Chapter 52: The Iron Horse in the Autumn Wind and Dust
Meet at Shihu to worship the deceased
I remember when I was in the army
The next day, Ye Zhengze was preparing to worship Fan Chengda, and Lu You from Sanyin came to visit. He was entrusted by Yang Wanli to sweep Fan Cheng's tomb.
For the great poet Lu Wuguan, although Ye Zhengze does not have a deep friendship with him, he has also heard of his life experience.
First, the love story between him and his cousin has long been circulated in the government and the opposition.
When Lu You was twenty years old, he married his uncle's daughter Tang Wan. Tang Wan is a beautiful and amorous lady, and she also has a high cultivation in poetry, and she is in love with Lu You, and the two have a very happy married life and a very deep relationship. Two years later, Lu You failed the imperial examination, and his mother believed that this was mainly because her son was too infatuated with Tang Wan and abandoned his studies, so she became angry with Tang Wan and made it difficult in every possible way, forcing her son to divorce Tang Wan.
After that, the two remarried. Ten years later, in the Shen Garden outside Shaoxing City, Lu You came here to enjoy the spring, and unexpectedly reunited with Tang Wan and her husband Zhao Shicheng, but he couldn't tell each other in person. Tang Wan sent someone to send some wine and food, silently to show his concern, and Lu You was sad, so he inscribed a sad poem "Hairpin Phoenix" on the wall of the garden.
Not long after the two reunited, Tang Wan died of sadness.
Second, Lu You was persecuted by Qin Hui. In the twenty-third year of Shaoxing (1153), Lu You was twenty-nine years old and went to Lin'an to take the Jinshi exam, but Qin Hui's grandson Qin Xun also came to take the exam. Chen Zhimao is a person who is not afraid of power, after reading the papers, he found that Lu You was much better than Qin Xun, so he ignored Qin Hui's obscenity, and resolutely took Lu You as the first place and Tai Xun as the second place. Yu Nian, tried to be in the Ministry of Rites, because Lu You was famous before Qin Xun, and he liked to talk about recovery, which was not tolerated by Qin Hui, and he was deposed and resigned. After Qin Hui's death, he served as the chief secretary of Ningde County, Fuzhou. Emperor Xiaozong knew his talent and ambition and gave him the background of Jinshi.
Third, Lu You has a legendary military career. In the sixth year of the dry road (1170), Lu You served as the general judge of Kuizhou. He also served as the Sichuan Xuanfu Division to join the army, and Wang Yan, the Xuanfu envoy, was the leader of the main battle faction and was very talented in politics and military. The Xuanfu envoy was stationed in the Nanzheng area at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi, which was the northwest border of the Song Dynasty. Wang Yan was very much used by the imperial court, and the military, financial and manpower in the northwest were concentrated in his hands.
He came to Nanzheng from Kuizhou, and was ordered to pass through the frontier and join Wang Yan's shogunate. For many years, he has been looking forward to becoming a real soldier, serving the country and fighting on the battlefield, and his long-cherished wish has finally become a reality.
During this period, he was highly motivated and took matters into his own hands. He led his troops deep into the territory of Jin State many times, such as Dingjun Mountain, Guyun, Liangjiao, the ghost shop north of Dasanguan, and the flying stone shop on Guangyuan Road, etc., to inspect the terrain, reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and prepare for the future Northern Expedition.
On a snowy night, Lu You crossed Weishui single-handedly and went to the enemy camp opposite to spy on the military situation; In a battle at Dasanguan, he took the lead in entering the enemy camp and fought bloodily for three days and three nights, but he was not injured.
Once, Lu You led a small detachment to march in the mountains. Suddenly, a white-fronted tiger sprang out of the woods. Seeing the tiger, the war horse kicked and screamed in fright, and the soldiers were all frightened, but Lu You was not afraid, he rushed forward against the tiger with a spear in his hand. He heard the tiger roar, mixed with a gust of wind, and swooped down on him. I saw Lu You's body sinking, standing firmly in a lunge, facing the leaping tiger, raising his gun and picking it up, stabbing the tiger's heart. The tiger slammed into the snow and died after a few convulsions.
When recalling this legendary combat life, Lu You also wrote impassionedly and infinitely tragic:
In the early years, he knew that the world was difficult, and the north of the Central Plains was like a mountain.
The building boat crosses the snow melon state at night, and the iron horse is scattered in the autumn wind.
Plugging the Great Wall is empty, and the fading temples in the mirror have been spotted.
A teacher is a real name in the world, who is worthy of a thousand years?
Moreover, he has a deep relationship with Fan Chengda. In the second year of Chunxi (1175 AD), Fan Chengda came to Sichuan as a Sichuan envoy and recruited Lu You into his shogunate, so Lu You returned to CD.
Both of them were informal, and soon became close friends. At this time, the situation had changed, and the court no longer talked about recovery, so in addition to being disappointed, they often drank together and wrote poems and sang harmony with each other.
In the system, Fan Chengda was quite preferential and polite to Lu You, and some people did not like it, thinking that Lu You was too wild, did not keep his duty, and did not seem to be a staff member, and discussed a lot in private, and some people even accused him of feasting and drinking decadently when he was in Jiazhou, which damaged the image of government officials, and asked for impeachment and demand that he be removed from his official position.
For the slander of these vulgar bureaucrats, Lu You didn't care about it. Since I am said to be wild, I will show you wild! So, he simply called himself "Fang Weng" and demonstrated to those villains who slandered him. Since then, he often goes in and out of the song house restaurant, and lives a life of drinking, writing poems, appreciating flowers, listening to songs, and even fighting cocks. I try to use this life to dispel the troubles in my heart and forget the sadness of unrewarded ambitions. However, borrowing wine to dispel sorrows and indulging in joy and forgetting worries cannot soothe the sorrows in my heart after all, and how can patriotic blood cool down in the paralysis of alcohol.
Fortunately, Emperor Xiaozong understood his thoughts, read the recital, threw it aside, and said: What is the strangeness of scholars drinking and having fun?
In the fifteenth year of Chunxi (1188 AD), Lu You Yanzhou resigned and returned to his hometown after the expiration of his term, and was ordered to Lin'an as a military junior superintendent. During this period, he Yang Wanli and Yang Wanli.
Ye Zhengze clearly remembered that at the beginning of Guangzong's accession to the throne, Lu You gave Guangzong a few chapters, proposing a restoration plan, and longing for the new emperor to work hard to reorganize the mountains and rivers. No, Guangzong has no interest in restoration, and there is a lack of rules and regulations in governing the country. Tired of Lu You's chatter, Yushi Wu Bo just took the opportunity to impeach and dismissed Lu You from his official position on the charge of the so-called "mocking Fengyue".
Up to now, Lu You has been an official for nearly 40 years, but most of the time, he has lived in the old school nunnery in Shanyin, Yuezhou, but when he talks about this, Lu You is content. Mixed with the old farmer, living a simple farm life, drinking with the farmer, talking about mulberry and hemp, enjoying the simple and interesting fun of the farm. However, in the dead of night, a kind of loneliness and desolation of unfulfilled ambition often hit my heart, and I couldn't help but cry.
On November 4, stormy and rainy, he returned to Nanzheng in his sleep, and when he woke up, he wrote:
The zombie and lonely village does not mourn, and Shang Si is the national military wheel.
Lying down at night and listening to the wind and rain, the iron horse and the glacier fell into a dream.
