Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 85 The Talent of Wang Zuo
...

Daxiangguo Temple was originally the former residence of Lord Xinling during the Warring States Period. The temple was built in the sixth year of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and it has reached its peak by this time.

The current Daxiangguo Temple covers an area of ​​more than [-] mu, governs [-] Buddhist temples and law courts, and is the largest temple and Buddhist activity center. Even the emperor often comes here to pray, thank you, and praise its "Daxiangguo" The temple is the hero of the world", it is a veritable royal temple, and its status is at its peak.

Moreover, Daxiangguo Temple can be described as a gathering of celebrities. Tang Ruizong, Song Taizong, Song Zhenzong, Song Renzong, Song Yingzong, Song Huizong, etc. have all inscribed foreheads for the temple successively; Wu Daozi, Shi Baoyu, Che Zhengdao, Li Yong, Wang Wen, Yang Huizhi and others left murals, statues or inscriptions; works about this temple written by Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Su Shi, Mei Yaochen, Zhao Mingcheng, Huang Tingjian and others have become handed down works; , Di Qing and other famous ministers and ministers all left their footprints here.

Ordinary Buddhist temples will choose quiet places to build temples, but Daxiangguo Temple is located in the busiest city center of Kaifeng Prefecture. Its trading of surnames is open five times a month, which can be said to be the largest market in Kaifeng Prefecture. Almost all clothing, stationery, medicine, daily necessities, etc. that are in circulation in the market can be bought here, and there are many things that are even unique to this one, without a semicolon.

Looking at the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd, Li Yan, who was dressed outside the staff, felt relieved.

Zhang Sandao, who was helping to dress up at the side, said: "Every temple fair can crowd people to death, and the portraits that offer rewards don't look like they are painted. My brother painted his face with ginger juice and shaved his mustache. No one will recognize him!"

Hearing this, Li Yan didn't hesitate, and entered the crowd with Zhang San.

The reason why Li Yan personally went to see Coach Zhang to help Lin Chong as this lobbyist was because Li Yan had no suitable person around him for this matter, and secondly because Li Yan admired the old man and her Zhenlie daughter and did not want their father and daughter to die. Of course, it is also because Coach Zhang, who has been a coach all his life, is also useful to Shuibo Liangshan.

Some people may ask, isn't Gao Ya Nei abolished, why is he still going to trouble Mrs. Lin?

Most people who ask this question do not understand how strong human obsession is.

for example:

A woman in later generations has been madly obsessed with a male star since she was 16 years old. She dropped out of school before finishing junior high school and stayed at home, frantically collecting information about the male star. In order to help her pursue the star, his father sold the house, borrowed money, and even tried to sell his kidney. Finally, he jumped into the sea and died. Death, but this still didn't stop this woman from wanting to see that male star, this is obsession.

Therefore, it is true that Gao Yanei has been abolished, but maybe it is precisely because of this that he will become crazier than before. That is to say, when Gao Yanei recovers, Mrs. Zhang will be even more dangerous.

After walking with the crowd for about a stick of incense, Li Yan saw the Daxiangguo Temple.

Resplendent with gold and jade, Yunxia lost her face!
Daxiangguo Temple is even more magnificent than Li Yan imagined!
However, Li Yan did not enter the Daxiangguo Temple, but came with Zhang San to the willow tree on the right side of the north gate of the Daxiangguo Temple that he had agreed with Zhang San.

Unexpectedly, there was a tea stall here. Not far away, there was an old man in his fifties and a scholar in his thirties playing Go, and there were three or five people around.

Zhang San looked at the old man, and said, "Who am I, it turns out to be Professor Wen."

"Surname Wen?"

Li Yan's heart moved, and he asked calmly, "Who is Professor Wen?"

Zhang Sandao: "The professor who teaches in Anren Village outside the city is a well-known scholar, and most of the court ministers have knowledge of him."

Li Yan was overjoyed and said, "But what about Wen Huanzhang?"

Zhang Sanqi said: "Brother... the high officials also know Professor Wen?"

