Empress Xiaozhao

Natural animals liked to live, and such favorable conditions as dense vegetation and water were the perfect conditions for the emperor to hunt.

After the Ming Dynasty ancestor Zhu Di moved to Shuntian, he moved all the people who lived in the sea. The expansion of the palace, the construction of a hundred and twenty miles of fence around it, and the expansion of the hunting grounds built by the Yuan Dynasty by tens of times.

The "southern wind" in the ten scenes of the Ming Dynasty referred to the southern sea. There are four branches in Zhou, the internal construction of the Yamen, with one Tidor in charge and four Tidor in charge.

The garden was divided into four parts, each managed by a Tidor, and controlled by 400 Seafolk. Twenty-four gardens were set up in the garden to raise animals and grow fruit and vegetables for the emperor and the bureaucratic aristocracy to hunt and rest.

However, by the time of the Lunar New Year, the gradually decreasing Southern Garden was already very dilapidated.

After the emperor of Shun Zhi had taken over the Central Plains, Nanhai Zi was renamed as the Southern Garden. With the Southern Garden, which was a garden palace that suited the emperor's interests, Emperor Shun Zhi naturally wanted to build a place that was more suitable for his interests, thus he created the West Garden.

However, the West Garden was a place that the Shun Zhi Emperor used as his own palace. It was the Southern Garden but this was still the biggest hunting ground in the imperial family.

Although he had constructed the West Garden, Fu Lin did not give up on it. Emperor Shun Zhi ordered for the operation of the temple to be continued, and then continued to build the four palaces and several temples. The empress dowager believed in Shamanism, so the emperor asked the work department to build a new temple.

The temporary residence was renovated at two of the Tidor's yamen offices in the Ming Dynasty. Two of the new palaces were newly built for the old yamen and the new yamen, namely the Legion River Court and the Red South Gate. After planning again, part of the Southern Garden will be used as a training ground for the troops.

As for the Emperor's hunting, there were many deer, hare, and elk in the garden, as well as rearing tigers for hunting purposes. At the same time, the Southern Garden was a forbidden garden, and there were almost no people living in the garden.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Southern Garden opened four gates to the Yuan. The north was the Da Hong Men, the south was the Da Hong Men, the east was the East Hong Men, and the west was the Da Hong Men.

The Big Red Gate, also known as the "North Red Gate", was the main entrance of the nine gates around the Southern Garden. It was also the only path that the Southern Garden had to take to get to the Everlasting School. However, there were originally only four gates, and due to the reasons for using them, there were now nine Southern Garden s, including the Little Red Gate.

Afterwards, they added the Jiaomen, which was used mainly when the emperor's servants who were heading to the Southern Garden to serve him wanted to enter and leave the Southern Garden.

Although the scale and construction of the Southern Garden met Fu Lin's requirements, but as the emperor, he would probably prefer to be unique. Since all Emperors were powerful and influential, their willfulness was reasonable as well.

The West Garden that Fu Lin had personally ordered to build had already been built ten years ago, but back then, the Empress Dowager of the Holy Emperor lived in the Forbidden City. No matter how dissatisfied Emperor Shun Zhi was with her own Frontier, he would never be willing to go against it.

Only, after meeting the Dong and E outside the imperial city for the past thirteen years, it seemed that Fu Lin had rebelled against his luck and arrived late. Fu Lin, who had always placed the empress dowager first, not only had to abolish the title of Empress as his own cousin, but he also had to make a woman whom the Empress Dowager of the Holy Emperor couldn't tolerate become his queen.

Naturally, the mother and son duo separated on bad terms. No matter how Empress Dowager of the Holy Emperor allowed it, he would never admit that his own son was actually disobedient to him because of a woman.

Then all of this could only be the fault of the bewitching Dong and E, who had blamed all of his mistakes on the demoness, Dong and E.

In the end, the emperor who couldn't let the Empress Dowager of the Holy Emperor take a step back could only move out of the imperial city, the Forbidden City. The Emperor lived in the western suburbs of West Garden.

There were some matters that the emperor had dealt with. Although the Empress Dowager of the Holy Emperor was still rejecting politics and the emperor, the empress dowager's prestige still remained. A few officials needed to report to the empress dowager.

No matter what, it was a journey of more than a hundred miles between the Imperial City's West Garden s. In these four years of time, practically all of them passed by like this for three years.

In the last year of the Southern Song Dynasty, when the two kingdoms were established, the imperial clan of the Warrick Kingdom had constructed the Supreme Pond and the Great Ning Palace in the northern half of West Garden. As one of the eight scenes of the Jin Dynasty, the Cheng De Liquid Pool was built because of the peculiar ripples of the wind and water in the lake.

When the Yuan Dynasty was at its peak, it enveloped the Supreme Pond into the Imperial City, and three groups of palaces were set up around it, namely, the Great Inner Sect, the Longfu Palace, and the Xing Sheng Palace.

However, although not all of the West Garden were built by the order of the Emperor, the final setting of the buildings in the West Garden began during the Ming Dynasty. After Ming Cheng Zu established his Yanjing, he started to build a new palace, the Ming Dynasty's palace moved south based on the location of the Yuan Dynasty's palace.

As a result, the walls of the imperial city also moved southward. In order to enrich the gardens of the imperial city, Emperor Yongle ordered the excavation of the South Sea within the West Garden.

In the end, the North Sea, Central Sea and South Sea that were dug out were collectively referred to as the "Supreme Liquid Pool", which was a part of the Imperial City West Garden s.

However, after the death of Emperor Chong Zhen, all the buildings in the Imperial City, especially the West Garden, were destroyed by the invading army. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the final building of the West Garden was all on the head of the Emperor Shun Zhi.

