Besides, Xin Zan, Li Chengyin, Xin Qiji and the other three left Shangqiu City early in the morning, all the way to the northeast, and ran directly to Juye. On this day, when they arrived at the boundary of Chengwu, several people were trying to pass through this county, Xin Zan looked at the two big characters of "Chengwu" at the gate of the county seat, and said to the abandonment: "Although the county seat of Chengwu County is not big, there are also two or three famous celebrities in history, one is Sun Yang in the Spring and Autumn Period in history, and the other is the former famous face of the current Great Song Dynasty, called Pang Ji.

Because Sun Yang is good at horses, people call him Bole, the god of horses in the sky. Zhongyun in "Lü's Spring and Autumn Mastery": "Sun Yang learns horses, and what he sees is nothing more than horses, and he is honest with horses." Qin Mugong named him "General Bole", and followed the army as the commander of the army, specializing in raising horses, horses, and recommending horses, and the Qin army's iron cavalry was invincible in the world. He is the author of the world's first "Soma Sutra", illustrated and illustrated, and has long been regarded as a classic by Soma people, but unfortunately it has been lost.

In addition to being good at horses, Bole is also good at understanding people, not only recommended capable people such as Jiufang Gao for Qin, but also warned Pang Juan in person that his greed for fame and profit would inevitably be laughed at, but Pang Juan did not listen, and died for his death.

"Han Han Ying once said in "Han Poetry Biography" that "so that Ji can not be Bole, and he can have a thousand miles of feet", and Tang Hanyu's "Ma Said" Zeyun "There is Bole in the world, and then there are thousands of miles of horses." Maxima often has, but Bole is not often', which means that Bole is the most rare in the world.

"Pang Yi, the word mellow, the local Shanzhou Chengwu people, once served as the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty for a long time. Dazhong Xiangfu eight years of Jinshi and the first, as the manager of Huangzhou to join the army, deep knowledge of the state Xia Zhu's praise, that Pang Ji is very talented as a prime minister, he will become a great weapon one day. Soon, Pang Ji was successively promoted to the military judge of Jiangzhou, the judicial officer of Kaifeng Mansion joined the army, the detailed reinstatement of the criminal department, the judge of the herdsman, the Dali Temple, the palace servant of the imperial history, and moved to the privy deputy envoy, the privy envoy, the prince Taibao, etc., and the prince of Yingguo. Pang Ji not only made friends with Han Qi, Fan Zhongyan and others, but also promoted Sima Guang, Di Qing and others.

"In the eighth year of Jiayou, Pang died at the age of seventy-six. Posthumously presented to Sikong and Shizhong, nicknamed "Zhuang Min". He was a famous minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and he had made outstanding achievements in justice, officials, and army command, and won a temporary reputation for his solemnity and profundity, decisiveness and bravery. In his early years, he was appreciated by the famous minister Xia Zhu, and was considered to be a very talented prime minister, and he would become a great weapon one day, so he was repeatedly recommended by him. Prime Minister Pang Cheng may be from Bole's hometown, and he has a lot of fate with Bole. Xia Zhu is his Bole, and he is the Bole of Sima Guang and Di Qing and others. Sima Guang is not only a famous minister, but also wrote "Zizhi Tongjian", needless to say for historians, Di Qing was known by him by himself, and he made every effort to get ahead, make meritorious contributions, and finally became the only military general who has been able to serve as a privy envoy in the Great Song Dynasty so far. Di Qing returned victoriously, but Emperor Renzong praised Pang for being a 'green thief, and the power of Qing is also', which shows that his recommendation is not small.

At this time, Qi Ji suddenly interjected: "I know Xia Zhu and his people, and I saw that he made the preface on the "Bronze Man Acupuncture and Moxibustion Illustrated Sutra". ”

Xin Zan nodded and said: "Xia Zhuzi Qiao, a native of De'an County, Jiangzhou, a famous politician and writer, known as Xia Wenzhuang Gong, Xia Ying Gong, Xia Zheng Gong. Versatile indeed. "Refer to the book "The Legend of Heroes in the North"

"In the first year of Zhenzong Jingde, Xia Zhu was recorded as the master of Danyang because of his father Xia Chenghao's loyalty. In the third year of Dazhong Xiangfu, he was elected as the editor of the national history, and Wang Dan and others practiced the "Living Note", and participated in the compilation of the "Shufu Yuan Turtle". During the Tianxi period, he went out of Huang, Deng, Xiang and other states. In the face of great hunger, he persuaded the surname to get 20,000 hu, and saved 450,000 poor people. During the reign of Renzong Tiansheng, Lizhishou, An, Hong and other prefectures ordered more than 1,900 witches to return to agriculture and destroy their obscene shrines. In the fifth year of the Heavenly Sage, he worshiped the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. In the seventh year of the Heavenly Sage, he was promoted to the governor of political affairs. In the ninth year of Tiansheng, he was a squire in the military department and a scholar of Zuocheng. During the Jingyou period, he went out of Qingzhou, supported the guards of the city, and built the Nanyang Bridge in Qingzhou, which is generally considered to be the earliest Hongqiao in China. The book of the criminal department of the relocation of the dynasty, the book of the household department, etc. During the Kangding period, he also pacified and recruited envoys and knew the Yongxing army through the four roads of Shaanxi, and presided over the war against the Western Xia. The sentence was changed to the Hezhong Mansion, and the Tongping Zhangshi was promoted, and the Daimyo's Mansion was sentenced. In the seventh year of Qingli, he entered the pilgrimage to the prime minister, and then changed his appointment to the privy envoy and was named the British duke. The following year, the return of worship to the same level of affairs. In the first year of Emperor You, he was crowned Zheng Guogong.

