Chapter 1926: Demonic words confuse the public

"What does it matter?"Zhu Xi still didn't understand why Dong Zhongshu attached so much importance to this absurd statement.

Dong Zhongshu patiently explained:

"Did you know that many people nowadays only know"The Analects of Confucius" but not"The Analects of Confucius". Even after reading"The Analects of Confucius", they still think that the meaning of"The Analects" is the meaning explained in"The Analects of Confucius", so Treat our Confucian sect as the rules of the society……"

After hearing this, Zhu Xi's face finally turned serious.

He actually regards Confucianism as the rules of the society?

Are they next to each other?

It's a thousand miles away, okay?

You know, the purpose of our Confucianism is to let the king rule the country with Confucianism!

Club rules?

Zhu Xi had the urge to vomit blood.

Dong Zhongshu continued:

"If things continue to develop like this, how can we promote Confucianism? How can the world still be in awe of the thoughts of The Analects? Does this destroy the foundation of our Confucianism?"

After listening to Dong Zhongshu's explanation, Zhu Xi couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Only then did he understand the seriousness of the matter.

Zhu Xi made a decision immediately:

"We have to find a way to ban"The Whispering" from being sold on the market, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. Dong

Zhongshu nodded and said:

"It is indeed necessary to ban the spread of"The Whispering Language", but how to ban it is a problem. This book was published by Li Qingzhao, Cai Wenji and their bookstores, and they would definitely not agree to our request. Zhu

Xi thought for a while, then made up his mind and said:

"For the current plan, we can only go to the palace to meet the Holy Sage and cry to the Holy Sage, saying that Cai Wenji and Li Qingzhao distorted the Sage's words, which is really treason. As a result, the Holy Emperor issued an order to ban the publication of"Wanyu". Dong

Zhongshu thought for a while, nodded and said:

"Indeed, only by asking the Holy One to come forward can we stop"The Whispering Words" from deceiving the public with its evil words. However," there was a trace of hesitation on his face,

"Can the two of us persuade the Holy One to go out and intervene in this matter?"

Although they are dean-like figures among the Confucian sect, their status in the imperial court of the Immortal Tang Dynasty is only the official title of the fourth rank.

Compared with Li Qingzhao, Cai Wenji's rank is one rank lower.

In Li Qingzhao's case , He was not particularly favored by Li Er.

Therefore, it was not easy to persuade Li Er to ban the spread of"The Whispering Language".

Zhu Xi also knew that his weight in Li Er's mind was not very high. He thought about it road:

"If it were just the two of us entering the palace, I'm afraid the Holy One might not listen to us if we speak lightly. We might as well go to Prime Minister Wu Fu and Shangguan Shangshu for help and ask them to go to the audience together. With their help in speaking up, the Holy One will pay more attention to it. Dong

Zhongshu nodded and said:

"If Prime Minister Wu and Shangguan Shangshu are willing to advise us, this matter will be easy."

Zhu Xi:

"Okay, let's go find Wu Fu and Shangguan Wan'er separately. Then we go to see the Holy Spirit together"

……

Li Qingzhao's residence.

At this moment, Li Qingzhao, Cai Wenji, and Zhuo Wenjun were discussing something excitedly.

"It’s so popular, so popular that several bookstores have gone to full capacity to print"The Whispering Language", but the results are still not enough to sell. Zhuo Wenjun shouted excitedly.

Li Qingzhao also looked happy:

"I didn't expect that"The Whispering Words" would be so popular. Everyone regarded this book as a collection of jokes."

Cai Wenji laughed so hard that her mouth split open:

"Hahaha, in just a few days, the bookstore earned more than 50,000 taels of silver, which was a huge profit. By the way, do you want to give Li Yuan some royalties? Zhuo

Wenjun said:

"Li Yuan even used the innate pill wood to burn as firewood, how could he care about the royalties?"

Li Qingzhao:

"Making money was secondary, the main purpose was to suppress the development of Confucianism.

She looked at Cai Wenji and asked :

"Aren’t you asked to follow everyone’s reading situation? How did readers react after reading this book? Cai

Wenji said excitedly:

"The response was very good, almost unexpectedly good. I understand that people who have read this book think"The Analects of Confucius" is much more interesting than"The Analects of Confucius". There are even martial arts sects that use the"Yu Yu" to formulate gang rules. Moreover, even the five or six-year-old children in my house said the words"When a person is about to die, his words are also good" when he was playing and playing. I asked the child what this sentence meant, and he said it meant If you beat someone until they are close to death, the words you say will sound nice."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Hearing the interesting things Cai Wenji said, Zhuo Wenjun and Li Qingzhao couldn't help laughing.

Li Qingzhao laughed and said:

"At this time,"The Analects" is completely led astray by"Wanyu". Zhuo

Wenjun sighed:

"Unexpectedly, the method Li Yuan came up with was really effective. These two years of massage have been so worth it."

Cai Wenji:

"Li Yuan does have a lot of clever ideas, and he won't accept it even if he doesn't accept it."

While the three of them were happily discussing the success of"The Whispering Words", suddenly, a lady hurriedly walked in.

The maid said to Li Qingzhao:

"Miss, the Holy Sage has sent someone to inform you, asking you, Mr. Cai and Mr. Zhuo to go to the palace immediately to meet the Sage. Li

Qingzhao said unexpectedly:

"Your Majesty is calling the three of us into the palace now. What's the matter?"

Zhuo Wenjun:

"You’ll know if you go there."

Li Qingzhao nodded.

They put on their official uniforms and immediately set off to the palace.

After a while, they arrived at the door of the imperial study.

After the eunuch reported, Li Qingzhao, Zhuo Wenjun, and Cai Wenji walked in solemnly. In the imperial study.

Entering the imperial study, Li Qingzhao was surprised to find that in the imperial study, in addition to the emperor, there were Wu Fu, the prime minister of the left, Shangguan Wan'er, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, and Zhu Xi. Dong Qichang was also there.

Seeing Zhu Xi and Dong Qichang, Li Qingzhao He guessed the purpose of His Majesty summoning the three of them.

In particular, Li Qingzhao also discovered that on His Majesty's desk, there was actually a copy of"The Whispering Language" published by her!

It seemed that they were here to file a complaint.

These two old antiques, The response is quite fast.

《It had only been a few days since the release of"The Whispering Language", but they actually paid so much attention to it.

Although thoughts were swirling in their minds, Li Qingzhao, Zhuo Wenjun, and Cai Wenji did not show any hesitation on their faces.

The three of them bowed to Li Er respectfully:

"The minister Li Qingzhao (Zhuo Wenjun, Cai Wenji) pays homage to our emperor."

Li Er did not wear an imperial robe, but a set of bright yellow casual clothes.
