A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 295
In the first year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, in March, the emperor issued an edict to divide the world into ten regions according to the situation of mountains and rivers, namely Guannei, Henan, Hedong, Hebei, Shannan, Longyou, Huainan, Jiangnan, Jiannan and Lingnan. Ten envoys patrolled the province and merged prefectures and counties.

The emperor appointed Dr. Zuo Guanglu, Yongzhou Mu, and Guan Guogong Yang Gongren as Guannei Dao Guanfeng Envoys to inspect and interview the Guannei states.

Yanzhou.

Wu Huaiyu received the news one day earlier than the official document from the imperial court.

The news was sent by Laiji, the secretary of the Economic Bureau and a direct scholar of Chongwenguan, and it was published in the first issue of the Beijing News. This newspaper planned by Wu Huaiyu has not been officially published until now, which can be said to be very difficult.

This Beijing News has a total of ten pages, and it is in the form of a folded page. When folded, there is a slightly thicker book cover at each end. The words "Beijing News" on it are also written in Wu Huaiyu's original style. Martial arts, together with Ou Ti and Chu Ti, are called the Three Tis of Calligraphers.

A total of [-] words is the inaugural issue.

The headline on the front page is naturally that the emperor has set ten ways in the world, appointing Yang Gongren, Li Xiaogong, Yu Wenshiji, Li Jing, Du Ruhui and other ten people as observers. This edict to patrol the world is almost directly copied, and there are no commentators. .

Guannei Road was within the geographical scope of ancient Yongzhou, and also governed the Hetao area of ​​Shuofang. The entire area under its jurisdiction was the north of Qinling Mountains, the east of Longshan and Helan Mountains, the south of Langshan and Yinshan Mountains, and the west of the Yellow River in the east of the river.

"This Beijing News is quite strange. It is actually faster than the official documents of the imperial court. The Bureau of Economics and Economics is very powerful." Dou Lu Huairang, the Sima of the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion and the Governor of Youzhou, now lives in Huaiyu's Yanzhou every day .

He drank oatmeal and read the Beijing News, amazed.

A total of [-] copies of the Beijing News were sent from Laiji, and they were delivered by horses along the post road. The substitutions didn't stop.

It takes more than 1000 miles from Chang'an to Yanzhou, and it takes only two days.

When the [-] copies of the Beijing newspaper were delivered, Huaiyu would naturally distribute them to the two counties in Yanzhou, and also to Lingzhou, Xiazhou, Qingzhou, and Youzhou next door.

"Hey, there is Erlang's frontier poem on it. I haven't seen this one before. Grape wine luminous cup. If you want to drink the pipa, immediately remind me. Lord Mo Xiao is drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times? This is cool. Zhou Ci is wonderful." Although Dou Lu Huairang is afraid of death and dare not go to the battlefield, he is also a man who likes to talk on paper, especially arty, and even a fan of frontier poetry. of.

He even asked someone to copy a lot of Wu Qingyang Frontier Poems at his own expense and gave them away.

This Liangzhou Ci has never been seen before, but it is very well written.

"Wow, there are actually two more songs in the back. This song is good for marching in the army. Qinghai is full of clouds and dark snow-capped mountains. The isolated city looks at Yumen Pass in the distance. The yellow sand wears golden armor in a hundred battles. If you don't break Loulan, you will never return it."

"Hiss, that's the taste, absolutely authentic frontier poetry, good poetry, good poetry."

"This song, the moon in the Qin Dynasty and the pass in the Han Dynasty, the people of the Long March have not yet returned, but the flying generals of the Dragon City are here, and Huma is not taught to go to the Yinshan Mountains. My God, Brother Wu, how much ink do you have in your stomach? Here are three classics, all well written, "

Liangzhou, Wine, General, Jinjia, Yumenguan, Loulan, Longcheng, Yinshan, these words automatically formed a beautiful romantic scene of the frontier in the mind of Doulu Concubine.

