"If a person can survive the years of war and chaos, even if he is a poor beggar, he will have a great dream of the emperor in his heart. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Sometimes, there is always a kind of rule that seems to exist in the world, but if you deliberately look for the rules between the heaven and the earth, it will often outweigh the loss, just like the autumn leaves, you look at the stacked layers of leaves under the tree and think that all the leaves are falling under the tree. But there is always one or two leaves flying into the distance, and you think you see all the leaves, but there are always some leaves that you can't see.
This world is so mysterious, knowing that people's fate is ethereal, but they still have to grasp this leaf of fate, Liu Yu returned to this Jingkou in order to be ordered to find a leaf in this troubled world, and what made him come here to find the real power among the current Beifu generals, Liu Gaozhi.
"Uncle Liu? How did these kids come along? Didn't you say you wouldn't let me tell anyone? How do these kids know? Tan Daoji couldn't help frowning as he looked at the group of children behind him who were walking with them towards Jinghyeon Mountain.
Liu Yu looked at the children behind him, but said with an unfathomable expression, "There are some things that some people should know, and some people shouldn't know." At this time, Liu Yu was still a martial artist in the eyes of others, but he himself never felt that he was a martial artist, he was ambitious, in his opinion, whether it was Liu Gaozhi, who now held the real power of the Beifu soldiers, or Huan Xuan, who was in charge of the power of the court, he didn't think that others were better than him.
He specially found a group of children and let these children know that he was here to find the dragon vein broken by the First Emperor on the order of Liu Gaozhi, Liu Yu only wanted these children to know? He wanted Huan Xuan to know that it was Liu Gaozhi who asked him to come, and he had also worked under Sun Wuji for so many years, and he also knew that if there was no struggle, a person like him from the grassroots would have no future and now there would be no war, then Liu Yu would create infighting for them!
The contradiction between Huan Xuan and the Beifu soldiers began as early as when his father Huan Wen was in power, and the Beifu soldiers and the Huan family, who held the real power of the central government, are now like a jar of spirits, which is on fire. At that time, Huan Wen was outstanding and pretentious, so he also had a long ambition, and launched the Northern Expedition three times in the hope of establishing meritorious service first, and then returning to the dynasty to accept Jiuxi, so as to seize power.
Some readers may not know what it means to add nine tin, and the "Later Han Shu Yuan Shao Biography" notes "Lihan Wenjia" and says: "Jiuxi is one chariot and horse, two is clothing, three is musical instruments, four is Zhu Hu, five is Na Ma, six is a hundred tigers, seven is an axe, eight is a bow and arrow, and nine is a straw." ”
Before the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Mang, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and even Sima Zhao, the founder of the Western Jin Dynasty, also accepted; After the Jin Dynasty, the founding emperors of the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen dynasties all received "Jiuxi", so "Jiuxi" became synonymous with usurpation.
In the first year of Xian'an (371), Huan Wen followed Xi Chao's advice and deposed Sima Yi in this year, and set up Sima Yu, the king of Huiji, as the emperor, as Emperor Jianwen. However, this Emperor Jian Wen died in the second year, and Emperor Xiaowu Sima Yao ascended the throne. It was also in this year that Huan Wen led the army to Jiankang outside the city in February of the first year of Ningkang (373) on the grounds of entering Beijing to pay tribute to Emperor Jianwen, preparing to kill the minister to establish it. He ambushed the soldiers in Xinting in advance and ordered Xie An and Wang Tanzhi to be summoned.
At that time, the people in the capital were panicked, Wang Tanzhi was very scared, and asked Xie An what to do. Xie An said calmly: "Jin Zuo survives, and he is here." Wang Tanzhi went out of the city with Xie An and came to the Huanwen camp, sweating so nervously that his clothes were wet, and the board in his hand was upside down. Xie An sat down calmly, and then said to Huan Wen with a calm expression: "I heard that the princes of the Tao are stationed in the four directions, why should the Ming Duke ambush the soldiers behind the scenes?" Huan Wen had to give an embarrassed order to remove the ambush. A generation of heroes Huan Wen did not become an emperor until he died, maybe it was really to fulfill his father's unfulfilled wishes, Huan Xuan's dream of being an emperor was even stronger than his father's! And the contradiction between Huan Xuan and Beifu Bing is also stronger than ever.
