The eldest son was adjacent to Tunliu in the north, and then everyone went straight to Xiangyuan and Tongtan. Tongtan, also known as Qin County, was the place where Jin Jinggong, the last king of the Jin Dynasty, was exiled and buried. After the three families were divided into Jin, Jin Jinggong was exiled here.
, and were demoted to commoners, which eliminated the incense of sacrifices in the Jin State. The historical curtain of the Jin State ended on the land of Tongtan. Liu Xin, a famous scholar in the Western Han Dynasty, once lamented: "I pity the empress for his residence, and I express my condolences to Duke Jing."
"Yu Tongtan." Liu Xin lived at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. He ignored the past and hurt the present. Compared with the decline of the Jin Dynasty, he had a premonition that the Western Han Dynasty would follow in the footsteps of the Jin Dynasty.
But today, if we look at the Eastern Han Dynasty, is it not following in the footsteps of the Western Han Dynasty?
Entering Taiyuan, Gai Jun looked back at Shangdang County with many emotions.
Jinyang was the seat of Taiyuan. In the twelfth year of Jin Dinggong (498 BC), out of the need for future political refuge, Zhao Jianzi built Jinyang City with great foresight and became a "safe haven" for the Zhao family. However, Confucius criticized this move a lot.
, written in the "Spring and Autumn Annals": Zhao Jianzi entered Jinyang because he deliberately rebelled against the emperor. There is no crime greater than rebellion. Zhao Jianzi built Jinyang with the intention of rebelling against Jin. The disaster of the last three families' division into Jin actually started here.
.
Jinyang is also the place where Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty hid, because before Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty came to the throne, he served as acting king in Jinyang for seventeen years.
In later generations, a group of people named Li will come out of here and build a huge empire that is no less powerful than the powerful Han Dynasty.
Its name is... Tang!
After Jinyang, the group crossed Gouzhu Mountain and arrived at Yanmen Pass in Yanmen County. When Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, defeated the Xiongnu, he passed Gouzhu and was trapped in Pingcheng. This is the place he is talking about.
Yanmen Pass is close to the dangerous mountains and stands high on Gouzhu Mountain. On the east and west wings, there are undulating mountains. The Great Wall on the ridge is winding, with dense battlements and beacons echoing each other.
"There are nine fortresses in the world, and Yanmen is the leader." It is worthy of its name.
Zhao's general Li Mu was stationed at Yanmen and relied on the danger of passing the city to defeat the Xiongnu with 100,000 troops.
The famous generals of the Western Han Dynasty, Li Guang, Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing, led their troops to fight against the Xiongnu here, and won a great victory, which shocked the outside world.
Go all the way north and approach Yunzhong County.
As they were about to leave Jin, a different feeling arose in everyone's mind. Going forward, there was another kind of civilized way of life, a nomadic civilization that was opposite to the agricultural civilization.
During the Warring States Period, King Wuling of Zhao worked hard to govern, riding and shooting in Hufu. He first built a large city in Hexi, but one of its walls collapsed before it was completed, so it could not be completed, so it was rebuilt in the meander of the Yinshan River. When choosing a site by divination, he saw a group of swans swimming in the clouds during the day.
In the middle, a city was built under it and named "Yunzhong".
It is the most beautiful time of the year in the grassland. Waves are rippling on the endless green land, as if they are spreading from the horizon. On the left hill, there is a group of sheep grazing with their heads lowered, and the shepherd is leaning on the grass.
Basking in the sun, I hummed a tune that seemed to have existed on the grassland since ancient times.
In the afternoon, the red sun hangs high in the sky, but a few drops of light rain fall on the grassland. Lightning strikes the earth like an aurora and then withdraws quickly. Travelers from the Central Plains have never seen such a scene before, and they are filled with awe.
.
At dusk, the rain subsided, and everyone arrived at the county seat for the night. They continued their journey the next day, crossing the clouds and reaching Wuyuan County.
Gai Jun was in a quiet and peaceful grassland, trusting the horse and letting his thoughts fly.
"Wuyuan..."
"The hometown of Lu Bu, the God of War!"
