Chapter 58 Flying into an ordinary citizen's home

  In the temple of abundance.

  Xiao Qi stared at Tang Guan who had been silent all along, somewhat at a loss.

  It was fine yesterday, strolling around Qinglou and writing letters home, but today it disappeared early in the morning and reappeared like this.

  Chen Yunsheng sat beside him, looking at Tang Guan. He asked several times in the carriage what had happened in the palace, but Tang Guan remained silent.

  Until he returned to his dormitory, Tang Guan still had a "deep hatred" look on his face.

  Although Tang Guan was angry, he didn't hold a grudge against Wu Zetian's behavior. The reason for his silence was that Wu Zetian's over-the-top actions had finally begun to deviate from the one he knew in history.

  Perhaps the historical records are incomplete, and the combination of factors such as iron-bloodedness, brutality, unfulfilled desires, cleverness, calmness, and intrigue in one woman cannot be fully described in words.

  Tang Guan knew that the article could only bring him two possible outcomes. One was that his utility value would be lost, and because of an article, the rebel army's morale would fluctuate, ending the suppression, history returning to normal, Wu Zetian continuing to deal with Pei Yan, at most later generations would remember a boy named Tang Guan who ended a not-so-ordinary historical period.

  Another thing, of course, is what Tang Guan expected, that is, Wu Zetian's self-importance was far from just this. Like orthodox history, she not only thought about how to become emperor but also thought about how to be after becoming emperor, because this article is more important to herself.

  However, Wu Zetian's unpredictable personality made Tang anxious again. "Alas, I think I'm the most miserable time-traveler in history."

  He suddenly found himself and that woman standing on completely unequal platforms, and it was totally inconsistent with his previous fantasies. What about becoming a first-class official, taking charge of the frontier, marrying a foreign princess? It seems that he had underestimated the heroes of the world at this time.

  "Whatever, let's just think about how to stay alive." Tang Guan only then realized that everything else was false, but survival was true. In his past life, he had no loved ones to cherish or miss, but in this life, he had so many people and things to care about. He couldn't die, nor could he bear to die.

  Wu Zetian was despised by the secular world, saying she was the emperor's concubine, yet also the empress dowager of the motherly virtues of heaven, saying she was lewd and disorderly, but she was also the future female emperor about to be born.

  The ambition of Tang Guan is still there, but on this layer of useless ambition, another layer of caution has been added. Only with caution can there be an opportunity to realize the ambition.

  Chen Yunsheng and Xiao Qi saw Tang Guan, smiled bitterly, shook his head from time to time, and couldn't help but look at each other. After a long while, Chen Yunsheng finally couldn't bear to ask again: "Tang Guan, what exactly happened in the palace?"

  Tang Guan smiled wryly and looked at Chen Yunsheng, just about to speak when a figure hastily ran in through the door.

  "Sir! The notice... the name of this young man is on the notice!" The bailiff panted as he entered, the three men had been staying here for many days and were somewhat familiar with the people in the inn, and the first bailiff was literate.

  "What!?" Chen Yunsheng was shocked and jumped up upon hearing the words. Combining it with Tang Guan's current situation, he also heard the word "announcement", and suddenly became greatly shocked and lost his composure.

  Tang Guan also jumped at the eyelid and stood up to ask: "What notice?"

  "The notice from the palace was too crowded with people, I couldn't see it clearly, only saw that there was a young master's name on top"

  Tang Guan immediately exchanged a glance with Chen Yunsheng, and Chen Yunsheng immediately said: "Take us to see"

  Chen Yunshang already held the position of Censor-in-Chief, and by rights his departure should have been quite grand, but at this time he had not yet received his official seal, nor had he taken up his post, and he hadn't even changed into his official robes.

  He couldn't care about these details at the moment, and took Tang Guan and Xiao Qi out of the house in a hurry.

  "He led the way while pointing and said: 'Just downstairs in front'".

  Tang Guan looked over and saw that the other side was already packed to the point of bursting, with bursts of cheers and curses erupting from within.

  "Good article!"

  "Death to traitors!"

  When Tang Guan saw this scene, he was even more shocked in his heart. Chen Yunsheng hastily accelerated and rushed to the back of the crowd.

  A large crowd gathered around, almost everyone in the neighborhood who could read came to watch. The owner of the house saw this and shouted: "The official is going out on a trip!"

