Chapter 2 The Ancestral Decision
The next morning, Xin Qiji was having breakfast in the living room, when he saw the housekeeper hurriedly walk in and said, "Master, the old man who brought him back to the house yesterday has almost woken up." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
After Xin Qiji heard the housekeeper's announcement, he hurriedly got up and came to the guest room in the house.
Seeing Xin Qijian coming in, the old man struggled to get up to pay respects, Xin Qijian hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man, and asked, "No need to be polite, I don't know why the old knight was injured here?"
The old man hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "I heard from the housekeeper in the house just now, you are the famous Lord Xin Qijixin, and you are the life-saving benefactor below, so it doesn't hurt to tell you about the next things." ”
After finishing speaking, the old man continued to ask, "Have you ever heard of the three great treasures that the ancestors relied on to calm the world in the past?"
Xin Qiji replied: "I really don't know much about this, so I'm willing to ask for details." ”
The old man continued: "The first thing is the 'Old Ancestor Xuandu'. In the past, Chen Kuan ancestor lived in seclusion in Huashan, and met an old man carrying a basket on his shoulder, and a boy sat in each of the two baskets, and when the old man passed by him, he shouted: "The world is now decided!" and was so happy that he almost fell off the donkey's back.
After that, people said that the old man carried two dragons on one shoulder.
It turned out that this old man who picked the basket picked the famous Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, and this old man was the father of Taizu and Taizong.
Later, after Taizu became an adult, there was a trouble, and the government sent people to arrest him, and Emperor Taizu sneaked through Tongguan and came to SX to enter the Huayin ground.
After escaping the pursuit of the government, Taizu felt empty in his stomach and weak in his limbs.
At this time, Chen Kuan Ancestor dressed up as an old man selling peaches, carrying a peach basket, and sat at the intersection of Huashan Road.
At this time, Emperor Taizu was hungry and thirsty, and he was looking forward to meeting someone who sold food and drink, delicious and full, but someone handed him a pillow when he fell asleep.
Emperor Taizu saw two baskets of fresh peaches from afar, red and big, and suddenly his feet were energetic, so he ran up in a hurry, and ate them without asking about thirty-seven twenty-one.
After a while, there was not much left of the two baskets of fresh peaches.
After eating the peaches, Zhao Kuangyin wiped his mouth, lowered his flat shoulder, leaned on the basket, fell asleep, and from time to time stretched his arrogant and stinky feet into the arms of Chen Tuo's ancestor.
Chen Tuan Ancestor didn't wake him up, just waited quietly on the side.
It wasn't until sunset that Emperor Taizu woke up, then picked up the coiling dragon stick, turned around and left.
Chen Tuan Ancestor hurriedly stopped Emperor Taizu and said, "You, a strong man, ate my peaches, and slept on my flat shoulder, and when you woke up, you didn't give a penny, you didn't even say a word of thanks, turned your head and left, are you unreasonable?"
"What do you want?," You know, this Emperor Taizu never knew how to pay for food.
When Chen Jian heard Emperor Taizu say this, he was not angry, but still said calmly: "Come on, I don't think you can afford it, so I want you to pay a penny." ”
Zhao Kuangyin laughed when he heard this, thinking that this old man was so strange that two baskets of peaches only cost a penny, so he said generously: "Okay, a penny is a penny." ”
However, after touching his body for a long time, he didn't even touch a penny, and he couldn't help but blush.
Chen Tuan Ancestor saw that the penny stumped the hero, and hurriedly found a step for Emperor Taizu to go down, and said: "No money, it doesn't matter, as long as you accompany me to play a game of chess and win me, even if you pay the peach money." ”
Zhao Kuangyin thought to himself: I won't do anything else, I'm an expert in chess and gambling, I not only want to win peach money, but also let you lose all the peach trees at home?
In the first game, Zhao Kuangyin won, and he became more and more proud, insisting on the second set.
