I write novels in the East Palace

From Lingnan to Jingzhong, it would take about two or three days to travel at full speed. While Fang Guanyan was still on the road, Zhou Chengyi's "Misunderstanding the Country" was finally published in "Chang'an" magazine.

And Fu Qian lived up to his entrustment and made the promotion of the book to the extreme. He also deliberately used "the author's personal experience of the ups and downs of the officialdom as an adaptation" as a selling point. Not only did he hang up a banner in Chang'an Bookstore, he also asked the newsboys to come and go one after another from dawn to dusk. The constant hawking and hawking in the city naturally attracted many Confucian scholars and scholars, and the sales of the magazine finally ushered in a big peak after being stable for more than a month.

Zhou Chengyi had secretly waited for this book to be on the shelves for a long time, and now that he finally saw it, he couldn't help sneaking into Chang'an City to inquire about the evaluation.

Most of the young students who have never been in officialdom think that the officialdom depicted in this work is dark and treacherous and very real. Those who have been in officialdom, such as Mr. Song Xuwen, only think that Zhige exaggerates a lot, and some alarmist words.

"It's okay as a novel." The old gentleman commented reluctantly, frowning, obviously not satisfied with Zhi Ge's new article.

Yu Ying passed by and heard this, and asked, "Isn't this just a novel?"

An old gentleman.

Those who also felt heart attack were the officials of the court.

Because Zhi Ge's vest is already well known in the court, and the title of the book is so straightforward, all the ministers are very reasonable to suspect that this is a work of connotation. After all, His Highness has a criminal record, the first book is Connotation His Majesty.

So Baiguan said that he didn't care, but in fact they all bought a copy behind their backs and read it. After reading it, they really didn't doubt it. This is not the connotation. This is Minghan.

What was even worse was Lu Shangshu in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, because Prime Minister Fang held the mentality that being alone is worse than being happy with others, so he took the book to see this old friend immediately.

The former head of the household department has long lost the vigor and vigor of the past. After taking off his official robes and hats, his hair turned gray overnight, he appeared old frequently, and his posture was quite embarrassing.

Hearing the movement, he turned his head slowly, squinted his cloudy eyes for a while before seeing who it was, he suddenly widened his eyes and propped himself up, and grabbed the railing of the dungeon, his lips trembling in hope , some incoherent, "You are here, did His Majesty call you here? Minister, guilty minister——"

Prime Minister Fang slowly shook his head, "You don't have to wait anymore, the sentence of exile has been handed down, Your Majesty pities you and you have done practical things for the Xiao Kingdom, I will let you leave Beijing after the autumn wind blows in September."

Lu Shangshu's hopes were shattered, and he was stunned for a long time, his eyes filled with mist, he pursed his lips for a long time and could only let out a miserable laugh, before he knelt down on the ground, "Then you, Fang Yunyu, came to see my joke today?"

Prime Minister Fang shook his head, "I have been in the same robe for decades. When I was relegated to Cangzhou, you came to give me some money. Today, when you are in trouble, a certain person also comes to see you off."

"I found a good book by chance, I hope you will be happy after listening to it." He said as he opened the page of "Misunderstanding the Country" in the magazine, and began to read in a calm voice.

It took only a quarter of an hour to read the short ten thousand words. Lu Shangshu looked stunned. When Prime Minister Fang stopped, he subconsciously asked, "What happened next? What happened to this corrupt official?"

Prime Minister Fang looked at him silently.

Lu Shangshu suddenly came to his senses, "Yes, what else can I do, of course... the matter was revealed, and the house was confiscated..."

"But I, I have also spent my wealth for the country and the people, and I have also traveled around for the people. How did I end up like this?" The old man was crying, his voice was choked and hoarse, and he couldn't utter it several times. When the voice came, it was only intermittently that he spoke a complete sentence.

Listening to his sobs, Prime Minister Fang couldn't bear to close his eyes, and sighed, "Old Lu, you made a wrong step, and you still lost to yourself in the end."

He paused and continued, "You don't have to blame His Royal Highness for being violent, if His Highness hadn't said that after you devoured all the relief supplies, His Majesty would liquidate you later, you might not only lose this black gauze hat, but your life might also be in danger. "

"Your Majesty forgets your faults, and also forgets your merits. He arranged a house in Gyeongju, but for the rest of his life, you have to do everything by yourself. Take care."

