The stone wall on the west side is divided in two, but on the other side there is a different scene: the ruined walls are already standing tall, and the ruined scene is as good as new. The place under the city wall where the shacks were originally erected has become a tiled house for the city guards, and the road to the city wall is no longer weeds and bones, but a wide avenue. On both sides of the avenue, the ears of rice are nodding hard in the autumn wind, and the ears of rice are full and long. The avenue is full of pedestrians, there are farmers who plough, there are merchants who carry burdens and sell everywhere, there are scholars who play, woodcutters who carry firewood, and children who lead cattle to herd cattle, their faces are full of joy, they all look at the rice fields on the side of the road, and feel the harvest of this year.

On the city wall, the handsome scholar was still dressed plainly, he stood on the city wall with an official hat, looking into the distance through the ear wall and pondering: maybe there are still places that need to be cultivated. The soldiers defending the city on the city walls were all brightly armoured, and their blades and armor glistened in the sun. The streets of the city are wide, and people come and go on both sides of the street, some stop to look at the goods on the stalls, and some are bargaining. The high-rise buildings on both sides of the street are also renewed, with restaurants, restaurants, and various shops lined up, creating a thriving scene. Standing under this stone wall, Xi Zhen first felt the suffering of the people, but their eyes were full of hope. Then he felt a scene of prosperity, isn't this exactly what a peaceful and prosperous world should be?

The stone wall on the south side is very simple, there is no vigorous story, only a man in a Taoist robe, standing on top of the stormy waves, the sword in his left hand and the sword in his right hand are raised high. The man's eyes widened angrily, as if he was looking at something, and the sword was carved with some unknown Taoist runes, which seemed to be emitting a dazzling golden light. Xi Zhen felt that the more he looked at this man, the more familiar he felt, and he tried hard to recall where this man seemed to have seen it. After thinking about it for a long time, it suddenly dawned on me: Isn't this man the true Confucian next to the man in the crown? It's just that he looks a little older here.

After looking at the stone walls on all sides, Xi Zhen became more and more dazed, he didn't know why Qian Shangren brought him here, and what kind of place is this, and what kind of story is hidden here? Xi Zhen looked at Qian Shangren blankly and asked, "Brother Qian, where is this? What kind of place is this?"

Qian Shangren smiled and said: "Brother Xian, aren't you very confused, don't these pictures have a sense of déjà vu?" Looking at Xi Zhen, who shook his head blankly, Qian Shangren smiled: "Okay, then you listen to me for you." ”

Qian Shangren pointed to the naval battle map on the east stone wall and said: "This seems to be a naval battle map, but in fact, it is not, this is not a naval battle, but the battle of Poyang Lake." Xi Zhen's eyes widened in surprise, and Qian Shangren pointed to the man in the dragon robe and said: "Thirty years ago, the Jiujiang River and the Poyang Lake basin were the territory of the Han King Chen Youliang, and the Shengshang was only the king of Wu who was enshrined by the former Yuan court at this time, and led the Pingzhang of Zhongshu Province in the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, the Han king's soldiers were strong and strong, and the navy was a tall sea ship, which was the so-called strong ship and good artillery. After Chen Youliang proclaimed himself the king of Han, he grew increasingly inflated, and finally led his army down the river from Poyang Lake thirty years ago, intending to take Jinling directly. ”

Unexpectedly, in Hongdu, Zhu Wenzheng and Lan Yu, two fierce generals, swore to defend to the death, the Han army attacked for nearly 100 days, and Zhu Wenzheng finally tied himself to the seriously injured himself at the head of the city to supervise the battle, and won more with less, so that the Han army retreated to Poyang Lake. At this time, King Wu led the water army to arrive, and the two sides fought a big battle in Poyang Lake, and finally the Han army was defeated, and Chen Youliang also killed himself in this battle. This person wearing the dragon robe is Chen Youliang, the king of Han, and the person wearing the crown is the king of Wu. Standing on both sides of King Wu were the later Xuanguo Gong, Zuo Prime Minister Li Shanchang and Sincerity Bo Liu Bowen. When Xi Zhen heard this, he suddenly realized, it turned out that this was the Battle of Poyang Lake, and the true Confucian was Liu Ji and Liu Bowen.

Xi Zhen has always respected Liu Bowen very much, it is rumored that Liu Bowen is not only Wen Tao Zhisheng, but also a Taoist master, and the folk have the saying of "Zhuge Liang in three parts of the world, and Liu Bowen in the whole country", and Xi Zhen is a Taoist family, and he is highly respectful of the Taoist masters.

The stone wall in the north naturally depicts the defeat of the Han army, Chen Youliang committed suicide, and the king of Wu and the Wu army are all happy.

