Wei Zheng is not very good, there is a record in history that describes Wei Zheng's appearance as no more than a middle-aged person. In fact, this is still the historian's denial for the Venerable, and from Ling Yun's eyes, Wei Zhengchang is actually a little ugly, with a dark complexion, and a little thin. This is a dark and thin scholar, who is actually one year older than Ling Yun at this time, nineteen this year. Since childhood, he loves to read, and he reads all kinds of books, which can be described as well-read. And there are many scholars' tempers, stubbornness, and the things that are recognized will not change. Later, it was precisely because of this character that he became the most relied on minister of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, Li Shimin commented that Fang Xuanling was the first to assist Zhenguan before, and Wei Zheng was the first after Zhenguan. Wei Zheng later served as a counselor, Zuo Guanglu doctor, Zheng Guogong, Zhen Wenzhen, known for his straightforward advice, and was the most prestigious counselor in Chinese history.

But such a Zhenguan celebrity, the first half of his life was not smooth sailing, and even very bumpy. Wei Zheng even worked as a Taoist priest in his early years, so many people think that Wei Zheng was born in a poor ordinary family, but this is wrong. Wei Zheng actually has a very good family background, he was born in the Wei family of Julu, Hebei, the Julu Wei family is the largest family in Julu, especially in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Eastern Wei and Northern Qi dynasties, the Wei family is even more prosperous. Wei Zheng's great-grandfather was once the Northern Wei Dynasty's Yiyang Taishou and Lingjiang generals, his grandfather Wei Yan was also the Northern Wei Hussar Changshi, the history of the Guangzhou Thorn, his father Wei Changxian was involved in history, outstanding talent, the first show of talent, and later appointed Wei Runan King to join the army, into Qi, for Pingyang Wang Facao to join the army, and later turned to the Lang, and later because of the Northern Qi Emperor into the book to ridicule the current politics, was demoted to the party Tunliu County Order, a few years later resigned and returned to his hometown, no longer out of office. After the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Qi, he was recruited several times, but he couldn't resign because of illness. The most famous of the Wei family at that time was Wei Zheng's brother Wei Shui, who was the son of Wei Zijian, the general of the Northern Wei Hussars, and was a famous genius at that time. In the Northern Wei Dynasty, he served as a doctor of Taixue and Situ Ji joined the army, and the host was Langzhong. After entering Qi, he also wrote Lang, and finally the official Zhishang Shu right servant shot, bit special jin, Wei Shui is still a historian, and the Jin book in the twenty-four histories is written by him.

Wei Zheng was born in such a scholarly family, a scholar family, and it should have been smooth sailing. It's a pity that a few years before he was born, the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Qi, and a year after he was born, Yang Jiansui usurped Zhou. The Wei family, as one of the Shandong Shi clans, was completely suppressed by the victorious Guanlong group. Although there are also people in the Wei family who enter the Sui Dynasty, they are not as good as before, and Wei Zheng's father insists on refusing to go out of the Sui Dynasty. Wei Zheng's father is very talented, but his personality is stubborn and he can't operate, so he sits on the mountain and eats empty, and the family road begins to fall. Later, Wei Zheng married his father's friend, the daughter of the Pei family of the Hedong clan, and like her father, she could only study and not produce, so her life inevitably got worse and worse. By the end of the Sui Dynasty, Wei Zheng even went to work as a Taoist priest for a while in order to avoid military service. It wasn't until he was thirty-eight years old that he was invited by the treasure of Chengyuan in Wuyang County to be the secretary. Later, Wei Zheng returned to Wagang Li Mi with Yuan Baobao, Wei Zheng joined the army as a marshal's mansion literature, and later Li Mi defeated Wang Shichong, and went to Guanzhong Li Yuan with him. Li Mifu rebelled and died, and Wei Zheng took the initiative to ask to go to Shandong to persuade the old general of Wagang, but when he went to Liyang to persuade Xu Shiji, he was captured by Dou Jiande again. Later, Dou Jiande was defeated by Li Shimin, Wei Zheng returned to Chang'an, and was invited by the prince Li Jiancheng to wash the prince's horse, and persuaded Li Jiancheng to kill Li Shimin first several times. After the change of Xuanwumen, it was returned to Li Shimin.

Before the age of thirty-eight, he studied and became a Taoist priest, and lived a hard life. After the age of thirty, he actively or passively changed the five times of the lord, worked hard for many years, and did not even find a stable backer, and every time he bet on the wrong place, before finally serving Li Shimin, Wei Zheng's luck was indeed very back, very back.

