After fighting with Agu, accumulating military exploits, and finally being posthumously named the Duke of Guo, Wanyan Wenqin's family is embarrassed in Yunzhong Mansion, but it is only compared with various sons and brothers of the same level. A family that can enter the palace at any time, and the characters on the stage can greet each other, the annual award is enough to make many ordinary people happy for a lifetime.
It's just that the Jin Kingdom was just established, and many things and rules were in a period of turmoil. Some people praised the hot face, but no one stepped on the cold threshold. Wanyan Wenqin's grandfather had passed away, and the single-line person himself was frail and sick, and the family's downfall was predictable. In such an environment, a big name makes people feel resentful and aggrieved.
Wanyan Wenqin grew up in such an environment. He couldn't practice martial arts and could only write literature, but to be honest, he grew up in the Jurchen family, and everyone respected courage. Profound, that's why he is respected because of his martial arts. Wanyan Wenqin was neglected and ridiculed since he was a child, or at least he thought so.
But he likes to hear about books and stories.
In the early years, when the Jurchen rose to destroy the Liao Dynasty and attacked the martial arts, regardless of the Liao people, there were people with great knowledge and knowledge. They found some teachers for him at home. Killed a few old things. But he had always had the habit of hearing about books. An old scholar who had been kidnapped from the Wu Dynasty a few years earlier was gradually loved by Wanyan Wenqin.
The old scholar of the Wu Dynasty told stories in a fascinating and never vulgar way. He told some stories for him and occasionally taught him some southern idioms or vocabulary. Wanyan Wenqin didn't notice it at first, so he uttered a few words and sentences while interacting with people and explained it. The family thought that the little master was smart, and there was hope in the family. After admiring and boasting, Wanyan Wenqin felt that reading. The benefit, the benefit of being informed.
He slowly began to pay attention to the old scholar, and only then did he know that the old man's name was Dai Mo, and he was also a famous person in Bianliang Ben. Wanyan Wenqin asked Dai Mo to tell him stories. In addition to storytelling, he occasionally talked about various kinds of knowledge, and Wanyan Wenqin's various concepts about the world and his surroundings only "grew up" since then.
Wanyan Wenqin, who grew up in the Northland environment, felt that there was no hope since he was a child. In the past, he was just short-tempered and casually beating and scolding people. Dai Mo sorted him out one by one, and told many stories of weak people who can make achievements and make careers. Wanyan Wenqin was full of emotions. , Only then did he find a way, and he gradually came to understand that Jurchen used force to build the country, but after the country is stable, knowledgeable literati are what the country needs most, fists can no longer solve the problem, the only one who can solve the problem is his own. mind.
Seeing hope in this way, last year, an old man named Dai Mo was seriously ill. Wanyan Wenqin was afraid that he would lose his books and listen to him, so he asked his family to cure him no matter what, and even sold a treasure at home for this. After the old man recovered from his illness, he confided the truth to Wanyan Wenqin. He is a descendant of the Way of the Spring and Autumn Ghost Valley and the Way of Vertical and Horizontal. , his understanding has not reached the deepest depth, the Wu Dynasty has a lot of abuses, he wanted to repay the country, but he was unable to return to the sky. After being taken captive to the Jin Kingdom, he wanted to go underground with the knowledge in his chest, but he never expected to encounter such a situation. Rich little lord...
In Dai Mo's mouth, Guigu Zonghengdao studies the knowledge of this world, and the mind is flexible and adaptable. It is by no means that you can learn it without dying. If you think about it, then you should be a descendant of this way.
Jin Guo has been stable for ten years, and he has always longed for the literary affairs of the Wu Dynasty. Wanyan Wenqin has been suffering for nearly 20 years, and finally he has waited for such an adventure. In the various stories he has heard, the protagonist is the virtuous one Humans have never encountered such a fortuitous encounter, not to mention seeing other Jurchens oppressing Han slaves, their own attitude towards Dai Mo, and thinking about it over and over again, it is a shame. In the following year, he heard Dai Mo talk about all kinds of sinister things in the world. His heart was treacherous, and the way to break the game. Since then, he opened up a new world in his heart. Dai Mo occasionally told him about various inspirational things. story that inspired him to move forward.
