Li Xiuning had nothing to say. One of the reasons she entered the palace today was to present a seal, and the second reason was to ask for people.
After the two goals were achieved, she did not stay in the palace for a long time. The Queen was quite fierce and could not be bullied. She could feel this after visiting the palace several times.
Especially this time, she almost broke her waist, but luckily she didn't get slapped in the face, otherwise she wouldn't be able to go to the Tai Chi Palace, and would have to leave the palace in a state of disgrace and stay in the mansion for a few days.
However, it is not that she has gained nothing. When she came to serve, the most difficult thing was actually the Empress. With a few punches and kicks, the matter was solved, which was worth it.
In addition, she has left all the daily affairs of Mrs. Chu's house in the hands of her sister-in-law.
Changsun Wujiu had sworn to her, but he could not completely win her trust. However, the two of them met frankly a few times, which enhanced their mutual trust.
And with Changsun Wujiu's identity and age, it was impossible to accompany him to the palace, even if it was made public, let alone competing for favor. After thinking about this clearly, Li Xiuning finally felt at ease and left the family affairs to Changsun Wujiu.
In the hands of the blame.
With the help of others, Li Xiuning feels much lighter. She feels that this is not bad. She can always keep her lover tied to her for a few more years, until the two of them are over forty...
It won't be too late to choose a young and beautiful person from the Li clan.
Changsun Wujiu opened a skylight for her, her "eyesight" suddenly broadened, and her bottom line showed a straight downward trend.
That is to say, the women in the mansion are older and each has their own family background. If she goes too far, it will easily cause big trouble. Otherwise, she may bring the women over one by one and let her lover choose.
People are like this, especially nobles. Once they break through their inherent boundaries, there will be a bottomless pit below. This is because their elders and people around them have been here like this. Some things have been familiar to them since they were young.

It was also a coincidence that Li Zirou, the secretary and young prisoner, entered the Tai Chi Hall that afternoon.
On behalf of the Secretary-General, he came to the palace to report to the emperor the final work after the abolition of the Imperial College, because the Imperial College had a very important function, which was to compile literature and history for the imperial court, and it was also the publishing house of the day.
For example, the final publication of He's artifacts was presided over by the Imperial College. After printing, it was distributed to booksellers for sale. This was the case in all dynasties and was not unique to the Tang Dynasty.
Many teaching materials used to educate children, as well as interpretations of the Four Books and Five Classics, newly compiled texts, or texts issued by the government, and writings by literary giants were published by the Imperial College.
It's almost like a national publishing house, and it publishes serious reading materials.
Other writings or articles that are not favored by the court will be published and distributed by the booksellers themselves. Unless those that slander the government, rebel against history, etc. are known to the court, the relevant persons will inevitably be severely punished.
However, starting from the Han Dynasty, due to the backward printing technology and the huge workload of copying, something called the Stone Classic was produced.
That is to say, craftsmen were asked to carve the text on a piece of stone and people were allowed to rub it on their own, thus solving the problem of rapid dissemination of some classic works.
With the movable type printing technology in the Tang Dynasty, there was basically no need to do this. However, if the court gathered a lot of literati and wrote a magnificent work, then the Stone Scripture would come in handy again, because it would have a more ceremonial feel.
After the abolition of the Imperial College, the secretary provincial capital took over this function as a matter of course.
From the end of the fourth year of Yuanzhen, the imperial court officially published He's artifacts and conducted a wave of publicity. Later, the emergence of movable type printing and bamboo paper all contributed to this.
In the sixth year of Yuan Zhen's reign, the Imperial College published three works, the first of which was Gai Wenda's Commentary on the Spring and Autumn Annals, which was subsequently included in the Imperial College and Chang'an Academy as a required reading for students.
This kind of operation was a relatively blatant use of power for personal gain, so the Imperial College then published a military book, which included the writings of some famous generals of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Among them, the ones placed in front are one volume of Yinfuji written by Li Jing, three volumes of Six Army Realm, and one volume of King's Book of Accounts. The intention is very obvious.
When literati do such things, they always give people a feeling of being unwilling to accept something, being secretive and sneaky.
When the two Gaiwenda brothers did something bad, these were all revealed and became one of their crimes. Gaiwenda's Spring and Autumn Commentary was also criticized completely, and was subsequently removed from the textbook catalog of Chang'an Academy.
.
This kind of bad thing was not uncommon in this world, but it became more common later on, so there is no need to say more here.
…………
At this time, Li Po looked a little dizzy looking at the books placed on the bed.
The Secretary-General had not yet completely taken over the printing and distribution functions of the Imperial College, but he immediately took action.
What Li Zirou presented were several masterpieces that the Secretary Superintendent planned to publish this year, and what was placed in front of Li Po were the prologues of these works for the emperor's inspection.
The first one is "Beitang Shuchao" written by the author Lang Yu Shinan. This is a book written by Yu Shinan after nearly ten years of hard work and joint efforts since he served as Secretary of the Ministry of Finance.
Comprehensive literature.
It can be said that Yu Shinan has been writing since he returned to Chang'an.
Many people died in the Yu family, but Yu Shinan survived. He was so disheartened that he hardly paid attention to foreign affairs and only concentrated on writing in the Secretariat.
Beitang refers to the back hall of the Secretary Department, where Yu Shinan works.
Nowadays, "Beitang Shuchao" has a total of twelve parts, one hundred and two volumes, with more than 700 categories, including emperor's biography, biography, etiquette, clothing, poetry collection and miscellaneous notes, etc.
In Yu Shinan's own words, this is far from complete and can only be regarded as a phased achievement. Taking this opportunity to send it to the imperial court, he wanted to let the emperor take a look first. If he approved, he wanted the imperial court to send more personnel to help him.
Complete the writing as soon as possible.
For this reason, last year he asked Chu Liang, who was far away in Jinyang, to write a preface, clearly explaining the purpose of this masterpiece. To put it simply, it was to impart knowledge and prepare for further investigation.
This is undoubtedly a pioneering literary work in the world. Few people are willing to do such a thankless job, because there is no room for them to use their talents and knowledge. They just summarize the previous works and give some points.
Just an evaluation.
It is very similar to the later literature search. With this document, those who are interested in learning can roughly know what books to read, which direction to develop, etc. just by reading it.
Under Li Zirou's explanation, Li Po quickly understood the core purpose of this book...
