Chapter 505 506 [Tao Gao Yizhang]
"Sir, "Dream of Red Mansions" is an anti-book, it was appointed by the emperor." Du Xiaoyue wondered, "No joke, no regrets, how could you make the emperor change his mind?"
"There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "Actually, the emperor has never read "Dream of Red Mansions", and the reason why he designated it as a counter-book is entirely because of rumors and slanders by He Shen and Fu Kang'an.
The emperor did not pay close attention to it, but only listened to it and believed it, so he decided that "Dream of Red Mansions" was an anti-book, and ordered that anyone who hid, read, passed on, copied, engraved, printed, sold, and sold would be sent to prison!
In this case, I will let the emperor read this book in person. See if "Dream of Red Mansions" is an anti-book!
If it is really against the book, the emperor has committed the crime of [reading]. The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. When the time comes, let's see how he can justify himself. If it is not an anti-book, the emperor will rehabilitate "Dream of Red Mansions" and allow it to be published in the world. "
"Sir, you are so smart!" Du Xiaoyue clapped her hands and laughed after listening.
Such a rare thing, Xiang Nan can think of a way to solve it, it is really amazing!
"But sir, if you do this, you are teasing the emperor. Once the thunder is enraged, you will be in danger." Xiangyun has more experience than Xiaoyue, and knows that Xiang Nan's move is like pulling out a beard from a tiger's mouth, which is very dangerous.
"********,********." Xiang Nan said generously, "Ji Xiaolan's life and death are minor matters, "Dream of Red Mansions" is a world-class book. If it is destroyed or banned, it is not allowed to meet the world , is a great misfortune.”
"What a [********,********!]" Xiangyun exclaimed, "Mr. Xiangyun has a strong character, which Xiangyun admires!"
"Okay, don't chat, I will copy out "A Dream of Red Mansions" immediately, and hand it over to Eunuch Zhang and bring it to the emperor." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Madam, you can help me too."
"Okay." Xiang Yun nodded.
…
Immediately, the two came to the study.
Xiangyun grinding ink, Xiang Nan's handwriting.
"Mr. Ji's handwriting is really good." Xiang Yun praised.
Xiang Nan nodded with a smile.
Ji Xiaolan's calligraphy was learned by Zhao Mengfu and Dong Qichang. It is graceful, luxurious, vigorous and colorful, and it is indeed a good calligraphy. It's just that he presided over the compilation of "Siku Quanshu", and his achievements in the field of literature are higher, so his reputation in calligraphy is slightly inferior.
Like the poet Li Bai is famous for his poems, but in fact he is also quite good at calligraphy. "Shangyang Tie" has only twenty-five characters. It is vigorous, vigorous, elegant, unrestrained, vigorous and smooth. It is a first-class calligraphy work.
Xiang Nan writes the story, Xiangyun brings up the plot, the two cooperate tacitly, one day and two nights, burn the ointment and continue the sundial, forgetting to eat and sleep.
Du Xiaoyue could not help feeling a little pantothenic in her eyes.
"Sister Xiaoyue, neither the husband nor wife is willing to come out for dinner, should we bring the meal in?" Xing'er asked for advice.
Xiang Nan and Xiang Yun didn't even have breakfast and lunch to write their manuscripts. It was really hard work.
"What [Mr.] and [Madam], they sound like a couple!" Du Xiaoyue said irritably, "From now on, I'd better call her Xiangyun."
"Yes, Elder Sister Xiaoyue." Xing'er was clever, nodded with a smile, "Actually, elder sister doesn't need to be jealous. Xiangyun is married, she is married to her husband, she can't be with the master."
"You're the only kid who's smart!" Xiaoyue's mood suddenly brightened upon hearing this.
Xiang Nan and Xiangyun wrote for a day and two nights, writing a total of more than 30,000 characters, that is, the first five chapters of "Dream of Red Mansions", and then handed it over to Zhang Gonggong and sent it to Qilu.
