The Snowy Path of the Heroic Blade Chapter 140: The world is moving, New Year’s Eve (middle)

Xiangzhou, on the border of Guangling Road and Nanjiang Road, is famous for a long-old Xingzi Alley. Both sides of this alley are Jiangnan courtyards. Although not grand but exquisite, the residents are not High-ranking officials, but some literati who did not participate in Hong Jia’s north rush, including the retired Xichu survivors, and the discouraged gentlemen of Shangyin Academy. When these scholars settled down, they were really in short supply and could not build. What a big house. , ybdu, Fan’s mansion is in the farthest part of Xingzi Lane. The Fan family was once a powerful ruler of the wealthy and enemy of the Southern Tang Dynasty. The Fan family’s ancestors did not want treasures when they separated before fleeing, but only wanted it. The most difficult-to-carry collection of books on a whole building has been stretched for more than two decades. If it weren't for selling the ancient books in the new building, it would have fallen into a state of inability to open the pot. Liyang is prosperous, the fortune of the country is prosperous, and the fortune of chess is also prosperous. Fortunately, after Fan's family came out of a chess fanatic Fan Chang who didn't love fame, he and Wu Congxian, the new branch of the Liyang court, called it "Shuang Nine". The two of them were less than 30 years old, and they were invincible all over the south of the Guangling River. Wu Congxian, especially Tanhua Lang who later became one of the eight masters of the capital, was appointed by His Majesty the Emperor to fight with the four great power players of Liyang Chess and Chaos. Fan Chang, who was slightly better, became the faint No. 1 player in the Liyang chess world, and was newly awarded the "Fan Shidan" reputation. Xingzi Alley where Fan Changhou lived was bustling with chariots and horses for a while, but the chess idiot kept thanking guests behind closed doors. Fan Changhou, who was "gentle-talking and generous and upright" on the chessboard, seemed particularly repellent in life.

Fan's collection of books is in the two pavilions of "Kanxin" and "Qing forgiveness". Among them, Qiushu pavilion has three floors of hard mountain tops, six rooms in depth, front and back corridors, and a square patio in front of the building, covering an area of ​​3 acres. , Paving the ground with blue bricks, without a weed, it is used for publishing books in summer. Not long ago, Fan Chang, who had just become the head of the Fan family, laid down several strict book collection rules. Among them, no generation can leave the pavilion. Women with a foreign surname and their own surname are not allowed to enter the pavilion.

Today is a warm winter weather, suitable for reading books to get rid of mildew and dampness. An elegant-looking man in a green shirt took a handful of imprinted copies out of the attic and spread them out on the green brick floor of the patio in front of Qiushu Pavilion. Personally, and did not let the servants do it for them. A young girl with her cheeks flushed by the sun squatted on the ground and opened the books casually. She frowned instead of reading with relish. Glancing at her back, the man smiled, stretched his waist, and caught a glimpse of a huge figure sitting on the steps where sunlight and shadow intersect at the edge of the patio, silent. The man's joyful mood floated with a haze. The way the burly giant visited Fan's family was extremely shocking. He did not submit a famous post or knock on the door. Instead, he fell from the sky and smashed into the pond in the Fan's backyard. At that time, Fan Changhou was playing chess with others, and was caught in a long and exhausting trial. The opponent asked him to bring the visitor. Fan Changhou told the people in the house who heard the noise to keep quiet, and then this burly guy who was like a heavenly **** Inseparable from the old one, and never speak.

It was the man from Fan Shiduan, who came next to the old man. The old man sat on a small bench with a golden nanmu chessboard placed in front of him. There was a small cup of white salt on hand and a crispy plate. White radish, a bowl of white rice. After the burly and golden-skinned guest appeared, the old man played the remnant game in front of him, and then he didn't make a move and said nothing. Unless it was the young girl talking to the old man, even if it was Fan Changhou, the old man would not bother to take care of it. Fan Changhou was standing behind the old man at this time, facing the established bureaucratic game, he was full of suspicion. The black and white chess pieces were intertwined. From a point of view, this game of chess is far from worthy of the old man's treatment.

