The dream of a lonely hero

Zhao Guangyi said: "Oh!"

Fan Zhi said: "Sir, please stand up."

Zhao Guangyi stood up and sat down, and said respectfully: "Duke! There is such a genius, may I ask who he is?"

Fan Zhi said: "Okay! No hurry." He ordered the servant outside the hall to pour him a pot of hot tea. Zhao Guangyi was anxious, but his face was as calm as water as he listened quietly.

Fan Zhi said: "You have been fighting with Prince Fu for so many years, why do you always lose?"

Zhao Guangyi said: "Bad luck, God doesn't help."

Fan Zhi shook his hand and said: "No. You lack capable people around you."

Zhao Guangyi said: "Tingyi is not talented, but there are Jia Su, Chai Yuxi, Liu Qi, Yang Shouyi in literature, Dai Xing, Gao Qiong, Yan Yun, Li Bin in martial arts, and there are talented people around you, and we can rely on them."

Fan Zhi said: "Dai Xing, Gao Qiong, Yan Yun, Li Bin can be called brave men and brave soldiers; but Jia Su, Chai Yuxi, Liu Qi and Yang Shouyi are poor and short-sighted scholars, not talented people with great foresight and far-reaching wisdom. ”

Zhao Guangyi said: "Duke! Where can I find a master like you who can plan and see clearly?"

Fan Zhi said: "I am not a master at all, I am just old and experienced. Sir, have you heard of "When the breeze blows, there is no worry, and when the clouds rise, there is no worry." ”

Zhao Guangyi did not understand the meaning and said: "Duke is joking, can the breeze blow away my worries? Can the clouds relieve my sorrow?"

Fan Zhi said: "How dare I joke! You are familiar with the 'Three Sages of the Forest', right?"

Zhao Guangyi thought for a while and said: "The 'Three Sages of the Forest' mentioned by the Duke are Guo Mao, who is known as the 'Qingfeng', Fan Yong, who is known as the 'Mingyue', and 'Woyun'."

Fan Zhi said: "That's right. 'Qingfeng' and 'Mingyue' were both your guests."

Zhao Guangyi said: "What a pity! 'Qingfeng' Cunmi (Guo Mao) left me before he died, 'Mingyue' Minghe (Fan Yong) despised my small temple and climbed up to Zhao Guangmei, and this 'Woyun' - right I heard from ‘Qingfeng’ that he is a student of ‘Mingyue’. Will ‘Woyun’ be better than his teacher? ”

Fan Zhi said: “Clouds can cover the moon, but how can the moon cover clouds?”

Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed and said: “I hope the Duke will recommend me.”

Fan Zhi laughed and said: “Haha! ‘Woyun’ is indeed a talent who can assist the king. Your Excellency should be Liu Xuande who humbles himself to seek talents!”

Three days before the imperial edict ordered him to leave Beijing, Zhao Guangyi packed his bags and took Wang Yande, Yanyun, Yuanda, Ma Yan, Gao Qiong, Wang Zhao and a group of seven people to leave the mansion and leave the capital. This time, Zhao Guangyi was frightened and worried that Zhao Guangmei would definitely put him to death. In order to be on guard, he secretly brought a number of civil and military officials with him, including Chai Yuxi, Liu Qi, "White-faced Mountain King" Li Bin, "Iron Palm Zen Zeng" Mingran, "Violent Military Guard" Dai Xing, "Strong and Brave Military Guest" Sang Zan, "Fierce and Brave Military Guest" Ge Ba, "Jiangyong Military Guest" Fu Qian, "Eight-armed Vajra" Li Jun, "Sai Yingbu" Fu Dun, "Zhanwen Taoist" Liaoran Taoist, "Golden-haired Kunpeng" Li Chong, "Piercing Clouds Tuanpeng"Yang Jiong, Yang Mao, "Iron-Crutched Buddhist Guest" Daguo Shangren, "Good Doctor Yuliu" Ma Shouzhi, "Golden Sword Yuliu" Lv Shouwei, "Five Ghosts of Youyun", "Death-Urging Ghost" Cui Yinpeng, "Soul-Catching Ghost" Gou Yinfang, "Green-Faced Ghost" Qingyinsha, "Impermanence Ghost" Wu Yinzhong, "White-Faced Ghost" (One-Armed Ghost) Baiyinluo, Mi Chao, "Double-Halberd Yaksha" Gao Jing, "Double-Speared Wanderer" Dai Sheng, "Flying Tiger" Bao Zhao, "Flying Mountain Leopard" Liu Hao, ordered them to travel in groups of three or two to protect secretly.

