When he was young, Emperor Saga was still Prince Kamino, he heard the Japanese monk Kukai tell about the grand funeral held after the death of Emperor Dezong of Tang.
The Chongling Mausoleum of Emperor Dezong of Tang is located in Mount Chuange.
From then on, Emperor Saga yearned for the Tang Dynasty and renamed his residence Saga-in. In addition, when he was touring the current Sagano area, he thought of the scenery of Mount Saga that Kukai had described to him, so he named it Sagano.
Simply put, Emperor Saga is a star-chaser, but the star he is chasing is not a person, but a country.
Bai Juyi's poems were also very famous in the Tang Dynasty at that time, so Emperor Saga was also a loyal fan of Bai Juyi.
Judging from the results, Emperor Saga’s idol chasing was successful.
After Emperor Saga came to the throne, he vigorously promoted "Tangization" and imitated Tang rituals. He eventually died in Sagain and his mausoleum was built in Saganoko.
It was because of his obsession with the word "Saga" that he was named Emperor Saga.
Everyone couldn't help but blink slightly as they listened to Yushan Kazuto's explanation.
Although everyone present had pretty good results, even including Rikka Takanashi, interesting little knowledge like this was something that no one had ever heard of.
Chapter 2466: Encounter with Ying Lili
"Hey, while we were talking, we've already reached the observation deck."
After introducing the famous star-chaser Emperor Saga, Hayama Kazuto realized that they had unknowingly walked to the Arashiyama Observation Deck.
"Let's not talk about it for now. The view over there is better. Let's go over and take a look."
Listening to Yushan Heren's words, everyone couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little lost in their hearts.
They also want to hear more historical stories from Yushan and others!
In fact, there are quite a few stories to tell about Emperor Saga.
For example, although the other party was an emperor, his calligraphy was very good and was known as one of the "Three Brushes" of the Heian period.
For example, during the reign of Emperor Saga, due to financial constraints on the royal family, many members of the royal family were demoted to ministers and given the surname Minamoto, which means "from the same origin".
After that, many Japanese emperors followed Emperor Saga's example. A total of twenty-one emperors gave their descendants the surname Minamoto, which created one of the most powerful clans in Japanese history - the Minamoto clan.
The emergence of the Taira clan was similar to this. It was because the royal family was in financial difficulty that they demoted some of their sons and daughters to the status of ministers.
It is also worth mentioning that the first Taira clan was actually granted fiefdom by Emperor Junwa.
Emperor Junna was actually the younger brother of Emperor Saga.
But he has another identity, that is, the son-in-law of Emperor Saga.
He is both a younger brother and a son-in-law. One has to say that the Japanese royal family is indeed a mess.
Emperor Junna was actually the one to whom Emperor Saga abdicated. During the reign of Emperor Junna, Emperor Saga always existed as the Emperor Emeritus and had a profound influence on the royal family and political views.
Therefore, it is very likely that the enfeoffment of the Taira clan was also authorized by Emperor Saga.
Originally, Yushan Kazuto was planning to tell everyone the story, but now that they had arrived at the observation deck, they decided to just enjoy the scenery first.
It is early autumn now, and the sun actually sets before six o'clock.
It is now 5:20 and the sun is setting.
The reason why Yushan Heren checked Arashiyama in the optional items was the bamboo forest path on the one hand and the sunset at Arashiyama on the other.
Although the maple leaves have not yet turned red, the sunset view of Arashiyama is still unique.
Standing on the edge of the observation deck, silently watching the sky gradually turn red, the whole world gradually turned into a hazy red, which made people sigh at the magic of nature.
Everyone stood on the observation deck of Arashiyama in silence, waiting until the sun had completely set and the sky gradually darkened, and then they withdrew their attention.
"Let's go down the mountain and eat something, it's almost time to go back to the hotel." Stretching lazily, Yushan Heren said.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but blink slightly. They were so immersed in the beauty of the sunset that they had forgotten the time.
After Yushan Heren's reminder, everyone remembered that they only had four hours of free time in the afternoon, and almost three hours had already passed.
"Shall we just eat something at the foot of Arashiyama?" After thinking for a moment, Tsuchiya couldn't help but ask.
