When we go out hand in hand like this, we are like young girls on a spring outing on the road, traveling together with a little expectation and satisfaction to visit the "Eight Scenes of Shangjing". www. Shangjing is located in the north, so naturally it is not as bright and beautiful as Zhongjing in the south, with mountains and rivers like pearls.
Shining. However, there are also very famous "eight sceneries", namely: fishing in Wanquan, rows of green sky pillars, clear snow on Huishan Mountain, lotus flowers in the flower pond, bells ringing in the imperial temple, evening crossing of the Hun River, sunset in Tawan, and summer resort in Liutang.
In particular, "Huishan Qingxue" has the best scenery. However, Xuanqing sighed: "The place with the best scenery may not be the most enjoyable for tourists."
I couldn't help but be curious and asked: "Why do you say that?"
Xuanqing looked up at Huishan with his hands behind his hands and said calmly: "Beautiful and unique places in the world can often be found in dangerous places. However, people in the world are often obsessed with peace and happiness and are afraid of dangerous places. They are often only willing to pass on their good names orally and refuse to visit them personally.
Just like the clear snow in Huishan, there are many people looking up at the foot of the mountain, but there are few people going up the mountain to watch the snow."
I followed the words and looked around, and sure enough I saw crowds of people at the foot of the mountain, but the top of the mountain was lonely and lonely with ice and snow. All I could see was that Yushan stretched across like a crouching dragon, and the sunlight reflected on it, shining like dazzling crystals, which was fascinating.
Endless.
Xuanqing said: "Huishan Mountain is a hundred feet high. Looking to the north from the top of the mountain, you can see the dazzling red sun of the desert. Looking to the south, you can see the infinite beauty of mountains and rivers in Beijing. What an open view this is."
In the past few days, we visited the evening crossing of the Hun River, the sunset in Tawan, and the fishing in Wanquan. The scenery was just a little better than the usual scenery. If not for his company, it would have been just ordinary. Now when I heard Xuan Qing say it, I couldn't help but yearn for it.
I said enthusiastically: "Since no one is willing to go, why don't we go up ourselves." I paused, and said sincerely, "The mountains are full of ice and snow, only for you and me."
Xuanqing and I looked at each other, smiled, touched my shoulder lovingly, and said, "I'm just talking. It's so cold on the mountain, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it. We didn't bring any clothes with us today, and we didn't bring much money."
.”
I smiled pretty and said, "What are you afraid of?"
I looked around the crowd and saw a vendor in the distance carrying sable and fox furs for sale. I waved him over and looked over and saw that the quality was good. I reached out and pulled out the red gold pomegranate hairpin from my bun and handed it to the vendor, smiling.
: "I'll trade this with you for three sable cloaks, okay?"
He looked at me suspiciously and didn't dare to pick it up for a while. I pointed to a pair of thumb-sized round pearls on the hairpin and said to him in detail: "It's just red gold. This pearl is at least worth ten baskets in your hand."
You won’t lose money on a mink like this.”
The dealer held it carefully in his hand and looked at it again and again. For fear that I would regret it, he hurriedly hid it in his arms. With a smile on his face, he picked the three best mink cloaks and sent them to me. He also gave me gloves and a scarf.
, and left happily.
Huanbi couldn't help but feel a little distressed and said: "It's really not cost-effective to exchange for such a beautiful pearl for these three mink skins."
I laughed it off and said, "You can't buy happiness with a thousand pieces of gold, so why should you be stingy with a pearl? It's just a pearl."
Xuan Qing smiled and took my hand and said: "If you are willing to love Mingzhu in exchange for a smile, you are like this. Your bright and generous temper is the best."
Xuanqing wanted to call two soft sedans to carry Huanbi and I up the mountain. However, when the sedan bearers heard that we were going to the top of Huishan Mountain, they waved their hands in a hurry and persuaded with a grimace: "Young master and girls are in a good mood, but this is the top of Huishan Mountain."
It's all snowy, it's really cold, and the road is slippery, making it difficult to walk. We won't go on this errand."
I stopped his hand and said with a smile: "There's no need to go to any trouble, let's just go as we please. Wherever we can go, that's where we are, and we'll be very happy."
Huan Biyi smiled softly and said: "Master, don't underestimate me and the young lady, we are not the delicate ones who can't help but be frail."
Xuan Qing put his hands on his hands and laughed, "Since the two girls said so, Qing naturally cannot show weakness to others and will definitely accompany him to the end. But there is something that he has to prepare for."
I couldn't help but be curious and asked: "What is it?"
Xuanqing took out a package of something from his pocket. The smell was very unpleasant, the color was yellow, and it was powdery.
Huanbi came closer to smell it, frowned and said, "It smells so pungent, what is it?"
Xuan Qing said: "It's snake medicine. The top of Huishan is full of ice and snow, but it's not the most terrifying thing. No matter how cold it is, just wear more clothes." He looked solemnly, "There is one most terrifying thing in Huishan, and it's the cold.
