Chapter 583 Ending: The Founding Fathers
Two hundred years later.
At the foot of Capitol Hill, groups of tourists lined up with a little impatiently, and this was the case when the meals were on here every September. The court was no longer surprised. Fortunately, most of the tour guides here have received professional training and basic patience is still OK.
"Okay, the faces of the people on Capitol Hill you see now are the legendary appearance of our founding ancestors. The middle one is the grandfather of the Congress, and the ones on both sides are Cao Bin and Zhao Guangmei. It's very spectacular, right? The currency we are currently using, the hundred-dollar bills are printed based on this portrait and after the ratio is reduced."
"It is said that when the Capitol Hill was carved, I wanted to put the wise man Sun Yue in the middle, but at that time, Sun Gong believed that the father and son should not steal the limelight together, so the entire outside of Capitol Hill was not a statue of Yue Gong."
The people of the Song Dynasty were naturally familiar with this history and could not be familiar with it anymore. Most of these tour guides were talking to foreign tourists. Many tourists with good economic conditions had taken out bulky cameras to take pictures. After all, Sun Yue was not only a sage of the Song Dynasty, but also a sage of the world.
Although this guy is also the pioneer of the great voyage of sin, and there are rumors that he is the culprit of invasion of Japan and that he must be at least half of his responsibility in the 50-year history of the suffering of Japan, this still does not affect the admiration of him by international friends.
"If you want to see Yue Gong's heroic posture, please come with me."
"Yuegong promoted the capitalist revolution almost by himself and set an example. This is why we live freely. When we lived until we were 107 years old, the first camera was invented in the world. He took the only precious photo of Yuegong's life for the four generations of Yuegong's family and the first precious photo in the world. Because the negatives have long been lost, this photo is currently stored on the top floor of the Museum of History of the Great Song Empire. It can be regarded as a treasure of the museum. What you are getting now is the textiles of this photo, but it can still be seen from this photo that Yuegong was so handsome when he was young."
"Mr. Yue's life is extremely legendary, but it is difficult to verify its origin. It is said that no one knows his past before he was eight years old. Even his father, Duke Chunming, had a blank experience when he was young. The current historical community is generally divided into two parts: Youzhou School and Guanzhong School. There is also a relatively niche statement. It is that their father and son are from the Bohai Kingdom and are descendants of the Bohai Kingdom royal family. There are Khitan documents to testify, but most historians believe that this should be forged by the Khitans."
"Come here, please, what you see now is the portrait of my group of 72 sages of the Song Dynasty. The only one that is spent on the ceiling is Yue Gong. What is captured on this is the scene of his triumphant success after regaining Yan Yun. At that time, Yue Gong held more than two-thirds of the elite national forces in his hands and had an unparalleled personal prestige, but he returned the army to us without hesitation. Two hundred years have passed. Even now, the Song army still maintains the tradition and belief of being loyal to the country and never being loyal to the individual. In order to commemorate this moment, the people of the Song Dynasty have specially recorded this historical moment forever here."
"Please. The murals you see now are painted by the famous painter Li Cheng spent his whole life. The birth of the Constitution is also called the sacred moment. Most historical circles also believe that this is the beginning of Yuegong and Meigong reconciling, letting go of prejudice and embracing trust for the sake of the country and the people, and it is also the beginning of the Song Dynasty's transition from a person-system to a legal system. The people of the Song Dynasty will always remember this moment."
"Of course, there are also rumors that when Yuegong and Meigong established the Constitution, they had just returned from drinking the flower wine. Some people even said that the two sages ordered the same girl at that time."
Everyone burst into laughter.
"Okay, what you see next is the most important painting on Capitol Hill, called the birth of the House of Representatives, also called the abdication of the sages. We must know that the members of the House of Representatives do not include our founding sages, but here the painters skillfully painted Yuegong, Minggong, Meigong, Bingong and others on the ceiling to show the attention and attention of the founding sages to the House of Representatives. And from the perspective of position, this painting actually uses a large number of statues of gods. Of course, I know that in the hearts of many people, the status of the founding sages is basically equivalent to that of gods."
"Look here, this is the scene of the son of Yue Gong, Sun Hao, and the granddaughter of Mei Gong. Standing next to Yue Gong is Murong Yan, the leader of the feminist movement. Many people in the historical community believe that this is the source of the true harmony and different spirit of the Song Dynasty. However, some historians believe that Yue Gong did not participate at this time because he was still having a quarrel with Mei Gong."
"It is said that in the later years of Meigong and Yuegong, the relationship was very stiff, but the historical community generally believed that Yuegong's body became ill after Meigong's death. It is said that the two met at the age of eight, played together for a lifetime, and fought for a lifetime, talking about cooperation and small matters. It is precisely such a special friendship that laid the core idea of our current two-party system in the Song Dynasty."
"This painting is said to be a scene of two sages meeting in childhood. At that time, the beautiful Duke was already the prince's honor, and Yue Du was just an ordinary child like you and me. At a glance, it was a lifetime. Some people say that the Song Dynasty is based on the friendship between the two."
"Okay, after leaving the congress hall, the backyard is the tomb of the sages. It is said that the Mei Gong should have been buried in the Taimiao, but he refused. Yue Gong had already had the name of the sub-saint during his lifetime. However, according to Yue Gong's will, he refused, and later generations were determined not to praise him as a sage. He said that he was just an ordinary person who met by chance. The tombs of the two sages were very good. This pair of old friends and old opponents will always look at us on the top of Capitol Hill."
"Please note that there are no open fires on Capitol Hill. If you want to pay homage to your ancestors, please go to your left to buy flowers and do not light incense. Violators will be transferred to the public security organs. We will file a lawsuit against you on the charge of blasphemy of your ancestors."
