"The Book of Songs" said: The capital of a big country is really worth watching, eight rivers flow around the four mountains. How many emperors have been here? Since ancient times, the world has been talking about Chang 'an.
This list shows that Chang 'an City, a big country in Shaanxi Province, is the capital of emperors of past dynasties. Since the Zhou, Qin and Han Dynasties, the flowers of the three states have been like brocade, and the eight rivers flow around the city. There were thirty-six Hualiu Lanes and seventy-two orchestral buildings. From the Hua Yi map, it was the best in the world. It was really a strange way to win. Today, Emperor Taizong Wen of the Great Tang ascended the throne and changed the year title to Longji Zhenguan. It had been thirteen years since he had ascended the throne, and the year was already in his hands. Not to mention the heroes who had stabilized the country and the outstanding people who had started their own businesses.
On the bank of the Jing River outside Chang 'an City, there were two wise men: One was a fisherman named Zhang Shao, and the other was a woodcutter named Li Ding. The two of them were scholars who did not pass the examination and could read.
One day, in Chang 'an, they sold firewood on their shoulders and bought carps in a basket. They went to a tavern together and ate half drunk. They each carried a bottle and walked slowly back along the bank of the Jing River. "Brother Li," said Zhang Shao,"I think those who fight for fame lose their bodies because of fame. Those who seize benefits will die for them; Those who accept titles will sleep with tigers in their arms. Thank you for your kindness and leave with a snake in your sleeve. In fact, it's not as good as our Shui Xiu Shan Qing, who is free and unfettered, willing to let fate take its course.”"Brother Zhang is right." However, your water is not as beautiful as my mountain.”Zhang Shao said: Your mountains are not as beautiful as my water. There is a "Butterfly Love Flower" Ci as evidence, Ci said:
Smoke waves thousands of miles small boat, quietly rely on the lonely canopy, Xi Shi voice around. I wash my mind, I wash my heart, I have little fame and fortune. I climb the thorns and reeds at leisure.
Counting the sand gulls can be happy, Liu shore reed bay, wife and children laugh together. Sleep peacefully, no glory, no shame, no worries.”
Li Ding said: Your water beauty is not as good as my mountain green. There was also a poem in the poem "Butterfly Loves Flowers" as evidence.
A section of Yunlin is full of pine trees. I listen to the singing of orioles silently. My tongue is as smooth as a pipe. Red thin green manure spring is warm, suddenly summer solstice time to turn. It is also easy to change in autumn, and the fragrance of yellow flowers is worth playing with. Fast winter, like fingers, free and unfettered in all seasons.
The fisherman said,"Your mountains are not as green as my water. You can enjoy some good things. There is a" Partridges Sky "as proof."
Fairy land cloud water enough life, row boat is home. Cut open the fresh scales and cook the green turtle alive, steam the purple crab and cook the red shrimp. Green Asparagus, Water Nymphoides, Water Caltrop Chicken Head are even more worthy of praise. Delicate lotus root, old lotus leaf, tender leaves, arrowhead, wild rice stem, white bird flower.
The woodcutter said,"Your water is not as beautiful as my mountain green. You can enjoy some good things. There is also a" Partridges Sky "as proof."
The lofty mountains are connected to the horizon, and the thatched hut is my home. Salted chicken and goose are stronger than crabs and turtles, and deer and rabbits are better than fish and shrimp. Toona leaves, yellow neem buds, bamboo shoots and camelia are even more worthy of praise. Purple plum, red peach, plum and apricot are ripe, sweet pear, wild jujube and sweet osmanthus flowers.
The fisherman said,"Your mountain green is really not as beautiful as my water."
A small boat with a leaf to live in, ten thousand layers of smoke waves without fear. Hanging hook cast net catch fresh scales, no sauce greasy, partial taste, old wife and children reunion. There are many fish and goods in Chang 'an City, in exchange for fragrant wine to eat drunk. Coir raincoat should be lying in the autumn river, snoring sleep, do not worry, do not love the glory and noble.
The woodcutter said,"Your beautiful water is not as good as my mountain green. You also have a song called" Heavenly Fairy."
