Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight

Chapter 16: Get rid of the seventh princess and the second prince at the same time

It's the Mengxia season, the first blooming of the flowers in the pond, the lotus leaves and fields.

Zheng Biyu was sitting in the cool corridor and enjoying the coolness. Hearing the maid reporting the news from the princess's mansion, Liu Mei frowned: "The princess doesn't want to marry again?"

The maid nodded and said: "His Royal Highness ordered someone to detain the servants around the princess, tortured them, and tortured them about what they had done with the Yelu tribe, and found the servants between the princess Qiu and the Huren. That person is Yiqing. The loyal servant of the princess. He encouraged the princess to coax the princess and provoke the Yelu tribe in order to provoke the war so that he could rescue the princess Yiqing."

"The loyal servant said that he originally wanted to help Princess Fukang win the crown prince..."

The maid paused.

Zheng Biyu said calmly, "Go on."

The maid said: "The attendant said that he wanted to use the relationship between Princess Fukang and the prince to influence the court, but Princess Fukang was not useful. He could only take risks and encourage Princess Fukang to form an alliance with the Huren, and coaxed him into saying yes. To help her regain her country, when she marries to the grassland, His Royal Highness will definitely send soldiers to rescue her, and he will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters."

"When the princess learned the truth, she locked herself in the house so that water and rice could not get in."

A touch of sarcasm flashed across Zheng Biyu's eyes.

I had to marry at the beginning, but now I know I was deceived and I don't want to marry anymore.

In her eyes, major events in national diplomatic relations are equivalent to trifling matters.

It's a pity, Ye Lu's savage and tricky, not so easy to dismiss, and now the various forces are mixed in, even Nan Chu also came in and got a kick, she regretted it too late.

In the princess mansion, after Li Xuanzhen interrogated Princess Yiqing's servant, her handsome face was clouded with a haze.

Hu Cong asked: "His Royal Highness, what should I do with this lowly slave?"

Without saying a word, Li Xuanzhen drew out his sword.

There was a flash of snow and cold light, and the servant was silent for a moment.

The blood spurted out, splattering the hem of Li Xuanzhen's robe.

Several followers in the room glanced at each other with surprise on their faces.

With a bang, Li Xuanzhen threw the blood-stained sword and went to find Zhu Luyun.

The guard slammed open the door, and Zhu Luyun hugged her knees and hid on the inner bed, motionless, her face pale.

Li Xuanzhen walked to the bed, the blood dripping from the clothes on the floor.

"Are you colluding with the Huren?" His voice was strangely cold, "Niang Yun, you are Princess Wei and the blood of the Zhu family, you actually colluded with the Huren?"

Zhu Luyun lied to him, and she really reached an agreement with the Yelu tribe.

In those days, the Zhu family swore to guard Xiaoguan to the death to prevent the mighty Hu's cavalry from going south, how many of the Zhu family's erlangs spilled blood on Liupan Mountain?

She actually colluded with the Huren!

Zhu Luyun trembled and raised her face: "I can sacrifice anything to restore the country. Isn't your Li family now allying with the Hu people? Why can't I cooperate with the Hu people?"

Li Xuanzhen became more angry: "You are an alliance? You are conspiring to treason!"

She is stubborn, arrogant, extreme, and unscrupulous in order to get revenge, these are nothing, but she shouldn't have promised to give Helong to the Yelu tribe after the restoration of the country!

Zhu Luyun’s lips were so white that there was no trace of blood: "Your father forced me! He sent someone to monitor me. I can't leave Chang'an! Without cooperating with Yelu tribe, I can't leave Chang'an at all!"

She sneered.

"At the beginning, my mother wanted to take me to Quanzhou. It was your Li family who stopped my mother. Li Xuanzhen, I am not Princess Wei, I am a prisoner of your Li family! I would rather cooperate with the Hu people than being caught by your Li family. Imprisoned for a lifetime."

Li Xuanzhen was silent for a while, her phoenix eyes drooping slightly: "You also know that your mother wants to escape to Quanzhou, she wants to go to sea. Your mother is a woman, if she is not desperate, why should she go to sea alone?"

