Legend of Kaifeng

During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, a father and son fled to Kaifeng and spent the night under the Drum Tower. The head of the government saw that they were poor and took them in as the police on the Drum Tower. His father is a drummer (drummers are regular drummers) and his son is responsible for sweeping the streets. My father and I are honest and diligent, and the residents nearby praise them. Everyone calls them "Old Drum" and "Little Scavenger" when they meet, but their real names are unknown.

At that time, literati and poets often gathered in the drum tower hall, chanting poems and painting, and splashing ink. At this time, the old drum always sits quietly in the corner and closes his eyes. The street sweeper is too busy to come over, and he is busy serving before and after running. Everyone is used to it, and no one pays attention. This kind of life is more than ten years.

Yan Xingbang, governor of Kaifeng, is the highest governor of a province. Seeing that the Drum Tower was in disrepair, he raised money all over the city, and it took him three years to renovate it. The new drum tower is magnificent, really magnificent. On this day, Yan Xingbang gave a big banquet in the Drum Tower, and almost all the talented people and famous calligraphers in the city came.

Yan Xingbang smiled and handed it over and said, "Rebuilding the Drum Tower is a prosperous time, but there is a fly in the ointment. Lack of a giant plaque to make the finishing point. Today, I specially ask you to write an inscription for this building, which will last forever. " The guests are full of joy, and they are full of ideas. They made up their minds to show their talents and soon handed over dozens of notes. Yan Xingbang turned over one by one, and none of them liked it.

He frowned and said, "What you wrote is the feelings of' small bridges flowing water', lacking the spirit of' separated by a river'. Please pay more attention, people will understand that today's banquet is not delicious, so they have to scratch their heads and think hard. Yan Xingbang has been silent and sighed: "Alas, isn't there a truly talented and learned person in such a big ancient city?" "

Everyone was ashamed, and the hall was so quiet that even a needle could be heard. Suddenly an old voice sounded in the corner: "My Lord, how can a villain make a fool of himself?" Seeing that it was an old drum, the head of the official class was afraid of making jokes and shouted, "Today is a literary matter. Your mind is full of dross. What are you doing? "

The old drum stepped forward and bent down and said, "I heard that big people are big and small people are wrong. I deserve to hear jokes." Yan Xingbang saw that he looked ordinary, but he spoke well, so he said, "Try it." As soon as the saying "the sky is loud" came out, the whole house was shocked. Yan Xingbang said with a smile, "Please elaborate." "China is divided into Kyushu, Henan is located in Zhongzhou, and Kaifeng is in the middle of Zhongzhou.

The Drum Tower is in the middle of Kaifeng, which is the center of the world. A hammer drums, loud! "How loud and majestic. Yan Xingbang got angry, excitedly gave the old drum to his seat and personally poured three glasses of wine as a reward. The old drum raised his glass and made a "Yi" to everyone. He said, "As the saying goes,' Learn from people and learn from witches'.

You are all learned people and often come to the Drum Tower to make friends. After listening for a long time, my brain slowly began to understand. I've been thinking about the word' ringing in the sky' for a long time, and I'm deeply impressed by the Governor today. I have to thank everyone! "The old drum is very appropriate. There is light on the visitor's face and laughter in the hall.

Yan Xingbang said cheerfully: "Now please ask the great calligrapher to brush his hands on the spot and hang the plaque high." Who can draw a few strokes, who also don't want to lag behind, really cursive, while the dragon and the phoenix dance. Yan Xingbang looked at the table and said loudly, "You are really ingenious, but it's a pity that your handwriting is too small to match the tall Drum Tower." We recommend a famous old calligrapher.

After writing about half a man's height, Yan Xingbang shook his head too little. Just when everyone was disappointed, the street sweeper who had been serving tea and water interrupted and said, "My Lord, may I try?" Yan Xingbang looked him up and down and asked, "What do you do?" "I am the son of the old drum, and everyone told me to sweep the street." Yan Xingbang asked Ban Tou to bring pens, ink, paper and inkstones for him to choose.

Xiaojie picked up a broom from the corner and said with a smile, "It's still my guy!" " "I saw him carrying half a bucket of water, pouring in ink and stirring it, and then he went out of the temple. People flocked to follow him. What a small sweeper. I saw him tighten his clothes, dip his broom in thick ink, and wave it on the paper with ease. Think about it: can the words written by the rare broom pen in the world be smaller?

Yan Xingbang was surprised: "How did you learn such a unique skill?" The cleaner bowed deeply to everyone. "Your seniors often come here to learn calligraphy and improvise. I waited on you, trying to understand. Every day after I clean the Drum Tower, I practice writing on the ground with a broom dipped in water. A bucket of water is used up and still doesn't light up. Every day. "

"Nothing is difficult in the world, if you put your mind to it!" , and they were filled with regrets, never dismiss this cannot father. Soon, a huge plaque was hung on the eaves of the Drum Tower, which read "Sound is ringing in the sky". The font is vigorous and powerful, and you can see it clearly when you stand outside the city. But who would have thought that this famous saying was written by an old drum and a little scavenger?

