Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Eighth Is the Teenager Playing?(1/2)
Ji Ming and Guapi were taken away, and the civil servants and generals present did not react much.
After all, in the strict hierarchical Qin Dynasty, there were differences between people.
A noble person such as an emperor is simply a god-like existence.
Lowly people such as Ji Ming and Guapi are already close to pigs and dogs. What's wrong with killing pigs and dogs? A gentleman cooks far away and doesn't see it with his own eyes.
The courtiers' attention was focused on Li Shui and Chunyu Yue.
The dispute between these two people seems to have no resolution yet.
Ying Zheng looked at Chun Yuyue, then at Li Shui, and said calmly: "The argument between you two seems to be a misunderstanding."
Li Xin nodded beside him and said, "Yes, it's all a misunderstanding. It's the despicable guy Ji Ming who is secretly sowing discord."
Li Shui looked at Chunyu Yue with a smile: "Sister-in-law, why don't we shake hands and make peace?"
Chunyu Yue bowed his hand to Li Shui.
He was really afraid of Li Shui, so there was no need to shake hands and make peace. It was not easy to offer him a hand.
Li Xin suddenly let out a sigh, looked at Chun Yuyue and said, "Why does my sister-in-law look so melancholy and glum, as if he has something on his mind?"
Chunyu Yue was slightly stunned and thought: Do I have it?
Li Shui smiled and said, "I know why."
Li Xin asked curiously: "Why?"
Li Shui said: "Although the truth has been found out and Ji Ming has been punished, Dr. Chunyu's reputation will never be recovered. People's words are terrible, and it is difficult to recover after overturning the water."
Chunyu Yue's heart thumped: That's right.
Now that he is better, Chunyu Yue is really depressed.
Li Xin asked curiously: "Brother Huai, you are always resourceful, but is there any way you can help your sister-in-law?"
Li Shui said: "Of course there is a way."
Li Shui and Li Xin were walking back and forth in the court, and they exchanged words as if they had been discussed, attracting everyone's attention.
Many people stretched their necks and looked at them, waiting for Li Shui's solution.
Li Shui coughed dryly and said slowly: "This method is very simple. Now His Majesty has the virtues of the Three Emperors and the merits of the Five Emperors. The people of the world only believe in Your Majesty."
"If Your Majesty is willing to come forward and visit the Exorcist Tower in person to say something to the people of Xianyang, he will say that Dr. Chunyu did not slander the Journey to the North yesterday. It was Ji Ming who sent people to pretend to deliberately smear the Journey to the North and Dr. Chunyu. In this way,
The people believed it."
"And Dr. Chunyu was next to him and took the opportunity to praise a few words about his journey to the north. Then the people in Xianyang City must have a great impression of Dr. Chunyu."
"They may even feel that Dr. Chunyu is indeed a virtuous and upright person. They were not wrong in the past because they wronged Dr. Chunyu yesterday. The guilt in their hearts will make them love the doctor even more."
A strange look appeared on Ying Zheng's face.
He saw through Li Shui's trick at a glance: After all, you want me to help you stand up so that you can take the opportunity to make money?
And Chunyu Yue had the same idea.
Li Shui coughed dryly and said, "I have no other thoughts. Everything is for the sake of Dr. Chunyu."
Ying Zheng thought for a while and said, "It's not necessary for me to come to the Immortal Exile Tower in person. I'll just send a eunuch to read out an edict and rectify Chunyu Yue's name. That's all."
Regarding Ying Zheng's decision, Li Shui would never dare to force it.
So he gave a thumbs up and sincerely praised: "Your Majesty, this is a good method. It not only tells the truth, but also retains the emperor's majesty. Your Majesty's wisdom is ten times better than that of my ministers."
courtier:"……"
This shameless, flattering person, you have said all the right things and wrong things.
Chunyu Yue's lips moved, and Li Shui quickly stopped him and said seriously: "Dr. Chunyu Yue, it is natural that your Majesty will not go to the Exorcist Tower. You have to go."
"This time, I am trying to save your reputation, Doctor. Unless you don't care about your reputation, otherwise, it would be better to take a trip."
Chunyu Yue sighed and said, "That's all, I'll just go there."
He knew that Li Shui was right. There was a lot of rumblings outside now. If he didn't praise Northern Journey, he really wouldn't be able to quell the people's discussion.
