Zheng Qian, whose courtesy name is Qiting, has his biography related to Volume 202 of the New Tang Dynasty.

A famous scholar, poet, calligrapher and painter in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, was also a master of encyclopedias who was proficient in astronomy, geography, civilization, military strategy, medicine, etc. Du Fu later praised him as a great master of "Xingyang's most scholars, and literature was passed down to the world". Later generations, his biography was widely seen in dictionaries such as "Cihai" and "Ciyuan", which were praised by many people.

However, Zheng Qian's fate was very bumpy, and his life continued throughout the whole world of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Finally, after the Anshi Rebellion ended, Zheng Qian was demoted to Taizhou and moved to Sihu to join the army because he was captured by An Lushan and was entrusted with official positions or third-class crimes. Since then, he has not left Taizhou until his death, and has retained a branch of the Zheng family in Taizhou.

Zheng Qian's life is also a microcosm of the Zheng family in Xingyang during the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

If you look carefully at the historical books, you will find that during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, talents emerged from all major families, but only the Zheng family was silent.

It was not until after Emperor Dezong that two prime ministers appeared in the Zheng family.

To a certain extent, this situation also originated from the faults in the Zheng family in Xingyang, so that when Zheng Qian grew up, it was the weakest stage of Zheng's family, which also caused the ups and downs of Zheng Qian's life.

However, at this time, Zheng Jingsi must have never imagined that the baby son in his arms would face in the future.

He has discovered that Zheng Qian has extraordinary talents. If he is carefully trained, he will become a great talent in the future.

Zheng Jingsi is also very clear about the dilemma facing the Zheng family. It is precisely this reason that he agreed with Zheng Huaijie's idea and wanted to absorb Yang Shouwen and cultivate it, so that the reputation of the Zheng family can be continued in the future.

When Yang Shouwen returned home, he saw Yang Chenglie still sitting in the study room in a daze.

"Father, Uncle No. 29 was looking for you just now. Is there anything wrong?"

He walked into the study and closed the door casually.

Yang Chenglie suddenly woke up and saw Yang Shouwen sitting in front of him. He smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just want to talk about family matters and tell me that he and Shisanlang will go to Guangwu Mountain with us tomorrow to worship your mother."

"oh?"

Yang Shouwen showed doubt.

"I just discussed it with Uncle Erjiu and asked him to introduce me to a craftsman who can make wine.

Uncle Erjiu agreed readily and said that he would introduce Lu Weijiu from Longquan Town to me, which made me feel very strange."

"Isn't this a good thing? What's strange?"

Yang Shouwen scratched his head and said softly: "You will ask for something from others! Although Uncle Erjiu is a relative, he agreed too readily, which made me feel a little uneasy. If my uncle did this, I can understand and accept it. But Uncle Erjiu is separated from us after all, and the more enthusiastic and cheerful he is, the more I feel something is wrong."

Yes, of course he will try his best to meet your requirements!

Yang Chenglie's eyes seemed very complicated.

After a while, he smiled and said, "Your Uncle No. 29 is such a straightforward person. You are so kind-hearted. You are thinking too much."

"Yeah?"

Yang Shouwen didn't believe it very much.

Yang Chenglie said: "Of course, otherwise do you think you have something to do, and it is worthy of your Uncle Twenty-nine to ask you?"

"Yes, what my father said makes sense."

"Okay, don't disturb me here to consider things. There are still important things for my father. You can go back and rest."

Yang Chenglie made an expression like "I'm very busy, don't bother me", which made Yang Shouwen laugh.

However, as Yang Shouwen left, the smile on Yang Chenglie's face also disappeared. Instead, it was a kind of solemnity.

He stood up and walked out of the study.

Qingnu has been taken to rest by Song, and the courtyard is very quiet.

The moonlight shone through the gaps of the branches of the ancient cypress in the courtyard and sprinkled on Yang Chenglie's face, a little hazy and unstable.

He sat down on the porch, but a bitter look appeared on his face.

I originally thought that I could live my life in a simple life after coming to Xingyang.

Unexpectedly, Yizi wanted to find her young lady back. So she wanted to become famous... Speaking of which, he was indeed very powerful. He was both civil and military at a young age, and even wrote good articles. Since the Tang Dynasty, he could easily gain respect if he could have masterpieces.

Thinking about the time when Xu Jingye rebelled, Luo Binwang, one of the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty, scolded Wu Zetian so much that he was very angry. However, when Wu Zetian saw the manifesto, he blamed the ministers around him and let such a talent go...

A capable person will eventually be respected.

Since Yang Shouwen has such talent, he is destined to be unknown for the rest of his life.

Yang Chenglie dared not disobey his father's warning before his death.

At that time, Yang Shouwen's illness had not yet been cured and she was in a daze. Yang Chenglie didn't need to worry about it. He allowed him to live his life carefreely. When he grew up, he would marry his young mother and pass on the family line, and even if he could live up to his deceased wife's instructions.

However, after Yang Shouwen's disease was cured, he showed that amazing talent.

If he really wanted to follow him to live his life in the mountain village, he would be unknown all his life, and he would inevitably let down his deceased wife's teachings for fifteen years.

Yang Chenglie really believed Yang Shouwen's lies.

The ancients believed in ghosts and gods, and had many sustenances to the deceased. Moreover, Yang Shouwen's lies were so seamless that Yang Chenglie could not believe them. After fifteen years of teaching his deceased wife, could it be that she wasted her efforts in vain?

After thinking about it, letting Yang Shouwen change his surname is the best solution.

It’s not a big deal to follow your mother’s surname.

The only person who will be affected is afraid that he is himself. But when he thinks of Yang Shouwen's future, Yang Chenglie feels that no matter how much grievances he suffers, it is not a big deal. As long as Yizi is happy, that is enough! Moreover, this can save another trouble... Thinking of this, Yang Chenglie subconsciously clenched his fists and had a decision in his heart.

Guangwu Mountain, formerly known as Sanhuang Mountain, was also known as Aoshan, and later locals also called it Mangshan.

However, the Mangshan in Xingyang has little to do with the Bingshan in Luoyang.

From Luotuo Ridge to the west along the Yellow River, there is a mountain that runs east-west. The Xingyang County Chronicles record: The mountains of Guangwu Mountain rise sharply from the riverside, from north to south, and continue to stretch. The peaks and mountains are sharp and steep and steep. The morning glow and evening smoke are abnormal and varied.

To the north of Guangwu Mountain is the rolling Yellow River passing by close to the foot of the mountain.

In the southwest, there are thousands of mountains and peaks.

The valley is deep and the slopes are steep, the cliffs are uneven, there is a dangerous place for Hulao in the west, the grains of Ao Cang in the northeast, and the important town of Xingyang in the south, which is a must-fight for military strategists.

When the genius was in a daze, Yang Shouwen and his family got on the carriage and drove out of the village.

When we arrived at the Han Dynasty steel furnace site, two forks were divided into two roads. One was to directly lead to the Yellow River, and the other was to run towards Guangwu Mountain.

Zheng Jingsi was riding a horse, while Zheng Qian was riding a small white donkey, waiting at the intersection for a long time.
