Chapter 1: A Knife Triggers a Situation
The wedge is too hard, isn't it?!
The wind blows from the southwest, getting stronger and stronger, and on this summer night it makes people feel cool and swishing, the dark clouds are piling up, accumulating thicker and thicker, and the night seems darker and darker, not at all like a city summer in the colorful, gray and hazy night.
"Inheriting the tide of reform and opening up, carrying the spirit of the general public, China at the turn of the century soared forward, standing at the top of the world, gradually becoming a pole of the world, but like the paradox of the development of the Chinese dynasties, economic development and the grassroots of society are gradually drifting away, the ruling elite and the small people are gradually detached, the gap between the rich and the poor is huge, the social structure is solid, the spiritual belief is lost, and the ethical credit is disintegrating. The amount of internal variable force is missing, and external factors are useless, and eventually it spreads.
The world has never been changed by a great man with a wave of his hand, and it is impossible for a bright future to be made by miracles in the extravagance of hope. As a member of thousands of indignant youths, I put forward a declaration of patriotism, self-improvement and mutual assistance, and I am willing to encourage those who have aspirations:"
In a family building in a city in southwest China, a young man buried his head in typing out these two paragraphs on his computer, oblivious to the dark clouds outside the window that almost pressed down to the roof of the building and the sky that was gradually darkening. His name is Lin Feng, although he is twenty-six years old, he is mistaken by many people for only eighteen or nineteen years old because of his baby face. On a daily basis, he always likes to talk about national affairs in a tone of worrying about the country and the people, and is named "hardcore angry youth" by the people around him.
Because of the agitation of his heart, locks of sweat continued to slide down the bulging muscles on his back, dripping to the ground.
"I advocate - to establish a spiritual will. People have no energy, and they are impotent inside and outside. May we from now on, establish the righteousness of Haoran, the ideal of the tree, the perseverance of strength, the ambition of not falling into the clouds, and the spirit of lofty;
Strengthens the body. The body contains spirit and spirit, and without a strong body, there is no ambition, no perseverance, no carrier, and no motivation. May we from now on, practice day by day, practice month by month, forge a strong body, and build a carrier of a strong soul;
Do what you do with integrity. Without faith, a man cannot do it. Integrity is the foundation of modern economy and society. May we trust each other, rely on each other, treat others with sincerity, be honest, do what is natural, and not waste our minds and energy in suspicion and concern.
A heart of courage. The future and ideals are made with courage. May we from now on, abandon the scruples and fears in our hearts, shake off the visible and invisible shackles, do not bend our waists for the powerful, do not bow to money, be brave and fearless, move forward bravely, dare to speak, dare to do, dare to think, dare to fight, and bravely pursue our dreams.
Broaden your mind. The state of the heart determines the state of life. May we from now on, not for trivial things, not for the trivial and hesitant to hesitate, with family, friendship, love, with truth, goodness and beauty to fill our minds, expand our horizons, open our hearts, and accept the sea of abundance in our hearts.
Make covenants of mutual aid. One person's power will eventually be exhausted. May we from now on, sincerely form an alliance, unite and help each other, accumulate sand into a tower, accumulate armpits into a fur, sink into an ocean, set the slightest mountain for the mountains, and pry and lead us and the people around us to strive for a better future!
Would it be fun to have comrades who can contact me, be fierce and full of pride, talk about ideals and talk about the future? ”
"That's it, get done!" After clicking the send button, Lin Feng suddenly felt relaxed, his back slammed into the back of the chair, his right hand stretched out, grabbed the fruit knife in his hand, and prepared to cut the watermelon next to the computer. Who knows, the range of action is a bit large, and the tip of the knife touches the water cup in front of the main unit. The already cold warm water in the cup suddenly spilled out and poured into the computer host and keyboard, and a small flame and a faint mushy smell suddenly emerged from the host.
At this moment, the dark clouds on the roof contracted sharply, and suddenly released a strange lightning, which hit the roof of Lin Feng's house fiercely, and the lightning rod along the side of the building quickly rushed downward, and when it reached Lin Feng's window, the lightning soared, and the sparks that continued to burst in the computer combined and turned into a magnificent and colorful arc, which swept Lin Feng into it.
"No, didn't you just write an angry article, which was completely harmonized? It's too ruthless, isn't it?! At the moment of disappearance, Lin Feng's consciousness swept through such a sentence.
Like a white horse passing through a gap, in the blink of an eye, lightning and dark clouds disappear, as if they had never appeared. In Lin Feng's room, only the warm water spilled on the desktop was the faint heat that rose quietly and the computer host emitted a vague smell of burning.
