Chapter 701 Zhang Gong would like to ask

Li Zheng waved his hand and said, "I don't need it, I just wonder if Tang Xuanzang needs it."

Xu Jingzong glanced at Li Zheng strangely, "Chang'an Order, this Tang Xuanzang is a monk."

Li Zheng nodded and said, "I know he is a monk."

Xu Jingzong became more and more confused.

Li Zheng said sadly: "Forget it, I just mentioned it casually."

Xu Jingzong nodded slightly.

After taking a few more glances at the information, Li Zheng said to Xu Jingzong: "I will sort out all the information with Li Yifu, compile it after it is sorted out, and let Duke Zou take a look before printing it."

"It's no problem to let Duke Zou take a look." Xu Jingzong hesitated and asked again: "But can Duke Zou be trusted?"

As soon as he woke up, he stretched his waist, Li Zheng said to Xu Jingzong: "It is not whether we believe in Duke Zou or not, but that His Majesty trusts Duke Zou very much."

Xu Jingzong took a deep breath, "It turns out that Chang'an Order has such considerations. I am negligent. Chang'an Order is very impressed."

Looking at Xu Jingzong's expression, Li Zheng smiled and didn't want to say anything more. Rather than saying that Zhang Gongjin was Li Shimin's confidant, a person like Zhang Gongjin, one of the most capable strategists around Li Shimin, who was able to give Li Shimin various tricks at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and even one of the planners of Xuanwu Sect.

His meaning of coming to Jingyang is unclear. Instead of thinking about it, it is better to think of him as Li Shimin's undercover agent.

I don’t know if I have seen too many spy wars in later generations, and I always feel that my paranoia of persecution is getting worse and worse.

Without knowing everything and being unable to see clearly, it is better to think of the other person as a bad person first.

Then slowly test him.

If the situation is good, maybe he can be turned against him.

Li Shimin immediately received the news from Jingyang, which was also sent by Wang Ding.

Looking at the story in the secret newspaper, Li Zheng has started to publish a new magazine, and the newly established printing workshop has begun.

The newly established book seal workshop was headed by Duke Zou, Zhang Gongjin.

Li Shimin was surprised to see this news.

Li Shimin sneered and said, "Li Zheng actually asked Duke Zou to be the head of the book printing workshop."

Empress Changsun was also a little surprised when she heard this. The business of the book seal shop was royal, and Li Jiangshan had always been watching.

After packing up the cotton cloth in front of him, Empress Changsun said: "These cloths are all beautiful and are sent from Jingyang, and they are all just knitted."

Li Shimin glanced at the cloth and said, "Li Zhi is a sensible child."

Empress Changsun sat next to Li Shimin and said, "Li Zheng is also a smart child. Zhang Gongjin has been in Jingyang for two years and has been in Jingyang for the past two years. I think this time Li Zheng asked him to be the head of the printing workshop to reassure His Majesty."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "If you want to say that Li is a little fox, you really praise the fox. He is much more cunning than the fox."

Empress Changsun smiled silently, "Your Majesty, what Li Zheng is doing in Jingyang now, Li Zhi has sent a letter to me to tell me. What has really reached this point?"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "If Li Zheng doesn't do it, I will do it too. I will say something in my heart in front of you. In fact, if Li Zheng can do this, the stone in my heart has fallen behind."

Empress Changsun whispered: "The Li Zheng in the past was not a big trouble for the powerful family, and it has not reached the point of living to the death with Li Zheng. But if she did this now, she would probably be the aristocratic family and Li Zheng would never stop."

The printing business is the business of scholars.

Scholars are the foundation of a noble family. A noble family would rather be self-consistent than think about increasing the cost of studying for ordinary people, so as to separate the people.

The fewer scholars, the happier the family. If you master the scholars, you will master the future of the court.

The officials in the court cannot be a group of illiterate people.

No matter who comes to the country, whoever masters the scholars will master the future.

The aristocratic families know the truth.

It doesn’t matter who the emperor is. As long as the aristocratic family stands firmly, they will have the final say in the Central Plains.

Li Shimin said to Empress Changsun: "I handed over the entire Longwu Army to Li Zheng. I also know your concerns. Li Zheng and Li Zhi have no children yet, and Li Zhi and Li Zheng are still young. I am afraid that they can't stand such a big thing?"

Empress Changsun nodded, "This is not an offense to one person or two people, it is a declaration of war on the aristocratic family."

Li Shimin's expression was filled with a hint of ruthlessness, "If a family is not eliminated, where will the future of the country be?"

Empress Changsun remained silent and no longer had too much.

From the moment Li Shimin ascended the throne, family affection and Li Shimin have become alienated.

Two days later, on the eve of the New Year's Day.

Li Zheng was sitting in his own yard playing chess with Li Tai.

It was a game of chess and fighting in dire straits that the maid came to report: "Chang'an Order, Duke Zou is here."

Retracting his hand that was about to move the chess piece, Li Zheng looked at his door and saw Zhang Gongjin standing at the door.

Li Zheng waved and said, "Duke Zou, please come in."

Zhang Gongjin walked into the yard with a book with a worry-fired look.

Looking at the person coming, Li Tai said, "I'll go and see if the tea eggs are ready."

After saying that, Li Tai walked towards the kitchen.

Looking at Zhang Gongjin's expression, Li Zheng said, "Duke Zou came to visit late at night, don't know what's going on?"

Putting the book on the table, Zhang Gongjin asked, "Li Zheng, what exactly do you want to do?"

Li Zheng picked up the book in front of him, looked at the content on it and said, "Is the story here inappropriate?"

Zhang Gongjin stared at Li Zheng and said, "Li Zheng, I ask you again, are you really going to do this?"

Li Zheng shook the fan in his hand and said, "That's why I asked Duke Zou to be the head of the printing shop."

Zhang Gongjin was silent for a while, then sighed again and said, "I understand what you mean. It's getting late, so you can rest early."

Seeing that Zhang Gongjin turned around and wanted to leave, Li Zheng said, "Duke Zou walked slowly."

Li Tai asked while eating tea eggs, "What are Duke Zou doing?"

"He comes to ask about tomorrow's weather."

"weather?"

"Yes." Li Zheng nodded and returned to his room.

Li Tai stood at the door and looked at Zhang Gongjin's back walking under the moonlight with confusion.

When he returned to his study, Li Zheng sat under the oil lamp to read a book. He didn't know if he was too tired, but he fell asleep as he watched.

When the morning arrived, the sun shone on Chang'an City. With a loud shout in front of Chengtian Gate, the first day of the ten-year Zhenguan year has arrived.

The weather is warmer than before.

People were also on Zhuque Street early.

In front of Chengtian Gate, there are envoys from various countries dressed in different clothes.
