Although the prince is not very old, but he is very mature in his speech, he can inadvertently ignore his age, although he is wearing a plain robe, but standing there has a graceful and luxurious bearing, at a young age, he speaks with a majesty, Xia Hongsheng guessed that the family background of this young man in white must be extraordinary, not an ordinary family, it is very likely, he is a high-ranking official. However, he said that he was the same age as Xia Hongsheng, which surprised Xia Hongsheng a little, because this young man in white was at least a head taller than Xia Hongsheng, but his body looked quite strong, not like a teenager at all, but more like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man. In addition, his language and speech are extremely mature, so he was mistaken for a young man by Xia Hongsheng at the beginning. And the young man in white was also looking at Xia Hongsheng. The young man in front of him is not very old next year, but he has a calm temperament like an old monk, and his speech is also very mature, giving the young man in white the feeling that he is facing an elder.

This is a mistake for Xia Hongsheng, that is, with the age in the later life, Xia Hongsheng is not that old. It's just that I've experienced too much, and my mental age is a little older.

"Hey, Brother Jingshi has such a good literary talent, why don't you go to the poetry club?" The prince glanced at Xia Hongsheng, who was sitting on the bluestone, leaning against the trunk of the tree with his eyes slightly closed, and said: "If nothing else, it is the long and short sentence in yesterday, and I dare to guarantee that I will be able to beat these students and win the first place." ”

Xia Hongsheng opened his eyes, looked at Wang Zike with a smile, and asked rhetorically, "What if you win the first place?" ”

"You can get the favor of the scholars in the school, and in the future, you will be elected to participate in the imperial examination and benefit the people! No one can nominate it, but you can't participate in the scientific expedition. The prince looked at Xia Hongsheng with some doubts: "Could it be that Brother Jingshi is unwilling to serve the imperial court and benefit the people?" ”

The imperial examination system was founded in the Sui Dynasty and continued to be used in the Tang Dynasty, but at first not everyone could participate in the imperial examination, and not everyone could enter the "scholar" class after the examination. Therefore, candidates have rushed to the door of the minister, submitting their works to them, hoping to get recommendations, which is called investment bank papers. That's why these students care so much about the poetry club, thinking that if the poetry club can get a ranking, get favored, and get recommended.

Xia Hongsheng laughed and said, "Brother Zike, let me ask you, what do the people eat in their mouths, what is planted in the fields, how to plant it, and when to plant it?" What do the people wear, how do they make it, and how do they make it for more people? What should I do if I encounter a disaster, what should I do if I encounter a rogue, does Brother Zike know? ”

The prince rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "I don't know. ”

"I don't know." Xia Hongsheng shrugged his shoulders: "When Brother Tai is extremely hungry, do you want to eat a table of delicacies, or do you want to write a poem a little more?" ”

"Haha!" The prince laughed: "Naturally, I want to eat more delicacies on the table." ”

Xia Hongsheng clapped his hands: "Isn't this it, I can only write poems and do things, I don't know the four seasons, I don't divide the grains, how can I benefit the people?" Brother Zike, let's take a look at the capable ministers and famous officials who have been praised by the people throughout the ages, which one is because of the good writing of poetry? ”

"This ......" the prince was a little speechless, and did not know how to answer.

However, Xia Hongsheng laughed, waved his hand, and said: "Haha, it's just sophistry below, don't go up to your heart, don't participate in the poetry meeting, just because you don't want to compare these ethereal things, it's better to go to Yixiangju to have a meal!" is lazy in the next nature, which makes Brother Zike laugh. ”

"Huh? Didn't Brother Jingshi say yesterday that he would 'drive a long car, step through the Helan Mountain, and clean up the old mountains and rivers'? Jin Ge Iron Horse, swallowing thousands of miles, what a magnificent and proud, how can it be ...... today" The prince looked at the lazy Xia Hongsheng and sighed in surprise.

Xia Hongsheng smiled even more brightly, although this prince looked mature when he spoke, he was still a teenager after all, so he smiled: "How can we worry about this kind of military affairs, if we want to break through the lack of Helan Mountain, we have those sergeants, and there are also those generals and Your Majesty to worry about." Believe it or not, no matter how arrogant the Turks are, that is, they have been stumbling for a few years, and within five years, the Tang Dynasty will show its fangs to the Turks and leave no flesh and blood gnawed by the Turks! ”

"Oh?" The prince's eyes lit up: "What do you say?" ”

What do you mean by that? Because that's how history develops! After the Weishui Alliance, a period of peace was achieved between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks. Taking advantage of this period of peace, Li Shimin adopted a series of political and economic measures to enhance national strength in order to completely remove the Turkic threat, actively prepared for war militarily, and stirred up trouble between Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan, and secretly funded the Turkic Khan to fight for power with Jieli Khan. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, I thought that the famous war between the Tang and Turks in history should officially begin. Li Shimin's Sixth Route Army will be wrapped in the anger that the Son of Heaven has endured for many years, and will pour out towards the grassland in the northwest.

