Gengzi summer.

Huangchao has 150,000 people, and Cao Quanhui has a lot of killings with his 6,000 people. Outnumbered, retreat to Tunsi, so as to wait for the armies to arrive, and strike at them. And Gao Biao didn't save him, and the thief struck the whole body and broke it.

Huangchao fell into Shenzhou, and then entered the realm of Ying, Song, Xu, and Yan, and the people fled to collapse.

"Zizhi Tongjian" Sima Guang

。。。。。。。

When the Taiping army led by Zhou Huai'an of more than 8,000 people entered the territory of Tanzhou and was about to board the ship to Jiangling, Bo Guo Yan, who was in charge of local civil affairs and Tuntian affairs, came to report on his work, but he was presented with unexpected news by the way.

"There are descendants of Yan Lugong to vote, what is the situation."

Zhou Huai'an couldn't help but pause for a moment, and then came back to his senses The so-called Yan Lugong should refer to Yan Zhenqing, who was the prime minister and was awarded the title of Lu Guogong, and Yan Tiliu is a milestone in the history of Chinese calligraphy. But then he inquired in detail, and he realized that the person he was hosting had made a mistake.

Strictly speaking, it is Yan Zhenqing's brother - Yan Gaoqing's descendants. Compared with Yan Zhenqing, who has served as a prime minister in the five dynasties, whether it is calligraphy or literary achievements, this is a benchmark for generations of loyal martyrs in a sense.

During the Anshi Rebellion, he and his son Yan Jiming guarded the Changshan Mountain, guarded the plains from his younger brother Yan Zhenqing, and designed to kill Li Qincoo, the general of An Lushan, and capture Gao Miao and He Qianqian. Seventeen counties in Hebei responded. The frightened An Lushan hid in the palace of Luoyang, crying and repenting in tears to the ministers.

As a result, Su Zong ascended the throne in Lingwu and ordered all the military horses in the world to gather around King Qin. Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, who had already invaded the Central Plains, had to lead their troops back to stand for Xinjun; As a result, these righteous military and civilian officials in Hebei became tragic.

Under the abandonment and flight of the guards from all over the country, in the fifteenth year of Tianbao, the rebels besieged Changshan and captured Yan Jiming first. Soon the city was broken, and Yan Gaoqing was escorted to Luoyang. He scolded An Lushan angrily, and was finally killed by pulling out his tongue, dismembering and throwing himself into flames on the Tianjin Bridge in Luoshui; waited until Suzong recovered the two capitals, and then posthumously presented Yan Gaoqing as the crown prince and Taibao, and the name was Zhongjie.

Wen Tianxiang's "Song of Righteousness" has a saying: "For Zhang Suiyang's teeth, for Yan Changshan's tongue." However, what is more well-known in later generations is an allusion and public case left by Yan Zhenqing for his son.

Because more than 30 people, including Yan Gaoqing, were killed, only the eldest son Yan Quanming was detained by Taiyuan Yin Wang Chengye because he sent the watch to the court, but survived afterwards; At that time, Yan Zhenqing was the assassin of Puzhou, so he ordered Yan Quanming to go to Hebei to visit his lost relatives.

Among them, it was found that his sister's daughter was in the hands of traitors, and one of Yan Quanming's daughters also fell into the hands of thieves, and they all had to ask for a reward of 30,000 yuan. Yan Quanming raised all the expenses and ransomed his aunt's daughter back. When he went to ransom people again, his daughter was gone.

When Yan Quanming found the skull of his younger brother Yan Jiming and part of the bones of his father Yan Gaoqing, and held it to Yan Zhenqing, Yan Zhenqing was sad for a while, and studied ink and paper, and wrote down a calligraphy work with great affection - "Sacrifice Nephew Presents Praise Doctor Ji Mingwen":

Although there are more than 30 alterations, the posture is horizontal, the spirit is flying, vigorous and majestic, gloomy and vigorous, completely different from the beautiful and charming style of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and is known as the "second line of books in the world" after the "Lanting Collection Preface".

However, because the true copy of Lan Tingxu was buried in his own Zhaoling by Tang Taizong, a calligraphy lover, there are only a bunch of copies of famous masters left; Therefore, this draft left behind by burning the text is in essence the world's first calligraphy work.

