Clam Pearl

But he said that Gu Zhao had finished lunch with his elder brother, saw that his elder brother was a little sleepy, so he sent him back in person, and left after seeing that he had fallen asleep.

Coming out of Pingzhou Alley, Gu Zhao didn't go home, but got into the car and slipped to Guanshan twenty miles away.

Guanshan is not big, and it belongs to Qinglong Mountain. It is famous for its rich bluestone materials. Most of the stone lions at the gates of the big families in Beijing come from this. In the past, a large number of stonemasons and quarries gathered here.

In the 12th year of Tiancheng, today's majesty entrusted this place with a radius of [-] miles to Gu Zhao, the king of Pingzhou County. Because the surrounding area of ​​Guanshan Mountain is not suitable for farming, such a reward is not considered generous, so no one makes trouble.

After Gu Zhao won Guanshan, he signed an employment contract with the stonemasons around him, and started a huge project in Guanshan with an annual investment of one million guan.

This kind of project is nothing more than a certain desire of Gu Zhao. He thought, people will always die, so how many ways are there to prove that they have lived?The million-dollar immigration plan is one, and the Guanshan Project is the second.

He wants to dig out 99 caves in Guanshan. In the 99 caves, he will not describe history or religion on the walls of the caves. , some craftsmen's books that can be passed on, and enlightenment books and other learning seals are carved on the stone wall.

In this way, even if the world changes dynasties in the future, since it does not involve history, I hope they can be preserved, and they will not be like those bamboo slips and paper books, which are displaced under the scroll of history and finally lost inheritance.

After this idea was spread, there was a wonderful chemical change up and down. Who wouldn't want to be famous for thousands of years?Even Zhao Chunrun thought, so, with a swipe of his pen today, he wrote poems to persuade students and a warning text. In Gu Zhao's view, this thing is just a preface made by the emperor.

The preface is written like this: In the 15th year of Liang Tiancheng, the country has no internal worries, no worries about foreign affairs, thousands of miles of land, each in their homes, hundreds of schools of thought, competing to contend, singing and writing poems, beautiful all over the world, fishing, agriculture, industry and commerce, as busy as crucian carp .In order to avoid the hatred of future generations who have no predestined skills in strange books, inherit the inspiration of the sages from the heavens, gather the directors of all the families of the present, and instruct the scholars who have studied extensively to search extensively and collect them by category, so as to learn from all the best. Hundreds of schools of thought, poems and biographies, and miscellaneous works from barnyard fields are all hunted. Today, all kinds of strange books and seals are in Guanshan, passed down to future generations, and engraved here to remember my bosom. Common people, descendants of Fubei...

Gu Zhaohou thought, no!Why should I pay you for the preface?You write and I write too.

So, he started writing and wrote the second preface, which narrated a short story very straightforwardly.

The story goes like this, when Gu Zhao's father went out to attack a certain place, he opened the library of a scholar's family. This family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it is said that countless books have been left behind, but the descendants are useless. Therefore, most of the books at home were damaged, the bamboo slips fell apart, and the sheepskins were rotten. Only some words inscribed on bronze vessels were preserved.

Back home, the old man often sighs with his children. Although he is a martial artist, he often feels sad when he sees the passing of thousands of years. He often thinks that if there is some way to pass on the knowledge.

In this way, there is today's Guanshan Stone Cave, also known as Baijia Stone Carvings.

As soon as these hundreds of stone carvings came out, they were immediately regarded as a face project by scholars all over the world, that's right, who wouldn't want to be famous forever?The Chinese people in North Korea are more or less toothache, and Wu Xun's family did this, which is really a slap in the face for them.They want to do it too, but they don't have that much money!

In this way, there are big works, small ones, and there is no Guanshan. Is it possible to dig a hole in the back of my hometown!In this way, the tossing stone cave was out of control, and there was a tendency to cause disaster.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the government to promulgate laws, not to dig holes everywhere to harm living beings, and strictly stipulated the size of the caves. They also explored Qingshi Mountains suitable for caves in every county and fixed the place, just like The archway is like a memorial archway. If your home has contributed to the people and the community, you will be given a place. You can come here and carve it yourself. It is illegal to dig a hole in the mountain behind your home.

