Chapter 25

Li Zhi returned to the palace from Qin Huaidao's house, he was very lonely and unwilling, he knew that Li Shimin was most afraid of the gate valve family, and at the same time, their Li family was also a gate valve family.

But now that Datang has so many gate valve families, they can directly threaten the safety of his Li family's throne, so the gate valve family is Li Shimin's confidant.

In Li Zhi's view, if there is paper, there are books, and if there are books, the children of the poor families in the world will be able to study, participate in the imperial examination, enter the court as officials, and change the current officials of the Tang Dynasty.

After Li Zhi returned to the palace, he sat on the tea set, drinking tea, and thinking about this matter, that is, Li Shimin came in, and he didn't find out.

"What do you want?" Li Shimin saw that Li Zhi was sitting there very lonely, a little strange, so he asked.

"Ah, father, the son has seen his father!" Li Zhi heard Li Shimin's voice, looked up, and found that Li Shimin was already standing next to him, so he quickly stood up, saluted and said.

"Pingshen, what's wrong, is you sick?" Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi worriedly and asked.

"No, Erchen is just thinking about something!" Li Zhi stood up and shook his head and said,

Li Shimin nodded, then took the notebook next to him, and looked at it, he knew that Li Zhi had gone to the Boping Mansion in the past few days, and every night, Li Shimin would come over to check Li Zhi's notes,

At this moment, Li Shimin attaches great importance to what Qin Huaidao said, and he also wants to know how Li Zhi will break the situation in the next part of the imperial examination.

Li Shimin has always wanted to change this situation, and he hopes to find a solution from Qin Huaidao's conversation.

Li Shimin didn't care about Li Zhi, but took the notebook recorded by Li Zhi, looked at it carefully, and after reading it, Li Shimin raised his head and looked at Li Zhi who was sitting there drinking tea, and found that Li Zhi fell into contemplation again.

"Child, why is it that when it comes to writing paper, there is no more? You're going to talk about it tomorrow? Li Shimin asked Li Zhi.

"Huh? Oh! Talking about it, paper is the key to restricting the imperial examination, and the key to it is the innovation of craftsmen and the innovation of paper! Li Zhi looked up at Li Shimin and replied, and at the same time refilled Li Shimin's tea.

"I know, this assertion is right, every day is bustling for profit, the world is all for profit, for the people at the bottom, there is no benefit, they will not do things, of course, for the court, the same!" Li Shimin nodded and agreed with Qin Huaidao's statement.

"yes, but, hey!" Li Zhi sat there and said with a sigh.

"Child, I see that you have a mind, what's wrong?" When Li Shimin saw Li Zhi like this, he naturally knew that Li Zhi's mood was a little wrong, and there must be something wrong, so he put down his notebook, stared at Li Zhi and asked.

"Father, I, hey!" Li Zhi's words came to his lips, but he still didn't say it, he didn't want to betray Qin Huaidao,

Qin Huaidao has already given him an affirmative answer today, that is, paper, cheap paper, he can get it, but he doesn't dare to release it, if he says it himself, it will be betraying Qin Huaidao, Qin Huaidao regards himself as a good brother!

But Li Zhi also knows very well that the scholars of the Tang Dynasty need paper, the Tang Dynasty also needs the children of the poor family to enrich it, and the Tang Dynasty also needs to eliminate the influence of those families, and paper is the key.

"What's the matter, you say, why do you have to be a daughter?" When Li Shimin saw Li Zhi like this, he immediately stared at him and said.

"Father, there is something unclear about the son, please answer the father!" Li Zhi stood up at this moment and asked Li Shimin.

"You say!" Li Shimin nodded and looked at Li Zhi.

"Father, if there is one thing that is related to the children of the poor families in the world and the country of my Tang Dynasty, but this matter involves the safety of my best friend, should the sons and daughters say it or not?" Li Zhi stood there and asked respectfully at Li Shimin.

"Is it related to the safety of my Datang?" Li Shimin heard it and squinted at Li Zhi.

"Not the kind of direct safety, but indirect effects!" Li Zhi hurriedly explained to Li Shimin.

"Oh, what did Pepin say again, you didn't record it?" As soon as Li Shimin heard it, he knew that Li Zhi was talking about Qin Huaidao, so he asked directly.

"Father, answer my question first!" Li Zhi stood there, still arching his hands, hoping that Li Shimin would give him an answer, because he was also hesitant now.

"Then it depends on what happens, it is related to Pepin's safety, I thought, as long as he doesn't rebel, no one should be able to kill him, right? I'm still here! Li Shimin sat there and spoke.

"That being said, but, father, will you really protect him?" Li Zhi then boldly looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"Huh?" Li Shimin stared at Li Zhi coldly at the moment, and what he asked was a bit behind it.

Li Shimin heard it and was very unhappy.

