"Your Majesty,"

After paying his respects, Yi Huawei said respectfully, "The Qin law states that when a wise ruler appoints a minister, he cannot exceed his position and gain merit, nor can he make inappropriate statements. If one exceeds his position, he will be put to death, and if one makes inappropriate statements, he will be punished! If one does something on his own without informing the monarch, that is called exceeding authority. But I have already reported to Your Majesty and received Your Majesty's instructions in advance, so how can that be called exceeding authority?"

Glancing at Meng Tian, ​​Yi Huawei continued, "Secondly, eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in government affairs. This is the suggestion of the prince, and it is not recorded in the Qin law. General Meng, do you want to use chicken feathers as a token of authority?"

After a pause, Yi Huawei smiled, ignoring Meng Tian's ugly face. "Thirdly, what General Meng said, that when the general and the young master were not here, no one in the court dared to oppose me, is indeed a bit... Haha, could it be that in General Meng's eyes, I, a minister of the Imperial Chariot, can actually issue orders over all the civil and military officials? Where does the general put the three dukes and nine ministers in the court? Not to mention that I am a minister of the Imperial Chariot, General Meng is so arrogant, is he putting himself above the Grand Marshal?
As for what Lao Ai said... General Meng should know that I am a eunuch? Where do you put Your Majesty with your words? I don't know how I have offended General Meng, why is General Meng slandering me like this? "

"Well, Zhao Gao is also following my orders."

Seeing Meng Tian's frustrated look, Ying Zheng nodded and waved to Yi Huawei: "Stand up."

Turning his head to look at Meng Tian:
"My dear minister, you have been away for a long time, so it is understandable that you did not understand the situation at the moment. Let's just leave it at that and do not discuss it any further."

“Your Majesty!!…Yes!”

Looking at Ying Zheng's unquestionable eyes, Meng Tian could only nod dejectedly, glared at Yi Huawei hatefully, and walked back to his original position.

Yi Huawei also knew that Ying Zheng favored Meng Tian, ​​so it was impossible to overthrow him. Besides, if he was overthrown, who would be found to guard the border?
Therefore, I didn't worry about it anymore, as long as my goal of getting rid of the crime was achieved.

"If you have something to do, start the show, if nothing happens, leave the court!"

The eunuch on the side looked at Ying Zheng's eyes and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Yi Huawei said respectfully: "Standing the same weights and measures, the same wheel gauge, and the same writing system is an unprecedented feat since the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth. Your Majesty has a far-sighted vision, and I admire you."

"Haha~, if you have something to say, just say it. No need to flatter me!"

Ying Zheng turned to look at Yi Huawei, a hint of smile in his eyes. It was obvious that Yi Huawei's flattery hit a chord with him.

Yi Huawei bowed again and said, "Inspired by Cheng Miao, I also have an idea that may help your majesty in writing the same characters!"

Qin Shi Huang laughed when he heard this: "Are you also going to learn how to create characters?"

"Xiaozhuan is the painstaking work of Prime Minister Li and Lord Cheng. I don't have the ability to do it, but..."

Yi Huawei pointed at the bamboo slips piled up in the hall and said:

"These heavy bamboo slips were the main material for the government to record decrees, archives and documents. Each piece of bamboo slip carries a heavy historical and cultural sedimentation, but their size and weight also bring great inconvenience."

As he spoke, Yi Huawei stood up and picked up the white silk scattered on the ground, on which were written the characters of the six kingdoms: "Silk cloth is expensive, and only nobles dare not use it. Both have their advantages and disadvantages."

This white silk fabric is called silk, which is much lighter than bamboo slips and has a fine texture, making it smoother to write on. However, silk is expensive and is usually only available to nobles and officials, while ordinary officials and common people cannot afford it.

Yi Huawei went on to say: "Although bamboo slips are heavy, they are the carriers of culture and knowledge. Every day, your majesty has to read 120 kilograms of memorials, and the usher in charge of carrying them often feels tired because of the weight. Although silk cloth is light, its high price means that it can only be used by a few people. Now, I want to combine the advantages and disadvantages of the two and make a material for your majesty that is as light as silk cloth and cheaper than bamboo slips. I will write in seal script and official script, so that your majesty's concept of writing the same words can spread throughout the world!"

"I believe that this innovation is as significant as Cangjie's creation of Chinese characters! It will bring about a cultural revolution, allowing your Majesty's ideas and writing to spread like sunshine to every corner!"

Yi Huawei's voice echoed in the hall, attracting the attention of all officials.

...............

Inside the Qinyun Pavilion, the smoke from the incense burner lingers, hovering on the exquisite roof and then gently falls down, as if intertwined with the sound of the piano in the room, forming a tranquil and classical picture.