In the eyes of real battlefield veterans, fighting is actually cruel. Although everyone is vying to go to the battlefield, they are just fighting for their lives, tucking their heads in the waistband of their trousers and licking blood. There is only cruelty and no romance. .

But in the eyes of Doulu Huairang, who shrinks to the back every time he fights, it is full of bloody romance, and he can be excited when he imagines in the back.

He likes these frontier poems, just like he likes to hang a sword every day. It seems that this is very brave and heroic. This guy likes Huaiyu's frontier poems, even obsessed.

Now he is not only obsessed with Wu Huaiyu's poems, but even when he recruits some scholars and guests, he will ask them to write such frontier poems, but unfortunately there are few who can write this kind of momentum.

Wu Huaiyu just smiled.

This was before leaving Beijing. When I was studying the first issue with Laiji, Zhang Chengde and the others strongly urged Huaiyu to come up with some frontier poems, because his poems are now very famous in Chang'an, not only liked by many young scholars, but also After reading it, he abandoned his pen and joined the army. It is said that many ladies and daughters of the aristocratic families in Chang'an loved it very much. Wu Qingyang's poems have become a popular symbol in Chang'an.

In the end, even if you don't really understand or like it, you can become a fake fan for the sake of being arty and following fashion.

In order to gain fame after publication, Lai Ji strongly urged him to write several new works.

It has to be a classic.

This is not a problem for Wu Huaiyu. After all, these frontier poems are masterpieces of famous poets in the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning, he only recited them when he was in Longyou. Later, I stopped explaining that it is not a bad thing to have a romantic frontier poet status, especially when you have enough status, such an elegant name is very beneficial.

As for the fact that Wu Huaiyu doesn't know how to write poems, what does that matter, the magistrate of the county, which literati dare to mess with him.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t write propositional poems. It can be said that you don’t bother to write poems. Only when you have good inspiration can you write those really good poems.

Anyway, there are excellent works from time to time, who can deny his status as a poet.

It will only bring shame on itself.

Even Dou Luhuairang, who is a fan of frontier poetry after all, is so fascinated by these three poems. It is conceivable that this first issue of the Beijing News will be an instant hit.

In addition to Huaiyu's three new frontier poems, there are also legendary novels behind them.

The published legendary novel is called the Legend of Gu Jing, which was written by Wang Du, the elder brother of Wang Ji, a family member of the martial arts family. During the Sui Dynasty, Wang Du served as a censor, Zhuo Lang, and county magistrate of Ruicheng. Chijie went to the east of the river and the canal for relief, but he disappeared, probably among the thieves.

The Story of the Ancient Mirror left by him is a good novel, even the beginning of the legendary novels of Tang Dynasty, but it is still a continuation of the Six Dynasties Zhiguai novels.

The story unfolds in the form of Wang Du's self-narration. After the protagonist Wang Du got an ancient mirror from the marquis of Fenyin, he and his brother Wang Ji traveled with the ancient mirror to subdue demons. The whole story is about [-] words , there are more than a dozen small stories linked together, which are long in length and delicate in description, especially the strengthening of detailed description and character dialogue, which makes the whole story very talkable.

This is also called by later generations as an important symbol representative of the development from the fantasy novels of the Six Dynasties to the legendary novels of the Tang Dynasty.

After Wu Huaiyu and Wang Ji got married, the two had a good relationship. The Wang Ji brothers often went to the Wu family to give lectures. When Wu Huaiyu was collecting books for the East Palace, Wang Ji gave him a copy of this posthumous work of his brother.

Wu Huaiyu liked it very much after reading it. If this book is published on the Qidian website of later generations, it may only be regarded as old-fashioned, but in the Tang Dynasty, it is still quite explosive. Simple notes, strange stories and novels can be much richer and more delicate.

Wu Huaiyu deliberately chose Gu Jing Ji as the novel section of the Beijing News, and the name of the section is Legend, but because there are more than 5000 characters in total, it is serialized. This Gu Jing Ji has more than a dozen short stories, so it is divided into more than a dozen articles Serialization, an article is only a few hundred words.

