Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 1073

Qin Lang was quite calm during this time.

Rexiao was in the body, and was taken back by the emperor, and led the army to resist the Tubo invasion. Qin Lang was ordered in danger, of course he could not refuse, but the situation in Songzhou was very good, so when the war situation was at a stalemate, he simply handed over all military affairs to the congregation Su Dingfang, the governor of Maozhou who came with troops from Maozhou.

I live in a hut by myself, wear sackcloth and filial piety every day, and concentrate on writing books.

The emperor personally made the Shinto inscription for Qin Qiong, which can be regarded as the conclusion of Qin Qiong's life. Thousands of words are eloquent, recalling the friendship between monarchs and ministers, remembering Qin Qiong's military life, a hero unrivaled in the world.

It is very official and full of praise, but after all, this is a Shinto inscription or an epitaph, the number of words is limited, and there are certain genre restrictions.

Qin Lang is writing these days, but he writes it in the style of a legendary storybook, trying to enrich the plot as much as possible, especially the way he writes the vernacular first.We must know that in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, ancient prose was still admired, especially since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was also influenced by the palace style, and it emphasized gorgeous diction and neat antithesis.

This is a test of skill at the level of writing, and it is very skillful. However, when you spread it, it is relatively small. After all, the writing is refined and processed, and it is still relatively concise. Although it is gorgeous, the number of words is limited.

For example, those old books and tales in the Han and Jin Dynasties, often tens of hundreds of words can complete a novel story. Although it is very refined, it is a bit dry, especially for ordinary people, it may not be able to understand directly. I can't even understand it.

This kind of concise writing method is actually related to the inheritance of Chinese characters. After all, in the past, words were recorded in the form of simplified scriptures, which was inconvenient to write, so we must reduce nonsense and write in one word, never using two words.Although paper began to appear in the Han Dynasty, and papermaking technology advanced by leaps and bounds during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was no printing in this era.

Still have to copy by hand, and the number of scholars is always a minority, they are the elite, so the books are as concise as possible, and those famous classics of sages are often only [-] to [-] words.

Therefore, who would write the vernacular that is usually spoken on paper? It is not cost-effective to waste paper, ink, and time and manpower for copying.

As far as Qin Lang was concerned, he wanted to write a personal biographical novel for Qin Qiong, not the kind of biography that would be attached to history books in the future.

With such a small number of words, how can Qin Qiong's legendary life of great achievements be accommodated.

Writing a biographical novel of Qin Qiong, not a biography, is the key point. To write such a biographical novel, in addition to recording Qin Qiong's real life experience, appropriate processing is definitely needed, and it must be artistic, and it must be able to be read among the public. spread widely.

Doing so does not remember Qin Qiong, but more importantly, it makes the Qin family famous.

If Qin Qiong can be further mythed, it will be extremely beneficial to the entire Qin family.

Therefore, Qin Lang finally decided to write according to the model he had previously written for Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Romance of the Three Kingdoms was Qin Lang's first semi-vernacular novel, a novel of the historical romance and chapter genre.

Although in later generations, it is believed that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not entirely vernacular and should be classified as half-literate and half-vernacular, but in this era, when this book was first published, it can be said that Luoyang paper is expensive, causing a sensation in Chang'an, and attracting countless people to pass it on. Turning historical romances into stories and writing novels has entered into the reprocessing and creation of art, which originates from history, but is somewhat different from history.

For example, respecting Liu and demoting Cao, and taking the Shu Han as the orthodox, these are all very unique perspectives.

After all, in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Cao Wei was the continuation of the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and then the Western Jin Dynasty received Zen from Cao Wei, and the Western Jin Dynasty was passed down all the way.

Of course, the most important thing is not to respect Liu and demote Cao, but to create a distinct image of a group of characters in the novel. Even if many of them are inconsistent with history and are criticized by some historians and scholars, how can ordinary people care about this?

Anyway, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms caused a sensation in the Tang Dynasty, making the new job of storyteller the most popular. There are countless stories such as Taoyuan three knots, three heroes fighting Lu Bu, cooking wine and discussing heroes, warming wine and killing Hua Xiong, riding alone for thousands of miles, etc. , All cited the praise of the world.

Not to mention that Guan Yu was not very famous in various dynasties, but because of the influence of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu's status among the people has risen rapidly. At that time, the imperial court directly issued an imperial edict to include Guan Yu in the national official worship.

We must know that Guan Yu was first enshrined in the Southern Dynasties, but at that time he was only a small town god, or even a town god in some places, not a big city god.

In the Sui Dynasty, the Buddhist temple in Mount Wutai invited Yang Guang and named Guan Yu the Dharma protector.

Now that the imperial court has included Guan Yu in the Zhongjia sacrificial ceremony, he has become a national god with incense and sacrifices.The official title given to Guan Yu by the Tang court was King Yiyong Wu'an, and Guan Yu was officially named king.

What Qin Lang wants to do is to write a Sui and Tang hero novel, Qin Qiong is the number one male lead, and then Wagangzhai becomes an important supporting role, basically follow the later Sui and Tang romances as the blueprint, and then properly synthesize Xing Tang Chuan, Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, etc., are written into a new Sui and Tang Romance.