Queen Antu was wearing a luxurious silk dress, sitting at the table, with a majestic aura between her eyebrows and eyes. Her eyes were as sharp as a sword, staring closely at Yu Shu who was kneeling opposite her.

Yu Shu was wearing a plain dress and had a pale face, obviously having been kneeling for a long time.

Looking at her daughter, the queen asked in a deep voice: "I ask you, why didn't you go to the King of Qin?"

Although the queen's voice was low, it echoed in the quiet Qinyun Pavilion. Yu Shu's body trembled slightly. She knew the deep meaning behind the queen's words. This was a direct questioning of her loyalty and a stern warning to her actions.

There was a glimmer of expectation in the queen's eyes. She hoped that Yu Shu could give a reasonable explanation, an answer that would satisfy her. However, Yu Shu did not answer immediately. She lowered her head and remained silent for a moment, as if she was considering every word.

The queen shouted, "I'll ask you again, why didn't you go to see the Emperor? Why did Zhao Gao stop targeting Juxian Hall? Why did he suddenly stop?"

"I... I don't know why Zhao Gao stopped targeting Meng Tian, ​​but I know that Xiaochuan is in his hands now..."

Yu Shu bit her lips tightly, with a trace of pain in her eyes: "Mother... I beg you, please find a way to save Xiaochuan, okay?"

As he spoke, two lines of tears burst out of his eyes and fell to the ground.

"..."

Looking at her daughter crying, the queen's anger erupted like a volcano. Her face turned pale, tears glistened in her eyes, and she said in a trembling voice, "Do you know what you are doing?! For a man, you actually threw your mother's words behind your head?!"

The queen's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Yu Shu's heart. Her tears flowed like a flood that had been opened, unable to be restrained. She kept shaking her head, trying to explain, but could only make intermittent sobs.

After a pause, Queen Tuan's tears also gushed out, her body trembling, and she said in a sad voice: "Yu Shu, have you forgotten the instructions of your father and mother, you have forgotten the responsibilities on your shoulders, you have forgotten the people of Tuan,... even, you have forgotten that you are a Tuan person!?"

Yu Shu shook her head repeatedly: "No... I have never forgotten it!" She tried to explain, but her tears made it impossible for her to speak clearly.

"Then why did you do this?! Why did you ignore the people of Tuan for a man?!"

The queen's angry questioning left Yu Shu speechless.

"Mother, I..." Yu Shu wanted to explain, but the words were stuck in her throat. She could not convince the queen, nor could she convince herself.

“Yu Shu!” The queen’s tears had stopped, and her eyes were full of determination: “You can’t abandon your responsibilities like this, you can’t treat the people of Tuan like this!”

Yu Shu looked at the queen, her heart full of contradictions and pain. She knew that what her mother said was true. She was the princess of Tuan, and she had the responsibility and obligation to protect the people of Tuan. But she could not give up her love for Yi Xiaochuan.

"Well then... let me ask you, between Tuan and Yi Xiaochuan, which one do you put first?"

Swallowing her tears, Queen Tuan stared at the speechless Yu Shu, sneered and shook her head: "Since you can't cut off this love, let me, as a mother, do it!"

After saying that, the queen stood up angrily, with a determined look in her eyes: "General Jin!"

"Chen is here!"

General Jin at the side responded, his eyes full of loyalty and determination.

"I order you to bring me Yi Xiaochuan's head within three days!" Queen Tuan's tone was firm, her eyes flashing with cold light, and every word she said was like a cold arrow, shooting into Yu Shu's heart. "Yes!" General Jin responded immediately without any hesitation.

"Do not!!"

Yu Shu couldn't accept this reality. Tears rolled down her cheeks and her voice was filled with despair: "If you dare to hurt him, I will die right here and now!"

Her determination stunned Queen Tuan. Her eyes flashed with complex emotions, including anger, disappointment and pain.

"You! I never expected that this is the good daughter I trained!"

Queen Tuan's body was shaking, her eyes were full of disappointment. She used to be full of pride and hope for her daughter, but now... the queen cried in grief and said:

"I... I really didn't expect you to do such a thing. How... How can I face the elders and fellow villagers of Tuan? How can I face the people of Tuan?"

Queen Tuan suddenly rushed forward and hit the bronze pillar beside her. Princess Yushu and General Jin rushed over, and Queen Tuan's body fell limply to the ground, with an indescribable sadness in her eyes, and then slowly closed.

"Miss!"

"Miss!"

"No!! Mother! What are you doing?"

Princess Yu Shu looked at her mother, who had blood oozing from her forehead and collapsed on the ground. Tears flowed down her face uncontrollably, and her heart was filled with guilt and self-blame.

