Yuan Dynasty, the 19th year of Zhizheng, the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Dadu.
Kublai Khan ordered Wen Tianxiang to be beheaded at noon that day.
In fact, Kublai Khan was reluctant to kill Wen Tianxiang. Even after killing Wen Tianxiang, he played a trick of keeping someone alive, but it was a pity that it was too late.
Before the killing, the surrendered ministers and emperors of the Song Dynasty took turns to persuade Wen Tianxiang to surrender, but none of them could say anything to Wen Tianxiang. It could be said that they had hit countless snags.
Seeing that Wen Tianxiang was upright and unyielding, Kublai Khan originally intended to release him, but someone suggested that Wen Tianxiang had to be killed because the stars in the sky were impacting Zifu.
After Wen Tianxiang died, later generations said with emotion: The death of the Song Dynasty... was not caused by the collapse of Yashan, but by the massacre of Yanshi.
This means that Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea from a cliff mountain with the young emperor on his back, which did not mean the demise of the Song Dynasty; Wen Tianxiang was killed in Beijing, which really meant that this great dynasty, which had been inherited for 319 years, officially came to an end.
Wen Tianxiang’s story is familiar to many and has inspired countless people.
Ye Wumian knew that Yu Qian was the one who saved the country from danger and the people from ruin, so he inspired Wen Tianxiang.
Wen Tianxiang was once awarded the title of Shaobao. After Yu Qian won the battle to defend Beijing, he resigned from various titles and was only granted the title of Prince Shaobao. I am afraid it is because of his respect for Wen Tianxiang!
Counting with fingers, Wen Tianxiang was already a figure 240 or 50 years ago. Now the stars have changed and the world has changed. Today, in Wugong Mountain, you can meet his descendants.
For a moment, a feeling of blending blood and history stirred in my heart.
The dusty and tired pupils seemed to have parted the eyelashes of years, moist and bright, looking at the shining stars in the sky, shining brightly.
Ye Wumian clasped his fists and said in awe, "'Heaven and earth have righteousness and are mixed with manifolds'. I didn't expect Brother Wen to be a descendant of Duke Wen Zhong, what a disrespect!"
When he heard that Wen Jia was Wen Zhengming's son, Ye Wumian was not moved at all. Although Tang Bohu and Wen Zhengming were both outstanding literary talents of this era, they were not admired by Ye Wumian after all.
Wen Tianxiang is the object of admiration and admiration for countless people with lofty ideals in future generations.
Wen Jia also returned the gift solemnly and stayed awake all night, saying: "'It's time to see the time and the festival, and we will draw pictures one by one'! As a descendant of Wen Tianxiang, Xiao Ke has not made any achievements, which is an insult to the sages."
Sleepless Night uses Wen Tianxiang's "Song of Righteousness" as an introduction, and Wen Jia also uses "Song of Righteousness" as a counterpoint.
But what he didn't say was that this year, the first year of Jiajing, his father Wen Zhengming took the Yingtianfu Township Examination for the ninth time and still failed.
Although Mr. Wen Zhengming's family was relatively well-off and he had no worries about food and clothing, he failed to pass the exam nine times. Compared with his brother Tang Bohu, who came first in the exam, he felt embarrassed.
He felt deeply that he was unworthy of his ancestors, so he sent Zhongzi Wenjia to Wugong Mountain to worship his ancestors.
Ye Wumian recalled the history books he had read and raised a question:
"It seems that Lieutenant Wen Zhong is not a martial artist. Brother Wen, why do you come here to worship your ancestors?"
Wen Jia nodded with a smile and said: "Our ancestor Wen Tianxiang is from Luling, Ji'an, not from Wugong Mountain. What Brother Luo said is correct. However, what Brother Luo doesn't know is..."
He pointed to the Golden Summit far above the mountain top and said: "Wen Tianxiang's father, Wen Yi, once came to the Golden Summit of Wugong Mountain to pray for an heir. When he returned, he dug a well under the ginkgo tree on the Santianmen high platform. , the well water is sweet and refreshing. After Wen Yi’s wife drank the well water, she gave birth to Wen Tianxiang. Because she prayed for a son here, we, the Wen family, worship our ancestors in our hometown in addition to birthdays and holidays. I will come to Wugong Mountain."
