Li Sixu seemed puzzled and looked at Zhang Jiazhen with an innocent face: "My princess's aunt has not spread the story book. Could it be that when Brother Xuan lent it to Young Master Zhang, it was spread in Mr. Zhang's house?"
Xuanzong's eyes locked on him sharply, and Yuan Qianyao also looked at him with disbelief. Li Linhuai and Eunuch Yang's eyes were cold, and even the eyes of the little eunuch on duty in the imperial study looked wrong.
Only then did Zhang Jiazhen realize that the little princess in front of her had been digging a hole for him to jump into.
And he accidentally stepped on the sideline and really collapsed into the pit.
Fortunately, despite his age, he has always been very nimble in his actions. Under the gaze of everyone, he filled the loopholes in Li Sixu's words.
"The princess said there are three scripts."
A thin bead of sweat broke out on Zhang Jiazhen's forehead: "Who else has the other set? I think it was the person with the script who accidentally spread it."
Finally climbing out of the hole dug by the little princess, Zhang Jiazhen was still congratulating herself on her quick reaction, while Li Sixu smiled happily.
Before he could figure out what Li Sixu was laughing at, Xuanzong spoke in a low voice: "Did Zhang Aiqing mean that I accidentally spread the script?"
"What?"
Everyone in Zhang Jiazhen was dumbfounded: "The words, the book of words, are in the hands of the Holy One."
"Yes, there is also a set of scripts, which is in the hands of the emperor!"
Li Sixu was considerate and explained his doubts: "If you make up nonsense in the palace, you must show it to your father. Otherwise, if someone pulls out your pigtails, what should you do if there are instigating remarks in the notebook? "
"Fortunately, every time Gao Niangniang compiled a storybook and sent it to Xingqing Hall, my father personally read it and didn't think there was anything wrong with it."
Li Sixu said jokingly: "The transcript of Mr. Zhang's speech was circulated by the emperor. Could it be that the emperor himself found someone to compile the remarks to incite rebellion, and then the imperial censor participated in it?"
how so?
Why is there still a script in the hands of the emperor?
Then he danced for a long time in the court hall and the imperial study room, wouldn't he be no different from a clown?
What made Zhang Jiazhen even more desperate was that Li Linhuai, the left-wing servant who had not spoken since he entered the royal study room with his notebook in his arms, found that he had fallen into the pit dug by the little princess and could not climb out.
I have to step on him hard.
"Your Majesty, the story of instigating a rebellion against the storybook is a serious matter. Since the storybook began to circulate in the streets, Yulinwei has sent people to secretly visit and investigate the source. The scholar who imitated the storybook has been found. He has been detained in Dali Temple. .”
Li Linhuai glanced at Zhang Jiazhen, who was forcing himself to be calm: "I believe that with the methods of the Dali Temple Prime Minister, I will be able to pry open the scholar's mouth and reveal the mastermind behind instructing him to imitate the script and write remarks inciting rebellion."
Zhang Jiazhen, who had been kneeling for too long, finally couldn't hold on any longer and swayed and fainted.
"Master Zhang, what's going on?"
Li Sixu climbed on the futon, took out a silver needle, and stabbed Zhang Jiazhen's leg hard. Poor Zhang's leg twitched violently in pain, and he didn't even dare to faint. He twisted his face and opened his eyes again.
Li Sixu grinned happily: "Ah, this princess has learned the true acupuncture techniques of Dr. Zhen. She can wake people up without pricking their acupuncture points."
"Father, it's not good!"
"Sisi seemed to have pricked the wrong acupuncture point in a hurry. Doctor Zhen said that pricking this acupuncture point would lead to lameness..."
It is embarrassing enough to be a shrewd person, but to fall into the deep pits dug by a child one after another and not be able to climb out. As an important minister in the court, he has to be teased and played like this by a little princess.
The proud and arrogant Master Zhang finally couldn't bear it anymore, rolled his eyes and fainted.
This time I was really dizzy!
I'm so angry!
"Sisi was just joking with the adults, why did she scare him into fainting?"
Li Sixu looked innocent, put her hand on his pulse, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Mr. Zhang only fainted temporarily and will wake up soon. If there is really something in your father's imperial study, Mr. Zhang will wake up soon." The slightest hint of naughtiness will be spread in the court, frightening the emperor's ministers."
"Minister of the humerus?"
Xuanzong gave a cold cry, and then ordered Eunuch Yang: "Help Mr. Zhang to the side hall and let Mr. Zhang faint for a while!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Eunuch Yang's cold and contemptuous eyes fell on Zhang Jiazhen, who had fainted, and directed the young eunuch to carry him to the side hall.
Xuanzong's attitude caused a cold sweat to break out on Yuan Qianyao's back.
Your Majesty is killing a chicken to scare the monkeys!
Mr. Zhang was also too arrogant and even considered interfering in the harem. He simply overestimated his capabilities.
Yuan Qianyao reminded himself that the higher he was in a high position, the more cautious he had to be, especially not to offend the little princess.
It is the duty of an important minister to plan his affairs in his position and to relieve His Majesty's worries.
"Your Majesty, the script circulating in the streets and alleys is too far-fetched to be classified as incitement to rebellion, but after all, the book quotes the words of the anti-Qin rebels. If it continues to be circulated, it is not good for the country. I think it should be banned. "
Yuan Qianyao suggested: "But this matter should not be made public. The story of the Stone Monkey has been circulating in the market for some time. If the court moves too much, it will arouse the curiosity of the people and the matter will go in the opposite direction."
Xuanzong thought that Yuan Qianyao's words were very pertinent. It was just a storybook and did not go so far as to instigate rebellion. However, because he quoted the words of the anti-Qin rebels, it was inappropriate to let them spread and could easily be exploited by those who wanted to.
Xuanzong was still discussing a sound countermeasure with Yuan Qianyao. Li Linhuai reported: "Your Majesty, after the little princess asked me to send the storybook of Linglongju to Yuzhen Temple, the eldest princess Yuzhen was very amazed after reading the storybook, thinking that she had traveled to the west. It writes about the world of immortals and the beauty of the immortal family, especially the Taoist temple at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, also called Yuzhen Temple, which surprised Her Royal Highness."
"The princess has promised to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet tomorrow. We will discuss with the little princess about printing the script and distributing it to the believers."
Li Sixu raised her little head and listened to their discussion about the storybook. She felt very comfortable after hearing what Li Linhuai said.
How could she have asked him to go to Yuzhen Temple to deliver the message book?
This move of Zuoe Shilang solved the problem of the storybook from the root. If the storybook of Journey to the West is published by her aunt, Princess Yuzhen, and then disseminated, the storybook will be officially stamped in the future.
No one will ever use the script she and Gao Niangniang compiled to cause trouble.
Li Sixu nodded obediently: "Sisi and Aunt Yuzhen will come to the palace to discuss it. If the book is to be published in a book, then let Wang Yuanbao supervise it."
If you imitate it, the book will only copy its shape without the original charm, so it will naturally not look better than the original version.
Use original ones instead of imitations. Such a ban will not attract attention and can easily cover up things that may be fermented.
My younger sister, Princess Yuzhen, has always been stoic and doesn't like to join in the excitement of palace banquets. Because of Xiao Shi, she is finally willing to come to this year's palace banquet.
Xuanzong Longyan was overjoyed and patted Li Sixu's shoulder lovingly: "I will finish approving the papers in a while and go to Linglong Residence to see your mother and concubine."
