Chapter 22: Dawn

After Chunting left, we dispersed at the same time, ready to go.

While packing up, I was mentally guessing whether this trip to Liyang was really as simple as Chunting said, just a simple excuse.

Because I thought about it carefully, this place was actually unusual, and in addition to the ones just now, I remembered some other records about Liyang.

Liyang, called Jundi in the Xia Dynasty, is located at the intersection of Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Shang Dynasty called Li, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Jundi has the city, Yongyu, Dunqiu, belongs to the Jin and Wei countries, until the time of Gaozu in the Western Han Dynasty, it was called Liyang.

And importantly, according to the Book of Shang. Yu Gong "record, in the early days of the Xia Dynasty, when Yu ruled the water, he had passed by the dredging land, and also specially visited the Da Ling Mountain in the territory, now the Yu Wang Temple, Huai Yu Bridge and the Huai Yu Road leading to the south of the mountain can be used as evidence, and at the same time because Yu once climbed here, so here all dynasties are called "Yu Gong Famous Mountain".

This place has been an important place for soldiers since ancient times, geographically belongs to the Haihe River Basin, there is the Wei River flowing from the edge of the city, since Yu has deliberately boarded here when he controls the water, and then think of the true identity of Dayu, we rushed to Liyang this time, maybe there is no such understatement as in the mouth of Chunting, maybe there will be unexpected gains.

As soon as I thought about this, I heard Ling Yan gently knock on the door and say to me through the door

"Brother Chuan, Brother Ting asked me to call you, saying that you can already go."

"Okay, I see, you can go and inform them."

I hurriedly responded to him, and at the same time, without thinking deeply, took my luggage and prepared to leave.

Peace of mind, efficiency.

That's how I feel about Chunting the longer I spend time together.

Chun Ting has the essence of "its speed is like the wind" in the art of war, and it was only a short time since he finished saying that he went to Liyang, and he heard Ling Yan inform us from room to room that we could go, and it was really amazing how efficient it was.

I, Chunting, Ling Xuan, Qi Zhi, Xue Nan, Shen Lang, plus ...... A monkey still holding a peach and nibbling on it.

This strange combination is the final configuration of our trip to Liyang.

Although I don't know why Chunting insisted on taking Wushuang with him, but looking at his appearance, there should be a reason why he had to bring it, but we don't know it.

Out of the main entrance of Lingyun Pavilion, I saw two cars parked next to the two stone lions, the appearance was low-key and calm, and the interior was high-end, but I didn't see a driver when I was wondering, Ling Xuan and Shen Lang sat in the driver's seat of the two cars respectively.

Qi Zhi saw that I was confused and explained to me, it turned out that there were many secrets of this trip, Chunting was not worried about outsiders driving, afraid that the purpose of our trip would be secretly noticed by people with intentions, so we only found a car, and drove to Liyang by our own people.

In the end, it was decided that Chun Ting, Xue Nan, and Shen Lang would lead the way in the front car, while I, Ling Xuan, Qi Zhi, and Wushuang would accompany me in the back car.

Everything was ready, everyone was seated in the car, and the two cars began to drive one after another, and I couldn't help but sigh with emotion when I thought about the destination this time.

He once laughed at the Chen family's song Yushu, but then looked at Qionghua. The Quartet is a safe day, who believes that there is an ancient family in Liyang? ”

Qi Zhi heard my whispering, but she didn't understand, and asked me curiously as she stroked Wushuang.

"Brother Chuan, what does this mean?"

I have slowly become accustomed to such an exciting life, as if every day will meet new challenges, this time I have started a new exploration, I am in a good mood, and I explain to Qi Zhi with a smile.

"This is the neck and tail couplet of the poem "Sui Di" written by Wu Rong in the Tang Dynasty, and the place where the poem is written is Liyang." There is a book shortage

The so-called head, jaw, neck, and tail refer to the four couplets of the poem, and the order of the ancient poems is that the first couplet is called the first couplet, the second couplet is called the jaw couplet, the third couplet is called the neck couplet, and the fourth couplet is called the tail couplet.

And Wu Rong is a poet of the Tang Dynasty, he was born in the fourth year of Tang Xuanzong, died in the third year of Tang Zhaozong, he was born in the late Tang Dynasty, died three years before the fall of the Tang Dynasty, therefore, Wu Rong can be said to be one of the witnesses of the demise of the entire Tang Empire, this "Sui Di" is his masterpiece.

