Hearing the sound, Tang Ji turned around and glanced at the palace door, only to see a somewhat panicked little eunuch leaning in from the outside.
"Your Majesty, the Queen wishes to see you."
After the Long case, Emperor Ning frowned. The queen of a country actually shouted like a shrew. If word spread, it would be a disgrace to the royal family. Thinking of what Li Jiaze had done, he waved his sleeves and said coldly: "
Let her wait outside the palace!"
"Yes." The little eunuch responded, then turned around and planned to lead someone to stop him.
Emperor Ning pinched the center of his eyebrows a little upset, raised his eyes and happened to look at Tang Ji, only to find that there was still a smile on his face. He said angrily: "It's all you who caused the trouble, and you still have the nerve to smile. Before, I
Didn’t I tell you to be more peaceful on weekdays?"
"I didn't know you were His Majesty before!" Tang Ji muttered softly.
Emperor Ning stared at him closely: "Huh?"
"Ahem!" Tang Ji quickly raised his hand to his lips, coughed twice, and continued: "I know I was wrong, and I will definitely remember your Majesty's teachings."
"I hope you can really remember it." Emperor Ning withdrew his gaze and did not think about this matter again. He asked instead: "I heard that you have mastered the method of book engraving, but you opened a bookshop to make huge profits? Do you know that if this method is widely used?
And how many talents can it cultivate for our country, Ning?"
Tang Ji pursed his lips. This topic jumped too much. Why did it jump to the bookstore all of a sudden?
Having said that, this dog emperor is too shameless. Although printing belongs to all mankind, he was the first to create it in this world. Why should he hand it over? Besides, there is no copyright for the work at the moment. If printing is used again
If it spreads, who knows how many pirated books will appear, then he will still make a lot of money.
Therefore, before his Jiran business circle is built, he must not hand over printing technology.
Thinking of this, he rolled his eyes slightly, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why I do not hand over the printing technology is for the future of Ning State!"
After hearing his words, Emperor Ning showed a puzzled expression: "What do you mean by this?"
Tang Ji raised his eyebrows slightly and explained: "Firstly, the printing method I have mastered is not yet proficient, and it still needs to be improved. Even if it spreads, the price of book printing will not be very cheap; secondly, if the printing method is
If it spreads to other countries, it will not only cultivate talents for Ningguo, but also cultivate talents for other countries; thirdly, I plan to spread Jiran Bookstore throughout Ningguo in the future, which will also provide convenience to poor students; and
Fourth, your majesty should not listen to the slanderous words of the villain. There is no huge profit in the bookstore, and the tax money that should be paid is not bad. Tang Ji is your majesty's minister, so naturally he will not evade taxes, but if others master the printing technology,
Maybe he will really seek personal gain from it. In summary, I have decided not to hand over the printing technology. I hope your Majesty will learn from it!"
After hearing his answer, Emperor Ning touched his chin and began to think deeply.
Bai Chang nodded thoughtfully. This brat was very sharp-tongued and eloquent. No wonder His Highness Prince You seemed to be a changed person after he came back from Huaizhou. He actively spoke in the court and even had a verbal battle with the censor.
At this moment, before Emperor Ning could finish thinking, a figure broke in from outside the palace, and the eunuchs on both sides could not stop him.
"Queen, you, you can't go in..."
The queen ignored her and rushed into the palace with tears in her eyes. She knelt down on the ground with a bang and said in a sob: "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for Ze'er. Tang Ji was disrespectful to Ze'er last time, and again this time."
The following criminal pushed Ze'er into the Qingling River. If the eunuchs and imperial troops had not rescued him in time, Ze'er would have been killed by him. If His Majesty did not punish such a rebellious and lawless person, how would the royal family's face be saved?
"
Hearing this, Emperor Ning's anger that had dissipated rose again: "Now that you dare to break into the imperial study, do you still take me, the emperor, seriously? You have to mention the face of the royal family to me. This royal family..."
But halfway through his words, he found Tang Jizheng standing watching with interest. He coughed, waved his hand and said, "Tang Ji, please step aside first."
In an instant, the queen suddenly raised her head and looked at the man in Tsing Yi beside her. She had just been looking for His Majesty to accuse Tang Ji, but she didn't notice that there was someone else next to her, and she didn't expect that she would see him in such an embarrassing state. The key is that His Majesty
Why did you let him leave when you clearly heard what you said?
Tang Ji stood up straight, saluted and said, "I'm sorry, I'm leaving."
Immediately, he turned around and left, not forgetting to glance at the woman beside him with his peripheral vision.
A loving mother often loses her children. No wonder Li Jiaze became that virtuous. It turned out that he was spoiled by such a mother. At this time, he also believed Li Yu's description of Li Qin's childhood. He shook his head and walked straight out of the palace.
go.
Soon, the imperial study room became quiet. Emperor Ning sat on the dragon chair, stared at the queen for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't I let Ze'er face the wall for a month? Now that the time has not come, why did he come out?"
Hearing Emperor Ning's question, the queen couldn't help but lower her head, clasped her hands together, and said hesitantly: "I am a concubine, I am a concubine..."
Seeing that she was speechless, Ning Huang slammed the table: "Tell me again, how have you taught Ze'er these years? He has bad conduct, bullies others with power, bullies the weak and fears the strong... He
There is no such thing as a prince, and those who don’t know better think that I am raising a bandit in this imperial city!”
Seeing this, the queen hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I know my fault. However, Tang Ji frequently caused troubles and did not take the royal family seriously at all. Your Majesty, you cannot do this just because he offered the policy of agricultural reform."
Indulge him, he..."
"Shut up!" Emperor Ning interrupted her bluntly and said coldly: "What? The queen is not satisfied with sitting in the position of the harem master. Do you want me to give up the throne to you?"
"Your Majesty, you have to take care of your dragon body!" Bai Chang stepped forward quickly and comforted her, then glanced at the Queen secretly.
The Queen has always been smart and intelligent, how could she say such stupid words to contradict His Majesty today?
Hearing this, the queen trembled all over and shook her head suddenly: "I don't mean that, I also think about your majesty..."
"Okay, it's not your harem's turn to take care of the affairs of the court." Emperor Ning waved his hand and continued: "Bai Chang, according to my decree, King Hao Li Jiaze has lost his character and will enter the Zongzong Temple from now on.
I will study in Deyuan for one year, during which I will be supervised by Li Han, the young minister of Zongzheng Temple, and Cao Song, the doctor of Guozijian."
"Yes!" Bai Chang bowed in return.
"Your Majesty, Ze'er is still a child, you can't do this!" The queen showed sadness on her face and burst into tears.
Emperor Ning looked calm and did not leave any room for negotiation: "I have made up my mind, please step back."
Immediately, the Queen slumped on the spot, raised her eyes to look at him, and found that Emperor Ning had already started to read the memorial, so she had to stand up slowly, saluted, and walked slowly out of the palace, but she had just left the Imperial Study Room,
Then he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the tears from his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "You have changed!"