In this way, this stone carving has become a kind of reward from the imperial court. From Gu Zhao's point of view, Zhao Chunrun is becoming more and more able to save money.

Ah!

Pooh! !

It has not been two years since this thing became popular, and now that Fanju is a big family, the first thing to look at is not only the family status, but also whether there is a hole in his home.

These people, including Gu Zhao himself, never expected that this matter would really be done.

In this way, Daliang calligraphy miraculously became a kind of culture with the momentum of starting a prairie fire, and developed various genres, not only culture, after thousands or even ten thousand years, countless dynasties were annihilated, and Daliang Dynasty really borrowed these stone carvings The brilliance of the book miraculously preserved the most precious historical wealth.

And this wealth has made the people near Guanshan eat the tourist meal rewarded by their ancestors for thousands of years.

Of course, the two names Zhao Chunrun and Gu Zhao remained like stone carvings, along with Gu Zhao's father, Gu Suanni.

Since the construction of the Guanshan Project started, it has naturally become a very sacred place. The first person to come was Jinshan Lord. Since the old man knew about this, he began to apply to the court for Jinshan stone carvings. However, this time, Zhao Chunrun hung him. It is not allowed.

Without it, everyone in the world can get stone carvings. With Jinshan's traditional stinginess, why should scholars all over the world go to see them?Since you are not open, I will not appreciate this face.

Zhao Chunrun thought, this face is reserved for Axiu's enthronement, so let him give it.

But he said that when Gu Zhao came to Guanshan, twenty miles away, it was already the first hour of Shenshi, and when he got out of the car, Gu Huaizi, who was watching the project, had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Gu Zhao get off the car, he came to report , then took King Yan up the mountain with a group of people.He also said that Gu Yunqing, Young Master Sun of the second master's mansion, has lived in the village at the foot of the mountain for half a month. When he came, Young Master Sun brought ten cartloads of letters.

Gu Zhao laughed after hearing this: "Let's line up, who knows who will decide what will happen in the future? This man! The windings of his intestines are all different. The catalog set by the Holy One must be engraved for at least ten years. It will be another ten years for the sages, and by that time, all the ashes will return to ashes, how interesting! I didn’t even think about it! He has already lined up early! Who is he!"

Gu Huaizi lowered his head and laughed along, what could he say, Qi Ye's mouth was never polite, not only rude, but also very vicious.

Master Jinshan's face can be refuted, so what is the second old master, now he is not happy with everything, the noble has also given up, and the soldiers have not been taken. It is the fifth master who is in charge.

Gu Zhao got on the pole and was carried up the mountain surrounded by a group of people. Apart from the five-car-wide bluestone steps up the mountain, on both sides of the road were huge stone embryos of stone statues of saints. Behind the statues, they were pulled from nearby. The field is covered with peach and plum trees, which symbolizes the meaning of peach and plum all over the world.

Today, those trees have not yet matured, and few statues of saints have been erected. However, according to the birth years of these saints, they have already been arranged.

One of the two saints at the bottom is a character maker and the other is a brush maker. In the future, the saints will be in this generation, and Gu Zhao also wants to erect a small statue of the paper-making craftsmen of this generation...

Keeping the craftsmen here is also a big project for Gu Zhao to seek the welfare of the craftsmen all over the world.He thought, depending on the people in power of your generation, apart from modern times, whoever came to power to win over is nothing but scholars from all over the world.

Now he carved all the boulders taken out of the belly of Guanshan into the sages of scholars of all generations, to see who dares to come here to toss on the stage.

In fact, no one really dared to make a fuss, but there was a joke here, but it was a pity that Gu Zhao himself couldn't hear it.

When the Guanshan Stone Carving reached the No.40 cave, Gu Zhao passed away. Later generations did not dare to destroy the plan he made before his death, so they tossed out a second cave not far away in Qinglongclaw. Who is in power over there? Whoever sets up a stone statue, when someone overthrows the dynasty, all the stone statues will naturally be torn down, and there will be another one.

It was pushed sixteen times like this before it was completely preserved.There is a word in later generations, which is called: push sixteen times!This sentence symbolizes the change of dynasties and the impermanence of time.

