On the fifteenth day of the first month of the seventh year of Zhenghe, it snowed heavily in Chengdu.

This Lantern Festival night snow, but also the world's scenic spots, at this time in the Chengdu Jade Bureau View, Huang Jie and Shizun Zhu Taozhi two people sit in the warm pavilion in the view, two junior brothers Liu Meng and Yu Chitai, one to study ink, one to make tea.

I only heard Zhu Taozhi drink a sencha, and then he also said in a deep voice: "The place where the relics are drunk and sung, Yemei Guanliu West Suburbs Road." In the Huayang edition, there is still Chengnan Du. I want to return to the Wanli Bridge, the water splashes and the wind and leaves are twilight. Who can exhaust the taro ruler, alder has been burned for three years. What is the hundred-year-old wind madness, and the envy of the king is now Emeisuo. Even if the family is not born with a halberd, he should also be buried in the world. Don't bully the old and sick before returning, the jade bureau is the first few people. will wait for Ziyou to clear and prosper, and he must go to find the king on a snowy night. ”

Huang Jie studied in the Jade Bureau for three years, and naturally knew that this poem "Sending Dai Meng to Chengdu Jade Bureau Guan General Lao Yan" was written by Su Shi, this poem was written in the eighth year of Yuanfeng (1085), when Su Shi's friend Dai Meng was involved in the case of the Yuanyou Party, was sent to Chengdu Jade Bureau Guan, and was appointed to the post of promotion. The so-called promotion is also the "palace view envoy", this kind of position only receives money and has nothing to do, which is actually a method of preferential treatment for ministers.

But you must know that in the first year of Yuanfeng, Dai Meng once knew Jinzhou as a Shangshu Duguanlang, and now he was sent to Chengdu Yuju Guanguan, which is 3,000 miles away from Bianjing, to be promoted, saying that it was a relocation, but it was actually no different from exile. Therefore, Su Shi made this long poem to say goodbye, and the sadness and indignation in it penetrated the back of the paper.

However, Su Shi's poem to send an old friend was made soon after he was unlucky, and even in the second year of Yuan Fu, Su Shi was also awarded the Chengdu Mansion Jade Bureau View Promotion, his old gentleman learned the news, not angry but happy and wrote a thank you table (see "Su Shi Anthology" Volume 24 "Lifting the Jade Bureau View Thank You Table"), so Su Shi also earned the name of "Dongpo Jushi" in Huangzhou, and earned the next name, called "Jade Bureau Weng".

After listening to Zhu Taozhi chanting this poem, he looked at Huang Jie with a smile and said, "Disciple, apprentice!" Back then, you had to study in the Jade Bureau, and it was a coincidence that you were only a teacher, but now that you want to come, it is not a coincidence. You were originally from Huangzhou, but you came to Chengdu to study, and if you think about it, both places were the places where the Su family was deposed back then. ”

Huang Jie listened, but said with a wry smile: "Master, how could the apprentice have such a ability at that time, it was really just a mistake!" ”

Zhu Taozhi shook his head, motioned for Liu Meng to renew the lamp with him, and said: "You can also succeed by mistake, even if you have a few days!" Now that the three-year period has arrived, what are the plans for the apprentices? ”

Huang Jie also smiled: "Naturally, I want to go back to Huangzhou to take the exam, and I don't have to worry before I want to come to the palace to take the exam!" ”

When Zhu Taozhi heard this, he also laughed and said: "The protégé of the Su family is like a cloud, and there are Gao Yu and Liang Shicheng in the court to protect you, even if you pass the palace test, it is easy, where does the worry come from?" ”

Huang Jie also replied solemnly: "The main worry is in the northeast, the gold lord A bone to destroy the Liao has become a trend, every time I look at the mansion newspaper, I see that it is thousands of golden soldiers to break tens of thousands of Liao soldiers, and now it is even more like what the disciples saw in the dream, my Huanghuang Song Dynasty actually sent envoys to Lianjin to destroy Liao, and made an appointment to attack the Liao Dynasty, which is very worrying!" ”

Zhu Taozhi also nodded and said, "Not bad!" At the beginning, the disciples of Senior Brother Luo couldn't stab him in every way, and now it has become the climate in just a few years, although he knew that the number of days was like this, and now the teacher seems to be shocked, and the situation in the world is really as you said back then, this is also the main worry. ”

