The summer of the Gengzi year.
The number of Huang Chao Zhonghao was 150,000, and Cao Quanzhen fought with his 6,000, which was quite successful. To be outnumbered, retreat to Tunsi, let the troops arrive, and strike it hard. However, Gao Pian couldn't save it, and the thief attacked all of them and broke it.
Huang Chao fell into Shenzhou, and then entered the realm of Ying, Song, Xu, and Yan, where all the officials and people fled.

. . . . . . .
When the Taiping Army led by Zhou Huai'an entered the territory of Tanzhou with more than 8,000 people in this month, and was preparing to board the ship north to Jiangling, when Bo Guoyan, the chief in charge of local civil affairs and farming affairs, came to report on the work, he came across unexpected news by the way. .
"There are descendants of Lord Yan Lu to vote, what kind of situation is this..."
Zhou Huaian couldn't help but hesitated for a while before he came back to his senses. The so-called Yan Lu Gong should refer to Yan Zhenqing, who was the prime minister and was awarded the title of Lu Guo Gong. The Yan Ti Liu character is a milestone in the history of Chinese calligraphy. However, after inquiring in detail, he realized that the person he was receiving had made a mistake.
Strictly speaking, it was Yan Zhenqing's elder brother-Yan Gaoqing's descendants. Compared with Yan Zhenqing, who has been a prime minister in the five dynasties, and whose achievements in calligraphy and literature have been brilliant in history, this is a benchmark for loyalty and loyalty in a sense.
During the Anshi Rebellion, he and his son Yan Jiming guarded Changshan, and his younger brother Yan Zhenqing guarded the plains, and planned to kill Li Qin from the Anlu mountain tribe to capture Gao Miao for thousands of years. Seventeen counties in Hebei responded. The frightened An Lushan hid in the Luoyang palace, crying and regretting the solemn and noble counsellor.
As a result, when Suzong was enthroned in Lingwu, he ordered all the troops and horses of the world to gather around King Qin. Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, who had already invaded the Central Plains, had to lead their troops back to stand for Xinjun; therefore, these Hebei-based military and civilian officials suffered a tragedy.
(Tang Xuanzong, Tang Suzong. The pig teammates of the three generations of the ancestors and grandchildren of the Tang dynasty, the god operation of giving heads to the enemy, no one can match)
After the defenders everywhere abandoned and fled, Tianbao fifteen years (756 years), the rebels besieged Changshan and first captured and killed Yan Jiming. Soon after the city broke, Yan Gaoqing was taken to Luoyang. He scolded An Lushan with scornful eyes, and was finally killed by pulling out his tongue, dismembering and throwing fire on the Tianjin Bridge in Luoshui. After Suzong regained the two capitals, he gave Yan Gaoqing the crown prince Taibao and the posthumous title was Loyalty Festival.
Wen Tianxiang's "Song of Righteous Qi" said: "It is Zhang Suiyang (Zhang Xun)'s teeth, and Yan Changshan tongue." However, what is more well-known in later generations is the allusion and koan left by Yan Zhenqing for his son.
Because more than 30 people including Yan Gaoqing were killed, only the eldest son, Yan Quanming, was detained by Taiyuan Yin Wang Chengye because he was sent to the court to enter the court, but he was detained by Taiyuan Yin Wang Chengye and survived afterwards. At that time, Yan Zhenqing was a Puzhou governor, so he ordered Yan Quanming. Go to Hebei to find lost relatives.
Among them, it was discovered that his sister's daughter had fallen into the hands of the traitor, and one of Yan Quanming's daughter had also fallen into the hands of the thief, all asking for 30,000 yuan as a reward. Yan Quanming raised all the expenses and ransomed his aunt's daughter back. When I went to pay for the ransom, my daughter had disappeared.
When Yan Quanming held the skull of his younger brother Yan Jiming and part of the bones of his father Yan Gaoqing to Yan Zhenqing, Yan Zhenqing was momentarily sorrowful, studied ink and spread the paper, and wrote a literary calligraphy-"Memorial to the Nephew" Compliment to the good doctor Ji Mingwen":
The whole story is full of emotions, condensing the pen, and the chanting is painful and sad, and although there are more than 30 alterations, but the posture is prosperous, the spirit is flying, the thick and strong, the sturdy and strong, completely different from the Eastern Jin Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi's Xiurun and charming style is hailed as "the second line of books in the world" after "The Preface to the Collection of Orchid Pavilion".
