Although it is an empty room, there are no appliances or furnishings in it. Through the door not far away, you can still see the rolling mountains, towering pines and cypresses, and even the occasional snowflakes drifting in the cold wind. But it wasn't actually cold inside.
Li Shan took off his red fox fur hat and said with a smile, "But you used a wall heater?"
The official who stood with his head bowed and solemnly gave him a look of admiration at the right time, "It is exactly what His Highness said. There are two walls inside and outside, and the inside is hollow, with hot spring water running through it, making the palace suitable."
It's a pity... Cui Xin refused to come, but the mother-in-law was willing, but there were too many things to do during the New Year, so she couldn't drag Eleven Niang to come.
The officials respectfully led Li Shan and his party around inside and outside. Although it had been dilapidated for many years since Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang and later went south to Jiangdu, Li Shan was still able to feast his eyes. After all, this is the Tang Dynasty. It is one of the most famous scenic spots passed down from the Tang Dynasty to later generations, but it was not created by the Tang Dynasty.
"Mr. Lang." Xiaoman hugged Li Shan's arm, "Do you have any poems?"
Li Shan was a little absent-minded, thinking that Wang Zai had finally grown into a steamed bun, and finally blurted out those few words.
There are many poems and articles praising this place, but the most famous ones are the few lines from Bai Letian's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow".
"The spring cold gives me a bath in Huaqing Pool, and the hot spring water washes away the fat. The waiter lifts up the fragile body, which is the beginning of new grace."
These four lines of poetry have stirred up the imagination of countless people in later generations, and they are basically pictures of 404.
But at this time, the name Huaqing Pool has not yet come out... Anyway, it is now called Lishan Tang or Hot Spring Tang. Li Shan guessed that it was the name given by Li Shimin's prodigal great-grandson.
Li Shan had heard the name of Huaqing Pool for a long time. When he came through time and space at the gate of Chang'an City, he still looked back and looked up. Besides the willows of Baqiao, he was thinking of the Huaqing Pool, which was slippery and smooth.
Decades later, Huaqing Pool also became Huaqing Palace. In fact, it was not only a royal attraction, but also became one of the three major political centers of the Tang Dynasty at that time, the other two being Chang'an and Luoyang.
When the Anshi Rebellion broke out, Li Longji took command in Huaqing Palace. After Tongguan was defeated, he also fled from Huaqing Palace.
Li Longji came here every year, for several months at a time. He was accompanied by Concubine Wu Hui at first, and later by Concubine Yang. A large number of courtiers also followed, and even the government offices had their own offices here. The scale is extremely large, almost like a city.
Naturally, it is far from comparable now, but even now, it is not much worse than Taiji Palace... The three main palaces of the Tang Dynasty imperial city, Taiji Palace, are now there, while Daming Palace and Xingqing Palace are not there yet.
Li Shan did not take shelter from the wind and snow, climbed high and looked into the distance. Mrs. Zhou on the side carefully put on his fur hat and put on his scarf.
The officials on the side were still talking eloquently. In fact, there has been a separate garden here since the Zhou Dynasty, which has always been exclusively used by the royal family. Since then, there have been additions in the Qin and Han dynasties.
"The First Emperor proclaimed himself emperor and built a stone well, named it Lishan Tang, which was decorated by Hanwu." The official laughed and said, "The former Sui Dynasty Dazhong Prime Minister Yuwen Hu built the Huangtang stone well. In the third year of the founding of the Emperor, thousands of pines and cypresses were planted and houses were built. Only in Jianyu can we have this scene."
Koushiro on the side said with surprise: "This is for the royal family only..."
"This dynasty is different." The official quickly explained: "A few years ago, the dynasty ordered that all princes and princes set up soup houses, but the saint never came..."
Li Shan smiled and nodded. It's not that the princes and nobles didn't like to soak in hot springs in the early Tang Dynasty, but now they are mainly concentrated in Qingshan and Shimen. The current Huaqing Pool is not taken seriously.
Li Shan knows this very well, because every hot spring has a supervisor, and the person in charge is Sinong Temple... After Li Shan took office as Sinong Qing, the ones he most needed were the supervisors of the various villages, and the one he was most interested in was the hot spring supervisor. I've wanted to come here for a long time. Just because of the turmoil in Chang'an these days due to myself and Su Dingfang, I decided to come here to avoid the limelight.
It's a pity that my mother refused to come, and I couldn't abduct Eleven Niang, so I could only take Zhou, Xiaoman, and the guards and their family members with me. Oh, and I also took them with me to go to Long in a few days. Zhang Wenguan of Zhouzhou.
"Brother Huairen, why are you climbing so high?" Zhang Wenguan, panting, approached, "Aren't you here to soak in the hot springs?"
Li Shan ignored this guy.
I followed him shamelessly and turned my head to look to the east. I remembered that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses were more than ten miles away from Huaqing Pool. I recalled that nearly a thousand years ago, thousands of Terracotta Warriors and Horses were sent to the imperial tombs. As time went by, they were buried underground. It took more than two thousand years to see the light of day again.
Decades later, the story of Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty and Concubine Yang has been passed down through the ages. It is poignant and touching. Li Shan can't help but think about it. There are many similar things in the Tang Dynasty, but there are fewer similar things in other unified dynasties. The reason for this is, Some people in later generations believed that the royal family of the Tang Dynasty had Xianbei blood and did not pay attention to ethics... This is basically nonsense.
Li Shan thought about it, and it was almost likely that Li Shimin was the one who took over. It was enough to kill all the Prince Qi's house, and he had to be included in the harem. Well, his son would follow suit. Before Li Shimin died, Li Zhi hooked up with him. Wucairen.
There are also endless stories of Princess Yongjia having sex with her daughter and her nephew. Li Longji just imitated his ancestors and stole his daughter-in-law.
It’s quite fun to play, such as sister-in-law, concubine, daughter-in-law...
However, there may not be a change in the Xuanwu Sect in this life. If not, will Li Shimin still covet it... No, he will definitely covet it. Will he be shamelessly included in the harem?
What else happened here... Li Shan thought about it, and only thought of the mutiny. It is said that the principal was caught in Huaqing Pool.
Li Shan was still sighing here. Zhang Wenguan over there asked the official: "Where is the beacon tower? I searched around and couldn't find it."
"Beacon Tower?"
The officials looked confused, Li Shan was also confused, but Xiaoman's eyes lit up, "By the way, it is recorded in "Historical Records" that when Hou Xi arrived, there were no invaders, and Xiu Si laughed. King You said this, and there are many examples. war."
Zhang Wenguan said: "Later King You raised a beacon fire to recruit troops, but no soldiers came. Then he killed King You at the foot of Li Mountain, captured Xu Si, and took all the bribes from Zhou Dynasty away."
"Oh." Li Shan suddenly realized, "The beacon fire show on the princes turns out to be in Lishan Mountain."
Zhang Zhongjian added with a smile: "It is also recorded in "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" that King You smiled when he wanted to praise Si, because he beat drums several times, and the soldiers of the princes arrived without any invaders."
Li Shan touched his nose. They are all great people. Fortunately, he traveled to the Tang Dynasty. If it was the Ming and Qing Dynasties and he wanted to take the imperial examination by copying poems, it would be a no-brainer.
Since then, Li Shan has been stuck in Huaqing Pool, enjoying himself every day, climbing mountains and viewing the scenery, admiring the snow, drinking wine, and soaking in hot springs, ignoring the ups and downs of Chang'an.
