Yuwen Wen wanted to go up the rope ladder to see the stone carvings, but was persuaded by his left and right sides. Yang Ji, who was also somewhat surprised, quickly asked someone to rub the stone carvings.

The Shanyu was the title of the Huns monarch, just like the current "Khan", and everyone soon thought of the title mentioned only in the stone carvings, which proved that this was a text left by the Han Dynasty.

This is Jibei, and there are no Buddha statues or statues. It is unlikely that anyone has nothing to do and what words are at this moment. So...

After a while, the military officers printed the stone carvings, and Yuwen Wen and others surrounded Tuwen and studied carefully.

This stone carving has been exposed to sun and rain, and its handwriting is a bit blurry, but the strokes can still be identified. One of the soldiers read:

"Only in the autumn of the first year of Yongyuan..., seven months, there was the uncle of Han Yuan... and the general of the chariot and cavalry... Dou Xian..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and the joining army was a little hesitant. Seeing the emperor staring at him, he quickly recited:

"Jinan Shanyu, Donghu... Wuhuan, Xirong, Diqiang, Houwang... The king and the king are the elders, the three brave cavalry... ten thousand..."

"Then he went over Zhuo... evil, cross... An... Hou, take Yanran..." The military officer thought about it, sweat beads oozing from his forehead, "The area of ​​the army fell, burned the old man... the dragon courtyard..."

He didn't continue to read it, but reported to Yuwen Wen with sweat on his head: "Your Majesty! This is... this is the "Yanran Mountain Inscription" by Ban Gu of the Later Han Dynasty!"

Fearing that the emperor would not believe it, he explained: "Your Majesty, "Yanran Mountain Inscription" is recorded in "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Dou Xian". The official has read it and is deeply impressed. Although the text of the spelling is blurred, overall, it is impossible to make a mistake."

"So, this is Ban Gu's "Yanran Mountain Inscription"! This is where Yanran is tied to the stone!"

"Ah? What...what?" Yu Wen Wen was a little confused. He looked at the army, a little confused. Yang Ji looked at Tuowen as if he was seeing a ghost, and looked up at the stone carving.

In the first year of Yongyuan in the Later Han Dynasty, Dou Xian, a foreign relative, led his army to attack the Xiongnu (Northern Xiongnu), including the Southern Xiongnu, the Donghu Wuhuan, and the Western Rong Di and Qiang.

According to historical records, after Dou Xian defeated the Northern Xiongnu, he recorded his merits on the southern foot of Yanran Mountain. He wrote an article by Ban Gu, the Central Guard Army who went on the expedition with the army, to promote the achievements of this war and the virtue of the court.

From then on, "Yanran Le Gong" (Le Shi Yanran) is an allusion to establish or achieve success.

So, shouldn’t the “Yanran Mountain Inscription” written by Ban Gu be located in Yanran Mountain, which is now Yudujin Mountain? Why is it here?

On this inconspicuous hill?

Yudujin Mountain is more than 400 miles away from here. It has nothing to do with the Yudujin Mountain Range. Are you mistaken?

Or was Shi Shu wrong?

Yang Ji was shocked, and Yuwen Wen was even more shocked. However, he was not shocked that he had encountered the original work of Yanran Leshi, but shocked that someone dared to flatter him so blatantly.

The treacherous minister didn't need to be arrested, and he jumped out!

Which bastard is making a set of "Yanran Mountain Inscription" here to please me?

Who is so bold and dares to lie to me? Are you tired of living?!

Yuwen Wen became more and more annoyed the more he thought about it. Just as he was about to have an attack, he saw Yang Ji was ecstatic: "Your Majesty! This is probably where Yan Ran tied the stone!"

After hearing the other party say this, Yuwen Wen's mind came up with the idea of ​​"I didn't expect you, Yang Ji, to be like this." Before he could get angry, he listened to Yang Ji's analysis.

According to historical records of Dou Xian's Northern Expedition route and the situation of fighting with the Northern Huns, Yang Ji believed that this place is now on the route of the Han army marching at that time, because the frontiers where Dou Xian led his army to attack were Gaoque Pass and Jilu Pass.

