Chapter 49 Lu Yousi

There are so many great poets, and it is not easy to stand shoulder to shoulder with them.Su Dongpo and Huang Tingjian couldn't do it, let alone the poets of the Southern Song Dynasty.Song Ci rose quietly and vigorously, and finally became the same name as Tang poetry.But it was a bit of a surprise. In the development trajectory of literature and art, accidents are the norm. Lu You accidentally became "Little Li Bai" after he was in his forties. After studying Du Fu for more than ten years, I learned Li Bai. Maybe this shows that Lu You has Li Bai's ecstasy. But until his death, he was still thinking about Du Shi.His Qilu and Qijue are very good, not letting Su Huang.For seventy years, he studied Tao, Cen, Li, and Du concurrently, making Lu You the number one poet in the Southern Song Dynasty.

There are very few masterpieces by young adults.The representative work is "The Hairpin Head Phoenix", which spreads all over the south of the Yangtze River together with his sad story. Martial arts are still being practiced.Eighteen kinds of martial arts, Lu You is better at swords, halberds and spears.The length of the halberd is usually longer than that of the spear, and only tall men can dance well.In the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu's Tianfang painting halberd and Zhang Fei's Zhangba spear killed the sky and the darkness.When Lu You dreamed of attacking Jin Bing, he often jumped up from the bed, holding his halberd in his hand.The sound of battle is still fierce in my ears, but the moon is like silver outside the window.

He once hid in a remote area to study Sun Wu's art of war. "Night Reading Military Book": The lonely lamp Geng Shuangxi reads military books on the poor mountain.All his life, he has a heart of thousands of miles, and he is the pioneer of the King of Ge. All the soldiers who died in battle, shamed to return to their wives and children... Sighing in the mirror, An De has long skin? The sword is full of energy, and the sword points to the north. This is also tempering poetry. The poet dreams of becoming a soldier, dying in battle is glorious, and guarding his wife and children is shameful.Is this high-profile?Obviously not.Special historical situations have always been able to inspire heroism.

Lu You became an official at the age of thirty-four and served as the chief bookkeeper of Ningde County, Fuzhou.Menyin couldn't make it through, so he started his official career through the sponsorship system.The official system in the Song Dynasty had many tricks, and the children of officials and eunuchs always had a way.Ningde stayed for a year and was transferred to Fuzhou.Soon, he was transferred to Lin'an to be the official of the imperial decree office, responsible for drafting the decree.He met a friend named Zhou Bida, admired each other, and lived next door, and there were many interesting things in the relationship.Lu You later recounted in the form of four words: "I have to live with the wall, and I receive good news every day...The neighbors borrow wine, and the small garden hoes vegetables. The green lights are shining, and the thin shadows are facing each other. The West Lake hangs the ancients, and wears the bridle together. Compose poems It belongs to literature, which is quite strange. The friendship is like water, and it will last for a long time..."

This Zhou Bida, who would become the prime minister in the future, would honor Lu You in front of Song Xiaozong.The two have had a close friendship throughout their lives.Zhou Bida was younger than Lu You, and died before Lu You. Lu You wrote a sacrificial rite for him. Indifferent friendship is like water, and it will last for a long time.This saying comes from: "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water." When a warrior sees a warrior, he usually has three glasses of wine and will marry Jinlan. Lu You is a literati at heart. In the thirty-first year of Shaoxing (1159), Wan Yanliang, the gold master, invaded the south and crossed the Huai River.Wan Yanliang led an army of 600,000, known as a million, and divided his troops into two groups to attack Sichuan-Shaanxi, Jingxiang, and Huainan at the same time.Song Gaozong reluctantly agreed to meet the enemy under the instigation of Privy Secretary Zhang Jun.At that time, Qin Hui had been dead for many years, and the court's war faction raised its head.There is Wu Lin in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and Liu Qi in Jingxiang. The two famous generals pose a great threat to the enemy.However, the Jin soldiers came fiercely, and the Song army's royal department was defeated in Hefei. Gaozong immediately panicked when he heard the battle report.The emperor suffered from severe "gold phobia".As early as the beginning of Jingkang's ascension to the throne, he hid in Yangzhou to spend time and drink. Suddenly, the Jin soldiers came and attacked him. He was so frightened that he lost his sexual function and could no longer have children.Now that Wang Quan was unfavorable in the first battle, he wanted to escape again, so he made an escape route overnight: escape to Shaoxing first, and if Shaoxing fails, then flee to Fuzhou.When necessary, the government was dissolved, and all officials were sent to their own lives, leaving only the Imperial Forest Army to protect his few buildings that were ready to sail at any time.

The prime minister Chen Bokang persuaded Gaozong to recover from the shock, and burned the written escape letter. In fact, the situation of the war was not favorable to Wan Yanliang's army.The composition of the Jin soldiers is complicated, the generals have been feuding for a long time, and their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that when the horse stepped into Bianjing more than 30 years ago.Instead, the Song army shared the same hatred.Liu Kai's army had fought against the Jin soldiers many times, and almost never lost a battle.The generals of the Jin army heard his name, they were a little bit timid at first, not daring to confront each other, so Wan Yanliang could only go up in person.The two main forces met in Zaojiao Forest. Liu Kai's army defeated the Jin soldiers, but quickly retreated to Zhenjiang, waiting for an opportunity to fight again.

