Lin Yuanting, his father's ancestor Daizhou, the thirteenth year of Zhenyuan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Yuanting was the history of the Daizhou Thorn, still respecting the Jin room, when Taiyuan ordered Liu Sheng to cut off the Jinzhong, the founding of the country called the Han, the surrender of the book, Yuanting Su loyalty, unyielding, victory led the troops to attack it, the Nadai Zhou army was brave and invincible. In the fourteenth year of Zhenyuan, Gaozu deposed the Jin Emperor, established the country called "Yong", Jin died, Yuan Ting heard it, looked at Chang'an Yao Sacrifice, was overwhelmed with grief, and returned to Liu Sheng, the ancestor of the Northern Han Dynasty. Win its loyalty, intimidate its martial arts, and love his daughter. Since the lord of Yuanting, he has fulfilled his duties and resisted the invasion of barbarians, and for decades, the soldiers and civilians of Daizhou have obeyed.

Princess Bi of Jiaping, the eldest daughter of Yuanting, was the righteous daughter of Liu You, the queen of the Northern Han Dynasty, and the military skipped people, far better than brothers, and was known as Yuanting's favorite, and the military and civilians of Daizhou called it "Princess General" without a name.

Lin Tong saw that Wang Ji frowned slightly, and sat on the horse and was distracted, so he said loudly: "Hey, don't be in a daze, let me ask you, you haven't said what happened to Princess Changle later?" ”

Wang Ji's body shook slightly, and he arched his hand and said: "Lord Qiyu, this still has to start with the civil strife in Dayong, when the prince colluded with Fengyi to surround the hunting palace, King Yong rushed out of the encirclement, but could not meet with the army, at this critical juncture, Princess Changle stepped forward and persuaded the rebel party not to attack the emperor's bedroom for the time being, when the two sides were holding each other, the princess obtained the emperor's secret decree and the general's token, and then tried every means to spread it, mobilized the army of King Qin, saved everyone, and annihilated the rebellion, That's why the emperor gave this princess the title of 'Ningguo'. ”

Lin Tong said suspiciously: "Really, the rebels must have surrounded the Hunting Palace, and Princess Changle is not my sister, she can ride alone to get out of the encirclement, how can you pass on the secret decree, you are not a liar, right?" ”

At this time, Wang Ji had calmed down, regained his calm demeanor, and said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess is famous, and the villain is very admired. This princess Changle is a weak woman who is powerless, how can she fight her way out of the encirclement, this is about another person, this person's surname is Jiang Mingzhe, the word follows the cloud, and he is a confidant and strategist under the command of King Yong, it is this person who single-handedly planned, not only passed on the secret decree to mobilize the army, but also forced to kill the Fengyi sect master, the head of the three great masters in the world. ”

Lin Tong's eyes lit up, and he said, "Yes, I've heard that the master of the Fengyi Sect is dead, so the national teacher ordered the disciples to enter Dayong casually?" However, the national teacher is such a powerful and terrifying person, whether the master of the Fengyi Sect is powerful or not, he was always the head of the three great masters in the past, is she really dead, is that Jiang Zhe's martial arts skills very high, and he can actually force the master of the Fengyi Sect? What does he have to do with Princess Changle? ”

Her series of questions made Wang Ji smile bitterly: "County Lord, should the grass people answer that question first?" ”

Lin Tong sneered and said, "You speak slowly, right?" ”

Wang Ji said: "County Lord, Jiang Zhe is also a weak person, the villain heard that he is extremely weak and often wanders on the line of life and death, but this person's strategy and courage are unparalleled in the world." ”

Lin Tong sneered: "I don't believe this, how bold and knowledgeable a weak scholar can be, the lord of this county has seen a lot of scholars and talents, as long as he sees a knife and gun, he is either scared half to death, or he surrenders on his knees, besides, no matter how powerful this person is, is it better than my brother-in-law?" ”

Wang Ji glanced at Lin Bi in embarrassment, Lin Bi smiled slightly: "You don't have to be taboo, this palace also wants to hear the opinions of outsiders." ”

Wang Ji bowed his hand to apologize, and then said: "County Lord, this is incomparable, literati have the spirit of a literati, martial artists have the courage of a warrior, General Long is the commander of the three armies, and he is one of the best generals in the world, this strategy and courage are naturally outstanding, but if you put yourself in your shoes, I'm afraid General Long will not be able to do what Lord Jiang Zhejiang did." ”

