Chapter 25, the way of vertical and horizontal, from the decline of Zhou

Yu Yi is Yu Liang's younger brother, thirteen years old, but his talent and understanding in calligraphy are deeply surprised and gratified by several brothers who are calligraphers - Yu Liang, Yu Bing, and Yu Yi.

Later generations said that the title of Yu Yi's book was once above Wang Xizhi, so there was "the name of the chicken" - why did my children and nephews go to learn Yishao's calligraphy? I clearly don't love chickens, I love pheasants. After a contest, he was convinced and thought that Wang Xizhi was "Bo Ying (Zhang Zhi) reborn".

Therefore, Yu Liang took the opportunity to return home in a hurry, discussed with his brothers, and immediately gave the thirteen-year-old Yu Yi a crown salute, with the word "Zhigong", asking him to follow Wang Xiyi to Guanzhong to visit Mrs. Wei.

Yu Yi didn't understand, so he said: "All brothers have a lot of calligraphy, and my brother hasn't learned it all, so why should he go to learn other things?" Yu Liang is angry and refuses to say it clearly, but Yu Bing doesn't care, and said bluntly: "Visiting the teacher to learn books is fake, and I want to be childish and respectful to the great Sima, and it is true to reserve a regression for my Yu family......."

Yu Yi said with a bitter face: "My brother is still young, so he really won't do such a thing." "Yu Bing said that it doesn't matter if you don't, you just need to follow Wang Xizhi to Chang'an, what will he do when the time comes, you will do the same, even if you can't please Da Sima, it can be regarded as a pre-state attitude, which is convenient for our next planning and arrangement.

Dozens of servants and subordinates were selected to accompany them, and two teenagers were carried on a large ship. The plan was to go up the river first, go to Wuchang to visit Wang Dun, and then turn into the water in Xiakou and go straight to Xiangyang; After crossing Xiangyang, you must abandon the boat and land, first go to Luoyang by land, and then go to Chang'an.

The boat trip did not stop for a day, the way was also peaceful, and arrived in Wuchang in a few days, Wang Xizhi and Yu Yi threw themselves to Wang Dun. If Yu Yi came alone, it was very likely that he would not be able to see Wang Chuzhong, because the Yingchuan Yu clan portal was low, and Wang Dun would not be able to look down on him at allβ€”not to mention that he was still a child who came to visit me; But with Wang Xizhi's presence, Wang Dun will never see the gift.

The two teenagers carried a large bag of letters around them, and they needed to be delivered everywhere along the way, which naturally included the letters from Wang Dao and others to Wang Dun. When Wang Dun saw the letter and learned of Diao Xie's plan, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, but he remained silent, continued to look at it, and then asked Wang Xizhi with a smile:

"It turns out that Yi Shao went to Chang'an to visit the Master and learn ......calligraphy," he pointed to the screen behind him: "Can't my calligraphy enter the eyes of Qing?" ”

Wang Xizhi looked at the text on the screen, and then arched his hand and said: "Uncle's calligraphy, rough and elegant like clouds, careful inspection is as hard as a knife, never like his person, it can be seen that my uncle's ambition is above the temple and between the fields." And the little nephew intends to be in the rivers and lakes, and I am afraid that he will not be able to learn from his uncle. ”

Wang Dun couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Mao Hong is actually cowardly, but the second child is ...... With a weak crown, the envoy took the risk and traveled far away. If you don't decide, why don't you ask me? My family sits in four states, tens of thousands of soldiers, and the brocade sails cover the sun, what is there to fear? ”

Why did the two young men of Wang and Yu go north, and how could they escape the eyes of his Wang Chuzhong?

But after the second boy resigned, Wang Dun urgently summoned his cronies Qian Feng, Shen Chong, and his brother Wang Han to come and send out Wang Dao's letter to discuss how to deal with the current situation.

Qian Feng arched his hand and said: "Congratulations to Ming Gong, congratulations to Ming Gong." ”

Wang Dun frowned and asked, "Shiyi congratulates me, why did you come?" ”

Qian Feng explained: "Today, the king is alienated from Mao Honggong, and dedicated Diao, Liu and other slanderous ministers, and carried out harsh and trivial policies, hurting the hearts of the northern and southern clans. It's just that Ming Gong is in Wuchang, but he can't interfere in the politics of Jiankang, and Mao Honggong is also burdened by Yu Yuangui, so he can't restrain Erfang.

