Chapter 39 Li Jing, the god of war

Just when the three people in the East Palace were discussing the details of the academy.

Two thousand newspapers were also quietly scattered throughout Chang'an.

In just one noon, it quickly aroused discussion among the citizens of Chang'an.

And one to ten, ten to hundred. There is a trend of intensification.

"Have you read the newspaper?"

"Newspapers, what's that?"

"Oh, you don't even know the newspapers?"

"I know, I know."

Some well-informed people began to spread the content of the newspaper report spontaneously.

"This journey...... Ahem, it's not a thing. ”

"That's right, how many lives of good women have been ruined. And these little brothers, pitiful, were ...... by this Give coercion. ”

……

"I didn't expect Your Majesty to personally carry the coffin for the courtiers, there is a king in the Tang Dynasty like this, the world is lucky."

"That's right, I'm afraid this Du family won't be able to fall in a short period of time."

"I have a different opinion, no matter how strong Your Majesty's holy family is, it depends on whether the descendants of the Du family fight or not."

"Somewhat."

β€œβ€

……

"What is this Li Ji Ice Shop?"

"Make ice and sell ice, and there is ice at this time, is it really fake?"

"Let's go, take a look, if I really have it, I'll buy some, I can heat up someone this year, my ice cellar has already bottomed out."

"I'll go, I'll go......"

"Go together, go together."

……

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open a peaceful ...... for all generations"

"In just four sentences, I have exhausted the ambition of my life's scholars."

"Be arrogant, be a big white."

"You see, the newspaper says that these four sentences came from the mouth of a fifteen-year-old boy."

"What, fifteen?"

"Donggong attendant, Weinan County male, Zou Guogong's youngest son."

"Tianzhong Wizard, Tianzong Genius, fellow students, I want to visit this young lord who has done his best to be a scholar of my life, who is willing to go with me?"

Taipingfang, Naturalization Fang, Anrenfang, Xuanyi Fang, Pingkang Fang......

The people of the restaurants in Chang'an Dafang City talked endlessly, and some praised His Majesty for his broad-mindedness and inclusiveness.

Some quietly and whispered condemned Cheng Biting Jin for bullying men and women, and for moral degradation.

There are also those who were tortured by the scorching hot weather and couldn't stand it, and went straight to Dongshi, it can be imagined that Li Chengqian and Zhang Zheng are about to make a small fortune.

And many young scholars, especially those from poor families who studied in Guozi's prison, have already taken Zhang Zheng's plagiarized four sentences of Hengqu as a guideline.

It was the older generation of readers, and when they saw the four sentences in the newspaper, they were also shocked in their hearts, and vaguely recalled the eventful years of those years.

Many people even thought of seeing the young man who released such a bold statement.

It's a pity that the east palace wall is high and deep, and how many people can't enter it, so they give up.

There are also people who do not give up, and after learning that Zhang Zheng also has an identity as the son of the general of the dynasty, they actually ran to wait in front of the Guogong Mansion and vowed to see Zhang Zheng.

Frightened, the housekeeper Lao Zhou thought that the scholars gathered to storm the Guogong Mansion, so he hurriedly closed the door.

Zhang Zheng didn't expect that he accidentally became an idol star in the hearts of Chang'an readers because he was a copyist.

A small newspaper shows its power in a very short time.

……

At this time, construction was underway around the Sifang Building.

However, the rooms in the lobby of the main courtyard of the Sifang Pavilion were not affected in the slightest.

In the room, Ju Wentai was holding a newspaper in his hand and reading it with relish, and he was very engrossed.

In the room, only Zhang Huan, the general of the Gaochang Left Guard, who was first whipped by Zhang Zheng and then beaten by a group of gentlemen, stood aside and waited.

"Interesting, General Zhang, this..."

"Newspapers."

Zhang Huan reminded Ju Wentai in a low voice.

"Where did this newspaper come from?"

After reading the contents of the newspaper, Ju Wentai took the paper and rummaged through it in his hand. asked Zhang Huan, who was presenting the newspaper.

"Back to the king, it seems that a small servant from a certain high-gate mansion distributes this kind of newspaper for free at the gate of the Sifang Pavilion.

At the end, the general saw that its content was witty and interesting, unlike the official newspaper of the Tang Dynasty, and there were national events recorded on it.

I took a copy, thinking that I could relieve the loneliness of the king a little. ”

"Given out for free?"

Ju Wentai sighed lightly.

"Yes, I didn't take a penny."

"Interesting, General Zhang might as well check the source of this newspaper in his spare time, this king is very curious."

Ju Wentai put down the newspaper and instructed Zhang Huan in front of him.

"Yes, the last general commands."

The envoys of Gaochang were different from those of other countries.

Perhaps it is because Gaochang was originally a country founded by descendants of Han Chinese who migrated during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Most of the people in the country, including the lord Ju Wentai and his bodyguard Zhang Huan, have some Han blood in their veins.

Therefore, I am quite familiar with the etiquette law.

Other foreign envoys, after entering Chang'an, have committed many illegal things, or are jealous, or fight and brawl.

Only the envoys of Gaochang entered the Tang Dynasty, except for the conflict with the people.

When it is not necessary to go out to buy supplies, most of them stay in the Sifang Pavilion and neither cause trouble nor make trouble.

It was as quiet as a little transparent, so the Tang Dynasty had a good image of the lord of Gaochang and the civil and military courtiers who accompanied him.

……

In the lobby of the office of the military department, one of the six departments, an old man who was not wearing an official uniform knelt on the main seat.