"Well, I asked Mr. Kirisu, and he said that you can eat by yourself. If you eat out, you can go home half an hour later." Yushan Heren said.
The hotel provides a buffet, but if students see a restaurant they like, they can also dine out.
However, if you dine out on your own, you will have to pay for your meal.
After all, dinner is arranged by the school, unlike lunch, which is difficult to arrange in a restaurant, so the only option is to get the meal expenses reimbursed.
"So good?" Upon hearing this, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but speak.
"But in this case, you'll have to pay for dinner yourself," Kato Megumi added.
Listening to Kato Megumi's words, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but blink slightly. She knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
"It's actually not bad to eat something outside by yourself. It's just the price of a meal anyway." Yushan Heren couldn't help but laugh.
The school reimbursed the expensive live eels for lunch, so why not pay for something to eat at night?
Not to mention that I'm a little hungry now, if I dine in Arashiyama, I can also enjoy the scenery. Why not?
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
Everyone brought some pocket money for this school trip. Even Toumori Sanae, who never carried money with her, brought some cash, so having a meal together wasn't a big problem.
Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Tsuchima knew that Yushan and the others probably did not plan to go back for dinner.
This couldn't help but make Doma Mai feel a little regretful. After all, she still felt the hotel buffet was quite good.
One of the dishes was tempura fried shrimp. Doma Mai originally wanted to try it again today, but since everyone had already decided to eat out, Doma Mai would not raise any objections.
"Let's go down the mountain this way, faster." Yushan and others walked in front and led the way.
If you return the same way, you have to walk the bamboo forest path again.
But if you go down the mountain from the other side, you can reach Dayangchuan directly, and after walking a few steps, you can find a place to eat.
Everyone nodded and followed Yushan and others to go down the mountain.
But just before going down the mountain, Rikka Takanashi seemed to have discovered something: "Look, who's over there?"
Follow the small
Looking in the direction that Rikka Toriyu pointed, there seemed to be a familiar figure in an inconspicuous corner at the edge of the Arashiyama Observation Deck.
There was a drawing board in front of the other person, and he was painting with his sleeves rolled up.
"Eri's death?" Touma Sanae couldn't help but ask.
Among those present were Kato Megumi and Fujinomiya Ningzi, otherwise Touma Sanae would have directly called Eriri "Eiheihei".
"It's indeed Eriri. I didn't expect her to be sketching in Arashiyama." Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but say.
In the morning, Yushan Kazuto asked Eriri why she didn't go sketching today.
After all, when she went to Okinawa last year, Eriri would get up early every morning to sketch.
However, I didn't expect that the other party actually chose to come to Arashiyama to sketch in the afternoon.
"Let's go over and take a look, and remind Eriri of the time." After thinking for a moment, Yushan Kazuto said.
Once you get into a state of immersion in painting, it is easy to forget the time.
If Eriri ignores the time and does not return to the hotel by the appointed time, not only will Eriri be criticized, but people like Yuyama Kazuto will also be affected.
After all, if someone hasn't come back, they will definitely not rashly go to Kyoto.
In this way, Yushan Kazuto and others were actually dragged to Kyoto by Eriri.
Chapter 2467: Eriri Painting Alone
"Hey, Eriri."
The sudden sound coming from behind startled Eriri who was painting, and she almost dropped the paintbrush in her hand.
However, after recalling the source of this familiar voice, Eriri bit her lip, thought for a few seconds, then turned around with an angry expression, wanting to blame Yushan Kazuto.
But after seeing the people next to Haneyama Kazuto, Eriri immediately gave up the idea of losing her temper and quickly changed her expression: "Kazuto, and Kei, why did you come to Arashiyama?"
"Let's come over to enjoy some sunsets in Arashiyama!" Yushan Kazuto smiled and looked at the work on Eriri's drawing board, which happened to be a sunset picture.
Thinking back to Eriri's sketches in Okinawa, which were mainly sunrise and sunset, Kazuto Yuyama couldn't help but feel a little emotional. She really had a special liking for sunrise and sunset.
"Is that so? But when I came here, I didn't seem to see you coming." Hearing this, Ying Lili couldn't help but blink slightly and said.
