That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 708 Talking about the old things of Wei State

The reason why Xu Beiyou had not set foot in the Wei Kingdom, the news arrived at the Wei Palace before him, one is because the spy system built by Xiao Jin is really fast, and the other is because Xu Beiyou travels too slowly.

Because of meeting Sun Shiwu, Xu Beiyou did not go straight to Wei State after beheading Zheng Kuiqi, but returned to the passenger ship, and followed the passenger ship to Chunshan Port, Wei State's largest port.

Spring Mountain Harbor is named after the mountain?Because the port was backed by a lush and buoyant green mountain, although Xu Beiyou had no military skills, he could also see that this place was definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack in terms of terrain alone.At this time, standing at the port and looking back at the city, the whole city is built on the hillside, row upon row, and there is an illusion of a miniature capital city.It's spring, and the whole city is like that mountain, green and lush, covered with vegetation everywhere, which makes people feel refreshed and happy when they look at it.

Standing beside Xu Beiyou, Sun Shiwu chanted softly: "The old general Yang Gong resigned from the imperial capital, and sailed around the pot. The bright moon does not return to Shen Bihai, and the white clouds are full of sorrow."

Xu Beiyou said: "When the old general Yang Bofu followed the Wei King to conquer the Wei State, he unfortunately died of illness in Jiuyuan City in the territory of the Wei State. After the news spread back to the Central Plains, a literary master wrote this poem specially in memory of the old general Yang."

Sun Shiwu said with emotion softly: "According to the calculations, Uncle Yangfu has been away for 50 years, and honor, disgrace, fame and fame are all gone."

Maybe it was because of his old age, Sun Shiwu, a great Confucian in the world, was a little rambling, "To put it bluntly, Yang Bofu died a little strangely back then. Who is Yang Bofu? He is a famous general in the world, and Xu Lin and others, who are good at riding and fighting, are different. Yang Bofu is good at water fighting. He was the left governor of Jiangdu, and he single-handedly compiled and trained the Jiangdu Navy. The Jiangnan water army left behind by Bo Fu."

"As for why the position of Yang Bofu was replaced by Lu Qian, we have to mention an old case. Because of his upright temper, Yang Bofu wrote a letter to defend Fang He, the chief assistant who was involved in the prince's treason case. The emperor of Dazheng Shenzong was so furious that he was dismissed from office, and even risked being killed. Yang Bofu is also a man of temperament. Hanging the crown and leaving to show his contempt, the enraged Emperor Shenzong ordered the Anwei Mansion and Tianji Pavilion to search for Yang Bofu's whereabouts, and to punish him in a canonical manner. Unfortunately, it took several years for Yang Bofu to die. It seems to have disappeared out of thin air, completely missing. The world said that Yang Bofu hid in the Taoist Linxian Mansion, some people said that Yang Bofu traveled across the ocean to Weiguo, and some said that he was sheltered by the shepherd Qihe Several old friends of Xu Lin’s sect became veterans of the frontier army. In short, there are always different situations, where do you think he is hiding?”

Xu Beiyou pondered for a moment, hesitantly asked: "Is he hiding in Jiangdu City?"

Sun Shiwu shook his head and said with a smile, "Although we didn't hit the target, we were not far away. The situation in Jiangdu was complicated, and it was far from being controlled by Yang Bofu alone. If he went to sea to escape, it would inevitably leave traces. There is no old saying that it is dark under the lamp. Bofu did the opposite, he did not flee to Linxian Mansion or Weiguo as the world said, but after setting up the illusion of going to sea, he went directly north along the Dongjiang Grand Canal, and even went south to Jiangdu. The imperial envoys passing by the imperial decree staggered by. When the imperial decree arrived in Jiangdu, Uncle Yang was already in the eastern capital. After that, no matter how the secret guards tried to scout the world, they did not expect that Uncle Yang was right under their noses. It is said that Uncle Yang The mansion that Fu bought in Dongdu was only two streets away from the White Tiger Hall of the Dark Guard Mansion, and even walking would not take a cup of tea. Later, when the late Emperor entered the Eastern Capital, he revealed his identity and took the initiative to join the late Emperor. .”

Xu Beiyou couldn't help admiring: "This old general Yang is really not an ordinary person."

Sun Shiwu also said with emotion: "You said that such a person, how could he die of illness in Jiuyuan City inexplicably."

Xu Beiyou's face turned serious, "The old man is saying that King Wei..."

Sun Shiwu said softly: "When the first emperor sent the king of Wei to the state of Wei, he had the intention of exile, but he would not let the king of Wei sit in the state of Wei completely, so the first emperor sent Yang Bofu to conquer the state of Wei together with the king of Wei. At that time, the king of Wei was only a young man, and Yang Bofu was enough to deal with it, but in the end, Yang Bofu died early. There is no such coincidence in the world, I'm afraid it's..."

Sun Shiwu didn't fully explain what he said, leaving the rest as blank, and let Xu Beiyou think about it slowly.

He continued: "Nangui, speaking of Uncle Yang Fu, do you think the name sounds familiar?"

Xu Beiyou was slightly taken aback, and then suddenly remembered something, "The family teacher had an elder brother named Gongsun Bofu, who also died of illness early."

Sun Shiwu nodded and said: "That's right, both of them have the word Bofu in their names, and the time of death is not too far apart, and the Jiuyuan City originally belonged to the Gongsun family, but the ages of the two are a little different. "

Xu Beiyou's face became more and more serious. Looking at a verdant spring mountain, he felt a sense of suffocation and oppression surrounded by clouds and fog.

Sun Shiwu suddenly said: "Nangui, do you know that the five great families of Weiguo back then all bet on both sides? The Ye family only got the honor of the head teacher of the Taoist sect, and the Murong family was the real one. Northeast Mu Clan, Fomen, Weiguo Jianzong and other six parties bet, no matter how you look at it, it is a situation that is sure to win and not lose."

Xu Beiyou shook his head and didn't know.

Sun Shiwu said slowly: "Betting on both sides is doomed to be unfavorable to both sides. To put it bluntly, it is a foolish act, but even so, the late emperor never thought of destroying the Zhang family and the Gongsun family."

Xu Beiyou asked suspiciously, "Is it Wei Wang Xiaojin?"

Sun Shiwu hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "There are so many stories about Wei State, and I can't tell them all in a short while, and I can't say that I know everything. If you want to know the inside story, you might as well take a walk around Wei State, and you may meet someone When I meet some old people who have experienced the events of the past, I can know something different from their mouths."

Xu Beiyou hummed heavily.

He suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but remind him: "During the first battle of the Mingling Mausoleum, the first emperor once said that the king of Wei had already cultivated the three corpses. King, it's better not to be careless."

Sun Shiwu nodded and said: "Qingchen actually taught Xiao Jin the method of beheading three corpses. It is indeed not to be underestimated. Thank you for reminding me."

He then smiled and said: "But this is also reasonable. Back then, Xiao Jin and Wanyan Beiyue were called the two exiled immortals in the north and the south. Now that Wanyan Beiyue has touched the threshold of ascension, Xiao Jin did not stand still. reason."

Finally, the great Confucian master said heartily: "Okay, I have finished what I have to say. You have your affairs and I have mine. It is time for you and me to say goodbye. Before we leave, I will say goodbye to you." Nagging, what you get on paper is always shallow, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, if you are not in a hurry this time, you might as well take a walk in Wei State, maybe you can get some unexpected gains."

Xu Beiyou cupped his hands with a smile and said, "Thank you for your teaching, Mr. Farewell, I hope you will take good care of me all the way."

The two parted ways after smiling at each other.
