Chapter 25 Wen Tianxiang
Yingzi, Fang Qingze and Lu Yunzhi looked at the man who pushed the door and walked in, and suddenly stood up as if they were facing a great enemy, but they were suffering from the fact that they had no weapons next to them when they went to the banquet just now, and they wanted to go to the side to get it but were worried that the person would shoot at any time, and they were in a dilemma for a while. The man is in his fifties, with a beard on the top and a grandson beard on the bottom, a pair of bright eyes under the two thin eyebrows, although the eyes are not big, but they reveal the light of wisdom, and the temperament is very serious, but he looks at the three people in front of him with a smile rather than a smile, this person Lu Yunzhi and others all know, it is the secretary of the military department, Yu Qian, who was named Shaobao.
"Yu Shaobao, what are you doing all this for?" Lu Yunzhi said calmly, he had learned to restrain himself, and his anger until this moment could not solve any problems. Yu Qian sat down, and then stretched out his hand to signal the three of them to sit down as well, Lu Yunzhi sat opposite Yu Qian, and Fang Qingze also snorted coldly and sat down, but looked around for any ambushes around, he didn't believe that Yu Qian dared to come alone. "Yingzi, serve tea, Yu Shaobao must be thirsty." Lu Yunzhi said that it seemed that he wanted to let Yingzi go out first, worried that he would be besieged here.
Yu Qian shook his hand and said, "Thank you, don't be busy, listen to me tell a story." Lu Yunzhi smiled and replied, "Please." "There is a family surnamed Yu in Qiantang County who gave birth to a boy in the year of Emperor Taizu Gao's death, named Yu Qian, that is, me. My ancestral home is Kaocheng, great-grandfather generation went to Qiantang as an official and then the family went to Qiantang, the year I was born, Emperor Gao died of immortality, the period of national mourning can not be celebrated, so the family did not go around. When I was seven years old, one day, my father took me on a trip to Jingshan, and a monk in Jingshan Temple saw me on the road but suddenly shouted: "There is no one like this in the sights, and the prime minister will save him on another day." The monk was surprised and asked my father why no one had met me before, and my father said that he was serving the national funeral when he was young, so he did not celebrate the new life, and naturally no one met him. But the monk said; Wait for me to take a closer look. But my father didn't think so, and pulled me away, and said mockingly: "The post of prime minister has been deposed by Emperor Taizu Gao, how can he be the prime minister." Yu Qian said.
The three of them looked at each other, knowing that although Yu Qian had not entered the cabinet, he was also in power after the battle in the capital, and there was no difference between him and the old prime minister, and they couldn't help but sigh that the monk had some skills. Yu Qian saw the three of them looking at each other, smiled slightly and said: "This monk is my master, in the monk and Jingshan Temple, Yao Guangxiao had practiced in Jingshan in the past, and he taught his master some yin and yang skills in his spare time. After Jingshan said goodbye, my tutor specially found my family's residence, and talked with my father, and convinced my father with his superb hexagram numbers and exorcism skills, and finally I worshiped his disciples. From then on, my master and apprentice were like father and son, hey, Master. ”
Lu Yunzhi asked, "Who is the surname of the respected teacher?" "Who is the surname, this is disrespectful, the family teacher is a master in the world, as for the common name, I don't know, the law name Qingkong." Later, Master not only taught me the art of yin and yang, but also made me familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics and the Art of War, and said to me: 'Disciple, you must read these books thoroughly, and they will be of great use in the future. I listened to Master's words, forgot to sleep and eat, did not dare to delay a moment, and carefully studied all the knowledge taught by Master. My father also hired a number of well-known gentlemen for me to teach me the Four Books and Five Classics, I was immersed in the mixed knowledge, one day a well-known gentleman asked me who I admired, I took out a scroll, on which was painted a national hero, he was one of the three heroes of the late Song Dynasty, a native of Luling, Jizhou, I have heard that Lu Yunzhi is a rare erudite person in the Zhongzheng lineage, do you know who he is? Yu Qian asked with a smile at Lu Yunyi.
Although Lu Yunzhi's eyes were peaceful, his eyes were full of doubts, he didn't know what Yu Qian was doing with this, although it explained who he was learning from, but it had nothing to do with why he exterminated the Zhongzheng lineage, and when he heard Yu Qian's question, he also replied: "Is it Wen Tianxiang?" ”
"Exactly!" Yu Qian suddenly became excited, "I wrote poems on the wall, forgetting my life for the country, sacrificing my life for righteousness and death, and being unrelenting." It is my ideal to be a person like Wen Tianxiang, and I want to be a loyal minister, a loyal minister who has done his best for the country and the people. Master walked outside the door and heard my conversation with Mr. Teach, he nodded his head with tears in his eyes, and wept outside the door, and later I knew that this was a cry of joy, because everything I thought and wanted to do was what Master wanted. In the nineteenth year of Yongle, my township was preparing to go to Beijing to take the exam, and before leaving, the master called me to the wilderness and dense forest, and assessed what I had learned, and then felt that I was already higher than the master. After that, the master handed me a mud pill and asked me to leave the dense forest, and after I pinched it open, there was a note hidden in the mud pill, saying that it was left to him by Yao Guangxiao, and that it would be handed over to the true disciples in the future. ”
Yu Qian sighed as if remembering some sad past, and then his eyes were a little moist and continued: "I don't know what Master's intention was in calling me to the wilderness, but Master handed me a sword and said, 'Apprentice, do you want to be a loyal minister like Wen Tianxiang?' I took the sword and replied, 'Yes, this is the pursuit of a lifetime in vain.' The Master laughed with joy and then asked, 'What should you do if someone betrays the country and rebels?' I replied: 'Kill!' The master tore off his clothes and showed his chest and said to me, 'Come, kill me, if you don't kill me, I will definitely rebel, and even if the rebellion fails, I will unite with the Northern Barbarians and Tatars to fight the Central Plains, and then the world will be in chaos.' I didn't dare to do anything, but I just said, 'You can't Master, you have been teaching me to be an upright person, how can you be like this?' Don't joke with the apprentices. But the master said, 'For the sake of the teacher, if you don't kill me today, you will have cholera for the rest of your life.' Apprentice, if you want to be a loyal minister, you may have to do a lot of things against your will, kill a lot of people, kill the teacher first, you and I are like father and son, after killing the teacher, there will be no trace of concern and affection in the world, the loyal minister is great and lonely, if you want to be a loyal minister, kill me. I was confused and didn't know what to do, but Master took advantage of my stunned moments to pounce on my sword, and grabbed my right hand with both hands, and the steel sword pierced Master's chest, but it also made my heart cold as ice. With the last of his strength, Master said, 'Go, disciple, remember to follow the words in the mud pill, and the world is waiting for your salvation to turn the tide!' As he spoke, he laughed and died. ”
Speaking of this, Yu Qian suddenly seemed to be choked, was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "I want to be Wen Tianxiang, but I want to be the loneliest loyal minister in the world, Yu Qian!" Draw the sword and dance in the atrium, the song vibrates the forest, and the same goes for her husband, who does not learn rotten sourness. ”
