Good-looking, not allowed to farm

Although King Richard had no intention of bothering Earl Hudgins to write that script...

But Judian, who was unwilling to give up, still wanted to fight for it.

After all, what if?

In case Dressel's illegitimate son can't write anything at all...

What if King Richard is in a hurry and wants to see it?

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared!

Judian, who never let go of any opportunity easily, ran to his old father.

At this time, Earl Hudgins, who had been idle all year round, was watching the actresses rehearse in the theater.

Judian went over and called him out.

Earl Hudgens was very surprised: "Why do you come to me when you have time?"

Although Judian didn't say something like "the king wants to see a play, let's play this play to please the king", he only said "I heard a very interesting story yesterday".

Then, he recounted in detail the story about the female robber Jessica that he heard from the tavern yesterday.

Earl Hudgins was unaware of his son's intentions.

An old dude like him has always been very interested in similar affairs between men and women, so he listened to the stories with great interest.

Unexpectedly, the story is not for nothing.

After Judian finished speaking, he asked him a series of questions: "How is it? Is there any inspiration? Can you write a script based on this story? Then, let's arrange another play?"

Earl Hudgins was taken aback, and couldn't help shouting: "Damn! What are you talking about? It's all just listening to a story, why are you still assigning homework?"

Judian couldn't help laughing, and quickly said comfortingly: "Father, you just need to listen to me, I will never hurt you."

As he spoke, he deliberately turned his body across, blocking the way Earl Hudgins wanted to leave, determined to let the other party listen to him, otherwise he would insist on not letting him go: "I know you always disdain Those false names don't like the intrigue in the court and the court. But think about it, you are not too young now, and you have spent almost half your life in the theater, but in the end, you are still only famous for "Marian". It can be seen that your career path is not going to work. So, why not take a different path?"

"It's like now, when the king wants to watch a play with this theme, you create it according to the king's wishes. When the king likes it, you only need to say hello, so why worry about no audience?"

"At that time, you have won His Majesty's favor, and with my help, you can beat the side drum..."

"Since then, we, father and son, have joined forces, relied on each other, and went in and out of the court together. As long as the king loves us, any duke or marquis will be polite to us!"

"Or, if you don't like dealing with people, then let me socialize. As for you, you are only responsible for satisfying the king's ideas. You can write whatever His Majesty likes."

"If His Majesty is happy, maybe he can even give you the title of 'National No. [-] Playwright'. In this way, fame and fortune are close at hand, and it is better than you spending time in the theater all day long. It's much better to not be famous for half your life!"

Zhu Dian finished his speech with confidence, thinking that it was well-founded, and for a playwright, the reputation of "the number one playwright in the country" is also very attractive.

Unexpectedly, his old father, Earl Hudgins, was very disrespectful.

The old earl, who had been playful for half his life, calmly gave a compliment: "Well, it sounds pretty good."

But at the next moment, he yawned lazily: "For you, this kind of future is very good. But for me, hey! My dear son, I'm really not very happy."

Zhu Di'an suddenly became anxious: "What are you not happy about? Isn't your writing just for people to read? Isn't His Majesty the king more worthy of winning than those common people and nobles?"

Earl Hudgins shook his head boredly, and said perfunctorily: "You are right, but I still can't do it, so there is no need to talk about it."

Judian was enraged.

He couldn't help squinting his eyes, and said bitterly and viciously: "Ah! It can't be done? Then what can you do?"

"Hanging around with actresses all day long? Going to cockfights and gambling when you have nothing to do? You have written plays for half your life, but only "Marian" is famous... Oh! That's right!"

"The most famous adaptation was written by someone else...My lord earl, you have lived half your life and ended up accomplishing nothing? Hehe, if you put it this way, I finally understand that you can't do it."

Earl Hudgins watched the son silently, neither anxious nor annoyed, and only slowly replied: "Well, I have never been considered a useful person, nor even a good father. Until I live Half my life, I didn't really understand it. But..."

He stated almost calmly: "I have always been doing what I like to do. You can say that I am selfish, that I don't seek to make progress, or that I am a waste, but I do live freely. If I do what you said If I do it, I will give up my freedom. I will write whatever the king wants to see...Damn it! This kind of life sounds very boring, and I don't want to live a day."

"Honestly, Judian, I don't understand, I don't understand why you are always dissatisfied and want so, so much!"

"Money, you want it; power, you want it; even fame... To be honest, wouldn't it be good for the king to confer 'National No. [-] Playwright'? Isn't this deceiving yourself?"

"Hey, son! Why do you have to live so tiringly? Our family is a nobleman. Even if we don't revolve around the king, we can live comfortably. Why do you insist on going to the world's most complicated and expensive place? Where is the most intriguing place?"

Judian couldn't help but sneered: "According to what you say, it's good to hang out with inferior people all day long?"

Earl Hudgens sighed and replied: "It's not very good, but at least... I think, when I die in the future, I won't regret it."

