Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Chapter 106: Admiral Tiance vomits blood, Princess Changle’s wedding day! !

at the same time.

Li Shimin was heading to Hongwen Hall with the books Cheng Yaojin brought back from Yan Kingdom.

Although Li Shimin didn't understand much about these books, they were all highly praised by the Yan Kingdom, and were even their mainstream books.

and so.

Li Shimin wanted to let Hongwenguan solve the riddle. After the riddle was completed, it would bless the world.

"Confucius, everything is in trouble."

Li Shimin asked solemnly.

Kong Yingda looked at the books brought by Jin Wuwei, took a deep breath, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, Hongwen Museum will definitely not disappoint you."

Li Shimin nodded, very satisfied.

Afterwards they exchanged a few pleasantries and left with the people.

Hongwen Museum.

Kong Yingda led a pair of Jinwu guards in.

This team of Jinwu Guards holds a large stack of books in their hands.

Kong Yingda took them all the way to the library.

"Okay, everyone, please be careful and put it down slowly, so... thank you very much."

Kong Yingda cupped his fists and said.

Li Shimin attached great importance to these books that Cheng Yaojin brought from Dayan. After thinking about them for a long time, he finally chose to hand them over to Hongwen Museum.

After all, no matter how you say it, Hongwen Hall is also composed of the most top scholars in the Tang Dynasty.

Their wisdom, Li Shimin thought, should be able to figure out the mysteries in these books.

"Library owner, what are these? Where did the books come from?"

Yu Shinan came over.

Not only him, but also a large number of masters in Hongwen Hall got the news that the owner of the hall had brought back a large number of rare books, so they all came over eagerly to take a look.

As scholars, their favorite thing is reading.

"Yes, Chongyuan [Kong Yingda's word], what book is your Majesty's reward? Eh! So many, so many!" Gaiwenda also exclaimed.

Kong Yingda laughed and said, "His Majesty said these are Dayan's treasured books and are extremely important, so he asked us to sort them out."

"Then, use this to thoroughly understand Dayan's education situation."

Great inflammation!

Gavinda took a deep breath when he heard this.

The empire of Dayan has been a hot topic in Chang'an City recently.

After all, Admiral Tiance rarely failed in his military life. He was defeated by Dayan and even sent his favorite daughter, Princess Changle, to get married. There were too many topics to talk about.

Also, the fact that most of the refugees in Youzhou have gone to Dayan in recent months is also worth talking about.

Great Flame is so mysterious to the imperial court, and it is even more mysterious and unpredictable to the people.

Therefore, Gavinda and others were looking forward to the books brought back from that place.

What could it be?

Duke Lu specially brought back the contents of the books from that place.

"Then what are you waiting for? I'll take a look soon."

Gavinda couldn't wait any longer. He picked up a book and read it eagerly.

Yu Shinan and other masters couldn't help it anymore. They came over one after another and picked up a book each. They wanted to see the book Cheng Yaojin brought back from Dayan at a great cost. What was there in such a precious book? The mystery.

"Slower, slower."

"Hahaha, don't break it. I haven't read these books yet."

"You also remember to take good care of these books. These are all brought back from Great Yan by Duke Lu. It can be said that he has put a lot of thought into them and is extremely important."

Kong Yingda quickly reminded.

Many masters nodded in agreement.

only….
After counting interest.

"Damn, what a stupid book this is!"

"Bang!!"

There was an angry roar, and an old master threw the books in his hands on the ground. His eyes were scarlet and extremely angry: "Your Majesty, and Mr. Lu, are you trying to humiliate us scholars?"

"Dayan, do you just want to read books like this? No, even this kind of thing is worth writing a book and worth wasting paper?"

"It's an insult to politeness, huh! I don't disdain the company of this gentleman! What a bullshit rare book!"

The old master was very angry and cursed repeatedly.

Suddenly, everyone in the library looked at him.

Kong Yingda also lifted up his robe and walked over quickly.