During this period, the Song Army and Jin Bing confronted each other across the Yangtze River. Wan Yanliang's main force went south, and the Central Plains was empty, and the various rebels took the opportunity to fight back against the invaders, and their momentum grew.The troops led by Wu Ju, the magistrate of Junzhou, went deep into the occupied areas, united with the rebels to beat the Jin soldiers, and once regained Luoyang, the western capital.The news spread to Lin'an, and the ruling and opposition parties celebrated together.Lu You wrote poems in ecstasy: The white-haired general is also strong, Xijing wrote last night.Hu Er dares to plan for a thousand years,

God would rather know that one day will return... Lu You's transfer to the Privy Council as an editor is equivalent to entering the Ministry of Defense as a secretary.He watched the battle nervously.All kinds of battle reports flew into the Privy Council like snowflakes.Wan Yanliang made a strong attack plan to cross the river in three days. Can Liu Kai's army withstand it?There was a lot of discussion in Lin'an City, and Lu You was also a little uneasy.That Wanyan Liang was resourceful and decisive. At this juncture, Liu Kai vomited blood and died. Lin'an is gloomy and gloomy.Gaozong wanted to run again.The princes and nobles are ready to move.

Lu You circled the bed for a long time... However, good news came from the other side of the river: Wan Yanliang was killed by his subordinate Wan Yanyong.Hundreds of thousands of golden soldiers scattered to the north. This is a dramatic event in the war between Song and Jin in the last years of Shaoxing: the coaches of both sides died almost at the same time. The people in the south of the Yangtze River thought that the Song army would take advantage of the victory and pursue it, counterattack on the east and west fronts, and join forces with the northern rebels to regain the Central Plains in one fell swoop while the enemy was still breathing.But the people are too naive, how can they understand the ruler's mind?What Song Gaozong worried about was first of all the loss of military power.The focus is on the candidates for Jianghuai Xuanfu envoy.This position means commanding the main force of the Song Army on the Eastern Front, and it is widely rumored that Zhang Jun will serve as the envoy.

Zhang Jun is an old war faction for decades, and his popularity is very high, while Gaozong is an old surrender faction for decades, and the monarchs and ministers sing their own scores.Can Gaozong let such a general fight to the Central Plains with heavy troops in his hands? The emperor issued an edict to let Yang Cunzhong serve as Jianghuai Xuanfu envoy. Yang Cunzhong is his confidant, and his popularity index is almost zero. All the officials were in an uproar, and Lu You went to Zhazi angrily, regardless of his humble position, and ran around shouting. What's interesting: the emperor's edict was rejected by four officials.According to the system of the Song Dynasty, there are four people in the gift, "If the government order is inappropriate, unless the person who gave it is not the person, it will be discussed and refuted."