Zhu Luyun's mother is the imperial concubine, and she knows better than others what the end of the Emperor's concubine and children will be when they fall into the hands of malicious people.

How miserable was the death of the concubines and concubines who were abandoned by the last emperor in Chang'an?

The Li family rescued her, raised her, and gave her a refuge. Li De was indeed using her, but he also gave her the honor of a princess, and he had never been murderous against her.

Does she think she can be free if she escapes from Chang'an?

What awaited her was a brutal and **** massacre.

Zhu Luyun turned her face away, her thin lips pressed tightly.

Li Xuanzhen looked tired, rubbed her eyebrows, and turned to leave.

When he walked to the door, there was a depressed sob behind him.

"Big Brother Changsheng..." Zhu Luyun turned her back to him and wiped the corners of her eyes, "I don't really want to fight the Hu people, I just want to leave Chang'an..."

Her alliance with the Yelu tribe was just a stopgap measure. She wanted to leave Li's house, to save her aunt, and to return to the country. The attendant persuaded her to cooperate with the Hu, and she agreed.

Li Xuanzhen is the son of an enemy and cannot marry her. Who does not marry?

She didn't expect the attendant to cheat her all the time, and the person who served her allegiance was Princess Yiqing, she was just a **** of the attendant.

Li Xuanzhen walked out without looking back.

The figure shook in front of the door, and Zhu Luyun’s maid knelt down at his feet and cried: "His Royal Highness, the princess has been deceived, you must save her! How noble and delicate the princess is, how can she marry the savage Hu Family?"

Li Xuanzhen closed his eyes, shook off the maid, and left without saying a word.

Hu Cong quickly followed.

The master and servants returned to the East Palace and just stepped on the long corridor when they heard a dispute from the study.

Wei Ming is still discussing with others about who to marry.

Li Xuanzhen paced slowly under the row of windows, looking in through the gap.

The five or six people in the room are all his confidants.

Standing in the corner, Qin Fei said in a huff, "Princess Fukang has a precious status, and Princess Fukang is also a golden branch. Princess Fukang is a temperament. How can the seventh princess suffer it on her behalf?"

Wei Ming glared at him with hatred for iron and steel, "The seventh princess is the sister of the second prince!"

Qin Fei was suddenly timid.

Wei Ming raised his hand to indicate that the little servant at the side held the lacquer tray. He first picked up a stack of blank paper and motioned to Qin Fei to pass it on.

"These papers are soft and tough, with uniform thickness, and are not easily eaten by insects. Guess what the price is for a hundred sheets?"

One person said: "This paper is really soft, white and flat. It can be used for writing and painting. One hundred sheets and six hundred characters?"

Wei Ming shook his head: "Sixty essays."

The other five people were shocked. Even the crude Qin Fei opened his mouth. Although he is a military commander, he also knows how expensive paper is. How cheap is such good paper?

Wei Ming picked up several books from the lacquer tray.

Qin Fei took one of the books, opened it at random, and didn't see anything famous.

The other scribes all sighed in surprise.

One person said: "I have never seen such an ingenious binding method."

Another humanity: "The binding method is nothing more. Look at the article inside, how are these paintings rubbed? Each one has clear lines, and it is really original."

Several people sighed, and smiled and asked, "Which Confucian presiding over these books was written and printed? Why haven't I heard of them?"

Publishing books is not a simple matter. They once assisted Prime Minister Zheng in presiding over the printing of the calendar of the new dynasty, and they are well aware of the difficulties involved.

Wei Ming said blankly: "It's the Seventh Princess."

Everyone stayed for a while.

Wei Ming pointed to those papers: "These papers are just plain paper sold by Xie Jia Bookstore. In addition to these, there are also expensive sprinkled gold paper, peach blossom paper, and of course there are cheaper coarse papers, among which scholars’ favorites are the most popular. It is a cheap cotton paper. People in Jingnan call this paper Xie's paper."