Volume 1 Scene 1 Chapter A Knife Triggers a Situation (Part I) "On the one hand, there is a solemn, deathly silence, and on the other hand, there is a jumping, living noise, and I would rather live in this hustle and bustle." ”
After seeing his father Li Jing, the fourteen-year-old King of Zheng Li Yu took his companion Wang Shenming and called Liu Cheng, the long-awaited chief of the guard of King Zheng's Mansion, who did not go to participate in the daily lecture, and slipped out of the Qingxiao Gate in the northwest of Jinling Palace, muttering in his heart. And the carriage of King Zheng's mansion was still parked in front of the palace gate and did not move, as if to tell others that King Zheng was still studying in the palace.
Five generations later, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month in the third year of Jin Tianzuo (937 AD), it was the folk "begging festival" where the Niu Xun and Weaver Girls met once a year, and the sixth child of Li Jingtong (Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty) - Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was born. At this time, Li Jingtong's father Li Yu has been planning for a long time, and is about to ascend the throne as the emperor, Li Jingtong sighed that this son is in the same year as the country, and the same day as the festival. It wasn't until Li Yu unexpectedly ascended the throne in 961 A.D. that he took "Taixuan? In the Yuan Notice", the meaning of "the sun is like day, and the moon is like night", was renamed Li Yu.
It was late spring in March, and Li Yu was playing with a gold paper fan in his hand, and he fanned it every now and then. On the fan surface is a line of elegant and beautiful calligraphy: "Let the moon in the hand, shake the wind full of arms", the poem is Li Yu's proud sentence in the past few days, the book is a trembling pen twist, a stroke of three folds, chic and chic in addition to the trend of frost bamboo. It was the new calligraphy he created himself, which was later known as the "Golden Wrong Knife".
On both sides of the street not far from inside and outside the palace, there is a condensed and exquisite street scene of life: from jewelry and jade, antiques and antiques, to small stall snacks.
Who wouldn't want to cling to the palace and come out? Whether it is a senior official who is called into the palace, or a eunuch in charge, a palace guard, or a concubine, as long as you are favored by these nobles once, you can earn a lot of money, and maybe you will soar in the second half of your life! Just a few days ago, a favorite concubine next to the emperor came out once, and sprinkled money outside from the sedan chair. The big and small bosses who come here to do business generally think that their skills or utensils are above all living beings, and they are immortals who have wandered in the mortal world, and they are looking forward to one day returning to the court and going straight to the clouds. While greeting customers in front of the door, they always glance at the palace gate from time to time, for fear of missing the opportunity or adventure in their lives.
As soon as Li Yu and his entourage came out, they were immediately surrounded by a bunch of coachmen: "My lord, will you take my car?" "Ride mine, my car is the cleanest!"
Liu Cheng pushed away the swarming coachmen, Wang Shenming chose the cleanest-looking carriage waiting outside the palace gate, asked Li Yu to get on the carriage first, and followed into the carriage. Liu Cheng grasped the handle of the knife in his left hand and sat side by side with the coachman in the driver's seat. At this time, a group of hawkers who came from the periphery had to stop and return in a huff.
With the sound of the middle-aged coachman, the carriage began to move slowly towards the Yangtze River to the north. A young man who had been wandering around the neighborhood had his eyes shining since Li Yu came out, and he quietly and quickly turned his face away, raised his right hand high, and made an "OK" gesture into the distance. With a wave of his left hand, several drivers of similar vehicles also packed up their things, slowly started the carriage, and followed.
In the late spring, there are not many people on the road by car or on foot, and the road is gradually becoming congested. After sitting firmly in the car, Li Yu occasionally glanced at the twilight spring scenery by the window a few times, and his fingers kept pointing and scratching on the fan surface, practicing calligraphy all the time, and his mouth was chanting words. Wang Shenming smiled slightly, knowing that the master of the Dao had fallen into that kind of realm of wandering outside and concentrating.
The car had just traveled a short distance, and suddenly, when the driver heard a frenzied "whoo", the car stopped urgently, Li Yu and Wang Shenming pounced forward violently, and fell back to their seats.
"What's going on? Wang Shenming asked angrily.
"Reply to the master, the carriage in front suddenly stopped, and the small one had to stop." The coachman accompanied him carefully. Following the driver's guidance, Li Yu found a car on the road ahead, blocking the right half of the road.
"Childe, please wait, I'll take a look at the front." Liu Cheng jumped down and ran forward. Because he left the palace without permission, Li Yu asked Wang Shenming and Liu Cheng to call themselves princes, not His Royal Highness.
At that moment, several cars from behind caught up and blocked the left and rear of the vehicles. Listening to Wang Shenming's command, the driver who wanted to turn the direction from the left had to give up his efforts.
After a while, Liu Cheng turned back: "Childe, the axle of the car in front of me is broken, and I can't walk for a while." I'm going to blast them away. ”
"Everything goes with the flow, with the flow. We were originally traveling and playing, and we were not in a hurry. Forget it, just wait a minute. Li Yu waved his hand to stop Liu Cheng. Because of the fact that his grandfather Li Yu and father Li Jing believed in Buddhism, Li Yu was also a devout believer who was deeply inspired by the essence of Buddhism, so he naturally would not be angry because of such a trivial matter.
