Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading - Chapter 76

The past seven days have been a difficult one for the people of Daxuan.

Since ancient times, which literati did not focus on writing articles in one go, and which Confucian scholar did not focus on being transparent and flawless in his learning.

　　But Lord of Wan An came up with a new trick – serialization!

　　It doesn’t matter if the story is badly written, the problem is–

　　It’s so good!

　　The rarest thing is that the article does not have the restriction on reading talents, which is simply giving every citizen great joy.

　　Compared with Confucian scholars, the masses are even crazier about it.

　　Because they found that there is no Confucianism, no Taoism, and no Buddha in Lord of Wan An’s story.

　　It’s about ordinary people.

　　It is about the extraordinary ability that they can also obtain – internal power!

　　So, the sense of substitution is bursting!

　　According to rumors, Lord of Wan An was in a a for six days in order to write this elegant essay and only woke up last night.

　　No wonder it can only be released every seven days, it turns out that Lord of Wan An’s body couldn’t bear it.

　　Lord of Wan An, what a good man!

　　Of course, thinking about it this way is not bad, but they still have to continue calling him the “shame of the literati” with their mouths!

　　Not for anything else, but for the atmosphere!

　　Compared with Lord of Wan An, the “shame of the literati”, the little newsboys who sang along the street and sold newspaper songs have simply bee the new darling of the central capital. Anyone who buys the newspaper will tip them with a small piece of silver, or three or two candied fruit as a reward. However, there are local gangsters who are greedy for the new newspapers in the pockets of the newsboys and want to take advantage of them, but before the city guards can take action, the gangsters were already tied up by the angry crowd and paraded through the streets, then sent to the government!

　　In just a few days, during the time of ‘wake up early’, if one couldn’t hear the crisp “La La La” singing in the market-filled hawking, one will feel that something was missing.

　　…

　　”La la la, la la la, I’m a little connoisseur of newspaper sales. I run around the streets in strong winds and rain, screaming as I run. Today’s civilian newspaper is really good. I don’t know who the senior brother is…”

　　The crisp singing was sung again in Zhongjing City, and the citizens who had been waiting for a long time rushed up, and those with sharp ears heard that the last sentence of the newsboy’s lyrics was changed.

　　”Eldest brother? What senior brother? Is it the new content of this update?”

　　”Never mind, buy it first!”

　　”Let’s do it all, don’t crowd the children! Go to the sales point to buy if you can’t buy from here!”

　　”Why don’t you go? Someone said that the newspapers sold by newsboys have more effect because they are all children adopted by the Lord of Wan An!”

　　…

　　Beiqing Street.

　　Sitting in the carriage going to the sales point, Cheng Difei rubbed her sore wrist. Yesterday, the academy suddenly announced that the number of copies of “Daxuan People’s Daily” would rise to 100,000 copies, but it was too late to gather more classmates, so Cheng Diefei and the others were busy all night. Just the Huiqi Pill that the college sent down to replenish their True Noble Qi was enough to stretch all their stomachs.

　　”I heard that the academies in other prefectures gave Wenchang Pavilion a school announcement, and asked them to act as their agent for the regional distribution of “Daxuan People’s Daily”, all imitating the regulations of the eight major academies in Beijing.” Liu Mengrui held her cheeks and sighed, “Lord of Wan An, really amazing…”

　　Cheng Diefei blushed for no reason, and quickly changed the subject: “Yesterday, in the second update of Lord of Wan An, why did a senior brother suddenly appear. Meng Rui, what kind of person do you think he is?”

　　Liu Mengrui’s thinking was immediately distracted by Cheng Diefei, and she said, “Isn’t it said in the text? Even Lao De Nuo has to call him Senior Brother, he must be a very old master!”

　　”But that little junior sister clearly likes that senior brother very much, how can he be old? I guess he must be like Lord of Wan An, a handsome young man!”

　　Liu Mengrui stuck out her tongue: “That’s not what he said. My father said that a steed carries a demented man, and a clever woman often sleeps with this husband…”

　　”Aiya!” Cheng Diefei stomped his feet, “What does Liu Great Scholar teach you every day!”

　　Just as Liu Mengrui was about to answer, they saw that the sales point had been surrounded on its three floors inside and outside. Liu Mengrui shouted “Not good”, and quickly released Tue Noble Qi, a cloud of blue light protected her chest. Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at – “ ”

　　Cheng Diefei was taken aback: “Meng Rui, what are you doing?”

　　Liu Mengrui: “Didn’t you see so many people? What if there are salty pig hands? I have to take protective measures!”

　　Cheng Diefei’s eyes fell on the ** shrouded in thick blue light, and she smiled bitterly in her heart: “You…doesn’t that make it more conspicuous?”

　　…

　　Changming Palace.