"Don't misunderstand, father, this matter is very important, I asked, father, can you protect his safety?

He has a lot of scruples now, so, I am hesitant about this matter now, I don't know if I want to tell you to my father, don't say it, I'm sorry for my identity as a royal child, I'm sorry for my identity as your son, and I'm sorry for my identity as a scholar.

It can be said that Erchen is sorry for Peping, and even trapped Peping at a disadvantage, so Erchen is very distressed now! Li Zhi stood there, arched his hand at Li Shimin, and said with a very painful expression.

"What is it that makes you so embarrassed?" Li Shimin is also curious, is there such a major matter? Why don't you know?

"Father, son, son, son can't say yet! Ask the father to answer the son's question, if the son says, can the father protect Peping's thoughtfulness?

Erchen agreed to Peping, and also understood Peping's scruples, if there is no strong support, this matter is said to be tantamount to making Peping undoomed! Li Zhi still didn't let go, he still felt that he couldn't be sorry for Qin Huaidao.

Li Shimin sat there, looking at Li Zhi tightly, thinking in his mind, what is the matter, why is it so important, thinking about what Li Zhi said just now, for the sake of the world's poor scholars, he couldn't help blurting out: "Paper, Peping got the paper?" ”

"Huh?" Li Zhi heard it and looked at Li Shimin in shock.

"Is it true, did Pepin really get the paper?" Li Shimin stared at Li Zhi tightly and asked,

Li Zhi didn't dare to answer, he was still very hesitant now.

Li Shimin took a deep breath, then looked at Li Zhi and said: "If Boping gets out of the paper, I will definitely protect him, young slave, if this is the case, you are right, the gate valve family is too threatening to us, if we can't eliminate the influence of the family on the court, our Datang will be unstable after all, so, this matter, you need to tell the truth to your father!" ”

Li Zhi heard it and was still thinking there, but he also knew that he couldn't hide it now, and Li Shimin had already guessed it.

"Childish slave, Pepin is cautious, his father knows, he doesn't dare to release it, there is a reason for him, he is afraid, and he is right,

But my father can give him this promise, as long as he can get paper, then I will guarantee him peace for the rest of his life! Li Shimin continued to persuade Li Zhi to say, he hoped that Li Zhi could tell him the truth, instead of hiding it.

Li Zhi thought about it for a while, and knew that he couldn't hide it, so he could only sigh and say: "The young slave can only do the thing of betraying his brother once, hey! ”

"This is not called selling, this paper, I have always hoped to have, yes, technological innovation, if there is innovation, a large amount of paper can be made, then, the way out of the Han scholars of the Tang Dynasty has changed!" Li Shimin persuaded Li Zhi,

Li Zhi nodded, of course he knew this, so he was also hesitating, otherwise, he would have helped Qin Huaidao hide this secret.

"Father, Qin Huaidao told me that he can figure it out, this is very certain, but the sons just don't know, if the father asks, will he still say that?

After all, we don't see this kind of paper now! It can only be said that he has the ability to make it! Li Zhi plucked up his courage, looked at Li Shimin and said,

Li Shimin heard it, nodded, and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"Huh?" Li Zhi heard it and was stunned for a moment,

And the old eunuch in the back immediately came over, bowed his head and responded: "The time has just passed, and it is already the time of the unitary!" ”

"Well, come on!" Li Shimin thought about it, it was still early, and he was able to go to Qin Huaidao's mansion.

"Yes!" Two guards came in at the door.

"Call Cheng Chuhei to come here!" Li Shimin said to the guards at the door, and the guards immediately came out.

After a while, Cheng Chuhei came in and knocked on Li Shimin, not knowing what Li Shimin was looking for at this time.

"Go and inform Fang Xiang, Wei Guogong, Eguo Gong, Xun Guogong, Bao Guogong, Kui Guogong, and British Gong to go to Yiguo Gong Qin Huaidao together, if they arrive first, they will be outside Zhenzhen! Don't go and inform Pepin in advance! Li Shimin stood there and said with his hands behind his back.

"Ah, Your Majesty? Out at this time? Still going to Pepin's side? ”

"Don't ask so much, go quickly!" Li Shimin saw that Cheng Zhisi wanted to inquire, and immediately stared at Cheng Zhisi and whispered.

"Yes, the minister will send someone to inform you immediately!" Cheng Chuhei bowed his head and withdrew, and then arranged for the guards to start to inform the mansion of those few people and let them go to Qin Huaidao's mansion.

In my heart, I couldn't help but worry, why something happened again, I haven't heard any rumors outside recently, and Qin Huaidao basically doesn't leave the house, just listening to Li Shimin's tone, it's not very good.

"What can I do?" Cheng Chuhei was anxiously waiting outside, waiting for Li Shimin to leave the palace.