In Liu Yu's opinion, no matter this Huan Wen and Liu Gaozhi, the more ruthless they fight, the more they can be valued, and only in this way can he gain more power, so he must let Huan Xuan know about the things that Liu Gaozhi entrusted to him!
And this time, Liu Gaozhi listened to the words of a metaphysical master in Jiankang at that time, so he sent Liu Yu to look for the dragon vein. This Wei and Jin metaphysics has a huge influence on Chinese culture, these Wei and Jin metaphysics everyone has studied Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and Buddhism, the Wei and Jin dynasties paid attention to "Laozi", "Zhuangzi" and "Zhou Yi", called "three Xuan", and "Laozi" and "Zhuangzi" are regarded as "Xuanzong". The main representatives of Wei and Jin metaphysics are He Yan, Wang Bi, Ruan Ji, Ji Kang, Xiang Xiu, Guo Xiang, etc. At this time in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was also a strange person named Zhang Zhan. This Liu Jiaozhi listened to Zhang Zhan's words, and only by removing the boulders in the Dantu Cave on this mountain can this dragon vein reappear.
The Naqi people told Liu Gaozhi that there were signs of dragon vein migration in Dantu County, Jinling County, and this dragon vein was the dragon vein broken by Qin Shi Huang back then. In 221 BC, Qin Shi Huang eliminated the princes of the Six Kingdoms and unified all of China. In order to ensure its unification of the country for thousands of years, Qin Shi Huang issued a decree to drive more than 3,000 ochre-clothed prisoners, and rushed to Jingxian Mountain in the starry night, called building Chi Road, but in fact, it was to cut down ancient trees and famous trees, split mountains and cut mountains, cut off its "dragon veins", defeat its "feng shui", and painstakingly renamed Guyang as "Dantu", as the name suggests, that is, the land of red-clothed prisoners.
There is a poem that says, "Chisel Jingxian ordered the ochre clothes to be apprentices, although the name and image have existed for a long time, it has not reached the sea in the east of Lintao, and the Great Wall has been built and died." The general meaning of this poem is that Qin Shi Huang has broken the dragon vein and the Great Wall has been built, why did the Qin Dynasty still perish? Liu Yu looked at the people behind him and followed him all the way, and said with a smile: "Later, let's go to the Dantu Cave in Jingxian Mountain and remove the boulder in the cave!" You children come over and help me remove the boulder, I, Liu Yu, will not treat you badly! ”
This Dantu Cave is said to be to bury the ochre-clothed prisoners who were tired to death when the dragon vein was broken, and this cave is also named Dantu Cave, and this cave is said to have been guarded by a white strange bird, but anyone who enters this Dantu Cave will be bewitched by this white bird, lose their minds, and suffer from madness.
So at this time, when these eleven or twelve-year-old children heard that Liu Yu was going to this Dantu Cave, they were all panicked.
"What, General Liu is going to take us to that cave to move stones!" These children looked at Liu Yu with a frightened expression, and Na Tan Daoji also looked at Liu Yu with some hesitation.
"yes, what's wrong? Let's go and remove the stone that is pressed in the hole, and even if this thing is over, I won't let you suffer!" Liu Yu said to these children.
The reason why he came with a group of children this time, instead of sending soldiers, was because although Liu Yu didn't believe in those Fang Shi, he was afraid that if what Fang Shi said was true, there was really some dragon vein here, and he didn't want this thing to go into the hands of others, so he said to this Liu Gao's affection, "This matter is even important, and my subordinates are willing to go in person!" ”
