South Liyang national capital lifting wind town/subdues, is the hub of vertical canal, is only a nobody will ask remote village, the short 20 years the lively cities that becomes to be some scale, have everything expected to find, do not lose the Jiangnan famous town completely. 离阳京畿南部的举风镇,是纵向运河的一处枢纽,原本只是个无人问津的僻远村落,短短二十年就一跃成为颇具规模的繁华城镇,应有尽有,完全不输江南名镇。 Has the azure garment Confucian scholar to enter at the back of the small travel bag lifts the wind town/subdues, is not conspicuous in the town of good and bad people mixed up. Now lifts the wind town/subdues to do for the occasion the view: At that moment the northern person of turning over to is bad, the talent of going south is the precious as gold man (Han). Because will lift nearby the wind town/subdues often to hear the horse's hoof to be intermittent in the near future, has the brigade to ride the army to go south unceasingly to rush to rescue Guangling Circuit, it is said that will be the general situation will decide, in the royal government the informer spirit light great people, in the army the big shot, will put forth the strength that will nurse particularly the team that the descendants will send in the going south army, what will be most exaggerating will be as two Liaoning border pass sea calming god needle side some veterans, will make the eldest son of legal wife grandson from fishing a substantive post Commandant perfect person in office in eastern Liaoning border, quick urgent expel the army the grandson, threw the Guangling Circuit battlefield that side, it is said changed, became south drafted the commander in chief Lu Sheng alike military aircraft staff., Naturally prosperity. 有个青衫儒士背着小行囊进入举风镇,在鱼龙混杂的镇子上并不显眼。现在举风镇有个应景说法:当下北归之人都是孬,南下之人才是金贵汉。因为近期举风镇附近经常听到马蹄阵阵,不断有大队骑军南下驰援广陵道,据说是大局将定,朝廷里耳目灵光的大人物们,尤其是军中大佬,都使出吃奶的劲头把子孙送入南下大军的队伍,最夸张的是身为两辽边关定海神针之一的某位老将,才让嫡长孙在辽东边境从捞到手一个实职都尉的过硬官身,很快就火急火燎把孙子赶出边军,丢到了广陵道战场那边去,据说摇身一变,就成了南征主帅卢升象的军机幕僚,自然是前程似锦。 This Confucian scholar has not looked for the inn that has a rest, but directly soars lifts the wind town/subdues renowned book fair, by a 300 steps street is every large or small bookstore Shufang, although lifts the historical considering everything 20 years of wind town/subdues, but many shops also dare to play the signboard of hundred years of old shop, but buys the book person many to close to a smile, is disinclined to haggle over anything. The Confucian scholars have not chosen these to shoulder the bookstore of gold-lettered signboard, but strides in street latter half one slightly to be narrow gloomy little Shufang, although the sparrow slightly is fully equipped, father and son in this Shufang, not only carves the book and sells the book also to work on a book, cannot put out any precious rare book to sell, could not find the fat famous work that type of non- royal government is unable to engrave absolutely, but is valued in carefully chooses, occasionally will have south Western Chu of similar several wandering about destitute folks to supervise the edition or the fence block-printed book, cannot enter into the discernment, on looked at individual to like purely. 这位儒士没有找歇脚的客栈,而是直奔举风镇远近闻名的书市,一条三百步的街道两侧都是大大小小的书铺书坊,虽说举风镇的历史满打满算不过二十来年,但是很多铺子也敢打出百年老字号的招牌,只不过买书人多是一笑置之,懒得计较什么。儒士没有挑选那些挑起金字招牌的书铺,而是跨入街道后半段一间略显狭窄阴暗的小书坊,麻雀虽小五脏俱全,这个书坊的父子两人,既刻书又售书还编书,拿不出什么名贵孤本售卖,也绝对找不到那种非朝廷无法刻印的大部头名著,但是贵在精心挑选,偶尔会有类似几本流落民间的西楚南监版本或是藩刻本,入不入得了法眼,就纯粹看个人喜好了。 