It’s the annual holiday, but the preparatory work for the court has not completely stopped. At least the Ministry of Industry has started building the Supreme Court office outside Dapingmen.
Taipingmen is one of the back gates of Nanjing City. After exiting Taipingmen in the north, there is Purple Mountain to the east and Xuanwu Cave to the west.
Legend has it that in ancient times there were four great mythical beasts guarding the four directions: the green dragon in the east, the white tiger in the west, the red bird in the south, and the black basalt in the north. The Xuanwu Gate of the imperial palaces in the past dynasties refers to the back door of the palace. Xuanwu Lake is also called Xuanwu Lake because it is located in the north of Nanjing.
When Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Liu Bowen to build the city of Nanjing, the palace city, various divisions, and city gates were built to correspond to the stars in the sky, and the Xuanwu Lake outside Taipingmen corresponded to the Tianlao stars.
Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the three departments involved in punishment and prisons, were not listed on the two sides of the Qianbu Corridor of the Royal Street like other departments, but were built outside the Taiping Gate.
From time to time, Zhu Yuanzhang would tell his ministers, "I am watching the Tianlao Star in the palace. If there is a strange phenomenon in Tianlao, it means that there must be grievances in the Three Law Divisions, then I will..."
Just do it, needless to say, it is enough to scare the ministers, Zhu Papi is none other than!
Qin Mu followed Zhu Papi's wishes and placed the Three Law Divisions outside the Taiping Gate. Now that there was an additional High Court, they were also placed outside the Taiping Gate. Maybe he would also occasionally watch the sky and look at the Tianlao stars...
"Xiangjun, I'm here to test you. Do you know where the Tianlao Star is? If you answer correctly, you will get a prize."
"Your Majesty, this is Tianlao Star." On the observation deck of the harem, Li Xiangjun stood pretty under the lamp, looking at the starry night sky, wearing a palace skirt, fluttering in the night wind, like an immortal fairy.
Ahem, the Emperor of Qin wants to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang to observe the sky at night, this is it. You have to figure out where Tianlao Star is first. He followed what Li Xiangjun was counting on. In the sky full of stars, he couldn't figure out which one she was referring to.
"Xiangjun, don't try to fool me, which star are you referring to?" Qin Mu coughed twice, looking like an examiner.
"Your Majesty, which one is it? There are six stars in Tianlao. No, this is not it. It is located in Ziwei Yuan. A total of six stars make up Tianlao. "Historical Records. Tianguan Shu" contains: The Red Emperor's virtues , the heavenly prison is empty. The Cang Emperor behaves virtuously, and the heavenly gate is opened. There is a saying that the four stars in the circle are the prison of nobles. . . ”
Six? Ahem, isn't it... There are six Tianlao stars
The Emperor Qin's face was purple. Who made the six heavenly prison stars? He didn't explain clearly first. It made me think that there is only one Tianlao star... Isn't this a lie
"Xiangjun, are you sure?"
"Your Majesty, you... Hee hee, Your Majesty asked which one is which. Your Majesty, don't you think that the Heavenly Lao Star is just one?"
"Who said that? I'm testing you. You got the answer right this time. What reward do you want?"
"Does Your Majesty really want to reward Nunu?"
Li Xiangjun is beautiful and radiant under the lamp, her skirt is dancing in the wind, she is truly beautiful. Just now. Her expression was obviously a bit threatening, and she smiled like a charming little fox.
"Jun Wuxi, tell me, what do you want?"
"Hehe... The reward that Nunu wants is, Your Majesty, tell Nunu, do you know..."
"Ahem, Mr. Xiang, I suddenly remembered a poem. Would you like Mr. Xiang to listen to it?" Emperor Qin quickly changed the subject. All the time, whenever he mentioned poetry, he could immediately draw Li Xiangjun's attention away. He had tried and failed. Now in a hurry, Emperor Qin used his trump card again.
"Okay, okay, does your Majesty have another masterpiece? Please recite it quickly. I am listening attentively."
Emperor Qin suddenly realized that he had tricked himself this time. In a hurry, let alone writing poems, he couldn't even think of a suitable one. But Haikou had already boasted, so it was hard to say that he had no poems at this time. .
If you come up with a poem soon, it would be strange if this ghostly girl Li Xiangjun doesn't go back to Tianlao Star. The anxious Emperor Qin had no choice but to recite randomly:
"In the past, when I was full of arrogance, I often laughed at Wang Can. If I wanted to cut catechism, I thought it was just the late master who was sentimental.
Occasionally, when I fall in love with a building, I say frankly: Oh, that’s youth.
