Reborn Yue Feizhi returns my rivers and mountains

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, the martial arts students from the nine provinces and four counties were already on the scene. A blast of gongs was heard to clear the way, and it was the chief examiner who had arrived.

Yue Fei and others looked up and saw three people sitting in front of the plan in the martial arts hall. Sitting in the middle was a person with a square face and a hooked nose. He had a majestic appearance, but there was a hint of evil in his eyes. He must have been this person. The person is Zhang Bangchang, the prime minister of the dynasty.

The person on the left side of Zhang Bangchang has a full beard, two thick eyebrows with downward tips, and a pair of swaying triangular eyes. He should be Wang Duo, the Minister of War.

On the right side of Zhang Bangchang is a military general. He is tall, has a heroic appearance, and has thick joints in his hands. At first glance, he is a very brave man.Yue Fei paid careful attention to this man and knew that this man was Zhang Jun, the governor of the Zuo Army who was one of the four Zhongxing generals in the Southern Song Dynasty.This person is different from Zhang Bangchang and Wang Duo. "History of the Song Dynasty" writes: "After crossing to the south, Jun was the first to hold troops and made many military exploits. He was a famous general together with Han Shizhong, Liu Qi and Yue Fei, and was known as Zhang, Han and Liu in the world. , Yue. However, in the battles of Hao and Shou, there was a gap between Jun and Qi, and Yang Yizhong was the only confidant, so the calamity of Haoliang occurred. Yue Fei was unjustly imprisoned, but Han Shizhong rescued him, and Jun alone helped Hui achieve his purpose. This is because of his unique mental skills. Far away!"

Zhang Jun became famous at a young age and was famous all over the world for his bow and arrow. During this dynasty, he participated in the war against Xixia and suppressed the peasant uprisings in Shandong and Hebei, and made many military exploits.After Gaozong's southern crossing, he served as the Grand Marshal of the Army, and then joined forces with Yue Fei and other generals to fight against the Jin soldiers and the puppet Qin invaders in the south.I am very good at using troops, and my unit is called Zhang Jiajun. In military terms, he is indeed a famous general who is not inferior to Yue Fei.However, he was extremely greedy for money, and through plunder and robbery, he acquired countless fields. It is said that he had more than 100 million acres of fertile land, and collected more than 60 shi of rent per year, which was equivalent to more than twice the annual fiscal revenue of Shaoxing Prefecture, which was the most prosperous at that time. .The book records that when Zhang Jun was alive, there was a mountain of money in his home. In order to prevent it from being stolen, he ordered people to cast the silver into large silver balls of one thousand taels and named it "No Way", which means that even if a thief comes, he can't steal it away. mean.

Although Zhang Jun was greedy, he had one advantage that was rare at that time, and that was the ability to know people well and make good use of them. According to legend, there was a veteran in his house who slept in the garden every day. Zhang Jun asked him why he was so tired. ?The veteran got up and replied calmly that he had nothing to do but sleep.Zhang Jun asked him, what will you do?The old soldier replied that he knew a little bit about everything, and he also knew a little about things like trading.Huiyi is similar to today's international trade.Zhang Jun then said, I will give you 100 copper coins, how about you go overseas for a trip?The veteran replied, not enough.Not 50 million, but at least 50.Zhang Jun appreciated his courage and immediately gave him [-] yuan at his disposal.After that, the veteran built an extremely gorgeous ship, recruited more than a hundred beauties and musicians who were good at singing and dancing, purchased silk and brocade curios, delicacies and fruits, gold and silver utensils, etc., and recruited more than ten generals and more than a hundred soldiers. After practicing for a month in accordance with the banquet etiquette of visiting overseas countries, the people set sail and crossed the sea.A year later, he returned home with a full load. In addition to pearls, rhinoceros horns, spices, medicinal materials, and horses, he made dozens of times the profit.At that time, all the generals were short of horses, but Zhang Jun had one, and his army looked particularly majestic.Zhang Jun was very happy and asked the veteran, how did you do so well?The veteran gave a detailed report on his overseas trade experience.Zhang Jun sighed and praised him endlessly, and the reward was particularly generous.

Although Zhang Jun had outstanding military achievements, he still could not hide his inferior nature. When Yue Fei was suffering, he abandoned his comrade with whom he had lived and died together and turned to Qin Hui, which contributed to Yue Fei's unjust imprisonment.Therefore, although he was named King Xun by the court after his death, with the posthumous title of "Zhonglie" and was ranked as one of the Seven Kings, he also left all kinds of infamy in history. In later generations, he was even cast into an iron man and knelt in front of the Yuewang Temple. Scorned by thousands of people.