"The so-called 'many injustices will kill themselves', now I heard that Diao Xuanliang wants to collect all the servants in the south of the Yangtze River, this move will inevitably cause a catastrophe, once the chaos starts, it is a good opportunity for the Ming Gong to make contributions. And if ......"

Speaking of this, he glanced at Shen Chong and asked him: "If the harsh government is in Wuxing, and the unknown people live in the countryside, what will happen?" ”

Shen Chong hesitated slightly, and then replied: "I will not dare to disobey the Ming Duke and resist the king, but I am afraid that the Zhou clan will be unstable." Although the former Zhou Za stopped Zhou Xian's rebellion, he actually concealed his dissatisfaction, but he was just deeply depressed. Once the edict is issued and the servant is released, Zhou Za will inevitably disobey the order, and it is even likely to set off a counter-flag ......"

Qian Feng said with a smile: "The so-called 'heroes of Jiangdong, Mo Qiang Zhou, Shen', whether Zhou Za rebelled or not, it is all in Shiju." ”

He immediately suggested to Wang Dun: "You can send Shiju to return to his hometown and provoke the Zhou family, if there is a Shiju false promise to help, then Zhou Za will rebel." The rebels attacked Jiankang in the north, and the defenders of Jiankang were not much, and Diao and Liu were just scholars, and they did not know the enemy, so they would summon Ming Gong to lead the army and trace the river to quell the rebellion.

"The Duke of Ming also hated Diao and Liu Jiuyi, and he did not dare to use troops suddenly, lest the king ask for help from the imperial court and issue an edict to crusade against him for the crime of vain military rebellion. Now Shi Le is in Xiangguo, between Jin and Zhao, there will be a big war after the autumn, Pei and Zu have no time to look south, and Zhou Shida has entered Hanzhong......

"And if there is an edict from the king, then the Ming soldiers will be willing to Jiankang, who is not suitable? Once he arrived in Jiankang, he could apply for the crimes of Diao and Liu, and force Wang Jian to get rid of his party. After resuming the harsh government, the envoy persuaded Zhou Za to dismiss the army, and Zhou Za responded. In this way, not a single soldier or soldier will be damaged, and great achievements can be made, traitors can be eliminated, and the name of the six states will be covered and the Central Plains will be heard. After that, the Ming Duke or stayed in Jiankang to assist the government, or paid the political affairs to Mao Honggong, and returned to Wuchang, then the six states in the south of the Yangtze River, the name belongs to the king, and it is actually owned by your family.

"Your family can unite the power of the six states, even if the imperial court destroys the land and unifies the northern land, it can only be restrained, so as to bring the mountains and rivers to the south forever. Isn't this the original intention of your family to serve the king's southward migration? It is a minister who is a minister and a congratulator. ”

When Wang Dun heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Shiyi's strategy is indeed clever, and it can turn misfortune into blessing, and it can be done because of the opportunity - Maohong can't see this, but makes the son go north and ask others for help, isn't it ridiculous?" ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Not to mention the conspiracy of Wang Dun, Qian Feng and others, it is only said that Wang Xizhi and Yu Yi stayed in Wuchang for three or four days, and then boarded the boat again, continued to go west, and traveled on the road to enjoy the mountains and rivers, which was also comfortable. After all, they are children who have never been far away, they are greedy for fun, and then there are family responsibilities on their shoulders, but the two of them not only do not cultivate themselves, but take it as a bitterness, in this case, it is better to loosen up a day is a day.

If he arrived in Xiangyang, Yu Yi said to Wang Xizhi: "I heard that there is Lumen Mountain in the southeast of the city, and there is Lumen Temple, which is a grand scenery there. ”

Wang Xizhi couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and asked: "Since the Cloud Temple, it must be the Temple of the Liberation Sect, what is there to see?" ”

Yu Yi said with a smile: "Brother, this temple is not the same as another temple. It is rumored that after the Han Dynasty Jianwuzhong, Emperor Guangwu and Xi Wen traveled in Liqiu, dreamed that Erlu came to pay homage, claiming to be the god of Suling Mountain, and then ordered Xi Wentong to set up a shrine in the mountain, and carved two stone deer clip ancestral hall road crossing - the mountain was renamed Lumen Mountain......"

