Chapter 242 Qin Huai's Dream
Jiangnan Beauty Land, Jinling Imperial State.
Yingtian Mansion is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, with Zhongshan Mountain as a barrier to the east and the natural dangers of the Yangtze River to the west. It is majestic and majestic. It has the advantage of tigers and dragons, and it also controls the water and land transportation hub. It is a must-win place for military strategists in ancient and modern times.
As far back as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, King Fu Chai of Wu sent people to smelt bronzes in this city, which he called "Yecheng". After Yue destroyed Wu, Fan Li built another earthen city by the Qinhuai River, which was called "Yue City". Chu was destroyed
After Echigo, Xiong Shang, King of Chu Wei, built Jinling City on Qingliang Mountain, and the name Jinling originated from this.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan moved the capital to Jinling and renamed it Jianye. In the following year, he built a city on the original site of Jinling City in Stone Mountain and named it Stone City. Jianye is close to the mountain city, and because the river is a pond, the situation is dangerous, so it is also known as "Stone City with Tigers".
After that, the Eastern Jin Dynasty reorganized the city into Jiankang, and the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen dynasties in the Southern Dynasties successively established their capitals here, making Jiankang surpass the ancient Roman city and become the first city in the world with a population of more than one million.
The name of Jinling as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties spread throughout the world.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang unified the Central Plains and invited ministers to discuss the issue of establishing the capital. The ministers expressed their opinions and proposed Luoyang, Guanzhong, Bianliang, and Beiping.
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang made a decision and said, "Everything he said is good, but there are differences at the time. Chang'an, Luoyang, and Bianliang were the ancient capitals of the Zhou Dynasty, Han, Tang, and Song Dynasties. But at the beginning of the pacification, the people had not yet rested. If the capital was built there, it would be
We will provide hard labor, fully capitalize on the south of the Yangtze River, and work hard for its people; if we go to Peiping, the palaces will not be without renovation. Jianye, the natural chasm of the Yangtze River, with dragons, pans, and tigers, is enough to build a country. There are dangers to rely on, and water to drain, and I want to build it.
For Zhongdu, how about”
The ministers could only praise him for his good deeds, so he made Jinling the capital and changed its name to Yingtianfu to show his superiority to Heaven. The Ming Dynasty was established. Peiping was renamed Shuntianfu and the son of King Yan, Zhu Di, who had the greatest military merit, was granted the title.
The urban area of Yingtianfu is vast. The Yangtze River runs across the north of the city from west to east. The world-famous Qinhuai River flows from the south of the city, loops around the west of the city and then flows into the north. The plains on both sides of the river are thousands of miles long, and the Ningzhen Mountains are connected to the rich Yangtze River Delta in the east.
There are rows of houses, scenic spots and ancient temples, and endless romance through the ages.
There are many brothels on both sides of the river before the Qinhuai River enters the river, which brings together the prosperous scene of "Golden Fen in the Southern Dynasties". Here are the Qingyan, Dianfen, Meiyan and other six floors built by Zhu Yuanzhang when he founded the country to accommodate officials and prostitutes, and there are other
There are ten Qin Towers and Chu Pavilions with a long history that existed before the founding of the People's Republic of China. They are collectively called the Sixteenth Tower of Qinhuai.
In addition, there are countless river houses and painted boats densely scattered on the Qinhuai River, from Wuding Bridge to Lishe Bridge, and then extending to Fishing Alley, meandering to Shuiguan and the river area. They are clustered close to each other, and everyone lives in them.
They are all famous prostitutes who are stunning in the south of the Yangtze River. Each of the fenggeluuan buildings in each house is extremely exquisite and gorgeous, with carved railings, painted thresholds, and silk curtains and windows, just like the realm of a fairy home.
Among them, the largest and most famous one is Hua Yuxi’s Goddess Tower.
After passing the Fishing Alley, the Qinhuai River branches off into a tributary less than three feet wide, called the Rouge River. The Goddess Tower is located on the Rouge River that was created separately for it.
