In the palace, Li Yuan was reviewing government affairs.
Today's Datang not only has a large number of external wars, but also has a lot of waste to do internally, with countless government affairs. After all, the battle on the front line will involve countless government affairs, requiring a lot of work from the rear. Not to mention, Li Yuan wanted to stabilize the internal affairs, so Li Yuan's affairs were extremely busy.
Even so, Li Yuan will take a rest after a day of exhaustion. After all, he has reached a certain age, and his energy is not as good as before. Now Li Yuan's love for Concubine Yin De is much less.
This is influenced by Yin's father and son.
Li Yuan hated Yin Changqing, and even more hated Yin Ashu's inability to teach his son. In addition, after he returned to the palace and saw Concubine Yin De, Concubine Yin De didn't take Yin Changqing's bad side at all, and kept praising her younger brother Yin Changqing for being so good. official.
Concubine Yin De's actions made Li Yuan dislike Concubine Yin De even more. Now Li Yuan rests in Zhang Jieyu's palace most of the time. Li Yuan finished his work today, left the Ganlu Hall, and took Xiao Li, the head of the house, to Zhang Jieyu's harem with him.
However, as soon as Li Yuan walked out of the Ganlu Hall and walked to the corner of the corridor, he heard someone talking.
"Speaking of which, Guan Yu is truly heroic. Warming the wine and killing Hua Xiong, it's so wonderful."
"I think it's not surprising that Guan Yu is just brave. Speaking of it, Cao Cao is still powerful, courageous and capable. Unfortunately, Cao Cao's family background is not as good as Yuan Shao's, which is quite miserable."
"If you want to talk about misery, can Cao Cao be as miserable as Liu Bei? Liu Bei is also a member of the royal family, but he is the worst when he is middle-aged, achieves nothing, and wanders around. He is the worst
The two eunuchs were discussing in low voices.
The voice of this discussion was just heard by Li Yuan. So Li Yuan stopped and listened for a while. Xiao Li, the chief internal officer beside him, frowned, a cold look appeared on his old face.
These damn bastards!
Actually talking about it.
Don't even look at where this is.
Li Yuan stayed for a while, coughed lightly, and strode forward. Following his light cough, the two young eunuchs lowered their heads and stood obediently aside.
Li Yuan took Xiao Li and walked straight forward.
It's just that when Xiao Li followed Li Yuan step by step and left, he glared at the two little eunuchs. After walking a certain distance, Li Yuan looked at Xiao Li beside him, and asked, "Xiao Li, what are they talking about?"
Xiao Li arched his back slightly, and said in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, what they are talking about is a book called "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". This book is already very popular in Chang'an, and countless people follow it. "
After a pause, Xiao Li said again: "These ignorant bastard slaves, who just read books in private, talk about it openly, regardless of the occasion. Your Majesty, after the old slaves come down, they must be punished properly, strictly disciplined, ordered They're so annoying."
Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary, but I'm curious about the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so bring it to me."
"yes!"
Xiao Li answered with a bow.
"Let's go, go back to the palace, just read the book, and don't bother to see Zhang Jieyu. Her words are similar to those of Concubine Yin De."
Li Yuan originally planned to go to Zhang Jieyu's yard, but he had a lot of troubles. Especially at Zhang Jieyu's place, Zhang Jieyu had to say some nonsense about Du Qizi, which made Li Yuan not like going there either.
Simply, go back to Ganlu Hall.
As soon as Li Yuan returned to Ganlu Hall, Xiao Li ordered him to go down, and after a while, he sent the first five manuscripts of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. After Xiao Li took it, he stood respectfully in front of Li Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look."
Li Yuan took it over, and raised his eyebrows when he saw the opening chapter.
Today, no buzzwords.
It is a popular poem, but the form of Ci was originally born in Yuefu. Moreover, in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the format of words had already appeared, but it was not popular, so even if Linjiang Xian started the chapter, it was not considered unconventional.
The opening song "Linjiang Immortal" already caught Li Yuan's eyes.