"Master Liu, what happened? What is going on?"

Kong Yingda asked quickly.

Master Liu pointed to the books on the ground: "Chongyuan, go and read it yourself. This book stains my eyes, so I am too lazy to pick it up."

Kong Yingda was slightly stunned, and then picked up the book with great confusion.

"This this…."

When he saw the title of the book on the cover, his expression suddenly changed.

"[Postpartum care of sows]? Paper is inherently precious. How could Dayan waste paper writing such a third-rate thing? This...is this really a rare book from Dayan, not a cheap book?"

Kong Yingda, who has a "literary character", couldn't help shouting.

"Hahaha! Rare books? Cheap books are the ones! [Postpartum Care of Sows], I have a mother, do you even sell books like this in Dayan?"

"The barbaric land is indeed a barbaric land. They are deep in the Great Flame in Mobei. It seems that it is because the soldiers' individual strength is higher than that of our Central Plains soldiers that they defeated us. But in their minds, they are still just a bunch of people. It’s just paste.”

"Not bad! Look, this is a [signal for breeding sows]. It's insulting to politeness. My eyes, no, I have to wash them quickly."

"The people in Dayan used to seem mysterious, but now they seem to be nothing more than that. They really haven't seen anything good. It's ridiculous to read such a book, and His Majesty even brought it back!"

"......."

The crowd burst into laughter.

Raising pigs?

Even if it is known recently that pork is edible, it is such a lowly industry that farmers should mess with it. What does it have to do with scholars like them who stand above everything else?
Just like in the past, raising sheep, farming, working, etc. were all what farmers should do. What does it have to do with their noble scholars?
As scholars, they only need to read the books of sages!
But now, pig raising has been written into a book and can be placed in the books of saints and sages, which really makes them angry and angry.

Da Yan couldn't help but laugh at him.

"Maybe when Lu Guogong bought it, he didn't examine each book one by one, so he brought the cheap books back to the Tang Dynasty."

"Wenda, go and bring a brazier. If you find a book like this, burn it directly. Our Hongwen Museum will never put such a book."

Yu Shinan ordered.

Hearing this, Gaiwenda also agreed with the suggestion. He turned around and was about to get the brazier, but was stopped by Kong Yingda.

"No, no, no!"

"This is a book that His Majesty gave me at the Hongwen Hall. Even if it is to be burned, I should ask His Majesty for permission."

After all, Kong Yingda is the owner of the museum, so he will have more issues to consider.

"Chongyuan, if you continue to keep this kind of book, isn't it like making fun of scholars like me? I won't allow this kind of book to be put together with books by saints and sages!"

Yu Shinan refused.

He wished he could burn these cheap books right now.

Kong Yingda was about to speak, but at this moment other voices sounded from outside the museum.

"What's wrong with Hongwen Hall? Why are you hearing the quarrel from so far away?"

Pei Ji walked in from outside.

Immediately, all the masters in Hongwen Hall saluted.

"Pei Sikong."

"Pei Sikong."

"......."

Pei Ji nodded and said with a smile, "What are you guys doing?"

Kong Yingda smiled and said: "We are solving the mystery of the books brought back from Dayan. I wonder why Pei Sikong came here without time?"

Why did he, Pei Ji, come back?

Naturally, it is also because of these books!

After the morning court this morning, he and the family officials gathered together to discuss.

at the meeting.

They were all sure that Li Shimin wanted to popularize books all over the world so that ordinary people could read books, which would harm the rights and interests of their family.

Therefore, Li Shimin's behavior must be stopped and those books must be destroyed!
For this reason, Pei Ji, on the advice of many family officials, came to Hongwen Hall to find out how to destroy these books.

Of course, the real reason cannot be told truthfully.

After all, Hongwenguan and Li Shimin wear the same pair of pants.

So Pei Ji smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just lack some books in the house, so I came to Hongwen Hall to see if there are any rubbings."

