Golden Knife Yang Linggong 7: She Hongzhou pondered for a moment and started to tell. As early as Tang Xuanzong Li Longji was reigning, the border general An Lushan scheming a rebellion. An Lushan has a deputy general named zhesilun , who is very brave in martial arts. Later, with the support of generals Guo Ziyi and others, Tang Suzong Li Heng quelled the rebellion and issued an order to arrest the rebel leader, and Zhe Silun was one of them.
In order to avoid disaster, Zhe Silun led his family to Xifu County, Shaanxi Province. According to the homophonic, he changed his surname to "She", and lived in seclusion since then. Although he lived in seclusion, his martial arts family could not be abandoned, and the She family had all produced heroes for generations. By the end of the Tang Dynasty, the She family had become a big family. The old patriarch She Congruan has two sons, the eldest son She Biao’s courtesy name is Hongjiang, and the second son She Cun’s courtesy name is Hongzhou. The brothers are both very skilled in martial arts, but their temperaments are very different.
Brother She Biao values fame and fortune, and neglects right and wrong. In order to have a high official and generous salary, he actually protected Emperor Gaozu of Jin Shi Jingtang. His younger brother She Hongzhou advised him: "In order to be the emperor of , Shi Jingtang ceded 
Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures to Liao Kingdom. How can such a traitor protect him?" This was a good word, but She Biao was right in his ears and still worked hard for Shi Jingtang. A few years later, Liu Zhiyuan later launched an army to attack Jin, and appointed General Sweeping North and King of Volcanoes to take charge of military affairs. Yang Gun was brave and good at fighting and had captured She Biao many times.
She Biao is cunning and every time he is captured, he agrees to fight against Liao together. For national interests, Yang Gun let him go. Once he regained his freedom, he immediately repented and threatened to use the Liao army to attack Yang Gun. There was a great military advisor under Yang Gun's tent, named Hu Yanfeng. He was Yang Gun's cousin and was resourceful. In order to conquer She Biao, he offered a plan to Yang Gun: "Master, as far as I know, She Biao has a young daughter named She Saihua. She is about the same age as your seventh son Yang Jiye. Why don't you make a family with him? With this kind of love, She Biao will not rebel again."
Due to the situation at that time, Yang Gun agreed. She Biao was captured again, and Hu Yanfeng raised the media on the spot, and She Biao agreed. After being released, he gave his three-year-old daughter to his younger brother She Hongzhou. And said: "From now on, Saihua will be your biological child. I will never let her marry Yangmen . This is my will, you must execute it!" After that, he rode alone to Liao Kingdom to borrow troops, but was killed by bandits on the way.
In the first "Yang Family Generals" "Volcano King Yang Gun", it was said that She Saihua was She Biao's daughter. This "Golden Sword Yang Linggong" also says that she is She Hongzhou's daughter, and readers will have questions, and this question is solved at this point. Let’s talk about She Hongzhou. The big sword in his hand was invincible. Because he was unwilling to protect Shi Jingtang, he became his home in the world and wandered around the world. One year, he came to Shetang Pass and happened to be a group of thieves in Guanzhong.
They killed the general guarding the gate , burned the Shuaihu Hall, captured the people's wealth, raped women, and caused trouble for the people in Shetang Guan to live in trouble. Out of righteous indignation, She Hongzhou immediately took the sword and killed the thief back. The political situation was chaotic at that time. In two or three years, officials from all over the country were independent, and no one could control the other. So, the officials and people of Shetangguan unanimously petitioned: Your surname is She, and it is the savior sent by God to Shetangguan. Don’t leave, just protect us here. We will rebuild the Shuaihu Hall for you.
She Hongzhou had no place to go, so he agreed. Officials and people cheered, some paid for their money to rebuild the burned Shuaihu Hall. Coincidentally, when digging the foundation, many large tanks were dug out, filled with cellar silver. I don’t know which dynasty and which generation left it, and it was more than 200,000 taels! At that time, people believed that this silver was a blessing brought by She Hongzhou, so they regarded She Hongzhou as a god! It was rich and easy to do things. She Hongzhou rebuilt Shuaihu Hall, buried her former general, and became the leader of Shetang Pass. He used the batch of cellar silver to recruit 10,000 young and strong men, and after training, he became an iron cavalry.
