Prince Cheng's Mansion is located in the northwest of Luoyang. The buildings in the mansion are strictly symmetrical about the central axis to form a three-way quadrangle with multiple entrances. The layout is organized into the main entrance of the palace, with seven bays. This was a very high-level palace in the Wei Dynasty, because the highest-level
Buildings can only use nine-bay doors, and seven-bay doors are the highest treatment a prince can enjoy.
Why can Prince Cheng enjoy such treatment? It’s a long story. The story goes that Prince Cheng is the younger brother of Emperor Longsheng, the grandfather of Emperor Wanchang. Before Emperor Longsheng ascended the throne, he had laid a solid foundation for his brother’s ascendancy.
Once upon a time, Long Qing was assassinated when the two brothers were returning from court. King Cheng tried his best to stop the assassin and rescue Long Sheng. However, that time, King Cheng hurt the most important part of a man. From then on, he could no longer have any heirs and later became Emperor Long Sheng.
After ascending the throne, he was grateful for his younger brother's achievements and gave him the highest treatment he could enjoy as a prince. Later, he even adopted one of his princes to the king. This was not only a kindness but also a compensation for his younger brother.
Unfortunately, what we never expected was that the prince who was adopted by Prince Cheng would end up being a disaster for Prince Cheng's palace. The prince was originally quite favored and thought he had a great fortune, but he didn't expect that his father would suddenly adopt him.
He gave it to his uncle. Although King Cheng had been promoted to a very high status and became a hereditary and irreplaceable prince, the prince was only a prince after all, not the supreme emperor! So he became jealous, not only against his father.
The emperor also hates Cheng Wang. However, he is just a prince at the moment - no, he is just a prince. He has no way to change all this. He can only wait and wait patiently.
King Cheng was a wise king in the true sense. For the sake of the Wei Dynasty and for his brother, he worked too hard and aged prematurely. However, when he was in his forties, he had already reached the point where he was running out of oil and energy, and finally he was young.
Died young, at only forty-five years old. After his death, Emperor Longsheng paid great tribute to him, and the adopted prince also assumed the title of King.
A few years later, Emperor Longsheng's body gradually collapsed. However, King Xiaocheng, who was in charge of the throne, relied on the emperor's feelings for the word "king" and a trace of guilt for him as an adopted prince. Not only did he gradually master the
He captured almost all the important officials from poor families in the imperial court, and extended his hands into the thirty-six guards of the Beijing army. At the same time, he also accumulated a group of dead soldiers.
In the autumn of the last year of the Longsheng Dynasty, Emperor Longsheng's life was already shaky like a candle in the wind. However, the prince he chose was an introvert and even a bit cowardly. He was not unaware of King Xiaocheng's strength, but he was naive.
He thought that this was just because his younger brother was dissatisfied because he could not get the throne, so he tried his best to gain power. And he also felt guilty for his younger brother to a certain extent - it must be said that this is indeed not the thought that a political figure should have - but
He really thought this, and not only did he think about it, but he also gave in to King Xiao Cheng step by step. So, inevitably, after King Xiao Cheng took control of almost 70% of the Royal Forest Army, he finally made up his mind: mutiny!
There is no need to go into details about the process of the mutiny. In short, a part of the Royal Forest Army and the Ding family generals of several famous families fought tooth and nail to defend the imperial city. The Thirty-Six Guards of the Capital were in internal chaos, and in the end they were unable to help either the Crown Prince or King Xiaocheng.
After receiving the news, the four major border towns, after the Yun family commander Yun Yu (Yun Zheng's grandfather) from Yanjing, swore an oath to King Qin, they all raised troops and swore to King Qin, claiming to protect the prince as the orthodoxy of the imperial court. After receiving the news, the Beijing army took advantage of the situation to calm down
The civil strife finally entered Luoyang and put down the "Xiao Cheng Wang Rebellion"
In despair, King Xiaocheng set fire to himself in the palace, and the magnificent Yinluan Hall of Prince Cheng's palace was reduced to rubble. At this time, the furious Emperor Longsheng finally died. The prince met the commanders of the four border towns and the four princes.
With the support of the head of the big family, he ascended the throne and became the emperor. After that, Prince Cheng's Mansion was sealed up.
The area of Prince Cheng's Mansion is quite large compared to Luoyang, a capital of Kyoto where land is precious. It covers more than 120 acres. Among them, the back garden of Prince Cheng's Mansion mentioned by Princess Huai'an covers an area of nearly fifty acres. The garden of Prince Cheng's Mansion is located behind the mansion.
Behind the tower, at the entrance to the garden is a white marble arch with the four words "Quiet Containing the Ancient Times" on it.
The white marble arch is the main entrance to the garden, located on the central axis. Its shape seemed a bit strange to the people of the Wei Dynasty, but in Yunzheng's eyes it was worth pondering, because this door actually has some styles of later Western architecture. The stone carvings on the front door
The two words "quiet" and "xiu" in "quiet and ancient" and "showy Hengchun" are the realm pursued by the original owner of the garden, Lao Chengwang.
Yunzheng and Princess Huai'an walked quietly through the garden gate, and what came into view was Dule Peak. Dule Peak is a rockery stone inside the garden gate, which plays the role of a screen wall. It is a North Taihu stone, about two feet high.
The shape is formed by natural weathering, with smooth lines and endless implications. It functions as a shadow wall. The top of the peak is engraved with the word "Dule Peak". Looking up, only the word "Lefeng" can be seen, while the word "Du" is hidden in the
top
Yun Zheng looked at it and chuckled: "Dule Peak, Dule Peak, today I am no longer Dule."
Princess Huai'an's face turned slightly red when she heard what he said. Although she had been looking forward to this day for a long time, she still felt shy after knowing that Yun Zheng had proposed marriage to her father. What's more, she had just made the wedding ceremony and her father had not yet
When she formally agreed to the Yun family, she went to see her mansion alone with Yun Zheng, which made her feel a little worried.
To be honest, Lin Yuyan and Yun Zheng did not spend very little time alone together, but at that time, the matter was not revealed. Although Lin Yuyan's heart was towards Yun Zheng, after all, she did not have to leave the last layer of screen like now.
revealed
Sometimes, people are like this, especially women
With Yunzheng's face, he would not have such a mentality as Lin Yuyan. He completely ignored Lin Yuyan's blush, stopped, looked at her, and said softly: "Yan'er, I used to only practice martial arts and didn't care about your feelings.
, I will definitely repay you all the love I owed you in the future."
Lin Yuyan's face turned red. This was the first time she heard Yun Zheng talk about love, and it was so straightforward. How could this not make her feel ashamed? However, the current scene was something she had been looking forward to for a long time.
Yes, so she was finally able to hold back her shame, shook her head, and said in a voice as small as a mosquito's groan: "Brother Zheng, you don't owe Yan'er anything. Everything Yan'er did was done willingly. You have nothing to do with it."
No need to pay it back”
"No, no" Yun Zheng waved his hand to interrupt, looked into Lin Yuyan's eyes tenderly, and said with a smile: "If you want to pay it back, you must pay it back...Yan'er, I not only have to pay it back, but I will spend my whole life paying it back to you."
Princess Huai'an's eyes were instantly covered with a layer of mist, but she couldn't resist the tenderness in Yunzheng's eyes. She lowered her head like a frightened bird, and a wisp of flying clouds spread from her face to her ears, and then to her jade neck for a long time.
