Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 68

After a toast, all that's left is to start discussing the affairs of the next year.This process is not unfamiliar to Luo Yan, and he has done this kind of thing in several rallies he attended before.

In fact, the reason why Li Shimin was so anxious to hold this rally during the Chinese New Year was mainly because of his old rival Prince Li Jiancheng's achievements in the Shandong battlefield.This is not good news for Li Shimin who has been staying in Chang'an City to hide his strength and bide his time.

Li Jiancheng has made a lot of achievements in Shandong, and with Li Gang and Wei Zheng under his command, it will be very easy to win over the wealthy families in Shandong.This is another very powerful boost above the court.And Li Jiancheng's growing power is not what Li Shimin wants to see.

Therefore, although he knew that he could only show weakness as before, but Li Shimin was still unwilling to let Li Jiancheng grow bigger like this.

Luo Yan knew that the Tang Dynasty was not stable this year, even though Li Jiancheng had pacified Liu Heita and Xu Yuanlang in Shandong.But then the Turks and Tuyuhun invaded, and there were rebellions in Danyang and Shazhou. Basically, wars and diplomatic negotiations never stopped.So now Li Shimin's worries are superfluous.

Li Jiancheng has already obtained the benefits he wanted in Shandong, but that's it.Anyway, Li Yuan asked Li Jiancheng to go to Shandong purely to make the prince's position more stable.Neither Li Shimin nor Li Jiancheng and Mao will be involved in the next battle.

So the next game is still in court.

This can be said to be Li Jiancheng's home court. Although Li Jiancheng went to Shandong these days, Li Shimin took the opportunity to win over many people, but the effect was very little.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Shimin has no hope at all despite his title of General Tiance.The person who can make up his mind the most is not him at this time.

Listening to Li Shimin's senior staff talking, Luo Yan felt a little envious.Regardless of whether these people are right or wrong, at least they can give advice to Li Shimin in this way, unlike himself, who can only keep silent like this even though he knows many things.Even if Li Shimin offered advice and advice when he needed it, it was only a way of thinking, and these senior staff members would have to nod before they could be adopted.

In fact, Li Shimin and his staff are now also being pushed by Li Jiancheng's development. If this is true, Li Yuan has to be blamed for the matter.Although this guy gave his eldest son the title of prince, his attitude towards the second son is also ambiguous.Although Li Shimin's forces have been severely suppressed recently, after the problem is suppressed, they will immediately give equal compensation.What's going on, it's completely hanging Li Shimin's hope.

I have to say that Li Yuan's hand was too dizzy.

This is clearly to let his two sons fight non-stop.Li Shimin and his staff have been hesitant to make up their minds to make a big deal. In fact, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng haven't pushed him into a hurry. In these days of fantasy, naturally they still have to follow the rules.

At this moment, several people have mentioned that Li Shimin should show some dignity, and this idea cannot be wrong.Now Li Shimin's low-key is a bit too much, and the already shallow foundation of the court can be said to be precarious now.Properly stand up and say a few words to express your position, which is still helpful to win people over.

These people all consider issues from the perspective of strengthening their own strength.But they forgot that Luo Yan said a few months ago that no matter how much you strengthen your power now, in fact, as long as Li Yuan waved his hand, no matter how reasonable you are, people can cripple your power.

These people still miscalculated Li Yuan's attitude.After all, at this time, Li Shimin suffered a lot, but at the same time took advantage of a lot.

Listening quietly, Luo Yan's thoughts slowly shifted to other places.

Recently, after reading several articles in "Han Changli Collection", Luo Yan has a lot of feelings about the ancient prose movement.

Before reading Han Yu's articles, Luo Yan actually didn't have much feeling for the two styles of ancient prose and parallel prose.Although Luo Yanzhong was a Jinshi Kejia, and later even became famous with the "Book of Quan", thanks to the blessing of "Jiayou Ji", which is actually an ancient prose, but Luo Yan may prefer parallel prose.

Because the ancient prose that impressed Luo Yan the most was actually Wang Bo's Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng.This parallel essay was very deep in Luo Yan's memory when he was in high school. Many of the poems filled in the blanks came from this essay, and it reads rhythmically and beautifully.

But reading it is the same thing. When Luo Yan tried to write the article himself, he realized that there is actually a lot of mystery in it.

Parallel prose is very particular about the author's literary skills. If you want to write a parallel prose well, you must first have a deep foundation.In many cases, for the sake of rhythm, a lot of allusions are used and rhetoric is piled up, which is not an easy task.

"Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" has been passed down through the ages, not only because of its literary value, but also because of the story of Wang Bo's beating manuscript.

