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

Chapter 143
Wei Zheng hadn't spoken for a long time since the incident on Chang'an Avenue last time, and when he spoke now, although it was not as important as Kong Yingda just now, it still shocked the audience.

The officials and the censors were like mourning and examining their concubines, but they didn't expect that even Wei Zheng would start praising Li Shimin's stinky feet and agreeing to Wu Meiniang's matter!

Afterwards, Fang Xuanling and others saw that the general situation was settled, so they expressed their opinions one after another, recognizing the fact that Wu Meiniang was an official.

And Wu Meiniang, from the beginning to the end, looked calm and calm.

But in fact, in her young heart, she was extremely excited.

Your Highness the Crown Prince is right, as long as I do my job well, then people will naturally stand up to support me, and those who oppose me are doomed to fail. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, really do not deceive me!

Seeing this, the officials and censors completely withered and returned to their respective trains one by one, daring not to speak again.

After retreating from the court, Wu Meiniang hurriedly came to Kong Yingda and paid homage, "Kong offered wine, thank you very much just now!"

"You did a good job yourself!" Kong Yingda gave a little help, "If the paper-making department and the printing department fall into the hands of those officials, it will only make poor students from all over the world unable to read books and use paper. This old man can still understand."

"You are the only one who can think about the poor students in the world. Girl, you have done a good job. As long as you are willing to keep doing it, I will protect you for a day!"

Hearing the old master Confucius' statement again, all the civil and military officials around were moved, and the faces of the speech officials and the censors turned blue.

But the thing that made this group of people even more unbelievable was that it was still behind. Kong Yingda smiled and said to Wu Meiniang: "Girl, if you want, from now on, you and I will be like grandparents, okay?"

"Hiss..." The surrounding officials gasped when they heard this, and the faces of the officials and the censor turned green.

Kong Yingda wants to recognize Wu Meiniang as her granddaughter?Hou Junji's eye sockets enlarged for a while, and Samurai Xun's mind went blank.

Kong Yingda's status in the Great Tang Shilin is really too high. To be favored by him is something that countless people dream of. is difficult.

But now the daughter of the samurai Xun is unexpectedly favored by Kong Yingda and takes the initiative to recognize her as her goddaughter. This is really like a dream!
Wu Meiniang bowed gracefully, neither humble nor overbearing said: "Kong Jijiu, I need to ask my father about this, please..."

"It should." Kong Yingda interrupted with a wave of his hand, glanced at the warrior Xun, and then said to Wu Meiniang: "It's because I didn't think carefully, and the warrior Xun is your father, so I should ask his opinion."

The samurai Xun stepped forward with an excited expression on his face, first hurriedly greeted Kong Yingda, and then nodded slightly to his daughter.

Seeing that her father agreed, Wu Meiniang quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Kong Yingda, "Grandpa Wanan!"

"Hahaha..." Kong Yingda felt relieved, stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, get up quickly, haha..."

In fact, whether it is papermaking or printing, it has already had a huge impact on Kong Yingda, almost overturning his cognition of the three views over the years.

But Kong Yingda's long-cherished wish throughout his life is to thoroughly carry forward the Confucianism of his ancestor Kong Shengren.

Aristocratic families are doomed to be unreliable. They are self-styled and have no awe of learning at all. In their eyes, nothing but profit is profit, and they can do anything for profit.

Therefore, if Kong Yingda wanted to carry forward the ideas of his ancestors, he could only rely on poor students.

But how to make poor students better understand the knowledge of their ancestors?Naturally or books.

Behind the books, there are actually papermaking and printing, so Confucius sees it very clearly, so he saves Wu Meiniang, and then publicly recognizes her as his granddaughter.

At this point, the officials and censors were completely at a loss. At the level of Kong Yingda, it was not something they could handle, so they hurriedly left the palace and immediately spread the news of what happened in the early dynasty to the ears of the heads of the major families.

The next thing to do is to cause headaches for the patriarch of the aristocratic family. A battle invisible to ordinary people has slowly begun.

But with Kong Yingda's support and the crown prince's backing, no matter how arrogant the aristocratic family is, they would not dare to blatantly embarrass Wu Meiniang, and Wu Meiniang took advantage of this time to expand wantonly.

It is precisely because of the identity of Kong Yingda's granddaughter, coupled with the promotion of Hongwen Museum and Chongwen Museum, that the expanded bookstore opened by Wu Meiniang will be extraordinarily lively every day.

Because there are countless students from poor families who come here every day, all they want is to buy a few pieces of writing paper and affordable books.

The paper quality of the paper making department has already surpassed that of the Shijia Paper Workshop. The most important thing is that it is cheap, not to mention the books. Therefore, the bookstore of the Shijia is very crowded. Li Shimin knows this and is very satisfied.

Students from poor families can read books and buy paper for writing, so they will naturally carry out publicity, which makes the business of the bookstore under the name of Tiance Mansion better and better.

What followed was that Wu Meiniang's reputation among the people was getting better and better.

Just when the papermaking department and the printing department were on the right track, good news from Qinzhou and Songzhou began to spread back to Chang'an city one after another.

The Duke of Wei and the Duke of England are still on the front line at this time, negotiating with Tubo.

After defeating Tubo this time, the next step is naturally to seek benefits from the Tubo people.

Songtsan Gampo saw the power of the Tang army and lost so many people, so he was naturally afraid, and he satisfied the almost harsh demands of Li Jing and Li Ji.

Li Jing and Li Ji also raised Li Fu's request, and Songtsen Gampo also satisfied, so thousands of carefully selected slaves from Tubo were transported to Chang'an, and the transportation fees for this journey were all from Tubo. .

"His Royal Highness, the Duke of Wei has sent a letter. The first batch of Tibetan slaves have arrived ten miles away from Chang'an City!"

When Cao Shaoqin reported to Li Fu, Li Fu was still lying on the hammock, but after Cao Shaoqin finished speaking, he was already standing on the ground, "Go, prepare your horse, and go outside the city!"

"Follow your orders!" Cao Shaoqin rarely saw his master take the initiative to go out. Seeing that his master became serious, he immediately made arrangements. A cavalry team quickly rushed out of the Prince's Mansion, surrounded by a carriage, and headed straight out of the city.

In the carriage, Li Fu was stunned and grinned, but he still looked excited, which made Cao Shaoqin amazed, "Your Highness, it's just a bunch of Tubo slaves, the old slave just go and check it out, why are you..."
