The strongest Marquis in history

There is a narrow path in the village, and the carriage is impassable, so when the carriage reaches the entrance of the village, the carriage can only be stopped. A group of people enter the village along the path and see a house at the entrance of the village.

The house is quite big, and the houses are all made of bamboo, which are bamboo houses.In the yard, green bamboos are planted.Outside the house, there is a courtyard wall surrounded by bamboo.

The layout of the entire courtyard is quite elegant and unique.

Wang Qi knocked on the door, and after a while, the door opened, an old woman opened the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Wang Qi said: "Old man, we are going to Chang'an, and there is no place to eat near noon, so we came to bother you. Please don't worry, old man, we will give you money for meals, we don't eat for free."

The old woman waved her hand with a smile and said, "It's just a bowl of rice, it's nothing, come, please come in."

Wang Qi waved his hand to let Lin Yuanchong go ahead, and a group of people entered.

In the yard, an old man was reading a book.

The old man was wearing coarse linen clothes, his gray hair was fixed with a wooden hairpin, and his old face was full of wrinkles.There are even many age spots on his face, which makes him look very old.

Although the old man is old, his temperament is extraordinary.

Elegant and indifferent.

That indifferent and free-spirited posture is even more open-minded to see through the world.

Seeing the old man, Lin Yuanchong showed surprise on his aged face, and asked, "Brother Boda, why are you here?"

Hearing Lin Yuanchong's words, the old man raised his head and looked over. He was also surprised and said, "My dear brother, how do you know that this old man is here? No, no, if you knew, you shouldn't ask me why I'm here."

The old man's name is Ke Liang, and his style name is Boda.

He is Lin Yuanchong's friend.

Ke Liang used to be an official in the court, served as the Minister of Rites, and was the second in command of the Ministry of Rites.It's just that after the battle between Zhao Yu and Zhao Zhi, the officials of the DPRK and China stood in line one after another, clinging to the officials.Ke Liang couldn't understand these things, so he simply resigned and left.

After Ke Liang resigned, he lived in the Beijing suburb of Chang'an County.

That is the village today.

The village where Ke Liang lives is called Shangyuan Village.There are not many people in the village, there are about twenty households.

Ke Liang stood up, his old face was full of smiles, and he said happily, "I never thought that my virtuous brother would meet me in Shangyuan Village. What a fate! You didn't have lunch, just right, our old couple haven't eaten yet, after a while , you can eat."

Lin Yuanchong entered with a smile, introduced Wang Qi and Zhuge Feng, and the group sat down in the hall for dinner.

Ke Liang looked at Lin Yuanchong and asked, "My dear brother, what's going on with you now?"

He has not yet figured out the current situation.

Lin Yuanchong explained: "I was recruited by the imperial court to serve as the son of the imperial court. I passed by here today, thinking that I didn't eat lunch, and there was still a long way to go to Chang'an City, so I came to the village to rest and eat. Unexpectedly, I actually met Brother Boda."

After a pause, Lin Yuanchong said: "Brother Boda, you have been living in Chang'an City, why did you come to the suburbs of Beijing?"

Chapter 128 Bamboo Poetry

Ke Liang sighed and explained: "Chang'an City today is a mess. There are refugees everywhere in the city. The life of the people is extremely difficult, but the children of the rich and powerful are acting recklessly and taking advantage of the people."

"Oh, I've seen so much that I'm so overwhelmed that I'm too lazy to talk about it."

"My son and the others are not used to the deserted environment of Shangyuan Village, so my old wife and I, and our attendant who wrote poems, lived here. There are not many people in the village, but they are very kind and help each other .

"After all, the world is not peaceful, and it is not easy for everyone. Only by sticking together can we survive."

Speaking of this, Ke Liang said with emotion: "I think back then, I also experienced peace and prosperity. How many years have passed now? It's a mess. There are hungry people on the roads, refugees everywhere, and even children who sell their children. This situation is really shocking. People are helpless."

Lin Yuanchong sighed, "There is no other way."

Ke Liang changed the subject and said, "My dear brother, you should not enter the court at this time. It stands to reason that it is appropriate for you to serve as the son of the country. You must not be able to stand it, and you will definitely write a letter to persuade His Majesty. The crown prince and the king of Qi are fighting, and the fight is raging. If you go, you may be involved in it."

Lin Yuanchong said: "Even so, I still have a duty to do so."