"We went to another optional activity first, and then came to Arashiyama." Yushan Kazuto said.
Originally, Kazuto Yuyama thought that Eriri would also choose to visit the Nintendo headquarters as one of her optional projects. After all, Eriri is actually a game enthusiast, but she did not choose it.
Eriri only signed up for one optional activity in Kyoto, which was a tour of Arashiyama.
But in fact, the Arashiyama tour is one of the lowest-cost optional activities provided by Fengzhizaki.
After all, there is no entrance fee to enter the Arashiyama Scenic Area. Tickets are only required to enter some specific areas of Arashiyama, and the price is not too high.
For example, the adult ticket for Tenryuji Temple in Arashiyama is 500 yen, while the adult ticket for Kyoto Aquarium, another option in the optional items, is 2,400 yen.
Relatively speaking, Arashiyama is a relatively affordable scenic spot. Of course, that is provided that you do not spend money in Arashiyama or buy souvenirs or anything like that.
"Is that so?" Hearing this, Ying Lili couldn't help but blink slightly. It could be seen that the other party was a little nervous.
"Why are you, Eriri, painting alone in this corner?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
The corner of Eriri Station is quite hidden. Yushan and his friends watched the sunset on the observation deck for such a long time that they didn't even notice each other.
Just when they were about to leave, Rikka Takanashi saw the other party's drawing board. Otherwise, it is estimated that Yushan and the others would not have found Eriri until they left.
"This, the angle is better here." Ying Lili said, blinking slightly.
"The angle on the observation deck is also great, death!" Toumori Sanae couldn't help but say.
Hearing this, Ying Lili couldn't help but blink her beautiful eyes, not knowing how to explain.
The angle on the observation deck was indeed better than where she was standing. She couldn't tell Yushan and the others that she chose this more secluded corner because she was worried about being watched by others. That would seem a bit too narcissistic.
But now, Eriri's thoughts were shattered. She originally wanted to avoid being seen, so she chose to paint here, but in the end, she was surrounded by Yushan and others.
"It's probably because there's no obstruction here." Seeing Eriri seemed to be lost in deep thought, Yushan Kazuto had to smooth things over.
"Yes, that's right. If you stand on the observation deck, you often have to worry about being blocked by other tourists." Hearing that Yushan and others were helping her out, Eriri quickly spoke.
"Is this really death?" Toumori Sanae asked again.
The two have known each other for such a long time, and Eriri is very clear that she cannot defeat Sanae Touma, so she chose a smarter approach and simply ignored Sanae Touma's words.
"You just told someone that you were going to see the sunset at Arashiyama. Now that the sunset is over, are you ready to go down the mountain?" Eriri said.
"Well, if I hadn't seen you here, we would have been halfway down the mountain by now." Yushan Heren said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ying Lili blinked. If possible, she would rather Yushan and the others didn't notice her and leave directly.
"By the way, how long will it take you to finish this work?" After looking at Eriri's painting, Yushan Kazuto asked.
Kazuto Yuyama felt that Eriri's work was already very complete, but she didn't seem to be very satisfied.
"It may take some time." Hearing this, Ying Lili said.
"But after the sun sets, the light here has become quite dim. Can we still continue painting?" Hearing this, Kato Megumi spoke.
"This..." Hearing this, Ying Lili bit her lip. The lighting problem was also one of the issues she was worried about.
Although the current light still allows her to see the painting clearly, the colors have confused her a little and she needs to observe carefully to see it clearly.
"And it's almost six o'clock now. If we continue painting, we may not be able to return to the hotel in time." On the other side, Yuuki Asuna spoke at the right time.
Hearing this, Eriri couldn't help but look at Yuuki Asuna.
What the other party and Kato Megumi said really touched Eriri's heart.
Although she had been painting seriously before, Eriri was not completely immersed in her work and still paid some attention to light and time.
"It's indeed a little late." After thinking for a while, Ying Lili said.
"Why don't you put your things away first?
Let’s paint it when we get to Nara.” said Hayama Kazuto.
Hearing this, Eriri inexplicably felt a sense of separation in her heart. The work that was supposed to be in Kyoto would have to be completed in Nara.
However, time was tight today and she didn't have much to do.
