Chapter 25

Li Zhi returned to the palace from Qin Huaidao's mansion, and was very lonely and unwilling to accept it. He knew that what Li Shimin feared the most was the aristocratic family. At the same time, their Li family was also a family family.

But now there are so many aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty that can directly threaten the safety of the Li family's throne. Therefore, the aristocratic families are Li Shimin's confidant.

In Li Zhi's opinion, if there are paper, there are books and books. Children from poor families in the world can study, participate in the imperial examination, become officials, and change the current officials of the Tang Dynasty. Eighty or ninety-ninety percent of the families are from aristocratic families.

After Li Zhi returned to the palace, he sat on the tea set, drinking tea while thinking about this matter, even if Li Shimin came in, he didn't notice it.

"Zhinu, what are you thinking?" Li Shimin saw Li Zhi sitting there and was a little bit strange, so he asked.

"Ah, Father, I have seen Father!" Li Zhi heard Li Shimin's voice, looked up and found that Li Shimin was already standing beside him. He quickly stood up and saluted and said.

"Pingsheng, what's wrong? Are you feeling sick?" Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi worriedly and asked.

"No, I'm just thinking about something!" Li Zhi stood up and shook his head and said,

Li Shimin nodded, then took the notebook next to him and started reading it. He knew that Li Zhi had been going to Boping's mansion these days. Every night, Li Shimin would come over to check Li Zhi's notes.

At this moment, Li Shimin attached great importance to what Qin Huaidao said, and also wanted to know how Li Zhi would break the deadlock in the imperial examination. Nowadays, more than 90% of the imperial examinations passed the imperial examination are all aristocratic families.

Li Shimin has always wanted to change this situation. He hopes to find a solution from Qin Huaidao's conversation.

Li Shimin did not care about Li Zhi, but took the notebook recorded by Li Zhi and looked carefully. After reading it, Li Shimin raised his head and looked at Li Zhi sitting there drinking tea, and found that Li Zhi was in deep thought again.

"Zhinu, why is it that the matter of writing paper is gone? Do you have to talk about it tomorrow?" Li Shimin asked Li Zhi.

"Ah? Oh! I've talked about it. Paper is the key to limiting the imperial examinations, and the key is the innovation of craftsmen, the innovation of paper!" Li Zhi looked up at Li Shimin and replied, while also renovating tea for Li Shimin.

"I know, this statement is correct. Every day, everyone is for profit, and the whole world is for profit. For the people at the bottom, if there is no benefit, they will not do things. Of course, the same is true for the court!" Li Shimin nodded and agreed with Qin Huaidao's statement.

"Yes, but, hey!" Li Zhi sat there and sighed.

"I think you are thinking about it, what's wrong?" Li Shimin saw Li Zhi like this, so he naturally knew that Li Zhi was in a bad mood. There must be something wrong, so he put down his notebook, stared at Li Zhi and asked.

"Father, I, hey!" Li Zhi said to the point where he still didn't say anything. He didn't want to betray Qin Huaidao,

Qin Huaidao has given him a positive answer today, that is, paper, cheap paper, he can make it, but he dare not put it out. If he says it himself, it would betray Qin Huaidao, and Qin Huaidao treats himself as a good brother!

But Li Zhi was also very clear that scholars in the Tang Dynasty needed paper, and the Tang Dynasty also needed poor families to enrich themselves. The Tang Dynasty also needed to eliminate the influence of those aristocratic families, and paper was the key.

"If you have anything, just say, why should you hesitate and act like a daughter?" Li Shimin saw Li Zhi like this and immediately stared at him and started talking.

"Father, I have something unknown to me. Please answer my father!" Li Zhi stood up at this moment and bowed to Li Shimin and asked.

"You said!" Li Shimin nodded and looked at Li Zhi.

"Father, if there is one thing that concerns the poor children of the world and the country of the Tang Dynasty, but this matter involves the safety of my best friend, should the sons say it or not?" Li Zhi stood there and asked respectfully to Li Shimin.

"It's related to the safety of my Tang Dynasty?" Li Shimin heard it and squinted at Li Zhi.

"It's not that kind of direct safety, but an indirect impact!" Li Zhi quickly explained to Li Shimin.

"Oh, what did Boping say again? You don't have a record?" Li Shimin knew that Li Zhi was talking about Qin Huaidao, so he asked directly.

"Father, please answer my question first!" Li Zhi stood there, still holding hands, hoping that Li Shimin could answer him because he was hesitant now.

"It depends on what's going on. It's related to Boping's safety. I think that as long as he doesn't rebel, no one can kill him, right? I'm still here!" Li Shimin sat there and spoke.

"That's right, but, Father, will you really protect him?" Li Zhi continued to look at Li Shimin boldly and asked.

