However, it was said that Xin Qiji went to Jiangyin Ferry to pick up the so-called Shangguan, but it was Yu Yunwen, the envoy of the western system of Hubei and Beijing.

It turned out that the imperial court sent an envoy to negotiate peace with the Jin State, and Tang Siwei, the prime minister who was bent on peace, wanted to give up the four states of Tang, Deng, Hai and Si controlled by the Southern Song Dynasty.

Yu Yunwen fought five times and refused to give up the Tang and Deng prefectures under his jurisdiction.

This move offended Tang Sihui, and Tang Sihui was furious, falsely accusing him of "misleading the country with big words to invite good names", and pretending to ask him to return to the DPRK, in fact, there was a sense of exclusion.

So Yu Yunwen returned the seal ribbon, begged Zhishi, and still insisted that he could not give up the four states, and this time he came to Jiangyin City, not by the way, but in a depressed mood, and came to the front line to investigate, in order to find evidence to convince the emperor.

Along the way, Yu Yunwen didn't want to contact the local officials, and avoided some officials who wanted to flatter, of course, some local officials knew that Yu Yunwen had offended the right minister Tang Sihui, and where Yu Yunwen was needed to dodge, they avoided it early.

Xin Qiji knew that it was Yu Yunwen when he received the information, but he was overjoyed in his heart, where did he have the idea of avoiding it, he just wanted to be close to Yu Yunwen, after all, Xin Qiji was also a person who fought the main battle.

Yu Yunwen saw that Xin Qiji was so active in asking for a meeting, and also knew that Xin Qiji had offered advice to the emperor, and knew Xin Qiji's suggestions from some channels, and also understood Xin Qiji's political tendencies, but he couldn't avoid it.

So the two got together.

This meeting is a late meeting.

And it's no wonder.

Xin Qiji was the idol of many scholars in later generations, but they didn't know that there was a scholar who was even more fierce than Xin Qiji at this time.

This scholar is called Yu Yunwen.

Xin Qiji is indeed an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, the best writer among generals, and the most capable of fighting among the poets.

But if he was the most war-like literati in the Southern Song Dynasty, Yu Yunwen was the first to disagree.

To say that the most civilian, military and military person in the entire Southern Song Empire, it is really not Xin Qiji's turn, Yu Yunwen is the first person.

Yu Yunwen is a typical late bloomer, who only participated in the imperial examination at the age of forty-one to enter the officialdom.

Compared with those young geniuses, Yu Yunwen is not half a star worse.

But it was this old man who saved the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the thirty-first year of Shaoxing, Wanyan Liang led the main force of the Jin army to cross the Huai River and enter the Yangtze River.

After the contact between the two armies, the Song army on the two Huai fronts was defeated, and the Jin army was like no one.

In October, Wan Yanliang crossed the Huai River from the vortex, and the Song troops of Huaidong and Huaixi retreated, and the imperial court and ministers were terrified.

Gaozong ordered Ye Yiwen, a member of the Privy Council, to supervise the Jiang and Huai military, and Yu Yunwen was the staff officer of the Jianghuai Army and Ma Mansion, and was responsible for assisting Ye Yiwen in resisting the enemy.

In November, Wan Yan Liang led an army to approach the quarry.

The Huaixi commander Wang Quan was dismissed from his post and replaced by the general Li Xianzhong, while Yu Yunwen was sent to the quarryman.

After Yu Yunwen arrived at the quarry, he saw that the Song army was sluggish and the situation was critical, so he personally supervised the division and said to the soldiers who were distracted at that time: "If the Jin army successfully crosses the river, where can you flee to?" Our army controls the Great River, if the Yangtze River is dangerous, why can't it survive in death? What's more, the imperial court has raised troops for 30 years, why can't you fight a bloody war with the enemy to serve the country? ”

These words greatly boosted the morale of the army.

