Chapter 100:

In the court, Yi Fan was surrounded by a group of civil servants and asked him to tell me why he wanted to discuss Confucius and Cai Lun. Seeing this situation, if Yi Fan could not explain everything, he would obviously not be able to get out of the court.

Yi Fan in the crowd was not panicked, and only heard him say, "As the saying goes, Cangjie creates characters, and the sages leave books. Since the wise Cangjie created characters, our Chinese have written and civilization.

And the ancestors of all dynasties crystallized their own thoughts and used their words to store them in the world, so our China has its own inheritance.”

Speaking of this, Yi Fan thought of some things and felt quite heavy. He took a deep breath and said, "However, our inheritance has not been smooth. Since the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin in the late Han Dynasty, the land of China has been in war and was not unified until the previous dynasty."

Yi Fan looked around for a while and saw that all the civil servants were worried and silent.

"In that war-torn era, the classics made of bamboo slips were too bulky and inconvenient to carry. In order to escape the war, people had to abandon these books and only carry some light objects. Among them were books made by Cai Hou's paper, which retained my Chinese heritage."

Speaking of this, the civil officials also understood the importance of paper, and at the same time figured out why Yi Fan wanted to discuss Cai Lun and Confucius. Cangjie created civilization, and the saints and wise men left behind the inheritance, so Cai Hou's paper guaranteed that the inheritance would not be cut off.

Yi Fan exhaled for a long time, and there was another person in his heart that could be saged, that was Bi Sheng, who invented movable type printing. However, Bi Sheng would not be born until the Song Dynasty. Only the combination of printing and papermaking is the fundamental to ensure that Chinese civilization will not be cut off.

The four ancient civilizations in the world, but the Chinese civilization has not been cut off. Why? It’s all because of the four inventions. Papermaking and printing can ensure that our civilization is continuous and more brilliant.

At the same time, they are also very terrifying weapons. For thousands of years, we have only used this weapon passively and have hardly used it actively.

The other two great inventions are compass and gunpowder.

The compass can ensure that we travel around the world without losing its roots. Gunpowder can protect ourselves and attack. However, our ancestors were so powerful that they could only make the world look up to. Therefore, we proudly played gunpowder like fireworks.

What would it be if we started to travel around the world with printed books in one hand and compass and gunpowder in the other?

Wherever we go, those who are obedient will give them books and let them accept advanced Chinese civilization. Those who are disobedient will give them gunpowder and then give them books. This is the most skillful way for Europeans.

Unconsciously, the civil servants surrounding Yi Fan had quietly faded away. Although they still had grudges in their hearts, they were irrefutable.

"Haha..." Li Shimin's cheerful laughter echoed in the court on the dragon throne. After laughing, Li Shimin said, "What peace says is reasonable."

Yi Fan helped Li Shimin solve the opposition of all court officials, so Li Shimin was naturally in a good mood.

Li Shimin suddenly looked solemn, and looked at Yi Fan and said, "The King of Ping An receives the order."

Upon hearing this, Yi Fan was stunned at first, then reacted and bowed and said, "I am here."

Li Shimin said loudly: "Ping'an Wang Yifan is appointed as the supervisor of Qianxing, and is in charge of Qianxing's affairs. Ping'an Wang Yifan is appointed as the chief examiner of the craftsman's imperial examination and presided over the selection of talents for the country. I am here."

Yi Fan was a little confused. He didn't expect Li Shimin to hand over these two things to him, and he was stunned for a moment. When Yi Fan came back to his senses and wanted to say something, a voice interrupted him.

"Sir, please wait!"

Ang Lee entered the court with dust and his clothes were broken, and even his hair was scattered a few strands, flying in the air as he walked. Ang Lee looked like this, obviously he had just had a fight with someone.

The people in the court gathered their eyes on Ang Lee and moved with his steps. Ang Lee walked to Li Shimin and leaned over to Li Shimin's ear and started talking secretly.

Ang Lee was talking in Li Shimin's ear. Li Shimin's originally smiling face gradually sinks, and his eyes glance at Yi Fan from time to time.

As Ang Lee said secretly, Li Shimin's brows became tighter and tighter, and his eyes became more and more complicated when he looked at Yi Fan.

Seeing this situation, Yi Fan was confused. It was obvious that Ang Lee's secret words must have something to do with him. As for what exactly happened, it is unknown.

After a while, Ang Lee straightened his waist and stood beside Li Shimin, stopping his words.

At this time, everyone in the court saw that something was wrong, and they held their breath and stopped making a sound. For a moment, the court was really a needle that could be heard.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said, "Ping An, can you recognize a woman named Yang Su?" Li Shimin's tone was plain and he could not hear any joy or anger.

"Recognize it." Yi Fan thought to himself, could it be that Yang Su had committed something and implicated him? Thinking of this, Yi Fan hurriedly revealed his relationship with Yang Su, "Yang Su worked as a helper in my heaven and earth a few years ago, and later became rich. Now he has some business dealings with me."

Li Shimin nodded. What Yi Fan said was almost the same as what Ang Lee investigated. It is just that it is unknown whether the matter is as simple as the surface.

"Retreat the court! Xuanling and the auxiliary machine stay."

The court officials retreated one after another, and Yi Fan also followed the crowd, but was stopped by Ang Lee.

"King of Peace, the Lord has an order to let you stay in the palace for a few days. Please come with the old slave."

As he said that, two little eunuchs, one left and one right, were already standing behind Yi Fan. Ang Lee led the way.

Yi Fan frowned and did not move his steps.

Seeing this, a little eunuch said to Yi Fan: "Please move your way, don't make it difficult for the young people to do it." As he said that, he made a gesture of inviting him.

Yi Fan followed Ang Lee into an independent loft courtyard. There were people guarding the courtyard around him.

"King Ping'an will stay here for a few days." Ang Lee pushed open the attic gate, and then Ang Lee bowed to Yi Fan and said, "King Ping'an, I have offended you."

Ang Lee stretched out his hand and said, "I know that there is a crossbow arrow hidden in King Ping'an's sleeve. I also asked King Ping'an to hand it over to the old slave. When King Ping'an leaves the palace, the old slave will definitely return it."

Yi Fan frowned, but said nothing, untied the crossbow and threw it to Ang Lee. Before leaving, Li An pointed at the two eunuchs behind Yi Fan and said, "If King Ping'an has any needs, just tell them."

Ang Lee left, but the two eunuchs stayed and stood at the entrance of the attic.

Yi Fan found a room in the attic and sat down, sorted out the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and said to himself: "It must be that something happened to Yang Su, which implicated himself."

But no matter how Yi Fan thought, he couldn't think of anything that a girl, Yang Su, could do, which would alarm Ang Lee and make Li Shimin decide to put him under house arrest.

Shaking his head, Yi Fan no longer thought about why such a change occurred. The most important thing in front of him was his own safety.

Yi Fan couldn't help but touch his arms and felt relieved. Although he was trapped in the palace, as long as he planned it properly, it was not impossible to go out.