This means that the Lu family will completely withdraw from the political arena, and will not be able to enter the court for at least 20 years. The next two generations of the Lu family are almost abolished.

This is His Majesty's usual method. He is usually kind to his subjects, but when he settles the case, his methods are like thunder, and he has to crush them to pieces.

It is precisely because of this time's calmness that Lu Shangshu still had hope until just now.

"..." Lu Shangshu opened his mouth, but in the end he only kowtowed to express his gratitude, "Sinner Lu Boqi, thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Prime Minister Fang sighed, folded his fists and bowed to see off his friend, "Grand Lu, please leave now."

As he said that, he was about to leave, but was stopped, "Wait."

Lu Shangshu pointed to the book in his hand, "Who wrote that "Breaking the Country"?"

"Of course it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Prime Minister Fang replied.

Lu Shangshu swallowed the praise that came to his lips, and said sullenly, "It's too exaggerated, it should be improved."

Zhou Chengyi suddenly sneezed while walking on the streets of Chang'an, touched his itchy nose, and sneezed again.

It's rare that Zhou Chengyao, who was not sick, looked at him helplessly and worriedly, "No, it's just right for me, are you sick again?"

"I can't sleep when I say nothing, but I sneeze when I want to talk. This is obviously someone talking about it." Fu Qian said so while playing with the fan.

Zhou Chengyi put his fingers under his nose, and said cheerfully, "That's over, I'm afraid I'm going to sneeze and be admitted to the Taitai Hospital in the past few days."

Fu Qian thought about all kinds of anonymous articles submitted to Chang'an Bookstore today, but the style was obviously made by officials, so he couldn't help laughing: "It makes sense."

Zhou Chengyi went back to the palace alone, and suddenly saw a tall and handsome young man in front of the palace gate, his footsteps paused, and then he opened his arms and stepped forward in surprise, hugged him, and subconsciously turned upside down .

"Brother, you are finally back!"

Just as Fang Guanyan was about to salute, he was hugged into his arms suddenly, his expression was stunned, and he felt a short volley from his feet——Mr. actually picked him up directly!

In the force of the slapping on the back, Fang Guanyan's mind fluttered for a while before being pulled back.

Zhou Chengyi had already let go, grabbed his shoulder and looked him over carefully, "Sure enough, he lost weight."

At the beginning, I felt that the weight was different. Now I saw that the cheeks were thinner, but the eyebrows and eyes looked more outstanding. It looked rather domineering, which was just neutralized by the owner's own temperament, and brought out a bit of hidden edge in the warmth. .

"It seems that this trip to the West has yielded quite a lot." Zhou Chengyi patted him on the shoulder in relief, but seeing no one else, he asked with the inexplicable intuition in his heart, "You came back first?"

Fang Guanyan nodded, feeling a little regretful about that short-lived embrace, hiding the greed in his eyes deeply, his expression was as clear as jade, "Your Highness, Guan Yan remembers the promise, come drink with Your Highness."

Zhou Chengyi raised his eyebrows, looked at him alone, spread his hands and asked, "What about the wine?"

"Wine—" Fang Guanyan paused, and suddenly remembered the wine that was placed in the cabin together with the Western wine, showing a bit of annoyance, "It came in a hurry, and I forgot to bring it."

"Pfft—" Zhou Chengyi couldn't hold back his laughter, and teased, "So I forgot to bring it, I thought you drank it on the way."

"Your Highness, don't make fun of me." Fang Guanyan's face was quite red, and it was hard to believe that he had made such a low-level mistake.

Zhou Chengyi sighed pretendingly, "That's all, it seems that I have to spend money to buy Zigu to drink today."

When Fang Guanyan heard the words he called himself, his thoughts moved slightly, and the scenery reflected in his eyes sparkled, "Your Highness..."

"You still call me Your Highness?" Zhou Chengyi looked at him leisurely, touched his chin and raised his head to the sky and said, "I don't know who it is, who called me Mr. when drunk, and said that he hoped that I could call you Zigu." .”

"Sir!" Fang Guanyan blushed.

Some strange restraint between the two of them completely melted away.

"See that I don't need to be so anxious, I can't run away."

Zhou Chengyi chuckled twice, stretched out his hand to cover the top of his head and rubbed it naturally, his eyes were gentle, and his tone was intimate, "I'll talk about the drinking later, you'd better follow me to see the emperor first, seeing you are a dusty person. "

Fang Guanyan looked at Zhou Chengyi's back, and there was an emotion in his eyes that others didn't understand.