However, I don't dare to tell anyone about these things now, in that case, I am afraid that my life will not be guaranteed.

So Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "Guess." The Weishui Alliance, although I am ashamed of it, is actually a very great success, and it is also a very wise decision......"

"Nonsense!" The prince interrupted Xia Hongsheng's words, with some anger on his face, and looked at Xia Hongsheng very unwillingly: "The Turks acted despicably, taking advantage of His Majesty's accession to the throne to invade on a large scale, and my Tang Dynasty was forced to make the Weishui Alliance, how is it not a shame?!" ”

Boy, you are still too young, too simple! Xia Hongsheng was happy in his heart, and grinned: "There is a way, a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late." At that time, His Majesty had just ascended the throne, the foundation was not stable, and many generals had the situation of watching the fire from the other side, and the Turks took the opportunity by surprise and fought all the way to the edge of Chang'an City. If the Weishui Alliance was not decided at that time, I am afraid that Chang'an, the capital of the country, would be destroyed in one fell swoop, and the heroes from all walks of life who had just settled down would probably rise up again, and the world would fall apart in an instant, what a terrible consequence is this? However, His Majesty had this foresight, and used the strategy of suspicious soldiers, on the one hand, he resisted it with a large army, and on the other hand, he went to Weishui in person, angrily reprimanded Jieli Khan, and ordered the Chang'an sergeants to rush to the back, so that Jieli Khan thought that there were many Chang'an soldiers, so he retreated. The Weishui Alliance has ushered in a relatively stable period of peaceful development for our Datang, and by taking this opportunity, His Majesty can temporarily put the Turks aside, concentrate on consolidating the country, developing the political economy, enhancing the national strength of our Datang, preparing for war, and improving the combat effectiveness of the army. At the same time, he secretly instigated the infighting between the Jieli Khan and the Turki Khan, and consumed the strength of the Turks. In this way, in a few years, you see, when the Tang Dynasty is strong and fully armed, it will be time for His Majesty to draw his sword against the Turks again, and at that time, he will definitely finish the battle and destroy the Turks. The Weishui Alliance was a great and far-sighted victory in foreign policy, which bought time and laid the foundation for the future Tang Dynasty to destroy the Turks...... Ahem......"

Well, I'm used to lecturing, and I almost memorized the meaning of the Weishui Alliance in history! Xia Hongsheng scratched his head, and then turned his head to look, but saw that the prince's face was flushed, his hands were clenched into fists with excitement, his arms were tight, and he said in a tone full of reverence and admiration: "Yuan, it turns out that Your Majesty is ...... It's ...... to be so far-sighted, so daring."

Xia Hongsheng looked at the prince who looked like a demon and shook his head, Damn, it's another society with a strict personality cult! However, it has to be said that leading China to the most powerful period and being revered as the Heavenly Khan, Li Shimin is indeed worthy of respect and worship.

"Okay, brother, don't get excited, these things are not something we can mix, you and I still read the poetry will be more realistic, the master Xuezheng has already read two poems, what does Brother Zike think?" Xia Hongsheng just listened to the person on the stage to introduce the new style of tea, and now I saw those students and gentlemen who couldn't put down this kind of tea, and I was very happy in my heart.

"It's good, it's just not as exciting and shivering as Brother Jingshi's long and short sentence yesterday." The prince had already regained his calm at this moment, and said with a smile: "Listening to Brother Jingshi is much more interesting than listening to these sleepy poems. ”

Xia Hongsheng shook his head: "Wouldn't that be a waste of money?" Wouldn't you and I have a hearty conversation under the trees in this garden? ”

"If you have words and no wine, you are not beautiful after all! It's a great blessing to be able to get to know Brother Jingshi in the future, how can you be stingy with a few wine dollars? Don't shirk Brother Jingshi! The prince bowed and said.

Seeing that the prince could invite him like this, Xia Hongsheng didn't shirk anymore, so he got up and left the garden with the prince. This poem will make Xia Hongsheng a little disappointed, and see that the business of the tea shop is very well handled by the shopkeeper, and there is nothing to do anyway, so it is better to brag with this prince for a while!