"Forget it, don't talk about these things."

"Say something happy."

Lin Yuanchong pointed at Wang Qi and said with a smile: "I have introduced Wang Qi to you just now, but I didn't go into details. This kid is Cui Dongshan's disciple and my nephew. His attainments are truly unique, rare in the world."

Ke Liang smiled and said, "I know about Cui Dongshan's entry into the imperial court as a royal censor. Unexpectedly, he took in a disciple when he was about to grow old. Speaking of poetry, are you sure he is rare in the world?"

Lin Yuanchong said: "In my opinion, there are almost no people in the world who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him."

Ke Liang stroked his gray beard, and said again: "Are you sure? This is a bit arrogant."

Lin Yuanchong said, "Of course!"

Speaking of this, Lin Yuanchong said: "This kid once wrote the poems and words of "The Road to Shu", "When Will the Bright Moon Come", and an article "Ai Lian Shuo", all of which are classics handed down from generation to generation. There is nothing comparable."

Ke Liang has been in Shangyuan Village and rarely goes out, so he doesn't know much about the outside world.He thought about it, and said with a smile: "I don't know about these things. I don't count the poems in the past. I like bamboo. How about letting him write a poem with bamboo as the theme?"

Lin Yuanchong said: "Shouzheng, it's your turn."

Wang Qi smiled lightly and said, "Uncle Master, you are giving me a problem!"

Lin Yuanchong said: "Stinky boy, don't shirk. Mr. Ke is a great Confucianist in the world. Now you come to Chang'an to study and get the approval of Brother Bo Da. It will help you establish a foothold in Chang'an."

This is Lin Yuanchong's purpose.

He passed the white lotus badge to Wang Qi, so he regarded Wang Qi as his successor, and he wanted to support Wang Qi with all his strength.

He was already old enough to pass the stage of showing off.He would not use Wang Qi to put gold on his face. He did this now because he hoped that Wang Qi would get more people's approval and go smoothly.

With Cui Dongshan, Lin Yuanchong, and Ke Liang, plus the approval of the rest of the Confucian scholars, Wang Qi became a new generation of Confucian leaders, and it was justifiable.

Wang Qi's expression became solemn, and he said, "This disciple takes orders."

Lin Yuanchong turned to look at Ke Liang, and said, "Brother Boda, Shouzheng's calligraphy is also unique. It is best to prepare pen and ink and let him write it out."

Ke Liang ordered the attendants in the mansion to fetch pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and asked with a smile, "Is it really that good?"

Lin Yuanchong said: "It's a mule or a horse, you'll know if you take it out for a walk."

Ke Liang said: "The old man will wait and see."

Not long after, the attendant brought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. After Wang Qi spread it, he picked up the pen and dipped it in the ink, ready to write.

Lin Yuanchong got up directly and walked to Wang Qi's side.

Ke Hao was curious and came over.

He wanted to see what was so outstanding about the junior that Lin Yuanchong admired so much.

Wang Qi thought for a while, and already thought of what to write.The brush in his hand was full of ink, and he swiped the brush without hesitation.

《Bamboo stone》

He insisted that Qingshan would not relax, and Ligen was in the broken rock.

Chima Manto, Nishi-North-South-North.

Wang Qi copied the song "Bamboo and Stone".After he finished writing in one go, he signed the time, month, and day.

After Ke Liang saw it, his slightly cloudy eyes suddenly burst into light,

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

"It's really well written."

"In this song "Bamboo and Stone", the words used between the lines are extremely elegant. Even each word is more powerful. Through the description of biting, not relaxing, and breaking the rock, the vigorous and tenacious bamboo is written."

"The last two sentences are even more classic."

"Bamboo encounters difficulties and obstacles, but the bamboo heart does not change, and it still stands proudly."

Ke Liang praised again and again, saying: "It is not only about writing about bamboo, but also about using things to express one's will. It is about writing about people! I feel that this piece of bamboo is a portrayal of me. It is well written, well written!"

Lin Yuanchong was also very satisfied, and said with a smile: "You will put gold on your face."

Ke Liang snorted, looked at Wang Qi, and said with emotion: "Cui Dongshan has been strong all his life, but he has accepted such a good disciple. It's a pity, old man, there is no such disciple!"

Lin Yuanchong said: "No objection?"

Ke Liang said: "It's gone, it's gone, a good boy, a good boy. Among the younger generation, being upright is No. 1."