Wang Xizhi asked puzzledly: "Since it is the shrine of the mountain god, why is it called a temple?" ”

The word "temple" originally refers to official houses, such as Honglu Temple, Dali Temple and the like. Later, Buddhism was introduced, from the Western Regions to the White Horse Sutra, the first stop at Honglu Temple, so the first Buddhist practice in Chinese history "White Horse Temple", in the name of the temple, gradually became a common practice.

Yu Yi shook his head and said: "When will it be changed to a Buddhist temple, but the little brother doesn't know ......."

The Wang family, especially the Wang Hui and Wang Zheng brothers, has always believed in Taoism, so they will rebel against the flow of the times and give their children and grandchildren double-character names, and the second word is "zhi" - such as Wang Shu has sons Yan Zhi and Yunzhi, Wang Hui has sons Hu Zhi and Qi Zhi, and Wang Bin has sons Peng Zhi and Biao Zhi; Further on, there is a large group of people named Wang, for example, Wang Xizhi has sons Xuanzhi, Ningzhi, Huizhi, and Xianzhi, Wang Huzhi has a son Maozhi, and Wang Qizhi has a son......

However, since the Pai corpse Pear Mi Duo was once stationed in Xi Jiankang, many children of the family began to be interested in Buddhism, and the Yu family was an important representative of it. That's why Yu Yi wanted to visit Lumen Temple, but Wang Xizhi had no special interest in it.

But since he heard Yu Yi say that Lumen Mountain and Lumen Temple still have such a secular allusion, which is not purely a Buddhist temple, and he wants to take the opportunity to delay the trip and not rush to Guanzhong, Wang Xizhi finally agreed to his companion's proposal. Who would have thought that when the two of them were visiting Lumen Temple, they unexpectedly met Sima Cheng, the Shou of Xiangyang County.

Sima Chengzi Jingcai, is the grandson of Sima Yi's sixth brother Sima Jin, the second son of Sima Xun, the king of Qiaogang, the first worship of the Che Du Wei, Feng Chao invited (Jin Yu clan often plus a certain Du Wei, and to the dismissal of the Feng Dynasty invitation), and later because of the merit of welcoming Emperor Hui Sima Zhen from Chang'an to Luo, he became a guerrilla general. He fled south during the Yongjia period, originally wanted to rely on the southern general Shanjian, but before he arrived, he died of illness and was forced to continue eastward, and finally arrived at Jiankang through Wuchang and entered Sima Rui's shogunate.

In the original history, after the fall of Chang'an and the capture of Emperor Sima Ye by Liu Yao, Sima Rui undertook to order Sima to succeed the heir of King Qian - his nephew, King Sima Di had already been killed by Shi Le in Ningping City, Kuxian County. But in this timeline, Sima Ye stayed in Luoyang well, and naturally it was not Sima Rui's turn to interfere in the affairs of the princes, and Sima Ye didn't seem to want to revive the family of King Qian, Sima Cheng was still just an idle clan.

Not long before that, Sima Rui worshiped Sima Cheng as the county guard of Xiangyang - this was Liu Kui's idea, and began to install the cronies of the king of Danyang in Wang Dun's territory, especially in the west of Wuchang. Therefore, Wang and Sima Cheng did not deal with each other very much, and Wang Dao did not have a letter to deliver to Sima Cheng, although Wang Xizhi and Yu Yi planned to pass through Xiangyang, they did not specifically order the two children to pay homage to Sima Cheng.

But who wanted to be on the Lumen Mountain Road, and met unexpectedly - Sima Cheng believed in Buddhism, and he came to incense. When the second young man saw the arrival of the county guard's car, he hurriedly gave up his hand to avoid the roadside, but was seen by Sima Cheng, so he asked left and right: "I saw these two sons, although they are young, but they have extraordinary manners and polite mannersβ€”are there still such characters in Xiangyang County?" ”

Are they my people? If so, and I, as a county guard, don't even know, but it's too dereliction of duty. Hurry up and call me over and ask, whose son is it?

