Chapter 6: Tengwang Pavilion

Nanchang is bordered by the Ganjiang River in the north and Poyang Lake in the northwest. The Ganjiang River is here to inject this ocean-like lake. And Jiangxi also has a title of Ganzhou because of this water. Ganzhou is a good place. In fact, which one is not a good place in this world? Heroes everywhere! Although Ganzhou also refers to a place in the south of Jiangxi, some people still call Ganzhou the whole territory of the Ganjiang River.

The Ganjiang River is also one of the important tributaries of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The source Zhangshui, which is located in the south of the Yangtze River and north of the Nanling, comes from Dayuling, which is adjacent to the southern part of Jiangxi Province. Dongyuan Gongshui comes from Ganyuan in Shicheng County, Wuyishan District, Jiangxi Province, and is collectively known as the Ganjiang River in Ganzhou. The north flows through Wan'an, Taihe, Ji'an, Jishui, Xiajiang, Xingan, Qingjiang and Fengcheng to Nanchang and flows into Poyang Lake, and then leaks into the Yangtze River. There are many reefs and dangerous beaches in the middle and upper reaches, and the water flow is rapid. The downstream river is wide and sandy. The main tributaries are Xinjiang, Jinjiang, etc. Navigation is available below Ganzhou. It is the transportation link between the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and Guangdong. The eastern source of Ganshui is the source of the Ganjiang River, which comes from Wuyi Mountain and is formed by the confluence of Mianshui and Xiangshui. Xiyuan Zhangshui comes out of Dayuling. After the converging in Ganzhou City, the two waters of Zhang and Gong flowed tortuate north, through Ji'an, Zhangshu and Fengcheng City to Nanchang, and divided into four tributaries into Poyang Lake.

A few days later, Cao Muwen saw that although it was still cold in this day, the previous cold wind actually revealed the rare sun. Cao Muwen was very happy to see that he planned to report to Jinyiwei Qianhu, located in the northwest of Nanchang City today. Specifically, it is a visit to experience. Swinging on the street, walking to a slightly higher place and looking at the past from afar, the sparkling and difficult achievement is Poyang Lake.

"Some time ago, I looked at the floating ice on the edge of the lake bay, but I didn't expect that the sun had melted. After all, it is the boundary of the south of the Yangtze River. Unlike the current north, it will not be cold to go there. Cao Muwen sighed in his heart that it was still warmer here.

Along the way, there are still many pedestrians on the street. Although it is winter, the end of the year has passed, and everyone still has to go out to make a living. After all, it is too unrealistic for the general public to eat old capital for a month. Even Cao Muwen, he is also a little shy now. Although the money he will get in the future "here" - although he hasn't fished much at all - has been brought, he still feels that he has spent too much money.

"Well, there are no banks here. Securities can't be overdrawn or invested. I will definitely make a lot of money to pay it back in the future. Cao Muwen suddenly had this idea. Really! I'm a hundred households of Jinyiwei. He is also a person at the same level as Wu Zheng!" Cao Muwen suddenly felt a sense of achievement. This Jinyiwei Baihu is also a six-grade position. Although it was a martial arts position - after all, it was more important than martial arts in the Ming Dynasty - but the martial arts profession of Jinyiwei was different from the general military martial arts profession. This is a secret service. What's more, Wu Zheng, Cao Muwen and others have always been subordinate to Nanzhen Fusi, and they also have the same responsibilities as modern gendarmes. Although Cao Muwen has never said that he has a colleague to do this, he still knows clearly that he has this "right"?

"Do you really have it?" Cao Muwen himself was also a little suspicious. He walked past a sentry post, where three soldiers were standing with wooden guns that were not much thicker than their fingers. They all look boring. Cao Muwen had the intention to tease them, but suddenly he gave up. After all, he was not a good person to look for trouble. He thinkes that his current identity can suppress these cannon fodder-level soldiers, but isn't he cannon fodder? I was a fart person more than a year ago, and now I have become a minor official, and I should be more cautious about my words and deeds. People in a foreign country still make more friends and less uncomfortable.

Cao Muwen is a person who doesn't like to bully others. When it comes to a sense of justice, he doesn't have much, but he doesn't like those who are not good people to bully others. If you really want to bully people, you have to have the ability, but most of the bullies are also in the ability, just pretending to be a tiger and a dog to fight for human power. This is Cao Muwen's early conclusion from that "*". What's more, he finally fell into his hands.

Secretly looked at a few soldiers, who did not seem to be more than 20 years old. Judging from Cao Muwen, many people should still be children. With a childish face, the executioner standing stupidly in the winter sun seems to have meaningless work, and may be able to take the military uniforms of several companions. After all, this is also a job. Cao Muwen knew that these soldiers may have been honest peasant children yesterday, and today they have become soldiers with no combat effectiveness. One day, they may be confused than their superiors and pushed them to the battlefield and become cannon fodder.