Wang Qidao: "Bo Dagong, it's not surprising that you have a small way of poetry and poetry. You are a shame for the younger generation."

Ke Liang stroked his beard and shook his head, and said, "I don't like to tell lies, you deserve it. Although poetry is a small way, it can express your will through words and reveal your heart with your writing. This poem shows your strength of character. The cunning I can’t write such a poem.”

Speaking of this, Ke Liang said: "The old man is curious about the rest of your poems and articles."

Lin Yuanchong said: "Come on, the old man will tell you."

He immediately recited "The Difficult Road to Shu" and "When Will the Bright Moon Come?" Lin Yuanchong remembered all these in his heart. As Lin Yuanchong recited, Ke Liang was even more shocked.

Bamboo stone is very good.

But "The Road to Shu" and "When Will the Moon Come" are even more extraordinary.

Lin Yuanchong didn't care about Ke Liang's shocked appearance. After reading it, he asked the accompanying attendants to fetch the "Ai Lian Shuo" written by Wang Qi, and let Ke Liang appreciate it.

Lin Yuanchong finally put away the words, and said: "Brother Boda, you have seen it. This "Ai Lian Shuo" really speaks to the heart of this old man."

"Oh, what a pity, what a pity!"

Ke Liang was even more emotional, saying: "Unfortunately, Shouzheng is not the disciple of this old man. Whether it is words or articles, they are all top-notch, enough to overwhelm the contemporary generation, and it is the No. 1 contemporary youth."

Lin Yuanchong showed a smile on his face.

The reason why he brags about Wang Qi is to get Ke Liang's approval.

Only in this way can it be promoted to Wang Qi.

Wang Qi was humble on the lips, but he was grateful to Lin Yuanchong in his heart.Although Lin Yuanchong was foolish and loyal to the court, he had nothing to say to him.Whether it is Cui Dongshan or Lin Yuanchong, they treat him like a family member without any reservations.

Not long after, the food in the house was ready.

Everyone had dinner together, and after the meal, everyone rested at the residence temporarily. After all, they had arrived at the border of Chang'an. Now that Lin Yuanchong met an old friend, he naturally wanted to stay longer.

Most of the time, Lin Yuanchong and Ke Liang were talking, while Wang Qi and Zhugefeng sat below and listened.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!"

A knock on the door suddenly came from the door.

Immediately, there was another shout: "Ke Gong, open the door quickly, open the door quickly. There is a big event in the village, please come forward, Mr. Ke!"

After hearing this, Ke Liang told Lin Yuanchong to wait a moment, then hurried to the door and opened the door.

Outside the yard, an old man stood.

The old man was dressed in rough linen clothes, his clothes were worn out, his back was slightly bent, and he looked very old.He is the village official in the village, named Ling Yuantu, who had read a little when he was young.

In this life, he has never left the village.

Seeing Ke Liang, Ling Yuantu said quickly: "Mr. Ke, there are three barbarians in the village, knocking on doors everywhere looking for young girls. In our village, there are only Chen Laosan and Li Dafu's family, and there are two unmarried They must not be ruined! Mr. Ke, you have seen the world, and you have been a high-ranking official in the court, please help!"

Wang Qi came up and asked, "What's going on, why are there barbarians in Chang'an committing murder?"

You know, Chang'an is the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It is an imperial capital.

In such a place, there should be few barbarians, or even no barbarians.

Ke Liang went straight out, explaining as he walked: "What else can happen? Our majesty is responsible for this. Your majesty is 57 this year. The Taoist priest in the palace said that your majesty will be doomed this year."

"As long as this catastrophe passes, seventy years can be expected, and the next ten years will be smooth."

"If you can't survive this year, you will be in danger."

"That's why there is a big talk about celebrating His Majesty's birthday. Even the countries outside the Great Zhou Dynasty all sent envoys to celebrate the birthday. If there are too many Hu people, chaos will naturally arise.

Ke Liang sighed: "The current troubles in the region are caused by the emperor, let's go!"

Wang Qi frowned.

Unexpectedly, there was such a thing, and the emperor's order caused many problems in the local area.

Wang Qi didn't need to think about it, he knew that the local officials didn't dare to deal with it.

After all, he is here to celebrate his birthday.

After dealing with these barbarians, if it affects He Shou and Longyan is furious, they can't bear to go around.

In the end, the people suffered.
