Leaving Zhang Juzheng's former residence, the two walked around the neighborhood again, and decided to set off in the evening and rushed to Chongqing overnight. Zhao Cui was afraid that Ma Xiaoliang would be tired of driving, so he simply sat in the co-pilot of the RV and ran all the way west! Passing by the Yichang service area, I stopped, and it was close to 12 o'clock in the morning, so I simply spent the night here! Stopped in the service area, Ma Xiaoliang arrived at the water tank in the bathroom, added new water, and at the same time found a place to charge, and when everything was safe, he closed the charging port, and then returned to the car, only retaining the air conditioner and night light, and Zhao Cui was ready to sleep!

Although it is in the high-speed service area, there are constantly various vehicles passing by, but it is quiet after closing the glass, Zhao Cui took a shower, and then lay on the bed behind him with a bath towel and slept, Ma Xiaoliang slept on a small bed at the door for safety reasons, and the alarm and monitoring outside the car are in operation, but because it is in the service area, it is estimated that it is not a big deal! After a while, Zhao Cui felt that it was not safe to sleep, so she came over and pulled Ma Xiaoliang over, and untied the bath towel, Ma Xiaoliang was a little physically and mentally exhausted: "Drive continuously, or let me sleep!" Zhao Cui smiled: "Okay, but I want you to sleep with me!" "That's it, I slept until dawn, filled up the service area, bought breakfast, and continued on my way!

Starting from Yichang, there are various mountains along the way, constantly passing through various tunnels! Zhao Cui complained that the mobile phone had no signal, but fortunately, Ma Xiaoliang installed the car WIFF and solved the network problem, so Zhao Cui had to use the car WIFF to watch the drama! There are many tunnels along the way, and it feels like coming out of one tunnel and entering another, surrounded by vast green hills! Following the highway all the way to the west, occasionally crossing the Yangtze River and various rivers, at this moment Ma Xiaoliang felt that it was really difficult to go to the sky! remembered that Li Bai wrote a poem "Early White Emperor City", which said, "Between the white emperor and the clouds, thousands of miles of Jiangling will be returned in one day!" "The Jiangling here is Jingzhou, and now I actually go all the way from Jingzhou to the White Emperor City! By the way, according to the navigation, the first 100 kilometers is the White Emperor City! So Ma Xiaoliang said to Zhao Cui: "Why don't we go to the White Emperor City!" Zhao Cui was watching the drama in the back, saying yes! So Ma Xiaoliang prepared to leave the highway according to the navigation and go to White Emperor City!

Baidi City, located on the north bank of the Yangtze River at the mouth of Qutang Gorge in Fengjie County, Chongqing, on Baidi Mountain in the east of Fengjie, is a well-known historical city in the Three Gorges Basin. When it comes to the White Emperor City, many people will think of a good story of monarchs and ministers that has been transmitted for thousands of years: the White Emperor City is Gu, and the king here is Liu Bei, the benevolent and righteous king of the Three Kingdoms period, and the minister is Zhuge Liang, who has been famous for thousands of years.

However, compared with the Three Kingdoms period, the White Emperor City has come much earlier. Probably at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, due to Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, the Central Plains at that time was in the stage of competing for the deer, when Wang Mang's general in Sichuan Gongsun Shu had the heart of self-reliance, occupied Sichuan, called himself the king of Shu, and recruited troops in Sichuan to strengthen the strength. At that time, there were two roads into Sichuan, one was from Hanzhong, the other was from the waterway, one day, Gongsun Shu rode a horse to the mouth of Qutang Gorge, saw that the terrain was dangerous, difficult to attack and easy to defend, so he expanded the city fortress, and the troops were strictly defended. Later, Gongsun Shu heard that there was a white crane well in the city, and a white mist often came out of the well, and its shape was like a white dragon, reaching straight into the nine heavens. Gongsun recounted the mystery and said that this was "the white dragon out of the well", which was a sign that he would inevitably ascend the throne in the future. Therefore, he called himself the White Emperor (25 years), so he built the capital here, and the city Chiziyang City was named "White Emperor City", and this mountain was also renamed "White Emperor Mountain".

