As soon as you enter Guanzhou City, you will see a huge stone tablet with some words on it.
Pang Shiwu looked intently and saw that what was written on it was the development history of Guanzhou. He didn't know which official in charge built such a "monument".
Feng Jiuxiao said: "This stone monument is very meaningful. It clearly explains the history of Guanzhou City. It seems that the chief official here has a lot of ideas."
Liu Miezhou said: "It seems that he also wants to imitate Wang Lun and trick more talented people into visiting here. This will not only enhance the local reputation, but also stimulate local popularity!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "The court should reuse such officials."
Liu Mizhou shook his head and said: "It's a pity that many dynasties now do not reuse capable officials, but only skillful officials!"
Pang Shiwu said: "To put it bluntly, those who are capable cannot be reused, while those who are incompetent but have the background are reused instead."
Liu Miezhou said: "You can teach children!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "We can't generalize! Now the Zhao and Song Dynasties are rising. If we can't reward them with merit and punish them with mercy, it will be difficult to stabilize the foundation and the people's support!"
Liu Miezhou said: "Do you think Zhao Song is different?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Not bad!"
Liu Mizhou no longer dwelled on this topic, but turned to look at the stone tablet and said calmly: "I didn't expect that the history of Guanzhou can be traced back to the Warring States Period!"
According to the inscription, this place returned to Shu County after King Qin Huiwen destroyed Shu.
Since the Qin Dynasty, yamen were set up, called Jian Di Dao, and were promoted to counties in the Han Dynasty.
During the Shu Han Dynasty, it was renamed Jian County, and soon after it was renamed Du'an County, which belonged to Wenshan County.
In the Western Jin Dynasty, Yanguan County was established. In the late Western Jin Dynasty, wars were frequent and the administrative district structure changed greatly. During the Liu and Song Dynasties, Wenshan County was moved to Guankou and administered Du'an and Yanguan counties. In the first year of Yongming, Emperor Wu of the Southern Qi Dynasty, Qiji County and the capital were established.
An and Yanguan were both under the jurisdiction of Wenshan County. When they arrived in Nanliang, Qiji County was established in Qiji County, and the counties and counties were governed together. In the third year of Tianhe in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Wenshan County was returned to Wenshan County and Yanguan County was renamed Wenshan County. It still belonged to Wenshan County. In the fourth year of Tianhe County,
Qiji County was abolished in 2011 and Qiji County was changed to Qingcheng County and belonged to Qianwei County. Wenshan County was abolished in the third year of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and its land was merged into Pixian County. In the first year of Wude, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, a calm army was set up at the old site of Wenshan County.
Panlong County was established at the old site of Du'an. In the sixth year of the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, Panlong County was renamed Daojiang County, which belonged to Mengzhou, and Qingcheng County belonged to Shuzhou. In the twelfth year of Emperor Xuanzong's reign, Qingcheng County was renamed Qingcheng County. In the first year of Wucheng's reign in the former Shu, it was renamed Zhenjun County.
Guanzhou governs Qingcheng and Daojiang counties.
Although Pang Shiwu didn't recognize some words, he could understand them generally. He looked at Feng Jiuxiao, "The same place has changed so many names. Are you not afraid of trouble?"
Zeng Yong stopped taking the car and said with a sneer: "As the saying goes, once the emperor and his courtiers, even the people have to be changed. Isn't it normal to change the name of a place?"
Pang Shiwu chuckled. Suddenly he remembered something and asked Zeng Yong immediately: "Brother Zeng, do you think there is a place whose name has never changed even though it has changed dynasties many times?"
Zeng Yong was stunned for a moment!
"Hey! You've stumped me! I can't think of any place that hasn't changed its name!"
Pang Shishi looked at Feng Jiuxiao, "Brother, what do you think?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "There are indeed many cities and counties that have not changed their names for thousands of years. For example, you can take the Chengdu we just left. The King of Zhou moved to Qi in one year and settled in Ju, in two years it became a city, and in three years Chengdu got its name.
Chengdu. The pronunciation of the word "Chengdu" in Shu language is Shudu. "成" is "biye" and "end". The meaning of Chengdu is the ultimate capital of Shu."
Pang Shiwu suddenly said proudly: "The eldest brother is the eldest brother. I can never ask questions! Who else can I ask besides Chengdu?"
Pang Shishi's eyes widened, "Are these the same names?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Of course! Handan, for example, was the capital of Zhao State during the Warring States Period! The name 'Handan' first appeared in the ancient book "Bamboo Book Annals". The origin of the place name Handan is recorded in "Hanshu Geography"
, annotation by Zhang Yan, a native of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period: "Handan Mountain is under the East City. It is single and complete. The city outline follows the city, so it is added to the city." This means that the place name of Handan comes from Handan Mountain, which is under the East City of Handan.
, there is a mountain named Handan. Dan is the end of the mountain range. Handan Mountain ends here, so it is named Handan. Because the city outline starts from the city, so the city is added to the side of the city to become Handan."
