I, the son of Yang Guo, abducted Zhang Sanfeng across the heavens

Chapter 22: Tribulation Field (3)

"Fortunately, nothing went wrong. Sure enough, I'm still a planner."

Yang Gui and Zhang Sanfeng hurried on the road with ease, as fast as an airplane, and soon arrived at the agreed meeting place, and Bai Zhentong could already be seen in the distance.

"Zhang Daochang, Yang Shaoxia!"

Bai Zhentong greeted him with a big smile, "Fortunately, Prime Minister Wen is here!"

Yang Gui looked at the haggard middle-aged man.

Wen Tianxiang bowed to the ground first: "Thank you, righteous men, for your rescue."

Yang Gui also returned the gift, "Prime Minister Wen is as strong as he is, and if Yang can save Prime Minister Wen from the execution ground, it will be considered a good talk in the future."

"This Yishi Yang, just heard what Yishi Bai said just now, but he is the son of 'Condor Hero' Yang Guo?" Wen Tianxiang frowned and looked at Yang Gui, "In this way, this can be regarded as a family tradition."

Seeing his indifferent attitude, Yang Gui couldn't help but distance himself a bit, "It's my father, what can Prime Minister Wen teach you?"

"Back then, your father committed Wang Weizhong for the imperial court, tortured and killed the current minister Chen Dafang, exposed his head in the eaves of the bell tower at the East Gate of Lin'an, privately plundered the current prime minister Ding Daquan, and even dared to enter the deep palace compound at night. I heard that Yang Yishi rescued this official by entering the palace first and then robbing the ministers. Isn't it the same as Naifu?"

Wen Tianxiang was full of righteousness and angrily reprimanded Yang Gui.

Yang Gui directly made him annoyed, "I said Lao Wen, we are here to save you."

"I am an official of the Great Song Dynasty, and now I am deeply in the hands of the enemy. If the Great Song Dynasty can save it, it will naturally be rescued. If it cannot be saved, I will be loyal to the country and die. My Great Song Dynasty is an orthodox and ceremonial state in the Central Plains. How can I rob the prison, visit the palace at night, and do things that are even inferior to the Mongolian Tartars?"

Wen Tianxiang is righteous.

As soon as Wen Tianxiang said this, not only Yang Gui, but even Zhang Sanfeng and Bai Zhentong changed their colors.

Yang Gui stared at Wen Tianxiang for a while, "Wen Tianxiang, the ants are still alive, we risked our lives to rescue you, so that you can teach me a lesson here?"

"Hmph, human beings are human, how can ants be compared?"

Wen Tianxiang flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, "Life is what I want, and righteousness is also what I want. You can't have both, and those who sacrifice their lives for righteousness. Humans naturally have the instinct to steal life, but we have read poetry and books, so we should preserve the laws of nature and destroy human desires. If it is dominated by desires, how is it different from animals?"

"Old Zhang, why don't we kill him here." Yang Gui drew out his sword and put it on Wen Tianxiang's neck.

"Eh……"

Zhang Sanfeng and Bai Zhentong were anxious and wanted to stop them, but they didn't know how to speak.For a moment, everyone blamed Wen Tianxiang in their hearts, even if you thought so in your heart, at this moment, if you don't tell me to say something nice, just shut up, right?
"Hahahahaha!"

Wen Tianxiang looked up to the sky and laughed, "When I was in the Song Dynasty, corrupt officials dared to impeach. After I was captured by the Tartars, I was not afraid of Mongolian torture. Why should I be afraid of your knight-errant sword? If Wen Tianxiang was afraid of death, he would have voted for the Yuan court! But you, who have no king, no father, and lawlessness, are worse than the Mongolian Tartars!"

An inexplicable aura surged up and down Wen Tianxiang Zhou's body. If a Confucian disciple saw it, he would definitely accept his head and bow.

Yang Gui stared seriously at Wen Tianxiang's eyes for a long time, and found that he had no intention of retreating, but just called Yang Gui with righteousness, trying to make Yang Gui admit his mistake.

Yang Gui smiled.

He laughed exaggeratedly, at first it was a silent shallow smile, and then he laughed out loud, holding his stomach and shrunk to the ground, rolling around non-stop, tears came out of his laughter.

"Hahahahaha, good, good. A scholar is upright, not afraid of swords, and sacrifices his life for righteousness, good."

Yang Gui finally understood that Wen Tianxiang was neither ungrateful nor ignorant.It’s because he grew up reading the Confucian set of father, son, son, monarch, monarch, and minister. For him, nothing is more important than the level of class.

However, after the Southern Song Dynasty, the loss of "ritual" was the loss of "reason".

