In the early morning, the sun shines through the canopy of trees, and the crisp birdsong is singing loudly.

Dong Ce stood in front of the easel and adjusted the color palette.

"The news, you released it." Cao Luorong found Dong Ce and said with a serious expression.

Dong Ce didn't reply, he shook the pen in front of the canvas, splashing a piece of starry color.

"If you know, why bother."

This answer made Cao Luorong very unhappy, walked over and grabbed Dong Ce's color board and threw it away, and said angrily: "I know that you have been weakening the strength of Yanjiao over the years, just to retire and ignore mundane things, but you don't need to do such a desperate thing, you also know that as long as the Queen Mother lives for a day, no one will dare to touch you!" Even if you don't do anything, what does it matter, do you take this step worthy of the people who have been following you? ”

"You're thinking too much." Dong Ce walked to the edge of the flower garden, took out the color slab that fell inside, and continued to mix colors: "Everyone has the right to choose a way of life, but they are constrained by the so-called morality, save people's lives, you don't want to repay him but sit still, or just when you are a fool, the rest are those who follow me, people who are bound by morality, as long as I exist for a day, they will be dedicated to me, they are weak in strength, but they are not thin behind them, if something happens to me, the impact will be great, but if it is my own choice, I think they will understand, Then go back and live the life you like, life is actually very simple, living, finding some fun, it is enough. ”

"Are you worthy of me, then?" Cao Luorong said coldly.

"You!" Dong Ce looked at Cao Luorong.

"You pulled me in, but you left me alone, are you worthy of me?" Cao Luorong's eyes were a little red.

"Huh." Dong Ce smiled and said: "Don't you think that although you have lived a very tired life over the years, it is very fulfilling, if it still makes you feel empty, it means that this is not what you are pursuing at all, you should continue to find your life trajectory, that is, the road, don't be bound, it will make you live a very tired life." ”

"I'm not you, I can't let go if you can let go." Cao Luorong left angrily after speaking.

As the time got closer and closer to the enthronement ceremony, the whole Manchu dynasty began to get busy, and the public security was greatly strengthened.

Zhuang Liangxiu came to the State Church Mansion, he also worked here, and took over the helm of the operation of the State Church, many things made him very busy, but this was just busy, and it passed after a while, but there was one thing in his hand that made him unable to feel at ease at any time.

"The matter has been arranged, and everything that needs to be done has been done, do you want to go and see it?"

Dong Ce shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to walk in the wind." ”

Zhuang Liangxiu said depressedly: "But this can be hidden for a while, but it may not be able to be hidden for a lifetime, if the Queen Mother knows that I did it, the disciple's head may not be protected!" ”

"Don't worry, the Queen Mother will not touch you!" Dong Ce said with relief.

"Really?" Zhuang Liangxiu was just overjoyed, and suddenly thought of something, his face was even more depressed: "The national teacher still don't deceive the disciple, you said the same thing last time, but I went to Ningzhou, and I was worried all day long, I was afraid that I would be found out, and many people in Ningzhou would be offended. ”

Zhuang Liangxiu doesn't know why, Dong Ce always likes to let him do these things, hiding from the world!

Forget it before, Dong Ce said that as long as it is done, whether he is an official or continues to work for Yanjiao, he can sit in a high position above 10,000 people under one person, although it seems that the Queen Mother does not know, but judging from the Queen Mother's later actions, the Queen Mother must know, and she knows him as a person!

Otherwise, he would not have been able to flourish in the Luoyang National Sect over the years, but this time, the Queen Mother definitely didn't know, even if she knew afterwards, she would be angry, and it would be him Zhuang Liangxiu who was unlucky at that time!

Who told him not to report it?

"Okay, I've made up my mind, in the future, the affairs of the state religion will have to bother you to be more careful, you are very ambitious, but no matter how big it is, it is almost the end, and if you go further, it will be an abyss, and you can do it yourself." After Dong Ce finished speaking, he sent the depressed Zhuang Liangxiu away.

Only then did he change his normal routine and went out of the house, went to the art garden, and watched a play.

"What does the owner think?" Lu Qing sat next to Dong Ce and asked.

"Okay." Dong Ce nodded.

"It seems that the owner is really going to abandon us, Qing'er can see a lot of problems, if it was in the past, the owner would definitely scold." Lu Qing's mind is very sharp, even if she can't receive any news, she can feel that Dong Ce is different.

"The requirements can't be too high, so everyone is tired, now there are three hundred plays in the art garden, and there are only three or four people who can be called famous corners, almost a 1 percent chance, which shows that the art garden is really up, and the people will appreciate it, because of this, you can't put heavy pressure, do you know what the best play is?"

Lu Qing said with a smile: "Of course, from the script, layout, characters, costumes, all aspects can be the ultimate good drama!" ”

"Nope." Dong Ce shook his head and said: "The best drama is to divide the audience into two camps, start a scolding war, love scenes, divided into men and women, war scenes, divided into preferences, different human nature, a drama, it is impossible for everyone to like it, and it will not make everyone hate, most people think it is good, it is not interesting, the praise will disappear quickly, it is difficult for people to remember, only the hated places can be remembered, it is far from enough to evaluate the quality of a play, you have to pick out the bad and the good, and comment separately to stir up public opinion, everyone is naturally curious, What is this drama like, why do some people say good and some say bad, and it is reasonable, whether it is good or bad, so you have to pay for tickets, so if you want to talk about what drama is good, it is naturally the best drama to make money. ”

"The owner's mind is still floating as always, Qing'er has always remembered that in Gusu, a phoenix sought a phoenix, so that the talented and beautiful people in the city were divided into two factions, and they quarreled with each other, but in the capital, there was no such heat, Qing'er has not understood, and now after listening to the owner's words, he knows the relationship, presumably the owner hired people to hype it!"

"Hype is a science, and there are many points that need to be started to create public opinion. However, I really didn't do this at the time, because I didn't need to, and I could completely conquer the audience through my acting skills. Dong Ce said shamelessly.

Lu Qing was amused, she hadn't been so happy for a long time.

"Nan'er and Yuan'er are married." Lu Qing suddenly asked.

"Well, the man is very good and respects them, so that they can continue to act in the art garden, but Yu Nan's husband doesn't need her to appear in a romantic drama, especially the heroine, so they quarreled with the husband and wife, and they came to me for comment."

"This Nizi just doesn't feel easy." Lu Qing said with a smile.

"It's time for you to get married, too." Dong Ce suddenly said to Lu Qingdao.

Lu Qing smiled slightly and said, "Qing'er is a lifelong mistake when she meets the owner, and I am afraid that she will not be able to marry in this life!" ”

"Don't mess around, you are living in the phoenix, let Sima Xiangru be harmed, it has nothing to do with me, besides, finding someone to live a lifetime does not have to be a man! It doesn't have to be human! ”

"Nasty!" Lu Qingqiao's face turned crimson, and she sneered: "You are talking about your second wife!" ”

Liu Su likes animals more than people, which Lu Qing, who has been in Gusu Art Garden, knows very well. But in the end, she added: "The national teacher is a god!" ”

"A man of God is also a man." Dong Ce smiled bitterly, got up and looked back at the empty theater, and sighed: "When the play is over, I should also leave." ”

Lu Qing nodded, and said with a sad expression: "Yes, it's all gone!" Let's go! ”