From then on, Shetang Pass was as solid as a golden soup, She Hongzhou settled here, and brought his wife, three sons and niece Saihua together. It was not until the founding of the Song Dynasty that he was appointed Marshal Shetangguan. "Record your career." The old marshal sighed after he talked about the past. "Alas, when my brother Yu Biao was alive, he had been against your father for a lifetime and became a family of children.Back then, your father traveled around the world and came to Shetang Pass twice. He established a friendship with me but didn't know that I was She's younger brother. "
" Due to the situation at that time, I kept hiding the matter of Saihua from him. It is hard to disobey God's will, but the couple cannot break up. You shoot rabbits outside the pass and meet the flower in the Qixing Temple. This is a marriage that has been decided early, otherwise it would not be so coincidental!" Jiye nodded repeatedly: "My father-in-law, my father has ordered the flower flower for me. I have heard of it. I thought it would be finished long ago after more than ten years of no information. That day, the Seven Star Temple met and the lady signed up for She Saihua. I was stunned for a while and thought that the same name and surname were the same. Who knew that there was such a clever thing in the world? If Saihua knew the true love, she would be surprised. "
" She followed me at the age of three, but she didn't know her life experience. It’s better to respect her biological father’s will and hide it to the end, and it can also reduce right and wrong. "It's right. "It's good tomorrow, I'll hold a wedding for you. "You decide everything. "The generals of the border got along well with Yang Jiye, and they all admired his character and martial arts. What's more, the old marshal married his daughter, who doesn't really congratulate him? The marriage was very lively.
Saihua is a heroine. She entered the bridal chamber at night and did not take it seriously. She just asked with a smile: "Husband, I have something unknown, I want to ask you for advice in person. "Jiye smiled and said, "Saihua, although you and my husband respect each other as guests, there is no word "seeking advice". If you have something to say, I’m afraid the fool will not answer. "
" is the most familiar thing about it. I remember when I was a child, I met my father-in-law twice. He is generous and amiable. Once, I was practicing swordsmanship and was caught by him, and he praised him endlessly. I took this opportunity to ask him for advice, but the old man said that if he learns marksmanship, he can teach me a few tricks. If he learns swordsmanship, he will be ordinary. I believed it at that time. Today, it seems... Husband, is the old man intentionally coaxing me?"
"Saihua, how can you speak like this? Since you have entered my Yang family, you should believe in the morality of my Yang family. My father is your elder, how could he coax you?" The girl pouted her mouth: "Hmph, even you coax me!" Jiye was a little stupid: "What do you say?" "I used to have a joke that when a big cat teaches a kitten, he will teach whatever he will do. When I was teaching the tiger to learn skills, I left the trick of climbing a tree. Humph, you both treat me as a tiger!"
Yang Jiye laughed: "I understand. Back then, my father said that the sword skills were ordinary, but I just used the purple gold knife. What you mean is that my father has a backup plan for you and pass on the sword technique to me. This is called 'coaxing you', right?" "Just understand!" Saihua refused to give in. "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Saihua, my father really doesn’t know how to sword skills. This is well known to everyone for his life. As for my purple gold knife, it still has a lot of origin. "
Saihua poured her husband a cup of hot tea: "Husband, the moon is white, the wind is clear, and the long night is quiet. I want to hear the origin of this purple gold knife. "It's a long story, and I have to start with my father's spear. When my father was young, his marksmanship was extremely ordinary..." "You coaxed me again. Isn't my father-in-law's marksmanship dominating the world and being invincible?" "That was later. "
Jiye took a sip of hot tea and continued: "My grandfather's name is Yang Hui. When Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty was reigned, he served as the commander of the three provinces of Jindou. My grandmother Hu Yan was also from a military general family. The old couple gave birth to my father only, and they were very eager to hope that their son would become successful. At that time, my grandfather Yang Hui was known as the "No. 1 sword in the world", and he wanted to teach my father the sword technique. But my father said, "You are the first one, no matter how well I learn, it is the second one." If you want to be the first, not the second!"
"For this reason, my father decided to learn guns. He learned the Liuhe Gun from the sharpshooter Xia Shuqi, the flower Gunman Xia Shuyan, and the white horse and silver spear Gao Siji. At the age of seventeen, he became the best in the world. So, we found the 'Invincible Hands in the World' Li Cunxiao to compete for the 'Invincible Card'. When the two horses confronted each other, they were almost knocked to death by Li Cunxiao! From then on, his father lived in seclusion in Huotang Village and prepared to visit the famous teacher again. " "Have you visited?" Saihua was in high spirits."Xia Shuqi, Xia Shuyan, and Gao Siji are all the most outstanding gunmen in the modern era. Who dares to teach the apprentices they taught?"
"What should I do?" "God pays off. Taiyuan Prefecture has a bankrupt house named Liu Qi. This man's ancestors have a very basic foundation. When it came to his generation, his family was defeated because of eating, drinking, gamble. Liu Gong's reputation was very bad, even though he was both literary and military, But no one needs him, he just has to carry water for others, work hard all day long, and not be able to feed and fed." Saihua smiled and said, "Could this rogue who carries water become his father-in-law's master?"