There are a few rafters under the mountain, pine, bamboo, plum and orchid are really lovely. Through the woods and mountains to find dry wood, no one is strange, sell from me, some less, some more rely on the world. The money to buy wine at will, tile bowl magnetic Ou very comfortable. Qiao Song drunk lying in the shade of pine trees, no worries, no interests, regardless of the rise and fall of the world.
The fisherman said,"Brother Li, your business in the mountains is not as happy as mine on the water. There is a" Moon on the West River "as proof."
The red knotweed flowers reflected the moon, and the yellow reed leaves swayed in the wind. Green sky, clear water, Chu River empty, stirring a pool of stars. The big fish in the net formed a team, and the small mandarin fish that swallowed the hook formed a cluster. The taste of cooking is strong, laughing proudly in the Jianghu.
The woodcutter said,"Brother Zhang, your business on the water is not as good as my business in the mountains. There is also" Moon on the West River "as proof."
The road is full of withered leaves and vines, and the old bamboo with broken branches is full of mountains. The woman's turnip is dry and the vine is messy. She breaks the rope and kills the load. Worms eat the hollow elm willow, the wind blows the broken pine Nan. Pick them and pile them up for winter, exchange them for wine and money, and follow me.
The fisherman said,"Although you can compare with me in the mountains, you can't compare with the elegance of my beautiful water. There is a" Linjiang Immortal "as evidence."
When the tide falls, the lonely boat will move away. In the middle of the night, the boat will stop and sing. The waning moon in the coir raincoat is very quiet, the night gulls are frightened and can't get up, and the colorful clouds in the sky open. Sleepy in Luzhou, nothing to do, three poles in the sun also suffer. Do your best to arrange your own affairs, courtiers cold waiting for leakage, competing with me to be lenient?
The woodcutter said,"Your water is beautiful and elegant, but it's not as elegant as my mountain green. There's also the" Linjiang Immortal "to prove it."
The grey path is high in autumn, and the axe is pulled away. In the evening cool, the load is carried back. Wild flowers inserted in the temple more strange ah, dial clouds to find the way out, waiting for the moon to call the door open. My son and his wife smiled and received him, and he slept on a straw bed and a wooden pillow. Steamed pears, cooked millet, arranged in a circle, jug of freshly brewed wine, really magnificent quiet mind!”
The fisherman said,"These are all my two businesses. They support my body. You don't have the benefits of my leisure time. There is a poem to prove it."
I watch the white crane fly in the sky, and stop the boat by the stream to close the green door. Leaning on the awning, he taught his son to rub the fishing line, and stopped rowing with his wife to dry the net.
Nature is really calm, know the waves are quiet, the body is stable, from then on feel the wind is weak. The green straw hat is worn at any time, better than the purple ribbon clothes in the court.
The woodcutter said," Your leisure time is not as good as mine. There is also a poem to prove it.
He sat alone in a thatched hut with his bamboo door closed. When I have nothing to do, I teach my son to open the book to read, and sometimes play chess with the guests.
Happy to ride a stick to sing fragrant path, Xing to carry the piano to the green Wei. Grass shoes, hemp sash, coarse cloth quilt, broad-minded, better than wearing silk clothes.
"Li Ding," said Zhang Shao,"the two of us are really close to each other with a little singing. We don't need a sandalwood plate and a golden cup. However, it is not rare to see the words of the scattered Taoist priests. Let's combine a few sentences and see how our fishermen and woodsmen talk.”Li Ding said: Brother Zhang's words are the best. Please recite them first.
The boat stopped in the green water and smoke, and the family lived in the mountains and wilderness. I like the bridge of the stream, the spring water rises, the most pity is the mountain peak in the morning clouds.
Longmen fresh carp cooked at any time, moth-eaten dry wood every day to dry. There are many kinds of fishing nets that can support old age, and two things like carrying ropes can be used to support old age.
The boat lies on its back to watch the flying geese, and the grass path is inclined to hear the cry of the Hong. There is no such thing as me in the field of tongue and tongue, which is not the lack of my trace in the sea.
The silk hanging by the stream is like brocade, and the axe on the stone is like a sharp blade. The autumn moon shines brightly, and I often fish alone. The spring mountain is silent and no one meets it.
Fish often change wine to drink with his wife, firewood leftover to sell pot to share the son Cong. Self-singing, self-pouring, with debauchery, long song, long sigh, let the wind shake.
