Chapter 348: The Old and the New on the High Platform of Life and Death
East of Bianliang City, bamboo forest high platform.
Surrounded by pines and cypresses, the scenery is beautiful, and it is the place where the literati of Bianliang ascend the Range Rover.
There are 10,000 green bamboos planted on the post, straight and beautiful, sparse wind and drunken shadow, elegant and pleasant, at this time there is the voice of high-minded talk in the forest from time to time, mixed with bursts of heroic laughter, Yixing flies.
"Brothers, today Mr. Meng Yichuan is summoned, taking advantage of the beautiful scenery of the bamboo forest, emulating the sages, and making a meeting of Shanyang, which is really a fortunate event in the Bianjing literary circle, and it is also a grand event of the Great Song Dynasty." Geng Nanzhong, a member of the Ministry of Rites, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Mr. Yichuan." ”
All the scribes in the forest paid each other and said in unison: "Congratulations to Mr. Yichuan." ”
"The old man has endured it." Cheng Yi, who is old but has excellent maintenance, raised the lamp with a smile.
The old man had a silver beard and a bright head, and he was in good spirits, and he did not show any fatigue. But those who are familiar with him know that Mr. Yichuan's body has collapsed this year, and several serious illnesses have struck suddenly, and now it is more like a return to light.
Mr. Yi Chuan is Cheng Yi, the younger brother of Cheng Hao, and the brothers came up with a science, which was later carried forward by Zhu Xi.
The two brothers believe that people should "go away from human desires and keep heavenly principles", and believe that "starvation is very small, and loss of temper is very great", and preach the theory of "temperament".
When he was twenty-four years old, he gave a lecture at the Kaifeng Mansion in Kaifeng Mansion, and he failed in the court examination, so he did not participate in the re-examination.
Xiao Cheng did not take the Jinshi examination, but according to the old practice, the Cheng family has been an official for generations, and his father Cheng Jue enjoys the privilege of sheltering his children as officials, but Cheng Yi gave every opportunity to "Ren Enzi" to other people in the family, and he did not go out to be an official, and devoted himself to the way of Confucius and Mencius as a "priest" for a long time, and accepted a large number of students and engaged in lecture activities.
Today's Shilin literary circle respects him and praises him a lot.
When a group of people were talking and gathering with beauty, a group of people suddenly climbed up from the bottom of the mountain.
The one headed by him has a long body and a great appearance, and it is Wu Min, a disciple of Yang Lin.
Behind him, followed by two juniors and disciples, as well as a group of idlers in various robes.
Together, a lean and sturdy man was gathered around, and he was shouting something from heaven to heaven and ascending, which seemed to these scribes to be extremely vulgar.
Wu Min and Cai Qian knew Cheng Yi and had also listened to his lectures, and many of the people present were their classmates when they were studying in Taixue, so they stepped forward to say hello with a smile.
Everyone knew that they were now the royal celebrities, the disciples of the powerful Yang Lin in the court, and there was jealousy and disdain in their expressions, and Wu Min felt a little annoyed after feeling it.
Apprenticeship with Yang Lin does not hinder these people's bird affairs, why do you want to do this.
After all, Cheng Yi was older and more open-minded, and asked with a smile: "Wu Yuanzhong, what are you doing when you gather people on stage?" ”
Wu Min pointed to the group of people in front of him who were shouting and preparing, and said with a smile: "That thin young man has created a kind of giant wing, which can fly down from this high post, but he is unharmed. We are here today to test his work. ”
The scribes present laughed together, pointing and laughing.
"I'm afraid I'm not an idiot."
"If he falls to his death, will you be considered an injury?"
"Wu Yuanzhong, what have you learned to make people stupid?"
...
Cheng Yi was also a little unconvinced, and kindly persuaded: "It's better not to do this senseless temptation, this future life is also raised by his father and mother, if there is an accident, wouldn't it make his parents uneasy, why don't you persuade him?" ”
Wu Min just wanted to explain, but Uncle Xu over there shouted slightly: "Wu Yuanzhong, it's going to take off soon, are you coming?" ”
Wu Min hurriedly clenched his fists and apologized, and ran over to observe, only to see the young man's arms tied to a pointed wooden shelf, jumping down to the wind, his wings spread, like a big bird, flying down to the post.
A burst of cheers and cheers suddenly erupted on the high post, and even the literati in the distance stood on tiptoe to look this way.
