Chapter 90 Pick up a conversation
Qianling is only more than 80 kilometers away from Fengyuan, and of course not far from Pingchuan. Although it is impossible to take the expressway throughout the journey, Fang Mingyuan and Li Xintong, who have high-quality off-road vehicles, did not take much time to arrive.
After buying tickets at the ticket office, Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but curse the local tourism department in his heart that he was too dark! He came to Qianling in his previous life. To be honest, although it is spectacular and famous, in fact, most of the ground buildings have been damaged under the combined effect of time and many wars, and there are very few things that can be left behind. According to historical records, Qianling Mausoleum is
It was built in imitation of the pattern of Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and it was also divided into imperial city, palace city and outer city. Its north-south main axis is nearly five kilometers long. According to literature, the Qianling Mausoleum is "eighty miles around" and has two walls. The inner city is equipped with four gates, namely Qinglongmen in the east, Zhuquemen in the south, Baihumen in the west, and Xuanwumen in the north. In the city, there are many brilliant buildings such as Xian Hall, side houses, corridors, Que Tower, and Di Renjie, ancestral halls and lower palaces.
For tourists with neat legs, unless they want to climb a mountain, it will be more than an hour in Qianling.
There are no good tourist attractions around Qianling Mausoleum, and those excavated burial tombs, to be honest, for archaeologists, it is an eternal treasure for studying the culture of the Tang Dynasty, but for tourists, there is really nothing good to see. ∫long ∫∫∫∫text∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫∫
The local tourism department did not think about how to develop local tourism resources and tried hard to keep tourists, but adopted the most clumsy approach, which was to tie the tickets of Qianling Mausoleum with those of the burial tombs. In other words, whether you go to see those burial tombs or not, you must pay for them! But if those tourists feel that it is a pity to pay the tickets, they will only feel even more regretful after seeing them!
It is precisely because of the local tourism department that drinking poison to quench thirst, that most tourists will never come to Qianling for a second time, and often there will be negative publicity. If it weren't for Wu Zetian, she was so famous in history, even if the Chinese with a little education did not know her great achievements from history books, she would have learned about her reputation from many storytellings and TV series. She would come to Fengyuan and not see the only female emperor in the 5,000-year history of China. She had the intention of not going to the Forbidden City and the Great Wall to go to the capital, so many tourists could have always come to Qianling.
After returning from the ticket office, Fang Mingyuan saw that there were many more people around Li Xintong. It seemed that there were locals and some tourists, but no one came forward to chat with him. Li Xintong was also a person who had been in a high position for a long time. The aura brought out by her words and deeds, and the three luxury off-road vehicles that looked like they were not ordinary vehicles, which were enough to make ordinary people look up to them.
"Let's go!" Fang Mingyuan shook the ticket in his hand, Li Xintong reached out to hold his arm, and the two walked towards Qianling. As for the accompanying staff, Fang Mingyuan and Li Xintong naturally had to accompany them when they went out, and they would not follow them very closely.
Walking through the wide Shinto and looking at the tall stone statues on both sides of the Shinto. Looking at the peak at the end of Shinto, Li Xintong couldn't help but open her eyes and said, "Mingyuan, is that mountain the Qianling Mausoleum?" Before coming, Fang Mingyuan once told her that the tomb of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had created the "being of the mountain for the tomb" since Emperor Taizong of Tang, but when she saw it with her own eyes, she still felt very shocked! Take out the tomb from the towering mountain. Such a big move, not to mention that almost nearly 1,500 years ago, even a hundred or two years ago, no one could do it. The Tang Dynasty is worthy of being a powerful dynasty in Chinese history, and Wu Zetian is worthy of being the only empress in the ages! You must know that until today, in this land in East Asia, women still have no precedent for being the head of state among the countries of China, Japan, South Korea and North Korea.
"That mountain is called Liangshan. Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty and his empress, Wu Zetian, also the Emperor of Wu Zhou, were buried together in the belly of the mountain." Fang Mingyuan looked at the lush mountain and said, "This is the only Tang Dynasty imperial tomb that can be confirmed to have not been visited by tomb robbers."
The two followed the Shinto and continued to stop and admire the stone statues on both sides. When they came to the "Shu Sheng Ji Monument" and "Written No Words" in Qianling, the sun was already slightly tilted to the west.
"The one here is the 'Shusheng Monument', which is a stele erected by Wu Zetian for the deceased Emperor Gaozong of Tang. The inscription with more than 5,000 characters was written by Wu Zetian himself. Don't look at it so dilapidated now. At that time, it was a black lacquer monument with gold powder, which was naturally radiant. On the other side is Wu Zetian's wordless monument. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, all emperors and generals of all dynasties have hoped that they can erect monuments and biography after their death. However, in the 5,000-year history of China, the only female emperor's stone monument has not been engraved with a single word." Fang Mingdao far away.
