Chapter 225: Offering a Strange Book
Zhang Huaiyu's father's name was Zhang Zheng, and he was the county magistrate in Yique next to Luoyang.
Zhang Jiuling is the only son, and he naturally attaches great importance to the matter of passing on the heir of incense, so Zhang Zheng was arranged by his parents to marry when he was young, and after two years, he still did not give birth to a son, and married Zhang Zheng with two concubines.
Zhang Huaiyu is from one of the concubines.
Zhang Zheng, who attaches great importance to the matter of heirs, saw that he gave birth to a daughter, not a concubine, and was naturally a little indifferent to Zhang Huaiyu, Zhang Huaiyu was ignored by his family since he was a child, so he developed that kind of indifferent and cold character, and later even ran away from home quietly, all for a reason.
There is a providence in the dark, if there is no Zhang Huaiyu's runaway, he will not meet Gu Qing, fate is so wonderful, how can he be worthy of this fate if he is not married?
Knowing that the future father-in-law was coming to Chang'an, Gu Qing couldn't calm down in the prison for a long time.
Seeing how to salute the father-in-law, how to chat, and what kind of gift to give, Gu Qing thought about it, and waited for practice.
But Gu Qing is the county marquis and Zhonglang general, and the old man is the county order, what if the old man sees him and doesn't say a word?
What if the old man looks at himself too pleasing to the eye, and doesn't say anything and wants to worship himself?
In life, the most troubles come from the trivial troubles of the three aunts and six wives.
Gu Qing secretly decided to drink less wine with his father-in-law, in case he didn't think about it after drinking, he really bowed to his father-in-law, and his life's major events would be over. The ancients were very honest, and it was impossible to repent.
Zhang Huaijin reluctantly left, and before leaving, he said that he would come to visit the prison every day. She wanted to be alone with Gu Qing a few times before Zhang Huaiyu came to Chang'an.
People are in prison, bored.
There was nothing else to do in the cramped room except to eat and drink, Gu Qing sat cross-legged on the futon, silently reviewed the recent events a few times, and guessed some of Li Longji's thoughts, for some reason, the more Gu Qing thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
The matter of killing and assassinating is not over, after Gu Qing comes out of prison for a month, I am afraid that there will be follow-up punishments waiting for him. Storming the official mansion and killing the assassination history, according to the law, Gu Qing should be killed, but he didn't even lose the official title, Li Longji has to take the initiative to help him reverse black and white to cover up the truth, with Li Longji's personality, he will be so enthusiastic and kind?
For doing such a bold thing, Li Longji's punishment cannot be just a month's imprisonment.
Gu Qing suddenly had a sense of crisis, he felt that he should make something to do with him, which could be regarded as accumulating qualifications for himself, if the qualifications were rich, Li Longji would inevitably have more worries when he wanted to punish himself, and he would not be too ruthless when he started.
Profound things can't be made, Gu Qing didn't expect that he could cross in his previous life, and many of the things he learned couldn't be used, such as making guns, it was very, with today's metallurgical ironmaking level, he couldn't make qualified guns at all.
Let's finish writing the Romance of the Three Kingdoms first, this is a strange book, and the people of later generations will see nothing more than a fictional story based on historical facts, but what the ruler sees is a huge book of war strategy, which contains success or failure cases in the art of war, strategy, politics, diplomacy and many other aspects, and a textbook that concentrates the wisdom of thousands of years of Chinese civilization in Dacheng.
Legend has it that the ancestor of the wild boar skin in later generations Nurhachi relied on a Romance of the Three Kingdoms to conquer the Ming Dynasty, Nurhachi fought the world all his life, and many of the strategies for employing people and soldiers are surprisingly consistent with the characters and stories in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It can be seen that this book is not simple, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a story version of the art of war strategy book.
Fortunately, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has not yet come out in this era, and Gu Qing can confidently put the right of authorship on his head.
Gu Qing sorted out the unfinished story in his mind, thought about the general plot before and after, and then called the jailer and asked him to prepare pen and paper.
In fact, most of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that he said to Zhang Huaijin before he had finished speaking, and the rhythm of the calculation has said that Guan Yu defeated Maicheng, and Cao Cao died, Liu Bei Tuogu, Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan, etc., and the story is also quite exciting.
The next day, Zhang Huaijin really came again.
Gu Qing was not polite, so she asked the jailer to set a low table and futon for her outside the prison door, so that she could record it through the prison door, and Gu Qing sat in the prison and slowly told the story of the Three Kingdoms behind.
Zhang Huaijin was completely attracted by the story Gu Qing said, and was amazed while recording, and sent a few sycophants to Gu Qing from time to time, "You are awesome", "You are so powerful", "It's so intense, people can't stand it" and other incomprehensible words.
Gu Qing tried hard to keep himself from thinking nonsense, and told himself rationally that Zhang Huaijin was praising his talent, not any other strange aspect.
So Gu Qing said that Zhang Huaijin wrote, and it took three days for Zhang Huaijin to record the entire story of the Three Kingdoms.