In the next few days, Xiaoyue brought the manuscripts of "Dream of Red Mansions" from the palace back to the cottage one after another, and then Xiang Nan took them back to the Siku Pavilion.
Using this method of moving ants, I gradually hid the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions" in the Siku Pavilion.
During this period, He Shen and Fu Kang'an naturally did not give up. Especially Fukang'an, who was forced to pick up hawthorns for half a day that day, lost all face, and hated Xiang Nan even more, so he sent people to search many times.
There are always people who better than you! Xiang Nan also knew that they would not give up, so he was always on guard, fighting wits and courage with Fu Kang'an and He Shen.
Fu Kang'an tried several times, but never found any evidence of Xiang Nan's private collection of "Dream of Red Mansions".
Instead, Xiang Nan seized the opportunity and joined forces with Chaozhong Qingliu to write a letter to the emperor, impeaching Fukang'an for false public benefit, avenging private revenge, and wantonly humiliating courtiers with the opportunity of confiscating "Dream of Red Mansions". It is really arrogant and despicable.
Because Fukang'an searched Xiang Nan in public many times, but found no real evidence, the facts are all there, and public opinion is raging. So Qianlong couldn't protect him anymore, so he had to order a reprimand, so Fukang'an had to restrain himself a little.
…
"Hmph! Ji Xiaolan is so cunning that even the emperor was deceived by him." Fu Kang'an said very displeased after being reprimanded.
"My brother, don't be angry. I expected that the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions" is in Ji Xiaolan's hands." He Shen waved his hand and said, "The key now is how to find the book."
"It's the same as the adults." Fu Kang'an nodded, "Then have you thought of a way?"
"Where is that Xiangyun now?" He Shen asked suddenly.
"Now at Ji Xiaolan's home." Fukang'an replied, "Huh, she is a married woman, but she lives with Ji Xiaolan. It is really immoral and immoral. And my lord, should we join courtiers to make a report and impeach him?" A charge of abducting a married woman."
"Hey, you were reprimanded by the emperor just now, and if you impeach him now, you will be suspected of revenge." He Shen waved his hand and said, "Well, let Chen Weiyuan come forward to demand someone. He is Xiangyun's husband, and he is the husband of Xiangyun. Come out and learn from others.
If Ji Xiaolan refuses to let him go, when the time comes, he will be asked to file a complaint, and everyone will know about it and there will be an uproar. At that time, even if we don't deal with him, the emperor will know everything. "
"My lord is really smart, I'll do it right away." Fu Kang'an nodded and said.
…
Read Micro Cottage.
"So the manuscript of the last forty chapters was lost before?" Xiang Nan said with emotion.
He wanted to read the manuscripts of the last forty chapters of "A Dream of Red Mansions", but he didn't expect that those manuscripts had been lost long ago.
"Yes, when "Dream of Red Mansions" was not finished, my husband's friends came to borrow it. It was passed around, and many of them disappeared. Mr. wanted to make up for it, but who wanted to suddenly suffer from a serious illness and die." Xiangyun explained, "After the husband passed away, Mrs. Cao didn't know the value of the manuscript of "A Dream of Red Mansions", so she burned a part of it to honor the husband, so there is no manuscript for the last forty chapters."
"Oh, it's really a pity." Xiang Nan couldn't help but sighed, he didn't expect that he had come to the Qing Dynasty, and he still didn't have the chance to see the complete version of "Dream of Red Mansions". It's a pity.
"However, sir, although I don't know the original text of the last forty chapters of "A Dream of Red Mansions", Mr. Xueqin told me the story of the last forty chapters." Xiangyun said.
Xiang Nan was overjoyed when he heard that, "Okay, Ma'am, tell me quickly."
Xiang Yun was about to tell the story, when Lao Cai walked in, "Sir, there is a man named Chen Weiyuan looking for you outside the door."
Xiang Yun's face turned pale when he heard it.
