Chapter 172: Longshou Mountain
Longshou Mountain is not too big, but it is one of the best majestic mountains in the south of the Yangtze River. After Gaozong Zhao Gou passed by Longshou Mountain when he was fleeing, he has always been in love with the beautiful scenery of Longshou Mountain.
From the south of the Song Dynasty to the capital of Lin'an City, starting from the Gaozong Dynasty, and then going through the three dynasties of Xiaozong, Guangzong and Ningzong, every year in the name of labor, a spacious official road that can accommodate pedestrians, cars and horses to walk in the Xiongshan Xiuling of Longshou Mountain was opened up to facilitate the summer vacation in Longshou Mountain in the royal family.
Over the past 100 years, this mountain, which is not too big closest to Lin'an City, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, has gradually become the most enthusiastic place for dignitaries and nobles near Lin'an, Kyoto. In order to protect the flowers, trees, birds and beasts in this Longshou Mountain, the four dynasties have successively issued a lot of laws and regulations, prohibiting hunting, prohibiting burning forests and clearing wasteland, and even prohibiting logging and chopping wood. It has purely become a vacation and summer resort for dignitaries.
Remember, it's the dignitaries, it's just the dignitaries. Ordinary people, if they have not reached a certain specification and class, even if they are rich in the world, Zheng Mingxuan, Wen Lianggong and others, it is impossible to enter this Longshou Mountain.
In addition, it is said that the real mausoleum of Emperor Gaozong is hidden somewhere in this reckless Longshou Mountain, although no one can prove the truth of this rumor, but the imperial court does not have any idea of wanting to refute the rumors, and even specially sent four battalions of guards to guard the forbidden army under the infantry division of the Longshou Mountain, which seems to confirm the news of the existence of the real mausoleum of Emperor Gaozong in Longshou Mountain.
However, no one knows what is true or false.
Today's Longshou Mountain, except for some specially built places reserved for temples and Taoist temples, most of the other places with more beautiful scenery have been successively given to some meritorious ministers in the court by Gaozong, Xiaozong, Guangzong, Ningzong and Lizong Zhao Yun in the past 100 years, which are used to build other courtyards and relieve the hardships of the complicated government and government.
Of course, the most beautiful place in Longshou Mountain will always be the royal palace, and the rest of the second-class ones have also been divided up by the princes and princes of various emperors.
Therefore, in this courtyard in Longshou Mountain, Jia Rudao obviously has no share. This was also the first time he had heard of the place of Longshou Mountain.
Walking slowly from Lin'an City, and without deliberately hurrying, Jia Rudao took a carriage to Longshou Mountain in a small half a day. When I saw this ordinary carriage without any signs swaggering towards the official road of Longshou Mountain, a soldier from the Infantry Division of the Guards greeted him. However, looking at the faces of those soldiers, they did not come to ask people to take a detour, but to drive people away.
At this moment, at the end of the Changguan Road, which was deeply submerged in Longshou Mountain, there was a thunderous roar of horses' hooves. When the soldiers of the Infantry Division heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the depths of the official road, their faces changed greatly, and they didn't even care about driving the carriage that was an eyesore and did not know how to advance or retreat, and hurriedly avoided both sides of the official road.
Under the gaze of all the guards and soldiers, the unsightly simple carriage actually stopped at the entrance of the official road, and it stayed in the most central place, blocking the entrance of the official road tightly.
The soldiers of the Guards and Infantry Division looked at this stupid and simple carriage, and their faces all shrank on both sides of the official road with a look of schadenfreude, but they all had the intention of watching the play, and no one thought to remind the people in the carriage.
The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer, and it is getting more and more urgent.
These guards and soldiers of the infantry division know very well that there is not much in this Longshou Mountain, only the dignitaries and dignitaries are a stone down, and I am afraid that they will at least be smashed into a pile.
The DPRK is already a third-rank official of a high-ranking official, and to be honest, it is not enough to enter this Longshou Mountain. There are many people in this Longshou Mountain, such as the prince of the country, the marquis, the prince of the county, and the prince. Even if a cat or dog runs out casually, they must be careful to avoid the side when they encounter it, if they are really unlucky, they can only be offered in front of the ancestors, but they will never dare to kill them privately to fight for tooth sacrifices.
The officials are all very big, and their identities are unusually noble. But because of this, there are even fewer people who can have the courage to run directly in this Longshou Mountain. After all, the courtyards of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Longshou Mountain are basically here, and in fact, there are not a few people who come in and out every day. You're a big official, there's always someone bigger than you, right? Everyone is a high-spirited person, and once they collide and have a conflict, they don't look good on their faces.
Therefore, those who have the courage to gallop on this official road can only be the top few in Longshou Mountain, either the prince or the king of the county, after all, only these people can really have the strength to despise the vast majority of people.
The ground seemed to be trembling, and at the bend more than a dozen red-armored knights were impressively in sight, and in front of these dozen red-armored knights, there was a Confucian in a green robe. The galloping horses have fluttering hair and beards, which is quite a bit fluttering.
Seeing these dozen or so fierce red-armored knights and the middle-aged Confucian warriors who were flying like horses, the faces of the soldiers of the Infantry Division changed again.
It turned out to be him.
Looking at the simple broken carriage again, it was still parked motionless in the middle of the official road, and the coachman who drove the car looked at the dozen or so knights who were galloping in a daze, as if they were completely stupid, and they didn't even have the slightest intention of dodging, or they didn't know how to dodge at all.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer. The dozen or so horsemen had no intention of slowing down, and the carriage parked in the middle of the official road did not make any movement to avoid the way.
The soldiers of the Infantry Division of the Guards suddenly found that the middle-aged Confucian who was leading the way had a strange smile on his face, as if he was happy to see the hunter, and even more like he couldn't wait.
Could it be that this master actually knows the people in this carriage?
There are guards with bright brains, and such a thought appeared in the minds of the soldiers of the infantry army for no reason. But then he quickly shook his head again, as if to shake this impossible thought out of his head.
How could such a person of distinguished status know such a carriage that did not even have a mark? And it was this master who came out to greet him personally.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and the strange light in the eyes of the middle-aged Confucian is also getting stronger and stronger. Seeing that the two sides were about to meet, the middle-aged Confucian suddenly waved his right hand. There was a roar of horses, and a dozen galloping knights actually rode and reined in their horses, and stood still. The cleverness of riding skills makes everyone's eyes shine.
Seeing this scene, the guards and soldiers who had all their hearts and mouths in their throats were both happy and disappointed, but they all sighed in unison. What they sighed for, but even they didn't know what to say.
Although the middle-aged Confucian horseman's riding skills were not as good as those armored knights, he was also extremely clever, only took a few steps forward to stop the fierce horse under his crotch, patted twice on the neck of the beloved horse who seemed to be dissatisfied because the happy gallop was interrupted, and kept snorting, walked two steps with the reins, stopped in front of the carriage without any movement, and clenched his fists.
"In the car, is it in front of Master Jia?"
It turned out that they really knew each other. It turned out that he was really here to pick up the people in this humble carriage.
When the soldiers of the Infantry Division heard the words of the middle-aged Confucian scholar, they all felt a sense of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe. How could the person who could let this master come and pick him up in person be an ordinary bachelor? They knew very well who this master was.
The curtain opened, and a young face poked out.