We must know that in the eyes of the world, Fan Changhou is self-taught without a teacher, and the material is generally recognized as dull. In terms of talent, he is a thousand miles away from the young Wu Congxian who became famous. It only depends on tenacity to achieve a late birth. In the past few years, he was finally able to compete with Wu Congxian. But of course Fan Changhou has a master, and he is also a Huanglongshi who is the best in the Spring and Autumn Period. If not, his "late bloomer" will definitely be another twenty years later. Today’s game of Go is the highest in nine dans. The top players in the chess waiting for the emperor are undoubtedly strong nines. There are also some experts in the country who have the strength of ninth dans, but they may not be considered as “strong players”. "", and Xu Weixiong, the famous Beiliang princess who went to the Yin Academy to study, has the saying "Xu Shi and Thirteen". Xu Shi said that this woman's strength far exceeds the 9th dan master, and she is a well-deserved top 10 national player. Xu Shisan said that she can often play thirteen pieces of ordinary and unpredictable skills. Therefore, she is considered to be the same master of Go as the official of Xichu Cao. Fan Chang later admitted that she could barely play the title of Fan Shidan, but she was right. Shang Xu Weixiong and Cao Changqing are much worse, there is a huge distance of one son. As for the master in front of him, hey, this surprise master and apprentice reunite, and the teacher gave him the two sons, and Fan Changhou is still the same. All ten battles are defeated.

The old man stared at the chess game, grabbed a pinch of salt and sprinkled it on the radish, and asked: "Yuetian, remember what I said when I played the first game with you?"

Fan Changhou, the Buddha of the Ziyuetian issue, replied respectfully: "Master said two words, one is that the real skill is outside the chess, and the other is that no matter how good the chess is, it will be the same. There is a world of difference between chess and being a human being."

The first demon of the Spring and Autumn Period, Huang Longshi, snorted, chewing on the light and salty radish, "So I not only teach you to play chess, but also ask you not to delay learning. Now Wu Congxian has become famous in Beijing. You don’t fight for anything, but you are more famous than Wu Congxian. In the future, Liyang court will have your place no matter who sits on the dragon chair, Zhao or surname."

Fan Changhou asked softly: "Why did the master want me to befriend His Royal Highness Wang Shizi? Was it disappointed because the emperor killed Zhang Julu?"

Huang Longshi smiled and asked: "Yuetian, don't you think Biyaner shouldn't be killed?"

Fan Changhou didn't dare to fool around with his master, and frankly said: "Even if the emperor wants to pave the way for Prince Zhao Zhuan, killing Zhang Julu alone is enough to punish the nine tribes, the fire will pass."

Huang Longshi smiled, "Let's not talk about the size of the fire, let's talk about why Biyan'er is a mortal situation."

Fan Changhou walked to the opposite side of the chess game, sat in front of his face, and said in a deep voice: "The first assistant Zhang Julu opened up the dragon gate for the poor children of the imperial examination, and the Yonghui Gongqing under the gate appeared Yin Maochun and Zhao Youling, not only capable ministers, but also Under the protection of Zhang Julu, he was able to immerse himself in officialdom in the temple for many years, and he became more and more familiar with the emperor’s mind and court rules. He not only knew how to protect himself wisely, but also knew how to maintain his power while earning a reputation in history. These courtiers, Compared with the "loyal ministers" who are willing to die in the Spring and Autumn Period, they are different. Even if the king and the ministers die, the ministers can not die, and they are not willing to commit suicide. Since then, the poor and the most important ministers will continue to emerge from the market since they were born in the market. , The family property accumulated for decades is lost and then lost. At certain moments, it is not like a deep-rooted family member, but more willing to chop. Zhang Julu is the creator of the Spring of Yonghui, and he is also a man of the dynasty. The initiator of Zihuang, this is a death."

Huang Longshi grabbed a handful of white rice and stuffed it into his mouth, smiling slowly: "It's not enough."

