Chapter 658 Xu Fengnian went to Wudang again, and the old minister stayed in Beiliang
The two laughed before their death, but both died without regrets.
On the mountain road leaving the hut and heading to Xiaolian Peak, Xu Fengnian and Lu Chengyan actually met the old and young members of the Yan family again. Such fate made the hometown leader Yan Song feel quite wonderful, and his words became less concerned about the simple and profound concerns. If Yan Song was young, before Li Yang destroyed Da Chu, the old man had been in the officialdom for a long time and had met four reigning emperors from the two courts of Da Chu and Li Yang. In fact, the new emperor Zhao Zhuan, who had just ascended the throne in Li Yang, had seen him for a long time. However, when Yan Song was the Minister of Rites, Zhao Zhuan was just a young fourth prince who was not outstanding in all aspects. When he saw the elderly who often went to diligent houses to teach, he also had to hold the etiquette of student. Yan Song had such a mature vision that he naturally would not regard Xu Fengnian as an ordinary Northern Liang pilgrimage. Later, the reception of the head of Wudang Li Yufu further confirmed the old man’s opinion. But both sides knew it well and didn’t need to put it on the table and say it too brightly. As for which young man is a seed of Beiliang, Yan Song, who has seen the highest scenery in Liyang Temple, has nothing to do with Beiliang, and there is no need to worry about it. The two chatted while climbing the mountain, and before they knew it, they talked about the Blue-eyed First Auxiliary. Yan Song, who was standing in the hostile camp, felt regretful about Zhang Julu, saying that Zhang Julu was still half a step away from the saint and had achieved helping the world, but unfortunately he was unable to protect himself.
Yan Song said worriedly: “If these five types of people are not upright, they will be the eunuch who will cause chaos in the world. The wise and relatives of our dynasty have never been a good match, which is a great blessing for the world. The eunuchs were led by Han Shengxuan and Song Tanglu, the chief eunuchs, who were in charge of the seals of the literati, were not uttered. However, they were loyal to the emperor of the Zhao family and were very cautious about power. The eunuchs in our dynasty abide by their duties, so they did not have to worry about eunuchs interfering in politics. The late emperor was vigorously reduced with the assistance of Zhang Julu. Silently suppressing martial arts, combining hardness and softness, which is quite effective. Among the major vassal kings in the previous generation who were called the territorial territories, Zhao Sui, the King of Jiaodong, had already lost all his strength, Zhao Ying, the King of Huainan, died in the battlefield, Zhao Xun, the King of Jing’an, was loyal to the country, Zhao Yi, the King of Guangling, had no ambitions, and you Beiliang was restrained by Beimang again, and even if you had the will, you were powerless, then there were only the King of Yanla, Zhao Bing, who held elite soldiers and was good at hiding his weakness. There were naturally no major enemies in the southern border, and Zhao Bing could slowly accumulate momentum, which must be a major concern for our dynasty.”
Then Yan Song laughed at himself: “As for us civil officials, scholars have failed to rebel for ten years, and the emperor is best to be killed. Wen Zheng has always been the highest pursuit of literati in his life. Even if he can’t be a tutor, there are so many second-rank and third-rank officials who can be appointed. In addition to Wen Zheng, there are also a large number of posthumous titles that can be brought into the coffin. Take a step back and say that being an official has no future, but he can still make his words and tell the world and leave a name in history. So I say that we civil officials are the most ambitious and the most unreliable. But!”
Yan Song suddenly paused, with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: “With Zhang Julu, he has done twenty for scholars all over the world.After the role model of the year, it’s different! “
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, “That Shinsanlang who was so beautiful that he rarely said the truth that broke the window paper, ‘The people are the most important, the king is the least important,’ which was what Zhang Julu taught him. It was also the letter of Jin Lanting’s repentance submitted to the new emperor that made the late emperor determined to kill the Prime Minister. ”
Yan Song said hatefully: “That little bastard, I won’t be a son! Don’t be a minister! Tantan’s fight well! “
Xu Fengnian seemed to laugh it off, but Lu Chengyan realized that he showed a trace of murderous intent based on his intuition.
