Kong Yingda's words can be regarded as agreeing to the gambling contract of the eldest grandson Wuji in disguise, which can't help but make the eldest grandson Wuji's face smile.

After all, even if you are a calligrapher in this world, you want to transcribe a book of Analects in the time of a stick of incense. That's impossible.

Seeing that the gambling contract had been finalized, Li Shimin said: "I wonder if anyone is still interested in placing a bet in this gambling contract?" ”

The gambling contract made by these people is really not something that ordinary people dare to participate in. Especially the demon king of the mixed world, Cheng Biting Jin is there, who wants to join in the fun.

Seeing that no one was willing to participate in it anymore, Li Shimin said to Kong Huiyuan: "Then you can prepare, and you are ready to order people to light incense." ”

After Kong Huiyuan nodded, he took the movable type printing plate he brought from the hands of the forbidden army. And said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, can you prepare some blank paper, paper knives and cotton thread for the students." ”

The few things that Kong Huiyuan wanted made Li Shimin feel a little puzzled. It's normal to ask for white paper, but Kong Huiyuan doesn't want pen and ink but asks for a knife and cotton thread, which is a little too much.

However, since Kong Huiyuan spoke, Li Shimin ordered Wang De to prepare. After a while, Kong Huiyuan took everything he needed.

After checking that there was nothing missing, Kong Huiyuan opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, you can order someone to light incense." ”

Li Shimin nodded, and ordered Wang De to light a stick of incense and insert it in the incense burner. And said to Kong Huiyuan: "There is only time for a stick of incense, I hope you can surprise me." ”

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Kong Huiyuan became busy. The ink is evenly brushed on top of the plate, and then the white paper is spread on top of it. After some beating, a blank piece of paper full of words appeared in Kong Huiyuan's hand.

The incense in front of Li Shimin was only less than half burned, and Kong Huiyuan had already finished printing the Analects. And Kong Huiyuan was not ready to stop there.

Instead, use the paper cutter next to you and start cutting the sheets of paper to a normal size. Then he used the punch developed by Li Ke for him to make the same holes in all the papers.

Then they were bound with cotton thread, and a copy of the Analects appeared in Kong Huiyuan's hands. And when Kong Huiyuan completed all this, 1/4 of the incense in front of Li Shimin had not been burned.

Kong Huiyuan held the Analects he had printed with both hands, and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the students have completed the transcription of the Analects. And also bound it into a book. Please ask the emperor to take a look. ”

Li Shimin ordered Wang De to take the Analects in Kong Huiyuan's hand, and when he opened it, he couldn't help but surprise Li Shimin.

The font of the entire Analect is the same, and the standard regular script is used. Coupled with the use of sentence break symbols, the whole Analect becomes coherent. It's a pleasure to read.

After reading it, Li Shimin actually came directly to Kong Huiyuan and carefully looked at the printing plate in front of Kong Huiyuan. Then he laughed and said, "Kong Aiqing, you really gave birth to a good grandson." ”

Kong Yingda's face was also full of smiles at this time, after all, his grandson showed his face in the Taiji Palace. Naturally, I feel honored to be a grandfather.

At this time, Cheng Yanjin laughed and said, "I said eldest grandson Wuji, when are you going to let me go to your house in the old city to get something?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji did not pay attention to Cheng Biting Jin, but opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, this Kong Huiyuan criminal bullied the king, please ask the emperor to order him to be beheaded." ”

Hearing the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Cheng Biting Jin Ke quit. Before Li Shimin could say anything, he said loudly: "I said that the eldest grandson Wuji, no matter how you say it, you are also an important minister in the court." How can you do such a shameless thing? ”

"Cheng bites Jin, Hugh spews blood there. The official said that Kong Huiyuan was a criminal and deceived the king, of course, it was not empty words. Now that the evidence is there, you will not be allowed to defend it. The eldest grandson Wuji said to Cheng Yanjin.

"Where is the evidence of the crime, why didn't Cheng Yanjin see it? Could it be that the Manchu Dynasty was blind and civil? Cheng Yanjin asked the eldest grandson Wuji.

This Kong Huiyuan claimed to have copied a book of Analects within a stick of incense, but he did not copy it with a pen. Isn't that what the crime of deceitful is? Eldest Sun Wuji asked.

"Lord Changsun, the student said to transcribe a book of Analects within a stick of incense. But when did you say that you were going to copy word by word with a pen? Kong Huiyuan opened his mouth and asked the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Hahaha, even if you are clever, it is difficult to deny. Even if you have just completed a Analect within a stick of incense. But it should take no less than months to engrave this plate, right? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji asked Kong Huiyuan with a smile on his face.

The words of the eldest grandson Wuji made the important ministers in the court whisper. Because they, like the eldest grandson Wuji, feel that engraving and printing plates can never be completed in a short time.

"It seems that Lord Eldest Sun is unwilling to admit defeat, so why don't we compete again? If the student is lucky enough to win again, I hope that the eldest grandson will apologize to the student on the spot. Kong Huiyuan glared at the eldest grandson Wuji and said.

"It's really terrifying, this old statue is really in place. Although we won a game, you can't do anything about these old guys. Who made you a fledgling hairy boy. Cheng Yanjin on the side said with a laugh.

This couldn't help but make the eldest grandson Wuji's face change color, but there was no way to bite the gold with Cheng Cheng. just glared at Cheng Yanjin fiercely and said, "If he, Kong Huiyuan, can complete the transcription of a book according to the proposition." Then my eldest grandson is willing to gamble and lose. ”

"Please ask the eldest grandson to come up with a question, but the eldest grandson is a proposition on the spot. Students don't dare to say that it is done in a stick of incense, I am afraid that it will take more time. Kong Huiyuan said.

"Naturally, you can't let you finish a stick of incense in time, after all, a printing plate can't be carved out of a stick of incense."

"But you can't let the ministers wait for you in this Taiji Hall for a few months, right?" The eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth and said to Kong Huiyuan.

"As for the length of time, it depends on which book the eldest grandson proposes." Kong Huiyuan opened his mouth and said to the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Please also ask the emperor to come up with the question. Lest someone say that my eldest grandson is unscrupulous and embarrassed for the younger generations. The eldest grandson Wuji saluted Li Shimin and said.

Li Shimin nodded after hearing this, and then said to Kong Huiyuan: "Then you can copy the Tao Te Ching, so as not to make the Manchu Dynasty wait too long for too many words." ”

"Your Majesty, if you can give the students two assistants. Students can complete it in one hour, or at least three hours if they are students. Kong Huiyuan opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.
