Soon, the major wealthy families in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, learned from the students that Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an, had invented movable type printing on Zhongnan Mountain. All of them were shocked, and they also knew very well that once movable type printing technology was promoted, their monopoly on knowledge and books would be completely broken, and more talents would be able to directly learn knowledge and learn the way of saints without going through their major wealthy families. This will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the major giants.

In Taiji Palace, Tang Emperor Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair in a golden dragon robe, with a contemplative face. He also knew about Li Xuan's invention of movable type printing, and he felt that movable type printing had both advantages and disadvantages for him and his country. On the positive side, it can take the opportunity to suppress the power of the major wealthy families and eliminate the monopoly of the major wealthy families on knowledge, books, and public opinion; On the disadvantage side, after the promotion of movable type printing, I have no control over unknown changes. After the Xuanwumen Change, by co-opting the centrists and the wealthy clans of Shandong, the entire Tang Dynasty has stabilized, and the major wealthy forces are also willing to work hard with him to gather national strength to deal with the decisive battle with the Turks in the future. However, the invention of movable type printing will inevitably have a huge impact on the various forces that have now been balanced in the Tang Dynasty. How to control and grasp the balance is what the Tang Emperor Li Shimin is most worried about. When it comes to jealousy, the most feared people in the heart of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty are Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Jing, the general of the auxiliary state, and the most feared forces are the major wealthy families. For hundreds of years, the emperor and the major wealthy families jointly control the power, no matter which emperor is on the throne, the most feared force is the major wealthy families who control the power with themselves, even the most dim and brutal former Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, he also took the opportunity of the three expeditions to Goguryeo, and wantonly recruited the children of the major wealthy families to go, and threw the corpses of the children of the major wealthy families on the icy land of Liaodong in batches. For hundreds of years, emperors were also produced among the major wealthy forces that controlled the government in the previous dynasty. Whether it is the former Sui or the current Tang Dynasty, it is the same. Therefore, for the emperor who ascended the throne and became emperor, the greatest danger came from the major wealthy forces. The major wealthy families have a mortal threat to the throne, so the suppression of the major wealthy families is what Li Shimin is most willing to see. However, once movable type printing was popularized, so that all the people of the Tang Dynasty who were interested in learning the way of the sage could learn it, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin was a little unsure of what the future situation would be. After all, although he is now afraid of the major wealthy families, a relative balance and stability have been formed above the court, and all the major wealthy families have personnel who can participate in the inner court meeting. They all occupy relatively important positions in the court according to their respective strengths. Once movable type printing is popularized and control over knowledge and books is relaxed, it will inevitably have an impact on the situation of the Tang Dynasty, which has just formed a stable society. The size of the impact, the grasp of the scale in the middle, is what the Tang Emperor Li Shimin is most worried about.

Li Shimin repeatedly thought about weighing the pros and cons, and he felt that although the future was unknown, if the knowledge was popularized, more than ten years later, Datang's talents would show a "blowout" effect. This is something that the Tang Emperor, a newly established country who has the intention of making the Tang Dynasty the most powerful country in the whole world, is something that he dreams of doing, and it is also particularly exciting news. He didn't reveal what he thought. Instead, at the beginning of the morning of the second day (that is, seven o'clock in the later generations), a grand court meeting of officials above the fourth rank of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was held in the Hanyuan Palace.

Early in the morning of the second day, the seventh quarter of the mao hour (i.e., 6:45 a.m. in the Hereafter).

The door of Hanyuan Hall has not yet been opened, and under the corridors on both sides of the hall, the soldiers who are in charge of guarding and wearing bright armor are silent. Don't squint. The early Tang officials gathered in twos and threes and whispered about today's topic: on whether movable type printing can be promoted. On the jade steps on the side of the hall, officials rushed to the Hanyuan Hall from time to time.

Hanyuan Hall. The walls are white, the pillars are red, and the tiles on the roof of the temple are blue-black. Hanyuan Hall was renovated when Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, first ascended the throne, and it was also the only palace room in the palace that had been renovated in the Tang Dynasty for ten years. It is generous but not luxurious, majestic but not heavily carved, it is like a giant, dignified and calm, not the former Sui Yang Emperor reign, extremely luxurious, full of jewels, flashy and gorgeous. Today's Tang Emperor Li Shimin also officially ascended the throne here, and on the day of his enthronement as emperor, Li Shimin wrote outside the palace gate, "In the past, I went by a horse, and now I drive ten thousand times." When he left, he was just a military general who received the talisman and single-handedly, and now when he returns, he is already the king of thousands of troops and horses, the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, to show that he has realized the change of the fish and dragon, from the courtiers and generals to the son of heaven who controls the world in the Tang Dynasty, the change of identity, which not only expresses the loss of time, his own development and change, but also with a trace of boasting and showing off emotions.

At the beginning of the hour, Wang Fugui, the leader of the eunuchs, stood outside the palace gate and shouted in a shrill voice: "The time is here, Qi." ”

The soldiers on both sides of the porch shouted in unison: "Enlightenment! ”

There are strong soldiers in the open space of the square in front of the Hanyuan Palace, raising a nine-meter-long whip high, "pop, pop, snap" three times in a row.

The so-called whip is like the government and county officials hitting the ground with water and fire sticks, which all contain the meaning of deterrence.

Outside the gate of the palace was suddenly solemn, and Ya Que was silent. All the officials were arranged in an orderly manner according to the level of their official positions, and walked into the Hanyuan Palace.

Hanyuan Hall sits in the north and faces south, and is rectangular. It is one hundred and twenty steps long from north to south and ninety steps wide from east to west. There are nine vermilion pillars of up to nine zhang on the east and west sides, the distance between the pillars is 16 steps, and on the columns, there is a dragon pattern carved and cast, called the dragon jade pillar. The floor of the hall is paved with "gold bricks", these gold bricks are not really gold, but square bricks specially customized for the palace in Yangzhou, the surface is similar to marble, smooth and flat, and also has the effect of absorbing light and amplifying sound.

After entering the Hanyuan Hall and standing still, all the officials bowed down and held a 芴 (wu) board in front of them.

With the shouting of the chief eunuch Wang Fugui: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

Tang Emperor Li Shimin walked out from behind the screen, dressed in a golden dragon robe, walked to the throne and sat down slowly.

Wang Fugui, the chief eunuch, was beside the throne, shook off the dust, and shouted sharply: "Your Majesty is in court, and your subordinates are respectful." ”

The Great Pilgrimage Meeting officially began. (To be continued......)