" Otherwise. Liu Iod's fate has been many disasters. Once, he carried two full buckets of clear water and walked as if flying. Unexpectedly, the shoulder pole was folded and the bucket behind it fell to the ground, causing the shoulder pole to fly from behind. It was also worth it, the shoulder pole head fell on the head of a pedestrian The pedestrian died on the spot. The dead person was the nephew of the fourth-rank prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture. This disaster was a big deal, and Liu Gong was almost scared to death. He caught up with my grandfather passing by and witnessed the whole process with his own eyes. "
" He comforted Liu Gong and said that this was a mistaken injury, not intentional killing, I can testify for you. Liu Gong thanked him deeply and said that since ancient times, officials have protected each other, but he never expected that the three provinces of Tongguan were the first to be the first to be the three provinces. The general was not biased towards the prefect, but was willing to contribute to a water-carrying man. My grandfather told Liu Gong that there was only one axiom in the world, and no matter what his identity was, he had to act according to justice. Later, with my grandfather's efforts, he fined Liu Qi 500 taels of silver and asked for a crime of consecration, so he could not die. "
" Liu Gong's family was poor, and the 500 taels of silver was paid by my grandfather, which made Liu Gong cry. When he was on the way, he kowtowed to my grandfather and said goodbye. My grandfather was very happy. He gave him another 200 taels of silver to make Liu Qi even more grateful. He said: The general's kindness is as heavy as a mountain, and the common people dare not thank him. This time he was exiled to the army, he may not come back. In order to repay the general's kindness, he is willing to give my ancestral treasure to you. Please do not refuse. At first, my grandfather thought it was jewelry and jade, and wanted to refuse. Later, when he saw him take out a book titled "The Luo Family Gun Book", he was shocked and asked about the reason for the book. "
Saihua was fascinated by the hearing and asked, "Husband, what kind of book is the Luo Family Gun Book?" "In the early Tang Dynasty, the famous general Luo Cheng 's gun technique was the best in the world, and many warriors wanted to learn guns from him. Because Luo Cheng was lonely, he refused. He had a concubine named Liu Jiao, who specialized in the confidential documents of the Luo Family Gun Book, and that "Luo Family Gun Book" was kept by Liu Jiao. Later, Luo Cheng died in the battle, and Liu Jiao brought the guns and returned to her parents' home."
" Her brother Liu Cheng is also a martial arts figure. Knowing that this gun chart is worth a lot, he collected it carefully and designated it as a heirloom treasure. Liu Gong, the water-carrying man, was the descendant of Liu Cheng. In order to repay his kindness, he gave this book to my grandfather. His grandfather knew in his heart: whoever gets this book and who can study it hard will become the world's first shot. So he gave Liu Gong another 3,000 taels of silver and bought the gun chart. Then, according to the instructions of the gun chart, he taught my father's gun skills. "
" My father is indeed smart and has a deep foundation. After more than ten years, he evolved the Luo family gun and gradually formed the Yang family gun , thus becoming a contemporary hero. You think, my father spent his whole life on shooting skills, and he used ordinary sword skills. Is this coaxing you?" "This... husband, I still have something unknown. Your Yang family gun Famous all over the world, it has long been recognized by the martial arts world. So, why did you abandon your ancestral property and learn from your sword? "
" asked reasonably." Jiye continued: "I have told you that the water-carrying man Liu has some foundation, and he himself has both civil and military. He fell into ruin just because he did not take the right path. Since he accidentally injured a person's life, he has changed his mind and regained his spirit. After the military expiration, he still has two thousand taels of silver left, so he bases on these silver as the foundation. Money, and I went to several business deals with others. It was probably time to go, and Liu Gong became rich soon. While doing business, he gathered his clan's nephews in Jinding Village, Taihang Mountain, to learn literature and martial arts, and recruit soldiers and horses. Among his many sons and nephews, two of them had great ambitions, one was his nephew Liu Zhiyuan, and the other was his cousin Liu Chong . "
" Liu Zhiyuan and Liu Chong, these two names are so familiar.""Everyone knows that Liu Zhiyuan was the founding emperor of the Later Han Dynasty. Liu Chong was the Marquis of Jinyang, and later became the founding emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty. "Ah?" Saihua was very surprised. "The rogue carries water, one family and two kings, who can believe it!" "When Liu Zhiyuan conquers the world, my grandfather had passed away. My father valued loyalty the most. In his opinion, he was full of gunfire and came from the Liu family. In order to repay his kindness, he helped Liu Zhiyuan. "
" Unexpectedly, Liu Zhiyuan was narrow-minded and could not tolerate others after he became emperor. My father had no choice but to find an excuse to resign from his official position and return to Huotang Village. Later, Emperor Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty invited him to come out, and the old man became the Marshal of the Northern Han Dynasty. Who knew that when they met Zhao Kuangyin , they had that "copper hammer exchanged for jade belt". The story of these things was told to me only when my father died. "
" After talking for a long time, I still don't understand. What does this have to do with your knife?" Saihua likes to ask the bottom of the question. "My father is honest and loyal. He believes that the Yang family gun comes from the Luo family gun, and the Luo family gun book is also given by the Liu family in the Northern Han Dynasty. Since there is a covenant of "for copper hammers and jade belts", I will protect Zhao Kuangyin. In the future, the Zhao family will have a bloody battle with the Liu family in the Northern Han Dynasty. Using the shooting skills given by the Liu family to kill the Liu family is a loss of loyalty and righteousness. Therefore, the old man made a decision to abandon the gun and learn from the sword, and could only use the sword to kill the Han general. You are not allowed to use a gun to pick Liu Shi!"
