Ren Pingsheng

The matter involved the old master, Tu Shanheng refused to let it go, and did not leave after retiring from the court, but continued to seek to see him.Wanyankang knew what he wanted and didn't refuse, changed into casual clothes and led him out of the city.The horse galloped, and the wind picked up, and I felt much more refreshed.The guards are all good at riding and shooting, so it is not very difficult to follow them.

After half a day, the destination appeared in front of him - the tombs of the Jin Emperor.After recovering the remains of the two emperors from the Mongols, they were buried here.

After running for half a day, Tu Danheng stabilized his mood, and said in a deep voice, "I thought you wouldn't let him be wronged."

Wanyan Kang nodded and said, "That's right."

"But why didn't you even give him the word 'holy'? Wasn't he worthy of the word in the circumstances at that time?"

Wanyan Kang didn't answer, but asked instead: "Can you tell the posthumous names of these people one by one?"

Tu Shanheng could tell.Wan Yankang asked again: "How about going forward? When they died, they were unknown. Because of the success of the descendants, they have the name of emperor. Even if you have never been an emperor for a day, even if you have been an emperor. People who don't live up to their expectations will be deposed. Is it ridiculous? You enjoyed the world while you were alive, and you became the king of Hailing after your death."

Tu Shanheng said: "You can make the decision now. If you can make the decision yourself, you won't be able to do it at the time,"

"How long can I live? Maybe my life will be long, and I will see the world return to unity. Maybe I will die in battle tomorrow. Can you keep the beautiful posthumous title you gave him today? On the contrary, it's better to give him everything. People can’t remember to change, that’s the long-term way.”

Tu Shanheng knew that he couldn't be persuaded, but he still refused to accept it. Wanyan Kang didn't expect to be able to persuade him, as long as he wasn't so excited and didn't do things that were difficult to save.But Tu Shanheng suddenly said: "See my notebook, how tall is it?"

Wan Yankang laughed: "It's so boring for you to ask this question, why don't I ask you also, when you served as the elder brother's director, you read a lot of playbooks, right? Who in the imperial court was not involved?"

Tu Danheng also laughed, and asked in a low voice after laughing, "Can I still stay in Zhongdu?"

Wan Yankang asked back: "Why not?"

"If it is to save my life, there is no need to force me to stay in Zhongdu. I know how many people I have offended. However, if we all stay by your side, we will live a good life, quarreling every day, factional disputes , they will intensify," Tu Shanheng said calmly, "Let's tear it down! Party disputes are never easy to end, and new ones will come again after old ones go. But it's different whether there is a leader or not. Only when there are fewer factions can we rest assured to state affairs."

Wan Yankang picked up a grass stalk and put it in his mouth, and said vaguely: "It's not urgent, there are still many things in the capital. Our old neighbors are not happy. If there is a war, their minds will not let go." Come here. Who can speak well about the war? It’s you, please restrain your temper.”

Tu Shanheng selectively ignored the "temper" and said thoughtfully: "While fighting, at the same time gather military power? Power. That's fine. It's not appropriate to break up all of them, as long as they don't form power."

Wanyan Kang said: "I'm talking about you."

Tu Shanheng said: "I know, I know. Send me away."

"What's your idea?"

Tu Shanheng glanced at the guards, leaned closer and said, "Don't attack each other, do you believe it?"

Wanyan Kang shook his head.

Tu Shanheng said: "Then you have to be prepared. The Mongols are really hard to deal with. They live by water and grass. Even if they go deep into the desert to make a surprise attack, their losses are limited. Now that they are in a group, it is not easy to insert some spies The south is not the case. The north of the river and the south of the river used to belong to the state of Jin, but now they are taken advantage of by the state of Song. Do you believe that the state of Song can manage this area well?"

Wanyan Kang hesitated for a moment, and replied cautiously: "After all, it is the old capital, so I won't be careless."

Tu Shanheng said: "It seems that you have thought about it, but sometimes, 'wanting to do good things' and 'being able to do good things' are two different things. It is precisely because of the old capital, where many old dignitaries have their foundations, and now they have taken them back. Don't you want to restore the old business of your ancestors?"

"The rich and powerful in the past? Isn't there much left?"

"Even if there is only one left," Tu Shanheng said, "why should it really be? As long as there is a name, even if it is an in-law after many generations. If you have this name, step in, land, houses, mines... These have been under the rule of Dajin for nearly a hundred years, and they have already had new owners. It's strange if they don't make trouble!"

Wanyan Kang was thoughtful: "You mean?"

Tu Shanheng said: "Watching and watching is not what countries should do. I may not be good at fighting wars, but doing these things is my forte. If I can handle this matter, I can only do it." Please next time..."

Wanyan Kang said: "I have no way to guarantee you about the elder brother. But I can tell you that I am choosing a good child in Wanyan's family to be the heir to the elder brother."

