Chapter 25 Wen Cheng arrives in Wenzhou
By April, it has entered summer and the weather is getting hotter.

The sun was rising high at this time, and after being under the sun for an hour and a half, I felt unbearably hot.

Outside the school grounds, many people looked in through the fence, and they all had one thing in common, that is, they took their children with them.

After watching for a while, a parent yelled at the child: "You idiot, you can't stand a little hard work. Look at the front, how expensive are the officials? You have worked hard, but you can't bear the hardship..."

The more he talked, the angrier he became, and finally he couldn't help but slap the child a few times.

Children of thirteen or fourteen were at their most naughty and would not dare to fight back and would definitely say something back. But when they saw the situation in the school grounds, they were really speechless.

Inside, Zhao was facing the sun, waving the knife seriously, and his short shirt was soaked with sweat.

As long as nothing happens, Zhao will definitely come to practice martial arts, and he is unstoppable.

This is the basic ability to survive and survive in troubled times, and it must not be lost.

Of course, I don't expect to go into battle to kill the enemy. I just hope that in critical moments, I can be a qualified Zhao Paopao instead of dying of illness like in history.

Despite this, the people in Wenzhou City rushed to imitate him and let their useless things learn martial arts, so that one day they could be sold to the officials.

It's just that it's really hot today, and both teenagers and regular soldiers are looking forward to a gust of wind to cool them off.

Perhaps sincerity leads to spiritual success. Countless people prayed together, and the wind actually started to blow.

"Good wind, the time has come!" Zhang Shijie patted the side of the ship and shouted: "Send the order, all troops enter the river!"

Chen Yi shouted: "Enter the whole army into the river and kill Yangzhou!"

The flagman immediately waved the flag to convey the order, and the ten sea-going ships turned around and sailed towards the Yangtze River estuary.

I drifted on the sea for more than a month, just waiting for the southeast wind to blow up so that the ship could go straight to Yangzhou.

Waiting until today, finally waited for the strong southeast wind, the sails bulged, driving the ship upstream.

It takes two days to reach Yangzhou via a five-hundred-mile waterway. The Yuan navy must intercept them along the way. However, as long as the wind does not stop, sea ships have an advantage over river ships, not to mention the help of gunpowder.

On the Oujiang River, a sea-going ship also took advantage of the wind to sail upstream. On the bow of the ship, a man stood upright. Although his clothes were ragged, he looked like a spear and a sword.

Soon, a small boat came over from the opposite side, and the people on the boat shouted: "I am Sun Tong, the inspector of the Oujiang Inspection Department. Do you have the boat navigation certificate from the opposite side?"

The ship's guide is equivalent to the ship's ID card. It contains the ship owner's name, age, household registration, address, ship characteristics, crew identity and number, and the weapons and equipment that can be equipped.

Because Zhao is stationed in Wenzhou, all ships entering the Oujiang River must be surveyed to prevent the Yuan army from sneaking in and attacking by sea boats.

The ship owner Yuan Ming replied: "We came from Zhenzhou to escort Mr. Wen here, but there is no boat guide."

"That's nonsense. How can there be a husband surnamed Wen in the court? I'm afraid he's not a spy of the thieves!"

After Sun Tong finished cursing, the boatman immediately rowed hard and moved away from the ship. At the same time, someone blew the horn.

Within a moment, more than thirty small boats carrying soldiers surrounded them.

Holding swords and spears, bows and arrows, and fighting at the slightest disagreement.

Seeing this, the person on the bow of the boat not only didn't get angry, but clapped his hands and laughed and said: "With such tight security, there is hope for ZTE!"

The person beside him persuaded: "Sir, please reveal your identity quickly, so as not to misunderstand."

"I am Wen Tianxiang. I was detained on an envoy mission. I am going south today. I will return to the imperial court."

"It's really Mr. Wen?" Sun Tong asked.

"You can check it yourself during the inspection." Wen Tianxiang replied.

"Anyone who is coming, please report to us immediately. Prime Minister Wen is back!" Sun Tong was overjoyed and shouted: "The rest of you should be careful. I will go up and check it myself."

Sun Tong got on the boat and looked at Wen Tianxiang carefully. He saw that he was tall and handsome, as beautiful as jade, with beautiful eyebrows and long eyes. He looked at him and believed for five or six points. When he saw the seal document, he immediately bowed and said, "Little Ignorant people offend my husband and beg for forgiveness." Wen Tianxiang said: "It's your duty, what's the crime? Get up and speak."

"Thank you, Mr. Sun." Sun Tong stood up and stood beside him with his hands tied, his face full of excitement.

This is seeing a living idol.

