Section 369 Speaking of the sword

Wu Sangui turned his head and saw Li Yan standing behind Ji Qingwen, knowing that he was also a teacher and friend with Ji Qingwen, so he also flattered him: "I just don't know if Mr. Li is used to eating or not eating these crude foods here." ”

Li Yan still likes Wu Sangui's bold personality very much, so he also joked with him and said: "General Wu is a human being, and I am also a human being, why can't I eat what General Wu can eat?" Could it be that General Wu is scolding me for not being human? ”

Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It's not!" Mr. Li is clever, of course you are not a human, you are a living immortal. ”

While talking, Wu Sangui greeted Li Yuanyin and Huang Degong, who were accompanying him, and invited them to go to the Shanhaiguan City Tower together. ”

Ji Qingwen glanced at Li Yan, then turned his head to Wu Sangui and said, "Speaking of this wall, I am talking to Brother Li about this matter. ”

"Oh?" Wu Sangui asked with some curiosity, "Could it be that Mr. Li found that there are still things worth improving here?" If there really is, please don't hesitate to give advice, if there is really merit, it will be rectified in the end. ”

Li Yan hurriedly said: "General Wu, don't listen to Brother Ji's nonsense, I am a weak scholar who doesn't understand military affairs at all, and I can't understand the fortification arrangements here at all, let alone give advice or not." I'm talking to Brother Ji about the sword! ”

As soon as he heard the words "talking about the sword", Wu Sangui suddenly became interested again, and said: "Speaking of swords, I really got a few good blades before. There are some made by the Japanese countries, some by the Western countries, some commonly used by the Arab nobles, and many of them are made by skilled craftsmen of the Celestial Empire. If Master Ji and Mr. Li are interested, I'll take a few of them over to take a look. ”

Li Yan covered his mouth and smiled: "General Wu is mistaken, I didn't talk to Brother Ji about these swords of yours, listen to me slowly." ”

I only heard Li Yan shake the folding fan and said slowly: "Zhuangzi said that there are third-class swords in the world, and the first class is the sword of the Shuren - the sword of the Shuren, with an unkempt head and a hanging crown, a manhu tassel, and a short coat, which is difficult to speak; Hit each other in front, cut off the neck collar, and cut the liver and lungs, the sword of this Shuren is tantamount to a cockfight, once the life is extinct, there is nothing to use for state affairs. ”

Wu Sangui frowned and said, "What does Mr. Li mean, do you mean that I use all the swords of the Shuren?" ”

Li Yan was a high-spirited scholar, and nodded, which was considered to be certain.

But Ji Qingwen considered that Wu Sangui's temperament was also quite arrogant, and hurriedly said: "In fact, in these years, it is very rare to have a sword in your hand. I see that more than half of the civil and military generals in the court are holding fake swords for singing and fighting, and I am afraid that even cutting a piece of tofu will be curled. ”

When Wu Sangui heard this, he was happy before he had time to get angry, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Mr. Li means this!" These swords in my hand are not used to support the faΓ§ade, every bite has been on the battlefield and killed the enemy! ”

Li Yan said: "General Wu is not busy, above the sword of the common people, there is also the sword of the princes - the sword of the princes, with the warrior as the edge, the honest and honest as the spine, the virtuous and virtuous as the spine, the loyal saint as the sage, and the heroic warrior as the clip." This sword has no front, no top, no case, and no side; The upper law rounds the sky to shun the three lights, and the lower law is to shun the four times, neutralizing the public opinion and securing the four townships. This sword is used, like a thunderous shock, within four seals, all of them obey the king's orders. ”

Wu Sangui listened to Li Yan's introduction, his eyes couldn't help but shine, and said: "I see, Mr. Li's statement, that is the real way to use the sword." If you have the sword of the princes in your hand, why do you need a sharp weapon, the people of the world will naturally use it for you. Oops! Listening to Mr. Li's words today is better than reading a book for ten years! ”

Li Yan couldn't help but be happy when he heard these heartfelt sycophants, and said: "General, praise slowly, above the sword of the princes, there is also the sword of the Son of Heaven!" ”

"Sword of the Son of Heaven! There is actually the sword of the Son of Heaven! Wu Sangui almost exclaimed, "What is the sword of the Son of Heaven?" Please also ask Mr. Li to teach me quickly! ”

Ji Qingwen, who was on the side, couldn't help but get nervous when he heard this-he finally remembered that this Wu Sangui belonged to a "born with a backbone in the back of his head" in history, in addition to rebelling against the Ming Dynasty and becoming a traitor, he rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and established himself as the emperor...... The current Wu Sangui is still a loyal minister and good general of the Ming Dynasty, if he is enlightened by Li Yan, he will really become a big traitor, a big warlord, and a big villain in the future, it will not be good.