Lin Tong's eyes widened and said, "Then I'll listen to you carefully, if you exaggerate, I will punish you." “

Wang Ji smiled slightly, and said: "This Jiang Daren was originally my Nanchu's courtier, Xiande for 16 years, he was weak and crowned, he became famous in one fell swoop, and won the championship. ”

Lin Tong pouted and said, "Are you bullying me that I don't like to read?" Sister, you say, is what he said true? ”

Lin Bifeng's eyes were a little confused: "What he said is right, this Jiang Zhuangyuan is indeed second to none, you go on." ”

Wang Ji said softly: "If you say how good his poetry is, the grass people have not learned it, and it is not very clear, but the grass people like a small poem in his early years the most." After that, he cleared his throat, and he sang aloud: "A spring breeze and a leaf boat, a cocoon and a light hook." The flowers are full of Zhu, the wine is full of Ou, and the waves are free. He sang very emotionally, and his voice was very melodious and clear, as if everyone was also on the blue rivers and lakes.

After singing a song, Wang Ji continued: "This Lord Jiang has been a Hanlin for a few years, and has been appreciated by Zhao Jue, the prince of Southern Chu Xian, and went out to Shuzhong with the army, and the grass people don't know what plan Lord Jiang offered, but there is one thing that is popular, after the fall of Shu, King Yong Li Zhen wants to escort King Shu back to Dayong, so that although Dayong and Southern Chu divide the territory of Shu equally, but Dayong controls the King of Shu, so it takes a great advantage. At that time, Dayong was in full swing, and although Nanchu had thousands of troops, there was no way to reverse the situation. It was this Lord Jiang who sang a song after the banquet, forcing the King of Shu to commit suicide, and since then, the government and the opposition have praised Lord Jiang as the first genius of Southern Chu. ”

Lin Tong said in disbelief: "I don't believe it, a poem can force a lord to death, sister, is what he said true?" ”

Lin Bi stretched out his hand to stroke the young girl's hair, and said: "Everyone has a heart of shame, the Shu Kingdom is ruined, trapped in shackles, and ridiculed in public, no wonder he committed suicide." ”

Lin Tong nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "What my sister said is true, it's true, but this Jiang Zhe is really vicious." ”

Wang Ji smiled: "Maybe, but Lord Jiang came back from Shuzhong and became seriously ill, and he didn't go to court for nearly two years, just recuperating at home, I don't think Lord Jiang will be proud of those things." ”

Lin Tong asked again: "Ah, I remember, in the nineteenth year of Rongsheng, King Yong broke Jianye, since this Lord Jiang was later a confidant of King Yong, he must have surrendered to King Yong at that time, he wrote poems to ridicule King Shu's surrender, but he surrendered on his knees, it seems that his bones are not hard, is this what you said about the style of literati?" ”

Wang Ji's expression darkened, and he said: "The county lord said this, and the grass people have no way to refute it, but in the eyes of the grass people, they don't think there is anything wrong with Lord Jiang." In the twenty-second year of Xiande, the lord of the country could not see the situation clearly, and he must be promoted to the throne, and Lord Jiang wrote a direct admonition, and he was so angry that the lord of the country beheaded him, but in the end, he remembered the talent and merit of Lord Jiang, and just demoted him to a commoner. When King Yong entered Chu, he personally came to the door to pay a salute, but Lord Jiang insisted on refusing to surrender, and later Lord Jiang was forcibly taken back to Dayong by His Royal Highness King Yong. The grass people heard that King Yong was very important to Lord Jiang and tried his best to persuade him to surrender, and the grass people thought that Lord Jiang finally surrendered because King Yong's intentions were too sincere, right? ”

Lin Tong said unrelentingly: "Although it is said that the virtuous minister chooses the lord to serve, I still don't think it's a good character." ”

Wang Ji shook his head and smiled: "What the county lord said is true. Although he said this, his expression was obviously a little perfunctory, and Lin Tong was about to continue to advance, Lin Bi said: "Tong'er, don't you want to continue listening?" ”

Lin Tong kept her mouth shut, what she admired most was her sister and brother-in-law, so she was very unhappy that Wang Ji thought that Jiang Zhe was stronger than her brother-in-law.

