They are the ones in the wrong.
Why would His Majesty care whether Mr. Jia is a writer from Liaozhai?
Is it Di Renjie?
That's not the point.
"The main issue is that those three people made a mistake; what does it have to do with you?"
Su Yong continued, "Thank you for your understanding, Eunuch. I really didn't know before that Mr. Jia was the same person as Mr. Liaozhai. I didn't mention in the memorial that Chen Xian was the ninth-rank official who was recently appointed by His Majesty."
"What?"
The eunuch was slightly taken aback.
Some time ago, the palace did indeed send someone to Qingxia Village to deliver an imperial edict.
He knew about it.
The eunuch said regretfully, "What a pity. If His Majesty had known that these two were the same person, Chen Zuolang's position as the county school instructor might... perhaps... not have been removed..."
He then told the three of them what had happened in the court.
Uncle Fu said regretfully, "Indeed."
Chen Xian shook his head: "My skills are passable enough for writing storybooks."
If it were truly about teaching people how to create, I would be genuinely worried that they might be led astray, damaging Your Majesty's reputation. Thankfully, the decree has been withdrawn.
Otherwise, the misunderstandings caused by my previous work will remain, and I'm not good with words to explain them clearly.
Indeed, I was so focused on the pleasure of copying that I overlooked the fact that many frontier and war poems contain a hint of mockery, resentment, and the incompetence of the court.
In addition, there are many frontier poems that satirize the imperial court's excessive military spending.
This is why, when he was reposting poems, he didn't write any poems about reminiscing about the past, or those kinds of poems that express the sentiments of literati and poets.
Mr. Zhou's connections also helped to smooth things over.
Moreover, Lord Zhou in the imperial court was right; there was indeed no General Li in this era, he was indeed a fabrication.
Eunuch: "Chen Zuolang has a good attitude, he's joking."
"Tell me about your other identities as well... so I can report back to Your Majesty."
"Well, besides the storybooks I mentioned above, in my spare time, the Chen family also runs a meat and vegetable stall in the food street, and together with Brother Fu, we opened a fabric shop..."
The eunuch was so engrossed in listening that he pursed his lips.
"Chen Zuolang is truly multi-talented, and most importantly, he has boundless energy."
Liu Quan, who had been kneeling obediently on the ground, would occasionally steal glances at the silks bestowed by the emperor, his eyes slightly narrowed as he desperately suppressed the corners of his mouth.
My lord, you are indeed no ordinary person. It has only been a short time, and you have already been rewarded by the emperor twice.
I, Liu Quan, may not be able to be a benefactor, but from this moment on, I will be the benefactor of the future... the head steward by my side.
