Chapter 1558: Court Discussion

Even Fang Jifan himself was scared by this million sales.

Immediately afterwards, he couldn't help but be moved by it.

The people are very proud of their face.

So, Wang Jinyuan ran to various printing workshops with tears in his eyes.

Obviously, the previously authorized payment fee was unreasonable, and they had to increase the money.

And this sales are still increasing.

People are as if they are possessed by demons.

Another like a contagious plague, one village after another was infected.

Even... there is no need for booksellers to promote it. It only depends on word of mouth. This book...just appear in a market or village, and you will never have to worry about sales.

Xiao Jing was in the East Factory... He was invited out of the palace by the East Factory people.

At this moment, he put his hand on the desk and listened to a report from the Dongchang.

Immediately, Xiao Jing first had a calm face, then became unstable, and then... took a breath of cold air.

"A book like this... is actually crazy?" Xiao Jing felt incredible. Looking at the movie, he couldn't help but say, "Is this Duke of Qi forced to buy and sell?"

Yes, that must be the case.

This guy Fang Jifan did such a thing.

But this time, he said: "The lowly people were suspicious at first, so they sent people to the countryside, but found that... they were all bought by the people spontaneously, and they were all very enthusiastic, just like robbing."

"What?" Xiao Jing began to suspect that the people of the Ming Dynasty were not good at this time, but at this moment... he was full of doubts, but then he said seriously: "You must not talk to Your Majesty about this matter, don't mention a word or a word."

He gently tapped the desk with his fingers and said lightly: "Your Majesty is already anxious about this matter. He is afraid that this book will be sold too much. Your Majesty is not in good health. Never let him know about this. You go down."

"yes."

Xiao Jing sighed in his heart. When he stood up, his body trembled a little. He already knew... he was old too.

If a slave starts to feel unbearable, it is really a worrying thing.

However, at this time, Emperor Hongzhi summoned all the ministers to discuss matters, and the eunuchs on duty gave seats to Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Zhang Sheng, Ma Wensheng and Ouyang Zhiren according to His Majesty's words.

After only a few words, Zhang Sheng suddenly said, "Your Majesty, something strange happened in the capital recently."

Zhang Sheng calmed down and continued with a smile: "I heard... the Duke of Qi has compiled a book."

Emperor Hongzhi's face suddenly sank, and he had almost forgotten the book.

Who knew that Zhang Sheng had brought up the old story again at this time.

Zhang Sheng said again: "I have read this book, but after reading it, I was confused and thought... this book is actually ordinary. But I learned that this book actually caused a hot sale. A few days ago, it sold as many as one million."

million……

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt mixed feelings.

He had never heard of this book selling millions. You know, there were no millions of scholars in the Ming Dynasty.

What's more...that book...

Zhang Sheng sighed and said, "Not only that, this book is still selling hot everywhere now. I heard... Duke of Qi actually went to the countryside of Yongping Prefecture to sign for sale."

Signing for sale...what is this?

Although Emperor Hongzhi did not understand, he seemed to feel something bad happened.

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Sheng glanced at Emperor Hongzhi, then looked at the dukes sitting with him, and said, "The old minister has lost his head, but he can't understand it. The dynasty takes it as his mission to educate the people, but why has it been so many years of education, it is always difficult to achieve results. A book by Duke Qi can sell millions, and it is very likely that it will sell millions in the future..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Sheng felt heartbroken...

Millions...

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but be moved.

To be honest... he really couldn't see the slightest highlight of this book, but Fang Jifan could always turn decay into magic. What's the reason?

Why do the people in this world like other Fang Jifan?

It's so strange.

After thinking about it, Emperor Hongzhi didn't understand it. He looked up and looked at Ouyang Zhi: "What do you mean by Ouyang Qing's family?"

Ouyang Zhi was Fang Jifan's eldest disciple, maybe... he knew one or two.

Ouyang Zhi was silent for a moment, stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty, I don't know, but my teacher has always been unpredictable. There must be a reason for this."

Emperor Hongzhi said directly, "Then call Fang Qing's family to ask."

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Sheng reminded in time: "Duke Qi went to Yongping Prefecture to sign and sell it. The old minister meant... Duke Qi could sell a book to millions or even millions. Why... the serious saint's learning cannot do this? I am the Minister of Rites, which is related to education, and I have to observe it."

The implication of this is that if Fang Jifan could sell so many books of saints, then... wouldn't this education work be twice the result with half the effort?

But Fang Jifan just sold such strange books, which really ruined his ability to sell books.

Emperor Hongzhi's mouth twitched, and only then did he realize that Zhang Sheng's words were a little sour.

Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a moment and said, "I have read this book several times, but I really can't see any difference. I'd better call Fang Qing's house back to Beijing quickly. I really want to know what the reason is."

