I'm the villain in the book
Page 53
Wei Changtian glanced at Wang Er, and could see that he was really loyal to the Wei family.
But some things are useless.
"Wang Er..."
Frowning for a while, Wei Changtian suddenly asked, "Which family of Liu and Wei families do you think is the most powerful?"
"This……"
Wang Er hesitated: "Liu Yuanshan is the prime minister, and he is good at winning people's hearts..."
Wei Changtian interrupted: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Wang Er was stunned, and quickly nodded affirmatively: "The Liu family is very powerful."
Wei Changtian immediately asked again: "Okay, what is the relationship between the Xu family and the Liu Wei family?"
Wang Er replied again: "The Xu family only wants to make money, and neither side is offended, and it is impossible to say who is closer."
"Well, then it's fine."
Wei Changtian suddenly showed a smile and stretched his waist: "Go home and wait, my father will be back at most at night."
"what?"
Wang Er said in surprise, "Young Master, why don't we do something?"
"doing what?"
Wei Changtian glared at Wang Er with hatred: "Tell me what else I can do now but wait?"
"I……"
Wang Er opened his mouth and couldn't speak, obviously he hadn't figured out the joints.
Seeing this, Wei Changtian had no choice but to explain:
"I ask you, which of the officials in the current dynasty is clean?"
"This...I'm afraid there is no such thing."
"Then why is everyone okay?"
"..."
Wang Er was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand a little: "Young Master, you mean the emperor..."
"That's right!"
Wei Changtian nodded: "Whether my father will have an accident or not can't be decided with a suicide note or a folded reference book. In the final analysis, it depends on what the emperor thinks."
"Since the Liu family is bigger than us and the Xu family is not on our side, do you think the emperor will help the Liu family or us?"
"But the emperor is very angry today..." Wang Er was still a little worried.
"Oh, the appearance is made for others to see..."
Wei Changtian sighed, looked at the plaque on the outside of the carriage, and said softly:
"Remember, if you want to guess what other people think... don't listen to what he says, but look at what he does."
……
At this moment, the palace, Shiqu Pavilion.
An old eunuch stood beside the white-robed man, leaned over and said softly, "Your Majesty, Lord Wei has already entered the palace."
"Ah."
Ning Yongnian nodded and took a sip of tea: "Lao Li, what do you think of today's affairs?"
"The slave said it's not good."
The old eunuch whispered, "I just don't understand why the Liu family suddenly went into trouble. If it was just because of the rivalry between the two families, it would be too unreasonable."
"I don't understand either."
Ning Yongnian stretched out his hand to the folds scattered on the table, and asked, "How much of this do you think is true?"
"This...it's half true and false."
The old eunuch hesitated for a moment, then continued: "Your Majesty, this Liu Wei dispute may not be as simple as before. If we don't deal with it properly, there is no guarantee that there will be a big mess."
"Hahahaha! I wish they would fight harder."
Ning Yongnian laughed twice and said happily, "If they don't fight one day, there will be a big mess."
"Your Majesty is wise."
The old eunuch flattered and already understood how Ning Yongnian would deal with this matter.
However, he was still a little worried in his heart: "Your Majesty, the servant still has a word, I don't know if I should say it or not."
"speak!"
"Yes."
The old eunuch organized some words just as he was about to speak, but there was a sudden shout from outside the door.
"Wei Chen Wei Xianzhi, please see the emperor!"
The old eunuch shut up for a moment, saw Ning Yongnian nodded, then walked to the door and welcomed Wei Xianzhi in.
"Your Majesty! I've heard about this morning!"
As soon as Wei Xianzhi entered the door, he shouted his grievance: "It's just too much deceitful and bloody! I'd like to confront them face to face!"
"Hahaha, Aiqing, don't be impatient."
Ning Yongnian ordered the seat in front of him, and even poured a cup of tea for Wei Xianzhi himself: "I naturally believe in Aiqing. I called you into the palace today to make you feel at ease."
"I will give you an account of this."
"..."
A quarter of an hour later, Wei Xianzhi came and left Shiqu Pavilion in a hurry.
Ning Yongnian looked at his back for a while through the open door, and then asked Xiang Xiang, the old eunuch who appeared out of nowhere.
"Old Li, what did you want to say just now?"
"The slave wants to say...Although the Liu family is powerful in the Wei family, Liu is still obedient to the emperor, but Lord Wei he..."
"Oh?"
Ning Yongnian turned his head and stared at the old eunuch with interest, until the latter suddenly fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the servants' loyalty to you can be learned from the sun and the moon! I said this entirely for your sake, and there is absolutely no intention of favoritism at all!"
"Get up, I didn't say anything."
Ning Yongnian retracted his gaze and muttered to himself.
"Wei family...it's not the time yet."
Chapter 61 The Opening of Chunshen Bookstore
This impeachment turmoil is like a typhoon. Although it comes violently, it goes quickly.
