Eight hundred and forty-fourth chapter: a person of shame(1/2)
Continue to move forward, Huo Qubing and Wei Qing's tomb came into view.
Huo Qubing's Tomb is in the east, and Wei Qing's Tomb is in the west.
The Gemini stars of the Han Empire were buried in these green mountains and clear waters.
Huoling is like the Qilian Mountains, several feet high, like a real mountain tomb.
There are countless stone sculptures and floating carvings on both sides of the shrine in front of the tomb. The most famous one is the statue of the horse stepping on the Huns, which was famous even in later generations.
Unfortunately, Zhang Yue had no chance to see him with his own eyes, so he could only look out of the distance outside the mausoleum area and bow his head to pay tribute.
Wei Qingling is in the west, and the tomb is like Mount Lu, about two feet taller than Huoling. The pines and cypresses are like onions, and the incense is burning.
On both sides of the shrine in front of the tomb, countless stone sculptures, reliefs, depicting and praising the achievements of this great Han general and Changping Liehou during his lifetime.
only……
Wei Qing may never have imagined that two thousand years later, just because of economic reasons, the treatment of Huo Ling was very different.
Huo Qubingling is in the museum. Because it has preserved a large number of Western Han statues in its entirety, and because of the famous horse-strawn Hun stone sculptures, it can provide a large amount of income-generating for the museum, it is properly preserved and cared for.
However, Wei Qingling, separated by a wall, was destroyed by war and time attacks.
In the eyes of the museum, it has become a "small rib".
So he let the wind blow the sun and even be desecrated by ignorant tourists.
In the tombs of Wei Qingling, countless garbage and plastics can even be seen, as well as tourists who do not know history, urinate in front of the tombs.
Despite the volunteers who worship Wei Qing, volunteer teams were organized to carry out maintenance and cleaning.
However, the tomb of the Longcheng Flying General who once defended the country and protected the people still suffered various humiliation and blasphemy. The volunteer team was exhausted and had no time to take care of it.
I don’t know if Wei Qing knows what he knows in the underworld, should he cry or laugh?
"When I return victoriously, I will pay homage to the two generals and gods..." Zhang Yue looked at the two generals who still remained green and green, and made a promise in his heart.
Dong Yue and others also bowed to show respect when passing through Huo Qubingling and Wei Qinglingling.
After walking through Huo and Weiling Tombs, we walked about hundreds of steps south.
Another tomb appeared in front of you.
The tomb is more than three meters high. According to the Han Dynasty system, it is covered with huge rocks. Pines and cypresses are planted in it, which looks lush from afar.
Dong Yue looked at it and immediately became excited.
Ying Gong and Chu Da were even more in tears.
"grown ups……"
"teacher……"
"Unfilial descendants (disciples), I will pay homage to the gods of the lord (teacher)..."
Other Confucian scholars who accompanied him bowed their heads and mourned themselves.
Zhang Yue also bowed and paid tribute with respect.
Dong Zhongshu is a true great scholar!
It can even be regarded as one of the rare true scholars of the Han Dynasty!
Throughout his life, he was indifferent to fame and fortune and was obsessed with education. In his hands, the Gongyang School and Gongyang thought reached its peak.
If the theory of prophecies and taboos and disasters is abandoned, then the ideas and academics they advocate and advocate will be mostly healthy, positive and upward.
And most of them are beneficial to the country and the people.
Under its leadership, fairness and justice were engraved into the bone marrow of Gongyang's thought and became the core concept.
In the eyes of Gongyang scholars, if the people encounter injustice and the state and the judiciary cannot safeguard their interests, then the people have the right to take up weapons and seek justice on their own.
Tooth for tooth, and blood for blood, became the mainstream voice in the Han Dynasty society.
Therefore, there were so many heroes and heroes between the Han Dynasty.
This is really a world of difference from the corrupt scholars of later generations and cannot be compared with each other!
Zhang Yue naturally respected such a great scholar from the bottom of his heart.
"Mr. Dong..." Zhang Yue said in his heart: "Decades ago, you used the three strategies of heaven and man to implement the law of unification, and wanted to use the response of heaven and man to check and balance the power of the monarch, and attempted to put the imperial power in a cage..."
