- After waiting and looking forward to it, it was finally time to reward according to merit. Even though he was mentally prepared, Tang Song couldn't help but feel a little dry when he heard this sentence.
"I am the next Bai Shen. It is an honor to be entrusted with important tasks by His Majesty. Although I have achieved a little success with a small amount of work, it is natural for me as a citizen of Wuzhou to serve the emperor. Your Majesty can remember this. A mere small achievement is already a great kindness, so how dare you ask for a reward?"
"Oh! You really don't want the reward?"
Seeing Wu Zetian's half-smiling expression, Tang Song decisively changed his mind and said with a smile: "Your Majesty gave it to me, and I dare not refuse it. Since Your Majesty must reward it, how about I please give it to me?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole Yaoguang Hall could hear needles dropping. Wu Zetian looked at Tang Song's smiling face for a while and then smiled, "Wan'er, he wants you by name, what do you think?"
Shangguan Wan'er grew up in a cold palace, and the calm skills she cultivated for sixteen years by Wu Zetian's side were perfectly displayed at this moment. Although her heart was in turmoil, the expression on her face was unwavering, and she even looked at her with anger. He glanced at Tang Song and said, "To make fun of my maiden like this, Tang Song is spoiled by your majesty for daring to do this! Your majesty probably doesn't know how famous he is among the people of the scholarly community now. Tsk tsk, I don't know how many young ladies waiting to be named in the boudoir have done it." Holding the "Chapter of Pearls and Jade" and reciting, "When the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will conquer countless people in the world". Day and night, I look forward to seeing him, so that my dream of a talented man and a beautiful woman can be fulfilled. How can a romantic man like him really like his daughter? Is this someone more than ten years older than her?"
"He is using the girl as a pretext, because he knows that His Majesty will never give her to him. He just thought that after this rejection, if he asks for any reward, Your Majesty will not be able to refuse it again. .Isn¡¯t this what His Majesty calls ¡®quick thinking¡¯?¡±
After Shangguan Wan'er finished speaking, Wu Zetian laughed rarely. Pointing his finger, Tang Song said: "I am willing to reward you today. If you continue to make jokes, no wonder I have changed my mind."
At this time, Tang Song also understood that today's adventure was in vain. Although he felt very sad, he still had to keep a joke-like smile on his face to match Shangguan Wan'er's words and Wu Zetian's views, "That's it. It was only then that I was sure that Your Majesty really wanted to reward me, so I would like to ask for a Hongwen Seal Society, hoping that His Majesty would approve it."
"Wan'er. I really let you tell me. He really has big plans! Good land and beautiful houses, gold, silver, pearls and jade. As long as you open your mouth, I will not refute you. But Hongwen Seal Society"
Wu Zetian walked around for a long time, looked at Tang Song several times, and then said slowly, "That's all, I won't be a petty person, I'll give it to you, but I also have two."
Although Hongwen Yinshe was run by Tang Song single-handedly. But the money came from the Yangzhou Shipping Department, which actually came from the inner treasury, or more directly from Wu Zetian.
In the Tang Dynasty, setting up a printing press was a very expensive business, let alone one as large as Hongwen Printing Society. In a short period of time, Hongwen Seal Society was able to reach its present scale only with money as flowing as water. It can be said that without Wu Zetian footing the bill, no matter how talented Tang Song was, he would never be where he is today.
So in the final analysis. Hongwen Seal Society still belongs to Wu Zetian. As long as this fact remains unchanged, it means that Hongwen Seal Society may have changes at any time. For example, if Wu Zetian suddenly sends someone to take over Hongwen Seal Society one day to take his place in charge of Hongwen Seal Society, what will happen then?
Give? Or not?
This time, Karamatsu¡¯s real focus in asking for the Hongwen Seal Society is the dominance of the Seal Society. The bottom line is that he cannot be replaced at will. He didn't dare to think that Wu Zetian could give him the entire sealing company that the inner palace had invested so much money in. He was already prepared to bargain, so he could accept the conditions for Wu Zetian, "What two? Please, Your Majesty" expressly
"First, how much money has the inner treasury invested in Hongwen Yinshe? You need to pay back a penny. If you don't pay it back in one day, Hongwen Yinshe will no longer be yours. How about it?"
"This is natural, please remember it"
"Second, every time Hongwen Printing opens an edition, regardless of whether it is printing various volumes or the "Qingyin Hongwen Bimonthly", ten copies must be submitted to the inner palace for filing. Have you remembered it?"
Although it was a question, Wu Zetian turned sideways to Shangguan Wan'er before waiting for Tang Song to answer: "I've left these two matters to you. You can allow him to pay back the first one slowly, but you have to pay close attention to the second one." some"
"The minister obeys the decree"
Is this probably China¡¯s earliest printed matter censorship system? Although he cursed in his heart, Tang Song didn't dare to say it out loud, so he could only bow and agree.
"The money and food flowing out from the inner treasury has created such a big family business for you, what else are you dissatisfied with? If it weren't for the fact that your Hongwen Seal Society is different from other seal houses, I wouldn't understand. I really want to see you exert yourselfAfter counting, what will we finally come up with, and what will we come up with? How could I play with you like this? "
"Satisfied, satisfied. I'm really grateful"
Wu Zetian smiled and waved his hand, "I'll just wait and see. Besides, how is your injury?"
??Could we talk about an assassination case? Tang Song pointed to the unbroken white sweat on his forehead, "I don't dare to deceive Your Majesty. If you want to walk as usual, I'm afraid it will take a while."
"Then I will give you another month to recover from your injuries. During this period, you are not allowed to leave the capital. Once the one month is up, you will go to the imperial city to find Lu Qing. The matter of the Fourth Family has been settled. What you should do in the future will be up to Lu Qing. This is your arrangement."