Yan Song sighed, “Almost everyone in the group of civil officials and ministers in the Spring of Yonghui are best for the cultivation of Qi and governance, and they cannot find any major problems. However, after Zhang Julu has been exposed to him for many years, once the chief minister loses his courage, he will have too much or too much. The more peaceful and prosperous the times are, the more likely the gentleman’s dispute will become a struggle of will, and the terrible thing is that even the emperor has to be helpless. I have many students, and my favorite students also have a pair of hands. It’s not that I’m boasting, but that I have always followed the teachings of the saints. There was nothing in the past ten or twenty years. When I almost retired, there was a world of difference. Whether it was a clan or a cold family, they were all considered capable officials and had good governance. But except for a few two students who have achieved good beginnings and ends, others are more or less corrupt. But those who have good family backgrounds and better food appearance, and suddenly become ugly. I was also puzzled. After thinking about it, one of the honest and honest students revealed the secrets of the world. They were afraid of being poor and were afraid of being poor. Even if they didn’t think about themselves, they had to accumulate family fortunes for their descendants. ”
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, “Actually, this is also human nature. “
Yan Song shook his head and said, “As an official, it is normal for his descendants to have food and clothing, but if you let your descendants live in a mountain of gold and silver for ten lives, you will be able to live. “
Yan Song took a deep breath and forced a smile, “This may be just a look at me in my own way. Yan Song said bitterly: “There was a student who was expected by me to become an important minister of the palace one day. He was almost fifty years old. After the incident in the east window was revealed, he knelt outside my study for several hours. I wanted him to die, but as soon as I thought of the young face and clear and clean eyes he had when he asked me for teaching, I couldn’t make up any effort, and in the end I just let him lose his official position. I heard that now that the new emperor ascended the throne, he became more and more active and operated heavily in the capital, trying to recover. You should know that the target of his spending a lot of money was the clan noble whom he was extremely accused of being a great rat and a selves of the country. Alas, I still remember that I was helping him. “
Xu Fengnian asked, “It’s successful.” Yan Song laughed at himself, “With a lot of money in the way, and with my status as a student of the chief political enemy, I, Yan Song, was naturally successful and I became a doctor of the Ministry of Rites. Afterwards, I wrote a letter to me, the teacher, saying that I would inherit my legacy and become the Minister of Rites. ”
Xu Fengnian said in amazement, “This guy is pretty pretty! It would be great if he came to our Beiliang.”
The old man asked in confusion, “Why is this?”
Xu Fengnian joked, “Just his face as thick as a city wall can help block the Beimang army of tens of thousands.”
Yan Song immediately laughed heartily, and the Yan family children beside him also laughed.
The long mountain road finally comes to an end. At noon, they came to the top of Xiaolian Peak, looking at the distance, feeling relaxed and happy.
Yan Song sincerely sighed to Xu Fengnian standing beside him: “To be honest, I came to Beiliang because someone invited me. He happened to be one of my students. He said Beiliang is a good place that can make people exhale the turbidity in their chest. I don’t believe it, but that guy wrote eight letters in one breath. I was so annoyed. I thought it would be better to walk to the northwest border before I died, and I wrote graceful poems that were so beautiful that I had been writing for a lifetime. Maybe I could write one or two frontier poems that passed down from generation to generation.”
The old man’s grandson upset, “The green poems written by my grandfather are wonderful, and the late emperor praised them all the time. Even the three-class Huanglong scholar in the Spring and Autumn Period admired him! How could he have a slight cheesy!”
The old man in a very good mood smiled and retorted: “Don’t you admire me? Don’t put a high hat on the old man. He Huanglongshi just commented on the six words “I’m weak, but I can’t do it.”
Although he retorted, it can be seen that the old man is still a little proud of this harsh comment that sounds less praise than criticism.
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, “It is not easy to let Huang Sanjia, who never praises others, say this.”
The old man narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard and said, “That’s right. Only when Mr. Xu, the outsider, can I accept this calmly and accept it. What’s the point of flattering my grandson?”
Lu Chengyan smiled knowingly. This old man is also a great man.
Lu Chengyan hesitated for a moment and said, “The old man said that Beiliang among the vassal kings was powerless, and the little woman dared not agree.”
Yan Song turned his head and said, “Oh”
Unexpectedly, Lu Chengyan just said something that was suspected of being a bull’s head, and asked back, “I secretly thought that as long as the general is here, the world will not be in chaos. Beimang dared not go south, Western Chu dared not raise an army, and southern borders will continue to lie dormant, the old man thought.”
Yan Song remained silent for a long time.
Yan Song, who seemed to be lost, sighed softly and nodded slightly, “So that’s it, I’ve been taught.”
Lu Chengyan hurriedly said, “I dare not.”
The old man changed his gaze with a complicated expression and looked at Xu Fengnian, “If you remember correctly, you once threatened to do something for the people of the Central Plains in Tai’an City.”
Xu Fengnian asked, “How did Mr. Yan guess it?”
Yan Song said calmly, “If a woman has such an experience, it must be that it isMy daughter also has a Qingzhou accent. It just so happened that I worked with Lu Feiji, the Shangzhuguo, who was the backbone of the Qing Party, in the court for many years. Then her identity and your identity will naturally be revealed. “
The old man snorted coldly and turned around and left first. Most of the Yan family’s children didn’t know why their ancestors’ faces suddenly turned from sunny to dark, but they followed them down the mountain with uneasyness, just thinking that it was a trip to Wudang Mountain that came and returned with great success.
Lu Chengyan apologized softly, “It’s me who is extravagant. “
Xu Fengnian touched her cheek and said softly: “Don’t worry, our teacher of the Beiliang Taoist Master is actually ready to stay in Beiliang. ”
