Zhaowen Pavilion, located in the southwest of the imperial city, is one of the three pavilions and is responsible for collecting books.
The Three Halls of the Han Dynasty inherited the Tang Dynasty system. Since Liu Chengyou succeeded to the throne, he has attached great importance to cultural and educational matters. When the finances were initially sufficient, he did not build palaces or house government offices, and dedicated the three halls of Zhaowen Hall, History Hall, and Jixianyuan. It was expanded and renovated to show the intention of sweeping the couch to welcome the wise men from all over the world.
Over the years, it has developed one after another, and it has gathered the literary essence of the Han Dynasty. The Ming Jing of the scientific examination, the Jinshi, and many of them have served in the three bureaus, compiled and observed politics, and then assigned official positions. The prime ministers of the Han Dynasty, Many of them also held concurrent library positions. For example, Xue Juzheng, the envoy of the Third Secretary of State, also held the post of Bachelor of History.
As time goes by, the weather in Tokyo is getting colder and colder, and a thin layer of frost has condensed on the surface of the beams, pillars, and bricks. However, compared to the cold weather outside, the inside of the Shobunkan is much better. It is not as warm as spring, but it is still. No need to cower.
Liu Chengyou always treated these scholars and talented people with courtesy and provided them with warmth in winter, which he did very well.
The library is lined with bookshelves, and each scholar is sitting in his desk, reading, composing, collating classics, or just drinking tea and discussing arguments. In short, it is quite lively. The scribes in the library are probably the highest-ranking ones in the Han Dynasty. , and the most laid-back "civil servant".
When Liu Chengyou stepped into the Zhaowen Pavilion, it caused a bit of a sensation. After all, although he treated the virtuous people generously, he was more of a leisure person and rarely set foot there. When he needed to consult classics, he only sent someone to pick them up.
Although most of the civil servants in the palace were just literati wearing official robes, there were also many people with ambitions and ambitions who aspired to an official career. It was rare for the emperor to come in person, so naturally he had to show off, hoping to leave a good impression.
However, Liu Chengyou's attention was focused on the young man standing next to him, standing tall and silent, with a calm smile on his lips, making him stand out from the crowd.
"Are you... Lu Dosun?" Liu Chengyou looked at him.
"Your Majesty, you are your Majesty!" Lu Duoxun bowed respectfully.
It suddenly dawned on me that the number two spot on the list was a young man with outstanding talents and quick insights. At that time, he saw the strategy of "tiring Shu to lure the enemy" and was too sharp. After he was admitted to the official position, he was released. I went to Zhao Wen Guan and wanted to suppress and temper myself.
Of course, Liu Chengyou had such thoughts, but after a long time, he simply forgot about it. Now that we met again by chance, he recalled it. The corners of his mouth slowly raised, and he looked at Lu Duoxun. Lu Duoxun bowed slightly, neither humble nor overbearing, calm and calm. Then he met the emperor's gaze.
Now, Lu Duoxun, who is only twenty years old, is still young and handsome, with outstanding temperament, but he is obviously a lot more restrained.
"You have been in Zhaowen Hall for almost two years, right?" Liu Chengyou asked.
"Exactly!" Ludoson responded.
"What have you been doing in the past two years? Schooling?"
"Your Majesty, I am young and have little knowledge. It is beyond my ability to correct school management and publications. I am just responsible for sorting out atlases and classics every day and reading to understand..." Lu Duoxun said humbly that he was just A librarian.
"Haha!" Liu Chengyou couldn't help laughing and ordered: "Go and get me the Longyou and Hexi prefecture and county records, especially the recent records!"
"yes!"
Liu Chengyou didn't let Liu Chengyou wait too long when he saw Lu Duoxun coming back with a few books in his hands. Liu Chengyou couldn't help being surprised. He picked up an old book and asked, "So soon? Just these few books?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I have recently paid tribute to Liangzhou, which was originally part of China, but was torn apart by wars abroad. Now that he is coming to court again, I thought that your Majesty might pay attention to his hometown in Hexi again, so I have prepared the register in advance. To prepare for the royal visit!" Lu Duoxun responded calmly: "In addition, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, Hexi has been lost, and wars have occurred frequently in the Central Plains. Therefore, there is a huge lack of descriptions of the hometown of Hexi. Most of the books only mention it in a few words. And, these books contain more content!"
After hearing what he said, Liu Chengyou turned his attention to Lu Duoxun again. He was a well-behaved person, and he was indeed restrained, but he only restrained his sharpness. He was really smart and shrewd. Although he was in Zhaowen Hall, his eyes also fell on the imperial court.
"What if I don't have this intention and don't read the records?" Liu Chengyou said playfully.