"After I die, no one will give you orders anymore, and no one will prevent you from having a sweet time with Yi Xiaochuan, hahahaha~"

Queen Tuan laughed bitterly and choked up as she said:
"You can do whatever you want! You should...you should be happy!"

Yu Shu burst into tears and said, "No... Mother, Yu'er, Yu'er has never thought about it this way, please don't say that!"

General Jin at the side advised: "Your Majesty, please think more about Tuan and the princess. If you really leave like this, how will you let the princess face everything now?"

"It's ok!"

Queen Tuan slowly shook her head and sighed, "Yu'er, she has grown up and can make her own decisions!"

Yu Shu choked up and said, "No... Mother! Yu'er needs you. Yu'er can't live without you all the time!"

Taking a deep breath, Queen Tuan said slowly: "Yu'er, have you ever thought about it? I am not doing this for myself, I am doing this for you, for Tuan. If you still recognize me as your mother, if you still know that you are a Tuan, then you must promise me that you will forget Yi Xiaochuan forever, forget Yi Xiaochuan..."

Looking at Yu Shu, who was in great pain, the nurse at the side begged, "Princess, please agree to my queen's request. I beg you!"

General Jin sighed: "Princess, the Queen is doing this for your own good!"

Looking at her mother and her two closest relatives, Yu Shu, who was in a state of confusion, knelt on the ground, weeping and muttering silently:
"Xiaochuan, what should I do? Tell me quickly, what should I do? I can't bear the loss of either you or our mother, so, so I can only do this!"

Looking at her mother who was barely breathing, Yu Shu said helplessly, "Mother..., Yu'er promises you!"

...............

Nanyuan, main hall.

Xiaolan was writing down the process of making rice paper and handing it to Yi Huawei.

"Rice paper? No, it would take too long."

Yi Huawei looked at the complicated craftsmanship and shook his head. By the time the rice paper was made, the day lily was already cold.

The raw materials for making Xuan paper are mainly the qingtan tree, a specialty of the mountainous area in southern Anhui, with some rice straw. After a long period of soaking, ash pickling, steaming, washing, bleaching, pulping, water fishing, adding glue, pasting and baking, etc., more than 100 operation processes, it takes more than a year to produce high-quality Xuan paper. The finished Xuan paper is divided into three categories according to the raw materials: cotton, leather, and special clean. According to the thickness, it can be divided into single Xuan, sandwiched Xuan, three-layer sandwich, ribbed, ten-blade, etc.

It's good, but I'd better make the toilet paper first. Otherwise, the two rolls of tissue paper in my space won't last long.

"Write down the method of making Cai Lun paper."

Yi Huawei sighed and said to Xiaolan: "By the way, write about movable type printing..."

"Ok!"

Xiaolan nodded, picked up a brush and slowly wrote: "Cut the bamboo and float it in the pond, boil it with enough fire, put the material into the curtain, cover the curtain with paper, and bake it dry. Soak the cut bamboo in the pond for 100 days to make the fibers fully absorb water. When taking it out, beat it hard to remove the green shell and bark (this is the ancient killing green), the purpose is to soften the bamboo. You can also add bark, hemp heads, old fish nets and other plant materials to crush..."

"One hundred days?"

Yi Huawei was a little speechless, and said: "Can't you be faster?"

"In modern papermaking, there are three methods for converting wood into pulp: mechanical pulping, chemical pulping, and semi-chemical pulping. However, these methods all require the use of high-hardness grinding wheels and chemical preparations (soda pulp, sulfite pulp, sulfate pulp), etc., and all rely on modern industry and specialized machinery to varying degrees."

Xiaolan rolled her eyes:
"In today's environment, we can use plants such as hemp, rattan and bamboo to make paper. We can also use sandalwood bark, wheat straw, rice straw, etc. We can select crude fiber materials such as tree bark for experiments and select the best raw materials after repeated experiments."

"OK!"

Yi Huawei nodded. Fortunately, he now had a lot of younger brothers under him, so he could let his younger brothers do these chores. He was just about to call Xiao Anzi in.

"Click~"

The door was pushed open, and Yu Shu walked in. Without waiting for the two to salute, she waved to Xiao Lan directly:

"You step back first. I have something to say to Lord Zhao!"

"You...go wait outside first...don't run around!"

Yi Huawei looked at Xiaolan and gave her a special reminder.

"Ok!"

Xiaolan nodded excitedly and walked out with big strides.

"...,"

Yi Huawei waved his hands weakly and said, forget it. Xiaolan shouldn't be in danger anyway. At worst... I can just give her a new look.