"The work department's letter wasn't wrong, but, no matter what, His Majesty's plan to build a garden was based on the foundation of the previous dynasty. This Tsinghua Garden was built by a marquis, which doesn't conform with the etiquette."

The Minister of Rites didn't approve. What kind of thing was it for the Emperor to pick up a garden left behind by Marquis Wu Qing? The Emperor was the Son of Heaven, and he had been respected since ancient times.

"What the Minister of Rites said was wrong. "Did I really not investigate it?" Hearing the retort from the Minister of Rites, Sa Muha did not like it.

The owner of the garden, Li Wei, was the father of Empress Dowager Li, the biological mother of Wan Li's Emperor Zhu Yijun. These were all information that the work department President had read and read before.

As a result, Li Wei's Tsinghua Garden was built on a grand scale and was extremely rich. Li Wei had power and wealth. Although the current Tsinghua Garden was a wasteland, no matter how you looked at it, it did not seem like it was something that could affect one's status.

Sa Muha flipped through a lot of information. According to the < Records of the Bright Spring Dream >, < Diary of the Clear Water Pavilion > and so on, the Tsinghua Garden Garden was extremely vast, with a circumference of ten miles.

The spring water of the western mountains was drawn into the lake in the garden, and the water surface took up more than half of the garden's area. Ming Shui Xuan's diary said: "Tsinghua Garden, from the front and back of the double lake, with a single glance, you will be first in the whole famous garden... In terms of water, to the north of the River Huai, it will also be considered as number one. "

It could be seen how magnificent the scenery of the entire Tsinghua Garden was when they were building the garden. The pavilions and pavilions in the garden were all ready. Climbing onto the balcony in the garden and looking west, one could see the beautiful scenery of the Western Mountain without restraint.

In addition to the many strange stones that came from the famous stone wall, Taihu Lake, and Jinchuan, there were also tens of millions of famous flowers within twenty miles of the Liudi. "Thousands of peony peonies, tens of thousands of peonies, and tens of thousands of peonies" was the name of Liudi Flower Sea.

"Everyone, tell me, is a garden like this really not worthy of being the Garden of Longevity?" The most important thing was that the Tsinghua Garden was not completely destroyed, and many of the stones could be used again.

"Then what about Dipper Garden? I wonder if the work department Minister has seen the current situation of Dipper Garden."

Although it was already like that in the end, but just when the conclusion was about to be set, although they did not expect Minister of the Civil Service to suddenly open his mouth.

The Minister of the Civil Service had always been in charge of managing the officials' records of achievement. This time, the emperor would let the Minister of the Civil Service participate in the assessment because if the work department needed to assign people, he would need to find the Minister of the Civil Service to arrange it.

This way, he could reduce the time and increase the efficiency. In the early years of the year, there were very few disagreements between work department and the Minister of the work department. After all, work department and Department of the Civil Service were like eight pillars that could not be crossed.

However, although what he said was true, it was not true. If that was the case, then he was wrong.

"Well, isn't Minister of the Civil Service making things difficult for us now?" This garden belongs to the painters of the Ming Dynasty. Doesn't Master Shang Shu feel that a mere painter like him can build a garden that is comparable to the garden of the previous generation? "

When the Minister of Rites had raised the topic and Sa Muha had kicked Minister of the Civil Service, Sa Muha was not afraid of getting in front of the Emperor.

No matter what, since he had suffered a loss in this matter, it was very clear that in Sa Muha's eyes, he was right.

After all, the owner of the ladle, Mi Wanzhong, was only a painter, what kind of thing was that?

"Sa Muha, what you are saying is not right, I know that Mi Wanzhong is an official in Shandong." Since Mi Wanzhong was already mentioned, Minister of the Civil Service would no longer hide.

"After all, Mi Wanzhong's brother, Mi Wanchun, has been taking the Martial Entrance Examination for nine years and is now a general in the Tong Zhou Empire."

"His younger brother Mi Wanfang is a military officer in the Embroidered Uniform Guard. As for Mi Wanzhong, he himself took the Imperial Examinations in the last twenty-three years and became a scholar. He was appointed to the orders of Yongning, Copper Beam, and Liu He County, and was soon promoted to the post of Jiangxi Investigator, becoming a political participant in Shandong Province. "

After this conversation, it was clear that Minister of the Civil Service did not agree with what Sa Muha said. Mi Wanzhong was just a painter.

"Yes, Mi Wanzhong took part in the political affairs of Shandong Province, but so what? In the end, from what I know, Mi Wanzhong got fired. "

Since Sa Muha was already able to move the Tsinghua Garden out for a matter, naturally the other gardens on the western outskirts of the city had already been considered.

It was just that, other than looking down on Sa Muha's identity, Sa Muha actually did not think much of Mi Wanzhong's so-called playground.

As an official, he could not single-mindedly act as a citizen. Even if he was called the so-called 'pure and honest man', it was only for the sake of his reputation.

A true official like Yu Shi Long shouldn't have a family fortune to wear after death; his only asset was a pair of official robes.

However, Mi Wanzhong was not like that, he had previously bought three mansions and gardens in the capital. Day Dipper Garden, in the western suburbs, day long garden, in the Deshengmen Accumulation Pool East. One day, at the base of the imperial city's western wall.

One must know that at that time, everyone liked to build gardens. Mi Wanzhong was only a seventh grade county magistrate, and he was only a fifth grade political participant in Shandong, so how could he have the money to set up three gardens?

Besides, Mi Wanzhong also had a hobby, he liked to play with stones. He was able to climb mountains and wade through the water. He was not afraid of hardships or dangers, and had only collected a large amount of strange-looking stones.

If it was before Mi Wanzhong took over the position, these hobbies would have been fine. However, after becoming a county magistrate, Mi Wanzhong was still like that. How could such a county magistrate work for the common people?
