Chapter 54 The Lost Art of War

Meng De’s new book!

Zhao Tong put his hands on the table and slowly sat down, his heart filled with ups and downs.

This set of military books has been lost to later generations. Except for the records in romances, the only traceable book in history is "Li Weigong Questions and Answers" of the Tang Dynasty.

The book "Wen Dui" is a collection of remarks made by Taizong and Wei Gong Li Jing discussing military affairs.

It can be seen that Li Jing studied Meng De's new books, and this set of books was most likely lost during the troubled times in the late Tang Dynasty.

Asked about what he said, Meng De's new book has fourteen chapters in total, thirteen of which are military strategies, and the last one is a precious political strategy.

Zhao Tong stroked the jade slip with his hand, concentrated his energy, and looked at each word. At this glance, the sun was already setting in the west, and the sky was filled with sunset.

Just when he was about to continue reading at night, the housekeeper came to report and the palace sent someone to announce the request. Zhao Tong had no choice but to put down the jade slip and rushed to Yanfu Palace with the chamberlain.

Emperor Daojun was particularly happy today. He held a family banquet for all the children of Empress Zheng. During the dinner, the father was kind and the son was filial, and they had a great time.

Zhao Tong paused: "Where did you learn all these words?"

Zhu Xiaoyi said in a panic: "Your Majesty, it's not that I want to go, it's Ouyang Bei who wants to drag him away. I have to ask him for money. If he doesn't go, I'll greet him with a big fist like an alms bowl!"

Hong Qi frowned and said, "Where else is there anyone willing to do this job?"

Zhao Tong said: "How talented is this child? He just imitated his father. Now that he is no longer in the palace and far away from his father, he feels weak."

Zhao Tie looked at him with sharp eyes and said, "How many Nine Pocket Elders are there in dirty clothes?"

Zhu Xiaoyi was stunned and said hurriedly: "Going up the mountain of swords and entering the sea of ​​fire, it's hard to change your bravery and loyalty."

Su Shi said: "I often send people to check, and I see that there are always people watching in the dark. I just don't know if they are from the Taiwei Mansion. My lord, why don't you go and say hello to Gao Qiu?"

After writing it, Mo Qian gave it to him. When Zhao Tong left the palace with the words, the Jade Rabbit was hanging high and the night was getting dark.

Emperor Daojun smiled and said: "My second brother said this, and I naturally feel happy about it. But I remember that my second brother also wrote poems and lyrics when he was a child. His words shocked the scholars and spread among the people in those days. Now I still remember a few sentences,

It’s quite exciting, but why has there been no new work in recent years?”

Soldiers are the door to the right and strange. The way of heaven is right, and the deceitful way is strange. Besides the right and strange, there is still the hidden way...

Zhao Tong said coldly: "You are short-sighted. If you go back and read more, you will know the benefits. If you are in trouble, ask the old lieutenant and he will naturally give you some advice."

Zhu Xiaoyi said: "I really understand!"

Hong Qi quickly confessed, and Zhao Tong thought: "Go to Suiyulou and fetch that lazy Zhu Xiaoyi. I have something to say."

Zhu Xiaoyi hurriedly kowtowed: "Young ones can do well, but if they don't do well, they will be beaten and punished."

Zhao Tong looked at Zhu Xiaoyi and said with a smile: "Are you loyal?"

Zhao Tong walked a few steps and said, "Why did you betray Wuyou Cave when you saw that cicada's wings looked like blades?"

The corners of Zhao Tong's eyes twitched and he said: "Dad, if you really want a reward, then I'll give you something and ask your father to agree."

Hong Qidao: "Your Majesty, although we have relocated, there are too many people, so I'm afraid there will be chaos."

Sitting in the sedan chair, he secretly thought to himself that this word would be worth a lot of money in future generations, but he didn't know how much silver it could be sold for.

After returning to the mansion, not wanting to take a nap, Zhao Tong came to the study again and continued to read Meng De's new book.

Zhu Xiaoyi said sarcastically: "The prince gave me money, and I went to Goulan to listen to the opera for two days in a row. I sang on the stage, and I took note of it myself."

Zhao Tong said meaningfully: "After the chaos in Guifanlou, there were only three people including Lu Qiu, so I asked Hong Qi to make one too."

Zhao Tong greeted him and said: "Although my child is now in charge of the army for my father, I have also been learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and writings from sages since I was a child. I have always admired my father's good calligraphy, his beautiful bones, his leisurely fun, and his traces of immortality. My child If you want a painting from Daddy, please give me a reward."

