Chapter 64: Zoom In
Chapter 64 His Majesty signaled the eunuch next to him to announce the edict. When the eunuch heard it, he immediately stood up and launched the imperial edict.
Qin Huaidao knelt down to receive the imperial edict, and the eunuch read out the imperial edict.
The imperial edict said that Qin Huaidao was Princess Shangchengyang and got married within two years. In addition, Your Majesty also said in the imperial edict that he would establish a princess's mansion for Princess Chengyang!
The imperial edict had just been announced, Qin Huaidao stood up and took over the imperial edict.
The generals were smiling and looking at Qin Huaidao. Yuchi Jingde had made it clear to them before.
Qin Huaidao is currently Princess Shang for the time being, but if Qin Huaidao makes achievements within two years, he can marry the princess!
"Your Majesty, I object to this marriage!" At this moment, a minister stood up.
Qin Huaidao heard this and turned his head to look over, but he didn't know the minister.
His Majesty looked at the minister unhappily.
"Your Majesty, I also object. As a Duke of the Kingdom, Qin Huaidao has no mistress in his house, so he should not marry a princess. Moreover, I heard that Duke Lai, Duke Du Ruhui, had asked someone to talk to His Majesty about marriage, but His Majesty has refused!"
"Your Majesty, as a Duke of the Kingdom, Qin Huaidao has no elders to manage his family. It is inappropriate for Princess Shang Chengyang, and it is even more inappropriate for marrying Princess Chengyang. The princess must not marry, which would be a loss of royal majesty!"
"Your Majesty, this fact is inappropriate. Qin Huaidao definitely cannot marry the princess!"
At this time, dozens of civil officials stood up.
Those who can attend court here are all civil officials of the third rank or above in the dynasty. Now almost half of the officials have stood up.
Qin Huaidao stood there, turning his head to look at the civil servants!
"What's wrong with your majesty? What does your majesty have to do with you?" Yuchi Jingde stood up angrily and shouted at the civil officials.
"It's nonsense. Who will Boping get married? When will it be your turn to ask?" Duke Li Jing of Wei also stood up and stared at the civil officials and said.
"There are no elders to bully Boping? When we are dead?" British Duke Li Ji also stood up and stared at the civil officials and said.
Then all the generals stood up, except Hou Junji!
"Okay, don't argue anymore. This matter is my daughter's marriage and has nothing to do with you!" His Majesty scolded the civil officials.
But those civil officials still refused to give in.
"Your Majesty, the emperor has no selfish affairs. Princess Chengyang can marry other vassal states. Before, Tubo wanted to marry, but Your Majesty did not agree to be betrothed Princess Chengyang, but now he wants to marry a Duke.
Moreover, it is a Duke who has no one in charge in his family. It is very unfavorable for Duke Hu. How can Duke Hu settle down in the future? There is no mistress in the mansion, so there will be no chaos!" A civil servant stood up and bowed to His Majesty and shouted.
"Yes, it's not OK if you marry. What achievements does Qin Huaidao have? How can he compare with Duke Zhao?"
The civil officials did not care about His Majesty's rebuke at all, but continued to object there.
Qin Huaidao stood there and looked at them. Qin Huaidao also knew that these civil officials were from the aristocratic families.
"Cough cough~ Your Majesty, I have something important to report!" Qin Huaidao first coughed twice, attracted the attention of those people, and then bowed to His Majesty and said.
"Oh, let's talk about it!" His Majesty nodded and looked at Qin Huaidao and said.
"Your Majesty, paper is about to be published soon. I think that what the poor children in the world lack the most is actually books, and books are controlled by aristocratic families. It is very difficult for the people to copy them.
I was wondering if there is a simpler way to quickly print books. Of course, I know that it is a woodblock printing now, which is very troublesome, and the speed is still slow.
I want to develop a tool that can quickly print books, so that my students of the Tang Dynasty will no longer lack books in a short period of time!" Qin Huaidao stood there, and after he finished speaking, he bowed to His Majesty.
At this moment, His Majesty stood up in surprise and stared at Qin Huaidao.
The civil officials were also stunned and looked at Qin Huaidao.
"Are you serious?" His Majesty's voice was a little distorted.
Books, the most lacking book in the Tang Dynasty, Qin Huaidao actually said that he would develop new printing tools.
"Yes, I have been developing this for a while. After the paper comes out, I will be dedicated to the development of the home!" Qin Huaidao bowed to His Majesty and said.
"Okay, hahaha, okay, Boping, if you can develop tools to quickly print books, I will be rewarded.
I, I will let Chengyang marry the Duke of Hu's Mansion!" His Majesty stood there excitedly, pointing at Qin Huaidao and said excitedly.
