Chapter 1348 Now and then, you are almost worthy of it!
When Lin Mu was in school, he naturally read this poem.
At that time, he had no feeling for "Crossing Zero Ding Yang", but fortunately, the two famous sayings "Who has not died since ancient times" are easy to memorize, and it is easier to pass the exam, which is the only feeling he had at that time.
I still remember that in the class at that time, when talking about the poem "Crossing the Zero Ding Yang", the Chinese teacher who was already in his 50s was like a surprise, reading this poem, and not talking about any word analysis such as "virtual fingers", which was very different from the usual class appearance.
In that class, the teacher just wrote out the "Song of Righteousness" and roughly explained the meaning of these two poems to everyone.
At that time, Lin Mu didn't understand the emotions behind this poem at all, but he was just glad that he didn't have to memorize such a long "Song of Righteousness", he was naughty and nonsense, and he didn't care at all.
Who would have thought that when they heard this "Song of Righteousness" again, it would be like this?!
For the first time in his life, Lin Mu felt the kind of "literati style" that transcended time and space, and looked at the back of Wen Tianxiang in front of him, as if he had seen a saint.
is indeed a saint, Wen Tianxiang's behavior made him completely see how loyal a literati of the Song Dynasty was, how decisive he was to his family and relatives, and how much hatred he had for the enemy country of Mengyuan!
When he was imprisoned in a prison cell and used "righteousness" to resist the "seven qi", Wen Tianxiang's eldest daughter was a slave in the emperor, and Kublai Khan ordered him to write a letter to persuade Wen Tianxiang to surrender.
Counting the previous "prison cell" forced to surrender, now it is tempted by family affection.
In the letter, seeing that his wife and daughter were humiliated and tortured, as long as he nodded, his wife and daughter could get out of this desperate situation, and he was also a high-ranking official.
The emperors have all descended, and they have lowered their own yuan, so what is there?
But......
"Who has no wife and children, but today's matter has come to this, Yu Yi deserves death!"
It is hard for Lin Mu to imagine what kind of will makes the person in front of him cling to the ethereal bones, if that kind of situation is put on him, what will he do?
At that moment, the emperor and all the officials were downgraded, and the great rivers and mountains in the past were even more innumerable traitors who were free in the world, and the people were in trouble, and it was simply a hopeless dynasty in turmoil!
It is only said that the emperor first reused Jia Nidao, and later, for the sake of the central government, he disregarded the general interests of the nation, refused to obey Wen Tianxiang's direct advice to delegate power, and did not care about the weakening of local forces at all, even if the Mengyuan invasion was like fire, it was still the case!
It can be said that the Song Dynasty at that time was really exhausted!
In other words, some of the current public knowledge, "I love the country, but does the country love me", and he became a subordinate with peace of mind.
Wen Tianxiang didn't know the phrase "I love the country, but does the country love me".
Looking at his life, it seems that after knowing that he "loves the country", he dedicated everything he had to this country and the nation, without the slightest hint of bargaining.
The court of the Song Dynasty doesn't love him, but can the court of the Song Dynasty represent this country?
The thousands of miles of picturesque rivers, the hundreds of millions of innocent people, and the peaceful and prosperous era of etiquette and morality may be the "country" in Wen Tianxiang's heart.
As for the emperor and the power of the ministers?
Because these people have no backbone and become vassals, can they also surrender with peace of mind?
"Who has not died in life since ancient times, leaving Dan to take care of his sweat!"
……
How powerful can a prisoner be?
Every day Wen Tianxiang lives, his bones sting countless Song people and inspiring countless rebels!
At that time, among the anti-Yuan forces in various places, almost everyone was holding high the banner of "Prime Minister Wen" in order to gain the name of righteousness.
Among the various intersections shouted at the time of the uprising, there were those who threatened to "rescue Prime Minister Wen"; there were also anonymous letters that said that "one day leading troops and horses into chaos, but the prime minister can be guaranteed to have no worries", and the indomitable scribes in that cell took practical actions to let the world know what it means to be "literati and bones"!
Such Wen Tianxiang supported the anti-Yuan forces in the world, and he was in a prison cell, but his influence was threatening the Yuan Dynasty court at all times.
Such Wen Tianxiang pricked the nerves of everyone in the court, Wen Tianxiang lived for a day, and their souls would be tortured for a day!
The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have suggested to Kublai Khan, please kill Wen Tianxiang!
Living alone makes the entire court want to kill him, in Lin Mu's opinion, Wen Tianxiang at this time has surpassed Confucius and Mencius, and can be called the most charismatic spiritual power in history!
After "spiritual power", maybe a "one" needs to be added to the back, but Lin Mu thought about it a few times, and he didn't know whose spiritual charm could surpass Wen Tianxiang......
……
How many times have you been persuaded to surrender?
In history, there are countless records of persuasion,
There are those who put on a show and untie the rope, and they are so moved that they kneel and wish to surrender, and there are those who put a cloak on them and bow their heads.
There are also hard bones, they don't want to surrender, and the surrenderers don't bother to surrender again, so they kill directly.
But for a "third sage" like Wen Tianxiang, Kublai Khan would almost rather bear all kinds of consequences than kill such a "saint", even now, when Wen Tianxiang, who is powerless, has become the biggest disaster for Meng Yuan, he still doesn't want to kill!
"You treat me with the same loyalty as you did to the Song Dynasty, and I will make you the prime minister!"
This is Kublai Khan's promise, and it is conceivable that this "prime minister" is not at all in the same order of magnitude as the previous prime ministers who surrendered to their subjects.
In the face of persuasion, Wen Tianxiang once spoke coldly and sarcastically, once painfully sad, and once desperate to death, but under the final surrender of Kublai Khan, his emotions seemed to be unexpectedly calm: "Wen Tianxiang has accepted Song En and is the prime minister, how can he be a new master, and only wish to die!"
There is no more loyal person than this!
Even Kublai Khan, the founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty who had destroyed countless countries and regarded himself very highly, still treated each other equally in front of such Wen Tianxiang: "Good man, it's a pity not to use it for me!"
In 1283, on January 9, Wen Tianxiang asked the people for directions on the execution ground, and bowed to the south.
Immediately, he asked for pen and paper and wrote down the poem:
"In the past, he walked alone to Huaiyang, and escaped thousands of miles to assist the Song Emperor.
Heaven and earth do not allow for the prosperity of the community, and the state family has no owner and is loyal.
God returned to Songyue, and the wind and clouds changed, and the gas entered the smoke and the grass and trees were barren.
Looking south to the Jiuyuan, the Guanhe River is a dark road. ”
Subsequently, he calmly became righteous, and in his eyes, death was as joyful and relaxed as returning to his hometown.
……
Lin Mu never understood why those prisoners on the execution ground were allowed to write poems and pass them on.
Such doubts were answered in front of Wen Tianxiang's posthumous poem written on his belt.
When his wife Ouyang collected his body, a poem was found on Wen Tianxiang's belt.
"Kong said to be benevolent, Meng said to take righteousness, only its righteousness is exhausted, so benevolence. What do you learn when you read the books of the sages?
And now and then,
It's almost worth it!
