Let’s talk about Liaozhai at the beginning, I scared all the fans on the Internet to death

Chapter 237 Wen Tianxiang, no one has ever died since ancient times. (Please subscribe)

"I really cried after reading Lu You's poem today."

"Me too. I didn't expect that the Southern Song Dynasty was so weak that a poet like Lu You could appear."

"There was Xin Qiji before, and now there is Lu You. I want to say, are the managers of the Song Dynasty so stupid?"

In fact, when everyone got to know Xin Qiji, they were already extremely heartbroken.

However, Xin Qiji's lyrics have always been relatively high-end, and some of them are still difficult to understand.

Some ordinary people may not understand.

Many people will only think that Xin Qiji is very talented and has both civil and military skills.

But Lu You is different.

First of all.

Lu You's official position has never been high.

Also.

Lu You writes more poems than words.

Compared with Xin Qiji's more difficult-to-understand words, Lu You's poems are simply like vernacular.

He didn't need an interpreter at all.

But it is such plain words that he can penetrate deeply into people's hearts and penetrate their hearts even more.

Just like Lu You's "Wind and Rain on November 4th" and his last poem "Shi'er".

[Wang Shibei fixed the Central Plains Day, and he never forgot to tell Nai Weng about the family sacrifices. 】

What kind of belief is this?

What kind of patriotism is this?

……

"Teacher Jiang Ning, aren't there any managers with a certain integrity in the Southern Song Dynasty?"

At this time.

Someone asked on the public channel.

Actually.

Regarding the Southern Song Dynasty, many people who know the history of the Southern Song Dynasty will sigh when faced with this problem.

But despite this, Jiang Ning still said: "Yes."

"Who?"

"Since ancient times, no one has died like Wen Tianxiang."

"Who has never died since ancient times?

Everyone was stunned and asked again: "Teacher Jiang Ning, who is Wen Tianxiang?"

Many people don't understand Wen Tianxiang.

but.

Some people who are more knowledgeable about history said: "Wen Tianxiang was the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, but it seems that he did not serve as prime minister for long before the entire Southern Song Dynasty was completely destroyed."

"Yes."

"Teacher Jiang Ning, Wen Tianxiang doesn't seem to have anything to say."

"It can only be said that the records of Wen Tianxiang in the history books may have been somewhat simplified."

As for why it is simplified.

This is also normal.

Wen Tianxiang was born in the late Southern Song Dynasty. Until he came of age, the Southern Song Dynasty was almost destroyed.

The period when he became prime minister was also after the Small Court of the Southern Song Dynasty.

This small court only existed for three years.

Therefore, at that time, there were not many records about some characters in the late Song Dynasty.

"By the way, are you interested in going to Ji'an, Jiangxi with me?"

"Teacher Jiang Ning, what are you doing there?"

"I want to pay homage to Wen Tianxiang."

Wen Tianxiang is from Ji'an, Jiangxi.

After his death, he was also buried in Ji'an.

……

"Director, good news, good news, Teacher Jiang Ning is coming to our Ji'an."

"What, are you sure?"

"It's absolutely true. Teacher Jiang Ning said it on his blog, saying that he wanted to pay homage to Wen Tianxiang's tomb in Ji'an."

"Wen Tianxiang's tomb?"

The director of Ji'an Culture and Tourism Bureau was startled: "Why is this worshiping Wen Tianxiang?"

"Teacher Jiang Ning is talking about the Song Dynasty recently."

"We have so many characters in Ji'an during the Song Dynasty that we can talk about. Why Wen Tianxiang?"

"I do not know either."

The assistant didn't understand either.

"In this case, we will pick up Teacher Jiang Ning in person."

After thinking about it, the director of Ji'an Culture and Tourism Department said.

A few days later.

Jiang Ning came to Ji'an.

After getting off the plane, the staff of Jiangning Ji'an Cultural Tourism Department.

Jiang Ning also knew what they meant.

He is considered a well-known anchor in KuaiDou.

