The Romance of the Three Kingdoms can be listed as one of the four masterpieces, which naturally has its uniqueness.

The most attractive thing about it is that it is a fictional plot based on historical facts, including the art of war, strategy, politics and diplomacy and many other aspects.

If the story Gu Qing said was a Dream of Red Mansions, maybe Li Longji would cover the volume after reading a few pages, and at most it would be rare to praise a sentence, and maybe he would look at Jia Baoyu left and right in the book.

If Gu Qing was talking about the Water Margin, Li Longji might be furious and extend Gu Qing's sentence by the way.

As for Journey to the West...... Monk Xuanzang has been dead for less than a hundred years, but there are lessons to learn, where did the monkeys and pigs come from? There are so many mysterious and strange gods and ghosts, and they are the Jade Emperor and Rulai, is it an ornament to be the emperor? What's more, Xuanzang in the book actually swore brothers with Emperor Taizong...... Hehe, this is a trick to die.

Therefore, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Gu Qing came up with is the most suitable.

The content of the book is based on historical facts, and many examples such as strategy and politics in the book are quite to Li Longji's appetite.

So Li Longji gradually raised his interest, starting from the Taoyuan Sanjieyi, his interest became stronger and stronger, and it was a little perfunctory to read the manuscript at first, and he looked solemn after only reading a few pages, and he began to read it seriously.

Zhang Jiuzhang knelt and sat down, his expression was as indifferent as an old monk, and at noon, under the quiet reminder of Gao Lishi, Li Longji was shocked, but he couldn't bear to release the volume, and ordered to prepare a banquet and give Zhang Jiuzhang a banquet.

The wine and food were brought into the hall, Li Longji ate without knowing the taste while flipping through the manuscript, and Zhang Jiuzhang unceremoniously drank and coerced vegetables, a Romance of the Three Kingdoms will be read for a long time, and Zhang Jiuzhang will not be wronged to wait.

In the strange quiet atmosphere, the monarch and the minister did not say a word, and it took more than half an hour to finish a meal.

The wine and food were withdrawn, and Zhang Jiuzhang continued to settle down.

Li Longji's expression became more and more solemn, sometimes after reading one page, he was not in a hurry to turn the next page, but looked up at the beam on the roof of the palace, not knowing what he was muttering, and nodded thoughtfully before continuing to turn the next page.

Reading that Zhao Zilong Changbanpo entered and exited seven times, Li Longji praised him for hitting the knots, and called him a fierce general. Reading that Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows from the grass boat, Li Longji laughed, and even praised the wisdom of Wolong's strategy, pitiful Wu Zhong Zhou Lang, and read that Guan Yu was defeated and took Maicheng, and was finally killed by Wu Guo, Li Longji sighed gloomily and felt lost.

Reading that the stars fell into Wuzhang Yuan, and finally the Sima clan usurped Wei, and the Three Kingdoms finally returned to Jin, Li Longji didn't know what he remembered, and suddenly covered his roll and cried.

"This book...... It can indeed be called a strange book, Zhang Qing, who wrote this book? Li Longji asked in a choked voice.

Zhang Jiuzhang got up and said, "Qingcheng County Marquis, Gu Qing did it." ”

Li Longji was stunned: "Gu Qing? ”

Turning over the manuscript again in disbelief, Li Longji quickly glanced at it a few times and said in surprise: "Gu Qing can make such a strange book?" Impossible, right? ”

Zhang Jiuzhang said indifferently: "The minister didn't dare to deceive the king, it was indeed done by Gu Qing, it was recorded by the minister's niece and granddaughter Huaijin, and the minister added or deleted some in the details, but the stories and strategies and diplomacy in the book were all made by Gu Qing alone, and the minister guaranteed it with his life." ”

Li Longji was still shocked and said: "He is only in his twenties, and the strategy and art of war in the book can be called a peerless wonderful pen, and I have benefited a lot from reading it in many places, and what is even more rare is that these characters and stories do not deviate from historical facts, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a book of strategy for the art of war...... Gu Qing is only twenty years old, how could he write such a shocking book with his experience? This...... It's incredible. ”

Zhang Jiuzhang still said calmly: "The minister also felt incredible when he first read this book, but it was indeed said by Gu Qing himself, it was really written by him, the minister had to believe it, if you want to ask the reason, it should probably be a peerless talent, Your Majesty, there are many people in the world, some people can just be born to know, and they can't believe it." ”

Li Longji was silent for a long time, and sighed: "I still underestimate Gu Qing's talent, this person's talent is not in poetry and scriptures, but in governing the country and securing the country, and it is of great use in the country." ”

Zhang Jiuzhang said with a smile: "Young Langjun, the use of the country, will come for a long time. ”

Li Longji smiled: "Yes, it's been a long time." Thank you Zhang Qing for dedicating the book, I am just strange, this book Gu Qing has been talking about it for many days, why didn't he take the initiative to dedicate it to me? ”

Zhang Jiuzhang smiled bitterly and said: "Gu Qing's original intention of dictating this book is actually to pass the boring time for the minister's niece and granddaughter, and tell it to her as a children's story. ”

Li Longji was stunned: "Such strange books are nothing in his eyes?" How talented is Gu Qing's son? ”

Zhang Jiuzhang sighed: "That's the case, later the minister accidentally saw what his niece and granddaughter wrote, and looked at it with curiosity, and was immediately shocked, in order to ask for the next chapter, the minister even gave up this old face to beg him to dictate in person, but Gu Qing's shaft was quite impatient, and only said so many chapters when he was in a good mood or bored, and the minister waited patiently for a few months, fortunately, this time Gu Qing was in the prison of Dali Temple, maybe he felt bored and boring, so the story was finished. ”

Li Longji shook his head with a smile: "It seems that this son's talent is far more than that, I will have to pay more attention in the future, and often take out some useful things from his mouth." ”

patted the manuscript on the table, Li Longji sighed: "With this book, it is not too much for me to give him another knight,...... Haha, but forget it, Gu Qing is too young after all, and it is not a good thing to be too prominent, there are newcomers such as Gu Qing in the Jiangshan Dynasty, why should I worry that the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty cannot be eternal? "58 reading

Zhang Jiuzhang's purpose in dedicating the book was completely for Gu Qing, he had personally read this book and knew the extraordinary book of this book, and the purpose of dedicating the book to Li Longji was to make him pay more attention to Gu Qing.

