At 3 p.m. on October 1, 1949, Tiananmen Square. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

An old man and a teenager stood side by side in the crowd and witnessed the founding ceremony with their own eyes!

************************************

The old man and the young man are a pair of masters and apprentices who depend on each other for their lives and make their homes all over the world.

The boy is an orphan with the surname "Hong" and the name "Hezhang".

It is said that this name was given to him when the old man picked him up in the wild 18 years ago, racking his brains, asking the heavens for divination, and meditating for half a month.

When he grew up, the teenager was depressed about this name, Hong Hezhang, isn't it a very ordinary name?

The young man was very dissatisfied, so he went to the old man and asked for a name change, saying, "Master, what do you mean by giving me the name 'Hong Hezhang'?"

The old man said indifferently: "Sage, peace is precious. This name was painstakingly and slowly guessed by me based on your numerology. It represents your past and present lives, social status, and interpersonal fortunes. So, you must not take it lightly. ”

The young man wondered: "My past and present life, my social status, my interpersonal fortune, what kind of numerology is this? You can even speculate about my past and future, is it so powerful? It can't be that you are talking nonsense, right?"

The old man smiled and said, "Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, I'll know later." ”

The young man asked curiously, "Then tell me what my social status and interpersonal fortunes were in my past and present lives?"

The old man said mysteriously: "The things of the past life are a foregone conclusion, and they can be said, but the things of this life have not happened yet, so they should not be revealed." ”

The young man said disdainfully: "In this way, what is the difference between you and those fortune tellers who go around the rivers and lakes to cheat people out of money? The events of my past life are a foregone conclusion? Who was in the past? What happened to me? Who knows? Even whether I have a past or not is unknown. So, you can just make up a story to deceive me, and I can't go back in time to prove that the story you're telling is true. As for the things of this world, they have not happened yet, so they must not be divulged, of course you dare not divulge them, because the things of this world can be experienced by me in the future, and if you say it now, and I will not experience it in the future, then you will not be very ashamed?"

The old man smiled and asked, "So, don't you want to know about your past life?"

The young man smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to know." Anyway, it's boring right now, so it's okay to listen to your nonsense. If you tell this story well, I can use it to deceive my children and grandchildren in the future. So I hope you'd better be able to make it a little more realistic, so that I feel as if I have something to do and believe it. Otherwise, you'll be too shameless!"

The old man laughed and said, "Whether you believe this story or not, I believe it anyway." ”

The young man sat down and said, "You say, I will listen to you." ”

The old man groaned for a while, and said, "According to my speculation, your previous life was the founding minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, 'Wang Dao'. ”

The young man was surprised: "Prime Minister Wang Dao?"

The old man nodded, "Not bad." It was Prime Minister Wang Dao. ”

From childhood to adulthood, he was well-read and memorized, familiar with ancient and modern Chinese and foreign history, and he knew a lot of deeds and allusions about the prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty "Wang Dao" without the old man talking in detail.

According to historical records, Wang Yi came from a famous family, his family background was prominent, and most of his father and elder brothers held important positions in the Western Jin Dynasty, among which his grandfather "Wang Lan" and his official residence "Guanglu Doctor"; his father "Wang Judge" once served as "Zhenjun Sima"; and his cousin "Wang Yan" was tired of holding the positions of "Sikong, Situ, and Taiwei", and was one of the most extraordinary figures in the court at that time......

Wang Dao usually has a very good relationship with the great-grandson of "Emperor Xuan of Jin, Sima Yi", "King Langya, Sima Rui". In the first year of Yongjia (307), "Emperor Huai of Jin, Sima Chi" appointed "Sima Rui" as "General Andong", and went out of the town of Jianye (later renamed Jiankang, now Nanjing). So, Wang Daoxiang followed Nandu and served as "General Anton Sima".

After that, Wang Dao took the initiative to make suggestions, united the northern and southern scholars, supported "Sima Rui" as the emperor (Emperor Jin Yuan), established the Eastern Jin Dynasty regime, and Wang Dao was the official of Zaifu.