At the end of last year, Wanyan Wenqin was a virtuous corporal and offered to worship Dai Mo as his teacher. Since then, he has treated him like a teacher. Dai Mo is grateful. He originally had only one daughter, who had already died in the war, but he never imagined that when he was old, with such a son and descendant, he would be able to retire in old age.
During Dai Mo's explanation, Wanyan Wenqin gradually became aware of the various problems in Jurchen's country, as well as his own problems. Wanting to spend several lifetimes pointing to the identity of the grandfather and the prince, that is something that a worthless person does, and it is not realistic. A man’s fame is only based on his own merits, and he can’t go to the battlefield himself. He wants to gain a firm foothold in the cloud. That person has his own belongings and strength.
At this time, after the founding of the country in the Yunzhong Mansion, Wanyan Wenqin could not reach out to others. However, since the arrival of the Qi family, he has seen hope. For more than half a year, Dai Mo has given daily Wanyan Wenqin analyzed the situation, studied feasible plans, and privately investigated information on various underworlds around Yunzhongfu.
The news that the prisoners of the Black Flag Army will be sent is confirmed, and the whole plan to deal with the Qi family finally has a focus. Xiao Shuqing and others outside the Yunzhong Mansion thought they were the dominant players and pulled themselves into the game, but they didn't even know that it was their side who started the game behind.
Half a month before the whole plan was made, the old man who spent half a year working hard and thinking hard finally came to the end of his life. When he was about to die, Dai Mo and Wanyan Wenqin said that he could not see the other party in the country of Jin. It looks like he is rising. I just hope that he can walk out of a glorious avenue in the future and carry forward this ghost valley and vertical and horizontal road.
Seeing that the old man was dead, Wanyan Wenqin no longer had any worries or hesitations in his heart, and he no longer had the slightest fear about the way to put himself into the game to dispel everyone's doubts. A man takes his name from his own merits, and he wants to use heaven and earth as his chess. If he dares not even take his life, what will he achieve in the future!
In this way, to this day, everything finally went smoothly. Wanyan Wenqin left Qingyingfang in a sedan chair, waiting for the arrival of tomorrow.
At the same time, Tang Minjie had already driven out of the city in a vehicle carrying vegetables. He had been in business during these days and had daily contacts with the guards at the city gate, so the search was not strict. After leaving the city, the carriage turned towards a barren mountain outside the city, and when it stopped, a thin and gray-faced woman climbed out of the car.
Tang Minjie led him up the mountain, walked through the woods, and saw a grave on the edge of the wood. One of the tombstones read "Dai Shuyuan's Tomb", and the woman instantly burst into tears and knelt in front of the grave.
Tang Minjie looked around.
"Dai Gong was very concerned about you when he was alive. I wanted to bring him to see you, but he said that he was a tiger and wolf, and he was afraid that he would be weak in his heart. But I didn't expect that a month ago, he suddenly fell ill. Maybe it was an omen in his heart. He repeatedly mentioned you to me, saying that he regretted not being able to see you again. Let his wife and children suffer this great calamity, as an official, the country and the people suffer, and the thousands of men in the Wu Dynasty cannot atone for their sins. For the rest of his life, he lived only to atone for his sins, but this is... I'm even more sorry for you. Of course , He also knows that you have been relatively stable in the past few years, so that you can settle down, if she knows that you are still suffering, he will definitely put you first."
The woman on the ground kowtowed, and then kept shaking her head, sobbing. Tang Minjie was silent for a moment.
"Dai Gong has done amazing things. We will slowly recover everything that Jurchen put on you back then... But you can't stay here any longer. I have arranged for the chariots and horses, you go first. Go south, and later, martial law will be imposed on all levels..."
