It's all about me, the emperor

Chapter 46

Wei Zifu's bamboo basket fetched water in vain. Not only did he not frame the queen, but he also took the palace power in his hand.

Yun Xi doesn't play tricks with her either, to hit someone she has to start with what she cares most about.Doesn't Wei Zifu like power?Yun Xi just took her palace power, and gave it to Mrs. Wang without any care, and asked Li Ji to assist her.The reason was that Wei Zifu was born prematurely and hurt his body, so he couldn't be tired. The queen sympathized with her and asked her to take good care of her.

Simple and crude, but extraordinarily effective.

Especially Li Ji, who already had an enmity with Wei Zifu, now that she has gained power, it will make things worse and make her stumbling everywhere.Although Li Ji is simple-minded, she has been immersed in the harem for many years, and there is no shortage of tricks.

Deliberate framing and deduction of records are always inferior, and it is easy for people to catch them.However, tampering with some trivial matters is enough for Wei Zifu.For example, her food is always delivered last, her requests are always perfunctory, and her orders all look good but are actually of the worst quality...

Although all kinds of things like this are harmless, they can disgust Wei Zifu.It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.Eating food came second, and what she couldn't tolerate the most was the gap caused by the decline in status.She couldn't accept that Wei Zifu, who once enjoyed the power to control the wind and rain, returned to the days of being controlled everywhere.

But Wei Zifu has a good ability to endure, even if Li Ji makes things difficult for him, he can keep his face unchanged and advance and retreat gracefully.Li Ji's sarcasm seemed to hit a ball of cotton. After a few times, Wei Zifu didn't do anything, and she got angry first.

However, only she knows whether Wei Zifu feels better or not.

Yun Xi didn't really want to kill her, she didn't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, but for Wei Qing's sake, Yun Xi wouldn't go too far.Teach her a lesson, let her have a longer memory, don't provoke yourself in the future, if the well water does not interfere with the river water, it would be best if we live in peace with each other.Of course, if Wei Zifu is so stupid that he is hopelessly stupid and insists on confronting her, Yun Xi will not be relentless!
In the spring of the fourth year of Yuanshuo, Liu Che sent Wei Qing to attack the Youxian King of the Huns.Before leaving, Yunxi sent someone to give Wei Qing a book of swordsmanship and a book of war, which she exchanged from the system mall, which would be of help to Wei Qing.

In July, Wei Qing came back with a great victory. Liu Che was very happy and worshiped Wei Qing as a general.

Wei Qing's celebration banquet and Liu Che's 32nd birthday were not a few days away, so they simply held it together, which can be described as double happiness.

One part of the palace banquet was to give Liu Che a birthday gift. Last year, Yun Xi excused that she was too tired due to pregnancy and was unprepared, so she just let the palace people perfunctory.At that time, their relationship was still in the stage of "respecting each other like ice", so Yunxi's actions made sense.It's just that this year they are still in love, but Yunxi still repeats the old tricks and left it to the palace people to prepare. When Liu Che saw it, although he didn't say anything, he was obviously unhappy.

This perfunctory way made him feel that he was not taken seriously, as if Yun Xi didn't take him seriously at all.

Yun Xi pretended not to know, but still finished the palace banquet with a smile.

When the banquet was over, Liu Che and Yun Xi took each other back to the Jiaofang Hall. Liu Che had recovered to normal, and there was only one gift left and right. It wasn't that he couldn't let it go, it was just that he felt a little uncomfortable after all.

Yun Xi smiled and said, "Your Majesty is not happy today, is it because the gift I gave you is not satisfactory?"

Although this was the case, Liu Che still insisted, "It's nothing, I like whatever you give me."

"Since His Majesty likes it, then I don't need to give another gift."

Liu Che was stunned for a moment, and then realized, "No, since it's ready, let's take it out and have a look."

Yun Xi smiled lightly and ordered the palace servants to bring up the gift.

Liu Che's expression remained the same, but he was looking forward to it. What kind of gift is it?I still have to lift it.

Several palace people came in carrying a vermilion box, which looked quite heavy, Liu Che thought to himself, no matter what it is, as long as it is Yun Xi's wish, he will definitely like it.

"Open it and see."

Hearing this, Liu Che personally went to lift the lid of the box, and when he opened it, there were three red boxes of the same style and one size smaller inside.

Liu Che raised his head to look at Yun Xi suspiciously, Yun Xi smiled at him, and signaled him to continue driving with his eyes.She made it so mysterious, Liu Che was also aroused curiosity, looking forward to this gift even more.

He took out the top box, and Liu Che opened it. This time, there was no box inside, only a stack of silk-like things, neatly cut, slightly whiter than brocade silk, but not as soft as brocade silk, I don’t know what it is .

Liu Che was even more puzzled, and looked at Yun Xi inexplicably, did she spend so much effort just to give something that she didn't know what to use?
Seeing his doubts, Yun Xi stepped forward and explained, "This is called paper, and it can be used instead of bamboo slips as a writing utensil."

Yunxi took out a piece of paper from his hand and spread it on the table, picked up a pen and ink to show him, and wrote a big birthday character on the white paper.

In this way, Liu Che also knew what this thing was for.Shocked and excited, he touched the paper in his hand and asked incoherently, "Yunxi, this, this can really replace the bamboo slips?!"

No wonder he was so excited. It was written on bamboo slips, which were bulky and inconvenient to carry. More importantly, they were not suitable for preservation. Many ancient books were damaged due to various reasons such as insects and moisture, and disappeared in the long river of history.