"Prince Zhao Zhuan is going to ascend the throne. Not surprisingly, he will be a peaceful and prosperous emperor with no military merits, but if there is Zhang Julu in the court and Gu Jiantang in Wu, the new emperor Zhao Zhuan will be extremely difficult to convince the public. He continued to "try to respond" to Lord Shoufu, Jin Lanting’s impeachment, General Yang Shenxing re-experienced the old affairs of the Zhonglie Han family in Jizhou, exceptionally promoted Cheshire King’s son-in-law Chen Wang, and summoned Qi Yanglong to enter Beijing. Enabling Zhongshu Province to fight against Shangshu Province. Many methods have been pressing the first assistant step by step. Zhang Julu seems to choose to retreat step by step from beginning to end, ousting Zhang Lu’s forces by himself, and abandoning Zhao Youling and Yin Maochun one after another. Bai Guo, only Wang Xionggui, who is recognized as the most lacking in auxiliary equipment, remains,

Even after Wang Xionggui, who was the last pillar of Zhang Lu, was demoted to the Guangling Road Administrator and left the capital, Zhang Julu remained silent. "

Fan Changhou paused when he said this, "However, as long as Zhang Julu does not die, even if he "takes the blame" and resigns, this civilian leader returns to his hometown to live in the mountains and forests after losing his official position, so he was originally used to fight against Zhang Julu. As an excessively large ritual wine, Qi Yanglong will be embarrassing, and how old is Zhang Julu and how old is Qi Yanglong? When the world is in trouble, Zhang Julu, who is not in the temple but in the rivers and lakes, will have the opportunity to become popular. The savior of the world. Today, the disparity between Zhang Julu and Qi Yanglong’s treatment, and their status in the hearts of the people, will happen to be reversed at that time. How could His Majesty not understand the truth and leave the prince a mess? If so. This is the only argument, without the first death of Zhang Julu that I mentioned earlier, it can also be used as a check and balance technique for the king to control his subjects, but since the future will be a dynasty without wars, and there will be more and more talents in the dynasty, the emperor’s auspicious talisman. The Spring is not worse than Zhang Julu’s Yonghui Spring. Why does the Zhao family want to keep you Zhang Julu?!"

Huang Longshi nodded, "Zhang Julu has been giving charcoal in the snow in the past twenty years, and cannot be killed. In the future, he can only do some icing on the cake. The tail will not fall off, and it can be killed earlier. This is also considered a death. Two deaths, you continue to say ."

Fan Changhou is obviously well-informed, and he has finished the draft that has been conclusive. There is no stagnant thinking, and he whispered, "The previous two deaths are the funeral things that I have to consider today. At this time, Liang Mang fights and settles. Guangling is an imminent thing. Zhang Julu made enemies on all sides during his lifetime, among which the three mortal enemies were the royal nobles, the clan officials, and the local military generals. These three have been suffocating the horrible anger against the Shoufu master. The royal clan has been over the past 20 years. In the bitter days of the mice, I originally thought that the first emperor of the Liyang Zhao family ruled the world. They are all heroes and people of the surname Zhao. Of course, they can share the emperor with the emperor. Unexpectedly, Xu Xiao and Zhang Julu were divided into two people. After all the credit is gone, how can you endure it? With Zhang Julu standing in the temple for a day, how can the ministers of the family status have a day of success? The more selfless Zhang Julu is, the harder it is for this group of people to seek benefits for the family. At that time, Zhang Julu It is necessary to resolutely manage the three matters of subordinate staff, salt administration, and water transport. The old Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry does not hesitate to provoke the head and auxiliary adults to stand up for others. Who is the first time for Lao Shangshu? Naturally, it is for this large family of families. Civil servants dominated the locality. The battle between civil and military affairs is a practice in the past dynasties. Zhang Julu can use his wrist to calm the party and government arrogance. All become pieces of impaired strength, and those generals who hold the military power are also intolerable. The emperor kills the wicked Zhang Julu, causing the three forces to breathe a sigh of evil. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Afterwards, the new emperor will come to appease everyone and it will be three birds with one stone."

Huang Longshi's face calmly said: "This is also a death. But there is one thing you didn't point to. The point of this death is that if Zhang Julu is dismissed at the peak of his power, then Zhang Julu's three mortal enemies who have been grieving for a long time will be in the chest. Most of the bad breath is exhaled. The breath is easy to come out and it is difficult to get together. If they want to fight with this blue eye in the future, it will be difficult for them to have the determination to never die. With this mentality, it is even The new emperor supports them, and he will certainly divide and rule like Zhang Julu casually destroying the Qing Party."

Fan Changhou said solemnly: "Apprentices are taught!"

