— "The Biography of Princess Jiaping in Yong Shi"〗
Lin Tong saw Wang Ji's brows lightly wrinkled, sitting on the horse in a daze, and said loudly: "Hey, don't be in a daze, I ask you, you haven't said what happened to Princess Changle?"
Wang Ji's body trembled slightly, then cupped his hands and said, "Report to the county lord, this still has to start with the civil strife in Dayong. At that time, the prince colluded with Fengyi's gate to surround the hunting palace, and King Yong rushed out of the siege, but was unable to join the army. , At this critical juncture, Princess Changle stepped forward and persuaded the rebel party not to attack the emperor's palace for the time being. When the two sides were at a stalemate, the princess obtained the emperor's secret decree and the general's token, and then tried every means to spread it out and mobilized The army of King Qin saved everyone and annihilated rebellion, so the emperor gave this princess the title of 'Ningguo'."
Lin Tong said suspiciously: "Really, the rebels must have surrounded the hunting palace, and Princess Changle is not my sister, she can ride out of the siege alone, how could it be possible to spread the secret message, you are not a liar Bar?"
At this time, Wang Ji had calmed down and regained his calm attitude. He smiled and said, "His Royal Highness Princess is famous, and the villain admires it very much. This Princess Changle is a weak woman who has no power to hold her back. How could it be possible to break out of the siege? This is about another person. This person’s surname is Jiang Mingzhe, and his name is Suiyun. He is a confidant under the command of King Yong. Forced to kill Fengyi Sect Master, the head of the three great masters in the world."
Lin Tong's eyes lit up and said, "Yeah, I heard people say that Fengyi's sect master has died, so the national teacher ordered that his servants can enter Dayong casually? But the national teacher is such a powerful and terrifying person, that Fengyi. No matter whether there is a powerful national teacher now, Sect Master Yi used to be the first of the three great masters. Is she really dead? Is that Jiang Zhe highly skilled in martial arts, so she can actually kill Sect Master Feng Yi? He and Princess Changle have another relationship. What's the deal?"
Her series of questions made Wang Ji smile wryly: "County Lord, should the Caomin answer that question first?"
Lin Tong smirked and said, "Speak slowly?"
Wang Ji said: "The county master, Jiang Zhe is also a weak person. The villain heard that he is extremely weak and often wanders between life and death, but this person's strategy and courage are unparalleled in the world."
Lin Tong sneered and said: "I don't believe this, how bold and knowledgeable a weak scholar can be. This county master has seen many scholars and talents. As long as he sees a knife and gun, he is either scared to death or surrenders on his knees. Besides, no matter how powerful this person is, Are you more powerful than my brother-in-law?"
Wang Ji glanced at Lin Bi in embarrassment, and Lin Bi smiled slightly: "You don't have to be shy, this palace also wants to hear the opinions of outsiders."
Wang Ji bowed his hands in apology, and then said: "The county master, this is incomparable, the literati has the character of the literati, the warrior has the courage of the warrior, General Long is the commander of the three armies, and is one of the best in the world. Excellent, but if you put yourself in his shoes, I am afraid that General Long will not be able to do what Lord Jiang Zhejiang has done."
Lin Tong widened his eyes and said, "Then I will listen to you carefully. If you exaggerate, I will punish you."
Wang Ji smiled slightly and said, "This Master Jiang was originally my servant of Southern Chu. In the 16th year of Xiande, he became famous in one fell swoop and became the champion in the exam. If you talk about the splendid articles in the world, he is not better than Nan. Chu, this Master Jiang has won the first prize, and it can be said that his writing and poetry are the best in the world, and no one in the world can match his peerless talent."
Lin Tong pouted and said, "Are you bullying me for not loving reading? Sister, tell me, is what he said true?"
Lin Bifeng's eyes were a little confused and said: "He said it well, this Jiang Zhuangyuan is really second to none if he is a scholar, you continue to say."
