Chapter Seventy-Three: Everyone Who Comes Is a Guest
Of course, the traitor behind the traitor, that is the contempt of historians for this person. In He Daxian's eyes, this person is a very capable person.
Sang Weihan is a native of Luoyang, he has a superior IQ since he was a child, he has worked extremely hard in his studies, and he writes good articles, so he boasted to his friends that he will definitely walk out of a bright road in his career in the future.
It's a pity that God is destined to make you a big traitor, and you can't be a big traitor if you want to!
What's going on?
In the process of growing up, Sang Weihan accidentally cracked!
The history books commented that this person was "short and long", which is a more polite statement. But looking back and thinking about these four words, it's actually really scary.
Then there is no way, it is the end of the Tang Dynasty, and when a man comes out to be an official, his appearance is a very, very, very important basic quality, which is actually much more serious than the depth of knowledge. What do you think, these days, even the generals have to pretend to be forced to go out to fight, pose as a warrior, and have to repair the picture or something if the face is too big. You are a civil official, if you have no appearance, stand up like a groundhog, gray-headed, deer-eyed, and want to spit and fly and eat by mouth?
Who cares about you?
But this little Sang Weihan is self-reliant and talented, and he is not conscious, but he wants to take the civil service exam.
As a result, the examiner didn't even read the essay he handed over, and he was disgusted. The examiner was a literate person, and he was not too embarrassed to call him ugly directly, so he pointed to his nose and said: Why do you have the surname "Sang"? How can you have the surname "San"? It has the same sound as "mourning", and it is hard to hear death! !
Sang Weihan is also a backbone person, and when he returned home, he held an iron inkstone and publicly announced: If you can't pass the civil service examination, I will wear this iron inkstone through. This is the source of the idiom "grinding through the iron inkstone" in the primary school textbooks of later generations, which shows that someone's literary and ink kung fu is unfathomable, and also records an inspirational story that has inspired countless readers in later generations.
In the end, the ending of this inspirational story that has inspired countless readers is that Sang Weihan took the exam a few times or still didn't get in, his father was in a hurry, and gave some gifts to Zhang Quanyi, the envoy of the Heyang Festival at that time, and went through the back door, and finally was admitted to the Jinshi in the third year of Tongguang.
However, what is the use of Jinshi being Jinshi?
Your appearance is too low! No one wants to deal with you, where is the future of development!
Six years after entering the officialdom, fate began to favor Sang Weihan.
It happened that Shi Jingjiao, the son-in-law of Emperor Li Siyuan, was temporarily appointed as the envoy of the Heyang Festival, and discovered Sang Weihan's talent by chance, and was shocked by the heavens, and immediately asked for the account.
That's fate!
That Shi Jingjiao was short-sighted, and he just couldn't see Sang Weihan's appearance clearly, but he vaguely knew that this person was a little shorter.
Why not be a little shorter? Sang Weihan is indeed talented! Knowing astronomy and geography, erudite and talented, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, the value of political ability is completely 100 points in seconds, it is simply Zhuge Liang's regeneration!
Shi Jingjiao did pick up the treasure, this is the truth.
So chicken soup is well said, opportunities are always for those who are prepared!
The story of "grinding through the iron inkstone" is indeed very inspiring!
This is also the reason why He Daxian is very fond of Sang Weihan, but he often needs to decorate and think in the study of Taiping Villa. Every time the cicada girl helps him grind ink, she always thinks that her hands are too sore for too long, and she tries to be coquettish and lazy, and he has taught this story many times.
Red dust was billowing in the distance, and a team of more than 100 Jin cavalry came to the front. After the dust settled, He Daxian finally met this world-famous contemporary talent.
Sang Weihan rode on a horse, but he didn't look short, and after wearing a Tang-style official hat, although there were many acne on his face, it was not as unbearable as the history books said. It can be seen that his identity as a big traitor has indeed made historians maliciously scandalize his appearance a lot.
Although Shi Jingjiao sent an envoy to express his goodwill to Zhao Ping, the fake Zhenwu border patrol envoy, because he heard about the outstanding achievements of the "New Zhenwu Army", after all, the two sides were still two hostile troops, and the scene was a little serious and nervous.
However, today is Zhao Ping's happy day, all the people who come are guests, and the grievances of the rivers and lakes are something, so let's put it aside for now.
He Daxian and Na Sang Weihan looked at each other for a moment, then dismounted with a smile and stepped forward to greet each other.
"Master Sang has come from afar, Zhao is really brilliant."
