Dream Gift Treasure

In the second year of Jianyan, Liu Guangshi abandoned Zhang Jun, the commander of the front army of the imperial camp, in Xiacai. The Jin army then surrounded Xiacai City and looked for Bagong.

Bagong Mountain is where the emperor's carriage is. Jun once said: "My love for money is like licking honey from the edge of a knife. I can't stop it even if it costs me my life.

Those who are greedy for money often cherish their lives, and everyone in Bagong Mountain said that Zhang Jun would definitely surrender.

One evening, Jun patrolled Xiacai to the northwest. Most of the scouts were alert and polite, but only one scout seemed to be half asleep, lazy and sluggish.

This sentry had a very bad appearance, a hateful face, and was dressed in tatters. He did not even greet Jun. Jun was furious and captured him.

He glared at him and shouted, "Why punish me without teaching me?" Jun said, "You were ordered to guard here, but you slept soundly and slacked off. What's wrong with punishing you?

The sentry laughed up to the sky, his voice like a huge bell, and said: "I was sound asleep, but the sentry was not slack." Then he sat on the ground and

Sit down, this soldier points to the sky and draws on the ground. From morning till dusk, the number of Jin soldiers' scouts, their equipment, and their purpose are clearly presented.

Jun sent his men to check and found no mistake. Jun was very surprised and held a banquet in the hall to apologize. The soldier did not refuse and spent a moment.

Jun's Self-Reflection Day:

"In the future, don't be impatient. How many talented people are there in the world? Don't employ those you doubt, and don't doubt those you employ."

That night, Jun was about to go to bed when suddenly a golden light shone in the hall. A general was wearing a golden crown on his head that looked like dragon horns and was wearing golden armor.

The armor resembles dragon scales, and it enters with its head held high. Looking closely, it is astonishing that it has died. The dead man said: "My surname is Zhang, my name is Yongzhen, and I am the river god of the Huai River.

I am here to help the emperor. I will give you a meal today, and I will give you something. I know you are greedy for money, so I will give you something.

The greatest treasure in the world will arrive in a moment." Jun bowed in panic and asked what treasure it was. The river god laughed and said, "You must remember these two words.

Remember a promise made with great enthusiasm, delivering the enemy's head across the snow at night; taking off clothes and sharing food, sharing salted duck at the same table.

After he finished speaking, the golden light faded. Jun suddenly woke up, it was just a dream. He vaguely saw someone standing in front of the bed, and he looked at him intently.

It turned out that it was the Emperor who came in person in the snow. Jun bowed to the ground, feeling extremely surprised. The Emperor helped Jun up and said words of encouragement and comfort.

He presented a food box to Yu Jun. When Jun opened the food box, he was amazed to see the head of Liu Guangshi and a saltwater duck with one leg missing.

Jiulongjing

In the first year of the Jingkang reign, on the 1st month of the lunar calendar, flying sand suddenly rose up, making it impossible to see day or night, and the sound of sand was like the cries of hundreds of ghosts at night.

The wind rises from the northeast, snow falls in the daytime, the sand and snow are mixed together, the sky is filled with dust, and the howling of the wind is like the wailing of thousands of beasts.

In the evening, thick fog filled the air, covering the sky and the sun, and thunder rumbled, like the scolding and punishment of the gods, day and night.

The rain continued without a break, summer became like autumn, and the four seasons were reversed. In winter, hail damaged crops, and it lasted for more than 20 days. The snow was a foot deep.

As for me, strong winds blew away roofs and broke wood, and there were countless other signs of the end of the world.

In the second year of the Jingkang reign, the two emperors went on a hunt in the north, and Emperor Shizu ascended the throne. At first, he was disheartened and ignorant of the will of heaven.

I dreamed of purple air falling into Mingdao Palace. I sent someone to visit him, but he said there was nothing unusual. - I had several dreams in a row, all of which were about this.

When I personally arrived, I saw that this palace was very different from the past. There was a burst of golden light, a pressing purple aura, a curl of divine smoke, and bursts of celestial music.

When I looked around, I found that the sun was nowhere to be seen, just like the previous day.

Emperor Taizu realized the truth and went to the palace secretly. Inside the palace, there was a Nine Dragon Well on the left side. There was a faint sound of thunder. Emperor Taizu caught it and put it into the well.

I couldn't find the way, but I walked ten more steps and suddenly the view opened up. There was sky, earth, mountains, and water. The well had become a world of its own.

An old man in robes appeared and shouted, "I am Sanqing, my Taoist name is Jizi, and I am the leader of the 360 ​​immortals.

Son, you are gradually losing your destiny!"

The old man said, "The destiny of heaven cannot be harmed by swords or axes, nor can ghosts or gods take away their souls.

Is it because he is carrying the thousand-year-old Chinese heritage. Ghosts and gods are all transformed by the heritage, how can they be harmed? What is the heritage?

Also? The inheritance is the people!

Our ancestors blazed a trail through the mountains and forests, and only then did we have a sliver of land.

If you encounter a barbarian tribe, the world will be in turmoil, and there will be heroes who leave their relatives and children and go to the front with a sense of humility.

If you are not afraid of mountains, you can calmly cross a sea of ​​fire. Therefore, those who are destined by heaven will have brave warriors to protect them.

There are thousands of wise men who enlightened the people, and people can remember them. It is difficult to remember thousands. There are thousands of brave men, and history books can record only a few.

You have a thousand aspirations! You have received the mandate of heaven, and you should know that you are carrying on the aspirations of the Chinese people! The pain inflicted by swords and axes on the people should be like the pain inflicted on you.

Pain; hunger and starvation are upon the stomachs of the people, just as they are upon your own stomach! You cannot gain the world without the mandate of heaven, but only by acting on behalf of the people.

You can obtain the mandate of heaven! If you go and fight the war on behalf of the people and help them avoid famine, then the mandate of heaven will be in your hands."

Emperor Taizu suddenly realized the truth, bowed three times and left, and then he was determined to establish Shaoxing, live up to the people and inherit the Chinese heritage.

Asking for good luck

In the second year of Jianyan, Emperor Shizu went to Nanyang, where the government was in order and the people were in harmony, and all things were revived.

The local troops wanted to defeat him, but the military had no good plan. Qin Hui was Wan Yanchang's staff, Zongbi valued Hui's talent, and when he went out, he was a horse.

The luxurious carriages of perfumed women were used to serve him, and when he entered the palace, he was provided with delicious food. Whenever there was an important matter, he would personally consult with him.

Hui was greedy for wealth and power, so he gave three plans to Chang and Zongbi, which helped him to invade the south. Before leaving, he told Zongbi: "The lord has been

Wu, but the southern culture has a thousand years of culture and profound heritage, so there must be something to hold on to. The master should open up the channels for communication, learn the local customs, and do not

"Zongbi responded, but he did not agree.

A few days ago, Zongbi invaded Nanyang, burned, killed, looted, and slaughtered the people. His attendants advised him, "Hui told us about this.