He immediately quickly united the armies scattered all over the river without command, and fought a decisive battle with 150,000 Jin troops at Quarry Rock with 18,000 troops, resulting in a great defeat of the Jin army and winning the famous "Quarrying Victory".

Subsequently, Wan Yanliang moved his troops to Yangzhou, and Yu Yunwen rushed to Zhenjiang Mansion to intercept him.

Wan Yan Liang saw that the crossing of the river failed and fled to Yangzhou.

The Jin army that attacked other areas was also repelled by the Song army, Wan Yanliang couldn't help but be furious, and under the condition that there was no way out, he made a desperate bet.

He ordered all the Jin troops to cross the river within three days or be executed, which led to the intensification of internal contradictions.

In late November, Wan Yanliang was killed by his subordinates.

The Jin army retreated thirty miles and sent envoys to negotiate peace.

After the Battle of Quarrying, Yu Yunwen gained a high reputation in the Southern Song Dynasty.

It can be said that if there was no Yu Yunwen, the Southern Song Dynasty would probably die.

Today's Xin Qijian is only twenty-five or sixteen years old, facing Yu Yunwen, who is older than him and has a very high reputation in the military, Xin Qiji, who is arrogant, has become Yu Yunwen's little fan brother, especially after talking freely, he admires Yu Yunwen's erudition and military insights.

And Yu Yunwen also admired Xin Qiji, the junior of Yunwen Yunwu, especially Xin Qiji's positive attitude towards Jin when he talked.

The main combatants, one old and one young, naturally get together and hate each other.

The two talked for a long time, and the night gradually came, so Xin Qiji suggested that he should drink some, and Yu Yunwen had no choice.

Xin Qiji also talked about the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting held by the Fan family, and Yu Yunwen, who was a literati, was naturally quite interested, but he didn't want to see the idle people, so he proposed that the two of them go quietly, so as not to alarm the rest.

Xin Qiji understood Yu Yunwen's thoughts, so he naturally agreed.

So the two of them came to Wangjiang Tower in civilian clothes, quietly climbed the building, found an inconspicuous place to sit down, served wine and food, and paid attention to the progress of the poetry meeting.

At this time, the Wangjiang Tower was already very lively.

The poetry meeting also began a long time ago.

Although Xin Qiji did not appear, Zhao Zhongyan was still a heavyweight figure in the scene, which made many young people want to work hard.

Speaking of Zhao Zhongyan, he is actually not an ordinary person, his Zhao is the same Zhao as the Zhao with the national surname, and his ancestor is the same ancestor as the current emperor Zhao Tuan, both of whom are descendants of Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Song Dynasty.

Even in terms of seniority, he is two generations higher than Zhao Tuan's seniority, that is to say, even Zhao Gou has to call him uncle when he sees him.

With such an imperial family in charge, young people who are interested in officialdom naturally have to work hard to perform.

Therefore, when Zhao Zhongyan proposed to write poems on the theme of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the young people put pen to paper one after another, and then submitted them one after another.

Although Jiangyin is on the side of the front line, Jiangyin is in Jiangnan after all, Jiangnan culture is gathered, and the level is very high, and the poems written by these young people have made Zhao Zhongyan quite admired.

Fan Zhongkui was also quite happy to see this grand occasion, although Xin Qiji did not come tonight, but with this grand occasion, it can be regarded as a good story, and tonight's money was not spent in vain.

Originally, if it continued to develop like this, this poetry meeting could be regarded as a major event of the Jiangyin Army, but its influence would not exceed that of the Jiangyin Army, but unexpectedly, there were branches that made the light of this poetry meeting shine through the ages.

Xin Qiji did not come to the scene, Xin Zhi only planned to eat and drink, and by the way, it was worth the trip to experience the grand gathering of literati.

Saying that the things in Wangjianglou are quite delicious, Xin Zhen tasted all kinds of dishes, and even the river fish that he said was full of corpses he said had eaten a lot, and while eating, he had to explain the tricks of the dishes to Lu Zhongshu.