Saw that this Confucian scholar walks out, the middle-aged shop owner who is entertaining one group of young guests beams from ear to ear, puts down business on hand hastily, goes forward to welcome quickly, at present this Confucian scholar was the old customer in their shop, the number of times were not many, buying the book were not many, but more than ten years, will patronize almost every two years one time, the most important thing is talked to his father really happy, the father associations of extremely few drinking wine made an exception before one's death once, must draw that Confucian scholar to sit down together slightly thinks, said that was slightly thinks, drinks is drinking can also drink up the small two jin (0.5 kg) liquor. 看到这名儒士跨过门槛,正在招待一拨年轻客人的中年店主笑逐颜开,连忙放下手头的买卖,快步上前相迎,眼前这名儒士是他们店的老主顾了,次数不多,买书也不多,但是十多年了,几乎每隔两年就会光顾一次,最重要的是跟他爹相谈甚欢,以至于极少饮酒的父亲在生前总会破例,非要拉着那儒士一起坐下小酌,说是小酌,喝着喝着也能喝掉小两斤的酒。 The Confucian scholars smile to ask Brother clear/pain, other day he talked over that painted face version «Lamp Land-flora Insect Cry» that cannot be looking, I brought to him. The middle-aged shop owner said Mister Cao confidently, my father walked last year. The Confucian scholars gawked, is somewhat sad, but still took out that book from the travel bag, the middle-aged person said that walked, my father walks 71-year-old, before the elderly man walks, often said that the life 70 were thin since ancient times, this whole life gains. Mister Cao, my father not gets sick without the disaster, slept walked, we were the son, was not worthwhile is too anxious. However before my father walks, may often talk over the mister, said that if before dying, can drink the young wine with the mister, his whole life is really complete. Cao Confucian scholar apology had the opportunity to come to here to walk one last year, but walked at that time quite hurriedly, in addition thought that is not quite convenient, one had only known, no matter how should come. This book you accept, then visits a grave to propose a toast to Brother clear/pain, burning is. 儒士笑问道楚老哥呢,上回他念叨着找不着的那部花脸版《灯下草虫鸣》,我给他带来了。中年店主坦然说道曹先生,我爹去年走了。儒士愣了一下,有些感伤,但仍是从行囊中抽出那部书,中年人笑着说走了就走了,我爹走的时候七十有一,老人家走之前也经常笑着说人生七十古来稀,这辈子是赚到的。曹先生,我爹无病无灾,睡一觉就走了,咱们做儿子的,也犯不着太揪心。不过我爹走之前,可经常念叨着先生,说如果死之前能够跟先生喝顿小酒,那他这辈子就真算圆满喽。那曹姓儒生歉意道本来去年有机会来这里走一趟的,只是当时走得比较匆忙,加上又觉得不太方便,早知如此,不管如何都该来的。这书你收下,回头给楚老哥上坟敬酒的时候,烧了便是。 The middle-aged shop owner teased Mister Cao that me to be possible with a smile not to you money. 中年店主笑着打趣道曹先生那我可就不给你银子啦。 The Confucian scholars beckon with the hand hastily with a smile, so many years drank that Doten liquor white/in vain, where feel all right with you receive money. Right, if I have not remembered incorrectly, your family Yuqiao that child also this/should bank and capping ceremony? 儒士连忙笑着摆手,这么多年白喝了那么多顿酒,哪里好意思跟你收钱。对了,如果我没有记错,你们家渔樵那孩子也该行及冠礼了吧？ The middle-aged people mentioned that brat air/Qi probably, helpless that scoundrel gadget, Mister Cao you do not know not to mention, what poetry book our family/home could not be regarded to hand down from generation to generation, cannot say that scholarly family, can be daily the character who the saints and sages dealt with is not? Where thinks that boy more grows up more does not listen to advice, his thin bamboo pole child figure, must throw the army to enlist, this in the following town/subdues several being better contemporaries, did not run to go to the county city saying that a short time ago together has the back door to dredge, the luck good to go to the south side to go to war directly, finally he came back depressed, I asked that anything did not say, but the chicken crows every day gets out of bed to run to go to near the canal, wanted me saying that this boy was also young, did not know that which in the world had what more enjoyable than comfortably the Shangtaiping day. Mister Cao, the boy was old, when my the father spoke no matter also used, but he listened since childhood your, if the mister, my is not asking him to go anxiously, the mister must help say him, if can twist his muscle, I delivered the mister one set of Western Chu Chongwen hall version «Winter Snowslide Chessboard Collection», that was my father not the good thing that was willing to carry off, urged me to work as the family heirloom to remain, passed around from generation to generation. 