Chen Tongfu's ambition has not been rewarded

You'an was depressed and visited Chengzhai

In the autumn of this year, Xin Qiji, who lived in Huangquan in Lead Mountain, received a bad news: Chen Liang, the new champion, died of a sudden illness before he took office.

At the beginning, Chen Liang was the leader of high school, and he was full of spirit and visited all the important ministers in Beijing. Then returned to his hometown, his younger brother Chen Chong went to the county border to greet him, the brothers hugged each other and cried, Chen Liang said happily, he could see the underground ancestors in the future.

After returning home, he led his wife and children to sweep the graves of his great-grandfather, great-grandfather, grandparents and parents. Then, he suddenly became ill and finally died, which can really be said to be the first to die before leaving the school, which made Ying difficult to tears. For this reason, Ye Zhengze made an epitaph for him.

After Xin Qiji learned from Ye Zhengze, he couldn't sleep all night, and tears couldn't help but flow. Get up, let Meimei grind ink and lay paper, and pick up the pen to make "Sacrifice to Chen Tongfu":

In the past few years, you and I have exchanged messages in Fujian and eastern Zhejiang, and you have come and gone, why do you suddenly fall ill and ruthlessly communicate with me? Brother Tongfu, the pain and sorrow in my heart cannot be expressed in words. From now on, can I still rest by the beautiful Goose Lake with you, drink the water of the scoop spring, sing poems and answers, and discuss the affairs of the world? Writing and composing, sending lovesickness from afar, knowing that sadness is useless, but tears still can't help but flow down, God, when will I see my good brother Chen Tongfu again!

The anguish of many days and the sorrow of today intersected to make him anxious, and he felt like an active volcano with countless energies, full of passion ready to erupt at any moment.

When the lady saw that he had not thought about tea and dinner for a few days, he became more and more emaciated, so she asked the maid to accompany him out for a leisurely walk. Without any purpose, he traveled south, and two days later, he arrived in Jishui County.

It suddenly occurred to me that since I arrived in Jishui, why not visit Mr. Yang Wanli Chengzhai.

I met Yang Wanli more than ten years ago. That year, Mr. Zhang Jingfu, a representative of the Huxiang School, died in Wuyishan, and the two met at the funeral.

Yang Wanli's knowledge and character left a deep impression on him. Yang Wanli, one of the four great poets of Zhongxing, at that time, people praised: Who is the master of today's poetry circle, and the poetry of Chengzhai is being implemented. The young man has great ambitions, and he promises himself with integrity and achievements. In his twenties, he was awarded the title of Ganzhou Sihu, and five years later, he was transferred to the lieutenant of Lingling County, Yongzhou, Hunan. At that time, Zhang Junqi, a famous anti-gold general and prime minister, lived in this county. Zhang was dismissed because he was preparing for the war against Jin and offended the traitor Qin Hui.

Yang Wanli has admired him for a long time, and after he arrived, he immediately went to visit, but Zhang Jun closed the door and thanked the guests, and devoted himself to studying, and when he went for the second time, Yang Wanli waited in front of his apartment for a whole day, and Zhang Jun was still missing.

There was no way, Yang Wanli transferred to Yuanzhou to visit Zhizhou Zhang Jingfu, that is, Mr. Nanxuan, who is known as the three sages of the southeast, although the two have never met before, but Yang Wanli admires his father's character and talent, and is sincere. Mr. Nan Xuan was deeply moved and wrote a letter to Yang Wanli for forward.

The third time he visited Zhang Jun, Yang Wanli asked his family to hand over Mr. Nanxuan's letter to him, and half an hour later, they were able to meet.

At that time, this famous minister was over the age of six, his beard and hair were all white, and he looked no different from the man next door, but his eyes were like torches, which made people respect him. The wind and dust are full of dust, it is difficult to hide the heroic spirit, the clothes are torn, there is no shabby state, he is talking about him.

One old and one young slowly got to the point, and the conversation was full of interest. When it comes to the characters of the Zhezong Dynasty, Zhang Jun is awe-inspiring, and Lang said:

During the Yuan Fu period, the high-ranking officials and nobles in the national dynasty, with purple waists, became tens or hundreds, but they were all inactive people, how many people can future generations remember? Only the names of Zou Zhiwan and Chen Yingzhong compete with the sun and the moon.

Shi Zai, Zou Hao, the end of the word Zhi, Shenzong Yuanfeng Jinshi, Zhezong, Ren Youzhengyan, Huizong, the official to the military department, Longtu Pavilion straight bachelor, for the official has always been honest and upright. Chen Qiang, the word Yingzhong, during the Zhezong Dynasty, served as the supervisor of the imperial history, and was famous for daring to give direct advice and not avoiding the powerful.

Then, he taught Yang Wanli that whether a person is an official or reading and lecturing, he must do four words: righteousness and sincerity.

Yang Wanli nodded yes, worshiped him as a teacher, and named the study at home Chengzhai.

