Sure enough, just the afternoon of the next day, the emperor summoned Lu Haixian again.

This time, Lu Haixian came to the imperial study again and seemed much more calm than last time, but this was only on the surface, and in his heart, he was thinking about what Yu Ziye said to him yesterday.

When his father-in-law arrived outside the door of the imperial study, Lu Haixian planned to wait outside for a while, but when he saw his father-in-law, he smiled directly.

"Lord Lu, Your Majesty said that you can just go in directly, please!"

"Good!"

Lu Haixian suppressed the apprehension in his heart, tidied up his clothes and entered the imperial study, this time the emperor raised his head when he heard the footsteps, and when he saw Lu Haixian coming in, he also had a smile on his face.

"Lu Aiqing is here?"

Lu Haixian showed a look of panic and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Let Your Majesty wait for a long time, the old minister deserves death!"

"Hey, you only have one life, and if you want to die, you will only die once, hahahahaha"

The emperor's words of laughter made Lu Haixian's heart jump suddenly, coupled with Yu Ziye's words yesterday, Lu Haixian has not been sensitive to the sense of smell of officials over the years.

"Your Majesty is right, Your Majesty is right!"

Seeing Lu Haixian's sincere and frightened appearance, the emperor smiled, walked out of the bookcase, and went to the old minister.

"Lu Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, your "Chronicles of the Four Seas, Mountains and Rivers" is really a strange book, I can't put it down during this time!"

"Thank you Your Majesty for your love, the old minister is afraid"

The emperor walked to the couch to the side, turned around and beckoned to Lu Haixian.

"Lu Aiqing, come on, tell me how you can have this wonderful idea and integrate the geography of mountains and rivers into such a mysterious perspective? Do all the stories in this book have origins? ”

If it weren't for Yu Ziye's deep chat with Lu Haixian yesterday, Lu Haixian might still be very excited, but he has been careful at this moment.

When he was sitting on the soft couch, Lu Haixian thought about it before he said.

"The old minister is only shallow in learning, that is, he can only show off some writing, and many of the stories in the book are folk monsters, and there are some, but the old minister dreams about things on weekdays, and when he wakes up, he writes it down while he has not forgotten it."

"Oh, it seems that Lu Aiqing also likes to dream, by the way, is there really someone in the book?"

Lu Haixian looked at the emperor and thought for a while.

"There is actually more than one Lao Suo in the book."

"Oh? Why? ”

The emperor was a little interested, and Lu Haixian smiled.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that Lao Su in the book is not only an old minister, but also some of Lao Chen's friends, and we are occasionally obsessed with strange and strange things, although these are not utopian, but they also provide some inspiration for Lao Chen to write this book."

But thinking of the possible crime of bullying the king, Lu Haixian also added a sentence.

"Of course, Lao Su also has the original form in the book, he is a friend of Lao Chen when he was an official in Mingzhou, and that year was also his ninetieth birthday, but it was not as peculiar as in the book, he drank a few more glasses that year."

Lu Haixian didn't dare to look at the emperor when he spoke, but at the moment he felt too quiet and glanced to the side, and saw that the emperor was looking at him and listening carefully, so he hurriedly collected his heart and continued.

"Your Majesty also knows that people should not be greedy for cups, those glasses of wine are bad, so old, drinking hurts the body, and since then he has been sick, and he has not gone out for a long time."

"Uhhh At that time, there were false rumors in the city of Mingzhou, saying that Lao Suo's family was not mourning and unfilial, and there were also people who said that Lao Suo was drunk and could not wake up."

The Emperor couldn't help but nod when he heard this.

"What in the end?"

Lu Haixian's back is a little hot, he is really bullying the king.

"The ninety-year-old man is weak, and in the end, about a year, the minister's old friend can be regarded as finally recovering, and the message is self-defeating!"

The Emperor looked thoughtful for a long time before nodding again.

"So Lu Aiqing used this as an angle to cut into the association?"

"Your Majesty is very true!"

The emperor looked at the book in his hand and asked again.

"Then the beauty and mystery of this geographical mountain and river, Aiqing has checked it from the book?"

"Some are, some are not, and some are also dictated by business travelers from all walks of life, as well as some people in the rivers and lakes, and the ministers strive to be true, but they dare not guarantee that everything is complete, so there are many things mentioned in the book."

The emperor was obviously a little dissatisfied with Lu Haixian's words, and at this moment, his brows were tightly locked and he didn't say a word, which made Lu Haixian's heart more and more worried.

"How much is a dream?"

"Well, it's more than five points in the mysterious place, and it's only visible in dreams."

"Lu Aiqing."

"The minister is here!"

The emperor looked at the book in his hand, and then looked up at Lu Haixian, who was obviously a little nervous beside him.

Is it possible that what Lao Suo saw in his dream in the book is true? The immortals in the sky, the dragons in the sea, and the gods and spirits in the mountains and rivers really went to the Beihai Dragon Transformation Ceremony? ”

In fact, Lu Haixian also had this suspicion before, but there was nothing else to corroborate except for Old Man Mo and Yi Abao for a long dream, if there was, perhaps the biggest possibility was the old heavenly master who appeared at the birthday banquet back then.

But at this moment, Lu Haixian would never say much about it, his thoughts flashed rapidly, looking back on what he thought back then and what he was thinking at the moment, and finally spoke with a smile.

