Spring Forest Evening

It is modeled after the water pavilion in Emperor Wu's hidden mansion... Zhou Heng's heart moved when he said this, and he immediately thought of the "Scenery of Willow Lake" that Shen Fu's mother and concubine brought as a dowry.

I remember that there were two waterside pavilions in the picture, and there was a walkway between the waterside pavilions. At that time, both myself and Shen Fu felt that there was a difference between the topography and architecture of the palace, but later Shen Fu recalled the naughty things about going over the wall to the next mansion when he was a child, and said There are two water pavilions there, and there is also a walking path in the middle.

Now hearing Uncle He talk about such an allusion, Zhou Heng originally felt that there was something strange about such a topographic map that had nothing in common with the name, but now he felt that there was a lot of content in it.

It seems that I still have to try to go to the next-door mansion in the future, anyway, I can't enter the palace, and I don't want to go in, but I can still take a sneak peek at the water pavilion in the next-door house.

As for that picture, I have to take it out and look at it if I have nothing to do in the future. There should be something hidden behind it.

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng glanced at Shen Fu, as if he had a heart-to-heart, Shen Fu gently shook the hands he was holding underneath, and motioned to her in a low voice: "Listen to Uncle He first."

When Uncle He heard this, he thought that the young lady of the Zhou family, who had never been in the palace, could not understand something, so he specially explained a few more words:

"Shangyun Pond is connected to Xiayun Pond in the next door mansion. It was originally a place called Yun Lake. The name was chosen by Emperor Wu himself. I carefully recalled that the style of the water pavilion beside Taiye Pond is similar to that of our side. It's still not the same, so it's probably in the mansion next door, but I don't know if it's still there. After all, it's been decades. Of course, it's not impossible for you to ask someone to go over to see it in private. Maybe It's still there, the house next door, since the second prince didn't get it before, maybe the emperor still values ​​it."

"The house next door is connected to our mansion. In fact, it was originally the same mansion. It is said that Emperor Wu got it from her father when he was still the third princess. In fact, it has some history, so it was said to be quite a sensation at the time. Oh, by the way, today the queen also mentioned that the house might have been specially reserved by the emperor for the present third princess. Speaking of which, the emperor really loves this young girl, so let's talk about it later. "

For the three princesses?Then the third princess thought about Shen Fu again...does she also want to get a big house like Emperor Wu did back then?What do you want to do in such a big house?Do you also want to learn from Emperor Wu to be the emperor?Isn't that going to kill her brother?Such thoughts floated through Zhou Heng's mind, but unfortunately, he was quickly attracted by Uncle He's next words:

"The water pavilion was built by Princess Zhaohuai's father, King Kang. At that time, two buildings were built, connected by a wooden plank road in the middle. The idea was given by Princess Zhaohuai. After the completion, Kangwang's Mansion is just one street behind. Therefore, Princess Zhaohuai often comes here to play with the three princesses by the bank of Yunhu Lake."

"The two love each other as sisters, and they supported each other all the way. Later, Princess Zhaohuai died in a pavilion by the Taiye Pool to save Emperor Wu. In his later years, Emperor Wu missed this cousin who was conferred the title of princess by her. For this reason, I often sat in the pavilion where Princess Zhaohuai had an accident for a long time."

"The crown prince and the concubine born of Princess Zhaohuai are very filial, and I am very worried about her body. The pavilion is almost level with the water. Except for the lotus bushes in summer, there is no shelter on weekdays. When the weather is warm Fortunately, rainy and snowy days are really not a good place to go. The two discussed and discussed, thinking that Emperor Wu often talked about some interesting things with the people around him when he was in the hidden mansion with Princess Zhaohuai, and many of those things happened. At the bank of Yunhu Lake, the prince thought of a coup."

"The pavilion where Princess Zhaohuai's accident happened was built in the water, and there is a stone bridge connected to the shore. The prince asked Emperor Wu to show him that he first demolished the pavilion so that she would not be sad when she sees things and people. Only the stone underneath is left. The base of the platform is used for viewing. Afterwards, at the stone bridge, an identical one was built according to the style of the water pavilion beside Yunhu Lake. In this way, just like the water pavilion in our mansion, you can hang bamboo Curtains, curtains, and tables, chairs and even soft couches can be placed inside, which is naturally much more comfortable than the original pavilion with only stone tables and benches."

"The emperor naturally didn't say much about these things when he came to Changchun Palace to reprimand him. He only mentioned Emperor Wu and the prince, meaning to blame the empress for not investigating in advance, and disrespecting the two former emperors, saying that she was so arrogant when she first entered Changchun Palace. These few crimes are laid down, hehe, no one will feel better after hearing it."

Is it disrespectful to the first emperor to give a name to the imitation water pavilion?Zhou Heng curled his lips in his heart, we don't know who is not guilty, so he asked:

"Then the Empress didn't justify herself? It's such a long time ago, and she just entered the palace, who knows so clearly!"

"That's right," Uncle He nodded and said, "It's human nature. If you've been wronged, you have to find a chance to defend yourself. But this matter involved the two former emperors. At that time, the emperor didn't say much, so what he just said Those things were found out later by the Empress herself, and it took quite a bit of time and effort."

"According to her, after the water pavilion was built, Emperor Wu sat in it all day long, and sometimes even rested there. There is a saying that later, Emperor Wu died suddenly in that water pavilion. Of course, this is a secret matter of the palace. unknown."

"At that time, the emperor rushed to the Changchun Palace to reprimand her. The empress said that she was also young and vigorous at that time. When she heard the emperor say that she was disrespectful and disfilial to the former emperors, she also spoke back a few words in defense, saying that these old things are her own. How did I know that, and at the beginning, I also wanted to let the empress dowager choose the name, but I didn't expect that the matter of filial piety to the empress dowager was not only not praised, but also got such injustice."

"The queen said that, and the emperor was even more furious when he heard it. He had just ascended the throne, and it was not appropriate to punish the queen with great fanfare. I got off the painting boat in the Taiye Pool, and let the Empress Empress stay in that water pavilion on the pretext that she was unwell..."

Is it possible to open a painting boat in Taiye Pond?This was Zhou Heng's first reaction, so he almost blurted it out. Fortunately, she is not impulsive, and at this moment, Shen Fu's hand, which was clasped with her, suddenly moved for some reason and scattered a little. attention.

So the next attention was focused on the matter of the emperor abandoning the empress on the mid-autumn night, and accompanying the empress dowager on a boat to enjoy the moon alone. Zhou Heng originally suspected that the emperor of the same age had an affair with the empress dowager. Now that he heard this, I feel that this matter is basically more certain.

For this reason, when I was excited, I felt that my hands were sweating a little, so I glanced at Shen Fu, and gently pulled my hands back a little bit embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Shen Fu turned his head and asked her softly.

Those thoughts were a bit messy and needed to be sorted out, and it was not suitable to discuss in front of Uncle He and Shen Yi, but now because of Shen Fu's voice, they all looked over, Zhou Heng was a little confused. Flustered, and embarrassed to say directly what I was thinking just now, I had to say something vague:

"Uh, I think, this whole thing, why do you think it's a bit like the emperor and the queen mother...singing together?"