"Oh, my father-in-law is too loyal. "This is my Yang family style. "So, was your swordsmanship taught by my grandfather?" "That's another coincidence. "How come your family is caught up with me?" "Madam, don't make fun of me, listen to me tell a story first. As early as , the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, , one of the five hegemons, , Chu Zhuang King, , loved the Qianli Horse the most. He had sent many people to search everywhere, but he could not do it for three years. "
" Later, a man named Taikang took the initiative to ask for the battle and was willing to find a horse for the king. The king gave him three thousand taels of silver and found it within one year. Not far from Beijing, Taikang found several people eating horse meat and catching a fire with horse skeletons, and rice wine was hot on the fire. Taikang frowned and thought about it. He ran a few steps, grabbed a burnt horse bone, and started crying. Everyone was puzzled and asked for the reason. "
" Taikang cried and said: This is a thousand-mile horse, rare in the world, but unfortunately it died. I would like to pay a thousand taels of silver to buy back this horse bone. Everyone was surprised: A horse bone is worth a thousand gold, and a horse with a thousand miles of miles must be worth a lot! When the King of Chu learned about this, he couldn't help but feel furious. Taikang said: It won’t take long for the king to buy horse bones to be circulated in China. Who would not offer a thousand-mile horse to win fame and fortune? Within a year, no thousand-mile horse is allowed. I am willing to offer the heads. Sure enough, in just half a year, the King of Chu got three thousand-mile horses..."
"I have also heard of this allusion. What does it have to do with your practice of swordsmanship?" "My grandfather Yang Hui received a "Luo Family Gun Book" and gave Liu Gong three thousand taels of silver. This is like buying horse bones for a wealthy person, and it soon spread. So, there were endless people who sent various weapons to my Yang family, which made my grandfather almost unable to resist. These weapons collections are true and false, both rare copies of the Han and Tang dynasties and forged by later generations. It was sent by someone, but it could not be refused. Until my grandfather passed away, I collected all the broken books and spent most of my family's money. This action stopped after my grandfather passed away. My grandmother once said to me: If your grandfather lives for a few more years, our family will have to beg for food!"
Saihua laughed: "What happened later?" "My grandmother's family's surname is Huyan. When she passed away, her nephew and my cousin Huyan Shouting brought her son Huyanzan to celebrate her filial piety. My cousin is also a military general, nicknamed Dazhan. After the funeral, my father told my cousin about his plan to "abandon the gun and learn to kill the knife" and asked me to teach me how to sword skills. "I only then realized that your sword skills were taught by my cousin. "
" otherwise. My cousin said to my father: I am a normal knife. I will lose nine out of ten battles. If I hand over the child to me, it will be all delayed. Even my own son Hu Yanzan changed to a whip. If Jiye wants to learn swordsmanship, I can introduce him to someone. This man is an old Taoist, and he became a monk at the Sanyi Temple of Etou Peak in Taihang Mountain. His Tao is called Chenyuan and his real name is Guan Dali.It is said that he is a descendant of Guan Master Guan, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, and no one can verify the authenticity. "
" However, the immortal master Chenyuan has noble character and extraordinary sword skills. He and I are allied brothers, and their love is as deep as the sea. Once, when I was drunk, he showed me the secret "Guan Family Knife Book" and said that practicing swords according to the score will be invincible in the world. At that time, I wanted to give Hu Yanzan his apprentice. The Taoist priest thought that Hu Yanzan was not very talented, so he refused. Jiye’s talent is ten times higher than that of Zaner. If he can be worshipped by Master Chenyuan, I will be able to protect his future!”
