Chapter 52: Ying Zheng is annoyed by Zhao Yi's interruption
When Ying Zheng saw the names of "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" and "The Butterfly Lovers", he muttered, "Why does this guy write love stories all day long?"
"Isn't he going to make me the villain again?"
Although he was muttering to himself.
But Ying Zheng would still read the stories written by Zhao Yi.
Although the story of Meng Jiangnu was a curse on Ying Zheng, he still thought the story was good.
It's several levels better than the stories performed in the palace.
So Ying Zheng decided to send someone to revise the story of Meng Jiangnu and then perform it again.
Change your own image from a negative role to a positive role.
Start by modifying the plot in the story of Meng Jiangnu, where she cries down the Great Wall.
Remove the plot of crying down the Great Wall.
It was changed to Meng Jiangnu crying loudly when she couldn't find her lover at the Great Wall.
This alarmed Emperor Qin Shi Huang, who was inspecting the Great Wall.
After listening to Meng Jiangnu's story, Ying Zheng was deeply moved and sent people to help find Meng Jiangnu's lover.
Finally, they found each other, and Meng Jiangnu married her lover in the presence of Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng announced that from now on the corvée system would be abolished and taxes would be greatly reduced.
Yes, Ying Zheng planned to take the opportunity to announce the abolition of the corvee system by performing the Meng Jiangnu drama in various places.
This is to win over the hearts of the people and improve their image among the people.
If Zhao Yi knew that his scumbag father changed the story of Meng Jiangnu like this, he would probably kick him a few times.
But he wouldn't know.
Because this play will be performed in various places next year.
"Ah~ I didn't expect a love story to be so touching."
After watching "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", Ying Zheng was quite emotional.
"Then Zhu Yingtai's family really deserves to die. The Zhu family's arranged marriage system is not desirable."
Ying Zheng planned to talk to officials about changing the Qin marriage system. At least the arranged marriage system should not be promoted.
Ying Zheng continued to read the next story "Cowherd and Weaver Girl".
"Wow, this cowherd is so lucky. He can marry a fairy by hiding a piece of clothing. But it says in the book that one day in heaven is one year on earth. Can't it be true?" Ying Zheng asked doubtfully.
"Why does Zhao Yi know so much about the heavens? Is he a celestial being like the Weaver Girl?"
……
"Tsk tsk tsk, Xu Xian is so pedantic and cowardly. All Confucianists are like this. But in the end he accompanied Bai Suzhen under the Leifeng Pagoda, which is fair to Bai Suzhen." Ying Zheng commented after watching "The Legend of White Snake".
He thought to himself.
"By the way, Xu Xian can even have sex with snakes. So what does it feel like to be a snake spirit? Don't think about it."
“Color is emptiness, emptiness is color, emptiness and color must be clearly distinguished” Ying Zheng recited a line from “The Legend of the White Snake”.
He felt that the line was full of philosophy, and as soon as he recited it, many of the distracting thoughts in his mind disappeared.
"But does the magical herb Ganoderma lucidum that can bring people back to life mentioned in this story really exist? Where is the Nanji Immortal? That kid doesn't even know how to write it."
"Also, the description of the heaven there is so realistic. There must really be a heaven in the sky."
Ying Zheng thought about it, and then he continued to read the next story, the chapter about havoc in heaven in Journey to the West.
As he read on, Ying Zheng discovered that this article was different from the others.
This is not a love story, but a story about gods and demons with a clever monkey as the protagonist. The more Ying Zheng read, the more fascinated he became. The story of "Journey to the West" deeply attracted him.
When seeing Sun Wukong learning martial arts at Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Ying Zheng was amazed by his seventy-six transformations.
When seeing Sun Wukong drawing the Book of Life and Death in the underworld, Ying Zheng was wondering whether the King of Hell and the Book of Life and Death really existed, and how much life he had left as recorded in the Book of Life and Death.
When Ying Zheng saw Sun Wukong being bullied in the Heavenly Palace, he felt indignant for him.
"Great! Great Monkey King Sun Wukong! He is determined to overthrow the Heavenly Court and stop being bullied!" When Sun Wukong returned to the Flower-Fruit Mountain and raised his flag to shake the sky
Ying Zheng shouted excitedly.
The sound alarmed the eunuch on duty outside.
The eunuch was very puzzled as to who the man called Sun Wukong was and how he could be praised by His Majesty.
"Sun Wukong is so powerful that even a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers can't stop him. The Emperor of Heaven is so blind that he doesn't even value a man like Sun Wukong. If it were me, I would have appointed Sun Wukong as a general long ago." Ying Zheng commented again.
"No way, who is this Buddha? He can actually suppress the Monkey King!" Ying Zheng was very surprised to see Sun Wukong being suppressed by the Buddha.
"Hey, is this the end? Where's the rest? Why doesn't this guy want to write anymore? He's not a eunuch."
Ying Zheng was very upset because Zhao Yi suddenly interrupted the passage.
He really wanted to know how the plot of "Journey to the West" would develop later.
Did Sun Wukong really come out of the Five Finger Mountain?
He was really itching to find out what happened next and wanted to take a bus to find Zhao Yi to ask him about the story.
But he gave up because he thought that this would expose the fact that he had sent people to monitor Zhao Yi.
Ying Zheng began to divert his attention.
"The description of the Heaven in Journey to the West is so detailed that it feels just like the real thing. Could it be that there is really a Heaven above my head right now?"
"Three of the stories are about that heaven. Zhao Yi knows a lot about the gods in that heaven. Could he really be a god from heaven who has descended to earth?" Ying Zheng guessed.
After all, Zhao Yi established a very real mythological system in these stories, and it would be impossible to make up stories so complete.
There is heaven above and hell below, and one day in heaven is one year on earth. Ying Zheng even suspected that this was the reason why he could not find the immortal.
Little did Ying Zheng know that these stories about Zhao Yi were the cultural essence of thousands of years, and they were passed down only because they were good stories.
The setting of the Heavenly Palace has only become complete as different people have repaired and improved it over time, making it seem as if it were real.
After Ying Zheng calmed down, he continued to read on.
After he saw the reasons why Zhao Yi wrote these stories.
My mood, which had just calmed down, is now in turmoil.
Zhao Yi, no way.
You wrote these great stories.
The purpose is still to rebel?
Why on earth are you so obsessed with rebellion?
It’s fine if you’re persistent, but why are you so skilled at rebelling?
He is obviously only three years old!
But Zhao Yi was so skilled that it didn't look like this was his first rebellion.
Could it be that you are a rebellious deity from heaven who has come down to earth?
If Zhao Yi heard Ying Zheng's inner voice, he would say that these were the wisdom passed down by their ancestors.
Ying Zheng had to admit that these stories of Zhao Yi could really provide help for the rebellion.
These stories will really subtly plant the seeds of resistance among the people.
After all, even Ying Zheng himself couldn't help but cheer for Sun Wukong when he was watching the story of Havoc in Heaven, and he also felt that the Heavenly Palace was indeed going to be overthrown.
