Great Tang Broom Star

Wang Sheng said that Jia Pingan's throwing out the movable type at this moment was a long-planned move, and he wanted to throw it out to show his credit when the monarch and his ministers were helpless, so as to magnify the credit.

Guo Xin said sarcastically, "Mr. will definitely be rewarded once the movable type is produced, so it is shameless for you to use this to attack him."

Wang Sheng just sneered.

This thing is a conspiracy theory.

Someone outside said: "People who are not serious will stare at other people's tricks all day long..."

This is what Jia Pingan said before, and it is just right to use it to criticize Wang Sheng at this moment.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Guo Xin couldn't help laughing.

Insane!

Li Jingdu turned around and shouted: "Who is talking?"

The voice from outside came, "What? Can't even talk? It's a big shame for you to wait!"

"come out!"

Li Jingdu sternly shouted, and at the same time took a few steps forward.

Everyone dodges...

A small official stood outside.

Li Jing has seen this person before, and he is a small official of the Imperial College.

This person dared to offend the nobles, is he crazy?

Even Guo Xin praised: "Good man, I will arrange for you when you are expelled from the Imperial College."

The little official looked profusely sweating, and was still a little out of breath, "I just got a message outside... Your Majesty rewarded Duke Jia as a Duke for his great merit with movable type..."

really!

Wang Sheng felt that there was no mistake in his plan.

But why does the little official dare to offend the old man?

This is what Wang Sheng doesn't understand.

But he can take care of Xiao Xiami with just a wink.

The little official still looked at him impolitely, "Duke Jia refused the reward, saying that he would be granted a title for military merit!"

Wang Sheng: "..."

Wang Kuan was dumbfounded.

"He...he actually refused?"

Someone turned and ran out.

But before he ran out of the house, someone came outside.

"Jia Pingan refused the title and was beaten by the queen."

The Queen is out?

The news is solid.

It's real!

The little official said solemnly: "I also know that Guozijian and arithmetic, Confucianism and new learning are incompatible, but it is just a dispute between orthodoxy. Duke Jia invented movable type and used it to benefit culture and education without hesitation. To slander his intentions behind his back..."

The petty official straightened his waist and said solemnly: "Although I am just a petty official, I know that I should be grateful for favors, not slander and criticism. If there is injustice, I will cry out, even if I lose my job in the Imperial College for this!"

...

Jia Pingan was dead at home.

"Aye, are you in pain?"

The little cotton-padded jacket ran in and out, asking him for a while, and saying that he was going to ask for medicine.

"It doesn't hurt."

Master Jia took a beating, but the two wives thought it was a good beating.

"Was your husband confused at the time?"

Su He complained: "If you become the Duke of the state, the children in the family will not only be able to inherit the title, but the second and third children will be able to shade the officials. What a great thing? You refused to give birth to a husband."

Jia Ping'an was lying on the bed, surrounded by a woman complaining, her eyelids constantly fighting.

"Aye."

"What are you doing?"

Jia Pingan was at a loss.

Doudou asked, "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

"oh!"

The little padded jacket is really considerate.

Jia Pingan felt that the beating was worth it.

Doudou stretched out his hand hard, and patted Jia Ping'an's back vigorously.

This shot happened to capture the scar.

"ah!"

...

"Why do you want to slap?"

Soho was angry.

Doudou was about to cry, "Aye said it didn't hurt anymore, so I just wanted to try, Aye was lying."

Are you still reasonable?

Jia Pingan felt that the daughters were all here to collect debts.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu is here to visit."

What is Xu doing here?

Jia Pingan immediately got up and went to the front yard.

"Is it serious?"

Xu Jingzong was relieved when he saw that Jia Ping'an could move around.

"It's not that the old man said you, you don't want to be a good duke, what kind of military merit do you want? Do you really think that military merit is so easy to get? To tell you the truth,

Datang will not fight Tubo within two years, so you are asking for trouble. "

Xu Jingzong complained, then looked around.

nothing happened.

Rub your stomach again.

Du He, who was serving at the side, finally realized his spirit, and said, "Mr. Sir, the weather is hot, and the kitchen has brought some iced food."

After a meal of ice cream, Xu Jingzong felt comfortable all over.

"Pack some sausages and bacon for Mr. Xu."

Xu Jingzong looked serious, "No, no, I'm leaving now."

Jia Pingan said: "In this weather, cook the bacon and sausage, then steam the slices, it will be delicious with dinner and wine!"