In order to gain fame, Wu Huaiyu even wrote a story about a bearded man under the pseudonym of Qinglian Jushi, using the love story of Hong Fu, a singing prostitute in Yang Su's mansion, the Prime Minister of the Sui Dynasty, who boldly eloped with Li Jing as a clue, to describe the life of an aspiring Tuwang at the end of the Sui Dynasty. The story of the bearded man Zhang Zhongjian subdued in front of the true emperor Li Shimin and went out to sea to stand on his own has created the image of the three heroes of the wind and dust.

When Huaiyu showed this story to Laiji, he immediately liked it. Although Huaiyu didn't say who this Layman Qinglian was, Laiji didn't care.

Although Zhang Chuchen and Li Jing in this story are still there, and Li Jing is still an honorable minister, don't the common people like this kind of private story about a big man, especially this kind of romantic romance.

In this story, the present day is portrayed as the real man, and this is enough for them to release it boldly.

Although the part about Li Jing may have a lot of fictitious elements, but the story of Hong Fuye's running at night has been talked about all the time.

So this story is definitely more explosive than the ancient mirror.

Just to make up for the lack of Gu Jing Ji only containing a few hundred words at a time, the biography of the bearded guest will also be serialized in installments. When everyone reads the beginning, who can wait to see the sequel?
Anyway, after the son-in-law Lu Huairang marveled at the three new frontier poems, he found it quite interesting after reading the ancient mirror, but when he read the beginning of the story of the bearded man, he was already scratching his head.

"What about down there?"

"It's gone down there."

"Why is it gone? It's time to enjoy watching it, why is it gone?"

Concubine Doulu was in a hurry, "Erlang, hurry up and show brother the one behind,"

He thought that the Beijing News was also a book, just a book in separate volumes, and he was anxious to read the next one.

"Brother Doulu, this Beijing newspaper is published every ten days, and a new newspaper is published only in ten days, and the next one will have to wait ten days later."

"What, after reading a story, I have to wait ten days to see the follow-up."

"This is a serialization, and the next chapter will be picked up in ten days. But after the whole story is serialized, it is estimated that it will take ten or so issues, and the serialization will be finished in about three or four months."

"It's unreasonable," Dou Lu Huai said anxiously, "Can you tell me the story behind this now?"

"This is a serial, and the person who wrote this story is Lay Qinglian."

"Where is Qinglian Layman, I will go find him now."

"Lady Qinglian contributed to the Beijing News. It may be a scholar or even an official living in Chang'an, but we don't know who it is."

Li Jing was his master, he didn't dare to reveal that he was a Layman Qinglian, otherwise, if the disciple arranged master and wife like this, people would be labeled as deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors.

In fact, the real biography of the bearded man was written by people in the late Tang Dynasty. It is only about [-] characters in total, which is too simple. Wu Huaiyu has undergone in-depth secondary creation. It is written according to the mode of online writing. This love-hate entanglement between the three heroes , plus his family, country and world, which was obviously only [-] words original, he processed it into [-] words.

It has been planned for a long time to use the serialization model to attract manpower for the Beijing News. One issue will be serialized with a thousand words and one issue will be serialized with a hundred issues.

In fact, what attracts people the most about these legendary stories is their imagination. Basically, there are not many details, but compared with the dry subset of classics and history, there is still a market.

Dou Lu Huairang slapped his legs, and he immediately decided to write to the Beijing News's organizers, Donggong Sijing Bureau and Chongwenguan, strongly expressing his dissatisfaction as a reader, and even asked for the name and address of the author, Lay Qinglian, to be true offline. As long as you can get the manuscript and read it first, you can even spend a lot of money to buy it out.

Seeing him like that, Wu Huaiyu chuckled, he was too impatient, he wanted to release his favorite book to future generations, read a book he liked serially for ten or eight years without ending, and he still had to explode on the spot.

Be patient while reading!

Thinking back when he chased Zichuan, it was Ji Geng, who survived for more than ten years.
