The terrain of Hanzhou is flat, and there are few steep peaks.

War horses can gallop to their heart's content in Hanzhou, and fierce beasts can also fight to their heart's content.

In wartime, Hanzhou can easily dispatch millions of troops, and on ordinary days, Hanzhou is like a calm sea, without waves.

In terms of feng shui, Hanzhou has a king, not a dragon.

Under the calm sea, it may be as calm as ever, or maybe the undercurrent has already swept away.

But this does not affect the spirit of Wen Ruosong, the world's first scholar, who wants to come to Hanzhou, Wen Ruosong has heard a little about those old things, or knows a lot, but he can only pretend that he doesn't know.

A mediocre carriage appeared at the end of the sky, and the carriage was connected to the majestic mountains, and the majestic mountains were connected to the sky.

It's just a second-class horse-drawn carriage, the groom is an ordinary old man, looking at the age, he is almost sixty years old, there are few grooms in this grade, but the groom in this grade must have traveled a lot.

I've been to a lot of places and met a lot of people.

The mountain road was rugged and bumpy, and the old groom shook with the vehicle, which was really frightening, and if one was not careful, the old man's body and bones were scattered.

The groom's eyes were a little cloudy, he could barely see the road in front of him, and he was reluctant to whip the horse pulling the cart, they were all on the road, they were all hard, so why bother each other.

There was a polite and strong voice from the carriage: "After this round trip, Uncle Tian can go home, and there will be no need to drive a horse-drawn carriage for me in the future, no need to worry, there is still a lot of free time to reach Hanzhou from here." ”

Tian Lao didn't answer, he concentrated on controlling the direction of the carriage, there was no sadness or joy in his vicissitudes of life, after so many years, he was used to it, and he was tired of it, but he couldn't bear it.

Inside the carriage, there were two people.

Adults, about fifty years old, with a soft face, quite a bodhisattva, when they were young, they were not good-looking, nor ugly.

Dressed in a suit of good materials, Su Yi did not deliberately close his eyes to recuperate, holding a volume of scriptures in his hand, called "Diamond Sutra", Wen Ruosong was fascinated by it, and even muttered to himself from time to time.

Wen Yan's face was a little strange on the side, and he didn't know what was going on, in recent years, his father has been particularly interested in Buddhism.

I couldn't help but ask: "Father, you have read this book a thousand times, written it a hundred times, you should be able to eat it thoroughly, why are you still holding it in your hand?"

Wen Ruosong didn't remember to be angry, he was such a son, how could he bear it.

Instead, he asked softly: "You led the crowd to besiege and kill Yuan Zheng in Cangyun City, but you were thrown into the dung pit, what inspiration did this incident bring you?"

Wen Yan was stunned: "......"

Compared with most of the children of the powerful, Wen Yan is not so arrogant and domineering, let alone a young man with fresh clothes and angry horses, he is very well-behaved.

Since he was a child, he has been reading and writing, and as for the martial arts, it is just a matter of fate, and it would be good to be able to strengthen his body, and he didn't expect to be able to get much edification on the martial arts path, nor did he expect to become a master of the Heavenly Realm.

In Wen Yan's view, a reader should have the appearance of a reader.

It is certainly a good thing to be both civil and military, but since ancient times, people who are both civil and military have unilaterally compared poetry and songs, and they can't compare to those great poets and writers, and unilaterally kill people.

Both civil and military, can only be icing on the cake, but cannot send charcoal in the snow.

Wen Yan loves cleanliness very much, when he was a child, he often held a broom alone, cleaned the courtyard inside and out, and also loved washing clothes.

In short, when you see dust, Wen Yan can't help but wipe it clean.

Over the years, Wen Yan has made good connections, and his reputation in the imperial city is more dominated by cardinals, and almost no one has ever seen Wen Yan's fresh clothes and angry horses in the city, and no one has seen Wen Yan lose his manners.

He is gentle and strict, gentle with others and strict with himself.

