In the quiet bedroom, Song Tuizhi spread out the paper. Different from the previous random copying of Chen Luo's manuscripts, this time he picked up the brush and wrote on the paper carefully, stroke by stroke, seriously.
"Learn from my mentor."
"It has been three days since the disciple was ordered to look after the people who opened the fourth road to heaven. This son, whose surname is Chen and whose name is Luo, is from Qingzhou and is nineteen years old. He met his disciple Wei Tianyi at Wenxin's ceremony to choose his master. He is quite affectionate. Tian Yiyan said that this son has a pure nature and is well-spoken, but it is a pity that he was not born with the talent of reading."
"The disciple did not reveal his identity and secretly observed his words and deeds. When Chen Luo first entered the capital, he was targeted by Qi Kexiu's grandson. The disciple sent a message to the Taoist sect and took Yu on his behalf."
"The grandson of Hou Ju Qi said that Chen Luoyin's "Zhong Kui's Brief Biography" has spread all over the world. In the future, he can earn tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of silver every month, and in the later period, it will be like a long-lasting water with no worries of drying up. Therefore, it is I became greedy and wanted to use Chen Luochu to come to the capital and seize it."
"Teacher, please don't be angry. This disciple has already fought with Qi Kexiu. He broke two of the old man's ribs and lost a third of his talent. He is responsible for disciplining his grandson."
"The above are all minor matters, but there are only two things I want to report to the teacher."
"First, my disciple observed that Chen Luo has the intention to organize a new newspaper. There is a Nansheng in the capital, named Nanyuan Xi, and he is Mr. Shuowen of Beifeng Tower. Today Chen Luo met Nan Yuanxi and said that he wanted to organize a new newspaper. , invited Nanyuan Xi to discuss the matter together. After hearing what he said, it seemed that Mr. Shuowen was being unified, the best one was selected, and the words of Shuowen were published in the new newspaper. "
"Chen Luoyan wants to create a new newspaper for Li Shu so that the people can afford it, like to read it, and have value. I hope this will shock my disciples."
"Secondly, Chen Luo has tentatively divided the content of the new newspaper into two parts, one is an essay, and the other is a story. This evening, Chen Luo wrote an article of 10,000 words at home, titled "Du Shiniang sank a treasure chest in anger", in order to Let Nanyuan Xi tell everyone when he wakes up."
"The article, the events, the people and their emotions all made the disciple's eyes light up. When the disciple read this article, he felt a colorful energy in his chest. At first, it was only the size of a soybean. After reading it again and again, it has grown to the size of a finger, and with me It is quite similar to cultivating Haoran's righteousness when reading classics. This should be the fourth kind of Qi that leads to heaven."
"The disciple tried to combine the Seven Color Qi with the Haoran Zheng Qi, and it was successful. However, after repeated attempts, he found that it had no effect, so he gave up. Presumably, the Seven Color Qi needs to be combined with the cultivation method of the Fourth Heavenly Path to be effective."
"Speaking of this, the disciple thought that when Qi Kexiu's grandson made trouble for Chen Luo, he sent a blood refining realm demon servant to capture Chen Luo, but was knocked back by Chen Luo's punch. The disciple looked at Chen Luo's body, spirit and flesh Cohesion is the gift of music to the world, and it also has the effect of refining the body, which is quite similar to the Buddhist Vajra method. I don’t know what the Buddhists will do after knowing it, so please pay attention to it, teacher."
"There may be disputes in the court tomorrow about the affairs of the great scholar's heart. The disciples will pass on the teacher's decree and accept Chen Luo into the Bamboo Forest lineage."
"There is only one thing that I can't understand, so I asked the teacher to explain it. Since ancient times, there have been laws in the way of heaven, and it is difficult to write down false things in elegant prose. However, both "The Brief Biography of Zhong Kui" and "Du Shiniang" are all fictitious. Why can it exist in the world?"
"Attached is the full text of "Du Shiniang Sinks the Treasure Box in Anger", please take a look at it, teacher."
"Disciple retreat, bow your head and bow again."
…
The east had just turned fishy, and a carriage was driving on Zhuque Street. The driver was an old servant. He had a cigarette in his mouth and said to the car with a smile: "Uncle, if you haven't woken up yet, you can have some rest in the car. I'll call you when we get to the imperial city." .”
