"What kind of thing is the little thing that the princess said is easier to implement immediately?" Yang Guang asked Xiao Er with great interest.

Since childhood, the concubine was fostered in her uncle's house, and the uncle had no intention of competing with the concubine's biological father for the position of the lord of the country, so he retired to the mountains and forests, and took pleasure in writing books and teaching all his life. Later, due to floods, the concubine was taken in by her uncle Zhang Ke and grew up in the countryside of Jingzhou. Although the concubine's uncle Zhang Ke was an ordinary farmer, the person he respected most in Su Ri was a poor Confucian student in the same village. The concubine mentioned this childhood experience to the prince tonight, in order to remind the prince that the Jiangnan people attach great importance to the name of the posthumous death, and they still write books and say that they will be passed on to future generations. The prince was ordered to pacify Jiangnan, it is better to start from recruiting Jiangnan sages and writing books and sayings, compared with the two things that the prince just said, it may be easier to get started. Xiao Er replied in a voice.

"Visiting Xian? Books? Let me think about it. ”

This night, Yang Guang stayed up almost all night, and thought about Xiao E's suggestion to him about the feasibility of starting to Fusui Jiangnan from the book written by the Xian, and how to operate it, so he sent Pei Yun to the council hall at dawn the next day to ask for his opinion in person.

"The prince was ordered to Fu Sui Jiangnan, and since the beginning of the visit to the sage to write the book, it is indeed a good policy." Pei Yun immediately agreed with the practice of visiting Xian to write a book on Fusui Jiangnan, and recommended to Yang Guang a hermit Gu Shi who lived on Lei Mountain on the outskirts of Guangling City, and suggested that Yang Guang personally invite Gu Shi to go out of the mountain and serve as the editor-in-chief of the books he compiled.

"Gu Shi? He is from the same clan as Master Xinyi, and is he also from the Gu family in Jiangnan? Yang Guang heard about Gu Shi's name for the first time, and couldn't help but ask Pei Yun about his details.

Pei Yun smiled slyly, nodded, and replied, "Exactly." The Gu family is the largest family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the descendants of the clan are all over more than 30 state capitals in the north and south of the river. ”

"I have heard that Jiangnan is a place where humanities gather, celebrities and scholars abound, do not hide it, last night I thought, should I go to the emperor to write to the emperor, from Chang'an to invite back Yao Cha, Xu Shanxin to serve as the editor-in-chief, compared with these two, what is the reputation of this Mr. Gu Shi you recommend?" Yang Guang continued to ask.

Pei Yun said with a smile: "Yao Cha and Xu Shanxin mentioned by the prince are both chaste and good ministers in the Southern Chen Dynasty, and they are also famous scholars and scholars in Sufu, but according to the knowledge of the lower officials, Yao Cha has now entered the East Palace as a guest of the prince, and Xu Shanxin has even been given the emperor's 'Ping Jiangnan, Only one person's praise, not to mention whether the emperor can let these two people return to Jiangnan, the following officials' understanding of these two people, only in terms of the fact that the prince wants to win over the Jiangnan scholars by visiting the sages and writing books, and then realize the purpose of Fusui Jiangnan, inviting Gu Shi to serve as the editor-in-chief is slightly better than asking the emperor to let Yao and Xu return to Jiangnan. If he is willing to accept the invitation of the prince to serve as the editor-in-chief, it is conceivable that as long as he speaks and only speaks to each other, there will be hundreds of Jiangnan scholars who will continue to gather in Guangling, and the master and apprentice will participate in the grand event. One pass ten, ten pass hundred, when the book compiled by Gu Shi has not been completed, and the prince pays attention to literary affairs, respects Confucianism, and the virtuous name of the scholar family has spread all over the states and counties, why worry about the injustice in the south of the Yangtze River? ”

When Yang Guang heard this, he was overjoyed, and even though he ordered Pei Yun to go out of the city with him to Lei Mountain to invite Gu Shi to write a book, he was stopped by Pei Yun.

"Lord Wang, the famous Confucians in the south of the Yangtze River pay the most attention to the eyes and hearts. Gu Shi was reluctant to go out of office, and he was an official in Nan Chen, but he looked down on Chen Xu's reckless military force and Chen Shubao's absurdity. If the prince goes in a hurry, once he doesn't talk to him, it will be difficult to invite him out of the mountain again. Xia Guan advised the prince to first list the items and outlines of the books that need to be compiled according to Gu Shi's expertise, and make full preparations before going to Lei Mountain. Moreover, Gu Shi and Gu Zi'er are distant relatives of the same clan, and the prince can also take her when he goes to Lei Mountain, and orders her to help the prince persuade Gu Shi to go out of the mountain. ”

When Yang Guang said this, Fang realized that he was acting in a serious way, and then he didn't understand what his true intentions were for a while when he proposed to visit Gu Shi with his wife, so he looked at him with an inquiring eye, without comment.

Pei Yun approached Yang Guang and explained in a low voice: "If Gu Zi'er sincerely helps the prince to care for Jiangnan, once she is really as the prince and the lower officials guessed yesterday, the prince imagines, will she let Gu Shi go out of the mountain and help the prince to help the prince to care for Jiangnan?" ”

Ten days later, according to Pei Yun's words, Yang Guang asked Mrs. Xin to accompany the princess Xiao E, only Pei Yun, Guo Yan, Li Jing two guards, changed into civilian clothes, and rode out of the city towards Lei Mountain in the east of Guangling City to visit Gu Shi, a famous Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River who lived in seclusion here.

In the hut covered by a bamboo forest on the mountainside, I met this famous Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River as I wished.

Gu Shi is in his fifties, medium in stature, speaks Wu Nong's soft language, and treats people quite kindly and friendly, which makes people feel close at first sight.

When Yang Guang revealed his identity to him and explained his intentions, Gu Shi did not reply immediately, but asked him: "The old man has long admired the heroic name of the prince, and I heard that the prince has been in the north for a long time, forcing the Turkic Shabalu Khan to bow down to the Sui Dynasty, and he also led the army to cleanse the south of the Yangtze River in the last year, and he can be called a young hero and a hero in the world." Since the prince has such martial arts, why did he invite the old man to go out of the mountain to compile a book? ”

Yang Guangzheng sat down, made a gesture at Gu Shi, and replied: "When Xiao Wang went to the year to unify the army to attack Chen, he deeply felt that the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are beautiful and have a long history, and it is a place where humanities gather. Mr. Jinwen was born in the Jiangnan Wang family, and he is very knowledgeable, so he specially invited Mr. to be the editor-in-chief of this book. ”

Gu Shi returned the salute to Yang Guang, and said humbly: "Gu is a shallow learner, lonely and unheard, and he claims that it is difficult to be entrusted by the prince, so it is better to ask the prince to ......."

His words of resignation have not yet been spoken, and the mind master who is sitting on the side recites the Buddha's name, and said: "When the poor nun was not married, he had heard his father mention Mr., saying that Mr. is the only one in my Jiangnan Gu clan in the past 20 years, a master and a wise man with both style and knowledge. ”

Gu Shi was hindered by etiquette, when Yang Guang and his entourage walked into the hut to meet, it was inconvenient to ask directly about the identity and names of Xinyi, Xiao E and others. Where are you from? ”
