Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 420 Concept

At this time, the dishes and wine were served like water, Ji Wuxing smiled and greeted the dishes, and Xue Mu slowly tasted them, pondering in his heart.

Previously, I was biased by the inherent impression of "princes competing for the throne", and rigidly divided people into camps, thinking that it would be a matter of life and death. But in fact, this is true among the princes, but not so for Xia Houdi.

It's true that she is the closest to Ji Wuyou. She can only support him in her own way instead of following his instructions. She will not take the initiative to swing the knife at her other brothers for him, unless it is self-defense and counterattack.

If Ji Qing had originally established a crown prince, Xia Houdi would definitely have accepted the blame no matter what, and would have urged Ji Wuyou to accept the reality... The current situation is a little hard to say. Anyway, as long as you don't go against the grain, Xia Houdi won't take the initiative to deal with you.

Far from being as brutal as the courtiers who stood in line, if someone else was in charge, once they made up their mind to lean towards a certain prince, they would definitely not be lenient in killing several others when necessary.

Looking at it this way, Ji Qingyuan's choice of Xia Houdi as the chief arrester really made sense. At least the Six Doors would not become anyone's personal weapon.

Seeing Xue Mu thinking, Ji Wuxing suddenly said: "It's Manager Xue who makes me unable to understand."

Xue Mu woke up and asked casually: "How do you say it?"

Ji Wuxing said: "Since you are on good terms with Xiao Di Di, why did you write a demon book about the troubled times of the Demon Star? Don't you know that those who advocate trouble for the world will definitely be her most hated enemy?"

Xue Mu looked a little weird and asked: "So after hearing the story, the King of Tang wanted to find me. Does this mean to question me?"

"Half yes and half no." Ji Wuxing drank wine and said casually: "It's not wrong to question. From the standpoint of my world, I won't want others to rob me more than me. Heng Xingdao Obviously many people are using it, but why is Hengxing Dao the devil that everyone shouts about? I believe Manager Xue understands better than a rough guy like me."

These words made Xue Mu even more amazed, and he laughed and said: "The Prince of Tang is really an interesting person."

Ji Wuxing added: "General Manager Xue's new book has a very bad impact. Although I don't know how it is written at the end, I guess I can't escape killing corrupt officials and practicing so-called chivalry to whitewash it. But in fact, General Manager Xue's opening chapter Mingyi is better than anyone else, this is called causing trouble to the world, even if he wears the sign of doing justice for heaven."

Xue Mu said leisurely: "I am the Demon Sect."

"Are you looking for a beautiful sign for the Demon Sect Six Paths Alliance, which will not only increase the internal recognition and cohesion of the alliance, but also make the world more accepting? Just like you used the white-haired witch to wash Xue Qingqiu."

"Mingjian of the King of Tang Dynasty."

"But you are standing against the imperial court. That is to say, Fengbolou is so excited about this book that an ordinary bookstore would not even print it for you." Ji Wuxing looked seriously into Xue Mu's eyes: "Little Odi is the first to hate this kind of book, do you want to fall out with her?"

Xue Mu said calmly: "So this book will likely become the first banned book in this world, marking the beginning of text control?"

"Probably."

"If the King of Tang became emperor, would he ban it?"

Ji Wuxing remained silent for a long time before saying, "If the follow-up is indeed what I think, then I won't ban it."

Xue Mu was surprised: "Why?"

"Because if this is the case, the demon described by General Manager Xue is closer to our righteous path." Ji Wuxing grinned: "There is nothing wrong with letting the world understand."

In the short exchange, Xue Mu was shocked by this guy countless times. In just these few sentences, we first have the concept of using words to disrupt the law, and then there is the concept of using force to violate the forbidden. These are vague but unclear concepts in this world, but in these few sentences, they are The king of Tang Dynasty finished speaking.

Logically speaking, Xue Mu should not like such obvious ruling class thinking, especially from his point of view, he should be disgusted with the idea of ​​banning books, but he still has to admit that this Tang King is really interesting. At least he told Xue Mu clearly. Once this frank and unfailing "personality" has been developed to this point, it is no different from his true temperament.

He sighed and said slowly: "Actually, the so-called bad influence can be seen in two situations."

Ji Wuxing asked curiously: "How do you say that?"

