Chapter 9 Who in the world is not a caged bird
Before the Tibetan Sword Mountain was named after the sword, it was actually inaccessible and its reputation was not obvious.
There is no beautiful scenery, and it is not as majestic as other famous mountains.
No one has been there for a long time, the mountains are wild, there are many old trees, and there is a sense of recklessness.
Before Wu Sinan entered the mountain, he had a heartfelt conversation with Mama Deng.
It's about the surname of the Wu character.
The Wu royal family of the Great Feather Dynasty has a grudge against the remnants of the old Shu Kingdom, and most of the people who can enter the Tibetan Sword Mountain are unwilling to call the Dayu Dynasty a vassal, even if it is now a Liuli Dynasty, the accounts that should be counted must be calculated.
At least that Liu Cheng is still in Yuzhou, and the remnants of Shu are still in a day, so he will not be happy.
Wu Sinan changed his surname, and after entering the mountain, he called himself Fan Sinan.
After all, her mother, Fan Shu, imprisoned herself in the palace of the Dayu Dynasty for 20 years, in exchange for the "survival" of the remnants of the 30 cities of Shu Kingdom.
It was only then that Fan Sinan saved this monstrous Shu land "people".
Fan Sinan faintly had a feeling that as early as many years ago, his mother Fan Shu began to plan a retreat for Fan Sinan.
In the Tibetan Sword Mountain, there are many buildings, most of which were built in the past 20 years, and the continuous houses and buildings in the mountain range alone can accommodate thousands of people.
Among them, there is a large hall in the middle, the weather is majestic, at first glance, it looks like a palace in the mountains.
In front of the main hall, hang a huge plaque, "Qianling Palace", which is the old Shu script.
In the main hall, it is almost the same as the "Qianling Palace" of His Majesty the Emperor of the Old Palace of Shu Kingdom, except for the main seat in the center, no one sits, and there are dozens of people sitting on the left and right rows of tables and chairs, and they are deliberating.
It's better to say that it's a discussion, it's better to say that it's a quarrel, and the quarrel with the country folk is the same, and the spit stars are splashing everywhere, and it's louder than anyone, and I'm almost about to roll up my sleeves and fight.
Mama Deng stepped sideways and took the lead in stepping into the door, followed by Fan Sinan.
"Junior, Fan Sinan, I have seen all uncles, uncles, sisters and aunts!"
After Fan Sinan entered the hall, he stood at the door of the hall and saluted the juniors of the old Shu Kingdom to everyone in the hall.
In the main hall, it is not that there are no young people, but young juniors, no one dares to accept the salute of his peer Fan Sinan, maybe in the near future, Fan Sinan will sit on the main seat in the center, condescending, and be bowed by everyone else.
After Fan Sinan saluted, dozens of people in the hall were silent at first, and then many of the white-haired and white-bearded elders began to greet each other politely, as if they had seen the younger generations of the family who had not seen them for many years.
The rest of the people didn't get very warm, just sat and nodded to Fan Sinan.
Fan Sinan roughly guessed some off-string sounds, in fact, they didn't think about hiding it, after all, this "Her Royal Highness the Princess" will know sooner or later.
In the Tibetan Sword Mountain in northern Shu, there were almost no big words written on the bottom of the mountain, "Lao Tzu wants to rebel".
Now that the young emperor Wang Teng has just replaced the Dayu Dynasty, he is not in the right position, and naturally the people in the world are unstable, plus now the family belongings of the Tibetan Sword Mountain are no longer as shabby as in previous years, whether it is the contradiction between swords and halberds, or the bow and crossbow protector war horse, what do you want, too lazy to hide it anymore.
As long as the time is ripe, you can capture Luzhou at any time and rebuild Shu.
As for this timing, Fan Sinan is one of the keys.
In fact, the spy planted in Dianliang, the capital of the Liuli Dynasty, has already spread the news, but the dozens of people in the main hall have been arguing for a few days, and they haven't come up with a reason for the time being.
Some of the old ministers of Shu, especially the group of civil officials who did not go to the battlefield back then, insisted on letting Fan Sinan preside over the overall situation, and a group of military generals, especially those who survived from the battlefield twenty years ago, pointed at the nose of those civil officials and scolded, it is the daughter of Her Royal Highness the princess Fan Shu, but it is also the daughter of Wu Jian who destroyed our country, who grew up in the palace of the Dayu Dynasty, not our Shu Kingdom, who knows that it is not a fairy hand planned by the young emperor Wang Teng?
