Chapter 362 Good Article

In the drizzling autumn rain, Hu Wenlang heard this and laughed in his heart, "Then I must have been a big bastard in the past."

The teasing intention of Mo Fei faded a little, and suddenly she was as sad as a mountain rain, "Yes, he is a big bastard, but he is also a great hero."

Hu Wenlang continued to look at the newspaper. He was not concerned about the article itself, but the place where Zhou Tieyi appeared, Mocheng.

He asked Concubine Mo in return, "You keep talking about my past life, what about you? Have you ever thought about finding your past life again? Following me like this is not a solution after all. He is in the Mountain Copper Mansion now, maybe he can help you."

Mo Fei smiled and said, "If I want to find my past life, why do I need others to help me? Since Wen Lang doesn't want his past life anymore, why don't we start over and throw that stinky skin to them and have some fun."

"Fun?"

Hu Wenlang pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then this must be very interesting."

In the Inspection Court, Mei Juncang glanced at Hu Wenlang who was reading a newspaper in the pavilion outside. He turned his head to look at the "Mozhe Newspaper" in front of him and read it. He pondered for a moment, took out a memorial, and began to write. After a while, he had finished writing a memorial.

"On the Evils of Newspapers".

August 15th is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the sweet osmanthus is fragrant.

When the sun sets and the moon's shadow can be seen on Yujing Mountain, ceremonial officials from the imperial palace will come out and invite Buddhist and Taoist monks to the palace to admire the moon.

This is a system left over from the time of Taizu.

Mid-Autumn Festival symbolizes family reunion, so at this time, even if the emperor is very fond of his ministers, he will usually let them stay at home and reunite with their families. There is no need for them to come to the palace to congratulate him.

On the contrary, monks and Taoists, who had become monks and practiced Buddhism in seclusion, were "lonely people" just like the emperor. Therefore, Taizu could not bear to see them spend the Mid-Autumn Festival alone, so on the 15th day of the eighth month, he would ask the famous monks and Taoists from Yujing Mountain to come to the palace for a banquet together.

The moon was at its zenith, and the banquet was in full swing. The Great Xia Emperor raised his cup and said to the monks and Taoists on both sides with a smile, "Do you two have any poems to sing about the moon together?"

The big monk on the right was about to stand up with a smile, but the Lord of Daming Palace on the left deliberately spoke first when the monk was half standing up, "What do you know about poetry, monk? I have an article that can sing the praises of the sun and the moon, and I would like to present it to His Majesty."

The attendants on both sides were slightly stunned.

Does this sound familiar?
Lord of the Daming Palace, could it be that you didn't write this article?

The Great Xia Emperor smiled and said, "An article about the sun and the moon..."

He laughed a long, ambiguous laugh and asked, "Did my beloved minister ask the palace master to present this to you from thousands of miles away?"

The Queen of Heaven next to His Majesty the Great Xia had a blank expression on her face.

Crown Prince Li Can, who was sitting below the Queen Mother, smiled, Fourth Prince Li Jing frowned slightly, and Seventh Prince Li Hao raised his glass to drink, shaking his head slightly.

If Zhou Tieyi really thought that he could win the Emperor of Daxia's "change of heart" again with his poetry, he was totally wrong.

"No, it was someone else who asked me to present it to you."

The Lord of Daming Palace replied.

His answer was so unexpected that even the Great Xia Emperor was slightly surprised. "Oh? Whose article is it?"

"The blue-robed scholar Ke Anran."

The Emperor of Great Xia signaled to the eunuch Su Xibi to present the article. After taking the article, the Emperor of Great Xia began to read it under the full moonlight.

Because it was a long policy paper, Ke Anran's ability in quoting classics was far superior to Zhou Tieyi's, and the content was also more sensitive, with many twists and turns.

When His Majesty the Great Xia finished reading, the Queen Mother could clearly sense a mixture of surprise and anger in his expression.