Up and down the government and the opposition, I don't know how many people envy Wen Ruosong for having a good son, even if he has only one son, he can top up to ten sons of others.

Father's question made Wen Yan a little unsure how to answer.

But since my father asked so, Wen Yan still has to answer it.

After pondering for a long time, he responded: "Unilateral fighting, I can't beat Yuan Zheng, compared with the rest of the tactics, it seems that I can't compare, the only one who can win Yuan Zheng is afraid that it is just useless poetry and songs." ”

"Having said that, maybe Yuan Zheng's literary style is not weaker than mine. ”

"I didn't know about that person, and I didn't doubt myself. ”

Wen Ruosong smiled softly, over the years, as the head of civil officials, Wen Ruosong rarely talked and chatted with his son, and as for his son's homework, Wen Ruosong never paid much attention to it.

Even Wen Ruosong didn't know what type of girl his son liked and what style of clothes he liked to wear.

I don't know what my son is most interested in in his spare time.

But the son's reputation is very good, Wen Ruosong's reputation is also good, and the father and son have invisibly supported the backbone of the Great Wei scholars.

Wen Ruosong said: "The Diamond Sutra, listening to the name, seems to be quite powerful and majestic, but in fact it is a supreme and gentle scripture, it depends on whether you can appreciate it." ”

"His Royal Highness King Wu is a fierce beast, a fierce beast that has experienced a hundred battles, if you want to subdue its people, you must first surrender its heart, but throughout the world, no one can subdue the fierce beast of Yuan Tieshan. ”

"I don't expect to be able to take advantage of Yuan Tieshan, just on this road, take a look at the Diamond Sutra, and try not to suffer from Yuan Tieshan when the time comes. ”

Wen Yan sighed and said, "Is this a contest between a scholar and a martial artist?"

Wen Ruosong shook his head and said with a soft smile: "On the surface, this is indeed the case, but in fact, I am a supreme minister, and he is also in a state where there is no reward, and when I reach this position, I am not a simple scholar, nor is he a simple martial artist." ”

"Throughout the ages, the contradiction between a scholar and a martial artist is like a contradiction between a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law, a dead knot that cannot be dissolved. ”

"But you also have to remember that we scholars should not look down on martial artists, scholars can only add icing on the cake, and martial artists can send charcoal in the snow. ”

"Think about it, the relationship between our scholars and martial artists is to recruit a few people with good skills to take care of the family nursing home. ”

"If you look at the relationship between martial artists and scholars, almost every military general has a staff member and military advisor by his side, in addition to the lack of a think tank, it is also because they really look down on scholars, but they just look down on them in their mouths. ”

"Be generous, if the martial arts are not generous enough, the martial arts will not go far. ”

"If a scholar is not generous, he will not be able to get out of this narrow heaven and earth. ”

Wen Yan listened very seriously, everyone understands this truth, but the same truth, when it comes out of different people's mouths, the quality is also very different.

After listening to it for a long time, Wen Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Father is planning to make me forget Yuan Zheng, and I don't need to have too many entanglements with Yuan Zheng in the future?"

Wen Ruosong nodded.

Sending his son to Cangyun City, Wen Ruosong knew from the beginning that Wen Yan would not gain any benefits there.

Compared with Yuan Qing, Yuan Qing is really both civil and military, the first disciple of Qi Yongnian of the Jixia School Palace, holding the dragon halberd, and having the courage of ten thousand people.

In such a comparison, the ink in Wen Yan's stomach may not be as black and rich as Yuan Qing.

Compared with Yuanlin, Yuanlin's kendo cultivation, almost no one among young people can stand out, in terms of poetry and songs, Yuanlin has been in the Vientiane Sword Pool, and has been immersed in the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, but Yuanlin is hidden relatively deeply, relatively low-key, and no one knows.

In the matter of struggle, since ancient times, people like Yuan Tieshan who do not pay attention to it and do not compromise have the upper hand.

Wen Ruosong just happened to have enough chance to create enough, and he was just a child of an ordinary big family, not a famous scholar.

