Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 142 Unexpectedly
The officials were full of anticipation, waiting for Kong Yingda to speak and scold Li Shimin, but no one expected that when Old Master Kong opened his mouth, what he said was this.

When the officials and censors saw Kong Yingda speak, they occasionally read one or two words and opened their mouths to laugh, but after listening to Kong Yingda's words, these people suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.

No one expected that it was not Li Shimin who Kong Yingda spoke to, but the speaker and censor who had just reprimanded Wu Meiniang.

Not only the officials and censors were stunned, but Li Shimin, Hou Junji, the warrior Xun and others were also stunned. Li Fu even kept rubbing his ears, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

However, this is not over yet, Kong Yingda continued: "You bastards are all 50 or [-] years old, and you have lived to the belly of a dog. What's wrong with you little girl, you are so tossing around every day?"

"I don't even look at the little girl, since she took charge of the paper making department and the printing department, how my Datang paper making and printing industry is thriving!"

"Have you all gone to the streets to see that there are papers and books from Tiance Mansion everywhere in the current Chang'an City. There are countless poor scholars in the Tang Dynasty, and the paper and books they read today are all from Tiance Mansion. The government’s Papermaking Department and Printing Department!”

"The old man is here to ask, if the paper making department and the printing department are under your jurisdiction, can they create such an unprecedented grand occasion in such a short period of time?"

Kong Yingda's words were heartbreaking, every single word was like a heavy punch, which slammed into the hearts of those officials and censors.

No one dared to refute, the faces of the officials and censors instantly turned into liver-colored, no one expected that this would happen.

Li Shimin just wanted to clap his hands and say hello, but a few words came from his mind, which made him shiver.

【Yohoo, I never expected that it was Old Man Kong who helped Wu Meiniang. This is really interesting. 】

[Looking at it this way, as long as Li Er doesn't mess around and irritate the officials and censors, I believe Kong Yingda alone can easily solve the immediate troubles. 】

【Oh, then I'm here for nothing today, I don't have to worry about Wu Meiniang at all, alas, what a waste! 】

Thinking in his heart, Li Fu had already closed his eyes, leaned against the Panlong pillar in the court hall, and began to doze off.

Li Shimin couldn't help but glanced at Li Fu, seeing that his son really started to sleep standing up again, he suddenly became angry!

As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and the heir apparent of a country, he couldn't be more diligent every day. Like Kong Yingda, why did he have to be an idle fish?

However, Li Shimin took Li Fu's heartfelt opinion very seriously, but it was not suitable to applaud him right now. In this way, old man Kong alone could stand up to all the critics of Wu Meiniang in the court.

Kong Yingda is an old man, although pedantic, but as the world's leading scholar, his thoughts sometimes determine everything.

It is also because after Wu Meiniang took charge of the two divisions, she produced cheap writing paper and cheap books, which brought benefits to poor students. Old man Kong saw and kept these in his heart.

Therefore, of course, Old Man Kong would not let the spokesperson of the family continue to criticize Wu Meiniang. Even Old Man Kong himself admitted that a ten-year-old girl is not suitable to be an official in the court, but in the end it is still not worth the sentence The words of a saint!

Seeing that the officials and censors were silent, Kong Yingda sneered, "Wu Meiniang was recommended by the crown prince, which proves that the crown prince has a unique vision. The sage said that if three people walk together, there must be my teacher!"

"From now on, all the students from the poor families in the Shilin will regard His Royal Highness as the master of the generation!"

What the hell?the Grand Master?Tai Chi is still... Li Fu shuddered and stared at Kong Yingda with wide eyes.

[Old guy, what are you playing with? Labor and management have done nothing. Why do you regard me as your master? 】

[This is too exaggerated, are you trying to push me to the front to block mines?Isn't it, somehow became the master of the humble family? 】

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair on the high platform, was quite unconvinced when he heard what Kong Yingda said. The prince is just an idle fish, so why should he be regarded as a master?I work hard for the people, and Wu Meiniang is also the head of the two divisions that I pardoned, why didn't I hear him regard myself as the master!
It's true that people compare themselves to others, and it's pissing off. It's his own son, otherwise Li Shimin would really feel reconciled.

On the other side, Kong Yingda continued to say: "Wu Meiniang learned papermaking and printing techniques from His Highness the Crown Prince, so that she can develop the papermaking department and printing department for the benefit of poor scholars all over the world!"

"So it is natural that I am respected by the poor students in the world. As the master of the poor students, the old man must protect Wu Meiniang!"

Buzz——Kong Yingda's words were like a heavy bomb, and the whole room was blown up.

No one expected that Kong Yingda would choose to express his opinion at such a time, obviously he was going to be serious.

What I just said has already made it clear that if there is anyone in the court who still goes his own way and continues to target Wu Meiniang, then he is the enemy of Kong Yingda and the enemy of the poor people in the world!

The officials and censors suddenly felt cold. Everyone was afraid of becoming an enemy of Kong Yingda. After all, this old man represented not only the poor scholars in the world, but also the Confucian family and even the entire Confucianism!

Kong Yingda is a descendant of Confucius who is serious about the Eight Classics. With this one signboard, no one with five surnames and seven kings dare to make a mistake.

Li Shimin suppressed a smile, and his heart settled down. Just now, he was thinking about how to refute those officials and censors, but Kong Yingda said a few words, and everyone died down. How could this not make Li Shimin feel happy?
Li Shimin just had to be applauded by the court. Fortunately, Li Fu's inner voice allowed him to maintain the majesty of the emperor. Then he just concluded in a deep voice: "Well, I think what Kong Jijiu said is very reasonable!"

Hou Junji and the warrior Xun behind the crowd also got excited, especially the warrior Xun, "It's beautiful, I thought Kong Jijiu was going to deal with my daughter, but I didn't expect it to help my daughter!"

"That's right, Mei Niang has Kong Jijiu to help her, and her life in the court will be much better from now on!"

At this moment, Hou Junji was really envious of the warrior Xun. His best friend had no political sense, but he never thought that he would give birth to a good daughter, and he would be close to the two big trees of the crown prince and Kong Yingda. !

Think about it, the husband is expensive by the son, but the samurai is borrowing his daughter's wind, and his official career in the future may be better than his own!

On the other hand, Wei Zheng also felt that it was time to make a conclusion about this farce, so he cupped his hands when he stepped out of the class, and said: "What Kong Jijiu said is reasonable, and I, the Great Tang Dynasty, select talents, and we should not stick to one pattern, and should not stick to age and men and women!"

"As long as they are talents who can promote the development of our Tang Dynasty, those who have contributed to our Tang Dynasty should be vigorously promoted. Your Majesty has already made a good start for the capable people in the world. Your Majesty, congratulations. Get a helping hand!"
