After Lu Xian's death, Lu Jian, who was only 22 years old, took his father's position as the commander of the Tuguan of Zhuang Langwei, and still managed the Tuguan and the rest of the army, and governed the Zhuang Lang place.

In the thirteenth year of orthodoxy (1448 AD), the brothers of Brother Lan, the governor of Shazhou, quarreled with each other, and the people were separated. Gansu eunuch Liu Yongben. Du Governor Renli wanted to take advantage of their hunger and embarrassment to move them to the interior. Liu Yongben ordered Lu Jian, Mao Hara and others to participate in the operation. Lu Jianqin led 1,500 native soldiers to join Mao Hara and others. It happened that Brother Lan also asked to move to Suzhou, and Ren Li sent Du to command Mao Hara to pacify Brother Lan's troops, and he personally led the troops to set off later. When Ren Li arrived, Brother Lan's attitude wavered again, and his subordinates wanted to defect to Wara. Ren Li marched into the army and coerced, so he collected more than 1,200 people from his entire tribe and returned. At that time, the Yexian power of the Wara Department was flourishing, and Brother Feng's younger brother Suo Nanben was the king of Qi, and Suo Nanben tried to invade outside Jiayu Pass. Liu Yongben and Ren Li thought that the alliance of the two Kou would make it more difficult to control, so they sent people to appease Suo Nanben. Suo Nanben wanted to say yes but hesitated. Ren Li secretly sent Mao Hara and Lu Jian to lead troops to Handong, captured Suo Nanben and his subordinates, gathered the leaders of the people, and told them to be faithful, and everyone was Luobai. Lu Jian returned to his plunder. For this reason, Mao Hara was given the name "Loyalty" by Yingzong, and soon, he was promoted to the right general to assist in Gansu. Lu Jian was also promoted to general and commander with merit.

In August of the 14th year of Orthodoxy (1449), the "Tumubao Incident" occurred, and Ming Yingzong was captured. In order to avoid the suspicion of the lord and the country, Yu Qian and other ministers persuaded the Empress Dowager Sun to set up Zhu Qiyu, the king of Yu, as the emperor, that is, Emperor Jing. The following year, it was changed to Jingtai. After Emperor Jing ascended the throne, he also issued an edict that the border guards would not listen to Wara's excuses, so that Wara's conspiracy to defraud property and open the door in the name of Ming Yingzong failed. Warat was furious and sent troops to attack Beijing. Emperor Jing appointed Yuqian and others to organize the defense of Beijing, purge the interior, mobilize heavy troops, and calm the people's hearts, and finally repelled Warat in November of the same year and won the victory in the defense of Beijing.

Warat retreated, and the border was slightly quieter. In the first year of Ming Jingtai (1450), I heard that Huang Bianxiu returned to Lanzhou, Lu Jian was very happy, specially prepared a generous gift, carefully wrote an invitation, and sent a subordinate right-hand man to invite him to Liancheng to talk about it, and write a note for the Datong Temple, which is the Miao Yin Division.

Huang Ji, the word courtier, Zhuo'an, also known as Lanpo, Zhuang Langweiren. Since childhood, he lived in Zhuanglang City, and in the seventh year of Ming Yingzong's orthodoxy (壬戌, 1442), he was admitted to explore flowers. According to the custom, he was awarded the rank of Jinshi and the first, and was awarded the post of editor and bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, known as "Huang Tanhua" and "Huang Bachelor". After exploring flowers in high school, Huang Yi's family moved to Lanzhou.

Huang Jian is no stranger to Lu Tusi, and heard that the fourth Lu Tusi Lu Jian is both civil and military, and is a rare member of the tiger general, so he agreed to Lu Jian's invitation, and invited Ci Jinshi, who was born and former superintendent of the imperial history Qingcheng Mu Lun, to go together.