"Why? Why didn't Wu Zetian engrave the words after erecting the monument?" Li Xintong frowned.
"There are so many statements. Some people say that it was because Emperor Zhongzong of Tang at that time didn't know how to call Wu Zetian on the inscription and called him the queen of his mother. Wu Zetian had indeed been emperor for many years, and his throne was also obtained from Wu Zetian. He called him the late emperor. It was really unreasonable. The ministers at that time were difficult to agree, so they simply did not write it, so they simply did not write it to save trouble. Some people think that this was something Wu Zetian deliberately left behind because she thought that her great achievements could not be expressed in words. Some people say that it was because Wu Zetian thought that his life's right and wrong will be left to future generations to comment on!" A young man next to him said. Fang Ming looked at him from a distance. This man looked around twenty-seven or eight years old. Judging from his clothes, he should have been from a wealthy family. From more than ten minutes ago, when he was still in the Shinto, he and two other men and one woman followed him and Li Xintong.
"Hello, my name is Ming Shicheng, I am from Wulao City, Jinxi Province. I don't know the names of the two?" The young man took the initiative to extend his hand and smiled.
"Hello, Mr. Ming, I'm a friend's surname is Li, we are from Fengyuan." Fang Mingyuan reached out and shook him.
"Are you locals?" Ming Shicheng turned his head and said, "They are my friends. We are all from Jinxi Province and travel to Fengyuan." Fang Mingyuan only reported his surname but not registered, which made him feel a little unhappy.
"I am a local, my friend... is Korean." Fang Mingyuan said lightly. Since just now, this young man named Ming Shicheng has looked at Li Xintong from time to time.
Ming Shicheng's face changed slightly and he said in surprise: "Ms. Li is Korean. She speaks Chinese so well, we didn't hear it."
Li Xintong chuckled and said, "Thank you Mr. Ming for your praise."
"Ms. Li is traveling in China or studying here?" Ming Shicheng asked with his eyes fixed on Li Xintong's pretty face. When he saw Li Xintong on the Shinto, he was fascinated by it and followed him along the way. It was not until this time that he found the opportunity to chat with him. However, how could this very pretty look Korean beauty? No matter how much he is, he even believes that some small things in China may become a big trouble if he gets involved with foreigners.
"I'm working here." Li Xintong smiled and said, "Mr. Ming, please watch slowly, we're going to continue walking in." Li Xintong was also a clever mind. She had long seen Ming Shicheng's thoughts clearly. It was just that it was difficult to refuse directly due to etiquette.
"Everyone is here to have fun, why not take care of each other with a companion? "Ming Shicheng said in a daze.
"No, we like to be free and easy when we come out." Fang Mingyuan refused, "I wish you all a good time."
Looking at Fang Mingyuan and the others' backs, especially Li Xintong's graceful figure, Ming Shicheng's face immediately fell. At this time, the two men and one woman who were walking with him leaned over. Ming Shicheng's eyes fell on the woman, which was nothing different. He was shocked. His girlfriend is Ye Yiyan, the daughter of Ye Junsong, the largest private enterprise in Wu Lao City. She is also a famous beauty in Wu Lao City, but compared with Li Xintong, she is like a village girl in the countryside. Li Xintong not only crushed her in appearance, but also had a huge difference in temperament.
"Shicheng? Why did they leave?" Ye Yiyan asked carefully. Although her father is the major shareholder of the largest private enterprise in Wulao City and has a wealthy fortune, Ming Shicheng's uncle is the director of the police station of Wulao City, and his father is the executive vice mayor of Zhongchang City, a neighboring city in Wulao City. It is said that he may be promoted to the mayor of Zhongchang City in the past two years! The influence of the Ming family in southern Shanxi is quite amazing. Compared with the Ming family, which has a prosperous population and many officials, the Ye family is just a rich nouveau riche in recent years. The father also hopes that he can marry Ming Shicheng to further consolidate the Ye family's status in Wulao City. Therefore, even though he knows that Ming Shicheng is not ignorant, he is lustful. Even though he knows that he has just come forward to chat with Fang Mingyuan and the others, he has a crush on that beauty, and she can only treat it as if she has not seen it.
"I'll leave after leaving, what else is there?" Ming Shicheng said unhappily. He also knew that this was Qinxi Province, not Jinxi Province, nor Wulao City and Zhongchang City. Li Xintong was a Korean, so she was not a place where he could come with his temperament. Ye Yiyan shrank her head and did not dare to speak anymore.
"It's such a boring place!" Ming Shicheng turned around and walked back without going on a walk. (To be continued...)
