Located in the south of Ma Shiqiao and west of Taipingqiao Street, west of the Xisi Archway in Beiping, the Shuncheng Palace was originally owned by Luck Dehun, a descendant of Daishan, the Prince of Li. It was originally Luck Dehun of Lord Beile to pacify the Nanming regime.
The achievement of recruiting and surrendering Li Zicheng's remaining troops was recognized by the Qing Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty.
Feng Shuncheng County Prince. Since Daishan belonged to the Zhenghong Banner of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, he was given the right to build a palace on the right wing of the palace, which is the west of the capital. After the completion of the palace, it has magnificent carved beams and painted buildings, covering an area of about 3,000 square meters.
, and immediately became a major sight in Beijing.
The palace is divided into three roads: east, middle and west. The middle road has the same specifications as other palaces, including the gate, second gate, wing, Yin'an hall, dormitory hall, back building, etc. The west road and the east road are composed of different large and small courtyards respectively.
Composition. According to the system of the Qing Dynasty, there should be a large stone lion in front of the main entrance of the palace.
A pair, only this Shuncheng Palace has no lions, and no trees are planted in front of the main hall of other palaces. Only there are four tall catalpa trees in front of the main hall of Shuncheng Palace, and there are also the same two big catalpa trees in Dongsuo.
Its crown of branches can be seen far away from the house.
Marshal Zhang Xueliang is of medium height, thin body, handsome appearance and talented, and is known as one of the four beauties of the contemporary era. Under normal circumstances, he does not wear breeches and boots like the generals around him, but prefers a very well-fitting yellow general uniform.
, which looks neat and simple, yet elegant and free. At this moment, An Yi, who is walking side by side with the young marshal, is wearing a silver-gray suit, with a tall figure and a natural smile, which makes him look young and mature.
The young marshal gently stopped in front of the main hall of the east hall, looked up at the lush tree crowns in the autumn wind, stretched out his right hand, picked up a falling dead leaf, and looked down at it with emotion:
"It's late autumn, and the leaves on the trees will return to the loess in a few days. Ten years ago, Brother Yu was still an ignorant boy. When he came to the mansion bought by his father for the first time, he was very curious about these catalpa trees. He heard from the craftsmen in the mansion that
It is said that these trees were planted in the Ming Dynasty. They are unique among all the palaces in Beiping City. Other palaces usually use one side door to exit.
For example, during the day, only the west door of Prince Li's Mansion is open, only the east door of Prince Zheng's Mansion is open, and only the east and west doors of Shuncheng Prince's Mansion are open. Except for carriages and horses, ordinary pedestrians can pass through, so nearby
People call this place 'Chuantang Mansion'. Our family has lived here for more than ten years and has maintained this tradition, but things have changed now."
An Yi looked up at the whirling tree crown more than 20 meters high. Through the dense branches and leaves, he felt that the sky was so blue and clear. The setting sun cast a soft golden glow on the treetops, and the faint singing of birds could be heard.
The refreshing breeze carried the fragrance of the trees and surrounding young leaves and calyxes. Such beautiful scenery was in great contrast to the young commander's desolate mood at the moment.
In the early morning, An Yi entered the palace under the escort of the young marshal's trusted guards. Only twelve hours had passed. After a restrained luncheon of mutual testing, a frank talk in the afternoon and a grand banquet in the evening, An Yi
The distance between him and the young commander gradually narrowed.
The moment they met each other, An Yi always felt that the young marshal next to him was too weak. His handsome face was a little pale, and under the long eyebrows on his beautiful high nose, his eyes always seemed a little melancholic, but because of this
It gives people a sense of elegance, sincerity and trust.
An Yi didn't know what impression he had left on the young marshal. After hearing the young marshal's recollections and sighs, he looked up and couldn't help but turn his head and stare into the young marshal's eyes.
The young marshal smiled rather self-deprecatingly, gently took An Yi, and walked to the lotus pond at the back together: "I don't know why, I would say this to my virtuous brother, is it difficult for me to grow old before my time? Haha... listen...