Lu Jian was very happy when he learned about the day when Huang Ji arrived. He said to his subordinates that Wenquxing was going to come to Liancheng, which was a brilliant thing, and he must pay attention to it. He demanded that his family members clean the inside and outside of the office, and at the same time, everyone should learn etiquette, behave appropriately, and not be vulgar and unreasonable. Lu Jian rode his own horse to the Hekou ferry to greet Huang Jian and his party.

Lu Jian was stunned when he saw Huang Jian, and they both felt like old friends, why were they so familiar with each other?

After saying hello and saying auspicious, Huang Jian introduced Mu Lun to Lu Jian: "This Mu Lun brother is not simple. His ancestral home is Qingcheng, Sichuan, Yongle thirteen years of Jinshi, former supervision of the imperial history, governor of Gansu, good at writing poetry, working in calligraphy, he recently wrote a song "Farewell to the Friends of Beijing" is very well received by everyone——

The line rode out of Huangji, and the ancient wood was frosty and cold, and the bird flew alone.

The old people in the sky are blue-eyed, and the brothers in Shu are scarce.

The autumn wind is so long and cloudy, and the night moon is full of clothes.

The white-haired Xiao Xiao is thousands of miles away, and I don't know what to do after saying goodbye. ”

Lu Jian stepped forward and bowed and said hello.

The group rode on horseback. It is the time of May, when Zhuang Lang is the most beautiful. Along the way, the peach and willow are green, and the wheat seedlings are one foot high, a vibrant and thriving scene.

Lu Jian was very excited and introduced Zhuang Lang to Huang Jian and his party.

He started with bitter water, which was narrow at both ends and wide in the middle, like human eyes. During the Hongwu period, the government built a castle in the wide area of "eyes", which was called "Kushui Bay Station". The castle shines like a pupil in an eye. At the same time, in the local dialect of the Kushui people, the eyes are called "Kushui", so "Kushui" has become the name of the castle, and it contains a beautiful and moving meaning. Zhuanglang low temperature, arid, long sunshine, especially the bitter water fort to be defended by the grassless mountain, has a special red sticky slightly alkaline soil, here the wild rose tree is strong and vigorous, the flowers are fragrant and sweet, there is the reputation of "golden flower". Lu Jian pointed to a cluster of roses that were blooming red and bright on the side of the road to introduce to everyone, everyone felt curious, and got off the horse and walked to the flowers, and sure enough, the fragrance was fragrant. "This flower will be of great use in the future!" The crowd praised.

Talking and laughing like this, I arrived at Hongchengzi. Lu Jian introduced the important geographical location of Hongchengzi to everyone. After a short rest, he got on his horse and hurried away, and entered the Zhuang Lang Acropolis at dusk, and rested at the Yamen of Lu Mansion - in order to facilitate Lu Tusi, Zhuang Langwei officials rested for Lu Tusi.

The next day, Lu Jian took Huang Jian's people to visit Zhuanglang City. Everyone came to the Temple of Literature first, and saw that there were more than a dozen holes on the four walls of the Temple of Literature, Mu Lun was puzzled, and he asked Lu Jian why this was. Lu Jian said: "This has something to do with the editor." ”

"Something to do with me?" Huang Yan asked puzzled

"You are in high school to explore flowers, the news came, and the people in your hometown Zhuang Langwei were excited and excited. More good deeds opened more than a dozen holes in the main hall of the Confucian Temple, so as to achieve the purpose of the Confucian Temple and let Zhuang Lang appear more literati. Lu Jian said.

"I see! Hometown people attach so much importance to culture, and in the future, there will be a long history of culture and talents! The general should not only be handsome, but also care more about the education of his hometown. Huang said.

"That's certain, please rest assured, I will definitely do my best!" Lu Jian hurriedly replied.

Walking to the Hyde Temple, Lu Jian introduced the process of Chengzu building the Hyde Temple in recognition of his father's military exploits, and everyone gave a thumbs up and praised the Lu Tusi family. Huang Ji deliberately paid attention to the God of Wealth Hall of Haide Temple to hang four gold plaques on a green background, with four big characters of loyalty, righteousness, wisdom and courage.

