In the morning, Fang Xuanling entered the Qin Palace with a pair of dark circles. Du Ruhui, who was walking towards him, also had the same panda eyes. When they met, they were stunned.
Then he smiled and said, "I guess you read the Three Character Classic last night, right?"
Fang Xuanling nodded, "Yes, I was shocked when I saw it. I thought about it all night and the more I read it, the more I tasted it. It's such a good book."
"Well, I really didn't expect that Zhang Sanlang would have such a great talent." Du Ruhui also said sincerely.
Li Shimin came in from outside and heard his two counselors praising Zhang San, and immediately became energetic. "Two gentlemen, were you talking about Zhang San just now?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Li Shimin stroked his little beard and suddenly became energetic. Since Fang Xuanling came to see him in the middle of the night last time, he said that Zhang San's master was a divination master, and the mysterious prophecy he had heard, and what Zhang San said about his face and the emperor's aura, Li Shimin is no match for Zhang San than before.
In the past, Zhang San was just Qin Shubao's adopted son at first, but later he was very good at cooking. Later, he was very knowledgeable about economics, and later he was very skilled in medicine, and he was young and smart. But after that day, Zhang San immediately became a little taller. Thinking about the past, Zhang San could invent the Quyuan Plough, invent alcoholic medicine, take out the nursing regulations of the injury camp, and even sent him into the thief's cave to persuade him to surrender. He could return safely, and even took the 100,000 people helpless Mingzhou City.
Li Shimin felt that he had underestimated Zhang San before. Zhang San was not an ordinary novice monk. He was simply a master who had been deeply influenced by the true teachings of Master Sanzang.
Although young, his ability is not low.
These days, Li Shimin has always regretted it a little. Shouldn't he agree to let Zhang San be an undercover agent in the East Palace? Although Zhang San took the initiative to ask, and Zhang San's move is indeed powerful. But he is always worried, what if Zhang San really acts like a fake role and becomes the prince's person at that time?
Now, whenever Li Shimin hears Zhang San's name, he becomes a little nervous.
"What's wrong with Zhang San?" Li Er asked.
There were no other people in the room, so Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui had nothing to be afraid of, so they immediately talked about Zhang Sanxin's compilation of the Three Character Classic.
"You said Zhang San compiled this book, a Mongolian book, and this Mongolian book is very impressive. It can be compared with the Thousand Characters, and it is equally good?" Li Shimin was extremely surprised. Zhang San knew how to cook, have medical skills, and do business. When did he even write books?
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui took out the three-character classic almost at the same time.
The standard Bashang Zhangjialan cover line-mounted version looks very stylish at first glance.
Li Shimin took it and wrote three large characters on the cover. It was very well written. It was obvious that it was written by someone with a high level of calligraphy. Look at the bottom, there are a few small characters written by Zhang Chao on the Ba, and there is also a seal next to it, the prince washes the horse.
Seeing this seal, Li Shimin couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes. He personally made an official appointment and promised to let Zhang Chao come to his Tiance Mansion as a military officer, but he refused. Now he has become the prince's horse washing machine all at once.
Could it be that he thought the official he gave was too small? The seventh rank of military service, and the prince was a fifth rank of horse washing.
After taking a few long breaths, Li Shimin opened the cover.
"This book is quite good in form. It is bound with thread every page. Although it feels a bit troublesome than the album, it looks convenient and easy to carry."
Li Shimin first praised the format of the thread-bound book, and then saw Zhang Chao's preface, with a large number of words, many pages, and more than 500 words.
"Bailu Academy Instructions (Zhang Family Rules)."
The first line at the beginning is this sentence.
Li Shimin frowned, "Which academy is this Bailu Academy?"
"When I went back to your highness, I asked the Zhang family's manager. I heard that Zhang Wenyuan built a private school in Zhangjiagou, Bailu Township, Bashang, to accept the children of nearby villagers. He only wanted to accept dozens of children, but the villagers came enthusiastically and sent thousands of children to Zhangjiagou. Later, Zhang Chao had to expand his enrollment. Finally, he chose 200 children aged six to enter the private school for enlightenment. Because there were too many children, he no longer called Zhangjiao Private School, but Bailu Academy."
Du Ruhui also continued, "This Three-character Classic is a Mongolian text compiled by Zhang Wenyuan for the enlightenment of children in Bailu Academy. It is easy to understand and catchy. In addition, there is a preface in front of this book, which was also written by Zhang Wenyuan. This preface is not only the rules of the Zhang family established by him, but also the inscription of Bailu Academy."
"Get up at dawn, clean the courtyard, clean the inside and outside,
When you are dull and rest, lock the door and check it yourself.
Every porridge and meal should be thought about where it comes from; half a thread, always think about the difficulty of material resources."
Li Shimin nodded and chanted the Zhang family rules softly. Most wealthy families will have family rules and will demand their children very strictly.
Now the Zhang family actually has clear family rules.
After reading the first paragraph, Li Shimin couldn't help but lit up his eyes. When he recited a porridge and a meal, he even raised his voice by octaves.
"Start at dawn and clean the courtyard. It is good to clean the house inside and outside, and to do the school motto. It is easy to understand, concise and comprehensive, neat and full of the purpose of self-cultivation and family management. It is good."
"It is better to prepare before the rain, and do not dig a well when thirsty."
