Chapter 012 Yuhuatai
Although the scenery of Yuhuatai is not as good as other scenic spots, as the location of the Pavilion of Heroes, it deserves to be the first tourist destination in the entire Ming Dynasty. The 120 yuan ticket is not as good as the Leshan Giant Buddha in the entire Ming Dynasty, and this ticket can visit the entire Ming Dynasty. Jubaoshan Scenic Area.
There is a ropeway to go up the mountain, and you have to pay 60 yuan for a round trip. Although Song Boxian's family is not short of money, he has developed a frugal character since he was a child. He thinks going up the mountain to take the ropeway is really a waste.
The stairs along the mountain road are very well built. There are rest areas for tourists every mile or so along the mountain road, and there are a variety of snacks. My little sister will definitely not want to come to a mountain road like this. She usually has to take a car when going out to buy drinks. How can people be willing to drive up the mountain on Route 11?
Just past the halfway point of the mountain, Song Boxian was a little out of breath, but compared to other tourists, his physical fitness was quite good.
There are monkeys halfway up the mountain. Compared with the rhesus monkeys in Mount Emei, the macaques in Jubao Mountain have a quite gentle temperament, and tourists will actively run into their arms when taking photos.
"Ah, who is this? Isn't this our Xiaoxian?"
Song Boxian was holding a sausage in his mouth, taking pictures with his mobile phone in his right hand, and carrying a plastic bag in his left hand, as if he were picking up rags. When he looked back, it turned out to be Liu Zixi who was walking from the rest area.
Song Boxian put down his mobile phone, took the sausage, and quickly swallowed it: "Hey, class assistant, what a coincidence..."
Behind Liu Zixi was a young man. Song Boxian looked at it and thought he was her boyfriend, so he smiled and said, "So, Banzhu, you have a boyfriend. I must have bumped into him."
Liu Zixi's face turned slightly red, and then she showed an embarrassed expression: "Monitor Xiaoxian, don't go around talking nonsense and ruining my reputation."
"sister..."
The young man stepped forward and shouted, he was Liu Zixi's younger brother. Song Boxian felt embarrassed and touched his hair, then stretched out his right hand that was not very free: "Hello..."
"Hello...my name is Liu Shengzhou. This is my sister, Brother Song. I heard my sister mentioned you. I would like to express my gratitude on my sister's behalf..."
Liu Shengzhou said as he bowed his hands to Song Boxian with great respect.
Song Boxian quickly returned the favor and said, "You're welcome, it's all your sister's nonsense..."
Liu Zixi joked: "I don't dare to talk nonsense about our squad leader Xiaoxian, one against five. If Sister Nangong and I weren't a burden to you, I could have defeated them all."
Song Boxian began to be humble. After the two talked for a long time, Song Boxian finally said: "By the way, class assistant, why are you interested in coming to Jubaoshan with your brother?"
"Don't you have a sister? Why are you here alone again?" Liu Zixi frowned: "Shanghai is about two hours away from Nanjing by high-speed rail. You are not tired from running back and forth like this. ?”
Song Baoxian replied: "I woke up early in the morning and felt like I had nothing to do, so I asked my sister to come with me. She couldn't get out of bed, and she was bored playing games. So I just came to Jubaoshan to play. I took the car back at five o'clock and got home at half past seven. It’s not too late. By the way, class assistant, do you live in Nanjing? Why haven’t I heard you say that?”
Liu Zixi coughed dryly, then glanced at his younger brother, and then said: "Where do I need to report to you where do I live? Hahaha, I'm just kidding. My family lives in the outer city of Nanjing, in Qilin District. This is not a free time on National Day. , just come here for a walk."
"Then let's go together..."
The Qingliang Palace is built on the Yuhuatai. There are armed policemen affiliated with the Internal Guards on guard. Ordinary people can only reach the Yuhuatai. One mile further up is the Yuhua Observation Deck. The mountain road to the north of the observation deck is up to the restricted area. Armed police are standing guard on the mountain road.