Especially in the area of ​​tourism, it still plays a considerable role in promoting local tourism.

Many regions have invited Jiang Ning before.

However, Jiang Ning mainly gives lectures. As for where to go, he will only consider where the lectures go.

"Teacher Jiang Ning, welcome to Ji'an."

"Thank you."

"Teacher Jiang Ning, we have been paying close attention to the Song Dynasty you recently talked about. When talking about the Song Dynasty, Ji'an is a place we must mention."

"Indeed."

Jiang Ning nodded.

Although Ji'an may not be particularly well-known.

But Ji'an was quite well-known in ancient times.

Ji'an was called Luling in ancient times, also known as Jizhou.

During the Song and Ming dynasties, Ji'an did not know how many famous people were born.

Wen Tianxiang is one of them.

The director of Ji'an Culture and Tourism Department is very enthusiastic about Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning did not refuse their arrangement.

The first station.

Jiang Ning came to Bailuzhou Academy in Ji'an.

Jiangxi was called Jiangnan West Road in ancient times. Although many people now call it Akarin Province, during the Song and Ming dynasties, Jiangxi was definitely the best among the best.

The entire province has a strong academy culture.

Moreover, the entire province also produced countless Jinshi, celebrities, and prime ministers during the Song and Ming Dynasties.

Ji'an is the most representative city in Jiangxi.

"Look, that's Teacher Jiang Ning."

"I didn't expect Teacher Jiang Ning to come to Ji'an." "That's great. Teacher Jiang Ning's arrival will make our Ji'an popular."

Many friends who came to Bailuzhou Academy were extremely excited when they saw Jiang Ning in front of them.

Simultaneously.

There were also some friends who had heard that Jiang Ning was coming to Ji'an. They also came to Bailuzhou Academy from all over the country.

"Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Ning."

Although he came to Bailuzhou Academy, Jiang Ning did not forget the fans in Kuaidu.

After roughly visiting Bailuzhou Academy, Jiang Ning set up his selfie stick and prepared to do a live broadcast at Bailuzhou Academy.

"The place where I am now is Bailuzhou Academy, which is located in Ji'an, Jiangxi. Speaking of Ji'an, we have to mention a series of celebrities from Ji'an. For example, Ouyang Xiu and Yang Wanli in the Song Dynasty wrote "After all, West Lake in June" There is also Hu Guang, who is a descendant of Hu Quan, a famous official in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the number one scholar in the Gengchen year of the Ming Dynasty, and Yang Shiqi, one of the three Yangs in the Ming Dynasty."

"Ji'an is not a big place, but why are there so many literati and celebrities? I think the most important thing is its academy culture. Bailuzhou Academy is one of the representatives. Bailuzhou Academy was founded by Jiang Wanli, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty. Since its establishment, the academy has attracted many students to enroll. Since the establishment of Bailuzhou Academy, a number of students from Bailuzhou Academy have passed the imperial examination in every imperial examination. In 1256, there were even some students from Bailuzhou Academy. 39 people passed the Jinshi examination."

"39 people passed the Jinshi examination, my dear."

As soon as the live broadcast started, everyone was stunned.

To know.

In the Song Dynasty, there was a scientific examination every three years, and the number of general Jinshi candidates was only about 200 to 300.

But these more than 200 people are distributed throughout the country and must be shared equally across the country.

But from Bailuzhou Academy, 39 people directly became Jinshi.

"Isn't this too scary?"

"What's so scary?"

"There are more than 200 Jinshi places, and Bailuzhou Academy has more than 30 people per family. Isn't that awesome?"

"So, there was a theory at that time."

"What's the saying? The whole dynasty was civilized and military, but half of Jiangxi."

"I go……"

Some people in the crowd who knew Jiangxi relatively well said this from time to time.

In fact, that's exactly what happened.

Just from Bailuzhou Academy, he is so awesome.

Just imagine the whole of Jiangxi.

To know.

