Chapter 712: A sea of people
Li Er nodded affirmatively.
"The door of the library is indeed a door that can be rotated, and I don't know how Li Yong came up with it, the design is indeed exquisite, but it is a little flashy."
Li Er definitely didn't admit that it was he who was sour, absolutely not, it was that the glass door that could rotate was flashy, what flashy and unrealistic or anything like that Li Zhi didn't pay attention to at all, all his curiosity was attracted by the rotating glass door, Li Zhi couldn't wait.
"Father, mother, and sons also want to go to the library the day after tomorrow!"
He felt that the library the day after tomorrow must be very lively, and he really wanted to see the glass revolving door of the library, so he really wanted to go to the library the day after tomorrow to join in the fun, Li Er listened to it and groaned.
"There should be a lot of people in the library that day, and it is easy to get into trouble when there are many people, you are the prince, how can you take risks lightly?"
Li Zhi listened to the regret on his face, and was a little unwilling in his heart, and asked pitifully.
"The Queen Mother?"
In fact, not only Li Zhi wants to go to the library, but why doesn't Princess Yuzhang want to go? She wasn't as curious about the glass revolving door as Li Zhi, although it was indeed quite delicate, she was more curious about the library and the books inside, after all, those books were the real meaning, Princess Yuzhang said softly.
"Father, mother, do you want your daughter to accompany the pheasant slave? It's good to take care of the pheasant slaves. ”
Li Zhi couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart when he heard this, and felt that Sister Yuzhang was really good, so he hurriedly said.
"Father, mother, it must be fine to have Sister Yuzhang with me!"
In fact, Empress Changsun knew in her heart that Li Zhi and Yu Zhang wanted to join in the fun, if Li Tai was full of resentment and unwillingness when she left Chang'an, then she really didn't dare to let Li Zhi go into danger, but Li Tai had completely let go of the idea of fighting for the crown, so who else would harm Li Zhi at the feet of the Son of Heaven? Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile.
"Who dares to make trouble at the feet of the Son of Heaven? Sage, since both Pheasant Nu and Yu Zhang want to go, why don't you let them go, let them go to the Imperial Library first, and then let Li Yong accompany them. ”
Li Zhi jumped up happily when he heard this.
"Yes, yes, and my brother-in-law, let my brother-in-law accompany us, it'll be fine!"
Although I am worried that the library will be a little messy the day after tomorrow, but if Li Yong accompanies Li Zhi, then there is no need to worry, Li Er nodded when he heard it.
"It's okay, then you can go to the Imperial Library first, and then Li Yong will accompany you, don't run around by yourself, and bring more guards."
Li Li said with a smile.
"Father and queen mother, don't worry, the daughter will also accompany her younger brothers and sisters, and she will definitely watch them."
Li Zhi heard this and hurriedly arched his hand.
"Thank you father, thank you mother!"
Princess Yuzhang also rejoiced in the blessing of the body.
"Father Xie, Queen Mother!"
The emperor personally ordered Wannian County and Chang'an County to post notices, how dare Chang'an County and Wannian County slack off? Leave everything else down for now, and do it well! Therefore, notices were quickly posted everywhere in Chang'an City, and the efficiency was very high, and as soon as the notices were posted, the surrounding area was immediately surrounded by people.
"What does the notice say?"
Most of the people are illiterate, so they can only ask the people around them, their eyes are all focused on the body of the people who read in the crowd, and the readers who know the words can not help but be excited the moment they see the notice, their faces are flushed, and some are also excited to tremble, most of the readers who look around the notices on the street are from poor families, and they are most looking forward to the library, these days they are looking forward to it all the time, and now they see the notice that the library will be open the day after tomorrow, not to mention how surprised they are.
"The notice said that the Imperial Library is located in the northeast of Chang'an City, and will be open to all the people of Datang for free the day after tomorrow.
"The library opens at three o'clock every morning and closes at three o'clock."
"You need to bring your own tea, and you are not allowed to eat in the library."
"There must be no noise in the library, and there must be silence."
