Smuggling Daming

Qingzhou is not far from Mount Tai, nor is it close. Even if you take a carriage, you still need to walk for half a day to get there. However, this does not stop Zhuanger and the others from enjoying Mount Tai. The face was flushed, and they kept discussing various anecdotes about Mount Tai and the beautiful scenery on the way to Mount Tai with Zhuo'er. Of course, they read these from books, and now they can finally visit them in person.

Zhou Zhong could understand the excitement of Jinxuan and the others, although from his perspective as a later generation, Mount Tai was just a mountain with more beautiful scenery and more cultural scenery on the mountain.However, in Jinxuan's eyes, Mount Tai is not only the head of the Five Sacred Mountains, but also the number one mountain in the world. Ever since Qin Shihuang enshrined Mount Tai, later generations have followed suit and carved stone inscriptions on the mountain, attracting countless literati in history. They came to travel and left countless poems and essays, and many poems and essays were even carved directly on the stone walls, which is infinitely attractive to them.

Zhou Zhong sat in the carriage with Jinxuan and the others for a while, and finally he felt a little stuffy in the carriage, so he came out and rode on the horse. Unexpectedly, he just saw King Heng coming out of the front carriage to change horses. Okay, this made Zhou Zhong laugh, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Why does Your Highness come out to ride a horse, is it also the same as Zhou, thinking that the carriage is too boring?"

This morning when Zhou Zhong and the others were about to send troops, they received a notice from King Heng to take them to Mount Tai for fun. This made Zhou Zhong wish for it too. After all, it was a good thing to have someone who was familiar with Mount Tai help them as a tour guide.But when King Heng knew that Zhou Zhongzhong was going with his family, he called Princess Heng, and Princess Heng could entertain Zhou Zhong's family when they arrived on the mountain.

Seeing that Zhou Zhong was also riding a horse, King Heng, who had just mounted the horse, smiled and said: "It seems that my king and Wenda really have the same temperament, even the habits are similar, just now I just accompanied you in the carriage. Take a look at Wangfei, no matter where I usually go, I still prefer to ride a horse, unless I wait until I am too old to ride a horse, I will consider traveling in a carriage."

When talking about this, I saw Zhu Youzheng paused for a moment and then said: "In addition, in my opinion, riding a horse is the only way to show my true qualities as a man, and the Mongols in the northern grasslands often go south to plunder, although I can't go to the battlefield in person to fight those Mongols. The Tartars fought, but they never forgot the bravery of the ancestors. Therefore, apart from liking calligraphy, I also did not forget to learn the art of cavalry and archery. I, Ming, will never use it to the day when our King Fan kills the enemy!"

Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words full of ambition, especially the last few sentences.But Zhou Zhong couldn't help but fell silent, he knew the reason why Zhu Youzhen said that he didn't want the day when the king of Tuo went to battle to kill the enemy.It wasn't because he was afraid of death, but because if Da Ming really needed the king of Fan to fight the enemy, he might have already reached the moment of life and death.

In addition, Zhou Zhong thought that when the Ming Dynasty was about to perish in history, there was indeed a Tibetan king who dared to fight in person in the Ming clan. This person was Tang Wang Zhu Yujian.But the imperial court did not agree, and later he took the soldiers of the palace to suppress the rebellion without authorization.But before meeting the enemy, he was arrested by the court, and even the throne was abolished.

Thinking of the hard-fated King Tang in later generations, and looking at the King Heng who was full of desire to serve the country, Zhou Zhong couldn't help but wry smile.Through getting along with yesterday and today, Zhou Zhong found that Zhu Youzhen is not bad, he is not as greedy as other kings, his biggest hobbies are calligraphy and reading, and now he also knows how to ride and shoot and the art of war, which is also considered He has both civil and military skills, but it is a pity that his status limits his talents. No matter how talented he is, he can only die quietly while eating, drinking and playing like the kings of various places in Ming Dynasty. A name was left in the family tree of the Daming Emperor.

When it was almost noon, Zhou Zhong and his convoy finally arrived at Tai'an City at the foot of Mount Tai. However, they did not disturb the local government, nor did they look for an inn in the city, but directly lived in the Dai Temple at the foot of Mount Tai. Dai Temple was originally the residence of the emperors of all dynasties when they granted Zen to Mount Tai. The tofu feast and wild vegetable feast in the temple are unique.

Zhu Youzhen loves reading, and he likes calligraphy even more. Mount Tai is full of inscriptions by famous masters of past dynasties, so he is also a frequent visitor to Mount Tai. Miao Zhu Ziyou is a good friend of his, so before Zhou Zhong and the others arrived, board and lodging had been prepared in Dai Temple, and what they ate at noon was the world-famous Taishan Tofu Banquet, but because it is already winter Well, there were no wild vegetables in the mountains, so Zhou Zhong and the others couldn't eat wild vegetables.

After tasting the delicious wild vegetable feast, Biao'er and the other women, regardless of the fatigue of the journey, immediately went to climb Mount Tai with great enthusiasm. Zhou Zhong originally wanted to visit the Dai Temple and wait until tomorrow to climb Mount Tai, but seeing Biao'er and the others couldn't wait to get excited He couldn't bear to refuse, and finally nodded in agreement. Anyway, there are many temples on the mountain, so at worst, he will live on the mountain tonight.