What new tasks are there? Why are you looking for Lu Yuanfang?
Tang Song was confused. When he was about to ask again, Wu Zetian waved his hand and said softly: "Your injury has not healed yet, so it is not appropriate to stay here longer and go back to recuperate. There is no need to think too much about Lu Qing, you will know by then."
After saying that, Wu Zetian ordered Shangguan Wan'er to arrange a carriage to escort Tang Song out of the palace.
At this point, it was inconvenient for Tang Song to stay any longer, so he still sat on his shoulder and left the palace. During this meeting, Wu Zetian never mentioned a word about the assassination, and Tang Song didn't ask a word.
Faintly, Tang Song even felt that the reason why Wu Zetian gave the Hongwen Seal Society to him after hesitating just now was that she was most likely thinking of the assassination.
?Perhaps this is another way of compensation?
Shangguan Wan'er did not send him off and talk to him as before, but returned to Yaoguang Palace as soon as Tang Song left.
When Shangguan Wan'er came back, she saw Wu Zetian standing in front of the window. Lianbu stepped forward and followed Wu Zetian's gaze, and happened to see the shoulder carriage that Tang Song was riding disappearing into the shadow of weeping willows by the Ningbi Pond.
In response to this, Shangguan Wan'er just pretended not to see her and went to offer Wu Zetian a cup of fragrant tea with her own hands. While passing the tea cup, he said with a casual smile: "Tang Song entered the palace today and met with Chamberlain Zhang. At this time, I don't know how lively the fight among the palace people will be."
Wu Zetian sipped her tea and cursed with a smile, "These bastards!"
"Really, bastard" Shangguan Wan'er also laughed, "It's just that I'm also curious. Which one does Your Majesty think is more beautiful, Tang Song or Zhang's wife?"
After dealing with political affairs on weekdays, if Wu Zetian is in a good mood, she would like to talk to Guan Wan'er about these gossip topics. But it was only between the two of her, and it never involved important officials in the court. This has been a common practice for many years, so it is not unexpected for Shangguan Wan'er to ask this question at this time.
What answered her was Wu Zetian's sigh, "It's hard to have both in this world. And why aren't people like that?"
Although Wu Zetian never said it explicitly, her meaning was very clear.
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Not to mention what women Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er gossiped about, Tang Song rode the carriage all the way out of the palace. When he was changing to a carriage at the side entrance, he heard the guard on duty mention that today was a holiday, and his heart suddenly moved.
There was no concept of Sundays and weekends in the Tang Dynasty. The Imperial City and local government offices follow a rest system that requires one day off for every ten days of work. The day off is called "holiday", which means rest and bathing.
Tang Song got on the carriage and ordered the charioteer to go to Lu Yuanfang Mansion.
The four escorts on horseback exchanged complicated looks with each other and said nothing more.
Although he has no official title, he is favored by the emperor. After entering the palace, he was actually able to sit on his shoulders. As soon as he came out of the palace, he was about to go to the palace of the second prime minister. Although these four temporarily dispatched servants knew that Tang Song was not simple, they did not expect that he was not simple to this extent. At this point, everything was just following Tang Song's lead. They won't say anything more.
Lu Yuanfang didn¡¯t go out during the holidays, but he wasn¡¯t idle either. It wasn't until Karamatsu was led into the room that he looked up from a thick stack of official documents.
This meeting inevitably brought up the topic of the injury. From the injury to the assassination case, Lu Yuanfang was furious that Jingzhao Yamen had not been able to solve the case so far. He reiterated to Tang Song that he would take the case to the end.
In this regard, Karamatsu was grateful but really didn¡¯t know what to say.
After finishing this matter, Lu Yuanfang was obviously very happy when he mentioned another matter, "I received Xiang Xianxian the day before yesterday, and he mentioned that your science school has been improving recently, and I am very relieved."
Talking about this, Karamatsu was also happy. He was originally worried that the expansion of Hongwen Seal Society would lead to a serious shortage of students in the general science hall due to too many manpower transfers. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, in a letter from Dongjun, he said that not only have people taken the initiative to come to study recently, , and the number is increasing day by day.
Although Tang Song was happy, he could not help but be confused. After carefully reading the explanation in the letter, he understood?The reason why this situation occurred is actually thanks to the gift of Hongwen Seal Society.
Hongwen Yinshe rose too quickly in Jiangnan, and its influence was large enough. The news that all the chief leaders of Hongwen Yinshe's branches were from Tongxuetang slowly spread, which caused Tongxuetang to add more people out of thin air. Very attractive.
The dozen or so children who initially approached the General Science School to apply for admission were all the sons of the clerks employed by the Seal Society in various places. These people did not want their children to take any academic exams, but just hoped that they would be able to study here. After two years of studying, I can still find a job in Hongwen Seal Society, and I might also be able to find a career as a branch manager in the future. After all, Hongwen's great expansion and lack of manpower are already well known internally. What a great opportunity!
With the leader in charge, there will naturally be more and more people coming to study. Without exception, those who come to study are children from poor families, and they all come with the most practical purpose of learning things and finding jobs. Dongjun still feels about this. He was a little uneasy and had some worries in his letter, but Tang Song was very happy. In any case, he no longer had to deceive students. This was a huge step in the development of general science.
As for the purpose of the students coming here, it doesn¡¯t matter at all. People will change, and general education itself will naturally bring changes to them.
After talking about this for a while, Tang Song took the initiative to bring up the topic. After hearing what he said, Lu Yuanfang gave a rare smile, "Since His Majesty has already mentioned this matter, I will not hide it from you. A few days ago, I recommended you to become an official. Your Majesty has approved it. After you recover from your injuries, I will It¡¯s time for official distribution.¡±
Hearing this, Tang Song's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Are you going to become an official?
