Chapter 576: On the Yangtze River

readx;

Late spring and early summer is the rainy season in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and heavy rain is the norm. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoToday, however, the rain was different, like a strong convective rain in the middle of summer, with lightning and thunder, pouring like a pour. Heavy rain and strong winds stirred up the Yangtze River.

From the Yellow Crane Tower, you can clearly see that the water level in the river has risen sharply, and the waves galloping from the upstream are like thousands of horses galloping, and the originally very wide river surface seems to be narrowed because of this. The embankments on both sides of the river also stirred up a large area of white waves, and even the Yellow Crane Tower, standing on the Snake Mountain, was trembling slightly by the roaring river!

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but turn pale with fright, and tightly clenched Li Zhenyan's plain hand. He has been through strong winds and waves, and of course knows the power of nature. Especially this seemingly weak water, once enough energy has been accumulated, the devastating destructive power cannot be stopped by manpower!

That Wen Gongzi was calm, looking at the rushing river with interest, and from time to time diligently persuaded Zhu Youzhen and the others to drink and taste food. But Zhu Youzhen was in the mood to eat at this time, he was afraid that the Yangtze River would suddenly burst and rush the Yellow Crane Tower without a trace.

Fortunately, the rainstorm came and went quickly, and soon turned into a gentle drizzle. However, the sky is still gloomy, although the river no longer roars, but the water level has not receded much, it seems that this year's flood season of the Yangtze River is greatly advanced.

"What does Childe think of this Yangtze River?" Seeing that Zhu Youzhen was thoughtful, Wen Gongzi suddenly asked.

This topic is a bit big, Zhu Youzhen didn't know how to answer, so he asked rhetorically: "I want to listen to Wen Gongzi's high arguments first." ”

"The Yangtze River originates from the lofty mountains and mountains of western Sichuan, with the Minjiang River as its source." Wen Gongzi stood up, faced the river with his back hand, and said quite conceitedly, "The water of the Jinsha River, the Jialing River, and the Wujiang River will come down." After Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge and Xiling Gorge, the river surface widens, the water potential slows down, and the water volume is larger. From Wuchang down to Jiangxi Jiujiang, just more than 300 miles, there are nine big rivers flowing into the Yangtze River, such as Han Shui, Lishui, pouring water, lifting water, Ba Shui, Xishui, Qi Shui, rich water and Ganshui, so the Yangtze River here has the name of 'nine schools' again. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen actually wanted to tell this Wen Gongzi: The Min River is not the source of the Yangtze River, but the Tuotuo River in the upper reaches of the Jinsha River is. However, on second thought, due to the constraints of many conditions, it is not uncommon for people in this era to find it difficult to find the source of the Yangtze River. If you argue with the other party and can't come up with any evidence, won't you be ashamed and laughed? Therefore, he did not interrupt Wen Gongzi's conversation, and quietly listened to him continue.

"The Yangtze River has spirituality, it is a divine dragon." Wen Gongzi said calmly, "The land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River is all because of the benefits of the Yangtze River; However, once there is a flood, the river bursts, and the people may be fish and turtles. The right of life and death, the difference between interests and harms, are all in the thought of the dragon. I, the stupid sentient beings, should only be solemn, how dare we wait for a drunk like this and desecrate the river! ”

Zhu Youzhen followed Wen Gongzi's sharp gaze and looked to the side, it turned out that there was a table of guests who were drunk and actually fell on the railing of the Yellow Crane Tower and vomited. Of course, this is extremely uncivilized behavior, and Li Zhenyan, who loves cleanliness, couldn't help but turn her head in disgust when she saw it.

Zhu Youzhen felt that these words were a bit unpleasant, and thought that this Wen Gongzi also emphasized the power of nature too much, and ignored the subjective initiative of people. If the river is a disaster, it will be cured, how can it be left unchecked.

Wen Gongzi talked about the prosperity and said endlessly: "According to the beginning of the five virtues, all dynasties and generations correspond to the five elements, yin and yang cycles, and the five elements are mutually reinforcing, so there is a rise and fall of dynasties." In the past, Qin Shi Huang insisted on saying that the Qin Dynasty was virtuous because of Zou Yan's saying that "water virtue acts on behalf of Zhou". In fact, Qin only had fifteen years of national fortune, but it was just an outlier, and it was the Han Dynasty that really became virtuous.

"The same is true of this dynasty. Some people say that Meng Yuande is water, which is really a big fallacy. The Hu people have no luck for a hundred years, and they have to steal the five elements? The real virtue of water should also be in this dynasty, and there are many verifications. My Emperor Taizu started between the Jianghuai River, first according to Jinling, and then dominated the world, and there was always water to help. Especially in the battle of Poyang Lake, Chen Youliang's army was defeated, which laid the scale of the founding of the country.

Therefore, the prosperity of this dynasty is in the Yangtze River. Emperor Taizu set the capital in Yingtianfu, which also has the meaning of 'Yingtiande Water'. After the Beijing division moved north, without the blessing of the aura of the Yangtze River, the national strength was declining, and there was today's domestic and foreign difficulties. Go against the sky, and be undefeated! ”

Although he said it quietly, it was extremely bold. Because of the public case of Chengzu Zhu Di's "Jing Nan" ascending the throne and the northward migration of the Beijing Division, it was definitely a taboo that could not be talked about in the Ming Dynasty. But this Wen Gongzi said it so bluntly, and there was a lot of criticism of Zhu Di between his words, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but be taken aback!

Only then did Zhu Youzhen realize that in addition to knowing the other party's surname Wen, he didn't know anything about this mysterious son! So he asked tentatively: "Wen Gongzi is high-minded, and the younger brother admires it very much." But after drinking for a long time, the little brother still doesn't know your honorable name, can you give it? ”

Wen Gongzi smiled incomprehensibly and said: "The name is just a symbol, is it not the original him if a person changes his name and surname?" You and I meet in Pingshui, and my son is a hurried passerby, and he may not have the fate to meet again. So today, it's enough to drink and talk, so why ask each other's names. By the way, I didn't just listen to Gongzi's poems to express his heart directly, just right, I think Gongzi is also good at this. Why not write a poem to help the wine? ”

Zhu Youzhen was dumbfounded when he boarded, let him compose poems, doesn't that mean that he wants to die! So he hurriedly waved his hand again and again, but Wen Gongzi did not give up, and he must recite poetry, otherwise he would be fined a hundred glasses of wine.

Zhu Youzhen thought to himself that although the alcohol in this era was not high, he had to be drunk to death if he had a hundred glasses. Just when he was in a dilemma, a half-drunk Confucian scholar at the side table sneered with his tongue wide open: "There is no ink on the chest, only a few taels of stinky silver, and I dare to come to this place where the heavens and the earth gather to spread wild!" ”

Zhu Youzhen has always eaten soft rather than hard, and when he heard this Confucian scholar ridicule himself like this, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart. Thinking about it again, since the crossing, Zhang Guan and Li Dai have done a lot of shameless things, not bad this time. So he smiled coldly and said loudly: "The words of the 'nine factions' of the young man of Fang Cai have made the little brother have some understanding. Now occupy a "Bodhisattva Man", please correct the axe. ”

Without waiting for others to interject, Zhu Youzhen slowly groaned: "The vast nine factions flow through China, and the heavy line runs through the north and south. The smoke and rain are reckless, and the turtle and snake lock the river. Where does the Yellow Crane go? There are only tourist places left. Drink the wine and get your heart high! ”

As soon as I groaned, everyone was shocked!
