Unprecedentedly, since crossing over to the Tang Dynasty, Xia Hongsheng lost sleep all night for the first time. My heart was in a mess, and I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning in bed, so I simply didn't sleep, got up and went to the study, and wrote down my thoughts and invitations for military medals. When it was dawn, a pair of black eyes got up and filled the wooden box with rice paper, charcoal and other drawing tools, and then went straight to the imperial city.

Taking advantage of the time when the spies were spying on Changsun Anye and others, the right given to him by the emperor to enter the palace gate without notification had not been withdrawn, and Xia Hongsheng went directly to the outside of the Taiji Hall without going through the notification of the guards of the Vermilion Bird Gate.

When you get to the Taiji Palace, you have to report it. Xia Hongsheng took a step forward, arched his hand, and said, "This chamberlain, dare to ask if Your Majesty is in the palace?" I also hope that this chamberlain will make a report, and he will rush to the captain Xia Hongsheng to ask for a meeting. ”

The chamberlain returned the salute and said, "Lord Huixia, Your Majesty is not in the palace at the moment, if your Excellency asks to see Your Majesty, you can go to the Imperial Garden to find it." ”

"Thank you, waiter." Xia Hongsheng arched his hand again and thanked the waiter.

Xia Hongsheng has been to the Imperial Garden many times, and he found the Imperial Garden, but he didn't know where Li Lao Er was.

After going around for a long time, I don't know where it is, so I can't help but be a little anxious.

"Xia Duwei?" A voice suddenly appeared, startling Xia Hongsheng. But when I turned my head to look at it, I was immediately happy.

"Oops, it's this Praetorian Guard!" Xia Hongsheng hurried over in surprise, and it was not someone else who stopped him, it was the palace guard who was often sent by Li Lao Er to summon him. Xia Hongsheng hurriedly asked: "I came to see Your Majesty, but I couldn't find where Your Majesty was in the Imperial Garden. ”

"Don't dare to be." The janissary arched his hand towards Xia Hongsheng and said, "Please come with me, Your Majesty is enjoying the plum blossoms in the imperial garden with a few maidens." ”

Eh, Xia Hongsheng was stunned, it seems that it is not the right time.

Follow the janissary in the Imperial Garden, turn left and turn right. Xia Hongsheng couldn't help but have a kind of admiration for the ban, and he was able to not get lost in this, which is also a kind of ability!

"Captain Xia, please wait here for the time being, and let me go and report it." The janissary stopped suddenly. said to Xia Hongsheng.

Soon, the guards came back and walked over with Xia Hongsheng.

Just under the pavilion, Li Lao Er, and the eldest grandson queen. In addition, there are a few women who look beautiful and dignified, needless to say, they are Li Laoer's concubines.

No wonder so many people break their heads and fight for their lives to be emperors, it's really good to be an emperor, you look at those around Li Lao Er, all of them are Tianzi and the country, in the future generations, I am afraid that those female stars will be inferior, but now they are all monopolized by Li Lao Er alone.

But it's just a thought. Xia Hong was promoted to a minister, but he didn't dare to stare at Li Laoer's concubines, this was going to kill his head.

He walked forward with his head down, bowed down and said, "Weichen meets Your Majesty, meets the Queen Mother, and meets all the Niangniang." Weichen didn't know that His Majesty and Niangniang enjoyed the flowers today, and he rushed to see him, but he disturbed the Yaxing of His Majesty and your mothers. ”

"It doesn't matter." Li Shimin waved his hand very generously: "What's the matter with Xia Qing?" ”

"The minister wants to ask His Majesty for something." Xia Hongsheng took out a book from his arms and bowed down to present it.

"Oh?" It was the first time Li Shimin saw Xia Hongsheng write a recital, which was very unexpected. Let Wang De go over and take it, and said: "It's the first time I've seen you write a song, why, aren't you going to speak like a reed in front of me today?" Look at Xia Qing's face. I didn't seem to have a good rest last night. ”

"Yes, last night, Weichen stayed up all night to write this note." Xia Hongsheng explained: "Weichen feels that my Datang has always paid attention to military merits, but for soldiers, there is a lack of due respect in society. Your Majesty, you think. Why do people all over the world know that it is good to be a doctor, and they all want to become a doctor for ten years? It is because from top to bottom that they respect and advocate the class of scholars, who have status and dignity, and even a person who has privileges that people are willing to squeeze their heads and want to enter the class. But Your Majesty, you are the one who will fight the world immediately, and you know how important the army is to a country, especially a strong country. The armed forces are regular armed organizations of the state or political groups serving political purposes, and are also the main components of state power, armed groups that carry out political tasks, and are the main tools of violence for resisting or committing aggression externally and consolidating political power internally. A strong army is the backbone of the country and the nation, and if the army is strong, the country will have confidence. Wechen once heard a person say that the four people of the world are also known as people, the spirit of scholars, agriculture is the body of people, workers are the limbs of people, and business is the blood of people. If a person has no spirit, he will not be at peace, if he has no body, he will not be healthy, if he has no limbs, he will not stand, and if he has no blood, he will not live. The world is the same, and the four people are in harmony. If the four of Shinong industry and commerce are developed at the same time, the world will develop peacefully. But there is more than one person in the world, and as long as there are people, there will be fights. The victory or defeat of the battle determines a person's status, and if he wins, he is the one who is in charge, others have to listen, what he says works, no one questions what he does, and he has confidence wherever he goes. But if you lose, even if you are healthy, you can only be the subordinate of the person who won the battle, a powerful slave. Therefore, the man said to Weichen that in addition to the four people in this world, there must be one, that is, the army, which is the backbone of people and the sharp blade of the hand, which can protect the family inside and prevent humiliation outside. ”