Lu Zhongshu replied with a blank eye: "Do you dare to eat this fish?" ”

Xin Zhen laughed: "You don't understand, everything nourishes each other, there is no good opportunity, people themselves are the top of the food chain, what can't be eaten, it depends on whether you are taboo or not......"

Xin Zhi lowered his voice and let out nonsense, of course, there was only one Fan Zhongshu in the audience, but there was no problem, and suddenly someone said loudly: "Mr. Zhao, the younger generation has something to say." ”

This person's words were loud and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Zhao Zhongyan frowned, feeling that this person was a little reckless, and when he looked up, the person who spoke seemed to be the son of the Lu family, one of the two major families in Jiangyin, what seemed to be Lu Ruli, or the eldest son of Lu Mengkun, the head of the Lu family?

The Fan family and the Lu family don't deal with each other very well, but it is secretly, and it is still quite harmonious in the open, otherwise it is impossible for the children of the Lu family to come over to participate in the Fan family's poetry meeting.

Fan Zhongkui smiled and said, "Ru Lixian's nephew, but I don't know what I think? ”

Lu Ruli, who was surrounded by a group of young students, arched his hand and said: "Master Fan, many of our students came here today, first of all, it is naturally because of Mr. Zhao, but I also want to see the great talent of Xin Tong's judgment. ”

Fan Zhongkui frowned slightly and said: "Ru Lixian's nephew, Xin Tongju has no way to come tonight because he is on official business, and Xin Tongju also asked his son-in-law to come over and explain to everyone, if you want to see Xin Tongju's talents, why don't you visit another day?" ”

Lu Ruli said with a smile: "It is said that the family of poetry and book heirlooms, even the maidservants are knowledgeable, Xin Zhi Gongzi is the beloved son of Xin Tong's judgment, and he must have already obtained the true biography of Xin Tong's judgment, so it is better to let Xin Zhigongzi write a poem on the spot, so that although everyone can't see Xin Tong's high talent, they can also get a glimpse of Xin Gongzi's poems?" ”

Fan Zhongkui's brows furrowed even tighter, and said: "Ru Lixian's nephew, you must have heard the age of Xin Zhigongzi, he is only seven years old this year, and he is just a Mengtong, where can you know any poetry, you are a strong man." ”

A young man next to Lu Ruli said with a smile: "But it may not be, in ancient times, King Luo Bin wrote goose poems at the age of seven, and Bai Juyi wrote poems at the age of five, and there are many young geniuses in this dynasty, and age is not an excuse."

The disciple that Mr. Zhao wants to accept today can't even make a poem, if that's the case, where is he qualified to be Mr. Zhao's disciple? ”

Fan Zhongkui hated a lot in his heart, this Lu family just couldn't see the Fan family's good, and it was estimated that the Fan family wanted to recruit a son-in-law Xin Qiji, and the Lu family knew about it, and when he saw that Xin Zhi was going to be accepted as a disciple by Mr. Zhao, he was going to destroy it.

Fan Zhongkui's face was not good: "It's a little young, it's not necessarily good, young geniuses may not be great when they grow up, and there are many late bloomers, Xin Zhigongzi can't write poetry now, and he will learn it in the future, and what Mr. Zhao wants is a disciple who inherits the Spring and Autumn Period, and it has nothing to do with poetry." ”

The young man smiled: "That's true, but I'm afraid that Xin Zhigongzi is the next Zhongyong." ”

Wang Anshi wrote about Zhongyong, who doesn't know.

Fan Zhongkui was about to refute, but Xin Zhi stood up and said with a smile: "It's true that the kid hasn't learned poetry, but it's not too important, after all, what everyone actually wants to see is his father's poetry, isn't it?"

Coincidentally, my father was busy with official business, but he was very attentive to the Fan family's poetry meeting, and he didn't dare to hurt everyone's hearts, so he sent me a poem to have fun with everyone. ”
