Compete for the Song Dynasty

Zhao Zongmian, the king of the county, was sitting on a large seat with his eyes closed, when Shi Zhaoxi walked in.Hearing footsteps, Zhao Zongmian opened his eyes slightly: "Have you done everything you need to do?"

Shi Zhaoxi replied in a low voice: "My lord, things are a little difficult!"

The king of the county closed his eyes. He was too tired recently, and his daily thoughts were spent on how to win over the soldiers from various states.There will be a big banquet in two days, which is related to whether these people will listen to me in the future.He said in a cold tone: "A king can't handle it, how can you rest assured when you do big things in the future."

Shi Zhaoxi was a little awkward, the prince looked down upon Wang Pang a little too much, this Wang Pang was very tricky, but how dare the prince refute what he said?He hurriedly said: "My lord's lesson is that I did not find what he asked for. This kid boasts that he has read all the books in the world."

"Oh?" The king of the county sounded a little interesting, he opened his eyes: "Hehe, this kid's tone is not small." [

"Yes, my lord, he also said that there is no shogunate around my lord who can match his knowledge, and he said that he wants to compare with them." Shi Zhaoxi said, sneaking his eyes at the county king Zhao Zongmian.

When the king of the county heard that the king was going to compete with the staff in the mansion, he suddenly became interested, and he sat up straight: "Okay, there are still two days left for us to plan a big event, if this kid can help .That's God help me!"

Shi Zhaoxi showed some embarrassment on his face: "My lord, there is one more condition for this kid...he will be the first shogunate by your side!"

The king of the county heard this, but he was elated: "Hahaha! Good boy, he has a bit of ambition. Since he has this determination, then give him a chance. You tell him right away, ask him to prepare, and call all the shogunate in the mansion , Tomorrow afternoon in the conference hall, I want to see what this kid is capable of, dare to say such a big thing!"

Shi Zhaoxi pursed his lips and said in his heart, this is what you promised, if you can't deal with Wang Pang in the future, it has nothing to do with me.He suddenly remembered something, and took out a piece of paper from the king's room from his pocket: "My lord, look, this kid has been drawing this thing in the room today, is he also a secret agent of the imperial court, the state marked on this map The mansion is our Guangnan East Road."

The king of the county took it over and looked at it. The picture was crooked and the distance was not so accurate. He casually threw it to Shi Zhaoxi: "I see. Ask him what he is going to do first. You first arrange for him and the shogunate. It's a matter of competition."

"Then I'll inform him now!" Shi Zhaoxi said, then turned and left.

This is the third time he has stepped into the courtyard next to the king today, and he cursed secretly as he walked in: "Little bastard, you tormented me to death. Anyway, I am also a person who serves the queen mother. Now serving the prince has been demoted, and now I have to Serving you."

The girl who waited on Wang Pang brought Wang Pang dinner, and the food was pretty good with wine and vegetables. Wang Pang was drinking and chatting with the girl standing beside him pouring the wine without saying a word.Seeing Shi Zhaoxi walking in, Wang Pang waved: "Boss Shi, come to see me again, and I happen to be having a drink by myself, come, come, let's have a drink together!"

Shi Zhaoxi waved his hands: "No, I still have things to do. I'm here to inform you: I've already told the prince that I will let you have a good chat with the shogunate in the meeting room tomorrow afternoon!" After saying that, he turned around and asked Go, Wang Pang said, "What's the hurry!" He stood up and pulled Shi Zhaoxi to sit at the table. His behavior seemed to show that he and Shi Zhaoxi were very close: "Boss Shi, don't rush to leave! Look at me this day, I can't even get out of this small courtyard, seeing you is not like seeing a relative! Come on, relative! Let's have a drink."

"No, the prince will blame him for the delay!" Shi Zhaoxi wanted to get up, but Wang Pang held his shoulder.

"My lord, I will take the blame for you!"

"You? What ability do you have to help me bear the blame of the prince?"

"I am the first shogunate?! What? With me covering you in the future, are you still afraid that the prince will blame you?" Wang Pang said with his eyes wide open.

Shi Zhaoxi almost lost his temper: This kid is too crazy, as if he must be the first shogunate of the county prince's mansion now, and he is still covering me?I'm afraid he can't even cover himself!

"Hehe, I will ask Mr. Wang to take care of you from now on." He wanted to leave, but Wang Pang winked at him and said with a smile, "What's the matter, you have to drink this cup before leaving, and I have something to ask you Help." Seeing Wang Pang like this, Shi Zhaoxi thought to himself that this kid might be boasting too much, and now he doesn't know how to end it. Thinking of this, he relaxed: "Okay! Tell me, but if you get cold feet , but it’s going to hurt me, I’m trying to force you in front of the prince!”

"Hey, I knew that Director Shi is a good man! Drink first!" Wang Pang filled Shi Zhaoxi with wine as he spoke.

Shi Zhaoxi picked up his cup and took a sip: "Come on, what do you want me to do for you?!"

Wang Pang gestured to the direction of the door: "Director Shi, you said that the academy in the prince's mansion has all the books in the world, and I will have a good chat with the shogunate tomorrow, but I don't even know what the academy in the mansion looks like. You Why don't you take me to have a look? I'd like to be prepared, if I lose face tomorrow, you'll be embarrassed, right?" [

"Hmph, that's it? Good!" Shi Zhaoxi agreed and smiled inwardly: This kid wants to hold Buddha's feet temporarily!There are tens of thousands of books in the academy, even if I let you read in it from now to noon tomorrow, you won't be able to read them!