He wore a snow-white round-necked gown, a azure placket, and his gray hair was casually tied into a bun with a wooden hairpin.

The eyes are clear and the atrium is full, the boots are casually discarded aside, and he is only wearing a full coat, and his appearance does not look like seventy or eighty, but also seems to be more than fifty.

Holding a scroll of bamboo slips that has long been eliminated by today's readers, he is shaking his head and groaning.

It's hard to imagine a learned scribe.

The old man who did not wear the official uniform of the imperial court and did not deal with any government affairs of the Ministry of War turned out to be a Zhengyin Hall official.

If he were someone else, so careless, ignoring the court's dress laws, he would have been impeached into a sieve by the imperial history who pickets the manners of discipline officials.

It's just that this old man, even if he is the most demanding about these things, Shangshu Zuo Cheng Wei Zheng, can't afford to care.

So who is this old man, it is the god of the army of the Tang Dynasty today - Li Jing, the acting prince of the country.

Since Du Ruhui's death, no one has held the post of secretary of the military department.

In desperation, Li Er had no choice but to take out Li Jing from the idle family, throw him to the military department to hang up the title of secretary of the military department, and make a mascot.

The mascot here is literal.

Li Jing's military exploits were so great that even a monarch as eloquent and strategic as Li Er felt a trace of unease.

Therefore, after Li Jing destroyed the Turkic class and returned to the court, he called Li Jing into the palace and talked all night, and no one knew what they talked about.

I only know that Li Jing entered the palace once, and after coming out, he returned to his home and closed his door, which can be regarded as isolated from the world.

Some people speculate that the content of the conversation was to the effect that Li Shimin said that you should give Lao Tzu some acquaintance, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless.

Li Jing said okay.

Therefore, even if Li Jing received the title of secretary of the Ministry of War, he still did not have any power in his hands.

It's like an old cadre who is about to retire all day long, receiving his salary according to his salary, and not doing anything anyway.

Most of the daily government affairs of the military department are handled by two squires.

If you really encounter something that can't be handled, you can also play Li Er directly, and Li Er will make a decision.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

"Li Shangshu, the official asks to see you."

There was a knock on the middle door of the lobby of the military headquarters.

Li Jing put down the bamboo slip in his hand, and saw that it was Fang Tong, one of the two directors of the Ministry of War, who knocked on the door, and said softly: "Come in." ”

Fang Tong obtained Li Jing's consent, and then stepped into the threshold of the lobby.

"What's the matter?"

Li Jing didn't raise his eyelids, picked up the bamboo slips that had just been placed on a few cases and continued to look at them.

This Fang Tong is also a wonderful person, seeing that Li Jing didn't look at him, he was not annoyed, but replied with a smile:

"I got a novelty from the official, it's quite interesting, bring it to Li Shangshu to see."

Fang Tong said as he presented the newspaper he had just gotten from Dongshi.

Li Jing saw Fang Tong say this, and saw that what he handed over was a piece of paper, and it was not a precious thing.

He reached out and took it.

I was attracted by the word shock in the title, and then subconsciously looked at the content below.

I was unconsciously attracted by the content.

Fang Tong saw that the goal was achieved, and he didn't stay long, and said: "The next official retires." ”

Li Jing waved his hand, but his eyes still did not take his eyes off the newspaper.

Seeing this, Fang Tong consciously withdrew from the lobby.

……

"Interesting."

After a while, Li Jing finished reading all the contents of the newspaper, and he didn't even let go of the four big words of advertising and investment.

"It's funny, I don't know who this butcher knife will end up on."

Li Jing muttered to himself, and one hand knocked out a knocking sound on several cases.

Li Jing, as one of the most outstanding people in the military family for thousands of years, was so outstanding that an emperor like Li Er, who had great military achievements, felt threatened, and his sense of smell was so keen.

After just a few glances, I felt that this piece of paper was unusual.

The more I read it, the more frightened I became.

"The Art of War: Attacking Chapters" says: A soldier who surrenders without a fight, and a good man is also a good man. Therefore, the army is attacked, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is to attack the city.

A small newspaper actually gave Li Jing a sense of absurdity in his heart.

However, Li Jing is a generation of military gods after all, and he soon discovered something unusual from it.

Whether it is the praise of Li Er, or the slander of Cheng Biting Jin, or the bold words made by the young man in the East Palace.

All of them are stirring up the remarks of the people of Chang'an.

"Someone."

Li Jing shouted outside the door.

"What does the general command?"

When the sergeant guarding the entrance of the military department heard Li Jing's summons, he immediately stepped into the lobby of the military department and knelt down on one knee to give Li Jing a standard Tang military salute.

In Datang, as long as it is a person in the army, no one does not admire the old man who kneels and sits on the head of the military department.

Moreover, most of the soldiers used to call the old man a general, not a representative of the country, let alone a scholar of Rausch.

"Go out and see how many people are talking about this."

"Yes."

Li Jing handed the newspaper to the sergeant in the hall, and the sergeant clenched his fists and took the order.

……

After a stick of incense, the sergeant returned to the military headquarters, and the result was not bad from what Li Jing expected, and the whole Chang'an was talking about it.

"I see."

"But against those old guys, relying on these alone, there is not much chance of winning, Your Majesty is still a little naΓ―ve......"

Li Jing stroked his beard and muttered to himself with a clear expression.

Combined with the movements of the court in the past few days, I guessed the things behind the newspaper.

"Wait for the old man to add fire and help His Majesty ......"
