragon, and in less than a day, the entire Qianqing Palace will be warm, and on the coldest day, the clothes of Da Mao will not be able to wear it - it will not delay things." ”
Guan Zhuofan nodded.
He naturally knew the benefits of the earth dragon, but he was originally worried that the Xuan of the Qianqing Palace was far wider than the Heart Cultivation Hall and the East and West Six Palaces, but he didn't know that if he got the season of dripping water into ice, would the earth dragon work? For this reason, he also has a plan to "renovate the Qianqing Palace", for example, to install heating for the Qianqing Palace or something, he is also seriously looking for it on the map, which place is suitable for installing boilers?
If it is really like what Huang Yujing said, "On the coldest day, Da Mao's clothes are not very suitable for wearing", then his plan to "transform the Qianqing Palace" can be slowed down, at least, until the power is completely consolidated, and he can give political opponents less tools to attack him.
As soon as I entered the east room from the west room, I found that the east room was much narrower than the west room, and it was only about two-thirds the size of the west room.
Here in the south room, there is a couch near the window, which is a living room pattern, but the bedroom is outside, and the living room is inside, which is quite unaccustomed.
After thinking about it, it doesn't matter, in this place, except for the emperor and himself, as well as the eunuchs and palace maids who are close to him, no one else will come in, and there is no difference between the bedroom and the living room, which is outside and which is inside.
Well, the south room is the living room, so what is the north room?
It's a little curious.