Xu Jingzong's throat moved, and Du He understood it and said: "The bacon sausage at home is too much, if you don't eat it quickly, it may spoil."

"Isn't Xiao Jia the old man talking about you, you have to wait and see what you eat, your eyes are big and your belly is small!"

Xu Jingzong left with a pile of sausages and bacon.

"The Duke of England is here."

Jia was sick at home, attracting many people to visit him.

Li Jingye didn't come until after he left the Yamen.

"Ah Weng said it's not serious, maybe drinking alcohol?"

"I can."

My sister said it was a beating, but the action was more like a warm-up.

So Jia Pingan is going to take a bath tomorrow.

"Bring good wine."

Li Jingye snarled as if he was at home, "Brother, you don't know, I don't know who I have learned how to keep in good health recently, and I stopped drinking. I said you don't drink, I drink bars, but A Weng said that keeping in good health is important." Starting from the child... I said, Ah Weng, you are in a difficult situation, you dare not drink alcohol, and I will suffer along with you."

It is really lucky that this unlucky boy was not killed.

Li Jingye ate dinner at Jia's house, and they didn't see anyone together.

"Brother, please!"

What Li Jingye wanted was a big cup, and he took a cup with his head up. Then he chomped on two pieces of sausage, and then had a mouthful of rice, which was so refreshing.

"Brother, please!"

After another gulp, Jia Pingan picked up five slices of bacon boldly with his chopsticks. Jia Pingan asked curiously, "You...can't you even eat meat?"

Li Jingye held up the bacon, looked at the transparent piece of meat, and said sadly: "Aunt said that he should be a vegetarian recently, and I said you should eat it, but Aunt said to eat with me, so that he can be pious."

Su Ho was stunned, and Wei Wushuang couldn't bear it.

How cruel for such a burly man not to be able to eat meat!

Doudou sighed: "Uncle Li is a little stupid! You are not allowed to eat in the kitchen at night?"

Jia Pingan glanced at Su Ho, and Su Ho immediately lowered his head shyly.

Oops, the fact that DouDou went to the kitchen to get food was exposed.

Li Jingye put down his chopsticks and said sadly: "There is no meat in the kitchen."

What is Lao Li doing?

Jia Ping felt wrong.

"This is not health preservation. Who said something to the British Duke, but Fangwai?"

Li Jingye said angrily: "What kind of cultivation is it?"

Jia Pingan was speechless.

After binge eating and drinking, Li Jingye was ready to go back.

"Ah Weng still doesn't allow me to go to the brothel, hey!"

The feeling of something wrong became more and more intense.

Li Jingye went home all the way, and first practiced in the front yard to force out the alcohol. Then take a bath and change clothes.

"Li Yao!"

Li Yao was called.

"Is there any powder?"

Li Yao subconsciously said, "No."

Li Jingye said with a cold face, "Go and get some."

There are many maids in the family, and there is no shortage of makeup.

When Li Yao came back later, there was a scratch on his face.

Li Jingye picked up the powder and threw it on his body, making himself delicious in a short while.

"Is the smell of alcohol gone?"

Li Jingye was quite proud.

Li Yao rolled his eyes, "Why does Mr. Xiaolang do this...just smoke the dried wormwood, and the smell will disappear."

The strong flavor of wormwood is more powerful than any powder to cover up.

"Say it sooner."

Li Jingye pointed at his face, "Are you going to tease the maid by the way?"

Li Yao wanted to die, "I was misunderstood."

Li Jingye couldn't help laughing.

Then went to the backyard.

"Where's Aon?"

The maid said, "In the study."

Li Jingye cautiously went outside the study, it was already dark at this moment.

He stood outside the door and looked inside.

There are a few cases in the study, and Li Ji sits on one side, usually a man with a short beard.

The short-bearded man's face was round and shiny, which reminded Li Jingye of the bacon he ate at Jia's house.

The man raised his eyes with gentle eyes, "The British Duke has worked hard for many years and killed countless people. The former Sui Dynasty should be destroyed, so raising troops is the way of heaven, and the way of heaven rewards but not punishes. This way, the king of the country will honor the children and grandchildren. But the subsequent fights were too much. up...

The killing provoked the wrath of heaven. Once the backlash comes, this person will be weak and weak. The British Duke's symptoms are just like this. He is a genius doctor but he can't cure it. It's just a punishment from God... It can be resolved, but it can't be cured. "

Li Ji sighed: "The old man has been feeling short of breath recently, and his energy is not good. He wants to take a nap all day long, and he always has nightmares at night. He dreams about those brothers back then, and dreams about those fights... When he wakes up, he can't fall asleep anymore..."

