The new country began a cult of personality craze, and everyone followed Lu Bing's example. It is not wrong to respect the emperor, but such spontaneous worship is rare from ancient times to the present. Most of these things were a bit compulsive, but now everyone is spontaneous, and all they talk about is Lu Bing, anecdotes about the rivers and lakes, Jin Ge Iron Horse, and Fenghua Xueyue, although after the founding of the new country, newspapers and periodicals and other things have been restored to printing, and speech has been free, but it can no longer resist the charm of word of mouth. Lu Bing has become a must-talk topic after dinner, and after interpretation, all the stories have even become amazing. The tea hanging in the restaurant, the storyteller and the singer also adapted Lu Bing's story, called "New Country Record", "Da Jin Yi" or "Thirteen Knives of Death" and so on.

In addition, a group of people who have reached a frenzy have emerged, and they respect Lu Bing as a god, regardless of whether what Lu Bing said is right or wrong, as long as Lu Bing likes to do something, they are willing to imitate it. And spontaneously compiled a book of "Quotations of the New Emperor", which he had to recite before eating and sleeping, and even when he encountered it on the street, he had to say two sentences like a slogan. So whether it is Emperor Lu Bing's die-hard loyalty, you can see it at a glance in Xinguo, as long as they are full of emperor quotations. In addition, like "Wenfu Poetry Collection" and the like, there are poems made by Lu Bing who don't know where they came from, some have been retouched, and some are impostors, which are nothing more than poems made in Lu Bing's style, and then named the emperor.

However, few people care, Xinguo is a place of free speech, and Jinyiwei censors these books. As long as there are no misleading remarks to the people, they will basically be left alone. Lu Bing doesn't care about someone's impersonation, which is not a good thing. But it's definitely not a bad thing.

In addition to books related to Lu Bing, with the recovery of major bookstores and state-owned or private printing industries, all kinds of biographies, poetry collections or some old literary works have also poured into people's homes. These reading materials enrich the entertainment life of the people, and Lu Bing has set up many state-owned schools to teach the people to read and write for free, and teach the elders and children separately. This has enabled more people to read and understand books, and people's wisdom has also been greatly improved. And a book came into the eyes of the people, and the book did not have a very long name. Just three words "Journey to the West", this is Lu Bing's name and changed the original Jian yì "Journey to the West".

The book is beautiful and suitable for all ages. People of different ages read different stories from books. And this book has also become many editions in the mouth of the storyteller. There is also a monkey show on the stage for this purpose. However, many people have also found that the state's propaganda for this book, such as the serialization in the people's newspapers, and the fact that the major bookstores are state-owned or private, put them on the shelves together, etc., it is not difficult to see the state's good intentions. And the author Wu Chengen, this name is unknown, and later the excavation of good deeds learned that this person has an old relationship with the Shen family. The elder sister was the wife of a magistrate. But why is there so much energy?

Someone dug deep in the market and found that Wu Chengen is now serving in the DPRK. Although he was only a small official from the fourth grade, it is said that the emperor appreciated it very much. In other words, the reason why this book is so popular is because the new emperor Lu Bing likes it. Now this book is even more rising, and it is popular all over the country for a while, everyone knows Journey to the West, and everyone knows Wu Chengen. Of course, Lu Bing still used some public opinion-oriented means.

Cultural exchanges were unstoppable, and soon the book was placed in front of Zhu Houxi in the land of Bashu. Zhu Houxi read it and found the irony of himself, and called Chen Hong angrily. After Chen Hong came, Zhu Houxi asked: "Chen Hong, who is this Wu Chengen, and is the book Journey to the West deliberately written by Lu Bing in the name of Wu Chengen." Such a story is both a monkey and a pig, and Lu Bing, a demonic guy, can think of it. ”

According to the minister's investigation, as early as many years ago, Lu Bing seemed to have a relationship with Wu Chengen. And Wu Chengen had told this story among the people in the early years, but at that time it was just a synopsis of the story, and it was not so detailed and pointed. Besides, the minister thought that with Lu Bing's character, he would not publish a book in the name of someone else. "Chen Hongdao, it's really hard for his intelligence ability, he has already discovered the strangeness of this book, and turned over the things about Chen Sesame Rotten Grain many years ago, and the 'homework' is meticulous.

Zhu Houxi heard Chen Hong's evaluation of Lu Bing, and said happily: "Chen Aiqing is right, Lu Bing is a great achievement, hum, this book is profound, his heart should be punished, according to my thoughts, this book will be banned." Yes, ban this book! ”

"Shengshang, it's just this time" Chen Hongdao, Zhu Houxi was still from the escape, and said at this time: "What are you doing looking ahead and looking back, banning books will ban books, is it possible to let everyone read this book to arrange me?" Wouldn't Lu Bing's idea be realized? ”

Chen Hong saw that the emperor was resolute, so he could only take the order to retreat. Since then, "Journey to the West" has become a banned book in the Bashu Ming Dynasty. In fact, Chen Hong didn't want to say this, but because of Zhu Houxi's imperial order, he had to do so. But in fact, it backfired, and instead of banning this book, it became even more popular in Bashu.

According to the order issued by Zhu Houxi, the person who collects this book will be killed, and as soon as this decree is issued, people will know the existence of this book. After everyone is in danger, curiosity arises. People who haven't read the book also want to know what exactly happened in the book that would make the emperor ban. In fact, most people still can't read, and Bashu is not the same as Xinguo at this time, promoting literacy classes, and most people don't know how to read, let alone understand the meaning. But the emperor's ban made the people very strange, so they asked about the content of the book by word of mouth, but the story spread and became known to everyone, and there was no need for Lu Bing to publicize it.

