"Back then, you advocated the Northern Expedition, and you were willing to give advice with your life, and your heart was praiseworthy." Wei Liaoweng continued: "But everything should focus on the overall situation, Shang Qing cares about the country, but he doesn't know that he just said what others think, your proposition is coupled with Han Xiang, he was embattled at that time, made enemies everywhere, and urgently needed a victory to re-establish his prestige, so even if there is no strong advice from you, Han Yuxuan will also go on the Northern Expedition, your death advice is just a fuse, the real determination of the Northern Expedition, Han Xiang has already made up his mind, even if there is no you, the battle of the Northern Expedition is also to be fought, and the official family is moved by him and supports it." ”

Zhou Fuzi's lips squirmed, as if he wanted to say something, but Wei Liaoweng waved his hand and signaled him to listen: "I opposed the Northern Expedition at the beginning, not against the reconquest of lost lands. During the Jubilee period of Gain, the army had no unscrupulous generals and no sharp spirit, and there was no handsome talent under Han Xiang who could stand alone, so how could he fight the enemy? And in the forbidden army, there are countless vices of indiscriminate filling and false reporting of the number of soldiers, the military equipment is lax, and the morale is low, and the Jin soldiers are strong and strong, and the generals are fierce, what are we going to fight? ”

"The art of war is cloudy, knowing yourself and knowing that the other side will win all battles." When Wei Liaoweng said this, he became a little excited, he stood up and walked back and forth in the room: "Youyun, soldiers, murder weapons, don't move recklessly, move like thunder." If you are unprepared and rush to send troops, you will only suffer from it. Han Yuan committed a military taboo at the beginning, so he ended up being beheaded in the north. In my opinion, the Great Song Dynasty settled in the south of the Yangtze River, lost the Hetao, the northwest and the Youyun region, there was no place to raise horses, there was no source of soldiers, and if you want to map the Central Plains in the north and return to Beijing and Bianliang, there is no other way than to fight hard and slowly draw it. ”

He turned around a few times, and after saying this, he stood still, squinting at the bamboo forest outside the window, Zhou Fuzi nodded again and again, and echoed: "That's right, when Wei Weng was the prefect of the three prefectures on Tongchuan Road a few years ago, and raised the prison, he greatly raised military equipment and repaired the passes. ”

"How can national affairs be explained overnight? Plan and then act, think about everything, and be a person who determines the country. Wei Liaoweng sighed, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Now that history is quite political, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and we and other so-called celebrities of science can strengthen their momentum when he first takes office, and once the foundation is laid, it will be useless. ”

He waved his hand, laughed, and said, "What's the use of saying this?" Shang Qing, you came from afar, this is not where the temple is located, national events can be put aside, tea tasting is the right way, come and come, Shu is more handsome, you can tell me, what masterpieces have been made by talented people in Shu over the years? ”

Zhou Fuzi also laughed, just a little reluctantly, the two casually talked about some celebrity anecdotes, talked about some poetry and songs, drank tea and chatted, but it was also comfortable and comfortable.

Outside the window, the birds are singing and the wind is clear, the indoor two people sit opposite each other, the tea fragrance is overflowing, the book coupon is fragrant, and the conversation is gradually strong, the more you talk, the more you talk, the more energetic, the Sui and Tang Dynasties, a number of famous words have been said by the two of them, they are all full of learning, brilliant writing, speaking of the head is the Tao, omniscient and omniscient, the boy who added tea came and went several times, and the tea cup was drunk several times, and the two were not tired.

"By the way, Wei Weng, speaking of which, I live in Hezhou Mountain Village, teaching a few boys to learn words and read in my spare time, one of the twelve-year-old children handed in a homework, which is very good, I brought it over, at this time Wei Weng is here, why don't you take it out and ask Wei Weng to take a look?" Zhou Fuzi suddenly remembered something, put down the tea cup in his hand and smiled.

"Even if you are a disciple of Shang Qing, you must not be a vulgar thing, and it is inevitable that you can make a good work, please take it out and we will appreciate it together." Wei Weng said, he said it beautifully, but he didn't attach so much importance to it in his heart, a twelve-year-old boy is just that, how much talent can he have? A romantic figure like Da Song Ersu, the weak crown didn't have much reputation before, and the naughty boy in the mountain village, even if he was taught by Master Zhou, his talent was limited.