Calculated carefully, there are many similarities between Wen Ruosong and Yuan Tieshan, such as the starting point.

Wen Ruosong has taken the path of a scholar and has experienced a lot of ups and downs and pickled things.

Yuan Tieshan took the route of martial arts, and he was also the position of the martial king.

From the bottom of his heart, Wen Ruosong has always respected Yuan Tieshan, just because he is really an iron backer, with Yuan Tieshan, no matter how mighty the Great Qin Iron Horse is, the hearts of the people will always feel a little real, even if the reputation of Yuan Tieshan is not so good.

Thinking about it, before the war, it was also a good thing that there was still a pillar like Yuan Tieshan in his family.

Yuan Tieshan has always respected Wen Ruosong, above the temple, no matter what kind of second-grade member you are, or a feudal official, or His Majesty the Emperor's favorite official, Yuan Tieshan was angry, dared to splash blood in front of the palace, and dared to kill, no matter who you are, Yuan Tieshan doesn't care.

Wen Ruosong is the only exception.

Because Yuan Tieshan respected Wen Ruosong, not only because he was the head of the civil officials, but because of the Great Wei after the Great War, all kinds of ruins were waiting to be rebuilt, and the treasury was poor.

Thanks to Wen Ruosong, a good-tempered scholar, he planned the layout, cast nets everywhere, appeased Huairou, and restored the vitality of Dawei little by little, not to mention restoring the peak, at least it was enough.

It is also because of Wen Ruosong's hard work and resentment over the years that he has patched up the seams of the Great Wei people's livelihood, so that His Majesty the Emperor and Yuan Tieshan have enough courage to face the Great Qin Iron Cavalry.

Yuan Tieshan also knew in his heart that if there was no Wen Ruosong, I am afraid that he would be as fierce as a cloud under his account, and he would not have any silver to squander.

Wen Yan said: "Actually, I don't hate Yuan Zheng, even if Yuan Zheng did that thing very unparticular, but think about it, Yuan Zheng didn't do anything wrong in that matter, and he didn't kill me in a fit of anger, the nature of this matter is like stinky tofu, it smells stinky, and it tastes delicious." ”

"The soldiers have solved the crisis in Cangyun City without blood. ”

"Although I lost, in retrospect, I was convinced. ”

"I've always been curious, who is Yuan Zheng's master, if there is no smart enough master, he will not train an apprentice like Yuan Zheng. ”

The master who reads and writes is naturally Chen Yu.

As a world-famous military teacher, Chen Yu actually did not teach Yuan Qing or Yuan Lin, because these two sisters-in-law were arranged clearly from the beginning.

Only Yuan Zheng, a prodigal, can be taught by Chen Yu, a dog-headed military teacher.

But throughout Chen Yu's military career, it seems that he has never done anything unsophisticated.

Wen Ruosong put down the Diamond Sutra in his hand, and said thoughtfully: "I have a good impression of Chen Yu, a scholar, although he is not a serious person, he may be in collusion with a martial artist like Yuan Tieshan, and it is also a good fate to have the same hatred for the enemy." ”

"Over the years, I have hardly heard of Chen Yu's movements in poetry and songs, but I have heard that Chen Yu understands the truth, and he is relatively honest and simple, like potatoes, the price is cheap, it tastes delicious, and it is enough to manage the full. ”

"It's quite affordable for a person, but if a person gets too affordable, life will slowly become boring. ”

"But Chen Yu has always been a very interesting person. ”

Wen Yan didn't know a lot about the old past, but he heard that Chen Yu was a poor and sour talent back then, and he almost starved to death in the imperial city, that is, at that time, he met Yuan Tieshan, and it was rumored that the reason why Yuan Tieshan reused Chen Yu back then was actually just that Chen Yu looked more pleasing to the eye.

This statement has been fried in the mouth of the storyteller.

But there are really not many people who believe this statement, it has always been in the clouds, and between people, it seems to be very close, but in fact it is also very far.

