Emperor Gaozong of Song's original "palace" in Lin'an City was relatively ready-made. On February 13, the third year of Jianyan (1129), when he first arrived in Hangzhou, he used the former Hangzhou Prefecture as his palace. This state rule was originally the royal palace of the five generations of Wu Yueguo, so the foundation was complete and the regulations were grand, and Zhao Zhuo's living here should be very suitable.
However, later Jin Bing killed the two Zhejiang regions, and Zhao Zhuo fled Lin'an. By February of the fourth year of Jianyan (1130), Lin'an City was set on fire for three days and three nights by the retreating Jin soldiers, leaving only a ruin of the original state building.
On the fourteenth day of the first month of the second year of Shaoxing (1132), Zhao Zhuo returned to Lin'an City from Yuezhou (yuezhou) (present-day Shaoxing, Zhejiang). Before he returned, the construction of a new palace had begun under the Phoenix Mountain in Lin'an.
The most precious "human heart"
Why did Zhao Zhuo set the location of the imperial palace on phoenix mountain?
On February 13, 1129, the third year of Jianyan,1129, Zhao Zhuo arrived in Hangzhou for the first time. Since yangzhou crossed the river to the south of the river, he was completely in a state of flight, and the upheaval and displacement along the way made him very sensitive at a young age. What kind of city will Hangzhou be? Will the people there accept themselves? He had been uncertain and worried.
But before he entered the city, he suddenly felt better. Why is your Word?
It turned out that he now knew that Hangzhou had two counties, Renhe and Qiantang, and the name "Renhe" made him suddenly have a smile on his face, saying that this "Renhe" was not the old city gate of Kaifeng Province? He remembered that when Emperor Taizu Chen Qiaoyi was in his yellow robe, he returned to Kaifeng City from the "Renhe Gate" to enter the city, thus creating the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty.
Now, from "Renhe County" in Hangzhou, he thought of the "Renhe Gate" in Kaifeng that year, as if there was an auspicious light, which suddenly lit up the future - Hangzhou, this place is good!

He felt that the choice of Hangzhou should be the right choice, and it was worth Zhao Zhao's life here. And when Zhao Zhao's royal boat entered the city of Hangzhou from the Yuhang Water Gate (near the present-day Wulin Gate), the scene in front of him made him not only happy, but also moved.
The government did not publicize the news that the official family was about to arrive in Honshu, after all, his escape from the south was not a gratifying thing. However, the people of Hangzhou were a little surprised to hear that the official family would be in Honshu in the future, and they called on friends and friends to come and see the style of Tianzi. However, after Yuzhou entered the city, the people of Hangzhou saw the figure of the official family for the first time, but it was very different from the imaginary appearance - he was emaciated and haggard, the vicissitudes were with wind and dust, and the unconcealable downfall made people feel pity.
Boats crossed the Tianshuiyuan Bridge, Meijia Bridge (around today's Shuiqiao and Meidenggao Bridge), turned south into the Yanqiao Canal (now Zhonghe), and on this road were full of people running around, greeting each other in the middle of the river and cheering "Long live". The royal boat crossed the Xianlin Temple Bridge and the Salt Bridge, and moored at the Orangery Pavilion (near the eastern end of present-day Pinghai Road), and the group prepared to change into a car and go to Hangzhou Fuya under the Phoenix Mountain.
When Zhao Zhuo stepped ashore, a group of fathers and elders, with their sons and daughters, brought their most delicious food and wine to greet this fallen emperor who was a servant of the wind and dust and died all the way, as if they had seen their own relatives.
Zhao Zhuo was excited! This scene allowed him to see an extremely important and most precious thing: the human heart!
The scene that Zhao Zhuo saw in Hangzhou was precisely the crucial link in his assessment and choice of his "new home" in terms of time, place, people, and choices: people and people. He truly saw, felt and found.
A plus for Phoenix Mountain
Looking back at Zhao Shuo's choice of Phoenix Mountain, if "people" is a necessary condition for Gaozong to choose Hangzhou, then the landscape of Phoenix Mountain has become a "plus" for this choice.
The beauty of the land has changed customs and customs, the pure human feelings nourish the mountains and waters, and the reason why Phoenix Mountain was finally able to let Gaozong and his successor emperors settle here is that its superior natural situation and long-standing cultural accumulation that have long been integrated have also played an indispensable role.
Directly south of Phoenix Mountain, "overlooking the river and looking straight at the sea gate". This is the natural geography, but also the natural situation, "overlooking the river" means surrounded on three sides, two wings spread, one side facing the sun facing the Qiantang River, which is naturally a livable health and nearby mooring boat crossing excellent place.
