Chapter 298

The hall is not peaceful, how can the Queen Mother be calm? A famous eunuch with zero legs and feet rushed to pass the news between the main hall and the empress dowager's bedroom.

Gao Tao, who had been reclining on the soft couch and looking thoughtfully at the distance, the steaming kettle resting on the large copper stove listened silently as the eunuchs came over and told him everything that had happened in the hall.

Time went back to when Wang Yang had just set foot in the main hall, at first, Gao Taotao felt that this was just an ordinary birthday banquet for the Son of Heaven, but when he heard from the mouth of Manager Xu that Wang Yang and Wang Wushan, who had been removed from Taixue by his own decree, actually appeared in the main hall, Gao Taotao's face couldn't help but change.

However, after a short period of effort, Gao Tao regained his former grace and elegance and smiled leisurely. "I didn't expect that Wang Wushan also had some means, and he actually made the official family pay so much attention to him, and let people investigate carefully to see what kind of slippery head that kid surnamed Wang could play in front of the civil and military officials."

"The old slave understands that he will definitely be watched...... "The chief confidant Xu Degong nodded understandingly, and walked quickly to the side to attract a few powerful henchmen.

"A few of you, all of you are guarding the outside of the main hall for me, your eyes are wide, your ears are stunned, you can see and hear clearly, every half an hour someone comes back to our house, and after the return is finished, go back quickly, be sure not to miss half a point, otherwise, be careful of your skin."

"Don't worry, godfather, we understand......" Those henchmen naturally didn't dare to slack off, and after receiving the order, they rushed to the main hall and started to inquire in the spirit.

And when he heard that Wang Yang was offering his invention of printing to the Son of Heaven, Gao Taotao didn't even blink his eyelids, and commented very lightly. "It's just a grandstanding, although Zhao Tingzhi's selfishness is heavy, it is quite a strong ......"

However, when he heard that Wang Yang actually dared to bet with Zhao Tingzhi on the spot in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, Gao Tao's expression couldn't help but change a little.

Could it be that kid really has any tricks? Until this moment, Gao Taotao still didn't think that kid was really capable.

And until he heard that Fan Chunren and the Son of Heaven both stood up as arbiters, and then although Zhao Tingzhi used the words on the first two pages of the "Analects", he not only re-disrupted the order, but even deducted a few new words from it to prevent Wang Yang from cheating.

At this time, Gao Taotao still only felt that this was just a farce, but he was a little worried about how the official family would end up at that time.

Even if she always felt that this young son of heaven with a heart like Emperor Shenzong was too naïve and impatient, but after all, he was the son of heaven of the Great Song Dynasty, and if he was on the birthday banquet of the thousand autumns, he would lose face on the spot.

That damaged not only the official family, but even the entire royal face. Just when Gao Taotao was still thinking about whether he should show up and go to erase this matter directly.

But another eunuch with a horrified expression rushed into the report. That Wang Yang used a magical method called "Yuanyou Printing", and after less than a pillar of incense, he printed out the three pages compiled by Zhao Tingzhi, and each page of the sample was printed in five copies.

"What do you say? Motoyu Printing...... How the old body has never heard of it. Gao Tao could continue to lie down, so he immediately stood up, walked up to the eunuch and asked.

The young eunuch who had not seen the Empress Dowager so anxious for many years was stunned, and it took a long time to come back and quickly answer. "Hui Niangniang, the slave also heard about it for the first time, and Fan Xianggong proved on the spot that it was indeed printed by that Wang Wushan using Yuanyou printing technology...... This title is because the name of the official family is Yuanyou, so Erte named it after it. ”

"How can this ......" Gao Taotao, the person who has been in charge of the imperial power of the Great Song Dynasty all the year round, couldn't help but be confused and confused.

It is true that Yuan You is the name of the official family, but how amazing this Yuan You printing technique is, it really makes Gao Tao feel itchy.

At this moment, since it has been proved that Wang Yang has really contributed a great printing technique, Gao Taotao's first consideration is that the books of the Great Song Dynasty in the past were very expensive.

A set of "Analects" requires several times of money, and it is difficult for ordinary readers to afford a copy.

But more people, even if they have the heart to learn and are willing to accept the teachings of the sage, but the problem is that they can only roll their eyes if they have no books, and if this kind of Yuanyou printing is really like what Wang Yang said, in the world, I don't know how many poor scholars will be so excited that they will cry.

However, Gao Taotao was only excited for a while, and soon, the news from the main hall again made Gao Taotao's face look extremely ugly.

With his scheming and deep calculations, naturally, like those officials in the hall, he faintly guessed that the Son of Heaven would take out this Yuanyou printing technique on the day of his Qianqiu Festival.

It is even possible to calculate that with the character of Zhao Tingzhi, who is extremely selfish, it is very likely that he will stand up and confront Wang Yang head-on.

Then the Son of Heaven took the opportunity to stand up, and even let the elder Fan Chunren, who was loyal to the government and the opposition, serve as the arbiter together.

The result? Wang Yang, who was ordered to be removed from the Taixue Academy, became the victor. And Zhao Tingzhi, who has a lot of grievances with Wang Yang, has become a spurned loser.

What does this prove? It can only be proved that the Empress Dowager Gao Tao does not know anyone, and she is actually located above the court because of such unseemly virtuous people who are simply drawn from the people and roaring at the court.

The more Gao Tao thought about it, the more gloomy and frightening his face became. And where did Mr. Xu dare to disturb Gao Tao in this mood, he only dared to wait cautiously.

And then at the moment when Gao was groaning, someone came to report, saying that Zhao Tingzhi wanted to cheat, and then a group of officials interceded for Zhao Tingzhi, which provoked the anger of the Son of Heaven and wanted to use the forbidden army, and was finally persuaded, but Zhao Tingzhi had to retreat.

Before the Empress Dowager was surprised, the next news arrived, that is, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to open Enke at this age, and it was at the same time as Zhengke......

One news after another was like thunder, smashing the face of the chief manager Xu, and the empress dowager Gao Tao couldn't help but be shocked.

The Empress Dowager sat down slowly in front of the peat-burning copper stove that the Son of Heaven respected, still feeling a chill seeping into her bones.

After a long while, Gao Taotao let out a long breath, revealing an expression of surprise that was difficult to hide. "Amazing, such a clever method, I can't imagine that the mourning family really looks down on the official family......"

"...... Could it be that the official family has done something that has made you unhappy, do you want to drive over and take a look......" Xu Degong saw Gao Tao's expression, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"No!" After a little thought, Gao Tao vetoed the proposal of General Manager Xu. "Don't forget, the official family is the son of the Great Song Dynasty, and what he does today is all outside his role, so the mourning family will not be the old woman who gets in the way......"
