The first writer of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 8 Is the Eastern Palace Taboo a real drama?

The storybook "Four Children" says: In the Song Dynasty, there was a handsome man in the capital.

Proud sons rarely have talents, and young men are already generals in the military.There is a woman and four sons, who are as moving as the bright moon. She smiles all over the city, and the world is saddened by it.

The proud son of heaven, with an empty heart.Orphans and four children, like light shining into their hearts.However, the fourth son is the concubine of the proud son-in-law's father-in-law. If you want the fourth son, you have to take it by force!

It's Si'er who warms his heart, and it's the proud son who takes pity on his suffering.Heaven failed to fulfill people's wishes, the mother of the proud son learned of this, and sent someone to arrest the fourth son, and forced the proud son to marry the noble daughter as his wife. The father of the noble daughter was the man who had taken the fourth son's chastity away. He was over fifty years old old man!

Si'er was heartbroken, weeping, and committed suicide in despair, but was saved by others, life would be worse than death.

Kangxi wondered: "Why did the emperor's uncle show me this story of an idiot who resents a man? Well, that proud son is not as good as Wenchu ​​said."

Tao Sai smiled like a cat stealing fish: "Why don't you read on, Your Majesty?"

Kangxi watched boredly, and the plot after that was like a landslide, taking a sharp turn...

The fourth son was sold into a brothel and was in danger of being defiled. The arrogant son became angry and became a beauty. He angered his first wife and cut her into a pig!

The proud son's mother beat the mandarin ducks with a club, and the fourth son hugged the proud son together. The two chanted their hearts to each other, unable to extricate themselves from their grief, and cried miserably, "I can't live without him or her!"

Proud son: "Without you, the world would be dark. My heart and liver are all for you. Without you, I would be alive or like a walking corpse."

Si'er: "The body and mind of the concubine are all for the lord. Now that the reputation is damaged, the only way to show loyalty is to die."

The proud son: "Si'er is my goddess, the light of heaven and earth. I dragged the goddess into the mortal world by despicable means, and she is mine from then on."

Si'er was deeply moved, and said affectionately: "Mr. is the god of my concubine. I would like to exchange my memory with him for one night. Only one night is enough. Even if I can't stay together in the future, even if I die immediately, I will die if I have this memory. And no regrets."

The proud son's mother said angrily: "The slut is your father-in-law's concubine, how can there be such a thing as loyalty, a seductive seductress, a disaster for the family, if I'm in the house, I won't let her in."

In a fit of rage, the proud son argued with his mother, returned home, tortured his first wife, panted and cursed, "You bitch, how dare you hurt my fourth son, if it wasn't for you, my fourth son would have been my wife already."

The first wife stared at the two of them with resentment, the fourth son was terrified of the nightmare, nestled in the arms of the proud son and shivered, the proud son took pity on him, the two of them fought against each other, and turned upside down.

In the dead of night, the four sons made sweet voices, and in the other room, the first wife passed away with hatred.

The proud son was arrested and imprisoned for murder, and the four sons wept bitterly, wanting to take the blame for him.It was snowing all over the world, and the heaven and the earth wept for the two people to separate heaven and man forever. The emperor heard about this and was moved by their love and forgave their crimes.

Kangxi turned here quickly, his expressionless face cracked.

There are not many words in this storybook, and each chapter is cited with a poignant title, from acquaintance, acquaintance, love, to suffering, grief, despair, to breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly, momentary happiness, struggle and revenge, and finally ushered in "" A happy ending."The story is full of ups and downs, climaxes one after another, the roar of the proud son, the pitifulness of the fourth son, the hatefulness of the mother and first wife, the tolerance of the emperor, it is such an eye-popping drama.

Kangxi couldn't explain it in words: "Whoever's family gave birth to such a son who is not as good as a pig and a dog, he would be so angry that he would die of anger. Is the emperor probably mentally ill?"

A year later, Si'er gave birth to a daughter for the proud son, who had no hands and feet and was shaped like a human pig. She opened a pair of red blood eyes and smiled ferociously at Si'er.

Kangxi: "..."

OK, this isn't a love story, it's a horror story.

Kangxi roughly skimmed through the words and sentences, quickly turned to the end, and finally threw it back to Tao Sai as if it was too hot, and said with a dark face: "What a mess of words, why did the emperor show me this thing? I see it You are too idle!"

