The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

As soon as you enter Guanzhou City, you will see a huge stone tablet with some words written on it.

Pang Shiwu looked at it intently and saw that it actually contained the history of Guanzhou's development. He didn't know which official in charge had built such a "monument".

Feng Jiuxiao said: "This stone tablet is very meaningful. It tells the history of Guanzhou City very clearly. It seems that the chief officer here has a lot of ideas."

Liu Miezhou said: "It seems that he also wants to learn from Wang Lun and trick more talented people to visit here. This will not only enhance the local reputation, but also boost local incense!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "The court should make use of such officials."

Liu Miezhou shook his head and said, "It's a pity that many dynasties nowadays do not value capable officials, but only clever officials!"

Pang Shiwu said: "To put it bluntly, people with ability are not valued, while people without ability but with connections are valued."

Liu Mie Zhou said: "This young boy is teachable!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "You can't generalize! The Zhao Song Dynasty is now on the rise. If we can't reward people according to their merits and punish them according to their feelings, it will be difficult to stabilize our foundation and win the hearts of the people!"

Liu Miezhou asked: "Do you think Zhao Song is different?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Not bad!"

Liu Miezhou stopped dwelling on this topic and turned to look at the stone tablet, saying calmly: "I never thought that the history of Guanzhou could be traced back to the Warring States Period!"

According to the inscription, after King Huiwen of Qin conquered Shu, this place belonged to Shu County.

The government office was set up since the Qin Dynasty, called the Xian Di Dao, and was promoted to a county in the Han Dynasty.

During the Shu Han period, it was renamed Xian County, and soon after was changed to 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 divisions changed greatly. During the Liu Song Dynasty, the seat of Wenshan County was moved to Guankou, and it governed Du'an and Yanguan counties. In the first year of Yongming of Emperor Wu of the Southern Qi Dynasty, Qiji County was established, and it was under the jurisdiction of Wenshan County together with Du'an and Yanguan. In the Southern Liang Dynasty, Qiji County was established in Qiji County, and the county and prefecture were governed together. In the third year of Tianhe in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Wenshan County returned to its seat and Yanguan County was changed to Wenshan County, which still belonged to Wenshan County. In the fourth year of Tianhe, Qiji County was abolished, and Qiji County was changed to Qingcheng County, which belonged to Jianwei County. In the third year of Daye of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Wenshan County was abolished and its land was merged into Pi County. In the first year of Wude of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, Zhenjing Army was established on the site of Wenshan County, and Panlong County was established on the site of Du'an. In the sixth year, Panlong County was changed to Daojiang County, which belonged to Mengzhou, and Qingcheng County belonged to Shuzhou. In the twelfth year of Kaiyuan of Emperor Xuanzong, Qingcheng County was changed to Qingcheng County. In the first year of Wucheng of Former Shu, Zhenjing Army was changed to Guanzhou, which governed Qingcheng and Daojiang counties.

Although Pang Shiwu didn't recognize some of the characters, he could understand the general idea. He looked at Feng Jiuxiao and said, "It's the same place, but you changed so many names. Aren't you afraid of trouble?"

Zeng Yong didn't get in the car, and sneered, "As the saying goes, a new emperor appoints new ministers. Even people have to change, so isn't it normal to change the name of a place?"

Pang Shiwu chuckled, and suddenly he remembered something, and immediately asked Zeng Yong: "Brother Zeng, is there a place that has changed dynasties many times but its name has never changed?"

Zeng Yong was stunned for a moment!

"Hey! You got me stumped! I can't remember which place has never changed its name!"

Pang Shiwu looked at Feng Jiuxiao, "Brother, what do you think?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "There are indeed quite a few cities and counties that have not changed their names for thousands of years. For example, the city we just left, Chengdu, was built after the King of Zhou moved to Qi. One year later, it became a settlement, two years later it became a town, and three years later it became Chengdu, hence the name Chengdu. In Shu language, the pronunciation of the word Chengdu is "Shudu". "Cheng" means "finish" and "end", and Chengdu means the ultimate capital of Shu. "

Pang Shiwu immediately said proudly: "Big brother is big brother, you can never ask him! Besides Chengdu, who else could it be?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Handan, Changsha, Luoyang, Xianyang, Yangzhou..."

Pang Shiwu's eyes widened. "Are these the same names?"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "Of course! For example, Handan was the capital of the State of Zhao during the Warring States Period! The name 'Handan' first appeared in the ancient version of "The Bamboo Annals". The origin of the place name Handan is recorded in "Han Shu·Geography". The annotation of Zhang Yan, a Wei person during the Three Kingdoms period: 'Handan Mountain is under the east city. Shan means the end. The city wall is from the town, so the word 'town' is added.' This means that the place name Handan originated from Handan Mountain. Under the east city of Handan, there is a mountain called Handan Mountain. Shan means the end of the mountain range. Handan Mountain ends here, so it is named Handan. Because the city wall is from the town, the word 'town' is added to Shan to become Handan."