Emperor Yuan has always lacked talent and prestige, and he is a sparse subordinate in the Jin family, and he was able to obtain the throne mainly with the support of Wang Dao. Therefore, Emperor Yuan often compared Wang Dao to his "Xiao He" and relied on him very much.

Because Wang Yi was born into a famous family in the Central Plains, he was a very sophisticated politician in his own right. So, in fact, he is the creator of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Wang Dao has been in charge of the three dynasties of "Emperor Jin Yuan, Emperor Ming of Jin, and Emperor Cheng of Jin", and his cousin "Wang Dun" has supervised the military of "Jiang and Yang" in six states.

At that time, the Wang family was in the limelight for a while.

It is rumored that at that time, there was a saying that "the king and the horse share the world".

It can be seen that the power of the Wang family is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and the power is supreme.

Later, the cousin "Wang Dun" rebelled, and Wang Dao led the children of the clan to treat the crime every day, and begged for "Shangshu Zuo Servant Shot, Zhou Yi (word: Boren)" to save him.

At that time, although "Zhou Yi [yǐ]" did not agree on the surface, in fact, it showed that "Emperor Jin Yuan" strongly argued the loyalty of "Wang Dao".

However, Director Wang didn't know about it, so he held a grudge.

After Wang Dun invaded Jiankang, he repeatedly asked Director Wang how to deal with Zhou Yi?

Director Wang has not expressed his position.

So, Wang Dun killed Zhou Yi.

When it was time to clean up the palace archives, Director Wang learned that Zhou Yi had repeatedly appeared to Emperor Yuan to defend himself for Wang Dun's rebellion, so he sighed and said: "I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me." ”

In addition to these political deeds, Wang Dao is also the uncle of the famous calligrapher "Calligraphy Sage, Wang Xizhi".

The famous allusion "East Bed Quick Son-in-law" happened in the house of Prime Minister Wang Dao.

At that time, the Eastern Jin Dynasty "Taiwei, Xi Jian ([xī][jiàn])" wanted to find a son-in-law for his daughter (Xi Xuan), and heard that the prime minister Wang Dao's family had many children, and all of them were talented and beautiful, so he sent a housekeeper to the house of the prime minister Wang Dao to choose a son-in-law.

When the children of the palace heard that Taiwei Xi had sent someone to look for a son-in-law, they all worked hard and dressed up carefully to meet each other, hoping that they would be selected.

However, the housekeeper of Xifu looked at it and felt that all the young talents in the palace were very good. Finally, when the housekeeper of Xifu came to the study of the East Cross Courtyard, he saw a young man lying on his back on the bed against the wall.

It turned out that Wang Xizhi was halfway to the prime minister's palace, and after repeatedly appreciating the ancient monument of "the famous calligrapher of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Yong", he was addicted to it, and he didn't care about anything, and even the blind date had long been forgotten.

When he hurriedly came to the prime minister's palace, because of the hot weather, he took off his coat casually, went naked, and drank tea while thinking about the calligraphy of "Cai Yong".

Seeing him like this, the housekeeper of Xifu was completely stunned, and he didn't answer his questions.

Later, when the housekeeper of Xifu returned to Taiwei's mansion, he reported to Taiwei Xi truthfully, saying: "There are more than 20 young sons in the Prime Minister's Palace, and they heard that Xifu is looking for a son-in-law, and they are all scrambling, but there is only a prince on the east bed, lying on his stomach, as if nothing happened. ”

After hearing this, Xi Jian laughed and said, "This is a good son-in-law." He's the one I'm going to choose!"

So, Xi Jian immediately visited the prime minister's palace, and saw that Wang Xizhi himself was both open-minded and elegant, talented and beautiful, so he gave a dowry on the spot and chose to be a quick son-in-law.

This is the origin of the famous allusion "East Bed Quick Son-in-law". (To be continued.) )