Thinking of this, he turned around and looked at Gai Yin, who was guarding Cai Yong. Over the past year, Gai Yin had deliberately grown a beard, adding a touch of maturity to his somewhat honest and ordinary face. His eight-foot figure was extremely majestic, giving people endless charm.
For his oppressive power, Cai Yong praised him for being as brave as Fan Kuai. This was not the first time he heard such a comment, Yuan Shao also said it, although his words were mostly compliments.
"When two people collide, who will win?"
Gai Jun shook his head to dispel such absurd thoughts.
Shuofang is located on the left side of Wuyuan. They passed through Shangdang, Taiyuan, Yanmen, Yunzhong, Wuyuan and other counties, and went around Bingzhou for more than half a circle before reaching their destination. In fact, it is obviously more convenient to go directly from Shangdang or Hedong through Xihe County.
However, Hexi is where the royal court of the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu is located. There are many Hu people in the county, so accidents are very easy to happen. The road they chose is longer but safer.
Shuofang County has a vast land and a sparse population, with only 2,000 households and less than 8,000 people. It is divided into six cities. Of course, this is the registered population, and criminals and soldiers stationed in the army are not included.
Criminals not only shoulder a lot of chores, but also need to guard the beacons and defend against barbarians. The Cai family servants can do the chores for them, but they cannot escape the fate of serving as border guards.
Cai Yong's thought has a typical Confucian style, emphasizing Huayi, and believes that if the Central Plains is stable, the four borders will be safe. Now he has become a border soldier, which can be said to be a twist of fate.
Gai Jun was about to return immediately, but learned from the governor of Shuofang that Yang Qiu bribed him with money to poison Cai Yong. Gai Jun was furious after hearing this. He killed the two groups of assassins and was not disturbed on the road again, thinking that Yang Qiu was planning
I was so poor that I never thought that the other party would try another plan after it failed. Thanks to the uprightness of Shuofang Prefect, he was unmoved and told the truth truthfully, otherwise Cai Yong would have been in danger.
Gai Jun stayed for another three days, but saw little movement. In addition, the prefect of Shuofang paid great attention to Cai Yong and protected him properly, so he decided to return.
Standing in a quiet and peaceful natural painting, with the vast ancient city on his back, Gai Jun took Cai Yong's harp and played it with his ten fingers. The light, profound and long meaning of the music flowed out from his fingertips, and the three strings of the piano were played one by one.
Stacked up, the listeners all feel a sense of desolation in their hearts.
There is no other piece of music more suitable for this moment than "Yangguan Sandie".
Cai Yong burst into tears and looked towards the south. After a while, he looked back and asked, "What's the name of this song?"
"Let's call it "Shuo Fang Qu"." Gai Jun shook his head and said. The original name "Yangguan Sandie" did not fit the place, so he had to abandon it.
"Is this song composed by Ziying?" Cai Yong sighed with emotion. He is a handsome young man with extraordinary talents in literature and martial arts. Although he has not studied Confucian classics very much, the world has turned around, chaos has gradually arisen, and a doctorate is useless. He will have great achievements in the future.
There is no doubt that it must be this kind of person.
"Ziying, I know that you and Wan'er are in love with each other, and I have long regarded you as my son-in-law. Now I am here to guard the beacon and atone for my sins. Only my family can't worry about it. They... I entrusted it to you."
Gai Jun had a solemn look on his face. He didn't say a thousand words, but just said the word "promise" repeatedly.
"This is my home letter to my wife and daughter..." Cai Yong handed the silk book in his hand to Gai Jun, waved his hand and said: "Let's go, let's go..."
"Yilang will surrender here for the time being. In less than three years, Yilang will have to return." Gai Jun said loudly. He was determined to find a way to clear Cai Yong's charges after returning to Beijing no matter what.
"Go, go..."
Gai Jun gritted his teeth, turned over his saddle, and rode his horse eastward. Gai Yin cupped his fists in farewell to Cai Yong and followed him.
Cai Yong watched the two of them go away, and then he sighed and returned to the city with his piano in his arms.);.