"Thank you, your words are determined, I will definitely develop it!" Qin Huaidao stood there, bowed his hand and said,
He didn't want to let it go, but now he has been attacked by so many civil officials. They really think that they have no temper and can stop him from marrying a wife. How can he let them go?
Since you are already following His Majesty, then go to the end and killing those aristocratic families, it will be safe and no one will mess with you.
"Hmph, who can't brag?" At this moment, a discordant voice came from behind.
Qin Huaidao turned his head and looked over.
"Brave? You underestimate me too much!" Qin Huaidao heard it and sneered.
However, the other civil officials had a very serious expression. No one would have thought that at this time, Qin Huaidao actually proposed to invent new printing tools!
"I wonder how effective is the so-called new printing tool of Mr. Hu?" At this moment, a civil official asked.
"Well, do you want to ask which one is the speed of printing or the type of printing that can be printed every day?" Qin Huaidao asked with a smile as he looked at the civil official.
The civil servant didn't know how to answer, and they had never considered such a thing.
"It's not a big problem to print 10,000 books a day. If you talk about different types, it's still okay to print more than ten or twenty books a day. Each book can be printed with hundreds!" Qin Huaidao continued to smile and said as the civil officials said.
"Impossible!" Many civil officials shook their heads and said it was impossible.
They know the current woodblock printing, which is extremely efficient. In order to carve a plate, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources.
Moreover, if one page or one word is engraved incorrectly, the page will be invalid and needs to be re-engraved, which is very troublesome.
"You will know that it may be impossible!" Qin Huaidao didn't want to compete with them.
Since they have not planned to let them go and think they are easy to bully, it is too unreasonable not to fight back. They don’t cause trouble, but they can’t be afraid of trouble.
"Well, Boping, if it really works as you said, I will be rewarded!" His Majesty said to Qin Huaidao happily.
He still doesn't know if Qin Huaidao can do it, but this is also hopeful, right?
If there is really such a tool, then the aristocratic family will not be afraid.
In less than ten years, the influence of those aristocratic families on the court will gradually be reduced to a minimum.
"Your Majesty, it takes a lot of money to do this!" Qin Huaidao thought for a while, looked at His Majesty and said with a smile.
Since you want to do it, you must get some money first!
"Come, I send 10,000 yuan from my treasury to Duke Hu's mansion. I don't care how you spend this money or whether there is any remaining money. This money is yours now.
If it is made within two years, I will be rewarded with great rewards!" His Majesty said happily.
Your Majesty also knows that this little money is small money. Compared with the improvement in printing efficiency, this money is also small money, and Your Majesty doesn't care at all.
"Thank you, your Majesty, after I made the paper in a few days, I will start to do this printing technique!" Qin Huaidao bowed to His Majesty and said.
"Okay, I'll wait and see!" His Majesty nodded happily, his eyes full of expectation and hope.
However, the generals looked at Qin Huaidao worriedly. They were not worried that the aristocratic family would dare to treat Qin Huaidao, but they were worried that what Qin Huaidao said just now might be really bragging. If they couldn't get it out, it would be troublesome!
"Okay, is there anything else? As for the marriage between Princess Chengyang and Boping, you no longer need to discuss it. I don't want to listen. What does it have to do with my daughter? I will marry you. It's not Shang, marry you!
Okay, I have nothing to do to retreat to the court. By the way, Boping, come to the Ganlu Hall later. In addition, Duke E, Duke Wei, Duke Zhao, Duke England, Duke Liang, and King Hejian, come to the Ganlu Hall together later!"
His Majesty stood up happily and announced his resignation. He didn't want to listen to the troubles of the civil officials. Anyway, Qin Huaidao, this son-in-law, he just wanted it!
"Yes!" Qin Huaidao and the others immediately bowed and said.
They watched His Majesty leave, and then Qin Huaidao walked towards Yuchi Jingde.
"This kid!" Yuchi Jingde patted Qin Huaidao's shoulder, and there was a sad look between his eyebrows.
"Uncle, don't worry, my nephew is sure to win this matter!" Qin Huaidao looked at Yuchi Jingde and said.
"Hmm?" At this moment, Yuchi Jingde, Li Jing, Li Ji and others were all staring at Qin Huaidao.
"But take it seriously?" Hejian King Li Xiaogong couldn't help asking.
"Take it seriously, my nephew thought of it some time ago, there is absolutely no problem!" Qin Huaidao nodded affirmatively.
"Okay, haha, okay, Boping, let it go. I see who dares to stop it. Uncle is still there, and it's not their turn to bully you!" The King of Hejian happily touched his beard and smiled happily.
"Well, Boping is still very steady in doing things. Since you say ok, then uncle will believe it! Let's go to Ganlu Palace!" Yuchi Jingde held Qin Huaidao's hand and spoke.