Snakes. People who have never been to Huishan don’t know such a thing. Other snakes hibernate when they reach cold places, but the cold snake does not. It can still move freely, and it can only live in ice and snow. Cold snake
Although it is small, it is highly venomous. If it is bitten, it may range from coma to death. Applying these snake medicines can ensure that you are safe. In case of being bitten, it can be taken internally and externally, and it will also have some effect." Xuan Qingjian saw
Huanbi and I looked surprised and frightened, and smiled and comforted: "However, cold snakes will not attack people actively, and there are not many in Huishan. However, although we may not encounter them, it is better to be fully prepared.
"
Huanbi was scared and said: "In this case, we might as well not go to the top of the mountain. The cold snake sounds scary."
Xuan Qing smiled and said, "It would be a pity to abandon such a scenery for one snake and two." He looked at me, "Huan'er, what do you think?"
I stared at the snake medicine in his hand and said with a smile: "Isn't it said that having it will ensure that there is no danger?" After saying that, I took the snake medicine and wiped it on my hands. Xuanqing smiled knowingly and wiped it on his body.
I said to Huanbi: "If you are afraid, you can just wait for us here. I will come with him as soon as we go."
Huanbi looked at me, then at Xuanqing, her eyes lit up slightly, and she whispered, "I'm going too."
In fact, the mountain road is not difficult to walk. The foot of Huishan Mountain is full of lush green trees. The trees are towering and upright. The leaves are broad, crisp, light and soft, which are very beautiful. As you go up, the trees become more dense and the color turns to pale black.
Because of the pines and cypresses, pine needles have fallen all over the ground. They are very soft when you step on them, as if you are stepping on a brocade carpet. However, the color of the pine needles may be green or pine yellow, but they are more beautiful than the usual rich and brilliant red clusters of gold brocade.
Go up several times, and you will see the natural charm. Further up, the long green grass splendens has turned into short clusters of grass and moss close to the ground. There are a few trees here and there, with strong and rugged branches, vigorous and proud*
*In the meantime.
Originally, there were many tourists at the foot of the mountain where there were many trees, but when we reached the grassy area, there were very few tourists. Occasionally, a few people stopped, wearing warm mink fur furs, but they also hesitated and stopped moving forward. They all raised their heads and looked up at the bright ice and snow on the mountain, making a sound.
Surprised.
It was still sunny and warm weather in early autumn just now at the foot of the mountain. When we reached the mountainside, I felt the cold wind blowing through my bones. The cold air was like a knife, and Huanbi's body was already trembling slightly, leaning next to me.
Xuan Qing glanced at her, smiled at me, and said, "Ma'am, please decide, should we go up?"
I glanced at him with a smile and said angrily: "He's becoming more glib and glib. It's really annoying."
I looked up at the top of the mountain. Under the clear sky like the blue sea, the snow-capped mountains towered like a jade dragon leaping and undulating. The sunlight as bright as golden powder shone on it. That kind of brilliance and sacred nobility, that kind of white holiness that seemed to hang from the sky, made me
I couldn't help but hold my breath and feel reverence.
For some reason, I suddenly had an urge to go to the top of the mountain to have a look, that feeling of being at the top of the mountain and overlooking the world. I affirmed: "Now that I'm here, it's natural to go. Instead of looking up all my life, it's better to climb it myself."
Go up and take a look."
I asked Huanbi to wrap up the silver-gray mink fur cloak, and then took a dark purple cloak to put on him. He actually looks good in such a dark purple to black color, and he looks more majestic and majestic, as if he is rising from the clouds.
Come, I can't hide the nobility and elegance in my body. I helped him tie the knot on the mink fur. The mink fur was oily and smooth. When I brushed the back of my hand, I felt the gentle touch. My heart suddenly softened and I raised my eyes to look at him.
But he happened to be looking at me, with a gentle look in his eyes that was even better than the warmth and softness of a mink fur. He stretched out his hand to hold my hand. I lowered my head, smiled, and whispered, "What are you doing? Huanbi is here too."
His smile was gentle but firm, "I just want to hold your hand and walk with you all the way, no matter the wind or snow."
An extremely warm temperature overflowed from my heart, just like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, shining brightly and brilliantly on my body, bathing me in brilliance.
My smile bloomed from ear to ear, like spring flowers blooming all at once. I said in a low voice: "Okay."
My fingers are clasped tightly with his, intertwined one by one. This gesture of holding hands is what he said is the "jointly clasped" posture. If our fingers are intertwined, we will not be separated in life or death.
He held my hand with one hand and tied up the sable cloak for me with the other. The tips of the sable's hair were dotted with silvery gray. From a distance, it was a little lighter than the one he was wearing, but it complemented it perfectly.
, Huanbi had also dressed up, and the three of them went up the mountain together.
The mountain road is getting steeper and steeper. Because it is inaccessible, ice and snow gradually cover it, making it almost roadless. There are no traces of new snow. There are two pairs of footprints winding up the road ahead, and the footprints are clear.