“Then, have you become a little old Taoist?” Saihua asked knowingly. “Haha, you may not become a monk when you learn art. If I become a young Taoist, I will not be able to marry a wife!" Jiye laughed. Sai Huafeng's face turned red: "It's just nonsense, let's continue to talk about it!" "My father is very happy. In order to show respect, he personally led me and accompanied by Huyan's cousin, he came to Sanyiguan of Etou Peak. Although Master Chenyuan doesn’t know us, he also knows the reputation of the Yang family. "
" After several days of investigation, he agreed to accept me as his disciple. At the apprenticeship meeting, the Taoist priest drank a few more glasses of vegetarian wine. The older people would talk more, so he kept talking to the "Guan Family Knife Principle". What is said that this book of swords is a lonely book in China, and there is nowhere to be found except for the descendants of the Guan family. At that time, my cousin Hu Yanshouting also drank too much. He said to the Taoist priest: Although "The Book of Guan Family Swords" is rare, it may not be the only one. "
" Their old Yang family has a room of weapons collection, and maybe new discoveries will be made. The Taoist priest was competitive and asked my father to take him to check it out. My father had no choice but to lead them back to Huotang Village. Master Chenyuan has a unique vision. He has indeed made new discoveries in the pile of weapons. "Saihua was fascinated by hearing this: "Did you discover the second volume of "Guan Family Sword Book"?"
" No. There are two real books in that pile of weapons catalogs. One volume is the "Lian Family Sword Creation" left by Spring and Autumn Season Zhao Guo Marshal Lian Po ; the other volume is the "Ma Family Sword Creation" left by Eastern Han famous generals Ma Wu . Master Chenyuan discovered these two sword scores and was both excited and ashamed. Then he said to my father: There are people outside of others, and there is heaven beyond heaven. You can't say anything at any time. My Guan family only has one book of knife books, but your Yang family has two. I always have this volume, but you never boast about it. It seems that your Yang family is better than my Guan family!"
Saihua smiled and said, "This world is very jealous. "My father hurriedly said: Thanks to the Taoist priest's keen eyes to recognize the pearls, otherwise, the two treasure scrolls would be buried in the soil. Taoist Master Chenyuan was very happy. He said to my father again: Three volumes of swords have their own strengths. I am going to unify the three families of Lian, Ma and Guan, draw a new book, and name it "Yang Family Swords". "Saihua praised: "Good solution!"
Jiye shook his head: "No, no." My father believed that although the Lian and Ma Dao Tu were collected by the Yang family, it was discovered by the worldly affairs. How could the Yang family receive money without success? In addition, our Yang family is known for its big guns and it is a helpless thing to continue learning swords. His descendants and grandchildren must restore the Yang family's shooting skills. For this reason, the new book must not be called the word "Yang Family". Just call it "Golden Knife Note". "
Saihua nodded: "That's right, your Yang family gun has already been set. In the future, your son..." "Hahaha, we should say our sons!" "Go to you!" Saihua's face turned red. "Hmph, I think it's quite long-term!" "My father's sincere attitude touched Master Chenyuan very much. He devoted himself to the development of the "Golden Knife Note" and taught it carefully to me. After five years of learning swordsmanship, I finally failed to disgrace my father's order. "
" When he was starting his army, the Taoist priest gave me the treasure of the temple-the purple gold sword. He also said: The net weight of this big knife is 82 kilograms, which was made by Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi. Although you cannot cut gold and jade, you can still stand up and blow hair. With this sword, coupled with your character, martial arts, and military tactics, you can become famous all over the world! Just remember one sentence of my words: Your nature is too honest, and you will certainly not have the intention to harm others, and you must be wary of others. "
"This..." Saihua became worried. "Master Chenyuan's vision is not wrong, but who are you guarding against?" "Hahaha, Master just talks.There are so many bad people between heaven and earth? Besides, with the knife in my hand..." At this time, someone in the outer room spoke. She is Saihua's wet nurse, and she has some status in the She family, so you don't have to be polite: "Girl, my uncle, the couple are so kind to the bridal chamber. How can you guys have a knife and a gun? You guys have no heads to say? The chickens are almost screaming, so let's talk about it tomorrow!"
Jiye and Saihua smiled secretly and had to turn off the lights and go to bed. The beautiful scenery of the weather does not need to be detailed. The sun and the moon are like arrows. In the blink of an eye, it is a year. Although Yang Jiye is just a mere garrison, because he has extraordinary skills, his sword skills are out The people, and at the same time, are the son-in-law of the old marshal She Hongzhou, became the leader of Shetang Pass. Under his governance, Shetang Pass was rich in economy and calm in the hearts of the people. All the people praised his merits.
Amid the cheers, Miss She Saihua was the most interesting, and gave birth to two sons for Jiye for her first child. The twin brothers were very cute and loved by everyone. She was very happy to thank She Hongzhou. When the two children were full month old, they set up a banquet to have a big banquet for guests and friends. After drinking, the city gate officials ran into the Shuaihu Hall in a hurry. He hugged his wrists and hand, and his voice trembled: "Marcedes, the imperial edict is here!"
