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 like an emperor is like a god.
Lowly people like Ji Ming and Gua Pi are already close to pigs and dogs. If pigs and dogs are killed, what's wrong with that? A gentleman is far away from the kitchen, so it’s fine if he doesn’t see it with his own eyes.
The courtiers' attention was focused on Li Shui and Chunyu Yue.
The argument between these two people seems to have no conclusion 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, thinking: 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.
It's better now, 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 going 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. There is only one person in the world who believes in Your Majesty."
"If your Majesty is willing to come forward and visit the Immortal Exile 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 will definitely have a greatly changed impression of Dr. Chunyu."
"They may even feel that Dr. Chunyu is indeed a virtuous and upright person. They were right 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 moment 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."
Li Shui would never dare to force Ying Zheng's decision.
So he gave a thumbs up and sincerely praised: "Your Majesty's method is good. It not only tells the truth, but also retains the majesty of the emperor. Your Majesty's wisdom is ten times better than that of my ministers."
courtier:"……"
This shameless, sycophant. You've 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'm trying to save your reputation, Doctor. Unless you don't care about your reputation, otherwise, it's 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 do you praise Travels to the North? I really can’t find it.
Chunyu Yue felt a little worried.
Ying Zheng asked Li Shui: "Journey to the North and the Hometown of Yao and Shun, have they been printed?"
Li Shui said with a smile: "It has been printed. I just have to wait for a good day before it can be sold. 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 best 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 should I put my old face? Do you still want the majesty of the emperor?
But he didn't want to dampen Fu Yao's enthusiasm, and Fu Yao used the pseudonym Beiming Youyu and did not 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 only take it one day at a time. But Ying Zheng is different. He always faces difficulties and rushes through them in one go.
This is the difference between an eternal emperor and ordinary people.
Li Shui originally wanted to wait three days before stirring up the heat. But since Ying Zheng said this, he stopped delaying, so he bowed and said, "Yes, your majesty's golden words are God's will, and they are more effective than any divination results."
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.
The court meeting was over, and the ministers walked outside in twos and threes.
Li Shui announced to everyone: "Everyone, the new book will be released in the afternoon. Everyone is invited to be present when the time comes."
The courtiers all laughed.
To be honest, they all wanted to go against 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 he reached the palace gate, Fu Yao hurried over and said to Li Shui, "Master, shall we start selling books this 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 people were halfway when a little 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 felt gloomy: "What can Sister do to you?"
Li Shui said sternly: "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, I am confused, and I am 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, I realized that I 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.
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?"
Weiyang hummed: "Thank you Exiled Immortal for agreeing to my request and being humble to Dr. Chunyu many times. I heard from the palace officials that the matter between you is over. Dr. Chunyu has made peace with you."
Li Shui suddenly realized: "It's a small effort, it's not worth mentioning, haha. But...since the princess is here to express her gratitude, where is the thank you gift?"
Weiyang was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "I came in a hurry, and I didn't even have time to prepare the thank you gift."
Li Shui smiled and said, "In that case, can I ask for a thank you gift?"
Weiyang: "..."
She felt that she knew Li Shui well enough to know that Li Shui liked to do whatever he wanted and not stick to etiquette, but she never thought that someone could ask for a thank you gift...
Weiyang smiled helplessly: "Please tell me about banishing the immortal. If Weiyang can do it, I will naturally try my best to do it."
I don’t know why, but halfway through saying this, Wei Yang felt a little nervous. I was a little worried that Li Shui would make some unreasonable demands.
Li Shui thought for a while and said to Wei Yang: "Then I ask the princess to go to the Exorcist Tower after lunch."
Weiyang was stunned for a moment.
Is this asking for a thank you gift? Why do I feel like this is giving me a gift?
However, Li Shui did not make any excessive demands, which made Wei Yang feel slightly relieved. While feeling relieved, there was also a sense of loss.
Li Shui looked at the melancholy-looking princess and felt a little puzzled: Didn't you agree to this request? Do you still want the appearance fee?
Fortunately, Weiyang nodded quickly.
Li Shui breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then I will wait for the princess to come."
After the two of them talked for a few words, Wei Young's tension and discomfort eased a lot.
They chatted for a while about Fu Yao's new book.
Wei Young said uneasily: "Fu Yao's new book is a bit too childish. I'm worried that it will attract criticism."
Li Shui said with a smile: "It's originally a children's book, so it's just right to be childish."
Not long after, a palace maid said outside the door: "Princess, lunch is ready."
Wei Young responded, and then said to Li Shui: "I'm leaving, mother is waiting for me."
Li Shui sent Wei Young out of the alchemy room.
After parting ways with Wei Yang, Li Shui left the palace and came to the Exorcist Tower.
The Exorcist Building is almost ready. A large number of books have been transported here, and two stalls have been set up on the left and right of the door.
Chunyu Yue sat there glumly, because later he would publicly praise Journey to the North in order to restore his reputation.
Praise for Journey to the North? Isn't that telling lies with your eyes open?
Chunyu Yue felt that life was getting more and more difficult.
Li Xin and Fu Yao, while directing the craftsmen to work, said to Li Shui: "There are not enough people."
Li Shui said: "This is simple."
He called two craftsmen and said to them: "You two, ride on your fast horse, hold a loudspeaker made of iron sheets in your hands, run wildly and shout, and say that after lunch, you will travel to the north and Yao and Shun." Hometown, sold at the same time at the Immortal Exile Tower. First come, first served, while supplies last."
Li Xin frowned: "Just say noon? Why not give an accurate time?"
Li Shui grinned: "No need. They don't know the exact time, so they can only come as early as possible. If you come early, you will be bored, so you will definitely have to drink some wine and eat some food. Don't we make a profit?"
Fu Yao said: "The quantity of Journey to the North that arrived today is huge, and I'm afraid we won't be able to sell them all. This one will only be sold out, so there's no need to mention it, right?"
Li Shui shook his head: "Otherwise, after adding this sentence, those who want to buy the book will have a panic that they may not be able to buy it. Those who were hesitant to wait and see will have no time to wait and see. They will buy it first. "
"As soon as we start selling books, a large number of people will flock in, making it difficult to find books. And this situation will make other people even more panicked."
"In the end, sales will definitely far exceed expectations."
After hearing this, Li Xin was amazed. He looked at Li Shui and said, "Brother Huai, I found that you are really good at playing with people's hearts."
Li Shuigan laughed: "Thank you, this is just a trivial trick in the fairy world."
Li Xin whispered in a low voice: "Is there such intrigue everywhere in the fairy world? Then I am a little afraid of the fairy world."
Li Shui and Li Xin put their arms around each other: "Don't worry, the intrigues in the fairy world are all subtle and silent. You spent money, but you didn't notice the trap, so you thought you took advantage."
Li Xin seemed even more afraid.
Afternoon arrived quickly. More and more people gathered near the Banished Immortal Tower.
And some ministers of the DPRK also came together in twos and threes.
They are not here to buy books, they are here to watch the fun and see who wins the bet.
Of course, they wouldn't mind buying a few of Chun Yuyue's books.
Although they may not all agree with Chunyu Yue's idea of governing the country with Confucianism, they feel that Chunyu Yue is more like their kind than banishing immortals.