Tonight, the wind is as calm as a rope tying a boat, tying up time. Yue is speechless - what can I say? In this night when everything is missing.
The moon waxes and wanes, which is difficult to do in ancient times. It’s time to thank the poet for his compassion.
Tonight, the night is as deep as a bottomless well, trapping time and the moon is speechless - to whom can I say it? In this night when everything is missing.
It's late at night, why can't I sleep? It's just because I love to create a dream of going back, but I'm afraid of evil spirits, so I have no basis for waking up! "
After hearing this, Li Xiangjun was a little stunned.
Tonight is December 20th. A cold moon hangs in the sky. The magnificent palaces of the Daqin Palace are a little darker in the night. The stars are twinkling. The night wind is cold. On the viewing platform, the clothes are fluttering in the night wind. The skirt is like a veil floating in the night sky.
"This... is the poem written by His Majesty?" Li Xiangjun was a little unsure, although things that happened to Qin Mu were always weird, and this poem... could it be called a poem? ? But if you say it is not a poem, if you look at it carefully, it has profound meaning.
"Hahaha, this was not done by me, but by a man named Feng Zikai. What do you think, Mr. Xiang?"
"Feng Zikai? Who is this person? Why haven't Nunu heard of him?"
"In my opinion, this man is a great person. As for who he is, you don't need to ask more about this Mr. Xiang."
"Your Majesty, the Six Stars of Tianlao..."
"Ahem!" Emperor Qin suddenly choked, and then said: "Xiangjun, I have another poem, do you want to listen to it?"
"If you want to listen, if you want to listen, your majesty, come and recite it quickly. Nunu continues to listen attentively, hee hee..."
"Well..."
"Well, Your Majesty, that six-star Tianlao..."
"Yes!" Emperor Qin roared, then immediately stretched out his sleeves and chanted: "Ocean! That star has no light? That flower has no fragrance? That time, my thoughts did not have your waves. The clear sound?”
"Your Majesty, is this the end?" Li Xiangjun's bright eyes flashed.
"It's over." Qin Mu was stunned. Isn't this poem good? I think it's very good.
"Your Majesty, I still think that prison was worth six stars..."
"You stinky girl, how dare you blackmail me? What if I don't know that Tianlao is composed of six stars? I won't be blackmailed by you this time. Come here and see how I deal with you!"
The Emperor of Qin instantly transformed into a werewolf under the moon. He rushed forward and pressed the beauty against the railing of the platform. Li Xiangjun cradled her head in his arms and kept laughing: "Your Majesty, spare this slave." Come on, slave, slave, I don’t dare anymore, I won’t dare anymore, hee hee... Your Majesty, please spare your life..."
You can spare your life, but you can't escape the crime of living. Emperor Qin Mu must wipe out some oil and water, leaving the beauty panting.
By the way, he just wanted to find out where the Heavenly Lao Star is tonight. He wanted to lay the groundwork first so that he could scare the ministers later. He pretended to be quite similar at first, but who knew that the Heavenly Lao Star was not a star, but six stars? What a star! His legs are really exposed. His ugliness is really exposed. Fortunately, he is thick-skinned.
In such a starry night, Qin Mu got interested and simply sent Dong Xiaowan, Bian Yujing, and Liu Rushi over, then set up a stove on the high platform, heated up wine and food, and listened to the beauty playing the flute and playing the harp.
Speaking of the emperor, it is normal for him to spend the night with wine and beautiful women.
In this regard, Qin Mu is really a little abnormal. He rarely does such things. Li Xiangjun and others have talents, but they rarely have the opportunity to show them. They really let down a lot of good times and beautiful scenery.
This night was a rare opportunity. Dong Xiaowan and others came on stage one after another. They danced in fairy clothes under the moon, and sent Yingge gracefully in front of the wind. Even Liu Rushi happily performed a qin song. She was beautiful and delicate, playing the qin with her jade fingers and playing the sandalwood mouth softly. Song:
A piece of spring sadness is waiting for the wine to be poured, the boat is rocking on the river, and the curtains are moving upstairs.
Qiuniangdu and Tainiang Bridge, the wind is blowing and the rain is rustling.
When will I return home and wash my guest robes? The silver words will be played with Sheng music, and the heart words will be burned with incense.
The flowing light can easily throw people away, the cherries are red and the bananas are green...
puff! When Qin Mu heard this, he spit out a mouthful of wine. Why is this word so familiar? Hey, that doesn’t seem to be the case. Aren’t the grapes purple and the bananas ripe
Dong Xiaowan and others didn't know what was going on, so they all asked with concern: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Even Liu Rushi stopped playing the piano and looked at him anxiously, not knowing what he had done wrong.
