The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 126

[Chapter 126 Instructions]

“What does the notice say?”

Emperor Chu looked at the eunuch and asked.

The eunuch lowered his head and repeated.

After hearing this, Emperor Chu finally understood why the Queen Mother was so angry.

The Ministry of Rites defined “The Romance of the West Chamber” as reading material that was offensive to morals and degrading to elegance.

Doesn’t it mean that people who like this book are also immoral and degrading to politeness?

How could the Queen Mother endure such an insult?

After hearing about this, he was so angry that he fainted in the palace, which is understandable.

Emperor Chu understood the whole story and was a little embarrassed.

The Ministry of Rites listed these three books as banned books. Although it was not his intention, it was a mistake and played into his heart.

But

now, because of this matter, the Queen Mother is so angry that it would be inappropriate both emotionally and rationally to list it as a banned book.

What’s more, who knows if the Queen Mother will have a recurrence of her old illness when she thinks of this matter after taking a rest.

The Queen Mother is already old and cannot withstand such troubles.

Emperor Chu thought for a while and decided to put the Queen Mother’s phoenix body first.

Sighing, he ordered Liu Chengdao: “I hereby order the doctor of the Ministry of Rites to withdraw the proclamation.”

The Ministry of Rites here refers to the Rites Department under the Ministry of Rites, which is responsible for matters of ritual and music.

Liu Cheng heard it and understood instantly.

This doctor from the Ministry of Rites took the blame for no reason.

Still couldn’t say anything.

There was no way, who made the Queen Mother like “The

Romance of the West Chamber”? Just as he was about to go down to deliver the order, he heard Emperor Chu say: “Wait a minute, go and deliver the message first to Fang Xiu to enter the palace.”

Liu Cheng was slightly startled, and immediately accepted the order: “Yes, Your Majesty .”

The carriage was driving on the road to the palace.

Fang Xiu felt a little uneasy.

Entering the palace this time was only a few days away from the last time.

I always feel that some of them enter the palace a little too frequently.

It is estimated that if this continues, within a few days, I will be able to reach the Yangxin Palace without a eunuch to lead the way.

The carriage moved very quickly, and in less than an hour, it stopped in front of the palace.

When he got off the car, he saw Liu Cheng getting off the carriage from behind.

As if aware of Fang Xiu’s gaze, the great eunuch, the ancestor mentioned by the eunuchs, actually showed a flattering smile on his face.

This smiling expression fell into Fang Xiu’s eyes, but there was a chill in his eyes, and he felt goosebumps all over his body.

If I wanted to ask, I didn’t ask and walked straight into the palace gate.

On the way, Liu Cheng always maintained this smiling expression.

When he was about to reach the Yangxin Hall, Fang Xiu finally couldn’t help it and asked: “Eunuch Liu, what do you mean by this expression? Is

there something inappropriate about this young master that makes you feel uncomfortable?

If so. It’s better to tell the matter. I am not an unreasonable person. If you tell me anything, it will be easier for everyone to solve it.” When

Liu Cheng heard this, he looked bitter and said in embarrassment: “Mr. Fang, you said no last time. “I like our family to laugh, but I also don’t like our family not to smile, our family”

, but the words that followed could not be said.

He only felt that it was not possible

to smile bitterly , nor to not smile, but now it was still not possible to smile but not to smile.

He really didn’t know what expression to use.

Fang Xiu’s expression was a little strange.

At that time, he just said it casually, but he didn’t expect that this guy actually remembered it.

He waved his hands and said, “I just said casually. Eunuch Liu will laugh if he wants to, and he won’t laugh if he doesn’t want to. Just don’t look at me with this expression again.”

After Fang Xiu finished speaking, he stopped going. Looking at Liu Cheng’s expression, he walked straight into the Yangxin Hall.

“Your Majesty, I am going to see you!”

This was the fourth time he came to Nuan Pavilion. Fang Xiu was already familiar with the road and bowed uprightly.

Emperor Chu sat on the dragon chair and looked at Fang Xiu with a strange expression.

For this young man, his feelings have always been complicated.

On the one hand, they cherish his talent and want to entrust him with important responsibilities and train him to become a talented king and a good prime minister of the Chu Empire.

But on the other hand, I can’t blame him for his lazy style and greedy personality.

In particular, he was quite dissatisfied with his immersion in the ways of merchants.

No matter what, this is the story of Zhongliang, and he can also say “Be worried about the world’s worries first, and be happy after the world’s happiness”, which is the warm words of the people of the world.

He is always treated kindly.

“Get back on your feet.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Fang Xiu stood up, looked at Emperor Chu, and blinked.

Emperor Chu was startled for a moment, then he immediately reacted and said, somewhat dumbfounded, “Give me a seat.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Beside him, a eunuch moved a chair.

Fang Xiu sat down and stopped talking.

For the emperor, he had only one principle.

If you can’t afford to offend, you can always hide.

If nothing happens, try not to provoke him unless there are special circumstances, such as this pro-military competition.

But…

unexpectedly, what Emperor Chu was talking about was not the pro-army competition, but another matter.

“Fang Qing, do you know Zhuxuan Zhai?”

Emperor Chu looked at Fang Xiu with a playful expression.

Fang Xiu raised his eyes and glanced at Emperor Chu. In an instant, he knew something in his mind.

He stood up and said: “I dare not deceive Your Majesty. Zhuxuanzhai was opened by someone I sent, and the three books in it were also written by someone I asked someone to write.

If there is really something inappropriate in the book, I am willing to assist the Kyoto Prefecture and will write it.” The literati who wrote these three books have been arrested and brought to justice, but

their whereabouts are uncertain, especially Pu Songling, who is good at describing ghosts and ghosts. He often lives in the suburbs, and even I don’t know where they are.”

“Okay. “

The Emperor of Chu glanced at Fang Xiu and said: “The matter of Zhuxuan Zhai is the decision of the doctor of the Ministry of Rites. I have issued an order

not to mention this matter again in the future.”

Fang Xiu was a little surprised.

Issue an order?

It shouldn’t be.

It’s just three books of idle love stories. Compared with the majesty of the imperial court, it’s nothing.

It stands to reason that even if the ban is really wrong, it should be just a perfunctory statement and some compensation in private.

How could it be possible to retract the proclamation that had already been issued and still give orders to the doctor of the Ministry of Rites?

Is it because of Zhao Yi?

As soon as this idea appeared, he was rejected by Fang Xiu.

A little princess, no matter how favored she is, cannot change the decision of the officials.

Just when Fang Xiu was puzzled, Emperor Chu said again: “Even so, the mob that gathered to make trouble at the entrance of Zhuxuan Zhai should not be leniently spared.”

After saying that, he gave Fang Xiu a deep look.

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat.

I instantly understood Emperor Chu’s voiceover.

After thinking for a while, he said, “I understand.”

From now on, Zhuxuanzhai will need to let some benefits come out.

Only by allowing other bookstores to be qualified to sell “The Romance of the West Chamber” can Emperor Chu’s doubts be dispelled.

After all, the current influence of Zhuxuanzhai in the capital is indeed somewhat inappropriate.

Emperor Chu knew that Fang Xiu was a very smart man.

Some words don’t need to be said too much, they will be understood naturally.

After a pause, he added: “Besides, I would like to hear what you think about the pro-military review.”
