Chapter 235: News from the Turks

The prince's attendant has a very easy-to-understand name, which is called accompanying the prince to study. As the name suggests, it is to be a classmate for the prince, attend classes together, listen to lectures together, and at the same time be responsible for supervising the prince's study when his husband is away, and occasionally he has to help the prince with his homework. This is a fictitious position with no rank, and most of them are filled by men of the same age from the emperor's relatives, and some emperors let the children of the minister's family fill it in order to show his trust in the minister. Strictly speaking, this position does not belong to the official system. But although it is a false position, no one dares to underestimate this position.

Because if there is no accident, then the prince must be the son of heaven in the future. The prince's attendant is the person who accompanied the prince when he was young, and is the prince's classmate and playmate, and his closest friend. Once the crown prince became the son of heaven, this kind of relationship that has been cultivated since he was a child will be of great use. He will become the most trusted person after the crown prince ascends the throne, and he will naturally soar and have a bright future.

Therefore, the emperor selected Xia Hongsheng as the prince's attendant, which was nothing in Xia Hongsheng's own eyes, but it was a signal in the eyes of the officials with a heart. The emperor believes in Xia Hongsheng, which is paving the way for Xia Hongsheng, and also choosing a capable future minister for the crown prince.

So it was inevitable that some people began to think, and during this period of time, there were obviously a lot more visitors in Xia Hongsheng's Chang'an Mansion than before.

Xia Hongsheng was overwhelmed, so he simply didn't touch his home every day. Either he accompanied Li Chengqian to class in the East Palace, or he hid in that humble military academy and office...... No, draw in circles in the office tent. Draw a floor plan.

The person in charge of teaching the crown prince was Li Gang. At present, the Confucian with the highest rank in Chang'an City. In the early years, there was a more powerful Yan Zhitui than him. It is Yan Shigu's father, but he has passed away for a few years.

Don't look at Li Gang's kind eyes in the Hongwen Pavilion and Guozijian, and he is also kind and kind when he talks to Xia Hongsheng, but he treats Li Chengqian very harshly. Li Chengqian didn't dare to speak, let alone be angry, and had to honestly bow his head and admit his mistakes. That ring ruler even beat his brother who was the emperor, let alone him.

On the contrary, it is for Xia Hongsheng, who is studying. Li Gang was not so harsh. Xia Hongsheng's schoolwork, which never took the school exam, did not limit what Xia Hongsheng did when he lectured, for this, Xia Hongsheng was almost grateful. It's not that Li Gang is unwilling to teach Xia Hongsheng, it's just that they already know that Xia Hongsheng's knowledge is not shallow, and most of the opinions are self-contained but very reasonable, so they don't want to use their knowledge to mess up Xia Hongsheng's own things. On the other hand, this is the mind of the real Confucian, and the sea is not an empty word and slogan, such as Li Gang and Yan Shigu. His own moral cultivation is almost perfect, so he can be tolerant. It is also Xia Hongsheng's luck. I met these two people. If you meet someone like Chu Suiliang, tsk, Xia Hongsheng himself can't be like, I have already heard the gang of gentlemen in the Hongwen Pavilion say, when Chu Suiliang explains things in the Hongwen Pavilion, he must not let people refute and put forward different opinions, just this mind, compared to Li Gang and Yan Shigu, it is a huge distance.

Xia Hongsheng later simply took the Three Kingdoms, and when Li Gang gave Li Chengqian a lesson, he himself wrote the Three Kingdoms silently on the side.

There is also a bit of a deliberate ingredient in it. Xia Hongsheng hopes that Li Gang can see it, and hopes that this stolen Three Kingdoms book can be published and published all over the world. Nowadays, with movable type printing, the efficiency and speed of printing have been greatly improved, so it is possible to print "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Xia Hongsheng hopes to lead to the trend of literati taking the initiative to publish their own works.

Since the Qin Dynasty burned books and pit Confucianism, many learnings have been lost, and in the Han Dynasty, the hundred schools of thought were deposed, and the doctrines of the hundred schools of thought were even more withered. If we don't take advantage of the fact that Zhenguan is still civilized and let these studies have a chance to see the light of day again, will we wait until the minds of the people in the future generations are imprisoned, become complacent, rigid and backward? !

The contention of a hundred schools of thought is conducive to development, and the three kingdoms that are printed in the world are the bricks thrown by Xia Hongsheng.

Of course, on the other hand, Xia Hongsheng also tried to improve his reputation by publishing the Three Kingdoms. With fame, there will be people to support him, and he will be able to attract people to learn his things. With a high enough reputation, only what he says can be listened to and believed.