Yang Guo killed treacherous ministers, rescued loyal ministers, supported common people, and punished traitors. In Wen Tianxiang's view, let alone a commoner, even if you are an official, if you want to be punished, you should be impeached and dismissed, beheaded?Don't you know that I will give you a big gift, Mr. Scholars?
Aside from the facts, are you right about Yang Guo?

This is even more true for Yang Gui at this time. In the matter of the confrontation between the two countries, you actually threatened the imperial court with your own bravery. This is a rebellion!For him, even if the Great Song Dynasty were to perish, the Confucian oppression theory system would not perish, nor would "reason".

"Confucianism" is actually no different from a cult. It washes the brains of believers and makes them fanatical, fearless, and inhumane.

The good thing is that this has given scholars all over the world a strong backbone, especially Wen Tianxiang.He really disregarded life and death and was fearless.

But in the same way, nothing matters to them except their teachings, and they condense into a huge force that will tear apart all things that are contrary to their teachings.

This is true of all cults, and Neo Confucianism is the most important among them.After all, whether it is the Taiping Dao, the White Lotus Sect or the Mingjiao, the teachings are to serve the gods in the teachings and do things for the gods, while the teachings of Neo Confucianism are the extinction of human nature of "preserving the principles of heaven and destroying human desires".

Wen Tianxiang's so-called "magnificent righteousness" is really no different from the "magic power" cultivated by the White Lotus Sect.It has the effect of standing on the moral high ground to accuse others naturally, no matter whether it is objectively right or wrong, for people with awe-inspiring righteousness, it is your fault to go against me.

After figuring this out, Yang Gui felt that there was no need to talk nonsense with Wen Tianxiang, "Okay, you can say whatever you want. You can go to the south and escape for your life, we can go now."

Zhang Sanfeng also felt quite disappointed. He originally thought that Wen Tianxiang was a saint-like figure, so he risked his life to save him, but now it is obvious that the rivers and lakes and the temple have never been the same, even if the temple has perished.

"No, I won't go." Wen Tianxiang said calmly: "The great prime minister of the Song Dynasty, how could he run for his life as a rat? I must die at the hands of the Tartars, so as to arouse the last ray of resistance for the remaining Han people."

"Prime Minister Wen..." Bai Zhentong turned pale with shock, wouldn't you, big brother, even if you collapsed, you wouldn't give up on yourself, would you?What are you doing, we tired ones?
"Bai Yishi doesn't need to say too much. The reason why I agree to come out with you is because I'm afraid that you won't be able to get away if there is a dispute, and you will lose your life." Wen Tianxiang waved his hand slowly.

"Now that you are safe now, I will go back to Dadu and tell Kublai Khan that the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty will not run away. The Great Song Dynasty will never lack the courage to confront the enemy head-on, even if it costs him his life."

Hearing this, Yang Gui took another deep look at Wen Tianxiang.

Although this person has been deeply brainwashed by Neo-Confucianism, he also possesses the precious integrity of being willing to bend rather than bend. From this point of view, he is much stronger than the soft-boned civil servants and even the emperor who have given away 300 years of large pieces of soft bones. The last backbone of the Song Dynasty is very straight, and no one can make it bend a little bit.

"In the 300th year and 19th year of the imperial court, it was the [-]th year of the imperial court. It was today. Prime Minister Wen, Yang said goodbye."

Yang Gui turned his head and left, Zhang Sanfeng followed after him, Bai Zhentong looked at Yang Gui, then at Wen Tianxiang, and sighed heavily.

"Hey, Prime Minister Wen, take care... Take care!"

He originally wanted to say take care, but then he thought that Wen Tianxiang's trip was to seek death, and the word take care was inappropriate, so he had nothing to say for a while.He bowed to the ground, turned around and left with the nine brothers.

"Yang Gui...you're quite gracious." Apparently, Yang Gui plagiarized what his family member Yang Shen said hundreds of years ago, which made Wen Tianxiang pay attention to this ranger for the first time. Looking at the direction Yang Gui left, he murmured: "Hmph, it's a pity, it's a chaotic party."

After finishing speaking, he stopped feeling emotional, and walked towards the direction of the capital city, his back full of determination.

"Old Bai, leave it alone."

Yang Gui bid farewell to ten people including Bai Zhentong.Bai Zhentong and others originally planned to head east directly after saving people, sailing from Tianjin to the south by water, and let Wen Tianxiang gather up the remnants and continue to fight against the Yuan Dynasty.Even if Wen Tianxiang didn't leave now, they still planned to take the water route. After all, the Mongols are not good at water warfare, and their strength is not high, so they can escape easily.

But Yang Gui and Zhang Sanfeng are self-confident that they are invincible, so obviously they will not escape desperately by water, they plan to go directly by land.

