God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

When Du He left the printing workshop, he had already made up his mind. After "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" became popular, he would set up the Datang Study. Although the printing of books did not make much money, it could become Du He's publicity aid.

The "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" that Wang Erniu and others worked overtime to print was actually not the original "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", but Du He's edited version. All the stories after the establishment of North Korea were cut.

For example, the Xuanwu Gate incident has always been a hurdle in Li Er's heart. If it is really printed, Du He will definitely be finished.

As a result, the newly printed "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" is less than half of the original.

After streamlining, the printed content is greatly reduced, and the speed of printing and binding is naturally greatly accelerated.

……

Sikong House.

In the study, Chang Sun Chong lowered his head.

Changsun Wuji said helplessly: "Chong'er, didn't you promise me that as long as Du He's wood is broken, he will not be able to produce rotating wooden chairs? But what happened at the gate of the imperial city today, you must have heard of it." Yes, Du He got 200 rotating wooden chairs, and within a short while, they were all robbed. It is said that all the civil and military officials in the dynasty went to Datang Furniture Factory to order rotating wooden chairs. It seems that your plan did not work. It works!"

Changsun Wuji said with some dissatisfaction: "Dad, I didn't expect that Du He... he could convince Yi Guogong and Lu Guogong that they gave Du He all the wood for the renovation of the mansion. What do you think? Are the two crazy to support Du He in doing such a thing!"

Chang Sun Chong really couldn't figure it out.

In the past, when he and Du He were still together, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin never had a good look towards Du He, and Cheng Yaojin even said that he would teach Du He a lesson for Du Ruhui.

It's only been less than a month, and Du He has gotten to the point where both Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin support him.

After thinking for a while, the eldest grandson Chong suddenly said: "Father, don't worry, I have already found a solution. This time, Du He will definitely not be able to sell even a single chair!"

Chang Sunchong suddenly came to his senses: "What way?"

Chang Sun Chong laughed and said: "Father, you don't know yet, right now, the person who hates Du He to death is His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness wants to attack Du He even more than we do, and the Prince's teacher, Kong Yingda, heard that Du He It is even more furious to sell a large number of rotating wooden chairs to replace the ritual of sitting upright that originally belonged to scholars, and has united with many Confucian disciples to persuade Du He to give up promoting the rotating wooden chairs."

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he immediately felt that this matter was no small matter.

"Du He, actually alarmed Master Kong, hahaha, this time, he will feel better..."

……

On the morning of the next day.

Kong Yingda, the concubine of the crown prince who never appeared very often, unexpectedly went to court.

Many people rushed to greet him.

Kong Yingda is nearly 60 years old. In this era, he is definitely considered old. With gray hair, although he is on crutches, he is in good spirits.

This guy has a lot of background, he is the 31st grandson of Confucius, and he is the leading figure of Confucianism in this era. Among the civil officials in the Manchu Dynasty, one-fifth of them are his disciples.

What's more, now Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism stand side by side, and the influence of Confucianism is also very huge.

Seeing this, Li Er asked in surprise: "Master Kong didn't rest in the East Palace, why did he come to court so early in the morning?"

Kong Yingda came to Li Er, made a salute, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is going to the palace today, and I have something to ask for!"

Hearing this, everyone was secretly surprised.

Kong Yingda has been a literati all her life, and she would ask His Majesty for something?

Chapter 50

In the Tai Chi Hall, not only the civil and military ministers, but also Li Er was full of doubts.

"Master Kong, please tell me something! I will definitely satisfy you." Li Er said.

Kong Yingda scanned the surrounding ministers, and finally his eyes fell on Du Ruhui.

He only heard him speak slowly: "Your Majesty, I heard that Du He, the son of Lord Lai, has been selling revolving wooden chairs in Chang'an City these days. Is there such a thing?"

Li Er nodded, pointed to the rotating wooden chair under his buttocks, and said, "That's right, this rotating wooden chair was developed by Du He himself. I have tried it for a long time, and it is indeed very convenient and easy to use."

Ever since he sat on the rotating wooden chair, Li Er felt that his legs didn't hurt anymore, his waist didn't hurt anymore, and he felt more confident when he spoke.

But now there is only such a chair, and it is brought to the Tai Chi Hall when going to court, and it is usually placed in the Imperial Study Room.

Li Er added: "Master Kong, you are old, and your knees must also often hurt. This rotating wooden chair is just right for you. I suggest that you also go to Datang Furniture Factory and order a batch of rotating wooden chairs from Du He." A wooden chair is it!"

The majestic emperor actually advertised to Du He himself.

The ministers were all shocked!

Seeing this, Kong Yingda said with a serious face: "Think twice, Your Majesty. Since the Zhou Dynasty, people in the Central Plains have practiced the ceremony of sitting upright. Until the introduction of the bed and chairs in the Han Dynasty, the people at the bottom began to abandon the ceremony of sitting upright. I haven’t forgotten this etiquette, sitting upright until today is still the etiquette of the Central Plains. Now Du He makes a rotating wooden chair. It sounds like it has nothing to do with the Hu chair, but I think it’s still a Hu chair. If you let the Hu chair be promoted, One day, the whole world will no longer have the ceremony of sitting upright, so wouldn’t we be completely lost in the Central Plains? What’s the difference between officials in the Central Plains and barbarians who drink blood like hair?”

Kong Yingda's words were like a big stone thrown into a calm lake, causing huge waves.

Immediately, several people jumped out to agree with his proposal.

"Master Kong is right. I, Tang Dynasty, disdain to work with barbarians. This barbarian chair must not be promoted!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice, once this precedent is set, won't it make people think that our Han family culture is willing to degenerate?"

"Your Majesty, please issue an order immediately to punish Du He and make him stop producing rotating wooden chairs."

For a while, there was a lot of discussion.

There are quite a few supporters of Kong Yingda.

Most of these people are orthodox Confucian children.

On the contrary, a group of veterans who followed Li Er to conquer the world did not speak.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin couldn't stand it anymore, stood up and said: "Master Kong, you are scaremongering. This rotating wooden chair was made by Du He himself. What does it have to do with the Hu chair? My old Cheng also sat on the Hu chair. , that thing can't compare with the rotating wooden chair at all!"

"I have also experienced this rotating wooden chair, it is very comfortable! Why should it be banned?"

"I think Master Kong is serious. He is just sitting on a rotating wooden chair. He will never reach the point of abandoning the etiquette of the Central Plains!"

As soon as Cheng Yaojin started, many supporters of Du He stood up.

Immediately, the court hall became noisy and noisy like the vegetable market.

Li Er sat on the top, couldn't stand it anymore, stood up, shook his sleeves, and said: "There is no need to discuss this matter again. I have always used reason to convince people in governing the country. It is really a shame to prohibit Du He from producing rotating wooden chairs like this." Unreasonable, if Master Kong thinks it is reasonable, go to Du He to argue, I don't want to take care of this matter!"

If Li Er hadn't personally experienced the various benefits of the rotating wooden chair, he might have supported the proposal of Kong Yingda and others.

But he is already used to the rotating wooden chair, and he can't even do without it. If the production and sale of the rotating wooden chair are banned at this time, how can he use the rotating wooden chair in the future?

Zhao Yang, the servant next to him, hastily shouted, "Retire!"

Ministers filed out of the Tai Chi Hall.