"Your Majesty said that it was funny, in fact, the old minister also had similar thoughts, but it was also easy to verify"

"Oh?"

"Your Majesty, think about it, how magnificent the flood in the book is, passing through the four seas and the four realms, and even passing near my Dayong, but since Shao Yuan, I have been facing the country and the country and the people of the country, and there has been no flood."

The emperor had already read the second volume, and when he saw the first half of the third volume, he had already reached the eastern boundary.

At this time, hearing Lu Haixian's words, the emperor's face showed a little trance, and he let out a sigh for a long time.

"Yes, as Aiqing said, there is no flood, let alone such a great flood in the book. It's me who lost my word. It's me who lost my words."

The Emperor muttered, then laughed.

Lu Haixian also laughed lightly with him.

"This means that the emperor has read the book in a short period of time, so that he can read it as if he was there, and he will have such feelings, and the old minister admires it."

"Hahahahaha. You, you! ”

The Emperor burst out laughing.

"Being able to write this "Chronicles of the Four Seas, Mountains and Rivers" shows that Aiqing is very knowledgeable, and there are some talents in the Ministry of Rites."

Lu Haixian was taken aback, he didn't think about anything about official fortune now.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is old, although he has the heart to serve the society, but he has more than enough heart and no strength."

Speaking of which, the matter of resignation is still not allowed, and the monarch and the ministers then discussed the affairs of the book, and it was not until it was nearly dusk that Lu Haixian left the imperial study.

When he was far away from the imperial study, Lu Haixian breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if it is, the underwear on Lu Haixian's body is trendy, and he only feels that the words of accompanying the king like a tiger are really reasonable.

In fact, strictly speaking, today's emperor can be regarded as pleasant, but he feels very nervous about this.

In retrospect, Lord Yu has a saying that is very right, if the emperor thinks it is empty, it is fine, if not, Lu Haixian, who presented "The Chronicles of the Four Seas, Mountains and Rivers", will be in trouble, and maybe some heavy burdens will be pressed down.

Don't talk about promotion at that time, I'm afraid it will be a late season!

When Lu Haixian's heart was palpitating, at least one thing quickly made him happy.

"Chronicles of the Four Seas, Mountains and Rivers" is even liked by the emperor, so it is naturally not a problem to print it.

Lu Haixian, who is also a five-grade official in the Ministry of Rites, may not be anything in the court, but he is a real official in a place under the Ministry of Rites such as Guozijian.

Guozijian was responsible for the publication of the "Chronicles of the Mountains and Rivers of the Four Seas", of course, it was meticulous and efficient, and it was also very fast to complete the publication by the method of movable block printing.

In just one decade, the first printed "Chronicles of the Four Seas, Mountains and Rivers" has been bound, and after Lu Haixian personally approved it, the number of prints was increased.

Of course, the so-called increase in quantity means that 300 copies were printed, totaling 1,800 copies.

Even so, it is already a large number, and it is not just printed, it still needs to be carefully corrected many times, and the binding of the seal is meticulous.

The preciousness of books is evident.

And only a part of it is sold in the official bookstore in Beijing, so it may not be easy to buy it.

After all, this is the publication of the Guozi Prison, maybe the next imperial examination will have something to do with it.

In this case, Lu Haixian's name is still a small firepower in the officialdom of the capital, after all, the emperor's love for "Chronicles of the Four Seas, Mountains and Rivers" will soon be no secret in the officialdom.

Unconsciously, this matter is not a secret on the side of some Confucian high-ranking disciples in the capital.

It's just that at this time, "Chronicles of the Four Seas, Mountains and Rivers" is already a difficult book to find, and it is not easy to borrow books to transcribe.

In late autumn, in the garden of a mansion in the upper reaches of the Kaiyang River, someone is enjoying the cool on the reclining chair in the pavilion.

A servant walked quickly to the pavilion with two books in his hand.

"Master, I bought it, this is "Chronicles of the Four Seas, Mountains and Rivers"!"

The old man on the recliner had white hair but a rosy complexion, and even a little young, and sat up and looked at the passer.

"Both?"

"This is a copy of the country's supervision, this is a copy."

The old man nodded, and after the old servant had opened the pages of the first two books, he pointed to the prints, and the servant left the prints and took the copies away for the time being.

The old man in this pavilion is Tan Yuanshang, who has been "complimented" as a "monster" by Gray Mian many times.

Like many people, even Tan Yuanshang was quickly drawn to the contents of the book, and it was difficult to take his eyes off the first volume after flipping through it.

By the time he read "The Tide Rises and Clouds Accompany You", it was already the evening of the second day, and Tan Yuansheng's reading place had already arrived in the study, he suspended reading, left the desk with the book in his hand, walked outside the door and looked at the sky, the clouds at this moment were somewhat like the tide.

"What a "Chronicles of the Four Seas, Mountains and Rivers"."

Tan Yuanshang has walked too many places and experienced too many things, and he is even far clearer than Yu Ziye's confirmation of the things in the book.

Whether it is a mysterious thing or a foreign mountain and river, Tan Yuansheng's experience is comparable to few people in the world, and when he read this book, he actually had a feeling in his heart.

What is said in the book is as true as it is true!
