Chapter Fifty-Eight: King Zheng on the East China Sea
On the blue waves, there was a sea ship riding the wind and waves, heading in the direction of Wei.
This is not a simple cargo ship, but also a passenger ship, in addition to many shipwrights and sea passengers, there are also other people who went to the Wei State, there are scribes and scholars, there are also knights in the rivers and lakes, and there are people who drag their families, among which there is a young man who is quite conspicuous, carrying a long strip of wooden box, wrapped in Shu brocade weaving.
Wei State, once known as Wei Guo, was renamed Wei State after Wei King Xiao Jin and veteran Yang Bofu led an army to capture Wei Guo.
After Xiao Jin became the lord of the Wei State, he successively destroyed the original Advocate Clan of the Patriotic State and the Gongsun Clan who swore to resist to the death, so that only the Ye Clan, the Murong Clan and the Shangguan Clan were left among the original five great families of the Patriotic State.
Among these three families, especially the Ye family, who has produced a Taoist sect to teach Qiuye, is the most noble, even if it is Xiao Jin, the king of Wei, he has to give three points, followed by a sect leader and a Xuanjiao sect leader of the Murong family, which is also a transcendent status, as for the last Shangguan clan, as early as the Dazheng period, there was a big sword immortal Shangguan Xianchen, and Shangguan Xianchen is the sword sect master who is close at hand, naturally it was at its peak, but now it is not as good as before, after Shangguan Xianchen and Shangguan Jinhong died one after another, the last pillar Shangguan Qinghong also died in Jiangdu, making Shangguan has a bleak scene of the building will fallγ

Today's situation in Wei is complicated and complicated, not complicated or complicated, generally speaking, Xiao Jin, the king of Wei, is the co-master, and there are three major families under it, and then there are large and small clan forces, among which the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, there is no shortage of monks who are difficult to survive in the Central Plains and fled here, and most of the people who can gain a foothold here are left-handed monks with all kinds of thaumaturgy, and then there are the anonymous disciples of the Sword Sect who collapsed after the collapse of the Sword Sect, although they are anonymous disciples, but the outstanding ones among them are not necessarily worse than the real disciples of the Sword Sect.
The sword sect has taken root in the Wei country for thousands of years, and its influence is far-reaching, beyond the imagination of most people, the wind of the sword in the Wei country is particularly deep, up to the officials and nobles, down to the down-and-out rangers, all of them are wearing swords, just like the gentleman of the Central Plains Peiyu, and the wind of sword fighting is extremely strong, and the sword is drawn without a word, and the sword is splashed with blood for five steps, so that the first decree issued by Xiao Jin after taking charge of the Wei State is the abolition of the sword order, first prohibiting ordinary people from wearing swords, and then prohibiting swordsmen and knights and children of the family from wearing swords, although the decree is difficult to completely eradicate the influence of the Sword Sect in a short period of time, but after all, it greatly inhibits the sword fighting wind of Weiγ
Because of this, when the white-headed young man wore a three-foot long sword at his waist in addition to carrying a long box, the people on the boat were not too surprised, just because it was a common thing to wear a sword in the Wei Kingdom.
At this time, the young man stood on the side of the boat and looked at the railing, this was not the first time he had seen the sea, but he was still overwhelmed by the magnificence of the sea, and he only felt that his heart was open, and he felt that he was small, and this feeling was difficult for those who were born on the seaside, grew up on the seaside, were accustomed to seeing the rough waves, and were accustomed to seeing the ebb and flow of the tide.
The young man looked at the sea and sky in the distance and sighed: "Compared with the vast sea, Fang Jue feels that his body is small. Compared with the vast world, Fang knows the humility of himself. β
"The vast sea, amazing at first sight, boring for a long time, moody like a baby, like the rain of midsummer. A voice sounded in the ears of the young man, he looked up, and saw a very old Confucian student, with white hair, wearing a dark cotton robe, with the same cotton shoes under his feet, the taste of a poor old pedant was very strong, and he looked like a private school gentleman in a certain village, but his body was tough, he did not bend over or hunchback, and he was carrying a bamboo emerald green bookcase, standing not far from him, stroking his beard and looking at the sea.
