Chapter 139: Enlightening Li Tai
Facing Li Shimin's questioning, Li Junxian replied: "I have already sent someone to investigate, presumably there will be news in the near future, but the last general heard that the people of Fang Xiang's family went to find Li Zhengyin." ”
Li Shimin nodded slightly, "Go and summon the prime minister." ”
Fang Xuanling was sitting at home, and the books at home had been rubbed into paper books.
The handwriting on each rubbed book is very neat.
It's also pleasing to the eye, and it's a lot lighter.
I received a report from my family that it was summoned by Li Shimin.
Fang Xuanling got up and went to the palace.
Coming to Li Shimin's face, Fang Xuanling bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty." ”
Li Shimin asked in a low voice: "Xuan Ling, you have asked Li Zheng to print books." ”
"That's true."
Fang Xuanling replied truthfully, looking at Li Shimin's somewhat unhappy face and said, "But at that time, Li Zheng told the old man that he wanted business to support his small business. ”
"Small business?"
"Yes, he's talking about small business."
Li Shimin looked out the window depressedly, "The whole Chang'an is about to be stirred by him, and he still runs a small business?" This Li Zhengke really has the face to say. ”
Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "Li Zheng has always been like this, as far as his Jingyang County is concerned, it is also the richest county in Chang'an, and he keeps saying that he is poor. ”
Li Shimin held his forehead, "The entire Chang'an scholars have run to Jingyang, and Li Zheng can print so many books." ”
Recalling the previous visit to Li Zhengyin's study, Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, in fact, I wanted to tell Your Majesty about this matter, but there have been too many things in the DPRK and China recently. ”
Li Shimin nodded.
Fang Xuanling said: "Li Zheng's printing workshop uses a method called movable type printing, and printing hundreds of copies of Dream of Red Mansions a day should not be a big problem. ”
Picking up the Dream of Red Mansions in his hand, Li Shimin said suspiciously: "Such a thick paper book? ”
"Not only is it cheap, but it's also very fast."
Li Junxian came to report and said, "Your Majesty, Li Zheng has already printed 500 volumes in one day. ”
"Five Hundred ......"
Li Shimin was quiet for a long time, then turned around and rummaged through the pieces sent these days, remember the pieces that Li Zheng sent to do business with me? Where did it go!
Jingyang Village is busy.
Li Zheng looked at the lively scene in front of him and played cards happily, and sat with Li Chongyi and Li Tai.
Li Tai whispered: "Li Zheng, your Dream of Red Mansions has caused a lot of waves in the court. ”
"I know." Li Zheng played a card.
Li Chongyi also played a card, "You don't seem to care at all." ”
As long as Dream of Red Mansions and the Legend of the White Snake can cause a sensation in Chang'an, of course, Li Zheng cares about these, printing books and selling books are two different things.
Li Zheng sighed and said: "Actually, I am a book printer, I am ashamed to say that I did not write the Legend of the White Snake and Dream of Red Mansions." ”
Of course, Li Tai doesn't think so in his heart, even if Li Zheng doesn't admit it now, people in Chang'an think that these two books are from Li Zheng's hand.
Even Kong Yingda, who is well-read, has never heard of the story of the Legend of the White Snake and the Dream of Red Mansions.
If you want to say that this story was not written by Li Zheng, who will believe it when you say it.
"When does His Royal Highness King Wei plan to repay my money."
An abrupt sentence interrupted Li Tai's thoughts.
Coughing twice, Li Tai said: "Let's play cards well, what do you say about this?" ”
Li Zheng shot a bomb and said, "His Royal Highness King Wei, do you know? ”
Li Tai: "What do you know?" ”
Li Zheng sighed and said: "Once upon a time, there was a person who owed me money and didn't pay it back. ”
Li Tai: "What happened later? ”
"Then the man died."
Li Taiwei laughed a few times, "Don't worry, my father hasn't recovered my use yet, and he will pay you back when he recovers my use." ”
Li Zheng looked up to the sky again and sighed, "His Royal Highness King Wei not only came to my house to eat and drink for so many days, but also owed money and did not pay it back, what is wrong with this world." ”
Seeing Li Tai looking at him with a resentful expression, Li Zheng hurriedly said, "Just kidding, just kidding." ”
Holding the playing cards made of bamboo chips in his hand, Li Tai whispered: "Li Zheng, you will make a fortune, people like you will make a fortune one day." ”
"Lend you good words."
Li Chongyi listened to the conversation between the two and interjected: "Recently, His Royal Highness the King of Wei has become majestic in the court, and Tang Jian knelt on the spot. ”
Tang Jian? In other words, this Tang Jian can be regarded as a capable person, and he made contributions when he was in the Weishui Alliance.
This person was quite famous when Li Yuan Jinyang raised troops. Until now, this person is not very good at talking, and he is not very well treated by Li Shimin.
As a result, even if this person was ranked as one of the twelve meritorious heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in the future, he would not be treated much by Li Shimin until he died.
Li Tai waved his hand and said, "Actually, it's nothing, I just said it according to Li Zheng." ”
“……”
"Li Zheng, what are you doing looking at me like this?"
With a long sigh, he patted Li Tai on the shoulder, and Li Zheng said, "His Royal Highness King Wei, you are playing with fire." ”
"What do you mean?"
Shaking the pu fan in his hand, Li Zheng said: "You are the king of Wei, and you are not the prince, what will the prince think if you are so in the limelight?" What would your father think? ”
Hearing Li Zheng say this, Li Tai's expression also became nervous.
According to Li Tai's IQ, he will not fail to understand what he means.
The affairs between the princes are in a sense royal family affairs.
If only Li Tai could understand what he meant.
If this little fat man can't understand, I'm afraid he will become someone else's target.
Sometimes pretending to be a grandchild is not a bad thing.
After Li Tai calmed down, he said, "Li Zheng, you mean I shouldn't be so showy. ”
"Originally, the matter between your princes is a royal family matter, and I shouldn't get involved,"
Looking at Li Zheng's unfathomable expression, could it be that Li Zheng wanted to point himself?
Li Tai listened intently.
"His Royal Highness King Wei, it's good that you can live well, but if you become a victim of other people's power struggles and die young, who will pay me back."
“……”
Li Tai stood up and pointed at Li Zheng and said, "So you're still in it for the money." ”
"People die for money, birds die for food." Li Zheng is serious.
Feeling that he is so well-intentioned in the court, is it not worth his Li Zheng's money?
Sitting on the side, Li Tai asked again: "You said that I can't be so showy, what should I do?" ”
"Do you know why your father asked you to go to the court to listen to the government?"
"Why?"
"Checks and balances! Your father uses you to check and balance the current crown prince, you are just a target erected by your father, you seem to be in the limelight when you do this, but in fact, you have fallen into the trap of your father. ”
