Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"The Taizu is about to join the army, and when did he go to Mount Hua?"

"Just before going to Zhou Taizu's barracks."

"That's after leaving Wu'an."

"Yes" Defang said after taking a sip of tea, "After leaving Wu'an, Taizu headed all the way to the southwest. When he came to the foot of Mount Hua, Taizu looked up and was amazed."

"My lord, my concubine heard that Mount Hua is majestic and dangerous, and the mountain is steep and steep, with thousands of towering walls and beautiful peaks. I don't know if it is so?"

"That's true. Huashan is also called Xiyue, and many literati have written poems to praise it." Defang continued, "It is said that when Xia Yu controlled the water, he led the water of the Yellow River out of Longmen, but it was blocked by two mountains when it reached Zhangguan. One of them is Mount Hua. The two mountains are closely connected, and the water cannot flow through. When Xia Yu was in distress, a giant god came down to help, separated the two mountains with his bare hands, and split Huashan into one tall and one tall. The two lower mountains, the higher one is called Taihua Mountain, and the lower one is called Shaohua Mountain. Li Bai has a poem saying: "The giant spirit roared and split the two mountains, and the flood wave jetted into the East China Sea. It is Huashan. Huashan is also known as natural danger and strange danger. "

"Then Huashan must be very beautiful."

"Well, it must be, so I want to see it, hehehe"

"So, the concubine really wants to go right away."

"Well, after I have consulted His Majesty, we will set off."

"Then, my lord, let's talk about it later, what happened to Taizu after he arrived at Mount Hua?"

"When Taizu arrived at Mount Hua, on a whim, he walked along the mountain road to the top of the peak. Standing on the highest point, looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance, he couldn't help feeling happy. Taizu raised his eyebrow stick and shouted to the sky: Here will be My world!"

"Emperor Taizu's word came true." Concubine Di smiled, "It's not just Huashan that I got."

"Yes, but as soon as Taizu shouted, he heard a person say: This move is good, it is God's will to get here. As soon as Taizu turned his head, he saw two people a little far away When playing chess, Taizu was very strange, why didn't he see it when he came up just now, so he raised his eyebrow stick and approached the two, only then did he see clearly that it turned out that the players playing chess were an old Taoist and a poor man in clothes. The old man who is older than Baizi looks to be about six or seventy years old. He is dressed in a plain Taoist robe and cloud-toed cloth shoes. His beard has fallen to his knees, his eyebrows are like snow, and his temples are grizzled. The person holding Heizi seems to be thirty or forty years old , black eyebrows, two beards, wearing secular clothes, a square headscarf, Taizu looked at the old man with white beard, but he could not see the slightest sign of oldness, but his complexion was rosy, his eyes were bright, and he looked like a man. Feeling like a fairy, the two didn't look up, they were still playing chess, Taizu also looked at the chessboard closely, felt that the moves played by the two were very ordinary, and felt a bit boring, so he folded his arms and shook his head and sighed softly He breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time the old man holding the white pieces had already gained the upper hand, who would have thought that the old man missed a move at this time, and the situation was somewhat reversed, but it was not without remedies, but the old man with the white pieces didn't seem to care, and was still walking step by step Seeing this, Taizu was a little anxious, so he knelt down and watched the old man clear his throat, the old man turned his head to look at Taizu, and Taizu winked at him at the chessboard again, but the old man just smiled and ignored it, and finally Sure enough, he was defeated. Seeing this, Taizu couldn't stop shaking his head and said: How can you be so careless! You shouldn't! You shouldn't! The old man holding the white stone looked up at Taizu and said, "Young master, it seems that you are also a master of chess. ?Taizu often played chess with others and never lost. Hearing the old man's question, he cupped his hands and said, "Don't dare, I just know a little bit."
