"So, the prince can at least feel at ease." Jiang Tian finally concluded based on the experience gained in other time and space: "There is a high probability that this is a temporary spying incident, rather than a real spying behavior. Otherwise, , and the tail will not be docked so hastily.”
"So, should Gu really be happy?" Prince Li Hong let out a sigh of relief and smiled bitterly: "Obviously, even though we are thousands of miles apart, my mother is so afraid of me. It must have come from the prying eyes and eyes of the Wu family. Temptation will not stop because of this, it will only become more intense."
"That's why His Highness has to seize the opportunity to make this matter bigger!" Jiang Tian took advantage of the situation and said: "This is also a God-given opportunity for Your Highness to use the name of righteousness to clean up internal and external affairs with great fanfare and express his attitude! The Crown Prince is How can the world's most important people be peeked at by Xiaoxiao!"
"Whether it is public or private, the Holy Emperor will definitely express his opinion; as for the Queen, she must avoid it. Does she dare to risk the world's infamy and suspicion from both the government and the public by directly intervening in this matter? Therefore, the prince might as well To show my generosity, I propose to initiate a joint trial among the three departments.”
"Oh, this statement has not yet been born at this time; then I will explain it to you. It means that the Yushitai, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment jointly signed a public trial. Didn't you recruit a new one, Di from the Facao of the Bingzhou Dudu Prefecture? Huai Ying? He just used this incident as his touchstone and the beginning of his fame."
"By the way, doesn't His Highness still intend to open up his voice and spread the views of the government and the public? This may be a good opportunity to use the interrogation process as material and selectively publish it as a gimmick for regular public notifications; it will surely attract more Attentive and thoughtful people.”
"As long as His Highness is not afraid of just losing face for a moment, and builds a big enough momentum behind his back; so what if it is the Wu clan's relatives; I am afraid that in the end, there is a chance that the Second Saint will not be able to sit idly by; and must respond to the opinions of the government and the opposition. Public opinion, give His Highness a final explanation."
"What's more, His Highness gave a reason to retreat in order to advance; but those clan members, foreign ministers and nobles who were suppressed by the Second Saint would easily let go of such a legitimate opportunity to speak out? You can also see clearly from this. , which ones are speculators and which ones can be fought for.”
"Li Sheng is really... farsighted, and he can actually deduce so many benefits and losses step by step from this mere accident." Hearing this, Li Hong smiled bitterly again: "It makes me think, where are you? He is the reincarnation of an ancient sage and powerful person."
"Your Highness is wrong. The ancients are not human today!" Jiang Tian shook his head again and said: "The so-called reasons for the three generations of holy kings, the three emperors and the five emperors are mostly conjectures and imaginations of later generations, and they are just for innuendo. Contemporary things are deliberately far-fetched."
"As the saying goes, 'There are people from generation to generation, and the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead.' From ancient times to the present, after thousands of years and tens of thousands of years, the continuous development and innovation of the past dynasties, aren't today's people more advanced, richer, and more abundant than the ancients? "Could it be that those who are still clinging to the old ways are going back to their old ways?"
"Lisheng is really hitting the nail on the head, but it is also reasonable." Prince Li Hong smiled bitterly: "It's just that I have been familiar with the books of sages and classics since I was a child. I feel that it is still a little offensive. I don't know, during this period Is there any other, more specific explanation and inside story?”
"Of course." Jiang Tian also nodded, but the soul of later Internet trolls and trolls hidden in his body temporarily revived: "In other words, it can be regarded as something I have seen with my own eyes (film and television drama/history Documentary) some kind of scene!”
"Your Highness also knows that at the beginning of the ancient saint kings, the land was wild and they were used to eating hair and drinking blood. They had no thoughts of family and country, and no common sense. There were only scattered clans and tribes, fighting each other endlessly. Since before the Zhou Dynasty, Xia Qishang Tang Yi is also a murderer and blood sacrifice has become a common practice."
"Therefore, the so-called Yao, Shun, and Yu Tangs are not in the true sense that the emperor is the supreme emperor in the world; rather, he needs to lead his tribes to conquer the wilderness and overcome obstacles, and finally he is respected by all tribes as the leader who acts in coordination; therefore, both You can’t be monopolistic, and you don’t have much enjoyment.”
"Although he is called the co-leader of each tribe, he lives in a slightly larger shack and thatched hut, eats barbecue and raw meat, and uses pottery utensils; there is neither the ritual entertainment of bells ringing or cauldrons, nor the There is no pomp and ceremony of chariots, horses, and crowns; there is only a lot of tedious battles, development, and work."
"Such hard and complicated responsibilities can easily lead to a short life, or even early death due to chronic illness; how can you still think about the descendants of your family? Naturally, if you have the opportunity to abdicate as soon as possible, you should quickly get rid of your responsibilities and let others Others will take care of it; this may be the first surrender.”
"Could this be the truth about the original Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the three generations of ancient rule?" After hearing this, Prince Li Hong couldn't help but be a little stunned, and then he sighed repeatedly: "Every time we talk to Lisheng, there is always something refreshing. (apostate) senses!”
"Prince, do you think I am exaggerating and exaggerating? In fact, it is very simple to verify what I said." Jiang Tian once again scratched his chin with his paw and said, "Just find the 'Oracle Bone Inscriptions' handed down from ancient times." Yes, it is naturally recorded in it.”