"I have to tell you that your plan will inevitably fail!"
"History has proved that the illusory sky cannot contain the imperial power!"
Even the cowardly imperial power is not afraid of the so-called changes in heaven or disasters.
When a disaster occurs, you will be settled with a symbolic edict of guilt.
Other dynasties even regarded the celestial beings as paper for wiping their butts. They used it if it was useful, and threw it aside if it was useless.
"I am not talented, and I am willing to weave a solid cage for the imperial power!"
"The book says: The world is poor and the heavenly fortune will last forever!"
"The economy and people's living standards are considered more reliable than the response of heaven and man!"
Thinking of this in mind, Zhang Yue followed Dong Yue and others and entered Dong Ling from the bluestone path in front of the mausoleum.
The Han people value serving death as if they were alive.
The souls of our ancestors are in the nine fountains and must be like the sun.
Therefore, the stone statues and sculptures on both sides of Dongling's Shendao are mainly literati who read books and scholars who keep simple.
At the end of the Shinto, there is a stone tablet.
The book in it says: The tomb of Dong Zi Zhongshu, the former king of Jiangdu, the former king of Jiaoxi.
The servants who accompanied him displayed the sacrifices of three animals in front of the tomb.
Dong Yue, Chu Da and Ying Gong each stepped forward and knelt in front of the stone tablet. Someone spread out the already written sacrificial text and recited it in a deep voice: "Only the first month of the second year of Han Yanhe, Gengshen, the year is Gengyin..."
………………………………
At the same time, on the distant desert grassland.
Once you ride eastward, you will put a flag on your back.
Wherever they passed, countless tribes and tribes avoided the road, looking at the cavalry representing the messenger of the Han Dynasty with fear.
"Why are we so afraid of these mere Han cavalry?" A young man from a tribe, ignoring the sky and earth, asked the chief of the tribe.
"Who dares not be afraid of the divine power of the Han Dynasty?" the chief replied: "And, the Han people have great kindness to me, Wu Heng!"
"If it weren't for the Han Dynasty, you might even have a luxury to survive!"
Twenty years ago, Wuheng was just a small tribe who fished and hunted between the white mountains and black waters.
The population is only tens of thousands.
The tribes all rely on fishing and hunting to fill their stomachs.
As autumn and winter come, the whole tribe will go hungry.
We also have to endure the exploitation and suppression of the Huns, and offer precious livestock every year in exchange for the compassion of the Huns.
Even so, the Wuheng people were often bullied and tortured by the nobles of the Huns.
Many people couldn't stand it and fled into the Wushu Mountains, accompanying the mountains and rivers, and being neighbors with tigers.
Until that day, the Han cavalry came from the east.
The young general riding on the war horse shone his majesty and sacred into the hearts of every Wuheng person, making Wuheng person tremble and crawl in front of his horse's hooves.
Then, he brought fairness and benevolence to the Wuheng people.
It also brought the Wuheng people from the cold and bitter Wuwan Mountain to this warm desert.
This fertile pasture and paradise was given to the Wuheng people.
Since then, Wu Hengren has become his lackey, hawk.
He died in the Gobi desert after being saddled.
Thinking of this, the chief was grateful and said with some fear: "The Han Dynasty is a country like a god. He is rich and powerful, as great as the sun and moon in the sky. The Han people are even stronger than the goshawks and white wolves..."
"Ten Wuheng warriors can't beat a Han Dynasty soldier..."
"We are able to live here entirely due to the kindness and generosity of the Han Dynasty people. You are young and don't know these, but you must remember that you must not offend the Han Dynasty people!"
The young people listened but didn't care.
Some people even sneered from the corner of their mouths and said in their hearts: "Brother (Wu Hengren calls the leader the elder brother) is old, I'm afraid he's old and confused!"
"What are the people of the Han Dynasty who are afraid of?"
"When I was grazing, I met the cavalry of the Han Dynasty and had contacted them..."
"Compared with the Wuheng Warriors, these so-called heavenly soldiers are just fine weapons and taller..."
"But when it comes to bravery, these Han people are not as good as my Wuheng Warrior!"
To be continued...
