Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 102
"Hiss... In this way, this book really has its merits. This, punctuation marks, have magical effects!"

"That's right, I didn't notice it before, but if I look carefully now, it's really because of these punctuation marks, so I don't have to think about sentence breaks at all!"

"It's no wonder ordinary people in the market can easily understand this book. Dare to appreciate the universe in it!"

"I just said, why did my stupid student suddenly seem to be enlightened, and he was able to tell so many meanings in the book at once, so the mystery is here!"

"Confucius, if that's the case, if these punctuation marks are also added to the classics of the sages, wouldn't it be..."

Kong Jia and Shusun Tong finally came to their senses and reached a unified consensus on the use of punctuation marks.

"That's right, with this punctuation mark, no one will be able to distort the words of the sage, and there will be a unified standard for teaching the sage's meaning!" Kong Jia was pleasantly surprised.

On the other hand, Shusun Tong subconsciously took "The Story of the Stone" from Ying Zheng's hand, and nodded repeatedly while reading it, "Yes, there may be differences in opinions, but the general meaning cannot be misinterpreted!"

"Your Majesty, I'm confused. What you just said is right. My short-sightedness almost made the pearl dusty. May I ask Your Majesty, who wrote this book and invented such a miraculous thing?"

"Master Shusun's words are wrong!" Just when Kong Jia and Shusun Tong changed their views on "The Story of the Stone" because of punctuation marks, and asked about the author, a discordant voice exploded outside the imperial study. ring.

Feng Jing strode in, came to Ying Zheng, knelt down and saluted. Ying Zheng heard what Feng Jing said, and looked at his posture, and couldn't help but feel a headache. It seems that Feng Jing is also here to crusade "The Story of the Stone"!

"Your Majesty, I have important matters to participate in, so I ask for your Majesty's permission!" Feng Jing cupped his hands and kowtowed.

"If you have anything to say, get up and talk." Ying Zheng quickly took a sip of water to calm down his shock.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Feng Jing stood up, snatched "The Story of the Stone" from Shusun Tong, held the book high, and talked eloquently: "Your Majesty, this "The Story of the Stone" was written by the prince and two women. .”

"Prince Chen Shen, as the crown prince, doesn't care about state affairs. He plays with these strange skills all day long, neglects his studies, and even binds these unofficial biographies mixed with obscene words and songs into volumes for sale!"

"Nowadays, almost every wealthy family in Xianyang City, as well as traders and footmen, have such a copy of "The Story of the Stone" in their homes. And such a book that is difficult to read is actually written by the prince. The prince's move is simply The royal family has lost all face..."

Feng Jing's voice was so stern that Kong Jia and Shusun Tong, who were beside him, also became angry after hearing this.

Shusun Tong immediately interjected and asked: "Master Feng, what you said is true, is this book written by the crown prince?"

"It's absolutely true!" Feng Jingzheng was short of help, nodded repeatedly and said: "It's because of this, that after I learned about this, I immediately entered the palace to participate in the performance, please Your Majesty severely punish the prince!"

"Hmph!" Kong Jia flicked his sleeves violently, "It's really embarrassing for the majestic prince of Qin to write such obscene songs!"

"I originally wanted to recommend myself and teach the prince the words of a saint, but I didn't expect that he has already fallen into this state, writing books and selling them with two women. It is simply ridiculous!"

Seeing that Kong Jia and Shu Suntong had the same attitude as him, Feng Jing became more confident, and his voice to Ying Zheng was three points louder.

"My lord, I beg your Majesty to punish the prince severely and seal up the Daqin Bookstore. You must not encourage evil spirits to spread in our Daqin!"

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the sneering faces of the three ministers below. Is this the minister he relies on?
A book of "The Story of the Stone", not to mention whether there are pornographic songs in it, even if there are, in Ying Zheng's view, what is reflected in it is not only pornographic songs, but also thought-provoking home and country emotional and social issues.

Coupled with punctuation marks, with these two highlights alone, "Story of the Stone" can be called a well-deserved classic!
However, Feng Jing, Kong Jia and others, relying on their status, blindly attacked the content of the book, while ignoring the shining points of the book itself, as well as the paper and printing technology used in the book.

This made Yingzheng feel that the three ministers of his own were as if they had no brains. Could it be that their sage books had been read into the stomachs of dogs, and they couldn't even see such a simple truth?

Apart from letting themselves ban books and ban Daqin Bookstore, what else do they know?
In other words, they have already seen the advantages, but they are afraid of these advantages, so they deliberately avoid mentioning them...

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng decided to have a good talk with these guys and said, "Feng Jing, you said that the prince wrote "The Story of the Stone" because he was not doing his job properly and was evil. Then tell me, what can the prince do to avoid being evil?"

Feng Jing stands upright with confidence. He still believes that he is standing on the moral high ground. Even if Ying Zheng is unhappy, he will say it, because he has the truth.

"Qizou His Majesty, writing a book and setting up a biography, such as Zuo Xiang's "Remonstrance and Expelling Guests", in the eyes of the minister, it is not a crooked way!"

Kong Jia and Shusun Tong's eyes lit up when they heard this. Feng Jing really dared to say that Li Si's "Remonstrance and Expulsion Order" is famous all over the world. Comparing this with Zhao Yi's "The Story of the Stone", it is clear that it is superior.

In Ying Zheng's eyes, a cold light finally flickered, "Feng Jing, I thought that you would understand a little more truth when I told you the words of a saint, but I didn't expect that you still let me down."

"In fact, I have never thought of a reason, why I always feel that you are not suitable to be a Taiwei, and it is over if you can make you the history of the Taiwei's mansion. Today, I finally thought of the real reason!"

"Feng Jing, when you look at things, you always only look at its surface, but you only subjectively and selectively ignore the inner things of things, so this is the main reason why I think you are not suitable to be a Taiwei!"

"When you say someone else is wrong, can you think about yourself first? Are you really right about everything?"

Feng Jingru was struck by thunder, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief. He did not expect to hear Ying Zheng's words.

Feng Jing was deeply concerned that he had never been able to advance to the rank of Taiwei. Even though he had just been promoted to the rank of Commander-in-Chief of the Taiwei Mansion, Feng Jing still felt that he had been underestimated.

But now hearing what Ying Zheng said, Feng Jing finally understood that Ying Zheng had always thought about himself, but he couldn't understand what Ying Zheng meant.

"Your Majesty, your majesty is stupid, please clarify!" Feng Jing gritted his teeth, even if he died today, he wanted to die to understand.