The three people sat down on the stage. Not long after, Zongze also came up to the stage. After saluting the three people, he sat on Zhang Jun's right hand side.At this time, Zhang Bangchang said: "Master Zong's distinguished disciple, please fill in the list!"

Zongze said: "Where is the disciple? Why does Mr. Zhang talk like this?"

Zhang Bangchang said with a smile: "Master Zong, please don't refuse. You must know that if you do some private matters, you can't hide it from anyone even under the covers. Then Yue Fei from Tangyin County, isn't he a noble disciple?"

It turned out that Zhang Bangchang had received a gift from the King of Liang, and when he learned that Zongze had returned the gift, he was worried that Zongze would interfere with it, so he paid special attention to it.On that day, the Yue Fei brothers sent letters to the left-behind residence, and Zongze sent many banquets to the inn. Zhang Bangchang had already been informed by someone who was interested, so they deliberately used this matter to sway Zongze.

When Zongze heard Zhang Bangchang say the word "Yue Fei", he blushed and his heart beat. Although he was recruiting talents for the country, Yue Fei also had real abilities, but in the eyes of interested people, it was still a crime of favoritism. .

Thinking of this, Zongze stood up and said: "This scientific examination is to select talents for the country. How can we allow you and me to select the examination privately? To avoid everyone's doubts, we must swear an oath to God and express our feelings before we can start." Take the test!" After saying that, he said to the people around him: "Come here, set up the incense table with me!"

In a moment, the sergeant below set up the incense table. Zongze strode forward, first bowed to heaven and earth, and then knelt down to pray to the gods of the past: "Xinguan Zongze, a native of Yiwu County, Jinhua Prefecture, Zhejiang Province, received the Holy Grace to take the martial arts examination, and since then You must be sincere and impartial, select talented people, and contribute to the court. If you have selfish feelings, deceive the emperor, pervert the law, and seek wealth while misusing the country, you will surely die by the sword!"

After Zongze finished taking the oath, he stood aside and said to Zhang Bangchang, "Master Zhang, please come and take the oath too!"

Zhang Bangchang felt guilty, but was forced by Zong Ze in front of him, but he had no choice but to walk into the field, kneel in front of the incense table and swear an oath: "The official Zhang Bangchang is from Huangzhou, Huguang. I am blessed by the Holy Spirit. Wu Sheng, if you deceive the emperor, pervert the law, and accept bribes, you will make me a pig in foreign countries and die under the sword." Zhang Bangchang thought to himself: "I am the prime minister of the dynasty, how can I go to a foreign country? Even if you can't turn into a pig when you get to a foreign country, this oath cannot be fulfilled." Therefore, thinking that he had a plan, Zongze was an honest man and only wanted to express his feelings, regardless of what oath he swore.

Then Wang Duo stood up, knelt down in front of the incense table, and imitated Zhang Bangchang and said: "The trustworthy official Wang Duo is from the same hometown as Mr. Zhang. If he is deceived, since he is a pig, the disciple will turn into a sheep to sacrifice to heaven." ." After swearing, he stood up and thought to himself: "You, Zhang Bangchang, know how to cheat, and I know how to play tricks." The two looked at each other and chuckled.

In the end, only Zhang Jun was left, thinking: "What should I do with these two guys making such a clever oath?" He had no choice but to kneel down and said: "The official Zhang Jun is from Shunzhou, Nanzhili. If you have the intention to deceive the emperor, you should die in the mouths of ten thousand people." I thought to myself: "I am a military commander, even if I die on the battlefield, it is considered serious, but how can I die in the mouths of ten thousand people, so this oath is also considered serious. Can’t count.”

Seeing that the four examiners had completed their oaths, they still returned to the martial arts hall and sat down.Zongze thought to himself: "These three people have made up their minds. They must give the first prize to the King of Liang. That day Yue Fei went to look for him. I don't know what the result will be. It's better to pass him up first and pass the exam." So he ordered his surroundings: "It is said that Nanning Prefecture's son Chai Gui has come up."

The flag official here listened to the order, walked out of the field, and said loudly: "The great master has an order. Chai Gui, the governor of Nanning Prefecture, has come forward to listen to the order!"

When the king of Liang below heard the call, he quickly straightened his clothes and followed the flag officer into the martial arts hall.