Such a geographical location and situation was too important for Gaozong, who was always on the lookout for the Jin soldiers! "Looking straight at the sea gate" is exactly the path and direction of flying high when avoiding the enemy.
From the perspective of the history of Hangzhou's urban development, this was the seat of Hangzhou Prefecture during the Northern Song Dynasty. Before that, the royal city of Wu Yueguo, the sub-city of Hangzhou at that time, was built here. Further, in the ninth year (589) of Emperor Wen of Sui's reign, Qiantang Commandery was changed to Hangzhou, and two years later, in the eleventh year of Emperor Kai (591), Yang Su moved the administration of Hangzhou to the area around Liupuxi under the Phoenix Mountain. By the time of the Tang Dynasty, it had followed the positioning of the Sui Dynasty and had never left.
View of Phoenix Mountain from Mantou Mountain
Therefore, from the first time in history, when the name Hangzhou appeared, until the time of the Two Song Dynasties, in the six hundred years, the foothills of the Phoenix Mountains were the premises of the local highest official office. In the Tang Dynasty, there were gaozhai pavilions, Wanghai Tower, Qinghui Tower, Void White Hall, Inyan Pavilion, Forgotten Pavilion and other buildings.
During the fifth dynasty of Wu Yueguo, new buildings such as Zhonghe Hall and Bibo Pavilion were built. During the Northern Song Dynasty, there were also a large number of buildings such as the South Garden Sunda Pavilion, the Wangyue Pavilion, the Qushui Pavilion, the Qingfeng Pavilion, the Yuntao Temple, the Stone Forest Pavilion, the Hongmei Pavilion, the Zhonghe Hall, the Youmei Hall, and the Qingxia Hall.
Such a ready-made place, for Zhao Zhao, a large number of "uninvited guests", in the rush, urgency and chaos of the car when he first arrived, should be the most realistic choice for the convenience provided by their daily life and office.
However, Zhao Zhuo was worried about the candidate for the general of the Suwei Forbidden Army.
At this time, Zhao Zhuo suddenly received a letter from his confidante Zhang Jun, which said that the generals he could use at his disposal were really scarce recently, and the combat effectiveness of the army had not been able to go up, hoping that the official family could release a person named Yang Yizhong and let him return to the camp. Seeing the name Yang Yizhong, Zhao Zhao's eyes jumped in front of a figure with a large body and a big beard.
It is generally believed that Yang Yizhong refers to Yang Cunzhong
Yang Yi Zhongyuan was Zhang Jun's subordinate general, not only Kong Wu was powerful, but also read many books, and appeared calmer and more agile than ordinary martial generals. More importantly, at the time of the "Jingkang Change", Zhao Shuo was serving as the Grand Marshal of The Terracotta Army in Hebei, and Yang Yizhong had already begun to take on the heavy responsibility of the Marshal's Office of Su Wei, and it was common to work overtime and work on the night shift, and Zhao Shuo felt that this person was quite realistic.
During the "Miao-Liu Mutiny", Yang Yizhong followed Zhang Jun to rescue the driver and made a battle achievement. In December of the third year of Jianyan (1129), Zhao Zhuo was chased by Jin Wushu all the way to Mingzhou (明州, in modern Ningbo, Zhejiang), and at the critical moment, it was Yang Yizhong and Zhang Jun's other generals who resisted the Jin soldiers to the death, allowing Zhao To board a ship and escape from danger.
Since then, Zhao Zhuo's good feelings for Yang Yizhong have continued to deepen, and he has successively appointed him as the commander of the Imperial Right Army and the Imperial Front Army, leaving him at his side to take charge of a forbidden army, which can be regarded as a trusted general.
Now that Zhang Jun wanted Yang Yizhong to go back, Zhao Zhuo hesitated. He thought for a moment, and then ordered the servant to prepare for the battle, saying that he was going to go up the Phoenix Mountain.
The two most "profound" words
At this time, it was the early spring and February weather, and it was rare to have a wind and warm sun today, so Zhao Zhuo took this trip as an early spring tour.
After the group traveled to the south gate of the palace, they followed the road outside the palace wall and headed west. As the terrain gradually rises to the foot of Phoenix Mountain, a clever internal servant told him that the way up the mountain was called "Xueluo Trail" in ancient times, and the outer mountain gate of the Shengguo Temple on the mountain was originally built here at the foot of the mountain, and there was a poetry cloud in the Tang Dynasty: "The road is from the middle peak, and the disc is back to the xueluo.".
Zhao Zhuo looked at the side of the road, full of pine bamboo vines, a stream followed the roadside, the sound of birds was crisp, elegant and quiet, and his heart was full of joy.