To put it simply, in the affairs of the prime minister's subordinates, if the four of them win a government, they have the right to veto the emperor.Therefore, if the emperor of the Song Dynasty wanted to be dictatorial, he had to capture the prime minister. For example, Huizong captured Cai Jing, and Gaozong relied on Qin Hui.The prime minister here, Chen Kangbo, showed his trump card and supported Zhang Jun.If Emperor Gaozong wanted to execute the edict, he had to exempt Chen Kangbo first.In this way, the circle is widened, and at a critical moment, the public opinion in the world will be very unfavorable to him. In the Song Dynasty, like the Tang Dynasty, both the system and public opinion had constraints on imperial power. Gaozong obviously did not expect that his edict was rejected collectively.This made him very embarrassed, so he thought about abdicating.When the Jin soldiers went south, he wanted to escape, but now that his courtiers opposed him, he wanted to escape again, and he followed Huizong's example.However, one day in his reign, Zhang Jun would not let Zhang Jun lead his troops northward.He has always tightened the string of military power.This is the family heirloom of their Zhao family. The soldiers on the front line are gearing up, but the court in the rear is so exhausted. Wan Yanyong won a respite, quickly wiped out the Central Plains rebels, gained a firm foothold, and dispatched 100,000 elite troops to prevent the Song army from crossing the Huaihe River. The great fighter opportunity of the Southern Song Dynasty was fleeting.Reverted to bubbles. Lu You looked up to the sky and sighed, not thinking about food and drink for a few days. He was familiar with military books.Over the past year, how many strategies and tactics he has studied.His identity is the secretary of the "Ministry of National Defense", but he is more like a military staff officer. "Wearing the rain at night, sitting up and crying." In his dream, he returned to Shaoxing, where Yue Fei defeated the Golden Army for ten years, and bravely killed the enemy, staining the painted halberd with blood.He drank with Yue Fei and sang "Man Jianghong" together... Wake up and everything is empty.Sitting up suddenly, tears poured down like rain. There are as many as one hundred poems about dreams written by Lu You.How can patriotic feelings be high-profile. Beloved Beiguo, beloved woman, haunted by dreams all his life. The early 1260s was a turning point in the fate of the emperor and Lu You. Song Gaozong, who was fifty-seven years old, had to abdicate to his adopted son.He once had an only son, who died, and was barren after going south.When he heard Jin Bing on the dragon chair, he was terrified, so he hurriedly asked the prince to take the lead.The thirty-six-year-old prince ascended the throne for Song Xiaozong. After Gaozong abdicated, he was the Supreme Emperor for more than 20 years, spending huge amounts of money every day.Xiaozong asked for instructions early and reported late, filial piety first, and state affairs last.Song Ting was equivalent to having two emperors.Gaozong hangs out with his concubines, trying his best to restore sexual function, his limbs are busy, and his brain is confused, but the country's major decisions still have to be listened to by his nasal expression in the wine pool and meat forest. Xiaozong came from a humble background. Although his surname was Zhao and he was somewhat related to the royal family, his ancestors were only a county magistrate in the Northern Song Dynasty.Song Gaozong chose him as the prince because of his humble psychological characteristics. The old emperor planned for himself, which can be described as meticulous and practical. Xiaozong's qualifications are good, he has both ideals and self-cultivation.From Zhezong to Huizong to Gaozong, the hooligan habits of several emperors disappeared in him.He is quite like Song Shenzong, with great ambitions.Having been a prince for more than ten years, he was diligent in reading, for example, he intensively read the complete works of Su Dongpo, which has many volumes.When such a person becomes an emperor, he naturally wants to do something. Emperor Xiaozong changed Yuan to Longxing.Appointed Zhang Jun as prime minister and governor of the right, commanding the army. The voice of the court's main battle suddenly became louder. So there was Zhang Jun's Northern Expedition in the first year of Longxing (1163), but he fought very awkwardly. He won a small victory and then lost a big one. It ended in ten days. History called the Southern Song Dynasty "a ten-day war like a child's play."The two generals were at odds on the front line: Shao Hongyuan, relying on the Supreme Emperor as his backer, refused to obey the command of the main general Li Xianzhong, which led to Jin Bing's counterattack.In the battle of Suzhou, the Song army was beaten to the ground.Li Xianzhong retreated to Fuliji. There are two voices in the imperial court, which directly affect the front line. The Northern Expedition did not occupy the sky.Wan Yanyong's army is no longer what it was when it retreated northward in a hurry a year ago. Zhang Jun went to the table and asked the court to punish him.Xiaozong still let him hold the military power, and wanted to keep the banner of the main battle.Once Zhang Jun fell, the peace faction headed by Prime Minister Zuo Tang Situi would gain the upper hand again. During this period, Lu You was promoted to the military prefecture of Zhenjiang.Zhenjiang is a large state and a strategically important place, and Tongsan is the deputy of a state, involved in major military and political affairs, and has the duty of supervising the prefect. At the beginning of March in the second year of Longxing, Zhang Jun inspected the military deployment of the Jianghuai River, and the buildings and warships were mighty.This is the signal of the main battle, and the world will be strong when it hears it.Lu You "does not follow each other every day", and Zhang Jun also "cares for him very well".His father, Lu Zai, had friendship with Zhang Jun.More importantly, Lu You was able to show Zhang Dashuai his determination and military ability to fight against gold.He wore a military uniform, danced a halberd, and talked about general strategy, and the commander nodded in appreciation frequently. Life is all about opportunities, and Lu You's opportunity came to him.Thirty-nine years old is in the prime of life.Song Xiaozong, who was well-versed in culture, had a good impression of him, and Zhang Dashuai, who was good at military affairs, ordered him to accompany him for days.Twenty years of anger and anticipation are expected to erupt in one day. Fate has reached a turning point.It also includes official luck.Previously worked as a secretary. However…… A history of the Southern Song Dynasty is composed of too many "however". In the tenth year of Shaoxing, Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty recalled Yue Fei, who was under Bianjing, with twelve gold medals; Zhang Jun went out to patrol the Yangtze River and Huaihe River in March, and was urgently recalled back to Lin'an in April. Within a few days, he lost his military power and dismissed the prime minister.The inside story is: the Supreme Emperor presided over the peace talks with Jin, and first dismissed the leader of the "hawks".Zhang Jun resigned, and the "Longxing Peace Agreement" was introduced. The old-fashioned cession of land and payment, and an additional one: Song Emperor called the gold master his nephew. Next, Emperor Song should call Jin Zhu Daddy. Song Xiaozong had a hard time. In August, Zhang Jun, a famous anti-golden general, staggered back to his hometown against the bleak autumn wind and died on the way. Lu You wrote in grief and indignation: "Mr. Zhang is like this, and the whole country is in sorrow. The rebellious captives are still left behind, and the emperor seizes the veterans..." After twenty-two years, the anger of Lu You, who is sixty years old, has not disappeared. "Book Anger" says: In the early years, I didn't know that the world was difficult, and the Central Plains looked north like a mountain.