What's more, Fan Sinan is only nineteen years old now, how can he afford such a big responsibility? Especially on that battlefield, it was their generals who fought for their lives, who dared to give their lives to a girl who grew up in the palace of the Great Feather Dynasty.
In the middle, he said that in the name of Fan Shu, the former princess, he started the incident, anyway, for 20 years, it has been everyone above the hall who is planning, and now this family property is accumulated by them bit by bit above the hall, you want to set it up, let her be a puppet emperor from now on, why is it difficult?
As for the time when it is done, no matter who sits on the seat of the Ninety-Five, she will be named the county lord, or simply give the name of a princess, which can be regarded as worthy of Fan Shu.
If it weren't for the one in Shushan, who guarded the lotus pond all day long and didn't ask about the world, and the two of Lianhua County and Shunan Zhuhai didn't want to sit in that position to preside over the overall situation, and they were not as good as Fan Shu, when they mentioned it, it would make people miss and even be angry.
There are dozens of people in the main hall, which can already be called a real small court of Xinshu, and they will not quarrel for several days for a Fan Sinan.
In fact, after Mama Deng saw Fan Sinan, she no longer wanted Fan Sinan to go to Hidden Sword Mountain, but there are some things that can not be avoided if you don't want to.
The news of Princess Lianhua's assassination in Yuzhou has begun to circulate in Chongqing and Shu, especially in Yuzhou, the boundary of the king of Yuzhou, many people talk about this matter in private, and often add a prefix of "remnants of the old Shu Kingdom" in front of Princess Lianhua.
Fan Sinan held the junior salute, and after greeting the elders, he left directly, from beginning to end, only one step into the door.
The scenery of Zangjian Mountain is indeed not as good as other famous mountains in the world, there is no special commendable characteristic, but it is just a little more reckless and ancient, in the dense forest, there are old trees everywhere, there are many birds, beasts, insects and fish, and there are no lack of jackals, tigers and leopards.
When Fan Sinan was young, he had followed the emperor Wu Thorn at that time, and visited the Zhibei Mountain, which is the same as Shu Mountain, which is the authentic Taoist vein of the world, but on the North Mountain, there is a large pine forest, and the Taoist people on the mountain often take the dew on the branches and leaves of the pine tree, sit and forget in the mountains, make sencha and boil wine, listen to the pine waves, and watch the white clouds come and go, which is a must.
Born in Confucianism, after the collapse of his family and country, he went to Dianliang City, and picked up a large lump of gold before he died, but the old man who threw tens of millions of gold in the Yongding River in the Huayue Water Pavilion is now in Zhibei Mountain, wearing a Taoist robe.
At that time, there was an assassination in Yanxia City, Yuzhou, I don't know if the man with superb boxing skills intended to let him go, or the young emperor intended to let him go, I don't know if the young emperor has a bigger plan behind it, I don't know if the "deliberately rebellious" Tibetan Sword Mountain sent people, and why only sent Deng Mama, who was not good at martial arts, to come, Fan Sinan didn't know when and where he would be stabbed into the body with a sword.
They want the name of the princess, so give it to them.
Take things as they come!
Since he has arrived in Shudi, he is still trapped in many schemes, and his life is naturally worry-free for the time being. Then just take a stroll, since there is no scenery worth visiting, go to see those famous sword "ruins", and casually touch the sword intent of the predecessors.
In fact, the fingering of the Fan family of the Shu royal family is not only fingering, but also stitching and swordsmanship.
Since ancient times, the world's unique Shu embroidery is famous all over the world, that pick the flower needle, is from the Shu embroidery, can be embroidery, the same can kill people.
And that fingering, the origin is even earlier, ordinary people, picking flowers and mulberries, often women are faster than the young and strong men with greater strength, and more effortless, over time, the technique of picking flowers and mulberries gradually evolved into murderous fingering, but killing with fingers, after all, is not as difficult as the needle and sword, cultivation.
As for the swordsmanship, it is hundreds of years ago that Fan was a stunning female ancestor on the road of martial arts, integrating fingering and needlework, in the peach forest of the west of Shu, created the sword method of picking flowers, the woman led the sword to cut the peach blossoms, heroic posture, graceful and moving, with the sword method of picking flowers to cut people, often the most elusive, can not be prevented.
