In the quiet bedroom, Song Tuizhi spread out the paper. Different from copying Chen Luo’s manuscript at random, this time he picked up the brush and wrote on the paper carefully, stroke by stroke, seriously.

“Respected teacher.”

“It has been three days since my disciple was ordered to look after the pioneer of the fourth Road to the Heavens. This son, whose surname is Chen, name Luo, is from Qingzhou, and he is nineteen years old. He met the disciple of the disciple Wei Tian at the ceremony of choosing the master of literary heart. He is quite affectionate. Tian Yiyan said that this son has a pure and good character and has something to talk about, but he is not born with the talent to read through, which is a pity.”

”The disciple did not reveal his identity, but secretly observed his words and deeds. When Chen Luo first entered the capital, he was targeted by Qi Kexiu’s grandson.

”The grandson of Hou Jiqi said that Chen Luoyin’s “A Brief Biography of Zhong Kui” is widely distributed all over the world, and in the future, it can earn hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of silver per month, and in the later period, it is like a long-flowing water, and there is no worry of exhaustion. Inspired by greed, he wanted to borrow Chen Luochu to the capital and Ling Wei to take it.”

”Teacher, don’t get angry, the disciple has already fought with Qi Kexiu, breaking two ribs of the old man, breaking one-third of his talent, and scolding him to discipline his grandson.”

”The above are all trivial matters, and there are only two things that I want to report to the teacher.”

”First, the disciple sees that Chen Luo has the heart to run a newspaper. There is a narrator in the capital, named Nan Yuanxi, from Beifenglou. Today, Chen Luo and Nanyuan Xi are meeting, and they want to start a new newspaper, invited Nanyuan Xi to take this matter together. Hearing his words, it seems that Mr. Wen will join with others, and the best ones will be published in the new newspaper.”

”Chen Luo said, I want to create a new newspaper of Li Shu, so that the people can afford it, like to read it, and have value. This wish will shock the disciples.”

”Secondly, the content of the new newspaper, Chen Luo tentatively divided into two, one for the editorials, and the other for the story. Tonight, Chen Luo wrote an article in 10,000 characters at home, titled “Lady Du Angrily Sinks Her Treasure Chest”, wishing to let Nan Yuanxi tell everyone when he does the “wake up early.”

”The text, the story, the people, and the feelings all make the disciple’s eyes shine. When the disciple reads this text, a colorful aura grows in his chest. At first, it was only the size of a soybean. After reading it again and again, it has grown to the size of a finger. When reading the classics, it is quite similar to cultivating Haoran’s righteousness, which should be the fourth kind of Qi that leads to the sky.”

”The disciple tried to combine the seven-colored qi with the Haoran righteousness, and it was successful. But after repeated attempts he found that there was no effect, so he gave up. Presumably, the colorful qi must be combined with the cultivation method of the fourth road to heaven to be effective.”

”Speaking of this, the disciple thinks that when the grandson of Qi Kexiu was making some trouble for Chen Luo, he sent his blood-refining demon servant to grab Chen Luo, but he was knocked back by Chen Luo. The fit is exactly the gift of Wenqu’s presence in the world, and it also has the effect of refining the body, which is similar to the Buddha’s diamond method. I don’t know what the Buddha will do when he finds out, please pay attention to the teacher.”

”There may be a dispute in the courtroom tomorrow regarding the matter of the great scholar’s literary heart. The disciple will pass on the teacher’s will and accept Chen Luo into the line of Bamboo Forest.”

”There is only one thing that disciples can’t figure out, so I am courteously asking the teacher to explain. Since ancient times, there is a law in heaven, and it is difficult to write a chapter about false things in Yawen. However, whether it is “Zhong Kui Lue Biography” or “Du Shiniang”, they are all fiction. Why can they exist in this world?”

”Enclosed is the full text of “Lady Du Angrily Sinks Her Treasure Chest”, please take a look at it, teacher.”

”The disciple retreats and bows again.”



The color of a fish maw just appeared in the east, and a carriage was already driving on Suzaku Street. The driver was an old servant with a dry cigarette in his mouth. He smiled and said to the car: “Lord, if you haven’t completely woken up, you can rest in the car for a while. The old servant will call you when you arrive at the imperial city. .”