Gaoque Pass is located outside the Hetao area, at the gap in the Yinshan Mountains in Wuyuan area. After leaving the pass, the Han army marched northwest and crossed the Dazhi to enter the north of the Jibei area. This is one of the most commonly used channels for transportation between the Central Plains and the Jibei area (three routes).

Now, the area where the Imperial Lord is located is on this passage.

The decisive battle was at Ji Luoshan, but Dou Xian did not hold stones on the battlefield to record his merits, but chose to engrave the "Yanran Mountain Inscription" on the way back. What is the reason?

Is there no suitable place to engrave letters around the battlefield?

Yang Ji thought it was unlikely. He felt that after the decisive battle, Dou Xian led his army to "finalize". After the dust was settled and the task was completed, he would only remember the merits in Yanran Mountain.

Therefore, Yang Ji felt that there was a possibility: shouldn’t it be done by shaking stones and remembering merits next to the road where people came and went? Only in this way can pedestrians remember the inscriptions and the achievements told by the inscriptions.

Then, it is reasonable to record the merits of the Tushan Mountain beside the Enclave Road, so that the Central Plains troops entering the north of the river will see the stone carvings.

In addition, no one was bored and engraved the "Yanran Mountain Inscription" on a certain earthen mountain to make a falsification, so it was indeed Dou Xian who was on the Banshi Road and recorded his merits on the rock wall of the top of the earthen mountain next to the Enclave Road.

Perhaps, the Yanran Mountain mentioned at that time was not what everyone thinks of Yudujin Mountain now, but this mountain.

After all, after Dou Xian returned to the court, he was proud of his contributions and acted arrogantly as a relative of the foreign power. He was forced to commit suicide every few years. His confidants were implicated, and Ban Gu died unjustly.

The general of the Northern Expedition passed away, and the specific location of Yanran Mountain, which was remembered by Naleshi, might have been confused. After all, the records of the mountains at that time were limited to text and had no exact coordinates.

Yuwen Wen listened to the explanation, was skeptical, and insisted on climbing the rope ladder to think about the stone carvings.

I also used a magnifying glass.

After thinking about it for a long time, he confirmed that this thing was old and not newly carved. He got off the rope ladder, looked at Tuowen and looked at the excited civil and military officials, shocked.

This time I was really shocked: It was amazing! I actually encountered the authentic works of "Yanran Mountain Ming"!

Yuwen Wen was so excited that his breathing was a little rapid. Seeing this, Yang Ji and others thought something was wrong, so they couldn't help but be careful to be careful of the emperor's sudden stroke.

"Quick, print a few more paintings! Draw here immediately, there must be rock walls, hills, close-ups, and longitudes! By the way, determine the latitudes and longitudes immediately and determine the latitudes and longitudes!"

Yuwen Wen made some arrangements and looked at the rock wall in front of him, feeling happy.

Although he did not fight the decisive battle, and although he did not go to Yudujin Mountain, he saw the stone carvings of "Yanran Mountain Inscription"!

Seeing the young army standing next to him, Yuwen Wen asked, "What's your name? You have good knowledge."

The army replied: "Your Majesty, I am the official Nanyang Cen Wenben, I dare not say that he is good at learning."

"Cen Wenben?" Yuwen Wen thought of his name, looked at the young man, and smiled: "I remember you seem to be... from a Jinshi?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, the senior official is indeed a new Jinshi."

"You remember "Yanran Mountain Inscription", it's good, it's good."

He was praised by the emperor as "good", which was a great encouragement, but Cen Wenben was very calm. He followed the emperor's order and arranged for people to continue to rub the stone carvings.

Yuwen Wen looked at the stone carvings in front of him, looked at the hill, then the green grasslands around him, and then the geese flying south in the sky, feeling a lot of emotion.

"Old Yang..."

Yuwen Wen patted Yang Ji on the shoulder. Yang Ji was stunned by the strange name and looked at the emperor. The officials next to him just thought he didn't hear it.

"I..." Yuwen Wen pointed to the stone carving in front of him and said slowly, his voice with joy and vicissitudes: "I'm here, I see, I did it!"

His claim to be "I", but he used "Lao Yang", just like an ordinary person chatting with his old friends.

"Yes, Your Majesty did it." Yang Ji replied, his voice filled with joy, but the title was still the same. After all, he always knew the right amount.