Wen Ruosong continued: "I don't know who Yuan Zheng's master is, and the people in the iron hook haven't gotten a definite piece of information, it seems that he is a master of the Heavenly Realm, but there are only a handful of Heavenly Realm masters who use swords in the world. ”

"No matter how you calculate it, there is no master of Yuanzheng. ”

"Perhaps, a real heavenly man. ”

Wen Yan heard his father say this, his heart chuckled, and he asked solemnly: "What my father means is that the two sons of King Wu were arranged clearly and clearly for everyone to see, as for the concubine Yuanzheng, it is what Zhenger Bajing cares about, so he hides it deeply, so he wanders the rivers and lakes, and it will take about two or three years to wait for Yuan Zheng to reach the year of the crown, and return to the Wuwang Mansion, it is very likely to become the most valuable prince of the King of Wu?"

This may not be for nothing.

Before the war, Yuan Tieshan did not have much dominance with his eldest brother.

But once the war starts, Yuan Tieshan's eldest brother has to let Yuan Tieshan do everything, in case his brother-in-law is unhappy, he won't poke out the big basket.

Wen Ruosong squinted his eyes, people of this age squinted their eyes, and they would always give people the appearance of being cunning and very unbeaten, but Wen Ruosong didn't have this feeling, but was amiable, thick and simple.

"Maybe, the affairs of the Yuan family are also equal to the affairs of the world, and when Yuan Zheng reaches the year of the crown, he will know everything. Wen Ruosong said.

Wen Yan was interested for a while, but fortunately, this time, his father had to come to Hanzhou through mountains and rivers, otherwise he really wouldn't have had the opportunity to get along with his father so closely.

He asked: "His Royal Highness King Wu, what kind of person was he back then, and what was the situation when my father and His Royal Highness King Wu met for the first time?"

When it comes to the past, older people can always return to their youth as soon as possible.

Wen Ruosong recalled carefully.

said: "King Wu was a very strong little general back then, born with a tall horse, a burly physique, but the skin is not bad, when he is not willing, he often builds a Beijing Temple, let the people under his hands go to the aftermath, and also divides some of the originally more rich military merits." ”

"I heard that in the imperial city of the Great Wei Dynasty, there was a girl who admired Yuan Tieshan's demeanor on the battlefield very much, and secretly thought about Yuan, whenever Yuan Tieshan won a battle, that girl would come out for the first time to cheer and cheer for Yuan Tieshan, and also wrote many side poems that men could not write, praising Yuan Tieshan's world-class style. ”

"It's not that girl thinks that Yuan Tieshan has a world-class style, but that all the people of our generation recognize Yuan Tieshan's world-class style, but unfortunately, Yuan Tieshan will not be a very good person, otherwise, he will be more independent. ”

"Back then, I also envied Yuan Tieshan, a dignified eight-foot man, throwing his head and spilling blood, Jin Ge Iron Horse cast brilliantly, even if he will succeed in ten thousand bones, but that earth-shattering, only belongs to the evil spirit on the battlefield, and no one in the world is his opponent. ”

"He created an era, if there was no Yuan Tieshan, there would be no today's Great Wei. ”

Wen Yan listened very seriously, everyone knows that Yuan Tieshan in the past is a model for countless men, and to this day, many people who join the army are also because they yearn for Yuan Tieshan and want to become a person like Yuan Tieshan.

Compared with Pang Zong, Yuan Tieshan is more ingenious and unworkable.

Pang Zong's reputation was mixed, and the crusade against Western Shu almost exhausted the treasury of Great Wei.

If Pang Zong could have taken the old Xishu without bloodshed, maybe today's situation would be very interesting.

Speaking of three-legged, Wen Ruosong, Pang Zong, and Yuan Tieshan, in fact, it is a two-legged stand.

Because there is only one person like Yuan Tieshan, such as Wen Ruosong and Pang Zong, there may be a second one, and the third one, depending on whether the fate allows it.