Wang Ji continued: "What did Lord Jiang plan for King Yong, the grass people don't know, but His Royal Highness King Yong respects and loves Lord Jiang very much, like a teacher and a friend, like a brother and a brother, not long after Lord Jiang arrived in Dayong, so Prince De's personal guards infiltrated Dayong to assassinate Lord Jiang, it is said that Prince De left a secret order on his deathbed, if Lord Jiang voted for another country, he would kill Lord Jiang. I heard that Master Jiang was seriously injured and almost died, if it weren't for His Royal Highness King Yong who used up all kinds of expensive medicines to prolong his life, he would not have been able to wait for the doctor Mr. Saint-Saëns to treat him. His Royal Highness King Yong was furious because of this incident, and since then, it is said that Lord Jiang's side has been more closely guarded than King Yong. ”

Lin Tong exclaimed: "Why is your Prince De so ruthless, although Jiang Zhe is out of control, but after all, it is excusable, and besides, everyone else is dead, why do you still bother with this?" ”

Wang Ji sighed and said: "At that time, many people also thought so, no matter what, Lord Jiang always made meritorious contributions to Nan Chu, although he changed his career to Dayong, but it was Nan Chu who first removed him from his official position, and the guard was too stubborn, and besides, Lord Jiang was just a scribe, and Prince De still remembered him before he died, which is also a lot of trouble." But later, on the way back to Nanchu, the guard was chased and killed by a servant beside Lord Jiang, and was killed on the river, this servant's name was Li Shun, who was originally a eunuch in the Nanchu Palace, and somehow followed Lord Jiang as a slave, and no one originally took him to heart, but this Li Shun actually had the ability to kill this guard, and people knew that he was a rare master, and such a master was willing to be a slave of Lord Jiang, so someone thought, or Lord Jiang has some ability, However, most people still didn't take Master Jiang seriously. Especially after the assassination of Lord Jiang, his body was extremely weak, and he was on the sickbed for half a year, and the county lord should know that if a person is not in good health, even if he has ten skills, he may only be able to show two or three points. ”

Lin Tong listened attentively, and couldn't help asking: "Then Lord Jiang's health is so poor, how did he give advice to King Yong, and how did he force the Fengyi Sect Master to kill?" ”

Wang Ji sighed and said: "The grass people don't know how Lord Jiang gives advice to King Yong, but I heard that after Lord Jiang helped King Yong put down the rebellion, he has already been disfigured, it is said that his temples are like frost, and he often vomits blood, and some people say that Lord Jiang is afraid that he will not live long." ”

Lin Bi sighed lightly when he heard this: "I have done my best, and I have died, but unfortunately this person is not in my Northern Han Dynasty." Go on. ”

Wang Ji then continued: "Jiang Zhe was also hunting in the palace at that time, and he was seriously ill, but he immediately saw through the prince's conspiracy, so he did not let King Yong die in vain at the hands of the villain. When King Yong broke through, he had to bring him with him without anyone, but Lord Jiang took the initiative to stay, and the one who collected Lord Jiang was Princess Changle. ”

Lin Tong rolled his eyes and said, "Why did Princess Changle take him in, could it be that they have a personal relationship?" ”

Wang Ji hesitated for a moment, and said: "This grass people can't say well, Princess Changle was the mother of Southern Chu, Lord Jiang was once a courtier of Southern Chu, Princess Changle lived in the deep palace all the year round, Lord Jiang is rare to enter the court, it stands to reason that it is impossible for the two to have a personal relationship, and later some people said that after Princess Changle entered Chu, her favorite is poetry and articles, Lord Jiang's poetry is the best in the world, Princess Changle loves Lord Jiang's poems the most, I am afraid that she has a love for Lord Jiang because of this." However, there is a difference between dignity and inferiority, and the name of the monarch and the minister cannot be crossed, so Princess Changle refused to ask Emperor Yongdi to recruit Lord Jiang as a concubine. But when the Hunting Palace incident occurred, Lord Jiang went to ask for help, and Princess Changle naturally wanted to save him no matter what, and then Lord Jiang strategized, and the princess took the secret decree token from Emperor Yong, and then Lord Jiang sent someone to send the secret decree out, and this time invited the soldiers of King Qin. ”

Lin Tong asked curiously: "Lord Jiang went to ask the princess for help, could it be that Lord Jiang also knows that the princess likes him?" ”

Wang Ji said with a smile: "This grass people don't know, in fact, no matter what, Lord Jiang can only ask Princess Changle for help, Princess Changle has always been neutral, if Prince Dayong and King Yong fight, the princess may not interfere, but when it comes to the emperor, Her Royal Highness the princess has a deep father-daughter relationship, so naturally she will not sit idly by and watch the prince coerce her father." ”

