Chapter 52: The Horizontal Knife Immediately

Xiao Yan has a little respect for the current emperor.

The current emperor of the Tang Dynasty is the Emperor of Changzhi, and his reputation is not very good, because the officials often criticize him for "lazy and lazy politics, playing absurd and lax laws", in short, it cannot be compared with the previous British lord of Jingzong.

Because Emperor Sejong Wen issued an edict "not to kill the officials", so the officials are very conscientious, most of them have family backgrounds, because this position can scold the emperor openly and without being offended, the officials of the family feel that it is dark, so the rank of the officials is not high, but they are regarded as "noble" by the family. But to be a counselor to the current emperor is really stuffy, this saint can roll up his sleeves and scold the counselor, can't kill you with a knife and kill you with words, every year to stun two counselors, Cui Xizhen is the left counselor, and he is very angry when he is the doctor of the left counselor, and he scolds the emperor as a "shameless scoundrel".

But it was such a "shameless scoundrel faint king" who made the officials have to scold a few words when they ate, quietly let Linyi split, Tubo civil strife, and Persian internal strife, and destroyed the thousand-year-old family that raised pirates and brought disaster to the southeast, uprooted the Goguryeo relics of the Andong Protectorate, and by the way, severely beat the restless Silla Baekje.

Xiao Yan said with admiration: "Where is the sage who is the faint monarch that the official said, this trick is really powerful." "It must have been a long time.

Xiao Cong snorted and said: "The official is right, today's saints are indeed lazy and ridiculous, it is true that they are not diligent in government, and there are also people who abolish the law for personal gain, shameless scoundrels, hehe...... "How many emperors can jump up and scold the officials?" If you want to lose the battle, you will cover your heart and shout: "Ah, ah, I am so angry with you that I am a guest", how many emperors are there who are playing tricks? Today's saint is definitely the emperor who "doesn't want to be cheeky first".

"But because of these, it would be very wrong to think that the saint was mediocre and inactive." Xiao Cong said this sentence slowly.

Xiao Yan thought of the three hundred beauties in the sage's harem and the "glorious deeds" of the little lady who went out of the palace in micro-suits, and felt that today's saint is the "emperor's selfless virtue" as mentioned in the history books. It's still good for Emperor Gaozong, he has courage to be an emperor and is virtuous, and sure enough, she still likes an emperor like Gaozong.

Xiao Cong said again: "The county lord of Qingchuan has been attacked many times over the years, even if he is not the chief envoy of the king of Qi, but if it is said that it has nothing to do with it, I am afraid that the saint will not believe it." "There are too many small actions that can be done in the dark, and the practice route of the county lord of Qingchuan has been leaked out.

Xiao Yan frowned, "Since the sage knew that King Qi was suspicious, why did he still let King Qi act?" If you have the heart to establish the king of Qi, then abolish the crown prince, why drag it out? "Isn't this fighting with two sons?

Xiao Cong said: "The sage is the one with the most heirs among the Tang Dynasty emperors in the past dynasties, with a total of thirty-seven princes and princesses, including ten princes who have opened a mansion as adults, seven princes who have reached the age of fifteen before opening a mansion, and six young princes...... There is no shortage of children for saints. Most of the adult princes who have opened the mansion also have strong children, and the king of Qi already has seven sons and two daughters, and even the eldest grandson. In contrast, the prince was sick and weak and had no heirs, only the eldest daughter and the youngest son, which was a big problem in the eyes of the sage. If the throne of the saint passes to the crown prince, who knows how many years the crown prince will last on the throne?

"The prince is qualified for the position of the prince in terms of virtue and ability, especially the bearing of the king, which is inferior to the other princes of the saints, and the people who have gotten along with the prince, whether they are official generals or Confucian scholars, do not say that the prince is not good, which shows his bearing and ability to convince people. The king of Qi is slightly inferior to the crown prince, but his ability is outstanding, he has served as the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, and he has outstanding political achievements, and he has a sharp spirit for the government, brings forth the new, and several reform measures proposed have won the hearts of the saints, and the king of Qi is now thirty-five years old, he is in the age of heroism, he is strong and healthy, and he has seven sons and one grandson, and there must be more children and grandchildren in the future, which are not as good as the prince.

"However, the sage has not abolished the crown prince and the king of Qi so far, perhaps seventy percent of the reason is due to the lord of Qingchuan."

Shen Qingyi said slowly: "Emperor Sun? ”

Xiao Cong nodded, "Father and Mr. Ren and Mr. Gu analyzed that the saint should have this meaning, but it is not clear. Therefore, the king of Qi wants to fight. The first time the county lord was assassinated, it is difficult to say that there was no King Qi stirring up trouble in secret, but the sage did not investigate it in detail, which was to acquiesce to King Qi to fight. ”

Xiao Yan frowned, "What if the county lord is assassinated?" ”

"Two tigers fight, only the only strong man can sit in the position of the tiger king. If the county lord of Qingchuan is assassinated and killed, it means that she is not strong enough. Xiao Cong said in a deep voice, "The sage is to choose the strongest one to inherit the throne of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Xiao Yan suddenly understood why the county lord of Qingchuan was getting stronger and stronger, because if he was not strong, he would die!

