Wang openly claimed that the purpose of writing Ode to Life was to "urge the death of the Prime Minister". This move is shocking and unbelievable. During the Song-Yuan-Ding Revolution, numerous senior Song officials were captured and surrendered to the Yuan Army. Wang did not say a word to them. Why does he just want Wen Tianxiang to die quickly? Wen Tianxiang committed a heinous crime? Or is there a deep hatred between Wang and Wen Tianxiang? If not, what is it? These questions cannot but make people think.
Regarding the communication between Wang and Wen Tianxiang, there are many statements in the above materials. In Li Shimin's biography of loyalty and righteousness, Wang said, "Walk with Prime Minister Wen Gong and Castle Peak." Ji 'an Prefecture Tongzhiben said, "Travel with Wen Tianxiang." The Tongzhi edition of Anfu County Records says: "Walk with Wen Tianxiang and Zhao Qingshan." Song Shiyi said, "Travel with Wen Tianxiang". Whether traveling or traveling together, the meaning is the same: Wang and Wen Tianxiang had a close relationship for some time. As for when and where they "walk together" and what kind of relationship exists between them, the above materials are vague. What did Wang He and Wen Tianxiang say? Unfortunately, after searching Wang's My Manuscript, I couldn't find any words related to Wen Tianxiang, except for the titles such as "Prime Minister" and "Wen Gong" in Life Sacrifice and Hope Sacrifice. Similarly, we can't find any words about Wang in Wen Tianxiang's works. Are there any classmates, colleagues and friends between them?
As long as they have traveled together, their life experiences must intersect. There must be an intersection between their whereabouts. So, when and where did their life experiences intersect?
We might as well look at their respective experiences.
There are no biographies and chronicles in Wang Zhong. His life story is unknown to future generations. But in his "My Draft" and its appendix, you can find some sporadic accounts:
I tried to make up for yu zhang in imperial academy with Song Xianchun's JOE.
-Wang, My Manuscript Volume 7 Xie Dieshan;
One read less of his father's books and entered business school at 22. In its line, my father's life; "My family started in Jiangzuo, sandwiched in the Southern Song Dynasty, with elegant literary talent and many people of righteousness in history. For generations, Gong has been in the countryside, promoted to imperial academy, and there are many people in the department. However, you cannot show your important responsibility in an important position, so treat you. " A feeling of crying and adoration, I am too scared to forget because of my insensitivity. Before a year, my father died at home, and another year changed. What a waste!

Break rice to make way for porridge, and listen to it. People who make a living from this will not be defeated. Or bury the dead in coffins. ?

-Wang's My Manuscript, Volume 10, Epitaph of the Patriarch Yishan Layman.
According to various historical materials and sporadic accounts in my manuscript, we can roughly outline that Wang was born in a wealthy scholarly family in Anfu County. Born in Song Chun in the 12th year (1252), he studied martial arts at home since childhood. Ten years later, when Xianchun was twenty-two, she went to Nanchang to catch the exam. Enter the Imperial College and go to Lin 'an to study. At the age of twenty-three, my father died and stayed at home in mourning. During this period, Wen Tianxiang recruited soldiers in Luling, and Wang went to Jizhou to see Wen Tianxiang. Wen Tianxiang invited him to stay in the shogunate and serve his country. Wang Wanyan declined because her father died and her mother was in critical condition. Go home afterwards to mourn and serve my mother. The following year, the Song Dynasty perished.

