Li Shimin arranged for Li Junxian to send the slightly drunk Du Ruhui back to his house for cultivation, and he returned to Cheng'en Palace.

Empress Changsun was talking with Li Lizhi. When she saw him coming in, she was holding some wooden boards in her hand, and she couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is your Majesty holding?"

Li Shimin raised the wooden board and looked at it, and smiled and said, "What Keming gave to me was said to be offered by a student named Pei Xingjian in Hongwenguan."

He has an impression of the name Pei Xingjian. The last article about the imperial examination reform seemed to be written by him.

and……

"Pei Xingjian?" Empress Changsun thought for a moment, "But is the descendant of Duke Pei Zhong?"

In the second year of Wude, Pei Xingjian's father Pei Renji failed to assassinate Wang Shichong and was then killed. He was posthumously named the governor of Yuanzhou and was given the posthumous title of "Zhong".

Therefore, Empress Changsun called him Duke Pei Zhong.

"What the queen said is not bad, and I want to say this." Li Shimin nodded and said, "After Pei Renji was killed, Duke Yan would pack up his remains and bury him to repay his kindness for his understanding, and said that he would also be buried with him on Beigang Mountain after his death.

therefore……

After Duke Yan was killed, I fulfilled his wish."

Li Lizhi next to him showed a surprised look when she heard this.

Unexpectedly, Luo Datou and the nerd Pei Xingjian still have this connection. No wonder they have such a good relationship.

What I didn't expect was that Pei Xingjian's father was actually a loyal and righteous man.

After that...

Don't bully him too much.

"Oh..." Li Shimin, every time he mentioned Luo Shixin, the Duke of Shanguo, could not help but sigh.

Empress Changsun was very thoughtful and deliberately changed the topic: "Your Majesty hasn't said yet, what is this wooden board?"

"Oh!" Li Shimin came to his senses, "It is a template called woodblock printing...

Pei Xingjian also attached an explanation, which was created by one of his friends, but his name was not indicated."

"Luo Taisui!" Li Lizhi blurted out without thinking.

"Luo Taisui? It should be that he is right!" Li Shimin also thought of it.

Although her daughter has never mentioned Pei Xingjian, she has seen this strange man around her. How could Li Shimin not find out clearly?

So I also know the relationship between Pei Xingjian and Luo Taisui.

Empress Changsun was also an insider and chuckled: "I'm afraid that Luo Taisui, the child, wanted to help his friend, but his friend was unwilling to seize the credit.

These two children…”

"One is a talented person and a simple person, and one is a rare talent!" Li Shimin exclaimed.

To win over the subordinates and train them well is another kind of wealth left to the prince.

"Then what is this object for?" asked Empress Changsun.

Li Lizhi was also very curious.

After all, Luo Taisui had never shown her this thing.

But it is absolutely no easy thing to be presented to the father!

OK, you Luo Datou, you also learned to hide your own private matters!

You wait for me!

She squinted her eyes like a fierce kitten.

Next she saw her father presenting treasures in front of her mother, smearing ink on the wooden board, then covering the blank paper on it, and gently whipping it...

Something magic happened.

The originally blank paper actually showed dense texts.

"Is this... a rubbing?" Queen Changsun guessed, but then overturned her guess, "Oh, it seems not."

The rubbings are black and white characters, while these are black characters on white.

"This is a woodblock printing!" Li Shimin pulled the special name of this item in front of his wife and daughter.

"This child..." Empress Changsun took the paper with the words in Su's hand and looked at it, "and actually ranked Zhao first."

Li Shimin and Li Lizhi leaned over to look at it, it was true.

The surname Li of the royal family is only ranked fourth.

uh-huh!

Isn’t this just grabbing your little tail? Luo Datou!

Li Lizhi was a little proud.

"These surnames are arranged quite casually, and I guess he didn't think too much about it."

Li Shimin had an extraordinary tolerance for Luo Taisui and pondered: "With this woodblock printing, a large number of books and texts can be reproduced in a short period of time, which is very practical."

"But those traditional aristocratic families are unhappy." Empress Changsun seemed to have some meaning.

Li Shimin was slightly stunned, then reacted, stroking his hands and laughing, "Okay! OK! Shixin! Your good child, you will find the foundation of the aristocratic family with just one move!"

Then, he seemed to be still unsatisfied and shouted a few more times.

Among the three people, Li Lizhi was still in the dark, and she didn't understand that just these broken wooden boards had digged the foundation of the aristocratic family?

When Empress Changsun saw her daughter, she looked confused and explained to her: "Take the current imperial examinations as an example, in addition to the various privileges, the most important thing is to be the leading family in school.

These family studies are basically the collection of classics from aristocratic families. Because they are inconvenient to copy by hand, they have almost no need to worry about spreading them.

But with this method, the advantages of the aristocratic family may no longer exist.

Do you understand that Lizhi?"

"My son understands." Li Lizhi was talented and naturally understood at one point.

but……

Even if my father and mother are gone, Luo Datou is actually so far-sighted. It is indeed not a waste of energy.

Next, the three of them chatted about the woodblock printing for a while. Li Shimin planned to hand over the "Hundred Family Names" to Gao Shilian and let him revise it with the aristocratic list.

Then, the technology of woodblock printing is not difficult for the Ministry of Industry to study, and it may even be popularized.

As the night was getting deeper, Li Lizhi stood up and left.

"Little Changle."

At this time, Li Shimin called her.

"What's the matter with Father?" Li Lizhi stopped.

"Before, due to natural disasters, your marriage with the Changsun family was delayed for a long time..." Li Shimin said while observing his daughter's reaction, "Now everything is on the right track, I am thinking about setting this matter down the road in the near future.

What do you think?"

"Your Majesty..." Empress Changsun wanted to speak but stopped.

On the one hand, he is his own nephew, and on the other hand, he is his own daughter.

She knew that her daughter was extremely reluctant.

This matter...

It's really a dilemma.

Finally came... Li Lizhi said in her heart, but she was calm and said calmly: "Why did Father say this?"

When Li Shimin saw that his daughter obviously wanted to pay the debt, he said sternly: "Xiao Changle, the marriage of his children has their own parents' orders, and the words of the matchmaker are so you can't help but be willful!"

Li Lizhi didn't know that he was just a paper tiger, and she was still fearless.

"The orders of parents and the words of the matchmakers, can they be as great as the laws of the Tang Dynasty?" she said calmly.

"The Law of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Shimin was so upset, "What law does the Tang Dynasty prohibit parents from deciding on marriages for their children?"

"I don't know here." Li Lizhi said with confidence: "But my son knows that there is one thing that cannot be intermarried within five suffixes!

This was approved by the Emperor of Father and specially added to the Tang Dynasty's laws!"

"I!"

Li Shimin was stunned.

Empress Changsun’s beautiful eyes moved back and forth between the father and daughter, and finally couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