When we arrived at Qianyuan Palace, the emperor and Prime Minister Fang had already been waiting inside.

"It turns out that Fang Xiaoaiqing has been waiting for my son at the gate of the palace for so long under the scorching sun."

The emperor covered his lips with a handkerchief and coughed twice. He looked at the two with a smile that didn't look like he was reproaching, "Finally, have you finally finished your confession and remembered the business?"

After Zhou Chengyi completely lost his horse, he didn't pretend anymore, and directly reached out his hand to beg for what he needed with a very cheeky face, "Father, I want to tell my heart that there are still two jars of good wine here, so I just found it."

The emperor's fingers trembled imperceptibly when he heard his words, and quickly calmed down. He only coughed twice before saying inexplicably, "You are becoming domineering now."

Obviously he was a little scared before, not to mention trembling, but he always acted like he was walking on thin ice.

Zhou Chengyi raised his brows lightly, and said calmly, "There is nothing to be afraid of if you break the pot and fall."

The emperor couldn't help but nod him with his fingers volleying in the air, his eyes showed two points of warning.

Zhou Chengyi shut his mouth wisely.

Prime Minister Fang and Fang Guanyan looked at each other, they didn't know what charades the emperor and the prince were playing, and they didn't say anything good, but their attitudes towards each other were kind, and they couldn't tell whether they were angry or not.

Each of them was thinking deeply, while Fang Guanyan looked at Zhou Chengyi worriedly, but he saw that the latter looked more relaxed than before, as if he had let go of some worries.

Fang Guanyan had no way of guessing, so he buried his doubts in his heart, and it happened that the emperor ordered him to come forward.

The journey to the west is indeed not smooth. Many countries outside have invaded and occupied colonies across the sea. Not only the southeast is occupied by the red-haired barbarians, but also many small countries are forced to open their doors. At present, the western Mani country is dominating the sea.

Fang Guanyan saw the general situation of each country very clearly, neither exaggerated nor belittled too much, and stated the facts in a calm tone.

After hearing this, Prime Minister Fang couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, there are Western guns."

As he spoke, he asked a little worriedly, "Is there?"

Fang Guanyan nodded, "In addition to Western guns, I brought back a lot of things." He briefly introduced a few more.

After everything was reported, the emperor looked tired and said, "You have worked hard."

Then he asked Wang He to hold an exquisite box in front of him, Fang Guanyan opened it and saw what was inside, he was slightly startled.

Prime Minister Fang's eyes widened even more, and he looked up excitedly and hesitantly, "Your Majesty?"

Zhou Chengyi leaned over to look, it was actually a blood-colored dragon-shaped jade pendant, one could tell it was made by everyone at a glance, even the scales had been carefully carved, it was very lifelike.

The emperor pressed his eyebrows and said, "This thing is from the previous dynasty. It should not have been given to you. I think you have made great achievements this time, so I will leave you to think about it."

Zhou Chengyi understood that it belonged to Fang Guanyan's mother Sun.

Sure enough, seeing Prime Minister Fang staring at the blood jade pendant full of nostalgia, Fang Guanyan looked a little complicated, and looked up at him inexplicably.

Zhou Chengyi:?

Zhou Chengyi originally thought that Fang Guanyan should cherish this thing very much, but when he saw that Fang Guanyan's brows seemed to be in inexplicable contemplation, he boasted casually, and saw the young man's brows loosen, and said that he would give it to him.

Zhou Chengyi blinked, unable to react.

Fang Guanyan pursed his lips nervously, "It's a waste to keep this exquisite thing in my hands, and it's just right that my husband likes it."

"Give it to me?" Zhou Chengyi raised his eyebrows.

Without saying a word, Fang Guanyan lowered his head and tied the blood jade pendant around his waist.

Prime Minister Fang's pupils trembled after they came out, and he opened his mouth and shouted in his heart: Stop!This is what your mother wants to give to your daughter-in-law!

The author has something to say: It's too hot today, people are going crazy, and there is another chapter.

Zhou Chengyi: Zigu is really generous, such an important jade pendant can be given as a gift.

Fang Guanyan: Well, as long as the husband likes it.

Prime Minister Fang: ... (Shocked out of breath)