"It's just because I have been doing what I want to do and playing what I want to play. Although there are many sad things that I feel guilty about, but I eat, drink, and be happy every day... I am still very satisfied."

Ah, the damned old dandy!

After hearing such extremely irresponsible, unmotivated, and shameless words, Judian was furious.

He wanted to yell and say that you are spending my money on eating, drinking, and being happy;

He also wanted to clenched his fists in rage and beat him up on the spot!

One can imagine that the person in front of him is his biological father...

He could only suppress his anger, but because of this, he lost the mood to continue talking, and left angrily.

Earl Hudgins looked at the back of his son leaving and made a helpless expression.

But for their father and son, this was just a common little dispute, so he quickly put it behind him, and returned to the theater excitedly, and continued to watch the actresses practice dancing.

Meanwhile, Jamie has died inside.

In order to avoid writing the story of the female robber Jessica, he even fished out a short will for himself: "Leave my money to Lady Helena; leave my political knowledge to Macomb (I did my best); Send contempt and hatred to this stupid world!"

Then, he closed his eyes peacefully.

And after 10 minutes, he opened it again in pain, and continued to write through gritted teeth.

A week later, he finally finished the story reluctantly and stumbling.

But I didn't want to move it to the stage at all, I just threw it aside, thinking: "Maybe the king has forgotten it."

King Richard had indeed forgotten that there was such a thing.

It's not that he's so forgetful.

It's just that as a king, countless people try their best to please him every day, so he never remembers such casual words.

Because anyone who gets such a casual sentence from him...

People like Judian are good players with chicken feathers as arrows, and they will appear in front of him sooner or later, bringing up the things he has forgotten.

But what he didn't expect was that Jamie was an exception of "As long as you don't mention it, I can always pretend to be dead".

Just bad luck with this exception.

Mingming wanted to pretend to be dead and avoid this matter, but because of another matter, the king remembered it.

And another thing, you can't blame others.

Because this matter also has a relationship with Jamie, but others don't know this relationship for the time being...

"Recently, a bad and dangerous idea is being spread in society..."

That day, in King Richard's audience room, a courtier suddenly stood up and said so.

Then, respectfully presenting a pamphlet, he went on to say in a solemn, exaggerated tone: "Trust me, Your Majesty. This matter is urgent, for there is such a malicious rebellion as to tarnish The pure hearts of the people will destroy the stability of the country!"

Jamie was present because he also had a title and title.

Hearing these words, he couldn't help but glanced at the past curiously, thinking: "What is it that defiles a pure heart?"

But when I saw that the title on the booklet was actually the familiar "A Brief Discussion on Human Rights Not Included After Sale"...

He silently lowered his head, pretending not to exist.

King Richard took the booklet, looked down at a few pages, and couldn't see any joy or anger in his expression for a while.

The room could only hear the minister's eloquent and extremely angry criticism: "I suggest that this mad hater must be arrested! This is definitely an incarnation of the devil, and his words are malicious and inflammatory , and is very good at provoking the nerves of those ignorant pariahs. If he is allowed to continue, it will threaten the current social security and affect the stability of the country..."

Jamie has mixed feelings.

He didn't feel that he had such great lethality, and he was still a devil?

On the other side, after turning over a few pages of the pamphlet, King Richard interrupted the courtier's nonsense, and said very sincerely: "Okay, I already know. Regarding this matter, I will definitely Think it over, trust me!"

The courtier had nothing to say.

But the king didn't want to listen anymore. He just waved his hand and unilaterally ended today's hearing.

However, when everyone sighed in private, this His Majesty is most likely too lazy to care about this matter, and wants to pass by with one eye closed...

King Richard abruptly and forcefully promulgated a new decree.

The general idea of ​​the decree is to strengthen the censorship of books and periodicals.He also stated that any reading materials with improper thoughts will be banned and burned.And those who read and disseminate should be severely punished, and no mercy will be given.

In this process, the Mad Hatter bears the brunt and is listed as the number one reactionary, the first-level wanted criminal!

Jamie covered the vest silently, and secretly decided to temporarily abandon the Mad Hatter and change to a pseudonym.

In addition, because the script is also a text reading material, it must also be reviewed before it can be performed on the stage.

As a result, the theater became deserted.

Just because all the scripts had to be re-sent for review, none of them were allowed to perform on stage before they passed the review.

There are few recreational activities in this world.

As soon as the theater was closed, many dudes couldn't help complaining.

After similar complaints reached the ears of King Richard...

He suddenly remembered the script he asked Jamie to write a few weeks ago, and immediately asked condescendingly: "Well, Louis! How is your story about the female robber going?"

Without waiting for Jamie to answer...

He was still smiling, and promised generously, "If it's finished, you might as well take a look. I'll sign it for you and pass it directly, which also saves the step of review."

So Jamie didn't have time to think about the Mad Hatter any more.

He let himself be immersed in the sadness of 'why Jessica was not banned' again...
