Chapter 165: If you tell the truth, no one will believe it!
"The Biography of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties——"
Li Shimin couldn't help but let out a small sigh and looked intently. Li Junxian glanced at Wang Zi'an with complicated eyes, and secretly cast his gaze upwards.
Wang Zi’an:……
I actually forgot that this piece of shit Li Shimin was right in front of me!
But I didn't plan to publish it originally, I just wanted a few people to write it for myself. Besides, who would have thought that Lao Li would be Li Shimin.
Wang Zi'an quickly ran through the outline of the story in his mind. Fortunately, the version he read in his previous life was to praise Li Shimin's destiny, so he probably wouldn't fall out with him because of this thing.
"Did you write this?"
Li Shimin tapped the draft in his hand thoughtfully and glanced at Wang Zi'an calmly.
"Yes, have you ever seen anyone write such beautiful calligraphy?"
Prince An, who had figured it out, waved his hand indifferently.
Li Shimin:......
Okay, I didn’t ask!
"You are quite courageous. Even the emperor and the duke of the current dynasty dare to make random arrangements. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the court..."
Li Shimin looked at Wang Zi'an with a half-smile.
"Cure Mao's crime. This is just a story, a novel. Don't talk about it these days. Even history books may not be reliable. Who can really believe this? Do you think those ministers and emperors are idle?
It hurts, I have the leisure to pay attention to such trivial things, just for fun..."
As Wang Zi'an spoke, he secretly observed Li Shimin's micro-expressions. He was also a little unsure of what Li Shimin's reaction would be.
There are only a few words in the synopsis of the story, just like a plot outline for later generations. Li Shimin read it in a short time.
"The writing is pretty good - are you looking for someone to polish it up?"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Zi'an with a puzzled expression.
Seeing this guy asking this question, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but feel reassured. Although he was almost invincible within three steps, he didn't want to fall out with the emperor just because of this.
Wouldn't it be nice for him to have some free time and live a comfortable life for a few days?
What's more, his family also has such a shy, timid, bright and passionate eldest daughter?
"Ah, yes, looking at it this way, it looks so shriveled-"
The prince sat down with a smile.
"Come on, sit down and watch. Let's talk about this slowly - as long as you write well, you don't have to worry about the polishing fee. It will definitely be generous, and we will never secretly cheat your wages..."
Wang Zi'an took this matter quite seriously. After all, in this Tang Dynasty where there was no Internet or mobile phone, it was a rare enjoyment to be able to read a few good books.
"Zian, with your talent and learning, you don't need to find someone to polish your writing. Wouldn't it be better for you to write it yourself?"
Li Junxian asked with some confusion.
Hearing Li Junxian's question, Li Shimin, Ma Zhou, and Li Yifu couldn't help but look over.
Hey, I have to be able to write it too!
"Ahem, I don't have time - I have tens of thousands of people every minute, but I have time to tinker with this gadget?"
Everyone:…
Then everyone silently glanced at Wang Zi'an's bright glazed windows, and no longer even thought about complaining.
If this bitch wants to make money, it will cost him tens of thousands of dollars every minute.
"Forget it, you should take it seriously if I'm bragging - I'll be honest and tell you the truth, I don't write because I don't know how to write at all -"
I was the one who never wanted to look at an 800-word essay after I couldn’t finish it for a long time and threw it to the teacher!
Everyone:…
Do you think we are stupid?
You piece of shit, you can write a random poem, it’s the kind of classic masterpiece that is so exquisite that it can be passed down to future generations, but you actually have the nerve to say you can’t write it!
I bother--
Several people looked at Wang Zi'an helplessly, not wanting to speak. Talking to this bitch was so shocking.
Read the book, read the book. Although the outline of this story is a bit simple, the story is full of ups and downs and interlocking links. It is really colorful.
"Young Master Wang, this book, this book -"
Ma Zhou stared at the manuscript in his hand, feeling horrified and almost speechless.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this book?"
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but frowned. It was hard to tell. After all, he only remembered a rough outline. Some parts might be confused with the plot on TV...
"No problem! Prince Wang, how could there be something wrong with your book? It's just this, this -"
Ma Zhou couldn't help but take a deep breath, stood up with the draft in his hands, bowed to Prince An with an upright expression, and spoke almost word for word.
"This book of yours is not so much a story as it is an art of war. It is comprehensive and magnificent. It is a blessing for students to read it. I am grateful. How dare students find someone to write randomly and destroy the master's work?"
Brilliant masterpiece!"
Having said this, Ma Zhou looked at Wang Zi'an with admiration.
"What's more, who else in this world can give polish to this master's masterpiece——"
Wang Zi’an:……
Lao Ma, you are such a good future prime minister, when did you learn to flatter yourself?
Although I feel very comfortable taking the photo, you are going against me!
If you don't polish and expand it for me, it's just a nonsense story.
When Ma Zhou said this, Li Shimin and others couldn't help but feel very curious. They all came over and huddled together to take a closer look.
"Three Kingdoms?"
Li Shimin glanced at Wang Zi'an subconsciously.
"Yes, it's the Romance of the Three Kingdoms - I just want to read a short story. Isn't it a bit exaggerated that you are making such a fuss..."
Wang Zi'an was also helpless.
If no one wrote this, I would be doomed.
Li Shimin glanced at him suspiciously, said nothing, and looked down at the manuscript.
"Speaking of the general trend of the world, if it divides for a long time, it will unite, and if it unites for a long time, it will divide. The seven kingdoms fought over the weekend and merged into Qin. After the destruction of Qin, Chu and Han fought against each other and merged into Han. The Han Dynasty revolted after the emperor killed the white snake and unified the world.
, later Guangwu Zhongxing, spread to Emperor Xian, and then divided into three kingdoms..."
Listening to Li Shimin's soft reading, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but secretly complain.
Speaking of the entire Three Kingdoms, I can only remember these few sentences.
"Is this a random little story you wrote?"
Li Shimin took a breath of cold air and looked at Wang Zi'an in shock. These few words were so profound that they struck home.
"I didn't write it, I copied it, copied it, copied it-"
Wang Zi'an knocked on the table angrily.
What kind of world-shattering thing is this? If you tell the truth, no one will believe it!
Li Shimin, Li Junxian, Ma Zhou, Li Yifu:......
Everyone looked at him and said nothing.
Wang Zi'an couldn't help feeling discouraged, and waved his hands feebly.
"Everyone, the question now is not to find out who wrote it, but whether you can find some reliable people for me to write the story..."
"Don't be impatient for a moment, I'll take a look first -"
Looking at the unfolding story, Li Shimin couldn't help but look serious.
The scholar who looked a little bohemian just now with a wine gourd hanging around his waist was right. This is not just a storybook, it is The Art of War wrapped in a storybook cover!
