Chapter 307 Ji Ran's name, passed on to the world (7)
The next day, in the morning court, Yang Tianhao continued to discuss the issue of books at Ji Ran Bookstore and directly impeached Tang Ji, a doctor in the household department. Unexpectedly, Emperor Ning only verbally warned Tang Ji to keep his eyes open when publishing and selling books in the future.
, don’t get involved in issues related to education, otherwise you will be severely punished.
This shocked the officials, and some stubborn veterans once again stood up to support Yang Tianhao. Unexpectedly, the right prime minister Dong Sheng also stood up to speak for Tang Ji.
In the end, the matter had to be left alone.
After the morning meeting, Li Yu touched Tang Ji's shoulder: "Okay, when did you hook up with Prime Minister Dong?"
Tang Ji shook his head helplessly. He and Prime Minister Dong estimated that they had met just two months ago when the other party came to the Ministry of Household Affairs to find Song Kui. As for hooking up, this was completely untrue. The other party could stand up for him.
The speech also surprised him.
The two walked out of the golden palace, and Tang Ji waited for a while in the open space outside before seeing Dong Sheng's figure.
Dong Sheng also noticed him at the same time, raised his lips slightly, and walked over: "Master Tang, are you waiting for me?"
"Yes, thank you very much, Prime Minister Dong, for rescuing your subordinates from the siege." Tang Ji bowed his hands politely.
Dong Sheng waved his hand casually: "I don't mean to excuse you. I'm just telling the truth. Some girls are indeed worth cultivating. The book "Three Lives of Demonic Dreams" is well written. With that spiritual style of writing, I think
I have also read poetry and books. If I can really participate in the imperial examination, it will not be a problem to be in the top ten of the second list. It's a pity... Alas, although I helped you, the rules left by the ancestors cannot be broken, and the education and customs cannot be destroyed. You kid can't
Have some snacks!"
Tang Ji nodded slightly: "Thank you, Prime Minister Dong, for your guidance."
Li Yu put his hands behind his head and said with a smile: "That's right, Lingfeng is the author I selected. Not only is he kind-hearted, but he also writes good articles. Now he has been bought out by Ji Ran Bookstore. I will work hard in the future."
Cultivated..."
Halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Tang Ji.
"Stop talking!"
"What are you doing?" Li Yu pushed his hand away and excitedly planned to continue praising Dong Sheng, but found that the latter also moved two steps to the side.
"You young people, please don't bring me into your affairs. My old bones can't stand the trouble!"
After listening to Dong Sheng's words, Li Yu scratched the back of his head in confusion, but found a figure of Youdao appearing behind him. He turned around and found that it was Song Yao.
"Your Highness, you, such a beautiful and kind-hearted girl, shouldn't you marry her home?" After Song Yao finished speaking, she snorted with a stern face.
Li Yu quickly shook his head: "Hey, hey, I'm just kidding, why are you here?"
At this time, the morning court had just ended. Song Yao naturally would not lose face by having a little temper here, so he turned to say: "Your Majesty summoned me. I heard that Song Xiao said that you slept late today and didn't eat breakfast, so I brought it to you.
OK, I’ll leave it at Dali Temple. Okay, if there’s nothing else to do, I’ll leave first!”
Then, she lowered her voice and added: "Let's talk about that beautiful and kind-hearted girl after I leave the office!"
Looking at her back, Li Yu suddenly showed a bitter look on his face. He couldn't help but reached out and patted her cheek twice: "What a mouth!"
Upon seeing this, Tang Ji and Dong Sheng smiled one after another, and the three of them walked towards the outer city together.
This scene happened to be captured by Li Qin and Li Xian. The former frowned slightly and looked sad, while the latter clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Before, the two prime ministers did not participate in party disputes and rarely had contact with officials or princes. However, since Li Yu came back and Tang Ji entered the capital, everything seemed to have changed. Prime Minister Shen had expressed his disapproval of Tang Ji in the provincial examination. Ji praised him more and more, and now even Prime Minister Dong also spoke for the boy, which made both of them feel an unprecedented sense of crisis at the same time.
After a moment, Li Xian took the lead to look away and sneered: "Brother Emperor, we have been fighting for so many years, but we haven't gotten as much as others have gotten in a few months. Are you satisfied?"
"Shouldn't this sentence be asked by the king to you, the third emperor brother?" Li Qin replied in a deep voice.
Just like that, the two of them snorted one after another, and left without paying any attention to the other.
...
The results of today's discussion in the court on whether to ban some books in Ji Ran's Bookshop soon spread to the city. Book fans were relieved to learn that the books had not been banned. However, they heard that Yang Tianhao had once again submitted a letter and impeached Tang Ji. He also sent greetings to his ancestors from the 18th generation.
At noon, because someone suffered from diarrhea after eating at Jiran Snack Street yesterday, there were many fewer customers in each store today.
In a restaurant, several young people were sitting around the dining table.
"Hey, I heard that someone got sick yesterday after eating something. After going home, he had diarrhea all day and night, and he almost died!"
"It's time to eat, don't be disgusting. Didn't it say on the notice outside that someone deliberately poisoned me? I guess they were jealous because of the good business at Jiran Snack Street!"
"It's so heartless. If you can't stand other people's business, you can't poison it. Why don't you research some new delicacies yourself?"
"Isn't it said that Tang Ji and the Yang family are involved in an affair? Do you think it was the Yang family who did something good?"
"The devil knows, stop talking, eat and eat!"
"..."
But just a short while later, a strong man came in from the back door of the small building carrying a thin man who looked like a monkey, threw him to the ground, and said angrily: "You are so big. You have the courage to poison me in front of me, do you think I am blind? You must have been the same yesterday!"
When they heard that the murderer who poisoned yesterday was caught, everyone turned their attention to him in unison.
The monkey-faced man shook his head in panic: "No, it's not me. I didn't poison him. I just wanted to throw something to eat."
"Huh? Why don't you tell the truth? In that case, let's go to the county government office and make it clear!" The sturdy man picked it up again and started to walk out the door.
Upon seeing this, the monkey-faced man immediately showed fear and struggled frantically, but to no avail. He had to shout loudly: "Brother, please forgive me, I don't want to go to the county government. I said, I said, it's the Yang family , the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion promised me that as long as I put this packet of medicine that makes people suffer from diarrhea in your meals, he will give me fifty taels. I... I was obsessed for a while. Brother, please spare the life of this villain. !”
After hearing what he said, everyone present instantly exploded.
"Look, I'll just say it's the Yang family. It's so damn shameless!"
"No, no matter how big of a personal feud we have with Tang Ji, we, the common people, can't be plotted against us. This time it's diarrhea, next time it's going to be arsenic!"
"This damn Yang family is really too much!"
"..."
Hearing the growing dissatisfaction present, the stout man knew that his goal was achieved, so he winked at the monkey-faced man. The latter, who also had no ink mark, seized the opportunity and bit his finger.
"Ah~"
The stout man screamed in pain.
The monkey-faced man seized the opportunity and ran towards the door.
The stout man deliberately raised his hand to let everyone see the blood spilled from his hand, and cursed angrily: "This guy is a dog, I guess I won't catch you and send you to see the official!"
After saying that, he chased after him.
In this way, the news spread like wildfire that the Yang family had poisoned its snack street in an attempt to suppress Jiran Bookshop but failed, instantly pushing the Yang family to the forefront of public opinion.
At the same time, Tang Ji, who had just finished taking a nap, stretched out and murmured: "It's time to make bigger moves."
