In Xiaojiazhuang in Chang'an City, Pei Ji found Old Li Yuan in a panic.
"Third Master, a new book, a new book, the story sent by the Prince Consort's letter has begun to be published. I have someone copy it for you to see."
Old Li Yuan became more and more fond of fishing, almost to the point of obsession. When Pei Ji called him, he just raised his eyelids and kept staring at the fish float on the water.
"Oh... just put it here. This guy is thousands of miles away. It's too slow to publish a book. It's not as interesting as fishing."
"Third Master, the story this time is different. It is not about gods, demons, and monsters. It is a kind of historical storybook. The Prince Consort said it was based on the "Three Kingdoms" written by Chen Shou of the Shu Han Dynasty. It tells the story of the melee between the Three Kingdoms in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It is extremely exciting. "
After Pei Ji's strong recommendation, Old Li Yuan reached out to take the storybook, opened it and scanned it. But soon, his eyes were attracted by the wonderful stories inside, and it seemed that the golden horses of the late Han Dynasty appeared before his eyes. When Pei Ji called him again, he couldn't wake him up and was completely addicted to the book.
"Let me tell you, if you fish every day, how can the story of the Prince Consort be as interesting? With the popularity of Journey to the West, this book of Three Kingdoms will definitely become more popular, and production must be increased."
With that said, Pei Ji turned around and arranged for the workshop to increase production.
He doesn't like fishing, so he doesn't understand the joy of fishing. People who like fishing become more and more obsessed with fishing. How many people bring dry food to the river to fish all day long, and go to grab a good fishing platform at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. It can be said that fishing is a real industry. Develop a hobby to its extreme.
Xiao Rui only posted the first ten chapters. Old Li Yuan saw Tianhei in one breath, and finally finished reading it. He saw Cao Cao's army to avenge his father. What happened next? My heart was itching unbearably, the book in my hand was torn and torn, and the back was gone, leaving only a cover.
Old Li Yuan was so angry that he really wanted to throw this thing into the lake in front of him. He didn't even have an appetite when the servants brought him food.
At night, when he calmed down, he sighed with emotion: "How did this kid get such a big brain? Looking at the storybook he wrote, it seems as if he was really living in the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty. Could it be that he has seen it with his own eyes? I have also read Chen Shou's Three Kingdoms. Haha, but compared to this, it's boring... No, this boy's story is all-encompassing, even including soldiers on the battlefield and officialdom. In this way..."
"No, we must not let this book get out. How can the art of war be taught lightly?"
"Xuanzhen, Xuanzhen..."
Old Li Yuan put on his clothes and called Pei Ji at night.
The next morning, Pei Ji took a carriage to Chang'an City, entered the palace to meet the emperor, and presented the Three Kingdoms script, along with the Emperor's opinions.
There is no doubt about the charm of the storybook. Li Er, who was so diligent, actually stopped reviewing the memorial and read it in one breath without eating or drinking. He exclaimed that it was wonderful and enjoyable! It's just too short. What about the back? It would be better if I could finish it all at once, it would be too appetizing.
"Come here, please ask the pharmacist to come. Xiao Rui, a bastard like this, loves to pretend. He is young and ignorant, does not know how to maneuver in officialdom, has never fought in a war, and has no knowledge of government affairs... Bah! The things in this story are... How can a person who knows nothing write it?"
"What are you imagining from the Three Kingdoms? I have also read the Three Kingdoms. Isn't it just a history book? Can it be the same as this one?"
"It seems that this kid has great potential. I must squeeze it out the next time he is recalled!"
After reading the storybook, Old Li Jing also admired it quite a lot. He agreed with Old Li Yuan that such picture albums can be used in the military and cannot be easily left outside. The reason why the Tang Dynasty was able to deal with enemies around it was because the Central Plains Dynasty was good at using military tactics.
Although there are not many military tactics in this thin book, it still has high practical significance and is easy to understand. It would be bad if it falls into the hands of foreigners and they learn it.
After listening to the opinions of several think tanks under his command, Li Er decided that this book "Three Kingdoms" could be printed, but instead of being sold on the market, Li Er would buy it himself. Then he gave some generals who could be trained and used it as a military book.
The people didn't know about Xiao Rui's military book, but it quickly spread in the Ministry of War. Some people think that Xiao Rui, a young boy, knows nothing about the art of war. Is he the only one who writes military books? But there are also those who know the stuff and can give it to the emperor as a reward. I guess it’s a good thing.