Huang Longshi stretched out his hand to grab the few radishes left, glanced at the apprentice who won the title of Buddha in the chess world, and asked, "That’s all there? That’s more expensive than your little apprentice in Xiangfan City. It’s too much."

Fan Changhou smiled and said: "Zhang Julu didn't form a party and broke his wings. He also deliberately parted ways with Tan Tan Weng, who helped the most, and completely became a widow. If that weren't the case, how could those ignorant scholars have the courage to throw at Zhang Julu's door? The crime book, come to get fame? This scene is exactly the same as that of a scholar who was a scholar who had to curse Tu Xuxiao. If Huan Wen stood firmly by the side of the first auxiliary, let alone their enthusiasm. Scholars, even Jin Saburo did not have this courage. Zhang Julu, without Huan Wen, died again."

Huang Longshi was noncommittal, but just changed the topic, squinted his eyes and looked at the salt and the bowl of rice, and said with a smile: "There are many anecdotes about celebrities. These anecdotes that have been passed down to the public and the public are like the salt of scholars. Just eat rice. It's boring, I can't die, but I just lack the spirit. Earlier, I lived in a corner of Liyang, where the literati was bullied by the martial artist all day long. Naturally, there is no big anecdote. Biyan's is really amazing. In just one eternal emblem, there was Hanlin Academy on duty Huangmen Lang drunk and slept, the emperor personally clothed it for him, and even Tantan Weng was forbidden to warm up a pot of wine to discuss the world. So, ah, although the world scholars knees It was still bent, but the waist rod finally straightened up."

Fan Changhou looked up at the books that were spilt in the sun, and said with emotion: "The memory of the mourning dog in my childhood is still fresh. The military commanders stationed at the checkpoint only recognize gold and silver, and make trouble everywhere. Well, what makes me most uncomfortable is that they used their spears to provoke the bookcases, and the boxes full of rare books that are the root of life for reading are scattered all over the ground and trampled on wanton. I think a world where books can safely bask in the sun is our scholars. It’s a good world."

After Fan Changhou sighed, he took a deep breath and said: "Zhang Julu's imperial examination cheated, the eldest son embezzled the fertile land, the local family and the people took advantage, the evidence was conclusive..."

Speaking of this, Fan Changhou smiled bitterly: "It's really funny'criminal evidence', the latter two should be true, but if Zhang Julu leaked the exam questions, I'm afraid everyone would think it is absurd. No matter what the truth is, plus The Han family tragedy that implicated the old Shoufu is another death."

Fan Changhou clenched his fists on his knees, faintly angry, “That’s all, there is the crime of fornicating with the frontier army among the ten deadly sins. Who do you want to commit for? , That is the outline of the country set by the first emperor, why is Zhang Julu guilty?"

Huang Longshi shook his head and said: "This crime is the most obscure, you guessed it wrong, this one is not Gu Jiantang, it is referring to Beiliang. Of course, there are also hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the northern border who beat Gu Jiantang behind him by the way. Meaning. After Zhang Julu came to power, it seemed that he was trying his best to suppress the Xu family in Beiliang, but in fact it was a phenomenon on the outside and inside. The benefits of Beiliang Border Pass had not diminished. Replaced by someone else as the first assistant, the imperial court might be smoky. , But at least Beiliang will be more uncomfortable. This is the price of Zhang Julu's loss of the relationship between the emperor and his ministers in exchange for a hidden security for the northwest of the dynasty. This, of course, is a death."

Fan Changhou was stunned, and then stood up, facing the north and made a heavy click.