The Goddess Building occupies a very large area, and you can see red flowers, green willows, and rockery verandahs everywhere in the outer courtyard. It not only has the beauty of the garden, but also has the beauty of spring. Every step of the way, you can see each scene, which makes people dizzy.
Its main building is in the shape of a standard square, with three floors built like tofu blocks directly above the Rouge River. It contains more than 600 elegant rooms of various sizes, and nearly 400 "goddess" of various colors with beautiful faces, and various ways of playing games.
You can choose from all kinds of wonderful performances.
If tourists want to enter, they must take a boat from the Rouge River to the building, land at the pier, and then go up the stairs from the patio inside the building to enjoy the endless romance.
Lan Feng and Ben Yali came to the capital by land and went straight to the Rouge River without having time to eat.
At this time, the sky was not dark yet, so it was a good opportunity to look for flowers and willows. Lan Feng got on the boat and couldn't hide his excitement as he admired the scenery on both sides of the Qinhuai River. He asked Ben Yali who was sitting next to him, "Looking for flowers and willows is not honorable after all."
, why do you have to go with me?"
"I'm afraid you'll run away." Ben Yali, who had changed into a man's attire, rolled her eyes at him and said, "You know it's a disgraceful thing, so you finally have some self-awareness."
"You even use an idiom." Lan Feng shook his head and said with a half-smile, "A brothel is not a place for a girl like you to go."
Ben Yali shrugged and said calmly, "If there's anything inappropriate about it, I'll just find a girl to accompany you."
The two of them were chatting about nothing. The boat turned on the river and swung into the Rouge River, heading towards the small dock below the goddess. As soon as the boat stopped, two young girls reached out to them.
With soft and boneless jade hands, they pulled the two guests ashore.
Lan Qiao let the welcoming girl pull her and looked up at the door to the pink world.
I saw a couplet written on both sides of the gate of the Goddess Building in a girl's graceful handwriting. The first couplet said that the Goddess returned to her heart, her red sleeves made a heartfelt smile; the second couplet said that King Xiang is looking for a dream, and the candle illuminates the drunken dream for three lives.
Lan Feng recited it silently and couldn't help but cheer in his heart, and said eloquently, "Humanity is the goddess Wu Xinxiang and Wang Youmeng, but when she arrived here, she became the goddess Guixin. What a goddess building, it turns out that it also implies this meaning."
The girl beside him who held his hand showed a look of adoration and intoxication in her eyes. She pressed her whole fragrant and soft body against his body and said softly, "Young Master is really knowledgeable and talented, but I don't know where the Young Master, Prince Xiang, is looking for today."
A goddess is looking for her dream." She stared at Lan Feng with affectionate eyes, and winked at him at the end.
Lan Feng felt the power of the Goddess Tower, glanced at the beautiful girl beside him, thought for a while and insisted, "I want to see Chu Xingyu."
The disappointed look in the girl's eyes flashed away, but her enthusiasm remained undiminished on the surface, saying, "Young master, you have come at the right time. There are very few guests coming to see Sister Chu today. As long as you perform well, I believe you will be chosen by Sister Chu.
Take good care of the young master."
Only then did Lan Feng realize that going to a brothel did not mean that you could do whatever you wanted if you had money. He frowned slightly and was about to laugh at himself about the rules of "prostitutes choosing clients" here, when he was pulled into the wide patio lobby by the girl.
This lobby is located in the middle of the three-storey building of the Goddess Building. Looking up, you can see the goddesses and patrons coming and going in the corridors on the second and third floors. The sound of harps, drums and the laughter of girls mixed with the fragrance of powder are on the floor.
Word spreads from time to time, and people can deeply appreciate the romantic charm of the Goddess Building just by stopping here.
There are more than a dozen square tables for guests to wait in the lobby. Three large green, red and blue wooden boards like notice boards stand in the east, west and south directions respectively. Many small bamboo signs are densely nailed on the boards. On each bamboo sign,
They all have a girl's name written on them.