Pang Shishi said: "I have heard several idioms related to Handan, such as learning to walk in Handan, riding and shooting in Hufu, and returning to Zhao with a perfect jade. It seems that there are the most idioms related to Handan!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "There are indeed many idioms and allusions about Handan! Do you know the story of He Bo's marriage?"
Pang Shishi shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Then let me tell you something?"
Pang Shishi smiled and said: "Okay, okay!"
It’s a long road, so how can I relieve my worries? Only my brother’s stories can relieve my boredom!
Liu Mizhou said incredulously: "Have you never heard of it?"
Pang Shishi's eyes widened, "Are you deliberately making fun of me?"
Liu Mizhou laughed and said: "How could it be? I thought you knew such a classic story!"
Pang Shiwu said: "Why don't you tell me."
Liu Mizhou smiled and said, "It's not good."
"What's wrong? Can you tell a story in two different ways?"
"That's not true. A story is like calligraphy. No matter how it is changed, whether it is official script, running script, or cursive script, one is one, and two is two. One cannot be written as two, and two cannot be written as one.
There is no way I can tell this story about He Bo marrying his daughter!"
Pang Shishi smiled and said: "I would like to hear the story of He Bo's marriage to his daughter! I guess none of you here have heard of it? Brother Zeng, have you heard of it?"
Zeng Yong remained calm, "I've never heard of it!"
Pang Shishi asked Feng Jiuxiao, "Brother, have you heard of it?"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Pang Shishi was startled, "Huh? Is there really a story about He Bo marrying a girl?"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders."
Liu Mizhou also looked puzzled, "Is there really such an allusion?"
He boasted that he was rich in knowledge and well-read, but he could not recall any classics containing such a legend!
Suddenly I heard Yuan Zishan say in the car: "Don't listen to his nonsense. If you really ask him for advice, he will have to make up a story for you even if he is making it up!"
Liu Miezhou chuckled, "No way?"
Pang Shishi also scratched his head, "Brother, you're not really making this up, are you?"
Feng Jiuxiao coughed dryly, "Am I that kind of person?"
Yuan Zishan said: "Why, did I say something wrong?"
Feng Jiuxiao immediately looked solemn, "How is that possible? You are right!"
Everyone was walking forward leisurely, and suddenly they saw people around them running forward quickly, and someone shouted: "Hurry up, you won't be able to see it in a while!"
Everyone saw that the people around them all started to move. Those setting up stalls stopped looking at the stalls, and those wandering around stopped wandering around. They all rushed forward.
At this time, a middle-aged man with weak legs happened to pass by them. Feng Jiuxiao quickly asked: "Brother, what are you doing?"
The lame man said impatiently: "Oh, don't waste my time to watch the excitement. If you want to see it, go quickly!" He glared at Feng Jiuxiao angrily, and then limped forward quickly!
Feng Jiuxiao said: "What's going on? Go and have a look?"
Pang Shiwu immediately said: "We are here, how can we miss it?"
Feng Jiuxiao glanced at Yuan Zishan's carriage and said to the driver: "Let's go!"
The coachman did not move, but smiled strangely.
Feng Jiuxiao laughed and scolded: "Oh, just leave! Do you think she doesn't agree?"
The driver smiled and said nothing.
Yuan Zishan in the car said: "Let's go."
The coachman smiled strangely at Feng Jiuxiao again, his eyes seemed to be full of sympathy, then he raised his whip and shouted: "Drive!" The carriage started! The other carriages followed at the same time!
Big Wolf said: "I won't take the car anymore." As he said that, he strode forward quickly!
Zeng Yong said: "I won't sit down either."
Liu Miezhou said: "If you don't even sit down, I won't sit down either."
They both looked at Feng Jiuxiao.
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Let's go!"
Pang Shiwu, Liu Miezhou, and Zeng Yong followed behind.
Following the flow of people, I walked forward, took a few turns, and went further and further off the road, until I arrived at a vast lake.
By this time, the lakeside was already crowded with people.
At the place closest to the lake, flags were fluttering and gongs and drums were roaring. It looked like a grand party was being held, and everyone's faces were full of excitement!
Liu Miezhou couldn't help but frown. He looked at Feng Jiuxiao. At this time, Feng Jiuxiao also looked at Liu Miezhou. The two looked at each other with an unknown premonition in their hearts.
I saw an official by the lake reading out a sacrificial text, to the effect that he wanted to offer sacrifices to the lake god!
Kneeling next to him were two young children!
His eyes were full of fear of the unknown, and he kept looking at the two couples in the crowd who were crying heartbrokenly!
Two women, in particular, were blocked by the government officials and tried desperately to rush to the children's side!
Zeng Yong frowned and said, "Are you going to make human sacrifices?"
Pang Shiwu’s hand was already on the hilt of the sword!
The official finished reading the memorial text and said to everyone: "Get ready to start."
After a few words with a Taoist priest, a few elderly men who seemed to be highly respected, nodded to the official and said it was OK!
The official raised his hand and said, "Start!"
Several government officials quickly picked up the child, placed him in a large wooden basin, and then prepared to push the wooden basin into the lake.