Twenty years of Zhiyuan (1283)
Gong Yun returned to his hometown. At that time, Di Bi was appointed as the general manager and magistrate of Linjiang Road to handle the funeral.
The above excerpts, individual matters and details are supplemented according to the Collected Works of Mr. Wenshan and the Chronicle of Mr. Wenshan.
According to the chronology, Wen Tianxiang was born in 1236. I have been studying in my hometown until I was twenty years old. 1256 (aged 21) went to Lin 'an to take the exam and won the first prize. Because of his father's death, he returned to his hometown worried. 1259 Ren Ning Navy was sentenced to be a government official and took office in July. In that year 1 1 month, he resigned and went home because his opinions were not adopted by the emperor. 1262 returned to Beijing at the request of Zhao, and worked in Lin 'an, Ningguofu and Ruizhou successively. 1270 was demoted in September and lived in his hometown for nearly three years. /kloc-worked as a prisoner in Hunan in 0/273, a magistrate in Ganzhou in 0/274, and a conscript in 0/275. In July of that year, he came to Lin 'an with a great army. Since then, he has been going to the anti-yuan battlefield in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui. After the surrender of the Southern Song Dynasty imperial court,1February, 276, Wen Tianxiang was forced to follow the supplicant to Beijing and fled the Yuan Army via Zhou Zhenshi. After that, I trudged around and arrived in Taizhou at the end of April, looking for the newly established Emperor Jingyan. Wen Tianxiang was awarded the rank of doctor, right prime minister and Tang Tang ambassador, and was the commander-in-chief of various armies. Re-open the anti-yuan battlefield and move to Fujian, Jiangxi and Guangdong. Haifeng was defeated and captured until1February 1278. 1April 279, Zhang Hongfan sent Wen Tianxiang to Dadu, and1October arrived in Beijing. 12821February, Wen Tianxiang died at the age of 47.
Wen Tianxiang is younger than Wang Dajin 17 years old. Wang was only four years old when Wen Tianxiang won the highest prize. Wang was twenty-two when he was studying in imperial academy, and Wen Tianxiang was thirty-nine. He is already a court official and a government official, with nearly 20 years of officialdom experience. The age gap determines that they can't have a classmate relationship. Disparity in social status and irrelevant experiences can also rule out their colleagues and colleagues. So, when and where did their life trajectories intersect? The above historical data show that their meeting took place in Jizhou in April of the first year of Deyou (1275). At that time, Wen Tianxiang "was ordered by him to move the world, gather troops to accumulate food ... in April, he led troops to Jizhou", and Wang had a trip to Jizhou, where "the Prime Minister started to fight and his servants called".
There is no written record of the meeting between Wen Tianxiang and Wang in Jizhou. Only a few words in Wang's Sacrifice to Life can be speculated. There are two references to this meeting in Ode to Life:
When the Prime Minister Gai Chu started his army, his servants called the government and talked wildly. There is a wish that the famous public will not hesitate to destroy family wealth and provide military pay in order to advocate the government and the people to help the righteous; Please buy Huai pawn, join the wrong army and train the mob in Jiangguang. What he said was crazy. The generous and stupid Prime Minister of Ghana. The commander-in-chief met with the Jin Shan shogunate and appointed him to join the army. The servant died in imperial academy, his father was not buried, his mother was critically ill, and times were difficult. It is difficult to be loyal if you are afraid to advance, but filial if you retreat. I was at a loss and cried. If my mother accused me, the Prime Minister pitied me and cried.
-Wang, "My Manuscript, Sacrificed Prime Minister"
When the Prime Minister set out to visit his hometown, there were a group of crazy children called soldiers. The prime minister saw his anger and entered, but pitied his old age and retired. You're not a servant, are you?
-Wang, "My Manuscript, Sacrificed Prime Minister"
We can imagine the scene at that time: that day, Wang came to the gate of Wen Tianxiang military camp, holding a red post, and asked to make a fool of Wen Tianxiang, but was stopped by the guards, causing a dispute. Wang Yue said, "I have been called by an assistant minister of the Ministry of War, an Anfu envoy from Jiangxi and Wen Tianxiang, the magistrate of Ganzhou, to offer suggestions. I must meet Wen Tianxiang. You shouldn't stop me. The noise alarmed Wen Tianxiang. Wen Tianxiang met him when he saw his kind words and sincere attitude. In the face of Wen Tianxiang, Wang was outspoken. Be eloquent and gushing. He expressed his views on the current political and military situation and put forward his own opinions and suggestions. Wen Tianxiang did not blame his recklessness, but praised his feelings and spirit of home and country. He asked He Jianshan to give a specific reception, instructed He Jianshan to arrange a suitable military post for Wang, and then went to Lin 'an with the army to fight against the Yuan Army and protect the emperor. However, Wang Si thought twice, and finally refused Wen Tianxiang's kindness on the grounds that his father was not buried and his mother was dying.
Wen Tianxiang served as assistant minister of the Ministry of War, executioner of Jiangxi, peace envoy of Jiangxi and magistrate of Ganzhou. At the same time, he also served as the title of the Confucian Temple, deputy commander of the Council and deputy commander. He is the highest military and political chief in Jiangxi. It's a pleasure for many ordinary people to get a glimpse of Wen Tianxiang and get in close contact with Wen Tianxiang. Wang not only got it, but also received and appreciated by Wen Tianxiang. This kind of experience is enviable, and it is enough to be the capital that Wang shows off. It is reasonable to say that every bit of meeting will leave a deep impression on Wang and will be unforgettable for life. However, Wang said nothing about the process and details of meeting in those years, such as how long they were together, who were there at the meeting place, what they talked about specifically, whether there was any question-and-answer interaction, how long they stayed in Jizhou, what they saw and heard, and what made him impulsive and disappointed. As if nothing had happened.
How to explain this phenomenon? We can only make the following guess:
1. From the articles in my manuscript, such as Bachelor of Science, Yao in Politics and Yao in Politics, it can be seen that Wang likes to quote classics, talk nonsense and show off his talents in front of literati. At that time, his generous remarks in front of Wen Tianxiang are likely to be hard to change. Most of them are empty words such as "Ziyun October", which are flashy, big and unreal. Wen Tianxiang didn't approve it all, but accepted it all. Even pointing at my face. Wang Rang was very disappointed.
Second, "I didn't see the Jin Shan shogunate, but I was ordered by the army." It was Wen Tianxiang's verbal instructions. What position, what treatment. There is no express, let He Jianshan do it. He Jianshan's positioning for him is likely to be lower than his own expectations and cannot satisfy him.
Thirdly, under the arrangement of He Jianshan, Wang visited Wen Tianxiang's military camp in Jizhou and the training activities of rebel soldiers. Wen Tianxiang diligent king's prospect is not optimistic, and I have no confidence, so I choose 36 plans and go for the best policy.
Wang's trip to Jizhou was a whim and a great disappointment. For Wang, what he saw and heard in Jizhou is nothing to boast about and miss. Don't want to mention it again, form a text.
After returning to China, Wang lived in seclusion until his death. After Wen Tianxiang led the army to Lin 'an, he never returned to Jizhou. Therefore, this meeting between Wen Tianxiang and Wang in Jizhou is the first and only meeting in their lives. In Shou Fu, Wang called Wen Tianxiang "the Prime Minister", "the official" and "the famous minister", calling himself "the servant". The tone of the speech and the contents of the conversation at the meeting fully showed that the relationship between Wang and Wen Tianxiang was purely an official relationship between civilians and senior officials of the imperial court. They can't be friends. This is not difficult to understand. After meeting in Jizhou, there has never been any form of communication between them. In all the manuscripts of the two men, there is not a poem that recalls each other. Nor did he leave any note saying that Wang had held public office under Wen Tianxiang.
So far, it can be concluded that Wang and Wen Tianxiang have never been classmates, colleagues, friends or peers. They just had pure official contact with the people of Jizhou.