Kong Yingda suddenly realized: "I see, what kind of book is there for Pei Si's vacancy? You might as well tell me so that I can help you find it."

Pei Ji shook his head: "It's not urgent, it's just you guys, what were you arguing about just now? I heard it from all the way outside the library."

"This..." Kong Yingda hesitated to speak.

Those cheap books were sent by His Majesty after all, and he also specifically asked them not to be made public.

He would not say.

But the upright master said bluntly: "Pei Sikong, it's not like Dayan."

"them……."

The master began to tell what had just happened.

Kong Yingda wanted to stop him, but he finally retracted his outstretched hand.

Maybe in his heart.

Those cheap books were not worth his trouble.

After hearing the cause and effect, Pei Ji almost laughed in his heart.

On the way, he was still worried about how to burn the books brought by Dayan. As a result, the masters in Hongwen Hall wanted to burn these books.

What a joy, what a joy! !
Although he was happy in his heart, he was trembling with anger on the outside: "Damn it! These books from Dayan really violate the standard of our Datang Hongwen Library to only accept books by sages!"

"Come on!!"

He drank heavily.

Soon several guards from the Pei Mansion came over.

Pei Ji ordered: "Go and burn these books! We can't let them stain the reputation of our Hongwen Museum!"

The guards of Pei Mansion took orders.

They came forward to burn books, and the masters even helped them.

"This, no, no!"

Kong Yingda said no.

Pei Ji said solemnly: "Confucius, you don't have to worry. I only burn those cheap books. I won't touch the good books like tonight's Chinese grammar."

Kong Yingda felt a lot better after hearing this, but he was still a little worried and said: "Pei Sikong, why don't you... ask your Majesty for instructions?"

Pei Ji snorted coldly: "Huh! Confucius, as Sikong of the Tang Dynasty, I have the right to deal with these cheap books. There is no need to ask your Majesty for instructions!"

He wants to kill first and then show off.

Regardless of whether these books are cheap or not, they are all burned.

As for Li Shimin's subsequent blaming, I'm sorry, even the Hongwen Museum thought it was a cheap book, so what's the harm in burning it?
Li Shimin burned the books without asking him for instructions. That was indeed... Pei Ji's fault, and he was willing to be punished for it.This was Pei Ji's idea, and receiving the punishment... At this juncture, how could Li Shimin dare to punish him too harshly?

now.

Kong Yingda was said to have no idea at this moment, so he could only stand aside and watch Pei Ji lead the people into action.

soon.

The brazier was carried up.

Pei Ji's guards were responsible for burning the cheap books, while the masters got into the action of censoring the books.

One "cheap book" after another was burned.

And there are more and more ashes in the brazier.

"What is this? Such a strange and obscene skill can also be used in the library of my Hongwen Pavilion? Huh, if a saint sees it, I'm afraid they will scold me for deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors! Burn the guards over there quickly This book.”

"It's a joke, it's really a joke. Give me a stick that's long and strong enough. I can move the sun. Isn't this a complete illiteracy? Is it true that Duke Lu brought all the books to the Tang Dynasty and burned them?" .”

"That's outrageous. Who really knows what this is? What kind of things did Lu Guogong bring? I thought there was some unique collection of sage books, but it turned out... there was nothing at all."

"Is this arithmetic? It's just arithmetic, and it's an equation? Is this qualified to be compiled into a book? It's really crazy."

"Library owner, these books are almost all full of strange and obscene techniques, and they are all unfashionable things. After looking for them for so long, there are only one or two that are good enough."

"Who says it's not true? I don't have anything good here. Pei Sikong, please help your guards. Burn these. All of them will be burned."

"......."

In the library, all kinds of complaints came and went.

This side falls, that side rises.

Kong Yingda sat next to the stove, his eyes were a little dazzled.

He had to read every book before giving it to the guards of the Pei Mansion to burn.

After all, no matter how you say it, these books were brought by Li Shimin to help them solve the puzzle. In a sense, they are Li Shimin's book collection.