Chen Tuan Ancestor said: "You have returned the peach money, that's it, it's getting late, I want to go home." ”
Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly grabbed Chen Kuan's ancestor and said, "Don't be busy, old man, I will win your peach tree in the next game of chess." ”
Old Ancestor Chen laughed and said, "What if you lose?"
Zhao Kuangyin replied: "I'll give you this dragon stick." ”
Who knew that before he took a few steps in the second set, Zhao Kuangyin was defeated.
Chen Shu didn't say a word, picked up the coiled dragon stick and went straight to Huashan.
Zhao Kuangyin was unwilling to admit defeat, followed behind and shouted, "One more plate, one more plate!"
shouted and shouted like this, and when he caught up with Chen Jun, he had already come to the Dongfeng Chess Pavilion.
At this time, the bright moon is in the sky, the sky is like washing, the mountains are empty and the valleys are quiet, all the sounds are silent, only the breeze blows slowly, and the mountains are faintly like daisies.
Zhao Kuangyin had never experienced such a wonderful scene, and felt as if he was in an overseas immortal mountain, and he couldn't help but be drunk.
At this time, when he found that the person sitting opposite the stone table was no longer an old peach seller, but an old Taoist with white hair and flowing hair, he remembered that he was chasing the old peach seller to kill another game.
Chen Tuan Ancestor pointed to the chessboard that had been set up in front of him, and said, "You are chasing after you because you want to gamble again, I don't know what to use as a bet this time?"
Taizu knew that this old man was not a mortal, and he had already admired it from the bottom of his heart.
He knew that his body was empty, and the coiling dragon stick had lost to the other party, no matter what, he couldn't think of what to bet on, so he had to say: "I bet on Huashan!"
Chen Tuan Ancestor was waiting for this sentence, of course he was full of promises, and said: "There is no evidence for empty words, I want to write a document to prove it." ”
Zhao Kuangyin thought: Huashan is not mine, if you lose, you will lose, so what's the harm in making a contract.
Chen Kuan's ancestor had already prepared pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, wrote a literary contract, and asked Zhao Kuangyin to press his fingerprints, and then sat down and played chess.
After playing three sets, Zhao Kuangyin lost three sets.
Ancestor Chen said happily: "Huashan really belongs to my Taoist. ”
However, at this time, Emperor Taizu played tricks and said: "The mountain is a Taoist mountain, and the tree is a royal tree." ”
As soon as Chen Jian heard this, he hurriedly ran to the ground and shouted, "Thank you, Lord Longen!"
Taizu didn't know why this Taoist chief acted as a monarch and a minister, and was about to ask for an understanding, when Chen Tuan Ancestor said: "A strong man has the respect of ninety-five. ”
At this time, Taizu knew that he would have the position of the Son of Heaven in the future, and now he opened his mouth and lost Huashan, and he would definitely be condemned by the world in the future, and he regretted it in his heart, and hurriedly snatched the covenant. Unexpectedly, Chen Tuan Ancestor took a light breath, and Wen Yue flew over the valley stream and pasted it on the stone wall of Sanfeng Mountain opposite the chess pavilion.
Taizu knew that he couldn't rely on it, so he asked Chen Tuan for guidance and accomplished the great cause of founding the country as soon as possible.
Chen Tuan Ancestor did not shirk, and gave the world's first strange book "Ancestor Xuandu" to Emperor Taizu, and Emperor Taizu said: "This book is all-encompassing, including the supreme heart of Xuanmen, the art of war, the geography of the world, etc., which can help you achieve meritorious deeds in the future." ”
Emperor Taizu then studied this book diligently under the guidance of his ancestors.
After the great advancement of knowledge, Chen Tuan Ancestor instructed Song Taizu and said: "Now Hou Zhou Shizong Chai Rong is recruiting troops and horses in Tongguan to recruit good generals, you can go and vote." ”
After listening to the guidance of Chen Kuan's ancestor, Zhao Kuangyin immediately went down the mountain and went straight to Tongguan, using what he had learned, strategizing, and then finally "adding a yellow robe" and becoming the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty.
