The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 39
This article written by Wang Quan is to praise the emperor after catching the white pheasant, thinking it is auspicious.

The saint refers to the emperor.

"Yi Shuo Gua" said: "The sage listens to the world from the south, and governs from the Ming."

In the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, was called the saint Khan by the ethnic minorities. The saint here refers to the emperor.

What does King Quan say in this article, it is precisely because of my thrifty emperors of the Qing Dynasty that these auspicious vegetation and animals are stuffed in the mountains, rivers and lakes, but these fools and fools cannot see them, Now this white pheasant happened to be caught by Luo in Wuwei Mountain.What does this mean? It means that you are the sage!

Moreover, the white pheasant was also a tribute of the four guests who surrendered to the Zhou Dynasty in ancient times!
"Shangshu Dazhuan" records: "At the time of King Zhou Cheng, there were seedlings that grew from different stems, and they were the same ear. The big surplus car was superior to others. The king called the Duke of Zhou and asked him, and he said: 'Three seedlings For one ear, the harmony of the world is almost one?' As a result, it was retranslated by Yueshang. To the south of Jiaozhi, there is Yueshang Kingdom. , and offer white pheasants."

In Ban Gu's Dongdu Fu, there is also "White Pheasant Poem"!
There is also Bai Juyi's poem: "Duke Zhou is afraid of the day of rumors, but Wang Mang is humble and has not usurped the time." It is because when Wang Mang was the chief Sima, Yueshang Kingdom enshrined a white pheasant and three black pheasants, so Bai Juyi compared Zhou Gong and Wang Mang compared them together, saying that the two did the same when Wang Mang had not usurped the throne.

……

With this auspicious white pheasant, Bai Gui has courage in his heart.

Added a bit of confidence to the imperial examination.

Once the ancient county magistrate knew about this matter, he would not be dismissed if he was dismissed... Once dismissed, it would mean violating the theory of prophecy!

Auspiciousness can't protect one person, so how can it protect the Qing Dynasty?
For the sake of his official status, as long as his examination papers are not really unbearable to look at, he will basically let him pass.

"Reading is wise..."

Bai Gui sighed lightly.

When he was in Bailu Village, although he knew that the legendary white pheasant might be auspicious in ancient times, he didn't know why, he only knew that it might be auspicious.But it wasn't until after reading the Five Classics that I realized it.

"Brother Bai, you are right. I have studied hard for so many years, and I can't give up easily because of this. At worst... at worst, go to the south!"

Zhou Yuan was shaken.

Although the current Qing court rules and suppresses the mainland, it is somewhat different from before the two crows.At that time, searched mountains and seas to arrest fugitives.Now there are foreigners' concessions in the south, you only need to hide in them, and the Qing court's pursuers would not dare to go in.

He had long envied the freedom of the south, but he couldn't bear it.

"According to the amount, this ancient county magistrate and Mr. still have friendship. He is a good person in his bones. A few days ago, he asked the big family to donate food and grain. Don’t dare to suppress them without authorization, as long as the article is not wrong, he can’t find any faults, and it’s fine..."

Lu Zhaopeng hesitated for a while, but chose to take the exam.

"It's the same..."

When Bai Xiaowen saw that his classmates decided to take the exam, he also made up his mind to go together.

Although they are not sure about the county examination now, the scriptures are not yet mature.But in the county trial, maybe a blind cat meets a dead mouse, and it just so happens that I will meet it by chance.

No one will pass up this opportunity.

If there is real danger, there is no need for them to worry unnecessarily. Mr. Zhu will also warn them and let them choose to give up the exam. Now that Mr. Zhu has not spoken, why should they worry about themselves.

Fortunately, there was still time. After several people agreed to take the exam, they went to the county government office to submit their names.

There are still three days until the exam starts.

Slightly damp with rain and dew in the morning.

It rained heavily last night.

A group of people came out from the Mingfeng Gate of the east gate, waded through the winding Zishui, and after being ferried by an old man wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat, they came to the other side of the Zishui, and walked another five or six miles on the mountain road. , I saw the towering hills.

This is Fenghuangzui, the place name, and the nearby village is called Jiangcun.

"Baling is built on the mountain. Because it is close to the Zi (Ba) River, it is called Baling. It can also be written as Baling. It is the mausoleum of Emperor Xiaowen of the Western Han Dynasty. I heard from Brother Wang and the others that they worship Baling before the exam. Mausoleum is very useful..."

Zhou Yuan closed the oil-paper umbrella, and when he was halfway there, it began to rain again. It lasted for about half an hour, and when he got closer to Ba Ling for a mile or two, it stopped.

"Guanzhong has been an imperial state since ancient times, and 72 emperors were buried here..."

Several people casually talked about the emperor's mausoleum elsewhere.

For example, Duling, which is not far from Baling, is located in the southeast of the ruins of Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City of Han Dynasty.When going from Zishui County to Chang'an City, you can pass by Duling.

Not long after, I arrived at the southwest of Baling, which was the southern tomb of Empress Dowager Bo, the mother of Emperor Wen. A monument was also erected, which read "Empress Dowager Bo of Han Dynasty".

"The Nanling looks across the Wei River to the west of the Changling of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, so there is a saying in the history books: 'Look at my son in the east, and look at my husband in the west.'"

Bai Gui smiled slightly and told the allusion.

He governed the Spring and Autumn Period, not only by looking at the Spring and Autumn Period, but also by learning about other historical annals.

The mausoleum system in the Western Han Dynasty was that the emperor and the empress were buried together but not in the mausoleum, that is, the empress and the emperor were buried together.When Empress Dowager Bo was in Liu Bang, she was only Bo Ji and was not eligible to be buried with Liu Bang, so a separate Nanling was erected next to the tomb of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty Liu Heng.

From time to time, he passed through the Mausoleum of Empress Dou in the tomb of Emperor Wen and came to the front of Ba Mausoleum.

"Emperor Wen, Emperor Wen, Wen Neng Jidi!"

"Although I don't know how this sentence came about, it's good to come here to take a look at the beautiful scenery and pay respects."

Several people chanted this sentence.

This sentence has been spread for some reason, it is a homophonic stalk, but when the local Confucian scholars are conducting the imperial examination, they often come to the tomb of Hanwen Emperor Liu Heng to pay homage.

Jingtianweidi said Wen!

Emperor Wen is almost the highest posthumous title. Tang Taizong Li Shimin admired Han Xiaowen Emperor Liu Heng all his life, and hinted many times during his lifetime that the ministers gave him the posthumous title of Tang Wendi after his death, and his wish was fulfilled.

"Wen Shu is not afraid of this short period of time, anyway, it won't take much effort, and Baling is only an hour away from the county seat."

"Plus walking is also good for your physical and mental health."

Bai Gui said very understandingly.

This kind of thing, no matter in the past life or the future life, is not uncommon.When he took the exam, he would silently recite the blessings of his ancestors when he encountered multiple-choice questions that he didn't know.

Seek peace of mind.

There are some sacrifices in hand, very simple sacrifices, a plate of Fuping persimmons, which represents everything (persimmons) as you wish, and four large pomegranates, which means "Dured Shi Dengke".In February, the pomegranates have not bloomed yet, and they were placed on the tribute table last year.

There are not only many willows in Guanzhong, but also many pomegranate trees.The city flower of Chang'an in later generations is the pomegranate flower.

And the wild flowers picked along the way are gathered in bunches and placed in front of the monument.

　I'll go, the recommendation votes are getting lower and lower...