Halfway through a small bridge, and then up a few bends, to a flat open place, look up to see the mountain, the stone peak is like a screen, this is the phoenix mountain in the middle of the peak. In the shade of the trees, an ancient temple showed a corner of the pavilion - the Shengguo Temple arrived.
At the end of the second year of Jianyan (1129), because the Jin soldiers came to kill, the people of Shengguo Temple went to the building. By the first year of Shaoxing (1131), after the Phoenix Mountain was designated as the seat of the palace, it became the garrison of a forbidden army.
Yang Yizhong, the commander of this forbidden army now, received a notice from the official family that suddenly came to the door, hurriedly ran out of the temple gate, welcomed Zhao Zhao into the main hall of the temple, arranged for him to sit on the throne, offered tea and fruit, and then stood aside with his forked hands. Zhao Zhuo said that he didn't have anything to do, that is, he saw that the weather was warm, walked up the mountain to see, and then chatted with Yang Yi in the sea and the sky.
Zhao Said that just now on a mountain stone near the entrance of the temple, he felt strange when he saw the newly engraved words "Palace Wall". There are walls in the north and south of the palace, there are walls in the east, but the west side is based on the Phoenix Mountain as a natural barrier, and there is no wall to build, where is the "palace wall" here?
Yang Yizhong smiled and said that the natural barrier must also be guarded by loyal and reliable people, and this forbidden army led by himself should play the role of a real "palace wall" and stand guard and put up a good post for the official family.
Zhao Zhao smiled, feeling a sense of ease and steadfastness in his heart, and looked at Yang Yizhong even more.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Zhao got up and wanted to go to other places on the mountain to see. Yang Yizhong said that the official family came here for the first time to visit the brothers, and everyone was grateful and hoped that the official family could give some instructions to the soldiers. On the side of the book, pen and ink paper have already been laid out. Zhao Shuo did not say much, and if he licked ink before writing, he had to write.
Just about to drop the pen, and then looked at this large paper, groaned for a moment, this time concentrated on luck, controlled the wrist to take the pen, and wrote down the two big words "faithful" neatly.
The "faithful" stone carvings on the cliffs are a finishing touch among the many cultural relics on Phoenix Mountain.
Zhao Zhuo's meaning is very clear, the Su Wei Forbidden Army is his most core guard, you must be bold and loyal as a rock, let him feel that this team is loyal and solid, absolutely reliable.
Next, Yang Yizhong acted as a guide for Zhao Zhao to visit the mountain, touring the scenic spots and scenery on the Phoenix Mountain, which made Zhao Zhaolongyan happy.
A few days later, Zhao Zhuo suddenly received a report that Yang Yizhong had carved two large characters on the stone wall next to a road in shengguo temple. What word? It was the word "faithful" inscribed by Zhao Zhuo that day.
Carving stone monuments with official pens was a common thing at that time. But Lieutenant Yang Yi did this unusually. He found a famous stone engraver, enlarged the Ink of Zhao Zhuo to a square of two feet for each word, and then copied it. The key is not in the size of the characters, but in the fact that the strokes of these two characters are engraved extremely deeply, much deeper than the words of other cliff carvings on the Phoenix Mountain, as if they are to be carved into the flesh of the stone wall.
When Zhao Zhuo heard this news, he was greatly moved in his heart. The word "faithful" can be carved into the "stone" three points, so "profound", for him, Yang Yizhong's operation is very "weighty".
If it is said that the "loyal" heart of the people of Lin'an City has built a thick "outer city wall" for the city, allowing Zhao To put a hundred hearts, then Yang Yizhong wants to engrave the word "faithful" in the hearts of him and the generals of the Forbidden Army, and truly create a solid and incorruptible "imperial palace wall".
Zhao Shuo consulted with the chancellor Lü Yihao on Yang Yizhong's appointment as an important position in the palace, and finally the monarchs and courtiers agreed and decided to grant Yang Yizhong the official position of "Shenwu Zhongjun Commandery", which was equivalent to handing over to him the command of the most important Suwei Forbidden Army in the entire palace.
Yang Yizhong later served as the commander of the higher official palace, and his palace was always located in the Shengguo Temple, which had the word "faithful" engraved on the cliffs on the side. Throughout the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, he had always been Zhao Shuo's most trusted personal leader.
Ruins of Shengguo Temple
At that time, when the two levels of people's hearts and military hearts were moving in the direction of loyalty and patriotism, and a "city wall" with "loyalty" as the hard core was built, the necessary conditions for Zhao Zhuo to "settle" under the Phoenix Mountain in Hangzhou were also completed.