Lingyun read history books, and once happened to see Wei Zheng once studied under the famous genius of the late Sui Dynasty, the great Confucian Wang Tong, Wang Tong was a teacher for fifteen, the family has a family history, several generations are great Confucians, and the father and son have been summoned and sealed by Emperor Wen of Sui. However, the most remembered he is still Wang Tong's disciples, the history of Wang Tong "often hundreds of people, only Henan Dong Heng, Nanyang Cheng Yuan, Zhongshan Jia Qiong, Hedong Xue Shui, Taishan Yao Yi, Taiyuan Wen Yanbo, Jingzhao Du Yan and other more than ten people are Junying. "Wen Yanbo and Du Yan are both Zhenguan ministers, Du Yan is still Du Ruhui's uncle, and Wen Yanbo and the other two brothers Wen Daya and Wen Dayou are the famous Wen family Sanyan in the early Tang Dynasty, and Wen Yanbo later became the prime minister.

Wang Tong's disciples also have three famous figures, namely Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Li Jing. These three are not Wang Tong's personal disciples, but they have all attended classes under him. Together, they studied with Wang Tong his book "Zhixue", which is said to have been most highly regarded by Zeng Guofan, a famous minister in the Qing Dynasty.

Both are disciples of Wang Tong, Wei Zheng and Li Jing have similar experiences, and they are late bloomers.

Wei Zheng this year nineteen, Niu Qian from the teacher Wang Tong's hometown of Longmen County, Hedong Bainiuxi home, at this time is planning to return to Longmen to study and listen to the class, passing by the south of the Yangtze River, to visit his father's friend Pei Shibo, these days in Pei's house to live, because of the admiration of the sea temple in the collection of books, these days will come to the temple every day to copy books. But he didn't expect to run into Ling Yun and his party here, he admired the handsomeness and ease of the group of sons opposite, but he was surprised that the son opposite actually called out his words.

Xuancheng's expression was taken by his teacher Wang Tong when he was about to return home last year, and not many people knew it. But the strange boy on the other side first mistakenly called him Li Mi, obviously someone who didn't know him, but after hearing his name, he immediately said his own words, which is really weird.

"Childe, don't you know each other?" Wei Zheng was puzzled.

Ling Yun smiled, smiling very happily, meeting another famous person in history made him feel a different kind of satisfaction in his heart. It's like a philatelic enthusiast who has collected a precious stamp, and it is difficult for people who are not like-minded people to understand this feeling.

"In the next Yifeng word Lingyun, I have always admired Mr. Wang, and I have also listened to Mr. Wang's lectures in Bainiuxi. It's just because of the family, and then I have never had the opportunity to listen to the lecture under the throne of the king, but there are letters with some classmates in the past few days, and I know that there are several disciples under the throne of the king who are the most handsome, Henan Dong Heng, Nanyang Cheng Yuan, Zhongshan Jia Qiong, Hedong Xue Shui, Taishan Yao Yi, Taiyuan Wen Yanbo, Jingzhao Du Yan, Julu Wei Zheng, Linzi Fang Xuanling, Sanyuan Li Jing and other ten people are the most, and the name of Brother Xuancheng is remembered deeply. Unexpectedly, I had the opportunity to meet here, what an unexpected surprise. ”

Wang Tong lectured in his hometown, and in addition to his regular disciples, many scholars often came to listen to his lectures, and many of them were not official disciples, not even named disciples. Wang Tong lectures, and there are thousands of people who often listen to the lectures, so when Ling Yun said that he had listened to the lectures under Wang Tong's seat, Wei Zheng did not have the slightest suspicion, in fact, he, Fang Xuanling and Li Jing can be regarded as the kind of registered disciples, not like Wen Yanbo and Du Yan. However, he didn't think that Ling Yun would pretend to be Wang Tong's student, after all, he was just a child of the declining scholar clan, and when Ling Yun shouted out his words, he was already convinced of Ling Yun's words.

Wei Zheng was very happy to meet his classmates here, especially the costumes of Ling Yun and his party, all of them had a graceful demeanor and gave people an excellent impression.

"I don't know if Senior Brother Xuancheng has some time, how about finding a place to talk about it together?" Lingyun took the initiative to invite.

"Good!" Wei Zheng was very happy to meet a fellow student here, so he agreed directly without hesitation.

