Under the gaze of Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er, Duan Jian did not immediately open his mouth to defend himself, but pondered slightly for a long time. Although he is not like Shangguan Wan'er, he knows Wu Zetian's temperament and temperament so well, but from the experience www.biquge.info of later generations, Wu Zetian has a resolute personality and is more domineering than many men, all, since she has already spoken, it proves that if Duan Jian's next words or justifications can't move her, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Duan Jian to get out of this palace today.

In addition, Duan Jian also has a purpose, that is, to take this opportunity to show his ability in front of Wu Zetian, from the later his mentors Di Renjie and Yao Chong, Zhang Jianzhi and others, Wu Zetian still attaches great importance to real talents, so if he can take the opportunity to be appreciated by Wu Zetian, it will be much more convenient for Duan Jian to act in the future Wu Zetian period.

"Wechen heard that the famous capable generals in ancient times were mostly people who were not good-looking or defective, such as Sun Bin of the Warring States, Pang Tong of Shu Han, etc., these people were either disabled, or their appearance was not good-looking, but their king did not dislike them because of this, and even entrusted them with important tasks, so that the Qi State that got Sun Bin became a great power from a corner of the country, and Pang Tong was even more outstanding, Liu Bei was able to divide the world with Wei and Wu in the chaotic late Han Dynasty, Pang Tong's planning is the most important foundation, so much, the history books can not be saged, how can Niangniang because of the appearance of the minister, and say such rash words, if this word spreads, I am afraid that the reputation of Niangniang will be damaged! ”

After thinking for a long time, Duan Jian said slowly. It's just that after finishing speaking, Duan Jian bowed respectfully to Wu Zetian, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart.

Duan Jian was nervous, Shangguan Wan'er's heart standing beside Wu Zetian was also beating violently, she agreed with Duan Jian's words in her heart, and she was sure that if these words were said by an official in the old city, not only would Niangniang not be angry, but I am afraid that she would reward him heavily, but unfortunately, this sentence came from the mouth of Duan Jian, a kid who had repeatedly opposed Wu Zetian, in case Wu Zetian was angry for a while, it was very possible to take this opportunity to deal with Duan Jian's words.

Fortunately, Wu Zetian is Wu Zetian, the only female emperor through the ages, and that bearing is indeed not comparable to ordinary people.

"Good, great goodness, I didn't expect you to be young, not only is you talented, but you also have such knowledge, it really impresses the palace, your advice, the palace is very surprised, it has been a long time since I heard such a thought-provoking advice, so the court, a few more courtiers like you, why worry that my Tang Dynasty is not prosperous, why worry that the world is not peaceful." When Duan Jian and Shangguan Wan'er were nervous, Wu Zetian praised Duan Jian very unexpectedly.

"Thank you Niangniang for your praise, Weichen is just telling the truth." Hearing Wu Zetian's praise, Duan Jian's anxious mood suddenly improved, and at the same time, he secretly slandered in his heart, "What is the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and the world is peaceful, I'm afraid it's good for you, an old demon woman!" Of course, slander is slander, but on the surface, Duan Jian's expression was one of gratitude.

Many later books on sales usually write at the beginning, 'A good start is half the battle.' ’

This rule is also effective in officialdom, and Duan Jian's translation of words similar to exhortation made Wu Zetian look at him with admiration, and this treatment has also been upgraded.

"Duan Aiqing, do you know what the intention of this palace is to let Wan'er recruit you into the palace late at night." From calling him by his name just now, to now becoming Aiqing, it can be seen that Duan Jian is already relatively equal to ordinary court ministers in Wu Zetian's mind.

Regarding Wu Zetian's questioning, Duan Jian did not dodge left and right like Wu Chengsi and Shangguan Wan'er, and took care of it left and right, because he knew that in the face of people like Wu Zetian, any cleverness was looking for death, but he happily put everything on the table and said, maybe it would have an unexpected effect, so Duan Jian replied very happily, "Back to Niangniang, Weichen has some understanding of this matter, but it is for the matter of printing." ”

Duan Jian's happiness not only surprised Shangguan Wan'er, but even Wu Zetian, who had always looked indifferent, was a little shocked, fortunately, her experience over the years made her little turmoil quickly subsided.

"Yes, now that you know, I don't know about it, what do you think, now because of one of your vulgar bookstores, the disturbance of the entire court officials is not peaceful, and the whole world's wealthy families are also talking about it, throughout the ages, I am afraid that there are only a handful of people who can do this, originally, this palace did not want to make the whole world turbulent because of you alone, but then I thought about it, your actions were also unintentional, and in addition to your previous actions, this palace rose to cherish talents, At the same time, I also want to ask you face to face, is printing really so magical? Wu Zetian asked.

"Qi Yu Niangniang, Wei Chen can use his head to vouch, no matter how bizarre the legend of printing in the world, compared with the role of printing itself, it is only a drop in the bucket, so to speak, the invention of printing is no less than the role of paper, and even more than that.

If the invention of paper makes it convenient for readers, then the invention of printing is equivalent to making the originally scarce reading resources popular, so that more children from poor families who want to read but cannot read can get the opportunity to leap into the dragon. ”

If it was Duan Jian from the previous time, he would definitely not show the true role of printing in front of Wu Zetian, although the books in the vulgar bookstore made the wealthy families feel frightened, but the real role of printing, they were not too clear.

But what happened in the Wang family tonight made Duan Jian change his original thoughts, although Duan Jian already had a way to solve the problem of those wealthy families jointly impeaching him again, but the matter of printing was still a little unexpected to him, and the original idea of letting the Wang family take the opportunity to get benefits was even more impossible to achieve, in this case, after he got Wu Zetian from Shangguan Wan'er's mouth and wanted to get the printing technology, he would have the idea of dedicating the printing technology to Wu Zetian in exchange for appropriate benefits.

It is precisely because of this that he explained the real effects and benefits of printing to Wu Zetian without reservation.