Just when Ji Qingwen wanted to open the topic and interrupt Li Yan's words, Li Yan had already gushed down: "The sword of the Son of Heaven takes Yan Yu Shicheng as the front, Qi Dai as the spine, Jin Wei as the spine, Zhou and Song as the fang, and Han Wei as the clamp; Wrapped in four Yi, wrapped in four times, around the Bohai Sea, with Changshan; The system is based on the five elements, and the criminal virtue is discussed; Open with yin and yang, hold with spring and autumn, and line with autumn and winter. This sword is straight and unstoppable, supreme, case-in-the-bottom, unlucky, up to the clouds, and down to the Jedi. This sword is used, and the princes of Kuang are obeyed by the world. ”

Hearing this, Wu Sangui was already full of red light, and said, "What a sword of the Son of Heaven!" What a sword of the Son of Heaven! I will use such a sword of the Son of Heaven in the future! ”

Ji Qingwen was shocked when he heard this, and was about to explain, but he heard a loud shout from behind him: "Okay, you bear child, what are you talking nonsense!" There is no one on the mouth, be careful to be heard, ask you a big disrespectful crime! ”

Everyone hurriedly looked back, but saw a middle-aged man supporting an old man who was slowly walking towards the city tower.

Seeing this, Ji Qingwen hurriedly stepped forward to the first two parts, and said deeply to the old man: "It turns out that the teacher has arrived, and the student has missed the distance, what a sin......

The old man was physically strong and energetic, and grinned: "Okay, you dog, you invited the old man to come all the way from Daling City, but he hid in the Shanhaiguan and chatted with Sangui nonsense, and I didn't know how to come out to greet the old man and see how the old man punished you!" ”

It turned out that the old man who came upstairs was the old supervisor Sun Chengzong who Ji Qingwen made a special trip to Shanhaiguan to see this time, and the middle-aged man who supported Sun Chengzong was Wu Sangui's father Wu Xiang.

Although Sun Chengzong is old, has old qualifications, and has high merits, he is very casual and often jokes with Ji Qingwen.

Therefore, Ji Qingwen also knew his master's temper, and said with a smile: Accept punishment, admit punishment, and the student accepts punishment. Why don't you fine yourself 30,000 taels of silver, and then send ten Western muskets with the highest number to the teacher, so that the teacher can use them to reward meritorious soldiers? ”

Sun Chengzong laughed when he heard this: "Okay, good, you punished well!" There are so many things, when will you send them over, say hello in advance, and I will arrange for someone to move it, old man! ”

Ji Qingwen said: "The teacher has a lot of opportunities, how can such a small thing bother the teacher?" I'll send it to Shanhaiguan and let Mr. Wu's father and son receive it on their behalf? ”

Sun Chengzong also smiled: "Don't, this won't work." The two fathers and sons of the Wu family are not fuel-efficient lamps, and their military salaries will be enough, if they see so much silver, they have to scrape a layer of skin first? ”

Wu Xiang hurriedly said: "Old Inspector, what are these words, other silver has hit me here, I may dare to hold a little, but Teacher Sun's money, how dare I do it?" What's more, it was given to the old superintendent by Lord Ji. ”

As he spoke, Wu Xiang changed his words and scolded his son Wu Sangui again: "Look at it, Lord Ji is not a few years older than you, and he is now the earl of the emperor." Look at you again, the hair on your mouth hasn't grown yet, but you have learned to brag, what is the sword of the Son of Heaven? Is this something you can pull off? ”

Wu Xiang's scolding couldn't convince Wu Sangui, so he only muttered: "What is the title of knight?" I can't imagine that I will be crowned king in the future! ”

When the people present heard this, they were all stunned - since Liu Bang's "White Horse Oath" in the Western Han Dynasty and the 100 officials of the imperial court agreed that "non-Liu shall not be crowned king", China's serious unified court rarely gives the opposite sex a king, and even if the king with a different surname is entitled, it often does not end well-now Wu Sangui is really a little unlucky to say such things......

But Ji Qingwen had something else to think about: You must know that Wu Sangui, in history, was really crowned the king, but it was not the current Ming Dynasty that sealed him, but the Qing Dynasty after that, and the title given to Wu Sangui - is the famous King of Pingxi in the Qing Dynasty!
