Chapter 204 Past Events 4
Outside the study, quiet down.
Yang Shouwen sat on the couch and looked at Yang Chenglie in confusion.
And what about Yang Chenglie? He sat quietly on the couch, his fingers hitting the table with rhythmic rhythm, as if he was thinking about his thoughts.
"Father, are you asking me for something?"
Yang Chenglie came back to his senses, looked at Yang Shouwen with complicated eyes, and sighed after a while.
"Yizi, do you want to correct your name for me?"
"ah?"
Yang Chenglie handed him the poem written by Yang Shouwen, and then said in a deep voice: "Do you think that the clouds in the officialdom are chaotic? I resigned from my seal and took you to Changping to hide your identity, but I was persecuted by others?"
Yang Shouwen took over the difficult poem, "Isn't this the poem I wrote?"
"Yes!" Yang Chenglie said: "When the stonemason left, he happened to be seen by Zheng Jingsi, so he used it to appreciate it. I was curious about what kind of article you would write this time. But after reading it, I found something abnormal.
Do you want to use this poem to cry for justice for me?”
Li Bai’s three poems are difficult to travel, but only this one is very different from the other two.
The other two articles are difficult to walk, either to show the confusion after frustration in the officialdom, or to place the ugly and infringement in the officialdom. However, this poem uses comparison techniques throughout the article, first saying that life needs to be with the light and not without false reputation; then lists examples of success in history and death without retreating. In Yang Chenglie's view, Yang Shouwen is calling for justice for him and grieving for him. It is precisely because of the struggle in the officialdom that Yang Chenglie became what he is today.
Look at him, after he moved to Changping, he stayed under the green mountains, which is a way to seek profit and avoid violence.
He was comfortable and unwilling to return to the officialdom, and was worried that he would end up in a miserable end like those who had succeeded in history.
To put it bluntly, Yang Chenglie is avoiding disaster.
Yang Shouwen was silent and had no answer.
He actually had this idea. I hope Yang Chenglie can make a comeback.
But he didn't expect that Yang Chenglie's reaction was so violent...
Yang Chenglie sighed and said, "I have been avoiding disasters for more than ten years. That's why I hide in Changping.
This time I came to Xingyang, I was indeed a little scared, so I chose to live at the foot of Shicheng Mountain. I have been hesitating whether to tell you what happened back then. Originally, I didn’t want you to show off too much. But now I see... OK, I told you that I am indeed hiding from my enemies, but it has nothing to do with the court."
Yang Shouwen's heart moved and looked at Yang Chenglie without saying a word.
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Chenglie said in a deep voice: "In the first year of Sisheng, your mother died of illness and you suffered from dementia. Your grandfather was very worried, so he took you around and wanted to find a way to recover.
And I, because your mother passed away, I have been drunk and dreaming all day long, and I have less care for you.
At that time, I was a lieutenant in Zhechong Prefecture, Junzhou. Although I was not a high-ranking position, I was in charge of the army and horses of the government. One day, your grandfather brought you back from outside and told me something. He said that when you came back from Wudang Mountain, you met a group of men in black besieging a group of chariots and horses on the way. So he took action with righteousness."
Yang Shouwen felt a little moved when he heard this and hurriedly said, "What's the result?"
"The result?" Yang Chenglie smiled and said, "Your grandfather is like a fiery fire, and he is quite chivalrous.
Although he began to cultivate his body after retreating from the army, Ren's chivalrous spirit did not decrease at all. Your grandfather said that the besieged people looked miserable, and there were pregnant women in the carriage and horses to give birth. Your grandfather naturally could not stand by, so he went up to save the family and even killed the besieged man in black."
Speaking of this, Yang Chenglie took a deep breath.
"I didn't care about this at first. But unexpectedly, I received an order from Shangfeng the next day, and asked me to cooperate with Junzhou Prefecture to capture an old man with children. After a closer look, I found out that the family your grandfather saved that day was Qiansui, the King of Luling."
"King Luling?"
When Yang Shouwen heard this, he became a little uneasy and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Yang Chenglie said: "That's right, it's King Luling and the current crown prince.
Weizi, you didn’t expect that our family is the savior of the current crown prince… You must be surprised, since we are the savior of the crown prince, why do we have to hide our identity? Haha, because the murderer who surrounded and killed the crown prince’s family came from the Wu family.”
"Did my father mean...saint?"
"Of course not. There is a saying that the tiger is poisonous. Although the saint is strong in tactics, he has deposed the prince and drove him out of Chang'an, which means that he has no intention of harming his life. However, the saint is unwilling to harm the prince's life, which does not mean that no one else will. Those people came on the order of the King of Wei... What you know is the King of Wei who died of illness last year."
"Wu Chengsi?"
"It's him!"
Yang Chenglie nodded and smiled bitterly: "You may not know that Wu's family is ambitious, and the King of Wei is more determined to help the saint ascend the throne, and then he can become the crown prince. But as long as the crown prince and the prime minister do not die, he will not be able to realize this wish.
At that time, after the crown prince was deposed, the prime minister ascended the throne, so Wu Chengsi was naturally not easy to attack.
At that time, King Luling, that is, the current crown prince, was as anxious as a dog that was lost, and no one paid attention to it. Wu Chengsi also wanted to kill King Luling, so he sent someone to assassinate him on the way. Originally, he said he could not succeed. Because King Luling was exiled from Junzhou at that time, the Junzhou government did not pay any attention to King Luling at all, and the defense was weak.
However, your grandfather destroyed Wu Chengsi's plan, not only saved King Luling, but also killed Wu Rong, the leader."
"Who is Wu Rong?"
Yang Shouwen felt that the name was very strange and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Yang Chenglie said: "Wu Rong, real name is Wu Yanrong... On the surface, he is Wu Chengsi's retainer, but in fact he is Wu Chengsi's illegitimate son. This is the news I got from your uncle later, and Wu Chengsi trusts him very much."
Yang Shouwen was stunned!
Ah Weng was too fierce, and actually killed Wu Chengsi's illegitimate son?
Yang Chenglie said: "As soon as Wu Rong died, Junzhou Prefecture was naturally shocked. However, they did not know that the person who assassinated King Luling was actually sent by Wu Chengsi. The news from King Luling was that the man in black was actually the guards responsible for protecting their safety. In this way, your grandfather became the murderer who assassinated King Luling..."