As a soldier, go up to attack the heart, go down to attack the home, and go down to attack the city...

Zhao Tong said: "When you have money, you don't think about buying a home, but you go to Goulan to listen to music. I think you have bad habits that are hard to change!"

Zhu Xiaoyi stood up and left. Zhao Tong saw that the sun was shining outside and walked out with his hands behind his hands.

Emperor Daojun called Zhao Tong to the Imperial Study Room, and Xunxun said: "Second brother, you have done a great job in this matter. I am deeply impressed. If you want any reward, just tell me."

Zhao Tong said: "How dare I ask for a reward to share my worries with you? I just hope that my father will achieve great success in Taoism and live a long and prosperous life."

Emperor Daojun said curiously: "Second brother, you don't want gold and silver beauties, do you want antiques and treasures?"

Hong Qidao: "Originally there were seven or eight people. A few died when they destroyed Gui Fanlou. Now there are only three people."

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Tong had been studying the art of war for several days. On this day, Hong Qi came to report that the dirty-clothed disciple who had come from the evil cave had been properly placed.

Zhao Tong thought for a while and said: "You can pick the strong and loyal ones and practice them after hard work. I will be of great use."

Emperor Daojun looked at him, stroked his beard, and said, "Second brother, are you happy with the beautiful women? I will reward you with a hundred beauties to fill the palace and make your speech more fragrant."

Soldiers, major events in the world, between life and death, the way of survival and destruction...

Zhu Xiaoyi clapped his fingers and said: "That's four, including the little one, it's five. The little one understands!"

Zhao Tong said: "There are three people. Counting you, there are four people. There is something wrong. We need to add one more."

Zhao Tong said: "There is a Nine-Pocket Elder on the dirty clothes side. You go and do it."

When he came to the pavilion and sat down, something suddenly occurred to him. He sent someone to call Su Shi and asked, "How is Xiao Zhang's house over there?"

Zhao Tong's heart was moved, but he shook his head and said: "My child has a certain amount of salary, and we don't hold poetry gatherings and banquets on weekdays. It is enough for daily expenses, so there is no need for this."

Taojun shook his head and said: "But that's not the truth. The ministers below have accomplished such a big thing, and they still need generous rewards, let alone their own children? Second brother, don't you want gold and silver?"

Zhao Tong looked at him and said, "Do you really understand?"

Zhu Xiaoyi was stunned when he heard this: "Being a flower head? This young man is quite capable, but I don't know how many elders there are right now?"

When Emperor Daojun heard this, he was slightly startled, and then laughed: "Second brother really wins my heart, I'm sure, Zhang Di, come and moisten the ink and lay the paper, I want to write a thousand-character essay as a reward for the second brother Son!"

Zhu Xiaoyi lowered his head and said: "Good birds choose trees to roost in, and wise ministers choose their masters to serve."

Zhao Tong hurriedly saluted again: "Thank you dad for the gift. The child will keep dad's calligraphy in the study room and copy it every day. I only hope it will be one-tenth or two times as warm as dad. It will be a happy heart."

Zhao Tong said: "You are waiting for your own business and I will ignore it. Now I have something for you to do. If you do it well, you will have a future. If you do it poorly..."

Hong Qi said again: "Your Majesty, why did Lu Qiu let his subordinates hang nine bags? He said that speaking in dirty clothes would have more weight."

After a long time of excitement, the banquet was over and everyone else left.

Hong Qi resigned, and about half an hour later, Zhu Xiaoyi came into the house to pay his respects and said, "Your Majesty, who is a thousand years old, has summoned me. Do you have any orders for me?"

Zhao Tong nodded: "That's good, go out and find Hong Qi, he will make arrangements."

Emperor Daojun laughed again when he heard this, took the pen presented by Zhang Di, and began to write a thousand-character essay.

Zhao Tong said: "It doesn't matter. Let's divide them into several branches and stay far away from each other. They don't allow each other to see each other. Each one has his own plan. If he has enough food and clothing, and a room to sleep in, he will be quiet."

Zhao Tong sneered and said: "The officials are sympathetic to him and favor him. Obviously he doesn't dare to do anything, but secretly he has even plotted against me. Now that the revenge of killing my son is all on my mother, how can I let it go?"

Su Shi said: "I'm afraid that he will violate the law."

Zhao Tong said: "Keep staring, I'll go see how you are doing."

After saying that, Zhao Tong walked to the back garden, passed several pavilions, and came to the small building. He saw the young lady holding a flower hoe, with a snow-white silk handkerchief wrapped around her forehead, wiping her sweat, and busy beside the garden. What are you wearing?