There is also a purpose that Gu Qing is a junior that Zhang Jiuzhang particularly admires, seeing that this junior has run into trouble and has been in the prison of Dali Temple for many days, Zhang Jiuzhang is a little distressed, so he hopes that Li Longji will spare Gu Qing's remaining sentence for the sake of this strange book.

However, looking at Li Longji's appearance at the moment, after admiring and admiring, he didn't seem to have the slightest intention of releasing Gu Qing, Zhang Jiuzhang's purpose was in vain, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, so he had to get up and retire with interest.

After Zhang Jiuzhang left, Li Longji still flipped through the manuscript from the beginning with great interest, even if he had read it once, he still couldn't put it down.

Gao Lishi quietly leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, what Zhang Siqing said just now ...... meaning"

Li Longji stared at the manuscript with his eyes and said without raising his head: "I know that he wants to intercede for Gu Qing, and hopes that I can issue an order to release Gu Qing from Dali Temple in advance." ”

Gao Lishi said puzzledly: "Your Majesty appreciates this book so much, Gu Qing can be regarded as meritorious, why don't you ...... Your Majesty"

Li Longji shook his head and said slowly: "One thing is one thing, Gu Qing is certainly amazingly talented, but the mistakes he made must also be punished, if I forgive him this time, I am afraid that he will become more and more arrogant in the future, and there is no one in his eyes, if such a person is used by the country, after all, it will be more than a failure, and it will be a disaster for the country." I don't want to see Gu Qing look like that in a few years. ”

Staring at the manuscript, Li Longji praised again: "It's really a good book, how can Gu Qing's exquisite mind be so long, he can actually come up with such a wonderful strategy, did he read the book of soldiers when he was a teenager?" ”

His eyes gradually fell into deep thought, and Li Longji muttered: "It can be seen from this book that Gu Qing is quite talented, and it was the right choice to make him a martial artist at the beginning, however, the real general is not on paper and pen, but in the real battle array, Gu Qing should hone his talents, otherwise he will be a Zhao ......Kuo on paper after all."

Gao Lishi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and he bowed his head and didn't dare to say more.

After a long time, Li Longji closed the manuscript and said: "General Gao, order to go down, this book will be bound and engraved by the palace supervisor, printed into a book, not allowed to circulate among the people, print less, and hand it over to the generals of Chang'an and the envoys of the Ten Towns to read, explain that they must read it carefully, and after reading it, write a note to me, and tell them their views and benefits of this book." ”

After speaking, Li Longji picked up the pen and wrote four words at the top of the first page of the manuscript, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

The title of the book was inscribed by the royal pen, and Gu Qing's name was finally taken seriously by the generals in the army this time.

…………

On the edge of Weishui, where spring flowers were blooming, Zhang Huaiyu hurried to the outside of Chang'an City on horseback.

Le Ma stopped and looked at the city gate palace wall of Chang'an in the distance, Zhang Huaiyu showed a bitter smile.

After two years, she had returned to this place, a place she didn't like to escape from in the first place.

The bustling capital, the hustle and bustle of the mansion, everything set off her heart more and more cold and lonely.

I inexplicably remembered what Gu Qing once said, "Everyone in the world is a patient, and everyone has a disease in their heart, and they all have a stubborn disease that cannot be touched and cured. ”

Yes, Zhang Huaiyu is not a patient.

Whip the horse forward, dismount in front of the city gate, and after Zhang Huaiyu entered the city, he came to the gate of Zhang Jiuzhang's house.

This was Zhang Jiuling's mansion, Zhang Huaiyu's family lived here when he was young, and later Zhang Jiuling died, and the children of the Zhang family were all officials in other places, so the house was left to Zhang Jiuzhang.

The guards at the door all knew Zhang Huaiyu, and when they saw her coming in white, the guards were stunned for a moment and saluted one after another, and then hurriedly stepped forward to lead the horse and fall into the stirrups.

Zhang Huaiyu walked into the door of the mansion alone, bypassed the wall, passed through the courtyard, and in the front hall, a middle-aged man in a plain robe and not angry was sitting in the hall, bowing slightly and chatting with Zhang Jiuzhang.

Seeing this middle-aged man, Zhang Huaiyu's eyes turned red, and he almost burst into tears, but after trying to hold back, he took a deep breath and saluted on the stone steps of the front hall.

"Father, Huaiyu is back."

The middle-aged man was Zhang Huaiyu's father, Zhang Zheng, who turned his head to look at him when he heard this, and saw Zhang Huaiyu standing under the stone steps outside the hall, and after looking at her, Zhang Zheng nodded and said lightly: "Coming?" Go to the backyard to clean up, and come back in the evening when the house is having a banquet. ”

Zhang Huaiyu's heart was gloomy, and he should have been calmly.

Between father and daughter, there is indifference.
