Xia Hongsheng didn't expect that Li Chengqian would write down that poem. When I was in the imperial garden to enjoy the chrysanthemums in autumn, I met the eldest grandson queen. The first time I saw such a famous Empress Changsun in history, I couldn't help but be a little excited, and I didn't stop it for a while, but I pretended to be a little too much, which aroused the vigilance of Empress Changsun. In order to dispel her vigilance, she recited this poem with an idea, but she never thought that Li Chengqian would remember it so clearly, but now he has become a god assist.

Li Gang worked hard to write, and in an instant, he wrote down this song "Song of the Thatched House Broken by the Autumn Wind", the pen is vigorous, the pen gesture is heavy, and a sense of vicissitudes and sadness comes through the paper at a glance, but it makes people feel restrained and depressed. Between the frustrations, it coincides with the characteristics of Du Fu's poems of depression and frustration, so they complement each other even more.

After writing, Li Gang stared at the word silently for a long time, then turned around, sighed and said, "The old man is ashamed!" spent his whole life dry, but he didn't know the hardships of the cold family...... There are tens of millions of mansions in Ande, and the poor people in the world are happy! What a spirit! Good vision! In this matter, the old man should help! ”

"Master Li understands the righteousness, and the students are grateful!" Xia Hongsheng bowed and saluted, with Li Gang's help, the resistance will be greatly reduced, with Li Gang's fame and status in the Confucian forest, as well as his appeal in the hearts of the world's scholars, it is unmatched, even Kong Yingda, who is a descendant of Confucius, is unattainable. If it is affirmed by him, then this matter will not be characterized as insulting and will not be opposed by the world's scholars.

Li Gang shook his head and said to Xia Hongsheng: "The resistance to this matter must be not small, how do you handle it." After I went back, I still drew up a charter for the old man to see. Let's talk about it again. ”

"Yes!" Xia Hongsheng nodded. Excitement in my heart.

This is also his heart-warming move, and Xia Hongsheng now also needs to accumulate his own fame and appeal. If this move is implemented, his status in the hearts of the world's poor scholars will be raised to a new height, and his appeal will be greatly improved. And with fame and appeal, those scholars will believe him.

The future publication of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" will not only enhance Xia Hongsheng's talent and fame again, but also open the prelude to the Datang cultural publishing industry.

So striking while the iron was hot, Xia Hongsheng said to Li Gang again: "Master Li." The students are preparing to use this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as a brick and stone to attract jade, and use this book as a precedent for the writer's manuscript fee, hoping to get the imitation of the scholars of the poor family. Naturally, the student council thought about His Majesty's request for this matter, and asked His Majesty to agree to the establishment of a printing bureau to be in charge of the printing and sale of books, and to manage the income from the sale of books and the payment of supplementary fees. Because this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is extremely important, the students dared to ask Master Li to give the book a preface and a preface. I also hope that Li Shi will be perfected. ”

Li Gang groaned slightly, then twisted his beard and smiled: "Hehe." This preface is not in a hurry, and the old man should take this matter first. However, when the time comes, it will not be the turn of the old man, but he will not dare to make a judgment! ”

Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, but he heard Li Gang smile again: "Your Majesty is very fond of this book!" I specially ordered someone to transcribe it, and I have already read it several times, and I also advised the princes to browse this book. If Jingshi can tell His Majesty about the pros and cons, I'm afraid that the time will be ...... Hehehe......"

What do you mean! In other words, when the time comes, Li Lao Er may personally write a preface or a preface to this book?! Xia Hongsheng's heart instantly warmed up.

"Anyway, there are tens of thousands of mansions, and the poor people in the world are happy! This is really a great wish! The old man is also rare to be enthusiastic now, so he will go with you! Li Gang smiled lightly, tidied up his clothes, and then took the lead and walked out.

Behind him, Xia Hongsheng was suddenly ecstatic, and he made a face with Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian reacted, and the two hurriedly followed together, following behind Li Gang.

In the Taiji Palace, Li Lao Er had just come back from Li Yuan, rubbed his forehead, and was about to sit down to review the recital, but suddenly heard a report from the Yellow Gate coming in, saying that Li Gang took the prince and Xiahou to ask to see him together.

Li Lao Er was stunned: "Master Li? And the two of them? Let them see them. ”

Huang Men snorted, immediately bowed and withdrew, bringing the three of them in.

After saluting Li Lao Er, Li Shimin on the throne asked, "I don't know if Master Li is here today, but what do you have to talk about?" ”

Li Gang said with a smile: "Today, Xiahou has a new manuscript, and the old minister has taken advantage, but he has read it before His Majesty." ”

As he spoke, he raised the manuscript in his hand.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled: "I have been waiting for the next thing for a long time!" ”

Wang De immediately stepped forward to put away the manuscript and presented it to Li Shimin, who immediately lowered his head and looked at it.