A thank you came from the carriage, and it was naturally Chen Luo.
Calculating the time, it was probably around six in the morning. Chen Luo yawned and obviously didn't wake up much.
"Senior Wei is really serious. I plan to ask him for advice on the way." Chen Luo complained. Today, Wei Yan sent an old servant to the Earl's Mansion to knock on the door, but Wei Yan himself was not seen. When he asked the old servant, the other party It is only said that Wei Daru went to court alone on foot.
"Sir, what do you want to know?" In the carriage, Ji Zhong was also walking beside him.
"The layout of the court, who is the eldest brother, who is the younger brother, and whose dock you should worship when entering the court, must be clear. I originally planned to ask on the way to court." Chen Luo shrugged.
Ji Zhong said proudly: "Then I know! The imperial court issues the "Official Records" every year, and I have also dabbled in it."
"Oh?" Chen Luo was overjoyed and quickly urged, "Hurry up and tell me."
"Well, it's too long to talk about the officials one by one. Let me briefly talk to you about the structure of the court."
"Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has restored the system of four prime ministers at the beginning of the dynasty to oversee the affairs of the world."
"The head of the Wenchang Pavilion is named Wen Xiang. He is in charge of the world's cultural affairs. All academies and literary schools in the world are under the jurisdiction of Wen Xiang."
"The head of the main hall is named the Prime Minister and is in charge of the government affairs of the court. It consists of five departments: officials, etiquette, workers, households, and guards."
"The head of Wuwei Mansion is responsible for the military affairs of the world. The front line between the north and the barbarians is dominated by Wuwei Mansion."
"The head of the bias office, named Faxiang, is in charge of the world's criminal laws, review and supervision."
"Besides the Four Phases, there is another division called Zhenxuan Division."
"Secretary Zhenxuan monitors internal affairs, infiltrates external affairs, and is in charge of the world's intelligence information."
"This is the basic structure of the Daxuan Dynasty Hall."
"Young Master, you are following the path of the Prime Minister, so you naturally belong to the line of Wen Xiang. The Marquis Quli who had conflicts with the Young Master before is the grandson of Qi Kexiu, the great scholar. Qi Kexiu is the deputy of the Prime Minister. Young Master needs to pay attention to . The Prime Minister is famous for his uprightness and does not judge matters based on his preferences, so you don’t need to care. As for the Military Prime Minister, he rarely participates in government affairs discussions. Most of the time in the court, he is just a do-it-yourselfer."
Chen Luo nodded slightly, and after hearing what Ji Zhong said, his mind became clearer. It stands to reason that this time he went to court to accept the formal knighthood and express his gratitude. This was the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, that is, the subordinates of the Prime Minister.
Hope nothing goes wrong.

The carriage drove through Baizhanmen, crossed Jinyufang, and then climbed onto Jinshui Bridge. A towering palace wall appeared in front of them. The old servant driving the carriage knocked on the carriage frame: "Uncle, we have arrived at the Imperial City."
The curtains of the car were opened, and Chen Luo and Ji Zhong got out of the car. Ji Zhong cupped his hands and said, "Sir, I'll wait for you outside."
Chen Luo nodded, touched the palace entry token that Wei Yan asked his old servant to bring to him, and walked towards the gate of the imperial city...
…
At the same time, Nan Yuanxi walked out of Xiao Hexiang's yard and walked quickly towards Beifeng Tower. He hadn't slept all night since watching "Du Shiniang" last night. Perhaps because of Xiao Hexiang's identity, he hated Li Jia and Sun Fu in the article deeply. Although he knew that this matter was fictional, there was still a sense of resentment in his body. He didn't know what effect this article would have, but he knew that the article he carried in his arms was ten times a hundred times better than "A Brief Biography of Zhong Kui".
He couldn't wait to share it with others and discuss it with others.
I woke up early today. I don’t want to read the newspaper anymore. I want to finish all this wonderful article of ten thousand words.
Nan Yuanxi kept walking, but he didn't notice at all that the awe-inspiring righteousness in his body that had been stagnant for nearly ten years had become vigorous...
