Clearly sensing the solemn atmosphere in the study, Jia Cong was confused and couldn't figure out what to do.
Again, he had nothing to do with Wang Ziteng or even the Wang family before, and he had never offended anyone.
How could Wang Ziteng have a bad feeling for him for no reason?
Yes, it’s just disgusting!
By practicing the method of breathing to transport qi and blood, Jia Cong has trained his body to the limit that it can reach at this time.
Not only does he have extremely powerful outer martial arts, his five senses are much sharper than ordinary people, and he can keenly sense negative emotions directed at him within a few feet of the surrounding area.
Right now, he could clearly feel that Wang Ziteng seemed to be very unhappy with him?
"Did you write the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"
After a long time, Wang Ziteng finally spoke. His voice was rich and powerful, with a hint of the majesty of someone who had been in power for a long time, but it also broke the solemn atmosphere in the study.
"Exactly!"
Although Jia Cong was confused, he wasn't too afraid. Wang Ziteng couldn't eat him, so what was he afraid of?
"I've seen it!"
Prince Teng's words were concise and to the point, his tone was cold and his posture was very high, and he commented leisurely: "The writing is quite good, especially on the war. I am worthy of being a descendant of Duke Rong!"
Whether this was a compliment or a sarcasm, Jia Cong couldn't tell for the time being.
"Uncle Shi is so complimentary!"
He was not thin-skinned, so he simply took it as a compliment and explained softly: "There are many stories of the Three Kingdoms circulating among the people. I just collected these stories and concocted them according to the records of historical books such as "Three Kingdoms" and "Book of the Later Han Dynasty"
novel!"
Seeing that Wang Ziteng was not in a hurry to speak, he continued: "As for the military wars in the story of the Three Kingdoms, I figured it out after reading some war history records collected in the mansion and consulting some old men in the mansion who had been on the battlefield!
"
"Not bad, do you have any idea of joining the military?"
Wang Ziteng changed the topic, his expression became gentle, and he smiled leisurely: "Looking at your body, you are also very suitable for being a general in the army!"
"Uncle Shi, stop joking!"
Jia Cong waved his hands quickly and flatly refused: "I know myself well and I can't bear the hardships of being in the army. I'd better forget it. Uncle Shi doesn't need to worry!"
Haha, I believe you are so kind-hearted!
Jia Cong's heart was very open. Wang Ziteng seemed to have good intentions and cared about his younger generation, but he was definitely testing him.
Damn it, don't think he doesn't know. The reason why Wang Ziteng was able to quickly rise to prominence in the army and even served as the governor of the Beijing camp for a period of time was that besides his own outstanding ability, the most important reason was that he got
The Jia family's power in the military supported him.
Otherwise, given the energy of the Wang family and the connections in the military, Wang Ziteng should stop dreaming if he wants to join the ranks of senior military attachés in his prime.
These things were occasionally revealed by the elder when he mentioned Wang Ziteng before.
In other words, the Jia clan had no talented people who were willing to join the military, otherwise they could easily dilute the military forces supporting Wang Ziteng.
Wang Ziteng himself would definitely not be happy to see people from the Jia clan entering the army. If such a person really appeared, he might suddenly die suddenly in an accident. Don't think that he can't do it in order to consolidate the power in his hands.
From this, it can be inferred that Wang Ziteng's seemingly well-intentioned suggestion to Jia Cong to join the army was just a test.
If Jia Cong really dares to agree directly, he will reap the rewards later!
Obviously, Wang Ziteng was very satisfied with Jia Cong's "good sleep". He looked completely relaxed, and even his tone was so kind and kind. He smiled and said: "Don't belittle yourself. If you can write a novel like 'The Romance of the Three Kingdoms', at least
Once you have a rough understanding of battle formations, as long as you study hard, you might be able to become a generational general!"
Jia Cong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle Shi, please don't embarrass me. Don't mention this matter again!"
Wang Ziteng followed suit and directly changed the topic and asked: "I heard that the comments about the Three Kingdoms caused a lot of controversy?"
Obviously, this guy has already done some research on the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Otherwise, how could he, a senior military officer who had just returned to Beijing, have the time to pay attention to such "trivial matters"?
"Fortunately, it's just that readers and listeners have different positions and naturally have different views on certain things, so there's a bit of a debate!"
Jia Cong was really confused. He didn't understand what Wang Ziteng meant by telling him this. It was simply baffling.
It's just a novel. No matter how influential it is, it won't attract much interest to a senior military officer of Wang Ziteng's level.
Unless the current emperor or the emperor particularly likes it, or some cabinet ministers like to listen to and read it, how can officials of third rank or above pay attention to miscellaneous books and novels of a general entertainment nature?
"Don't be too relaxed!"
However, Wang Ziteng's expression turned serious and he said seriously: "I have read several volumes of the Three Kingdoms review edition you created. Some of the arguments are very sensitive. It is best not to overdo the argument, otherwise it may cause trouble?"
Could it be that someone from the court had already hinted to Wang Ziteng or put pressure on him?
Jia Cong's heart trembled, and he said with a 'wry smile': "What Uncle Shi said is true, but among the readers who participated in the debate, there is a royal child like the Prince of Chu. I can't easily offend him!"
"The Prince of Chu also joined in, what's going on?"
"It was only later that I learned that the Prince of Chu was also a fan of the Three Kingdoms book. He was also a pioneer of the "royalist" in the Three Kingdoms criticism circle. He published many comments in the book review edition. It was really hard to offend him!"
"In that case, don't get involved easily!"
Wang Ziteng did not expect such a situation. After thinking about it, he warned: "No matter how fierce the dispute over book reviews about the story of the Three Kingdoms is, you should not get involved in it randomly!"
Jia Cong nodded and agreed, so why did Wang Ziteng need to remind him?
Originally, he thought that this sudden summons would be the end, but he didn't expect that Wang Ziteng had no idea of the end and suddenly asked: "I heard that you have published a new book recently, what is it about?"
Asking knowingly!
Jia Cong didn't believe it. Wang Ziteng had not done any investigation beforehand.
However, it was difficult for him to expose this guy even if he was pretending to be confused, so he had to explain: "A novel describing Yangzhou salt merchants cannot be considered elegant!"
"A novel describing Yangzhou salt merchants?"
Wang Ziteng frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Why did you think of writing such a novel? Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"
"It's just a novel!"
In front of Wang Ziteng, Jia Cong was not in the mood to explain in detail and said disapprovingly: "Is it possible that some people will take the plot in the novel seriously?"
Wang Ziteng was speechless for a moment and said unhappily: "But the content of the novel you wrote may cause some people to misunderstand and think that it was done under the instruction of Minister Lin..."
