Chapter 16: The Prince's Apprenticeship
Seeing that the purpose of this trip has been achieved, in order to shorten the distance between each other and ease the relationship, Queen Changsun began to pull Wang Jue to talk about family life.
"Mrs. Wang, what is the introductory exam question you gave to Cheng Qian? This kid has been locked up in the room all day, and he doesn't even see me. A few people around him also pricked up their ears and listened. Recently, there have been rumors in the palace that the prince is in retreat, and he doesn't know when he will become an immortal.
If the prince can solve this problem, Datang will not have to worry about the number of books and the speed of dissemination in the future. ”
Good guy! Such a big thing, people said in a homely tone, you cow, you cow, you are really good!
"If there is really a good law, can Mrs. Wang tell me one or two?" Li Shimin interjected eagerly.
"No! This is the entrance exam question of His Royal Highness the Prince, and it is inconvenient to disclose it before His Royal Highness solves the question. Li Shimin touched his nose again, he was used to it.
Seeing that Empress Changsun also showed disappointment, Wang Jue comforted: "I have already given him a hint, I believe that there will be an answer in the near future." ”
That is what you believe! The bear child of his family doesn't know if he is reliable or not! The couple stayed for a while, and then found an excuse to take someone away.
Why are you so anxious? Go back and see if the bear child has become an immortal!
It was in this situation that Li Shimin did not forget to take the ministers to Suiyuan.
Li Shimin first walked around the library, went to the rest room to drink some tea, went to the discussion room to leave a message, and deliberately used someone's toilet. When he used the toilet, he was very proud, because they didn't mention Cheng Yanjin, and he definitely didn't use it, he still knew it by listening to the eyeliner report. Later, I was a little sad, he was still squatting in the artificial pit, and these scholars could actually use flushing.
After a set of itineraries, Li Shimin finally stood still in front of Wang Baojin, and his eyes kept staring at the white paper.
"This paper is very good, I wanted to buy some and share it with everyone, but I was really shy in my pocket. Kong Yingda said this to him, and Li Shimin thought it was good, so he used it. It's a big deal to go back and give Old Man Kong a little, it's really just a little....
Several people looked at each other, but they couldn't. Everyone generously bought ten dollars of rice paper for Li Shimin.
Li Shimin happily returned to the palace, this was given to him by others, see if Wei Zheng dares to spray him!
asked the chamberlain to carry the paper back, and the couple went directly to the prince's palace.
"What about Cheng Qian?" As soon as Li Shimin entered the palace, he met the little chamberlain who was cowering last time.
"The prince is still in the room and has never come out. The chamberlain replied cautiously. Recently, he thought that he didn't know if the prince could take him with him after he became an immortal.
Li Shimin didn't let the chamberlain pass it on, and the couple walked directly into Li Chengqian's bedroom, and after seeing what Li Chengqian was doing, they were immediately furious!
What about this kid who closes the house and plays with seals by himself? If you don't think about such a big thing, you still have the heart to play with seals?!
Li Shimin went up and slapped him, rabbit cub, you don't know the priorities like this, how can Lao Tzu pass the throne to you in the future?
"Ah!!" Li Chengqian was concentrating on thinking, and his back was shocked by the iron sand palm, and he suddenly jumped up and screamed like a frightened bird.
"Daddy, I'm thinking about Mrs. Wang's exam questions. Daddy is like this, doesn't it interrupt my train of thought?"
"This is the hint given by Mrs. Wang?" asked Li Shimin, pointing to the seal in surprise. Seeing Li Chengqian nodding, he picked up the three seals on the case and carefully observed them for a long time, except for the material, he didn't see anything special.
"Keep thinking!" Li Shimin dropped a sentence and left, Li Chengqian looked at the back of his parents, wondering what these two people were here for!
"Let the chamberlain bring me three seals, and ask for bloodstones. Empress Eldest Sun pursed her lips and snickered.
Have you heard? Since the Holy Father visited the crown prince, in addition to the court, he has also begun to retreat!
Your news is outdated, I heard that the queen mother is also in retreat!
I heard that all of you are in retreat!
The so-called good at the top will be followed by the bottom. I don't know why, bloodstone seals have become popular in Chang'an recently, and you have to buy three at a time. I still don't know why, I have to play with three seals in my spare time. Followers say they just like the thrill of following the trend and don't need to know why. It's a bad thing to sell seals, and thank you Taishang Laojun for his manifestation.
"I see!" One night, a loud roar came from the prince's bedroom, ending this qiē!
Wang Jue yawned, looking at the excited people dancing in front of him, a little speechless. Even if you figure out a way, you don't have to come to the door so late, right? Isn't the city gate closed? You're so out of tune, do your parents know?
"Mrs. Wang, am I right?" Li Chengqian looked at Wang Jue expectantly, his eyes shining.
"From this day forward, you are my great disciple. This is both an exam question and an introductory gift, and since it is a method you have perfected, this method is named Chengqian movable type printing. In the future, this method will be applied and promoted, and it will not be ignored by teachers. ”
Li Chengqian looked at Wang Jue gratefully, not knowing what to say. The thing was obviously invented by the master, but half of the credit was given to him. This is an opportunity to gain the respect of scholars and leave a name in history!
