Where is the hometown of He Kun, an ancient corrupt official?
Gong Wangfu was built in the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, and was originally the private residence of the scholar Xiao Shenyang. In the early years of Tongzhi, the third-generation master here, Prince Gong, was single-minded, and held important positions such as reviewing the king and minister of military aircraft. He held a lot of power and was once prominent. At the same time, he also repaired and rebuilt the mansion. It was at that time that the scale and pattern of the palace buildings we saw finally took shape.
The first half of Gongwangfu is a magnificent mansion, and the second half is a deep and beautiful classical garden with a total area of nearly 60,000 square meters. Its mansion building is solemn and solemn, and it is still simple to go to China, with its cloisters and ridges, which is magnificent, second only to the palace where the emperor lived. The Cui Jin Garden behind the mansion is surrounded by mountains and waters, with towering old trees and pavilions, which are rich and natural; During this period, the scenery is changeable and the opening and closing are orderly, which is really a model of garden architecture in China.
According to the existing literature, there was a large-scale temple in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, which was located on the west bank of Qianhai in Beijing and surrounded by "Dragon Water". Incense is strong, tourists are weaving, and even the emperor comes here to worship Buddha. Around the middle of the 16th century, temples were gradually abandoned and became supply factories for the Ming court. After the Qing Dynasty entered Beijing, a number of courtyards of different sizes were built here for ordinary banners such as the Ministry of Interior to live in.
Forty years before and after Qianlong, Shenyang, which was red and purple in front of the emperor, fell in love with this treasure trove of geomantic omen, which was surrounded by water, far away from the western hills and not far from the "emperor's home", so he bought many properties here at a high price and built the famous "river bank".
Give it to Lin Yong.
In the forty-first year of Qianlong (1776), Xiao Shenyang began to build his luxurious mansion in this place, which is located in the east of Qianhai and backed by Houhai. It is said that during the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, Li Guang, the great eunuch, took this as the first step. On the third day of the first month of Jiaqing four years, Taizong died. The next day, Jiaqing deprived Xiao Shenyang's military minister and nine magistrates of their posts and copied his home. It is estimated that the total wealth is worth about 820 million silver, which is equivalent to the fiscal revenue of the Qing government for fifteen years. Therefore, there is a saying that "small Shenyang falls, Jiaqing is full." On the 18th day of the first month of the same year,1February 22nd, 799, Xiao Shenyang was ordered to commit suicide. The house itself, however, belongs to the younger brother, Prince Qing Xuan, who loves luxury houses rather than mountains and rivers.