After Emperor Hongzhi said that, he winked at the eunuchs beside him.

The eunuch understood and hurriedly went to pass the decree.

At this time, the ministers couldn't help but wink at each other, some were confused and some were heartbroken. After all,... they also sincerely felt that Fang Jifan's ability was used in the wrong place.

Xie Qian said at this time: "Your Majesty... I have heard that many people are secretly mocking the "Song of Ming", and even more, saying that the Duke of Qi is ignorant, and this time he has revealed his strength."

Emperor Hongzhi said nothing but said nothing.

The ministers were dismissed. When Xiao Jing returned to serve, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly shouted: "Parent Xiao."

"I'm here."

"What's the news about that Mingsong now?"

Xiao Jing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is no news. If there is any news, I will..."

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes opened and he suddenly slapped the table: "Stop talking! Do you want to deceive the emperor?"

Xiao Jing was so scared that his legs were weak. He knelt down and kowtowed and said, "I have died. I have heard of some hot news about this book. Not only that... It is because of the hotness that has attracted many people's ridicule. Most of them were already angry with Duke Qi. Now they have finally caught the pain. They are all kinds of sarcastic. Even in this temple, there are still many such people. Some people even said... I thought Duke Qi had some skills, but after reading this book, I realized that Duke Qi was best at raising pigs!"

Raising pigs...

But these words... suddenly made Emperor Hongzhi furious, so angry that his whole body was full of fire, because... he knew too well that some ministers would never reveal a word of dirty words if they wanted to curse others, but these cursed words were enough to be heartbroken.

Isn’t this pig raising just vermilion?

Such a pun is the most vicious.

Emperor Hongzhi trembled and was surprisingly not angry. He stared at Xiao Jing and asked in a deep voice: "Who are the people who say these words?"

Xiao Jing replied honestly this time: "This...this...this...there are many Hanlin officials and censors. They usually dare not show up, but behind their backs...not only that, I heard that the news also went to Nanjing, and the six ministries in Nanjing were even more unstoppable."

Emperor Hongzhi had no expression on his face, but suddenly his eyes raised slightly and said, "Is this what the ministers should say? But speaking of this... This is why he gave him a handle if he was not successful in succession! Call him back quickly. There are some people, please list a list. Those who are in Beijing, record it. Those who are not in Beijing will be summoned to the capital together. Remember... to rush it up."

It is not good to be successful, but to be honest, because Fang Jifan spent too much effort on raising pigs in the Mingsong.

But this sentence... is really heartbreaking.

Xiao Jing naturally understood that Emperor Hongzhi was in a bad mood at this time and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the reason why I hide it from Your Majesty is that I am afraid that you will be angry if you listen. Your Majesty is old, and when I comb your hair for you, I saw that Your Majesty's hair became thinner and whiter, and I was worried about Your Majesty..."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand, his face calmed down a little, and said, "Covering the lid does not mean that these things have not happened. I have never seen anything. Where can I do my own faults?"

Xiao Jing quickly kowtowed: "I obey the order."

…………

Fang Jifan was recalled from Yongping Mansion.

To be honest, he was very happy when he signed a sale in Yongping Mansion. Looking at the respectful gaze of others, it is very easy for people to feel like I am a saint.

His Majesty suddenly summoned him, and Fang Jifan certainly knew...why His Majesty was for.

He did not dare to neglect it. When he entered Beijing, he first asked someone to go to Tongzhengsi to respond to the law. Soon, a eunuch came to read the order and ordered Fang Jifan to rest for a day and enter the palace to discuss the next day.

Fang Jifan heard that it was a court discussion, but he muttered in his heart.

So he got up early the next morning and hurried to the Daming Palace. Emperor Hongzhi promoted his seat in Fengtian Hall, and all the ministers were there, so even the prince came.

Today's scene is particularly grand.

Even in Nanjing, some ministers were summoned to summon some ministers.

These six officials from Nanjing don’t know what happened, but thinking that His Majesty suddenly called him, there must be something big, and he was actually expecting it.

Which officials from six Nanjing officials do not want to enter the capital, maybe their luck will come.

Because they used the fast horses that were urgently delivered to the shops and there were official roads along the way, some people even arrived faster than Yongping Mansion where Jifan was.

Fang Jifan stood among the crowd, but saw Emperor Hongzhi glanced around and said, "You guys... there is no need to have too many false rituals today. I have heard some strange words these days, and I have expressed my feelings in front of the ministers, and I have a few words to say."

……………………

When the child entered school, he prepared the materials back and forth, but... some unexpected situations still occurred. He had to go to school early tomorrow morning, which was related to the child. He was extremely anxious and probably couldn't sleep tonight. Therefore, he would stay up late to write tonight, but it would be relatively late. If he wanted to go to bed early, he would read it tomorrow morning.