Being carried all the way up the mountain, Gu Zhao's mood is getting better and better seeing that the project is going well. Now the second hole has only been mined in Guanshan, and the project is progressing delicately and slowly.Because he didn't want to leave behind a reputation of wasting money and people in order to open canals and build mausoleums, he set strict specifications here, that is, the number of stonemasons in the Guanshan project should not exceed [-].

A steady stream of water is the attitude of a real man. In Gu Zhao's opinion, if something becomes too big, it will not be a good thing. This is a bloody historical lesson.

When this group of people went up to the middle of the mountain, they met Zhao Yuanxiu and his party. Gu Zhao got off the pole, and he saluted Zhao Yuanxiu in front of everyone.

After Zhao Yuanxiu returned the half-respect politely in front of people, he sent everyone to follow from a distance, and the father and father walked up the stairs talking and laughing.

Gu Zhao asked him with a smile, "When did you come back?"

The 21-year-old Zhao Yuanxiu has grown up now, and is the father of three sons and two daughters.

This child is not as affectionate as his father, and his fate is a hundred times better than his father. Except that he was a little bumpy before the age of six, after the age of six, the view of the emperor was opened to him by Zhao Chunrun, and the view of the world was opened to him by Gu Zhao opened.

Compared with the two above him, the education Zhao Yuanxiu received is definitely different. Among all his courses, Jin Shanzhu and the ancient emperor they admire taught him the least. Now, he is recommended by the care Zhao every year. place to go out once.

Gu Zhao thinks this way, you can't think that you are standing in the center of the world like the ancient Chinese traditional emperors, you think you are in the center.

You have to go out, you have to see how big the world is, and how wide the sea is. You have to understand which piece of land you will fight for in the future. You also need to understand that the people you manage, they What do you think!

This is Gu Zhaoxiang's world view.

In this way, King Yan would go out to wander for half a year every year, living in the ordinary world as an ordinary person.

When he came back, Zhao Chunrun would lead him to review the memorials and take him hand in hand to be the emperor intern.

In fact, no matter how you look at the three brothers on the surface, Zhao Yuanxiu has the lowest pedigree and the lowest talent. However, due to the different education he received and the different steps he stood on, the scenery he saw was also different.

Just like that, he distanced himself from those two by a long distance.

Many years ago, 16-year-old Zhao Yuanxiu met his first love during a long trip. At that time, he pretended to be a poor student, under the pseudonym Gu Xiu, and studied in Yuanshan Academy. During his study, Zhao Yuanxiu fell in love with his teacher's daughter. He wanted to marry her.

As the emperor, Zhao Chunrun naturally didn't want his son to marry such a woman, but Gu Zhao said something back then, which was as follows:

He doesn't rely on marriage to curry favor with anyone, and we've been like mice in our lives not daring to stand on the stage. Could it be that you still want to torment him?

Therefore, Zhao Yuanxiu found the wife with the lowest family status among the Three Kings.

Gu Zhao originally thought that this kid would be a true love in this life, but no one thought that once the gate was opened, within three to five years, he would always be able to return to a "true love".

Now, Gu Zhao became angry, and chased him all over the yard with a board, beat him abruptly, and the father and son had a long talk about love and family.

Of course, here Gu Zhao cannot say that Zhao Yuanxiu is wrong. Zhao Yuanxiu is actually a typical emperor-type personality in the feudal era.

The father and father climbed up the stairs, Gu Zhao didn't say a word, Zhao Yuanxiu began to report the matter, and wanted to ask the little daddy to make up his mind. In his heart, the little daddy is the "mother", the person who loves him the most and pities him the most in the world , he can freely act like a baby with "mother", ask "mother" for his private house, and can chat with "mother" what's in his heart...

He knows it in his heart!When I was a child, I had nightmares at night, and when I cried, I heard the doorbell not long after, and then his little daddy ran over with his clothes on, his hair unkempt, and his shoes on his back, first he touched him up and down, and then he hugged him and hummed While comforting.

Who in the world can do this?That is "mother", there is no one who loves him wholeheartedly like little daddy.

"Little Daddy..."

"...It's outside, just pay attention! Ah!"

"Oh."

"Why are you free today? Are you here?"

"Look at what you said? You put it so well! How can I not watch it? Your grand-nephew is watching the sky at the foot of the mountain. You can say, this will be left to me in the future!