It's just that Zhou Huai'an thought that more than a thousand years later, on that small island by the sea, there was a turtle son left behind by a group of preserved fruit dogs, and gave this thing to the neon and powerful waste; It's better to be captured and burned now, and leave an inspiring memory and legend behind.

One of the most famous accusations is that "the thieves do not save them, the lonely city is besieged, the father is trapped, the son dies, and the nest is overturned." Isn't it the best portrayal of the civil war in later generations, the layman in the foreign war, and the pit regime of all kinds of pig teammates who pit their own people.

And the one who came to defect is obviously from Yan Quanming's branch, called Yan Rang. Of course, as the son of a loyal minister and martyr, this Yan Quanming is also composed of a husband-like figure who has both responsibility and integrity; Although there is a prime minister from the father; But he was a very honest official during his lifetime.

Almost all the income of a lifetime is used to redeem and support those families of non-commissioned officers who followed their father's death, and hundreds of people have been worshiped until the last moment of their lives, which can be called another moral benchmark in the true sense of righteousness.

Although the current Jing Zhaoyan clan has declined and fallen, the moral benchmark set by the father and son, like that Zhang Zhongcheng, is still particularly praised by the world; Not to mention that their ancestors were the first disciples of the saints of the Eight Classics, and as a sub-saint, they were enshrined by the side of Confucius in the main hall of the Confucian Temple.

If someone openly turns their backs on the imperial court and joins the Taiping Army, even if it is used as a temporary means of self-flaunting and follow-up propaganda, it is also a very beneficial and shocking material.

"Then how can we prove the identity of this person, and not lie about it."

Thinking of this, Zhou Huai'an was not in a hurry to make up his mind.

"He claimed to have brought the family heirloom "Sacrifice Nephew Post", and he would like to ask the army to send someone to appreciate it.

Guo Yan, who seemed to be confident, immediately responded.

In an instant, Zhou Huai'an choked on a gulp of alcohol in his throat and spit it out violently; This. What is the situation here, the world's first and second calligraphy book and national treasure "Sacrifice Nephew Post", just sent to the door by himself? It's like a dream.

For this reason, Zhou Huai'an also decided to make an exception to meet the visitor. Later, in the state government of Tanzhou, Mi Bao, the chief of Yu, brought people in.

"In the lower Yan She, Jing Zhao people's clan. Because of the change in family background, I have no choice but to seek refuge under the command of nobles. ”

I saw that the other party was born like a thin bamboo pole and his clothes were tattered and ugly, and his face was full of sorrow, and he cowered and bowed his hand.

Well, this name can't help but remind Zhou Huai'an of the two delicate faces that were put together in the car not long ago, and they were really suitable for the situation.

"Now that the Han family is scattered, only this thing is left as an idea, just ask the noble master to make people copy and appreciate, don't have the idea of forcibly grabbing again; Otherwise, I'd rather go with it. ”

The visitor continued to speak pleadingly.

"Oh, is there such a reason? My Taiping Army takes it as its own responsibility to help the people, and hates the things in the world that are forcibly plundered, so I should allow you. ”

Zhou Huai'an became interested all of a sudden, and slightly increased his evaluation of the visitor.

Immediately made up to himself, is this still the inside story of having to go out to the thief to protect the coveted heirloom for the descendants of the Yan family. This is another propaganda subject used to rate the darkness and decay of the imperial court.

You see that even the Yan clan after the full family of loyal martyrs was forced to helplessly, and could only bring heirlooms to the thieves, doesn't that mean that the qi of the dynasty where the Mandate of Heaven is located has been deflected to our camp one after another.

At least for most ordinary people who are ignorant, blind, and have limited knowledge, and need to be subtly transformed to awaken, they are very addicted to this set of mystic things such as gods and monsters, "Qi Number" and "Mandate of Heaven".

Then Zhou Huai'an called the consultant of the same company, and the middle of the class to come over and taste it together. At least Zhou Huai'an doesn't have any discernment for this kind of thing; At most, he can only appreciate the old man who writes Spring Festival couplets on the street, whether the calligraphy is good-looking or not.