Before coming, I also said with great sincerity that I had to decipher the meaning and it was a heavy responsibility.

But….
Kong Yingda read them all one by one.

Indeed, as other masters have said, they are all messy books with no serious content at all.

Kong Yingda sighed, handed the book in his hand to the Pei Mansion guard again, and watched him throw the book into the fire with his own eyes.

This process lasted for a full quarter of an hour.

At this moment, Pei Ji smiled so hard that his mouth was about to burst.

Before he came, he came with the idea of ​​offending Li Shimin and wanted to burn these books.

I never thought that it would go extremely smoothly.

Li Shimin’s Hongwen Museum has to help himself!

soon.

In the last big pile of books, only three or four thin ones were left.

The Three-Character Classic, how to use Chinese Pinyin, and a Kanyin Book of Songs.

The rest were all destroyed.

Yu Shinan was a little tired.

"Hey, His Majesty and Duke Lu are really right. I thought they had some good treasures, but I haven't seen a single copy or a book with good articles. Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

Yu Shinan shook his head.

"Dayan, that's it? Also, National Education. Sure enough, National Education is about infantilizing books. I was already prepared before reading it, but I never thought it would be such infantile books. I don't want these shabby books in Datang!"

"Hehehe, Great Yan? It's just an uncivilized barbarian land. What does it mean?"

"Without the blessing of the sages' books, there will be no climate. If you stand up to the sky, you will be a barbarian like the Turks, with a simple mind and well-developed limbs!"

"I really don't know why the people of the Tang Dynasty went to Dayan. Is it so important to have a full stomach?"

Yu Shinan couldn't understand.

He felt that a place where he could recite sages' books day and night was the real paradise.

So what if I could starve to death?
As long as you can communicate with the sages, everything will be right.

"Let's go, run away, the fever is almost gone, let's go drink."

"I got another great piece of writing today, how about you help me check it out."

Yu Shinan walked over and said with a smile.

Kong Yingda sighed: "Hey, I really need poetry to baptize me now, let's go, let's go."

The sounds of conversation faded away.

Pei Ji also took his own bodyguard with him, and returned with satisfaction to tell the officials of the clan that the mission they had given him had been successfully completed!
And those old masters who have read "cheap books" for a long time have to wash their eyes, really wash their eyes.

The library fell into silence again.

………………………….
in the afternoon.

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin was still handling government affairs, when a spy walked in.

When he heard the information reported by the spy, Li Shimin's face turned darker and darker, and finally turned into disbelief.

"What, all the books were burned?"

Li Shimin's eyes widened: "Who gave Kong Yingda the courage to do that?"

He was so angry that he called Kong Yingda by name.

The spy was startled and lowered his head slightly: "It's... It was ordered by Pei Sikong. Pei Sikong said that such books were hidden in the Library Pavilion, which would greatly insult the reputation of the Datang Library Pavilion, so he burned them all. If your Majesty, It’s his fault alone.”

"Pei Ji!!" Li Shimin's eyes were blood red: "Damn it, Pei Ji! You old man!!!"

He was furious.

He also read the books Cheng Yaojin brought back, but he couldn't understand most of them.

even so.

He also believes that those books are not as simple as they appear on the surface, and they must contain great principles.

I think so only because of the Great Yan Empire.

It defeated his army and took away his daughter, Princess Changle.

He didn't believe it was as simple as it seemed.

I couldn't understand it myself, so I gave it to Hongwenkan.

I never thought that the Hongwen Museum would be burned down.

gas!
Shaking with anger!

I'm so angry that I want to kill them! !

"How many books are left...?"

Li Shimin asked suppressing his anger.

The spy's voice trembled: "Your Majesty, there are only three books left..."

Click!

After hearing Sanben's words, the brush in Li Shimin's hand was pinched directly.

"Pei Ji, Kong Yingda, you two old men, you want to mislead me, the Tang Dynasty, and you want to..."

"puff!!"