Bailuzhou Academy is not the most awesome in Jiangxi, the most awesome is Bailudong Academy.

If you add up all the candidates in Jiangxi, half of Jiangxi is a bit exaggerated, but it is actually the case.

"As for Wen Tianxiang, he was studying at Bailuzhou Academy back then, and later, he also obtained the top prize in this year."

Jiang Ning said immediately.

In fact, Jiang Ning originally planned to go to Wen Tianxiang's tomb.

But then the Ji'an Cultural and Tourism Bureau contacted him, and Jiang Ning agreed after thinking about it.

Now that we have come to Ji'an, we should promote Ji'an to some extent.

Say.

Wen Tianxiang also studied in this academy.

"It was also in this year that the then Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty bestowed a plaque on the imperial book [Bailuzhou Academy], which was hung on the gate of the academy."

As he spoke, Jiang Ning pointed to the hanging inscription from Bailuzhou Academy.

"There are not many records about Wen Tianxiang in history books, because he only served as prime minister for three years, but these three years were the period of exile for the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty. During these three years, the court at that time had actually surrendered. Therefore, there are many stories about Wen Tianxiang's deeds have not been recorded, or have been omitted. Today, I will start from Wen Tianxiang's birth to explain to everyone what we don't know about Wen Tianxiang."

at this time.

Jiang Ning faced a portrait of Wen Tianxiang from Bailuzhou Academy.

Although Wen Tianxiang is not recorded much in history, he was more or less a prime minister and the number one scholar.

Therefore, there is still a portrait of Wen Tianxiang hanging in Bailuzhou Academy.

Facing everyone, Jiang Ning said:

"Wen Tianxiang has been a handsome boy and a talented person since he was a child. He is a handsome boy and a talented man who is famous far and wide. Because Ji'an is a geomantic treasure land, there are many celebrities here. As we just mentioned, people like Ouyang Xiu, Hu Quan, Yang Bangyi... ...These people. Therefore, at that time, many academies would also have portraits of these famous officials. However, what attracted Wen Tianxiang, in addition to the fact that they were celebrities, was that the posthumous titles of these celebrities all had the character "loyalty". .

For example, Ouyang Xiu was given the posthumous title Wenzhong, Yang Bangyi was given the posthumous title Zhongxiang, and Hu Quan was given the posthumous title Zhongjian... For Wen Tianxiang, he felt that if he wanted to become a famous official or a famous person, he should have the word "loyalty". Therefore, Wen Tianxiang has taken these celebrities as role models since he was a child. "

"In 1256, Wen Tianxiang took part in the imperial examination. When he was answering questions in Jiying Hall, Wen Yunsun discussed strategies with the topic "Fa Tian Endless", and wrote an article of more than words without any drafts. After Lizong read it, , personally selected him as the first Jinshi. Examiner Wang Yinglin reported: This test paper is based on ancient events, and he is as loyal as stone. I think it is gratifying to get such a talent. So Wen Tianxiang became the number one scholar that year."

"It's just that although Wen Tianxiang won the first prize, Jia Sidao was in power at that time. Although Wen Tianxiang had the desire to serve, he couldn't be reused. If it was a peaceful time, it would not matter. Even if he was not reused, the court was still doing well. The country can also be maintained. However, the Southern Song Dynasty was already in danger at that time, and the Yuan soldiers were about to destroy the Song Dynasty at any time."

At this point, Jiang Ning paused.

at this time.

Fans in the live broadcast room also kept saying: "The managers of the Southern Song Dynasty are really stupid. They should not have joined forces with Mongolia to destroy the Jin Dynasty at that time. Don't they know that once the Jin Dynasty is destroyed, Mongolia will destroy the Song Dynasty."

Yes.

The Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom fought for so long.

But in the end, the Jin Kingdom perished.

The reason for its demise was that the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia jointly attacked the Jin Kingdom.

This strategy seems foolish to many people in modern times.