"That's why."

The man's name is Xintian, but his surname is unknown.

He smiled slightly, "I have practiced in Zhongnan Mountain for many years, and I wanted to go to the Western Regions to preach, but I did not expect to meet the Duke of England by chance, so it is fate."

Li Ji nodded, "Please take a look for the old man."

Xintian squinted at him, and said for a long time: "There is so much evil spirit, it is frightening. Does the British public know about the so-called death and life?"

"compensate?"

"Exactly." Xintian said with a smile: "If you kill someone, you should live another person. Only in this way can the crime be undone."

Li Ji smiled wryly and said: "In the former Sui Dynasty, hunger was everywhere, and countless people could be saved by just giving out porridge. Now the Tang Dynasty is happy to live everywhere, but it is difficult for the old man to live."

Even beggars are hard to find in Chang'an City, where can they give alms?

Xintian smiled slightly, "I'm going to visit the Western Regions. Apart from preaching, I can also help the local people. This is also a merit. Merits are illusory, but the more you do, the more you will feel at ease."

Li Ji's heart moved slightly, "So, if the old man gives alms to the Western Regions here, it may be resolved..."

"Aon!"

Li Jingye couldn't take it anymore, rushed in and pointed at Xintian and cursed: "Where is the monster, how dare you seduce Ah Weng."

Xintian glanced at him, got up and said, "If that's the case, I'll take my leave first."

Li Ji nodded with a smile, "Li Yao will see you off, the old man will be at home tomorrow..."

Nitta nodded.

Then Li Yao came in, and the two went out together.

Li Jingye was about to explode.

"Ah Weng, what is your body weak and mentally weak? It's because you're bored. You spend your whole day thinking about this and that. How can you get sick if you learn from me? Xintian must be a liar. I will definitely do it next time. kill him!"

Li Ji's face turned cold, "Come here."

A servant came in at the door.

"Bring the stick."

When Li Yao came back, Li Jingye was being beaten severely.

"Alang."

Li Yao can be said to have watched Li Jingye grow up, and he couldn't bear to persuade him: "Little Lang is also a caring heart."

Li Ji was sweating all over his head, panting and threw away the stick, "Get lost!"

Li Jingye patted his butt nonchalantly, "Ah, you..."

Li Ji leaned over to pick up the stick, and Li Jingye ran away.

Li Yao helped him in, and then he had people replace the half-thawed ice, and the room gradually became cooler.

"Ah Lang." After all, Li Yao is an old man of the Li family, and he can say a lot, "Why don't you find a medical officer to have a look."

Li Ji sat there still panting, with drooping eyebrows, and said for a long time: "This old man is a famous doctor."

Li Yao smiled wryly, "Mr. Xiao Lang is in a mess when he cares about it, but in fact he has been wandering outside the study for the past few days."

"The old man knows."

If he was touched outside the study and still unconscious, Li Ji would have been killed a long time ago.

His eyes became softer, "This old man has gone through troubled times in his life, and killed countless people in troubled times, so he is considered a hero. Later, he defected to Datang, and even led the army to fight against the stable side. It is always right to say that he has lived his entire life..."

Li Ji took a sip of tea and gasped again, "This old man is not afraid of death, but Jingyang's qualifications are mediocre. If this old man goes now, he will not be able to control his dedication..."

Jingyang is the name of Li Jingye's father, Li Zhen.

Li Yao wondered, "Ah Lang, isn't there Duke Jia over there? He can suppress Mr. Xiaolang."

Li Ji shook his head, "If it was successful before, you wouldn't know it until you wait... Xiao Jia took a different path. From the beginning, he walked into the court little by little, very cautious. But no matter how cautious he is, it will be enough after all these years He has influenced the government. So now he has more and more affairs... If you hand over the dedication to him again, the old man can't bear it."

Li Yao thought about it, and it was really the case.

"The old man just wants to live another five years." Li Ji coughed dryly, drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat, "Jingyang came back from Zhaozhou this year, and the old man couldn't keep him in Chang'an, so I declined. Then let him go to Zizhou The land of Shu is rich and prosperous, let Da Lang live happily there for a few years, and come back after the old man has gone, so that the enemies in the court will be less hostile to him..."

This kind of arrangement can be said to be thoughtful and sophisticated.

"Let's live for a few more years. When Dalang returns from Zizhou, he will be more mature in his dedication, so this old man can feel at ease."

