A heavy rain fell on the land of Nanchang, compared with other places, Jiangxi, which has been recuperating for the past two years, has finally regained a bit of prosperity, and the people are probably living and working in peace and contentment, and there is no need to worry about war and chaos at all.

However, even so, the occasional news from the north will still cause a sensation in the city, just like recently, the news has spread here, not only causing an uproar in the city, but also making Zhang Huangyan's mind in unprecedented turmoil.

King Huai is the heir of Emperor Xiaolie?

Zhang Huangyan's brows tightened, because the news came from Beizhili, so he preferred to believe that this matter was a rumor, after all, he had always been skeptical about Li Ziyuan's character.

"Now that such rumors are intensifying, will it cause trouble to Chengren?"

The soldiers came in to report that a young man had come to visit outside the door. Zhang Huangyan has always been humble and self-contained in receiving visitors, especially scholars. He gathered up his mood and ordered the herald to receive him immediately.

Behind the door, the man bowed dignified in front of Zhang Huangyan, and introduced himself without humility or arrogance.

"Late Liu Yidong visited Sima."

This "Sima" is the title of the secretary of the military department, and although Zhang Huangyan presided over Jiangxi, he still led the official position of the secretary of the military department of the Yongli Dynasty.

Seeing that Liu Yidong is quite young, about twenty-four or five years old, with a medium build, a slender face, two bright eyes, wearing a gray cloth coat and a square scarf. Although he was dressed plainly, he looked radiant, Zhang Huangyan admired such a young man the most, and said to Liu Yidong affectionately.

"Look up for a long time, don't be formal, please sit."

What Zhang Huangyan said was not polite, he had indeed heard of Liu Yidong's name in front of him, after all, Nanchang's Shilin is not big or small, and there are four major academies in Nanchang, and Liu Yidong is a famous talent in Yuzhang Academy. Now, Liu Yidong is here by himself, and he naturally seems very happy.

After Liu Yidong sat down generously, Zhang Huangyan asked.

"I heard that you are a descendant of Liu Wenduangong?"

Zhang Huangyan looked at Liu Yidong carefully, Liu Wenduangong in his mouth is Liu Yixiu, he has been Ming Shenzong, Ming Guangzong, Ming Xizong, Ming Sizong four dynasties, Xizong Dynasty early cabinet first assistant, Liu Yixiao is a native of Nanchang, the Liu family is also a member of Nanchang, in Nanchang massacre, only a few people of the Liu family survived, since then, the Liu family has also fallen.

"Back to Sima, Wen Duangong is the ancestor of the next family, the father is the youngest son of the ancestor of the family, when the Qing captured into the Kou, when the Nanchang was slaughtered, the father avoided the mountains, only to be spared, until a few years ago, only to go out of the mountain, fortunately Sima Ke returned to Jiangxi, so that my Jiangxi people will not be the slaves of the Qing captives."

Liu Yidong replied respectfully.

Seeing that Liu Yidong was articulate and spoke well, thinking that this person really deserved to be from a famous family, Zhang Huangyan nodded and smiled.

"Over the years, if it weren't for the support of the Jiangxi fathers and elders for Zhang, how could Zhang have been able to pacify Jiangxi, and he would have been bothered to convey the gratitude of the contemptible people to the Jiangxi fathers and elders on his behalf."

Liu Yidong hurriedly stood up, made a gesture, and said.

"Sima trained soldiers in Jiangxi, walked in Tuntian, never disturbed the people, and swept away the accumulated habits of Jiangxi officialdom to abuse the people, and cheered up the spirit of Jiangxi Shinong, such a meritorious deed, it can be said to be well-known, especially admired by the three hundred students of my Yuzhang Academy."

"I've won a prize."

Zhang Huangyan nodded, just smiled slightly, and did not look excited at all because of his compliment.

Liu Yidong sat down again, and then said,

"Late students recited yesterday "The West Seeks to Capture Kou Xuan", this writing is powerful and inspiring, and its role is no less than a thousand-person force. I hope that the northwest half of the wall will be determined by this piece of paper. ”

Liu Yidong's "Seeking Capture of Kou in the West" refers to the text issued by Zhang Huangyan three days ago, which is not so much an appeal to all parties to seek capture from the west as soon as possible in order to calm the world, but rather to suppress the growing rumor that "King Huai is the heir of Emperor Xiaolie".

"If it can be as it is said, it will be a blessing for the country and a blessing for all the people."

Zhang Huangyan, who knew the role of the text, just smiled helplessly, if the two feudal domains of Chu and Huai did not send troops, what was the use of the text?

""The West Conquers Kou Xuan" is good, but there is a big mistake in this. I don't know who wrote this article from Sima Mu, but Sima Ke ever noticed it? ”

Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, he had always believed that "ten steps of Ze, there must be fragrant grass; In the city of ten rooms, there will be loyal soldiers", not to mention that this person in front of him is a brilliant and talented man, and he must not be regarded as a secular concept, since he dares to enter the lobby to point out the mistakes of the inscription in person, he must have a study of the inscription. Zhang Huangyan, who was silent, touched his beard and said to Liu Yidong with a pleasant face.

""The Capture of the West" is just a hasty writing, there must be a lot of inappropriateness, please be frank and point it out."

