The sound of horse hooves came very quickly. At first, only the sound of horse hooves could be heard. After a while, I could hear the shouts of people driving away the horses. The three of them heard strangely and turned their heads to look out of the pavilion. They saw a carriage stopping outside the pavilion.

The carriage looks like an ordinary carriage from the outside, and it can be seen everywhere in Jinling City. However, the two carriages were pulled by two horses, with carriages embroidered with gold or silver dragon embroidered belts, which is rare nowadays. Since Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, in the first year of Hongwu, no carriages can be carved with dragon and phoenix texts (patterned). The first to third ranks of officials: gold ornaments with silver dragon embroidered belts, green man, fourth and fifth ranks: simple lion head embroidered belts, green man; sixth to ninth ranks, use Suyun head green belts, green man. The same carriage is made of sedan." There are strict regulations on the number of people used to carry sedans. Different officials have different horses. The more horses the higher the official title; two

The decoration of the bus reflects the level differences. First, the sides of the carriage are used to cover dust. For those with an official rank of more than 600 stones to 1,000 stones, the left car can be painted red, and for those with an official rank of more than 2,000 stones, both cars can be painted red; for those with an ounce of more than 2,000 stones, the carriage cover is only allowed to be covered with blue cloth, for officials to be covered with white cloth, for officials to be covered with more than 300 stones, and for those with more than 1,000 stones, they can be covered with soap cloth. Therefore, the cloak and the crown and uniform are collectively called "Crown Cover", which has become a synonym for officials. Although this carriage is ordinary, the horses and carriages are not something that ordinary officials can sit on. The three of them are secretly wondering who is sitting on the carriage?

The carriage had just stopped, and the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted and a person walked out. The man had a thin face, his long beard was neatly combed, and he was wearing a gray Confucian uniform. His eyes were bright and bright. He was no one else, but Li Shanchang, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.

"Brother Bowen, why didn't you say anything when you return home in glory? If I hadn't sent someone to inquire, I wouldn't have known that you would have left today?" Li Shanchang, who got out of the car, walked towards Changting and shouted. Although he was old, he was confident and these shouts were very loud.

Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang were just disagreements in politics and had no deep hatred. At this moment, they were about to part, but they saw him coming to see him off. Looking back on the scenes of the past, the personal grudges disappeared and hurriedly bowed to meet them.

Xiao Yun could not say that he was good at Li Shanchang or bad at all. When he saw him walking in, he hurriedly bowed and Song Lian bowed and bowed.

Li Shanchang waved his hand and said, "I came here today to give it to Brother Bowen, not in the temple. You don't have to give such a big gift!"

The four of them sat down again, and after a few simple words, Li Shanchang looked at Liu Bowen intentionally or unintentionally, as if he wanted to say something. Due to Xiao Yun and Song Lian were by his side, he couldn't speak. He glanced at the sky. Seeing that it was still early, he smiled at Liu Bowen and said, "Brother Bowen must have not visited Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang yet? This Jinshan Temple is very famous. I'm leaving today. I don't know when I will come to Jinling again. It's still early now, and this Jinshan Temple is not far away. I wonder if Brother Bowen has the interest to accompany me to visit?"

Xiao Yun and Song Lian had already seen that Li Shanchang had something to say when he came here, so he said tactfully: "Brother Liu, I suddenly want to hear the story of Snake Bai. Brother Song is knowledgeable. It is rare to have this opportunity today. Brother Song and I will not accompany you to visit Jinshan Temple! Listen to the story here and wait for you to come back?"

Li Shanchang nodded secretly, bowed to Liu Bowen, and said, "Please!"

Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang actually had something to say, but when they saw it was still early, they refused. The two got on the carriage and rushed directly to Jinshan.

Jinshan Temple was originally named Zexin Temple, also known as Longyou Temple. Although its name is varied, people have commonly known it as Jinshan Temple since the Tang Dynasty. The temple is located in the northwest of Zhenjiang City, and is located in such a beautiful and comfortable atmosphere, which is quite famous.

Jinshan Temple breaks the layout of the temple facing north and south, and is divided into three routes. It follows the mountain. The gate opens westward and is facing the river. Various buildings are scattered on it, with a unique style. Zhang Hu of the Tang Dynasty described it as "the shadows of trees flow in the stream, and the sound of bells is heard on both sides"; Shen Kuo of the Northern Song Dynasty praised it: "The water on both sides of the towers and towers are connected, and the sky is in the north and south of the river."

Because Jinshan is located on the edge of the Yangtze River, the scenic area has unique architectural style, with halls, pavilions, towers and pavilions all built against the mountain. In addition, Cishou Tower suddenly rises on the top of Jinshan. The temples are lined up one after another, and the towers compete for brilliance. Looking at Jinshan from the river, you can only see the temples without mountains. Therefore, it is famous at home and abroad for the style of "Jinshan Temple wrapping the mountain, seeing the temple, seeing the tower, not seeing the mountain". However, if you want to say that Jinshan Temple is the most famous story of Bai Snake fighting with Fahai to save Xu Xian, Fahai, and flooding the Jinshan Temple, it is an interesting story of civil and military officials of all dynasties.

The most talked about is the story of Liang Hongyu, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty, who resisted the Jin Dynasty.

In the fourth year of Jianyan of Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty, Jin Wushu led 100,000 Jin soldiers and hundreds of warships to come to Zhenjiang. Han Shizhong, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty, stationed in Zhenjiang. He led 8,000 navy troops to block the Jin soldiers. His wife Liang Hongyu and Han Shizhong signed up to use the favorable terrain to lure the enemy Huang Tiandang, and then surrounded and annihilate them. In order to boost morale, Liang Hongyu beat drums and cheered the soldiers on the Miaogao platform of Jinshan. In this battle, Han Shizhong defeated the Jin army and Jin Wushu suffered heavy losses and was defeated. The story of "Liang Hongyu beat drums and battles Jinshan" is well-known and has been remembered forever.

At this time, two figures walked up to Jinshan with their hands on their backs. Jinshan is an island standing in the middle of the Yangtze River. "Wanchuan is flowing eastward, one island is neutral", and it forms a horn with Guazhou and Xijin Ferry. It is a key road between north and south. It has long been famous for "Zhen Tianli, Zhenzhong River, and crossing the two hundred states in the southeast". It is known as "a lotus in the middle of the river". Because there is a Jinshan Temple here, and Zhenjiang has been connected to the Grand Canal since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and it has been extremely prosperous. At this moment, there are many farmers gathered outside Jinshan Temple, and everyone carries a hoe and carries soil to Beijing and Hangzhou to Beijing.

A gap in the Grand Canal was filled with blockage. It was the junction of the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal. It rained a few heavy rains two days ago, and a small mouth was missing. If it was not blocked in time, it would be troublesome when the plum rain season came next year. Therefore, with the shout of the Zhenjiang County Magistrate, the people of Zhenjiang, men, women, and young and old were dispatched. The men were responsible for carrying the transportation, and the women were responsible for shoveling soil. It was very lively. In the past, Jinshan Temple was crowded with tourists, there were not many people. There were no people in the area of ​​dozens of miles, and it seemed extremely quiet.