The ropeway branches up from the Yuhuatai station, and I heard it can go directly to the gate of Qingliang Palace. When the royal family is summering here, they can go directly to the palace, which is extremely convenient.
"I heard from the commentator that when the Holy Ancestor ordered the construction of the Yuhuatai Heroes Pavilion, many of the founding heroes had passed away. It was not until the Holy Ancestor's last few years that the construction was completed."
Song Boxian kept talking, fearing that he would be too familiar with this place and expose his identity. Although he was only the concubine of the Duke's Palace, he was the queen of the First Duke of the Ming Dynasty after all. The nannies who came out of it could show off their power in their hometown.
After three people lined up to enter the Gongchen Pavilion, the tour began. The Gongchen Pavilion is very large and is a typical "mountain"-shaped building. It faces the main hall from north to south, and there are auxiliary halls on the east and west sides.
"The Holy Ancestor only built the main hall in those days, which mainly enshrines the 28 founding heroes, and the remaining 108 are enshrined in the Tian Pavilion on the south side. During the Taizong period, the Heroes Pavilion was expanded and the 108 unpainted heroes were painted first. , and then placed them on the first floor of the main hall, and placed the 28 figures of heroes on the second floor of the newly built main hall;
After Sejong came to the throne, he expanded the Gongshen Pavilion again and built the east and west auxiliary halls, specifically for the meritorious people who will enjoy the Gongshen Pavilion in the future. The west auxiliary hall is for military officers, and the east auxiliary hall is for civil servants. So far, more than 600 years ago, there are only 47 people in the east and west auxiliary halls. "
The Imperial Ancestral Temple in Beijing enshrines the shrines of successive Ming emperors. All the meritorious civil and military ministers can do is "worthy of enjoying the Imperial Ancestral Temple." And worthy of enjoying the Meritorious Ministers Pavilion is the highest honor pursued by the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty. It must expand territory and save the country. , People who have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty are not worthy of enjoying the Hall of Meritorious Officials.
The three of them wandered around the side halls on the left and right first, and then lined up again to enter the main hall.
"There were no portraits of these 108 heroes during the Holy Ancestor period. They were all painted during the Taizong period. Some of the portraits are not so accurate."
By coincidence, Song Boxian and Liu Zixi walked to the east side of the main hall. The portrait hanging on the pillar screen was covered by glass. On the front of the portrait was a row of big characters: Yanzhou Hou Liu Gong Shouwen
The Marquis of Yanzhou is the second level, and according to the Ming Dynasty's noble system, he can live for 6 generations.
A guide came over and asked if he needed any explanation. After the explanation, he only needed to pay 30 yuan. Song Boxian generously took out his WeChat account and scanned the payment code: "Let's get started..."
"Therefore, the Marquis of Yanzhou Liu Gongshouwen. The introduction below the portrait describes the life of the Marquis of Yanzhou. However, this is just an introduction. I will describe it in detail below. Liu Gongshouwen was born in the 13th year of Wanli in the Zhu Dynasty. His ancestral home is Shangyuan, Nanzhili. His native place is Jinyiwei Nanzhen Fusi, he was sent to Liaodong to serve during the Korean War, and he served under the Holy Ancestor Emperor when he was newly appointed as the Nanzhen Fusi Qianye Baihu. In the second year of Tianqi, Liu Gong, who was the Jinyiwei Baihu at that time, was killed by the Holy Ancestor. The ancestor was sent to the Jianlu Tatars as an internal response. For the next eight years, he continued to deliver news from within the Tatars for the Holy Ancestor, and made great contributions to the Holy Ancestor's final suppression of the Jianlu Rebellion;
After the Holy Ancestor ascended the throne, he was awarded the second-class Marquis of Yanzhou based on merit, and he died in the sixth generation. Liu Gong died of illness in the 16th year of Shengwu, and his eldest son Liu Fanxue inherited the title of Marquis of Yanzhou;
In the fourth year of Zhenwu reign of Emperor Taizong, he succeeded Liu Gongfan, Marquis of Yanzhou, and followed his army to conquer the four kingdoms of Jiaozhi, Zhenla, Champa and Siam. He then stationed in Siam for 8 years. Due to his meritorious service, he was conferred the title of Marquis of Yanzhou by Emperor Taizong and was hereditary.
