Chapter 10: A Changing World

Back in the dormitory, Ye Qiange took a bath, and when he was bored, he thought about understanding the world.

The best and most direct way is to read a book.

"Someone, take me to the imperial study!"

"The Imperial Study? Is the prince going to Chongwen Palace? The maid blinked, looked down and thought for a while, and said.

The corners of Ye Qiange's mouth twitched, he had watched too many court dramas in the Qing Dynasty, and the three words of the imperial study blurted out.

"Yes, lead the way." Coughing to hide the embarrassing atmosphere, Ye Qiange touched his nose, feeling that he had been poisoned by Qing Opera.

All the way, there is about half a pillar of incense.

Ye Qiange sweated heavily, fortunately, there was a palace maid leading the way in front, otherwise he would just rely on himself to wander around, and he didn't know when he would find it.

The place where the books are stored in the palace is called Chongwen Hall, and it is an extremely magnificent palace. Surrounded by trees, Chongwen Hall is lush and green, and it is exceptionally quiet and lonely.

waved away the palace maid, and Ye Qiange stepped in.

As soon as he entered, Ye Qiange saw many palace maids and eunuchs, waiting with low eyebrows and obedient eyes.

"I've seen the prince!"

Ye Qiange nodded, frowned and continued to walk inside, and after passing through a bead curtain, he saw Xu Yichan.

Xu Yichan was frowning and correcting the folds, seriously considering the way she was thinking, which made her have a unique sense of beauty.

It is said that men who do things seriously are the most handsome, and when women are serious, they are not the most beautiful.

"Your Majesty, the prince is here."

Xu Yichan raised her eyes and saw that Ye Qiange was a little dissatisfied and said, "Why are you here?" ”

"I'm going to read the book." Ye Qiange shrugged.

Xu Yichan looked at Ye Qiange coldly, a little annoyed in her heart.

Can you find a suitable reason to be a good deceit?

Ye Qiange was a little embarrassed, and the Empress obviously didn't believe herself, and said, "Am I here in the wrong place?" ”

He didn't know that the Chongwen Hall was divided into two courtyards, the east and the west, and the east courtyard was open to the royal disciples for them to consult and view.

The west courtyard is the emperor's study, and on weekdays, the emperor will review and read the folds, or discuss state affairs with the ministers of the court and the central government, and will be here.

"There's a book there, go read it for yourself."

Xu Yichan snorted secretly, I want to see how you pretend to be.

The west courtyard is not smaller than the east courtyard, and there are many books on display, Ye Qiange saw Xu Yichan bowing her head again to review and fold the music, no longer caring about herself, so she walked quietly to the bookshelf on the side.

The books on the shelves are sorted and neatly arranged.

Ye Qiange went straight to the bookshelf where the history books were stored and began to select them carefully.

After picking seven or eight books in a row, Ye Qiange found a place to sit down and began to read intently.

Xu Yichan has been secretly watching Ye Qiange, and there is always a wisp of ridicule on the corner of her mouth.

Regarding Ye Qiange's initiative to ask to read books, Xu Yichan maintained a resolute attitude of disbelief, she knew very well how tired Ye Qiange was of studying.

Since Ye Qiange learned to read and write, he left a total of thirty-nine teaching gentlemen, and after a period of trouble, no more gentlemen in Chang'an City were willing to come to teach him.

"Pretending." Seeing Ye Qiange's concentrated appearance, Xu Yichan sneered, "See how long you can pretend?" ”

Half a pillar of incense, or even half a pillar of incense is not needed.

Ye Qiange on the side was immersed in the history books, completely unaware that Xu Yichan was secretly watching him.

His eyes were fixed on the book, his breathing was becoming rapid, and his face was full of shock.

The history of this world is like a mutated history of China.

Since the beginning of the Shang and Zhou periods, history has entered a turning point.

At the end of the Shang Dynasty, a meteorite fell from the sky and fell ten kilometers outside the Shang capital.

Since then, internal forces have emerged.