I couldn't help but secretly wonder, and said to Xuan Qing: "There is someone who shares our interest and got there first."
Xuan Qing also smiled, "That's good, it also shows that we are not melodramatic."
Although I walked with difficulty, I also laughed, "How can such a funny thing be highbrow?"
When we reached the top of the mountain, it was already evening. However, the ice and snow on the top of the mountain were freezing, but there were still pines and cypresses standing upright. The branches were covered with ice and frost, just like thousands of pear trees in bloom. The snow-pressed green pines were like white jade inlaid with emerald green, which was a spectacular sight.
The cold wind is biting on the top of the mountain, but standing there, you can see the endless desert in the illustrious territory, the yellow sand of the Gobi flying, the solitary smoke of the Red River sunset, the red light splashing all over the sky, winding like the waves of the Yangtze River, turbulent for half a day. And in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the same red sun sets like a star
The soft and sparkling ruby hangs scorchingly above the blue sky. The sky is pure lake blue, followed by an almost pure white color. After the pure white color, there is a brilliant, gorgeous and complex cloud-like light and shadow like Shu brocade. Even the endless green mountains,
It is also dyed with such a gorgeous and drunken color, and it is blurred in all directions. In the middle of the capital, the shops are prosperous and the people are bustling. The bells are ringing, the dining hall is home, and the smoke is scattered in the evening scene in the capital. Looking around, it is mostly the colorful glazed glass of the rich families.
Wall tiles. Those people must be playing silk and bamboo orchestras on the wall, enjoying the wealth and splendor of the world.
The prosperity and splendor of the Southland, the rich life, and the luxury of the world are just like the clouds in the sky, which are intoxicating.
I have no intention of admiring such a beautiful sunset.
Seeing the lonely smoke in the desert, the setting sun on the long river, the intoxicating mountains and rivers, the beauty of the world is all around me, the mountains and rivers in the vast world can almost be held in my hands, I can't help but feel excited, and suddenly I have a feeling of "holding the country in the palm of my hand"
Arrogant and ambitious.
I sighed from the bottom of my heart, "Sure enough, the country is so beautiful that all the heroes in the world would bow down to it. Even though I am a little girl, I am willing to fall in love with it."
Xuanqing hugged my body and asked, "Is it cold?"
My heart was filled with excitement, and my face turned red with excitement. Xuan Qing stroked my cheek and said, "Why are you so happy? You have made all the heroes in the world bow down. You are no less thoughtful than a man."
I smiled brightly and said: "When a gentleman sees this, he will feel the rise and fall of the world. I am a woman, so I feel the same way."
Xuanqing pointed far away in the direction of Hehe and said loudly: "Have you seen it? The yellow sand and red sun there and the solitary smoke in the desert are exactly the place of Hehe. At that time, the illustrious Jig Khan sent his troops to Yanming Pass, intending to take it directly
Go to Beijing and seize the splendid country of our Great Zhou Dynasty. Fortunately, General Qi Buchi led his army to fight in bloody battles for several months, and only then can we regain the peace and harmony of our Great Zhou Dynasty today." He suddenly felt proud, "The so-called man should be like this! If you are born early in the morning and are a hundred years old, you will encounter this.
In war, I must gallop on the battlefield and fight bloody battles, so that my man's life will not be wasted."
How could I not know his ambition? It's a pity... I looked slightly sad. It's a pity that he is the son of Concubine Shu Gui. In this life, he is destined to be restrained by his cynicism.
The coldness of the ice and snow hit my heart every moment, and also spread over his face. He looked at the illustrious rivers and mountains with a sense of injustice, "Now the illustrious Mog Khan is ready to make a move, and his ambition is no less than that of his ancestor Jig."
Khan Hehe and the Great Zhou Dynasty have not had any major battles for a hundred years since the alliance in Hechi. Although small fights occasionally occurred, they were mostly peaceful. It is common sense in the world that if they unite for a long time, they will divide, and if they unite for a long time, they will unite. Mog Khan has been working hard in these years.
, constantly annexing some weak tribes around Hehe to strengthen itself. In the past few years, the emperor's brother had been focusing on the southwest war, trying to regain the territory, and later spent a lot of energy on pacifying the King of Runan, so it was inevitable that he would be accommodating to Hehe.
He has also relaxed a bit. Moge is very ambitious, and I am afraid that within ten years, Hehe and Dazhou will have another tough battle."
I pondered slightly, "The army of the Great Zhou Dynasty is not weak, but no matter how strong the soldiers are, they must be led by generals. So, are there any useful generals in the court now?"
Xuanqing smiled bitterly, but said nothing. I immediately understood that the Great Zhou Dynasty had always attached great importance to governing the country with culture and limiting the military power of generals. This was known only in the Qianyuan Dynasty of Xuanling. King Runan was imprisoned after pacifying the southwest.
After the Zhen family quelled the troubles of King Runan, they were exiled. I would like to ask, who among the people in the country would rather dare to serve on the battlefield? They can only immerse themselves in reading and gain official status through literature.