Passing through the Temple of the God of Wealth, there is a wing room on the right, and the front is the Dharma Protector Hall, and the door of the temple is still locked. Seeing that everyone was about to enter the inquiry, the old lama hurriedly took out the key from his waist and opened the door of the temple. When everyone walked into the main hall, they saw a fierce god with a hideous and terrible face directly above the hall, he had eight arms, leaned back, and held a little woman with a pair of hands in front of him. On his left and right sides were fierce and vicious faces, riding on the backs of abandoned oxen and horses. And the cows and horses trampled on the naked women under their hooves.

The crowd was puzzled. The old lama hurriedly introduced: "This Buddha is called Huanxi Buddha, also called Daminglun Wang Zhen Demon Map. The Buddha of Joy has a deep origin, and there is an elephant-headed human god named Vinayaka in ancient Indian mythology. He is the son of Shiva (the Great Freedom of Heaven) and the goddess of the snow-capped mountains. When the goddess of the snow mountain was engaged in "catching the week" for her son, she forgot to invite the Saturn god Sha Mu. Sha Mu was angry, so he cut off the baby's head with his gaze. Shiva hurriedly sent his attendant Nan Ding to find the head of a living creature and press it on his son's neck. Nanding came to the capital of the kingdom of heaven and cut off the head of the elephant, the mount of the Emperor Indra, and Shiva put the head of the elephant on his son, and Vinayaka was resurrected. Later, the population of the heavenly kingdom was too large and overcrowded, and the gods and goddesses of the snowy mountains came to find a way to solve this problem. The goddess of the snow-capped mountains sent her son Vinayaga to seduce the people and put obstacles in the way of their liberation. Vinayaka is worshipped as the 'God of Wisdom' by Hinduism and is also known as the 'God of the Great Wilderness'. Because in Buddhist Tantra it is said that he has a violent personality and is an evil god who harms the world. In order to subdue his violence, Guanyin Bodhisattva once transformed into a beautiful woman, and the 'Great Wilderness God' liked it very much, and immediately took refuge in Buddhism and became a 'Happy Buddha'. The violent evil god was surrendered in front of the beautiful and gentle Master Guanyin and became a 'captive' of Buddhism, which shows that Buddhism has defeated the devil and demonstrated the boundlessness of Buddhism. Why does the Buddha of Joy have a fierce face? This is to show the heroism of great anger, great fearlessness, great victory. In order to intimidate those wicked, the Buddha of Joy often changes in a variety of ways, some with animal heads and human bodies, some with four faces, and twelve arms. The main arm embraces the Ming concubine Vajra Haimu, and the feet are naked men and women, which represents the meaning of subduing the infidels and achieving a great victory, and it is also a symbol of infinite power and bravery.

Huang Ji and the others either nodded or pondered, and everyone was speechless for a while.

Lu Jian took everyone to watch the Tanhua Pavilion again. Originally, in order to congratulate Huang Zhi High School on exploring flowers, Zhuang Langwei built a flower exploration pavilion on the east side of the original Guandi Temple on Zhuanglang City West Street, and built a viewing pavilion on the west side. Everyone was excited to come to the Guandi Temple, and Huang Ji thanked the people of his hometown for their deep affection, and his feelings were beyond words. Everyone saw that the Tanhua Pavilion was a mountaintop wooden four-pillar octagonal pavilion with four pillars inside and outside. The observation tower is two two-storey pavilions with a distance of 10 meters from east to west, and the inner and outer twelve pillars are two-storey mountaintop pavilion-style buildings. The appearance of pavilion and pavilion is tall, the structure is simple and compact, the ridge is made of the kissing beast, the upper layer of the bucket arch picks the eaves, the eaves angle is warped, and the roof is the cantilever beam of the accumulation point.

After appreciating Zhuanglang City, everyone went to the south of the city to rest.

Early the next morning, everyone washed up, had breakfast, and then set off on horseback, walked out of Zhuanglang City, and headed west to Liancheng. Huang Ji suddenly became interested in Renshou Mountain opposite. He asked Lu Jian, what was the name of the hill in front of Renshou Mountain?

