"Three hours is a bit too long, so you might as well pick two helpers. As long as you name the Manchu Dynasty, I can let him help. Li Shimin opened his mouth and said to Kong Huiyuan.

As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, Kong Yingda stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Kong Huiyuan is the grandson of the minister, and the minister is counted as one." After Kong Yingda finished speaking, he came to Kong Huiyuan's side.

At this time, Cheng Yanjin also said loudly: "I can't trust other people, don't secretly make trouble at that time, I will lose unjustly." So I'm also counted as one. ”

"Then there will be Grandpa Lao and Lu Guogong." Kong Huiyuan said respectfully to Kong Yingda and Cheng Yanjin.

Then Kong Huiyuan asked Li Shimin to start the timer, and then he began to get busy. first briefly explained to Kong Yingda and Cheng Yanjin.

Then he opened the two wooden boxes next to him, and then began to skillfully select the required words. handed them over to Kong Yingda one by one in order.

According to Kong Huiyuan's explanation, Kong Yingda placed each one neatly according to its position. And Cheng Yanjin was also busy on the side. It's just some hard work.

It took less than half an hour to finally complete the typesetting. It was not a problem to complete the typesetting and printing, and it was not long before a copy of the Tao Te Ching appeared in Kong Huiyuan's hands.

And the time has only passed for more than half an hour, and there is still a big distance from the hour that Kong Huiyuan said. This couldn't help but make Cheng Yanjin smile.

personally took the Tao Te Ching and handed it to Li Shimin, and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, you have to give Cheng Yanjin the decision this time." If the eldest grandson Wuji is cheating, my old Cheng can say nothing and don't do anything. ”

"Don't worry, the facts are in front of you, how can the eldest grandson Aiqing not admit it." Li Shimin said to Cheng Yanjin with a smile on his face.

Li Shimin has already said it, and the eldest grandson Wuji naturally does not dare to deny it anymore. Although he still wanted to say in his heart that a lot of time was wasted burning these small characters. But now he doesn't dare to say it anymore, otherwise he will really make Li Shimin furious.

"My eldest grandson is not willing to gamble and lose, and after the next dynasty, I will ask Lu Guogong and Master Kong to go to the mansion to ask for it at will." The eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth and said to Cheng Yanjin and Kong Yingda.

"Now that the outcome of the game has been decided, let's stop here for today. Kong Aiqing will take your grandson to Ganlu Hall for a trip later, and today I will set up a banquet for Kong Huiyuan. Li Shimin nodded and said.

And at this moment, the two officials who followed Li Dejian to Qizhou. Out of the class said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, we still have a few gifts from His Royal Highness King Qi to the emperor here. ”

Hearing about the gift that Li Ke brought to him, Li Shimin said: "It seems that there are a lot of surprises today, so I don't know what the King of Qi has brought to me?" ”

"This is a perfume developed by King Qi himself, and the effect of spraying on people's clothes is much better than incense." One of the accompanying officials took out his perfume and said to Li Shimin.

Another accompanying official took out a glass mirror and said to Li Shimin: "This is the mirror that His Royal Highness King Qi presented to the emperor, and this is also the painstaking development of His Royal Highness King Qi. ”

To say that these two officials are really reprehensible. deliberately emphasized in front of Li Shimin that the perfume and mirror were both developed by Li Ke. In order to make Li Shimin angry.

After all, the dignified prince of the Tang Dynasty, and now His Royal Highness King Qi, the great official of the frontier. didn't think about the military and political power in the fiefdom, but instead encouraged these women to use things. How can this not make Li Shimin angry?

As expected by the two accompanying officials, when Li Shimin learned of this, the radiant look on his face had disappeared. Instead, it was gloomy and displeasant.

So after ordering Wang De to take over the perfume and mirror, he said: "Let people pass on the message of Li Ke, the king of Qi, to report on his work in Chang'an recently." After saying that, he turned around and left the Taiji Hall.

After Li Shimin left, the Manchu civil and military also left one after another. However, at this time, Eldest Sun Wuji's face was not as ugly as it was just now.

After all, the last two accompanying officials can be regarded as pulling back a game for him. Now that Li Shimin has ordered Li Ke to return to Beijing to report on his work, it means that Li Shimin is really angry.

……

"Emperor Qiqi, Wei Xiang and Master Kong are here. Now he is waiting for the decree outside the temple of manna. Wang De opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

Hearing Wang De's words, Li Shimin put down the glass mirror he was playing with. And he said, "Let them in." ”

Wang De groaned and turned around and walked out of the Manna Palace. After a while, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, and Kong Huiyuan walked in. Of course, there are also the little eunuchs who carry movable type printing tools for them.

After the three of them entered the Ganlu Palace, they first gave Li Shimin a great courtesy. After Li Shimin ordered the three of them to be flattened, he opened his mouth and said to Kong Huiyuan: "Let's talk to me, what is the reputation of your thing." ”

Kong Huiyuan did not hide anything, but explained the situation of movable type printing to Li Shimin in detail.

"I saw you in the Taiji Hall just now, and you were very neat when you chose the words required for the Tao Te Ching. I wonder how you found the word you need among thousands of words? Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked Kong Huiyuan.

Kong Huiyuan naturally would not hide it, so he told Li Shimin in detail about the method of phonetics. And these movable types are arranged in pinyin, just like looking up a dictionary, so it is very easy to find.

Li Shimin was also interested after hearing it, so he asked Kong Huiyuan to guide him. I did a printing session myself. When Li Shimin looked at Cao Cao's view of the sea in his hand, his face was full of joy.

"Your Majesty, with this movable type printing technique. Coupled with the method of phonetic pronunciation and sentence breaking, the world's poor generals will no longer have no books to read. Wei Zheng said excitedly to Li Shimin.

"Wei Xiang is right, but I'm just a little strange now, since that kid can make such a good thing. Why don't you give it to me personally? Li Shimin said.

"The emperor really sees everything, and with the ability of his grandson Kong Huiyuan, he believes in reading and being a poet. He didn't have the ability to invent these things. ”

"But it doesn't matter if His Royal Highness the King of Qi does this, my Qufu Kong family will become the public enemy of the family." After Li Shimin finished speaking, Kong Yingda said helplessly.

"I said Master Kong, I don't know how many people in the world are willing to become the public enemy of the family for you. You have a son-in-law like His Royal Highness King Qi, it's too late to steal the fun. Wei Zheng said to Kong Yingda with a smile.

"This movable type printing was made by that kid, but these perfumes are also the boy's masterpiece. After all, this kid is still not doing his job, and it seems that I am going to beat him well. Li Shimin opened his mouth and said to Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda.
