Sections 387, 388 Wen's Return to Tang... Mid-Autumn Banquet(1/2)

As the drums and music mingled, there was joy inside and outside the Tang Hou Mansion. Li Luo personally invited Wen Tianxiang to the flower hall of the Intermediate Courtyard to serve tea, and Cui Xiuning also came out to greet him, calling him "Mr. Wenshan".

Cui Xiuning was actually happier than Li Luo. The national hero Wen Tianxiang was rescued by her plan. But was she proud? No.

"Mr. Wen, I have met the queen." Wen Tianxiang stood up and bowed. When he saw Cui Xiuning's temperament and pomp, he knew that she was the wife of the king of Tang.

Cui Xiuning smiled and said, "Mr. Wenshan, you are polite. I am not the queen, but the wife of Tang. The emperor has not been called king. I, Tang, are just a small marquis."

Wen Tianxiang then remembered that Tang Jun had not yet been called king, but Tang Hou.

He was very moved. If someone had changed his life and had this foundation overseas, he would have been impatient to be king. Even if he didn't become king, he would at least become king. But this Tang Jun was just a marquis.

This shows that the king of Tang is well aware of the reputation of being a famous person, has a sense of orthodoxy, is very self-aware, and is pragmatic.

This alone shows his style. This person is definitely not a grassroots hero. The Tang Dynasty is not a grassroots team.

Not to mention the rest, Wen Tianxiang was surprised by the temperament of the Tang Jun and his wife. He had seen many emperors, generals and ministers. But the demeanor of these two people was the only one he saw in his life.

This kind of temperament is hard to describe, but it feels very different and very unusual. Wen Tianxiang has seen countless people, but he has not found this kind of temperament in a third person.

At this time, Li Luo changed into a more formal cloak and silly shirt and said with a smile, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Mr. Wenshan has to take off his cage and head to the east of the sea. It's really a happy couple."

Wen Tianxiang said, "Wen is a remnant minister of the country who is destroyed. He is really ashamed of his surviving life."

"Mr. Wenshan is very serious. Mr. Wenshan is a pillar of the country, a hero of the Han family, and is so majestic. I respect Mr. Mr. He is just respecting the Chinese moral integrity and duty." Li Luo said in awe.

Li Luo immediately ordered a banquet to welcome Wen Tianxiang. He also ordered all military generals at the brigade level and civil servants at the department level and above to come to the Tanghou Mansion as a companion.

Li Luo had already decided on the court ceremony of the Tang Dynasty, but he had never used it once. This is the first time he used it today.

With an order, more than a hundred people from the Tang Marquis' Mansion, including the female officials, deacons, and the kitchen, all moved to prepare for a banquet.

More than 200 musician dancers captured from the Japanese palace will also come in handy for the first time.

Li Luo treated Wen Tianxiang so politely not only because of his respect for Wen Tianxiang, but also because of Wen Tianxiang's value.

Wen Tianxiang is not only a literary scholar, but also an underrated good prime minister and general.

Many people who did not know much about Wen Tianxiang in later generations were influenced by Wen Tianxiang's "conscience" and thought that he had more righteousness and lacked military and political talents. This was purely a misunderstanding.

Strategy, Wen Tianxiang firmly opposed peace talks, advocated that the Song court organize civil union training and send ministers to establish Fangzhen. This is actually the way Zeng Guofan trained the Hunan Army.

Moreover, he repeatedly suggested that Song Ting use the advantage of the navy to restore Jiangsu and Zhejiang across the seas, blockade the Fujian and Zhejiang waters and the Yangtze River natural barriers, and then concentrate troops to build a western defense line.

At that time, the Song Dynasty still occupied Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong and Guangxi, and Hunan. The navy was still strong, and this strategy was very operational.

Then, the Song court ignored it all and just wanted to seek peace. In order to seek peace, he even made the brother of the traitor, traitor, Lu Wenhuan the king and his nephew the minister of the government affairs. He shamelessly pleased Lu Wenhuan, hoping that Lu Wenhuan would mediate and reach a peace talk.

When the Yuan army attacked Changzhou, Wen Tianxiang keenly pointed out that Changzhou was a must-have place and must not be lost. However, the Song court was passive in resistance, and Wen Tianxiang could only lead his weak soldiers to rescue Changzhou.

It was not until the Song court that it realized that many of Wen Tianxiang's military strategies were correct after the end of their journey, but it was too late to waste two or three years.

Even Liu Mengyan, who served as the Left Prime Minister at the time and later surrendered to Wen Tianxiang, told Kublai Khan that the talent in the southern country is nothing better than Wen Tianxiang. Obviously, it does not refer to Wen Tianxiang's literary talent, but military and political talents.

Therefore, Kublai Khan repeatedly persuaded Wen Tianxiang to surrender, promising that as long as he surrendered, he would be the prime minister.

