There are many teahouses on Qianmen Street.

Nowadays, tea has become popular in the Tang Dynasty. Even if it is a home for ordinary people, it will prepare some tea. Although tea may be the cheapest tea cake, it is absolutely impossible to have no tea. Not to mention that visitors usually have to prepare tea, even if they are home, they can make tea almost every day.

In the eyes of the people, tea is not a kind of art, they regard it as a medicine. Drinking it can strengthen the body, cure diseases but not the disease.

I don’t know how this concept was passed on, but it has indeed greatly accelerated the popularity of tea.

The teahouse where Li and the others came to have become a high-end teahouse. Unlike the shops on the side of the road that simply sell big bowls of tea to passers-by to quench their thirst, this kind of teahouse has already integrated leisure and entertainment.

There are scattered seats downstairs and private rooms upstairs.

The decoration is also very unique, and the downstairs are quite lively. Therefore, the teahouse not only contains tea doctors, tea girls performing kung fu tea, but also has clever housekeepers who sing tea names and operas.

And there is a stage on the first floor.

Every day there are storytellers, and sometimes people will perform juggling on it.

There are many kinds of teas to drink, basically all kinds of tea are available here now. Guests can have any teas they want, and they can also ask for tea art performances, and even the water for making tea is given to them. There are water springs picked from the surrounding areas, water from famous wells nearby, and even mountain spring water transported from Wudang Mountain.

There are also many desserts.

What kind of tea you drink can match with what kind of snacks you can drink.

Order a pot of tea, ask for a few exquisite snacks, ask a tea girl to perform her tea art, and even call two girls to rub her shoulders and knock on her legs, or you can ask someone to read the newspaper for a few cents.

If you want a private room upstairs, someone will even play the sound of the piano for you.

People who come here are very leisurely, and some even play chess while drinking tea.

It is not cheap to spend once in this teahouse. Even ordinary tea is definitely more expensive than what you buy. Of course, Li thinks it is worth it. The teahouse is well decorated and the atmosphere is also very good, not to mention that people can watch free storytelling and performances.

After sitting down for a while, an old man in white robe came on stage.

There was a desk on the stage. The old man sat down, picked up a gavel and slapped it hard on the table, attracting the eyes of the tea guests in the hall.

"The book is followed last time..."

The storyteller talked about the legend of heroes of the Tang Dynasty, which is the most popular storytelling book today. The storytelling was originally produced by Li, and the storytelling was just a common saying in the temple. But after the storytelling appeared, it became very popular.

The vast majority of storytellers talk about the legend of heroes in the Tang Dynasty.

Nothing else, this book was first written in the Times, which was so popular. The Legend of the Heroes of the Tang Dynasty was just a scattered article at the beginning, and Li Huiqiong, Pingyang and others interviewed the Times' Character Column.

Later, they published a special issue.

Finally, Li connected Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and other celebrities who had interviewed in newspapers and wrote them into a book. The book was mainly written in imitation of the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but the content had many changes.

Because it is still the early Tang Dynasty, this book criticizes Sui and praises the Tang Dynasty. There are few fictions in the books, which are basically facts. A multi-character biography with the style of historical books.

However, the writing style is different from the ordinary. The book is very long, with millions of words. Moreover, there are many characters. Qin Qiong was the first to appear and spent a lot of writing. He created a hero in the late Sui Dynasty. He was famous for his reputation as a young man. Later, the soldiers who entered the palace and sent him to Hu'er as his personal soldiers.

There are also characters such as Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin, Lao Tieqin and others in the book.

Qin Shubao is the protagonist, but he is not the only protagonist. However, the whole book mainly describes this turbulent era from his perspective.

One by one, one hero and another appeared one after another, Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Dou Jiande, Liu Heita, even Yang Guang, Yu Wenji, Li Mi, Zhai Rang, etc.

But the most amazing thing is of course the positive characters such as Qin Qiong. Even Li Yuan and his son have become real dragons that are destined to be in the book.

Qin Qiong was loyal, righteous, kind and filial, and brave and loyal.

Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin, Shan Xiongxin, Niu Jinda, Li Ji, Li Jing and so on.

Every character has flesh and blood, and their stories are true, but they are described in a popular vernacular. This book is not a short biography written in classical Chinese, but for the people to read.

This book became famous when it was serialized in newspapers, and when storytellers used it to talk about storytelling, they were naturally popular.

Even if many stories are already very familiar to everyone, they still cheered excitedly when they hear the wonderful things.

"The Prince of Qi, Prince of Lu and others have been remembered for generations, and are even more famous than the official biography." Prince Chengqian also liked this book. He felt that Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others in this book were truly flesh and blood, and were real people. Reading was like seeing them in person.

"This is the image of the folk. The official history and biography are only a few thousand words, and some people even have a biography of one person, and each person only has a few hundred words. How can we summarize the wonderfulness of his life?"

"The teacher is right."

This book of Heroes of the Tang Dynasty is a biography of many characters, and can even be regarded as a official history book, because the contents in it are all real, but the angles of the selection are different.

The court generally does not allow the people to write such historical books and biography, but this book Li is allowed. Although this book is written on the surface of the heroic behavior of Qin Qiong and others, it actually has always promoted the Li family father and son as the true emperor and the orthodox Li Tang.

Of course Li Shimin saw this book.

What's more, Li Shimin is also a protagonist in the book. Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and Li Xiuning are all very positive. Li Yuan's strategy, Li Shimin's intelligence, and Li Xiuning's men are not as good as men.

At the beginning of the book, Li actually had no share.

But later, when Li connected the characters in the book, he added himself.

In this book, Master Li Sui, Master Sanzang, travels around the world and often appears.

