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

Chapter 117: Big earthquake, those books come from Great Yan!

Pei Ji's face was ugly, and he forced a smile, and said: "Pushe, grandson, the old man is fine, thank you for your concern."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Is it really all right? Pei Sikong is very pale."

"It just so happens that today, His Majesty has the foresight to know that many officials will get sick, so he dispatched many imperial physicians in advance to make it easier for you to see a doctor."

"How about it, Pei Sikong, do you want me to support you like a doctor? I'm afraid of you... I'm so angry that I can't even walk to the doctor alone now."

"You..." Pei Ji was so angry that his face turned livid.

Looking at the eldest grandson Wuji who deserved a beating, he couldn't help feeling angry.

But what Changsun Wuji said was the truth.

There were already aristocratic family officials present, who were not strong enough to bear it, and fainted on the spot, fainted from anger, and needed rescue.

"Haha, Pei Sikong, don't look so ugly. After all, the implementation of the imperial examination is a blessing for the court and a blessing for the world. Pei Sikong should be happy."

Changsun Wuji spoke again.

As if he had endless topics to talk about.

Pei Ji's face twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, it's indeed a blessing, grandson Pushe, Pei has other things, so I won't chat for now, so I'll leave now."

"Hey~Pei Sikong..."

Changsun Wuji quickly caught up, while Pei Ji quickly retreated, without even waving goodbye, and wanted to leave the place where things were right and wrong.

After he disappeared from sight, Changsun Wuji couldn't hold back the smile in his heart anymore, and burst out laughing.

at the same time.

dark place.

Wu Ma looked at the smiling and wanton Changsun Wuji and was filled with anger: "Changsun Wuji!!"

Her eyes were filled with hatred.

She remembers it very clearly, too clearly...
This man had too many roles in the affairs of General Xuanwu and His Highness, and he even planned them all.

She hates him more than anyone else!

"Wuma, don't be impulsive."

"Don't ruin our plan."

On the side, Youji warned.

Wu Ma heard the words, took a deep breath, and kept suppressing his anger: "Youji, I know."

"But I can't bear it. Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others are using our things to benefit the people, and the reputation belongs to them."

Youji smiled lightly, his eyes full of softness, but giving people an evil feeling: "What's wrong with giving them something? As His Highness sent a letter to say, these scholars will also be my master in the future. Yan people."

"Although the Tang Dynasty has not been conquered yet, and those scholars also regard Dayan as the enemy, His Highness always thinks that they are the subjects of the Great Yan Empire. Your Highness, Your Highness, he is so arrogant, yes, it is always like this... "

"And I joined because of his arrogance. Haha, Wu Ma, don't be in a hurry, just wait... When His Highness's army is formed and he leads his troops south, he will definitely be able to defeat the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop! Defeat that, the undefeated God of War, General Tiance, Li Shimin!"

"Haha, today Li Shimin is only helping His Highness, and also our Prince Chu's Mansion, to temporarily benefit everyone in the world. His Highness said that these future results will all belong to our Prince Chu's Mansion."

………………

National Supervisor.

This is Datang's top education center and a top academic place.

The Guozijian is closed for a day today, but it is not peaceful inside.

Yu Shinan looked excited, holding a [Book of Songs] bought from the imperial city, and quickly passed through every place.

When he came to one of the rooms, he knocked on the door quickly.

"Chongyuan, I'm here! I've brought good news, great news. Open the door quickly!"

Yu Shinan was extremely happy.

"Oh?"

Inside, Kong Yingda was a little surprised. He opened the door and said, "You are back from the Imperial City so soon? Your Majesty is going to hold a conference in the Imperial City today, but His Majesty decided to personally publicly explain how to deal with those bookstore owners who do not sell books."

"Whether it's punishment or not, those bookshop owners are all behind them. They are trying to use this method to make our poor family in the Tang Dynasty no longer have scholars, and they all go to Great Yan. It's really abominable!"

"Huh~ The heart of a villain is also the path of a villain, which is why we, the scholars, are not ashamed!"

Kong Yingda snorted coldly, extremely dissatisfied.

"Hahaha, Your Majesty has solved the matter of studying, but not as we imagined."

"Oh? How do you say that?"

"Hahaha, Your Majesty, he hid a bunch of books under everyone's nose, and now he is selling them. The number of those books, wow, you haven't seen it, but if you saw it, you would be amazed."

Yu Shinan clicked his tongue in amazement.

"This... Your Majesty is far-sighted. He must have expected the aristocratic family's step, so he hid the books and caught the aristocratic family off guard. Gao Ye! Gao Ye!"