In the fourth year of Baoyou's reign (1256), Wen Tianxiang passed the imperial examination and became the number one scholar. His articles were leaked and attracted the attention of the world.

In the first year of Kaiqing (1259), the Yuan army invaded the south in a large scale. The eunuch Dong Songchen suggested that Lizong move the capital. No one in the court dared to criticize it. Only Wen Tianxiang, who was the judge of Ning Haijun at that time, wrote a letter requesting that Dong Songchen be killed to unify. Although it was not adopted by people's hearts, it became famous.

Later, Jia Sidao monopolized power, so that he became an official and threatened Lizong. Wen Tianxiang, who was in charge at the time, drafted an edict to satirize him, and was dismissed because of Jia Sidao's jealousy.

Although he retreated to the countryside, Wen Tianxiang's reputation grew.

Later, he resumed his duties and served successively as the jailer of Hunan Road in Tidianjing and the governor of Ganzhou. During his tenure, he dared to give advice, acted with principles, was honest and dignified, and was praised by everyone at the time.

Last year, the imperial court ordered the world's soldiers and horses to be diligent in the king, and there were countless civilized and martial arts in the world. There were only three people who led the troops and horses to Lin'an to serve the king, namely Jiang Wanzai, Zhang Shijie and Wen Tianxiang.

At that time, Wen Tianxiang spent all his wealth to recruit troops, and his friends advised him: "Now the soldiers are marching with drums in three directions, destroying the suburbs and thinning the interior. You have gathered tens of thousands of people to attack them. How is it different from driving sheep and fighting fierce tigers?"

Wen Tianxiang replied: "I also know this. The country has raised ministers for more than [-] years. Once there is an emergency, the army from all over the world is conquered, and no one can enter the country. I hate this deeply, so I do not overestimate my ability, and If you favor yourself, there will be loyal ministers and righteous people in the world who will rise up when they hear the news. The victors of righteousness seek to establish themselves, and the people of the people contribute to them. If this is the case, the country will still be safe."

Who wouldn't respect and love such a person?
So when Zhao heard Wen Tianxiang's arrival, he immediately ran to the dock and looked forward to it.

Not only the emperor came, but also the common people heard that Wen Tianxiang was coming, and gathered their friends and company to watch.

For a time, the area near the pier was overcrowded, and additional guards had to be sent to maintain order.

Seeing that Zhao Shi came to greet him in person, Wen Tianxiang was very moved. After getting off the boat quickly, he bowed his head and bowed, saying: "The minister Wen Tianxiang pays homage to His Majesty. I have ordered a peace negotiation. Now that the peace negotiation has failed, I am here to return."

"I know all about Qing's suffering!" Zhao Shi helped Wen Tianxiang up, seeing how damaged his clothes were, he couldn't help taking off his coat, but just as he handed it out, he stopped in embarrassment.

He is not short, but he is only eight years old after all. Wen Tianxiang can only wear his coat around his waist, and he will definitely not be able to wear it.

Wen Tianxiang was even more moved, and said: "Your Majesty loves me so much, I am ashamed to accept it."

After saying that, he took the clothes and put them on his body.

Behind him, Chen Yizhong's eyes turned green with envy.

To tell the truth, Zhao Shi respected him very much as a minister on the left and as a father on the right, but without comparison, there would be no harm. When Zhao Shi saw Wen Tianxiang, he directly undressed him. Who wouldn't be envious, jealous, and hateful of such an intimate relationship?

Zhao Shi patted the back of Wen Tianxiang's hand and said: "You were detained under the imperial edict to discuss peace. You escaped by chance, but there were many misunderstandings. You are able to turn around. It is really the blessing of the emperor. Once you enter the city, I will hold a banquet to welcome you and wash away your dust."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wen Tianxiang said, "I went to the Yuan army camp, and there were countless others. Only three of them returned with me. Please give me your compliments."

Wen Tianxiang introduced the names of the three attendants, namely Du Hu, Lu Wu and Li Cheng, and also introduced the captain Yuan Ming.

Zhao Shi praised: "They are all loyal and courageous people. You will live up to the country, and the country will live up to you. They will accompany you to the banquet, and each will be appointed."

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." The four of them bowed.

Zhao Shi took Wen Tianxiang and walked into the city. Wen Tianxiang was half a step behind, exchanging greetings while looking around the city.

When Wen Tianxiang saw that the city was in order and the people were relaxed and smiling, he knew that Wenzhou was well governed and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty is fair and strict, loves the people, and destroys large households to divide their fields. Therefore, everyone in Wenzhou supports him." Lu Xiufu explained.

Wen Tianxiang said: "Your Majesty is entrusted with the destiny of Heaven and is wise and wise. If I can turn around, it must be God's will to assist Your Majesty in restoring the country."