The more he read, the more surprised Li Shimin became. He could not have imagined that Zhang San could compile such a good family rule. After reading the whole article, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Highness, the full text is 524 words, but it can be regarded as a classic. Such family motto is not only available to the Zhang family, but also to the world."
"Hahaha." Li Shimin suddenly laughed.
"Why is Your Highness laughing?"
Li Shimin smiled and said, "I just think that although Zhang San's family is well written, he himself did not abide by it. Look at these three sentences here, the utensils are of quality and clean, and the tiles are better than gold and jade; the food is fine and the garden is more delicious.
Do not build a rich house or seek good land.
The three aunts and sisters are actually a matchmaker for adultery and thieves; the beautiful maids and concubines are not a blessing in the boudoir."
Li Shimin pointed at those few words and laughed, "I know this Zhang San quite well. It's best to enjoy it. I heard that a new cave was built in his home, and it was extremely luxurious. Not only did he lay bricks in the house, but he also built a whole set of beautiful furniture for the new cave. For the sake of enjoyment, he even dug a derrick in the yard to repair the water tower and made tap water."
"Also, Zhang San is the most delicious, and the food must be fine. Not to mention that Zhang San is quite rich, and he is building a house and seeking fertile land. It's not long before Zhang San bought dozens of hectares of fertile land. I heard that he also bought tens of thousands of acres of ditch slopes?"
Fang Xuanling also smiled and said, "Your Highness hasn't said that he bought the big house next to Ruhui's house. It cost 3,000 guan just to buy it. In addition, it is still under construction for decoration. I have seen it a few times, and it is indeed very luxurious."
"You have already taken a concubine before Zhang Sangang got married. I also heard that he and a little lady in the next village were also rumored. This kid is not only greedy for money but also lustful." Li Shimin said with a smile.
After saying this, the three of them looked at the Zhang family motto, which was like a warning to the world, and they frowned. Zhang San himself could not do anything, but he insisted on writing such a righteous and even wrote it as the Zhang family motto, which was only allowed to set fire to the state officials and not allow the people to light the lamp.
If there is such a parent, will Zhang's descendants abide by Zhang's family motto in the future? With a mountain leader like him, can Bailu Academy students achieve this motto?
Fang Xuanling touched half of her face, as if she had a toothache.
"If you don't mention Zhang Sanlang himself, this school motto and family rules are really good."
Li Shimin had to nod.
"I will leave this book to me later. I will copy this family rule and let Chengqian and others read it later."
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui had long planned to regard the Zhang family rules as their own.
"This Zhang Sanlang really can do something big if he doesn't pay attention." Li Shimin sighed while stroking his beard.
"Your Highness, this is a good thing." Fang Xuanling said.
Du Ruhui sat aside and nodded in agreement.
"Zhang Sanlang showed great skills. Your Highness can tell just by watching the prince transfer Zhang Sanlang into the East Palace. We are quite familiar with Zhang Sanlang and it doesn't feel obvious. But from the perspective of outsiders, Zhang Sanlang is a talented person. He can invent the Quyuan Plough, invent the alcoholic pharmacy, invent the nursing regulations of the injured barracks, and even enter the city alone to persuade the rebels to surrender and seize Mingzhou. Zhang Sanlang's reputation in Chang'an City has been very well-known, let alone, he married Cui Shisanniang, but it made the whole Chang'an sensation. Such a talented and famous person is what the prince has always liked."
"Now Zhang Sanlang has written such excellent Three Character Classics and Zhang's family rules, which is a literary event. With this book alone, Zhang San can be among the famous scholars of the gentry, and he will only be more valued in the East Palace in the future. Your Highness, don't forget that Zhang San is now the undercover agent of our invasion into the East Palace. The higher his status in the East Palace, the more secrets he will come into contact with, and the more beneficial it will be to us."
Li Shimin kept nodding.
That's true.
But when I think about it, a few months ago, I was just a chef who could make pork delicious, but now I have to transform myself into a famous scholar. It’s a bit difficult to adapt to.
How much ability does Zhang San have not revealed?
"Xuanling, Ruhui, do you think Zhang San will never go back after he arrives at the East Palace?" Li Shimin was a little worried about Zhang San such a powerful person. What if he surrendered to the prince?
"Your Highness, please rest assured. Since Zhang San can come to find his subordinates that day, it means he will never do such a thing. If he really wants to resign from the prince, why should he say that? Especially he said that His Highness is the master of the world. If such words are leaked in the future, even if Zhang San has nine lives, he will not die enough. The entire Zhang family will be placed in a place of doom. Zhang Sanlang will never rebel no matter what."
Only five people knew about what they said that day, Zhang Chao, Fang Xuanling, Li Shimin, Du Ruhui and Qin Qiong. What they didn't know was that Zhang Chao also told Zhang Tieqin.
But only these six people knew that Li Shimin only told Qin Qiong to avoid some misunderstandings.
"Your Highness, since Zhang San can make a fortune, he will not dare to act against the will of heaven!"
Li Shimin nodded, feeling a little disappointed. He felt that he could no longer grasp Zhang San. Zhang San was no longer the one who was under his control on the battlefield in Hebei.
I had stomach problems again yesterday. It hurts so much today that I can’t even write the words. Yesterday and today I can only use the previous manuscript to update it first.