1948 When Kaifeng was liberated for the first time, the Drum Tower and the giant plaque in the sky were unfortunately damaged in the war. Who wrote the inscription on this plaque is still a mystery, and no one has cracked it.

Yang Jiye sent troops to save the state.

Yang got into trouble because of being beaten. Emperor Taizong listened to the slanderers of treacherous court officials, but he was indifferent to Yang's contribution to defending the country during the Great Song Dynasty. After being demoted to Xiongzhou, Liao took the opportunity to send troops, and the design would be trapped in Youzhou. Yang Jiye held the imperial edict of rescue, and still put the great cause of the country first, and called eight sons to discuss the rescue plan.

Your father said, "Long live, my ministers are trapped in a secluded state. If something goes wrong, not only the land of the Song Dynasty will be saved, but also the Lebanese people will suffer ... "Liulang stood up and said," Please send reinforcements quickly. " Air billow also shouted, "Last time, my child's beating brought trouble to the whole family. This time, I will live up to my father's expectations and do my part to save the driver. "

Your father knew that he was skilled in martial arts and could stand alone, so he agreed to let him take the cavalry first. So Yang Jiye sent someone to save the coachman, and he and Huyan Zan escorted the hay to Youzhou overnight. This story shows the noble character of Yang and his son in Song Dynasty, who put the great cause of the country first and devoted themselves to defending the country.

3. air billow rushed to Youzhou.

Trapped in Youzhou, Yang and his son sent troops to rescue him, taking 500 cavalry as the vanguard. Air billow travel-stained rushed to Youzhou (now Beijing) and dared not neglect him. He stepped into Liao Ying and rushed to the gate, but Pan Renmei, the head coach of guarding city, wouldn't let him enter the city, because in Beijing, air billow killed Pan Bao, the son of Pan Renmei, and held a grudge against air billow, forcing him to kill three doors in succession.

At this time, only air billow rode alone, and running all the way fought many times. Now he is hungry and tired. Scold: "Pan Renmei old thief, you are too vicious! This will ruin the affairs of the state, and I will get even with you after I kill Liao Bing. "

Dalang went to eat in the main dragon shed.

King Tianqing of Liao established the "Shuanglong Club" in Golden Beach in an attempt to kill Song Taizong. Yang Jiye understood the official position of the Han Dynasty and believed in the plan to save Gaozu from Xingyang. He fraudulently presented books and sent someone to meet him from the west gate, and the holy horse came out from the east gate. Tianqing Wang used a heart-turning pot to make Yanping drink poisoned wine, and Yanping knew whether it was good or bad just after drinking it.

At this time, Tianqing Wang took the opportunity to slip away and was held by Yanping. When he raised his arm, a cuff arrow went straight through the throat of Tianqing Wang and immediately fell to the ground and died. In this battle, Dalang died for the King of Song; Jiro replaced the Eight Immortals; Saburo was trampled like mud by horses; Shiro and Balang lost their country; Goro became a monk; Liulang and Qihang escaped from the jaws of death.

5. She Taijun goalkeeper was selected.

Most of Yang's warm-blooded men died in battle after World War I in Youzhou. Only Liulang escaped from the jaws of death and went back to Beijing to prepare for the execution of Pan Renmei with his eight sisters and nine sisters. Unexpectedly, he angered the big head, because Pan Renmei's daughter was the concubine of Emperor Taizong. So Liulang was demoted to Hedong and fell ill on the way. He happened to meet Goro, a monk in Wutai Mountain, and came up with a plan to cheat death, falsely reporting that Goro died of illness and secretly sending him back to Yangfu.

Hide in the back garden. When the border was in an emergency, there were no good soldiers in the DPRK. Kou Zhun thought that Liulang died suddenly, so he turned his back on his boots and made a private visit in the name of the wake. As a result, he found that Liulang "faked his death to hide his name". Liulang cleared the Eight Immortals of their sins, but Zhao laughed it off. He didn't think it was embarrassing: "Now the three customs are trapped and there are no elite soldiers to save the DPRK. You'd better lead the troops! "

Kou Zhun said, "No, the county horse killed Pan Renmei, pretending to be dead. How can your majesty forgive him easily? " In my opinion, it's better to let Chitose go to the border with the Yangmen female general, and Yang secretly transports grain and grass. After three passes to defeat the enemy and make meritorious deeds, it is better to play the role of a saint. Zhao thought Kou Zhun was right, so he asked She Taijun to choose a general to fight.

She Taijun ordered drums and bells to be rung, and summoned the generals and the Yang family's eight daughters: Zhang Jinding, Li Cuiting, Huayu, Yu, Roche, Chai Junping,. Yu Cailuan, eight elder sisters and nine elder sisters Yang Yanlie sat in the back row, looking dashing. The Eight Immortals King and Kou Zhun were full of praise: "Yangmen women are all women, and they really deserve their reputation!"

She Taijun toured for a week, and her eyes were fixed on Du Jine. She is good at archery and martial arts, and Taijun likes her very much. She immediately agreed to let her go to war with her eight sisters and nine sisters. The story shows the heroic spirit of the female generals in Yangmen, covered in women's looks, who advance wave after wave to defend the motherland.
