Li Yue put down the pen in her hand and carefully put the story she had just written in the sun, to dry the ink, she said in a low voice: "The best weapon to deal with the family is to resist the etiquette system, will this approach be too weak." ”

"Stories are on the side of ordinary people, good stories can always go deep into the masses, and the masses are the greatest force against the family."

"I don't think this is enough, in addition to scraping the bones to cure the poison and slowly alleviate the disease, while sowing the seeds in the hearts of the readers, we must also uproot the roots of the disease, so that we can get rid of it once and for all." Li Yue thought about it and said.

"This kind of thing yours is doing needs time."

"The time will come." Li Yue smiled gently.

used to be a well-behaved little girl, but now her daughter-in-law has changed a lot in terms of vision and way of thinking, which may be because she has been with the queen for a long time.

She doesn't have much love for small animals, she kills when she deserves, and food is for eating, and she will definitely not show mercy in this regard.

At the beginning, the two Northeast geese had been kept in the village because they were the bear's opponents.

But when Little Bear defeated the two geese, she immediately stewed the two Northeast geese without any mercy.

Don't look at her now docile, she didn't hesitate to be ruthless.

may be because of the environment in his childhood, coupled with the queen's teachings these days, the decisiveness in Li Yue's heart slowly began to show.

After writing the first few stories of the West Chamber, Li Yue said: "Why don't you print the story of the White Snake too." ”

Zhang Yang sat leisurely in the rocking chair, "Don't be in a hurry, take your time." ”

"Wouldn't it be better if I had more books out there?"

"I can't finish it in one bite, the printing industry is still in its infancy, so let's accumulate it well, step by step, and start with our reputation."

"For the long term, slowly figure it out?"

Zhang Yang nodded.

From the summer harvest in September, it was not until the middle of October that the entire Guanzhong tax was counted.

The cotton in the Western Regions was also sown in February and harvested in September, which lasted a month, and in mid-October, the lengthy convoy arrived at the entrance of Lishan Village.

Niu Chuang temporarily asked people to repair a few warehouses before they could barely put in cotton.

I sent some grapes to make raisins or something, but no one would care too much.

Now that there is such a big move, Li Shimin can't be curious.

In the East Palace, Zhang Yang and Li Chengqian were playing badminton, and Li Yue was sitting on the side boiling tea.

In the middle of the fight, the eunuchs in the palace interrupted the interest of several people.

"Your Majesty summoned Young Master Zhang and Princess Runan to enter the Chongwen Palace for discussion."

"Chongwen Palace?" Li Chengqian was also surprised, Chongwen Hall has always been unattended, how could his father go there?

Chongwen Hall is on the edge of the East Palace, Li Chengqian changed his clothes and hurriedly cleaned up, and several people went to Chongwen Hall together.

Compared with the East Palace in the sun, the Chongwen Hall is in the shade, and there is a cold feeling when you walk into the hall.

Li Shimin was in the hall, and when he saw the three of them coming, he asked, "This Chongwen Hall is cleaned up." ”

Zhang Yang walked into the hall and frowned, thinking about Li Shimin's intentions, and replied: "Chen Xijing." ”

Li Shimin turned his back to a few people, "A clean environment will make the body and mind happy." ”

When an emperor wants to pretend to be profound, do they like to turn their backs to people?

Can't you talk face-to-face?

With a burst of disdain in his heart, Zhang Yang lowered his head slightly and said nothing.

"I've heard that you have a close relationship with Gao Chang."

Zhang Yang arched his hand and said: "The minister's purchase of cotton from Gaochang is just a transaction. ”

"Buying and selling?"

Li Shimin's puzzled tone seemed to disbelief.

Li Yue replied: "Back to my father, this is a transaction, the reason is that the husband saw that cotton can be woven into clothes in the classics, and last year, the king of Hejian County bought cotton from Gaochang, which is why there is now this transaction, and there are accounts in the exchanges." ”

"Call Li Xiaogong too."

"Whoa!" Two more eunuchs hurried away.

Silence returned to the Chongwen Palace.

Li Chengqian stood in place, and did not dare to ask more questions in the face of his father's questioning, let alone move more.

After standing for a while, Zhang Yang looked sideways at his daughter-in-law, her forehead was still a little sweaty, and she was really tired just standing like this.

Seeing that Li Shimin was still facing away, he was looking at a book, and Zhang Yang pushed his daughter-in-law slightly.

Li Yue cast a puzzled look, and Zhang Yang's eyes gestured to the pillar on the side.

Understood the meaning, Li Yue leaned on the pillar slightly, which was a lot easier.

"I don't like the courtiers to hide anything."

Li Shimin's words came again.

