The Legacy of the First Auxiliary House of the Tang Dynasty

Fang Yiai?

Li Zhi pondered, and after a while, he said with a smile: "This man is quite interesting."

Chang Le raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, "I thought you would hate him..."

After all, Fang Yiai is the most typical dude leader among the nobles in Chang'an City.

"No, sister. He's different, and I can't tell."

Li Zhi had a good impression of Fang Yi'ai, Chang Le was slightly surprised.

However, it doesn't matter.

Chang Le said something that made King Jin frown.

"...So, I suspect that the wet nurse who served Sizi is at Gao Yang's place."

"Didn't she be retired from the palace by Grace?" Li Zhi frowned.

Princess Changle sneered, "This is called asking the imperial concubine in our palace."

"Sister, is that the maid who told you?" Li Zhi realized that Chang Le was not someone who talked nonsense.

"Don't worry about the source of the news." Princess Changle sent Li Zhi back to the palace and told him to be careful in the palace, but he is a man and his age is not two years younger than Fang Yiai. good".

"Perhaps that 'brother-in-law' of yours will know something. I'm not sure."

King Jin nodded and watched Changle leave the palace. He returned to Ganlu Palace and asked a casual question, but he heard that the emperor was in the imperial garden. Concubine Wei, Concubine Yin and others were accompanying him at the moment, and even several princesses gathered around their knees for fun. .

"Princess Gaoyang is here?" Li Zhi asked.

The little eunuch below was vigilant, subconsciously felt cold, and hurriedly lowered his head and replied: "Yes."

Li Zhi's face darkened, and he was no longer innocent and childish as usual.

……

East Palace.

The prince asked Fang Yiai to come over one day, and Fang Yiai was tired of being at home these days, so Lu Shi even drove him out.

Seeing that Fang Yiai went to the East Palace, Fang Xuanling sighed and put down the books in his hand.

"Why are you driving him away?" Fang Xuanling also wanted to hear the second son's unique reading opinions. Fang Yiai occasionally immersed himself in the study, and when Fang Xuanling came over, the two could still discuss classics and poetry for a long time .

Lu said eloquently: "It's not that you are old and weak, you know you are bored at home all day long. At this age, you should go out and play hard. What's the matter if you stay at home."

"Madam is always right." Fang Xuanling shook his head, and was about to pick up the book to read again, but was taken away by Mrs. Lu, and went outside to stroll in the garden and enjoy the scenery.

……

After Fang Yiai rode to the East Palace, the servant Xiao Qi also went in with You Rongyan, and was invited into the gatehouse for a cup of tea.

Fang Yiai is a guest this time, not an official of the prince.

The prince invited him, but he didn't understand.

"...Is this the newly printed book?" Fang Yiai picked out a book at random from the pile of books brought by Zhao Dezi, and the ink on it was clear and beautifully printed...

Fang Yiai continued to pick the basics again, and turned to the same page. The traces of the fonts on this "Analects of Confucius" were exactly the same, and the quality of the typesetting was also exactly the same. He couldn't help saying "good".

"Do you want to read this again?" The prince asked him to flip through another stack of books that Zhao Dezi's apprentice brought up.

"Huh, it's what you want." Fang Yiai recognized the person who moved the books before reading the book.

Xin Xin seemed to have gotten a little fairer, her honey-colored skin gleamed from the strong sun, her black hair and black eyes raised her cheeks, and she was unexpectedly charming.

Seeing this, Fang Yiai's heart skipped a beat, and she inevitably took a few extra glances.

Li Chengqian's movement of drinking tea froze, he stroked the teacup and put it down.

The corner of the prince's smiling lips was suppressed, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Fang Yiai didn't want the prince to notice that he paid special attention to this person, lest the prince pay more attention to him.

Is it really necessary to disfigure Xinxin? !

Fang Yi is tired of love.

After drinking a good bowl of tea soup, he flipped through the second stack of books, and his brows furrowed more and more.

After a while, he said, "Is this also printed with movable type? There are so many defective products?"

"—It's printing with movable type, but it's printed with 'clay type'. There are also a few books printed with pottery type, copper type...etc."