Pang Shiwu said, "I have heard of many idioms related to Handan, such as learning to walk in Handan, wearing Hu clothing and riding and shooting, and returning the jade intact to Zhao. 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 marrying a wife?"

Pang Shiwu shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Then let me tell you about it?"

Pang Shiwu smiled and said, "Okay, okay!"

  The road ahead is long and I don’t know how to relieve my worries. Only my elder brother’s stories can relieve my boredom!

Liu Miezhou said incredulously: "You haven't heard of it?"

Pang Shiwu glared at him, "Are you deliberately mocking me?"

Liu Miezhou laughed and said, "How could that be? I thought you knew such a classic story!"

Pang Shiwu said, "Why don't you tell me?"

Liu Miezhou smiled and said, "Not good."

"What's wrong with that? Can you tell the same story in two different ways?"

"No, that won't happen. 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. I can't tell the story of He Bo marrying a wife as the story of He Bo marrying a daughter!"

Pang Shiwu smiled and said, "I would like to hear the story of He Bo marrying his daughter! I guess everyone here has never heard of it. Brother Zeng, have you heard of it?"

Zeng Yong remained calm and said, "I haven't heard of it!"

Pang Shiwu asked Feng Jiuxiao, "Brother, have you heard it?" Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Pang Shiwu was stunned. "Huh? Is there really a story about He Bo marrying off his daughter?"

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things."

Liu Miezhou was also puzzled, "Is there really such a story?"

He boasted of being well-read and well-read, but he could not remember which book contained such a legend!

Suddenly, Yuan Zishan said in the car: "Don't listen to his nonsense. If you really ask him for advice, he will make up a story for you even if he has to make it up on the spot!"

Liu Miezhou laughed, "No way?"

Pang Shiwu also scratched his head, "Brother, you are not really making this up, are you?"

Feng Jiuxiao coughed dryly, "Am I that kind of person?"

Yuan Zishan asked: "Why, did I say something wrong?"

Feng Jiuxiao immediately looked solemn, "How is that possible? You are right!"

As the group was walking forward leisurely, they suddenly saw people around them running forward quickly, and someone shouted, "Hurry up, we won't be able to see you soon!"

Everyone saw that the people around them all started moving immediately. Those who were setting up stalls stopped looking at their stalls, and those who were strolling around stopped strolling around, and they all rushed to the front.

At this time, a middle-aged man with unsteady legs and feet happened to pass by them. Feng Jiuxiao hurriedly asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"

The lame man said impatiently: "Hey, don't waste my time watching the fun, if you want to watch, go quickly!" He glared at Feng Jiuxiao angrily, then limped forward!

Feng Jiuxiao asked: "What? Go and take a look?"

Pang Shiwu immediately said, "Since 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 driver didn't move, but smiled strangely.

Feng Jiuxiao scolded with a smile: "Oh, just go! Do you think she doesn't agree?"

The driver smiled but said nothing.

Yuan Zishan in the car said, "Let's go."

  The driver smiled strangely at Feng Jiuxiao again, his eyes seemed full of sympathy, then he whipped his horse whip and shouted, "Go!" The carriage started! The other carriages followed at the same time!

Big Wolf said, "I don't want to take the car anymore." Then he strode forward at a rapid speed!

Zeng Yong said: "I won't sit down either."

Liu Miezhou said: "If no one sits 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 him.

We followed the crowd forward, turned a few corners, and went further and further away, and finally arrived at a vast lake.

At this time, the lakeside was already crowded with people.

  In the place closest to the lake, flags were waving and gongs and drums were beating. It looked like a grand event was being held and everyone's face was filled with excitement!

Liu Miezhou couldn't help but frowned. He looked at Feng Jiuxiao. At this time, Feng Jiuxiao also looked at Liu Miezhou. The two looked at each other, and both had a bad premonition in their hearts.

I saw an official by the lake reading a sacrificial text, which meant to offer sacrifice to the lake god!

There were two young children kneeling beside him!

His eyes were filled with fear of the unknown as he stared at the two couples in the crowd who were crying heartbreakingly!

  Especially the two women, who were stopped by the yamen runners and tried desperately to rush to the children!

Zeng Yong frowned and said, "Are you going to perform a living human sacrifice?"

  Pang Shiwu already had his hand on the hilt of the sword!

The official finished reading the sacrificial text and said to the crowd, "Let's get ready."

After a few elders who looked highly respected talked to a Taoist priest for a few words, they nodded to the official to indicate that it was okay!

The officer raised his hand and said, "Begin!"

Several yamen runners quickly picked up the child, placed him in a large wooden basin, and prepared to push the basin into the lake.

Suddenly someone said, "Wait a minute!" (End of this chapter)
