He has been hesitating for a long time about the alliance with the State of Chu, and Emperor Chen will naturally not be idle enough to ask about even a banned book in person, but he just promised to come down with Concubine Shu and a few concubines, Jun has no jokes, do you want him to tell Concubine Shu now that the book they want to read has been banned by the imperial court?

Ling Yun thought for a moment and said, "It should be the decision of the two prime ministers after discussion. ”

Emperor Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "The two prime ministers will not be idle to ban a book, what is the reason for banning "The Legend of the West Chamber"?" ”

Ling Yun thought for a moment and said: "It is said that many imperial historians feel that this book describes the love between men and women, which will teach bad women and ...... immorality."

"There are more stories on the market that describe the love between men and women, why haven't I seen them banned before?" This reason obviously did not convince Emperor Chen.

Ling Yun thought about it again and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it is also said that in this book, Tang Zhao, the son of Tang Qi, a native of Dongtaishe, is alluded to, and in the book, he is exaggerated as a bully and a fool......

"Exaggeration?" Chen Huang was stunned, and couldn't help laughing, "Saying that his Tang Qi's son is a bully, where does it need to be exaggerated?" In order to maintain their face, the Tang family can really do anything, don't they know, in this way, everyone in the Jingshi knows that their Tang family is shameless? ”

"Your Majesty, then ...... this "Legend of the West Chamber""

Emperor Chen thought for a moment and said, "You take this book to me first." ”

"The Legend of the West Chamber" sold thousands of copies in one day when it was selling at its hottest, although the imperial court listed this book as a banned book and destroyed the inventory of major bookstores, but they could not destroy the books in other people's homes.

What's more, the bookstore on the surface can no longer be sold, but there are still many channels in the dark.

Not long after, Ling Yun integrated the seventeen volumes of "The Legend of the West Chamber" on the market and put them on Emperor Chen's desk.

Emperor Chen flipped through it roughly and said: "I didn't insinuate the Tang family, I only said that he Tang Zhao was a gentleman, could it be that he wronged his Tang family?" ”

"As for teaching bad women, it is immoral, and it is not so serious, according to this standard, more than half of the books on the market must be banned ......, but since it is banned, forget it." He looked at Ling Yun and said, "You have people check it, find out the author of this book, and ask him to send the last three volumes of "The Legend of the West Chamber" to the palace, and reward him with some silver as compensation." ”

Ling Yun bowed and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

……

The provincial test is approaching, and even Xiao Jue can't go out, cramming temporarily, but Tang Ning is running outside every day.

He's looking at the house.

Regardless of the outcome of the imperial examination two months later, he will probably stay in Beijing for a long time, so he naturally wants to choose a comfortable and satisfactory residence.

Fortunately, although the housing prices in Jingshi are more expensive than other places, they are not so expensive that they are miserable, and if you write two eunuch books, you can buy a house with a large area in the second ring of Jingshi.

It's a pity that after seeing many places, he is not satisfied.

A tooth man followed him out and said, "Guest officer, don't you want to take a look again, I have two other places here, which are quite suitable for you......"

Tang Ning waved his hand, the houses that these tooth people are looking for are not very reliable, so let's wait for the exam to finish the test and let Xiao Jue help find them, Xiao Xiao's grandfather should be more reliable than these tooth people.

Tang Yaoyao followed behind him, followed him to so many places, and couldn't help asking, "What kind of house are you looking for?" ”

"The location is better, the one is bigger." Tang Ning said a word, shook his head again, and said: "It's a pity that such a place has long been occupied, and it's hard to find." ”

As he walked down the street, a figure suddenly approached him and reached out to his bosom.

Seeing this, Tang Yaoyao behind him had already touched the hilt of the sword with one hand, only to see the man take out a booklet from his arms, and said mysteriously: "Childe, do you want a book, the added version of "The Legend of the West Chamber", read it alone at night, and you still want to read it!" ”

Someone selling pirated copies of the West Chamber can be understood, but he doesn't know what this "added version" is, so he took the booklet and said, "I'll take a look first." ”

He flipped through it casually, just looking at the catalog, he froze in place, and couldn't help licking his lips.

