Chapter 24: From Mobei to Jiangnan (seeking to pursue reading and investment)

Song Lian bowed his hands respectfully to Chen Sijiu and said, "Thank you, Master Tao, for your advice."

He looked at the lama on the top of the mountain and summoned the ant-like Han slaves, and sighed in a low voice: "My trip was originally recommended by Wei Su, the assistant teacher of the Imperial College, to go to Shangdu to compile the Dayuan Records. Now I want to come, and these slaves What's the benefit?"

"I'll turn my horse around and go back to Dadu. I'll thank Wei Su first and then go back to the south of the Yangtze River. From then on, I will live in seclusion in Xianhua Mountain and concentrate on cultivating Taoism, and I will never go out of the mountain again."

Seeing him on the road, Chen Sijiu thought that these scholars really know everything. No wonder scholars can bring disaster to the country and the people, like Qin Hui who killed Yue Wumu. People do business, but they read the same book of sages, some are loyal and good generals, and some are evil and treacherous.

He grinned and said: "You don't have to be so pessimistic. Looking at the current situation in Dayuan, there is only one short step. That is the last straw that broke the camel's back. You live in a hut in Xianhua Mountain and write books. Work, cultivate yourself first, and no matter how the world situation changes in the future, sooner or later you, Song Lian, will have a place to live."

Song Lian's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Chen Sijiu saw that Song Lian was full of fame and wealth, and laughed and scolded: "We think that your Taoist name should be changed, Xuan Zhenzi is not suitable for you."

Song Lian asked suspiciously, "Master Dao, why did you say that?"

Chen Sijiu squinted his eyes and said meaningfully: "Although you are full of knowledge, your eyes are always focused on fame and fortune. Why don't you change your Taoist name and go back to Xianhua Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River to concentrate on cultivating Taoism? In the future, you should stop calling yourself Xuanzhenzi and use Longmenzi as your Taoist name." Well, the heroes who know your ambitions will naturally come to Xianhua Mountain to visit the thatched cottage, and invite you to jump over the Dragon Gate."

Song Lian was so ashamed, his face turned red, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Thank you, Daoist, for calling."

Chen Sijiu said curiously: "Dial? I have never called you, so you don't have to be so ashamed. Since the fall of Hebei at the end of Tang Dynasty, after the fall of Yanyun in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, for nearly 600 years, Liao, Jin, Xixia, Dali, Tubo In the Great Song Dynasty, the kingdoms took turns to fight endlessly. Although Kublai Khan rebuilt the artifacts and reshaped the territory of China, he did not know how to govern the country, and now the Dayuan is in danger of losing the artifacts in an instant."

"I see that you, a Confucian scholar, have the world in mind. Although you have a good eye and are obsessed with fame, there is nothing wrong with it. You have learned literary and martial arts and sold it to the emperor's family. Scholars of your generation were suppressed in Dayuan. Thinking about it is a common thing, the so-called never forgetting, there must be echoes, sooner or later, some scholars will come out to support the artifact, without you Longmenzi, there will be carp roe, toad, and someone will stand up in the end."

It is also speechless to say that although the Mongolian main tribe has only a few hundred thousand people, they can control the territory of the Yuan Dynasty.

All of this is related to the severe division of China between the north and the south.

More than 500 years from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the present, the territory has been torn apart, and the customs and habits of the north and the south are very different. In addition, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin State destroyed the Liao State, and fought with Mongolia to fight the Jin State, which angered many Han people in the Liao State and Jin State in the north. Therefore, Liu Bingzhong, Yelu Chucai and others under Kublai Khan later despised and discriminated against the southern Han people.

Why do northern Han people discriminate against southern Han people?

The Southern Song Dynasty made great efforts to destroy the Liao Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. Liu Bingzhong and other northerners hated it deeply. Although Yelu Chucai was famous for a generation, he also hated the people of the Southern Song Dynasty for abandoning the Tanyuan alliance of the Liao Kingdom. A country of brothers, but the Southern Song Dynasty was treacherous.

Therefore, even though Yelu Chucai knew that discrimination against Han people in the south would cause great disaster, he did not stop it.

Up to now, there are still many conflicts between the northern and southern Han people in the Yuan Dynasty. The Han people who survived the Liao and Jin Dynasties in the north believed that the Southern Song Dynasty had broken their promises and called the southerners "Nanmanzi". chicken".

In the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian tribes, as well as the Semu people and the Fanseng lamas, took advantage of the contradictions between the northern and southern Han people to gain power, divided and ruled, and divided and transformed. It has only been a few decades since Kublai Khan’s death. Now, the set he used has been unable to suppress the differences in various places in Dayuan, and the contradictions between the local government and the court have become more and more serious. People of insight who have read a little can see that the artifacts of Dayuan are falling apart. In an instant.

However, Dayuan could still suppress it with bravery, so all forces, such as the Han Shantong Bailian Sect and the Ming Sect, were secretly accumulating strength and waiting for an opportunity.

Song Lian's face was flushed when he heard this, panting heavily, his eyes sparkling, he cupped his hands to Chen Sijiu and said, "Thank you Daoist for ordering, I will be called Song Longmen from now on, and I will use Longmenzi as my Taoist name!"

Chen Sijiu said: "If you can serve the country and the people in the future, you must bear in mind that the world is your responsibility. In the words of our master, your generation of scholars should wish for the rise of China!"