Kong Yingda admired him sincerely.

Yu Shinan was about to follow the topic, but suddenly realized that his purpose of coming here was not for this, so he quickly changed his mouth and said: "Hey~ Chongyuan, what I want to talk about is not this, please read this book first."

Yu Shinan handed out the book.

"Book? What's there to read in a book? You can read this [Book of Songs] not only ten times, but at least eight times, huh? This is..."

As soon as he opened the first page of the book, Kong Yingda's eyes were bright.

There are many symbols.

Kong Yingda thought it was unique, and quickly turned a few more pages.

As a result, there are all of them.

"Strange, why are there so many symbols on these books?"

Kong Yingda frowned slightly.

"Hahaha, don't you understand now? I was also confused just now, but I checked the explanation of these symbols in books. They are called punctuation marks, but all the books sold in the imperial city have such symbols."

"It's useless to just talk, go far away, come, give me the book, and I will turn to the page of explanation for you."

Taking the book again, Yu Shinan turned to the page explaining punctuation marks, and handed it to Kong Yingda.

When Kong Yingda saw the introduction in the book, his pupils widened slightly.

"This...wonderful, wonderful!"

"How did the author of this book come up with the idea of ​​using punctuation marks? How wonderful!"

"Wait a minute, you just said that not only this book has punctuation marks, but also all the books in the Imperial City, and these books are all written by His Majesty. Could it be that they are all His Majesty's masterpieces? Did His Majesty invent them and then have them re-engraved?"

After Kong Yingda admired it, he was extremely astonished.

"I don't know that."

Yu Shinan was quite helpless, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Your Majesty is wise, the traces of these books are hidden, even the aristocratic family doesn't know, you still expect me to know?!"

"But... although I don't know the situation, the appearance of these books can perfectly solve the problems of the next generation of scholars, and there will be no shortage of books."

"And because of the punctuation marks, it will be much easier for the next scholar to recite."

"Having said that, these punctuation marks are really powerful! It is easy to solve the problem of jerky and difficult to understand the text, and reduce the entry threshold for reading."

"Wonderful! It's really wonderful!"

"Even I have to admire the author who created punctuation marks."

Yu Shinan praised repeatedly.

He is really astounded by the exquisite design of punctuation marks.

Without changing any content of the book, just adding a few ink points, everything becomes simple.

When Kong Yingda heard this, he fell into deep thought.

Compared to the joy of his friends, he prefers to pursue the essence of things and wants to know who the author of the punctuation marks is.His Majesty?

Impossible, His Majesty is busy dealing with aristocratic families and appeasing the common people, so there is no time to delve into the way of reading.

Even before he ascended the throne, His Majesty was still an army general, commanding an army. He had time to study, but he had no time to explore the way of reading.

It is certain that these books are definitely not from His Majesty’s hand.

So…..
Fang Xuanling?
Grandson Wuji?

Du Ruhui?
No, neither do they.

Relying on his understanding of the three of them, Kong Yingda immediately thought it was impossible.

then.

In an instant.

A rough outline appeared in his mind.

It's not a person, it's... a book!

Kong Yingda seemed to think of something, took a breath, and quickly ran to his room, and then took out a book that Cheng Yaojin brought back from Dayan.

Open it up and take a look.

This... there are punctuation marks in it!
And this one is the only one with punctuation marks among the batch of books brought back by Cheng Yaojin.

"This this…."

"How could this be? Is it possible that the books your Majesty announced today were books obtained from Dayan?"

Kong Yingda's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

He didn't want to admit it, but the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Because punctuation marks and batches of books need to be made by a family as powerful as Wu Xing Qi Wang.

Five-Star Hope has publicly stated that it does not sell books, and others don’t know how many book-making institutions His Majesty has. How can he not know about it as the boss of the Imperial College?

There is no bookmaking organization at all! !
Then it must rely on external forces.

This external force is most likely caused by great inflammation...
Kong Yingda looked at the book in his hand, silently, carefully, and was speechless for a long time.

He still couldn't believe it, or even didn't want to believe that the homeland in his heart, this empire, actually had to rely on barbarian countries like Dayan.

This this….
Kong Yingda despised Dayan, so he tacitly allowed Pei Ji to burn the books Cheng Yaojin brought from Dayan.

But now...
The books that His Majesty brought from Dayan became the mainstream reading materials for scholars in the Tang Dynasty.

This….
Kong Yingda smiled bitterly.

He didn't even know what to say.

"Chongyuan, what are you..."