  Everyone heard the words and turned around to see Chen Yunsheng's official uniform on his body, hastily retreating in a flurry. Only then did Chen Yunsheng pull the two of them to the front of the notice.

  Chen Yunsheng stared blankly ahead, "The 'Discussion on the Capture of the Rebel'! Is this written by you?"

  Tang Guan was stunned on the spot, looking up at the three characters "Tang Qu Bing" and suddenly felt a shock. This article is obviously not the original version, the ink marks are still wet, it's clearly just been printed.

  What surprised Tang Guan was that he hadn't even mentioned a word in the article, but the name was almost identical to the handwriting below. It was imitated so well that outsiders couldn't tell, but Tang Guan himself saw it at a glance.

  "Wow, you're so impressive, you can actually imitate my handwriting!"

  To know that Tang Crown relied on his ability to remember at a glance, he had observed and studied the calligraphy of famous families, imitated their handwriting, and then dismantled and combined them. What he wrote was neither the popular running script of the time nor the formal regular script, but a kind of extremely recognizable and unique "杂烩字体" (mixed font).

  "Go away, illness!" Chen Yunsheng saw Tang Guan stunned again and shouted once more. The onlookers who heard this also instantly turned their gaze towards Tang Guan, and the notice above him indeed had the two characters "go away, illness".

  Tang Guan immediately came back to his senses and nodded: "It was I who wrote it."

  He said and looked at the notice again.

  Chen Yunsheng heard this and hesitated for a moment, completely unaware of when Tang Guan had written such an article again.

  "When did you write it"

  "This morning in the palace" Tang Guan stared at the notice on the building, which was written by himself. He certainly wouldn't look at its contents, but rather that one name.

  No matter who imitated his name, Wu Zetian did this, which revealed a message that excited Tang Guan.

  "Haha! This is what you asked for!" Tang Guan laughed loudly in his heart, he had won the bet again, he was a gambler, betting against heaven and earth, betting against Wu Zetian!

  Ke Chen Yunsheng was shocked, if this was written this morning, looking at the sky, now it's just past noon, in a short period of time, it was actually printed out, really unbelievable.

  To understand the difficulties of ancient block printing, the first thing is to make a mold, and it must be exactly the same as the original handwriting. Sometimes, one mold takes hundreds of days to complete. This article may not be long, but to carve out an exact replica would take several watches, which is unthinkable.

  And this doesn't even count as the real start of printing time.

  At the same time, identical notices were posted all over Chang'an, with the same scene unfolding in every direction, and more and more onlookers gathering.

  A scholar in white robes, still holding a freshly purchased fine wine, stared blankly at the notice before him.

  "Bang!" The wine jug fell and shattered into pieces.

  The scholar gazed at the name on the notice and muttered to himself: "Qùbìng..."

  Tang went to illness and a paper "Discussing the reversal of the text" flashed into an ordinary citizen's home, and for a time it was famous in Chang'an City!

  In the Great Ming Palace.

  An old man and a fleeting shadow stood in a secluded pavilion.

  The old man held up a piece of paper and laughed: "Wan'er, they all say you're a talented woman. Now I really believe it."

  "You're overpraising me, Wan'er just helped a talented scholar with his writing. This young gentleman is truly a hero of the Great Tang"

  "Haha, Lord Pei is indeed a godly strategist! This child will surely become a great talent!" The old man stroked his beard and laughed loudly, surprisingly it was that Prime Minister Liu Jingxian.

  That fleeting figure was actually Shangguan Wan'er!

  "Drive!"

  A man wearing light armor rides a horse at full gallop, it is indeed the eight hundred li urgent report, the divine scout of the army!

  At this time, he rode four fine horses, if it were an ordinary person, they would have been torn apart by the force of the pull, but he was as stable as Mount Tai on horseback, and the dust rolled up in the air as the hooves flew.

  It was strange that several horses were carrying two sacks on their backs, but it was unknown what they were.

  People say that during the day, they travel a thousand miles, and at night, they rush eight hundred miles. To people in later generations, it may seem like an exaggeration, but at this time when transportation is not developed, all you see is the scout galloping wildly on horseback, with the surrounding scenery blurring into black dots.

  I'm afraid everyone present couldn't help but cheer: "Good riding skills!"