"As for these agricultural books and medical books, they are also published by the Xie family. They not only write, print, and sell books in bookstores in various places, but they also allow the people to borrow books and provide papers for them to copy books. Jing Nan's The library has collected ten thousand volumes of books, and scholars and scholars come to ask for books every day. Those who thank their families will not refuse to come, and each person only accepts one cent."

The expressions of the crowd suddenly shuddered.

Why can the aristocratic family prosper from generation to generation and come out in large numbers?

Why is there a clear separation between the aristocratic family and the cold family?

Because the family not only monopolized power and wealth for a long time, but also completely monopolized knowledge.

The children of the aristocratic family began to study at the age of four or five. They have wise elders, knowledgeable teachers, a rich collection of books, inheritance accumulated through generations, and family studies.

What about the children of ordinary people?

Just the consumption of paper, pen and ink can bring down a family, and ordinary people may not be able to train many scholars with the help of the whole family.

The wealthy family don’t have to worry about money, but they don’t have a lot of books in their family. It’s hard to get a set of four books, let alone those precious masterpieces. It was hard to get a manuscript full of errors, and there was no teacher around me who could consult, and reading the book a hundred times might not be able to correctly understand the meaning.

The few people in the room were from poor families, with their heads hanging on the beams and thorns. They have gone through hardships until now, and because of their origins, they can't be in a high position, and they can only stay below the children of the family forever.

In this world, probably only they can understand the profound meaning behind the Xie Family Paper and the Xie Family Library.

Let the knowledge spread among the people, so that ordinary people can afford paper, can afford books, and can read all the books in the Xie family's collection without spending a cent.

For the benefit of all people, the merits are for the ages!

The expressions of the people couldn't hide their excitement, "These are really the ideas of the Seventh Princess?"

Wei Ming nodded: "The Xie family’s direct support has been cut off. They acted low-key and did not publicize it. It took me half a year to find out that the person who ordered the opening of the library was the seventh princess, and the person who presided over the writing of the agricultural book was also the seventh princess. He ordered a bookshop to be set up in Jingnan, where 1,000 people collect bibliography and write articles every day."

Everyone exchanged a shocked look.

Qin Fei was puzzled. Since Chang Shi knew that the Seventh Princess had done so many good things for the benefit of EMI, why did he even kill the Seventh Princess?

He scratched his head and said: "The seventh princess has compassion and is close to the world, so we shouldn't let her marry her on her behalf."

Several others gave him sympathetic glances.

Wei Ming didn't bother to pay attention to him, and looked at the other people: "Not long ago, the second prince bought a pot of peony for the seventh princess at the spring banquet for the seventh princess. I spent tens of thousands of gold. I deliberately let the wind go out. Extravagance. The seventh princess accepted the flowers. On the day of the spring banquet, she did not attend, but sent someone to the prime minister’s house to compete for the flower king. In the end, the potted flowers won, and the seventh princess sold the flowers to a wealthy merchant for the money. The seventh princesses were all used to settle the refugees. The next day, the impeachment of the second prince was reduced by half."

He paused.

"The Seventh Princess looks delicate and virtuous, but in fact she has a deep scheming and a national color. She goes to the palace and the children of the family are chasing after her. How many court officials will be the ministers of her skirts in the future?"

Wei Ming looked solemn.

"The seventh princess must wait for me to be in serious trouble. If she is by the second prince one day, the second prince will have one more chance of winning."

Therefore, since it is possible to kill more with one arrow and get rid of the seventh princess and the second prince at the same time, why not let the seventh princess marry on his behalf?

Everyone was silent.

Qin Fei said nothing.

Wei Ming turned around and arched his hands to the place where Li Xuanzhen was standing: "Your Highness, this time you can't be soft-hearted."

Li Xuanzhen was silent for a long time, and the hoarse admonition sounded in her ears: "Vengeance for A-niang...Eternal slave, revenge for A-niang..."

The chill was surging throughout the body.

He stood in the dark corner and nodded.

Wei Ming was overjoyed: "I'll make arrangements now!"

The prince was finally able to deal with the seventh princesses cruelly.

On this day, Yaoying was facing the mirror, and suddenly two eunuchs came outside the palace.

"My Lord, the Holy One is summoned."