"Oracle Bone Inscriptions, what's the origin of this!" This time, Prince Li Hong was really surprised, but he basically had no doubt about the other party's statement; "It sounds like it is a text that has been passed down in ancient times, but are there still some left in the world? It turns out that , has Gu become ignorant and ignorant now?"
"It's not that I'm ignorant. In fact, no one has noticed it since the past dynasties. It won't be known to the world until at least more than a thousand years later." Jiang Tian continued to explain: "Oracle bone inscriptions, as the name suggests, are specially engraved on tortoise shells. , bone tablets, with words used for divination and recording events.”
"Therefore, its historical origins go back to earlier, the bells and tripods inscribed on bronze objects. Therefore, it is also one of the most important evidences for later generations to verify and study the three generations of Xia, Shang and Zhou. More importantly, it is Compared with bronze, which is easily corroded and damaged, there are more of them in existence.”
"In this case, please ask Mr. Li to teach me how to obtain the source and provenance of this 'Oracle Bone Inscription'?" At this moment, Prince Li Hong couldn't hold himself back. He stood up and shook hands and saluted: "As long as everyone in the East Palace is... If you still have enough energy to spare, you should spare no effort in dispatching and assigning people."
Because his identity and position as a supervisor are enough to make him aware of the huge connections and potential benefits involved; it can even become an important basis for consolidating his own status and influence. However, Jiang Tian's answer surprised him and was particularly incredible.
"In pharmacies, there is a medicinal material called dragon bone. It is said that the shed bones of ancient dragons can strengthen the spleen, astringent the intestines and stomach, stop diarrhea and thirst. It can be seen as early as the Three Kingdoms period, Wu Pu, a disciple of Hua Tuo, wrote "Wu Pu's Materia Medica" "; Mixed with it are some oracle bone fragments dug out from the ground."
"..." Prince Li Hong's face turned green and red, and he almost stopped talking on the spot: "Li Sheng, you are saying that these ancient relics of oracle bone inscriptions are actually within easy reach of the world. But it has never been recognized by anyone, and can only be concocted into medicinal materials and used in vain!"
"Perhaps His Highness the Crown Prince has taken it without realizing it." Jiang Tian continued with malicious interest: "The dragon bone ground into powder is said to be able to calm the Yang and calm the mind. It is commonly used among the people. It’s quite big. Maybe it’s also in the medicine store in the East Palace.”
So half an hour later, a bone fragment with a few scratches was found from the inventory of the Medicine Storage Bureau and placed in front of Prince Li Hong. However, he was still a little unbelievable. He rubbed the faintly visible scratches on the damaged bone fragments with his hands and sighed:
"Is it really an ancient writing left by the sages? It's a pity that there are too few in existence. I need to collect more samples and examples before I can compare with the surviving bells and tripods and work out the interpretation; however, it has been handed down from generation to generation. It’s a classic, I’m afraid it’s going to be a big shock.”
It would be fine if it were someone else, but as a prince of the current dynasty who has been reading classics since he was a child and is famous for being familiar with ancient books, how could he not know that this discovery alone is enough to make him surpass the princes of the past dynasties and most of them have been lost in the annals of history. , and it has been passed down through the ages in our lifetime.
What's more, it may also involve the truth and inside story of the three ancient times; as well as the corresponding Confucian classics passed down by later generations, especially the fallacy of the Six Classics handed down by the Confucian sages. As the prince, he mastered the interpretation of oracle bone inscriptions, and he had the invisible protection of reputation.
"Li Shengcheng doesn't deceive me. He really has experienced the ancient times." However, he said apologetically: "It's just that you are so kind to Gu, but it makes Gu feel helpless. Although Gu Kong has the East Palace, position and the status of supervising the country, but I don’t know how to repay Lisheng one or two things.”
"No need, I'm just doing it casually, just to create greater fun." Jiang Tian also shook his head again and said: "However, I think that as long as the prince uses it properly, it should be of great benefit to your actions at the moment. It’s a benefit. It can also be considered as compensation for the temporary damage to your reputation.”
"That's right!" Prince Li Hong nodded heavily and said: Not to mention other things, just convening research and textual research, the newly discovered oracle bone inscriptions are enough to attract talents from all over the world to join us; even some well-educated people who were not subject to imperial conquest and lived in seclusion in the mountains. Scholars and famous scholars will also flock to him.
Used well, it can even prove its own righteousness and strengthen the legitimacy of the Tang Dynasty to enjoy the destiny. If the queen mother deliberately exerted pressure during this period, it might not be impossible to reproduce the story of Shangshan Sihao during the Han Dynasty; however, Li Hong soon calmed down from his exhausting thoughts.
Because, at this moment, he had some regrets and regrets as to why he did not have a healthy body, and more time and life span to fulfill many wishes and goals. Despite this, he still issued an order to send people to the Yinxu hometown in Anyang to conduct secret excavations.
Of course, as such an important trump card, confidentiality and precautionary measures must be taken in advance. Not only must we not slow down the rectification and purge of the East Palace, we must also intensify the efforts; we should think that it is hidden from people's eyes and ears, and then slowly release it step by step.
Then, when he had dinner with the Crown Princess, he asked her to find a suitable opportunity and reason in private to improve the treatment of Zheng's mother and daughter living in the inner house; it would be best to arrange it in a position where they can be easily looked after; The raccoons living there may be a kind of indirect preferential treatment and goodwill.
