Chapter 510 511 [dilemma]
Fu Kang'an immediately led troops to Jifu to catch Xiangyun.
"Open the door, open the door!" The officers and soldiers stepped forward to smash the doorway, but no one came to open the door after smashing several times.
"Listen, people inside, if you don't open the door, this general is about to attack!" Seeing this, Fu Kang'an couldn't help shouting.
Hearing what he said, the officers and soldiers smashed the door even harder.
Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang, the gate of Ji Mansion was crumbling by them.
At this moment, suddenly the door opened, and a person walked out walking like a tiger.
Fu Kang'an was taken aback when he saw it, and immediately took the lead and knelt down, "Fu Kang'an sees the emperor!"
Hearing what he said, all the officers and soldiers quickly fell to their knees.
"Fu Kang'an, what a coincidence that you came here. You came here just after I arrived at the thatched cottage." Qianlong laughed, "Why, why did you bring so many soldiers here?"
"The **** came late, please forgive me!" Fu Kang'an explained quickly.
Qianlong smiled, "Okay, come in."
"Hey!" Fu Kang'an hurriedly followed into Ji's mansion.
…
In the courtyard, Xiang Nan was playing the zither.
Du Xiaoyue is singing "Void Ning Mei".
The tune played by Xiang Nan is exactly the tune of the 1987 edition of "Dream of Red Mansions".
And Du Xiaoyue is the most popular actor in Yunzhou. He has played since elementary school, and his figure and singing voice are also top-notch.
Under her interpretation, the song "Wang Ning Mei" is even more lingering and touching.
Empress Dowager Ling blushed unconsciously.
"Okay, Xiaoyue's "Vanning Eyebrows" is well sung, and Mr. Ji's score is also good." After listening to it, the queen mother praised it sincerely.
"Queen, it's better to write well." Du Xiaoyue reminded.
"Well, this word is sad and touching, and it is soul-stirring. Mr. Ji deserves to be the number one genius in the Qing Dynasty." The Queen Mother praised with a smile.
"Well, the lyrics are good, the music is good, and the singing is good." Qianlong also praised, "Mr. Ji's book is mainly good."
"Your Majesty, do you really think "The Story of the Stone" is a good book?" Xiang Nan got up and laughed.
"Of course." Qianlong nodded, "Although I haven't read as many books as you, this "Story of the Stone" can be called the number one novel in ancient and modern times in my opinion."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment! But, Your Majesty, someone must have framed this book as an anti-book." Xiang Nan said.
"Oh, who is it?" Qianlong asked displeased.
"Ask Lord Fukang Anfu why he brought so many soldiers to my thatched cottage?" Xiang Nan looked at Fukang Anfu and said.
"Fukang'an, what's going on?" Qianlong looked at Fukang'an and asked.
"The emperor Rong Bing, Ji Xiaolan not only kept the anti-book "Dream of Red Mansions" privately, but also took in Xiangyun, the dying maid of Cao Xueqin, the author of "Dream of Red Mansions".
"Ji Xiaolan, is that really the case?" Qianlong looked at Xiang Nandao again.
"My Majesty, I did hide "Dream of Red Mansions", but I only collected "Dream of Red Mansions" for one person." Xiang Nan explained.
"For whom?" Qianlong frowned and asked.
"For the Empress Dowager." Xiang Nan looked at the Empress Dowager and said, "The Empress Dowager wants to read "Dream of Red Mansions", so I have to find ways to collect the whole book. So I am not only innocent, but have merit."
"To the Empress Dowager, "The Story of the Stone" is "A Dream of Red Mansions." Xiang Nan explained, "Ji Xiaolan deserved death for deceiving the emperor and the queen mother. "The Story of the Stone" was actually written by Cao Xueqin.
The emperor has a decree, and anyone who circulates "Dream of Red Mansions" is guilty. The minister committed the crime of [biography], and the emperor and queen mother committed the crime of [reading]. Ji Xiaolan framed the emperor and the empress dowager, she deserves death! "
"Hmph! Fukang'an, arrest him." Qianlong was furious when he heard this.
Xiang Nan dared to dig a hole for him and deceive him into reading the wrong book, so that he is now in a dilemma, and he should be punished heavily!
Fu Kang'an smiled triumphantly, and then ordered someone to come forward and arrest Xiang Nan.
"Queen Mother, do you think "Story of the Stone" is an anti-book?" Du Xiaoyue begged the Queen Mother immediately when she saw it.
""The Story of the Stone" is certainly not a counter-book." The Queen Mother nodded.
She understands righteousness deeply and knows that "Dream of Red Mansions" was wronged and the emperor was deceived by others, so she naturally doesn't want him to make the same mistakes again and again.
"That's right, I also heard from the emperor just now that the words are good, the music is good, and the book is better." Du Xiaoyue said again.
When Qianlong heard this, embarrassment appeared on his face.
"The book that the emperor also likes is certainly not a counter-book." The queen mother laughed, "Since "The Story of the Stone" is not a counter-book, then "A Dream of Red Mansions" is naturally not either."
"The queen mother is wise." Xiaoyue said happily.
"Emperor Niang~" Qianlong's expression became even more embarrassing.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have three crimes. The first crime is to pass off Cao Xueqin's book as a minister's book; the second crime is to conceal the fact that one book has two names; In a difficult situation. Minister Ji Xiaolan, I implore the emperor to forgive me."
He knew that Qianlong was very embarrassed now.
Before, he listened and believed, and misjudged "A Dream of Red Mansions" as an anti-book, so that countless booksellers and collectors were arrested and sunk in the bottom of the sea.
Now Xiang Nan set up again, watched "Dream of Red Mansions", committed the crime of "reading", so that he was caught in a dilemma.
If he insisted on convicting Xiang Nan of the crime of private possession of books, then he also committed the crime of flipping books. The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. At that time, in order to maintain the dignity of the Qing law, he will have to be punished. It will be a joke.
But if Xiang Nan is just let go like this, he is really not reconciled.
So Xiang Nan specially pleaded guilty to him, which can be regarded as giving him a step down.
"Hmph, detain him!" Qianlong snorted coldly, and then said.
"Queen Dowager~" Du Xiaoyue became even more flustered when she saw her.
"Well, I don't want to ask too much about the matter of the previous dynasty." The queen mother waved her hand.
She also knew that the emperor was thin-skinned. She must have been angry with Xiang Nan for such a scheme, and it would be impossible to prevent him from letting it out. So even if she knew that Xiang Nan was wronged, she could no longer help her speak.
Du Xiaoyue saw that the queen mother had stopped talking, so she ran to the emperor anxiously, "Your majesty~"
"Xiaoyue, don't ask any more. I committed a crime and should be punished." Xiang Nan persuaded, "Take care of your house and don't forget to water those orchids.
Master Fu, let's go. "
After speaking, he left the thatched cottage.
Seeing this, Xiaoyue couldn't help but shed tears.
…
"Hey, Mr. Ji is gone, who can I ask to read "Story of the Stone"?" The queen mother sighed.
Qianlong frowned when he heard this.
"Queen Mother, sir, I know you like "The Story of the Stone", so I specially ordered people to send all the manuscripts of "The Story of the Stone" to the palace." Du Xiaoyue explained quickly after hearing this.
"Oh, good, good, then we will go back to the palace immediately." The queen mother said happily when she heard this.
Fu Kang'an's face darkened when he heard it.