Call brother call brother invite boat partner, take friend take friend gather wild old man. The order to play rock-paper-scissors frequently handed over the cup, and the words of the Taoist priest were scattered and passed to the bell.
Cooking prawns and crabs is fun every day, fried duck and chicken are abundant every day. Foolish woman fried tea feeling scattered wild, mountain wife cooked rice meaning calm.
In the morning, he lifted his cane to wash the light waves, and at sunrise, he carried firewood to rush through the big rush. After the rain, he put on coir raincoat to catch live carp, and in front of the wind, he cut dead pine trees with an axe.
He hid from the world, dressed up as a fool, concealed his name and became mute and deaf.
Zhang slightly said: brother Li, I just arrogated to the first sentence, now to my brother, also first to write a couplet, I should also continue.
The wind and moon pretend to be wild and wild, and the Jianghu is proud of the old Yu Ding. When you are free, you can follow the natural and unrestrained, and your mouth will not be happy and peaceful.
On a moonlit night, I sleep in a thatched cottage. At dusk, my body is covered with a light coir. Wang Qing befriended the friends of Songmei and was happy to befriend the Gull Egret Alliance.
There is no calculation in the heart of fame and fortune, and there is no sound in the ear of war. Drink fragrant wine at any time, eat three meals of wild vegetable soup.
Two bundles of firewood for work, a fishing line for business. In leisure I call my children to sharpen their steel axes, and in silence I call my silly children to mend the old silk.
When spring comes, I like to see the willows green, and when I melt, I like to see the reeds green. In summer, he built new bamboo trees in the summer, and in June, he took advantage of the cool to pick tender water caltrops.
When the frost falls, the fat chicken is often slaughtered every day, and the crab is cooked in time on the Double Ninth Festival. Winter comes, the sun is still asleep, several days high naturally does not evaporate.
Eight sections in the mountains with the release of nature, four seasons in the lake with Tao Qing. Picking firewood has its own immortal prosperity, fishing has no secular form.
The wild flowers outside the door were fragrant, and the green waves on the bow were flat. His body is stable and does not like the position of three public officials, but his character is determined to be as strong as a ten-mile city.
Ten miles to build a high defense city, the three public positions are obvious to listen to the announcement. It's really rare to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Thank the gods.
The two of them had their own poems and verses, and when they went to their respective paths, they bowed to bid farewell. "Brother Li, take care on the way!" said Zhang Shao. Go up the mountain and look at the tiger carefully. If there was some danger, it would be the missing old friends on the streets tomorrow!”"You're so lazy!" Li Ding said angrily. Even a good friend can die for you, how can you curse me? If I encounter a tiger and suffer, you will definitely encounter waves and overturn the river!”"I'll never cross the river," said Zhang Shao.”"The weather is unpredictable," Li Ding said."People have temporary blessings and misfortunes. How can you be safe?" "Brother Li, although you say so, you still haven't figured it out." If my business was unpredictable, I wouldn't have encountered such a thing.”"Your business on the surface of the water is extremely dangerous and dark. What can you do about it?"”"You don't know," said Zhang Shao. There was a fortune-teller on Ximen Street in Chang 'an. I gave him a golden carp every day, and he taught me a lesson from his sleeve. Today, I went to buy divination again. He taught me to cast a net on the east side of Jinghe Bay and cast it on the west bank. I was sure to catch a full load of fish and prawns and return. The next day I came to the city, sold money and wine, and talked to you again.”From then on, the two parted ways.
This was exactly what it meant to talk on the road, there was someone in the grass. It turned out that there was a yaksha patrolling the Jing River Water Mansion. When he heard the words, he hurried to the Crystal Palace and reported to the Dragon King in a hurry,"It's a disaster, it's a disaster!" "What's the trouble?" the Dragon King asked. "When I went to the river," said the Yaksha,"I heard two fishermen and woodcutter clamoring. When they parted, the words were very sharp. The fisherman said,"There's a fortune-teller on Ximen Street in Chang 'an City. He's the most accurate." Every day, he would give him a carp tail, and he would teach him a lesson and teach him a hundred tricks. If he was so accurate, why didn't he beat up the Water Race? How can you make the underwater mansion look magnificent? How can you leap over the waves to help the king's power?”The Dragon King was furious. He raised his sword and was about to go to Chang 'an to kill this fortune-teller. Beside him flashed the Dragon Son, Dragon Sun, Shrimp Minister, Crab Warrior, Military Advisor Yi, Mandarin Fish Shaoqing, and Carp Taizai. They reported together,""Your Majesty, please calm down. As the saying goes, words that go beyond the ear cannot be believed. Your Majesty, if you leave this time, there will be clouds to follow you, and there will be rain to help you. I'm afraid you'll frighten the people of Chang 'an and be punished by heaven. Your Majesty is unpredictable and unpredictable. He can only change into a scholar and visit Chang 'an City. If there are such people, it is not too late to kill them. If there were no such people, wouldn't they be harming others?”