All dynasties have been looking for a writing tool that can replace bamboo slips. Although brocade and silk are more convenient than bamboo slips, they are too expensive to be widely used.It would be really great if this thing called paper that Yunxi sent could replace the bamboo slips!

"This is natural, and the cost of paper is very low, it can be popularized, it is convenient to use, easy to write, clear, light and easy to carry. Of course, it also has disadvantages, such as flammability and moisture..."

Liu Che looked at her with burning eyes, he never expected that she would give him such a big surprise!This is tonight, no, it is the most desirable gift he has ever received in his life!

Liu Che hugged her tightly, resting his head on her shoulder, "Yun Xi Yun Xi, thank you!"

Feeling his joy, Yunxi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and gently broke away from his embrace, "Is that enough? Nuo, don't you want to read these two boxes?"

and also?right!There are two more boxes left!
The first box is already such a big surprise, I don't know what else is waiting for him next.

Liu Che couldn't wait to open the second box. Inside was still a stack of papers, but the sides were sewn up with thread. On the first page was written "The Analects of Confucius", "This is..."

"This is a book, open it and have a look." Yun Xi replied with a smile.

Liu Che flipped through it quickly, and was amazed that such a small and thin book actually recorded all the contents of the Analects of Confucius!If it were written on bamboo slips instead, it would take more than ten volumes!

"This is really a good thing!" Liu Che touched the book fondly, his eyes gleaming.

Yunxi looked at the way his eyes were shining, which was exactly the same as Heng'er's expression when he was about to breastfeed, and held back the smile in his heart, "What do you think of this book, Your Majesty? If it is used to promote Confucianism and various cultural classics, it should be Will it be easy?"

Some things are precious because they are rare, and rare things are more expensive.The classics made of bamboo slips are actually very rare, and they are all collected in the hands of the royal family and aristocratic families. Ordinary people sometimes may not be able to get a scroll in their entire life.

Aristocrats of aristocratic families rely on these classics to monopolize cultural education. They will only train the children of their own family. "More and more "cheap".

Yunxi made books and paper appear in advance, just to break this monopoly and spread cultural classics widely.Only through exchanges and collisions can culture eliminate the false and preserve the true, and the words of a family are nothing but self-preservation.

Of course, she is not so great, her ultimate goal of doing this is to increase Liu Che's favorability
, Which emperor does not want to be able to achieve something in Wenzhiwugong?The appearance of book paper should make Liu Che's literary contribution to a higher level, right?
Liu Che for a while

Unexpectedly, Yunxi was so far-reaching, but he also knew the importance of this book, so he said excitedly to Yunxi, "Yunxi, this book is very good, very good!"

Yun Xi was not surprised by his answer, as long as you are not a fool, you can see the great value of these two things, after all, they are one of the four great inventions of ancient times!

"What's the other one?" Liu Che came back to his senses, and remembered that there was another box that he hadn't looked at. Holding back his emotions, he stretched out his hand to open the last box.

The third box was even weirder. There were some engraved squares inside a black square frame, and the words were still reversed.

"This is movable type printing." Yunxi explained.

"Why is it called movable type printing? Could it be that there are other types of printing?" Liu Che had some doubts.

"You are right, there is that kind of printing. At the beginning, the templates used for printing were printed after the entire engraving, but this method was extremely time-consuming and laborious, and the fonts could not be used after one use. Later, after improvement, there was movable type printing. You see, it’s like this..." Yunxi said and demonstrated, "Arrange the individual characters in order, then apply ink, and cover the paper on it, so that it will be printed. You can produce what you want. After printing, take out the type blocks and save them for reuse in the next typesetting. This way, there will be no waste, because these type blocks can be removed and used repeatedly, so it is called movable type printing.”

After Yunxi finished speaking, he raised the paper that had just been printed in his hand, on which were printed the eight characters of 'Fortune is like the East China Sea, Shoubi Nanshan'.

Liu Che was shocked to see what she did. These things completely subverted his cognition of the past 30 years.First, he had paper that could replace the bamboo slips, and then he had such a magical book, and now he told him that no one needs to copy the books, just print them directly...

Liu Che felt that his brain was not enough.It took a while to recover from the shock, and looked at Yun Xi with complicated eyes, "Yun Xi, you made all of these...?"

Yun Xi smiled slightly, "At first I just had this idea, but after I tried it out, it turned out to be successful. What? Is this gift what you want?"

Liu Che heard her talking about the gifts, and then remembered that these were Yunxi's birthday presents for him.She gave it to herself without hesitation, something that could subvert a dynasty.

She can give these to the Yan family and make the Yan family better. After all, most people do this. Good things will never be passed on, otherwise they will be sinners of the family.Or keep it for decades, and then take it out after Heng'er ascends the throne to help him secure the throne.he believes, regardless

Whoever takes out these things will leave a heavy mark in history, but Yun Xi gave them all to him, and kept them from being known, the purpose is to give him the credit.

Liu Che's mood was a bit complicated. Although he also liked Yunxi, he couldn't be as unreserved as her.She must have loved herself so much that she gave everything so foolishly.

"Ding! The favorability of the emperor +5."

Yun Xi, what should I do with you for being so affectionate?
That's all, with him protecting her for the rest of her life, she will not be wronged!
You allow me to be affectionate, and I will protect you for the rest of your life.