Wang Pang followed Shi Zhaoxi out of the room, followed by two guards watching Wang Pang.Looking at the situation, Wang Pang understood in his heart that if he did not win the trust of the county king, let alone the palace, he would not be free even in the palace.

He wasn't nervous about tomorrow's competition.Carrying that stone with me these years is like carrying a library.He himself didn't expect that the stone he bought for one dollar back then was so miraculous.And this kind of magic is already common to Wang Pang, if it weren't for this stone, it would be impossible for him to travel to the Song Dynasty.Over the years, Wang Pang has become more and more proficient in grasping the information of Shitou. It seems that he has formed his own search engine in his mind. Baidu, Google, and Sogou are no longer comparable to his own search engine.

It's just that he must go to the place where the county prince's mansion collects books!This is not for tomorrow's competition, Wang Pang wants to prove that he has been in and out of the county king's library, and he himself does not know when he will be able to leave the county king's mansion, the sooner he visits the academy, the better.He followed Shi Zhaoxi along the corridor of the palace, through the courtyard, on the stone path, around the garden; he walked for half a day in seven turns and eight turns.This county king's mansion is too big, or the county king shuts himself too far?Wang Pang couldn't help thinking.

The academies of the county prince’s mansion are as big as the three courtyards next to the king. There are special people in the academies who are in charge of guarding them, and there are special people in charge of patrolling and fire prevention. There are four or five wells in the courtyard, and the deepest one has three floors. , Every floor is full of bookshelves filled with books.

Shi Zhaoxi led Wang Pang up to the third floor. He stopped and turned back to ask Wang Pang, "How are you doing? Are these books enough for you to read?"

"I'll see first to know..." Wang Bang scratched his head, it seemed that he was also a little bit scared.Shi Zhaoxi sneered: "Then take a look at it slowly, there is a bedroom next door for you to rest in." Then he turned around and said to the guards who came behind Wang: "You guys take good care of me!"

Wang Pang watched Shi Zhaoxi leave, looked at the bookshelf, and saw that it was cleaned every day, there was little floating dirt on the bookshelf, and the books were arranged neatly.It is difficult for Wang Pang to see the reader's preferences from the accumulation of dust.He looked around the bookshelf: "Cefu Yuangui" is not good, it is compiled here, "Mandarin", "Guanzi", "Mencius", "Han Feizi", "Huainanzi", "Yanzi Chunqiu", "Lu Shi "Spring and Autumn", "Han Shi Wai Zhuan" and historical books.These must be the most frequently read by the family members and students.

"Taiping Guangji"?This category is also not good. This category is based on more than 400 kinds of wild history novels from the Han Dynasty to the early Song Dynasty, Buddhist scriptures, Taoist scriptures, etc., and miscellaneous works mainly by novelists.It is estimated that the frequency of review will be a lot. "Old History of the Five Dynasties" and "Wen Hui Collection" are also not good. Wang Bang knew that many systems in the Song Dynasty followed the Five Dynasties, so the shogunate would probably start with these few books if they wanted to read the latest period.He searched slowly, and suddenly, his eyes fell on a booklet in the corner of the bookshelf.

"Kou Zhongmin Gong Poetry Collection"?Kou Zhun, the Zhongmin Gong of the Lai Kingdom, is a historical figure that Wang Pang likes. When Wang Pang saw Kou Zhun carrying boots, he was immediately attracted by this old Kou Xier.This person has a bold personality, uninhibited behavior, and outstanding knowledge.When Kou Zhun forced Song Zhenzong to go north in person, he always opposed the peace negotiation and advocated taking advantage of the situation to send troops to regain lost ground.If he had listened to him, Yan Yun would have been in the hands of Song Dynasty long ago.It's a pity that Song Zhenzong was devoted to peace negotiation, which made the compromise faction arrogant.They attacked Kou Zhun for his self-respect, and even said that he was plotting evil.Under the slander of these people, Kou Zhun was forced to give up his idea of ​​the main battle.Therefore, under the planning of the Compromise Faction, the Song and Liao parties entered into the "Chanyuan Alliance".Wang Pang thought to himself: Most of the literati in the Song Dynasty were conceited and relied on their talents and learning. It is estimated that these southerners rarely read Kou Zhun's anthology.

That's him!While the guards were not paying attention, he secretly took out a silver note hinge from his pocket and put it in the book.You're done, this trip to the Prince's Mansion Academy was not in vain, old Kou Xier, old Kou Xier.Whether things can be successful depends on your blessing!Wang Pang randomly took two copies of "Taiping Guangji" from the bookshelf, "Double Biography" and "The Biography of the Curly Beard Guest". These two books were unofficial historical novels of the Tang Dynasty. Go back to your own courtyard.

After Wang Pang left, the servants of the academy went to tell the county king what books he had taken, which was specially ordered by Director Shi.When the county king Zhao Zongmian heard what book Wang Pang was reading, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed loudly: "This kid is interesting, when is he? He still has such leisure time?!"

Wang Pang had already guessed that this was the case, so he didn't mind it.Just have a book to read tonight, Wenxuewang!
