Way of Choices

"Since I was young, my family was poor, my temperament was silent, and I had no friends, no friends or relatives. I eat porridge and vegetables and have no meat. I only like to study. I am still a student except for reading. I have no ambitions in my life. After reading the school, I only wanted to study with her, even though she didn’t have any interest in reading.”

This is the first paragraph in the opening chapter of Wang Zhice's notes. Looking at this passage, Chen Changsheng felt a sense of intimacy, just like when he knew Gou Hanshi's experience before the Qingteng feast, although he knew he was an opponent, he still had a feeling of intimacy towards him, because he also A person who only likes reading.

"On the way to Beijing, in the palace of Tianliang County, I met the prince at that time, then the ancestor, and then, I met King Qi, and then, in Luoyang, I met him again, and brother, Yes, also in the sewage alley in Luoyang, I met Chen'er and I stayed."

"Luoyang paper is expensive, everything is more expensive, but the biscuits are more expensive than elsewhere, not to mention the fact that at that time there was a war every day, after the money was used up, she wanted to resume her old business, I think it was always bad to kill people, she asked me how to keep the house, I thought about going, I still had to go to Kyoto. Even if I didn’t enter the heavenly academy, I could go to Tianshuling to sell some fake extension books. I always thought that I was a scholar who was useless. I wrote well."

"She came to Kyoto with me, and she never left, even if she wanted to leave, because the army of the Emperor Taizu encircled Kyoto, and it was at that time that I learned that after the elder brother left Luoyang, I'm not going to come back anymore. On the day when the city was finally broken, I sat on the boat with Chen'er and watched King Qi, who was smiling while riding a white unicorn, across Neihe Bridge, knowing that the day should be better."

"Your Majesty ascended the throne in front of the Heavenly Book Tomb, but the Demon Army came. Then two years later, the Demon Clan came again. King Qi would occasionally come to the inn to chat with us, and we can see that his mood is getting more and more No, I don’t know if it’s because his favorite unicorn died on Luoliuyuan, or because His Majesty has always refused to know who the prince is. One day he drank a lot, and he stared at my eyes I said that since Luoyang City, I have always wanted me to help him. I don’t understand. I’m just a scholar with no help, and I can help him, and... I came to Kyoto, I just want to enter the Heavenly Taoist Temple. Read a book."

"I was admitted to the Heavenly Taoist College, started studying, and lived my longing life. However, she didn't like this kind of plain life. I took her to see the vines from the palace and the banyan tree at the National College of Education. She didn't like it. , Saying that the forest in Chaoyang Park is too dense and the big banyan tree is too high. The most important thing is that the lake in Qujiang and the National College of Education are too flat. One night, I looked at Luoyang Zaji and laughed. She sneered and said that It seems that looking at the mountains doesn't make peace, and even people like me can endure such a boring and boring day. I know what she means, but I don't want to answer the call, so I have to be silent."

"Later, she finally left Kyoto. I don’t know whether to go to Xue Old Town or to find the trace of the elder brother. In short, she left me. I thought about it for three days and three nights, and confirmed that I can’t change anything, so I continued to study. I just started to think about spiritual practice in the idle time of studying. I always thought that my friends always thought that I didn’t have the potential to practice, let alone the talent, but I didn’t know what it was. I didn’t encounter the obstacles in the rumors. I spent the whole night knowing what it means to practice. That night or the movements I made were a bit big, which shocked a lot of people. Becoming a celebrity in Kyoto, King Qi took the decree of the emperor Taizu and forced me to enter the dynasty to become an official. Many people thought that I would be proud of the movements that night, because of the ability to practice, I was proud, In fact, the thing I really enjoyed was that the small games I made were circulating in Kyoto and even the whole continent. In short, I became a celebrity and started to enter and leave the official residences of celebrities, including several princes including King Qi They all made friends with me, and the days seemed to be happy again, except that she never came back."

"The peaceful and happy days are not sustainable after all. I understand this truth, but I did not expect the end of this beautiful day. It came so suddenly that one day late at night, Kyoto suddenly martial law, two guests came to my house, they They are all guests from the Qi Wang Mansion. They asked me to do something. After thinking about it, I didn't agree, but I didn't think about blocking Qi Wang in the past. I know that with his temperament, no one can stop him from moving forward. In the early morning of the next day, the carriage began to transport corpses out of the city. I stood upstairs and looked at the direction of Baicao Garden, watching the slowly rising white smoke, silently praying not to die too many people, at least those who are familiar to me Don’t all die, but unfortunately things are not as good as expected, and the princes are still dead, including their wives and children."