It is said that the southern Sichuan conquered by the wise brother is full of green mountains and beautiful waters, and the scenery is picturesque. There are no cold storms and snow in the north, and there are no
With the chill of autumn in the north, the four seasons are full of greenery like spring, the mountain flowers are blooming, and the people's customs are simple. Especially after An Laodi came to power, all industries prospered and developed rapidly. People lived and worked in peace and contentment, and they flocked to the surrounding areas. It was called the Peach Blossom Land by major newspapers today.
It’s a fairyland on earth, I wonder how Brother An did all this?”
Several adjutants and attendants around the young marshal also looked at An Yi with smiles, and seemed to be very interested in the development of southern Sichuan.
An Yi smiled slightly and replied in a low voice: "Most of the reporters from the newspaper are friends of the younger brother. Every time they come to southern Sichuan to collect news, a group of brothers will greet me with good food and drink, so they try their best to help the younger brother when they have nothing to do.
Bragging, but in fact, where is such a good place in this world?"
The commander on the side smiled knowingly after hearing this. The young marshal also experienced An Yi's frankness today. Now that he heard An Yi's truth, a rare smile appeared on his face, making his pale handsome face more charming.
of anger.
An Yi said as he walked: "To talk about it, the legendary Peach Blossom Spring should be Xiangxi under the rule of senior Zhang Hongluan. I have been there a few times. It is indeed beautiful. It is much more lively and profound than the scenery in southern Sichuan. It is really spotless and beautiful.
It’s so suffocating, it’s like being in a fairyland on earth, and you won’t want to leave!”
"It's breathtakingly beautiful... It's such a vivid and unique metaphor that I want to see it with my own eyes. However, I think my dear brother is still a little too modest. Southern Sichuan is adjacent to Western Hunan, so I guess it won't be much inferior, right?"
The young marshal was in high spirits and seemed to be in a much better mood.
An Yi replied with a smile: "What's so good about my southern Sichuan? It's probably the endless green. In the words of Ms. Ye Qing, a beautiful reporter from the Central News Agency, it's the mountains, the waves of the bamboo sea, the towering ancient trees, the chirping of birds, and the fragrance of flowers."
What I value more is what Brother Han Qing just mentioned, the simplicity of the people. It is precisely because of this that I have struggled for several years to achieve something, but I am still a hundred and eighty thousand short of the goal set by the brothers.
Thousands of miles away.
"For me, the North Country has the scenery of the North Country. Ever since I entered the Central Plains, especially Shandong, the endless plains have opened my mind. This is a majestic momentum that can only be experienced but cannot be expressed. Only this
The momentum has given birth to a thousand-year civilization inheritance. I have never been to Northeast China, but I learned from many information
I understand that white mountains and black waters have their own majesty and beauty. Take the ice and snow as an example. In the south, there is rarely a vast and far-reaching sky and earth covered in silver. If you really want to compare the scenery, the north is a strong and upright man, while the south is graceful.
A graceful and graceful girl, haha! Please forgive me for not having read a few books, so I am just trying to master my skills..."
"My dear brother, you are so humble. What you said expresses an artistic conception that many people can only understand but cannot express. It is very in line with my wishes. It is very in line with my wishes!" The young marshal smiled while stroking his hands, and his favorable impression of An Yi instantly improved a lot:
"After taking a bath and taking a rest later, Brother Yu will serve wine in the back garden and talk again. In the past two years, people from all over the country have been reciting songs composed and composed by Brother Xian. Even the gramophones in Fengtian and Peiping have been playing them day and night. Today, You must listen to my dear brother's beautiful voice in the evening, otherwise my dear brother will get busy or leave in a hurry. Wouldn't he miss the opportunity and become a great regret in his life?"
An Yi humbly agreed, returned to the Xiyuan Guesthouse, took a shower, sat down quietly and smoked silently.
After Shen Fengdao finished bathing, he put on his general uniform, sat down opposite An Yi, picked up the teapot on the Eight Immortals table and poured An Yi a cup of tea:
"When you and the young marshal broke up just now, I noticed that the young marshal's eyes were wandering and he seemed to be uneasy. After a closer look, I found that he was addicted to smoking. If you can persuade him, you'd better find an opportunity to persuade him to quit smoking. , this can’t go on like this! He has depression in his chest, his eyelids are heavy, and his steps are floating and his roots are green. If he doesn’t quit smoking, his essence will be gone in a few years, and he will be riddled with all kinds of diseases. By then it will be too late to make up for it.”