The most criticized point of parallel prose in later generations is that it needs to pile up rhetoric, so that the article has less meaning and more words, which is greatly restricted in expressing the content of thoughts.Like parallel prose, there are also poems that inherit the legacy of Qi and Liang today.

Needless to say about others, thinking about the one in front of Luo Yan who is being educated with humility, he actually really likes this gorgeous article.

For the people of later generations, there was a very famous memorial "Remonstrance Taizong Shi Sishu" during Li Shimin's administration.This was written to Li Shimin by the famous Wei Heizi. Anyone who is familiar with it must know that there are a lot of duals and allusions in the sentences in the memorial.

Luo Yan thought maliciously, if all the civil and military memorials of the Manchu Dynasty were all in parallel style, would Li Shimin feel sick when he saw it.Not everyone has the skill of Wei Heizi to write a memorial so beautifully.At that time, the quality of the memorabilia will vary. Li Shimin will be fine for a year or two. If he watches it for decades, he will definitely be able to cure his liking for parallel prose.

Of course, this is just what Luo Yan thinks about. In fact, the memorials of the court are more pragmatic. Each memorial has more or less gorgeous words, but what to say is absolutely unambiguous.

In Korean, Liu Zongyuan and Sansu are collectively referred to as the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties. In fact, such a conclusion was only made in the Ming Dynasty.Without exception, they are all the initiators and representative figures of the ancient prose movement.

Many people say that the development of literature is actually linked to social economy and humanities.But at the end of the day, it really depends on what people want.

Pianwen and Qiliang legacy both started from the Wei and Jin Dynasties. At this time, the struggle between the Sima family and the Cao family was very cruel, the politics was dark, and the ideals of the scholar-bureaucrats were disillusioned, so naturally all horses were silent.The literati talked about Xuanlizong's worship of Laozhuang, and later the society was temporarily stable, but most of the literati began to pursue elegant rhetoric and neat confrontation.With economic development and intellectual monopoly, this has become an era of aristocracy, and poetry and articles are divorced from Confucian values.

If it weren't for the support of Zuo Si and Tao Qian, the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties can only be described as gorgeous in terms of literature.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan seemed to see his future direction.Literary reform must be a hurdle that I will not be able to get around in the future.It can even be said that the achievement of Wen Zong is closely related to this in terms of literature. After all, it is relatively simple to create a school of theory.It's just that I don't know if it counts as a vigorous ancient prose movement.But this is all for the future, now Luo Yan is just looking for a way.

When he wanted to transfer his thoughts to other places, Luo Yan was pushed by his teacher and came back to his senses.

It turned out that these senior staff members of Li Shimin basically expressed their own opinions, but now Li Shimin turned his ideas on Luo Yan.

Anyway, the previous strategy of keeping a low profile was proposed by Luo Yan, and Li Shimin can't avoid Luo Yan in how to take the next road at this moment.

Who knows, after signaling for a long time, Luo Yan didn't respond at all.No way, Li Shimin had no choice but to ask, but who would have thought that Luo Yan would ignore it.

This time the scene was embarrassing enough, Lu Deming had no choice but to push his disciple to bring him back to his senses.

Knowing that he lost his mind and made a mistake, Luo Yan had no choice but to apologize obediently: "Because I thought of some academic matters, Luo Yan lost his mind for a while, please forgive me, Your Highness."

Of course, everyone knows that what Luo Yan said at the moment is purely an excuse to think about knowledge, but since Luo Yan has confessed his crime, Li Shimin will not pursue it further.Instead, he said with a smile: "No wonder it was rumored that Jinzhi studied hard and was famous in Chang'an. I didn't expect that at this time he was still thinking about academic matters. Just now Xiao Wang consulted everyone's opinions on the arrangements for the next period of time. What's your opinion?"

"Well, Your Highness is being polite. I really don't have a good idea, but I do have a bad idea. I don't know if Your Highness wants to hear it." Luo Yan was also not polite.Since the question is on his head, Luo Yan will definitely not hide his clumsiness.Now in Li Shimin's camp, he can only be regarded as a second-rate figure. If he wants to increase his status, he must actively offer advice.

"Oh, let's listen to what Jin Zhi said." Li Shimin was aroused by Luo Yan's answer.

"Before I speak, Yan would like to ask His Highness a question, and I hope His Highness can answer frankly." Luo Yan already had an answer to Li Shimin's question, and naturally needed some foreshadowing.

"Excuse me."

"To be honest, how likely is it that the sage is easy to store?"

"This, I don't have much hope."

After listening to Li Shimin's answer, Luo Yan knew that Li Shimin was still taking chances at this time.What is little hope, in fact, means there is still hope.What Luo Yan needs to do now is to completely dispel Li Shimin's hope.

"It's not that there's little hope, but that there is no hope at all." Luo Yan's astonishing words attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.