Lin Tong asked again: "Then Lord Jiang was not found, and how did he send the secret decree out?" ”

Wang Ji's expression became reverent, and he said, "Lord Jiang is probably hiding very tightly, and it may be that those traitors didn't pay attention to this weak scholar." As for the person who sent the edict, this is the most unexpected place. Xiahou Yuanfeng was originally a member of the prince's party, and he also participated in the rebellion, it is said that he was very close to the prince's young Fu Lu Jingzhong, so he never imagined that this person took the opportunity of sending a false edict for the prince to bring out the real secret edict. Xiahou Yuanfeng was originally not a person from King Yong, this is known to everyone, and no one understands why this person was persuaded by Lord Jiang. He abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, but he made a great contribution, and now he is deeply favored. But Master Jiang's ability is really admirable, and such an impossible thing was actually done by him. ”

Lin Tong nodded and said, "I see, then you can talk about Jiang Zhe's forced killing of the master of Fengyi, I still don't believe that he has that ability." ”

Wang Ji's expression perked up, and he said: "Speaking of this, it's really convincing, Master Jiang is just a weak scholar, I'm afraid that the master of Fengyi can kill him with one finger." On the day of the failure of the Fengyi Gate rebellion, all the rebellions were surrounded, and they were about to be wiped out, who knew that the master of Fengyi Gate fell from the sky, a single sword, a station above the main hall, in addition to the emperor and prince above the golden palace, it was a famous general and a master of the rivers and lakes, but in front of the three great masters, a woman, they all bowed their heads, and no one dared to look at each other, but Jiang Daren was a weak scholar, and he was dying, vomiting blood and dying, and the sound was like a golden stone, sonorous and powerful, and he would rather be broken than jade. forced the master of Fengyi Sect to agree to stay as a hostage in exchange for the lives of his disciples, who can match this kind of courage? ”

Lin Tong wanted to speak, but he didn't dare to breathe when he thought that he was lucky enough to meet the national teacher, thinking about it like this, Jiang Zhe dared to be fearless of life and death in front of the master of Fengyi, and he was straightforward, and sure enough, he didn't speak.

Wang Ji said again: "Not many people know what happened next, but the master of Fengyi Gate was besieged and killed by Master Cizhen of Shaolin Temple on the seventh day with the master of the sect and the evil shadow Li Shun, a generation of grandmasters, died with hatred. ”

Lin Tong asked, "Then how can it be said that Jiang Zhe forced the Fengyi Sect Master to kill?" ”

Wang Ji said: "This news came from the Shaolin Temple, it is said that the master of Fengyi was injured at the beginning, she took the Nine Turns Heart Protection Pill of Mr. Shengsang, and temporarily protected the heart, but Master Jiang is a disciple of the medical saint, proficient in medical skills, what method was used to make the master of Fengyi run out of vitality in seven days, so the master of Fengyi was finally forced to fight to the death, Master Cizhen is also the identity of the master, the evil shadow Li Shun is also the top master, the eighteen King Kongs of the Shaolin Temple joined forces to form a formation, how can the master of Fengyi not die, And I heard that in the end, it was the evil shadow Li Shun who took advantage of the duel between the two great grandmasters to sneak attack and seriously injured the Fengyi sect master, so that the first generation of grandmasters was forced to die. If the master of Fengyi Sect does not have the will to die in his heart, he is afraid that he will already fly into the dark and do not know what to do. ”

Lin Tong looked very shocked, and said after a while: "Then this Master Jiang is really powerful, but that Master Cizhen is too lacking in the demeanor of a grandmaster, and he joined forces to attack, and he also wanted people to sneak attack and plot, but how could he spread such a thing, how embarrassing?" ”

Wang Ji shook his head and said, "The grass people only regarded it as a joke legend, but they didn't understand Master Cizhen's thoughts. ”

Lin Tong looked up at Lin Bi and said coquettishly: "Sister, you must know." Tell me. ”

Lin Bi was entangled by her, so she had to smile and say: "What's so strange about this, that Master Jiang is so scheming, Master Cizhen has spread this matter, naturally everyone is afraid, and when the time comes, it will naturally be a little more wary of this Lord Jiang, I think Master Cizhen is a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, right?" ”