Lu Duoxun calmly clasped his hands and said, "I just made preparations in advance to avoid being in a hurry when Your Majesty checks it. Furthermore, Longyou, Hexi Province, has been the land of China since ancient times. How can it be reduced to this for a long time?" Foreigners, your majesty has great talent and great strategy, and he will surely recover sooner or later. Even if you don’t look at it now, there will be a future..."
Listening to his explanation, Liu Chengyou's expression was dull and noncommittal, but it was obvious that this person had made a deeper impression on him. Opening a book casually, Lu Duoxun also thoughtfully marked the corners of the relevant descriptions, but the writing was old and the words were obscure. , some of the handwriting is still blurry and looks quite difficult...
He directly folded them up and looked at Lu Duoxun: "You have read these books and records! I won't read them. Please tell me about the situation of the states in Longyou and Hexi!"
Facing the emperor's inquiry, Lu Duoxun immediately became energetic, pondered for a while, and calmly recounted: "Since the middle Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains has been in decline and chaos, and the Hexi and Longyou states cannot be controlled, and they are occupied by Tubo. A hundred years ago, Zhang They raised an army and drove out the Tibetan forces, causing more than a dozen states in the northwest to fall and return to China for sixty years.
However, due to internal strife and external constraints, the Central Plains could not provide support. After all, the Guiyi Army continued to weaken, gradually declined, and its territory shrank. Now there are only two prefectures of Sha and Gua, almost isolated from the Central Plains. The person in power of the Guiyi Army now is the Cao family."

"Since I came to power, the Guiyi Army has come here twice!" Liu Chengyou nodded: "The road is difficult. I have been in the northwest for decades, and I still miss the Central Plains. It is not easy!"
Lu Duoxun said: "This is because our Han culture has spread far and wide, and Tang officials and Han people still exist. But outside of Gua and Sha, the Han lands are all occupied by barbarians. The rebel army is like an isolated island in the sea, always under threat. There is a danger of overthrow. Therefore, the Cao family has to contact the Central Plains to resist hostility from outside and gather people's hearts from within. If the Han Dynasty returns to Hexi in the future, the rebel army will be of great use!"
Liu Chengyou nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Lu Duoxun said: "Since the Three Dynasties, Tubo has become weaker and weaker. The Hexi and Longyou prefectures are divided into Tubo, Uighur, Dangxiang and other Zahu states. The most powerful one is undoubtedly the Ganzhou Uighur. In the mid-Tang Dynasty, the Uighur After the decline, they were destroyed by the Xijiasi people. The tribes migrated, and one of them moved to Ganzhou. After the power of the Guiyi Army declined, they took the opportunity to become stronger. Now with Ganzhou as their tentacles, their power is probably not weaker than that of the Dingnan Army. "
As he said that, Lu Duoxun glanced at Liu Chengyou carefully and continued: "In the past few decades, Hexi and Longyou have been lost. Only Gan, Liang, Sha, and Gua often communicate with the Central Plains. Among them, the closest ones are undoubtedly Liang. state.
After the Tubo split and the civil war, although its power declined, there were still a large number of tribesmen living in the northwest. In Liangzhou, the Yixia area, Tubo, Han people, Qiang people and various miscellaneous barbarians gathered together, making the situation most complicated. Bu Jia Shi is a member of the Tubo Liuhe tribe, and he has become a local tycoon in Liangzhou. Since Zhu Liang, he has repeatedly sent envoys to the Central Plains to guard..."
Liu Chengyou was obviously very satisfied with Lu Duoxun's narration. He looked at him and chuckled: "It seems that you have studied hard. It's good to be able to sort out the context of Hexi from this messy historical records." It’s not easy. I’m afraid no one in the whole court is more familiar with the situation in Hexi than you!”
"Your Majesty is ridiculously complimenting me, but I don't dare to accept it!" Lu Duoxun responded with a low eyebrow: "I just took some time to read more books. However, the actual situation in Hexi cannot be obtained from the previous records. The Central Plains and the Hexi has been isolated for too long after all!"
"It's really rare for you to have such knowledge!" Liu Chengyou sighed, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked: "You became famous at a young age, and a dignified second-ranked scholar was confined to Zhaowen Hall. Do you feel that your talents are being compromised?"
Hearing the emperor's question, even if he really felt that he was incompetent, he did not dare to show it. Lu Duoxun said respectfully: "I don't dare! I have done nothing, and I have gained a lot in the Zhaowen Pavilion in the past two years!"
"Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles!" Liu Chengyou smiled and said: "I think it is inappropriate for you to continue to stay in Zhaowen Hall!"
Hearing this, Lu Duoxun's eyes immediately brightened up intelligently.