"In the third year of Huangyou, Xia Zhu died of illness, and was given the title of Taishi, Zhongshu Ling and Shangshu Ling, nicknamed 'Wenzhuang'"

Cheng Yin smiled embarrassedly at this time: "As an uncle, I have never read the secret book of martial arts, let alone seen the bronze figure. Huaiying, Qiji, and Jiu'er are lucky to be able to practice according to the real thing. ”

Qi Ji suddenly felt embarrassed, and quickly replied: "These are all because the master made a duplicate product." Cheng Yin then said: "The elders of this faction, except for King Yun, is your ancestor Song Jiang who has the most extensive knowledge and the highest talent, and your master has his true inheritance, and he is also very attentive, it is rare to be able to copy it." Your father, uncle, and I all rely only on your uncle Guan to teach by word and deed. ”

Although the county seat of Chengwu is not big, there are quite a lot of stalls or selling along the street, which is very lively. Cheng Yin saw that Xin Zan kept preaching, and listened carefully to the abandonment of illness in his teens, and the grandfather and grandson had no distractions, and couldn't help but be very moved, and said in his heart: "The Great Song Dynasty has always had the Yang family generals, the seed family generals, the folding family generals, the Yue family generals and other generals, and Uncle Xin's family went deep into the tiger's den, and there were many dangers, where is the credit and hard work the slightest difference?" ”

While speaking, he arrived at the East City Gate, seeing that he was going to pass through the city, and it was noon at this moment, so he found a nearby restaurant to eat, and then hurried after a short rest. Southwest Lu loves to burn mutton soup, the most famous in Shanxian County, Chengwu is Linxian, it is also a general custom, there are many mutton soup shops in the streets and alleys, and the fragrance is everywhere. The three of them picked the one with the most guests in the neighborhood to go in, and one person had a big bowl of mutton soup, which was enough to steam the cakes, which were hot and spicy, and it was moisturizing to eat well.

The three of them walked out of the east gate of Chengwu County, Xin Zan couldn't help but look left and right ahead, Cheng Yin, abandoned the disease is strange, Xin Zan looked back and smiled: "This place was called empty mulberry in ancient times, according to legend, Hua Xu, the first grandmother of China, gave birth to Fuxi and Nuwa in Lei Ze's great deeds, and then passed on the heir of Emperor Yan and Yellow Emperor, so this place is also the place of Chinese ancestors." Later, Yao Chu sealed the pottery, which is not far from the northwest of this place. Shun was born in Yaoxu, cultivating the mountains, and fishing Leize, all of which are not far from Juancheng in the north of this place. Yu was born in Rongzhou, in the southeast of Cao County, which should be the place we have passed by.

In ancient times, this place was gathered by Jishui, and the place where the water of the Hehe River came out, according to legend, there was a water called Heze that had been handed down from ancient times, and Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, renamed him as Longchi. In the ancient "Geographical Chronicles", it is recorded that he 'has Lei Gongze in the north and Guheshan in the south', and since ancient times, Heshan should be not far north of this place, and I was going to find him just now. But here are all plains, a glance at the Pingchuan, where can you see mountains within a radius of 100 miles? Maybe it's because the Yellow River floods all year round, so the soil is often easy to silt, and it has changed its general appearance. ”

Qiji suddenly smiled mischievously at this time, patted the burden on his back again, and said, ""Dream Creek Writing Talk" is already here for me. Grandpa Li Bao actually loves it and has been carrying it with him at ordinary times, but he didn't say it on the spot, because he didn't want everyone to have a lot of comments in front of him. After Granny Shen finished talking about the call that day, Grandpa Li quietly took the book to me and repeatedly told me not to talk about it casually. ”

Xin Zan was extremely happy and very surprised when he heard it, and couldn't help but say: "You, Grandpa Li Baobao, followed Marshal Yue Fei back then, raised horses, manufactured and prepared weapons and equipment, and operated and manufactured ships for the Yue family. I also learned that his original master was Aunt Shen, and Aunt Shen was a great master, and she would definitely study hard with him in the future and serve the country in the future. ”