"Hahaha..." Yuwen Wen patted Yang Ji's shoulder again and said with a smile: "You are not bad, Lao Yang, for more than 40 years, Haibo has been flat."

Yang Ji also laughed happily.

More than 40 years ago, two "abnormal people" met and worked hard towards their respective goals. Now, they finally achieved some success.

There are no more regrets in this life.

"There is no regrets in this life..." Yuwen Wen murmured, looking at the stone carving again, trying to imprint this scene in his mind.

"Do you know, I have an idea." Yuwen Wen pointed around with his hand, "This is one of the three roads. If the railway is connected in the future, we will set up a park here, which is charged. Let everyone see how domineering "Yanran Mountain Ming" is!"

TOLL?

Do you have to pay for the original work of "Yanran Mountain Inscription"?

Yang Ji was amused and crying by this strange idea. Seeing his confused look, Yuwen Wen shook his head with a smile: "You, you haven't made any progress in forty years!"

......

"How do you still have to buy tickets when looking at "Yanran Mountain Ming"?"

"Of course, you have to collect tickets. Park maintenance costs, labor, and facilities maintenance all have to be spent, and..."

“And what?”

"It's rare to be expensive. If it's free, no one cares about it, so there's nothing to be surprised about."

In the bustling city of Xiyang, on the sidewalk on the street, a man and a woman were walking side by side, chatting while walking.

The man looked seventeen or eighteen years old, with a good appearance, tall and strong figure, with short hair, very capable, and slightly dark skin, probably because of the excessive sunlight.

The woman was wearing a short dress and long skirt. She looked fourteen or five years old, tall, fair-skinned, and had the appearance of falling fish and falling geese.

Behind the two, one follower, maid, and two "shadows" keep a proper distance.

"I went to Yanran Mountain Park this time. Wow, there are so many people and it's very lively. After all, there is a railway and there is a railway station there, so many people will go to see "Yanran Mountain Ming". Anyway, the tickets are not expensive."

"Don't say, the park's income is good, at least it can bear the profit and loss without becoming a burden. This is good. If there is no charge, the place will not be so popular and cannot develop... Wait, wait, wait for the tram to pass..."

The bell sounded, and a tram with two carriages passed slowly through the intersection. The pantograph on the roof contacted the wires above. From time to time, electric sparks jumped, making a "crackling" sound, and the woman was a little scared of this.

The man took a step forward and blocked the woman slightly behind, but it was not blocking the way.

Such a move surprised the girl. Looking at the man's solid and broad back, I felt quite warm in my heart.

The tram passed, and the two continued to walk forward. The man continued to explain: "Xiyang is always different from other places. Just say that this tram is the first to be put into use in the country. If it is suitable, Chang'an, Luoyang, and Yecheng will also be promoted. Don't look at the scary electric spark, it is actually very safe..."

"If a tram goes on the track, it will not derail and rush out. It is very stable and there is no waste gas pollution. It is much less dynamic than coal-fired trains."

"If the population of the lower part is nearly doubled today than that year, let alone Chang'an, just Xiyang, the permanent population is nearly two million. If so many people travel and use small trains to public transportation, there will be no need for people in the city."

The two walked on the sidewalk and passed shops next to the road. The shop windows were filled with a variety of goods, which was dazzling.

Cars pass by from time to time on the main road. This four-wheeler driven by a gas internal combustion engine is like a box that burns the gas provided by a gas cylinder.

Such a car can walk nearly 200 miles on flat paved roads. It is suitable for traffic in the metropolis and is the latest practical means of transportation.

It is expensive. Apart from official cars, only large companies or wealthy families can afford it. Therefore, once a car appears on the street, it will always attract the attention of countless people.

But it couldn't attract that woman because she could ride a car every day as long as she wanted.

The precious jewelry and beautiful clothes displayed in the shops on the street also did not attract her attention, and her attention was all about the man around her.

The man dressed ordinary and had no special texture. He looked ordinary but could not stop a unique temperament.

He talked freely, pointed to the front, and said to the woman: "I am the most familiar with Xiyang City. There is a good place, right in front. I'll take you to see it. I'll use this thing later."

The man took out a copper coin, placed it on his right thumb, then picked it up and picked it in the air.
Chapter completed!