"Do you have any idea?" An Yi asked.
Shen Fengdao shook his head: "This addiction to cigarettes is completely different from ordinary illnesses. In your words, it is a psychological dependence on tobacco. This is a heart disease that cannot be cured by ordinary drugs."
An Yi sighed slightly: "How do you want me to speak? I'm a newbie here. I've been famous for several years before I met him today. I used to have tit-for-tat with him in the newspaper. How could I be so abrupt? In the afternoon, I was talking to the general of the Northeast Army. As you saw during the meeting, there are many civil servants and generals around the young marshal, and none of them are ordinary people. Among them are General Zhang Zuoxiang, who is respected by the young marshal as his auxiliary commander, and General Tang Yulin, who is called uncle by the young marshal. , they were all Marshal Zhang’s brothers before his death, and with their prestige and knowledge, they couldn’t persuade the Marshal to quit opium, let alone a young outsider like me, so I’d better not bring trouble on myself.”
Shen Fengdao thought of the polite faces and unconcealed defensive looks of a group of old guys in the afternoon. He sighed and asked in a low voice: "When I saw you entering the venue this afternoon, my eyes stopped on the face of a young and upright colonel next to me. A moment, acquaintance?"
"I don't know him. It's the first time for so many people to see him. But I saw that the man was quite handsome, so I took another look. Let's go out for a walk. The wind in Peiping at night is quite comfortable. "
An Yi stood up and pulled Shen Fengdao out of the door. He looked around as if nothing had happened and they walked leisurely together: "It's not easy to talk in there... Although I know that young colonel, this is the first time I've seen him. When it comes to talking about it, you must be... Got it, Wu Liang’s sworn brother Li Hansong.”
Shen Fengdao's eyebrows trembled: "I understand, no wonder the surprise in his eyes flashed away when he first saw you. I didn't expect this kid to be so successful and able to participate in such an important meeting... Let's put it this way, we will be here tomorrow at the latest Can we know the attitude of the veterans of the Northeast Army?"
"No, we must not contact Han Song at this juncture, let alone show any strange behavior to him. Senior Brother Zhao Rui and Liu Qing will arrive tomorrow morning and ask Liu Qing to go to Huafeng Trading Company in Wuliang to get information. We must not If you have any involvement with Hansong, you will not only risk losing all your previous efforts, but you will also make enemies and become an extremely disgusting person for the Northeast Army, let alone talk about sincere cooperation to fight the Japanese together." An Yi said in a low voice.
"Do Zhao Rui and Liu Qing know his existence?" Shen Fengdao asked thoughtfully.
An Yi shook his head: "I only know there, even the elder brother Cheng Zhu, Brother Jinlong and Beard, who often linked to each station in the north. Others such as age, appearance, official position, family do not know. "
Shen Fengdao nodded with confidence: "This is good."
An Yi thought about it and wanted to ask: "When we gave Shalea two boxes of firearms today as gifts, what are the abnormalities in those veterans in the army?"
"The general response is relatively normal. Except for the young handsome, the Shenyang arsenal may be associated with the moment of loss. It is that General Tang Yulin asked a few more words. It seemed that he didn't look at our gifts, but don't don't don't The generals who love to put it down, sigh. Think about it carefully. I found that although General Tang's appearance was majestic and respected, the person's voice was scattered and his gas was insufficient. The eyes are very different. According to my experience, this kind of person is usually a man who is in the outside world but is suspicious. On the other hand, General Zhang Zuoxiang is very different. In the species, it is worthy of respect. "Shen Fengdao said his views.
An Yi smiled slightly: "I agree with this opinion! If it wasn't very confidential, just invite Uncle Tao, and the uncle's poisonous eyes can see it through. We can save a lot of things!"
Shen Fengdao was also happy. Seeing the young handsome deputy and guards greeted from a distance, Shen Fengdao quickly reminded An Yi in a low voice.
The two knew that Shao Shuai had a request, and greeted them quickly, and they followed the deputy guard to walk out of the Western Hospital.