Huang Longshi sneered: "Is it more and more that Biyan's shouldn't die? Don’t look at the downfall of the head and auxiliary adults, secretly clapping hands and cheering, in fact, the real discerning person, especially the heart-hearted like you The scholars who think that “people are the most important for the emperor are for the dearth” are all gritted their teeth. Do you think everyone was scolding Xu Lap at that time, so everyone was really hating Beiliang? Biyan'er, Tan Tan Wong, Gu Jiantang, Yan Zhenchun, Lu Baijie, Lu Shengxiang, and Xu Gong, and so on, are really only hateful but insincerely admired? You know that at that time Xu Xiao took Beiliang to ride a horse and ride south, and led to the border to intercept Xu Fengnian’s Gu Jiantang’s lineal general Cai Nan, A total of 60,000 horses, facing the old lame, let alone a battle, and knelt down directly convinced, only said a lot of soldiers clearly heard in their ears, "Final will see the King of Northern Liang" ', not only was he, the great general Cai Nan, who was highly hoped by the court to compress the living space of Beiliang, but the sixty thousand Jiashi all had the same mind and regarded seeing the great general Xu Xiao from a distance as a great honor in his life. As a result, In the end, Xu Xiao replaced Gu Jiantang to patrol the Gu family's iron cavalry. The temple officials said in private that they were angry, but the warriors and soldiers all over Liyang didn't feel embarrassed. Xu Xiao was so domineering and domineering, and he deserved it. Yes, Zhang Julu has a scholar like you silently remembered in his heart, and it is also what Biyaner deserves. So this is Biyan's death again!"

Huang Longshi with no expression on his face twisted a chess piece from the chess box, and whispered: "Prince Zhao Zhuan has no affection for this first supplementary element. He has tried to marry Zhang Julu's youngest son, Zhang Bianguan, to no avail. Raising a general in troubled times, Regarding the world, this person is destined to be a literati emperor, but in order to balance the civil and military affairs, it is necessary to continue the chess game that the first emperor Zhao Dun left behind the three provinces of Shangshumen under Zhongshu. There will be more cabinet ministers than the current one, but the literati leader must not take it. Yes. Zhao Zhuan wants to sit firmly on the dragon chair, and Zhang Julu is dead again."

"Zhang Julu sees things farther than everyone else. He used self-defilement to lead to ruin, and he did not leave a way out, to alert future generations. Biyaner is very clear that the pattern of literati ruling the country will be formed in the future. Civil ministers repeatedly mentioned. Since the first year of Yonghui, Shangshu Province has been dominant. Not to mention the six Shangshu, none of the servants have been decapitated. If the current momentum is followed, it will be more difficult to die of the "literati" after Liyang. The signs of one thing are very interesting, that is, the greed of the nobles of the clan and the sons of the tycoons. They are more or less careful about eating, but the civil servants who are born in the cold, shake off the mud on their bodies, they will be more faceless and skinless, and the methods will be more concealed. Biyan'er obviously knew this well, so this death was his own desire. But in my opinion, the death of a chief assistant is really not very useful for the future generations of "the world is going down." "

"But because of this, the death of Zhang Julu made me admire Huang Longshi the most."

"The emperor Zhao Dun wanted him to die, and Zhang Julu was willing to die, yet another death. This death is the most helpless of scholars and emperors, but it is also the most romantic of scholars with a clear conscience."

Huang Longshi, who has never fallen on the board with two fingers, no longer speaks. The salt, rice and radish have already been eaten thoroughly.

Fan Changhou whispered: "Nine of Zhang Julu died."

Huang Longshi looked down at the chess game and asked with a smile: "It is said that nine deaths are alive, do you think there is still a glimmer of life for Biyan'er?"

Fan Changhou shook his head and said: "Everyone wants him to die, but he doesn't want to live, how can he live?"

Huang Longshi knocked the white chess on the northeast board and re-aligned it. Fan Changhou was amazed. Master played against himself, and he has always fallen like flying, not to mention deliberately straightening the set. The position of the pawn. Because Huang Longshi said that a child takes root and that things have never been so merciless in the world. Even if there is an eternal pill in the world, there is no way to regret medicine. This made Fan Changhou, who had lost his interest in the chess game, regained curiosity. When he looked carefully, Huang Longshi bent down and reached out to grab a black chess from the chess box and looked at it. On the west side of the chessboard, the **** holding the chess piece drew a circle there, and said calmly: "Before you saw that I set up this chess game in one go. Don't look at this place as if the battle is in full swing. Power, but it’s actually ridiculous, and it’s probably irrelevant to the overall situation."

Fan Changhou, who was sitting face to face with Huang Longshi, jumped in his heart, overlooking the chess game, and asked one after another: "Is the Liyang Beimang confrontation game?! This is Beiliang? Beiliang has 300,000 cavalry, how could it be irrelevant? The overall situation? Master, I really can’t figure it out, can I help the disciple to solve the puzzles?"