The Dragon King obeyed and abandoned his sword. He didn't make any noise and went ashore. He turned into a white-robed scholar.
He is handsome and heroic, and his eyes are high and his eyes are high. His steps were dignified and orderly. The language follows Confucius and Mencius, and the etiquette is Zhou Wen. He was wearing a jade-colored bat robe and a carefree headscarf.
On the road, he pulled the clouds away and went straight to the West Gate Street of Chang 'an City. He saw a group of people crowded together, making a lot of noise. Some of them were talking loudly,"The dragon's life, the tiger's clash. Yin Chen Si Hai, although said to be in line with the situation, but I am afraid it is the day to offend the monarch.”Hearing this, the Dragon King knew that it was the place where the divination was sold. He stepped forward, separated the crowd, and looked inside.
The four walls were decorated with pearls and pearls, and the hall was full of brocade. The fragrance of the precious duck never stops, and the water in the magnetic bottle is very clear. Wang Wei's paintings were arranged on both sides, and the shape of Ghost Valley hung high above the seat. Duan Xi inkstone, gold smoke ink, contrast with the frost brush; Fire Pearl Forest, Guo Pu's number, I would like to correct the new classics of Taiwan politics. He was familiar with the Six Trigrams and proficient in the Eight Trigrams. Can understand the truth of heaven and earth, good at understanding the expression of ghosts and gods. Noon on the neck
The arrangement is settled, and the stars are arranged clearly. It is true that the future and the past are like a mirror. The rise of a few families, the fall of a few families, as if they were gods. Know the bad luck, determine the good luck, judge the dead and say the living. Open talk about wind and rain, write down ghosts and gods surprised. On the signboard was the name of the book, Mr. Yuan Shoucheng.
Who was this person? It turned out that he was the uncle of the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor, Yuan Tiangang, and Yuan Shoucheng. That gentleman was indeed strange and beautiful. His name was famous in the country and his skills were the best in Chang 'an. The Dragon King entered the door and met the gentleman. When the ceremony was over, the dragon was invited to sit on the throne, and the boy offered tea. "What is it that you have come to ask?" asked the master.”"Please tell me what will happen in the sky," said the Dragon King.”The teacher immediately passed on a lesson from his sleeve and said,"The clouds cloud the top of the mountain, and the mist shrouds the forest. If you want to occupy the rain, you must be in the morning." "When will it rain tomorrow?" asked the Dragon King. How size is the rain?" The teacher said,"Tomorrow morning, clouds will be set up, thunder will occur at Si, rain will fall at noon, and it will not rain enough. The total amount of water obtained will be three feet, three inches, and forty-eight points." "You can't be joking," said the Dragon King with a smile. If it rains tomorrow, I will give you fifty taels of gold as thanks according to the number of hours you have determined. If it doesn't rain, or if it doesn't count according to the time, I'll tell you the truth. I'll break your shop front, tear your signboard, and drive you out of Chang 'an immediately. You're not allowed to confuse the public here!”The teacher replied happily,"This is up to you." Please, please, meet me tomorrow after the rain.”
The Dragon King said goodbye, left Chang 'an, and returned to the Water Mansion. The big and small water gods took it and asked,"Your Majesty, what do you think of the fortune-teller?"”"Yes, yes, yes!" the Dragon King said. However, he was a gentleman who was asking for love. When I asked him when it would rain, he said it would rain. When I asked him what time it was and what the rain was, he said that it was cloudy at Chen, thunder at Si, it rained at noon, and it rained enough at noon. The water was three feet three inches and forty-eight points. I made a bet with him. If it was as he said, he would give him fifty taels of gold as a reward. If he was slightly worse, he would break his facade and chase him away. He was not allowed to confuse the public in Chang 'an.”"Your Majesty is the chief steward of the Eight Rivers, the Great Dragon God of Rain. Only Your Majesty knows whether there is rain or not. How dare he speak such nonsense? That diviner must have lost, definitely lost!”