King Heng also laughed at Zhou Zhong's suggestion that they were going to climb Mount Tai soon. He has lived next to Mount Tai for a long time, and he often sees people like Zhou Zhong and the others who came to Mount Tai for the first time. He went up the mountain earlier, so he didn't object, and immediately accompanied Zhou Zhong, and Princess Heng accompanied Jinxuan and the others to climb Mount Tai.

They first came to Wangmu Pond through Dai Zongfang. Although it is called Wangmu Pond, there is not really only one pond, but a double courtyard. There is a pond in the front yard, which is extremely clear, that is, In the legendary Wangmu Pond, the statue of the Queen Mother is enshrined in the main hall of the front yard, and the backyard is called the Qizhen Hall, also known as the Luzu Hall, where Lu Dongbin, Tieguai Li, He Xiangu and several disciples of Lu Dongbin are enshrined. Collectively known as Qizhen.

As soon as Zhou Zhong and the others arrived here, Jinxuan took him to the Queen Mother's Hall to offer incense and make a wish, hoping that her child would be born and be blessed by the Queen Mother.Although Zhou Zhong didn't believe this, but seeing Jinxuan's pious appearance and thinking of the child who was about to be born, he also sincerely put Taoist incense on the Queen Mother, and also donated a sum of money to the Taoist priests here to repair it. Taoist use.

However, just after Zhou Zhong and Jinxuan finished worshiping, Xie Lingyun immediately pulled him to worship again in front of the statue of the Queen Mother. No need to ask, this time it must be for the Queen Mother to bless their marriage. Next, the people around Zhou Zhong It was replaced with a bracelet again, but she wanted to let the Queen Mother bless Aunt Wang's health with Zhou Zhong.

After bowing with Bracelet, Zhou Zhong saw Bai Mengwan's eager expression again, but he didn't dare to take the initiative to go forward. This made him sigh in his heart, so he simply called Bai Mengwan over and bowed together, but it turned out that she Happily, I laughed from the beginning to the end, without the solemnity of worshiping God at all.In the end, even Xila found it very interesting, and forced Zhou Zhong to worship with her.

After paying homage to the Queen Mother, Zhou Zhong and the others went to the back to visit the Qizhen Hall and the nearby Luzu Cave and other scenic spots. Finally, they left the Queen Mother Pond and then walked up the stone steps. There are many Taoist temples, stone carvings and other scenic spots on the way. There is no need to elaborate on the number.

However, most of Zhou Zhong and his team are female relatives, and the speed of walking and stopping is not fast, so when they arrived at the Doumu Palace halfway up the mountain, the sky was already dark. Finally, Zhou Zhong discussed with King Heng and decided immediately. Live in Doumu Palace at night.

After arranging the accommodation, Jinxuan immediately dragged Zhou Zhongjin into the main hall to pay respects to the enshrined Dou Mu. This time, it was still for the fetus in her womb, because the Dou Mu enshrined in the Dou Mu Palace is known as the mother of stars. One of the most important responsibilities is to protect the fetus and protect the baby. Compared with the Almighty God, the Queen Mother, Doumu's responsibilities are much more professional, so many pregnant women around Mount Tai will go to Doumu Palace to worship Buddha and pray for Doumu. The mother blesses the fetus in the womb to be born smoothly.

Doumu Palace is still more than half of the distance from the top of the mountain, but it has already taken Zhou Zhong and the others an afternoon. This is mainly because it is cold on Mount Tai in winter, and they have their female relatives with them, so the speed of progress is very slow. It is estimated that even if we climb another day tomorrow, it will be difficult to reach the top of the mountain.But King Heng said it was okay, because it was extremely cold on the top of the mountain now, and the mountain road was already frozen, so they had better just go to the Shengxian Pavilion on the mountainside.

Hearing that they could not reach the top of the mountain, Zhuanger and the others felt a little regretful, but Zhou Zhong was relieved. He had always been worried that Jinxuan would be bad for the children when he climbed the mountain. Now he heard that he could only reach halfway up the mountain tomorrow at most. I was worried that Jinxuan would be exhausted.

After a night of rest in the Doumu Palace, Zhou Zhong and the others got up early the next morning. Although they couldn't enjoy the beauty of the sunrise on the top of Mount Tai, they could also enjoy the future on the mountainside.

The breakfast was prepared for them by the female Taoist priests in the Doumu Palace. The staple food is still tofu. After all, the water quality in Mount Tai is very good, and the tofu produced is also very famous, so the Taoist temples and temples along the way like to entertain guests with tofu.

In the morning, Zhou Zhong followed King Heng and walked up for a while. After arriving at the legendary Shengxian Pavilion, he turned back down the mountain. At night, he finally returned to Dai Temple. Prince Heng's good friend Zi Youzheng prepared again. The tofu feast is over, but this time the tofu feast is completely different from the tofu feast at noon yesterday. This is because there are more than 150 dishes in the tofu feast, and Zhou Zhong and the others only ate less than one-third of them yesterday. If they wanted to finish the whole tofu banquet, Zhou Zhong and the others would probably have to stay another day.

Jinxuan and the other female relatives were naturally entertained by Princess Heng. Zhou Zhong and King Heng felt a little lonely sitting together, so they called Ziyou to sit with them. Wait, it's also free and easy.But in the middle of the banquet, Zhou Zhong suddenly winked, and Wangcai next to him immediately understood, turned around and left the room to do what Zhou Zhong told him.