Wang Ji said softly: "If you say how good his poetry is, Caomin has no knowledge, it's not very clear, but Caomin likes a little poem from his early years the most." After that, he cleared his throat and sang aloud: "One spring breeze, one leaf boat, one cocoon and one light hook. Flowers are full, wine is full, and there are thousands of waves of freedom." He sang very emotionally, and his voice was very melodious and clear, and everyone seemed to be there too. It is generally above the rivers and lakes with blue waves.
After singing the song, Wang Ji continued: "Master Jiang has been in the Hanlin for several years, and has been appreciated by me, Prince Zhao Jue, the Xian Wangde of Southern Chu, and went out with the army to go to Shu. There is one thing that is well-known. After the fall of the Shu Kingdom, Li Zhi, the King of Shu, wanted to bring the King of Shu back to Dayong. In this way, although Dayong and Nanchu divided the territory of the Kingdom of Shu equally, Dayong controlled the King of Shu, so he would take it. It was very cheap. At that time, Dayong was at the height of the sky, and although Southern Chu had thousands of troops, there was no way to turn the situation around. It was this Master Jiang who sang a song after the banquet and forced the King of Shu to commit suicide. Since then, The court and the public praised Lord Jiang as the number one talent in Southern Chu."
Lin Tong said in disbelief, "I don't believe it. A poem can kill a king, sister. Is what he said true?"
Lin Bi reached out and stroked the young girl's hair, and said, "Everyone has a heart of shame and hatred. The Kingdom of Shu was destroyed, trapped in a rut, and ridiculed in public. It's no wonder that he committed suicide."
Lin Tong nodded knowingly, and said, "Sister said it's true, it's true, but this Jiang Zhe is really vicious."
Wang Ji smiled and said, "Perhaps so, but Master Jiang became seriously ill after returning from Shuzhong. He hasn't been to court for nearly two years, and he just recuperates at home. I don't think Master Jiang is proud of those things."
Lin Tong asked again: "Ah, I remembered that in the nineteenth year of Rongsheng, King Yong defeated Jianye. Since this Master Jiang was later a confidant of King Yong, he must have surrendered to King Yong at that time, and he wrote a poem to ridicule him. The King of Shu surrendered, but he bowed his knees and surrendered, it seems that the bones are not hard, is this what you mean by literati?"
Wang Ji's expression darkened, and he said: "The county lord said this, and the Caomin have no way to argue, but from the Caomin's point of view, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with Mr. Jiang. In the 22nd year of Xiande, the lord could not see the situation clearly. He must be promoted to the throne. Lord Jiang wrote a letter to remonstrate, and was so angry that the country chief beheaded him, but it was finally due to the talent and merit of Lord Jiang, but he was only demoted to a commoner. However, Lord Jiang insisted that he would not surrender. Later, Lord Jiang was forcibly taken back to Dayong by His Royal Highness King Yong. Caomin heard that King Yong was very important to Lord Jiang and tried his best to persuade him to surrender. Caomin thought that Lord Jiang finally surrendered or it was because of Yong Is Wang's heart too sincere?"
Lin Tong said reluctantly: "Although it is said that the worthy ministers choose the master and serve, but I still feel that there is no such thing as a strong character."
Wang Ji shook his head and smiled and said, "The county lord said yes." Although he said that, his expression was obviously a little perfunctory. Lin Tong was about to press on when Lin Bi said, "Tong'er, don't you want to continue listening? "
Lin Tong just shut up. She admires her sister and brother-in-law the most, so she is very unhappy that Wang Ji thinks Jiang Zhe is stronger than her brother-in-law.
Wang Ji went on to say: "What the hell did Lord Jiang plan for King Yong, the people don't know, but His Royal Highness King Yong respects and loves Lord Jiang very much, like a teacher like a friend, like a brother like a brother, Lord Jiang arrived in Dayong not long ago, so Prince De's personal bodyguard sneaked into Dayong to assassinate Lord Jiang. It is said that Prince De left a secret order on his deathbed that if Lord Jiang went to another country, he would kill Lord Jiang. I heard that Lord Jiang was seriously injured and almost died. It was His Highness King Yong who exhausted all kinds of precious medicines to prolong his life, and he couldn't wait for the medical treatment of Mr. Sheng Sang. His Royal Highness King Yong was very angry because of this incident. Since then, it is said that the defense around Lord Jiang is stronger than that of Yong. The king is more strict."