It's just that Fan Sinan only learned the basic fingering and stitching, and he didn't have time to learn the swordsmanship, in the palace, he practiced picking flowers and needles, and he had to borrow the name of embroidery to practice quietly.
Seven swords, seven ruins, when the original Shu Kingdom was still there, there were many people who loved swords and came famously, after the fall of the Shu Kingdom, especially the remnants of the old Shu Kingdom, Deng Mama, occupied this Tibetan Sword Mountain and fell into the grass, basically no one dared to come.
What's more, there is no nameless sword hidden mountain, in order to see the ruins, you have to take the risk of taking your life, it is not worth it.
Fan Sinan arrived at the tree hole where the sword was hidden and the "broken branches" were indeed nothing unusual, overgrown with weeds, and there was a nest of owls living in it, but the simple thatched huts built by the disciples of Xijianxia in the past have not collapsed yet, and it should be because someone continued to repair them later.
Fan Sinan glanced at the thatched hut and chattered, in the thatched hut, there were many birdcages hanging.
The thatched hut was not closed, as for the birdcage, there was simply no door, and he was not afraid to see Fan Sinan, and there were even a few small sparrows not much bigger than his thumb, jumping on Fan Sinan's shoulder.
An old man with white hair and white beard walked towards Fan Sinan with two crutches.
One of the old man's legs has long been empty, and the other leg is not touching the ground, it is completely "walking" with two crutches, but it looks like a "steady step".
On the crutches, there were two small bags hanging, the old man put down the crutches, Fan Sinan helped the old man, and scattered the two small bags of millet into various bird food jars.
The old man who called himself Fan Tian did not have any polite greetings, nor did he have the sentence "Her Royal Highness Princess" that Fan Sinan no longer wanted to hear, just like the elders and young juniors with inconvenient legs.
The old man sat aside, while feeding the birds, and said: "In fact, these birds and birds are mountain wild birds, in the early years I used to farm and study alone in Taolin County, one of the neighbors is a famous local bird catcher, this person catches birds, never uses any bird nets and bird sets, only uses bird food, and is good at attracting them. ”
Fan Sinan grabbed a small handful of millet rice, and then spread out his palm, and a few birds landed on Fan Sinan's palm and pecked gently.
The old man stroked his beard and smiled, and continued: "The old man has learned superficially, and it took five or six years to lure the birds and birds that came to these rooms, not as good as the old neighbor back then, and not as good as the one who just sat on the dragon chair in Dianliang City, which lured the whole world to disturb one after another, and in a few years, I am afraid that there will be corpses all over the field." ”
Fan Sinan sat next to the old man and asked, "In the past twenty years, how have the people of Shu lived?" ”
The old man said: "Sinan is in the palace of Dianliang City, but he often eats the delicacies of Shudi? The women of the dignitaries in the capital, but they love Shu embroidery the most? Many people's homes have one or two big cats shaped like bears and love to eat tender bamboo? ”
Fan Sinan nodded slightly.
The old man smiled bitterly: "It's all good things in our Shuzhou, in the past 20 years, the history of Shuzhou in office has basically been changed every two or three years, and coming to Shuzhou, it is different from other states and counties, and it doesn't need any political achievements, just search, the more you search, the faster you will be promoted." ”
The old man turned his head, glanced at Fan Sinan, and asked, "Have you ever guessed what the young emperor Wang Teng meant?" ”
Fan Sinan thought for a moment or two, and replied: "It is to force us to build a kingdom in Shudi, and use that strategy to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and defeat the 200,000 soldiers and horses of the king of Yuzhou." ”
The old man nodded and said: "Now that Chu land should be about the same situation as our Shuzhou, and the vassal king surnamed Wu in Chu is even worse than Liu Cheng, the king of Yuzhou. There are people in the court who can say a word or two for the people of Shu and Chu, if you really have to dare, then this person's official career will probably come to an end. This is Wang Teng's little er's conspiracy, to eliminate one and let you return to Shu, but it is just with your identity, with your mother's share of "harmony" twenty years ago, in exchange for a balance between Shu and Yuzhou, lest we not hurt the king of Yuzhou when we get it, but he Liu Cheng ate the foundation of Shu for twenty years of cultivation. In recent years, the merchant disciples have taken the Shu Road and quietly transported iron bows and crossbows to Shu, which can be regarded as the bargaining chips that Wang Teng Xiaoer quietly added to our Shu land. ”
Fan Tian gently tapped his shoulder with a cane and said, "I lure birds and birds with millet rice, Wang Teng tempts you with the safety of the entire Shu land, and tempts the whole world, why does Sinan think?" ”
Fan Sinan sighed, shook his palm slightly, pecked the bird and flew away, and said: "The bird is in the cage, and I don't dare to escape." ”
Under the general trend, it is extremely difficult to be born in the emperor's family, and it is extremely difficult to get out of those thousands of schemes.