Wen Yan asked curiously, "What happened to the girl who liked Yuan Tieshan back then?"

This is an old story that only a few people know.

Wen Ruosong said regretfully: "That girl's appearance, in the imperial city can not talk about the outstanding, but the talent is gorgeous, there is only that girl in the imperial city, and later His Majesty gave Princess Qiuhua to Yuan Tieshan, after the girl heard the news, she hanged herself at home, and before she died, she also wrote a poem. ”

"The name of that poem is Wu Wang Fu. ”

"When I was young, I joined the army, and I drew my sword in all directions. ”

"Mo is singing and dancing, and the iron horse is autumn wind. ”

"The most bitter daughter's heart, the most happy daughter's heart. ”

"On the princess's wedding day, when the daughter broke her bowel. ”

"If we meet in the next life, we will drink and talk happily. ”

At the beginning of this poem, it caused countless women to cry sadly in the Imperial City of Daye, and it also made many people cry secretly and sigh to themselves. ”

"If it weren't for His Majesty's iron-blooded means to prohibit it back then, this poem would have been famous all over the world. ”

Wen Yan felt a little sad in his heart, he didn't know what kind of eventful years his fathers had gone through, but from this poem, he saw the reflection of an era.

"Does His Royal Highness King Wu know that there is a woman who loves him so much?" asked Wen Yan.

Wen Ruosong said softly: "I know, on the eighth day of that girl's burial, His Royal Highness King Wu secretly went to put on a stick of incense, and bought a pot of fine flower carvings, and poured it in front of the girl's grave. ”

"No one knows what he said at the grave. ”

It's a mystery.

Wuwang Yuan Tieshan was sitting cross-legged in front of the girl's grave at that time, drank half of the flower carving in the wine jug, and poured half of it in front of the grave.

He said: "Why do you need to be in the next life, this situation and this scene, at this moment, you and I can also drink and talk about the world. ”

Wen Ruosong said: "Actually, I envy Yuan Tieshan, from beginning to end, he has not been smoothed out by the so-called human sophistication, he is still him, and he is still the young man who was tense when he didn't agree with him." ”

"But I can't be a person like Yuan Tieshan, I'm a scholar, and a scholar has to talk about the rules and abide by the rules. ”

"I remember the first time I met Yuan Tieshan, it was in that dumpling restaurant at the south gate of the imperial city. ”

"At that time, I was just a minor official in the household department, and Yuan Tieshan was not today's martial king. ”

"I don't have much money for a month, and after paying the rent, there is not much left, and some fellow villagers come to the imperial city to beg for a living, and I have to help one or two. ”

"One day, I wanted to eat dumplings very much, it was not the winter solstice, and there was no snow, it seemed to be late autumn, and I didn't meet your mother. ”

"At that time, I thought that the money on my body should be enough to eat a bowl of dumplings. ”

But what I didn't expect was that I ate a bowl of dumplings, as if I had just appetized, and then I forgot that I didn't have much money on my body, and I couldn't help but ask for another bowl of dumplings, until I finished eating and had to pay the bill, I found that I was shy in my pocket. ”

"At that time, Yuan Tieshan was sitting opposite me, and he saw my embarrassed look. ”

And without saying a word, he gave me a tael of silver. ”

At that time, he said: It's not as delicious as dumplings, but it's fun as my sister-in-law, I appreciate people like you who dare to come out to do things if you don't have enough money. ”

I didn't know how to answer him at the time, so I smiled awkwardly and accepted his two pieces of silver. ”

"Anyway, he got me out of the embarrassment of not having enough money. ”

"That was the first time I met Yuan Tieshan, and the second time I met, it was above the court, I had just become the prime minister, and he had just become the king of martial arts. ”

"After the morning dynasty, I took the initiative to find Yuan Tieshan and told him that if I invite you to eat dumplings, I won't take you to play-sister-in-law. ”

Yuan Tieshan smiled, he still had injuries on his body, and probably the rest of the entertainment, but he didn't refuse me, we went to the dumpling restaurant again, that time, I gambled with Yuan Tieshan to eat dumplings, I ate five big bowls, I really couldn't hold it, but he ate nine big bowls of dumplings. ”

"Whoever eats more will have greater ability, and from that time, I knew that in my life, I would not be the opponent of Yuan Tieshan. ”

Wen Yan felt a little funny, but also a little sad.

