Now that this business is so successful that even the emperor wants to share the profits with him. When it is implemented in various places, it will be smooth and no one will dare to interfere. However, since he wants to open a bookstore to sell books, it seems that the royal name can be used.
"Your Majesty, since you are participating in the dividends of this business, can you lend me your royal name?"
Xiao Changyi didn't understand Shao Xi's intention for a while, so he asked: "Use my royal name? How to use it? Don't damage my royal reputation!"
"Of course not. Wouldn't it sell better if the bamboo paper produced could be labeled with the name of the royal family? The other option is to compile some of the articles your Majesty writes in daily life into a book, print and bind it into a volume, or After being made into paintings and calligraphy, and then finely bound and mounted for sale, I think the articles written by His Majesty will definitely sell well among the people, and at the same time, His Majesty can also use it to promote his own philosophy of governing the country."
After Xiao Changyi heard this idea, although he felt a little dumbfounded, he felt that it was indeed a good idea, but he could not help but have other concerns.
"If the books or calligraphy and paintings distributed are of poor quality, wouldn't it damage the reputation of the royal family? Furthermore, if my articles, poems and paintings are widely circulated among the people, will it affect my dignity?"
Shao Xi had long guessed that Xiao Changyi, the emperor, was a man who wanted to save face, so he explained to Xiao Changyi with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the bamboo paper produced and the books, calligraphy and paintings produced will be divided into different categories." The title of "Royal Queen" is the name of the highest grade. It must be the best in terms of quality and there will be no problems. As for His Majesty's articles, poems and paintings being circulated among the people, it is not a bad thing. It allows the people to know that Your Majesty is worried. Wouldn't it be better to care about the country and the people and care about the world? After all, they are all printed copies. Even if there are errors, it is naturally a printing error, and it is not His Majesty who made a mistake."
That means telling the emperor that the best belongs to your royal family, and the bad ones have nothing to do with your royal family. If there is an error, it is because we made a mistake in printing. It is definitely not the emperor who made a mistake yourself. Anyway, I will take all the blame for you. If the emperor refuses, just give me the naming rights.
When Xiao Changyi heard this, it was great! This can be done! I don't have to take any responsibility for giving you a name. If something happens, it's your fault. If you do it well, you can also give me a royal name. Since there are people who are willing to take the blame, why are you still hesitating?
"It's rare that you think so thoughtfully, and I'm sure about this, but what do you plan to call your bookstore? Do you want me to choose a name for you?"
Shao Xi saw that Xiao Changyi had already asked questions up to this point, and it would be disrespectful to not climb up the pole, so he respectfully bowed to Xiao Changyi.
"I would also like to ask Your Majesty to give me a name. It would be better if I could write the inscription myself, so that I can ask famous craftsmen in the world to carve it into a plaque and hang it on the bookstore to promote Your Majesty's majesty."
Xiao Changyi had long known that Shao Xi would come to do this, so he didn't say much. Before coming to the imperial case, he asked Eunuch Cao to study the ink. He picked up the pen and inscribed four large characters on a large piece of silk, and then stamped it. Gold seal to show attention.
After inscribing the words, he waved to Shao Xi and called him to the case.
Shao Xi came to the case and was shocked when he saw the words inscribed on the silk. He saw four big words on the bright yellow silk - Yuyan Bookstore!
Why is there the word "Yuyan" in the title? Could it be that the Holy One has discovered his identity? Although the name Shao Xi is indeed his real name, it is just a pseudonym in this world. His true identity is Feng Yuyan, the young master of Fengjiazhuang.
Now that the Holy One has named the bookstore Yuyan Bookstore, is he deliberately reminding those who already know his identity? How did he know? Why don't you say it clearly to yourself and why do you take this approach?
Although I was shocked in my heart, I still had to pretend to be confused before I exposed some things.
If smart people want to live longer, they must know how to pretend to be stupid. Only stupid people want others to think they are smart.
"Okay! Great!"
Xiao Changyi looked sideways at Shao Xi and asked with a smile: "What do you think is good? What's so good about it?"
Shao Xi bowed and replied: "Needless to say, your majesty's calligraphy has the potential of a dragon and a tiger, so it is good to have this name. I just mentioned to your majesty that your majesty's articles, poems and paintings should be published and distributed so that the common people can see your majesty's works. It is said that His Majesty's mouth is a golden mouth, and what comes out of the Golden Mouth must be jade words. So what the bookstore spreads to the people is the jade words from His Majesty's golden mouth. Therefore, the meaning of the jade words is really wonderful. .”
Xiao Changyi was stunned by Shao Xi's explanation. He didn't expect that the name of the bookstore he had inscribed had a profound meaning after his explanation, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
"You really understand my heart, so I will give you the inscription. From now on, your bookstore will be appointed by the royal family and taught by the royal pen."
Shao Xi felt secretly happy at this moment. With the emperor's support, who would dare to compete with him for this business in the future? Otherwise, it would be very satisfying to shoot the flattery. Keep doing it, and it will always be fun!
"Thank you for your grace! I will do my best to run the bookstore well, spread the holy will for your majesty, and educate the people. Your majesty will definitely have a lasting legacy, be passed down for thousands of years, be virtuous all over the world, and be famous throughout history."
