People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 766

Li Zheng waved his hand and said, "I don't need it, I just wonder if Tang Xuanzang needs it."

Xu Jingzong glanced at Li Zheng strangely, "Chang'an Ling, this Tang Xuanzang is a monk."

Li Zheng nodded and said, "I know he is a monk."

Xu Jingzong became more and more puzzled.

Li Zheng said melancholy: "Forget it, I just mentioned it casually."

Xu Jingzong nodded slightly.

After looking at the information a few more times, Li Zheng said to Xu Jingzong: "Let's sort out all the information with Li Yifu, compile it after sorting it out, and let Duke Zou have a look before publishing it."

"It's okay to let Duke Zou take a look." Xu Jingzong asked hesitantly, "But can this Duke Zou be trusted?"

Just waking up and stretching his waist, Li Zheng said to Xu Jingzong: "The concern is not whether we trust Duke Zou, but His Majesty trusts Duke Zou very much."

Xu Jingzong took a deep breath, "It turns out that the Chang'an Order had such considerations, but I was negligent. The Chang'an Order has great opinions and I admire it."

Seeing Xu Jingzong's expression, Li Zheng smiled and didn't want to say anything more. Rather than saying that Zhang Gongjin was Li Shimin's confidant, a person like Zhang Gongjin, one of the most powerful advisers around Li Shimin, was able to give Li Shimin all kinds of tricks in the late Sui Dynasty , and even one of the masterminds of Xuanwumen.

The reason why he came to Jingyang is unclear. Instead of thinking about it, it is better to think that this old man is Li Shimin's undercover agent.

I don't know if it's because I watched too many spy wars in later generations, and I always feel that my paranoia of persecution is getting worse.

When you don't know anything and can't see clearly, it's better to think of the other party as a bad person first.

Then test him slowly.

If the situation is good, maybe you can instigate him.

Li Shimin immediately received the news from Jingyang, which was also sent by Wang Ding.

Looking at the narration in the secret newspaper, Li Zheng has already started publishing new magazines, and the newly established book printing workshop has started construction.

Zou Guogong and Zhang Gongjin are in charge of the new book printing workshop.

Li Shimin was surprised to see the news.

Li Shimin said with a sneer: "Li Zheng actually asked Zou Guogong to be the head of the printing workshop."

Empress Changsun was also a little surprised when she heard this. The business of the book printing shop has a royal share, and Li Jiangshan has always been watching.

After tidying up the cotton cloths in front of her, Empress Changsun said, "These cloths were sent from Jingyang by Lizhi, and they were sent just after weaving."

Li Shimin glanced at the cloth and said, "Lizhi is a sensible child."

Empress Changsun sat next to Li Shimin and said, "Li Zheng is also a smart child. Zhang Gongjin has been in Jingyang for two years, and he has been in Jingyang for the past two years. I think Li Zheng asked him to be the head of the printing workshop this time to reassure His Majesty. .”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "If you say that Li is just a little fox, that's really a compliment to a fox. He is much more cunning than a fox."

Empress Changsun smiled silently, "Your Majesty, what Li Zheng is doing in Jingyang now, Li Zhi has written to tell my concubine, has the matter really come to this point?"

Li Shimin nodded and said: "If Li Zheng doesn't do it, I will do it, and I will say something from my heart in front of you. In fact, Li Zheng can do this, and the stone in my heart has fallen."

Empress Changsun said in a low voice: "In the past, Li Zheng was not a serious problem for the nobles of the aristocratic family, and he was not at the point of dying with Li Zheng, but if he does this now, the aristocratic family is afraid that they will never die with Li Zheng."

The business of printing books is the business of scholars.

Scholars are the foundation of the aristocratic family, and the aristocratic family would rather stand still and think about making the cost of ordinary people's education infinitely higher, so as to divide the common people.

The less scholars there are, the happier the family is. If you master the scholars, you will master the future of the court.

Officials in the court must not be a group of illiterate people.

Regardless of who will sit in the country, whoever controls the scholars will control the future.

The family knows the truth.

It doesn't matter who the emperor is, as long as the aristocratic family survives, they still have the final say in the Central Plains.

Li Shimin said to Empress Changsun: "I handed over the entire Longwu army to Li Zheng, and I also know your worries. Li Zheng and Li Zhi have no children yet, and Li Zhi and Li Zheng are still young. I am afraid they will resist such a big matter." won't come down?"

Empress Changsun nodded, "This is not about offending one or two people, it's a declaration of war against the family."

Li Shimin's expression was stern, "If the aristocratic family is not eliminated, what is the future of the country?"

Empress Changsun was silent and didn't speak too much.

From the moment Li Shimin ascended the throne and sat on the throne, family affection and Li Shimin have been alienated.

Two days later, the eve of the opening of the new year.

Li Zheng was sitting in his yard playing chess with Li Tai.

It was a game of chess that was in full swing, and the maid came to report: "Chang'an Order, Duke Zou is here."

Withdrawing the hand that was about to move the chess piece, Li Zheng looked towards the door of his house, and saw Zhang Gongjin standing at the door.

Li Zheng beckoned and said, "Duke Zou, please come in."

Zhang Gongjin walked into the courtyard with a worried look on his face.

Looking at the person coming, Li Tai said, "I'll go see if the tea eggs are ready."

After speaking, Li Tai walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing Zhang Gongjin's expression, Li Zheng said: "Zou Guogong came to visit late at night, I don't know why?"

Putting the scroll on the table, Zhang Gongjin asked, "Li Zheng, what exactly do you want to do?"

Li Zheng picked up the scroll in front of him, looked at the content on it and said, "Is the story in it inappropriate?"

Zhang Gongjin stared at Li Zheng and said, "Li Zheng, I will ask you again, do you really want to do this?"

Li Zheng waved the fan in his hand and said, "That's why I asked Mr. Zou to be the head of the book printing workshop."

Zhang Gongjin was silent for a long time, then sighed again and said: "I understand what you mean, it's getting late, you should go to bed earlier."

Seeing that Zhang Gongjin turned to leave, Li Zheng said: "Zou Guogong, go slowly."

Li Tai ate the tea eggs and asked, "What is Duke Zou doing here?"

"He came to ask about the weather tomorrow."

"weather?"

"Yeah." Li Zheng nodded and returned to his room.

Standing at the door, Li Tai still looked at Zhang Gongjin's back walking under the moonlight with a puzzled expression.

Back in his study, Li Zheng was sitting under the oil lamp reading a book. He didn't know if he was too tired, so he fell asleep while watching.

When the morning comes, the sun shines on the city of Chang'an, and with a shout in front of Chengtian Gate, the first day of Zhenguan ten years arrives.

The weather is warmer earlier than usual.

People are also on Suzaku Avenue early.

In front of Chengtian Gate, there are envoys from various countries in different clothes.

The courtiers entered the Chengtian Gate and walked into the Taiji Hall. Envoys from all over the world rushed to congratulate him. Li Shimin greeted the first day of Zhenguan's ten-year new dynasty with a smile on his face.
