After listening to Yu Shinan's story, Fang Xuanling finally tried to move his eyes away from the leaflet.

His expression also began to become solemn.

How could Xuanling, such a good paper house, not know its value?

It seems... Chen Zhengtai is really arrogant, but he didn't know that at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, everything was in trouble, and he encountered disasters. Under such difficult circumstances, any excessive behavior is harmful to the people of the world.

A big tree attracts wind.

Besides, he is still His Majesty's disciple. He is really brave and actually hit the gun.

Fang Xuanling calmed down his thoughts, put the leaflet aside, and told Yu Shinan in a casual manner.

"Mr. Yu doesn't know that Chen Zhengtai is His Majesty's disciple."

Yu Shinan had just arrived in Beijing from Luoyang and was still unclear about the current situation in the court. At this time, he heard that the person who sent someone to distribute the leaflets was actually His Majesty's newly accepted disciple. He was shocked: "Your Majesty is the king and father of the world, how can there be a favorite minister?"

The so-called disciple in his heart is actually similar to the adopted son and the like. He is just a favored minister of the emperor. Yu Shinan became more and more worried. He frowned and said worriedly: "If you don't stop such behavior, it will cause endless harm. Mr. Fang is in charge of the secret, so how can he let it go? He should follow me and enter the palace to meet immediately."

Fang Xuanling lowered his head and looked at the leaflets beside him, and felt that the situation was serious. This was not a problem with paper, but a problem with the atmosphere.

So, the two met.

When Li Shimin heard that Yu Shinan returned to Beijing, he was overjoyed. He studied calligraphy with Yu Shinan and had a deep relationship with each other.

What's more... Yu Shinan, as a famous contemporary scholar, has always stood firmly on Li Shimin's side.

During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, many great scholars recognized Li Jiancheng, but Yu Shinan insisted on supporting Li Shimin. On the surface, the ones who made the greatest contributions in the Xuanwu Gate Incident were Yuchi Jingde, but in fact... because of Yu Shinan's support, many people had expectations for Li Shimin, especially the gentry in Jiangnan also had some preferences for Li Shimin. This was a timely help for Li Shimin at that time.

Therefore, Li Shimin highly valued Yu Shinan. He knew very well that Yu Shinan was a banner that respected the wise and the inferior, and was a sign that won over the scholars of the world.

Li Shimin happily went out of Xuanzheng Hall to welcome him.

"Donald Yu, don't be fine."

"Erlang's complexion is a little better." Yu Shinan bowed and bowed to Li Shimin.

The king and his ministers did not meet each other for many days, and they all showed joy.

Yu Shinan was old, so Li Shimin helped him into the hall with his own hands and said casually: "Why did Duke Yu return to the capital?"

Yu Shinan replied: "Tokyo is too hot."

Li Shimin said in surprise: "Chang'an has a severe drought and locusts are plaguing. I think Chang'an is already very hot."

Yu Shinan smiled and said, "Please ask Erlang to sit down, I have something to say."

Li Shimin was puzzled and had to sit back to the imperial throne.

But at this time, Yu Shinan had already stopped his smile and looked solemn. He no longer called Li Shimin Erlang, but said with a sermon: "Do Your Majesty still remember the allusion of silk entanglement in the sixth year of Daye?"

Li Shimin immediately understood that this was a need to advise him.

In the sixth year of Daye, when Emperor Yang of Sui was in existence, the envoys from the Western Regions and the Turks went to Luoyang, the eastern capital. In order to show his might and also have the need to intimidate the vassal states, Emperor Yang of Sui made extravagance and even ordered people to wrap silk around the trees to show the wealth of the Great Sui Dynasty.

Emperor Yang of Sui was the king of the country who was destroyed. He was naturally a typical bad guy. Everything he did needed to be criticized and used as a warning.

Whenever I advised me, everyone likes to talk about Emperor Yang of Sui. Li Shimin was very troubled and said kindly: "Of course I have heard of it, why did Mr. Yu say this?"

Yu Shinan sighed and said, "I was in Luoyang at that time and saw this extravagant scene with my own eyes. At that time, Luoyang in the eastern capital was so magnificent, but it also laid the root of disaster for the destruction. Today, I returned to Chang'an from the eastern capital. I just entered the city and saw a similar scene in Taipingfang."

Fang Xuanling, who was standing beside him, did not make any noise.

Li Shimin said in surprise: "When will I let someone wrap a tree with silk?"

The conscience of heaven and earth, am I so generous?

Yu Shinan immediately took out a leaflet: "Your Majesty, is the value of this paper no less than that silk?"