Huang Jie also continued: "The second worry, but in Jingdong and the southeast, if the dream seen by the disciples is not bad, there will be civil chaos in both places in the next few years. Among them, the southeast is the worst, and the leader of the rebel army called Fang La may destroy the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, and lay the seeds for the defeat of the Northern Song Dynasty in the future. It's a pity that in the past few years, the disciples have never found any trace of Fang La, so they are even more uneasy, for fear that there will be any variables. ”

Zhu Taozhi stretched out his hand to brush his beard, but said: "Since it is a number of days, it is not easy to change, in terms of Taoism, there is an arrangement in the dark!" ”

Huang Jie also nodded and continued: "So, in the past three years, in addition to studying hard day and night and practicing martial arts diligently, the apprentice has also been thinking about the matter of these days, and now he has some experience. ”

Zhu Taozhi listened, then reached out and drank the sencha in the tea cup, and said with a smile: "Oh! Let's talk about it and listen to it as a teacher! ”

Huang Jie also smiled: "The number of days is also divided into knowable and unknown, and what can be known can naturally be changed, but you have to find the right way." Just like the apprentice's home, the original family was already surrounded by four walls, and the apprentice taught the food learned in Qimeng to his father, and then his father and mother bothered to operate, and now they have also achieved a family business. Therefore, I also understand that what can be known can be done by man, but it can also be changed. ”

Zhu Taozhi naturally knew the situation in Huang Jie's family at the beginning, and also agreed with this statement, so he asked, "What about the unknown?" ”

Huang Jie also replied: "Unknown things are like Na Guta, Wang Qing, Song Jiang, and Fang La." Just knowing that there are people, and not knowing other people and things, such as time, place, and specific people and things, can only be regarded as unknown. For example, before Senior Brother Gongsun Zheng went to Liaodong, the apprentice knew a name, but even how old he was, where he lived in Liaodong, and how many soldiers and horses he had under him were all unknown, and that Song Jiang and Fang La, who only knew their names, so it was better not to know such an unknown thing. ”

Zhu Taozhi nodded, and asked: "Unknown things, it's better not to know, it's not bad!" So, what's next? ”

Huang Jie also smiled and said: "Shizun also knows that what the apprentice originally thought was to train a partial army and build a big road...... Hey! Looking back now, I think it's too much worse, and the Jin people are not the main reason for the defeat of the Northern Song Dynasty. On this temple, the rotten wood is the official, and between the palace and the majesty, the birds and beasts eat Lu. And in the rivers and lakes, the wolf-hearted dogs are in power, and the servants are in power. Therefore, it seems that the Jin people only accounted for 12 out of 10 in the death of the Northern Song Dynasty, but 89 out of 10 rebelled against Wang Qing, Song Jiang and Fang La, and destroyed the country! ”

Zhu Taozhi listened, but also stroked his palms and smiled: "On the temple, the rotten wood is the official, and between the palace and the majesty, the birds and beasts eat Lu." Not bad! Not bad! The Spring and Autumn Period is not counted, the Warring States period is not counted, the pre-Qin period to the present, what dynasty is not like this? Although there was still a Zhenguan rule in the previous dynasty, the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, it was also like a flash in the pan, that is, the Wu Zhou Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, which made some weather, but it was not a dead political rest. Now that the Great Song Dynasty has accumulated deep disadvantages, it is not that you can train a partial army and build a big road to save it, but this Great Song Dynasty's national Zuo has its own qi, and the change of the royal road still depends on the heavens, how to force it? ”

Huang Jie smiled bitterly when he heard this, nodded and said, "Master has taught you a lesson!" Therefore, the apprentice said that he had thought bad before, and then the apprentice saw it in a strange dream, and then he suddenly opened his mouth! ”

Zhu Taozhi smiled: "What? ”

Huang Jie said with a smile: "There are those who have lost the country, there are those who have died in the world, and the country has died and the world has died? Said: The surname of Yi was changed, and it was called the death of the country. Benevolence and righteousness are full, and as for leading beasts to eat people, people will eat each other, which is called the death of the world. The eldest husband should be a prophet to protect the world, and then know to protect the country. Those who defend the country are their kings and ministers, and those who eat meat seek them; Protect the world, the cheapness and responsibility of the husband! ”

Zhu Taozhi stroked his palm and laughed when he heard this, and said busily: "Yu Chi, write it down quickly!" That's a wonderful argument! (To be continued.) )