There was a thank you from the carriage, naturally, it was Chen Luo.

Counting the time, it was about six in the morning. Chen Luo yawned, apparently fully woken up.

”That Senior Wei, and I was planning to ask him for advice on the way too.” Chen Luo complained. Today Wei Yan sent an old servant to the earl’s house to knock on the door, but Wei Yan himself was not seen. When he asked the old servant, the other party It is only said that Wei Daru went up to the court on foot alone.

”Young Master, what do you want to know?” Ji Zhong also accompanied him in the carriage.

”The layout of the courtroom, who is the eldest brother, who is the junior, and who should be worshipped when entering the courtroom, it must be clear. I originally planned to ask questions on the way to the court.” Chen Luo shrugged.

Ji Zhong proudly said: “Then I know it! The imperial court issues the “Official Chronicle” every year, and I am also involved in it.”

”Oh?” Chen Luo was overjoyed and hurriedly urged, “Tell me now.”

”Well, it’s too long to talk about the affairs of the officials. Let me briefly talk about the structure of the court with the young master.”

”Since the present, His Majesty ascended the throne, the system of four prime ministers at the beginning of the dynasty has been restored, and the governor is in charge of the world.”

”The head of the Wenchang Pavilion is the Prime Minister. He is in charge of the affairs of the world. All the academies and literary items in the world are under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister.”

”The head of the main hall is the government minister, who is in charge of the government affairs of the court. There are five ministries of officials, rituals, workers, households, and guards.”

”The head of the Wuwei Mansion, the Minister of War, is in charge of the military affairs of the world. The battle line between the north and the barbarians is dominated by the Wuwei Mansion.”

”The head of the department of justice, the law minister, in charge of the world’s criminal law, review, and supervision.”

”Besides the Four Elements, there is another division, called Zhenxuan Division.”

”Zhenxuan Division monitors the inside, infiltrates the outside, and is in charge of the world’s intelligence information.”

”This is the basic structure of the Great Xuan Dynasty court.”

”Young Master, you are following the path of the Minister of Literature, and naturally you belong to the line of Minister of Literature. Marquis Qu Li, who had conflicts with the young master before, is the grandson of the great scholar Qi Kexiu, and Qi Kexiu is the political leader. The deputy of the minister, the son needs to pay attention. The law minister is notorious for being upright, and he doesn’t like to judge things, so the son does not need to care. As for the military minister, he seldom participates in government affairs discussions, and most of the time in the court, he is just making up the numbers.”

Chen Luo nodded slightly, and after hearing Ji Zhong’s words, his mind became clearer. It stands to reason that this time he went to court to accept the official title and thank the king. This is the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, that is, the political minister.

Hope nothing goes wrong.



The carriage drove through the Baizhan Gate, crossed the Jin Yufang, and then boarded the Jinshui Bridge. A towering palace wall appeared in front of you. The old servant who was driving the car knocked on the frame of the car: “Uncle, we have arrived at the imperial city.”

The curtain of the car was lifted, Chen Luo and Ji Zhong got out of the car, then Ji Zhong cupped his hands: “Master, I’ll wait for you outside.”

Chen Luo nodded, touched the palace entry token Wei Yan asked the old servant to bring to him, and walked towards the gate of the imperial city…



At the same time, Nan Yuanxi walked out of Xiao Hexiang’s yard and walked quickly towards Beifeng Tower. He hasn’t slept all night since watching “Du Shiniang” last night. Perhaps because of Xiao Hexiang’s identity, he hated Li Jia and Sun Fu in the text. Although he knew that this was a fiction, he still had an aura of resentment in his body. He didn’t know what effect this article would bring, but he knew that the article in his arms was ten times better than “A Brief Biography of Zhong Kui”.

He couldn’t wait to share it with others, to discuss everything in the book together.

When he does the “wake up early” today, he will not read the mansion newspapers, and I have to finish all the 10,000-character word narrative.

Nan Yuan’s footsteps kept going, but he didn’t care at all. The arrogance and righteousness that had been stagnant in his body for nearly ten years, there was a burst of vitality…