In fact, it will be clear after thinking about it. Wen Tianxiang, as a civil servant, raised tens of thousands of people in just one month and persisted in the War of Resistance for several years. When he was in Jiangxi, he suppressed the rebel forces and fought guerrilla wars with the Yuan army. Military talents were not good, so he had already finished playing. How could he last for so long?

You know, his troops are militias, not well-equipped regular official troops.

In addition to talent, Li Luo valued this banner more. Wen Tianxiang was a banner that resisted the Yuan Dynasty, especially in several southern provinces. With Wen Tianxiang's role, once the army rose, Li Luo would receive more talent support.

Li Luo had already made up his mind to take Wen Tianxiang for his own use. If Wen Tianxiang did not follow, he would never let him leave Haidong.

Li Luo and Wen Tianxiang talked about the history at the end of the Song Dynasty for a while and found that Wen Tianxiang was already very peaceful. Obviously, the career of Chu prisoners made him understand a lot.

"How can the Song Dynasty not perish?" Wen Tianxiang sighed, "I still have a chance to die when I die. I just suppressed loyal ministers and righteous men, and wanted to beg for peace and despicable things. I had no aura of recovery. My ambition was like a woman, and I lost all the morale of the people of the Southern Kingdom."

Li Luo nodded, "Mr. Wenshan is very clear, and I agree deeply. Therefore, the Song court cannot be supported. Now the Song court has been destroyed, and it cannot be restored. But the Central Plains must be restored, and the Mongolian and Tartars must be destroyed."

"I am determined to immigrate overseas and establish a system, accumulate food, grass, and armies, and rectify military and military preparations, in order to one day drive out the Tartars, restore the Central Plains, and then open up the prosperous Han family."

"If Mr. Wenshan is only loyal to Zhao and Song, then I don't have to say much. But if Mr. Wenshan is loyal to Zhao and Song and is also loyal to China, please help me and serve the Han family."

Li Luo said it very directly. Wen Tianxiang is a smart person and he doesn't have to take turns. Moreover, he will never agree to serve just because he saved him from prison. Only with righteousness can he impress him.

Sure enough, Wen Tianxiang was not surprised when he heard this, "Wen will never forget the heart of China for a moment. The world of one family and the world of the world, Wen will know which one is more important. Changing dynasties is not impossible, but the world can be destroyed, but it is not impossible."

"Good! What the sir said is so true, I am taught." Li Luo bowed and bowed. Of course he knew this principle, but it was not easy for Wen Tianxiang, a Song Dynasty man, to speak out.

Wen Tianxiang returned the gift and continued, "I already know the heart of the king and the king. However, Wen still has a little understanding of the situation in the Tang Dynasty. Please allow me to visit for three days before making any reason."

Li Luo understood. What he meant was that I don’t know much about your Tang Kingdom yet. Please give me three days to learn about it. I think it’s OK, of course I join. But if you think it doesn’t work, I’m sorry, you’d better let me go.

Li Luo was already very satisfied with this answer. Li Luo was very worried about what he said, "Loyal ministers will not serve the second master." However, Wen Tianxiang did not mention it, obviously he was not a pedantic person.

Whether he gave up completely against Zhao Song or not, at least he agreed halfway.

Li Luo was happy and thought of another very important thing. While the banquet was not ready, he wanted to invite Wen Tianxiang to watch the newly built Shijing Pavilion in Tang State.

"Mr. Wenshan, I, Tang Shijing Pavilion, have many unique ancient books hidden. This Pavilion is not secretly revealed to others, but I am the only one who has given me a visit to you."

A unique and lonely ancient book?

Wen Tianxiang's eyes lit up immediately, "Is this true? Then Wen thanked you." As a scholar, Wen Tianxiang could not be interested in the lonely ancient books.

Next, Wen Tianxiang followed Li Luo, who was extremely proud in his heart, to the location of the Tang Kingdom Stone Sutra Pavilion.

Because those ancient books of the Shop are of great importance, the Shijing Pavilion was built in the Tang Hou Mansion, only about ten feet away from the Tang Hou’s dormitory, and it is completely part of the inner house.

The Shijing Pavilion is not big, it is only a bluestone house three meters in radius. A small pond is dug next to it, and a dozen wooden barrels filled with clear water are lined up by the pond.

According to the management regulations of the Shijing Pavilion, outside the Shijing Pavilion, eighteen wooden barrels filled with water must be prepared at any time.

Four people were guarding the door and guarding the Shijing Pavilion.

"Your Majesty!" When he saw Li Luo, the four guards of the Sutra Pavilion salute together.

Li Luo took out a bunch of keys, opened the door himself, and asked Wen Tianxiang to enter. However, a guard in charge of the guard of the Jing Pavilion, shouted loudly according to the regulations, "Remember! On the 15th day of August 2nd year of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor personally brought people into the Shi Jing Pavilion!"

Wen Tianxiang couldn't help but feel moved. Is it so strict? What kind of lonely book is it? It's worth being so serious?