Li Yan said with emotion: "It doesn't take much effort to find nowhere to go through the iron shoes!"

One of the purposes of Li Yan's trip to Tokyo was this Wen Huanzhang.

Applying the words of Xu Jing, the governor of the Shangdang, Wen Huanzhang has a deep understanding of strategy, is good at military tactics, has the talent of Sun Wu, and the wisdom of Zhuge.

The most rare thing is that although Wen Huanzhang is talented and famous, he has never been reused by the court. He can only work as a rural teacher in a small village. Later, he finally got Xu Jing's recommendation and was recruited by Gao Qiu. The strategy was too dignified and upright to be used by Gao Qiu. In the end, Gao Qiu did not listen to his words and led to a big defeat. In this way, a good Wang Zuozhi was wiped out in history without contributing a single plan or making a single contribution. , compared with him, Wu Yong's life as a second-rate military adviser was much better. Although he hanged himself in the end, it was considered brilliant!

Originally, Li Yan was going to visit Wen Huanzhang in Anren Village after leaving Tokyo, but today he bumped into him here!
Zhang San didn't know that Li Yan was interested in Wen Huanzhang, but he thought Li Yan was interested in Go, and said, "Come and have a look?"

Li Yan heard the words and moved to Wen Huanzhang's place.

Just when the scribe was defeated and dropped a tael of silver to leave, and no one talked with Wen Huanzhang, Li Yan sat opposite Wen Huanzhang and said, "How to do it?"

Wen Huanzhang looked at Li Yan, and then said while accepting the money: "If you lose with one step, just throw down some coins. If you win, take all the coins on the ground."

Li Yan looked at the ground and saw that there were at least twenty or thirty strings of money and silver. He thought to himself: "Wen Huanzhang's business is good." Then he said: "Guess."

After guessing, Li Yan went first with Bai.

Li Yan was also polite, picked up the chess piece and put it on it.

Wen Huanzhang followed him with his son.

In this way, you and I played about a dozen moves, Wen Huanzhang frowned slightly, then looked at Li Yan and asked: "Who did you learn this game from?"

Li Yandao: "Self-taught."

Seeing that Li Yan didn't want to say more, Wen Huanzhang didn't want to ask any more.

The two continued to play in silence.

The lower he went, the longer Wen Huanzhang thought about it, the deeper his wrinkles became.

Slowly, Baizi became more and more powerful, while Heizi was gradually killed to pieces.

After more than half an hour, Wen Huanzhang conceded defeat, raised his head and looked at Li Yan seriously, and said: "Your Excellency is superb in chess, but it's just that you are a little... unscrupulous in order to win."

Li Yan said indifferently: "It's fine if you win, is the means important?"

While speaking, Li Yan moved all of Wen Huanzhang's money to his side with his feet.

Wen Huanzhang looked at the money and silver that had arrived at Li Yan's feet, then smiled wryly, and said, "It's not important."

After speaking, Wen Huanzhang started to tidy up his go stand.

After seeing and hearing Huanzhang's tweet, the people around him dispersed.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Li Yan said leisurely: "There are many old acquaintances in the court, but there is no one who recommends sages. Professor Wen has gray hair now, and the imperial edict has not yet come to be used. Have you ever thought about changing to another place?" ambition?"

Wen Huanzhang looked at Li Yan for a while, and said, "Where should I change it? Is the water parked in Liangshan?"

Li Yan's pupils shrank!
Then I looked around with the corner of my eye!
Seeing nothing abnormal around, Li Yan smiled "haha" and said, "How did Professor Wen recognize me?"

Wen Huanzhang said: "By the gust of wind just now, I smelled the ginger juice on Li Zhaizhu's face. I used to walk on the rivers and lakes in my early years and was familiar with this technique of concealing my face. However, the three heroes of the Ruan family in Shijie Village are not unknown people in the Jianghu. Living Yan Luo Ruan Xiaoqi is the master of Li Zhai. "

Li Yan admired Wen Huanzhang's profound knowledge and analytical ability, looked at Wen Huanzhang, and asked, "Since the professor recognized me, what does he intend to do?"