Zhao Guangyi, Wang Yande, Yanyun, Yuanda, Ma Yin, Gao Qiong, Wang Zhao and his party walked more than thirty miles to Qingyuan Town and found an inn to stay. Early the next morning, Zhao Guangyi ordered Yanyun, Yuanda, Ma Yin, and Wang Zhao to wait at the inn, prepare gold, silver, and brocade gifts, and take Wang Yande and Gao Qiong to visit friends in Panyunling. The three riders walked for more than ten miles and turned up a mountain. A dense bamboo forest suddenly came into view, like a jade barrier. They walked along the bluestone path into the bamboo forest and vaguely saw a manor shaded by green bamboo in front of them. They wandered around for a full hour but could not get close to the gate of the manor. Gao Qiong said impatiently: "My lord, what kind of evil demon is your friend who lives in this ghost place? I can't even find the door after searching for a long time!"

Zhao Guangyi said: "Don't talk nonsense!" In fact, he was also upset, thinking: This should be the Panyunling Smoky Bamboo Forest mentioned by Fan Zhi. Why can't I get close to Yuzhuxuan after wandering around for a long time? While he was thinking, a child came not far ahead. Zhao Guangyi thought it was a good opportunity to ask him how to get to Yuzhu Pavilion, so he dismounted and said, "Excuse me, little brother! How can I get to Yuzhu Pavilion?"

The boy said, "Who are you going to Yuzhu Pavilion to see?"

Zhao Guangyi wondered why he answered like that, and said, "Oh! I'm going to Yuzhu Pavilion to visit Mr. 'Wo Yun'."

The boy said, "Do you know Wo Yun?"

Zhao Guangyi said, "Wo Yun is a friend of my friend."

Gao Qiong was so angry that he jumped off his horse and roared, "You little boy, are you looking for death! My master asked you a question, but you said something irrelevant to my master." Zhao Guangyi hurriedly stopped him and apologized to the boy, saying, "My servant was rude, please forgive me, little brother! The path to Yuzhu Pavilion is winding, please give me some advice."

The little boy said, "Sir, I am the book boy of Mr. Wo Yun. When Mr. heard the sound of the imperial bell in the deep bamboo forest, he knew that someone was lost, so he asked me to come out and check."

Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed and said, "Oh! The little boy turned out to be Mr. Wo Yun's fairy boy. I am Zhao Guangyi, the deputy governor of Dingzhou, who has come to pay a special visit to Mr. Wo Yun. Please trouble me to report to you."

The little boy said, "Your friend knows my teacher. What is his name?"

Zhao Guangyi said, "Old Prime Minister Fan Zhi."

The boy went to report, and soon came out to lead Zhao Guangyi to Yuzhu Pavilion. Turning left and right, they came to the door. The plaque on the door read "Yuzhu Pavilion". There was a couplet next to the door. The upper couplet read "One section after another, thousands of branches and tens of thousands of leaves", and the lower couplet read "I don't bloom, so as not to attract bees and butterflies". Zhao Guangyi ordered Wang Yande and Gao Qiong to wait at the door, and he followed the boy in slowly. After passing through the front hall, he saw a man standing there. This man had a dark complexion and was eight feet tall.100 feet tall, black clothes and round eyes, dressed like a scholar, in his twenties, holding a paper folding fan; he bowed and said, "I am Feng Lichen, sorry for not coming to meet you, my dear!"

Zhao Guangyi hesitated: this man is tall and strong, not like a scholar but a warrior, he can't be Mr. Wo Yun, maybe a servant of Mr. Wo Yun, bowed and said, "I am here to visit Mr. Wo Yun, please report to me."

The man said, "Sir, I don't deserve it, I am Wo Yun, my surname is Feng Lichen."

Zhao Guangyi looked at him carefully, thinking that this could be the Wo Yun that Fan Zhi said was full of knowledge and talent. He gradually felt disappointed, but still said politely, "Zhao Guangyi, I am sorry for bothering you!"

Feng Lichen welcomed him into the living room, the host and the guest sat down, and the boy served tea and left. After tea, Zhao Guangyi said: "I have heard of your great name for a long time, and I have just met you today. I regret that we met too late."

Feng Lichen said: "I am ashamed! I am not talented and learned, and you think too highly of me!"

Zhao Guangyi said: "You are too modest, and the old Prime Minister Fan is right! You have a great talent and unpredictable plan. I hope you will not give up and follow me out of the mountains to make plans."

Feng Lichen said: "Master Fan is close to me, so it is inevitable that he will exaggerate a little. I have been misled."