But because the original copy of the Lanting Preface was crazy about calligraphy—Tang Taizong was buried in his Zhaoling Mausoleum, and only a bunch of copybooks of famous artists are left; so the draft left after burning the main text is essentially The number one calligraphy work in the world exists.
However, Zhou Huai'an thought of a group of tortoise sons who had been left behind by a group of fruitless dogs on the small island on the seaside more than a thousand years later, and gave this thing to Neon Kejin to spoil it; it might as well be killed and burned now. It's good to simply leave an inspiring miss and legend.
One of the most famous complaints is that "the thieves are not saved, the lonely city is besieged, the father is trapped and the son is dead, and the nest is overturned." Isn't it the civil war and the layman, all kinds of pig teammates pit their own people's fruit regime. The best portrayal of what.
The one who came to join was obviously from Yan Quanming, called Yan Rang. Of course, as the son of a loyal minister and martyr, this Yan Quanming is also a man of responsibility and integrity; although he is a prime minister from the (uncle) father; but he was an official when he was alive.
Almost a lifetime’s salaries are used to redeem and provide for the families of the petty officials following his father’s death. Hundreds of people’s birth, aging, sickness, and death have been enshrined until the last moment of their lives. This is another true meaning of righteousness. The moral benchmark.
Although the current Jing Zhaoyan clan has declined and dilapidated, the moral benchmarks set by this father and son are the same as those set by Zhang (Xun) Zhongcheng, and they are especially praised by the world; let alone their ancestors. The first disciple of the saint, Yan Zi (Yan Hui) who accompanied Confucius in the main hall of the Confucian Temple as a saint.
If someone publicly turned their backs on the (corrupted) imperial court and surrendered to the (emerging) Taiping Army, even as a temporary self-advertisement and follow-up propaganda method, it would be a very beneficial and shocking material.
"Then how can I prove the identity of this person instead of making false claims..."
Thinking of this, Zhou Huaian was not eager to make a conclusion.
"He claimed to have brought the "Memorial to the Nephew Sticker" from his family biography, and he would like to ask the army to send someone to appreciate it..."
Guo Yan, who seemed well-informed, immediately responded.
In an instant, Zhou Huai'an choked the drink in his throat and spit out suddenly; this. What kind of situation is this? The calligraphy book and national treasure "Memorial Nephew Sticker", the number one in the world, just delivered it to the door by myself? This is almost like a dream.
For this reason, Zhou Huaian also decided to meet someone in an exceptional manner. Then in the Zhouyali of Tanzhou, the future people were brought in by Yuhou Chang Mibao.
"In Xiayanshe, Jingzhaoren...Because of the changes in the family background, I have to seek refuge under the nobles..."
I saw that the other party was born like a thin bamboo pole and his clothes were shabby and humble, and his face was full of sorrowful expressions cringing arched hands.
Well, this name reminded Zhou Huai'an of the two beautiful faces that were put together in the chariot not long ago, and they were like flowers. They really existed very well.
"Now the only thing left in the Han family's disintegration is this thing. I only want the nobleman to make a copy and appreciate it. Don't have the idea of forcing and arrogance again; otherwise, I would rather go with it."
The incoming person continued to speak earnestly.
"Oh, is there such a reason unexpectedly... My Taiping Army takes the life of the people and the people as its own responsibility, and hates the world's violent grabbing the most, so I should just allow you..."
Zhou Huaian became interested all at once, and slightly improved his evaluation of the incoming person.
Then he secretly made up for it again, is there still the inside story of the coveted heirloom for the descendants of the Yan clan, and having to go out and throw the thief? This is another top-notch propaganda theme used to rate the imperial darkness and corruption.
You see, even the Yan clan after full loyalty is forced to be helpless and can only bring heirlooms to cast the thieves. Doesn't it mean that the dynasty aura that represents the destiny has already been shifted to our camp one after another.
At least for the majority of ordinary people who are ignorant, blind, and have limited insights, and need to undergo subtle transformations to awaken, they eat this set of mysticism such as the "aura" and "destiny" of gods and monsters.