"Your Majesty watched while listening to the old minister's words." Li Gang bowed and saluted and said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin hurriedly put down the manuscript and looked up at Li Gang: "Master Li, please speak!" ”

"Since His Majesty ascended the throne, the scientific examination has been reopened, and the method of punctuation and sentence breaking has been recast to recast the classics, and the art of movable type printing has been printed all over the world, and the hearts of scholars in the world have been collected." Li Gang said to Li Shimin: "The scholars of the world, half of the poor families of the world, but most of the scholars of the poor families cannot do their best to become their fruits, serve the imperial court, and share the burden for His Majesty." Guy was out of the woods, unclothed, hungry, and finally could not be compared with the children of the family. Now that Xiahou has a law, he can make all the poor scholars in the world return to his heart, can His Majesty want to hear it? ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Gang with some surprise, and then turned to Xia Hongsheng: "Xia Qing, let's talk about it." ”

Xia Hongsheng then explained what he had just said to Li Gang, saying that he wanted to use this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to introduce this kind of literati to write, publish, print, and sell to get the manuscript fee. In this way, in addition to fame, literati writing also has money to gain, which can not only alleviate the life difficulties of poor scholars to a certain extent, but also help the imperial court to find those poor scholars who are hidden among the people but are very talented. In addition, it can also stimulate the creative enthusiasm of scribes and promote the prosperity of Tang Dynasty articles.

Li Shimin quietly listened to Xia Hongsheng's words, pondered for a while, and said: "In this matter, there is a lot to be desired. It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that I will end up with a bad reputation for selling articles, and I am afraid that people will criticize it! ”

"Indeed, as Your Majesty said, as soon as this move comes out, it will definitely be criticized, and Weichen will definitely be attacked and impeached." Xia Hongsheng nodded, laughed, and said: "However, it is the poor scholars who benefit, so what does it matter if Weichen is guilty of some infamy?" Anyway, Weichen has already run away with the chaotic party......"

Li Shimin wanted it with a grin, but suddenly remembered that he was the emperor, and in front of his courtiers, he stiffly held back and said: "Even if Xiahou doesn't care about his reputation, he is also inconvenient for the reputation of the imperial court." Things are a good thing, but I'm afraid it won't be good. ”

"Your Majesty, if it is an ordinary person, etc., who takes the article in exchange for money, it will naturally be criticized." Li Gang opened his mouth and smiled at this time: "But what if the person who exchanged the manuscript fee is an old man, and Your Majesty?" ”

Li Shimin was stunned, and Xia Hongsheng was also stunned. However, Xia Hongsheng's heart suddenly became ecstatic, Li Gang is the real god assist!

With Li Gang's status and prestige among Confucianism, he may suppress the opposition of many people. But if Li Gang himself is like this, then no one can say anything. If you add the emperor of the dynasty, then who dares to say that it is wrong to do this? Even those Shandong scholars who are always ready to impeach the imperial power have nothing to say, because in addition to the emperor and Li Gang, they can attack the emperor for being deaf, but they can't shake Li Gang's reputation and status among Confucianism. And according to Xia Hongsheng's understanding, if Li Gang can also publish articles and collect manuscript fees, then Yan Shigu will definitely be moved by him and do it together. So, who else in the world would think that they can't do that? The world's scholars will only compete to follow suit and be proud of it!

"Li Shizhen is really willing to try his own thing?" Li Shimin looked at Li Gang with some surprise, he knew that this great Confucian loved his reputation.

"The old minister also questioned Xiahou, but Xiahou said something, which made the old man feel deeply ashamed." Li Gang said to Li Shimin: "The old minister has dissuaded Xiahou like this, saying that if he really makes this move, I am afraid that he will be insulted and even discredited, and will be criticized by the world. Xiahou said, but this is the benefit of the world's poor scholars, I will chase it, although tens of millions of people will go to it! ”

"The words of the sage Mencius are still in my ears: self-reflection does not shrink, although brown and broad, I am not worried; Shrinking from reflexivity, although tens of millions of people, I will go! Li Gang's voice was sonorous in the hall: "It is related to the interests of the world's scholars, and the court's interests to attract the world's talents, which is where the Tao lies, although there are tens of millions of people, what are they afraid of?!" ”

"Master Li cares about the court and the world's scholars, and I admire him!" Li Shimin stood up from the throne and said in a deep voice: "In this way, I should support this matter with all my might!" ”

"Your Majesty (Father's Emperor) is famous!" Li Gang, together with Xia Hongsheng and Li Chengqian, bowed to Li Shimin.

After saying this, everyone was about to retire. Li Shimin asked Xia Hongsheng to stay alone, saying that he had something else to ask.

After Li Gang and Li Chengqian left, the solemnity on Li Shimin's face immediately disappeared, and his eyebrows raised to reveal a suspicious look, and he said to Xia Hongsheng: "You kid poured Li Shi with a lot of ecstasy again, and deceived Li Shi to give you the lead in front of him?!" ”

Uh, Xia Hongsheng hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty, why did you say that, Weichen is really wronged!" ”

"I don't believe you can be so selfless!" Li Shimin glared at Xia Hongsheng angrily: "Say!" What bad ideas are you playing again? It is also printed and sold for money, and after the money is sold, it is given to the author of the book as a remuneration...... Sounding! actually planned to make money on the head of the Confucian scholars, isn't it really fateful? If those great Confucians of the world don't dare to touch you, can't you?! (To be continued......)