Li Ji smiled, "In the past, this old man didn't really believe in these things, but recently his body is weak and his spirit is weak, and he often dreams about his brothers from back then, so he knows it's time. Xintian is considered pious, so it can be pinned on. It is good, but it is not good. Also feel at ease."

Li Yao resigned, walked outside the door and turned around.

Under the candlelight, Li Ji stared blankly at a wooden knife on the wall.

That was the toy he peeled for Li Jingye with his own hands back then. When Li Jingye was young, he taught him the skills of swordsmanship and horse lance. As time goes by, the wooden knife looks mottled.

Li Ji sighed quietly.

The candlelight flickered, and the white hair moved slightly.

...

"Auntie."

Early in the morning, I went around and found my old lady, and said righteously: "Aye said, I am not allowed to go to the kitchen to find food for you in the future."

Su Ho, who just woke up, was furious, "Who do you listen to?"

yes!

Who do I listen to?

It seems that I listen to A Niang more.

"I listened to my mother..."

Suho turned his anger into joy.

"But..." Doudou hesitated, "But Aye is the one who takes me out to play, Aye is the one who brings me gifts, and Aye is the one who doesn't do anything when I get angry... Auntie, I'd better listen. Ayer's."

Early in the morning, the mother and daughter vowed to break with each other completely.

Suho ate alone at breakfast, and so did DouDou.

The mother and daughter ignored each other.

Jia Pingan didn't care about it.

After breakfast, Jia Ping'an was ready to go out.

"That... I asked Cao Er to make eight-treasure rice. Doudou likes it the most. I just have a small bowl for lunch."

Doudou rejoiced, "Aye is so kind."

As soon as Jia Pingan walked away, Doudou was grabbed by the back collar. She spun around and shouted, "Who is so so?"

"Doudo!"

DouDou finally saw the person behind him, "Aniang."

Su Ho squeezed out a smiling face, "Let's have a discussion..."

"What are you discussing?" DouDou stared wide-eyed, always feeling that something was wrong.

"That eight-treasure rice, how about you and A Niang having half of it?"

Doudou shook his head, "Not good."

"Jia Doudou!"

Soho got akimbo and went into a rage.

Doudou raised his head with his hips akimbo, and snorted coldly, as if he would rather die than surrender.

Wei Wushuang passed by and saw this scene speechless.

Later, he ran away joyfully, Su Ho looked resentful.

Wei Wushuang shook his head, "It's probably the unequal treaty your husband said."

...

"Those people say it's useless to have a textbook without a teacher."

Ren Yaxiang's morning tea party is still the same.

Wu Kui glanced at Jia Pingan and found that he was not in a hurry at all.

"What do you think of Xiao Jia?"

Ren Yaxiang took a sip of tea and asked comfortably.

"Let it be."

Jia Pingan was very calm.

Wu Kui couldn't help but said: "Someone outside said that they would rather rest at home than teach."

Ren Yaxiang said indifferently: "If they go to the Guozijian to teach, they will flock to it, but going to the school is not as good as the county school, how can those people be willing."

Old Ren really has a sharp eye.

Jia Pingan said: "Those people want to confront His Majesty."

As expected, Xiao Jia still has a lot.

Of course Ren Yaxiang was aware of this factor, "Chang'an needs more than a hundred masters, let alone the entire Tang Dynasty."

Wu Kui asked in confusion, "Didn't you think about this at the beginning?"

"Of course I have thought about it." Ren Yaxiang took a sip of tea and said slowly: "There are many down-and-out literati in the world. At the beginning, I thought that at least this is also a job, and the monthly money and grain are enough to support the family. If it is done well, it is hard to say You can also enter the county school, state school, and even the Imperial College. I didn't expect..."

A stern look flashed in his eyes, "Someone is talking outside, bewitching those down-and-out literati not to sign up."

So the struggle was never a dinner treat.

Wu Kui was surprised, "It's too ruthless, but those people feel that their interests have been damaged...it's normal."

Whoever robs me of my interests, even if it is an emperor, Yeye must fight against him.

This matter is not a patent of the Ming Dynasty, it began in the former Han Dynasty... When the aristocratic family was huge and sharp, once they got together, the emperor had no choice but to do nothing.

In the Ming Dynasty, a freak called "scholars" appeared. These scholars joined together through interests, from tax exemptions to distribution of local benefits, they were everywhere...for example, land mergers. In the end, all the benefits of the world were shared by them, and Daming was also finished.

Jia Pingan put down his teacup, "It's just a trivial matter."