In the 14th year of Zhenwu, a rebellion broke out in Siam. Liu Gongfanxue was impeached by the ministers of the DPRK for violently suppressing the local people in Siam. Emperor Taizong transferred him back to China for some reasons. In the 19th year, he was transferred to the commander-in-chief of the Jiaozhou and Jiaozhi Military Region..."
The commentator explained the entire lineage of Liu Shouwen's family from the first generation to the present in one breath. Song Boxian lamented that this bowl of rice was indeed not delicious. It seemed that the more than one hundred commentators had specially studied the stories of each of the heroes. Lineage, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to talk about it in such detail.
"By the way, young lady, is there a lord named Nangong who is enshrined in the Heroes' Pavilion?"
When Liu Zixi heard this, he smiled and said, "No way, Song Boxian, do you think Sister Nangong is the queen of the lord?"
When the commentator heard this, she said: "Yes, there are the last group of military lords in the Xipu Palace, Dingxi Bonangong Xiong, but I don't know about the lords in the Xipu Palace. If you want to know more about it, you have to go to the Xipu Palace Looking for someone again, do you want me to introduce you to someone?"
"Oh, no need, I'm just asking, I'm just curious..."
Song Boxian didn't want to give out another 30 yuan, so he asked if he could continue to explain. The young lady smiled and replied that two more people could be given. Song Boxian didn't want to waste resources. As a result, he learned that the explainers on the first floor could only The one who talks about the main hall on the first floor, and there are other commentators on the main hall on the second floor.
Song Boxian lamented that it is really not easy to make money now. There are so many commentators in the Gongchen Pavilion, which really makes him dazzled.
After Song Boxian and his party came out of the main hall on the second floor, they heard Liu Zixi sighing: "It's better to be a duke. The 28 dukes back then were all hereditary due to their merit. Look at it now, especially the Duke of Qin's Palace, which is the first of our Ming Dynasty." The first-class wealthy family."
As he spoke, Liu Zixi turned to look at Song Boxian, looked him up and down, then shook his head and sighed: "Tell me, the same surname is Song. Look at you again. What do you think your ancestors were doing at that time? Maybe they were farming in some remote country. Woolen cloth..."
Song Boxian didn't dare to respond carelessly. After hiding his embarrassing identity as the concubine of the Duke of Qin for so many years, he was often ridiculed by his classmates. However, the Duke of Qin is not the only one with the surname Song in the world. Song Boxian only regarded himself as an ordinary citizen, and he never There has never been the arrogant and domineering appearance of noble disciples.
Furthermore, due to the Ming Dynasty’s strict management of nobles, no descendant of the noble family dared to do anything blatantly in broad daylight. This kind of nonsense choice was simply a knife to the Ministry of Rites. Over the years, the Ming Dynasty under the Ministry of Rites The Imperial Procuratorate secretly sends people to collect illegal activities of nobles from all over the country. If it can successfully bring down a hereditary noble, it will not only save the imperial court a lot of money, but also use this qualification to Getting promoted is simply a happy thing.
Song Boxian smiled slightly: "The Holy Ancestor said back then that soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers. Our Ming Dynasty has provided many platforms for ordinary people to rise. As long as you are willing to work hard, the rest will be left to God's will. ..."
"whispering sound..."
Liu Zixi was disdainful, but she still stepped forward and patted Song Boxian on the shoulder: "Squad leader Xiaoxian, if you are ambitious, work hard. When will you become a lord? Don't forget to support us. To show your sincerity, I will invite you tonight You eat hot pot."
"What about that? Can you pack it? My sister is still at home. She doesn't know how to cook..."
Liu Shengzhou chuckled from the side, and Liu Zixi turned around with a black face: "Hit your sister..."