Ling Yun rode a horse, Wei Zheng rode a bull, and the two went hand in hand. Along the way, Ling Yun and Wei Zheng chatted very speculatively, Wei Zheng is the kind of person who reads a lot of miscellaneous books and has a wide range of knowledge. But no matter how wide he is, can he be broader than Ling Yun, a later generation? If it is about some classics and historical collections, Ling Yun will definitely not be able to talk about Wei Zheng, but if he talks about some other things, Ling Yun will be able to quote from the side, and he will find some topics at will, and Wei Zheng, who can also talk about it, was stunned for a while, and sighed that Ling Yun was well-informed. At the moment, I was even more convinced of this junior brother who came out halfway.

The group stopped at a tea shed not far in front of Daihai Temple.

"Man, borrow your boiling water, and we'll make our own tea." Ling Yun smiled and said to the guy at the tea shop who came up, the guy looked a little embarrassed, Ling Yun smiled and said, "Give the tea money." The shopkeeper immediately ran in with a smile and got ready. Qinglian and Mulan, who were disguised as men, had already taken out a full set of tea sets from their horses and took out tequila tea.

Wei Zheng looked at Qinglian and the two of them with some strange movements.

"It's strange to Senior Brother Xuancheng, I'm used to drinking my own tea, and I'm not used to the tea outside."

Wei Zheng couldn't help but guess about Ling Yun's identity in his heart, and estimated that this might be the noble son of which family. Otherwise, drinking tea would not be so particular, but when he saw the tea leaves that Qinglian took out and her method of making tea, he was really surprised.

"Senior brother, please compensate."

"What kind of tea is this, I've never seen it, I haven't added any condiments, but the tea is rich and fragrant, it's really unheard of." Wei Zheng sighed.

"This tea is called dragon tongue, produced in the Lion Peak of Liuhe Mountain in Huainan, from tea picking to tea making and even making tea, it is completely different." Ling Yun introduced.

Wei Zheng picked up the tea, took a sip, and slowly tasted it, and sure enough, it was completely different from the tea he had paid for before, bitter at the beginning, and sweet in aftertaste.

"Senior Brother Lingyun, where are you going?" After a cup of tea, Wei Zheng and Ling Yun were already quite close.

"I don't hide it from my senior brother, I am newly awarded the post of Cao Cao, a soldier of the Jin Palace, and I am about to go to Liaodong under the order of the King of Jin."

"To Liaodong?" Wei Zheng was a little surprised, both surprised that Ling Yun was so young, he actually served as the soldier Cao of the Jin Palace, and the soldier Cao joined the army from the seventh rank official, which did not look high, but the King of Jin was a powerful feudal domain with a large number of imperial courts, and the soldiers of the Jin Palace, Cao Cao, joined the army, and naturally he was also a confidant of the King of Jin. Wei Zheng's father was in the army for the two county kings at the beginning. is also in the army, and the county king's participation in the army is not comparable to the prince's participation in the army. Now he became more and more convinced in his heart that Ling Yun's life experience was not simple, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of any wealthy family surnamed Feng in the court. On the other hand, he was surprised that the purpose of Ling Yun's trip was to go to Liaodong. According to what he heard, the north has been unstable recently. "I heard that there is about to be a war in Liaodong?"

Ling Yun smiled: "Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures." Please go to the Qilin Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis? ”

Wei Zheng's whole person paused there, muttering the poem Why don't men take Wu Hook, every time he read it, the blood in his heart boiled a point, and his pride became stronger. He thought of the Zhongluo family, thought of today's heaviest military achievements, thought of the suppression of Shandong scholars, and thought of abandoning his pen and throwing himself into the army. He didn't expect that this Senior Brother Feng, who had just made him feel extremely noble, actually gave him a feeling of pride in the blink of an eye.

"Senior Brother Xuancheng, would you like to go to Liaodong with a certain person and look for the marquis for thousands of miles?"

Wei Zheng was excited, his face was swollen red, his breathing was a little heavy, and the whole person seemed to feel a little drunk, he stared at Lingyun carefully, for a long time, and finally slapped the coffee table and shouted, "Okay, abandon the pen and follow Rong, thousands of miles to find the marquis, and go to Liaodong with you!" ”

Ling Yun smiled slightly, but he was more excited than Wei Zheng in his heart, he didn't expect that Wei Zheng would be aroused, it was really a surprise. There are so many future fierce generals and brave generals around him, and there is really a lack of strategists and military advisors like Wei Zheng!
