The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 173 Cutting off the Dragon Vein
I am the key to the emperor's house with talent.

It can make the people of the country change their bones at first sight.

The high mountains are infinite, so they are mountains.

The husband has no Teda, although he is expensive, he is busy.

——Excerpt from "Hua Folk Song" by Liu Yuxi
……

When we reached Canglong Ridge, we had already climbed for more than an hour.The mountain road is rugged and steep, and the caravan people used hooks and ladders to get here.Everyone collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.Several of them were dressed as literati and did not know martial arts. The last few sections of the journey were completely carried by others.

The road on Mount Hua was steep, and although Bai Li and his two had excellent lightness skills, they were a little tired from walking.Hiding behind a rock in the distance, he concentrated his ears and eavesdropped on the caravan's conversation.

The members of the caravan said to the leading scribe: "Mr. Buwei, you have a lot of knowledge, and tell us the allusions of Mount Hua, so that we, the vulgar ones, can learn a lot."

That Mr. Gao also became interested when he saw the crowd applauding.After a short rest, I cleared my throat, shook my head and hung up the book: "The Book of Books·Yu Gong Pian" records that this Mount Hua is the place where Xuanyuan Huangdi gathered the immortals.Since then, Huashan has become more and more famous. "Shun Dian" also wrote, "Emperor Shun went on a hunting trip to the west in August, as far as Huashan. '

Because Huashan is too dangerous, few people climbed it before my dynasty.The kings of all dynasties offered sacrifices to Xiyue, and they all held grand ceremonies in the Xiyue Temple at the foot of the mountain.

In the era of King Qin Zhao, King Qin Zhao ordered craftsmen to build hooks and ladders to climb Mount Hua.Since then, Huashan has been climbed to the top.

Qin Shihuang first sacrificed to Mount Hua. Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the number of titles has increased and intensified. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the construction of Jiling Palace, the predecessor of Xiyue Temple;

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was no road leading to the top of Mount Hua.Until my dynasty, with the prosperity of Taoism, Taoist priests began to build temples on the mountain, and gradually dug a dangerous road along the valley on the north slope.

In the second year of Wude, Emperor Gaozu hunted in Mount Hua; in the same year, Emperor Gaozu sent Emperor Taizong to conquer the mountains; On Huashan Mountain, the Holy Master ordered people to dig Huashan Road and set up a mandala.This is the path we are taking today. "

Everyone was delighted to hear this, and a strong man asked: "Mr. Buwei, I heard that the emperor's old son named Shaohao, the God of Huashan, the Golden Heavenly King. Is there such a thing?"

Mr. Gao smiled and said: "That's right, this is exactly the purpose of our coming here. The reason why the Holy One named Huashan God Shaohao as the Golden Heavenly King is because Huashan is the birth mountain of the current Holy One!"
Speaking of which, here is another allusion:
When Xuanzong enshrined Zen in Xishan, he personally wrote "Huayue Stele": "I will give birth to a boy."At the age of Jingxu, in the mid-autumn of the month, Chuan Shaohao's Shengde is associated with Taihua's natal life, so he sleeps on Lingyue, and hears God's friendship. '

From this, Li Linfu knew that Huashan was Xuanzong's natal mountain.

In the first year of Tianbao, Li Shizhi, the left prime minister, was also the grandson of Li Chengqian, the deposed prince of the Zhenguan Dynasty.His temperament is generous and straightforward, but he lacks city mansion.Li Shizhi was able to handle affairs, was proficient in government affairs, and was appreciated by the sage, so he was naturally suspected by Li Linfu.Li Linfu decided to find an opportunity to guide Li Shizhi to make mistakes, and designed to frame him.

In the fifth year of Tianbao, the state's budget was discussed in court.Li Shizhi was worried, and felt that the Holy Majesty had spent too much, and the treasury Zuo Zang might not be able to support it.On the way to court, Li Linfu pretended to be chatting, and told him in a low voice: "I heard that Huashan is rich in gold mines. If they are mined, the treasury will be rich in reserves, and the state's expenditure for ten years will be no problem. The treasury will not be short of money, but The emperor seems to be unaware of this!"

Li Shizhi was secretly delighted, and felt that this matter was of great benefit to both public and private.Obsessed with profit, he didn't pay attention: "Such a beautiful thing, why didn't Li Linfu report it to the Holy Majesty alone, but told himself instead?"

A few days later, Li Shizhi couldn't hold back, and took the opportunity to report the matter by telling Xuanzong.In order to claim credit from the Holy Majesty, he concealed the source of the news.

Xuanzong was very excited when he heard that there was a big gold mine, and quickly summoned Li Linfu to inquire about it.Li Linfu was not surprised, and said slowly: "I have known that Huashan contains gold mines, but Huashan is your majesty's natal mountain, where the dragon veins are, and the king's energy is concentrated, so it is not suitable for mining, so I have never dared to mention it."

When Xuanzong heard it, he felt that Li Linfu was still thoughtful, and he was very dissatisfied with Li Shizhi's inconsiderateness.He said to him very unhappy: "In the future, you should discuss with Li Xiang first, and you can't be so hasty." Since then, the impression of Li Shizhi has plummeted.Li Shizhi was tricked by Li Linfu, he was said to be a dumb eater of Coptis chinensis, unable to tell what he was suffering from. "

Everyone listened amusedly and laughed.

The brawny man then asked: "Mr. Buwei, since Mount Hua is the birthplace of the emperor's old son, is our purpose here related to this?"

Mr. Gao withdrew his smile, and said seriously: "Yes, the purpose of our coming here is to dig out Li Longji's dragon veins!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then applauded in response.

A scribe stood up angrily and said: "Mr. Buwei's words are absolutely true! I fully support your righteous deeds!" It was this person who led the way up the mountain this time.

He angrily accused the government, saying: "Back then, Yu Wenrong, the great-great-grandson of Yu Wenbi, was deeply favored by Li Longji. In the ninth year of Kaiyuan, when he was in the post of supervisory censor, he checked the fugitive household registration. Investigation. These officials tried their best to show off and were harsh and harsh. State and county officials looked up to the wind and catered to their wishes. They reported a large number of falsified documents, which caused troubles and pain to the farmers. Wei Huangfujing of Yangzhai County reported the truth, and Li Longji immediately sent Huangfu Jing Relegated to Yingchuan county lieutenant.

In the 11th year of Kaiyuan, when he served as Yushi Zhongcheng, he intensified, rioting the society and endangering the people.Baiguan was afraid of Li Longji's love for him, so he didn't dare to say anything.My father (Yang Jue) was the servant of the household department at that time, worried about the world, and spoke out to advise, and was demoted to the governor of Huazhou.

In the 17th year of Kaiyuan, Yu Wenrong was promoted to be the Minister of the Huangmen and Tongping Zhangshi. Excisements became more and more violent, the lives of the people were miserable, and the world resented.

Li Longji was extravagant and licentious, officials who dared to tell the truth were demoted, and officials who searched and collected were promoted.If the king is allowed to rule the world, it will be the suffering of the people all over the world. "