Where is this the added version of "The Legend of the West Chamber", which is clearly a glamorous homo changed according to "The Legend of the West Chamber".

And the author of this adaptation is not a person anymore, even if you write Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying, even the matchmaker will not let go of ......, she is sexy, she can understand if she doesn't let go of the matchmaker, this heartbroken person doesn't even let Mrs. Cui go!

Take a step back, Mrs. Cui is Mrs. Cui, maybe some people like this tune, but even Tang Zhao won't let it go, this is a bit too much......

Tang Yaoyao's head leaned over and asked, "What book, I'll take a look." ”

Tang Ning hurriedly closed the book, threw it to the man, and said, "It's nothing, let's go." ”

The man had some regret and some understanding.

There are beauties around you like this, and you really don't need to read this kind of book.

He looked left and right, found a new target, followed all the way, came to a young man in a Confucian shirt, and asked in a low voice: "Childe, do you want a book, "The Legend of the West Chamber", the added version, there are Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying******"

"Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying****** what's so good?" The young man glanced at him and continued to walk forward.

"I don't like to watch Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying, as well as Zhang Sheng and the matchmaker......"

"Hey, don't go, Childe, Mrs. Cui, do you like to watch it?"

The young man paused and asked in a low voice, "How much?" ”

Tang Ning originally wanted to go to Songzhu Zhai to have a look, but when he walked over with Tang Yaoyao, he saw several officials standing at the door of Songzhu Zhai from a distance.

Shopkeeper Peng stood at the door and said helplessly: "Lord Guancha, I really don't know Li Qing, he wears a cloak every time he comes, and I don't know what he looks like or what his identity is......"

It seems that his original decision was right, one more identity, one more layer of protection, Li Qing's trumpet has been abolished, and Li Zhao can be considered next time.

When the two walked through the gate of Songzhuzhai, the palace, Lingyun walked into the imperial study.

Emperor Chen looked at him, frowned, and said, "It's been a few days, and you haven't found out yet?" ”

Ling Yun bowed and said, "Back to Your Majesty, Li Qing's identity has been found out." ”

"Found out?" Chen Huang looked at him and said, "Then don't go quickly!" ”

Ling Yun raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, this Li Qing's identity ......"

……

After a moment, Chen Huang stood up and said in disbelief: "It's him?" ”

Ling Yun bowed and said: "Although the minister is also a little unbelievable, but these days, the minister has finally found some clues, and all kinds of evidence indicate that Li Qing is him." ”

"Tang family, Tang Zhao ......, no wonder!" Emperor Chen muttered, with a sudden look on his face, and said with a smile: "The affairs of the Tang family are a bit interesting. ”

"That's the end of it." He looked at Ling Yun and said, "You go to the Ping'an County Ya, bring the last three volumes back to me, and send them to Concubine Shu." ”

Then Emperor Chen turned his head again and instructed: "Wei Jian, announce that the two prime ministers have entered the palace, and I have important matters to discuss with them." ”

……

Tang Ning has been out for the past few days, and what he has heard the most is the speculation about the ban on "The Legend of the West Chamber".

The people of Jingshi have almost reached a consensus on this, and none of the people on the market who are larger than the "Legend of the West Chamber" have been banned, but the West Chamber has been banned, which obviously cannot be due to some "bad morals".

The reason why "West Chamber" became a banned book is only because it alludes to the Tang family, just because it expresses its dissatisfaction with these gentlemen in Jingshi, and it just makes a small voice for the people, and it ends up like this.

For a time, the Tang family was scolded among the people.

Also surnamed Tang, Tang Ning and Tang Xiaoyao expressed strong disdain for the Tang family's shameless behavior.

Tang Ning was disdainful in his heart a few more times, and saw Ling Yun walk in from outside.

Ling Yun is a celebrity beside Emperor Chen, and his appearance must be related to Emperor Chen.

Ling Yun walked to his side, without half a word of nonsense, and said straight to the point: "Your Majesty asked me to find Li Qing and bring the last three volumes of "The Legend of the West Chamber" back to the palace. ”

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "What you are looking for is Li Qing, what are you doing here with me, what does this have to do with me?" ”