"Ah!" Everyone here, wine The emperor was awakened. The emperor's imperial edict was not easy, especially in Shetang Pass, north of the border. Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, only one "official edict" was issued. Is there something big in the court today? Old Marshal She hurriedly asked to remove the mat, change his official uniform, lead the generals, and go out of the city to receive the edict. I saw that the imperial envoy was not very old, and he was only in his thirties. From the perspective of clothing, it was not a trivial matter. He wore a three-mountain crown and was inlaid with beautiful jade in the door. He wore an apricot yellow robe and a jade belt with a waist. According to the rules, at least the prince could wear this set of clothes.
She Hongzhou thought to himself: I have heard of the three princes in the court. The first one was King Chai, Hou Zhou The orphan of the emperor, it is said that he was very young and demoted to Yunnan by the emperor. The second one is Dongping King Gao Huaide, the emperor's brother-in-law, is said to be in his forties. It seems that the prince in front of him is in his thirties, and he is definitely not Xiao Chai King or Lao Gao King. Then, he must be King Zheng. After Zheng Ziming was beheaded, Zheng Yin inherited the King of Runan. It is said that he is young and righteous.
What did he do? At this time, he had no time to think about it and went up to pay homage; "My minister She Hongzhou came late, please forgive him for his crimes for a thousand years. "She Hongzhou is not young and has rich social experience. Logically speaking, he has never seen the three princes of the dynasty, and should not have called him "Zheng King". There is a reason here. First, he has been given a full moon for his two grandsons. The old marshal drank too much wine, and he was still a little confused at this time; second, the imperial envoy was too sudden, and the old marshal was nervous and did not care about thinking deeply. The word "Zheng King" blurted out. After saying that, he felt regretful: If he were not Zheng, this meeting ceremony would be too embarrassing!
The imperial envoy was stunned. First, he frowned tightly, then a little happy, and said with a smile: "Master She, come to the city to listen to the order. ""Affect the order." "She Hongzhou was uneasy and led the imperial envoy to take the Shuaihu Hall. He ordered people to set up the incense table and kneel down to wait for the imperial edict. The imperial envoy read out: "In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor's edict said: Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the world has been peaceful and the people have been peaceful. Only the generals on the border worked hard and made great achievements. Now the special commissioner Wang Zhao Guangyi is an imperial envoy, inspecting the borders on my behalf and rewarding the generals. I hope that all the generals will be loyal to their duties and will not forget the emperor's grace. I'm sorry!"
This imperial edict is ordinary and is passed on to the generals of each pass. It only contains the meaning of comfort, which is not very important. But after hearing this, Marshal She trembled all over and sweated profusely. He said in his heart: Oh no, this imperial envoy is the King of Xiang, but I called him "King Zheng". Is the prince's seal of a random misname? It's too small to say that it's not respectful enough, and it's too big to say that it's a loss of national . It seems that the charge is determined. Thinking of this, he kneels down and cannot raise up: "The prince is a thousand years old, I forgive me for being punished for 1000 deaths, and I call him the prince's ban..."
"Please get up, please get up, I won't blame anyone who doesn't know. "Ziang Zheng Wang Zhao Guangyi was easy-going. "Hahaha, Marshal She, I will not only be guilty of this auspicious statement, but may also make contributions in the future!" This sentence made She Hongzhou inexplicable. The audience will say: Not only She Hongzhou is inexplicable, but we are also inexplicable.The book explains: Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of Song Dynasty, had three brothers. Zhao Kuangyin's second brother, Zhao Kuangyi, and the third brother, Zhao Kuangmei, and also had a younger sister, Zhao Meirong, who married Gao Huaide, a famous contemporary military general.
Zhao family’s ancestral home Zhuozhou , and has been in ranks for generations. It is said that as early as the early years of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the world was in a melee and the country had no peace. Their father, Zhao Hongyin, joined the army, and after one or two years, there was no news. In order to avoid the disaster, his mother, Du, led her ten-year-old eldest son Zhao Kuangyin, and hugged her second son Zhao Kuangyi, who had just passed one year old, and searched for her husband for thousands of miles. At that time, the third son Zhao Kuangmei and the girl Zhao Meirong had not yet been born. The mother and son walked from Zhuozhou to Shaanxi and begged at the foot of Mount Hua. At that time, there were many people fleeing, and everyone complained about the troubled times, hoping that Allah would calm the world.