A figure came over the mountain road and made a gesture. Tang Minjie patted the woman on the shoulder:
"Miss Dai, it's time to leave..."
After a while, the woman got up from the ground, wiped her tears, then turned around, put her hand on Tang Minjie's chest, and made a hoarse and weak voice: "Promise me, don't let them go... Don't let my father die in vain. …”
Tang Minjie looked at her and tilted her head.
At this moment, his eyes were gentle, revealing a clear smile without any impurities.
"Take care along the way."
****************
The fifth day of the seventh lunar month in the thirteenth year of the Jintianhui was an ordinary and unusual day. If there was a chilling atmosphere condensing in Yunzhongfu, many people did not notice it, but some people felt such clues in advance.
In Wanyan Xiyin's residence of Prince Yu, the second son Wanyan Youyi was putting on makeup. Chen Wenjun came in from outside and looked at him for a while: "What's wrong? Dressed so beautifully, which girl are you going to meet?"
"Mother." Wanyan Youyi bowed to her, but hesitated slightly, "I don't dare to deceive my mother, my son wants to go to the Qi residence for a banquet."
Chen Wenjun frowned. Although she was a Han Chinese, she was always displeased with the Qi family who betrayed the military and invested in gold. The great Confucian Qi Yan posted several times to visit her, a younger woman, but Chen Wenjun did not agree. Of course, in many scenes , she naturally wouldn't say too clearly that she didn't like the Qi family.
"The Qi family has another banquet today? What is it that you can't bear?"
Wanyan Youyi laughed: "The Qi family has made a lot of money today. I asked someone to come and appreciate the "Golden Bridge". It is said that it is genuine, and my son just wants to go and see it."
"It's no wonder you are so itchy as a painting of a saint." Chen Wenjun smiled. "Golden Bridge" is the work of Wu Daozi, a painting saint of the Tang Dynasty. Among Xiyin's two sons, Wanyan Dezhong excelled in calligraphy, Wanyan Youyi loves to study painting, so it's no wonder she can't help it. She frowned for a moment, then lowered her gaze.
"Don't go to Qi's house today, it's a little strange, please bear with it."
"Mother..."
"Okay." Chen Wenjun laughed, "In this way, I promise you that you won't go to Qi's house for a few days, and my mother will go to Qi's house to get the "Golden Bridge" for you in the future, so that you can take it home and privately Enjoy it for a few days, okay?"
"But... why? The Qi family is going to have an accident?"
"Who knows? The Qi family has an old relationship with the Heiqi. This time it was done. He took the captives of the Heiqi to the cloud, saying that they were going to be delayed and tortured. Look, someone is going to go crazy, and the Qi family will suffer from bad luck sooner or later... What your father taught before, a gentleman can only carry things with virtue and virtue. No matter what, he is from the Wu Dynasty. He has been in the Wu Dynasty family for a hundred years, and he has taken advantage of it, but he is not guilty. The heart can't be…”
Chen Wenjun started talking, and when he arrived, his face became darker, and Wanyan Youyi's face became solemn, and he was taught.
The sun reached a high place, and it gradually set. In the evening, Wanyan Wenqin left the house and went to the Qi Mansion with the few sons and brothers who had greeted him earlier. On the streets outside the Qi Mansion, the pedestrians who stepped on it also It was already there. At the inconspicuous back door, Tang Minjie drove a carriage and dragged the last half-carriage of vegetables and fruits into Qi Mansion. Outside the city, in a place called Xinzhuang, the prisoners of the Black Flag Army have been escorted to the place, and many forces in and outside the city have put their sights on it.
On the fifth day of the seventh lunar month, this is the eighth day after the start of the Jiangnan War. The siege battle in Yangzhou has entered a white-hot state, and the confrontation in Xiangyang has already had the first wave of victory and defeat. Nearly two million troops have already or will soon be. Into the war, the whole world has been dragged into a huge vortex. In the evening of Hai Shi, the massacre in the cloud, which shocked the world, broke out.