Zhang Yang replied: "I don't know if Your Majesty thinks the minister has something to hide." ”

"I know that cotton is not valuable, and it is not a valuable commodity, but Gao Chang actually sold you so much cotton, don't you explain?"

"The minister has already explained, this is just a deal."

The hall fell silent again.

Soon, Li Xiaogong came in embarrassment, with the smell of alcohol, the retirement life of the king of Hejian County in his later years was still quite nourishing, and he didn't know where he drank the wine.

As soon as he stood still, there was a loud wine burp, and Li Xiaogong bowed and said, "The minister is rude, Your Majesty is atoning for his sins." ”

"Gao Chang sold tens of thousands of stones of cotton to this kid, do you know?"

"The minister knows that there are people in Chang'an City talking about this matter."

Li Xiaogong replied, his body swaying.

Seeing that he was about to fall headlong, Zhang Yang hurriedly supported him.

Li Xiaogong cast a grateful look, stabilized his figure, and continued to bow and reply: "I don't know why Your Majesty asked about this?" ”

"I ask you, did you buy cotton from Gaochang last year?"

"I've bought it, I've bought a lot." Li Xiaogong replied truthfully.

"This time Gao Chang sold so much cotton to Lishan Village, is it also related to the last incident?"

Li Xiaogong blinked vigorously and refreshed his mind, "It was indeed the minister who bought cotton from Gaochang at the beginning, and now Gaochang's garrison general Adalan was the Tuyuhun envoy back then, and the Ministry of Rites sold him a bargain, so that he and the Tuyuhun royal family could get out of the war." ”

"He is also in order to repay the favor of the last time, which gave a lot of cheapness, whether it is grapes or grape wine or cotton are willing to sell us at a very cheap price, the minister has also received a lot of grape wine recently, the price is much lower than the market, if Your Majesty likes to drink, the minister can also let people send some into the palace."

"Look at you, what you have become! Drink all day! Li Shimin pointed at him and scolded.

"On a whim, the minister and Cheng Zhijie drank a lot of grapes, and Your Majesty atoned for their sins!" Li Xiaogong bowed and saluted again.

Li Shimin sighed angrily: "Can cotton be used to weave clothes? ”

Li Xiaogong swallowed hard, "It's really okay, and it's a good thing to keep out the cold, there are two quilts made of cotton in the minister's house, and I'll send them after I go back." ”

"Things that are good for people's livelihood?"

"Back to Your Majesty, cotton is good for people's livelihood, better than leather linen, more able to keep out the cold, and is an auspicious thing for the people's livelihood."

Li Xiaogong had just finished speaking, and seeing that he was about to fall headlong again, Zhang Yang once again supported him.

"Such auspicious things should be explained to me, not bought in private."

Zhang Yang replied: "The technology of weaving clothes with cotton is not perfect, and the minister wants to really use it for the people after it is perfected, and then explain to His Majesty that the teacher said that everything must be cautious, and there is no result yet." ”

"If there is any result, I will definitely be informed."

"The minister commands." Zhang Yang helped Li Xiaogong to salute.

hated him for not being angry, Li Shimin pointed at Li Xiaogong and wanted to scold him again, but he couldn't organize the language well.

"Father, don't worry, when Uncle Wang sobers up, he will definitely let him come again to admit his mistake to his father." Li Yue added in due course.

With another sigh, Li Shimin glanced at the entire Chongwen Palace, "Cheng Qian!" ”

Li Chengqian stepped forward, "Erchen is here." ”

"I have seen that you have gained a lot from reading recently, and you will rebuild this Chongwen Hall into Chongwen Hall, recruit talents to discuss good policies for governing the country, and let the ...... here" Li Shimin glanced at the people present, "and let Zhang Yang preside over it." ”

"Whoa." Li Chengqian saluted.

Zhang Yang also bowed slightly.

Li Shimin waved his sleeves and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Zhang Yang watched the entire Tian Khan pass by him.

"I don't like people who deceive me."

Leaving such a sentence, Li Shimin walked out of the Chongwen Palace.

It's like a cruel word, it's more like a warning, and when you hear him say this, you can say what you should say, as for how you want to answer, it depends on how you Li Shimin asks.

Li Chengqian sat down against the bookshelf with all his strength, "Father, what's wrong?" Why is there such a sudden question today? ”

Li Xiaogong leaned on himself like this, Zhang Yang really couldn't stand the smell of wine on his body, and helped him sit down first by leaning on the bookshelf.

However, Li Yue was in a very good mood, and she was also very calm in the face of her father's questioning, and she was even already selecting books to take home to read.

"My father wants to say that he wants to rebuild this place into Chongwen Hall, how to rebuild it."