Walking to the west stone wall, Qian Shangren said again: "At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it was barren, and there were scenes of starving people everywhere. In the past, the saint drove to Yangzhou, and saw that the prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River had become devastated, and there were only hundreds of old and young people in the city, sick and disabled, and there were even people who ate Yizi. The saint was shocked, and vowed to govern Yangzhou well, and return the world to a peaceful and peaceful world. At that time, Yang Xian, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, proposed a ten-year policy to govern Yangzhou, and the saint was very happy, so he ordered Yang Xian to know Yangzhou Mansion. After Yang Xian arrived in Yangzhou, in the face of the dilapidated city, he built the government under the city wall, and opened up the policy of benefiting the people, so that all the Yangzhou people who were exiled elsewhere returned to their hometowns. At the same time, Yang Xian also led all the government officials to go to the ground in person and reclaim the wasteland with the people, which also endured a lot of hardships. Yang Xian also lent the grain provided by the government for disaster relief to farmers as farming tools such as growing grain and cattle for housekeeping, and various policies for benefiting the people were implemented. In this way, although it is a bit painful, it makes Yangzhou recover its prosperity in five years. ”

Qian Shangren pointed to the other side of the west and said: "At that time, Yangzhou began to prosper, and people of all colors began to slowly enjoy the prosperity of Yangzhou City. Yang Xian was also transferred directly from Yangzhou to Zhongshu Province because of this, and even served as the left prime minister of Zhongshu Province, and his fame and fortune status were not under Hu Weiyong, and the scenery was unlimited for a while. Qian Shangren then lamented and said: "It's just that Yang Xian has implemented many iron-blooded policies to govern Yangzhou, which is cool officials and cool politics for some people." In the end, he was tripped by Hu Weiyong in the suspicion and murder of the saint, and fell into a criminal law of peeling the skin of daylily. It's sad, pitiful, and lamentable!"

Xi Zhen was naturally clear about these things that happened not long before him, but when he saw this in this stone room, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

When he came to the stone wall in the south, Qian Shangren asked Xi Zhen, "Do you know where this stone room is?"

Xi Zhen shook his head and didn't know, Qian Shangren replied: "More than 30 zhang up here, it is the place where the Sandiquan Waterfall falls. Xi Zhen was surprised, listened quietly, and did not hear the roar of the waterfall at all. Then he sighed: "It's really amazing."

Qian Shangren said: "After the Battle of Poyang Lake that year, Shengshang took Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen to the Lushan Scenic Spot to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the country. Liu Gongnai is a strange person in the world, and his skills are even more incomparable. Liu Gonghui knew that the three stacks of springs were the place where the wind and water arose, so he secretly wrote it down. Later, King Jing and the Western Regions nomadic rebellion, Liu Gong led the troops to quell the rebellion, saw the collection of dragon veins everywhere, so after the rebellion was put down, he wrote to the saint, looking for the national dragon veins and cutting them off, in order to protect the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years. At that time, Liu Gong went to Lushan again, and after carefully looking at the landform of Sandi Spring, he was shocked: This is where the dragon vein of the Ming Dynasty is located. So he wrote to the saint, and the saint secretly ordered Liu Gong to build this stone room and let people guard it. ”

Xi Zhen suddenly realized, it turned out that what was hidden in this stone room was the main vein of the Daming Dragon Vein, how could he know and inform me about such a confidential matter?

Qian Shangren seemed to see through Xi Zhen's thoughts, and said with a smile: "My father's surname is Ma, and he is the general under Tang He, and he has made many military exploits during the Battle of Poyang Lake with the Holy Shang. After the stone chamber was built, he secretly ordered his father to guard this place, and gave him the surname Qian and Danshu iron coupons. The father could have been an official viscount, but he could no longer be an official if he kept it secret. Therefore, the Holy God gave the Qian family to do business all over the country, using the identity of a merchant as a cover. From now on, the descendants of the Qian family can not bow down when they see the saint, and they can freely enter and leave the palace at any time with iron coupons, but they are not allowed to play anything except for the dragon vein. After my father left, he passed this secret to me and my brother, and ordered me to go down to the stone chamber once a day to observe, and if there was any trouble in the stone chamber, I must inherit the Son of Heaven. ”

"Then what is the use of this armillary sphere? If Brother Qian is inconvenient to tell him, it doesn't matter. Xi Zhen was shocked, pointed to the armillary sphere and asked Qian Shangren.

Qian Shangren said with a smile: "Brother Xian doesn't have to be like this, since I told Brother Xian about such a secret matter, I will definitely have no reservations." It is also because of what you have done in the past few days, especially the great sentence of chivalry, for the country and the people, that the foolish brother dares to tell such secrets, and asks the virtuous brother to keep it secret and not to spread it. ”

Before Xi Zhen could speak, Qian Shangren pointed to the armillary sphere and said: "This full name is the Bagua Armillary Sphere, which is a formation set up by Liu Gong according to the eight formations of Zhuge Wuhou when he built the stone room. In the formation, the Bagua Armillary Sphere was safe and sound, and if the beads in the mouth of these eight golden dragons fell down, they could not be put back again. Because if one bead is dropped, the fortune of the country will be less than a hundred years, and once the eight beads are not dropped, the dynasty will last for thousands of years. ”

Xi Zhen immediately felt incredible, and in his heart, he naturally believed in Taoism, because he was a Taoist apprentice himself. But he doesn't believe in the Xuanfa too much, and he doesn't believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, and now what Qian Shangren said is far beyond the scope of his own cognition. However, although Xi Zhen did not believe it, he did not refute it, he believed that how long a dynasty can be passed on depends on whether the ruler can win the hearts of the people and whether he can really take the well-being of the people in the world to heart. Those mysterious things are just man-made beliefs that put constraints on oneself to ensure that oneself does not mess with the world.

However, Qian Shangren believes very much, because the mission of their entire family is to protect the dragon vein from being damaged, and when the mission becomes faith, they will pay without regret and unswervingly believe.