There is a large temple at the foot of Mount Hua, called "chess and boards". The temple owner calls himself "chessboard Taoist", and his real name is Chen Tuan . The mountain people called him "Old Ancestor Chen Tuan". This "ancestor" loves to do good deeds. He cooked the miscellaneous grains in the temple in a pot, opened a large porridge shed, and gave alms to the victims who fled. When Mrs. Du led her two sons to ask for porridge, the "Old Ancestor" laughed: "Okay, okay, who said there is no God in the world? Two dragons born to one mother!"
self-evident, these "two dragons" naturally imply two generations of emperors. The above legend must have been fabricated. Where is the source? It cannot be found. There are probably two possibilities. First, the person who made up this story must be a confidant of the Zhao family, who created public opinion for his master to seize the country. Second, the person who made up this story may be Zhao Kuangyi’s adviser. Because Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne for several years, he still had no prince. Many powerful and powerful nobles are coveting the throne. Zhao Kuangyi made up this story, which naturally "takes brother to follow his brother."
If someone objectes, you can use "God's will" to make excuses. In short, no matter where the source comes from, the saying "two dragons born by a mother" was widely circulated at that time. Emperors of all dynasties paid the most attention to the throne and were always guarding against usurpation by others. Not to mention the foolish monarch, even the heroes like Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin had a "Xuanwu Gate Incident" that killed their brothers and sisters for the throne. Of course, Zhao Kuangyin is no exception.
He was very taboo about "two dragons". At the beginning of his ascension, although he did not start a killing act, he passed on an imperial edict: his second brother changed his name to Zhao Guangyi, and his third brother changed his name to Zhao Guangmei, and he was not allowed to use the same word "kuang" as himself. On the surface, this is called " avoiding the holy taboo ", and I want to destroy the "feng shui" of my two younger brothers. In addition, according to the royal system, Mitsui and Mitsumi should have been granted the title of princes and had a status above the kings. However, Zhao Kuangyin pretended to be confused and refused to seal it for a long time.
It was not until the minister submitted a memorial and the empress dowager asked that he was helpless and appointed his second brother, Guangyi, as King Xiangli, and the third brother, Guangmei, as King Zanli. In feudal society, there was a big difference between kings. The smaller the number of words, the higher the status. For example, King Ping of Xihai and King Huai of Jingdong, commonly known as the "Three Character King", are often granted to foreigners, which is just an honorary title and has no real power. Then there are the King of Dongping and King Runan in the court, commonly known as the "King of Two Characters". They are both royal relatives, and have great contributions and a higher status than the "King of Three Characters".
goes upwards and is the "one-character king" with the highest status. For example, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu, , called "King of Chu", , Western Han Dynasty, , Liu Bang, called "King of Han, , Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao, , called "King of Wei, , and Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, was called "King of Qin". These people later became emperors. "One-character King" has very few people and is powerful. It is commonly known as " One-character King ", and can be on par with the emperor. In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were only two characters, but no characters. Guangyi and Guangmei do not have the luxury of "one-character king". But the fault came from this account.
And the king's title has been completed, all officials congratulate you. King Zanli Zhao Guangmei was also very happy when she returned to the palace. In the evening, King Xiangli Zhao Guangyi visited the mansion and looked very dim. Guangmei was puzzled: "Second brother, you and I have finally been named king. We should be glad. I look displeased when I see you." "Third brother, is this king really worthy of happiness?" "Ah? I don't know what to say?" "Hehe, our elder brother has long forgotten his brotherhood since he became the emperor. He and our brother are also attracted by their sarcasm."
"I am even more confused, please let me make it clear."We are the two-character king, and we don't choose his reason." But how to explain the title? Literally speaking, I am the manager, and you are the manager. The meaning of help is to help; the meaning of praise is to help. OK, no one is the official prince. Playing this trick can only deceive the three-year-old child, and the civil and military officials in the court are secretly discussing. Third brother, what does it mean to be a prince like us in front of us?"
Zhao Guangmei is not as scheming as her second brother, but her temper is more irritable than her second brother. He slapped the table: "Hmph! So that's it. I will go to me tomorrow morning to ask him to see how he answered correctly. Hehe, if you don’t have a real title, we won’t protect him anymore!” “Third brother, let it bear it. How about Zheng Ziming? In terms of martial arts, military merits, friendships, and identity, they are not inferior to us. They are not as good as we say they are killed, let alone you and me?" "We are his brothers!
"You have too little studies, and anyone who is the emperor never talks about family affection. There are too many emperors who have killed their fathers and brothers in history!" "This... how can you swallow this? Well, I might as well quit the king of Zanli and be a commoner." "It's even more inappropriate. In that case, he will know that you are loyal and may be ruthless." "You, what do you think you will do?" Zhao Guangmei was in chaos.
Although Zhao Guangyi is young, he is very cunning. He lowered his voice: "Third brother, there is a legend of 'two dragons' in the world. You must have heard of it long ago?" Zhao Guangmei was scared and sweated: "Second, second brother, do you want to be greedy for the country?" "Father passed on to sons, and the whole family is in the world. If the eldest brother has a prince, we will not fight. Unfortunately, the eldest brother does not have Zong Tao. If the Zhao family's country does not belong to you and me, can we still give it to others?"