"Yang Shaoxia, Zhang Daochang, there will be a meeting later!" Bai Zhentong and the other ten people did not hesitate, they cupped their hands, turned around and ran to the east.

Yang Gui was about to go south to the East China Sea, but was stopped by Zhang Sanfeng, "Old turtle, long time no see, why don't you go to Wudang Mountain?"

"It's okay." Yang Gui nodded, and Wen Tianxiang was almost pissed off today. It was the first time he felt that those righteous figures with a long history in history were not just a simple face, but a simple person, but a person with complex emotions.

He can be good or bad, he can sacrifice generously for the sake of his country and nation, or he can stand on the opposite side of the people for the sake of his ideals.

It's impossible to tell.

He wants to see if Zhang Sanfeng is also this kind of person.

If yes, then beat him up again.

Yang Gui followed Zhang Sanfeng all the way to the west, but after walking a hundred miles, he saw a black line sweeping towards the sky like a tidal wave.

"Old Zhang, I'm afraid the two of us will die before Wen Tianxiang."

Yang Gui stopped and looked serious.

This place is the North China Plain, a great plain that stretches as far as the eye can see. It doesn't matter what special effects the two are comparable to or what special effects they have developed, as long as they are still flesh and blood and surrounded by cavalry, it is absolutely difficult to escape.

The speed of the cavalry was very fast, and soon they formed an formation in front of Yang Gui and stopped.Then he got out of the way and saw a veteran of the Chinese army with a golden helmet sitting on his horse, holding a scimitar, looking at the two of them.

"Yang Gui, Zhang Sanfeng?"

asked the veteran.

"It's you two Daoist masters!" Yang Gui's internal force sent his voice far away, even in the army formation, it was very clear.

"Good work." The old general praised: "It's a pity that such hard work can't serve the country."

"Bo Yan said that all the time just now, do you think I care about him?" Yang Gui said disdainfully.

"It's normal. If Boyan can't do it, maybe I can't. What I can give you, he can't."

The veteran smiled and said, "Do you know who I am?"

Then guess what, how can there be another person who dares to use this word?

The corners of Yang Gui's eyes twitched: "Are you Kublai Khan?"

"That's right, it's me!" Kublai Khan said with a look of reminiscence on his face: "Your Yang family is also my old enemy of Dayuan. When your father assassinated Mengge Khan, I was not far away. I watched the army flee and the banner fell. Only then can I become a sweater and become an emperor."

"You know I'm Yang Guo's son, so you still dare to come?" Yang Gui laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid of ending up with your predecessor?"

"Brother Meng is Brother Meng, and I am I." Kublai Khan waved his hand, "I am the emperor on horseback. Back then, I followed Genghis Khan all the way to the west and was invincible. In these years, I went south to destroy the Song Dynasty. Even Genghis Khan's record is not as good as mine. It can be seen that the Song Dynasty in the Yuan Dynasty was God's will. Don't you hear that those who follow the sky prosper and those who go against the sky perish?"

"Today, in my Great Yuan Dynasty, I have a million armors and thousands of good generals. Forgive me, how can the luminescence of rotten grass compare to the bright moon in the sky? If you turn your back on your armor and surrender with courtesy, you will still be a Marquis. The country will be safe and the people happy, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

"Shut up! Shameless old thief... Cough, cough, what, take it easy, it's too strong." Yang Gui looked at Kublai Khan with contempt, "Where did you just pick up this passage from?"

"Hehe, it doesn't seem to make sense, since that's the case," Kublai Khan glanced at the surrounding soldiers, who quickly and firmly surrounded Kublai Khan, ensuring that there would be no dead ends at 360 degrees, and no flying stones could hurt him at all, so he swung his saber and said, "Kill!"

　The plot of ten martyrs collecting Wen Tianxiang's corpse comes from "Wen Tianxiang" edited by Chen Qingquan, the former president of Guangming Daily Publishing House:
　　Ten Jiangnan righteous men appeared on the execution ground, and they risked their lives to deal with Wen Tianxiang's funeral.In the belt room of the remains, they found such a praise with a preface:

　　If I am a general, I cannot save the country and rule the world. If the army is defeated and the country is humiliated, I will be a prisoner, and I will die for a long time!Since he was arrested, he wanted to lead the decision without interruption. Today, with this opportunity, I would like to bow to the south to die.His praise said: Confucius said to achieve benevolence, Mencius said to obtain righteousness, but only when his righteousness is exhausted, so benevolence is supreme.What do you learn by reading the books of sages and sages?From now on, I have nothing to be ashamed of!Song Prime Minister Wen Tianxiang's last pen.