"I don't know who wrote it. I wrote some disgusting and disgusting words. Could it be intentional?" Kangxi was so disgusted that he could swear a lot of words if he wanted to scold the plot. Drenched, I wish I could throw those words far away, and wash away the tainted eyes and soul with other things.

Kangxi said: "The words in this book are filthy, and the women's words are loose. A literati who reads the words of a sage can't write such an article. The author named it correct, which is an exaggerated name."

Tao Sai laughed and said, "Why doesn't the Emperor know that Mr. Duanzheng is not a mocker of everyone? What if there are really four sons in the world?"

"Then I will definitely order this promiscuous femme fatale!"

Kangxi's face was full of disgust, and in a blink of an eye, something was wrong: "I don't believe that the emperor brought this book just to disgust me. He listened to the emperor's wishes and knew the author, Mr. Zhengzheng? Otherwise, why would he defend it?"

He recalled what Tao Sai had said before, and immediately lost his appetite, and asked with a livid face, "Could it be that there are such shameless women in this world?"

"I was my father-in-law's concubine, but he had an affair with his son-in-law, and even conspired to kill his first-in-law wife, and made his first-in-law wife into a pig. He has a heart of snakes and scorpions, and is shameless. Whether it is the fourth son of the heroine of this story, or the hero of the story. , have fallen below the way of human theory in the world, and are not tolerated by the world."

Seeing that he was faintly angry, Taosai laughed happily: "Words and pens are more exciting than real swords and guns. This book will be sold today. If the emperor thinks that the minister's writing is well-polished, why don't you send someone to write it?" Want to buy another copy?"

"The writing of this book was actually polished by the emperor?"

Kangxi looked at Tao Sai even more strangely when he heard him bluntly admit that the book was written in its own right.

The eyes revealed the meaning of "the emperor's uncle is not clear" and "you are really too free".

Taosai laughed, and told Kangxi that the original manuscript of this book was written by someone else, and he was in charge of polishing, embellishing the already greasy words and sentences to make them even more disgusting.

While laughing and laughing, the book has passed the name in front of the emperor, and the joke also reveals that Mr. Duanzheng is the literati he protects. There is only sympathy for those who are targeted by him.

The emperor will not stop Tao Sai, because every time the emperor's uncle makes a move, he will gain something. The emperor's uncle has a gully in his heart. He is so wise that he is close to a monster. Asking more questions will only make him look like a fool, but he is the emperor, and he only needs to see the result That's fine.

Kangxi muttered, as if waving trash away, he asked Taosai to put away that disgusting person's words, and started talking about serious matters with Taosai.

"I want to personally conquer Moxi Galdan next year," Kangxi said earnestly, "At that time, the crown prince will be left in the capital to supervise the country."

Taosai withdrew his smile, looked at Kangxi and said, "I will go with the emperor."

"The crown prince is young, has not yet completed his studies, and is easily deceived by others. I hope that the emperor's uncle will stay in the capital to take care of him."

"The safety of the capital city, there is a cloud envoy, the crown prince does not know the identity of the minister. And the minister will make a plan in advance, the first emperor's will, everything is the emperor's safety." Tao Sai said seriously.

Kangxi didn't insist, he changed the subject and asked Tao Sai: "How is Yinhu doing recently?"

Tao Sai smiled and said, "It's not the same. At his age, he should study hard, study hard, and study every day."

Kangxi: "..."

Although all elder brothers are like this □□ studies are even more difficult, but after Taosai Huangshu said, Kangxi has already imagined Yinhu's tearful appearance being tossed by the emperor.

The emperor said helplessly: "If the emperor really loves him, don't bully him all the time. The child is so innocent that he can't tell whether you are telling the truth or not."

"The emperor misunderstood," Tao Sai said, "He is very shrewd!"

Kangxi was even more worried.

Those who believe in the mouth of the emperor's uncle are fools.

Tao Sai did not argue with him, but sent people to the streets and alleys to spread the news with great interest:

The storybook "Four Sons" that moved people to tears is on sale today. The price is cheap. Reading it makes people believe in love. Reading it makes people burst into tears. It can attract people to do good things.

Kangxi had a feeling of disgust towards those "four children" in his heart, if there were really those two things in the scriptures in the world, they would be wiped out.