中年人好像一说起那个兔崽子就来气,无奈道别提那混账玩意儿,曹先生你是不知道,咱们家算不得什么诗书传家,也称不上书香门第,可好歹是天天跟圣贤打交道的人物不是？哪里想到那小子越长大越不听劝,就他那副瘦竹竿子身段,死活要投军入伍,这不前不久跟着镇上几个要好的同龄人,一起跑去郡城说是有后门可以疏通,运气好直接就能去南边打仗,结果就他闷闷不乐回来了,我问也什么都不说,只是每天鸡打鸣就起床跑去运河边上,要我说啊,这小子也就是年轻,不晓得天底下哪有什么比过上太平日子更舒心舒坦。曹先生,那小子年纪大了,我这个当爹说话也不管用,但他从小就听你的,先生要是不急着走,我这就找他去,先生一定要帮忙说说他,要是能把他那根筋拧回来,我就送先生一套西楚崇文馆版的《冬雪落枰集》,那可是我爹都不舍得带走的好东西,叮嘱我一定要当传家宝留着,一代一代传下去。 Did not wait for the Cao Confucian scholar to say anything, the middle-aged shop owner does not manage the business, ran up to the street in a big way to seek for his more to let the son who the person worried about speedily. 不等曹姓儒士说什么,中年店主连生意都不管了,一溜烟跑到街上去寻找他那个越大越让人操心的儿子了。 In the shop 56 young men and women guests are bored to death to chat, at present discusses, naturally regards starts the one-sided Guangling war, thought to be able final judgment on a person's life can be made only after he is dead and buried time. The riches and honor juniors of these Capital City accents, are the life in the character of Son of Heaven under foot, during the spoken languages maneuver among groups worthily, although the sound is not loud, but others listen to be very loud and clear. As critically punctuated the meritorious military service and skill of royal government everyone leading great general, Western Chu that help/gang civil and military high-ranking court official scolding one, quick spoke of true pillar Cao Changqing of Western Chu duplicate/restores country's, finally the both sides opinion opposition, a side said that Cao Changqing was only Martial Dao cultivation base and Chinese chess attainments is outstanding, made the receiving officer skill of checkerboard the landscape truly, insufficiently looked. The other side refuted Cao Changqing was can not make bricks without straw, lost does not get the beneficial conditions of timeliness , favorable geographical conditions , and unity and coordination of the people in Western Chu, not that big end game chess muscle emaciated. Being unyielding, both sides are the best friends, cannot fight, therefore shifted Western Chu the topic finally bewilderedly previous dynasty the body of empress, two young woman mentioned her somewhat to pity, has the femme fatale that the brocade clothes son of the influential scoffed at to say with a smile to bring disaster on the nation and people, after Western Chu destruction, in the work places in old Capital City hearsay that woman went bad the clear/pain destiny, otherwise by the Western Chu original fate, should also 160 years of countries bless to save. Quick has another young man saying that why the world is all the rage „ten sheep now nine not entire” view, is not because that Queen Western Chu is born in the year of the sheep? 小店内五六个年轻男女客人百无聊赖地闲聊起来,时下热议,自然首推开始一边倒的广陵战事,都认为到了能够盖棺定论的时候。这些京城口音的富贵子弟,不愧是生活在天子脚下的人物,言语间纵横捭阖,虽然声音不大,但旁人听着很是掷地有声。随着评点完了朝廷各位领军大将的战功和本事,又把西楚那帮文武重臣给数落了一通,很快就说到了西楚复国的真正主心骨曹长卿,结果双方意见对立,一方说曹长卿只是武道修为和围棋造诣卓尔不群,真正将江山做棋盘的收官本事,就不够看了。另一方反驳说曹长卿是巧妇难为无米之炊,输在西楚不得天时地利人和,绝不是那位大官子棋筋孱弱。争执不下,双方都是至交好友,总不能打架,所以最后莫名其妙就把话题转移到了西楚前朝皇后的身上,两名年轻女子说起她都有些怜悯,有个锦衣公子哥嗤笑道祸国殃民的红颜祸水罢了,西楚覆灭后,旧京城的坊间都传闻正是那个女子坏了大楚气运,否则以西楚原本的命数,应该还有一百六十年国祚可存。很快就有另外一个年轻男人笑着说,为何当今天下风靡“十羊九不全”的说法,还不是因为那西楚皇后属羊？ Not far away that double temple frost hundred azure clothes Confucian scholars, silent language. 不远处那个双鬓霜百的青衣儒士,默然无言语。 