Lin Tong nodded as if he didn't understand: "Oh, what about Wang Ji, Jiang Zhe and Princess Changle?" ”

Wang Ji said again: "When the master of Fengyi Gate appeared, although the golden palace was full of heroes, but they all bowed their heads, only two of them were always fearless of life and death, admirable, one is Lord Jiang Zhejiang, he was weak and weak, and he was embarrassed by the heroes of Fengyi, and the other person was Princess Changle, when Lord Jiang was injured by the internal force of the master of Fengyi, vomiting blood, Princess Changle ignored the Fengyi Lord Jianfeng's point, personally probed Lord Jiang's injury, and the heart of her feelings, ignoring life and death, how can people not sigh. ”

Lin Tong let out an "ah" and said, "Could it be that Princess Changle is married to Jiang Zhe, then it's no wonder that others put Princess Changle and my sister side by side, then Jiang Zhe can really be compared with my brother-in-law." ”

Wang Ji smiled slightly, knowing that this little county lord said this, he was admitting that Jiang Zhe was indeed good. He didn't say anything, and continued: "Although King Yong once asked the emperor for marriage, and the ministers were also moved by their deep affection, although they felt that it was against the etiquette law, but no one dissuaded them, but Emperor Yong refused. ”

Lin Tong said in surprise: "Why, Jiang Zhe has made such a great achievement, and he and the princess are in love, why didn't Emperor Yong agree?" ”

Wang Ji said with a smile: "The reason is because Lord Jiang is seriously ill, and Emperor Yong is very worried that if Jiang Da lives for a short time, Princess Changle will have a rough life, and if the horse dies early, wouldn't it be even worse, as soon as this reason is said, even King Yong will not dare to say that it is wrong." ”

Lin Tong nodded and said, "So that's the case, that's right, so is it true that after Lord Jiang raised his son, the emperor of Dayong gave them a marriage?" ”

Wang Ji smiled and said: "If this is the case, it will not be a legend, that Lord Jiang has made such a great achievement, and he is about to soar, but he took the evil shadow Li Shun quietly away after King Yong's ceremony, it is said that this Lord Jiang came and went to understand, sealed all the rewards of King Yong, and did not take it, so he drifted away from the rivers and lakes, his talent and achievements, but he did not love wealth and power at all, that is, some people used to think that his name was at a loss, and now he can't sigh without hitting the festival." ”

A hint of reverence flashed in Lin Tong's eyes, and he said: "Then this Lord Jiang's character and talent are really unparalleled in the world, but although he is powerful, didn't you originally want to tell me why Princess Changle can be as famous as my sister, why is it off-topic?" ”

Wang Ji said in his heart, I just really digressed, wasn't I also led by you, but said with a smile on his face: "The county lord doesn't know, although Jiang Zhe is drifting away and doesn't take anything, but he kidnaps a person." ”

Lin Tong's eyes widened, and he said, "Mo Fei, Mo Fei, did Princess Changle elope with her?" ”

Wang Ji clapped his hands and said: "That's right, Princess Changle's temperament is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, when Emperor Yongdi forced her to marry another, she swore to die, and now Emperor Yongdi does not allow her to marry Lord Jiang, but Lord Jiang leaves like this, how can the princess rest assured, these two people are people who have exhausted their youth for Dayong, and they have no scruples, so they both went away to the end of the world, and since then they have been free from all over the world, being a pair of fairy couples, only envying mandarin ducks and not immortals." Her Royal Highness the princess, who had already been promoted to Princess Changle of Ningguo, was extremely glorious, and her mother was promoted to the queen, she was extremely wealthy, but she abandoned everything and accompanied her lover to hide in the rivers and lakes, such a strange woman should be barely compared with Her Royal Highness Princess Jiaping. As he spoke, he looked at Lin Bi, his eyes full of caution.

Lin Bi shook his head and said: "Princess Changle of Ningguo is both loyal and filial, has excellent appearance, and is so affectionate and sexual, she doesn't love power and wealth, how can this palace compare to her." Tong'er, you used to be young, and your father and mother were worried that you didn't understand the true meaning, and it was not good to know, but today Mr. Wang told you, I think you still understand the reason, so I won't stop you. ”

After that, Lin Bi's eyes fell on Wang Ji, and said meaningfully: "Mr. Wang, you are young, but you have a wide range of knowledge, it is really rare." ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Wang Ji, and they were all a little puzzled and wary.
