My harem can't be this messy

After all, Li Zhi wants to bring them into the palace to raise them, so trusting each other is naturally the best ending.

Chapter 452

At this time, the team set off and went around the place where the bears were found in the autumn hunting this year. They also hunted down a few pheasants and rabbits, but the bears were nowhere to be seen.

Sure enough, when it snowed, these animals went into the mountains to hibernate.

When the team entered the Forbidden Garden, the most important thing was the silver fox. They had already caught it at this time, so they didn't stay any longer.

After exiting the Forbidden Garden, the princesses had already been playing with the four silver foxes, big and small.After all, this thing was raised by people, so it is easy to get close to and trust people.

Li Zhi looked at the elder sister, who was still holding the big fox in her arms at this time, and looked at the position where the big fox was lying, Li Zhi was very envious.

This is also really good at lying down, but you are a female fox, you can really lie down!

After entering the Taiji Palace, Li Zhi was naturally happy to take this brood of silver foxes to meet his mother. Empress Changsun looked at the snow-white foxes her daughters were holding, and was slightly surprised at first. He wasn't too afraid of people, so he touched the big fox's fur.

After being touched a few times, this guy let out a comfortable sob and roar, and turned over in Princess Changle's arms, allowing Empress Changsun to touch its soft belly.

"Hey, this thing is not afraid of people at all."

"Queen, they were raised by humans. We also used pheasants and rabbits to lure them into the bait."

"Since you were raised by someone, why did you appear in the Forbidden Garden?"

"The emperor doesn't know, but the queen mother likes it, so how about raising them in the Lizheng Hall?"

"Okay, it's not uncommon to have cats and dogs here in the harem, but it's the first time to have this kind of silver-white fox."

"The queen mother, Hengshan and Sizi raised the young one, and the queen mother raised the big one."

At this time, Empress Changsun took over the fox from Princess Changle's arms, and the little guy immediately scratched Empress Changsun's chest with his little paws, turned over from Empress Changsun's arms, and sniffed the scent of Empress Changsun carefully.

After a while snuggling up comfortably in the arms of Empress Zhangsun, there was actually a move that she didn't want to leave.

Li Zhi was angry when he saw that it was his mother's queen, and it was originally his territory.

"Zhi'er, how did you find out that this fox was raised by someone?"

"Zhi'er depends on feeling."

"Okay, you guys step back, Zhi'er, you stay."

In the Lizheng Palace, everyone retreated, and Empress Changsun caressed the pointed ears of the silver fox.

"Have you raised small animals before?"

"I used to raise it at home. When I was in school, a teacher raised a Satsuma who was the closest to me. Every time he stuck out his tongue and licked my hand."

"Female teacher?"

"Yeah, English teacher, just out of school, pretty, long hair, thin-rimmed glasses."

"Oh, from your tone you like her."

"Almost went to bed, but in the end she got scared, and I got scared too."

Empress Changsun smiled, and she could probably guess what happened at that time.

"Zhi'er, I have taught students before, but after teaching for two years, I left."

"It's great to be a teacher! Why doesn't Aunt Lin teach anymore?"

Li Zhi changed his name as he wished.

"The principal of the school is nothing."

"Where Aunt Lin goes, she can attract many men like wild beasts."

"Okay, let's not talk about this, did your father entrust you with something to do?"

"Yes, my father asked me to go to Hongwen Pavilion to print books, and Zhi'er plans to go there now."

"Well, now you must pay attention to what your father told you, and you know you have something to do, and you go hunting."

"Mother, don't worry, Zhi'er knows the seriousness, and will not delay father's affairs."

"By the way, Zhi'er, you always like to take off women's headdresses and let them wear shawls. Is it also related to your teacher?"

"She also likes to wear a cheongsam, and I like to spank her."

"Okay, back off!"

Li Zhi didn't move, but suddenly stretched out his hand on the fox in the arms of Empress Changsun, and then picked up the fox, Li Zhi buried his head there hard.

"You kid, you're messing around again. Well, stop messing around and get out of here quickly."

"Aunt Lin, let Zhi'er play around for a while longer."