Lin Tong said in shock: "Why is your Prince De so ruthless? Although Jiang Zhe was out of step, he was excusable. Besides, everyone else is dead, so why bother?"
Wang Ji sighed and said, "Many people thought the same thing at that time, no matter what, Lord Jiang always made a contribution to Nan Chu. Although he changed his job to Dayong, it was Nan Chu who dismissed him first, and the guard also It's too stubborn, and besides, Lord Jiang is just a scribe, and Prince De still remembers him before his death, which is a lot of trouble. But then the guard was chased and killed by a servant next to Lord Jiang on his way back to Nanchu. Above the big river, this servant's name is Li Shun. He was originally a eunuch in the Nanchu Palace. I don't know why he became a servant with Lord Jiang. No one cared about him at first, but this Li Shun had the ability to kill him. Guard, people know that he is actually a rare master. Such a master is willing to be a servant of Lord Jiang. Only then did someone think that maybe Lord Jiang has some skills, but most people still don't take Lord Jiang seriously. Especially after Mr. Jiang was assassinated, his body was extremely weak, and he spent half a year on the sickbed. The county master should know that if a person is not in good health, even if he is very capable, he may only be able to display two or three points. "
Lin Tong was fascinated, and couldn't help asking: "Then how did Mr. Jiang give advice to King Yong, and how did he force Fengyi to kill the sect master?"
Wang Ji sighed and said: "Caomin also doesn't know how Lord Jiang advises King Yong, but I heard that after Lord Jiang helped King Yong to quell the rebellion, he has already disappeared. It is said that his temples are like frost, and he often vomits blood. Some people say that Lord Jiang I'm afraid it won't last long."
Hearing this, Lin Bi sighed softly: "I did my best and died, but unfortunately this person is not in my Northern Han Dynasty. You can continue talking."
Wang Ji then continued: "Jiang Zhe was also in the hunting palace at that time, and he was seriously ill. It was he who immediately saw through the prince's conspiracy and did not let King Yong die in the hands of the villain. When King Yong broke through, everyone was If you don't bring him, you have to bring him, but Lord Jiang took the initiative to stay, and the one who collects Lord Jiang is Princess Changle."
Lin Tong rolled his eyes and said, "Why did Princess Changle take him in? Could it be that they have an affair?"
Wang Ji hesitated for a moment, then said: "This grass-roots person can't say it well, Princess Changle was the mother of Nanchu State, Lord Jiang was a minister of Nanchu, Princess Changle lived in the deep palace all the year round, Lord Jiang rarely entered the court, it is reasonable to say that the two of them It is impossible to have an affair. Later, some people said that after Princess Changle entered Chu, her favorite poems were poems and articles. Master Jiang’s poems were the best in the world. Princess Changle loved the poems of Master Jiang the most, probably because of her admiration for Master Jiang. However, there is a difference between the superior and the inferior, and the status of a monarch and a minister cannot be surpassed, so Princess Changle refused to talk to Emperor Yong to recruit Lord Jiang as her concubine. However, during the Hunting Palace Incident, Lord Jiang went to ask for help, and Princess Changle naturally wanted to do it no matter what. To save him, Master Jiang devised a strategy, and the princess took the secret decree token from Emperor Yong, and then Master Jiang sent someone to send the secret decree, and this time he invited the soldiers of King Qin."
Lin Tong asked curiously, "Master Jiang went to ask the princess for help, does it mean that Master Jiang also knows that the princess likes him?"
Wang Ji said with a smile: "This grasshopper doesn't know either. In fact, no matter what, Lord Jiang can only ask Princess Changle for help. Princess Changle has always been neutral. If Prince Dayong and Prince Yong fight, the princess may not intervene. , but when it comes to the emperor, Her Royal Highness, the princess, has a deep relationship with her father and daughter, so naturally she will not sit back and watch the prince intimidate his father."