In Hengzhou, not far from Yongzhou, there is also a well-known patriot. This person's name is Hu Quan, in the early years of Shaoxing, he had sparse Gaozong, accused Gaozong, opposed Qin Hui's peace, and asked the court to kill Qin Hui, Wang Lun and Sun Jin, but was removed from the edict, degraded Shaozhou, Guangdong, and changed to Hengzhou.

A few days ago, he specially visited Hu Quan, claiming to be a disciple, Hu Quan was very happy, and wrote an article for him called "Cheng Zhai Ji".

In a remote place, he met two virtuous ministers and listened to the teachings, which made the young Yang Wanli overjoyed, and proudly said to his friend, what is the joy of life, if you have two teachers in one day.

Later, he went out of Beijing to serve as the deputy envoy of Jiangdong, and then changed his knowledge to Ganzhou, and saw that his suggestions were repeatedly refuted, apologized and returned to his hometown Jishui.

Xin Qiji has never been to Jishui, and he doesn't know where Yang Wanli's family lives. went straight to the county government to inquire, and knew that the county was not there, and the county knew Xin's name, so he sent a messenger to lead the way.

Heroes meet each other and cherish each other.

The two first talked about Xin Qiji's "Ten Treatises on Mei Qin", and then talked about Yang Wanli's "Thousand Considerations", commenting on the pros and cons and speaking bluntly. Xin Qiji took out their "On Jingxiang's Upstream, Heavy and Sparse Land in the Southeast", and asked Tingxiu to comment.

Yang Wanli buried his head and read word by word. After reading it, he shouted loudly: It is beautifully written, worthy of being a hero who has made meritorious contributions to the enemy, and it is accurate and thoughtful. Then he asked, what is the result of this sparse performance? Xin Qiji shook his head in disappointment.

Then he said angrily: "Brother Tingxiu, try to look at the current government and the opposition, from the top to the important ministers and the common people of Limin, who still talks about restoration, where is there a decisive battle on the battlefield and people who resist Jin and recover?" ”

Yang Wanli felt the same way, so he recalled to Xin Qiji what he saw and felt when he was an envoy to Jinguo.

That was the first time he crossed the Yangtze River and crossed the Huai River. Seeing that the great rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty fell into the hands of the Jin people, and the people on both sides of the Huai River were separated from each other and could not come and go freely, I couldn't help but feel emotional. Swing pen wrote:

The boat leaves the sand on the shore of Hongze, and people are not in good sense to the Huai River;

Why bother that the Sang Qianfang is far away, and the north of the middle stream is the end of the world.

When I came back to Zhenjiang Jinshan Temple, I couldn't help but feel sad when I saw that the picturesque Jinshan had become a place for entertaining the golden envoys to cook tea.

Jiaoshan Mountain, Jinshan Mountain, Jinshan Paixiao South Douqi.

The sky will be three rivers and five lakes water, and make a river word Yangzi.

Come from the nine heavens, and pour out into the nine earths;

When Yue Yue is destroyed, every stone is broken.

Qiankun gathers his strength in this river, who dares to be a wave of calling?

Jinshan is a He Qiang, the upper independent river in the middle.

A spot does not dance with the sea breeze, and a gravel does not go with the tide;

There are no roots on all sides, and they jump out of the heart of the river.

The golden palace and silver are in the limelight, and the mallet drum hits the bell and hears Kyushu.

The poet stepped on the snow to travel, and the wind blew on the Qiong Tower.

Don't drink jade boats for floating jade.

Shame on Oebata! Jin Shanduan's sorrow!

Xin Qiji's face was solemn and worried. Tell Yang Wanli what he is worried about: Brother Tingxiu, the whole dynasty is up and down, blindly indulging in peace, and stealing a living, once the foreign enemy raises troops, how can the Great Song Dynasty stop it?

Yang Wanli also said bitterly, the consequences are unimaginable, but what can I do except for my enthusiasm.

Brother You'an, do you know what those powerful people in the court are doing today?

I don't know much, you can tell about it.

After the throne of Guangzong Zen, King Gong ascended the throne, young and unassertive, and let the ministers fight. At first, Prime Minister Zhao Ruyu was in power, and Zhu Xi was also invited into the palace, and a group of literati and scholars were selected. Only three months later, it changed again, and Han Yanxuan of Zhigemen gained power, accusing Zhao Ruyu of stealing the phase with the clan, threatening the imperial power, and the prime minister, and the emperor Zhu Xi was also thrown out, and Zhao's group impeached Han Yanxuan, saying that they used the convenience of their relatives to incite the emperor, disrupt the court, fight back and forth, and become a miasma.

You mean Han Qi's descendant, Han Yanxuan?

yes, you know.

I have seen two sides, but I have no deep friendships. I can't see that he is a sinister and cunning person.

I don't know, I just know that he is a son of a wealthy family with no background, even if his character is fine, but how can his knowledge and talent be compared with Zhao Ruyu?

Brother Tingxiu is right, whether it is a clan relative or a relative, what is the benefit of fighting back and forth? Have the true colors to fight with the golden man!