Rubbing his sore wrist, Zhang Huaijin said in amazement: "It's gone so soon?" ”
Gu Qing was a little unsettled, and tried to say calmly: "It's been very long-lasting,...... How long have you not counted in your own mind? ”
"Brother Gu, why are you unhappy?"
"Nonsense, it's been a long time, but you say it too fast, do you think I can be happy? …… Moreover, I'm talking about the story and nothing else! ”
Zhang Huaijin said with an ignorant face: "I also said that the story is too fast, otherwise what do you think I am talking about?" ”
Gu Qing felt that the car might turn over if he drove it again, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Take what you wrote and let me see it, and write a typo and fine 100 yuan." ”
Zhang Huaijin handed him a thick stack of manuscript paper, and pouted: "People don't know how to write mistakes, but I was forced to read by the second ancestor for many years, with my knowledge, it is not difficult to take the Jinshi exam." ”
Gu Qing quickly glanced at it, and had to say that the style of the prime minister's house was indeed different, Zhang Huaijin's handwriting was too beautiful, and there was a faint vigor in the handwriting, and every word could be copied as a copybook, compared with his own words......
It's still not comparable, it's not a grade at all.
The whole story of the Three Kingdoms is naturally not Luo Guanzhong's original text, Gu Qing doesn't have that much ability to retell Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms as it is, but the general plot and character portrayal are in place, and the plot of the important strategy and art of war is even more described, and the only difference from the original Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the omission of writing and trivialities.
"Go back and show the manuscript to your second ancestor, doesn't he like this story very much? After reading it, ask him to polish it again, revise the details, and don't move the plot. ”
Zhang Huaijin nodded in response, and said with a sudden: "After listening to Brother Gu's story, I seem to have had a big dream, those heroes who dominate the world are still dangling in front of my eyes, but unfortunately they all turned into a handful of loess in the end, the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu fought for it, so many heroes and strategists worked hard to dominate the world, but after all, they fell into the hands of the Sima family, it is really sad and lamentable......
Gu Qing also sighed: "Maybe this is the destiny of heaven, so many heroes have worked in vain all their lives, but the destiny is not blessed, heroes will eventually turn to dust, everyone has been destined to the ultimate destiny for us since birth, and it is difficult to escape." ”
Zhang Huaijin stared at him with burning eyes: "Brother Gu, do you also believe in fate?" ”
Gu Qing smiled: "My circumstances are rather peculiar, so I never believe in fate, if I believe in fate, I wouldn't be alive in this life, and I should have turned to dust many years ago." ”
"The wings of a butterfly can change many things, fate, but it is a natural stroke of chance, the wind blows, the birds call and the insects chirp, can make the wonderful pen tremble slightly, after the trembling, the pen is another scenery."
…………
Honglu Temple Qing Mansion.
Zhang Jiuzhang gathered under the dim candlestick, read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms recorded by Zhang Huaijin word by word with reading eyes, rubbed his eyes after reading it, and sighed: "It's really a wonderful idea, Gu Qing's talent, it is unfathomable, and it can add the history of the Three Kingdoms to such a situation, this book can be described as magnificent." ”
sighed for a long time for the characters in the book, and Zhang Jiuzhang began to polish the story of the Three Kingdoms told by Gu Qing.
Zhang Jiuzhang has been familiar with poetry and books since he was a child, and this kind of trivial matter is naturally easy to do. So Zhang Jiuzhang scribbled and ticked from the beginning, deleted some colloquial words and sentences, and added many antique sentences.
For two days in a row, Zhang Jiuzhang forgot to sleep and eat in the study, revised and polished Gu Qing's story from beginning to end, and it was the early morning of the third day after writing. ”
Reading it again, Zhang Jiuzhang was still amazed by the strategy and military art and political intrigue in the story.
"Such a strange book, the old man has a lot to gain from reading, if I read it by the generals of the Tang Dynasty, it should gain a lot, this book ...... It should not be buried in the people, but should be used in temples. ”
Zhang Jiuzhang muttered to himself, his expression gradually became firm, after getting up and washing, he tidied up his clothes, carefully picked up the manuscript, as if holding a rare treasure, and prepared the carriage and horse to go to Xingqing Palace.
Xingqing Palace, diligent government affairs in the main building.
Li Longji has been reading the story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms for three full hours, Zhang Jiuzhang entered the palace early in the morning, but Li Longji unconsciously saw the afternoon.
At the beginning, Li Longji was a little perfunctory, Honglu Siqing said that he wanted to present a strange book, Li Longji disagreed, but Zhang Jiuzhang was an old minister, and he was the younger brother of the former virtuous minister Zhang Jiuling.
Who knew that the first sentence of the opening chapter deeply attracted Li Longji.
"The general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time."
Li Longji muttered a few times, and his eyes suddenly lit up. In the eyes of ordinary people and politicians, the meaning of a sentence is different, Li Longji, as a political figure, has been a prince of peace for more than 40 years, and after seeing this sentence, he tasted many deep meanings that others could not understand.
"It's kind of interesting...... the smile on Li Longji's face gradually deepened, and then continued to read.
