Wu Guanzhong arranged for someone to accompany them, but after entering the Maoling Scenic Area, they were driven aside by Lu Qinglan.
With Chen Zihan and Lu Ruorong, two people who understand history, around, she felt that having another person accompany her would be a burden.
Chen Zihan and Lu Ruorong also didn't like being followed by others, so the man and woman who came with them had to wait obediently at a distance and didn't dare to leave.
During the tour, Chen Zihan saw a sentence on the introduction and asked Lu Qinglan with a smile: "Little sister, 'Everywhere the sun and moon shine, wherever the rivers flow, all are the subjects of the Han Dynasty.' Do you know what this sentence means?"
After reading it, Lu Qinglan curled his lips in disdain: "Isn't it just some stinky man who wants to take all the beauties in the world after becoming the emperor?"
"You're such a history novice!" Chen Zihan mercilessly disparaged Lu Qinglan, then added, "Then you must understand the meaning of this sentence: 'Everywhere the sun and moon shine, it is Han territory; wherever the rivers flow, they are all Han subjects!' Don't tell me you don't know what this means, either."
Chen Zihan actually likes Lu Qinglan looking angry in front of him, so he always can't help but want to tease her.
"What do you mean?" Lu Qinglan knew that he was being belittled by Chen Zihan again, and couldn't help feeling a little angry.
"Auntie, what this means is that Han's power is widespread throughout the world. Wherever the sun and moon shine, it is Han territory, and all the people in the world are Han. There's a similar saying: 'Han holds great prestige and authority, leading all nations. Wherever the sun and moon shine, all are its subjects.'" Lü Ruorong was afraid that Lü Qinglan would be upset by Chen Zihan, so she quickly tried to smooth things over: "She's relying on her knowledge of history to tease you. Don't take it personally!"
"Childish!" Lu Qinglan rolled her eyes at Chen Zihan, then impatiently urged, "If you want to show off what you know, then tell me these stories in detail, or I'll beat you up."
Lu Qinglan had never been interested in history, but after traveling with Chen Zihan and Lu Ruorong for a few days, he unknowingly became interested in history.
The places they visited during these two days were all connected to the most glorious era in Chinese history.
Listening to this proud history, a sense of pride arises naturally.
Lu Qinglan also didn't want Chen Zihan to think that she was ignorant in this area, so she wanted to learn more about history.
Seeing that Lu Qinglan was not angry, Chen Zihan stopped teasing her and gave her a brief explanation of some historical knowledge.
"During the reign of Emperor Xuan of Han, Liu Bingji, the Han army once again drove the Xiongnu north. After their victory, they erected the Dinghu Stele. The original text on it reads: 'Everywhere the sun and moon shine, wherever the rivers flow, all are subjects of the Han.' When the Eastern Han Dynasty was first established, Emperor Guangwu of Han, Liu Xiu, said this: 'The Han Dynasty holds great prestige and authority, commanding all nations. Everywhere the sun and moon shine, all are subjects.' The meaning is, just as Rong'er just said, that the entire world is Han territory, and everyone should be proud to be a Han citizen. Haha, do you understand? That's a statement to promote the Han's power. Little girl, learn more history to avoid being laughed at, haha!"
As Chen Zihan spoke, he reached out and pinched Lu Qinglan's face.
Before Lü Qinglan could react, she pinched Lü Ruorong's face and said with a smile, "Aunt, thank goodness Rong'er and I understand history. Otherwise, you'd come here just to see two graves and not feel anything. How boring! How about this? Treat us to a big dinner tonight and thank us!"
"Thank you, you big-headed ghost!" Lu Qinglan raised her leg and kicked Chen Zihan. "If you touch me again, I'll chop off your claws! You're still a little girl, do you think you're a greasy uncle?"
Chen Zihan quickly hid behind Lu Ruorong, then put his arms around her waist and rested his head on her shoulder: "If my aunt wants to kill me, Rong'er, you have to save me!"
"Get out of the way!" Lu Ruorong immediately shook off Chen Zihan's hand, glared at him unhappily, and went to hold Lu Qinglan's arm.
Although Chen Zi Han and Lu Qinglan played tricks on each other from time to time, overall they had a lot of fun.
After visiting Maoling, the next day Chen Zihan drove the two women to Jiuyi Mountain, where Li Shimin's Zhaoling Mausoleum is located.
The scenery of Jiuyi Mountain is much better than that of the Maoling area and Liangshan where Qianling is located.
Mount Jiuyi is home to the tombs of Princess Changle and Li Shimin's concubine Xu Hui.
The stories of these two extraordinary women deeply attracted Lu Qinglan.
After listening to Chen Zihan and Lu Ruorong tell their stories, Lu Qinglan seemed to be touched and stood on Jiuyi Mountain in a daze for a long time.
The Jiuyi Mountain area is indeed poorly managed.
The tombs at the foot of Jiuyi Mountain all belong to famous figures of the time, and many valuable items were buried with them.
Throughout history, tomb robbers often visited this place, and almost every tomb was visited by them.
Agricultural development has also turned the original royal cemetery into a plantation, and countless national-level cultural relics protection units are now scattered alone in the farmland, with nothing but a cultural relic protection stele.
Walking through it, you can really see scattered fragments of cultural relics.
"If this place could really be returned to farmland and turned into the world's largest imperial mausoleum, it would really attract tourists." Standing on the top of Jiuyi Mountain, taking in the surrounding scenery, Lu Qinglan couldn't help but sigh, "Perhaps Chang'an has too many tourism resources, so there's no energy to develop these famous attractions far away from the city."
Lu Ruorong asked in surprise: "Are you moved?"
Lu Qinglan shook his head: "If I invest in development, the end result will be that I will lose all my wealth but gain nothing."
"I think so too!" Chen Zihan nodded. "If you really want to participate in the development, you can only buy some shares, but not become the main investor."
"There's no rush for these things, take your time!" Lu Qinglan nodded.
On the way back to the city from Zhaoling, Lu Ruorong fell asleep due to exhaustion.
After squinting for a while, Lu Qinglan opened her eyes. Seeing that Lu Ruorong beside her had fallen asleep, she took the initiative to talk to Chen Zihan.
"It feels good to go out with you." Lu Qinglan whispered, "Next time we go somewhere, I want to go with you!"
"Have you become addicted to being a third wheel?" Chen Zi Han looked surprised.
Lu Qinglan reached out and pinched Chen Zihan's face, then threatened fiercely: "If you dare to say that again, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"
Chen Zi Han didn't dare to joke anymore and could only agree to Lu Qinglan's request.
Lu Qinglan told Chen Zihan that she would stay in Chang'an for another day to take care of some things, and let Chen Zihan and Lu Ruorong return to Qiantang by themselves.
Before the end of this month, she would definitely come to Qiantang, tell Chen Zihan some of the things she had considered, and make him be responsible for telling the truth.
"Aunt, I have no way to repay you for your trust in me." Chen Zi Han sighed.
Lu Qinglan was silent for a while, then said softly: "Just don't let me down!"