Lin Tong asked again, "Then Master Jiang hasn't been found, and how did he send the secret order?"
Wang Ji's expression became reverent, and said: "Master Jiang is probably very tight in hiding, and it may be that those who betrayed the party did not pay attention to this weak scholar. As for the person who passed the edict, this is the most unexpected place. Xiahou Yuan Feng was originally a member of the prince's party, and he also participated in the rebellion. It is said that he was very close to the prince's young master, Lu Jingzhong, so he never imagined that this person took the opportunity of sending the false imperial edict for the prince to take out the real secret edict. Xiahou Yuan Feng was not originally from King Yong. Everyone knows this, and no one understands why this person is persuaded by Lord Jiang. He has made a great contribution to his abandonment, and now he is even more favored. But the ability of Lord Jiang is really admirable, and he has done such an impossible thing."
Lin Tong nodded and said, "So that's what it is, then tell me about Jiang Zhe's forced murder of Fengyi's sect master. I still don't believe he has that kind of ability."
Wang Ji's expression brightened, and he said, "Speaking of this matter, it is really convincing. Master Jiang is just a weak scholar, and I am afraid that Fengyi's sect master can kill him with a single finger. That day Fengyi The door rebellion failed, all the rebels were surrounded, and it was about to be wiped out. Who would have known that the door master Fengyi descended from the sky, standing alone on the main hall, except for the emperor and the prince above the golden hall. However, in front of the head of the three great masters, a woman, all bowed their heads, and no one dared to look directly in the eye, but Master Jiang, a weak scholar, and a dying person who vomited blood, had a voice like a stone, sonorous and powerful, Ning For the sake of Yusui’s unwillingness to do everything, Fengyi’s sect master had to agree to stay as a hostage in exchange for the lives of his disciples.
Lin Tong wanted to speak, but when he thought that he was fortunate enough to meet the national teacher, he didn't dare to breathe. Thinking about it this way, Jiang Zhe dared not be afraid of life and death in front of Fengyi's sect master. say.
Wang Ji added: "Not many people know about the next thing, but the master of Fengyi was surrounded and killed by the master Cizhen of Shaolin Temple and the evil shadow Li Shun on the seventh day. ."
Lin Tong asked, "So how do you say that Jiang Zhe forced to kill Fengyi's sect master?"
Wang Ji said: "This news came from the Shaolin Temple. It is said that the master of Fengyi was originally injured. She took the Jiuzhuan Heart Protection Pill from Mr. Yishengsang and temporarily protected the heart, but Mr. Jiang He is a disciple of the Sage of Medicine, proficient in medical skills. What method did he use to make the master of Fengyi exhausted in seven days, so the master of Fengyi was finally forced to fight to the death. Master Cizhen is also a master. The evil shadow Li Shun is also a top expert. The Eighteen Kings of Shaolin Temple joined forces to form a battle. How could the master of Fengyi not die, and I heard that in the end it was the evil shadow Li Shun who took advantage of the duel between the two great masters and seriously injured Fengyi by sneak attack. Lord, it was the first generation of masters who were forced to die. If Fengyi's sect master didn't have the will to die, I'm afraid that Hongfei would have died long ago, and he would end without knowing what to do."
Lin Tong looked very shocked, and after a while, he said: "Then this Master Jiang is really powerful, but that Master Cizhen is too lacking in the grandmaster demeanor. He joined forces to attack, and even let people sneak attack and plot, but how could he spread such a thing? Shame?"
Wang Ji shook his head and said, "Caomin just thought it was a joke, but he didn't understand Master Cizhen's mind."
Lin Tong looked up at Lin Bi and said coquettishly, "Sister, you must know. Tell me quickly."
Lin Bi couldn't be bothered by her, so she could only laugh: "What's strange, that Mr. Jiang's mind is so deep, and Master Cizhen spread this matter out, everyone is naturally afraid, and then he will naturally treat this Mr. Jiang. Be a little more careful, I think Master Cizhen is a bit sad, right?"