Then Zhou Huaian called a fellow consultant Xu Zhong to come and taste it together. At least Zhou Huai'an doesn't have any distinguishing ability for this kind of things; at most he can only appreciate the extent to which the old man on the street who writes Spring Festival couplets for people, whether the calligraphy is good or not.
After all, as long as the poets of this era have a little reputation, they must have good calligraphy skills. The reason is very simple. It can be said that the writing is used to convey the truth and the words are used to reflect people; otherwise, when posting and publishing your masterpiece, you will not be able to see people or be thrown back on the spot.
Unfortunately, as contemporary celebrities, Pi Rixiu, Lu Guimeng, Qiu Huan, Fan Chuo and others are not here yet. Of course, there is no need to let them put down the business on the right track for a special manuscript, and rush over on the road.
However, after seeing the things on this yellowed silk scroll, Xu Zhong was amazed and shocked for a while; but for the sake of being more cautious, he is also self-proclaimed that his calligraphy skills are actually insufficient, and it is difficult to deal with this. Make appropriate judgments in the second line of the world.
Therefore, Xu Zhong recommended an old friend and fellow scholar for Zhou Huaian. He is also a famous contemporary poet and painter. Now it happens to be the monk Guanxiu who lives in the Longxing Temple in Jingzhou.
According to Xuzhong's introduction: It is said that this vulgar surname Jiang, with the word Deyin, a native of Lanhuo, Wuzhou, became a monk in Lanxi He'an Temple at the age of seven; , Officials and eunuchs; since then, they have grown up in friendship for more than ten years. Later, he moved to the Quanjiao Temple on the banks of the Fuchun River in Tonglu County, Yuezhou, and was stationed in Tin;
However, just a few years ago, because of the evil when composing poems and ridicule, Cui Miao, the then Yuezhou provincial governor and Zhedong observing envoy; Cui Miao, an envoy.) He was driven away from the local area just now. Since then, he ran up the river to Jiangling to place orders. He also visited the Cao Lu in Xuzhong in Yuanzhou.
It is said that he learned from the cursive script of Buddhist monk Huai Su, the master of calligraphy. This monk Huai Su is the great-great-grandson of the calligraphy sage Wang Xizhi, and there is also "Huai Su Tie" handed down to the world; the treasure of Tang Taizong's burial "Lanting Preface" was sent to Xiao Yu, a minister who was also proficient in calligraphy, to follow the copy This man deceived it by force and aggressiveness.
Therefore, the calligraphy he has been immersed in for decades is also outstanding; not only is he proficient in Wang's line of cursive and crazy grass, he has also delved into the same famous Yan Ti Liu character, and even copied similar Yan Lu Gong works in Beijing Zhaoshi.
It's just that he has been concealed by his more achievements and reputation in poetry, painting and calligraphy; therefore, if he can be asked to appraise this "Memorial Nephew Tie", it will undoubtedly be more secure.
However, this is obviously another historical celebrity known to Zhou Huai'an. Mainly because he left more than five hundred works in Tang poems, among which the phrase "full of flowers drunk three thousand guests, one sword of frost and cold fourteen states." is often quoted as a catchphrase on the Internet. .
In addition, as candidates recommended by Xuzhong to appraise manuscripts, there are also figures such as Qi Ji, Shang Yan, and Gu Xichan who happened to be located in Jingnan, Hunan, and Jiangxi. They have in common that they are both well-known poetry and calligraphy circles in the world. Middle man;
Among them, Qi Ji claimed to be the madman of Hengyue Shamen, Shangyan was a monk who was a monk in Jingmen, and Gu Xichan, a native of Dongting, was a Taoist who was famous for his vocal rhythms. For a while, the three religions of the monk, Taoism and Confucianism were all living together. In his words, as long as there is this "Nephew Sticker" to taste, at least there is no need to worry that they won't come.
Zhou Huaian also promised Xuzhong that if they were really within the expected level, it would not be a problem to give them a special subject and training course in calligraphy, art and literature.
This is the so-called reason that after the corresponding power and general momentum are obtained, if the world's heroes and handsome characters want to come out, they will naturally gather around like magnets.
It's just that after Zhou Huaian felt that he was used to role-playing as a monk, he seemed to have involved and attracted all the famous monks in the world in disguise.