"Woniu Mountain!"

"Great place! Great place! ”

Everyone was puzzled.

Lu Jian accompanied Huang Jian and his entourage to talk and laugh all the way, talk about the past and the present, talk about some local stories, enter the big sand ditch, cross the Hongling Xianzi, and go to the full water beach. By this time, it was noon, and there were already men waiting for them to prepare food and drink by the roadside. After eating, rest for a while, and continue on the road.

Lu Jian introduced to everyone that as early as the confrontation between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, this was an important place on the front line, and the Song Dynasty built many castles here, such as Shila City, Pei Pei City, Triangle City, Sheep Breast City and other ancient cities that were easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the history, in the 5th year of Hui Zongzhenghe (1115), the eunuch Tong Guan ordered Xihe to lead 150,000 troops out of Huangzhou, and Qin Feng made Liu Zhongwu lead 50,000 troops out of Huizhou. Liu Fa went straight to the ancient bone dragon (now in the territory of Liancheng Town), tens of thousands of the right wing army of Western Xia met the battle, was defeated by Liu Fa, more than 3,000 people died, Liu Fa built a shock city. The following year, the Song Dynasty changed Zhenwu to Zhenwu Army. In May of the seventh year of Xuanhe of Huizong (1125), Shaanxi Xian Guo Fu Shi inspected the Zhenwu Army and inscribed this poem on the stone wall of Nettle Bay in Liancheng Shuimogou. In fact, in addition to the Dongda Temple and the cliff carvings of the Northern Song Dynasty in the Shuimo Ditch, there was a fierce battle in the ancient Gulong City in the territory of Minle Township at its north entrance, and tens of thousands of Song troops were killed. Everyone was full of emotion. Xuyi is not easy. The so-called gentleman doesn't see the yellow sand and buries the bones, and a few people come back to fight in ancient times!

Entering the water mill ditch, the sky blue seems to be able to touch with your hands, a few white clouds play freely in the blue sky, the white clouds and mist wander on the mountainside, and the right hand side leans on the winding and undulating Manggrad Mountain, Cangshan is like Dai, full of variegated wildflowers; On the left-hand side, the pines and cypresses of Puguan Mountain spread out like fairy fans are lush and lush, and the stream in the ditch at the foot is murmuring, and you enter the painting in a trance.

Lu Jian suddenly stopped his horse and asked Huang Ji: "Lord Huang, may I ask what was the earliest poem that wrote about Shuimogou?" ”

"This? I really don't know. You tell me? ”

"I know. The water is cold and knocks the jade, and the mountains are green and blue; Although it lives in the north, it seems to be in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

"Although it lives in the north, it seems to be in the south of the Yangtze River. Good poetry! Good poetry! Mu Lun twisted his beard and exclaimed.

"Oh?"

"Dismount, please, and look ahead."

Lu Jian took everyone to the bottom of the ditch, pedaled on a platform, and saw the cliff stone carvings seen on the cliff about 7 meters high from the ground, written vertically, carved in the shade, the entire stone carving area is five feet high, one foot wide, a total of 9 lines of 65 words, the full text font is in block letters:

On the eighteenth day of midsummer, Xuanhe returned to Zhenwu to stay in the Shibi of Nettle Bay, Shaanxi Xian, Guo Fushi, Shui Cough, Han Knocking Jade/Shanguang Cuipo//Although Lan lived in the north/It seemed to be to the south of the Yangtze River//Chen Engong, the deputy general of Quasi-Datong, imprisoned Wang Lizhi, Zhenwu Army Yan Yongji.

"Oops, what a relic!"

"What a beautiful view!"

People can't help but sigh.

"My hometown is so beautiful, Lord Huang wants to use your splendid article to introduce it to the world!"

Out of the mouth of the water mill ditch, you will arrive at Liancheng. Lu Jian introduced the origin of the name of Liancheng. After walking all day, I was tired, so Lu Jian arranged to eat, wash up, and rest.