Even Zhou Tieyi had never had such a strange expression when he submitted a memorial.

The Great Xia Emperor should be surprised and angry. He did not expect that someone would be so bold as to mention the method of Shinto practice in front of him, the Great Xia Emperor, but he also did not expect that the other party would actually suggest that he practice Shinto.

He is the Taoist master in heaven and the emperor on earth.

When the people chant the name of Tao Zun, they are actually chanting the Holy Emperor.

Connecting the three talents of Confucianism, Taoism and God, "Asking the Three Talents of Heaven, Sages and People for a Plan of Response"!
This is indeed an article about the sun and the moon...

The Emperor of Daxia looked conflicted. Should he kill all nine clans of Ke Anran, or should he reward him greatly?
For a while, the Emperor of Great Xia could not make up his mind, or it could be said that the current political situation was not yet at the right time for him to promote the "Plan for the Three Talents of Heaven, Saints and People to Resonate with Each Other", and his practice was not yet at that time.

"Taoism..."

The Great Xia Emperor sighed silently in his heart, then he closed the article and said softly, "Good article."

After that, His Majesty the Great Xia said nothing more.

This strange behavior immediately made the people around the banquet feel even more puzzled. If it was a good article, why didn't the Emperor of Daxia allow anyone to read it out? Not only did he not allow anyone to read it out, he didn't even give a clear reward.

So what’s good about this article?

Many people looked at the Lord of Daming Palace. Perhaps there were only three people in the world who knew what was so good about this article.

Ke Anran, Lord of Daming Palace, Emperor of Daxia.

This is even more interesting. For such a good article, everyone wants to know what is written in it.

However, after His Majesty Daxia closed the article, he seemed to deliberately ignore the matter. He looked at the dancers below, and the musician smiled and said, "Play the music, and dance."

······
After the autumn rain, Yujing Mountain was as clear as a mirror. The cool morning breeze accompanied by the newsboys' cries could be heard from far away. If the officials had an early court session, they would habitually buy a few newspapers and read them either on the way to the court or as soon as the meeting ended.

But today's morning court session will be exceptionally lively.

As soon as a Mohist carriage stopped, the Minister of Works, Mo Qu, with red eyes, rushed towards the officials waiting to attend the court like an enraged bull.

"Chief Jia Yuan!"

Mo Qu shouted angrily and stretched out his hand, ready to grab Jia Yuanchang's collar. He knew the severity of the situation, so he did not use his spiritual practice, but fought like an ordinary person.

The fourth rank of Mohist 'Renxia' can use the power of the strong to help the weak, and naturally can also make his own body have the same terrifying power as his own mechanical creations.

Jia Yuanchang was not afraid at all, nor did he fight back, he just sneered.

Since he dared to write that article, he should not be afraid of being beaten to death here. If he was beaten to death, it would only show that Mo Jia and Zhou Tieyi were guilty!

"quiet!"

Zhou Tiege was quick-witted and quick-handed. As the deputy commander-in-chief of the Yulin Army, he had the duty of supervising the etiquette of officials attending court. He stretched out his hand, clenched his fist, and opened the ink channel like a spear to grab Jia Yuanchang's palm.

The two forces made a sound like huge objects colliding on the white jade square. Zhou Tiege glanced at the complacent Jia Yuanchang and said to Mo Qu earnestly, "Minister Mo, why did you lose your manners in front of the emperor?"

Mo Qu calmed down his anger, "This person is cunning and deceitful, deceiving the emperor, I was impulsive."

Zhou Tiege naturally knew how damaging the article in the Awakening Times today was when combined with his brother's On Wealth. He could not see how the situation would change for the time being, so he could only wait and see. He said expressionlessly, "I will report the indiscretion in front of the emperor to His Majesty. As for what you said about Master Jia deceiving the emperor, we will discuss it at the court meeting."

The officials all had different expressions as they saw the situation changing.

They were either happy or worried, knowing that today's court meeting would bring a new storm.
