Hongjing is knowledgeable and has read more than ten thousand volumes. He is famous in the history of the Six Classics. /kloc-at the age of 0/7, he became four friends with Jiang and Chu Xuan. When Qi Gaozu took photos, he was cited as a servant of the kings. Except at the invitation of the imperial court, all the important events of the imperial court depend on him. However, although he is in Zhumen, he lives alone in a room and closes his eyes. He only took reading as his service, studied the collection of calligraphy, symbols and pictures day and night, kept healthy by eating and drinking, and gradually explored secluded places. After so many years, I gradually realized that I had the ambition of seclusion. In the tenth year of Qi Yongming, he decided to travel far and retire. At first, he didn't say goodbye to Emperor Wu of Qi, left without saying goodbye, hung up the dragon robe at the deer market in Shenwumen and walked out of the East Pavilion. Then tell the entourage "Don't let anyone know" and say goodbye to my friend Rebecca. Knowing his ambition, Wang Yan said to him, "The emperor is very strict and does not allow ministers to do bizarre things. If you leave without saying goodbye like this, you may have ulterior motives. If the emperor blames you, you will not achieve your goal. "
Hongjing pondered for a long time and replied, "I originally wanted to fulfill my long-cherished wish, not for fame and fortune." What you said really makes sense. I should tell the emperor what is going on. " So Hongjing went to Chen Cheng to show his abdication. I heard that there was an ethos of keeping in good health in the Yao Emperor's time and the Han Dynasty. I have been an official for a long time, how could I miss the splendor, and what I learned was not for the sake of wealth. So I often want to return to nature, live an idyllic life and appreciate the beauty of nature. I'm leaving the palace. I was so attached when I left that I had to go to the table to show my mind. Emperor Wu of Qi was deeply moved to see Hongjing's official release form. He not only approved Hongjing's request, but also gave him a reward, giving him ten silks and twenty candles. Don't worry: I give five pounds of poria cocos and two buckets of white honey as bait every month. Give strong support to his health and monasticism.
So Hongjing came out of the mountain and was sent to the very prosperous Lu Zheng Pavilion when he left. Chemake said that people say that this is an unprecedented event since the Song and Qi Dynasties, and both the ruling and opposition parties are honored. Hongjing and his party came to Gouqu Mountain in Gourong and stopped to build a pavilion in the mountain. Hongjing said that this mountain is the cave capacity of Jintan, which is 150 miles around and is known as the day of Huayang. This is the residence of Sanmao in the Han Dynasty, hence the name Maoshan. Hongjing built a museum in this mountain and lived in seclusion, calling himself Huayang. Therefore, people call him Tao Hermit. From then on, Hongjing began his seclusion and practice life for more than forty years. After Hongjing abdicated, Shen Yue was the chief of Dongyang at that time. Admiring his ambition and moral integrity, he repeatedly wrote to ask him to come out as an official, but he politely declined.
Liang Wudi Xiao Yan had a close relationship with Hongjing in his early years. When Emperor Wu ascended the throne, the initial title was uncertain. Hongjing quoted all the predictions, all of which became the word "Liang", and wrote to Emperor Wu, telling him that "Liang" was a symbol of good luck. Liang Wudi named this country Liang. Later, Emperor Wu wanted to hire Hongjing as an official. He personally wrote a letter to him and gave him a deerskin towel. Later, after many invitations, Hongjing was unwilling to draw a picture of two cows with Emperor Wu. In the picture, a cow is scattered among the water plants, with a golden head, and someone drives it away with a rope and a stick. When Emperor Wu saw the painting, he said with a smile, "This man wants nothing. He wants to tail the turtle, how can he make sense! " Therefore, the appointment of officials is no longer mentioned. But when the country encounters major events, it always asks for advice. Between the emperor and Hongjing, there are endless letters every month. Every time the emperor got a book, he burned incense and was pious and respectful, which was hard to see. Therefore, people call it "the Prime Minister in the Mountain".