Lin Tong nodded and said, "Oh, what about Wang Ji, Jiang Zhe and Princess Changle?"
Wang Ji added: "When the sect master of Fengyi appeared, although all the heroes above the golden hall were all heroes, they all bowed their heads. Only two people were always fearless in life and death, which is admirable. The body directly scolded the master of Fengyi, which made Qunying feel ashamed. The other person was Princess Changle. At that time, Mr. Jiang was injured by the internal force of the master of Fengyi, and he vomited blood. Princess Changle ignored the pointer of the master of Fengyi, and visited Jiang in person. The injury of the adults, the sincerity of the feelings, the disregard of life and death, how can people not sigh."
Lin Tong gave an "ah" and said, "Could it be that Princess Changle is married to Jiang Zhe, then it is no wonder that others put Princess Changle and my sister side by side, then Jiang Zhe can really be compared with my brother-in-law."
Wang Ji smiled slightly, knowing that this little county master said this, he admitted that Jiang Zhe was really good. He didn't say anything, and continued: "Although King Yong once asked the emperor to grant marriage, the ministers were also moved by their deep feelings. Although they felt that it violated the etiquette, no one discouraged it, but Emperor Yong refused."
Lin Tong said in surprise: "Why, Jiang Zhe made such a great achievement, he and the princess are in love with each other, why didn't Emperor Yong agree?"
Wang Ji smiled and said: "The reason is because Lord Jiang is very ill, Emperor Yong is very worried that if Lord Jiang's life is not long, Princess Changle will have a rough life. I dare not say anything wrong.”
Lin Tong nodded and said, "So that's the way it is, and that's right. Then, after Mr. Jiang was raised, the emperor of Dayong gave them a marriage?"
Wang Ji smiled and said: "If this is the case, then it can't be called a legend. That Master Jiang made such a great contribution, and he is about to rise to the top, but he took the evil shadow Li Shun after the ceremony of King Yong's establishment. Quietly away, it is said that this Master Jiang came and went to understand that all the rewards of King Yong were sealed up, and he would not take any of them. Some people used to think that his reputation was at a disadvantage, and now they can't help but sigh."
A glimmer of reverence flashed in Lin Tong's eyes, and he said, "Then this Master Jiang's character and talent are truly unparalleled in the world, but although he is amazing, you didn't want to tell me why Princess Changle can be as famous as my sister, why did you go off topic? ?"
Wang Ji thought to himself, I really digressed, and I was attracted by you, but he smiled on his face: "The county master doesn't know something, although Jiang Zhe walked away, not taking a single person, but he abducted a person. "
Lin Tong widened his eyes and said, "Could it be, could it be that Princess Changle eloped with her?"
Wang Ji slapped his palms and said, "That's right, Princess Changle is inherently soft on the outside and tough on the inside. When Emperor Yong forced her to marry another, she swore to die. Now Emperor Yong does not allow her to marry Lord Jiang, but Lord Jiang left like this. How can the princess be at ease, these two people are people who have exhausted their youthful efforts for Dayong, so they have no scruples, so they both go far away, and from now on, they are happy and happy, and they are a pair of gods and immortals. The mandarin ducks are not envious of the immortals. This princess, her Royal Highness, has already been promoted to Princess Changle of Ningguo, and she is extremely honored, and the mother-in-law has been promoted to the queen. This strange woman should be able to barely compare to Her Royal Highness Princess Jiaping." As he said that, he looked at Lin Bi with caution in his eyes.
Lin Bi shook her head and said, "Princess Changle of Ningguo has both loyalty and filial piety. You don’t understand the true meaning of it, and it’s not good if you know it, today Mr. Wang told you, I think you still understand the truth, so it won’t stop you.”
After that, Lin Bi's eyes fell on Wang Ji, and she said meaningfully: "Mr. Wang, you are young, but you have a lot of knowledge, which is really rare."
Everyone's eyes fell on Wang Ji, with some doubts and precautions.