In the days that followed, it was as if it had never happened. Whether it was the Liu family's team or the Wei family's team, all the parties involved remained silent.
Although everyone kept their mouths shut, they also knew that this high probability was just the beginning.
The capital has returned to its former calm, or it has always been so calm.
And through this peace, Wei Changtian also lived a very regular day for a few days.
In the morning, he would fight, practice Tianluo Boxing and Guichen Dao with Xu Qingwan in the afternoon, practice calligraphy in the evening, and continue to tell the story of the monkey in the evening.
Oh, and occasionally I will go to Yang Liushi to learn from each other.
After all, Xiao Feng asked Yang Liushi to seduce him, so he had to do something.
In order to show that he had been "seduced" successfully, Wei Changtian swaggered every time he went to Fengqi Pavilion, and in addition to often enduring the jealous eyes of others, it was inevitable that Lu Jingyao would hear some rumors.
Wei Changtian never denied this, and Lu Jingyao was sulking almost every day.
In this way, on August 28, two commendable things finally happened.
The first is that Li Kan has become a Dali Siqing, and the system has rewarded him with 100 points. Wei Changtian emptied his balance and successfully bought the second protagonist's golden finger - "Destroyer".
Second, Chunshen Bookstore officially opened to sell books today.
This kind of thing is not convenient for Wei Changtian to show his face, but Lu Jingyao couldn't help but ran to join in the fun, and didn't come back until dusk with the sun on his head.
……
"It's a pity you didn't go, there are so many people!"
In the study, Lu Jingyao was sitting opposite Wei Changtian, reporting today's "grand event" with a beaming expression.
"Li Yang invited the chiefs of the Yunyan Poetry Society to go there. There were many scholars to watch the fun, and later they were still gathering together to recite poems..."
This Yunyan Poetry Society is quite famous in the capital and has gathered many scholars and writers.
However, in Wei Changtian's view, the functions of all literati organizations are limited to communicating with each other about which brothel girl is good, and it does not help in improving cultural accomplishment.
He looked at Lu Jingyao who was chattering, and said helplessly: "What's the use of more people going, the key is how well the books are sold?"
"Of course!"
Lu Jingyao said excitedly: "The first five hundred copies of "Journey to the West" were sold out, and the collections of poetry and the like also sold hundreds of copies..."
"Really good."
Wei Changtian nodded.
Since it is a bookstore, it is definitely not possible to sell only one book. In the end, it is necessary to prepare books such as collections of famous poems and essays to sell.
Anyway, there is no copyright protection awareness these days. Besides, most of the authors of these books have long since returned to the West, and they do not prostitute for free.
It's just that this kind of book is also sold in other bookstores after all, so in order to improve the difference of Chunshen Bookstore, Wei Changtian made some fuss and finally threw out the concept of "collector's edition".
Books don't have to be used for reading, they can also be used for collection!
Li Yang was shocked by such a novel idea as soon as it came out, and he immediately put it into action, producing a batch of collector's edition books.
The cost is ten times that of ordinary books, the price is dozens of times that of ordinary books, and the profit is hundreds of times that of ordinary books.
Just this can still sell hundreds of copies, Wei Changtian can only sigh that no one in any era can escape the clutches of IQ tax products.
"By the way, I brought you a collector's edition of "Journey to the West" back!"
On the other side, Lu Jingyao suddenly remembered this important matter while talking, and immediately got up and ran back to her house, and soon came back with a splendid silk bag.
The bag is entirely woven from satin, embroidered with elegant cloud patterns, and only in the center has four small characters arranged from top to bottom - Chunshen Bookstore.
Wei Changtian took the bag in surprise. He never expected that Li Yang could use the word "luxury" to such an extent.
Although he came up with the concept of the collector's edition, he always thought that adding a hard cover to the book would be luxurious enough these days...
It seems that there is still a long way to go for "spending money" as a pseudo-rich second generation!
Wei Changtian sighed for a while, reached out and pulled the cloth strip at the top of the bag, and gently shook out the contents.
A very beautifully written "Journey to the West" with a cover painting.
A small wooden box containing a deck of playing cards neatly stacked.
A neatly folded poker manual, which details the rules of five ways to play, including "fighting the devil", "cheating gold flowers" and "hoeing the earth".
Everything is printed with the logo of "Chunshen Bookstore", and in addition there is a small silver swallow in the bag.
Only the size of a thumb, but the carving is vivid.
"What the hell is this?"
Wei Changtian played with Yin Yan and asked casually.
"This is a token of Chunshen Poetry Society."
Lu Jingyao explained: "Only buying the Collector's Edition of Journey to the West will get this item as a gift, and if you have this item, you will be a member of the Chunshen Poetry Society."
"Chunshen Poetry Society? When did this happen?" Wei Changtian looked blank.
"Giggle, it's a method that Li Yang just came up with a few days ago."
