Chapter 178 "The West Chamber" Lifts the Ban

Ling Yun looked at him expressionlessly and said: "Tang Jieyuan, it's better to take out the last three volumes of "The Romance of the West Chamber" as soon as possible. Don't keep your Majesty waiting."

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

Sure enough, the power of the state machine should not be underestimated. If he was careful, someone would still come to him to urge him to update.

The only manuscript in his hand was given to Li Tianlan. Tangning spread her hands and said, "I don't have the last three volumes in hand right now. Why don't you come and pick them up tomorrow?"

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

The look in his eyes made people feel uncomfortable. Tangning stood up and said, "If you don't mind, just wait here until I finish writing."

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chen looks very majestic, and he likes this tone in private. However, judging from the attitude of this Ling Commander, the emperor does not seem to intend to punish him for "immorality", but I don't know if he will write "The West Chamber" "Li Qing was just a trumpet, but a trumpet also had dignity. He didn't want to be called a "dead eunuch" in future generations.

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

Tangning thought for a while and asked tentatively, "What else did your Majesty say?"

Ling Yun looked away and said calmly: "No."

Although they had only met a few times, Tang Ning probably already knew that Commander Ling had the same temperament as Peng Chen, so she stopped asking further questions and started writing the last three volumes of "The West Chamber".

After handing him the last three volumes and sending Ling Yun away, Tang Ning rubbed her sore wrists and walked to the yard.

It can be seen from "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion" that readers in the capital quite like this kind of tone, and copying books is also an effective way to make money.

However, if you copy again in the future, you should still copy some moderate methods. Although banned books are easy to sell, for the sake of safety and reputation, it is better not to test wildly on the edge of harmony.

He moved his hands and feet and planned to practice some more, when two old men slowly walked out of the imperial study room in the palace.

As the two pillars of the imperial court, the two prime ministers often discussed national affairs with the emperor in the imperial study. This time they stayed in the imperial study for more than an hour.

Prime Minister Wang turned to look at the people around him and said: "With the alliance between Chen and Chu, the foreign races on the grassland will definitely be difficult to resist. If this threat can be eliminated, the stability of the north can be guaranteed for at least ten years. Your Majesty seems to have wavered. ”

The old man shook his head and said: "Without the threat of the Sushen people, although the north of the Chen State is stable, the Chu State will be even more stable. With the rise of the Chu State in recent years, it will soon become Chen State's confidant Big trouble, there is no obstacle between Chen and Chu, the Chu people are more difficult to deal with than the Sushen people."

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

"Prime Minister Wang is worrying too much." The old man smiled and said: "Chu is not easy to bully. Although the barbarians on the grassland are brave, they have always been a mess. It is simply impossible to win Chu. Let the barbarians and the Chu State deal with the matter. This is the most beneficial choice for us. Your Majesty will not fail to understand this.

"Let's not talk about this matter." Prime Minister Wang waved his sleeves and said: "There are not many days left for the provincial examination. It seems a little unusual that Your Majesty has not decided to take the exam... What about "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion"? What is so extraordinary that His Majesty specifically mentioned it and removed it from the forbidden book... I am really getting old, and over the years, I have become increasingly unable to guess His Majesty's thoughts."

The old man beside him chuckled and said, "It's better not to guess what your Majesty is thinking. However, if you have time, you should read "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion"..."

……

The banning of "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion" caused many people in the capital to accumulate countless grievances against the imperial court and the Tang family.

But after only a few days of banning, people were surprised to find that these two books were openly sold in major bookstores.

At first, everyone thought that the owner of the bookstore had dared to confront the imperial court because he had dared to confront the imperial court. After careful questioning, they learned that these two books had been removed from the banned books. Also removed at the same time were the previously banned books. of several controversial books.

According to gossip, even the concubines in the palace were watching "The West Chamber". The West Chamber was banned and they couldn't see the ending. They were itching and couldn't bear it, so they told the emperor of the day. After the emperor found out the truth, Knowing that these two books had been deliberately banned by someone with ulterior motives, I immediately issued an order to unban them. Thanks to "The West Chamber", several previously banned books were also released.

This was obviously a slap in the face of the Tang family. The common people, not knowing how the Tang family felt, rushed into bookstores to buy.

I had only heard of the title of "The West Chamber" before, but had never read it. After it was banned, I became very interested in this book. The imperial court banned books and sealed them so casually. God knows when the officials will regret it. If you don’t buy it now, when will you wait?

In the Tang family, Tang Qi, who had just learned the news, was still in disbelief and asked, "His Majesty personally ordered the lifting of the ban?"

He simply couldn't understand that the emperor of a country, who had to deal with so many national affairs every day, would actually take the initiative to issue an order to unban a banned book?

"It is said that several concubines in the palace are also reading "The West Chamber". Concubine Shu mentioned a few words to His Majesty, and His Majesty lifted the ban on this book." A servant informed Yu from the news he had learned from outside. he.

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

After the servants retreated, Tang Qi turned to look at his brother and asked: "Your Majesty first reduced the magistrate of Ping'an County, this imperial examination also weakened the power of the Ministry of Rites, and now he has lifted the ban on the "West Chamber". Has His Majesty’s dissatisfaction with my Tang family really reached this level?”

"I didn't expect that His Majesty would actually issue the order in person." Tang Huai looked out the window and murmured: "After all, I made a wrong step, a wrong step, a wrong step..."

Tang Qi felt depressed and took a sip of cold tea, but still didn't feel relieved.

Li Qing, the author of "The West Chamber", pushed the Tang family into a pit of fire from the beginning. Although they later banned the book through the influence of the Tang family, the curse on the Tang family in Beijing became even higher.

If this matter ends here, that's it. There is never a shortage of new things in the capital, and the people will soon forget "The West Chamber" and be attracted by new things.

Who would have thought that His Majesty would suddenly lift the ban on this book, which would undoubtedly bring the Tang family to the forefront again.

One slap after another hit the Tang family's face, making them a joke in the capital. Tang Qi punched the table and squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Li Qing..."

……

Tang Ning was walking on the street and saw "The Romance of the West Chamber" being put up for sale in major bookstores. She thought that Chen Huang was quite particular. After reading his own books, he released both of them the next day.

Zhong Yi accompanied him and asked in a low voice: "What do you plan to do to print the last three volumes?"

"Why are you printing the last three volumes?" Tang Ning shook her head. The Tang family might just be watching Songzhuzhai waiting for him to show up. Anyway, they already had enough money to buy the house. Printing three more volumes won't make much money. significance.

At the entrance of a bookstore somewhere, several young people gathered together to talk.

"The ban on "The West Chamber" has been lifted. When will the last three volumes be printed?"

"I don't know. Until now, "Li Qing" hasn't appeared yet!"

"You said, "The West Wing" won't end like this, right?"

"How is it possible? If Li Qing doesn't finish writing "The West Chamber", I will curse him to have a son without a baby!"

"You dig a hole but don't fill it. You do such a dishonorable thing and you still want to get a wife?"

"That's right, this kind of person will definitely be punished. If he doesn't take out the last three volumes, I will curse him to not get up every morning!"

……

Tangning paused, turned to look at Zhong Yi, and said, "After thinking about it, I still think it should be published. After all, there are so many readers waiting for me, and I can't let them be sorry..."