Fang Yiai heard the words and did not understand the deep meaning of the prince. Why do you print so many kinds of books? The most perfect thing he provided before was Gutenberg’s movable type printing. I believe that Li Shimin, a wise man, will use this technology to publish books from all over the world, so that more children from poor families can afford to read and buy books.

And by that time, the books sold in the bookstore will no longer be so expensive, which can only make the children of poor families and good families sigh with admiration.

——This is also beneficial to crack down on the clan forces that give the emperor a headache.

Why Emperor Sui Yang of the previous dynasty was not welcomed, and why Sui Dynasty II died, not only because of the three conquests of Goguryeo and the construction of the Grand Canal, but also because of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty, who fully supported the imperial examination system and attacked the elites. The reason.

The aristocratic family is not stupid. Everyone can see the emperor's intentions, so they naturally unite to resist, and take advantage of the emperor Yang Guang's impatience to make trouble, the world is in chaos, and this is how the world of Li Tang came into being. .

Fang Yiai thought a lot for a while, and the prince explained to him at this time.

Zhao Dezi waved back and left, and took a peek at Fang Yiai before she left, but Fang Yiai didn't notice it, but the prince moved his eyelids.

Li Chengqian explained why he used different printing techniques and printed several books.

After Fang Yiai heard this, she gave His Highness a doggy look, gave her a thumbs up, poured a glass of sake for the Prince, and said to the Prince, "Your Highness is wise!"

Li Chengqian glanced at him, "I thought you would have a better suggestion?"

"Really not, once His Highness's plan comes out, King Wei will definitely suffer from being dumb." Fang Yiai smiled.

"Hmph, you're too modest. Du He praised your 'strategy' last time, but Yu Zhining has restrained himself a lot recently."

Last time, Fang Yiai was able to drive Zhang Xuansu away just by counting people's hearts. Yu Zhining was deliberately stayed by Li Chengqian in order to control him.

Otherwise, the saint would not let Fang Yiai suddenly be promoted to the crown prince James. Although the prince James is not as powerful, his rank is not lower than the left and right servants. He is noble and conspicuous. Of course, the premise is that he will be able to Succeeded smoothly and became emperor.

But Fang Yiai is really not self-effacing, he has always been a "frank and open" gentleman in his heart, and he is very bad at scheming and other things.

Fang Yiai opened his mouth, but the prince decided so, after thinking about it, Fang Yiai could only acquiesce. "Your Highness, I think the same way today. We heroes see the same thing, a little bit the same."

Li Chengqian smiled.

The emperor was very happy when the Tai Chi Hall came up in the morning.

After dealing with the courtiers' complaints, Li Shimin took a book and flipped through it in his hand.

The courtiers down there don't know, so only a few people know what it is

The corners of Wei Wang Li Tai's lips curled up into a smile, his eyes flashed eagerly, he restrained himself, coughed, and gave someone a wink.

The crown prince's position was slightly higher than the crowd, below the emperor, and he paid special attention to Li Tai's movements.

He snorted coldly in his heart, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

When the emperor talked about printing, all the courtiers below were in an uproar, and then they all praised.

At this time, the censor who received the color of the king of Wei suddenly jumped out and said: "This movable type printing technique was also studied by talented people in the Literature Museum of the Wei Wangfu a long time ago, and this is the book printed by 'movable type'. "

After all, he took out a book from his sleeve and passed it on to everyone——

Sure enough, the characters and ink marks on it were not very clear.

"...Although this thing has some uses, the printing effect is not good. It is easy to misprint and stain, and some pages are not very clear, and it is easy to misrepresent the words of the saints. It is really not advisable, and it is not suitable. Another courtier came out and said, this person is also from the Literature Museum, what he said was plausible and logical, as if he had seen such things as movable type printing in the palace of Wei Wang.

Li Shimin frowned.

Li Tai looked serious, but actually pursed his lower lip to suppress his mood.

He looked at the prince, but the prince returned him with a sneer, completely calm.

Li Tai was puzzled, but his intuition was not good.

Sure enough, the prince came out and asked the emperor to let the courtiers read the books presented by the East Palace.

Soon everyone had a copy, but after looking through it, it was not as described by the civil servants of King Wei's sect, but surprisingly exquisite, comparable to engraved books.