Huang Longshi threw the black chess back into the chess box, and said with a smile: "How can you guess the next step of the Beimang Taiping Decree as a Fan Shidan? Don't bother your brains, you can't figure it out for a hundred years. Yes. You can have your skill in chess, it's almost okay. Later, I will think about how to win fame in the new dynasty game. The higher the chess power, the more imaginary you are."

Fan Changhou carefully glanced at his master.

Huang Longshi smiled and said: "It's you ordinary people, the master and the Beimang Emperor are not among them."

Fan Changhou asked: "Naxi Chu and Cao Changqing?"

Huang Longshi smiled and said: "Half and half. Knowing the impossible, he is a fool. Cao Changqing spent the rest of his life fighting for a breath, meaningless."

There was a loud sound from a distance.

Seems to be laughing at the old man, who is bragging and pointing to the world. Huang Longshi is a little embarrassed. When Fan Changhou sees his master deflated, he wants to laugh but dare not laugh.

Huang Longshi stood up, walked to the little girl who was still reading the book there, rubbed her head, and sighed distressedly: "Girl, don't trouble that bronze man anymore, you can't kill Dropped."

The old man picked up a book and walked towards the Beimang bronze master who was thrown by Qi Xuanjia to this place and sat down, but was quickly squeezed between the two by the girl Hehe, Huang Longshi had to go He moved his **** on the side, put his palm on the book, feeling the warmth of the sun, and said: "When I was young, I visited Qi Xuanjia on the Demon Slayer, and the great real man said something and wrote a book by himself. Qingfeng flippers read the book. I, Huang Longshi, didn’t believe it and didn’t agree to it. Otherwise, I would have gone for nothing."

Master Tongren didn't say a word.

Huang Longshi turned his head and asked: "How long is there?"

The Bronze Master Master still looked forward with no gods in his eyes.

The courtyard of Qiushu Pavilion is silent again.

Day after day, the whole world finally knows that Zhang Julu, the first assistant of the dynasty, died and died in prison.

At that time, people in the world remembered a damned but immortal old bastard, who seemed to have given him an unlucky word long ago to the then surging master.

"Sad New Year's Eve".

At that time, all the talents suddenly realized, as if all the assertions of the big devil Huang Sanjia had been fulfilled one by one.

On New Year's Eve, the month is exhausted, so it is connected to the end of the New Year.

The old year will be removed, and the new year will be changed.

On the New Year's Eve of the first year of Xiangfu, both young and old in Xingzi Lane were burning lanterns to greet the New Year, and so did the Fan family.

In front of the Kuanxin Pavilion, the bronze master stood in the middle of the patio, looking up at the sky.

The little girl and Fan Changhou were sitting on the stone steps.

The little girl has a straight face.

Fan Changhou bowed his head and choked like a child.

During the day~IndoMTL.com~ Master patiently told him many things and truths for the first time, and talked about the plans and layouts of several still living staff, and talked about Liyang Prince Zhao Zhuan and Yan Cao Wang Shizi Zhao Zhuan’s The pros and cons, he said how he should cope with the younger brother Lu Xu, how to stand out in the **** strangulation of several major forces, and even talk to him about how to retreat. In the end, the master said something very inexplicable to him, just like a conclusion to Fan Changhou in the history books of later generations: Fan Changhou is happy for fame, good at power, literary talent, cool on the inside but gentle on the outside, Liyang Zhongxing One of the six ministers, good death, posthumous posthumous title Wenzhen.

In the pavilion, an old man who owns the top three in the Spring and Autumn Period holds an oil lamp and walks quietly between the bookshelves and the bookshelves. The wick gradually burns and becomes shorter. As the Chinese New Year approaches, the wick becomes shorter.

The lights are flickering and they are about to go out.

Huang Longshi walked to the window, looked at the night sky, smiled freely, and whispered: "It's nice to meet you, Ye Baikui, Xu Xiao, Zhang Julu, Yuan Benxi, Li Yishan, Zhao Changling, Gu Jiantang, Nalan Youci, Huan Wen , Qi Yanglong, Cao Changqing, Li Beware."

The old man raised the oil lamp, "Respect you, respect the spring and autumn, respect your golden iron horse, respect your freehand style!"

The old man opened the window and threw the oil lamp out of the window without any oil. He laughed and said, "How strong is my life!"
