The Great Song Dynasty, the capital of Bianjing, is covered with snow and carved beams, and the eaves are hung on the side of the ice edges, and only the roof is seen, just like heaven and earth.

Just take a closer look, the streets are depressed, the houses are dilapidated, the pedestrians are scarce, and the mud is everywhere.

In an alley next to the right street of the house, there is a restaurant, called will enter the wine, the door is a little shabby, there is a curtain of blue curtain hanging on it, the Nanmu couplet written with a red pen on the left and right sides has been a long time, quite old, but the majestic atmosphere of it is rushed out head-on.

Shanglian is the Son of Heaven who can't get on the boat.

The next link is a self-proclaimed minister who is a fairy in wine.

This couplet is written by Du Zimei, the first Confucian saint of the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, it was still a tavern, producing the restaurant's own peach blossom brew. Mr. Zimei likes peach blossoms the most, travels all over the country, and when he sees peach blossoms brewed here, he naturally needs to drink it.

This Mr. Zimei drank to the depths of affection, missing his peerless sword fairy brother who was "full of flowers and drunk with 3,000 guests, and a sword with frost and cold in 14 states".

A few years ago, this restaurant was also one of the best places of interest in Bianjing. It's just that it's difficult now, and in this restaurant, there are only three or five people in Lala, either frowning, or borrowing wine to drown their sorrows. On the second floor of the restaurant, there are only three guests sitting at a table by the window, talking in a whisper.

Sitting among them, a young man in gray cotton clothes, facing out of the window, could not see his face, but the scholar's gestures when he spoke were full of scholarly atmosphere, and there was an atmosphere of poetry and bookishness.

The young man asked in a low voice, "Brother Xiao, Brother Jin, have the two benevolent brothers seen the celestial phenomenon?"

The man surnamed Xiao said: "It's always been a rainy day these days, so I didn't see it. What's wrong?"

The young man in gray cotton clothes said: "My little brother couldn't sleep last night, and when he got up in the middle of the night, the clouds just dispersed, and he saw a blue-white comet in the northeast, sweeping straight away the purple microstar. ”

The young man surnamed Jin exclaimed: "The comet lord sweeps away, the color is blue and white, and it is directed at Ziwei, which is not good for the emperor, it seems that this Da Song Dynasty is really going to die." ”

The young man surnamed Xiao was also stunned and said: "The ancients said: The comet, turbidity and chaos of the three lights, the monarch and the minister lost their power, it seems that the heavens have warned them. ”

The young man in gray cotton clothes said: "Speaking of the loss of government of the monarch and the minister, the younger brother thought that there was a folk song outside called 'The city gate is closed, the road is open, the city gate is open, the road is closed'; there is also a folk song of 'Ten Regardless', which is the most vivid and full of the monarch and minister's loss of government, the first two sentences are 'Regardless of Taiyuan, but Taixue.'" Regardless of autumn prevention, but spring and autumn. 'The Dajin Dynasty has conquered Taiyuan City, the Dasong defenders are running out of ammunition and food, and the emperor does not send troops to reinforce, but he wants to expel the Tai students who are in the book. Autumn is coming, not to prevent the Dajin Dynasty from sending troops south to rob us of the grain we have just harvested, but to restore the "Spring and Autumn" course abolished by the previous Wang Xiang in Taixue. ”

The man surnamed Xiao shook his head and said: "It is a good thing to rectify Taixue, but the key depends on the timing. ”

The young man in gray cotton clothes said: "The party is the same and the ministers are not in harmony, this is the accumulated disease of the Dasong Dynasty." It's just that at this juncture, the courtiers also imposed the crime of harming the country and the people on Wang Xiang, demanding that the title of King Shu be revoked, but he didn't care about King Su who was a hostage in the Dajin Dynasty, so it was too unclear. Therefore, the song "Ten Regardless" says: "I don't care about the cannon stone, but I care about the stone." Regardless of King Su, he cares about King Shu. ’”

The man surnamed Xiao said: "At this moment, doing so is putting the cart before the horse." ”

The young man in gray cotton said: "When it comes to putting the cart before the horse, I think of two more sentences: 'I don't care about Yanshan, but I care about Nie Mountain.'" Regardless of the second prince, he is in charge of the prince. 'The emperor didn't want to recover Yanshan, but he was busy changing the name of Lord Nie Shan to Nie Chang. I didn't ask what the second prince of the Dajin Dynasty did, but he was busy appointing a few years old children as the crown prince. It can be seen that the comet swept straight to the imperial constellation, which is not unreasonable. ”

The man surnamed Xiao nodded and said, "The court does things upside down. The song of 'Ten Regardless' is indeed deeply ill, and God will not be wrong. ”

The young man in gray cotton said: "Yes, that's why Wang Xiangcai said, 'This dynasty has been following the disadvantages of the end of the world'." ”

Emperor Qinzong of the Great Song Dynasty has been restless all day long, frightened and depressed since the soldiers of the Dajin Dynasty came to the city. On this day, he put on civilian clothes, took the intimate eunuch Wang Dehua and a team of entourage, and went out to the palace to learn about the people's feelings and military conditions.