But... from what angle can I praise Northern Journey? I really can’t find it.
Chunyu Yue felt a little worried.
Ying Zheng asked Li Shui: "Have you finished printing Journey to the North and the Hometown of Yao and Shun?"
Li Shui said with a smile: "It has been printed. I just have to wait for a good day to sell it. I asked an expert to divine a divination. Three days later..."
Ying Zheng said calmly: "It doesn't have to be three days later, just today. It would be good if these messy things end as soon as possible."
Whenever Ying Zheng thinks of Journey to the North, he feels very embarrassed. People in the world have seen such a book and know that it was written by his own prince. Then where can he put his old face? Does he still need the majesty of the emperor?
But he didn't want to dampen Fu Yao's enthusiasm, and Fu Yao used the pseudonym Beiming Youyu, so he didn't directly embarrass himself.
Therefore, Ying Zheng wanted to sell the book as soon as possible. After the bet was completed, the matter was forgotten.
The so-called extending the head is also a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife.
Some people always retreat step by step when faced with a difficult situation, and they can delay it for a day. But Ying Zheng is different. He always faces difficulties and rushes through them with all his strength.
This is the difference between an eternal emperor and ordinary people.
Li Shui originally wanted to wait for three days before starting to stir up the heat. But since Ying Zheng said so, he stopped delaying, so he bowed and said: "Yes, your majesty's golden words are God's will, better than the results of any divination."
It all works.”
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.
The court meeting ended, and the ministers walked outside in twos and threes.
Li Shui announced to everyone: "Everyone, the new book will be released in the afternoon. I hope you will be there when the time comes."
The courtiers all laughed.
To be honest, they all wanted to do the opposite of Li Shui. Li Shui asked them to go east, but they wanted to go west. Li Shui asked them to catch dogs, but they wanted to catch chickens.
But this time, they really wanted to see it.
After all...people of any era have a heart for gossip.
Before reaching the gate of the palace, Fu Yao hurried over and said to Li Shui: "Master, shall we start selling books in the afternoon?"
Li Shui nodded.
Fu Yao said uneasily: "Is it too hasty?"
Li Shui said seriously: "This is an auspicious day set by His Majesty, how could it be rushed? With the emperor's blessing, the sales will be better."
Li Xin watched his performance silently.
Li Shui patted Fu Yao on the shoulder: "Let's go get ready quickly."
Fu Yao nodded vigorously and followed Li Shui outside happily.
As a result, the two of them were walking halfway when a young palace maid suddenly came over, saluted Li Shui and said, "Princess Weiyang invites you."
Li Shui's eyes lit up and he immediately said to Fu Yao: "You and Brother Li go and prepare first. I will be there in a moment."
Fu Yao suddenly became depressed: "What can my sister do to you?"
Li Shui said seriously: "Princess matters are of course business matters. Go quickly and don't delay."
Li Xin was also a little reluctant: "Brother Huai, I am an important minister in the court and a general. How can I do such a thing for you?"
Li Shui coughed dryly and said to Li Xin: "Brother Li, don't worry, you helped me this time. From now on, you will have free food and accommodation in Shangjun Courtyard. You will have priority to use all new inventions in Shangjun Courtyard for free."
Li Xin's eyes suddenly lit up.
But a few seconds later, Li Xin came to his senses and said, "That's not right. I'm in Shangjun Courtyard. I have free food and accommodation. I can use those new inventions for free."
But by this time, Li Shui had already disappeared.
…………
In the Danfang, Princess Weiyang was sitting upright, waiting there.
Wei Young was very relaxed when she met Li Shui before, but since that night, Wei Young has felt a little uncomfortable.
My face is red, my heart is beating, my mind is in a trance, and I am confused and enjoying it.
Wei Yang didn't know why she came to see Li Shui, but she couldn't help but came.
After sitting in the alchemy room, she realized that she had no reason at all. So she began to think hard and find a reasonable explanation for herself.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Weiyang stood up nervously.
She saw Li Shui come in.
Li Shui saluted her seriously, as usual.
But at this moment, Wei Young suddenly found an excuse.
She nodded to Li Shui as seriously as possible, and then said softly: "I came here specifically to say thank you."
Li Shui was slightly startled: "Thank you?"