This poem is bold and unrestrained, but also contains vigor; the words and sentences are high-pitched, but there is no lack of depth. The whole text is generous and tragic, full of charm, and it is soul-stirring to read.
Li Yuan nodded his approval after seeing Linjiang Immortal Queen. In his heart, he recognized the Romance of the Three Kingdoms more. Looking at the leopard from the inside, we can already see the extraordinaryness of this book from the details.
Li Yuan continued to read.
When he is reading, he will unconsciously use his own?Imperial status, examine everything in the book. When he finished watching the first five episodes of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he said with emotion: "Xiao Li, Luo Guanzhong, although he is joking about history and has changed some things in history, but the big things remain the same, and the small things are not restricted. , it¡¯s really not that simple.¡±
After a pause, Li Yuan continued: "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is full of talent, structure, wisdom and strategy. I now understand why people in the palace like to discuss. Now, I am eagerly waiting for the follow-up The content. Speaking of it, this is only five short chapters, tell me, will there be more in the follow-up?"
Xiao Li said: "Your Majesty is so wise, you can see through the true meaning of the book at a glance."
After a pause, Xiao Li said: "Speaking of which, this book has only been published five times so far. The bookstore that sells this book is the Zailai Bookstore in the West Market. Luo Guanzhong is unknown for the time being."
There was a look of expectation in Li Yuan's eyes, and he ordered: "I am looking forward to the follow-up content, and at the same time, I also want to meet Luo Guanzhong. To be able to write such an article must be a person with great talent. Such a person, used to Writing a book is really a bit of a waste. Judging from the text, he must be capable if he has a strategy in mind. You arrange someone to investigate Luo Guanzhong's situation immediately."
"yes!"
Xiao Li agreed.
He bowed in response, then turned and left.
Li Yuan turned to the first chapter again and re-watched it again. Although there are only the first five chapters in this book, in fact, a lot can be seen through the contents of the first five chapters, so Li Yuan is looking forward to it.
It wasn't long before Xiao Li left, but he came back within half an hour. He came to Li Yuan's side again, with a strange expression on his face, and said, "Your Majesty, I have already found out about the situation in the bookstore again. This Luo Guanzhong has also been found out. Speaking of which, Your Majesty has met Luo Guanzhong."
"ah!"
Li Yuan was a little surprised.
With his thin body leaning forward slightly, with his hands resting on the desk, he said, "Let's hear it!"
Xiao Li said seriously: "Your Majesty, this book was sold at Zai Lai Bookstore. A few days ago, Zai Lai Bookstore in West Market was an insignificant bookstore that was on the verge of closing down."
"That is to say, Du Qi went to Zai Lai Bookstore and bought Zai Lai Bookstore. Then, there was Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the bookstore. According to the results of the investigation, the content of these Romance of the Three Kingdoms came from Du Qi."
"Who is Luo Guanzhong? I don't know for the time being. I only know that this book was written by Du Qi, so this old slave boldly speculates that this Luo Guanzhong is Du Qi."
Xiao Li bowed his body and put forward his opinion.
After hearing this, Li Yuan frowned.
It's Du Qi again, who now highly praises Du Qi. Not only Du Qi knows how to manage, but also Du Qi knows how to advance and retreat, and he speaks and does things well.
Originally, Li Yuan had already looked at Du Qi with admiration, and admired Du Qi very much.
Unexpectedly, Du Qi is involved in this bookstore now. Thinking of Du Qi's various situations, Li Yuan instinctively felt that Xiao Li's analysis was very likely to be true, and that Romance of the Three Kingdoms should have something to do with Du Qi.
Even, Luo Guanzhong, the author of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, is most likely Du Qi.
Xiao Li is an old man who has been by Li Yuan's side all the time. He is familiar with Li Yuan's disposition, and he knows that Li Yuan is quite appreciative of Du Qi now. Just go out of the palace for a private visit and go to Du's house to find out."
"That's the truth!"
After hearing this, Li Yuan showed a bright smile on his face and said, "Let's go, let's go out of the palace."
"yes!"
When Xiao Li got the order, he immediately went to arrange it. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
