After Song Mu woke up, Chang'an seemed to be in turmoil.
The reason is that His Majesty actually issued a declaration of war in the early morning, and it was hung outside the imperial city.
This edict stated that the northwest demon kingdom had suppressed and harassed the Wen Dynasty for many years, killing countless people. This time the Wen Dynasty specially mobilized heavy troops to inflict heavy damage on the opponent, and warned it not to offend easily again, otherwise it would cause a bloody storm.
Those holy words were extremely horrifying, and the people in the city were moved when they saw it, and they even knew about the terrifying situation of the demon invasion.
And on that day, many tabloids in the city also released a lot of news, saying that the northwest demon country had offended, making the situation in the Wen Dynasty serious, and causing the people of the Wen Dynasty to suffer, and their crimes should be punished.
Under such publicity, many people's agenda today immediately became the war in the northwest, and all of them cursed loudly.
When Song Mu also went to the morning court, he looked very surprised when he looked at the edict hanging outside the imperial city.
Master analyzed the situation with him only yesterday, but he didn't expect that this would become a reality in just one night.
And just as Master said, His Majesty's attitude this time is very tough.
Not only that, every word in these words refers to the demon country in the northwest, and there is no mention of the demon country in the east sea, which makes Song Mu find it interesting.
Even the officials who came to court today were talking a lot about this matter and each had some speculations.
However, Song Mu didn't say much about this. He was just cautious in his words and deeds. After the morning court, he headed towards the Hanlin Academy.
Now that this kind of thing has happened, what I can do now is to write and polish an article as soon as possible. If it can be published in "Tianwen Magazine" immediately, it can be regarded as riding on the east wind.
It's just that the focus here can be biased towards the northwest demon country.
Song Mu was thinking about this, and as soon as he left the palace gate, a person hurriedly came up behind him.
"The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty stayed behind."
When Song Mu saw that it was a eunuch in the palace, he quickly stepped forward and raised his hand. The other party also raised his hand towards Song Mu, and at the same time handed something into Song Mu's hand.
"Master Song, this is a letter from His Highness the Crown Prince to you."
The eunuch said this, presented the things and left in a hurry. Song Mu looked surprised and looked at the envelope in his hand in confusion.
A letter from His Royal Highness? But what are you doing to yourself?
Song Mu had doubts for a while, but he quickly returned to the Hanlin Academy, sat down in the Hanlin Academy, and then opened the letter.
Song Mu was a little confused about the purpose of the letter from the Prince of the East Palace.
As far as I know, this prince is a favorite. His Majesty only had this son twenty years after he ascended the throne. He is already the future monarch of the Wen Dynasty.
Song Mu also thought about his previous college examination. The article about learning he wrote at that time was also related to the prince.
"The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty personally informed Li Dong that he has been studying Confucian classics for many years. Recently, he read the essays of the imperial exams of the number one scholar. He was very confused. He petitioned his father to specifically invite the number one scholar to meet in the East Palace in the near future to resolve Li Dong's confusion..."
The article in this letter was not long, and the prince's tone was unusually calm. He just invited himself to the East Palace to talk about the article.
Song Mu thought that his essay for the college examination had been read by him, and Li Ao also knew about it, so he had to worry about it, as to when to go.
After making this decision, Song Mu solemnly put away the letter and immediately went to the library to continue completing the history compilation.
Song Mu felt like a fish in water in this library, and it also increased his knowledge and broadened his knowledge to a certain extent, which made Song Mu very happy.
Today, Song Mu also made rapid progress and quickly completed the compilation of historical materials for May of the third year of Qiwen.
Song Mu decided to work harder today, at least to bring this work to an end temporarily.
Then take the time to go to the Wenkan Pavilion and write the article first.
Just as Song Mu was thinking this, a figure came outside the library. Editor Tong appeared in front of Song Mu, and immediately caught sight of Song Mu who was copying the article. He walked forward slowly and said.
"Editor Song, how is your work done now?"
When Song Mu heard Editor Tong's voice, he quickly stood up and said with his hands in hand.
"My humble duty has been completed until May. Within the period of use of this library, I should be able to complete Qiwen's three-year history revision."