Seeing the young man looking over, the old Confucian said with a smile: "I just heard Xiaoyou's emotion, so I couldn't help but say a few more words, and I hope that Xiaoyou won't be surprised." β
The young man shook his head and laughed.
The white-haired old scholar watched the ebb and flow of the tide for a long time, and suddenly sighed and said: "The deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night." β
The young man asked, "Why is the old gentleman so emotional?"
The old man said a little sadly: "Hundreds of rivers enter the sea, do not return to the east, the morning dew and the sun, time flies, when you are old, you will inevitably face the torture of birth, old age, sickness and death, all say that there is a great horror between life and death, and the old decay can't see through it or see through it, so you can only learn from the saint and sigh." β
The young man smiled and asked again, "I don't know why the old gentleman is going to the Wei State Office?"
The old man pointed to the bookcase behind him and said with a smile: "Study tour." β
The young man was slightly surprised: "The old gentleman is so old, and he still wants to follow the example of young people to study?"
The old man smiled and said: "Live to learn all the time, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, the old man has read enough books in this life, but he has not yet walked thousands of miles, so he wants to take advantage of the fact that his legs and feet are still neat, walk more, and it is best to complete the road of thousands of miles in his lifetime." β
The old Confucian smiled and pointed to the sword on the young man's waist, "The scholar travels to study, and the ranger travels with a sword, is it not allowed for Xiaoyou to hang a sword, and not for the old and decayed?" β
The young man looked down at the saber at his waist and said with a smile: "It's not a trip down there, and the sword is just for self-defense, after all, the sea is not very peaceful recently, and there are often pirates who kill people and plunder." β
Not long after the young man's voice fell, a speedboat appeared in his sight, and in the blink of an eye, it was less than ten miles, and a flag was raised on the ship, with black characters on a white background, and a big "Zheng" character was written.
Since the tenth year of Chengping, the Haikou in the coastal area of Jiangdu have gathered to form a party and call the king the country, among which Yang Er and Zhong Dahui are the strongest. In the sixteenth year of Chengping, Chen Qiong, the governor of the Later Army, was ordered to exterminate the Haikou by the general of Zhennan, appeased Yang Er, and Zhong Da fled, which was regarded as slightly curbing the arrogance of the Haikou.
However, in the twentieth year of Chengping, Zheng Kuiqi and Zhong Dahui and other groups of pirates plundered the coast again, and the coastal area of Jiangzhou was the most poisoned by it.
Among the two pirates, although Zheng Kuiqi is a rising star, he is a bold and skillful hero, first subdued Yang Er's old department, and then tossed and turned between several major forces, and finally stood out, gathered more than 10,000 people, hundreds of ships, galloped the East China Sea, and was also quite influential on the land in the south of the Yangtze River, he was already a prince, and his power was a few points greater than that of his predecessor Zhong Conference.
At the beginning, Chen Qiong was listed as several major crimes, and the second major crime was that within December of the 20th year of Chengping, the pirates gathered more than 1,000 people, robbed the fleet, plundered property amounting to 300,000 taels of silver, and killed and injured hundreds.
This feat that made Chen Qiong lose his official hat was done by Zheng Kuiqi.
The old scholar said amazingly, "It turned out to be the person of King Zheng, although the old man has lived in the inland for a long time, but he has also heard of the prestige of this King Zheng, it is said that he was originally born in the market, but I don't know how to climb the high branch of King Wei, which has today's majesty." β
The young man smiled: "If the old gentleman doesn't go out, he will know the world." β
The old man laughed, then looked at the saber on the young man's waist and asked, "The old man took the liberty to ask, did Xiaoyou's saber ever be named?"
The white-headed young man held down the head of the sword and said with a smile: "The name of the sword is Tianlan." β