　　The emperor was about to do his morning audience, and all officials are standing in their respective positions.

　　Just waiting for the first eunuch Hou An to shout “Something to announce”, and the battle horn will start.

　　It’s just that today is a little different. Ye Heng gave Hou An a wink, and Hou An waved his hand. Suddenly, dozens of little eunuchs took the newly released “Daxuan People’s Daily” to the hall and distributed it to the court officials.

　　”Your Majesty has a decree!” Hou An stepped forward at this time, “Lord of Wan An will set up the” “Daxuan People’s Daily”, on which the sages of the world are concerned about the affairs of the world. The ancient sages said: Review the old and know the new. So, early in the morning, before the morning audience, read the newspaper and discuss the gains and losses of the policies from the past seven days. That’s all!”

　　The hundred ministers were surprised, and the Prime Minister Zhou Zuofeng frowned, and was about to go forward to plain, Ye Heng said: “Everyone, the people’s newspaper in your hands is a special offering of Wenchang Pavilion! In addition to the content that the people can see, I also plan to make some special invitations. A group of veterans and scholars in the field will ment on it, and as officials, they must read the morning paper  as we will use it as a reference for our discussion!”

　　Hearing Ye Heng’s words, Zhou Zuofeng quickly retracted the half foot he had stepped out.

　　Just kidding, if you object to this, you will be sprayed to death by those senior officials and Confucian scholars in the wild!

　　”Okay, let’s read the newspaper first…” Ye Heng took the civilian newspaper from Hou An and found that Hou An had adjusted the order of the newspaper. The first page was the second issue of the recently updated “Swordsman”. The editorial in the front has been placed in the back.

　　Well, the head of eunuchs chosen has to be considerate such as this guy!

　　Inside the Changming Palace, there was silence, and all the officials read the newspapers in front of them. It’s just that everyone turned a few pages inadvertently…

　　Hundreds of officials rule the world, with one report and they know about gains and losses.

　　This scene, later generations praised: “Reading during the morning audience”

　　…

　　”We can go home!” Chen Luo stretched his back, overcame the cognitive barrier described by the fourth senior brother, Chen Luo suddenly felt that the world in front of him was a little fresher. Returning to the Earl’s Mansion again, what he thought in his mind was no longer to go back to the mansion, but to go home.

　　Of course, in addition to Ji Zhong, Lu Tong and his fourth senior brother Song Tuizhi were with him.

　　Needless to say, Lu Tong naturally was brought back to help him manage the inside and outside of the Earl’s Mansion. In the past, only he and Ji Zhong lived here, that’s why they can be carefree, but since Chen Xuan was to be brought over, he had to make it look like a home.

　　As for the fourth senior brother who fell from the sky, Chen Luo secretly asked Wei Yan, only to learn that this great scholar also has three levels, namely, the realm of Phenomena Observation, A Straw Shows Which Way the Wind Blows Realm, and Righteous Heart Realm. He, Wei Yan has just been promoted to the realm of Phenomena Observation, which belongs to the lowest level. The half-faced scholar Su Liancheng, who was coaxed into the Confucian Temple last time, is in the realm of, A Straw Shows Which Way the Wind Blows Realm, and his fourth senior brother is a long-time veteran of the Righteous Heart Realm.

　　Moreover, he was still able to condense a literary heart and walk out with a Righteous Heart Realm that belonged to his own way.

　　The Four Ministers of Daxuan are nothing but also in this realm.

　　What kind of sturdy thighs are these, they’re simply pillars of white clouds through the sky, a zig-zag beam in the sea!

　　So Chen Luo easily crossed Wei Yan off his list of thighs, planning to get a fourth senior brother specialization!

　　He just doesn’t know what this fourth senior brother likes.

　　Otherwise, he’ll just have to work hard later and write “Laughing in the Wind” a few more times for him to read.

　　It’s just that Chen Luo didn’t know that Song Tuizhi was also unhappy at the moment.

　　He was originally intending to find a suitable opportunity to appear and show the majesty of a fourth senior brother.

　　Unexpectedly, the younger brother fell into a cognitive barrier, and he had to show himself.

　　But at this time, the senior brother actually picked this time to send the Bone Pill!

　　Writing it off as “Picked it up” nonchalantly.

　　It’s like making a splash in the heart of the younger brother!

　　I lost another move!

　　No, I have to find a way to win it back.

　　Just as the two of them were measuring in their hearts, a gentle voice sounded.

　　”Chen Little Friend, I heard that you fell into the barrier of perception, and now you have broken through the barrier, that’s something to congratulate… Why not…” A figure slowly emerged from the void, but when the person looked up, he saw Song Tui who had just gotten off the carriage. Then, his face changed and he took a step back.

　　”Song… Mr. Song? Why are you still here?”