When the two were summoned, they had to come forward to salute and report their names. When Sima Cheng heard that he was a child of the Wang family and the Yu family, he didn't like it, so he asked: "Although you are crowned, it seems that you are still in the prime of life, but you don't rely on the adults in the family in Jiankang City, why do you travel far away and come to my Xiangyang?" ”

The second son Gu Daobei petitioned the teacher. When Sima Cheng heard this, he ordered to take a pen and paper and let the two children read a few lines each.

He was originally quite arrogant, and he didn't get out of the car, but when he saw Wang Xizhi and Yu Yi's calligraphy, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and hurriedly held two pieces of paper in his hand, jumped out of the car, and sighed: "Why is the family of Haoyou, there are more such beautiful flowers!" Then he encouraged the second son, saying that you are very talented, you have such talent at a young age, and your future is limitless! This goes to Chang'an, and tens of thousands of good students ask Mrs. Wei for advice, and do not slack off, so as to revitalize the way of calligraphy.

That is, he traveled to Lumen Temple with the two teenagers, and returned to Xiangyang, talking about calligraphy and articles on the way, Sima Cheng loved the two even more. After three or four days of getting along, Wang and Yu took their leave, and Sima Cheng said to them: "On the day when Qing and the others return to Jiankang in the future, I have a word, please tell my uncles and brothers in the family - but the king is diligent and the family business is self-prosperous; The way of combining vertical and horizontal began at the time of decline. ”

Between your families, you pull relationships with each other and engage in vertical and horizontal affairs, which is not the intention of loyalty.

Wang and Yu were two teenagers who retreated, that is, they changed cars and went north to Luoyang. When I arrived in Luoyang, it was naturally a Quartet to submit a book - you must know that a considerable number of the bureaucrats in Luoyang City had fled to Jiangzuo in the past, and they were familiar with Wang Dao and Yu Xin - when they heard that they wanted to visit Mrs. Wei in the west, they were all the same as Sima Cheng, and compared their calligraphy, and the two young men moved Luo.

Even in the end, they were summoned by the Taiwei Xun group, Xun Taizhang said, you two children travel thousands of miles, and the adults in the family are relieved, which is truly incredible. In this regard, Xiong Xiaowen is about to go to Guanzhong, why don't you go with him.

Xiong Yuan, Xiong Xiaowen's predecessor, Peng Cheng's internal history, has made great achievements in office. When Pei should return to Luo, he had made a deal with Xun Group and others, expressing his willingness to recall Xiong Yuan first, and let the Henan Party pick someone to guard Pengcheng and receive copper and iron deposits, so a few months later, the imperial court issued an edict and transferred Xiong Yuan to enter the customs office.

Xiong Xiaowen naturally wanted to go to Luoyang first, pay homage to the Son of Heaven, and then set off for Guanzhong, so under the arrangement of the Xun group, Wang and Yu joined Xiong Yuan's ranks.

However, Xiong Yuan was not just a bureaucrat in the ranks, and there was Chen Yansi, who had just been dismissed from his post as the imperial historian.

Chen Hao is a native of Chen Guo, his hometown is in Ku County, like Xiong Yuan, his background is not high - of course, he is stronger than Xiong Xiaowen, who started as a slave - started from the county governor post, and later raised filial piety. The Central Plains was in turmoil, Chen Hao took refuge in Jiangzuo, and Xiong Yuan served in the Sima Rui shogunate, and then returned to Luo in the north and served as the imperial historian.

Xiong and Chen, who smell the same, are all "big-mouthed trolls" in a sense, who dare to say what others dare not say. Therefore, after serving as the imperial history, Chen Yansi repeatedly played and expressed his opinions on the governance of the imperial court.

If you are from a high family, you can just point to the east and west all day long, since you are born in a lonely and poor background, why don't you refuse to keep your mouth shut and do your job well? Serving the imperial historian to picket hundreds of officials, the court governs, and does the secret? It is true that everyone above the middle-level official has the qualification to express his opinion on the government affairs, but who do you look like you, who plays a small concert almost every three days, a big performance every five days, and always talks about a topic and chatters endlessly? Annoying is not annoying!

Therefore, I want to let it out, out of sight and out of mind. It happened that Xiong was far away in Luo, so he suggested to Chen Hao: "Da Sima Su can listen to the opinions of the group and choose the good and follow, why don't you go to Chang'an from me to seek a job?" ”

Chen Hao shook his head and said, "I once hated Da Sima, how can he use it?" ”