The young son of the influential who non-stop holding appreciatively an exquisite ancient copper seal, said with a smile in a soft voice: „Not to mention under the Cao Changqing great reputation its truly difficult, that Beiliang Prince also was really gets down a big dusk to incur, the royal government has clearly relaxed the Guangling transporting grain by water, led 10,000 to ride the army to go south unexpectedly Guangling Circuit, flaunts banner that Jin difficulty is putting down a rebellion, who does not know that actually broke through to go for certain Western Chu remnants, but Beiliang turned over to domineeringly domineeringly, our royal government indeed did not have idea, after all inside others hands is controlling the northwest gateway, was known as 300,000 cavalries, my father has equaled in Ministry of War, was supposing rode the army to have about 330,000. Oh, we also are really aggrieved, if no Beimang, their Beiliang Xu Family should hand over the military power.” 一个不停把玩一件小巧古铜印的年轻公子哥,轻声笑道:“且不说曹长卿盛名之下其实难副,那北凉王也真是下了一手大昏招,朝廷分明已经放松广陵漕运,竟然领着一万骑军南下广陵道,打着靖难平叛的旗号,可谁不知道其实是替某些西楚余孽解围而去,不过北凉跋扈归跋扈,咱们朝廷也的确没辙,毕竟人家手里头掌控着西北门户,号称三十万铁骑,我爹在兵部跟人合计过,估摸着骑军怎么也该有十二三万左右。唉,咱们也真是憋屈,如果不是有个北莽,他们北凉徐家早就该交出兵权了。” The Confucian scholar puts down a yellowing old book, the smile said: „How otherwise saying that the human affairs feared ‚, if’ two characters.” 那儒士放下一本泛黄古籍,微笑道:“要不然怎么说世事就怕‘如果’二字。” That group of people have actually seen this azure garment writer, the gaseous state is good, although is not an official likely, but the Liyang government and people treat the scholar is quite mostly polite, moreover world recluse Yi gentlemen are the so high sign outstanding appearances, these are well-known youngster that comes to come the Capital City officials family, will not naturally approach to this person wicked facial expression. 那帮人其实早就看到这个青衫文人,气态不俗,虽说不像个当官的,可离阳朝野对待读书人大多比较客气,而且世间隐士逸士多是这般高标超群的模样,这些闻名而来的年轻人出身京城官宦家族,对此人自然也不会恶脸相向。 The Confucian scholars smile to ask: „I have been very curious, why that year discipline northwest Regional Prince gently must die to fight the border pass, whether everyone can dispel doubt for me?” 儒士笑问道:“我一直很好奇,那年纪轻轻的西北藩王为何要死战边关,各位能否为我解惑？” Has the youngster big voice say/way of looks worthless people: „His Xu Fengnian is not the military comments Grandmaster, since will die who not dead his Xu Fengnian, why won't bring Beiliang to ride the army to go to war? Lost, nothing but travels, winning that may be the historic eternity leaves a good name to posterity. Conversion is I, same hits Beimang, moreover hits Beimang!” 有个长得歪瓜裂枣的年轻人大嗓门道:“他徐凤年不是武评宗师嘛,既然死谁都不会死了他徐凤年,为啥不带着北凉骑军打仗？打输了,无非就是跑路,打赢了那可就是名垂青史千古流芳了。换成是我,一样打北莽,而且是往死里打北莽！” The Confucian scholars also asked: „Why then he does not collaborate Beimang, near 30 ten thousand Beiliang army, in addition Beimang 1 million armies, together going south Central Plain, compared with winning Beimang, is the odds of success is bigger?” 儒士又问道:“那么他为何不联手北莽,三十万北凉边军,加上北莽百万大军,一同南下中原,比起打赢北莽,是不是胜算更大？” That youngster gawked, said righteously: „ Definitely is surnamed Xu does not dare to seek an impossibility, the Beimang barbarian natural disposition bloodthirsty, decides in addition however must take Beiliang to ride the army as the vanguard, when overcomes the Central Plain with great difficulty, can't Beiliang have tens of thousands troops, Beimang that old woman do not come one to dismantle the bridge after crossing? 那个年轻人愣了一下,理直气壮道:“肯定是姓徐的不敢与虎谋皮,北莽蛮子生性嗜杀,加上定然要把北凉骑军作为先锋,等到好不容易打下中原,北凉也剩不下几万人马,北莽那老妇人可不就要来一手过河拆桥？ In the end surnamed Xu, not only has not profited to benefit, instead cut off the head, surnamed Xu is not the fool, how to make this doing business at a loss business? How does the mister think? ” 到头来姓徐的不但没有占到便宜捞到好处,反而给人砍掉脑袋,姓徐的又不是傻子,岂会做这种赔本买卖？先生以为如何？” The Confucian scholars nod to say with a smile: „This truth could convince.” 