"If the government and the public are peaceful, the officials are honest, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, then people in the world will only enjoy reading this kind of book. They will think that my three good friends, Xue Sheng, are talking nonsense to whitewash the demon sect, and then they will also think of the fact that the righteous way they usually respect is actually It's not very good, and it can be regarded as a warning and reflection in the eyes of the court." Xue Mu said: "But if the government is mediocre, officials are greedy, and chaos is everywhere, then this book will resonate with people and they will imitate it, and the impact at that time will be It’s really bad…but was the bad influence at that time really caused by the book?”

Why "Water Margin" was a strange book in the prosperous times, a banned book in Chongzhen, Kangxi and Qianlong, and a famous book in today's world, this is the difference.

Ji Wuxing was silent.

"Your little Didi...oh, little sister, she is a sensible person, she won't fall out with me because of this, maybe she will be a little angry? At worst, I will write another work praising famous fishermen to flatter her." Xue Mu laughed: "The King of Tang is overly worried."

Ji Wuxing also laughed: "General Manager Xue is really interesting."

Xue Mu toasted to each other: "To each other."

The two of them had a drink. Ji Wuxing wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "This was half a question just now. The other half wasn't... I'm inviting you to dinner, not asking you in the street, right?"

"Yes." Xue Mu said with a smile: "Today, Xue made a friend in the Tang Dynasty."

Ji Wuxing laughed: "Since we are friends, let's talk about romance! Come on, let's dance!"

The music changed from gentle to lively, and a group of dancers came in and danced with smiles. It's not the usual charming dance, but it's very close to the grand scenery dance performed by the night dance team. It seems that it has now become a banquet trend in the upper class.

It can be seen that Fengyue also has a sense of proportion. Little baby Weiye is eating and drinking freely here. If you want to dance extravagantly, you are stupid.

The issue of competing for position was not mentioned at all between the two, but in fact it was enough to mention it here. Ji Wuxing has already expressed his political philosophy, and Xue Mu has also expressed his good impression of him. This is the first time he has been exposed to this level, and he is already exhausted.

Relationships develop slowly, and you need to continue to observe for a deeper understanding. The choice is also two-way, and both parties are aware of it.

Xue Mu leaned back on the chair and drank, enjoying the dance for a while. The dancer was not from Xingyue Hehuan. She must have been trained by King Tang himself. Her level was good and pleasing to the eye. She could be compared with Xingyue Hehuan's disciples. Of course There is an essential difference.

The gap between top sects and ordinary people is not only reflected in martial arts, but also in many details. The gap in temperament alone is difficult to make up.

But he heard Ji Wuxing say: "Hey, let's talk about it. If Xingyue Hehuan's disciples are interested, come to my place for a visit and I'll give you a high price."

Xue Mu smiled and said: "Xingyue's disciples, I will not let them do this kind of thing like dancing for the rich and powerful at banquets. It must be a high-end event, or they would rather perform in the square for the public. You know, the nature is different."

Ji Wuxing laughed: "General Manager Xue cares about the status and reputation of his subordinates, as it should be. What about the Hehuan Sect?"

"As for Hehuan Sect, you can discuss it with them, but I think... most of them will only give it to outer disciples."

Because it doesn't matter. At least when the Hehuan Sect supports Zonghengdao in terms of literature and art, it will recruit inner disciples, so they are always allies. Let them dance for the dignitaries of the court? Are you kidding me? No matter how reserved or shameless the Hehuan Sect is, they are also afraid of being ridiculed by their colleagues.

Of course, if you are the spokesperson of the Demon Sect and stand on the same boat, then the Hehuan Sect will definitely have no problem. If necessary, even letting Fairy Qin and Qianshan Muxue Tuan come to support you is not out of the question. Different properties.

Ji Wuxing also knew it well and said with a smile: "It's enough if you can become an outside disciple."

Xue Muqi asked: "If the King of Tang openly recruits Hehuan's disciples, isn't he afraid of repeating the same mistakes of King Yong and causing bad comments from the government and the public?"

Ji Wuxing smiled casually: "I used to be a little hesitant, but with the current situation, any comments are false."

He clenched his fist and shook it: "This is true."

Xue Mu smiled slightly and did not answer.

At this moment, the guards uniformly greeted each other outside the door: "See Chief Inspector Xiahou."

Xue Mu's smile spread, it was so funny, no one dared to stop Xia Houdi, using this way to remind people inside that she was coming. It seems that the relationship between Xia Houdi and Lao Jiu is indeed not bad.