"Okay, okay, don't you know the priorities now?"

Li Zhi raised his head, looked at Empress Changsun, and then reluctantly got up at this moment.

Putting the silver fox back into the arms of the queen mother, Li Zhi rubbed the furry body of the silver fox.

"Queen, what should I do with my imperial sister?"

"In Prince Jin's Mansion, you didn't do anything, did you?"

"No, Zhi'er is drunk and can't do anything."

"Stop messing around, your father can also find out what the queen mother can find out."

Li Zhi left the Lizheng Hall, took a few deep breaths, his chest was still heaving.

The queen mother can find out the things that the father can also find out. The mother is changing the way to tell herself that the emperor is sleeping with her, and the father knows about it.

Look at what's going on, hey, the Tianjia has so many eyes and ears!

Does this need to be covered up?Thinking of this, Li Zhi shook his head, still not pretending to be smart.

The queen mother should have already made arrangements here. Li Zhi believes that the queen mother's arrangement is better than his own. Sometimes she can brush away some serious things with a single word, just like brushing off the snow on the railing.

The little queen was playing with the little fox, and Li Zhi slowly walked out of the Lizheng Hall and walked towards Hongwen Pavilion.

This is the place where the royal family collects books, and the general father often summons his close officials here.

Next to it is the History Museum. This courtyard is actually the Great Royal Library.

When Li Zhi walked in, some officials immediately met King Jin and rushed over to greet him.

"Chen Shangguanyi has seen His Royal Highness King Jin, and His Highness came to Hongwen Pavilion. I don't know what it is?"

Shangguanyi, Li Zhi looked at the Hongwenguan official in front of him. Shangguanyi was appointed as a direct bachelor of Hongwenguan in the early years of Zhenguan, and later moved to Secretary Lang. It is not surprising that he is in Hongwen Pavilion at this time.

"My lord Shangguan is exempt from the ceremony. This king came here because of his father's arrangement. Didn't your lord Shangguan receive the imperial edict?"

"Well, I haven't been here in Hongwen Pavilion for the past few days. Come on, what's your majesty's order to convey here these few days?"

A small official from Hongwen Pavilion hurried over.

"Returning to Lord Shangguan, His Majesty had a decree a few days ago to ask His Royal Highness King Jin to come to Hongwen Pavilion to make books and ask Hongwen Pavilion to assist."

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

"This... this..."

"Okay, you step back! Your Highness, I wonder what kind of book your Highness wants to make?"

"Four Books and Five Classics, Confucianism and Mencius, Historical Records Zuo Zhuan Gongyang, five hundred volumes each."

"Your Highness, how long will this take?"

"Father is going to give it to all the ministers in the court on New Year's Eve."

"Your Highness, I don't have enough manpower and time here, I'm afraid it's..."

"It's okay, with my king here, these are not problems."

"Okay, now that the king is here, let's start preparations now. Find all the people who can engrave from Hongwen Pavilion, and go to the prison to ask for another twenty people who are proficient in engraving."

Chapter 453 Hongwen Pavilion

"Your Highness, how can there be someone who is proficient in engraving as a general prisoner?"

"Those craftsmen who usually carve relief carvings for pavilions, lofts and platforms will do."

Shangguanyi obviously still didn't understand, but there must be a reason for His Highness to order so. At this time, he called someone to be the chief supervisor. Naturally, it was in the name of His Highness. He, a secretary of Hongwen Pavilion, did not have this face.

A general will give His Royal Highness face, but it may not necessarily give him face as the secretary of Hongwen Pavilion.

Naturally, someone there ran to serve as the supervisor, and Shangguanyi also went to Hongwen Pavilion to find all the people who could engrave seals here.

Li Zhi randomly flipped through the Four Books and Five Classics here. The so-called Four Books and Five Classics, the Four Books refer to "Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects" and "Mencius", and the Five Classics refer to "The Book of Songs", "Book of Books", "Book of Rites", "Book of Changes" and "Spring and Autumn Annals".They are the main classics of Confucianism.

Of course, the Four Books and Five Classics at this time are still somewhat different from those of later generations, because Confucian classics are always changing and developing.