"Why, why did you mess up me too!" Zhao Guangmei was a little more honest than the second brother. He was a little scared of such a big thing. Zhao Guangyi smiled slightly: "Brother is not kind to us, so we will be unrighteous to him. What is the "two dragons"? It should be "three dragons"! The country and the country, our brother takes turns to sit in three turns. Third brother, you have to be patient now. When the time is right, I will be the emperor first. You will be the king. After I die, the country will be yours!"
"But, but our prince's sister-in-law is pregnant. If she gives birth to the prince..." "Don't worry about those things for now, the matter is due to humans, and you and my brothers must make some preparations." "What are you preparing?" "You want to There are too many things to do. The most important thing is the hearts of the people. When I become emperor in the future, the civil and military ministers must first support us. In addition, they must also master several good generals. I conducted an open and secret investigation in the capital and found that Princess Kangping's adopted son Pan Renmei is very talented..."
"Second, second brother, it seems that you have this scruple." Zhao Guangyi was a little embarrassed: "No, how can I say that? I was the king after I was crowned king, so I had some ideas." In fact, Zhao Guangyi was very ambitious. He had coveted the throne for a long time, but he was alone and could not achieve great things. Only then did he win over his third brother and work together to build a country. As for the "three dragons", it is entirely a means to seek the support of my third brother.
The throne is too attractive, and Zhao Guangmei was confused by the "three dragons" and turned toward: "Second brother, what do you want me to do?" "I have almost contacted the talents in Kyoto. I will give this group of people to you, and you must consolidate your achievements." As she said that, she took out a list from her sleeve and handed it to the Three Kings. The three kings were puzzled: "Second brother, you..." "The emperor is now very talented and wise. While governing the capital, he does not forget the border. Yesterday evening, he told me to enter the palace and asked me to represent the royal family to comfort the soldiers. The opportunity is rare. I plan to work on the surface for him, but secretly select the direct line for us. Let those who have a skill belong to your and me. Third brother, this matter is very confidential, don't spread it outside."
"I understand, I understand." The three kings agreed repeatedly. Zhao Guangyi was very enthusiastic about patrolling the border. He took the initiative to enter the palace to ask for instructions: "Your Majesty, I wonder when I will leave?" "As long as you are ready, you can set off." Zhao Kuangyin hesitated for a moment, "Second brother, I have something to entrust you to do. There is a sixth-rank garrison in Shetangguan, and his father is Yang Gun. He had an alliance with me in the 'Bronze Hammer for Jade Belt'. This time you saw Yang Jiye in Shetangguan, and took back my jade belt. Humph, so he didn't take a chicken feather as an arrow!"
"Abide by the order." Zhao Guangyi also hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty, many people know about the 'Bronze Hammer for Jade Belt'.If you... you are afraid of breaking the contract, you are afraid of..." "What are you afraid of? I was rushing to Yang Gun in the past. Yang Gun is the tiger's father, but Yang Jiye is the dog's son!" "Yes... Your Majesty, I'm brave. Your Majesty has never seen Yang Jiye before. Where must this be the reason?"
" Don't ask more questions. "The news from Zhao Kuangyin came from Jingniang. Because he had such a special friendship with Jingniang, he became disgusted with Yang Jiye invisibly. When the emperor's side-listening "old lover" made a report, he could not put it on the table. For this reason, Zhao Kuangyin was unwilling to say more. "My minister, just do it." "Zhao Guangyi said: OK, I have to focus on Yang Jiye to see if he has real skills. If you have real skills, you abandon him, and I will win him over and use him to become my direct general.
This is what he said in his heart, and he can't put it on the stage. In this way, Zhao Guangyi left Kyoto and did not go anywhere else. He went straight to Shetang Pass for the first time. Because he was young and was a new prince, the officials outside the curtain were not familiar with him. Old Marshal She was drunk He was dissatisfied and called him "King Zheng". Zhao Guangyi was dissatisfied at first, but later he was very happy. Why? It turned out that the "King Xiangli"'s title implied "assistance" and was not considered a genuine product. But Old Marshal She called him "King Zheng", and Zheng was homophoned by Zheng and Zheng, and Zhao Guangyi felt that this was a happy sign.
became the "King Zheng" at the first stop of the capital, and this was definitely not a false journey. So he said: "I borrow your auspicious words and may make contributions in the future. "This secret pen is ready, and the book is back to the original story below. However, although the old marshal She Hongzhou was inexplicably confused, he did not dare to ask more questions. He just smiled and said, "Your Majesty Qiansui, I don't know what instructions you have, please tell me." "Master She, I first came to Shetang Pass. Hehe, your Shetang Pass is not strict!" "Ah?" She Hongzhou's face looked like earth!