However, with the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty by Liu Xiu, he sent two directions of water and land to pacify Sichuan, of which the waterway was from Jingzhou, along the Yangtze River all the way to the west, into Shu. Due to the extremely fierce fighting in the vicinity of the White Emperor City, the White Emperor City was destroyed in the war, and the remains of the city wall are still visible. Due to the great chaos in the world at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, only the area around the White Emperor City is relatively calm, the local people are very grateful, build a temple on the White Emperor Mountain, set up its statue to worship, so it is called "the White Emperor Temple". The White Emperor Temple is located on the White Emperor Mountain at the mouth of Qutang Gorge. From a distance, the red walls are visible, the trees are lush, and the pavilions are dotted with questions. When the morning glow is like brocade and colorful clouds, there is more beauty of Xianshan Qiongge.

Since then, all dynasties and dynasties have worshiped the White Emperor, until the Ming Dynasty, because at that time it was believed that Gongsun Shu belonged to rebellion, not the orthodox emperor, Zhengde seven years that is, in 1512, the governor of Sichuan moved the statue of Gongsun Shu away, worshiped the god of the river, the god of earth and the statue of Ma Yuan, and at the same time the White Emperor Temple was changed to "Sangong Temple". In the twentieth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, that is, in 1533, the statues of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were changed, and the "Three Princes Temple" was changed to the "Righteous Temple", and later the statues of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were added, which is also the main reason why the White Emperor Temple is no longer dedicated to the White Emperor.

What really made the White Emperor City famous all over the world was not Gongsun Shu, but the great drama of a generation of monarchs Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was also in turmoil, and the Han court at that time was already in turmoil, until Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and there was a trend of unification. After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao dominated the north, Sun Quan sat in Jiangdong, and Liu Bei crossed Jingchuan. At that time, before Zhuge Liang went out of the mountain, he made a Longzhong pair to Liu Bei: if you cross Jing and Yi, protect its rock resistance, the west and Zhurong, the south Fu Yiyue, the outside of Sun Quan, and the internal cultivation of politics; If there is a change in the world, he ordered a general to take the army of Jingzhou to Xiang Wan and Luo, and the general led the people of Yizhou out of Qinchuan. If this is the case, then the hegemony can be achieved, and the Han family can be prosperous. For Liu Bei, who longed all his life to restore the Han dynasty and return to the old capital, after years of struggle, he finally became strong and strong, spanning Jingzhou, Xichuan, and Hanzhong, and was promoted to the king of Hanzhong.

But everything will not be smooth, no one thought that when Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, shocked Huaxia, and even Cao Cao had to plan to move the capital to avoid its edge, Dongwu, who had always been an ally, stabbed a knife in the back, Lu Meng crossed the river in white clothes, and took Jingzhou lightly, and soon after, Guan Yu was defeated in Maicheng under the encirclement and suppression of Cao Cao and Sun Quan's two armies, and then was killed. For Liu Bei, this is just like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Guan Yu is the second brother to Liu Bei, and he is like a brother; Jingzhou is the foundation of Liu Bei, whether it is the Eastern Expedition or the Northern Expedition, it must not be lost. Without Guan Yu, it is like cutting off an arm, the pain of the skin; Losing Jingzhou is like losing half of the country and sitting in Sichuan. It is reasonable to say that Eastern Wu is Liu Bei's ally, but there are no eternal friends or permanent enemies, only eternal interests. In the face of Liu Bei's strength, Guan Yu's soldiers, whether it was Cao Cao or Sun Quan, had a feeling of dying and cold, once Liu Bei's Northern Expedition was successful, Eastern Wu would enter the countdown.

Soon after, Cao Cao died of illness, and Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty as emperor, and for Liu Bei, it was difficult to choose whether it was the Northern Expedition or the Eastern Expedition. After a difficult choice, Liu Bei decided to go east and recapture Jingzhou. Many people don't understand and think that Liu Bei is because of brotherhood, in fact, for Liu Bei, the best route for the Northern Expedition is to go north from Jingzhou, with Sichuan as the rear, rather than crossing the Qinling Mountains and losing Jingzhou. In fact, Zhuge Liang also understood this truth, but because many ministers objected, they thought that Cao Wei should be targeted first, and at the same time they were worried that the Eastern Expedition would be defeated, not to mention that the alliance with Eastern Wu itself was Zhuge Liang's suggestion, so he was silent.