After all, all poets who are a little famous in this era must have good calligraphy skills. The reason is very simple, it can be said that the text carries the Tao and the words are used to learn from people; Otherwise, when you post and publish your masterpiece, you won't be able to see anyone or be slapped in the face on the spot and thrown back.

It's a pity that Pi Rixiu, Tortoise Meng, or Qiu Yan, Fan Hui and others who are contemporary celebrities are not here. Of course, there is no need to let them put down their tasks and rush over for a special manuscript.

However, after seeing the things on this yellowed silk paper roll, Xuzhong was of course amazed and shocked for a while; However, for the sake of being more cautious, it is also a self-admitting calligraphy appreciation that is actually insufficient, and it is difficult to make a proper judgment on this second line of calligraphy in the world.

Therefore, Xuzhong recommended an old friend and fellow disciple for Zhou Huai'an, who is also a famous contemporary poet monk and painting monk, and now happens to live in Longxing Temple in Jingzhou.

According to the introduction of the void: it is said that this common surname Jiang, the word Deyin, a native of Lanhuo, Wuzhou, was ordained at the age of seven in Lanxi and Anji Temple; As an adult, he traveled extensively, traveled all over the world, and traveled extensively with monks, scribes, and eunuchs from all over the world; Since then, he has traveled with imaginary people and grown up to be friends for more than ten years. Later, he was transferred to the Quanjiao Temple on the bank of the Fuchun River in Tonglu County, Yuezhou;

However, just a few years ago, because of his poetry and satire, he offended Cui Miao, the then Yuezhou assassin and the observer of eastern Zhejiang; Fang was driven away from the local area, and since then he has gone up the river to Jiangling to place orders, and he has also visited the grass house in Yuanzhou.

It is said that he learned the cursive script of the Sanskrit calligrapher Huaisu monk since he was a child. This Huaisu monk is the great-great-grandson of the book saint Wang Xizhi, and there is also a "Huaisu Sticker" in the world; The treasure of Tang Taizong's funeral, "Orchid Pavilion Preface", was sent to Xiao Yu, a minister who was also proficient in calligraphy, to deceive him by force on the grounds of copying.

As a result, his calligraphy skills, which he has been immersed in for decades, are equally outstanding; Not only is he proficient in the Xingcao and Wild Grass inherited by the Wang family, but he has also studied the equally famous Yan Tiliu characters, and even copied similar works of Yan Lugong in Jingzhao.

It's just that it has always been covered up by more achievements and fame in poetry, calligraphy and painting; Therefore, if he can be asked to identify this "Sacrifice Nephew Post", it is undoubtedly more stable.

However, this is obviously another historical celebrity that Zhou Huai'an knows. Mainly because he left more than 500 works in Tang poems, including the sentence "The house is full of flowers and drunk with 3,000 guests, and the sword is frosty and cold in 14 states." It is also often cited as a mantra for brushing up on the Internet.

In addition, as candidates recommended by the virtual middle school to appraise the manuscript, there are also Qi Ji, Shang Yan, Gu Qichan and other figures who happen to be located in Jingnan, Hunan, and Jiangxi, and they all have in common that they are all people in the poetry and calligraphy circles who are slightly famous in the world;

Among them, Qi Ji claimed to be the madman of Hengyue Shamen, Shang Yan was a monk who became a monk in Jingmen, and Gu Qichan, a native of Dongting, was a Taoist priest who was famous for his sound rhythm. For a time, it was simply the three religions of monks, Taoism, and Confucianism all living together. And in his words, as long as there is this "Sacrifice Nephew Post" that can be tasted, at least there is no need to worry that they will not come.

And Zhou Huai'an also assured that if they were really within the expected level, it would not be a problem for them to open a special discipline and training course for calligraphy and art.

This is the so-called reason that after the corresponding power position and general trend are in place, if the heroes and handsome people in the world want to come out, they will naturally gather like a magnet.

It's just that Zhou Huai'an feels that after he is used to role-playing the identity of a monk, he seems to have involved and attracted the likes of famous monks in the world in disguise.