Xiao Changyi was really happy to be flattered by Shao Xi's flattery. As expected, he was happy and so was I. It was really happy when everyone was happy.
"Okay! You've almost flattered me! I'm about to ask you now, how did you investigate the assassination case of the Baiye Kingdom envoy? So far, you have found some clues."
Shao Xi secretly muttered in his heart: "Aren't you pretending to be confused because you understand? I'm afraid you know more than I do at the moment, but now you come to ask me, making it clear that there are some things you are not comfortable saying, and you want to get them from me. Say it, and use me as a gun to make you pretend to be innocent."
"Your Majesty, do you still remember the situation we mentioned before about the East Mu Kingdom colluding with the North and the South to cause chaos? According to Wei Chen's investigation, the identity of the Baiye Kingdom envoy is not that simple. It seems to be related to certain forces within our dynasty. colluded to create chaos in the west. It seems that some people are not willing to mess with only three parties, and want to form a siege on our Jingyuan Dynasty to achieve their own goals. And the one who assassinated the envoy of Baiye Kingdom was another force. But the purpose of the assassination was not to relieve our country from danger, but to cause internal fighting between the forces. As for where the two forces came from, it has not yet been found out."
Xiao Changyi frowned and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the armrests of the chair, as if he was sorting out his thoughts in his mind.
Regardless of whether he knows who these two forces belong to or where they come from, at least what these two forces are doing has touched his bottom line and touched his inverse scale.
"As far as I know, the assassin has also died. How do you plan to investigate next?"
"No checking."
"Don't check?"
Shao Xi's answer made Xiao Changyi feel very confused. Now he has been given the power to mobilize soldiers and horses in the city, just to let him free his hands to investigate the case. But now his answer is actually not to investigate. Could it be? Knowing that you are not capable, are you planning to give up?
"Yes, no investigation! Or to be precise, we can't investigate openly. Now I have been targeted by those two forces, and they have begun to plan for me in a targeted manner. Even if I investigate now, I can't find anything. Instead, I put myself out there, so I decided not to investigate, at least to make the other party think that I had stopped investigating."
"you mean?"
"Play hard to get, but use stillness to stop."
At this time, Xiao Changyi was interested in what Shao Xi said and couldn't help but ask: "Can you explain it in more detail?"
Shao Xi smiled mysteriously, "Now they feel that I seem to have found something, so they are spending all their energy on dealing with me, so I might as well just go along with their wishes and show weakness. When they feel that I no longer constitute a When threatened, they will turn their energy to each other. If I don't do anything, I will naturally make no mistakes. I have to wait for them to make mistakes."
Xiao Changyi listened to Shao Xi's analysis and nodded appreciatively. He also felt that this was indeed the truth. Instead of chasing after him, it would be better to pinch him. He didn't expect that Shao Xi would have such scheming and strategy at such a young age. It was indeed a bit unexpected. What he expected.
"Do you have any clues at the moment?"
"There is one, but this clue is not clear, so I don't plan to touch it for the time being, so as not to break it again, and save it for him to use when necessary. These forces have great plans, and they want nothing more than colluding with surrounding foreign countries. It’s the chair where His Majesty sits.”
Xiao Changyi raised his eyebrows imperceptibly and said: "There are many people in the world who want this chair. Whether they can take it or not depends on their ability. Since you have your own plan, let this matter continue to be left to you." If you come to investigate, I will draw up a hand edict for you. If you encounter any obstacles, no matter who it is, you can deal with it first without having to submit a petition for instructions."
When Shao Xi heard this, he wanted to give him another hand edict. His head felt heavy for a while. Now he was carrying a lot of things in a mess.
The official seal, the fish bag, the sign of the inspector's history, the sign of Yuci walking, the sign of Taihe Trading Company, Mei Ruoyan's order of favor, the hand edict of soldiers and horses in Kyoto, and now another hand edict is about to be issued. It seems that a special hand edict will be issued in the future. Just carry these things on your shoulder.
Xiao Changyi acted vigorously and immediately asked Eunuch Cao to go down and draw up a hand edict granting the emperor's orders. With this hand edict, he could act on behalf of the emperor, and he would do it first and then report it.
To put it bluntly, it is Shang Fang’s sword.
Shao Xi asked with some confusion: "Your Majesty, I already have the sign of the 'Respect and Respect Department' Supervisory History, don't I also have the right to kill first and report later as authorized by Your Majesty?"
Xiao Changyi patiently explained to Shao Xi: "Although your name of Supervision and Inspection History has my special power, the Supervision and Inspection History is under the jurisdiction of the 'Jingcheng Division' after all. Although the 'Jingcheng Division' is directly responsible to me, You are responsible, but you have to be responsible to the 'Jingcheng Division'. Now that you hold this edict, you are directly responsible to me personally, and even the 'Jingcheng Division' has no right to interfere with you."
Shao Xi grinned after hearing this. On the surface, it seems that having more power is a good thing, but in fact, it means that no one will take the blame for him in the future. If anything goes wrong, he will have to bear it himself. "Jingchengsi" anything.
Shao Xi muttered in his heart, "You're too cunning, old boy. If anything goes wrong in such a big case, you'd have to sell me out just to keep the 'Jingcheng Division', and you'd have to suffer a lot!"
