The fake eunuch who lurked in the palace

Li Yi knocked on his head and took Yin Cheng to the Imperial College.

All official books and publications in Daqian were printed by the Imperial College, which used engraving printing.

Li Yi visited the printing factory and frowned secretly.

The total number of people is less than 200. This is really a lack of attention.

After looking around, Li Yi went to the Tang Mingji where the Imperial Academy offered wine.

The Tang family is no stranger to eunuch Li Yi, so don't get too involved.

First it was the Ancestral Temple, then the wine, and then Xiaoyi and Xin'er.

As for favors, there is no doubt that I owe a lot and it is not easy to pay them back.

The Tang family basically agreed to Li Yi's request.

Yinzi even loaded carriages one by one for Li Yi, hoping that he could make all the favors disappear.

Li Yi is smart and never asks for anything.

The Tang family's concepts of being active and being passive are different.

If he doesn't take the initiative, no matter how much the Tang family gives, this favor cannot be completely eliminated. In the future, if Li Yi encounters difficulties, the Tang family will take action even if he pinches his nose.

Fortunately, Li Yi is not a treacherous person. He is very measured and knows what he can and cannot do.

The only bad thing is that Xiaoyi has a crush on Li Yi.

A eunuch doesn't know what to do with being so handsome.

If Li Yi knew that everyone in the Tang family was complaining about him so much, he would have to roll up his sleeves and argue with them. Why, it's my fault for being so handsome! It's not like he let Tang Yimeng see it.

The little girl is very discerning and discerning!

"What are you doing here? Is there anything else you want to mess with in the Imperial College?"

Tang Mingji is Tang Zhengqi's father. Through his son, we can roughly judge his father's virtue.

This is not a strict scholar, he is very out of the ordinary, but the strange thing is that he entered the Imperial College and served as a wine worshipper in the Imperial College.

I don’t know if the Tang family got involved through connections.

If he was really talented and learned, Li Yi took a look at him. He was a middle-aged Confucian scholar with a folding fan on his waist. He couldn't tell anything else, but he was sure that he was a sultry person.

"I'm curious to ask why the printing factory is an important institution but has so few staff. Could it be that you have been greedy for money?"

The relationship between Li Yi and the Tang family cannot be explained clearly in a few words, which leads to him speaking very casually.

"I can't even look at the money from the Imperial College for nothing." Tang Mingji blew a mouthful of tea and said, "The emperor doesn't care about education."

"Most scholars are attached to aristocratic families, and they are not short of a few shabby books printed by the imperial court."

"As for ordinary people, they are reluctant to part with this money."

"In addition to annual tasks, the printing factory is basically put on hold at other times."

"You just let it go?" Li Yi raised his eyebrows.

"Otherwise, you have to pay out of your own pocket?"

"Even if books are widely distributed and no one teaches them, they are nothing more than waste paper."

"In addition, this move will attract the hostility of the noble families and control the scholars, thereby increasing their own right to speak. If you try to break it and infringe on their interests, they can beat you to death."

"If the emperor is diligent in governing and takes drastic measures, the situation can be changed. Scholars will no longer come from major families, and poor children can also have a bright future."

"But you should know best what happens to the Emperor."

Tang Mingji opened the folding fan and said leisurely.

Li Yiqing raised his eyebrows and said goodbye to Tang Mingji without saying anything more.

Tang Mingji looked at his back and put away the folding fan. Li Yi was a capable person, but he was very ambitious. It didn't take long before he set his sights on the printing factory.

To be more precise, he wanted to break the situation completely.

If you take steps in a hurry, you will easily lose your temper.

Tsk, confused, Tang Mingji tapped his head with a folding fan, Li Yi was a eunuch, he had no eggs.

At most, the hot tofu will burn your mouth.

Not long after Li Yi left, an imperial edict was issued to the Imperial College, asking Tang Mingji to expand the scale of the printing factory and carry out reorganization.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

Holding the imperial edict, Tang Mingji shook his head. This time, he was extremely unfavorable to Li Yi.

Young people still suffer less.

If you suffer more setbacks, you won't be so impulsive in the future.

"Duke, Miss Tang family asked you to have a talk at Qing teahouse."

Everyone came forward to Li Yi to report.

Li Yi nodded, put down his pen, stood up, stretched, and stepped out.

Tang Xin quietly sipped tea, and his every move was impeccably elegant.

While looking at the tea and waiting, Tang Xin suddenly remembered those days in that small room with Li Yi, and his eyebrows couldn't help but become trance-like.

"What are you thinking about, so fascinated?"

Li Yi looked at her. He had already come in, but Tang Xin didn't respond.

"Miss you."

Looking at Li Yi's face, Tang Xin, who had not yet fully recovered, opened her lips. As soon as the words came out, she immediately reacted and added, "Why haven't you come yet?"

"It will take time to get here, Mousai-san, and you didn't give me wings."

Li Yi leaned back in his chair and said, "It's rare that Miss Tang would take the initiative to find me after being apart for so long."

"If you want to borrow money, don't ask, so as not to hurt your feelings."

"... "

"Did you agree to Xiaoyi?"

Tang Xin pursed his lips and spoke slowly.

Li Yi looked at Tang Xin, picked up the tea and took a sip, "Miss Tang Er is so outspoken. She doesn't hesitate to be ridiculed by everyone in the world, but she also wants to defend me. I can't help feeling this."

"Li Yi, you can't give her a future."

Tang Xin raised his eyes with a serious look on his face, "I always thought you were clear-minded, but why are you as confused as her?"

"No matter how powerful you are, the Tang family will not give Xiaoyi to you."

"You have to try everything." Li Yi walked to the window, waited for a while, and then said, "I gave her a few years, enough for her to calm down her impulse."

"If a few years later, she feels that it was just an act of youth and ignorance, I will pretend that nothing happened, but if her mind has not changed, I will keep my promise to her.

"Li Yi."

Tang Xin frowned, "Are you really happy with Xiaoyi?"

"I'm not a person who plays with emotions. When I heard that she fell off the cliff, I panicked. Fortunately, the vines and branches along the way cushioned the force."

"She was just shaken and slightly injured."

"If the second lady hadn't expressed her feelings, I might have buried this feeling deeply, diluted it, and let it become a beautiful thing in my memory."

"But since we are in love and she can stay in the courtyard for me, I should work hard for her."

"Li Yi..."

Tang Xin stared at him, her red lips twitching slightly, but she didn't say anything.

She couldn't bear to hurt his self-esteem. The word "eunuch" should be the deepest scar in his heart.

"I will persuade Xiaoyi to let it go." Tang Xin lowered his eyes and whispered.

As a sister, Tang Yimeng is young and ignorant, and does not know how terrible the world is. She has to plan for her.

Tang Yimeng had to live in ridicule for the rest of his life when a noble girl married an eunuch.

"It's just a different position. From your point of view, it's understandable. You don't have to think that this move hurts me."

Li Yi turned around and smiled at Tang Xin, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
