Chapter 242 Regret

 At this time, looking at these poems, it is love and praise from the heart, and it is uncontrollable addiction.

Everyone forgot that they were still attending the morning court, and the emperor was still watching them from above. Everyone got carried away in the discussion and talked about anything.

This place is as lively as a vegetable market.

Qin Xiao didn't stop him and gave them enough time to read and digest the matter.

But one of them became more and more frightened the more he looked at it, that was Zhongyi Hou.

There are more than a dozen poems in this book written by Gu Rong, and Gu Rong also said that they were written by her. However, now that I have read this book, I don’t know what Zhongyi Hou still doesn’t understand.

Gu Rong must have seen this book in advance and wrote down some poems, claiming that they were written by herself, so as to gain the reputation of a talented woman.

Originally, although copying poems is indecent, it is understandable. Apart from losing some face after being discovered, nothing will happen.

But!

The emperor said that this is the sacred book he got!

So how should Gu Rong settle this matter?

Zhongyi Hou was uneasy. He felt the looks from his colleagues looking over him from time to time, which made him feel on pins and needles. No, he was a little frightened.

-

The civil servants were obsessed with poetry, but in the end it was the generals who were the first to put aside their curiosity about the contents of this sacred book and began to pay attention to how it came from.

Did the emperor really ask for it from the gods? Why does this sound so scary?

I don’t dare to believe it because I’m afraid!

However, if this book is said to have been compiled by the emperor himself, then they would lament that the emperor is also too literate, which really makes their generals look good.

Look at these civil servants who usually consider themselves noble. They are all red-faced with excitement, but they still have their usual poise and reserve.

Haha, it’s so embarrassing.

King Ruyang weighed the book in his hand repeatedly, touching the hard cover and the exquisite and lifelike illustrations inside, his heart was filled with ups and downs.

"May I ask your Majesty, is this book really a divine book? Wen Quxing gave it to you?" King Ruyang asked loudly.

His shout also brought Yang Shoufu and others back to their senses, and they reluctantly looked up from the pages of the book to look at Qin Xiao.

"That's right." Qin Xiao nodded, "The poems and characters here are not from our world, so they have never been circulated. But..."

When Qin Xiao said this, his eyes fell on Marquis Zhongyi and shouted majestically, "Marquis Zhongyi, do you know your guilt?"

"I don't know what crime I have committed. Please express it clearly to the emperor." Hou Zhongyi knelt down immediately. He was panicking to death, but he still asked calmly.

"Oh? You don't know?" Qin Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and his voice was not harsh, but it made Zhongyi Hou's scalp tighten.

"You teach your daughter poorly and do not distinguish between right and wrong. You allow your daughter to plagiarize poetry from the divine book and take it as your own. Not only do you not stop her, you also help her publish a collection of poems. This is an even greater crime!"

"...Wei Chen is wronged! Wei Chen really doesn't know!" Zhongyi Hou cried out.

"Do you really think your daughter could have written such a good poem?" Qin Xiao asked, his tone full of disbelief.

"Yes! It was previously said that these poems were written by a little girl. I never believed it. It is impossible for an inexperienced girl to write such poems."

"That's right! You are definitely crazy about wanting to be famous. You even copied these ancient poems. You won't be able to tell the difference between loyalty and righteousness. Don't ask questions."

……

As soon as Qin Xiao said something, many ministers knew what he meant and took the initiative to attack Zhongyi Hou.

Zhongyi Hou could not bear this anymore, so he no longer dared to cry out for injustice, and instead begged for mercy.

Qin Xiao was too lazy to target him now. Although he still wanted to be angry for Gu Xi, he knew that her life in Zhongyihou Mansion was not good.

However, for such a villain, keeping him and letting him see Gu Xi as noble and unattainable will make him suffer even more.

Moreover, his top priority is to deal with Gu Rong.

Therefore, after Qin Xiao beat him for a while, he directly gave Gu Rong's verdict, arrested her, imprisoned her for three days, and exiled her three thousand miles directly.

Zhongyihou,......

This biological daughter is finished!

"You have all read this sacred book. Such a good book should be shared by the world. However, now that the national treasury has no food and money, refugees are everywhere, and Beiyan is still eyeing it, and may go to war at any time, I cannot give it to the world for free.

,So, I have a book sales plan..."

After Qin Xiao finished telling his quotations for three different books, everyone was shocked, silent, and then excited.

If they are all sold, this wave of sacred books alone can earn 7 million taels, and the most important thing is the 100 copies of the deluxe edition.

The emperor personally inscribed it. One copy is fifty thousand taels, but that’s one hundred copies.

It can attract royal dignitaries, dignitaries, wealthy families, and even those business families, and make them willingly pay for it.

This is five million taels!

As soon as the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue calculated this account, he became excited and wished he could see the cash realized immediately.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue knelt down and shouted, "This matter has great potential. Your Majesty, do you want the Ministry of Rites to send a post to some people to inform some people about this matter?"

Some auctions have good things to auction, and they are preheated in advance so that people can prepare their money.

Fifty thousand taels, although not particularly much, is not small either.

When the Minister of Etiquette found out that he had been raped, he immediately stood up to speak and expressed himself actively. He promised that the invitation would be prepared, the guarantor would arrive, the book would be sold out, and the money would be received.

Seeing their positive attitude, Qin Xiao nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, let's leave the book sales to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household Affairs, and all the money collected will be used as military pay for my attack on Beiyan."

"The emperor wants to lead the expedition in person?" Those who didn't know yet started to argue again after hearing this.

Yang Shoufu was prepared, stood up, coughed lightly, expressed his loyalty and preferences impassionedly, and expressed his trust in the emperor.

With Yang Shoufu taking the lead, and other close ministers agreeing, the others were incompetent at all. They were silenced without even a few words of objection, and finally switched sides.

It’s really good for the emperor to do the conquest himself!

If the emperor personally conquers the country, who will supervise the country?

Queen Mother???

Unknowingly, Baiguan had thought about this question in their minds, but unexpectedly, they heard an answer they didn't expect.

"The queen is Gu Xi, and the one who supervises the country happens to be the queen!"

The crowd is excited again!!!

Zhongyihou,......

Wuwuwu... His biological daughter is about to be exiled, but the status of his former adopted daughter has become more and more noble, and now she will be a queen!!!

He regrets it so much!

Why didn't he treat Gu Xi well in the first place, and why did he become enemies with Gu Xi!

Regret! Regret!

The emperor didn't care about the ministers who were stunned by the news one after another. After finishing the three important things, he talked about the funeral of Emperor Daxing (the newly deceased emperor was called Emperor Daxing).

"Now that the country is in turmoil, everything about the funeral should be kept simple. I will go out tomorrow, and the eldest prince and others will take the lead in keeping vigil for him for three days, and then transport it to the imperial mausoleum."

Baiguan,......