At this moment, the dragon children and grandchildren were happily chatting with the fish and crab warriors when they heard a shout in mid-air,""Jing River Dragon King, accept the decree." Everyone looked up and saw a golden-robed warrior holding the Jade Emperor's edict and heading straight for the underwater mansion. The Dragon King was so flustered that he straightened his clothes, lit incense, and received the edict. The golden-robed warrior flew away. The Dragon King thanked him. When he opened the box, he saw the words: "I command the eight rivers to move like lightning. The next day, the rain will be spread to Chang 'an City.”The number of hours on the edict was exactly the same as what the gentleman had judged, scaring the Dragon King out of his wits. After a while he woke up and said to the other aquatic creatures,"There is such a spiritual man in the mortal world. He can really reach the sky and the earth, but he is not inferior to him.”"Don't worry, Your Majesty," said the military counselor. What was so difficult about defeating him? I have a plan to teach that guy a lesson.”When the Dragon King asked for advice, the military counselor replied," The time of the rain is different, and the points are less. It's just that the guy's divinations are not accurate. I'm afraid I can't beat him." At that time, he smashed the signboard and chased him away. What was so difficult about it?”The Dragon King did as he was told and was not worried at all.
The next day, he sent letters to Feng Bo, Lei Gong, Yun Tong and Dian Mu until they reached the sky above Chang 'an City. He endured until the clouds spread at Si o'clock, thunder at noon, and rain at noon. The rain stopped at Shen o'clock, but it was only three feet and forty points. It changed his time by two hours and restrained him by three inches and eight points. After the rain, he released the generals to return to the army. He then lowered the cloud and transformed into a white-robed scholar. He went to the main street in the west gate and crashed into Yuan Shoucheng's divination shop. Without saying anything, he smashed his signboard, brush, inkstone, etc. The gentleman sat on the chair and did not move. The Dragon King lifted the door again and began to hit and curse,"This demon who talks nonsense about good and bad, a thug who is good at bewitching people! Your divinations are ineffective, and your words are absurd! He said that the time of rain today is not relative, but you still sit high in danger. Go as soon as possible, and I will spare your death penalty!”Shoucheng wasn't afraid at all, he looked up at the sky and sneered,""I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid! I don't have a death penalty, but I'm afraid you do! It's easy to hide it from others, but it's hard to hide it from me. I recognize you. You are not a scholar, but the Dragon King of the Jing River. You have violated the Jade Emperor's edict, changed the time, countered the number, and violated the laws of heaven. You were on the Dragon Cutting Platform, and I'm afraid you couldn't avoid a slash, yet you're still scolding me?”Hearing this, the Dragon King was frightened and terrified. He hurriedly threw away the door, straightened his clothes, and knelt down in front of the mister."Please don't blame me, Mister. I was just joking before, but I didn't know that pretending to be true really violated the rules of heaven. What should I do? Please save me! Otherwise, I won't let you go even if I die." "I can't save you," said Shoucheng."I can only point out a way to reincarnate with you.”"I'd like your advice," said the dragon. "Tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon," said the master,"you will go to the office of Wei Zheng, the officer of the Cao, to be beheaded. If you really want your life, you should hurry and tell Emperor Taizong. Wei Zheng was the prime minister of the Tang King. If he did him a favor, he would be fine.”Hearing this, the Dragon King bowed and left with tears in his eyes. Unconsciously, the red sun set in the west, and on the lunar star, one could only see--
The purple crows on the misty mountain are tired, and the passers-by on the far road go to the inn. At the ferry, the new wild geese stayed in Suisha, and the Milky Way appeared. Urged to change the plan, the lonely village lights light up without flame. The wind blew and the smoke from the stove cleared the Taoist temple. The butterfly dreamed that the man could not be seen. The moon moved and the shadows of the flowers were on the railing, and the stars were chaotic. The sound of the night is changing, and it is already midnight.
