Ling Yun looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Tang Jieyuan, let's hurry up and take out the last three volumes of "The Legend of the West Chamber", don't let Your Majesty wait." ”

In fact, as soon as Ling Yun spoke, Tang Ning knew that they had found out.

Sure enough, he still can't underestimate the power of the state apparatus, he is so careful that he can still be approached by someone to urge him to change.

The only manuscript in his hand was given to Li Tianlan, Tang Ning spread his hands and said, "I don't have the last three volumes in my hand now, do you want to come and pick them up tomorrow?" ”

Ling Yun didn't answer, just looked at him.

His eyes looked very uncomfortable, and Tang Ning stood up and said, "If you don't mind, just wait here for me to finish writing." ”

I can't imagine that Emperor Chen looks majestic, and he likes this tone in private, but looking at the attitude of this Ling Da Commander, the emperor doesn't seem to intend to treat him for the crime of "bad morals", but I don't know if he will lift the ban on "The Legend of the West Chamber", although Li Qing is just a trumpet, but the trumpet also has dignity, and he doesn't want to be called a "dead eunuch" in later generations.

He walked to the study, and Ling Yun also walked in and sat down at the table in the room.

Tang Ning thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "What else did Your Majesty say?" ”

Ling Yun looked away and said lightly, "No." ”

Although he had only met a few times, Tang Ning probably already knew that this Ling Commander was also of the same temperament as Peng Chen, so he didn't ask any more, picked up his pen and began to write the last three volumes of "West Chamber".

After handing over the last three volumes to him and sending Ling Yun away, Tang Ning rubbed his sour wrist and walked into the courtyard.

It can be seen from "The Legend of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion" that the readers of Jingshi still like this tone, and copying books is also an effective way to make money.

However, if you copy it in the future, you still have to copy some gentle ways, although the banned books are easy to sell, but for the sake of safety and reputation, don't try crazy on the edge of harmony.

He moved his hands and feet, and when he was about to practice for a while, in the palace, two old men slowly walked out of the imperial study.

As the two pillars of the court, the two prime ministers often discussed state affairs with the Son of Heaven in the imperial study, and this time they stayed in the imperial study for more than an hour.

Prime Minister Wang turned his head to look at the people around him, and said: "Chen and Chu have formed an alliance, those alien races on the grassland will definitely be difficult to resist, if you can get rid of this threat, you can keep the north stable for at least ten years, Your Majesty seems to have been shaken." ”

The old man shook his head and said: "Without the threat of the Su Shen people, although the northern part of the Chen State is stable, the Chu State is even more stable, with the rise of the Chu State in recent years, it will soon become a big problem for the Chen State, between the two countries of Chen and Chu, but there is no obstacle, the Chu people are more difficult than the Su Shen people." ”

Prime Minister Wang Cheng sighed and said: "Although the Chu State is also a hidden danger, after all, it has been friends with us for many years, and those barbarians, except for looting, will not reason with us. ”

"Prime Minister Wang is too worried." The old man smiled and said: "How can the State of Chu be easy to bully, although those barbarians on the grassland are brave, they have always been scattered, and it is simply impossible to take down the State of Chu, so let those barbarians and the State of Chu consume, this is the most beneficial choice for us, Your Majesty will not fail to understand this."

"Let's not talk about it." Prime Minister Wang Cheng waved his sleeves and said: "There are not many days left for the provincial examination, and His Majesty has not decided to take the main examination for a long time, which seems to be a little unusual...... so what is extraordinary about "The Legend of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion", it was specially mentioned by His Majesty and removed it from the banned book, ...... old man is really old, and over the years, he has become more and more unable to guess His Majesty's thoughts. ”

The old man beside him smiled and said, "Your Majesty's thoughts, it's better not to guess, but this "The Legend of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion", if you have time, you should take a look at ......."

……

The ban on "The Legend of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion" made many people in Beijing accumulate countless grievances against the court and the Tang family.

But after only a few days of banning, people were surprised to find that these two books were taken out and sold in a grand manner in major bookstores.