"Books must not be stolen or damaged, and once discovered, not only will they be compensated according to the price, but they will also be fined twice as much."
……
The people around nodded while listening, they thought there were any harsh conditions, but they didn't expect that there were no harsh conditions at all, there was no water and no food in the library, which was not surprising, it was already a great grace to let others read books for free, do you have to care about eating and drinking? The library is a place to read, and of course you can't make a fuss! As for the damage compensation, it's normal, it's a matter of course, as for stealing, people let you see it for free, and you're embarrassed to steal? Once it is found that this kind of person is directly killed, with the posting of notices, the free opening of the library the day after tomorrow is like a gust of wind quickly spread throughout Chang'an, followed by a lot of other discussions, what is all glass, what books are as vast as the sea, what will rotate the glass door, originally there were many people who had been to the library before, and more people passed through the library, under their boasting, the matter of the imperial library was completely detonated, and the streets and alleys were full of discussions, Whether it is a reader or not, they are all talking about it, and they all want to go to the library to see, Li Lizhi returned to the house, and talked about the praise of his father and mother with great interest, and said that the queen mother also wanted to come to the library to see, Li Yong came down in a cold sweat and hurriedly said.
"The museum will open the day after tomorrow, and I have to be busy tomorrow, but I don't have time to receive the queen's mother, as for the day after tomorrow, there must be a lot of people coming the day after tomorrow, and it is not appropriate for the queen to come."
Li Lizhi pouted slightly.
"Is the queen mother so ignorant of the general situation? She knows, so she doesn't want to come and mess with you, and wants to come back when the right time is right for her in the future. ”
Li Yong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"That's okay, thank you for your understanding."
Li Li said with a smile.
"However, Pheasant Slave and Yu Zhang are also very curious about the library and want to come to the library the day after tomorrow."
Li Yong shook his head slightly.
"What are they doing here? You enter the palace tomorrow to persuade them, and come back when there is a suitable opportunity in the future. ”
Li Li said with a smile.
"But the father and the queen mother have already approved, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven, who dares to be unfavorable to the prince? Besides, the people who come to read must be readers, and ordinary people won't come, although it will be lively, but there won't be too many people, right? ”
Li Yong groaned.
"It's not easy to say, although most people can't read and can't read and can't come to read, but Chang'an City is so big, there will definitely be no fewer readers. I just don't know how many people will come the day after tomorrow. ”
As soon as dawn broke, the city gate guard stretched his waist and walked out of the arrow tower, and then he was sluggish, because the water in front of the city gate was already blocked, and the guard looked up at the sky a little confused.
"What's going on? When is this time, how can there be so many people waiting to get out of the city? ”
The guard asked urgently, if he hadn't seen that the people under the city were empty-handed, he would have thought that there had been some rebellion.
"Don't panic, the general has already gone down to ask, because the Imperial Library is open today, and they all want to go out of the city to the Imperial Library to see the library open."
The guard couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
"Is it necessary to go to the Imperial Library to see the library open?"
Of course, he also knew that the library was open today, but he was a military general, and he was not interested in books or anything at all.
"General, look into the distance."
The guard looked up into the distance, and saw a person in the distance walking towards the city gate, hiss! The guard couldn't help but gasp, there are so many people going to enter the city this morning? Just to see the opening of the library? The guard, who had been stunned for a while, suddenly reacted and wondered.
"No, are there so many scholars in Chang'an City? You see, those people, and those people over there, are they like readers? ”
The soldier next to him replied.
"It's not just people who want to go to the library, even illiterate people want to go to the library! I heard that the library is full of glass, and it looks very shocking, and there are revolving doors, who doesn't want to go and see for a long time? ”
Another soldier next to him replied.
"Don't hide it from the general, I want to see it too, and the lowly insiders also plan to take the child to see it today, not to mention anything else, if the child can get touched by the library, then it will not be in vain!"
Hearing what the soldier next to him said, the guard general couldn't help but light up and was greatly moved.