Qiji nodded yes, and said: "I have roughly flipped through it in the past few days, but the book does not mention the Heshan that grandpa just mentioned, but it is recorded that when the old master Shen visited Hebei West Road from Kaifeng Yitaihang to the north, there were snail pebbles inlaid in the cliff of Guanshan, and they were like a belt, so I concluded that this place was once a sea, but because of the 'big river, Zhangshui, Hutuo, Zhuohe, Sangqian, etc., are all turbidity. In the west of Jinguan and Shaanxi, in the middle of the water, it does not decrease more than 100 feet, and its mud flows eastward, all of which are the soil of the mainland', and are 'obliterated by the turbidity current'. Grandpa, did we just pass by on this trip and can see it with our own eyes? ”

Xin Zan pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "These records in the book are really strange and interesting, and it is certainly best for us to have the opportunity to see them with our own eyes on this trip. "Mengxi Written Talks" is divided into 30 volumes, including 26 volumes of "Written Talks", 3 volumes of "Supplementary Written Talks", and 1 volume of "Continued Written Talks". There are seventeen items in the book, and there are six hundred and nine articles. The content covers various disciplines such as astronomy, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, etc., and its value is extraordinary. ”

Listening to his grandfather's praise of "Mengxi Writings", he remembered something again, and couldn't help but say: "The natural science part of the book summarizes the scientific achievements of ancient China, especially the Song Dynasty. In terms of social history, the decay of the Song ruling group has been exposed, and there are relatively detailed records of the military interests in the northwest and north, the evolution of the ritual system, and the disadvantages of the old enslavement system. ”

Qi Ji interjected: "It mentions the story of Di Qing, the general of the dynasty. ”

Di Qing is a famous general of the Great Song Dynasty, with outstanding military achievements, and he is a hero like a god with contemporary Yue Fei and Han Shizhong. When Xin Zan heard that Qi Ji mentioned it again at this time, he couldn't help but talk about it, looked around, and said in a loud voice to Qi Ji: "Sima moved here to Tao Di and wrote 'In the middle of this world', maybe it is the outstanding people here, so the soldiers are prosperous.

"Pang Prime Minister was born here, Dazhong Xiangfu eight years into the Shi and the first, as the manager of Huangzhou to join the army, deep knowledge of the state Xia Zhu's praise, that Pang is very talented as a prime minister, he will become a great weapon one day. Soon, Pang Ji was successively promoted to the military judge of Jiangzhou, the judicial officer of Kaifeng Mansion joined the army, the detailed reinstatement of the criminal department, the judge of the herdsman, the Dali Temple, the palace servant of the imperial history, and moved to the privy deputy envoy, the privy envoy, the prince Taibao, etc., and the prince of Yingguo. Pang Ji not only made friends with Han Qi, Fan Zhongyan and others, but also promoted Sima Guang, Di Qing and others.

"In the eighth year of Jiayou, Pang died at the age of seventy-six. Posthumously presented Sikong and Shizhong, nicknamed 'Zhuang Min'.

But when the imperial court wanted to appoint Di Qing as a privy envoy, Pang Yi and Ouyang Xiu were both strongly opposed. Prime Minister Pang Cheng has strongly recommended Di Qing many times, naturally not because he doesn't like him, on the contrary, he is outstanding in his talents, without any defects, and he must be restrained, which shows that he is very stubborn about the military affairs of the civil and military and the literati. Most of the insightful people in the Great Song Dynasty believed that the advantages of using civil officials to control military affairs and military generals to be controlled outweighed outweighed by the disadvantages. In fact, there are pros and cons to everything, and it is all about trade-offs. And Pang Ji, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Shen Kuo, Zhang Dian and other civilian officials led the troops, all of whom made outstanding contributions, and the military generals in the Great Song Army also had literary talents.

"The so-called civil and military can govern the country and Anbang, and governing the country is the foundation of Anbang, which may be so. The path after abandoning the disease cannot be biased, and both civil and military are the right way. The Great Song Dynasty has always emphasized literature over military force, and it will be the same in the future, you should understand it in your heart, so as not to cause trouble.

"In the future, when acting in the world, we must not only have the ability to know people, make the best use of their talents, and make the best use of things, but also meet Bole at the right time like Di Qing saw in Pang, so that heroes can be useful. Knowing people and being recognized, we must do a good job, so that we can make contributions to the Great Song Dynasty in the future. ”

Abandon the disease in his heart, knowing that what his grandfather said has deep meaning, he listened more carefully.

"The mountains and rivers are broken, the national disaster is at the head, I have to have too many expectations for your father, mother, aunt and uncle and you, once the Great Song Dynasty is unified, the world is peaceful, my old Xin family also retreated to the countryside, indulged in the landscape, beautiful and happy. But the world is uneven, the Great Song Dynasty is gone, where can we have such blessings? Xin Zan said, and couldn't help but sigh deeply. See the clumsy work "The Legend of Xin Qi"