At the beginning of the book, it talks about the Sanzang master who was practicing in the deep mountains watching the celestial phenomena at night, and calculated that the Sui Dynasty was about to perish and a new emperor would be born. Then he went down the mountain to find the real dragon, but when he went down the mountain, he found the abandoned baby Li. So he adopted the baby and took him to walk around the world to find the real dragon.

Later, Master Sanzang even calculated that Li Yuan and Li Shimin would become the emperor.

In short, in this book, Master Sanzang is a very mysterious monk. He has long predicted that the Tang Dynasty would replace the Sui Dynasty and that Li Yuan and Li Shimin should be regarded as the emperor.

For example, the three heroes in the book, Li Jing and Zhang Chuchen and Zhang Zhongjian, were also very fantastic by Li. In fact, it was not that mysterious, but Li used some artistic techniques and was a little exaggerated.

Some characters have become villains in Li's books, such as Luo Yi, Wang Junkuo, Li Yuan, etc., as well as Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Li Mi, Yu Wenhua and Du Fuwei, etc., and these people have all become foils.

During the chaotic times of the Sui Dynasty and Yang Guang's stupidity and violence were all exaggerated.

Li actually had a high opinion of Yang Guang, thinking that this person is talented and has great ideals, but he is a little happy with achievements. Later, he gave up on himself and ruined a great country. In the legend of the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Guang became even more foolish and cruel.

However, these changes are very popular among the people, and even Li Shimin thought they were well written.

Li Shimin even talked to Li several times, but in order to add plays to himself in the book, Li Zhen added several plays to him. For example, when he besieged Luoyang, Li Shimin took the risk himself, used himself as bait, lured the enemy into battle, and then captured thousands of enemy troops. For example, when he was exploring the enemy camp, Shan Xiongxin chased the King of Qin alone, and Li Ji finally stopped him to death. Yuchi Gong and Shan Xiongxin had a big battle, and Li Shimin escaped by chance.

Originally, Shan Xiongxin was chasing Li Yuanji, and the two of them fought with spears, and Li Yuanji was finally defeated. However, because of Li Shimin's special request, Li finally wrote that Shan Xiongxin pursued Li Shimin, Li Ji and Yuchi Gong saved the master.

This play made Li Shimin very satisfied. Later, Li added it as he asked. When Li Shimin was hunting, he chased a tiger and ran to Cheng Yaojin's territory. Cheng Yaojin pursued him all the way, and Li Shimin hid in a Laojun Temple in the mountains. Cheng Yaojin chased him, and Li Shimin had nowhere to escape at that time, but the magical thing was that when Cheng Yaojin entered the temple, he only saw a golden dragon hovering in front of Laojun's throne, but Li Shimin could not be seen.

Cheng Yaojin retreated in fear, and Li Shimin escaped.

With the continuous addition of plays, Li Shimin often appears in this book, and it is very powerful every time. Later, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others were convinced by this true dragon and abandoned Wang Shichong to join Li Tang. They also made countless contributions to the founding of Li Tang, etc.

Li often adds scenes to himself.

His master, Master Sanzang, was at the end of the Sui Dynasty. He was a master who could count five hundred years in advance and then five hundred years. Li shamelessly wrote him as a baby, writing about him growing up little by little at the end of the Sui Dynasty and accepting all kinds of magical abilities. Anyway, he was fine or not, so he wrote a paragraph in the middle that he and his master traveled around the world, saving the suffering and even made some predictions from time to time.

Anyway, he was very successful in the book and made everyone who had read this book suddenly realize, "No wonder Li Sanlang is so amazing. It turns out that he grew up with a mysterious monk since he was a child and learned countless magical abilities."

The Legend of the Heroes of the Tang Dynasty has ended now and ended at Xuanwu Gate. Originally, Li wanted to write the story of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, but the stories of the following years were written by Li Shimin strongly requested to continue.

Therefore, in the next few years, Li simply shamelessly wrote about what he wrote.

It was written all the way to Xuanwu Gate that this palace change was just like the official propaganda. Li Yuan was preparing to abolish and build it. The construction was urgently needed to jump the wall to make the palace change. Finally, Li notified the King of Qin, so the King of Qin turned the tide...

"Teacher, I heard that this book is very popular?"

"Yeah, it's very hot."

This set of books was printed by Li Ji Printing House and has been published for three years. A total of 20,000 sets were sold, a number that is unbelievable. However, Li Shimin bought 3,000 sets out of his own pocket, and often used this book as a reward to civil and military soldiers.

Many people in the Tang Dynasty, including many soldiers, have really regarded this book as an official historical book. They have really regarded the book as historical facts.

"I heard that the teacher is writing a book again, what is it?"

"The Legend of the Three Kingdoms!" Li shamelessly prepared to publish the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in advance. The serialization of the Legend of the Tang Dynasty greatly increased the amount of time in Li's time. Li was preparing to change the Romance of the Three Kingdoms to the name "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms" and put it in the newspaper and then serialized it.

"Are they the First Three Kingdoms or the Later Three Kingdoms?" Cheng Qian asked, those who had just experienced the Southern and Northern Dynasties were used to referring to the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty as the First Three Kingdoms, and to refer to the Zhou, Qi and Chen at the end of the Northern Dynasties as the Later Three Kingdoms.

"It was the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, which wrote the stories of heroes and heroes such as Cao Cao and Liu Bei. There were eighteen princes who raised an army to rebel against Dong Zhuo, and there were three rebellions in Taoyuan, as well as Cao Cao's 800,000 troops in the Red Cliff Battle, and Zhuge Liang went out to Qi six times. This would be a very good book!"