Zhang Huangyan's politeness made Liu Yidong talk eloquently.

"The army sent out of the division and issued a crusade document, which boosted people's morale and has always been valued by the commander. Therefore, there is the "Tang Oath" of Tang Wang Vaji; And King Wu fell, and the "Thai Oath" was handed down, conquest of the guilty, and the punishment of heaven. During the Wu Tang Dynasty, Xu Jingye raised troops to attack Wu Cao, and Luo Bin Wang made "Seeking Wu's Tree" for him, which has been recited through the ages, and then became a generation of famous texts. Sima's "Fighting for Kou in the West" called on all the feudal domains in the world to gather troops to fight in the west to pacify the world, which will forever be recorded in history and is the first major event today. Since the day of its report, it has spread to thousands of households in Jiangxi Province, and has spread to the north and south of the river, and has been praised by the world, and it will be passed down like "Seeking Wu's Tree" in the future. But it's a pity that this article avoids the main reason why the captives sit in the northwest! ”

Zhang Huangyan was slightly stunned, and then understood what Liu Yidong wanted to say, his brows furrowed slightly, and he did not speak.

"I'm not afraid of Sima's blame, forgive the late life bluntly, today's four feudatories sit big, control the world's soldiers and horses, if the four feudatories can work together, how can the captives sit in the northwest, threaten the Central Plains, stealing that today's four feudatories centrifugal, is the reason why the captives sit in the northwest, and "The West Seeks to Capture Kou" does not mention anything here, so evasive, although it seems to be safe, but in fact, it is empty, how can the four feudatories not know the threat of the captives sitting in the northwest, but they all have selfish intentions, which caused the current situation to be like this. The text bypasses it, so that after reading it, people feel that this "Western Quest for Kou Xuan" is just a cliché, so what's the use? ”

Zhang Huangyan's brows furrowed slightly, Liu Yidong didn't seem to notice it, and continued.

"Actually, it is already a well-known fact that the four feudal domains in the world are big and the court is weak, if the four feudal domains are all private, even if Sima uses "The West to Capture Kou Xuan", how can he be willing to be driven by the court?"

Liu Yidong's words made Zhang Huangyan's brows tightened. He sat in his chair, squinting his eyes, and looked at the young man in front of him, who had just passed the weak crown. When he wrote the essay, it was not that he did not think of this, but it was not good to phrase it, so he deliberately avoided this issue and focused on maintaining the ethics of the monarch and the ministers.

"The four feudal clans are all loyal ministers of my Ming Dynasty, and their loyalty can be seen by the sun and the moon, how can they all be selfish? Regardless of national affairs? ”

Zhang Huangyan's tone was a little cold, although he denied it, even he felt that such a refutation was extremely weak.

"What Sima said is extremely true, although the four feudal clans are loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, but the loyal ministers also have their own differences, they are loyal ministers in the imperial court, but they are with each other, but they have their own selfishness, so how can it last?"

This time, even Zhang Huangyan himself can't refute it, this is a fact, the discord between the four feudatories is not a secret, even between him Zhang Huangyan and Chu Fan, there is also a deep gap.

"Takami. At a young age, I have such insight, and the future is limitless! ”

In the face of such praise, Liu Yidong immediately got up and thanked him.

Sima praised him like this, and it was a great honor to be born late. Please also ask Sima Ping to retreat, and there are still a few words of confidant to tell Sima in his later life. ”

Zhang Huangyan, who stared at Liu Yidong for a few moments, knowing that he must have something to say, nodded.

"Please come with me to the study."

After entering the study, Liu Yidong closed the doors and windows by himself, and said to Zhang Huangyan in a low voice.

"The reason why I came to meet Sima is because I want to give Sima a look!"

"Oh?"

Looking at Liu Yidong in surprise, Zhang Huangyan curiously glanced at the carton that Liu Yidong held in his hand, if he didn't guess wrong, it should be a calligraphy and painting.

"I don't know what I'm holding?"

"Actually, it's not a precious thing, this is the thing that Emperor Xiaolie gave to his ancestors, when the Qing Dynasty entered the city, when the father avoided in the mountains, although he didn't bring any other long things, lest this thing be destroyed by the captives, but he has always carried it with him......"

As he spoke, Liu Yidong had already taken out the calligraphy and painting from the cardboard box, and when Zhang Huangyan heard that it was given by the first emperor, his expression became extremely solemn, this was the first time he had seen the relics of the first emperor.

"During the Apocalypse, Wei Gelding was rampant, and the ancestor company commander begged to go, Xizong was helpless, so he agreed to resign and return to his hometown. In the early years of Chongzhen, the Wei Party was defeated, and the ancestors were reinstated. Later, the young master, the prince and the prince, the official department of Shangshu, and the scholar of the Middle Pole Hall ......"

Referring to his grandfather's experience, Liu Yidong continued.

"But most people didn't know that after Emperor Xiaolie ascended the throne and eliminated the eunuchs, he issued an order to summon his ancestors to the court, and he gave him a painting, which made the ancestors determined to return to the ......."

While speaking, Liu Yidong unfolded the scroll in his hand, and when the scroll was unfolded, looking at the unfolded scroll, Zhang Huangyan's face suddenly changed, and he said in shock.

"Ah...... This、This is! ”