Song Lian nodded heavily.

However, he immediately felt a little disappointed: "It's a pity that as long as the great emperor is still a Mongol, the Han people in the south of my Yuan Dynasty will never have a bright future. I came to Shangdu this time because I heard that the emperor who is about to ascend the throne is happy." Mu'er, deeply sinicized, once received Buddhist teachings from Han monks at Jingjiang Temple in Guangxi, and he is proficient in Confucianism, especially good at calligraphy, so he thought he would try his luck."

Chen Sijiu couldn't help but sigh.

I see that all living beings are suffering, but there is no medicine for suffering.

There are so many scholars in Dayuan, who indulge in brothels and brothels, and take pleasure in peach poems and green tunes, are they not getting drunk to avoid the Qin Dynasty?

Where can Taoyuan avoid Qin...

He sighed and said: "It's useless, you are just a scholar after all, our master also said that in Dayuan, even if you become a land god, you can't save the people of Dayuan. If you want to live in Xianhua Mountain and practice Taoism, and wait for the situation in the world, my Taoist sect lives in seclusion and goes out of the mountain in troubled times. If the saint is revived and you should go out of the mountain, you can go out of the mountain earlier."

"In another ten years or so, the world will see its conclusion."

Chen Sijiu's last words shocked Song Lian.

He asked puzzledly, "Master Taoist, why did you say that?"

Chen Sijiu glanced at him, grinned and said, "Pinch your fingers and count."

Song Lian's eyes flickered when he heard the words, and he lowered his head to think for a moment. This Daoist is actually about the same age as himself, but he is skilled in speech and has extraordinary courage. He is definitely not an ordinary Taoist. Those who run around for a living, can use money to practice martial arts, and spend time reading and learning are mostly from powerful families.

Take Song Lian as an example.

Although he was born in poverty, he was born in a Confucian family, but his ancestors were also brilliant.

The poor family is not cold, it's just declining.

He bowed to Chen Sijiu, turned around and led the skinny horse, and headed towards the metropolis, Beiping.

From the metropolis of Beiping, take the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Tongji Canal to return to the south of the Yangtze River.Since then, Song Lian, son of Xuanzhen, has been lost in the world, and Song Lian, son of Longmen, has become more.

Both Chen Sijiu and Peng Yingyu stood, watching Song Lian walk away.

Peng Yingyu rubbed the scab on her chest, took out a lump of black mud balls, sniffed at the wing of her nose, rubbed her nose, threw away the black mud balls, and asked doubtfully: "Big man, what did you say to this Confucian scholar?" , why didn't he go to Shangdu?"

Chen Sijiu looked at his back and said, "He suddenly realized the Tao."

"Why the Tao?"

Peng Yingyu asked.

"He wanted fame and fortune, so he went to live in seclusion in the mountains to build a hut, and cultivate more fame, which will come from fame and fortune."

Peng Yingyu stretched out her hand and scratched her crotch again, frowned suspiciously and said, "Why do you get fame and fortune when you live in seclusion in the mountains? There are emperors of the Yuan Dynasty here, and in Shangdu and Dadu, wouldn't it be easier to get fame and fortune?"

Chen Sijiu grinned and said: "The rich have distant relatives in the deep mountains, and the poor are in the downtown areas where no one asks. If he is in Shangdu, he is just a running dog of the Imperial College. If he lives in seclusion in Xianhua Mountain, the more famous he is, the more afraid the emperor of Dayuan will be." The more you want to invite him out of the mountain to be an official, just like my three masters, they are far away in the Sanxian Cave in Liaoyang. There will be more and more."

Peng Yingyu was puzzled again: "Why? In our Gada, Confucian households have to bow their heads when they see prostitutes. Many official prostitutes also keep many white-faced and green-capped scholars who write songs for them. Ben, is it a good thing to have more Confucian scholars?"

Chen Sijiu was very patient, and said with a light smile: "You know that in the Song Dynasty, scholars could be officials, and generals who commanded a hundred thousand troops had to kneel when they saw Jinshi. kneel?"

Peng Yingyu scratched her head, her eyes lit up, and she said with an oh: "I understand, if Dayuan doesn't treat Confucian scholars as human beings, Confucian scholars will rebel. This is called Song Lian's pursuit of fame. come."

As he spoke, his face froze, showing a disgusted expression, and he said through gritted teeth: "I don't seek fame, I just want to kill all the monks and lamas in the world, as well as the elders of the Western Cross Temple. Han monks become monks."

As he spoke, he carefully looked at Chen Sijiu.

"Big, big man, can you teach me martial arts?"

"I heard you say that your Mo Dao is dedicated to killing injustice and injustice in the world. I also imagine that you are like this."

Chen Sijiu laughed, and moved Peng Yingyu's head.

"Little novice, let's not call him a big man, let's call him Chen Sijiu."

"If you want to learn martial arts, don't you kneel down and kowtow three times?"

Without any hesitation, Peng Yingyu knelt down and made three loud bangs: "Master Chen Sijiu, I, Peng Yingyu, worship you as my teacher, please teach me martial arts!"

He thought for a while, and then said: "I have dedicated my life to beheading injustice and killing injustice. If I violate this oath, I will fall into prison forever!"

Chen Sijiu grinned, very happy, showing his white teeth, looked at the sky and murmured in a low voice: "Master, Master, Master, and Master, and Third Master, have you seen that we also have apprentices."