Li Shimin was confused and gave Zhang Qian a wink. Zhang Qian understood and took the paper and carefully delivered it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took the paper, but he still looked suspicious, but the paper was handed over to Li Shimin. Li Shimin only looked down and couldn't help but be amazed.

Compared with the white paper used for royal purposes, this paper also has advantages.

You should know that the white paper used for the royal use is specially coated with a layer of wax, so it is particularly smooth and so it is of great value. Even if you pay tribute from local governments to Chang'an, the amount per year is limited. This price cannot be estimated by money.

Obviously, the paper in front of Li Shimin had not been waxed, but the paper quality was not much different, especially the surface of the paper was as white as snow, and compared with the tribute paper, it was even purer.

Li Shimin frowned: "This paper...well, the price is really not bad. Even if you compare silk, the price is indeed not inferior."

When Li Shimin was not the emperor, he used not the imperial tribute paper, but a kind of hard white paper. Although it is called hard white paper, it is better than hard yellow paper, but in fact... it is still a bit yellow, and the price of that paper is already quite expensive.

Yu Shinan said seriously: "But in Taipingfang, someone took these papers and distributed them everywhere. Such precious treasures are slain. Why don't you look at what is written on this paper? Your Majesty... I am really sad. Now the disaster in Guanzhong is the people who are wandering and suffering. But there is such a luxurious phenomenon in Chang'an City. What is the difference between this and the silk tree wrapped in six years of Daye?"

This is to compare Li Shimin to Emperor Yang of Sui.

Li Shimin's face looked very bad, but... he didn't expect that someone would ruin such expensive paper so much. He remembered that there was something written on the paper, so he lowered his head and turned the paper in his hand. Sure enough, he saw... there were some words written on it: "The Royal Erpigou University Opening a Big Reward, New Enrollment... The tuition fee was reduced by half..."

Buzzing...

Li Shimin was also a person who was used to life and death. At this moment... he felt that his head was blank and he was completely confused.

The words "Royal Erpigou University" came into view and were particularly dazzling.

He suddenly understood something and shouted: "I understand what's going on, it's Chen Zhengtai!"

At this moment, Li Shimin felt that he had been slapped in the face. The one who slapped himself was actually his favorite disciple.

How can I bear this?

I have written the words in this Royal Erpigou University Hall myself.

The most important thing is... Just Chen Zhengtai is just rich, but he is so luxurious.

You are even extravagant in my royal name.

It's outrageous.

Li Shimin opened his tiger's eyes and said sternly: "Send Chen Zhengtai to see you quickly."

"Your Majesty, I have heard of Chen Zhengtai." Yu Shinan's face was particularly serious: "I heard that he was helping the victims, but this son is not bad by nature. However... such behavior also shows that he has a bad side. If this is not instructed by Your Majesty, he would be really hindering. This extravagance is not a good thing after all. I beg Your Majesty to deal with this matter severely."

Li Shimin held his hands behind his back, still looking at the paper... his breathing was heavy.

Such expensive paper.

So expensive.

Look at what is written on it.

It is also distributed everywhere.

Sensationalism.

Li Shimin said sternly: "Of course I won't forgive him easily. I will definitely teach him a lesson so as not to go astray."

...

Chen Zhengtai hurried to the palace.

At first, he thought the Tai Chi Palace was very majestic, but after many of it, he felt that the layout was a little small. He heard that the palace in Luoyang was even more majestic, and I wonder if he could have the honor to see it.

Wait until he arrived at Xuanzheng Hall.

Then he saw that not only Li Shimin, but Fang Xuanling was also there, but he didn't know the other person.

At this time, Fang Xuanling had a stern face and said nothing.

However, the old man with white hair and hair had a bad face and looked at him with a pair of eyes narrowed.

Chen Zhengtai looked at him calmly and bowed to Li Shimin: "Students have met their mentor."

But Li Shimin had a gloomy face and was particularly stern: "Chen Zhengtai, I value you so much, but you don't know how to be so arrogant and act recklessly. I'll ask you, are you very rich?"

Chen Zhengtai was frightened. Why did it seem like the prelude to the criminals in film and television dramas that were about to rob?

Chen Zhengtai immediately said: "My teacher, the student is poor... in order to provide disaster relief... to run schools, my family... is so poor that I can't get rid of the blame."

Yu Shinan stood aside and looked at Chen Zhengtai coldly.

Li Shimin consciously lost his face and looked down at the paper on the imperial desk: "Nonsense, I think you have money and have nowhere to spend it. You have learned such an extravagant atmosphere at a young age. How can you do this? If you don't raise your father, your teaching is not strict, and your teacher's laziness, I will never give up and tolerate you easily. Come on, get me a whip."

Chen Zhengtai: "…"
