The Royal Printing Office is located in the northeast corner of the outer court of the imperial palace and specializes in replenishing books for Jixian Hall and providing books to the royal family.
Jixian Hall, also known as Jixian Academy, is the largest book collection institution in the Tang Dynasty, and has the functions of editing and reading.
However, there are not many people who can borrow books from Jixian Hall, so the books are rarely damaged. The Royal Printing Office usually only provides some books to the royal family, and it is considered a very small office in the palace.
But since the birth of newspapers, Li Shimin has left the printing of newspapers to the Royal Printing Bureau.
Including newspaper layout and final draft are completed here.
In the printing office, Xu Jingzong looked at the manuscript that had just been delivered and said unhappily: "Didn't I tell you before that you are not allowed to write anything related to He Yu?"
"Yes, I will let them change it now," said the official who delivered the manuscript.
Xu Jingzong nodded and said: "Tell them, as long as it is related to He Yu, no matter whether it is good or bad, they are not allowed to write."
How could he not understand the little thoughts of those people? They just watched him write a few articles and were praised by Li Shimin, and thought that if his articles could be valued by Li Shimin, he would rise to the top?
Seeing that He Yu's incident is causing quite a stir, these people are thinking of writing some bad things about He Yu to win Li Shimin's praise.
Although Xu Jingzong had not been in charge of the newspaper for a long time, he knew that Li Shimin valued the newspaper and was very attentive to the newspaper.
During this time, he discovered an interesting phenomenon. As long as an article is published in a newspaper, the protagonist in it will receive a lot of attention.
Now that He Yu's incident has caused such a big fuss, Xu Jingzong guessed that Li Shimin must want to calm down the turmoil as soon as possible.
If this matter is published about He Yu, no matter whether it is good or bad, it will attract a lot of attention, and it will also draw more people's attention to He Yu's death.
Xu Jingzong was a little disdainful. Those people only wanted to flatter him, but they didn't know that they flattered the horse's hooves.
"Sir, your Majesty's Eunuch Zhang is here with the Marquis of Jingyang County." A young boy came in and said.
Xu Jingzong quickly asked: "Where is the person now?"
"Come back, sir, we are almost at the door." the boy said.
"Hurry up and ask someone to prepare tea, and I will go and greet you personally." Xu Jingzong ordered.
If Lin Xuan were alone, although Xu Jingzong would go to greet him, he would not be so cautious.
Although Lin Xuan was the consort and was also valued by Li Shimin, Xu Jingzong did not want to get too close to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan has a shallow foundation and has offended a wealthy family. If he gets too close to Lin Xuan and is labeled as Lin Xuan, it will be detrimental to his future development.
But it was different when Eunuch Zhang was accompanying him, which meant that Lin Xuan came here on orders.
Although he still didn't know what Lin Xuan's purpose was for coming here this time, he still had to show the proper attitude.
Xu Jingzong came to the door of the bookstore and soon saw Eunuch Zhang and Lin Xuan walking over.
Xu Jingzong took a few steps forward, cupped his hands and said, "I have met the Marquis of Jingyang County, and I have met Eunuch Zhang."
Lin Xuan returned the salute and said with a smile: "Master Xu, you are too polite."
To say that Changsun Wuji is an old man, Xu Jingzong in front of him is not much better.
For such people, Lin Xuan has always believed in a way of communicating without deep friendship and without offending.
"Oh, we are just a slave, how can we be treated as such a gift from a master?" Eunuch Zhang returned the gift with a smile on his face.
Xu Jingzong smiled and said: "The lower official has asked someone to prepare tea. The Marquis of Jingyang County, Eunuch Zhang, is here to invite you."
"Sir Xu, we still need to go back to recover our lives, so we won't go in. We are here this time to convey His Majesty's oral instructions." Eunuch Zhang said.
Xu Jingzong bowed and said: "My lord, Xu Jingzong, listen respectfully to the holy words."
"His Majesty ordered Xu Jingzong to obey the orders of the Marquis of Jingyang County."
Xu Jingzong was stunned for a moment, then he quickly came to his senses and said respectfully: "I obey your order."
"His Majesty's oral instructions have been delivered, and we will go back to resume our duties. Prince Consort, Mr. Xu, we have to take our leave." Eunuch Zhang said with a salute to Lin Xuan.
He could be more casual with Xu Jingzong, but he didn't dare to deal with Lin Xuan.
As the eunuchs around Li Shimin, as long as they did not make mistakes, the princes and ministers could not do anything to them. On the contrary, those people treated them very politely.
But Lin Xuan is different, he is Princess Changle's consort.
If Princess Changle said anything about them in front of the emperor and empress, their lives might be lost at any time.
"Eunuch Zhang, walk slowly."
After Eunuch Zhang left, Xu Jingzong cupped his hands and said, "Master Marquis, please come inside."
"Master Xu, you're welcome, let's come together."
Lin Xuan did not ask for help and invited Xu Jingzong to go with him.
Xu Jingzong did not refuse, and the two entered the bookmaking office side by side.
…
Although Li Lizhi entered the palace behind Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan was led by the palace eunuchs and could enter the palace after inspection.
Although Li Lizhi is a princess, after getting married, she cannot enter and leave the palace at will.
Normally, a married princess is no different from those royal wives. Without the queen's order, if they want to see the queen, they need to submit a greeting card. Only after the queen agrees can they enter.
After Empress Changsun received Li Lizhi's invitation, she knew the purpose of Li Lizhi's visit. She sighed inwardly and asked someone to bring Li Lizhi in.
"The sons and ministers meet the mother and the queen!" Li Lizhi saluted. (To explain here, many people question whether Li Lizhi calls his sons and ministers in front of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, and Empress Changsun calls her ministers and concubines in front of Li Shimin. I have missed a lot of information, whether it is the prince or the princess.
, in front of the emperor, they all call her "son", "son" means son or daughter, "chen" is easy to understand. Some people also say that when the minister's wife met the emperor, she called herself "concubine", and the queen also called herself "concubine", feeling that Empress Changsun was in front of Li Shimin.
You shouldn’t call yourself a concubine. But the author checked the information and found that the queen called herself a concubine in front of the emperor, because the queen is both a minister and a concubine. And when a minister’s wife calls her a minister’s concubine, it means the minister’s wife. Although it is the same, the meaning is different. So everyone
Don’t worry about this.)
Empress Changsun waved her hand and said: "Without courtesy, come to the queen mother."
Li Lizhi came to Queen Changsun. Queen Changsun pulled her to sit beside her and said, "The Queen knows why you came. To be honest, the Queen is very disappointed in you."
"Mother, I..."
Just as Li Lizhi was about to explain, Empress Changsun interrupted her and said: "My mother should have taught you that as a woman, you only need to help a man manage the inner house so that he has no worries. You are worried about Lin Xuan, but what about his parents?
?His parents are also worried, have you ever comforted them?"
Empress Changsun didn’t just talk about it, she also did it herself.
When Li Shimin planned to launch the Xuanwu Gate Incident, although he didn't tell her, as a person beside him, he was more or less aware of it.
At that time, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Lizhi were still young, and Empress Changsun knew very well what the consequences would be if Li Shimin failed.
But Empress Changsun did not persuade Li Shimin to give up.
