The night wind blew in from outside the house from time to time, causing the lights to sway even more. Cao Shuang thought to himself that if the previous Cao Shuang had been chopped down by the old thief Sima at the execution ground of Beimang Mountain in Luoyang, he might have been thrown into the wilderness and killed in the wild now.
The dogs gnawed until almost nothing was left but the bones.
In a few years, the world will only know where Sima Yi is buried, but no one knows where Cao Shuang's remains are. Even the "beauties" in his house, including Jian Jia, will be insulted by Sima Yi's men.
Then he was beheaded together with him in Beimang Mountain.
This is the miserable end of the loser in the struggle for power. The struggle between those in power and those who seize power has been so cruel since ancient times. Either you die or I live. Thinking of this, he thought of a poem from later generations and couldn't help but feel sad.
Then he chanted:
There is little vacant land at the top of Beimang Mountain, filled with old tombs of Luoyang people.
Many people buried the old tombs, and there were piles of gold with no place to buy them.
The funeral is getting closer and closer to the end of the world, and the hills and mountains are bumpy and bumpy.
The tall plain curtain surrounds the inscriptions and banners, and we sing dirges at night and stay in the mountains.
The north of Luoyang city returns to the east, and the soul chariot and the horse meet each other.
The ruts are as wide as Chang'an Road, and there are fewer sagebrush than pines and cypresses.
The stones on the bottom of the stream gradually become thinner, and they all look like sheep and tigers in front of the tomb.
Whose stone tablet has the text destroyed, and the descendants will retrieve the date and month of the book again.
Chariots and horses were brought back from the funeral, and the mansion and high platform were built back.
Sun Luban asked curiously: "Is this a poem written by your husband describing Beimang Mountain in Luoyang?"
Cao Shuang smiled dryly and said, "That's right. The name of this poem is Beimang Xing."
Sun Luban said again: "Husband, since I came to Luoyang with you, I have never been to Bei Mang Mountain. I heard that Mang Mountain is one of the most beautiful places in Luoyang at night, and it is quite beautiful.
If my husband is free that day, you can accompany me to take a good look at the evening view of Mang Mountain."
Cao Shuang thought for a while and said, "Okay, but there are many tombs on Beiman Mountain since the Zhou Dynasty, and there are also execution grounds on Beiman Mountain. I don't know how many people died there. The evil spirit is quite strong, which is not good for the fetus in the belly of the big tiger.
I think it’s better to wait until you give birth to the baby safely before I take you there, but I can take you to see other beautiful places in Luoyang.”
As he spoke, Cao Shuang gently leaned on Sun Luban's increasingly exposed belly, listened and said, "This child's heartbeat is so strong, he deserves to be my child."
Sun Luban pouted and said, "Okay, then just listen to your husband."
Cao Shuang said: "The most beautiful scenery in Luoyang is the mountain scenery of Yique (later called Longmen)."
Sun Luban asked curiously: "Husband, what is so strange about this first scene in Luoyang?"
Cao Shuang continued: "Two mountains here are facing each other, shaped like a gate. The Yishui River flows through it, like a long dragon passing through the gate. The two sides of Yique are Longmen Mountain and Xiangshan. Longmen Mountain was originally a connected whole, regardless of east and west.
After Dayu carved the dragon gate on the two mountains, it was divided into east and west halves. After that, the place was shaped like a gate, so it was named "Yique."
There are also famous places such as Pearl Spring and Yuwang Pool here. Longmen Dongshan is also known as Xiangshan, which is named after the fragrant kudzu produced. To the north is Pipa Peak, which is named because its plane shape resembles a pipa.
The Yishui River flows, green mountains stand on both sides, the clear river flows northward, the mountains are covered with lush trees, the birds sing gracefully, the blue springs splash, and the jade beads fall.
On the cliff of the West Mountain of Longmen, there are cracks in the stone, oblique leakage of skylight, and hanging waterfalls, which look like bead curtains. The water vapor evaporates and turns into clouds and mist, which is hazy and hazy. If you look at it from a distance, you may think it is a fairyland. But these interesting things can only be seen in the rain.
You can meet it later.
