At this time, Eunuch Sun came in and said, "Your Majesty, King Leyun is here."
The emperor nodded and glanced at Tang Chen and then said: "King Leyun must be here to find Tang Chen. Go out and tell him that I won't do anything to Tang Chen, and I will reward him and let him go to the garden."
Look at the Queen Mother, she misses him."
"yes!"
After Eunuch Sun went out, the emperor stretched himself and said, "This trip is really thrilling."
At this time Eunuch Sun ran in again and said: "Your Majesty, the prince is here!"
"Prince?" The emperor smiled: "Let him come in!"
The prince walked in wearing a python robe, took a look at Tang Chen, and then knelt on the ground: "My son, please see your father!"
"Get up and tell me what you have to say!"
The prince said: "My son heard that my sister was back, so I came here to have a look."
"Your sister is resting in the room right now. You can just go directly."
The prince seemed a little embarrassed and looked at Tang Chen and said: "I also want to know the process of Mr. Tang rescuing his sister. I heard that the ancient tomb is extremely dangerous, and I really want to hear about it."
Tang Chen stood up and was about to say something, but the emperor said: "Tang Chen told me just now. You have to listen to it later. Now that you are here, please sit down first."
The prince lowered his head and sat aside. The emperor continued to drink and looked at Tang Chen and asked, "Tang Chen, you haven't said yet what reward you want."
Tang Chen said: "I dare not say anything about rewards. Recently, everyone is looking for the princess. The culture of the capital has been in ruins for a long time. I still ask the emperor to restart the academy theater in the city."
"This is what it should be." The emperor said, "I heard that you, Tang Chen, recently wrote an ancient book called Water Margin?"
Tang Chen quickly explained: "I didn't write this book, I just retell it. The person who wrote the book..."
The emperor waved his hand and interrupted Tang Chen's words: "I have heard what you said, but I have also looked for this ancient strange man and can't find it. My country is short of literary great scholars like you, and you will have more in the future.
Some high-quality products to add to the cultural life of my country!"
Tang Chen nodded: "I will definitely try my best."
"Your Majesty, I am requesting an audience with you!"
"Well, come in!"
This time, Zhongshu Ling could be said to have come in forcefully. He just glanced at Tang Chen and walked directly to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, you are here to arrest Tang Chen and bring him to justice."
Tang Chen frowned, and the emperor asked: "What did Tang Chen commit?"
Zhongshu Ling said: "Tang Chen published a book called Water Margin, but the Water Margin contains all the corruption of the imperial court and satirizes our dynasty. If this continues, it will definitely cause turmoil."
"Really?" the emperor said: "I have also read some of this book. Most of the books are about the government forcing the people to rebel against us. How can the crisis come from the peace in the country?"
"I'm afraid that someone is causing trouble!" Zhongshu Ling could be said to have pointed his finger at Tang Chen. Tang Chen said, "How did Zhongshu Ling see that someone was causing trouble?"
Zhongshu Ling took out a book and threw it at Tang Chen and said: "This is the bookstore you opened with King Leyun. The introduction says that in the end, the government forced the people to rebel and 108 heroes fought against the imperial court. How dare you say that!"
The emperor frowned and looked at Tang Chen: "Tang Chen, is this really happening?"
Tang Chen took the book and saw that these words were indeed printed on the cover. He was obviously just talking to Li Yunfei, but he didn't expect that this kid actually printed it on it. Tang Chen quickly explained: "Your Majesty, I can explain this."
"Explain? What's your explanation?"
Tang Chen said: "It is indeed written like this in the book, but in the end, Song Jiang still cared about the court, and was recruited by the emperor at the time, and later worked for the court."
"I'm afraid you didn't change it temporarily because I came to arrest you today. It's not written in your book!"
At this time, the prince stood up and said: "My father, the emperor, and my ministers believe that Tang Chen would never do such a treasonous thing. His sacrifice of his own life and entering the ancient tomb to save the princess is enough to show his determination. Besides, I heard that this book is from Li
I’m afraid it’s not Tang Chen who has the idea to do what Li Yunfei, the son of General Li, King of Leyun did. Now that General Li has a heavy army, his ministers think..."
"Okay, stop talking!" the emperor said, "Tang Chen, I am really looking forward to how you will write the next book."
Tang Chen shook his head and said: "Common people don't dare to write anymore!"
"Why not?"
"I am afraid that someone will use this to label me, so I am willing to give up this book and stop writing it."
"No!" the prince said: "Now our people are pursuing this book. Mr. Tang must not stop writing because of this matter. Zhongshu Ling must have seen these things written by Li Yunfei..."
Tang Chen smiled and said: "Your Highness, that is indeed what I told Li Yunfei, and Li Yunfei is a friend of the grassroots and he has never had any thoughts. Please rest assured, Zhongshu Ling, please rest assured, the prince, and please rest assured, the emperor!"
At this time Eunuch Sun came in again and said: "Your Majesty, General Li is here."
"Let him in."
After Li Yong came in, he saluted the emperor and then looked at Zhongshu Ling and said: "Zhongshu Ling is also here. It seems that it is a coincidence that the old minister came, but what does it mean that Zhongshu Ling has brought so many soldiers outside?"
The emperor looked at Zhongshu Ling and said, "Chi Dao, how dare you bring troops here!"
Chi Dao immediately knelt down and said, "I didn't lead any troops. These are all my servants. I just heard that Tang Chen's spiritual power is really strong and I'm afraid that ordinary people can't deal with him, so I can only lead people there!"
Li Yong laughed and said: "It is a basic law that ministers cannot lead troops into the court. Zhongshu Ling is violating the law knowingly!"
"Why is General Li here?"
Li Yong said: "I recently got a spiritual object. I really couldn't wait for the emperor's birthday, so I sent it here today."
"Yeah?"
Li Yong took out a crystal clear bird from his sleeve. After it came out, it fluttered its wings and flew towards the emperor, landing on the table. It was the first time that the emperor saw these novel things and teased him with his hands.
Said: "This thing is indeed novel, but what other abilities does it have?"
As soon as Li Yong whistled, the bird flew back. Li Yong looked at Tang Chen and said, "I've heard that Tang Chen has great spiritual power. Let's try it on this bird!"
Tang Chen was stunned for a moment: "General Li, do you want me to hit it?"
"Yes, hit with all your strength!"
Tang Chen was also curious, but seeing Li Yong's expression quite confident, he used his own strength and punched him. As a result, the bird was immediately smashed into pieces, and it fell down like crystal clear powder. The emperor smiled and said: "
I didn’t expect that this is what I am capable of!”
Li Yong smiled and said: "There's more to it than that."
As Li Yong whistled again, the powder that the bird turned into flew up and formed a small bird in the air. It began to circle around Li Yong. The emperor smiled with joy and said: "This thing is really magical!"