Hi! Why do you want this? Cao Muwen shook his head, and it seemed that his nonsense had not changed. I didn't have a chance to think nonsense after being run around for days, but now I'm finally safe, so my brain is restless.

Cao Muwen left the over-flowing street and chose a bypass, which didn't seem to be many people. From here, as long as you look northwest, you can see Poyang Lake, which is like the sea.

"Here...it's a nice scenery." Cao Muwen sighed in his heart. Peasant woman, mountain spring, a little field. Although it is not this, the scenery here is very consistent with this spirit - Cao Muwen thought nonsense in his heart.

Nanchang is really a good place. Even in winter, the temperature here will naturally not be as dry as in the north, and because it is close to such a large lake, the water vapor blowing from the lake will naturally become wet on the shore. Cao Muwen praised that the Jinyiwei colleagues here really enjoyed it. Unlike the Jinyi Health Office of Beijing, even the headquarters is suppressed in a very remote and horrible alleyway. When Cao Muwen went there for the first time, he inevitably had a sneaky feeling. Admittedly, the people's temple in the capital is big, and he is a person in the local area. When he arrives in the capital, he is nothing. Drop a flower pot and hit ten people. Nine of them must be big members, and the rest are also outsiders. It seems that Wu Zheng wanted to jump out of the capital so much. I was very puzzled before, but now I feel the big thing. Cao Muwen now feels that he is young and inexperienced. It turned out that when he saw the old man Wu shrinking his head in the capital, he behaved a little when he arrived in the north. It seems that there are too many senior officials gathered around, which will form an invisible pressure!"

After a short time, Cao Muwen saw a group of buildings. It seems that the repair is exquisite. Although it is not as beautiful as the officials in the city, it is exquisitely carved and the layout is its characteristic. Although it seems that they are all houses, Cao Muwen noticed that one side facing the street is covered by many tall walls and houses in front of the courtyard. From Cao Muwen's current position, you can see the slightly lower houses in the north, but most of them are still covered by high and low eaves, which is not very real.

"The block is very tight." Cao Muwen said a very practical word of appreciation. This is a good place by the mountains and rivers. There are some hills in the east, which are just surrounded by the wall of the official office. This is also the territory of Jinyiwei.

Walk to a slightly higher part of a hill and look around. Fortunately, there are not many people now, otherwise it would be misunderstood to see such a strange person in front of the Jinyi Health Office at this time.

Cao Muwen looked around and was suddenly shocked.

"That's it! Isn't that?" Cao Muwen thought carefully, "Yes! It turned out to be here!"

Just as far away, on the shore of Poyang Lake, a tall pavilion suddenly appeared in front of him. Cao Muwen was surprised and thought it was a mirage.

It turned out that Cao Muwen got up early, because the sun rose late in winter, so when Cao Muwen went out, there was no light, so that he did not find this world-famous landscape - Tengwang Pavilion.

When Cao Muwen came to the hill, because the time was just right, the light at sunrise passed the early fog caused by the humid air of Poyang Lake and dispelled the fog that made the surrounding scenery clean in an instant. This huge pavilion, which was still hidden in the fog, suddenly appeared in front of him like a magician doing magic, which made him suddenly feel a sense of enlightenment after thinking carefully.

It is known as the "three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River" together with the Yellow Crane Tower in Hubei and Yueyang Tower in Hunan. Because Wang Bo, a talented son in the early Tang Dynasty, wrote the "Tengwang Pavilion Preface" made him the first in the world to be famous in the third floor, so it is also known as the first of the "three famous buildings in Jiangnan".

Tengwang Pavilion was founded by Li Yuanying, the son of Tang Gaozu, when he was the governor of Hongzhou. Li Yuanying was born in the emperor's family and was influenced by the palace life. "work, calligraphy and painting, wonderful rhythm, like butterflies, choose Fangzhu to travel, ride the green sparrow, and sing and dance in the pavilion." According to historical records, in the third year of Yonghui, when Li Yuanying moved to Suzhou as the governor and was transferred to the governor of Hongzhou, he brought a class of songs and dances from Suzhou and feasted songs and dances in the governor's office all day long. Later, Linjiang built this pavilion as a separate residence, which is actually a place for singing and dancing. Because Li Yuanying was crowned in Tengzhou, Shandong Province during the Zhenguan period, he became the king of Teng, and built an attic in Tengzhou named "Tengwang Pavilion". Later, Li Yuanying, the king of Teng, was transferred to Hongzhou, south of the Yangtze River, and built a luxury pavilion still named "Tengwang Pavilion", which was later known as the Tengwang Pavilion.

Speaking of this, Cao Muwen knew it when he was very young. In fact, basically, no kid who received exam-oriented education in junior high school Chinese class didn't know that the Chinese teacher asked him to recite the "Tengwang Pavilion Preface" that he didn't know how many times? I haven't seen the modern Tengwang Pavilion, but this famous article that has been recited through the ages is very familiar.