Back then, Fan Shu couldn't let go of the remnants of a country, and now that the war is now, how dare Fan Sinan abandon it?
This is the genius of the young emperor Wang Teng.
On the big chessboard of the world, the chess pieces that cannot escape the calculation are always just chess pieces, and they cannot escape the control of the chess player, let alone turn over and become a chess player.
Fan Tian smiled slightly and said: "When I was young, I farmed and studied in Taolin County, but unfortunately I had to study, farm, and build a house, and when the harvest was not good, I didn't go hungry. Then one night, when I was still an old bachelor at the age of the crown, I had a beautiful dream, in the fairyland, bathing with the goddess in the sky, that taste, tsk. Later, guess what, when I woke up, it turned out that it was his mother that the house was leaking, and Lao Tzu said, how can it be that in the heavenly fairyland, the water is still so cold and cold, but what else can I do, continue to sleep, I don't dare to turn over, I am afraid of turning over, and Lao Tzu's dream is gone. ”
Fan Tian picked up a cane, gently tapped the remaining leg, and continued: "Later, I finally had a little bit of success in studying, married a wife, and mixed up an official position in Luzhou City, okay, I haven't allowed Lao Tzu to be extravagant, and Wu Jian of the dog day sent troops to fight again, what else?" There are not many people in the family, and the kitchen knife is not expensive, one per person, and the old man can still afford it. Later, he became an old bachelor who fed the whole family without hunger, and if he was missing a leg, what could he do, Lao Tzu was a scholar, and he could eat enough without relying on his legs. Later, when I got older, the remaining leg contracted some rheumatism and bone disease, but what could I do? Can't you walk without your legs? ”
Fan Sinan nodded slightly.
Fan Tian, an old man with white hair and white beard who only has one leg left but two crutches, finally smiled: "Although I can't walk, but it's windy and rainy, God knows first, Lao Tzu's leg, that is, the second knows, those things in the Yin and Yang family's farmhouse can't be compared with me, who is more anxious than Lao Tzu." ”
The old man put the two small bags back on his crutches and sighed: "People die for money, birds die for food, people are born as people, birds and birds have something to ask for, people also have to ask for something, as long as there is something to ask, who in the world is not a caged bird?" He Wang Teng is a child, is he an immortal? Now that he has tempted you with the safety of Shudi, why can't you repay what he asks? ”
Fan Sinan stood up and bowed respectfully, with juniors to elders, and students to gentlemen!
Fan Tian "stood" with two crutches and accepted this gift.
"Fan Tian, formerly known as Wang Dagou, lost his mother at a young age, lost his father at a young age, his family was poor, his farming skills were poor, he couldn't eat, he liked to study, and the official went to the old Shu State Household Department Shangshu, gave the surname Fan, and called himself Tian. In the first battle to protect the country, the whole family died, and they survived alone. Teaching for a living, with a rod as a leg, not slower than others, where teaching students, there are few who have not been roded. Later, he took charge of the three departments of the new Shu country, the household, and the ceremony, and died in the battle to protect the country of the new Shu country......"
When the old man left, he muttered to himself, I don't know if the historians of later generations had a sentence or two of genius when compiling my Fan Tianbiography.
The dream of bathing with the goddess turned out to be a house leak and rain!
The old man laughed: "That's it, Lao Tzu will be engraved on the tombstone when he goes back!" ”
When he thought of the scene of the later generations of Confucian scholars shaking their heads and reciting this poem, the old man was in a good mood, "With a stack of peanuts, you can go with two large pots of wine." ”