Of course, the most knowledgeable person is Cheng Motou, who has had personal experience. When he first met Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui helped him make a plan. After a month, he defeated Luo Yi and achieved great success, which shows that Xiao Rui has the ability to win a thousand miles away. Talent, the Art of War he wrote? Tsk tsk, I, Lao Cheng, must watch it.
In the small study room of Taiji Hall, Li Er threw a book over in annoyance: "Okay Zhijie, a great general crying and crying looks really awkward and not suitable for you. Don't you just want to read a book? Here it is for you. .”
Lao Cheng immediately changed his expression and said with a simple and honest smile: "Isn't this a shameless time, my Majesty? Your Majesty said that I will reward you. I have not made any merit, so if you don't cover your face like this, how can you ask for it?"
Li Er smiled and cursed, waved his hand and said: "I was going to give you a copy of this thing. I usually ask you to read more military books, but you excused yourself by saying that you are a bigot and don't like reading. This time is different, Xiao Rui's book It’s a storybook, and the art of war is used in the story, which is much more interesting than the previous art of war.”
"Oh? I can't wait any longer. Thank you, Your Majesty. I will retire and go back to study."
"Wait a minute, this thing is important and must not be told outside. If a foreigner steals it, there will be endless troubles. Just study with the children."
"Yes, I'm awake!" Cheng Yaojin hurriedly put the things in his arms carefully.
Li Er suggested: "Xiao Rui repaired Huai Mo last time. Go back and tell him not to hold grudges. We all grew up together and will be the pillars of my Tang Dynasty in the future. I hope to see a group of children loving each other."
oh? Old Cheng Xin said that His Majesty really doted on this son-in-law, and he did not forget to help with the matter when the son-in-law was away.
"What your Majesty is saying is that there is no way to hold grudges when a group of juniors are playing around. I have always been lax in my discipline of that boy Huaimo. After Xiao Rui's repairs, he has grown a lot. It's too late for me to thank him. If it hadn't been for him After being sent to Youzhou, I want Huaimo to follow Xiao Rui all the time. If I can learn a lesson, I won't worry."
"Haha, there will be many opportunities for these brothers to work together in the future." Li Er saw that Lao Cheng understood and sent him away with a smile.
But if you leave quickly, you can come back quickly. After reading it in one breath, Lao Cheng exclaimed that it was wonderful. His thoughts changed quickly, so he took his son Cheng Huaimo and entered the palace.
Li Er didn't even think about it, what was he doing?
"You said you want Huaimo to go to Youzhou now and study next to Xiao Rui?"
"I'm not afraid of your majesty's jokes. I am a reckless and rough man. I don't like reading, so I only know how to pass family tricks. I wanted my sons to practice literature and martial arts so that they can become talents in the future. But a few boys are similar to me. They don't like studying. My strengths are limited. I am not good at teaching children, so I have always wanted to find a good husband."
"The fact that nephew Xiao Ruixian can write such an easy-to-understand military book shows his talent. Coupled with his excellent martial arts skills, Huaimo is also convinced by him. Isn't this the best gentleman? I beg your majesty to help you!"
Seeing that Lao Cheng was going to do the crying scene again, Li Er was really scared and waved his hands quickly: "Okay, okay, I agree, I agree. You and your son should get up quickly. I will write a letter to you." Take Huaimo with you, and then send someone to send him to Youzhou to find Xiao Rui."
"Don't talk about studying. They are peers. Let's learn and help each other. Huaimo is also an adult. When it's time to become an official, I will reward you with a thousand cattle to prepare yourself. I went to Youzhou and worked hard with Xiao Rui. I'm waiting to see you make meritorious deeds."
Cheng Huaimo is still in the clouds. Why isn't my father crazy and wants to send me abroad suddenly? Youzhou is thousands of miles away and I don’t want to go. How nice are the military camps nearby?
Lao Cheng kicked his son down and said, "Idiot, why don't you thank me quickly?"
Cheng Huaimo was taken home by his father in a daze, and it was only when he got home that he explained the cause and effect.
Cheng Zhijie's performance made Li Er's heart light up. Yes, Xiao Rui is an all-rounder in both literature and martial arts. If the children can learn something from him, wouldn't it be better than studying in a school?
Sigh... It's a pity that Cheng Qian is only ten years old, too young. He should wait two or three years.
Your Majesty, we have a quick report of eight hundred miles in Youzhou, a great victory in Youzhou!
Lao Gao, the chamberlain, held an urgent message and trotted into the Tai Chi Hall.
