To the northeast of Jinling Palace, where the books of the Southern Tang Dynasty were originally collected, brothers Liu Yang and Li Fang took their free time to inspect this place. They inspected the rooms one by one, looking at the rows of tombs, historical records, and rare rare books.
I was dazzled by what I saw. Especially Li Fang, who looked completely delighted.
The reason why they were attracted here was because of something caused by Li Yu, who asked him to move his belongings. As a result, he pulled dozens of carts of books and albums, which caught Li Fang's attention. Once they checked, they all found classics, and then they were stopped urgently.
After reporting it to Liu Yang, he was advised by Li Fang and ordered that all the paintings and calligraphy in the palace belong to the national collection and must not be misappropriated. Not one picture or volume can be taken away, so Li Yu is asked to pick out more yellow and white things.
Exchanging gold for books is a profit for most people. However, Li Yu, the king of a subjugated country, has no choice but to bow his head and obey his orders. Moreover, there are also some of Li Yu's own works among them.
"This Jinling Palace is really a treasure house!" Liu Xu couldn't help but praise: "If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, how would you know the vastness of the books? The room is full of gold, silver, pearls and jade, but it is not as good as this collection of classics!"
"Since the time of Li Min, there has been a trend of collecting books in Jiangbiao, which advocates the development of literature and education." Li Fang said with a little excitement: "Liu Chongyuan mentioned in his "Jin Hua Zi" that six books have been prepared, various historical articles are collected, ancient books and famous paintings,
The convergence of the tapestry and the red curtains; the heroes and Confucian scholars traveled thousands of miles to visit each and every house, eager to buy books; the scriptures were opened, and the civil and military were at par with each other. His words are true!"
Hearing Li Fang start to drop his book bag, Liu Yang couldn't help but laugh and said: "Master Li is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable!"
"I was so happy to see the hunter that I forgot my feelings for a moment!" Li Fang said, summoning an official in charge of collecting books and asked: "Let me ask you, how many volumes of books are there in the Jinling Palace?"
"There are more than 90,000 volumes of various kinds of classics, calligraphy and paintings. The king of the country... Li Yu is still adding more after he succeeded to the throne!" the official replied carefully.
After hearing this, Liu Yang couldn't help but said to Liu Xu: "Brother, if I remember correctly, the total number of books in the three libraries in Tokyo and the Imperial Academy's collection is only more than 30,000 volumes!"
Liu Xu nodded and replied affirmatively: "More than 32,000 volumes! This is the result of the imperial court's waste of money and effort in collecting them!"
"If we transport all the books in the collection back to Tokyo, I'm afraid all three libraries will need a major overhaul and expansion several times before they can be placed properly!" Liu Yang said.
"The scholars and scholars in the third hall must be overjoyed!" Liu Xu looked at Liu Yang and said, "I have to protect him and transport him back to Tokyo together!"
"What's going on with those palace maids?" After some consolation, Liu Yang suddenly asked the official when he was leaving.
However, in the library, there were a large number of palace ladies serving both temperament and beauty, and they were a little surprised. They probably felt that this burly prince had reached the age of first love and fell in love with him, so he hurriedly smiled with him and said to Liu Yang.
"Going back to Your Highness, these beauties are all selected by the original ruler of the country. They are well-educated, talented and beautiful beauties who are used to control books. They are also occasionally called upon to serve as readers..."
"The Lord of Jiangnan is really in a good mood! So interesting!" Li Fang said.
Hearing this, Liu Yang frowned slightly and looked up at Li Fang: "Master Li, do you know how many maids and beauties there are in Jinling Palace?"
Li Fang shook his head and asked the official: "Do you know?"
"You don't know, you have to check the roster to find out!"
Hearing that Liu Yang was concerned about the beauties of the "Tang Palace", Liu Xu glanced at Liu Yang and frowned slightly. Liu Yang then said: "I see that there are many eunuchs and maids in this palace. How should we deal with them?"
Hearing this, Li Fang also looked at Liu Yang seriously, with a little nervousness in his eyes, and said in a reminding tone: "Your Highness, as usual, we should select those with outstanding talents and appearance to present to Tokyo!"
Liu Yang was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Master Li, as a son of a man, you choose beauties to donate to your father. Do you think this is appropriate?"
"This..." Li Fang was silent for a moment, and after a brief pause, he said: "Your Highness, I suggest that this matter should be reported to the imperial court and left to be dealt with!"
"Yeah!" Liu Yang thought for a moment and agreed.
Just like the beauties in the Shu Palace, the palace attendants directly selected hundreds of those of the right age and presented them to Tokyo to enrich the harem. There are also many beauties in the Jinling Palace, but Liu Yang's identity, if he has any ideas,
It is easy to cause some troubles, so Li Fang suggested that it is best not to ask.