The familiar scripts in the capital have been turned over by people, and there is a shortage of fresh scripts to inject into them.The shopkeeper of the book shop boasted, saying that this book can make people change their ways, and immediately want to be filial to their parents and live in harmony with their husbands and wives. He also said, "This is the most touching and sincere love."

Soon, the storybook "Sier" aroused the interest of many people who love to read the storybook under the spread of news.

The bookstore in the northern section of Dongkou Road, Dongcheng Dengshi, is doing a booming business. Under the rumors in the market, many people really came to join in. On the day of the first sale, the bookstore was full of people. The first batch was sold out everywhere.

Next to Dongjiadao near Shusi, there is a mansion with the word Tongfu written on the plaque. Because Tongfu is well-known nearby, people gradually call Dongjiadao Tongfu Jiadao.

Among the neighbors who live near Tongfu, who doesn't know who "Si'er" is?

This Li Si'er was arrogant and domineering when he was away from home. As a concubine, he showed the prestige of being the wife of the family. Wherever the carriage went, he forced others to give way. Fortunately, there was no higher family status near Tong's mansion, which made the flying on the branch change. Phoenix pheasants can walk sideways in the chicken coop.

Neighbors in the neighborhood dare not speak out. When the book "Four Children" is publicized through the population, the name is enough to attract the attention of the people around. More superficial.

People bought it out of curiosity and watched it, and they were amazed, so it was passed on to ten, ten to a hundred...

For the poorer families, several families bought together and copied each other, and watched the book with the same name as "Li Si'er" of the Tong family together.

Seeing this, the neighbors who were deeply frustrated by Li Si'er's uselessness immediately found an outlet. They were originally forced to dare not take the lead due to the power of Tong's family. Now that they have this book, a group of people gather together every day The bridge sections in the story are talked about as fun.

"Tell me, is it true or false that the arrogant son persecuted his first wife in this story? Didn't Longkodo's first wife die of illness suddenly a few years ago?"

"Could it be that they were killed by those two dogs and men who talked about true love?!"

Folk rumors intensified. I didn't know who Li Si'er belonged to. After reading this highly poisonous book, he angrily accused the author of "corrupt morality".

Some people even rushed to the bookstore with books, asking the shopkeeper to refund the money.

What makes people want to honor their parents and live in harmony with their husbands and wives?

Selling dog meat as sheep's tricks, refund money!

"Mr. Zhengzheng" suddenly became a notorious rat crossing the streets. If anyone dared to stand up and say that he was Mr. Zhengzheng, he would be put in a sack and beaten to death in the street.

Yinhu had known for a long time that the pseudonym given to him by the emperor's uncle would be stinky, so it's no wonder why he didn't stink when he wrote that kind of words!

He has gained new insights in his studies, and is now honing his writing skills.

After the emperor's uncle polished the script for him, the script suddenly became different. Yinhu was amazed by his ability to control the text, and thought to himself: If only one day I can play tricks with the text like this, it would be great.

On this day, rumors began to spread in the streets and alleys of the capital, "Li Si'er of Tong's family knew that someone had written a storybook based on himself, and went to the Yamen to beat the drums in a rage to express his grievances!"

Li Si'er asked the Yamen for an explanation, saying that he would dig three feet to find out who Mr. Zhengzheng was, and destroy him.

With this commotion, rumors in the streets and alleys of Tong's mansion immediately spread in the capital.

"Have you heard? That bad book "Four Children" is a real story!"

"Really or not? I only thought that the author, Mr. Zheng Zheng, was a hypocrite and a villain with corrupt morals. I didn't expect this book to be a real person?"

"Who else could it be? The Si'er in the book is Li Si'er, the concubine of Longkodo, Tongfu! Mr. Zhengzheng is a big festival, he is complaining for the common people, for the wife who was persecuted to death by Li Si'er!" !"

"Aren't he afraid that the Tong family's power will persecute him?"

"Not afraid of power, venomous words, good, very good, this is a literati with backbone. To speak out for those who died unjustly, and to seek justice for the people who were killed. I will buy Mr. Zhengzheng's book."

"I tore up Mr.'s book, I'm really ashamed," a literati couldn't regret it, and went to the book store to buy another copy.

Tao Sai told Yinhu with a smile: "Your book is very popular, and it will be sold out in a few days."

Yinhu didn't believe it at all: I don't know what kind of shit I wrote?

He was already prepared to be cursed behind his back every day under the pseudonym of Mr. Duanzheng. Thinking about it this way, he was actually a little excited?