Tu Shanheng weighed it for a moment, then said without hesitation: "Okay."

Wan Yankang said: "Let's go back, we need to be careful in managing Henan, after all, the envoy is leaving."

Tu Shanheng said: "I invite you to be an envoy to the south, so as to find out the facts and make plans for Henan."

Wan Yankang agreed to him, and said: "If you manage the south, you can go to Shaanxi and station in Xi'an. You can also remotely control the hometown of Xixia, and you can also take care of the south. Remember, the places between rivers and rivers are not in a hurry."

Tu Shanheng said, "I can save it."

The two of them tied the bridle together and slowly returned to the city, chatting all the way.

***************I am the dividing line after N years************

When Wan Yankang visited Bao Xiruo, Bao Xiruo was playing with his grandson.A chubby little boy who has just passed the full moon, is white and clean, and can only kick his arms and legs.As soon as he scratched his third chin, he waved his fat arms angrily.

Seeing Wanyan Kang, Bao Xiruo smiled and said, "Look at him, how wonderful. You were like this when you were young."

Wanyan Kang was a little embarrassed, he didn't remember when he was a child.Seeing his embarrassment, Bao Xiruo didn't say anything, and handed the child to him.Wanyan Kang likes his son, and the more he looks at it, the more he loves him. He is not annoyed by the child's thin nails scratching his face twice.

Bao Xiruo couldn't help laughing: "Okay, you don't know how to take care of the baby, so leave it to the wet nurse. You should give him a good name earlier."

Wanyan Kang paused, handed the baby to the nurse, motioned to take it out, wiped his hands, and said calmly: "No rush, there is one more thing right now, I should let Mom know."

Seeing that he spoke solemnly, Bao Xiruo also suppressed her smile: "What's the matter?"

"Before, when I left the Lin'an Nunnery, didn't I give two household registrations to the Mu family?"

"Yes, that girl even came to show you marksmanship."

Wan Yankang hesitated for a moment, then said: "It's absolutely wrong, it's a coincidence that the place is not far from the foot of Shaoshi Mountain. They don't want to stay here, and Song Guo is afraid of missing the bottom line. So I chose it there. This time when the army passed by, Shaolin Temple can keep the surrounding area peaceful. But once they return to the Song Dynasty, many officials will return to their hometown..."

Bao Xiruo asked in shock, "Could it be that they took away their property?"

"No," Wan Yankang said helplessly, "everything is done properly, and it is hung on the border of Shaolin. If you stretch out your hand towards Buddhism, even the imperial court will have to be cautious. It is that old gentleman who acts bravely when he sees something. When the officials enclose the land and seize the property, they stepped forward to make a theory on their behalf, and naturally the land property cannot be won back, and they have caused some troubles themselves."

"and after?"

"The Shaolin Temple came forward. His son-in-law is a disciple of the Quanzhen layman. He didn't suffer, but he couldn't stay in the original place. I sent a letter to the Quanzhen sect to take him to Shaanxi."

Bao Xiruo also said helplessly: "He always has this temper. Don't look at me, as I get older, some things get more and more unbearable, and some things don't care about them. He has this kind of heart, and he is much better than the other one. . If you want to take care of her, just take care of her."

Wanyan Kang said: "Yes."

Bao Xiruo remembered something again and asked, "Why is Henan in such a mess? Doesn't the court want to return?"

Wan Yankang said: "Yes, the emperor dreamed about it. But in the south for nearly a hundred years, how can you return if you return? You have to take care of it first, right? There are also some southern officials who don't want to move north. The prestige of the Song Dynasty court However, there are quite a few people who rushed back to buy properties. The annexation was revealed during the time of Shenzong. How can they resist it now?"

Bao Xiruo said in a low voice: "The tragedy of the Guo and Yang families in the past was done by soldiers and horses of the imperial court. Kang'er, don't let such a thing happen again."

Wan Yankang wanted to say "I will do my best", but when the words came to his lips, it turned into "good".Bao Xiruo asked in a low voice, "I don't know what happened to Mrs. Guo."

Wan Yankang said: "She has a son and daughter-in-law to take care of her, so it is very good, her daughter-in-law is very likable."

"What do they do for a living now?"

Wan Yankang said softly: "Defend the city. The prime minister of the Southern Dynasty, Jia Sidao, exercised his authority. He didn't want anyone to tell the emperor about the Mongol invasion, and he didn't care about it. Guo Jing couldn't stand it anymore and went to Diaoyu City. The court in the south is at the moment Worried about the turmoil in Henan, I can't even care about the land of Bashu."

"That?"

"Don't worry, you can still hold on."

Bao Xiruo stopped talking, Wanyankang saw this, and stepped back gently.

It's springtime outside, the best time of year.

Look it up, that's fine.