As early as when he was in Luanzhou, Yan Shigu said to Xia Hongsheng that Xia Hongsheng wanted to spread the truth of his qualities and learned to take advantage of the situation. Without power, no one will listen to you. Now Xia Hongsheng is already a well-known scribe, and he is trusted by Li Shimin, his status is enough, but his reputation is still lacking. Therefore, Xia Hongsheng thought of publishing the Three Kingdoms to enhance his reputation, enhance his appeal among students, and prepare for his future plans.

"Jingshi, I saw that you were writing these days, but what are you writing?" After Li Chengqian respectfully sent Li Gang away, he turned his head and asked Xia Hongsheng, who was sending Li Gang away.

"Write novels." Xia Hongsheng rubbed his hands: "It's the script." ”

"Script?" Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and then showed curiosity: "Let me take a look!" I have long heard that you helped a dusty woman in Luoyang City write a script, and asked her to interpret the script and win the championship in one fell swoop, and I specially asked someone to tell me about it. What's the story this time? ”

The two went back to the house, and Xia Hongsheng took the written ones and handed them to Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian took the pile of papers and looked down: "Romance of the Three Kingdoms? ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Yes, it is the time when the end of the Han Dynasty divides the world." However, it is only a story compiled with this background, which is not in line with historical facts, so it is called romance. ”

"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes. Success or failure turns empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet. How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. Li Chengqian lowered his head and read: "Huh! Jingshi is so talented! ”

At first, Li Chengqian still didn't exclaim a few words, feeling a good style or something, looking at it, there was no sound. I plunged headlong into the papers, and looked at them intently. Just like the original Yuhime.

Xia Hongsheng talked to him in the middle, and Li Chengqian only hummed and agreed, obviously absent-minded. Seeing this scene, Xia Hongsheng smiled, sure enough, who will compete with the Three Kingdoms, see if you want to keep the other three books out of this posture? But the other three can't memorize it at all.,They only know a story.,I can't do it with my own writing.。

Seeing that Li Chengqian was fascinated, Xia Hongsheng didn't wait any longer, just explained to the attendant next to him, and left the East Palace by himself.

After having lunch at home, I was about to make a spring sleepiness for a while, but I saw a little guy come in with a soldier, and when he arrived in front of Xia Hongsheng, he hugged his fists and saluted, and then said: "Captain Qi, Captain Duan ordered the little one to come to find the captain, saying that the person is back!" ”

This is talking about the special combat soldiers and spies sent by Xia Hongsheng to the Turks when he was in Shuofang. They pretended to be merchants and stayed in the Turks, taking the opportunity to secretly collect information about the Turks.

Xia Hongsheng didn't care about taking a nap, so he hurriedly took Qi Yong and a few personal soldiers out of the city with the soldier and went to the camp.

The spy camp was in the same place as the camp of the Tang Blade, Xia Hongsheng rode over, and it didn't take long to arrive. went straight into the big tent, and saw a few people standing there talking to Duan Zhan, and when he saw Xia Hongsheng entering, he immediately came over to greet him.

"What, you're exposed? What about the others? Xia Hongsheng asked a few people to get up, and then asked. Because when he ordered them to infiltrate the Turks in disguise as merchants, he said that they would stay in the steppe and send back the news through the flying pigeons. Because Xia Hongsheng knew that once Shuofang recovered, Li Laoer's eyes would cross the grassland and concentrate on the Turks. Therefore, Xia Hongsheng asked them to collect intelligence among the Turkic ministries, secretly sow discord between the Turkic ministries, and did not come back without exposure.

"General Qiyu, his subordinates have not been exposed." The spy at the head said to Xia Hongsheng: "The others still follow the general's orders, infiltrate the Turkic subordinate departments, ostensibly resell goods from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, secretly collect all intelligence, and at the same time spread rumors to sow discord between the ministry. A few subordinates came back this time, because the matter was too important to pass the book with flying pigeons, so the subordinates came back in person. ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Ever since his subordinates infiltrated the Turks in accordance with the general's orders, they have been secretly stirring up a wedge between the Jieli Khan and the Turkic sub-Khan Tuli Khan. The two of them are already at odds, coupled with the operation of our people, and now the contradictions between the two Turkic Khans have become more intense, and there have even been several assassinations, but it was not our people who did it. Tuli Khan has been suppressed and excluded by Jieli Khan for a long time, and he is deeply disturbed, knowing that his own power is not as good as Jieli, so he took the initiative to contact Shuo Fang......" The spy explained to Xia Hongsheng: "After receiving the news, Shuo Fang's people immediately transferred it to their subordinates, and after discussion, their subordinates appeared to meet Tuli Khan, and Tuli Khan expressed his willingness to join the Tang Dynasty and hoped to get help from the Tang Dynasty. The subordinate also brought back a letter from the Turki Khan! ”

After speaking, the spy took off his coat, took out a knife and picked open his underwear, pulled out a letter sealed with fire clay from it, and presented it to Xia Hongsheng. (To be continued......)