***

The next day, Xiao Cong began to exercise the duties of the military patrol of the soldiers, accompanied by Wei Yun, to review the soldiers' drills, prepare the army, and meet with military attachΓ©s at all levels. Xiao Yan accompanied by Xiao Cong's guards, and she was quite interested in reviewing the military drills on the first day, but she was not interested in inspecting the armaments on the second day, thinking that the fourth brother was very safe in the Weisheng Army, and she did not need her to accompany the guards, so she invited Shen Qingyi to go to Hengma Mountain to play.

But Shen Qingyi is not idle, and the noble ladies and officials of the Weizhou Shi family have already piled up a stack of worship posts, and they are preparing for the banquet.

Xiao Yan sighed, "I knew that I would go to the barracks with the fourth brother." ”

Shen Qingyi snorted, "You're boring with me?" ”

Xiao Yan rolled twice with the crypt in his arms, and sighed: "It's not boring, it's boring." Speaking of complaining about Wei Yingzhou, "Wei Sanlang, this guy said to fight with me, and no one knows where to run." ”

Shen Qingyi sat on the side of the couch and lined up the banquet list, and replied to her: "Are you as idle as you when everyone else?" "Xiao Cong is patrolling the Weisheng Army, and it's strange that the Weisheng Army can be idle.

Xiao Yan sat up one by one, knelt behind Shen Qingyi and squeezed her shoulders, and said with a smile: "I'm not idle now." ”

Qinghui continued to report the post, when she didn't see it.

Shen Qingyi was so close to Xiao Yan behind him, his breath was breathing in his neck, he was a little impetuous, and he was a little absent-minded, so he turned around and said to her: "If you stay bored, go to Hengma Mountain first." ”

Xiao Yan's hand pinching his shoulder stopped, and his chin lay on Shen Qingyi's shoulder and said, "Then I'll go explore the road first, and then turn back to my sister as a guide." ”

Shen Qingyi squinted at her, "Do you still need you to be a guide?" ”

Xiao Yan leaned on her shoulder and laughed, "Yes, yes, as soon as Mrs. Shizi beckons, all the ladies in Weizhou will rush to the door to recommend themselves." ”

She smiled, and her mandible rubbed against Shen Qingyi's shoulder.

Shen Qingyi felt that the shoulders were itchy, and it was itchy to the heart, so he pushed her away with his hand, and said angrily: "Sit aside, don't disturb me to do things." ”

Xiao Yan moved to the side, and said, "I heard that there is a sturgeon at the source of the Yanming River in Hengma Mountain, so I will go and catch one for my sister and come back to make Jin Suping." ”

Jin Suping is sturgeon roe steamed cake, the most delicious sturgeon is in the black water and millet water of Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, there may be sturgeon in the upper reaches of the Yanming River, but it is luck to be able to bump into it. Shen Qingyi smiled when he heard this, "Ah Yan had better bring overnight snacks." ”

Xiao Yan snorted, "My sister doesn't believe me." ”

Shen Qingyi smiled, instructed Bai Su to call Bingbi over, and looked at Xiao Yan with a smile, "If you can't meet a sturgeon, Luo can also make a difference." ”

Luo fish is the specialty of Yanming River, after breaking the ice in April and May every year, Weizhou has to send Luo fish to Hezhou quickly, it is the necessary fresh fish soup on Hezhou's noble meal, but no matter how fresh there is no fresh catch from Yanming River.

Of course, Xiao Yan should come down, and said happily: "The fish I will catch here must be the freshest." "Weizhou is located in the north cold, this spring came early, the ice has broken in early April, it is two days ago, Xiao Yan will go fishing is "early spring head fishing".

After a while, Bingbi came over.

Shen Qingyi ordered to go fishing in Hengma Mountain, and asked the general's mansion to send a few small servants to go with him. Bingbi responded, retreated and arranged.

Xiao Yan sat on the couch and flipped ""

Weizhou Chronicles", while listening to Shen Qingyi's affairs. After touching two teas, he reported that the manpower had been arranged. Xiao Yan said goodbye to Shen Qingyi and led Bingbi out of Zhirenyuan.

The five servants of the General's Mansion were already waiting outside the eaves gate of the East Road Courtyard. The group got on the horse and walked out of the general's mansion to the northeast city gate. After leaving the city, he galloped all the way, and after an hour he arrived at Hengma Mountain, which was one hundred and twenty miles away.