"Sir! Mr! ”
"Sir, sir, we have tried for a long time the homework you assigned us yesterday, but we can't kick a stone up the steps, you can teach us!"
A noisy child's voice came from the side of the road on the right, attracting Li Yu, who was a little depressed.
"Okay, don't worry, everyone. Let's take a look at the field. A voice with a clear tone but a somewhat strange speech attracted Li Yu's attention to a young scholar in an old but very neat Confucian costume in front of the incense and candle shop.
"Experiments? What a strange word, huh? Li Yu's heart moved, and he watched it with all his heart.
The scholar handed the fan in his right hand to his left, bent down to find two small stones from the ground, and placed one under the stone steps of an incense and candle shop. "Chen Fei, you try again."
"Great!" A little boy of twelve or thirteen years old came out of the group of children, swept the snot that had reached his mouth with his hand, and kicked it with all his strength, and the stone hit the lower part of the stairs and bounced back.
"This stone is too small to kick up the steps with brute force alone, and we can't pick it up with our feet, so how can we make it jump up the steps? At this time, we can take advantage of the momentum. For example, I'll take another small stone ......" The scholar put another stone in his hand in front of the stone in front of his head, and when he kicked it lightly, the stone touched the stone in front of him, changed its flight path, and hit the middle of the first step and the second step, and the stone turned twice and lay on the first step.
"Oh, it worked, it worked!" A group of children shouted.
"Sir, you've solved so many strange problems for us, you're amazing!" Chen Fei looked at the scholar with a look of admiration.
"When faced with a problem, knowing that it is not possible for the time being, you should calm down, concentrate on thinking, break the shackles in your mind, and try boldly, you can find many ways. For example, we can lay a ramp under the stairs and kick the stones up the stairs smoothly. The scholar smiled and said, "Okay, today, I will assign you another assignment, a boat appears from the sea far away, what part of the ship do we see first?" ”
"It must be a whole boat!"
"No, it has to be the bow of the ship." The children immediately argued.
"Seeing is believing, hearing is false. You can go back and ask people who have been out to sea. We'll see you again tomorrow! The scholar patted the dirt on his hands, got up and walked north along the street.
"He's an interesting person. Ziyue, you say, what part should you see first? Li Yu turned his head and asked Wang Shenming, who was watching all this with wide eyes.
"The villain is not sure, it should be the bow of the ship, right?" Wang Shenming said with some hesitation.
Judging from this person's behavior and intentions, it should not be so simple. Meeting is fate, we might as well ask him directly. Li Yu also muttered a little, and instructed Liu Cheng to invite the scholar over.
After a while, Liu Cheng led the scholar to the front of the car.
"I'm sorry, my son-in-law is very curious about your demeanor. Take the liberty of asking, what should the ships coming from afar see first......" Wang Shenming asked first.
"Ziyue, don't be so rude. This brother, please, in Xia Li Congjia, what is your Excellency's name? I don't have the same accent as I am from the Southern Tang Dynasty. Li Yu interrupted Wang Shenming's questioning.
"In Xia Linfeng, a Baoyi person in Xingzhou, admired the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty's literary style, panicked out of the suffering of war and strife in the north, and crossed the river to come, hoping to participate in the imperial examination one day." The scholar took a deep look and raised his head. His gaze quickly swept over Li Yu's face, and when he saw that Li Yu's left eye was two pupils and his teeth were neat buckteeth, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he quietly turned his gaze away a little.
Yes, he is Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty who was called the "Emperor of Words" by later generations and loved beauty and did not love the country, and he should still be named Congjia at this time! Lin Feng officially recognized it in his heart.
There are two pupils in one eye, which is the "double pupil" mentioned in ancient books. Ancient books once stated that people with double pupils were saints. Yu Shun and Xiang Yu are the most famous double pupils in history, and the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai once wrote the poem "Nine doubts are similar, what is the lonely grave of the double pupil", which is Shun. In the "History of the New Five Dynasties" and Lu You's "Book of the Southern Tang Dynasty", it is clearly recorded that Li Yu is a "double pupil". And Li Yu, the word is heavy, and this is also because of this. In fact, in modern medicine, this condition belongs to adhesion distortion of the pupil.
Teeth are overlapping teeth, which actually refer to relatively neat buckteeth, and have been considered to be the image of saints since ancient times. According to reports, Emperor Yu, King Wu of Zhou, and Confucius all had teeth. The History of the New Five Dynasties? The Southern Tang family? Li Yu once recorded that "Yu is benevolent and filial, good at literature, calligraphy and painting, and plump forehead, teeth, and heavy pupils." ”
This scholar was none other than Lin Feng, who disappeared in the lightning. All these arrangements in front of him were all a bureau arranged by Lin Feng for this Merry Emperor, and the origin of the bureau was the fruit knife.
