A knife in love

Chapter 2900
While talking, Ding Guan pointed to the top of the gate.Li Qiufeng and others turned their heads and saw a plaque hanging under the eaves of the gate, on which was written "Tianhou Temple" in four large golden characters.Although Li Qiufeng didn't know how to appreciate the quality of calligraphy, but he saw that the four golden characters were quite round, and he felt close to him at a glance.He thought to himself, when I was on duty in the palace, I saw calligraphy and paintings hanging in many palaces, and it is said that each calligraphy is the same as that of a famous master.Ding Guan said that this plaque is weird. Could it be that the four words Tianhou Palace and Temple were written by celebrities, so they are extremely precious?
When Li Qiufeng was thinking, he only heard Ding Guan say with a smile: "Uncle Li, Mr. Zhou, Miss Mu, I think you have seen a lot of plaques in government yamen, rich families, and even Taoist temples and temples. But have you ever seen them?" Have you ever wondered why the text on some plaques is written horizontally, while others are written vertically?"

As soon as Ding Guan's words came out, Li Qiufeng and the other three were startled, thinking to himself that Ding Guan was right, some of the words on the plaque were indeed written horizontally, and some were written vertically, but he never thought about it. the reason.The plaque on the gate of the Temple of the Queen of Heaven in front of me has four big characters of Tianhou Palace written vertically. Could it be that there is something weird about these four big characters?
Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan thought about it, but they didn't speak.Zhou Xian couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "There is also a plaque hanging on the gate of the Tianhou Palace in our Dengzhou City, but the words on it are written horizontally, which is different from this Tianhou Palace. Could it be that this big temple Is the weirdness of the book on this plaque?"

Ding Guan smiled slightly, and said: "Master Zhou is right. We have been talking about plaques, but in fact, plaques and foreheads are different. The horizontal writing is the plaque, and the vertical writing is the forehead. In particular, there is a saying called Making horizontal plaques and vertical plaques means that the plaques are completely different from the plaques. It’s just that most people in the world don’t know the difference. Anyone can write the words on the plaque, but the words on the forehead can only be written by the emperor. If any guy does not know this rule, acts indiscriminately, makes the forehead plaque without authorization, and inscribes on the forehead plaque, it is a capital crime. There is a danger of ransacking the family and exterminating the family.”

As soon as Ding Guan's words came out, Li Qiufeng and others were all shocked.Zhou Xian opened his mouth wide, and said in a trembling voice, "How is this possible? I have never heard of this rule."

Ding Guan sighed, and said in his mouth: "Before the Southern Song Dynasty, this rule was known all over the world. It's just that the Jin soldiers marched southward, destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, and occupied most of the Central Plains. The Jin people are barbarians. The etiquette rules passed down were annihilated, and gradually no one knew about the division of plaques. Later, the Kingdom of Jin was destroyed by the Tartars, and the Southern Song Dynasty was also broken by the Tartars. Emperor Taizu drove out the Tartars, restored the Central Plains, saved the people from the fire and water, and gradually restored many etiquette and education."

When Ding Guan said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "It is said that the Tianhou Temple in Dong'an City was built more than 200 years ago. At that time, the outside of the pass was occupied by the Liao Kingdom. Written by hand, it is naturally a forehead rather than a plaque. It is said that the emperor of the Liao Kingdom wrote the imperial edict to build the Temple of the Queen of Heaven', but one night the temple gate was struck by lightning and the forehead plaque was shattered. The government spent a lot of money and hired skilled craftsmen to spend a lot of time. Finally, the plaque was repaired. However, the word Chijian could not be recovered anymore, so there were only four gold characters of "Tianhou Palace Temple" left on the forehead plaque. Because the emperor presided over the construction of the temple, this Temple of Heaven was built like this Magnificent, in terms of scale, it far surpasses the Tianhou Temple in other places."

When Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan heard what Ding Guan said, they couldn't help but glance at each other, their hearts were clear, and they knew that what Ding Guan said was true or false, but it could solve many mysteries.The emperor of the Liao Kingdom mentioned by Ding Guan was probably Yelubei.Yelubei's throne was taken away by his mother and younger brother, and he was sent outside the pass to be the king of Dongdan. He was not angry and always wanted to regain the throne.He was the king of Dongdan outside the pass, and he was no different from being an emperor.However, Dong'an City was under the jurisdiction of the Dongdan Kingdom, and Yelubei ordered the construction of the Tianhou Temple here. In order to win a sigh of relief, he must spend a huge amount of money to build this Tianhou Palace magnificently and unrivaled in the world.Later, Yelubei was forced to flee to the Central Plains and died at the hands of Li Congke.After his son Yeluruan became the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, he buried Yelubei at the foot of Laoweng Mountain in Dongliao County. He set up organs in the tomb passage and carved many murals.If you want to come to the murals, there is this Tianhou Temple.Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu were bewildered by the poisonous mist of enchanting grass in the tomb passage. When they entered the General's Mansion in a dream, they actually saw this Tianhou Palace Temple, so they saw the Tianhou Palace Temple in Dong'an City. After that, Murong Danyan would be frightened like this.

After trying to understand the joints, Murong Danyan's hanging heart finally returned to his stomach, thinking to himself that ever since I escaped from the bottomless abyss, I have always been uneasy, thinking that there are really ghosts and gods in the world, and today I saw After listening to Ding Guan's story about the origin of this temple, I realized that the theory of ghosts and gods is really vague and cannot be taken as true.

Seeing Murong Danyan smiling, Li Qiufeng was no longer as frightened as before, he also heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that although Ding Guan has extraordinary experience, he is only a businessman after all, and he only knows a lot about things.Yelubei's identity is shrouded in mist, and very few people know what happened in his life.If it weren't for a coincidence, Miss Murong and I would know nothing about this person.In any case, after this incident, Miss Murong doesn't have to worry about any ghosts in the world, and she won't worry about ghosts chasing after her ghosts in the future, which is a great thing for her.

The four of them chatted in front of the gate of Tianhou Temple, and after another half a stick of incense, they walked south of the city.When the four of them reached the south gate, more than a dozen soldiers came forward to greet Zhou Xian, bowing their hands together to salute Zhou Xian.Seeing this situation, Li Qiufeng knew that these sergeants were Zhou Xian's subordinates, and thought to himself that Zhou Xian had a rough appearance and seemed to have no intentions, but in fact he was extremely cautious in doing things.After he entered the city, he was afraid of conflicting with the defenders in the city, so he left these soldiers near the city gate and went to Yu's old shop by himself, which was a very mature and prudent move.This person is thoughtful and thoughtful, and he is definitely not reckless. Yang Zhenzhong and the commander of Dengzhou Wei sent this person to escort the three large ships to Dong'an City, which is really the best choice.

At this time, the leaders of the officers and soldiers guarding the southern city also ran down from the city, they didn't bother to greet Ding Guan, and were very respectful to Zhou Xian.Zhou Xian greeted him a few words, and then he, Li Qiufeng and others left the south gate and walked straight to the pier.About half an hour later, the four arrived at the pier.I saw dozens of sergeants standing on the pier, all holding knives and guns, and the guards were heavily guarded.There are three more large ships on the right side of the pier, and there are sergeant guards on the bow.Seeing this situation, Li Qiufeng admired Zhou Xian even more, and thought to himself that this man is very orderly, and he is indeed a good general.After I return to the Central Plains from Fusang, I must recommend this person to Brother Qi.