At this time, Yu Shinan walked over, quite puzzled.

When Kong Yingda saw Yu Shinan, he quickly put away the book in his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay."

He hid the book, not wanting Yu Shinan to know, nor anyone to know, that the books His Majesty brought back were... from the Great Yan Kingdom...
........................

The main mansion of the Li family in Longxi, the backyard.

The Patriarch of the Li family in Longxi was still basking in the sun leisurely.

Today is a rare fine weather, it should be exposed to the sun, otherwise this old bone will rot.

"Homeowner."

But at this moment, a relatively low voice came.

The eyes of the head of the Li family in Longxi flickered, and he closed his eyes again, enjoying the sunshine comfortably, and said, "What? The imperial examination has been cancelled?"

"Hehe, it's a little earlier than expected, but fortunately, the mansion has already prepared a lot of good wine. If other family members come, they should all open the wine jars and have a drink to their heart's content."

The voice fell, but there was no reply for a long time.

The Patriarch of the Li family in Longxi, who was still leisurely waving the feather fan to catch the wind, realized that something was wrong, stopped waving the fan in his hand, stood up, and looked serious.

"problem occurs?"

The voice was low and a little disturbed.

"Ah."

Jiawei nodded and sighed: "Li Shimin, he...he got a batch of books from nowhere. The quantity is huge, enough to supply the scholars in Chang'an City."

"What!" The head of the Li family in Longxi stared wide-eyed.

Aren't all Chang'an's books in their hands?
He personally supervised this matter, which is very clear.

Why does Li Shimin still have a batch of books in his hand?

Where did this come from?
Damn!

More than ten years of planning, the joint efforts of the former Patriarchs and their current Patriarchs, was easily broken by Li Shimin?

Although shocked and unwilling, the head of the Li family in Longxi quickly adjusted. After all, there were precedents for grain and sweet potatoes before, and the ability to accept it had already improved.

He took a deep breath, trying to keep his tone as calm as possible.

"The matter has come to this, since it cannot be stopped, let Quan Chang'an City Bookstore open the door again."

"Books are durable enough to be handed down and readable. If a person buys a book, he will not need to buy it in the next few years or even decades. We need to reduce losses."

The head of the Li family in Longxi issued an order.

Since the method of blocking and physically making books disappear is no longer possible, let's unblock them, at least the gold and silver can be recovered.

Jiawei sighed again, and said, "Patriarch, I'm afraid it won't work. Our books are not competitive, and it's hard to sell them."

The head of the Li family in Longxi was stunned, with an expression as if you were kidding me, and said: "Books... all the books in Chang'an City are the same. Not to mention Chang'an, the books in the entire Tang Dynasty are the same. Why can't they compete? force?"

Jiawei said helplessly: "Patriarch, the books released by Li Shimin have punctuation marks that we can't understand, which can make the content of the books simpler, which is not available in our bookstore. Patriarch, let's take a look."

He took out a copy of [Sun Tzu's Art of War] from his pocket.

Open the first page and let the Patriarch Li of Longxi watch it.

The Patriarch of the Li family in Longxi saw it, and after a cup of tea, he understood the meaning of the punctuation marks.

"This... damn, who is this expert helping Erlang of the Li family?"

The head of the Li family in Longxi had red eyes. With these books, how could the bookstores of their major families still sell books!
He threw the book down hard and gritted his teeth and said: "Immediately ask all the free detectives in Chang'an City to go out and investigate!
"Use all your abilities to investigate. Whatever is needed, the family will support you!"

"I want to know, even the Fifth Surname Qiwang wants to know who is going against us!"

After all, the head of the Li family in Longxi was not as close to the Chu Palace as the Fan Yang Lu family, so he had no idea that those books belonged to the Chu Palace.

Jiawei was startled and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Master, I understand!"

After all, he got up and left quickly.

After he left, the angry head of the Li family in Longxi began to think about the ins and outs of this matter.

First of all.

Li Shimin certainly didn't know that his own family, including Qiwang with five surnames, had planned for more than ten years.

The former Patriarchs of Five Surnames and Seven Wangs spent a lot of money to hide their identities and traces when they planned their plans, because they didn't want the current emperor to know about their petty actions.

They succeeded, and have been so practiced for more than ten years.

Li Tang has been silent all the time, and Li Tang must not know.

Moreover, for more than ten years since Li Tang established the country, they have never paid much attention to books, and the matter of printing has always been dominated by their five surnames and Qi Wang, and the Li Tang royal family never even mentioned it.

So at this juncture, how come a large number of books emerge.