Don't look at him as the crown prince, he, like his father, often can't sleep at night. Seeing his father's means of ascending to the throne, he sometimes couldn't help but wonder, would he also have such a younger brother?
For this opportunity to secure his position, he needed it so much!
"Thank you, teacher. Li Chengqian gave a great bow to Wang Jue, and there was no pretentious inference for the signing of the printing press. The masters of the ancients are different from modern teachers, and a disciple like Li Chengqian can use it for his son. If the master has no children, he will retire in the future, and those who inherit the inheritance will also be his disciples.
"We have a lot of inheritance, what do you want to learn from me?" After the ceremony was completed, Wang Jue began to cut into the famous teacher mode.
"Emperor's art. Li Chengqian looked at Wang Jue with a firm gaze.
"This book is your primer and should not be shown to others. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to come to me. Wang Jue found the first half of "Thick Black Learning" and handed it to Li Chengqian, but she hadn't finished adapting the second half.
"It's not early, you go back and rest. Wang Jue sounded a system prompt in his head, and hurriedly found a reason to send someone.
After being reminded by Wang Jue, Li Chengqian also remembered the current time. Afraid that the palace would be worried, he hurriedly took the book Wang Jue gave him and left.
After Li Chengqian left, Wang Jue hurriedly checked the system, only to see that the big screen that usually displays points reads: All items are broken to zero, and the system is fully opened. The system will issue tasks from time to time, and points will be awarded according to the completion of the task, and no points will be deducted if they are not completed.
This can make Wang Jue happy, and there is another way to earn points, and it is not dangerous. Then Wang Jue accepted Li Chengqian as an apprentice, and because of Li Chengqian's special status, the system also gave a large number of points. Looking at the speed at which the arrears are shrinking, Wang Jue is not so worried about saving his life.
"Where did you go? The whole palace was not at peace in the middle of the night!" Compared with the good luck of other masters, Li Chengqian was miserable, and he was arrested by Li Shimin as soon as he entered the palace gate.
What he didn't know was that he led people away with his front foot, and there was an inner attendant running to pass the word on his back foot, shouting as he ran: "The prince is crazy, the guards at the door can't stop him, the prince has become an immortal!" Of course, this inner servant has been sent to dig coal. It's only been a few months since the Xuanwumen Incident, and there were too many people who died that time, what crooked melons and cracked dates were left?
"I have come up with a way to print books quickly, and Mrs. Wang has taken me as an apprentice!" Li Chengqian is only eight years old after all, and he is showing off at this time, and his tail almost didn't go up to the sky!
"Tell me quickly!" Li Shimin heard the good news, and he didn't care about the prince's behavior.
Li Chengqian took out the brocade bag and poured the seal on the table: "Father, you see: this is a seal, this is also a seal." ”
"It's still a seal. Li Shimin said the next sentence for Li Chengqian. He suddenly felt itchy hands, and he had the urge to beat his son, when you are mentally retarded!
"Don't fight! It's never too late to fight after I finish speaking. ”
It's not too late, if you can't say one, two, three, four, five, Lao Tzu will send you up the mountain to fight tigers.
"Each seal counts as one character, and all the characters are engraved on a square independently, and if there is anything to be printed, the individual characters are arranged. The other content, broken up and then arranged, the words can be used repeatedly, not like an engraving, each page of content has to be re-carved. ”
"Okay!" Li Shimin was excited, so he printed an iron sand palm on his son's back.
The Tang Dynasty's dependence on the family is too heavy, and the clans occupy a large area of land in the local area and have extraordinary influence, which Li Shimin cannot tolerate. The existence of the family has become a thorn in his throat. Now that there is an opportunity to disintegrate the enemy at the root, how can he not be happy!
Empress Eldest Sun, who had been watching from the side, was also very happy, but she paid more attention to details than the father and son; "Is Cheng Qian so empty-handed in the middle of the night to find Wang Niangzi to apprentice?"
Forehead... , Li Chengqian was dumbfounded, Li Shimin also felt rude when he looked back, and raised his leg to give his son another shadowless kick.
No matter what time it was, the three of them couldn't sleep with excitement anyway, so they prepared to apprentice overnight.
Besides, the ministers of the family who accompanied them that day, after they returned to the city from Nanshan, they began to deliver news to all parts of Datang. In line with the idea of believing what they have, people from all walks of life hurried to their hometowns! This is not a trivial matter!
Since Wang Jue mastered the news of the new printing technology, it has spread in a small area. The people stationed in Chang'an from various families began to pay attention to Wang Jue's movements.
Suiyuan is becoming more and more lively, not only scholars, but also spies from all walks of life. In order to be able to see Wang Jue and explore the reality in person, they can be regarded as all kinds of schemes.
There were many readers who were reading in Suiyuan before, and they all sent letters to their friends. All these things add up, and a large number of people have come to Nanshan from all over the world.
The storm is coming!
