Chapter 16: Drag Away
The guards outside the Ganlu Hall dragged away the little eunuch who made a mistake.
Li Zhi stepped forward and said: "Father, my son is willing to copy the historical records a thousand times, and complete it within five days!" I just begged my father to spare them the capital crime, after all, it was the sons who forced them out of the palace, and the sons didn't want to indirectly kill two lives! ”
"Father, please permission!"
"What did you say?"
"You are going to copy the annals a thousand times in five days?" Li Shimin seemed to have heard a big joke.
There are a total of 130 historical records, more than 500,000 words!
Thousands of years of history have been recorded.
It will take years to fully understand this.
He punished Li Zhi to copy the historical records 500 times, with the intention of embarrassment, and restrained him with this, so that he had no extra time to be naughty.
But I didn't expect it.
Li Zhi is so ruthless!
I had to write it a thousand times, and I was ashamed to say that it would be done in five days!
How is this possible?
"Wait......." Li Shimin shouted outside the door, and the guards who were escorting the little eunuch about to be executed stopped.
Li Shimin said: "Zhi'er, do you know the crime of bullying the king?" If you can't complete the transcription a thousand times in five days, your father will punish you heavily! ”
"Erchen knows...... Please allow your father! ”
Li Zhi was full of confidence and seemed to have a way.
Empress Eldest Sun was shocked: "Your Majesty, Tong Yan is unscrupulous, Zhi'er is joking with you!" ”
"Really?"
Li Shimin didn't believe it either, but he was a little curious about why Li Zhi had such a request.
And he thinks that Li Zhi is smart, maybe there is really some way.
"Queen Mother, Erchen didn't say a joke!" Li Zhi patted his chest and said: "What others can't do doesn't mean I can't do it too!" Didn't my father say, I'm a genius, a genius should be able to do what others can't! ”
"Good!"
Li Shimin's ghost envoy agreed to Li Zhi's request.
He wants to see what Li Zhi can do!
"Take those two little eunuchs to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and suspend the execution!"
"Yes!"
The little eunuch was taken away.
The atmosphere at the scene did not ease down, and it was still in a very tense state.
Empress Changsun had a sad face: "How is it possible to copy the historical records a thousand times in five days?" ”
Don't say it a thousand times, being able to transcribe it once is already extremely fast!
She couldn't understand, why did Li Zhi take the initiative to ask for this?
"Don't worry, the queen mother, the sons can do it!"
"Can you do it? That's weird! Empress Changsun didn't even believe a punctuation mark, walked up to Li Shimin, and pleaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you know that Zhi'er has always been naughty, and what he said is not true!" ”
……
Li Shimin has his own considerations.
He wanted to take this opportunity to educate Li Zhi not to be a person who made light promises, since he promised to do it, he must do it. Don't make promises lightly for the sake of immediate gain.
"Queen, I know it in my heart, you don't have to say much!"
"Yes!"
Catching up with Li Shimin's stern gaze, Empress Eldest Sun couldn't say anything more.
Then.
Luo Tong, who was standing behind Li Zhi, attracted Li Shimin's attention.
"Zhi'er, who is this?"
"His name is Luo Tong, and he specially protects his sons when they return to the palace!"
Rotong?
Li Shimin feels that this name is so familiar!
Seems to have heard it somewhere!
But he just can't remember!
It's no wonder that Li Shimin, there are too many princes and marquis in the Tang Dynasty, and there are countless young talents. Luo Tong's father, Luo Cheng, died early and did not show up in the court, how could Li Shimin think of the son of the deceased?
Luo Tong knelt down excitedly and said: "Luo Tong, the Duke of Yueguo, knock on the emperor, long live my emperor!" ”
"Oh...... Are you Luo Cheng's son? ”
"Yes!"
"No wonder I think you're familiar, nephew Xian, hurry up!" Li Shimin stretched out his hand to help Luo Tong, and couldn't help but think of his brother Luo Cheng, who was kind-hearted in the past.
If Luo Luo became his charge, the Tang Dynasty's country would not be so easy to stabilize.
"Emperor Xie!"
"Are you in the job now?"
"Back to the emperor, not yet. But a few days ago, General Cheng came to me and asked me to protect His Royal Highness King Jin! ”
Li Shimin nodded: "Since General Cheng chose you, it means that you have something extraordinary." I have appointed you as the commander of the guards of the Lizheng Palace! In the future, you will be responsible for protecting King Jin! ”
"Obey the order!"
Luo Tong was happy and surprised.
Li Shimin really rewarded him and made him an official. You must know that he is only twelve years old, and he is not yet qualified to enter the office. Li Shimin was unexpectedly promoted. Of course, there is Cheng Biting Jin's recommendation, but it is also inseparable from his father's past achievements.
"It's getting late, you all go back! Zhi'er, don't forget what you promised your father, you will copy the historical records a thousand times in five days! ”
"Father, rest assured, the sons will not forget!"
Li Zhi is still full of confidence.
……
……
Rei main hall.
Just came back.
Empress Changsun called Li Zhi to the living room: "Zhi'er, how many historical records do you know?" How many words? ”
"I don't know the specifics, there should be more than a hundred, right?"
"One hundred and thirty articles, five hundred and twenty thousand words! Not to mention that you copy it alone, even if it is a thousand people, it is impossible to complete it in five days! ”
"Hehe......." Li Zhi smiled and shook his head.
Since he dared to agree to Li Shimin, how could he have no choice?
Isn't it just hundreds of thousands of words?
For others, it can be hard!
But for him, it's as easy as digging for something!
"Queen Mother, would I like to borrow a few people from you? I need them to do something for me! But don't worry, I won't let them copy the historical records for me, but I have other things for them to do! ”
"Something else?"
"Queen Mother, don't ask, do you believe that your son can do it once?" Li Zhi shook her arm: "Erchen promises not to do bad things!" I won't leave the house! ”
Anyway, it's in the house, so it's okay to send someone to play with Li Zhi.
Empress Eldest Sun didn't take it to heart: "You can do whatever you like, as long as you don't leave the house......." ”
"Thank you!"
With the support of Empress Changsun, Li Zhi can do whatever he wants in the Lizheng Palace.
That same evening.
He took the guards of the Li Zheng Hall and cleaned the backyard.
Use this as a place to 'copy the annals'!
"Do we have clean planks in our house?"
"Back to Your Highness, I repaired the garden a few days ago, and there were some planks in the corner of the back garden!" One of the guards said.
"Go get it!"
"Yes!"
Li Zhi took the guards and worked until midnight, and asked Luo Tong to guard the backyard and not let people in.
"King Jin, what are you going to do? Are these planks that important? Luo Tong was very puzzled. Just guarding some planks feels pointless.
He couldn't see what the planks were for.
"You'll find out in a few days...... I'm high-tech! "Li Zhi sold a pass, and the mysterious way of God.
……
As many as hundreds of thousands of words of historical records, even if Li Zhi had a thousand hands, he couldn't write them. Only by creating movable type printing can this task be accomplished in a very short time.