When they returned to the Sihui Mansion, someone reported: "Your Highness, Marshal Li sent someone to report that military information has been delivered!"
"What military situation? Is there anything other than repetition?"
"It is said that the war situation between Lingnan and Hongzhou was a victory!"
"Just in time, let's go visit the camp!" Liu Yang was slightly happy when he heard this and looked at Liu Xu: "Brother, are you going with us?"
"Of course!" Liu Xu nodded: "It's time to visit Mr. Li!"
After taking control of Jinling, Li Gu's Generalissimo's office was located in the Jinling Yamen, and military affairs were all handled there. When the Liu Yang brothers arrived, they saw Li Gu and Shi Shouxin talking in the hall.
Seeing these two brothers, he quickly wanted to salute, and Li Gu struggled to leave the warm bed. Seeing this, Liu Yang hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Don't get up, Mr. Li, you two don't need to be polite!"
"Your Highnesses are here, but they didn't announce their arrival. We missed the reception from afar. I hope Your Highnesses will forgive me!" Li Gu said.
"Mr. Li's words are serious! I told him not to report them!" Liu Yang said, paying attention to Li Gu's complexion: "Looking at Mr. Li's complexion, your body is well rested?"
"It doesn't matter if you suffer from the disease for a long time!" Li Gu looked much better and smiled casually.
After holding up his robe and sitting down, Liu Yang asked: "I just heard that there is military intelligence to report, but I don't know the details?"
"Shou Xian, tell your highnesses!" Li Gu subconsciously stroked his beard, obviously in a good mood.
Shi Shouxin said calmly: "Hongzhou hastily reported, and the guard Lu Jiang surrendered without losing a single soldier, and the whole city descended. Now Cao Bin is in charge of Hongzhou, and Liu Guangyi leads the army to continue to occupy other prefectures and counties in Jiangxi. It is conceivable that
, it will surely fall based on the wind, and it won’t take long for Jiangxi to be completely settled.
In addition, good news also came from Lingnan. After conquering Shaozhou, Pan Mei's army took Yingzhou in the south. As for Qingyuan, it surrendered Pan Chongche, the main general sent by the Lord of Guangdong to resist, and now it has entered Prince Xing's Mansion. In this way
Judging from the situation, the good news of the pacification of southern Guangdong should be delivered!"
This time, Li Gu was the Generalissimo of Pingnan, and was in charge of all the southern expeditionary armies, including those in Lingnan. Although Pan Mei was much more independent, she was still nominally under Li Gu, so military intelligence and military reports would also be disseminated

"Good! Good news comes frequently, and there is good news everywhere!" Liu Yang couldn't help but smile: "With this progress, the entire southern region will be completely pacified, the world will be unified, and the great cause will be determined!"
After all, he was still a young boy, but he couldn't help but feel this joy. Upon seeing this, Li Gu gave a rare reminder: "Military victory is smooth and easy, but the difficulty is that peace and naturalization will require decades of separation from the Central Plains.
The people of the prefectures and counties must be completely brought under the governance of the imperial court!"
"Mr. Li is right, I got carried away with my pride!" Liu Yang was stunned for a moment, and then he said with his hands: "These days, I have been ordered to appease Jinling, and I have felt the heavy workload and the complexity of people's hearts. This is not the case for a Jinling city, and what's more?
For the entire Jiangnan and the south..."
"It is extremely rare for Your Highness to sigh like this! It is a blessing to the country!" Li Gu nodded with some satisfaction.
Shi Shouxin continued: "I have completed the deployment and will send out troops tomorrow to completely control the Jiangnan area!"
"Li Gong and Shi Dushuai are responsible for the military mobilization. It will be unfavorable even if we think about it!" Liu Yang said.
Good news always makes people feel happy. The following conversations between several people took place in a relaxed atmosphere.
Finally, Liu Yang asked Li Gu: "Mr. Li, I need to ask you for advice on something!"
"Your Highness, please speak!" Li Gu also expressed curiosity.
"In the former, my eldest brother and I hosted a banquet for the Jinling courtiers, with the intention of appeasing their hearts and recruiting talents for the Han Dynasty. All the invited people were invited to the banquet, except Han Xizai, who declined politely! I heard that this man is a great talent and has a very high reputation.
, Your Majesty also mentions him often. I wonder how to recruit him for the imperial court and make him serve as an official?"
Mentioning this, Li Gu chuckled and said: "Han Shuyan and I haven't seen each other for decades, and I don't know how much of his arrogance he still had back then. We haven't met him since he entered Jinling. It seems that we should meet him too."