Because it is still the Zhenguan period, most of the voters from the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties are still there, so there must be some revisions, such as the big villain Su Dingfang, who is one of his own, and must not be black again.

Another example is Beiping Wang Luoyi. In reality, he is now designated as a traitor by the court, even the traitor he personally picked and killed by Qin Lang. Of course, it is impossible to appear as Qin Qiong's uncle and a decent image.

Certain historical facts have to be respected, and Wang Junkuo and Luo Yi have to be villains.

Li Xuanba cannot be fabricated, and Wei Zheng and Xu Shiji cannot be written as two old-fashioned military advisers in Wagangzhai, let alone the young hero Luo Cheng, and Luo Shixin cannot be written as a big fool.

The images of Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, and others have to be changed appropriately to match the real situation.

But the general routine is still the same. Anyway, it is the heroic historical novel of the hero Qin Qiong. It has to promote Qin Qiong's brilliant life and describe him as a hero with unparalleled loyalty.

By the way, he praised Li Shimin, king of Qin, and boasted about Li Tang's righteousness in overthrowing the Sui Dynasty.

Qin Qiong will not be a fast catcher, and Cheng Yaojin will not be selling illicit salt. In the Sui Dynasty, salt was not monopolized and there was no illicit salt sale. However, around Qin Qiong and Wagang, it tells a story about the end of the Sui Dynasty. The hero story, or no problem.

The second elder brother Qin has to fight the six prefectures of Shandong with a mace, and the horse rides on both sides of the Yellow River, and Shan Xiongxin has to be the leader of the Shandong Green Forest, Xu Shiji has to be a resourceful military adviser, and Cheng Yaojin has to be a lucky general... ·
The title of this book is Biography of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is written in the same way as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and even more prominently focuses on the protagonist Qin Qiong.

Later, he asked people to engrave it, distribute it widely, and even publish it serially in newspapers, so that those storytellers can get another book that can attract audiences, and let the people of Tang Dynasty have another idol king to worship.

It would be nice to have Guan Yu, the righteous and brave Wu An Wang, and then Qin Qiong, the loyal Wu Wang who protects the country.

If this god is created, it will definitely be more effective than the death-free coupons given to the Qin family by the Li and Tang emperors.

With such a god in the Qin family, they may be able to live forever in the Tang Dynasty, and even operate well. After a few generations, they may have the opportunity to be consecrated. At that time, the Qin family in Licheng, Shandong may also be able to compete with Qufu, Shandong. The Kong family has also become a family of holy descent, honored for generations.

After all, in history, Guan Yu was indeed promoted from generation to generation, and finally became the emperor of Guan Sheng. The martial sage who was as famous as Qi sage Confucius even overshadowed the early martial sage Lu Shang Jiang Ziya.

Later generations will definitely think of Guan Yu when they talk about Wu Sheng, and rarely think of Jiang Ziya first.

With Su Dingfang on his behalf to lead the military affairs and defend against Tubo, Qin Lang felt at ease writing the book at home. Even because Su Dingfang did handle it well on his behalf, Qin Lang deliberately raised the image of Su Dingfang in the book.

You can't let people suffer in vain.

Of course, Qin Lang also thought about his position in the book for a long time, and finally decided to put on the template of Luo Cheng with the jade-faced cold gun, and let himself be the second male number in it, and become an idol. After all, he is Qin Lang In fact, he became famous at an early age, with meritorious deeds.

Su Dingfang sits in Leiguan, with Han Wei and others guarding it, Liu Lancheng sits in Ningyuan Army Town, Qiu Xinggong and Yugu Nixie Town, and many soldiers and horses are stationed in pass castles in Songzhou. Although it is not as good as the 20 people in Tubo, the Tang army has long been invincible.

Now there is no rush to play his banner, just continue to boil frogs in warm water and fish.

"Duke Wei, Zhang Wenyuan has returned from Ningyuan Army Town and brought back a great victory."

Qin Lang put down his pen and was very satisfied after listening to Zhang Chao who had rushed back from Ning Yuan to report the military results.

"General Liu deserves to be the toughest among scholars, and Qiu Xinggong is worthy of being called a butcher. This battle was fought beautifully."

Liu Lancheng sent Zhang Chao back to report the victory. Ningyuan Town defeated Tubo, killing more than [-] people, taking more than [-] prisoners, and capturing more than [-] horses...
"It's a pity that the prime minister escaped." Zhang Chao said with some regret.

Qin Lang didn't take it seriously, "Run away, you're just a bag."

After thinking about it, Qin Lang asked Zhang Chao to go to Ningyuan Town again, "Tell General Liu for me that this battle is going well, and all the soldiers should remember their merits. Please don't have to guard Ningyuan Town, don't attack lightly, and wait for my order."

"Also, put back the sons of Shang Nang that you captured."

"Let it go? Why?"

"it works."

Qin Lang smiled. "Although Shang Nang ran away, I have a plan. I can use a knife to kill people. I heard that although Shang Nang is not good at fighting, he has a good tongue, and has been in Tubo for many years, and his political skills are really good. Tubo Most of the reforms came from him, and this kind of person is actually far better than many generals, so he must be killed."