"Huh?" Li Shimin stared at Li Zhi coldly at this moment. The question was a bit of the meaning behind it.

Li Shimin was very upset when he heard this.

"Don't misunderstand my father. This matter is of great importance. I asked, Father, can you protect his safety?

He is very concerned about this matter now, so I am hesitant to say this matter now. I don’t know if I want to tell my father. If I don’t say it, I am sorry for my royal child, I am sorry for my identity as your son, and I am sorry for the identity of a scholar.

It’s said that I’m sorry to Boping and even confronting him to the disadvantage. Therefore, I’m very distressed now!” Li Zhi stood there, bowed his hand to Li Shimin, with a very painful expression.

"What exactly is it that makes you so embarrassed?" Li Shimin was also curious. Is there such a major thing? Why don't he know?

"Father, son minister, son minister cannot say it yet! Ask father to answer the question of son minister, if the son minister said, can the father protect Boping's comprehensiveness?

The son agreed to Boping and understood Boping's concerns. If there was no strong support, telling this matter would be like Boping to be refusal!" Li Zhi still didn't give up, and he still felt that he could not be sorry for Qin Huaidao.

Li Shimin sat there, looking at Li Zhi tightly, thinking in his mind, what exactly is and why it is so important. Thinking about what Li Zhi said just now, for the sake of the poor scholars in the world, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Paper, Boping made paper?"

"Ah?" Li Zhi heard this and looked at Li Shimin in shock.

"Is it true? Did Boping really make the paper?" Li Shimin stared at Li Zhi and asked,

Li Zhi didn't dare to answer, he was still very hesitant.

Li Shimin took a deep breath, then looked at Li Zhi and said, "If Boping made a piece of paper, I will definitely protect him. Zhinu. If this is the case, it is right for you to say it. The aristocratic families pose too much threat to us. If the influence of the aristocratic families on the court cannot be eliminated, our Tang Dynasty will be unstable after all, so, you need to tell the truth to your father in this matter!"

Li Zhi heard it and was still thinking about it, but he also knew that he could not hide it anymore, and Li Shimin had already guessed it.

"Zhinu, Bo Ping is cautious. His father knows it. He dares not let it go. It makes sense. He is afraid, and it is right.

But the father can give him this promise. As long as he can make out the paper, I will surely guarantee him peace for life!" Li Shimin continued to persuade Li Zhi, saying, hoping that Li Zhi could tell the truth to himself, rather than hide it.

Li Zhi thought about it for a while and knew that he could not hide it anymore, so he could only sigh and say, "Zhinu can only do something to betray his brother once, hey!"

"This is not called betrayal. I have always hoped that this paper can be innovated. If there is innovation and a large amount of paper can be created, then the way out of the poor scholars of the Tang Dynasty will change!" Li Shimin advised Li Zhi,

Li Zhi nodded. Of course he knew this, so he was hesitating, otherwise he would have helped Qin Huaidao hide this secret.

"Father, Qin Huaidao told me that he could make it, which is very certain, but I just don't know. If the father asked, would he still say that?

After all, we don’t see such paper now! I can only say that he has the ability to make it out!" Li Zhi mustered up the courage and looked at Li Shimin and said,

When Li Shimin heard this, he nodded and asked, "When is it?"

"Ah?" Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this.

The old eunuch behind him came immediately, lowered his head and responded, "Just hour just passed, and it's already Xu hour!"

"Well, come here!" Li Shimin thought about it. It was still early and he could still go to Qin Huaidao's mansion.

"Yes!" Two guards came in from the door.

"Call Cheng Chusi to come here!" Li Shimin said to the guards at the door, and the guards immediately left.

After a while, Cheng Chusi came in and met Li Shimin. He didn't know what Li Shimin had to do with him at this time.

"Go and notify the Prime Minister Fang, Duke Wei, Duke E, Duke Xun, Duke Bao, Duke Kui, Duke British, and Duke British went to Duke Yi Qin Huaidao. If they arrived first, they would be outside. Don't inform Boping in advance!" Li Shimin stood there, and said with his hands behind his back.

"Ah, Your Majesty? Go out at this time? Go to Boping's side?"

"Don't ask so much, go quickly!" Li Shimin saw Cheng Chusi wanting to inquire, and immediately stared at Cheng Chusi and whispered.

"Yes, I will send someone to inform you immediately!" Cheng Chusi lowered his head and withdrew, and then arranged the guards to start notifying the mansions of those people, and let them go to Qin Huaidao's mansion.

I couldn't help but worry about why something happened again. I haven't heard any rumors outside recently. Moreover, Qin Huaidao basically doesn't leave the mansion. I just heard Li Shimin's tone, but I was not very kind.