At first, everyone thought that the owner of the bookstore had eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall at the same time, and dared to fight against the imperial court, but after careful inquiry, they learned that these two books had been removed from the banned books, and at the same time, there were several controversial books that had been banned before.

According to the grapevine, even the concubines in the palace are watching "West Chamber", the West Chambers are banned, they can't see the ending, and their hearts are itching, so they blow the pillow wind to the son of today, after the Son of Heaven found out the truth, he knew that these two books were deliberately banned by people with intentions, and even if he ordered it, the ban was lifted, and with the blessing of "West Chamber", several books that were banned before were also released.

This was obviously a slap in the face of the Tang family, and the people didn't know what the Tang family's mood was, so they poured into the bookstore to buy it.

I used to just hear the name of "West Chamber", but I have never read it, after being banned, I became very interested in this book, the imperial court banned books and sealed books so casually, God knows when the officials will regret it, don't buy it at this time, but when?

Tang family, Tang Qi, who had just learned the news, was still a little incredulous, and asked, "Your Majesty personally ordered the lifting of the ban?" ”

He couldn't figure out how many national affairs a country would take the initiative to lift the ban on a banned book every day.

"It is said that several concubines in the palace are also reading this "West Chamber", and the lady concubine Niangniang mentioned a few words to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty lifted the ban on this book." A subordinate informed him of the news he had inquired about from outside.

Tang Qi pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and said, "You go down first." ”

After the subordinate retreated, Tang Qi turned his head to look at his brother and asked: "Your Majesty first cut the Ping'an County Order, this imperial examination, and weakened the power of the Ministry of Rites, and now the ban on this "West Chamber" has been lifted, Your Majesty's dissatisfaction with my Tang family has really reached such a situation?" ”

"I didn't expect that His Majesty would personally make an order." Tang Huai looked out the window and muttered, "Is it a wrong step, a wrong step, a wrong step......

Tang Qi was depressed in his heart, and poured a sip of cold tea, but still did not dissipate.

Li Qing, the author of "West Chamber", pushed the Tang family into the fire pit at the beginning, and although they banned the book through the influence of the Tang family, the scolding of the Tang family in Beijing was even higher.

If this matter ends here, it will be enough, there is no shortage of new things in Jingshi, and the people will soon forget "West Chamber" and be attracted by new things.

Who would have thought that His Majesty suddenly lifted the ban on this book, which undoubtedly pushed the Tang family to the front of the people again.

slapped one slap after another on the Tang family's face, making them completely a joke of Jingshi, Tang Qi smashed his fist on the table, squeezing out two words from between his teeth: "Li Qing ......"

……

Tang Ning walked on the street and saw that the major bookstores had clearly put "The Legend of the West Chamber" out for sale, and Chen Huang was still very particular about it, and after reading his own book, he lifted the ban on both copies the next day.

Zhong Yi stayed by his side and asked in a low voice, "What does Xianggong plan to print the last three volumes?" ”

"What are you doing with the last three volumes?" Tang Ning shook his head, the Tang family might just stare at Songzhuzhai and wait for him to appear, anyway, the money to buy the house is enough, and if you print three more volumes, you won't make much money, it's meaningless.

Somewhere, at the door of a bookstore, several young people gathered to talk.

"The ban on "West Chamber" has been lifted, when will these last three volumes be printed?"

"I don't know, until now, the "Li Qing" has not appeared! ”

"You say, "West Chamber" won't end like this, right?"

"How is it possible, if Li Qing doesn't finish writing "West Chamber", I will curse him to give birth to a son without a little **!"

"Dig a hole and don't fill it, do such a bad thing, and still want to marry a wife?"

"That is, this kind of person will definitely be punished, if he doesn't take out the last three volumes, I will curse him for not getting up every morning!"

……

Tang Ning paused, turned his head to look at Zhong Yi, and said: "I thought about it, I still think that it should be published, after all, there are so many readers waiting, I can't be sorry for them......"