Editor Tong immediately raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He seemed to be very surprised. He also quickly stepped forward to see what Song Mu was working on. He was stunned for a moment.
Editor Tong also sighed in his heart, Song Mu deserves to be the number one scholar, and he did this matter much better than others.
Editor Tong was happy in his heart, but it didn't show on his face. He just nodded pertinently and then spoke to Song Mu.
"Editor Song, since you finished it so quickly, I will apply for the right to use the library for a few days again. This time the Hanlin Academy needs to revise some character records. The affairs of two adults are not detailed enough. In your hands As soon as I had time, I did it as soon as possible.”
Editor Tong immediately handed over a booklet in his hand. Song Mu was stunned when he saw this situation. When he was about to speak, Editor Tong opened his mouth and said.
"Editor Song, this matter is no small matter, but you have to take on such a big responsibility."
Song Mu looked hesitant when he heard this. After all, under his own arrangement, he could no longer tolerate any additional work. Moreover, Master Tong was not incapable of solving such matters.
So is this considered being targeted?
While Song Mu was hesitating in his heart, several people hurriedly walked through the corridor of the Hanlin Academy and came here.
"Where is the champion of Song Dynasty?"
When Song Mu and Editor Tong heard the sound, they both quickly looked over there and saw an eunuch hurriedly walking towards him. Song Mu also immediately put down the things in his hands and stepped forward to give them his hands.
Editor Tong suddenly became cold when he heard these words, and quickly got out of the way, but he was surprised in his heart.
When the eunuch saw Song Mu, he immediately stood in front of Song Mu and said in a deep voice.
"The number one scholar in the Song Dynasty has been issued by His Majesty."
Song Mu and Editor Tong looked at each other in shock when they heard this. At this moment, Song Mu quickly bowed, and the eunuch had already spoken.
"Please come to Nuange, the number one scholar of the Song Dynasty, to talk about it and help me solve my problems."
"I obey the order."
Song Mu quickly agreed, and when he stood up, the eunuch had already spoken.
"Song Zhuangyuan, let's not wait any longer, the carriage is ready."
Song Mu turned his head and glanced at Editor Tong next to him. Editor Tong didn't dare to say anything when he saw this situation. He just asked Song Mu to leave, but found that the book he was about to hand over was still in his hand.
I had just made a spur-of-the-moment idea. After all, Song Mu was extremely talented. With his help, he might be able to complete the job earlier and win a prominent position when the time comes.
But now that he saw that His Majesty was going to summon Song Mu, Editor Tong's expression turned a little thoughtful.
Recalling that the other party had a pleasant conversation with Lord Yan Fu not long ago, Editor Tong felt that he needed to think about this move.
It is difficult for His Majesty to remember him as the second best person in the rankings. How could Song Mu be so favored by His Majesty?
Song Mu hurriedly packed up his things, held hands with Editor Tong, and then followed the eunuch away from here.
After getting on the carriage, Song Mu breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that this should be able to push off the extra work. But was it because His Majesty summoned him in a hurry today to discuss the previous matter?
But it might not be that simple. Could it be that the current turmoil in all directions is related to the northwest demon country?
I am just a small Hanlin Academy official, how can I participate in the discussion of this matter?
With such thoughts in mind, Song Mu hurriedly entered the imperial city and hurried all the way to the Nuan Pavilion. When he entered it, he saw several people looking at Song Mu.
Among them were Mr. Han from the Ministry of Rites, Prime Minister Feng, and several ministers from various ministries.
Song Mu quickly handed over his hand, and Li Ao, who was sitting in the main seat of Nuan Pavilion, raised his head and saw Song Mu arriving, and spoke.
"Song Aiqing is here, come forward quickly."
Song Mu stepped forward in small steps and bowed in salute, while Li Ao had already smiled and said to Song Mu.
"Calling Song Aiqing over this time is a little abrupt, but there is one thing that must be done by Song Aiqing."
"Today I decided to send a letter to the Three Border Demon Kingdoms. The imperial edict has been drafted, but after thinking about it, I feel that it is best for you to write it."
After hearing this, Song Mu suddenly paused and looked up at the people in front of him.