Li Zhi was flipping through a book of poetry, the one he was most familiar with. After flipping through it for a while, Shangguanyi brought a few people in.

"Your Highness, all the people you want are here, what else do you want?"

"Look for wood, it doesn't need to be too good, and then let someone make such a long and wide small piece of wood."

Li Zhi waited with his hands, and Shangguanyi nodded.

"Go to the prison and ask for some carpentry."

Naturally, Shangguanyi was busy here, and Li Zhi casually flipped through half of the "Book of Songs" at this time, and he no longer flipped through it.

"Master Shangguan, ask the people in Hongwen Pavilion to sort out the words in the book that are going to be used, sort out which words are used a lot, which words are used less, and which words are only used occasionally."

"Yes, Your Highness, this minister is going to prepare now."

"Well, you'll be busy with this these two days. While tidying up, let someone engrave on the small wooden blocks. The amount depends on the number of words in the book. You don't have to be too precise, it's about right."

"Also, the engraved words must be neat and tidy, and then sorted out."

"Your Highness, that's quite a lot."

"One book at a time, it doesn't take a while to finish it, and there is no need to engrave the repeated words."

"Yes, Your Highness, Shangguanyi has already remembered His Highness's instructions."

"By the way, there is one more thing. Since you have hired a carpenter who will be the prisoner, make a few more square cabinets, each with small squares, to store these batches of wood-cut movable type."

Shangguanyi still didn't understand why King Jin called it a woodcut type, but he agreed quickly.

When doing things for the royal family, you don't need to understand too much, just do as you are told.

After Li Zhi gave these instructions, he left. When he passed Changle Gate, he looked at the palace next to him. He didn't know how his aunt and cousin were doing in Xingyang, and when they would come back.

It's snowing now, so I probably won't be back soon, the journey is long and dangerous.

Li Zhi returned to Prince Jin's Mansion, and every day for these two days, Li Zhi went to the palace to meet his father and queen mother as usual, first went to the Ganlu Hall, and then went to the Lizheng Hall.

Li Zhi remembered the matter between himself and his sister Huang. When he went to Ganlu Hall for the past two days, he always unknowingly checked his father's complexion. On the surface, he was naturally concerned about his father, to see how his father looked.

In fact, it is to see if the emperor is angry with him because of this matter. The fact is that Tang Zong always looks very happy when King Jin is here these two days.

He likes to talk to Li Zhi about the things in Xingyang the most, and Li Zhi has even told Li Zhi about some of the incidents several times.

Sometimes Li Zhi couldn't make sense of it. His father was only excited when he heard some things once or twice. How come his father was still so happy after telling it four or five times.

Especially the part where he palmed Mrs. Zheng's family and punched Zheng's family. Li Zhi said it at least seven or eight times, and his father was still as excited as when he first heard it.

Did the ancients also like to watch faces slapped so much?

Apart from Zheng's affairs, Tang Zong and Li Zhi talked most about Hongwen Pavilion's book production. Li Zhi also went to Hongwen Pavilion every day for the past two days, and he was most concerned about this matter. When his father asked questions, he answered fluently.

The movable type used in the Book of Songs today is basically ready. Li Zhi specially stayed in Hongwen Pavilion for most of the day, letting a large house be vacated, and then personally demonstrated how to make a book with movable type.

Li Zhi printed five or six pages with his own hands, and the people at Hongwen Pavilion have naturally learned it.Shangguanyi naturally admired King Jin's method of printing calligraphy.

Li Zhi only heard him say that His Highness's move is comparable to Cang Jie's invention of characters.

Li Zhi didn't want to be praised so much, so he asked Shangguanyi not to say it again.

It's just that Lang, the secretary of Hongwen Pavilion at this time, is still excited and doesn't know what to say as a civil servant who wants to be the minister of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

Li Zhi only let him go to work, and walked out of Hongwen Pavilion by himself. It was getting late outside, and before he knew it, most of the day passed.

Li Zhi was about to leave Hongwen Pavilion and was about to go back to Prince Jin's Mansion, where several people had already chased a snow-white figure to this side.

"Ninth brother, you are here!"