Qinzong traveled all the way and happened to meet an old gentleman who measured words. This gentleman has white hair, a beard and a chest, a ruddy complexion, and timeless clothes. Holding a white cloth signboard and shaking in the wind, it reads: Guigu is a teacher, and the manager is a friend. The end is a bit of fairy style.

When Qin Zong saw Mr. Measurer's sign, he stopped. I thought that the warlocks who were summoned into the palace on weekdays were afraid that I would punish them, so they said some flattering words, what "reinforcements are coming", what "God bless my dynasty", today's Mr. Word Measurement, I don't know my identity, I don't think I will lie to me, why don't I try a word.

Qin Zong thought about it, and muttered a few words to Wang Dehua, Wang Dehua leaned close to Mr. Word Measurement, and said softly: "Sir, my master wants to test a word." ”

Mr. Zi looked up, and saw that Wang Dehua was nearly forty years old, his face was white and beardless, and his voice was like a woman, and he knew that he was a eunuch, and then looked at Qinzong who was sitting on the side, with a dragon's spirit, but his face was pale, and he understood eight or nine points in his heart, and immediately greeted him with a smile and asked, "I don't know what the guest officer wants to measure?"

Wang Dehua replied: "The current situation is not going well, my master reads the books of sages, seeks loyalty to the king, and has compassion, I am afraid that this golden thief will enter the city, slaughter the people, and insult Sven, it is my master who wants to test state affairs!"

When Mr. Word Measurement heard this, although he didn't speak, he was secretly happy in his heart, he picked up the brush on the table, handed it to Wang Dehua and said: "What words need to be measured, please ask the guest officer to write!"

Wang Dehua casually pointed to the signboard and said: "Just measure the word 'friend' that is a friend!"

Mr. Word Measurement wrote the word 'friend' properly, holding the word in his left hand, twisting his beard with his right hand, and thought for a moment: "If the guest officer asks about it, it can be a different matter, and if he asks about state affairs, I am afraid that something is not good." If you look at the word "friend", cover the upper part, it becomes the word "anti", if you interpret it according to the glyph, I am afraid that it is "anti" to come out!"

When Qin Zong heard this, his face changed suddenly, and Wang Dehua was even more shocked, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Wrong, wrong, it's not the word 'friend', it's the word 'unitary'."

After hearing this, Mr. Measuring Words asked slowly: "Could it be that the guest officer is the 'unitary' character of Measuring Shen Youxuhai?"

Wang Dehua looked at Qin Zong's face, nodded again and again and replied: "Yes, yes, yes, it's this 'unitary' word!"

Mr. Gauge then wrote down the word 'unitary' on the paper, looked at it again and again, and was silent, just shaking his head incessantly.

Wang Dehua hurriedly urged: "Sir, test quickly, don't delay our efforts!"

Mr. Word Measurement sighed, shook his head and said, "This word is too evil, it is inconvenient to say more!"

After hearing this, Qin Zong sneered in his heart, this old way must be playing tricks, but when he thought of the word "friend" just now, he was a little annoyed in his heart, so he said: "The person who measures the word, only seek the truth, and Mr. does not have to hide it!"

Seeing that the urging was tight, Mr. Word Measurement pretended to be mysterious and said: "This is said to the guest officer, don't spread it, you see this 'unitary' word, it is in the word 'respect', there is no head on the top, and there is no foot on the bottom, which clearly implies that the Supreme One will have no head and no feet!"

When Wang Dehua heard this, he was only frightened into a cold sweat, and shouted again and again: "No, no, no, it's not this 'unitary' word, not this 'unitary' word!"

Mr. Gauzi took the word unhurriedly, pondered intently, sometimes frowned, gasped, sometimes rubbed his hands sharply, and paused again and again, so anxious that Qinzong was restless and kept urging. Mr. Word Measurement was indifferent, his eyes lowered, and he was silent.

Qin Zong asked anxiously, "Why didn't Mr. say anything?"

Mr. Word Measurement was silent for a while, wrote the word "dragon" on the paper, and then said, "Speaking of which, this official may not believe it, I know it for a thousand years before and a thousand years later." This character will replace the dragon character in 800 years." Do you think, if a dragon loses its claws, it's still a dragon?

Mr. Measuring Words whispered to Qinzong and Wang Dehua: These two gentlemen, I am not afraid to tell you the truth, I see, this great Song Jiangshan died on the eve of death, long live the true dragon son of heaven was convicted in the sky, no one can save it!

When Qin Zong didn't listen, when he heard this, he only felt dizzy, his legs and feet were weak, if it weren't for Wang Dehua on the side, he would have collapsed to the ground. The two of them no longer had the heart to understand the people's feelings and military affairs, and they sighed long and short along the way, and went back to the palace listlessly.

Soon the Dajin Dynasty broke through the capital and captured Huizong, Qinzong's father and son, as well as a large number of royal families, harem concubines, Guiqing, ministers, and more than 3,000 people went north to the Dajin Dynasty, and the public and private savings in Bianjing City were empty.

Bianjing City suffered a great disaster, but Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, fled to Shangqiu, Henan, announced his accession, and then moved the capital to Lin'an, and since then he has lived in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River.

Later, a powerful general in the Southern Dynasty wrote indignantly, "Jing Kang is ashamed, it is still snowing, the courtiers hate, when will it be destroyed!"

It is the beginning of life and death.