With the passage of time, people summarized according to the characteristics of internal force, and explored and innovated on this basis, countless martial arts exercises appeared, and later gradually developed a martial arts school.

Ye Qiange put down "History of Martial Arts", and his heart was extremely shocked, martial arts actually came from a meteorite outside the territory.

He took a deep breath and calmed his mind, then picked up another history book and looked at it seriously.

Xu Yichan was absent-minded, she squinted at Ye Qiange from time to time, but every time she found that Ye Qiange's posture remained unchanged and she was intoxicated with reading.

It's almost two hours.

Her beautiful eyes flickered, and she had long lost the heart to review the folds, when she suddenly saw a booklet on the table and took it and looked at it.

"Listening to the Pavilion to meet friends with the piano." Xu Yichan muttered, and a line of displeasure couldn't help but cross her eyes.

Listening to the sound pavilion, as soon as you hear it, you will know that it is not a good place.

Yes, this booklet records all the things that happened outside the palace outside the palace today.

Xu Yichan browsed quickly, the light in her eyes gradually increased, and her pretty face began to ripple with surprise.

"I actually robbed Cai Xian and the three of them more than 50,000 taels of silver!"

"Playing "Mountains and Flowing Water", the piano art is overwhelming, and the guests who blatantly refuse to enter the curtain with butterfly clothesβ€”β€”"

Xu Yichan's head was a little dizzy, and she felt as if she was watching the history of the rivers and lakes.

The plot is ups and downs, exciting, and unexpected, and what is even more incredible is that the hero of all this is Ye Qiange.

She knew that Mo Mo didn't dare to scribble, and the content of the booklet was nine times out of ten true.

But even so, she couldn't believe that Ye Qiange, who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, suddenly became a master of piano art, and also composed a masterpiece that can be passed down through the ages.

Another hour passed.

The sky outside the window was already dim and weak, Ye Qiange finally finished reading a few books, he stretched his waist, and exhaled a long breath of turbidity.

After reading the basic history books, he had a relatively systematic understanding of history.

After the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, martial arts were in the early ascendant, and they once competed with a hundred schools, but because of their lack of depth, they were not recognized by the mainstream.

Until the Qin and Han dynasties, martial arts entered the vigorous development, the sects sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, there were as many as hundreds of records, and there were many people who learned martial arts, and the chivalrous style prevailed in the world, so there were many rangers.

Later, the Qin Emperor swept away Liuhe, swept the Eight Desolations, and dominated the world, because he was repeatedly assassinated by the warriors, and in a fit of rage, he issued a ban on martial arts, and began to kill the warriors on a large scale, and many Jianghu sects were destroyed in one fell swoop.

In the Han Dynasty, there were signs of martial arts rising, but the good times did not last long, and soon Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty proposed to depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism, and the great prosperity of martial arts was blocked again.

......

Although there is more martial arts, history has its huge inertia, so it has not changed much, such as Confucius, Mencius, Mozi, Zhuge Liang and so on.

But there are also those who have been drowned in the long river of history and have never appeared. It's like playing "Mountains and Flowing Water" in the Boya and Zhongzi period.

Until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in dispute, the Three Kingdoms were established, Sima destroyed Wei, the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin, and the Jin Dynasty lasted for more than 200 years.

Ye Qiange secretly estimated that according to the historical era, the current Great Xu Dynasty is equivalent to the Tang Dynasty.

Putting the books back on the shelves, Ye Qiange saw Xu Yichan looking at him with a faint gaze, with curiosity and doubt.

"What's wrong?" Ye Qiange said.

Xu Yichan shook her head and said, "Have you finished reading?" ”

"Well, I didn't expect it to be dark." Ye Qiange glanced at the booklet in Xu Yichan's hand and smiled, "Do you want to continue?" ”

Xu Yichan was a little flustered, and hurriedly put the booklet under the book, and stood up, "No need, it's time to eat." ”

Ye Qiange nodded, and walked out of the Chongwen Hall with Xu Yichan.