Because Zhuge Liang's brother Zhuge Jin was also an important minister in Eastern Wu, and Zhuge Liang had a good relationship with Eastern Wu, Liu Bei's Eastern Expedition did not take Zhuge Liang at all, perhaps because Zhuge Liang was guarding Chengdu, and he could also guard against a sneak attack from Wei. Liu Bei led the remnants of the army to retreat, while Eastern Wu did not pursue deeply because he was worried about Cao Wei's sneak attack.

Liu Bei, who retreated to the White Emperor City, did not return to Chengdu due to physical reasons and many factors. For Shu Han at that time, the White Emperor City must not be lost again, otherwise Shu Han has the risk of losing the country, which is also an important reason why Liu Bei has been stationed in the White Emperor City in the end. Liu Bei, who was in the White Emperor City, was not full of remorse, his health was deteriorating, and he probably couldn't stand the toss, so he summoned the prince Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang who were stationed in Chengdu to the White Emperor City to support him.

For Liu Bei, the struggle from a straw sandal seller to a generation of emperors is itself a magnificent history of personal struggle, which is quite inspirational. However, for Shu Han, this is a fateful moment, just experienced a fiasco, Shu Han's national strength weakened, Cao Wei eyed the tiger, Sun Quan Chen Bing Jiangshang, and the domestic situation is unstable, the crown prince Liu Chan can not govern the country independently, Liu Bei knows that after his death, if he wants to stabilize the situation, there must be a minister of Tuogu, just like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Tuogu Huo Guang, Liu Bei chose to Tuogu Zhuge Liang. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty entrusted Gu Huo Guang, and at the same time there were four important ministers to assist, Huo Guang was powerful, abolished the emperor but did not usurp the throne (abolished Liu Heli Liu Xun), Liu Bei knew this story well, so he also entrusted Gu Zhuge Liang, granted full power, and also gave Zhuge Liang the right to abolish the emperor (Jun Cai ten times Cao Pi, will be able to stabilize the country, and the final will be great. If the heir can be supplemented, it will be supplemented; If you are not talented, you can take it yourself. At the same time, he entrusted Li Yan to protect the central capital, unified the internal and external armies, stayed in Yong'an, and Zhuge Liang was bequeathed and subordinated.

In fact, many people only remember Liu Beituo and Gu Zhuge Liang, but ignore Li Yan. For Liu Bei, Li Yan was born in Shu Han and has a high reputation, and he is also a minister of Tuogu, which can not only win the hearts of the local people in Shu, but also prevent Zhuge Liang from seeking the dynasty to seize the throne (it is okay to abolish the emperor, after all, Huo Guang has also done it, but it is not possible to change the dynasty), but Li Yan was soon deposed by Zhuge Liang, who took charge of the military and politics and became the de facto ruler of Shu Han. Many people think that Liu Bei Tuogu is a monarch and a minister, but Liu Bei still left a back hand, but Li Yan was finally reprimanded, and he was also to blame, Zhuge Liang finally bowed to his death and left a good story for the ages.

There have been many times in history, but this time can be said to be perfect, starting and finishing. Zhuge Liang served the country all his life, went out of Qishan six times, and finally died of illness in Wuzhangyuan. From the White Emperor City to Wuzhang Plain, witnessed the fall of Shu Han, and soon after, Deng Ai's army arrived, Liu Chan surrendered out of the city, and since then, Shu Han has died. Thousands of years have passed, and only the Yangtze River has been seen. Since the Three Kingdoms, there have been countless celebrities and inkmen, among which Li Bai is the most famous: "The White Emperor is among the clouds, and the thousands of miles of Jiangling are returned in one day", a few simple strokes, writing the brisk and clear of the White Emperor City. However, the most memorable thing is probably the White Emperor City Tuogu, a rare story of monarchs and ministers in this history. For those who want to enjoy the scenery of the Three Gorges and the culture of the Three Kingdoms, the White Emperor City is a place that cannot be missed. Soon arrived at the White Emperor City, Ma Xiaoliang chose to find a place to live, stop and add water, at this time it was already the beginning of the lights, and he was ready to visit tomorrow!