Cheng Yi got up, leaned on crutches, and paced over. The scholars couldn't wipe their faces and came to see, but now that they have the steps down, they hurriedly helped Cheng Yi over and took a look.
In mid-air, the figure looked like a giant bat, slowly disappearing from view, turning into a black dot.
Everyone's hearts hung together, Cheng Yi had a pity on his face, and said: "The parents who suffer from the body dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety is also." The sage said that if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, how can he be easily put in danger, alas..."
Uncle Xu was slightly displeased, and frowned: "This gentleman, Brother Li Yang is completely sure that he can fly away with his whole body, why did the old gentleman curse him." ”
Cheng Yi himself didn't feel anything, just smiled and said: "If he can be safe, of course the old man is the happiest, but such an adventure is not good after all, I hope you friends can persuade him." ”
Cheng Yi's status is too high in the hearts of his disciples and grandchildren, although Xu Shuwei didn't say anything unpleasant, but there are already scholars who can't stand it.
"Who are you to dare to talk to Mr. Ikawa like this?"
Xu Shuwei is a proud person, he can resign as an official and the prefect can resign, and go home to study medical skills, how can he not have a little temper.
He stiffened his neck and didn't give an inch, and said, "Who am I, do I need to tell you?" ”
Wu Min hurriedly stepped forward, acted as a peacemaker, and pulled the two sides apart.
Cheng Yi said with a smile: "Today's gathering was originally a happy thing, so why bother with it, let's go back and continue." ”
As soon as he spoke, it was useful, and everyone gathered around him to return to the pavilion and continue to drink and feast.
After a while, the scholars seemed to have forgotten the group here, and they were all in high spirits when they raised their glasses and drank, and Taixue Chen Dong proposed: "Poetry is rare in the world, and the wine in the forest is even higher." Since the sages are all over, how can there be no poetry if there is wine, if everyone composes poems and harmonizes, what do you think? ”
The participants sang and sang again and again, and proposed that Cheng Yi should come up with the question.
At this time, Geng Nanzhong, a member of the Ministry of Rites, sighed: "Although the poems are good, there is an article here, and I want to invite you to taste it first." ”
"There is a new work coming out in Xidao, and the end of the study should be read by itself." Chen Dong took the article from his hand, looked down at it, and exclaimed: "This is on Cai Jing and Yang Lin's treacherous and evil performance!" ”
Everyone exclaimed, this is not the courage of the sky, but Chen Dong, who was holding the article in his hand, suddenly felt like a confidant, he had written to impeach Cai Jing, Yang Lin and Tong Guan four years ago.
He cleared his throat and began to read it in a low voice, to be honest, this recital is well written, but the content is very empty, and there is no trick at all, and it is all flattering and slandering the sages.
To overturn the case for Sima Guang and others on the monument of Yuan You's traitorous party, such a chapter was handed over to Zhao Ji, and he immediately had to roll up the cover and roll out of Bianliang, no wonder Geng Nanzhong had a difficult face.
Because Yuan You traitored the party, it was under the instruction of Zhao Ji, and Yang Lin and Cai Jing set out to do it.
In order to consolidate the legitimacy of Zhao Ji's throne, he expressed his determination to inherit his father's and brother's legacy and change the law.
I was able to read it vigorously here, but it annoyed a group of people opposite, Chen Dong's impassioned voice had just landed, and Wu Min, Cai Xuan, Yuan Tingzhi and others over there rolled up their sleeves and said angrily: "Insult my teacher, I will fight with you." ”
Uncle Xu couldn't help it for a long time, his uncle was scolded, and he felt that the fight was very reasonable, so he rolled up his sleeves and joined the battle group.
The scholars were so excited by this article that their eyes lit up, and they thought that the opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop had come.
As soon as you start here, it will become a group frame, and you will have a good feast.
Mr. Yichuan Cheng Yi, sitting in the pavilion, shouted twice: "Sven sweeps the floor, Sven sweeps the floor." ”
Suddenly, Cheng Yi, who was in his prime, passed away with his eyes wide open. This time basically coincides with the time of his death in later history.
Someone found that Mr. Yichuan had fallen to the ground, and immediately shouted in shock, and the people who were beating in the group also knew the reputation of this old gentleman, and they stopped one after another.
When the atmosphere was sad, Li Yang, who had just jumped off the cliff, happily went up the mountain and shouted: "I succeeded, I succeeded!" Haha, I'm not dead, I'm back alive. ”
"Huh? What's wrong with all of you? ”
