Chapter 420 – Concept
At this time, the dishes and wines were served up like running water, Ji Wuxing smiled and greeted the dishes, Xue Mu slowly tasted them and pondered in his heart.
Previously was “the prince to fight for the throne” this kind of inherent impression led to biased thinking, stereotypically divided people into camps, think that it must be you and I live and die. But in fact, for the princes between indeed so, but for Xiahou Di is not so see.
With Ji Wuyou closest is right, she may only use their own way to support, rather than listen to his instructions to do things, and even more will not take the initiative for him to swing the knife to their other brothers, unless it is self-defense counterattack.
If Ji Qingyuan originally set up a crown prince, Xiahou Di is sure that no matter which one is recognized, but instead will also force Ji Wuyou to accept the reality of it …… Today’s situation is a little hard to say, anyway, as long as you don’t go backwards, Xiahou Di will not take the initiative to deal with you.
Far from the courtiers to stand in line ferocious, if you change someone else to the main event, once determined to rely on a certain prince, that in the necessary time to slaughter up a few others can be absolutely not soft.
In this way, Ji Qingyuan chose Xiahou Di to be the Chief Constable, really has his reasons, at least Department Six will not become anyone’s private army.
Seeing Xue Mu pondering, Ji Wuxing suddenly said, “It’s Chief Constable Xue who makes me look puzzled.”
Xue Mu woke up and casually asked, “How so?”
Ji Wuxing said, “Since you’re friends with Little Dee Dee, why did you write a demonic book about demonic stars messing up the world? Don’t you know that the one who advocates for a world in turmoil will definitely be her most hated enemy?”
Xue Mu looked a bit strange and asked, “So King Tang heard the storytelling book and wanted to find me, does this mean questioning?”
“Half yes, half no.” Ji Wu Xing sipped his wine and casually said, “It’s also right to say questioning, standing in my position of this kind of worldly way to help me rob, wouldn’t be willing to have others rob more than I am happy. The way of the crossroads is obviously used by many people, but why is the crossroads the devil that everyone shouts at? I believe that General Manager Xue understands it better than a roughneck like me.”
These words made Xue Mu more and more amazed, and he laughed, “King Tang is really an interesting person.”
Ji Wu Xing added, “This new book of Chief Executive Xue’s has had a very bad impact. Although I don’t know how it’s written in the back, I think it’s always impossible to escape from killing corrupt officials and practicing the so-called chivalry to whitewash it. But in fact, General Manager Xue’s opening words are clearer than anyone else’s, it’s called wreaking havoc on the world, even if it’s hung with the signboard of acting on behalf of heaven.”
Xue Mu leisurely said, “I am the devil’s door.”
“Are you looking for a beautiful signboard for the Devil Sect’s Alliance of the Six Paths, both to increase the alliance’s internal identity cohesion and to make it more acceptable to the world? Just as you used the White-Haired Demoness to wash Xue Qingqiu.”
“Tang Wang Mingjian.”
“But you’re taking a stand against the court, which means that Windstorm House’s heart is blossoming to say this book, and a different ordinary bookstore wouldn’t even print it for you.” Ji Wu Xing seriously looked at Xue Mu’s eyes, “Little Dee Dee is the first to hate this kind of book, are you trying to flip out with her?”
Xue Mu said indifferently, “So this book will likely become the first banned book in this world, pulling off the beginning of textual control?”
“Very likely.”
“If King Tang becomes the emperor, will he ban it?”
Ji Wuxing went silent for a long time before saying, “If the follow-up is indeed as I think, then I wouldn’t ban it.”
Xue Mu was surprised, “Why?”
“Because if that’s the case, the devil in Chief Xue’s writing is closer to our righteous path.” Ji Wu Xing grinned, “There’s nothing wrong with letting the world see and understand.”
In the short exchange, Xue Mu already didn’t know how many times he was shocked by this guy. In these few sentences alone, there was first the concept of using the written word to disrupt the law, then the concept of using the military to violate the ban, which were all vague but not clear concepts in this world, but in a few sentences were finished by this King of Tang.
Logically, Xue Mu should dislike such a notable ruling class mindset, and especially from his perspective he should be even more averse to the idea of banning books, but still, he had to admit that this King of Tang was really interesting. At least he clearly told Xue Mu that this honest and unapologetic “persona” was no different from his true nature when it came down to it.
He sighed and slowly said, “Actually, the so-called bad influence has to be looked at in two ways.”
Ji Wu Xing wondered, “How so?”