After listening to the story, everyone is curious, this is just a story of gods and demons fighting, subduing demons and catching monsters, why is it banned? So some people went deeper, and then they were surprised to find the irony of Da Ming inside. After all, there are a lot of smart people, and these smart people are also employed with good deeds and real people with lofty ideals. Inevitably, everyone who spreads this meaning is well known. In this way, the effect of the book can be said to be vividly exerted, and everyone shows an incomparable delay in this kind of repressive regime, and Lu Bing's new country is so enlightened. This time the crowd was excited. To everyone's surprise, there were a number of small uprisings that were suppressed and quelled, stemming from the desire for freedom and dissatisfaction with the tyranny of the emperor.

If Chen Hong hadn't stopped him, it is estimated that Zhu Houxi would have gone crazy to the point of burning books. However, even if he did not do such an absurd act, Zhu Houxi still chose to close himself off from the country and prohibit trade with the outside world. Cultural exchanges were prohibited in order to prevent the invasion of culture and ideas from the new country. And began negotiations with the originally hostile Uszang, preparing to form an alliance. Fight the new country together.

There are no eternal allies, only eternal interests.

"What's the matter, buddy, so depressed." Lu Bing raised his eyes and said while reading the official document, and Ji Lianhong in front of him sat slumped in the chair. His face was a little dark. Looks listless.

"Hey." Ji Lianhong sighed and shook his head, and deliberately said in a long tone: "It's hard to say." ”

"I'll make up, why do you still have to sing the rhythm." Lu Bingdao, Meng Xueqing smiled on the side, and even Feng Bao, who was waiting for the two of them to hand over water and ink, laughed. Meng Xueqing patted Lu Bing's arm and said, "Go over and take a look, I'll just get it." ”

Lu Bing looked at it, there was nothing important, so he stood up and stretched. Coming down from the dragon steps, he came to Ji Lianhong's side and said, "I don't know if you buddy, I am now the king of a country, and I have all the opportunities?" Tell me, what's the big deal. I'll see if I can help you? ”

"Are you a good-looking person?" Ji Lianhong asked: "Or reality or face, which one do you value more?" ”

Lu Bing didn't understand what Ji Lianhong meant, rolled his eyes and said: "Everyone loves face, face can be called vanity, but it can also be called self-esteem." If you give up your face, you can get very huge benefits, and your face is not worth mentioning, it is nothing more than psychological trouble. I said, "You're in the morning, you're playing philosophical inquiry with me."

Before Lu Bing finished speaking, Ji Lianhong suddenly made a move and punched towards Lu Bing's face. Lu Bing was not much different from Ji Lianhong's martial arts, although he has been exercising all these years, and he has not lost his qi because of physical reasons, but it is not as good as Ji Lianhong's progress in going out this circle. If Duan Qingfeng sat here with Lu Bing, it was estimated that he would still be able to react, not only because Duan Qingfeng's martial arts were slightly higher than Lu Bing's now, but also because Duan Qingfeng was basically on guard at all times. And Lu Bing was relaxed, and he was surprised, and the reaction was that it was too late to hide, so he could only rely on his subconscious qi to defend and reach out to block.

At this time, outside the gate of Fengtian Palace, a team of patrolling guards was taking over and preparing to go back, and one person said, "Who is that Daoist who went in just now?" ”

"Ji Lianhong, what's the matter? Don't you know? Oh, forget about jì, you're the air cavalry who came in late. The other replied.

"It turns out that he is Ji Lianhong, what are you doing? Why is there a place for him in the square? I haven't heard of any great feats to this man. ”

"The descendants of the Nanwu faction are said to be higher in martial arts than the saints, almost reaching the Cheng dù of the heavenly beings. What do you think about this kind of person if he doesn't hurry up, haven't you heard that when Zhu Houxi was the emperor, the Shaolin Wendou monk and a mysterious person rushed into the capital to kill the Quartet? Although the unbearable and lax guards are one aspect, they may be killed all the way from Henan to the capital, but this strength is also amazing. This person has a good relationship with the lord and is a close minister, and the other aspect is estimated to have such a meaning, this is a big killer, but taking the head of the general in the army is like probing the bag. It is also a double-edged sword, and if you don't keep it well and use it for others, you will hurt yourself. ”

", is there anyone who is higher than the saint's martial arts?"

"You still don't believe it!"

Xiaoqi suddenly turned his head and reprimanded: "How dare you talk to each other here!" ”

"Haven't we all taken over the shift? Now we're going back to rest. Besides, the saint's martial arts are world-famous, and Ji Ye is also a good man in the world, not to mention an assassin in broad daylight, even if there are thousands of troops, he may not be able to help the two of them. ”

Xiaoqi was speechless for a while, and said: "That's not okay, just in case"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud noise in the Fengtian Temple, and then saw that the door broke open, and a person flew out of it. The wind was blowing under the man's feet, his body rolled, and he jumped more than two feet under his feet, and then he put on a posture, with a little blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. Then the man shouted, "You're sick!" The guards looked at each other, who was this person who was not the current saint Lu Bing?

Looking at the Fengtian Hall again, Ji Lianhong flew out like an arrow from the string, and there was no blade in his hand, but the roar of his fist was the movement of the collision between the true qi and the air, and he shouted in his mouth: "Where to run!" ”

Everyone didn't know why, thinking that it was the saint and his good brother Ji Lianhong who was just practicing, and everyone laughed bitterly, after all, he was born in martial arts, and although he was the son of heaven, he still loved to dance and play with guns and sticks.

At this moment, I saw the queen Meng Xueqing with a puzzled face on the broken gate of the Fengtian Palace, and Feng Bao, the chief manager of the palace with a nervous face, Feng Bao screamed in the eunuch's unique male duck voice: "Escort and escort!" ”

Only then did everyone react, the two were not competing, but stabbing at the driver! (To be continued......)