"No, Ben will have to ask someone to go back and deliver a message, and let the lady also take the child to the library to walk around, and be literate."
With the passage of time, more and more people gathered to the city gate, standing on the high city tower, even at a glance can not see the end of the team, the soldiers on the city wall are a little dumbfounded, this is still early in the morning, the city gate has not been opened, there are so many people waiting to go out of the city to the library, and when the city gate is opened, how many people will be ready to go out of the city? They couldn't even think about it, not only the people inside the city gate, but also many people outside the city waiting to enter the city, most of them were merchants who came overnight to prepare to enter the city early in the morning, but they would never have thought of what was going on in the city, if they knew, probably they would choose to enter the city another day.
"The hour has come, open the gates!"
With the shout of the guard, the city gate slowly opened, the soldiers removed the fence that blocked it, and the people who had been waiting for a long time immediately flocked in, outside the city gate, the crowd of people moved slowly towards the city gate, and in the distance, many people poured out from outside the city and walked towards the city gate, outside the city gate, the people who wanted to enter the city waited for the people outside the city to come out and then enter the city, first out and then entered, this is the rule, they waited eagerly, waited, waited...... It's a bit doha for people out of town today...... However, they waited for a long time, and their heels hurt, but the people who entered the city continued to swarm out of the city gates, and they were very puzzled, why are there so many people entering the city today? Could it be that something is happening in the city? Or is there something going on outside the city? These merchants came from other places, they didn't know about the library at all, and they didn't know that today was the day when the library was open, so they just waited and waited, and in the end they were almost desperate, and they even wondered if the entire people outside Chang'an City were going to come in! What the hell is going on? In fact, the door of the library has already been opened, because today is the first day of opening, so Li Yong has already arranged for people to maintain order, but Li Yong is still a little uneasy, so he went to the library after breakfast, the library is in the northeast corner of Chang'an City, and it is not close to Li Yong's Li Mansion in Chang'an City, but Li Yong's mansion walked in the northwest direction not long before he found that it was already impassable, Li Yong was a little confused, why are there so many people? How did you get stuck in this place? Are there so many scholars in Chang'an City? Even if there are so many scholars in Chang'an City, what time is it now? Did they all come without breakfast? In fact, what Li Yong didn't know was that more people were still on the way, Kong Yingda had already made up his mind to come to the library to read books today, so after having breakfast and dealing with some affairs, he got into the carriage and headed in the direction of the Imperial Library. When the carriage was halfway to the road, it stopped, and Kong Yingda sat in the carriage and asked.
"To the Imperial Library? So fast? ”
The coachman exclaimed.
"Master, the front is blocked, and all of them are people!"
Kong Yingda put down the book in his hand and lifted the curtain to take a look, good guy, the front is really full of people, it is simply a sea of people, this is almost to the Imperial Library, needless to say that these people must be going to the library, even Kong Yingda was shocked, although he thought that there would be a lot of readers coming to the library today, but he never expected that there would be a sea of people, and he found that there were many people who didn't look like readers at all, why did they come? Today is the opening day of the library, and it is not a fair! So many people, how do they still read books? It is estimated that everyone will come out after a circle, and it will be dark.
"Master, do you want to take a detour?"
The coachman asked, Kong Yingda shook his head and said.
"Forget it, go back, I won't go to the library today, and I'll go back when I have a chance."
The day before yesterday in the library, many ministers planned to come to the library today to read books, anyway, it was the day of rest to come to the library to experience it, but these ministers were all like Kong Yingda and turned around and went back halfway, because there were too many people in the Imperial Library, it was simply a sea of people, even if the sun set, they might not be able to squeeze into the library, but some people were excited to squeeze forward, and they couldn't wait to squeeze to the library immediately, that is, Cheng Chumo and their second ancestors, Seeing the crowded appearance of the Imperial Library, they almost fainted with joy, the more people, the more successful the library was built, which also has their credit, of course they are happy, the only thing that makes them feel sorry is that Li Yong has not had time to set up a monument of contribution.