Zhao Guangyi had a conversation with Fan Zhi a few days ago, and he felt deeply that Fan Zhi was very good. Fan Zhi's unique insight hit the nail on the head. He did lack a strategist around him, but he was also a little disappointed with Feng Lichen, who looked like a brave warrior. He hoped that what Fan Zhi said was true. He stood up and bowed, saying, "I beg you to lend me a helping hand. I have worked hard for the country and the people of the Song Dynasty, but I have been repeatedly plotted against by the treacherous officials in the court. I am restricted everywhere and am trapped. I hope you can help me out of the dilemma for the sake of the country and the people of the Song Dynasty."

Feng Lichen said, "I am just an official with little knowledge and experience. Even if I want to help, I am unable to do so."

Zhao Guangyi bowed and said, "Sir, if you want to be modest again, I will kneel here!"

Feng Lichen stood up and helped him sit down, saying, "I am honored by your kindness. I dare not disobey your order. May I ask who this traitor in the court is? He has such power that he dares to bully the current emperor's brother."

Zhao Guangyi sighed and said, "Alas! My brother is Zhao Guangmei, the Prince of Fu."

Feng Lichen went straight to the point and said, "Is it a dispute over the crown prince?"

Zhao Guangyi said, "Ah!" This is a family scandal that should not be mentioned, but it can be felt that it is inappropriate. How can you be shy when asking for advice? Doctor "That's right."

Feng Lichen said: "Who do you think is likely to be appointed as the crown prince by the emperor?"

Zhao Guangyi said: "This - Prime Minister Fan speculated that any member of the royal family is possible."

Feng Lichen said: "Who has priority between you and Prince Fu, Marquis of Yanting (the eldest son of the emperor, Zhao Dezhao), and Marquis of Qinting (the second son of the emperor, Zhao Defang)?"

Zhao Guangyi said: "According to what Prime Minister Fan said about appointing the eldest son, Xiao Ke should be given priority."

Feng Lichen said: "So Prince Fu tried every means to get rid of you as soon as possible."

Zhao Guangyi said: "That's right. Xiao KeI have fought with the Prince of Fu for many years, but I have been defeated repeatedly without the help of a master like you, so I have no place to stand. Now the Prince of Fu is powerful and Xiaoke is almost a commoner. If he wants to kill Xiaoke, it will be a contest between a tiger and a sheep. The result is unimaginable. Please tell me what you will do! "

Feng Lichen played with the paper folding fan in his hand and thought, "If God wants someone to die, he will make him crazy. It is only a matter of time for the Prince of Fu to fall. Now you really have to be careful to deal with the crazier Prince of Fu, but you don't have to be too pessimistic. After all, the Prince of Fu is not the emperor of the day and can't do whatever he wants."

Zhao Guangyi was skeptical, but his staff were all short-sighted and could not be relied on. He could only hope for the genius recommended to him by Fan Zhi. So he ordered Wang Yande and Gao Qiong to pay tribute to him with gifts of gold, silver and brocade. Gao Qiong saw Feng Lichen and said, "Haha! I am dark, but I didn't expect you to be darker than me. Come and compete with me to see whose fists and feet are darker! "

Zhao Guangyi shouted: "Gao Qiong is a mess! If you dare to be rude again, I will cut off your tongue."

Gao Qiong hurriedly said: "My lord, please forgive me! I won't dare to do it again."

Zhao Guangyi said to Feng Lichen: "This is not the gift of hiring a great sage, but it shows Tingyi's heart. Please accept it."

Feng Lichen accepted the gift and let Zhao Guangyi and his party live in Yuzhu Pavilion.

That night, Feng Lichen went to the back hall to see his mother and returned to his room to pack his bags to prepare to follow Zhao Guangyi to Xiongzhou the next day. His brother Feng Wenliang stood aside for a long time without saying a word. Feng Lichen said: "Wenliang, help me." Feng Wenliang turned around for a while and wanted to say something but stopped. Feng Lichen said: "Wenliang has something to say, go ahead. With my departure, we will have fewer opportunities to have a long chat. "

Feng Wenliang said: "Brother, you have always been aloof and not seeking fame and fortune. You regard yourself as a hermit. Why do you bow down for a few grains of rice today? I can't figure it out."

Feng Lichen put down the work in his hands and said: "Why did you become so vulgar, right?"

Feng Wenliang said: "Brother, the scholars will think that you are a pretentious man seeking fame. You must know what kind of person Zhao Guangyi is. Assisting him will inevitably lead to ruin."
