[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

The news about the Chen family had spread to the capital as early as the twelfth lunar month. To the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was just an inconspicuous little wave.

The common people were happy with this kind of treatment. When the officials in the court secretly looked down on the Chen family, they inevitably felt sympathetic. Apart from sympathy, they also felt that the queen was cruel and protective.

If it wasn't for the people of the Chen family who were really trying to die, why did they come to this?It's not that people with connections in Jiangnan haven't heard of the Chen family's disgrace. Back then, the Zhen family didn't dare to do so.

However, people related to the "Xing Banchao" forces felt at ease. The queen is not a ruthless one, and it is reliable to be loyal to the queen.Who can be sure that there is nothing wrong at home.

At least the queen didn't kill Chen Yi's family, let Chen Yi kill a few wealthy slaves and relatives who are not good enough to hold back, which is psychologically acceptable to all officials, so she wouldn't be said to be mean and harsh.

Xie Wanying was also very sad when she heard this unsurprising result.She was not short-sighted back then, just because Chen Yi was young and had the highest official position, she had to pay the price for her blindfolded greed.

Now that the queen let her be a female official by her side, it was a great honor and grace, but Xie Wanying did not dare to neglect.Thinking about it afterwards, she didn't think that if the relationship between herself and Chen Yi hadn't broken down, the queen would not have attacked the Chen family.

The Chen family has been rampant for many years, and the queen has been hiding it all the time. Could it be Zheng Boke's intention?Xie Wanying felt that it was a crime to speculate on the Sacred Heart, and she didn't dare to think about it further.

At this time, the emperor is stationed at the gate of the northern border, and the important affairs of the court are presided over by the empress and Mrs. Zhang Lin, and the New Year sacrifices have to be represented.

At the beginning of the first lunar month, there are many big and small banquets, and I have to meet several princes, county princes, Hede, Princess Hexiao and other family members, as well as the female relatives related to my natal family. The tenth day of the first month has already passed. .

Finally having some free time, Xing Xiuyan took her daughter and two pastries she made by herself to Shangyang Palace to visit the old saint early in the morning.

When Feng drove to Shangyang Palace, there were eunuchs to deliver the report, and the old sage greeted them in the study.

"Queen, you came just in time. I have something to ask you." As soon as they entered the study, before they had time to salute, the Supreme Emperor waved at them.

Xing Xiuyan wondered, "What's the urgent matter, father?"

The old sage took out a newspaper and said, "This "Jiangnan Morning Post" has recently been sold in large quantities in Kyoto, is it your people who made it?"

Xing Xiuyan said: "No, my father knows everything my people do."

The old sage scolded: "How unreasonable! How unreasonable!"

"What's the matter, father?"

The old sage clenched his fists and said angrily: "In the "Romance of the Great Song Dynasty" in this newspaper, many plots and sentences are copied from my "Romance of the Kaiyuan"! They copied my book and dare to print it! How unreasonable!"

Canglong roared, Xing Xiuyan and Tu Yuanyuan could not help but take a step back, Tu Yuanyuan said: "Grandfather, this is just a small matter, you are doing big things..."

The old sage said: "What a trivial matter! Look at this, I almost copied my original text and changed the names of my characters."

In ancient times, there was no intellectual copyright protection for works, so this kind of plagiarism is also normal. At this time, Xing Xiuyan couldn't help but have an idea.The prosperity of culture must also respect intellectual property rights. No matter what kind of books, respecting intellectual property rights can better stimulate the creative enthusiasm of talented people.With intellectual property rights, more people can share their knowledge and technology with the society.

Xing Xiuyan comforted: "Father, someone copied your book. First of all, let me explain that your book is very popular among the people. Our newspaper also has a novel columnist because of you, which stimulated sales. Merchants saw the benefits If you can find a picture, you will follow suit. But it is impossible for the folks to find a writer with the style, experience and writing style of Fu Huang. Of course, the only way to copy is to copy."

"You dare to copy my book, you have a stiff neck!" Obviously, the old sage was really annoyed.

Xing Xiuyan expressed understanding, thinking how much he hated others for plagiarism and piracy. Xing Xiuyan said: "The folks don't know that "Kaiyuan Romance" was written by the father. Those who don't know are not guilty. Father, think about it, if you are a folk A literati, if someone copied a book, he can only admit it, and the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not say that such plagiarism is a crime."

The old sage couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief. He doesn't want to reveal his identity to the people now. He knows that as long as the people know his identity, the newspaper will definitely sell better. generation.

Seeing that there were no outsiders, the old sage said: "Girl Xing, don't pretend to be like me. If you want to play tricks on others, is there anything you can do?"

Tu Yuanyuan couldn't help laughing, offered the food box and snacks in his hand, and said, "Grandfather, what you said is interesting. The queen mother has tricks. You are majestic, Your Majesty, and my father has to kneel obediently when he sees you." Call me Papa. Can you help me?"

The old sage was amused by his granddaughter, and said: "What is my identity, how can I meet them."

Xing Xiuyan: ...

Tu Yuanyuan held the plate of dim sum, watched the old sage eat one naturally, smiled and said, "The queen mother seems to be of high status."