The Dragon King of the Jing River didn't return to the Water Mansion. He stayed in the air until around midnight. He put away his clouds and fog horns and went straight to the gate of the Imperial Palace. At this time, the Tang King was dreaming outside the palace gate, walking under the moonlight and flowers. Suddenly, the Dragon King changed into a human and went forward to kneel. He shouted," Your Majesty, save me, save me!”"Who are you?" asked Taizong. I will save you." The Dragon King said,"Your Majesty is a true dragon, and I am a dragon of karma." Because I have violated the law of heaven, I should be beheaded by your majesty's virtuous minister Cao Guan Wei Zheng, so I came to beg your majesty to save me!”Taizong said,"Since Wei Zheng has been executed, I can save you. Don't worry and go." The Dragon King was delighted, kowtowed and left.
After Taizong woke up from his dream, he thought about it. It was already three o'clock at the fifth watch. Taizong held court and gathered two classes of civil and military officials. But seeing that--
Smoke shrouded the phoenix watchtower, fragrance filled the dragon tower. The light shook Danjun, and the clouds brushed the green flowers. The monarch and his subjects are in harmony with each other, like Yao
Shun's etiquette and music were close to that of the Han and Zhou Dynasties. The lights of the courtiers and the fans of the maids reflected the colors of the stars. Peacock tail, Qilin Palace, light floated everywhere. Long live the mountains, and the flowers wish for a thousand years. The whip sounded three times, and the clothes and hats bowed to the crown. The palace flowers are bright and fragrant, and the willow trees on the dyke are gentle and beautiful. Pearl curtain, jade curtain, golden hook high control; The Dragon-Phoenix Fan, Mountain River Fan, and the carriage stopped. Civil officials are handsome, and generals are full of vigor. The royal road is divided into high and low, and the red steps are arranged in grades. The golden seal and purple ribbon ride three elephants, and the earth lasts for thousands of years.
The officials had finished their congratulations and were divided into their respective classes. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty looked at them from the beginning. Among the civil officials were Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Xu Shibian, Xu Jingzong, and Wang Qiangui. Among the military officials were Ma Sanbao, Duan Zhixian, Yin Kaishan, Cheng Yaojin, Liu Hongji, Hu Jingde, and Qin Shubao. All of them were dignified, but Prime Minister Wei Zheng was not seen. The King of Tang summoned Xu Shiji to the palace and said,"I had a strange dream last night. I dreamed that a man was paying his respects to me and claimed to be the Dragon King of the Jing River. He had violated the laws of heaven and was beheaded by Cao Guan Wei Zheng. He begged me to save him, and I have promised. Why didn't you see Wei Zheng in front of the class today?”"I have told you in this dream that Wei Zheng will come to see you in a moment," replied Shiji."Do not let him out of the house. After this day, you can save the dragon in your dream.”The king of Tang was very happy and immediately issued an edict, saying that he should drive the official to announce Wei Zheng into the court.
Prime Minister Wei Zheng was in his mansion watching the elephant at night. He was enjoying the precious incense. He heard the cry of a crane in the nine heavens. It was an immortal messenger sent by heaven. He held a golden edict from the Jade Emperor and dreamed that he had killed the old dragon of the Jinghe River at three quarters of the afternoon. The Prime Minister thanked the heavens for their kindness, fasted and bathed, tested the Wisdom Sword in the residence, and circulated his primordial spirit, so he did not enter the court. As soon as he saw the official who should be driving with the imperial edict to announce, he was afraid and incompetent. He did not dare to disobey the king's orders, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and belt, followed the emperor's edict into the court, kowtowed in front of the emperor to apologize. The Tang King issued an edict saying,"Pardon your innocence."”At that time, the ministers had not yet retired from the court. At this point, they ordered the curtain to be closed and the court to be dismissed. Only Wei Zheng was left behind. He was summoned to the side hall to discuss the strategy of stabilizing the country and the strategy of stabilizing the country. When it was near the end of the day and the beginning of the afternoon, he ordered the people in the palace to bring over a big chess piece.”The concubines took the chessboard and laid it on the table. Wei Zheng thanked him for his kindness and played chess with the king of Tang. After all, we don't know the outcome. Let's listen to the next chapter.