After all, eating "shit" by oneself is stinky, feeding "shit" to others, and seeing others being stinky to the point of causing harm, Yinhu immediately feels happy.

No one expected that when Li Si'er saw this book, she was so angry that she went to court. People in Tong's mansion let her succeed without any precautions. .

Everyone said: Mr. Zhengzheng, not afraid of power, speaks out for the victims .

If you don't buy it again, I'm afraid this book will be banned. The Tong family is powerful, but the mother family of the emperor!

Overnight, a large number of people who came to buy the book "Four Children" gathered in various bookstores. If they couldn't buy it, some people borrowed it to copy it. Sigh.

Three days later, Mr. Tuanzheng's famous work "Four Children" was sold out in major bookstores.

People exploded, and the rumors intensified: "It must be that the Tong family used all-powerful means to ban Mr. Duanzheng's book."

"Long Kedo, the son of the Tong family, is the proud son in the book, and the younger brother of Empress Tong Jia. He connives at his concubine and tortures his first wife, and he is used to bullying others. Today, when I go to the street, I will definitely throw him a piece of tattered vegetable leaves!"

"Then Li Si'er is still arrogant in the yamen. I really don't know what it means. Is there a censor in the capital who can go to the heaven to listen? Is there any way to let such low-handed people get away with it?"

……

Tao Saile laughed loudly: "I printed a total of [-] copies. I didn't expect so many people to pay for it. It's because the imperial court banned the book, but it just didn't print again."

This is the first time Yinhu watched the layout of the emperor's uncle. The people were outraged, the literati scolded, the Tong family suffered, and the court censor was impeached.This big drama is full of the world's various states, which is really an eye-opener.

Kangxi rubbed his temples, seeing that Longkodo dared to intercede, so in a rage he stripped him of his position as Luanyi envoy and ordered him to go home and think about his mistakes behind closed doors.

If he hadn't been the younger brother of Empress Tong Jia, he would have joined Li Si'er long ago and would have been a pair of dead mandarin ducks in prison!

"It's a pity, the emperor still has some feelings for Empress Tong Jia," Tao Sai curled his lips and muttered, and finally asked Yinhu: "Do you still write scripts? Mr. Zhengzheng's name is well-known in the capital now. This is a good way to hide clumsiness, how about striking while the iron is hot and doing another trick?"

Yinhu rejected Taosai's proposal.

Don't think that he doesn't know, the emperor's uncle is afraid that the world will not be chaotic and wants to watch the fun.

"Students have to sharpen their writing skills." Yinhu explained.

Soon, Khan Ama ordered the prince who had gone to Changchun Garden to study behind closed doors to be called back to the Forbidden City.

The 15-year-old young prince is tall and tall, with a dignified temperament, and looks as picturesque from a distance.

This is the first time Yinhu sees Khan Ama's favorite son—Prince Yinreng.

The prince noticed his gaze, and nodded slightly to him, with a sense of detachment in his elegance, Yinhu couldn't help staring blankly.

This is the prince who was abolished and established in the midst of the nine sons seizing the throne?

The dramas were really deceiving, he had read so many dramas, none of them could be as good-looking as Prince Yinreng!

That night, Yinhu's head exploded like a well, and many new dramas related to the prince were refreshed.

"Love Moves the Great Qing Dynasty: Traveling Through the Crown Princess", this one looks like the hero and heroine are in love. Yinhu doesn't want to look at the relationship, but only wants to look at the career, so he automatically skips it.He clicked on another play called "The Taboo of the East Palace". The title of this play is very serious at first glance.

Yinhu's big pure eyes were wide open, and he fell in love with the person playing Prince Yinreng at first glance, and couldn't help but nodded secretly: "Not bad, not bad, although a little softer, it's better to be good-looking, and the temperament is not bad."

He has a little expectation.

Hmm, that's really good, His Royal Highness, brother and friend, he helped the poor little "Yinhu" in the drama.

Um?Something is wrong, is the prince paying too much attention to "Yinhu"?

In the dead of night, the prince invited the eighth elder brother Yinhu to come to the East Palace for a private meeting, pushed him to the corner of the wall, stretched out his arms to support him between the arms and the wall, and said in a forbearing and hoarse voice: "You still want to run away from me!" When is it?"

Yinhu's tiger's body trembled, as if struck by lightning!
