Spring Forest Evening

Chapter 159 Bold Guess

Walking with a big rock in the water, Shen Fu was actually a little eager to try the words "Hercules" that Zhou Heng said. Holding a rock, I am not very sure about it, but since Ah Heng said that there is some buoyancy in the water and it will not feel heavy, it is still worth a try.

And subconsciously, just like Zhou Heng, the more Shen Fu thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was quite high. Before that, he was puzzled by those large iron objects, although so far everyone thought that this matter was aimed at Prince Jing's mansion. Come on, but if you want to talk about why you have to deal with Prince Jing's mansion so much, although Shen Fu didn't tell anyone, he still has doubts in his heart. After all, if the third princess just wants to marry into Prince Jing's mansion, get rid of A Heng still makes sense, but it doesn't make sense for someone to specially choose a secret place in Zhongnan Road for assassination-like training.

You know, given how much she loves the three princesses today, and she herself is the descendant of the empress dowager, the easiest and best way is to let the emperor decree to give her a marriage. In the past, Aheng was the first, but now it is not. What kind of obstacle, and when I entered the palace and said to be filial piety, the emperor also said at the time that he would have to be the master after half a year, wouldn't that be a matter of one sentence? .

Even I understand this truth, and I think the third princess, who is deeply loved by the emperor, understands it better. What's more, there is a scheming empress dowager and the governor of Zhongnan Road behind her. Controlled things to the capital?

And just like what Ah Heng said, those iron wares, not to mention the shallow water like Shangyun Lake, there are not many places in the capital that can be used, unless it is a place like Liuhu Lake or Taiye Lake where the water is deep and deep. The place.

Thinking of these two places, Shen Fu couldn't help taking a deep breath, his heart beat a little faster, and there were some things in his mind that he didn't dare to think about.

Speaking of which, there is no intersection between Liuhu Lake and Taiye Pool. After all, one is a prosperous folk place and the other is a forbidden garden in the palace. In fact, Liu Lake is formed naturally, while Taiye Pool is excavated manually.

However, in the later years of Emperor Wu, it was said that it rained for a long time one year, not to mention that many low-lying areas in the capital were flooded, and dozens of houses soaked in water collapsed. The entire water system of Liuhu Lake was dredged and widened. Later, I even came up with the excellent idea of ​​opening a water gate where the river crosses the city gate. In this way, the flood in the capital can be adjusted according to the situation, and the main roads in the capital can also be reduced. The degree of damage even reduces the number of repairs. After all, the volume of goods transported by ship is large and the price is low. The freight can be concentrated at the water gate, and the goods passing through the rest of the land gates are mostly light and will not press the road. .

For this reason, a canal was specially dug in Gyeonggi-do to connect with the Liu River. In this way, the flood in the capital was eliminated, and the water transportation from south to north was also greatly expanded. I went to see it by myself, half to eat, drink and play, and half to let myself gain some knowledge.

The gate of the water city is not wide, which means that two ships can pass side by side. Because there are many cargo ships, many small stalls and hawkers doing business on the water have also been born on both sides of the bank, which is very lively.

I remember that when I was still young, I asked my father what to do if someone used this river to sneak into the city at night to do bad things. My father laughed at that time and said that there is Yangguan Road, so why do you want to enter the city in a wetland?Can't wait for one night in such a hurry?Moreover, if you walk through the city gate on land during the day, you may be able to enter the city smoothly, but if you sneak in the water at night, once you are caught, even if you have no problem, you will be suspected of having a problem.

At that time, I was still not convinced. At that time, my father was asking me to read the military book, and said that what should I do if an enemy army sneaks into the city from here?

As a result, the father laughed even harder, and asked himself to take a good look at the situation inside and outside the water city gate, and think about it when he went back. He also said that Emperor Wu was a hero, and she had personally led troops into the city when she was young, so how could she not know this.

Not to mention that I figured it out after I went back, in fact, I already understood the situation inside and outside the water city gate. After all, I had already studied some military books at that time. There was a moat outside the city, and there was an urn city inside the city. The door, as well as the two iron fences inside and outside, are simply guarded by one man and one man cannot open it.

It's a pity that Emperor Wu was very talented, and the project was too vast, not to mention costly, and it took a long time, so he didn't see the final appearance of the water city gate. After that, the prince came to the throne, that is, the emperor who married Empress Xie. It took several years to complete, including the dredging of Taiye Pool in the palace.

It is said that when Emperor Wu was young, he used to gallop his horse by the Taiye Pool, and he was so graceful that those who were lucky enough to see him were always proud of it. The reason why Emperor Wu blocked the arrow was probably out of nostalgia for the two mothers, and also to comfort Empress Xie. Later, in the year when the Taiye Pool project was completed, the emperor carried out the ceremony at the Taiye Pool on the anniversary of the death of Princess Zhaohuai. The grand sacrificial activity, and on the night not long after the sacrificial activity ended, the husband-in-law of Princess Zhaohuai, Duke Zhen Guo, who was in the same line with the current Duke Huguo's Mansion, passed away suddenly, which also made the world feel sorry for this deeply affectionate couple. So sad.

For this reason, in the Mid-Autumn Festival of the second year, the emperor was very sad when he saw Empress Xie touching the scene, so he ordered people to build a painting boat, so that she could sit on the boat and go to the Taiye Pool to look at the moon and think about people. Later, it became a fixed custom in the palace——

After the mid-autumn night palace banquet, the emperor and queen joined hands to board a boat to enjoy the moon.

At that time, singing and dancing by the Taiye Pool can be regarded as a pleasure in the palace.It's just that Empress Jiang is not in good health now. Although Concubine Xiang Gui is favored, she knows how to advance and retreat. Therefore, in these years, the emperor served the empress dowager to board the boat to enjoy the moon. Follow along, it can be regarded as a good story of mother's kindness, son's filial piety, brother and sister...

"Hey, Shen Fu, are you listening to me? Hello!" Zhou Heng's dissatisfied voice came from next to his ear, and his sleeve was pulled again.

"It's nothing, I'm listening. Didn't you say you're going to try it in the water?" Shen Fu withdrew his thoughts and let her continue to tug on his sleeve. At least it would be nice if she could call her by his name. Li couldn't help smiling, and said softly:

"Let's take this matter for a while!"
