Since ancient times, talented people have been born in the Red Chamber

Chapter 300 The Ai family really underestimated the official family (second update)
Chapter 298

The main hall is not peaceful, how can the empress dowager be peaceful?A famous eunuch with loose legs and feet ran wildly between the main hall and the empress dowager's bedroom, delivering news.

Gao Taotao, who has been reclining on the soft couch and looking thoughtfully at the distance, the steaming kettle placed on the big copper stove, silently listened to the eunuchs coming to report what happened in the hall. Tell yourself everything.

Back in time, when Wang Yang had just set foot in the hall, at first, Gao Taotao felt that this was just another ordinary birthday banquet for the emperor, but when he heard from Mr. When Wang Yang and Wang Wushan, who were expelled from the middle school, appeared in the hall, Gao Taotao's face couldn't help but change.

However, after a short time, Gao Taotao regained his former grace and elegance, and smiled leisurely. "I didn't expect that Wang Wushan had some tricks to make the officials pay so much attention to him, and asked people to inquire carefully to see what kind of tricks that kid surnamed Wang can play in front of civil and military officials."

"The old slave understands, and I will definitely keep an eye on it..." Xu Degong, the confidant chief executive, nodded understandingly, and walked quickly to the side to recruit a few capable confidants.

"All of you, stand guard outside the main hall for me, keep your eyes wide open, and fix your ears to me, so that you can see and hear clearly, and every half an hour someone will report back to our house, Go back as soon as you finish reporting, and make sure you don't miss anything, otherwise, be careful with your skin."

"Godfather, don't worry, we understand..." Those confidantes naturally didn't dare to be negligent, and rushed towards the main hall after receiving the order, and made a full-fledged inquiry.

And when he heard that Wang Yang offered the printing technique he invented to the emperor, Gao Taotao commented very lightly without batting an eyelid. "It's just an act of sensationalism. Although Zhao Tingzhi's selfishness is serious, he is quite strong..."

But when he heard that Wang Yang dared to bet with Zhao Tingzhi on the spot in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Gao Taotao's expression could not help but change a little.

Does that kid really have some tricks?Until now, Gao Taotao still doesn't think that kid is really capable.

And until I heard that both Fan Chunren and the Son of Heaven stood up as the arbitrators, then although Zhao Tingzhi used the words on the first two pages of the "Analects of Confucius", he not only rearranged the sequence, but even reorganized some of them. The words are deducted from it to prevent Wang Yang from cheating.

At this time, Gao Taotao still only thought that it was just a farce, but he was a little worried about how the official would end up.

Even though she had always felt that the young emperor, who had a temperament like the Shenzong Emperor, was too naive and impatient, he was the emperor of the Song Dynasty after all. If he was at the Qianqiu Birthday Banquet, he would lose face on the spot.

That would not only damage the official family, but even the face of the entire royal family.Just when Gao Taotao was still thinking about whether he should show up and wipe the matter away.

But another eunuch with a terrified expression rushed in to report.Wang Yang used a magical method called "Yuanyou Printing Technique". After less than a stick of incense, he printed the three pages compiled by Zhao Tingzhi, and each page of the sample manuscript was printed separately. Five servings.

"What did you say? Yuanyou printing technique... I have never heard of it before." Gao Taotao couldn't lie down any longer, so he stood up immediately, walked up to the eunuch and asked.

The young eunuch, who hadn't seen the empress dowager so anxious for many years, was so frightened that he took a long time to recover and quickly replied. "Returning to your mother, this is the first time I have heard of it, and Fan Xianggong proved on the spot that it was indeed printed by that Wang Wushan using Yuanyou printing technology... This title is because the current official year is Yuan You, Guerte is named after it."

"How is this possible..." Gao Taotao, who has been in charge of the imperial power of the Great Song Dynasty for many years, can't help being confused and bewildered.

It's true that Yuanyou is the year name of the official family, but Gao Taotao couldn't help but feel itchy because of how amazing Yuanyou's printing skills are.

At this moment, since it was proved that Wang Yang actually contributed a remarkable printing technique, the first thing Gao Taotao thought about was that the books of Song Dynasty in the past were very precious.

A set of "The Analects of Confucius" costs a lot of money, and it is difficult for ordinary scholars to afford a copy. What to do, most of them borrow books to copy.

But more people, even if they are eager to learn, are willing to accept the teachings of saints, but the problem is that they can only roll their eyes if they don't have books. How many humble scholars would cry with excitement.

However, Gao Taotao was only excited for a while, and soon, the news came again from the main hall, which made Gao Taotao's face look extremely ugly.

With Gao Taotao's scheming, naturally, like those officials in the hall, he vaguely guessed the emperor's intention to use this Yuanyou printing technique on his Qianqiu Festival.

It may even be calculated, with the selfish character of Zhao Tingzhi, it is very likely that he will stand up and confront Wang Yang head-on.

Then the emperor took the opportunity to stand up and even allowed Fan Chunren, an elder who was known for his loyalty to both the government and the public, to act as the arbiter.

The results of it?Wang Yang, who was ordered to be removed from the Taixue Academy by his own decree, became the winner.But Zhao Tingzhi, who had a lot of grievances with Wang Yang, became a despicable loser.

What does this prove?It can only prove that the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao, who doesn't know people well, let this kind of unscrupulous and talented person stand out among the people, and the sinister villain who roars at the court lives above the court.

The more Gao Taotao thought about it, the more frighteningly gloomy his face became.Manager Xu, however, dared not disturb Gao Taotao in such a mood, so he only dared to wait on his side cautiously.

Then, while Gao Taotao was pondering, someone came to report that Zhao Tingzhi wanted to play tricks, and then a group of officials pleaded for Zhao Tingzhi, which provoked the emperor to use the forbidden army, and was finally persuaded But Zhao Tingzhi had no choice but to retreat.

Before the empress dowager was overwhelmed with surprise, the next news came, that is, the emperor issued an edict to open the Enke this year, and it will be held concurrently with the Zhengke...

One news after another, like thunder, made the head manager Xu's face turn pale, and the empress dowager Gao Taotao couldn't help but be terrified.

The Empress Dowager Gao Taotao slowly sat back in front of the big peat-burning copper stove that the Son of Heaven respected, still feeling a chill penetrating into her bones.

After a while, Gao Taotao let out a long breath, showing an expression of astonishment that was hard to conceal. "Excellent, such a clever method, I never thought that the Ai family really underestimated the official family..."

"Your Majesty... Could it be that the officials did something that displeased you? Do you want to drive over and have a look..." Seeing Gao Taotao's expression, Xu Degong couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"No!" Gao Taotao rejected Manager Xu's proposal after a short thought. "Don't forget that the official family is the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and what he did today is all his duty. The Ai family will not be that old woman who gets in the way..."