Xing Xiuyan smiled slightly, and said: "Actually, what the father hates is also what the daughter-in-law hates. Randomly copying and publishing for huge profits, for someone like the father who has decades of experience and has truly read poetry and books to write good articles How unfair are people? If plagiarists are allowed to grow up, and bad money chases good money, it will be harmful to the prosperity of Da Zhou culture. Only by respecting truly talented people and safeguarding the rights and interests of national scholars can national scholars be more loyal to Da Zhou , they will bring more really good works. National scholars are not only loyal ministers and good generals. For example, if the father is just a literati, he has created the common cultural wealth of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and enhanced the national label and cultural identity. contribution."

Tu Yuanyuan wondered: "Is this sense of cultural identity important? Having loyal ministers and generals is important?"

Xing Xiuyan said: "If loyal ministers and good generals are the bones and backbone of the Great Zhou, then the cultural identity is the blood, and the people in various industries are the flesh. The circulation of blood makes the bones, spine and flesh closely combined. Let's say that our Da Zhou Zhoudiguang, different places, different sounds, and even different nationalities, why are we a unified dynasty? Because we have a common cultural label, because we all read a hundred schools of thought, Tang poetry and Song Ci, and we wrote together Chinese characters, these cultural inheritances are our common marks. Culture is a kind of belief, and history has proved that its vitality is more tenacious than the dynasty. Therefore, as many splendid cultures as we create today, there will be as many people in future generations Crazy admiration for this era, wishing to travel back in time and space to return to our era. Just like our reverence for the contention of a hundred schools of thought in the pre-Qin period and the poetry of the prosperous Tang Dynasty."

The old sage took pictures repeatedly, pointed at her and said, "That's right! That's it! These people who mess around with bad money chasing good money should be taken care of."

After listening to her mother's words, Tu Yuanyuan felt something, and also echoed the old sage: "Then the emperor's grandfather will take care of them. You have been in charge of book revision for so long, so you don't bother the two masters."

The old sage blew on his beard and said, "The little girl knows that she prefers your mother in movies."

Tu Yuanyuan smiled and said: "Isn't the mother busy!" When the ice and snow melted, Xing Xiuyan was also preparing to go north to Liaodong.

Xing Xiuyan thought about the "Intellectual Property Protection Law". It is not so easy to introduce such a law now. The law is gradually perfected after a lot of experience.

The laws of later generations may not all be suitable for modern times. She really doesn't have the energy to control it herself. If she wants to produce results quickly, of course she can only "cheat".

Hey, the overall situation of the world is the most important thing, let's not mention personal grievances.Compared with maximizing the brain power of others, what happened 800 years ago is still unavoidable.

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said: "Father, why not preside over the establishment of a special law to prevent plagiarism, so as to prevent bad money from chasing good money. It is easy to take down the "Jiangnan Morning Post", but Father should take greater responsibility."

The old sage said: "I want to talk to you, but you dare to find something for me instead."

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said: "Father is the victim and has the most right to speak. It just so happens that you are old and strong. You see, I have been fighting in the south for two years, and the emperor is still in Liaodong. You can share these things and treat him as loving the emperor. "

Elderly people still like to do something, why don't they go to square dancing when they are free?Tu Yuanyi was very happy that the old sage was able to take care of the cultural affairs when he took up power to balance things out and made things difficult for the emperor.

Therefore, when Xing Xiuyan said this, the old sage was still a little complacent. He felt that his martial arts and martial arts throughout his life were probably not comparable to his son and Taizong's martial arts, but the combination of the two of them might not be able to compare with him in martial arts.

The old sage hanged himself for a while, and Tu Yuanyuan begged with a wink, and the old sage agreed.There is a fine line between the elderly and children.

After Xing Xiuyan and Tu Yuanyuan left, the old sage threw away the "Jiangnan Morning Post" that he hated.

Wash your ass, and wait for me to deal with you in the future!How dare half of an article is written by Xiao Gaizhen!

……

It cannot be said that Jia Huan's official career has not been smooth, and he became the deputy director of the Budget Department at a young age. I don't know how many people envy him.The Budget Department is very popular now. The construction of Dazhou, the departmental transfers of various departments and major events need to be budgeted, and the accounting will be gradually done in the future.

With a sound budget system, the imperial court is not as busy as before, and all matters are pre-established. If all departments want to make a difference next year and get more funding, they have to work harder than before to do practical things.

Jia Huan is obviously the most outstanding in this area. Although he is tied for the second in command, in fact he presides over many things. Even the director does not dare to underestimate him.

Although his surname was Jia, no officials in the court believed that he belonged to the "Xing Banchao" faction. Jia Huan wanted to see that Tan Qian, who was from the same family, was trusted and cultivated by the emperor.

Jia Huan didn't expect that he would be summoned by the Queen's Imperial Study, and when he wanted to see his former lover at this time, he could not just say that he was unconvinced and had mixed feelings.

The edges and corners of his life have been almost polished by that shrew of the Shen family. He has no joy in life, only satisfaction in his work.