Zhou Fuzi got up, rummaged through his bag, took out a scroll, and handed it to Wei Liaoweng, who took it with a smile, slowly unfolded it, and looked at it.

"Drunk and down...... What a strange word card. Wei Liaoweng was slightly stunned at first sight, his smile did not change, and he continued to watch.

Zhou Fuzi picked up the teacup, sipped the tea slowly, and waited quietly.

Wei Liaoweng's breath paused for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, he carefully read the scroll a few times, chanted a few words in a low voice, his eyes lit up, and he read back and forth, before he put it down, looked at Master Zhou in surprise, and exclaimed: "This is made by a twelve-year-old boy?" ”

"Yes, Wei Weng is also amazing?" Zhou Fuzi put down the teacup and said with a smile: "When I first saw it, I was also shocked. ”

Wei Liaoweng looked incredulous, but he had to believe it, picked up the scroll, looked at it again, and said: "A twelve-year-old boy, can you make this kind of words?" Shang Qing, are you sure that's the case? ”

"It must be yes, the mountain village is full of farmers, there are not many people who can read, and there are no people who can write lyrics and poems, this child's father and mother are illiterate, and there will never be a gunman to write on his behalf, and there will be no mistake in what he did."

"There are a few cold mountains, and the wind is low and the Central Plains Road is broken...... Wonderful! Wei Liaoweng held the scroll, he couldn't put it down, that kind of cherished look, so that Changsun Hong saw it, but he was afraid that he would be ashamed: "The word is the top grade, and the content is even more top-grade, which alludes to the villain, Top Gun, the person who wrote this word has great ambitions and great ambitions." ”

He rolled up the scroll, carefully placed it on the desk, turned his head and asked Master Zhou, "What is your student's name?" ”

"The surname is the eldest grandson, the single name is a Hongzi, you may not believe it when you say it, he just followed me to read for two months, before that, Bai Ding was one, and he couldn't even write his own name."

"I can't even write my name,......" Wei Liaoweng was surprised again, and asked incredibly, "Can you write such words in two months?" Shang Qing, what method did you use to teach? ”

Zhou Fuzi smiled bitterly, and blushed a little embarrassedly: "Wei Weng, I'm ashamed, I live in a mountain village, and I have no intention of teaching, but for the sake of food, clothing, and clothing, I was entrusted by the big family in the village to teach him a few nephews to learn characters." This eldest grandson Hong, is the son of the village Baozheng, in the middle of the transfer to come, I did not teach with my heart, let them read at will, when he first came, there was nothing outstanding, on the contrary, a little dull, unexpectedly two months, suddenly enlightened the general wisdom, a thousand miles of progress every day, this lyrics, in fact, his own talent, and I have nothing to do with it. ”

"So this son must be a prodigy." Wei Liaoweng nodded suddenly, and knocked on the table thoughtfully: "The child suddenly opened up, there are precedents to follow, the so-called great wisdom is foolish, great ingenuity is clumsy, this is what it means, Shang Qing, your mountain village is despicable, and the literary style is not prosperous, if you leave this child there, it is a pity." ”

"What Wei Weng said is very true, I also think that this piece of jade still needs to be carved, such as being abandoned between the acres of fields, it is a pity, but it is a pity that his family is poor, there is no money and no things, and it is difficult to go to the county to study." Zhou Fuzi shook his head and sighed, although he was the former imperial history of the imperial court, he was attacked and degraded by political enemies, and the other party did a great job, and he didn't even have the usual salary for high-ranking officials after they left office, and he didn't have a penny income, otherwise he wouldn't have deigned to go to Li Xian's family as a western seat, and he was really down.

"It's a pity that I have no official position now, and I am demoted here, I really can't help it, so I can only count on Shang Qing to do his best to help him become a talent." Wei Liaoweng had no choice, he was demoted to Jingzhou, and he was not allowed to leave without permission, otherwise he would be breaking the law.

The two sat opposite each other, looking at the scroll on the long case, silent, silent for a while, Wei Weng opened his mouth faintly, and stood up: "I'll write a letter of recommendation, if this son is fateful, he can pass the exam, go to Beijing to catch the exam, and someone can receive him." ”