This mountain range is not only in the territory of Weizhou, it is from the territory of Yan Zhou Kingdom, extending 1,400 miles from northwest to southeast, separating the Tang Dynasty and Yan Zhou, the original name is Yanran Mountain, it is the ancestral land of the Northern Xiongnu of the Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty's cavalry general Dou Xian broke the Northern Xiongnu, and made Bangu carve a stone in Yanran Mountain, that is, the history book says "Le Shi Yanran".

Xiao Yan hit the horse and galloped to the Yanran slope of "Leshi Yanran". As she rode her horse, she chanted Wang Wei's famous poem: "The bicycle wants to ask the side, and the subject country lives in the extended." Zheng Peng out of Hanse, return to the wild goose into Hu Tian. The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river. Xiao Guan waited to ride, and he was all protected by Yan Ran. ”

The "Juyan" of "the subject country over Juyan" is south of Hengma Mountain, which was the military town of Juyan in the Tuoba Northern Wei Dynasty and the Yuwen Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Rouran Khanate in the north is now the Weizhou of the Tang Empire, and the iron barrier of the Yan and Zhou dynasties.

Bingbi took four small servants to the upper mountain stream of the Yanming River, and she only took a small girl to guide the way and went up the mountain. I went to Yanran Slope, and then went northeast to Sanfeng, which is the place of "Leshi Yanran" of the Tang Dynasty - Hengma Slope.

On the hillside, there is an octagonal stone pavilion that protects the stone stele, there is an eight-foot high stele in the pavilion, and the front of the inscription is four big characters, such as the sharp spirit of a blade, and like a mountain like a towering -

Horizontal knife immediately!

These four words are written by Emperor Gao Zongwu himself.

After the Tang Dynasty unified the north, Yuwen Northern Zhou and Gao's Northern Qi were driven to the west of Yinshan and the north of Youzhou, in the fourteenth year of Gaozu Wude, Yuwen Xianbei and Gao's Xianbei established the Yan Zhou State and the Oghuz Khanate to invade the Tang Dynasty, respectively, from the Yan Zhou State's Juyan Military Town and the Oghuz Khanate's Wolf Ye Military Town sent troops south, was defeated by Emperor Taizong, who was still the crown prince at the time, led the Tiance Army, occupied the Wolf Ye Military Town north of the Great Wall, set up as a town and Jing Erzhou, and occupied the Yinshan County of Juyan Military Town, set up as Guanzhou. After that, the two countries did not commit border for 30 years, and in the early years of Renzong, he once again stepped south, and the army was defeated. After more than ten years of dissipation, in the sixth year of Mingzong, he committed the border again and was defeated. After recuperating for more than ten years, in the fourteenth year of Gaozong, the two countries once again stepped south, united with a total of 200,000 allied troops from Mobei and Saiwai Zhuhu, and invaded Guanzhou, Zhenzhou, Jingzhou, and Youzhou by four routes.

Emperor Gaozong took Murong Qiu, the governor of Youzhou, and Xiao Cheng, the governor of Hexi Province, as the commanders of the east and west, and each led 70,000 troops to meet the enemy. Xiao Cheng recovered Guanzhou, and defeated the Yan and Zhou coalition forces in the Dadan grassland north of Guanzhou, chased to the foot of Yanran Mountain, killed more than 50,000 enemies before and after, Yan Zhou was beaten to the north of Yanran Mountain, and since then completely lost the Juyan military town south of Yanran Mountain, and the Tang Dynasty expanded into a 600-mile area. After receiving Xiao Cheng's good news, Gaozong smiled and said: "The horizontal knife is immediate, and the golden-faced Wen Hou is also." The four words under the book were given to Xiao Cheng. Xiao Cheng then asked the emperor to give the name Hengma Mountain, Gao Zongyun, Xiao Cheng carved the stone with the "horizontal knife immediately" of Gaozong's personal inscription to remember, and forever show the Tang Weide.

Yanran Mountain of Dahan has since become Hengma Mountain of Datang.

Xiao Yan stood in front of the stele of "Horizontal Knife Immediately" for a long time, she read these four words for a long time, and her whole mind was immersed in it. Emperor Gao Zongwu is not a martial arts master, but the four words she wrote gave Xiao Yan a sense of Taishan majestic in the face of martial arts powerhouses and a vast soup soup, which was a kind of majestic and broad atmosphere.

Xiao Yan closed his eyes and opened them again, slowly exhaling, only to feel that his inner breath was a little more thick and mellow.

She untied the autumn water knife, raised it horizontally to her eyebrows with both hands, and saluted the stele.

This is a real strong person, because her heart is incomparably strong, so her will can be as strong as a mountain, and her spirit can be as vast as the ocean.

Emperors, as it should be.

The author has something to say: I think the saint is cute~

The princess appears, everyone should wait patiently.