Li Shimin listened to Xia Hongsheng's words with a smile on his face at first, but the more he listened, the more he listened, the smile gradually disappeared, and he changed to a solemn look, and said in a deep voice: "Continue talking." ”

"Yes. Therefore, Weichen feels that the army is the pillar of the country, and the military does form the foundation of the army. However, since ancient times, there has been a lack of due respect for soldiers. Your Majesty, please look at the past and present, soldiers have served the country, but there are many poems, but there are a few words to praise those ordinary soldiers? The soldier lacks due respect, Wechen once asked a soldier why he joined the army, and he told Wechen that in order to be able to eat enough. This is different from the answer that Wechen wants, the answer that Wechen wants is that he wants to protect his family and defend the country, he wants to make meritorious contributions, and he does not want the country to be humiliated and the people of the country to be enslaved. Later, Weichen thought about how to make those soldiers willing to join the army from the bottom of their hearts, be willing to fight for the country and the people, and they did not hesitate to spill their blood. Later, Weichen felt that this is a very long process, first of all, we need to improve the society's recognition of soldiers, people's respect for soldiers, Your Majesty, if soldiers can have the status of a scholar and be respected like a scholar, then just like everyone is willing to be a scholar, they must be willing to join the army. So this first step, Weichen wrote it down and handed it to His Majesty for review. ”

Li Shimin didn't speak, bowed his head slightly and pondered. The concubines around him were also very smart and did not make a sound to disturb, and they all waited quietly for Li Shimin's reaction.

Li Shimin flipped through the music in his hand, but he frowned suddenly, and looked closer to the music with some surprise, and read it in his mouth: "Zhichong Commander Xia Hongsheng's request on 'casting and distributing military merit medals and improving the sense of honor of soldiers'...... This, what is this? ”

Xia Hongsheng scratched his head in a sneer, writing sparsely, Xia Hongsheng himself is also the first time, and he has been cultivated in the Tang Dynasty for a year, and ancient texts can also be written, but Xia Hongsheng is more accustomed to the official documents of the organs in later generations, aside from the content of the clichés, the format of the official document can indeed be more clear and clear, straightforwardly express views, make suggestions, and request instructions, which is still very suitable for office use. On the other hand, the ancient texts are complicated, the words are chiseled, and you can't see the key points after reading for a long time, and there are probably more clichés in it than in later generations. First, Xia Hongsheng was too lazy to bother to come up with an ancient text, and secondly, Xia Hongsheng also had the intention to let Li Shimin see the benefits of the official document, which was concise, straightforward, and straight to the point, this kind of official document was more efficient and more suitable for the office of government agencies.

In fact, the ancients did not say that everyone said that cloud, and in ordinary conversations, they would not be so literate. In later generations, too, there was a distinction between spoken and written language. Xia Hongsheng tried to write in the vernacular, the advantage is that it is easy to understand, the meaning is clear, and you can clearly know what you are talking about at a glance. As for the disadvantage, of course, it will make others think that Xia Hongsheng is uneducated and vulgar.

"Well, although this music is very different from what you usually see, it also has some benefits." Li Shimin muttered: "This military medal is a good way to encourage the morale of the soldiers. ”

Xia Hongsheng bowed beside him, waiting for Li Shimin to watch his recital.

Seeing the back, Li Shimin raised his head in some surprise: "Do you want to put my portrait on this military medal?" ”

"Yes. Your Majesty is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the master of the Tang Dynasty, and the embodiment of the will of the Tang Dynasty. It is appropriate to use His Majesty to represent the Tang Dynasty. Xia Hongsheng bowed down and replied: "Moreover, with the portrait of His Majesty as the pattern on the medal, it is more inspiring to the soldiers, think about it, the head of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is on his chest, can the soldier not be excited, can he not cherish and love, can he not blush and yearn for this medal that represents the honor given by His Majesty?" This is the thing that best reflects the honor of a soldier. ”

Xia Hongsheng's words made Li Shimin very useful, smiling, his face was a little red, he was definitely not shy, that was pride.

Seeing that Li Shimin was already moved, Xia Hongsheng said: "Moreover, using His Majesty's portrait as the pattern on the medal can also remind those soldiers who have won and want to get medals all the time, so that they can always remember who they are serving and who they should be loyal to." Therefore, Wei Chen finally asked His Majesty for instructions, and asked Wei Chen to draw a portrait of Wei Chen as the pattern on the medal. ”

"Hahahaha...... Aiqing is right! Li Shimin nodded happily: "I'm ready!" ”

Hehe, such a big sycophant, I don't believe you're not allowed. (To be continued.) )