“If the dynasty is peaceful, officials are clean, and everyone lives and works in peace and happiness, then the people of the world reading this kind of book can only look at it for fun, thinking that I, Sanhao Xue Sheng, am talking nonsense and want to whitewash the devil’s door, and then will also think that the righteous path that is usually honored is not really that good, and in the view of the court it can also be considered as a warning and a reflection.” Xue Mu said, “But if the dynasty is mediocre, the officials are greedy, and the chaotic people rise in all directions, then the book will cause people to resonate, and the group will imitate it, and the impact at that time will be really bad……. But the bad impact at that time, is it really the reason for the book?”
Why “Water Margin” in the Shengshi is a strange book, in Chongzhen Kangqian is a banned book, in the present world is a masterpiece, this is the difference.
Ji Wu Xing was silent.
“Your little Dibi Dibi …… Oh, little sister, she is a sensible person, will not turn over with me because of this, may be a little angry? The big deal is that I write another work that glorifies famous arresters to pat her on the back.” Xue Mu laughed out loud, “King Tang has overthought it.”
Ji Wuxing also laughed: “General Manager Xue is really funny.”
Xue Mu raised his cup in honor: “Same to you.”
The two of them drank a glass of wine, Ji Wuxing wiped his mouth, and laughed: “Just now, this is half a question. That half is not well …… I am inviting you to dinner, not asking you on the street, right?”
“Right.” Xue Mu laughed, “Today, Mister Xue has made a friend in King Tang.”
Ji Wu Xing laughed, “Since we are friends, let’s talk about the wind and moon! Come on, let’s dance!”
The sound of music changed from gentle to lively, and a group of dancers entered with smiles on their faces. It is not the common charming dance of the past days, but quite close to the night dance team to show the pomp and circumstance dance, it seems that it has now become the upper society’s drinking and banqueting fashion.
Visible this wind and moon also has a measure, late at night little dolls are present to eat and drink, if you engage in a colorful dance, that is called stupid.
Between the two did not even mention the issue of competition for position, but in fact said here is already enough. Ji Wuxing had already expressed his political philosophy, and Xue Mu had also expressed that he had a good feeling about him, and the initial contact had reached this level, and the intention had already been exhausted.
Relationships came slowly, deeper understanding had to continue to be observed, and choices were two-way, both sides counted.
Xue Mu leaned on the back of the chair and drank, leisurely enjoying the dance for a while, the dancers are also not Star Moon Acacia origin, it must be the Tang King’s own training to find, the level is okay, pleasing to the eye, but compared with the Star Moon Acacia Sect, of course, there is an essential gap.
The gap between the top clans and ordinary origins is not only reflected in the martial arts, but will also be reflected in many details, the gap in temperament alone is very difficult to make up.
However, he heard Ji Wuxing say, “Eh, let’s have a discussion, if the Star Moon Acacia Sect is interested, come to my place and string me along, I’ll give a high price.”
Xue Mu laughed, “Under the Star Moon Sect, I won’t let them do this kind of powerhouse drinking and banqueting occasions for people to dance for them, either it has to be a high end event, or I’d rather perform on the square for the public to see. You know, the nature is different.”
Ji Wu Xing lost his smile, “It’s only right that General Manager Xue cares about the identity and face of his disciples. What about the Acacia Sect?”
“If the Acacia Sect, you can look for them to discuss, but I think it …… is mostly likely that they are only willing to give some outer disciples as well.”
Because the relationship is not enough. At least the Acacia Sect is going to give out inner disciples when they give the vertical and horizontal path to support the literary stage, it’s always an ally. Letting them offer dances to the court’s dignitaries? Are you kidding me, the Acacia Sect no longer have no reserve is not not face, also afraid of being ridiculed by the same way, OK.
Of course, if you are the devil’s advocate, standing in a boat, then the Acacia Sect is certainly no problem, even if the necessary occasions to let the piano fairy and the thousand mountain twilight snow group to give you a show is not non-negotiable. The nature is different.
Ji Wuxing also knew it by heart and smiled, “It’s fine to be able to come out as an outer disciple.”
Xue Mu wondered, “If King Tang is openly recruiting the Heping Sect, is he not afraid of repeating the same mistake as King Yong, resulting in bad comments from the court?”
Ji Wuxing smiled, “In the past, I would be a bit hesitant, but in the current situation, any judgment is nothing.”
He said and shook his fist, “This is the real thing.”
Xue Mu smiled faintly and did not reply.
It was at this moment that the guards’ neat greeting came from outside the door, “See Chief Constable Xiahou.”
Xue Mu’s smile spread out, how interesting, no one dares to stop Xiahou Di, and in this way reminds the inside that she is here. It seems that Xiahou Di’s relationship with this Old Nine is indeed not that bad.