"Where, General Zhao is a hero, and it is better to meet than to be famous. Lord Shi admires the heroes of the world, and he can't wait to come to congratulate General Zhao in person, but because he is busy with official business, he sent a special messenger to send some gifts, hoping that the general will not be disgusted. ”
When Sang Weihan saw Zhao Ping dismounting, he also hurriedly dismounted to meet him.
After getting off the horse, Sang Weihan's height disadvantage was revealed, only about one meter five in height, standing in front of Zhao Ping, who was one meter seven and five in height, he looked extremely ugly.
Of course, He Daxian would not pay attention to Sang Weihan's height as superficially as mortals, and seeing that he did not shy away from his flaws and came up to talk calmly, he also admired it a little in his heart.
After exchanging a few words on both sides, Sang Weihan also introduced Jing Yanguang, another Jin army general who came with him.
Jing Yanguang is also a famous general under Shi Jingjiao during the Five Dynasties, especially a good arrow, his father taught him archery when he was a child, there is a sentence recorded in history that makes listeners shudder: "If you can't shoot into iron, it's better not to shoot." ”
Nima is a little child, you have to train him to shoot arrows into iron?
Although I don't know if it's an exaggeration, Jing Yanguang does have strong arms when he grows up, and he is on a par with Na An Chongrong's archery, and he also holds a ten-stone bow, plus he himself is tall, and when he rides on a horse, he is very arrogant and domineering.
He Daxian knew this Jing Yanguang.
On the first day he came to this world, the Jin general who knocked him off the city wall with a stick from the head of Taiyuan City is this guy! Fortunately, the big bow of this guy was not in his hand that day, but he just picked up a mace to drive away a few small soldiers who climbed the city wall.
If Jing Yanguang had used his true skills at that time, Zhao Ping and Zhao Ergou would have long since ceased to exist in the world.
When the enemies saw each other, their eyes were red, and new and old hatreds came to their hearts together. He Daxian was in a stirred mood, strode forward, held Jing Yanguang's hand tightly, patted Jing Yanguang's shoulder with the other hand, and laughed:
"I have been looking up to General Jing's name for a long time, and I have to see you again today, and I am really fated to be with the general."
Jing Yanguang's face was confused, where would he remember the appearance of a small soldier.
It's just that this Zhao Ping looks thinner, and the strength in his hands is quite big, so he has to be careful when he fights on the battlefield in the future.
Several people stood together to greet each other, praise each other, look at each other and smile, as if they had been old friends for many years, and they were very happy.
General Zhao Ping Zhao personally led a cadre of Jin troops into Hujiazhai. When passing by Zhenwu New City halfway, Jing Yanguang glanced at it casually, but his heart was chuckled.
In addition to archery, Jing Yanguang is also proficient in military formations, and he has a lot of experience in defense.
Now even a senior defense expert like him can't see what's special about Zhenwu New Town, which is still a mess of construction sites, but at a glance, he always feels very uncomfortable, and he feels that if he leads his troops to attack, I'm afraid he will suffer a big loss.
On the side of the Later Tang Dynasty, only the emperor Li Congke was impressed by Zhao Ping, but the Jin army was different.
Shi Jingjiao is a real hero, from the beginning of helping Zhu Xie's family establish the Later Tang Dynasty, Shi Jingjiao has shown very excellent emotional intelligence and leadership qualities, very affinity, paying attention to the advantages of his subordinates, speaking in a loud voice, very modest, his subordinates are always like a spring breeze when they are with this lord, and they feel that they have found the direction of struggle in life.
This is also the reason why so many generals have defected to him.
In the official history, it took only three months for Shi Jingjiao to defeat the Later Tang Dynasty and establish the Later Jin Dynasty. Khitan assistance was an important reason, and then there were constant rebellions among the generals in the Tang army and defected to Shi Jingjiao, which led to frequent mutinies, which was also one of the main reasons.
Zhao Ping, the border patrol envoy of Zhenwu who appeared out of thin air, led a thousand foot soldiers to fight against thousands of Khitan cavalry, and also ran to a mountain behind Taiyuan to establish a base area, which made Shi Jingjiao suddenly alert.
Putting aside the identity of a big traitor, respecting everyone he knows, and never despising any hero in the world, this is Shi Jingjiao's innate excellent personal quality.
This time, he sent Sang Weihan and Jing Yanguang over, on the one hand, to see if there was any possibility of recruiting Zhao Ping under his account, and on the other hand, to spy on what special abilities this Zhao Ping had to be able to rise in such a short period of time.