Halfway through the words, Li Shimin became angry and vomited blood.

"His Majesty!!"

The spies were shocked and immediately sent people to look for the imperial doctor.

this day.

It was a dark day in the Tang Dynasty, but... it was also a day when families reveled in carnival.
.
…………………….
at the same time.

Goguryeo.

Fuyu City.

"Why? Why can't our army move forward?"

Yeon Gae So Moon was furious.

It had been a month since he learned that his future queen, Nalan Haixue, had been kidnapped by the Great Yan Emperor.

As time passed, Yeon Gaesumun already understood that his future queen could not be redeemed and had completely become the property of the Great Yan Emperor.

and so.

He was so angry that he ordered Eulji Mundeok to lead the army to set off with the goal of regaining Liaodong City. After regaining Liaodong City, he would continue to attack Yanyun City and completely wipe Daeyeon off the map.

Let their emperors and people regret for offending Goguryeo!
The idea was wonderful, but the news was so disappointing.

Months passed.

Eulji Mundeok's army was still lingering in the same place.

They originally sent a large army to Liaodong City, but one of Dayan's cavalry troops appeared and disappeared, constantly attacking their rear, which caused a lot of headaches.

On several occasions, Eulchi Mundeok organized a large army and set up bait to encircle and destroy the Daeyan Cavalry.

I never thought that they would not show up at all, but directly attack the weak areas of their army further away from their encirclement and suppression area.

That Great Flame Cavalry….
Their commander is so terrifying, he can always find the weak points of the army to attack, and he can always see through Eulji Munduk's schemes, as if he has a God's perspective.

After many battles, Eulji Wende knew that there was nothing he could do about this cavalry. He thought that the army would directly join forces and point directly at the Liaodong City, and not pay too much attention to this Dayan cavalry.

It was wonderful at the beginning. The Goguryeo army was marching, and the Great Flame Cavalry was not easy to mess with. After all, their army had 10,000+ people. As long as the Great Flame Cavalry dared to show its head in front of them, every one of them would spit out a mouthful of water. Three thousand tigers and leopards ride.

Can….
Good times are not long.

Not long after the Goguryeo army marched, it was reported that the rear grain and forage troops were attacked and all destroyed.

Food and grass are the lifeblood and top priority of an army.

Food and grass were destroyed.

The army therefore stopped and waited for the arrival of new grain and grass troops.

This second forage unit, which Yeon Gae So-moon and the think tank have discussed recently, is almost here. As long as Eulji Mun-deok protects it, he can continue to march towards Liaodong City.

As a result, the spy was told that he could not move again!
"Why can't we march? Could it be that the grain and grass troops were destroyed by that cavalry army again?"

Yeon Gae So Moon was furious.

The spy trembled and said: "Back to...your Majesty, it is indeed true."

Bang! !

After the scout finished speaking, Yeon Gaesumun smashed the tea cup.

"Damn, damn Da Yan, why are you so difficult to deal with!!"

He really didn't know.

What does Eulji Mundeok do? With such a large army, there is nothing he can do about the mere three thousand cavalry of Daeyeon.

If you think about it carefully, Liaodong City was also garrisoned by Eulji Mundeok's brother Eulji Simo. How long had it been since Liaodong City was lost?It was too long, and it wasn't until someone from his Eulji family took office that he lost it.

"The Eulji family...can you still be able to shoulder my heavy responsibility?"

Yeon Gaesumun kept inhaling and exhaling angrily, his eyes narrowed, and he seemed to have other ideas.

………………………….
at the same time.

Dayan, Yanyun City.

After General Baihu led the White Tiger Battalion north to Liaodong City to assist Zhang Liao's Hubao Battalion who was fighting alone, Yanyun City fell into a stable state without any major incident for a long time.

But recently, something big happened.

Princess Changle from the Tang Dynasty is getting married.

Marry their Emperor of Great Yan.

Today, the city of Yanyun City is full of joy and red.