When I entered the Shijing Pavilion, I found a round stone table and several original stone benches in the middle. There were dozens of stone grids around.

Each stone grid is the size of a suitcase, and there is sand around it. Inside the sand is a layer of charcoal powder, and inside the charcoal powder is a layer of dry leaves, which seems to be camphor leaves.

Wen Tianxiang knew that this was of course a measure used to prevent fire, moisture, insects and ants.

Above the stone grid are Chinese characters in seal script. Wen Tianxiang immediately showed an incredible look when he looked at it.

He naturally knew these seal characters on the stone grid. However, the meaning of these characters was not allowed to remain calm.

It turned out to be "Shu Yu Xia", "Three Tombs and Five Classics", "Eight Soils and Nine Hills", "Jingwu", "Book Book Classic", "Huangdi Foreign Classic" and so on.

Each one is an ancient book that is either lost or incomplete in China! Several of the names of them only exist in books.

Wen Tianxiang took a deep breath and touched Shi Ge with a little trembling trembling eyes. His eyes were a little abnormal. He looked back at Li Luo with anticipation, "Is it really here?"

Li Luo nodded solemnly and vigorously, "The Complete Book of Shangshu is inside."

Then, Li Luo found a key with the "Book of Books" engraved from a large bunch of keys and opened it carefully.

As soon as the stone grid was opened, the first thing I saw was a cowhide bag inside. When I opened the cowhide bag, there were bamboo tubes. Each bamboo tube was marked with numbers.

Li Luo picked up a bamboo tube marked with one, unscrewed the lid, gently took out a roll of bamboo slips, and held it up with both hands and handed it to Wen Tianxiang.

Wen Tianxiang took it with both hands and carefully opened the ancient Jianshu. Slowly, his face showed an ecstatic expression.

"It's true! It's the Shangshu! It's the Shangshu of Ancient Literature! Lord, this should be a real calligraphy scripture, not a fake, not a fake!" Wen Tianxiang's face was full of tears, but he looked ecstatic, and there was no longer the demeanor of everyone. Even the title of Li Luo was unknowingly changed from a lord to a lord.

Wen Tianxiang was a great scholar of the times and a scholar of the country. However, there were no great scholars in the Song and Ming dynasties who did not study ancient characters of gold and stone. Without a foundation in metal and stone, he was not a real great scholar. Therefore, most of the characters on the ancient simplified script can be interpreted by Wen Tianxiang.

When other stone grids were opened one by one, Wen Tianxiang was so excited that he couldn't suppress himself.

"The Book of Yu Xia! There is such a book!"

"Jiaowu! The eight hundred years of spring and autumn in the Chu State are all in it!"

"The Yellow Emperor's Foreign Classics, I didn't expect this book to be true!"

...

"I didn't expect that most of the source of China was in this small stone pavilion!" Wen Tianxiang carefully rolled up the "Lu Ban Book" and said, "I dare to ask you, where do you get these priceless treasures?"

Li Luo roughly explained the process of obtaining Jianshu. Wen Tianxiang was extremely moved after hearing this and kept saying, "God's will! God's will! I didn't expect that the great throne of China and the fortune of heaven will be in the king's body!"

Li Luo was very proud, isn't God's will? These precious Jianshu, because the Ise Temple fired several times, were not preserved later, causing irreversible civilization losses. Now Li Luo has taken back and copied the copy, and can be reprinted and passed on for thousands of years.

Suddenly Wen Tianxiang sorted out his clothes and solemnly bowed, "My minister Wen Tianxiang, I have seen you!"

Originally, he wanted to use three days to learn about the Tang Kingdom and decide whether to make a difference. But after reading these Jianshu, there is no need to do anything else.

"Mr. Wenshan, please get up quickly!" Li Luo happily stopped Wen Tianxiang from worshiping, "I am the one who deserves Mr. Gao, and the one who deserves Xiao He, and Zhaolie is the one who deserves Wu Hou!"

Wen Tianxiang said solemnly, "How dare I compare with Xiao Hewuhou! I only wish to do my best to the emperor, devote all my efforts to restore the Central Plains!"

Li Luo laughed and said, "Okay, okay! Everyone says that Mr. Wenshan is only loyal to Zhao and Song, but he doesn't want to be so wise and generous. If the gentleman returns to Tang, I will be worry-free!"

Wen Tianxiang also said a rare good thing, "I think the emperor has the style of Emperor Taizong, and I am really a ancestor!"

After the two of them were polite, Wen Tianxiang asked a question of concern, "Your Majesty, can these ancient scribbles be copied?"

Li Luo nodded, "Don't worry, sir, the copy has been copied, but has not been published."

Wen Tianxiang said, "Your Excellence shows that it is really inconvenient to spread it now. But I suggest that you first publish ten thousand copies and store them for later use. Once the troops are sent to the Central Plains, they will be issued to the world in the name of our Tang Dynasty and spread the scholars. Then all the scholars in the world will return to their hearts."