This is the past of his fathers, and he finally knows why the dumplings are so delicious.

This time he went to Hanzhou, Wen Ruosong didn't plan to get anything from Yuan Tieshan, but he planned to lose something in Hanzhou.

Wen Yan suddenly asked: "If I meet Yuan Qing and Yuan Lin, how should I say hello, and will they embarrass me?"

This question really stopped Wen Ruosong.

was dropped into the dung pit by Yuan Zheng, it seems that Wen Yan has been greatly wronged, but people all over the world feel that Yuan Zheng has done something wrong, it is Wen Yan who has been wronged, and all the sympathetic emotions and words have been thrown on Wen Yan's body.

also threw all the blame and abuse on Yuan Zheng's body.

Whoever is an elder brother must love his younger brother.

Thinking of this, Wen Yan's heart was not so steady.

Wen Ruosong comforted: "If the two brothers want to compete with you, don't refuse, just accept it, anyway, you can't beat them, you can't win, can't you afford to lose?"

"They know it. ”

Wen Yan nodded.

In this way, day after day, the groom also worked tirelessly, starry nights, and slept in the open.

After all, on the day of the beginning of summer, I came outside Hanzhou.

It is here at noon, the birds and flowers on the border of Hanzhou are fragrant, for the literati, it is the best welcome ceremony, maybe some literati do not like this kind of welcome ceremony, and they will feel decent if they have to put up the lights.

The groom stopped, and on the border, Yuan Tieshan and Chen Yu were waiting here.

King Wu did not wear his python robe and jade belt, and the military division did not deliberately dress up, both of them were plain clothes, and both of them were ordinary people.

In the carriage, the groom opened the door curtain, and Wen Ruosong, who was not very strong, walked out of the carriage slowly, followed by Wen Yan.

Yuan Tieshan stood here with a big grin, looked at Wen Ruosong and said with a smile: "It seems that in the past few years, your body and bones have been getting worse day by day, only in your fifties, and you are the same as you are seventy or eighty, and you don't know how to take a magnificent carriage all the way." ”

Wen Yan watched this scene quietly, and the old friends who had not seen him for many years had met.

He didn't expect that the tall and burly middle-aged man was Yuan Tieshan, nor did he expect that the middle-aged man with a square head, brain, and small eyes was Chen Yu.

It seems a little simple, but my father's face is still good.

Being able to let Wuwang Yuan Tieshan and the military master Chen Yu personally greet them at the border of Hanzhou, there are not many people in the world who can have such treatment.

It is estimated that even the Ninety-Five Venerable in the Imperial City would not let Yuan Tieshan treat him like this.

Wen Ruosong stepped forward and shook hands with Yuan Tieshan warmly, and also shook hands with Chen Yu, the handshake between the two scholars was not very forceful, they were all smiling.

"I'm not you, as a martial king, some are kung fu martial arts practice to strengthen the body, if you don't dislike it, let's change it, you will be the prime minister, I will be the martial king, how about it?" Wen Ruosong said with a smile.

Yuan Tieshan said seriously: "This is okay, the next time I go to the early dynasty, I will go and talk to my uncle Haosheng about this matter, the old man of Wuwang for so many years has a sore back, change it to a good one, and you can also cultivate your self well." ”

One article and one martial arts, haha laughing.

Yuan Tieshan eagerly took Wen Ruosong's hand and walked towards the glorious and magnificent Martial King's Mansion, thousands of miles of smoke and clouds shone in front of him to open the way, and Chen Yu followed behind.

Wen Yan walked in front of Chen Yu, not panicking, more of the uneasiness and shyness of young people when they saw their elders.
