Chapter 873 Everyone is Drunk but I’m Sober
Xinbao's eyebrows were furrowed. "But, this is not good! It's not cost-effective!! Then wouldn't it be a bad thing for us to make wooden birds? Wouldn't they study small toys more? But Xinbao doesn't like small toys. Xinbao wants something that Yeye likes, something that is useful to the world."
"Don't worry, Your Highness," Minister Tao comforted her, "Your Highness, in fact, some things need to be thought of in a different way. This... this wooden bird society, such as wooden cats and wooden armored actors, is already extremely wonderful, and after rumors, it will be even more magical. In this way, it will be very, very difficult for the people to make toys that surpass them. If there are toys that are inferior to theirs, they will not be able to present them to the upper class. They can only find another way, so it will promote the development of other aspects, and finally a hundred flowers will bloom."
Xinbao suddenly realized.
She thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she nodded vigorously and stretched out her little hand to pat his shoulder: "Master Tao, you are so smart! You are much smarter than...than Xinbao! You are really an amazing and smart adult."
Minister Tao smiled so hard that his teeth were almost exposed: "Your Highness, thank you for the compliment. Your Highness, thank you for the compliment. I am ashamed to accept it."
Actually, Minister Tao had never gotten along with Xinbao, so he could only try to speak to Xinbao like an adult based on rumors. What he said was more profound than what Emperor Mingpei and the others usually taught him, which made him seem particularly powerful.
In short, the two of them had a very pleasant conversation.
A little girl and an old man were sitting on a low box bed and talking non-stop. The scene was a little funny.
Yuan Shenjue watched from afar and whispered to Yan Shirong about the matter of Marquis Gongke.
Yan Shirong didn't care much.
First of all, given the current situation, they have no one else to rely on but me.
On the surface, they really can't do anything, and no fools will follow them, so it is very wise to give in.
Secondly, they deal with villains first and gentlemen later. Even if they can't do anything, they are afraid that they will make stupid moves. Therefore, Marquis Gongke and Marquis Gongshun are always under surveillance. Although they don't know how many concubines he has favored, at least they will know if he meets someone he shouldn't meet or if he does anything.
Therefore, he would rather believe that Marquis Gongke had thought it through, so he was showing his loyalty in a subtle way. If Yan Qingshan ascended to the throne in the future, he would naturally be kind to him, and that would be enough for him.
As for the idiot couple of the Marquis Gongshun, what can I say? If there was only one person like this, they might have to hold their noses and show some favor, but now there is the Duke of Duanhe, and the Marquis Gongke who can show favor, then this couple... I just don't show favor, so what? ?
The two chatted slowly.
Someone came in hurriedly, reported to Yan Qingshan, and came out and said to Yan Shirong: "Your Highness, the Dali Temple Minister is here to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Yan Shirong asked: "What's wrong?"
The eunuch said, "It seems that the people have captured some strange people."
Yan Shirong was at a loss: "The people arrested a few strange people, what does that mean?"
As he asked, he went in and waited to hear Sun Changming's report.
You know, this Wooden Bird Society... yes, not only Xinbao, but people outside also call it the Wooden Bird Society.
In short, not many people go into the Mu Niao Club, but there are a lot of people watching outside. After coming out, everyone is a star, and they are surrounded by people and listen to what happens inside.
These people love to go to this kind of place, and most of them are gossipy, so they immediately talk to others with great excitement.
Everyone exclaimed in amazement and were extremely envious. After they left, they were still talking about it.
As a result, someone said: "To put it bluntly, they are just toys. There is a saying that toys can ruin one's ambition. Do you know that? The little princess was originally a god in medicine and was born only for medicine. If she indulges in these toys and loses her ambition, it will not be a good thing for the world..."
People who heard it felt that there was some truth in it, and some people argued with him, but this man did not argue either. He just acted as if everyone else was drunk and he was the only one sober, and then left after he finished speaking.
Marquis Gongke happened to be there and felt something was wrong, so he secretly sent someone to notify the Dali Temple nearby.
As a result, before the people from Dali Temple arrived, one of them met a group of princess fans.
Although Chen Sande was a big fan, he was a man without official title after all, so he couldn't get in even if he wanted to. So a group of princess fans pooled money to give one of the second-generation rich men in. While they were listening to his story, someone came and made such a fart.
A group of bearded fans immediately started to complain: "Who do you think you are? Do you think you have the right to talk nonsense about the affairs of gods?"
So a conflict arose.
The second generation of the family had some experience, and suddenly said: "Could this person be a spy? Otherwise, why does he speak so strangely? His tone is also weird!!"
The man said anxiously: "I am from another place, I am from Xuzhou."
"Tsk," the second generation said disdainfully, "You just open your mouth and say where you are from. You are trying to cover up your true identity!!"
When everyone heard this, they agreed and without further ado, they beat the man up, tied him up, and then dispersed spontaneously, shouting everywhere looking for the spy.
The ancient version of Chaoyang Masses is still very powerful, and the human eye is the identifier.
There is a news that "Palace Jade Liquor" can catch spies... Now it is even more so! There are many people who speak Mandarin in the capital, but when the old Beijingers really speak Beijing dialect, the spies don't listen! Don't! Understand! !
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
So the people in the capital spread the news around them and discussed how to arrest them, but they still had no idea what was going on.
By the time the Dali Temple arrived, the people had already tied up several people, all of whom were beaten black and blue.
They couldn't remember all the words that the princess fans had said. Their judgment criteria were very simple. Anyway, anyone who said that the little princess was wrong was a spy! Because the little princess couldn't be wrong!
Whatever the little princess does is right! Everyone in Dayan knows it! ! Dali Temple: “…”
Sun Changming hurried in to report first, and the interrogation was already going on over there.
Yan Shirong was amused by what he heard. He asked him to speed up the trial and sent a gift to the Marquis Gongke's Mansion in the name of the prince.
Honestly, the political sensitivity of the Duke of Gongke is really good! ! Because the people were extremely concerned, the Dali Temple opened a trial overnight. The key point is that during the trial, two more people were brought in.
The power of the people is so terrifying.
Seven people were arrested in total. After interrogation, it was found that four of them were spies. As for the remaining three, some were eager to show off and liked to have different opinions from others; some were simply jealous and wondered why a child could be so glorious... They all suffered a lot.
Sun Changming was not going to let them go so quickly. He had to interrogate them thoroughly. Maybe they were spies who were better hidden?
Early in the morning, the Dali Temple posted a notice. Countless people came to read it, listened to the scholar reading and explaining it, and ran away satisfied, so that they could quickly find someone to brag to.
Especially for those who have personally participated in it, it is such an honor and you can really brag about it for half your life.
Sun Changming reported to the court early in the morning, and had to report in detail again after the court session.
Emperor Mingpei and Yan Qingshan all had expressions that were difficult to describe.
It's not that it's bad, in fact it's very good. It's just that since Xinbao came into being, even though it's a very serious matter, it's always resolved so dramatically in the end that they can't really be serious anymore.
Moreover, it is conceivable that once the masses have this awareness... the spies will have nowhere to hide, and even those who are jealous will not dare to speak out, for fear of being caught as spies.