The Yiliu River is clear and shallow, the waves are clear and the sand is bright. The water splashes among the rocks. You can paddle with the waves for rafting. At the same time, in the foothills of the river, there is no danger of dangerous rock formations. You can climb high and look far."
Sun Luban said: "The beauty of Yique Mountain is indeed very good. I want to go there now. Does your husband have other beautiful scenery in Luoyang?"
Cao Shuang thought for a while and then said: "The second scene is the bell of the White Horse Temple in Luoyang. Every night when the moon is white and the wind is clear, when the morning light first appears, the chimes are struck in the temple and the Buddha chants. The bells are melodious and drifting, and can be heard in the distance.
Here, listening to it makes people feel relaxed and happy,
People nearby often hear the bells of the White Horse Temple ringing at the same time, and then the bells on the bell tower of Luoyang City also ring. Therefore, there is a popular saying that "if you ring a bell in the east, it will ring in the west, if you ring a bell in the west, it will ring in the east", which is also a legend in Luoyang.
scene."
After listening patiently, Sun Luban smiled and said: "This place is quite close. In a few days, my husband will take me to see it. I can also go to Baima Temple to let the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas bless me and give birth to my husband smoothly."
The next heir."
Cao Shuang said with a smile: "Since Dahu wants to go, I will accompany Dahu to take a look when I take my next bath this month."
Sun Luban added: "I heard people say that the bank of the Luo River is also a good place to cool off in the summer. Especially in the seasons of "golden wind to cool off the summer" and "half-moon and autumn", it is full of poetic and picturesque scenery. I also want to go there."
Cao Shuang said: "We are all in Dahu, but we have to go during the rest time. There are more people and it is more lively than before. The scenery along the Luohe River is indeed very good.
Even Cao Zijian, the king of Juancheng, fell in love with her. It is said that he met a goddess by the river, and he used the topic to write a wonderful "Fu on the Goddess of Luo"."
Sun Luban nodded and said: "The scenery in Luoyang is no worse than that in Jianye. I will definitely take a nice stroll with my husband in the future."
At the banquet, Cao Shuang hugged Sun Luban and said: "Don't worry, Dahu, I will definitely protect you and the beautiful scenery of Luoyang, and I will not let Luoyang be trampled by the iron hoofs of foreigners!"
Of course, I will also make sure to visit the place where you grew up in Jianye in the future and enjoy the scenery of Zhoushan Mountain, Jilong Mountain, North Lake (Xuanwu Lake), Zhongshan Mountain, and Stone City."
Beihu had gained some fame hundreds of years ago. In the thirty-seventh year of Qin Shi Huang's reign, Qin Shi Huang returned from his fifth tour. When he arrived at Jinling, several chimpanzees accompanying him saw the steep mountains and dangerous terrain around Jinling.
He told Qin Shihuang: Jinling has the spirit of the emperor.
Qin Shihuang was very unhappy when he heard this, and ordered people to dig out Fangshan Mountain to allow the Huaihe River to flow through Jinling to dissipate the royal anger. He changed Jinling to Moling, and the lake at this time was renamed Moling Lake.
At the end of the Jian'an period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang was on his way to Jiangdong and passed by Nanjing. He made a Feng Shui evaluation of "Zhongshan with dragons and dragons, stones and tigers perching on them. This is the residence of the emperor."
It became a training ground for naval forces.
During the late Han Dynasty, Jiang Ziwen, the captain of Moling, was buried by the lake.
Sun Quan changed the name to "Jiang Ling Lake" to avoid the taboo of his grandfather Sun Zhong's name, and diverted water into the back lake of the palace garden. Because Xuanwu Lake is located to the north of Yanque Lake and Taichu Palace, it is also known as "Back Lake" and "North Lake", which is also a summer
A great place to cool off.
Sun Luban listened to Cao Shuang's words and asked softly: "I hope that my husband will give my parents and brothers a way to survive and spare their lives."
Cao Shuang smiled and said: "Don't worry Dahu, if that day comes, I will definitely treat them well."
This is when Leng Chunyue also walked in, bowed slightly and said: "Master, madam, the hot water is ready."
Cao Shuang said: "Dahu, let's go. Didn't you just say that you wanted to serve and bathe your husband?"
Sun Luban responded: "Since I have said it, I will not regret it."