儒士点头笑道:“这个道理说得通。” Then as if remembers anything, the Confucian scholar beckons with the hand saying: „I may be unable to handle a mister saying, moreover in Liyang on official, I am not surnamed Cao, you might as well called my old Cao then.” 然后似乎想起什么,儒士摆手道:“我可当不起先生一说,而且在离阳也不曾就仕,我姓曹,你们不妨称呼我一声老曹即可。” The handsome youth exploratory nature that holds appreciatively the ancient copper seal asked: „From the accent, Mister Cao......, old Cao, aren't you Guangling Circuit that side person?” 那位把玩古铜印的英俊青年试探性问道:“听口音,曹先生……哦不,老曹,你是广陵道那边的人？” The Confucian scholars nod, self-ridicules saying: „Therefore then does not have to be the officer.” 儒士点了点头,自嘲道:“所以这才没有为官嘛。” The people feel relaxed, thought naturally is this person because of the Guangling Circuit scholars family background, therefore is unable to be the high official in the Liyang royal government, probably some knowledge and writer strengths of spirit, is not willing to be the lesser official in the Liyang royal government, this two do not fall, worked as simply year to year the travelling four directions poor and pedantic scholar. 众人释然,自然而然觉得是此人因为广陵道士子出身,所以才无法在离阳朝廷做大官,大概又有些学识和文人骨气,又不愿意在离阳朝廷当小官,这才两头不落,干脆当了个常年游历四方的穷酸读书人。 The whole body travel-worn Confucian scholar first is suddenly toward south to going to one, then probably then had the meaning of departure, turns the head to help the young men and women to that say temperately: „I also had ‚, if’ must say with hear, but there is a matter to need to advance one step, perhaps could not wait for the shop owner in this shop, exhausted everyone helped me say one.” 满身风尘仆仆的儒士先是突然往南望去一眼,然后好像便有了离去之意,转头对那帮年轻男女温和说道:“原本我也有个‘如果’要说与各位听,只不过有事需要先行一步,恐怕等不到这间铺子的店主了,劳烦各位帮我说一声。” Has woman to speak to detain to say prettily: „Said ‚, if’ walks again not lately.” 有个女子娇滴滴出言挽留道:“说了‘如果’再走不迟。” The double temple the efflorescence share of original merry Confucian scholars have actually shaken the head to say with a smile: „Has a matter, the committee cannot carry into execution.” 双鬓已经霜白却有一股独到风流的儒士笑着摇头道:“有件事,委实拖不得。” After saying, the Confucian scholar goes out of bookstore, walks toward the town/subdues along that alley. 说完之后,儒士就走出书铺子,沿着那条小街向镇外走去。 His goes north, desirably restraining aura, therefore walks not quickly , because some lifts wind town/subdues bookstore such old friend friend to see, feared them after oneself dies was brought disaster to the mackerel shad by some chance. 他这一路北上,刻意收敛气息,所以走得并不快,是因为有一些举风镇书铺这样的故人朋友要见,怕他们在自己死后万一被殃及池鱼。 The human affairs feared, if, the world fears the eventuality. 世事怕如果,世人怕万一。 Therefore his „, if”, were doomed the world no one to know. 所以他的那个“如果”,注定此间世人已经无人可知了。 If in his end game stage, the Western Chu duplicate/restores country is led to commanded the troops to go north by him personally, simultaneously near the Gu Jiantang Liyang two Liaoning the army go south Tai'an City, but king Sui resists seizing the chance of Beimang horse's hoof to go south, the Xu Fengnian 30 ten thousand Beiliang cavalries because of some surnamed Jiang woman, the choice hold troops. And there is Chen Zhibao to get the Shu army to assume Guangling Circuit, only need involve Wu Zhongxuan and permits Gong two armies, even does not need deliberately to intercept rushing to rescue Tai'an City of Yanchi Prince Zhao Bing subordinate southern border army, because of radically without enough time. 如果在他的官子阶段,西楚复国由他亲自领军挥师北上,同时顾剑棠的离阳两辽边军南下太安城,而王遂抗拒北莽马蹄的趁机南下,徐凤年的三十万北凉铁骑因为某个姜姓女子,选择按兵不动。且有陈芝豹领蜀军坐镇广陵道,只需牵扯吴重轩和许拱两支大军,甚至根本不用刻意拦截燕敕王赵炳麾下南疆大军的驰援太安城,因为根本来不及。 Then the world is surnamed Zhao? 那么天下还姓赵吗？ He does not think. 他不那么认为。 His Cao Changqing does not think! 他曹长卿不那么认为！ After this man goes out slowly lifts the wind town/subdues, takes off the travel bag, takes out two boxes for chess pieces. 这个男人缓缓走出举风镇后,摘下行囊,取出两只棋盒。 And accommodates my Cao Changqing, for your finally under bureau chess. 且容我曹长卿,为你最后下局棋。