"I sat at home for three days, did not go out, did not inquire, and the two guests sent by Qi Wangfu looked at each other in silence, and finally, after finishing everything outside, Qi Wang personally arrived. At the moment, he actually took the time to meet me. I don’t know whether I should be honored or vigilant. King Qi said he didn’t mind my silence these days, but I need to show my attitude to the people of Kyoto. Being able to be silent, he stared at me and asked me what my attitude was. I thought about it and said, I have no attitude, so I changed to him and began to be silent, then he turned away and it was the last time that I and him were friends Conversation, because I learned later that early in the morning, he had officially succeeded to the throne and became His Majesty the Emperor of Dazhou."

"I have not been detained, nor have I been put under house arrest, nor have I been sent to jail. I was only deliberately forgotten by the court and those who were familiar with me in this home in Kushui Lane. There is another person who has been deliberately forgotten like me. , That is the Emperor Taizu, King Qi... No, it should be said that your majesty, or because you want to do filial piety, worrying that the emperor Taizu is too boring to make trouble in the deep palace, or because I still remember the friendship between us, I was worried that I was too bored to make something wrong at home, so I ordered me to be the secretary and asked me to go to the palace to accompany Taizu."

"It must be said that life in the deep palace is actually very interesting. In just a few months, Taizu seemed to be hundreds of years old and became a real old man, not as irritable and frivolous as it was. A lot of kindness, he no longer cares about the state, of course, he has no way to care, and no one allows him to care, so he began to care about the outcome of the poker table and the beautiful maids in the palace. I advised the latter about the latter Several times, he didn’t like listening very much. Regarding the former, it was difficult for him to win over me at the table, but he became more and more interested. In that deep palace full of vines, next to the table under the melon stand , I played a lot of cards with the elderly, and I always talked in my leisure time, so I heard a lot of stories, and then kept in mind."

Chen Changsheng looked at the writing on the notes, and it was difficult to calm down.

These are Wang Zhice's self-reports and memories of a generation of legends. He said it was messy and simple, but he clearly described his own life course, which happened to be in the most stormy period of the mainland. , So these narratives naturally have a strong impact.

Looking at these words in the notes, he seemed to see Wang Zhicai of the year, a young scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam but did not ask for an official. He traveled thousands of miles to Kyoto to read only 10,000 volumes of books. Who ever wanted to be on the road In the city of Luoyang, I saw the reflection of a girl, so there was a lot of scenery in the eyes of the scholar, and stopped.

The young scholar finally started walking again and arrived at his destination, Kyoto. Without forgetting the original purpose of the year, he could not live according to the idea of ​​the year. The scenery in his eyes changed a lot, and the girl’s reflection shattered into the void. The official became a celebrity in Kyoto, and then was forced to enter those worlds that he did not want to enter and had never liked.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng's emotions gradually became tense. Wang Zhice's travel notes or self-reports, when he took notes, he had to enter the most critical and most wanted link, the period when Taizu was placed under house arrest in the deep palace Over the years, what exactly has been said to Wang Zhicai, or, next, you might see the narrative of the man who changed his life.

He continued reading the notes.

"There are a lot of rumors about Emperor Taizu, and the most famous one is naturally a change of life, and there has been a saying on the mainland. Many years ago, Taizu became acquainted with the master of the contemporary Daomen, which is the last one in the palace. Pope Ren used some kind of secret method to offer sacrifices to the starry sky, so he succeeded in changing his life against the sky. After the emperor star shone on the earth eternally in the night sky, and after the change of the Baicao Garden, there were many more stars in the sky. The specific content of the sacrifice said that Taizu was willing to leave only one son in order to pass the blood in order to change his life, and the rest of the sons were dedicated to the starry sky... However, after Taizu successfully ascended the throne, he did not want to honor the promise of the year In fact, his sons are so good, who can die? And who wants to die?"

"I don’t know if King Qi and those princes have heard of this rumor. Even if I heard it, did I believe it, but whether this rumor is true or false, as long as it appears, as long as it is heard, it will dry up in their hearts. The branches turned into terrible poisonous snakes, biting their hearts constantly. From Po Luoyang to Kyoto, the great sons of Taizu have been unable to maintain a good relationship, which is related to the ownership of the imperial chair, and now I want to come, with this Rumors also have a lot to do with it. It must be admitted that Taizu’s sons are excellent, but His Majesty is the most powerful one among them. When those princes are still trying to influence Taizu’s choice and wait for fate, His Majesty took the lead without hesitation and killed all his brothers..."

"I asked the Emperor Taizu whether he had changed his life against the sky. He was drunk that day, the old spots on his face were particularly bright, he smiled like a child, and like a fox, he had no front. To answer my question, I sang the wine and sang the local drama in Tianliang County, and kept nodding, as if I were about to fall asleep."