Seeing that Wenjia had taken over his limelight, Yin Tai kept talking and won Ye Wumian's attention. He was afraid that such a "beauty" would stop paying attention to him and start paying attention to Wenjia. He quickly said:
"Yes, yes! To this day, there is an endless stream of devout men and women who come to Wugong Mountain to beg for a child! Look, the woman with the empty baby in her arms and a pious face is probably here to beg for a child!"
Looking along his fingers, Ye Wumian saw a woman at the bottom of the mountain road, surrounded by servants and servants, walking hard on the mountain road.
The mountain road here is already quite narrow, steep, and rocky, making it very difficult to walk.
Jiang Pan used to ride a horse, but now he can no longer ride it. If he is not careful, he will fall off the horse and fall down the mountain, so he can only walk.
The woman holding the empty swaddling clothes was sweating all over and panting. Even though a servant was holding an umbrella for her, they were too preoccupied with themselves and half of her plump body was still wet.
Despite this, the woman gritted her teeth and continued to walk with her waist bent. She only looked up at the thousand-foot-high golden dome from time to time and sighed with joy.
Seeing this scene, Ye Wumian was not moved by her perseverance, but became extremely frightened after thinking about it.
It was at this time that Chu Yan also looked at him. Their eyes met, and they both saw the meaning of doubt in each other's eyes.
"Before I went up the mountain, I had already dealt with the disciples of Wugong Mountain twice. It was because of these two encounters that I discovered their secret human trafficking business.
Previously, I was curious about how such a dirty business was turned around and how it was kept in the dark without being discovered. Now that I see this Jinding seeking a child, the answer may be obvious. "
Presumably, this martial arts master pretends to be sincere in his desire to have children, but secretly, he provides human trafficking for women who have difficulty in having children...
Just when he was about to think deeply, he heard a cold snort.
The man said: "Humph! Seeking a child is a real thing. The spring water from the ancient well under the two thousand-year-old ginkgo trees at Santianmen, combined with the unique herbs on Wugong Mountain, can be used to make a wonderful recipe for pregnancy. This recipe was passed down from the Song Dynasty. More than ten years ago, that is, my master's era, he helped countless good men and women, and even helped the Song Dynasty to produce such a great hero as Wen Tianxiang!"
Everyone turned around one by one and saw a middle-aged man holding a donkey, slowly walking up the mountain road without blushing or breathing.
Ye Wumian recognized him. This person was Gu Baiquan who provided him with the Fire God Qi last night and burned the viper in his heart.
Judging from the direction he was heading, he was heading towards the Golden Summit. Could it be that he was also going to attend the poetry annotation conference?
People begging for children, people worshiping ancestors, and people attending meetings. This martial arts mountain is really lively. No wonder the postmen in the inn are arrogant and don't worry about the rooms in the inn being empty!
Ye Wumian hugged Gu Baiquan and greeted him. Before he could speak, Xiao Qianyun looked at Gu Baiquan and said, "Since begging for a child is real, why are you humiliating here?"
Gu Baiquan's expression was not very good. It was not difficult to hear the emotion in what he just said.
"Although begging for a child is real, there are people taking advantage of it and doing unscrupulous things!" Gu Baiquan said bitterly.
He quickly walked over, following closely behind Ye Wumian and his group. Knowing that everyone was listening to his speech, he said without hesitation: "The current head of the Jinding Sect, he boasts that he claims to be a martial arts master, but in fact he is a usurper. He's such a villain! I won't say anything else about him, only the matter of asking for a son."
Ye Wumian heard him say: "Back then, after he usurped the throne, he killed my master in a hurry and failed to obtain the magic formula to assist pregnancy. What should we do when good men and women come to ask for the prescription? Haha, this beast slaps his forehead. , actually came up with a crooked idea: buying and selling people!"