My things, of course I have to keep an eye on them!And...you wronged me!I haven't been free before, and now I came back, the doorman told me that although those two didn't come out, they had already stretched out their hands here, and if they were restless, I had to come over and show my face, just to stabilize people's hearts. "

Gu Zhao glanced at Zhao Yuanxiu. The 21-year-old Zhao Yuanxiu was half a head taller than Gu Zhao. Not to mention his tall stature, although he was not as miserable as his old man's beautiful face, at least he had a righteous and handsome face.

Um!That's right!This is the face of the emperor!

Gu Zhao laughed: "You talk so much!"

Zhao Yuanxiu looked indifferent: "Hey, didn't I just see you! I haven't seen you since I came back from Ganzhou. If I save the words, I'm not allowed to empty them all at once? Let me tell you, those who work in Ganzhou It's not something ordinary people can do. You might as well just throw it away and ignore me. Go out and have a look. Anyone who is a county magistrate outside will bring a few under his door. How can there be a bare county magistrate like me? Go out and have a look and I will chase him A donkey cart..."

Gu Zhao laughed: "Isn't all the officials in Ganzhou like this? You can't do it if you are partial? Others also ride donkeys to work! Slowly work hard, you can take a car when you become the governor, eh! Then you will be able to have a secretary Already!"

Zhao Yuanxiu stopped and looked around. For a long time, he clicked his mouth, his tone suddenly changed to be very floating, and he said as if he was stepping on a cloud: "Little daddy, your father said that, and you arranged me like this again! I... I’m really confused! You said, it’s been a thousand years! How did these people become officials? You...how did you know...that you can govern the people under your jurisdiction like that? It...it’s different from what the emperor said, It is also different from what Mr. Jinshan said."

Gu Zhao didn't answer this question, he just looked down from the middle of the mountain with Zhao Yuanxiu with his hands behind his back. From the bottom of the mountain, there is an endless unknown...

Villages with trees, shadows, craftsmen's fingernail-sized houses are next to each other, and farther away is the Qinglong River, the river is glowing with silver light and flowing freely... This river is called Changhe in Wukang, and Qinglong in Shangjing The river, it runs slowly all the way up and down to the sea...

Zhao Yuanxiu has been in the immigrant county for three years, and every year he has to go to work for a few months. He started as a village official, and now he is the county magistrate... In the end, he will accept the seven counties and work his way to the throne.

Now he has completely accepted the two political systems, and these two methods repeatedly collided with each other in Zhao Yuanxiu's head, which one is better?that bad?Zhao Yuanxiu was also very confused.

Gu Zhao looked at him for a while and asked, "Tired?"

Zhao Yuanxiu replied: "Well, a little bit, I want to rest for a few days in Xiaohuangzhuang here, and I want to take the children to play. You also said that father's love is different..." When he said this, he looked annoyed Complain: "It's too noisy at home!"

Gu Zhao snorted: "Yes! I'm calling you a fool."

Zhao Yuanxiu refused to accept: "You're wrong about me. Looking back at the history books, it's been a thousand years, how much do I have? Wangfei, madam, beauty, palace lady, do the math, how many are I?"

After Gu Zhao heard this, his eyes slanted, he looked at his crotch with disdain and said, "Be careful, it's useless if you're bald!"

Zhao Yuanxiu blushed and shouted in a low voice: "Oh! Look at you, how can you be an elder like you, and others only want the prosperity of your descendants. It's good to be here with you. I'm afraid I will be too many?"

Gu Zhao didn't want to argue with him, so he walked forward with his hands behind his back.

Zhao Yuanxiu stood on the spot, smiled and shook his head to follow.

In fact, he knew very well about the backyard. He was lonely since he was a child. At that time, he always wanted to have a big family and a yard of children to accompany him.

Of course, as the future emperor, he also knows very well that there must be a standard for some things. The standard is that he has three sons and two daughters now. From now on... just let nature take its course.

The two of you walked away in silence for a while, then Zhao Yuanxiu suddenly said: "Little Daddy, I'm afraid the Hu family in the palace is seriously ill. Father means... Those two should come out..."

Gu Zhao stopped slowly and looked at Zhao Yuanxiu. He was stunned for a while, blinked his eyes, and thought for a long time with a trace of hesitation before saying, "Mr. Hu? Who... oh, her..."