As everyone said in the live broadcast room: "The best way is to maintain the tripartite confrontation, just like the Three Kingdoms period. If three countries exist, then all three countries will be safe for the time being. Once one country is destroyed, the other is weaker. The country was in extremely danger. Obviously, the strength of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom at that time was not enough to fight against the Mongols. The best way was to unite with the Jin to fight against the Mongols, not to unite with the Mongols to fight against the Jin."

Regarding this, Jiang Ning said: "How should I put it? In theory, it is right to unite with Mongolia to fight against the Jin Dynasty. However, this also depends on the situation at the time. In other words, how much the Chinese people hated the Jin Kingdom at that time. After the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty At that time, the Kingdom of Jin captured the two emperors, as well as all the concubines and ministers in the harem, and took them to Dadu. This was a great shame and humiliation. There were even a series of various portraits of the two emperors and their concubines in Jin in later generations. Countless people wanted to destroy Jin and take revenge. Although It was right to unite with Mongolia to resist the Jin. But in the hearts of the Song people, if the Jin Kingdom was not destroyed, no one would be willing to do so. Therefore, if there was an opportunity to destroy the Jin Kingdom at that time, even the most far-sighted people might not want to do so. Destroy the Kingdom of Jin."

History cannot be viewed from the perspective of the future.

You must analyze the problem from the perspective of the time.

Just as it was then.

It is true that many people proposed joining forces with China to fight against Mongolia.

Because once the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, the Song Dynasty will be even more dangerous.

After all, the Mongols' combat effectiveness was stronger than that of the Jin Kingdom.

The Southern Song Dynasty could not even destroy the Jin Kingdom, let alone confront the Mongols.

But even if some people see such a crisis, most people want to destroy the Jin Kingdom.

Therefore, it eventually led to the alliance with Mongolia to resist the Jin Dynasty and the demise of the Jin Kingdom.

of course.

In addition to these, there are also a series of other reasons.

In the end, it was just as everyone imagined.

After the Jin Kingdom was destroyed, Mongolia moved all the way south. At this time, even Lin'an, that is, Hangzhou, was almost unprotected and was preparing to move its capital.

"Teacher Jiang Ning is right, don't look at history from God's perspective."

"If the people of the Song Dynasty had a God's perspective, then the Song Dynasty would not only last for 300 years, but it could last for 3000 years."

"It's useless to look at it from God's perspective. The Jin Kingdom tortured Song Dynasty so miserably. If it were you, you would also want to destroy the Jin Kingdom."

This is why modern people often cannot understand the ancients.

Many times they think the ancients were stupid.

But actually.

The ancients were no stupider than today's people.

Even if you were to go back to that time, you would not be able to make better decisions than the ancients.

"We have gone a little far, so let's continue talking about Wen Tianxiang. Although Wen Tianxiang was not reused, Wen Tianxiang was very talented. The former prime minister who had retired at the time, Jiang Wanli, also sighed when he saw Wen Tianxiang, I am old and my vision is and determination may have slowly deteriorated. In the future, I hope you can use your talents to serve the country and hope you work hard."

"But it's a pity that although Jiang Wanli had high hopes for Wen Tianxiang, the Southern Song Dynasty was already in turmoil at that time, and no capable person could save it. Under the attack of the Mongolian army, many territories in the Southern Song Dynasty were constantly being destroyed. Lost. At the same time, a group of loyal generals also surrendered. At this time, Wen Tianxiang not only did not surrender, but sold all his family property, organized troops and horses, and went to Beijing to serve the king. But Wen Tianxiang had the ambition to reach the sky, But it still could not stop the general trend. At this point, the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed. Wen Tianxiang supported Zhao Shi as the emperor and formed a small court of the Southern Song Dynasty to continue to fight against the Mongols. In the end, Wen Tianxiang was arrested and died in prison three years later."

In the official history, the introduction to Wen Tianxiang ends here.

just.

For Jiang Ning, Wen Tianxiang's story has just begun.