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Zhang Yang said suddenly: "There is no need to rebuild, it's good like this." ”

Transforming the Chongwen Hall into a Chongwen Hall similar to the Hongwen Pavilion, Li Chengqian was very interested, "Lone knows a lot of people from the Hongwen Pavilion, why don't you invite them?" ”

"Not for now."

"Why?"

Zhang Yang packed Li Yue's schoolbag, took out some of the books he had read, and said: "There are many people, and there are too many chickens to lay eggs, so I don't know what the commotion will look like when the time comes." ”

"Really?"

Li Chengqian's words hesitated a lot.

"The imperial brother has not yet understood what his father really meant, Chongwenguan is not important, what matters is the policy of governing the country, this is what the father wants, and it is an effective policy, the reason why I say this is because the prince's chart is really useful to the court, and I hope that the prince will do more similar things, this is what my father wants to see."

Li Yue's words came from the other end of the bookshelf.

"It is not necessarily useful to discuss the policy of governing the country, and don't think that your strategy is very useful, in the words that the husband often says, you must be modest, humble and studious, and you must say that there are six officials in Zhongshu Province who govern the country, and the father is not short of people, and there is no need to invite many people to Chongwenguan."

Li Chengqian was puzzled: "Then the Chongwen Pavilion will not be opened?" ”

Zhang Yang took a bunch of scrolls from Li Yue, "Yes, of course you have to do it, you can change the plaque today, since Your Majesty wants the ministers to preside over it, in terms of manpower, Your Majesty will put it all down and hand it over to me." ”

The more Li Chengqian listened, the more confused he became, and he didn't understand it, but he couldn't help but nod, "Lone understands." ”

After putting away all the books, Li Yue put on his schoolbag.

Zhang Yang picked up Li Xiaogong on his back and walked out of Chongwen Hall step by step.

When the two couples left, Li Chengqian was still standing in place, and he looked at Zhang Da'an in confusion, "Da'an." ”

"The minister is here."

"Tell me what Young Master Zhang and Yue'er mean?"

Zhang Daan also hesitated for a long time, and spoke for a while.

Seeing his troubled appearance, Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "Forget it, Gu knows that you can't keep up with the thoughts of the couple of them." ”

Zhang Da'an smiled innocently, "The minister just thinks that the appointment of His Majesty should be cautious and not make a big show." ”

】

"Cautious?" Li Chengqian nodded, "Well, I remember." ”

Zhang Yang carried the drunken Li Xiaogong on his back and walked all the way towards the Suzaku Gate.

"Do you think the old man is drunk like this?"

Li Xiaogong was lying on his back, and he said in a daze.

Zhang Yang carried him all the way, "If you are drunk, I will carry it back, and I can't put you on the street." ”

"Hehehe! I know that you kid won't ignore the old man. Li Xiaogong said stupidly.

"How much did you drink?"

"Originally, I wasn't drunk, but the eunuch in the palace came to report that the old man poured a jar of wine, and then walked out, otherwise how can you make your majesty, do you think your majesty is a good lake?"

Li Xiaogong's words were very soft, as if he was whispering.

"The old man treats you as his junior, there are some things that the old man can help you and will naturally help you, you kid is smart and thoughtful, although I don't know what you have done to make His Majesty suspicious, just like you will not leave the old man on the side of the road, and the old man will not die without help."

"Hmm." Zhang Yang nodded in response.

"The old man has never read a few books in his life, and he is not as wise as you young people, and now he can't see through you, the old man can't think of the things you can think of, and he can only help you a little bit, and you must hide the things you hide from Your Majesty."

Zhang Yang was not surprised, when they were in the Ministry of Rites together, Li Xiaogong could more or less know something.

Knowing about this matter, there are also Zhang Daxiang and Zhang Da'an and Li Yue.

No one else.

Walking along Suzaku Street, Zhang Yang carried Li Xiaogong to the mansion of the king of Hejian County, and Li Chongyi personally came to greet him, "I'm tired." ”

"We're also on the way." Zhang Yang said.

Li Chongyi took over his drunken father, and was almost crushed to the ground by the weight of the attack just after he was helped, and said in his heart how he carried his father all the way out of the palace.

"Need help?"

Holding on to his father with difficulty, Li Chongyi gritted his teeth and helped, "No." ”

"Really?"

Li Chongyi's face flushed, "There are people in the family." ”

Zhang Yang arched his hand and said, "Then we'll go back first." ”

"No...... I don't send it. Li Chongyi took a difficult step and slowly walked into the house.

On the way home, Li Yue whispered: "My father is a suspicious and conceited person, this time Uncle Wang helped us get over the lake, but my father is already suspicious." ”

"Well, I don't know how long I have to be suspicious, your father has already smelled it, and he won't stop if he doesn't find out something."