Scratching the head of the Sui embankment and the sunset, there is no willow to hide the crow. In the past, the shore led the dragon ship, and the bottom of the river now comes to walk the calf cart.

once laughed at the Chen family's song Yushu, but then looked at Qionghua. The Quartet is a safe day, who believes that there is an ancient family in Liyang?

Wu Rong's poem "Sui Causeway", its first couplet writes the scene, there is a sunset, there is a Sui Causeway, there are willow trees, the scenery is bleak, and the jaw couplet writes about the old road dragon boat, the ox cart of the present dynasty, the comparison between ancient and modern, and the meaning of sighing is overflowing.

The neck couplet is an allusion to Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang once laughed at the queen of Chen, and ridiculed him for being the flower of the back garden of the jade tree known as the voice of the dead country, but in the end, Yang Guang was arrogant and lascivious, and he was no different from the queen Chen.

Of course, although Wu Rong didn't know, now we already know that Yang Guangqi is not arrogant and extravagant, and his failure is related to weak water, which is purely "the death of heaven, not the crime of war".

Speaking of "Sui Di", the last couplet of this poem is more profound. Among them, there is the meaning of the ancient family, and the ancient family is likely to refer to the general of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Xuangan.

Yang Xuangan is the son of Situ Yang Su of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Su defeated the Chen Dynasty, assisted Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to seize the throne, quelled the rebellion of the Han Dynasty, accumulated meritorious service to seal the Duke of Chu, and took the position of Situ, his son Yang Xuangan was good at reading since childhood, loved to ride and shoot, because of his father Yang Su's military merits awarded the pillar country, and Yang Su was the official worship of the second grade, and the father and son were in the same column when they visited the emperor in the court, which is known as a good story.

It is said that his body is majestic, bearded and beautiful, likes to read, and is good at arching horses, but because of his excessive reputation, he was suspicious of Emperor Yang of Sui, he was uneasy and planned to rebel, in the ninth year of the great cause, Emperor Yang of Sui took the opportunity to rebel when he went to Goguryeo for the second time, and was finally defeated by the general Yuwenshu, so that his brother Yang Jishan was killed and dedicated to the imperial court.

And the place where Yang Xuangan mutinied was in Liyang, and the Sui Book recorded his rhetoric for raising troops: "As a Shangzhu country, my family has a huge amount of gold, and as for wealth and nobility, I have nothing to ask for." Today, he ignores the people who break the family and destroy the clan, but he solves the urgent need for the world and saves Li Yuan's life. ”

From this point of view, Yang Xuangan's reason for raising troops is actually for the world, and Wu Rong's last couplet is actually a rhetorical question, if the world is really peaceful, who will believe his words? It alludes to the fact that the world is not peaceful, but in fact it is in turmoil.

Qi Zhi was amazed and looked at me curiously.

"Brother Chuan, why are you all so knowledgeable and talented, you know everything, compared to you, I seem to be lonely and unheard."

I laughed at myself, handed Wushuang a peach, and said helplessly as I looked at my temperament.

"No way, that's all I have to say, what else do I have besides these?"

Qi Zhi didn't know what she thought, her pretty face turned red, she hugged Wushuang and stopped looking at me, and it took me a long time before I heard a voice the size of a mosquito from her mouth.

"You're still ...... There's me......"

My heart warmed, but I couldn't help but ask.

"What do you say? I didn't hear you. ”

Qi Zhi was about to repeat, looked up and saw the smile on my face, where I didn't know that I deliberately pretended not to hear clearly, reached out and pinched my leg hard, turned his head and snorted.

"Nasty!"

Ling Xuan couldn't help but laugh out loud in the driver's seat, and for a while, the atmosphere in the car was extremely harmonious.

But this journey is too long, and it is really okay to sit for a long time, so I said to Ling Xuan, he will be tired after a while, and I will continue, I didn't sleep well the night before, and I want to rest for a while.

Ling Xuan saw that I was tired, and there was no reason to disagree, so I found a comfortable position, took the pillow that Qi Zhi had already prepared, and slept peacefully in the car.