"This book, gentlemen, do you know how much the price is?" the prince asked.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Prince, hurry up and say, I asked you before, but you kept it hidden."

Li Chengqian nodded and said:

The books produced by "the 'lead movable type printing' in the Eastern Palace are only one-tenth of the engraved books, which are cheaper, and the production time is shorter. If they are printed in large quantities, and the typewriters are skilled, the printing speed will be faster.Moreover, the wear and tear of each set of 'machinery' is better than expected, and it can be used repeatedly for a long time. I am afraid it is more durable than the 'movable type printing' of Shiro's Weiwangfu Literature Museum. "

There was no lack of irony in the prince's last sentence.

Although Li Tai knew well that he didn't have any printing skills at all, he was very angry and ashamed.

Not to mention the two court officials who jumped out at this time, everyone glanced at them with half-smiles, and then circulated the book of movable type that praised the prince——

……

"Your Highness is really a master of chess, haha!" Du He went to the court on purpose today. As the Duke of Xiangyang, he is qualified to be in the court, but usually he is too lazy to go, and when he goes, he just stands at the end and listens to everyone Spit flying everywhere, nothing to do with him.If something happens, it is also used as a negative foil.

But today, he deliberately went to see this situation.

The Prince's intentions were not hidden from him and Fang Yi'ai. Fang Yi'ai has no official position now, and she is still introspecting at home. Naturally, she will not follow Du He to the Tai Chi Hall.

At this time, Du He specially focused on describing the ugly faces of King Wei and his disciples in front of Fang Yiai——

"Fang Er, you don't know...then...the king of Wei at that time..."

Fang Yiai picked out her ears, "Okay, it's not over yet. Look at your joy, it's all thanks to the prince's wisdom. Of course, I have a share of the credit here, but what is your business?"

After saying this, Fang Yiai smiled triumphantly, patted Du He earnestly and said, "Look, I have made contributions to the crown prince and benefited the world's scholars! You... have to do something too, don't be such a fool Ah. In life, there is still a goal.”

"I have a goal." Du He wondered.

Fang Yiai looked at him. "What is your goal?" He really didn't know when Du He had his "ambition".

"My goal is to rely on the prince." Du He was confident.

Fang Yiai was speechless.

very good, very powerful.

If he hadn't been involved now, Du He would definitely "dedicate himself" to this goal in the future.

Li Chengqian was too busy to come back, Zhao Dezi went to find someone, Du He made fun of the maid in the East Palace, Fang Yiai walked out bored, but saw Yixin sweeping the floor outside.

"Xingxin, is this job Zhao Dezi arranged for you?" Fang Yiai frowned.

"Master, I greet you from Xinxin." Fang Yiai in Xinxin's heart is his martial arts master, the real master.As for Zhao Dezi's master, he was recognized by the eunuchs in the palace for the sake of old age, not to mention that Zhao Dezi also has an apprentice named Ruyi, who has been ostracized recently.

Fang Yiai waits for Yingxin to answer, but Yingxin is very cautious and does not want to reveal anything.

"I know it even if you don't tell me, the tea is cold when people leave. After I leave, you must be wronged in the East Palace." Fang Yiai said compassionately, looking at him as if he was looking at someone.

I don't understand, and I don't want to know.

He just needs to understand that Fang Yiai "awakened" himself and let him understand the purpose of life——

"Master, you don't have to worry about Xinxin. It is the dream of so many young eunuchs in the Eastern Palace that I do sweeping in the courtyard of His Highness the Crown Prince. Besides, Master Zhao treats me well." Xinxin said with a smile.

He originally had a pretty face, but when his wife left, the summer was over, not to mention he didn't have time to practice at noon, so naturally his skin gradually became paler day by day, and his honey-colored skin was even more attractive than when he was white Attention, it is the beauty that is extremely healthy, and the indistinguishable face that suits you, has a unique charm.

Under the golden sunset light, the fine hairs on the edges of Xin Xin's face were shimmering in a golden halo, very soft and graceful.

Fang Yiai stared blankly——

...Even the crown prince was standing behind him at this moment, but he didn't even come to his senses.
