Chapter 163 These banned books must be criticized!
The eunuch Zheng Yao, the chief eunuch of the Imperial Household Department, and the chief eunuch Wu Qing.
They were all completely shocked by Li Changsheng's previous thundering methods.
Based on the fence-sitting principle of "join if you can't beat them", they have naturally become his lackeys now.
When they saw Li Changsheng coming, they all hurried out to greet him.
He was almost bowing down and kneeling to welcome his adoptive father.
I was afraid that if I neglected it, I would follow in Sun Yang's footsteps.
"Manager Li, why are you here?"
"Haha, Eunuch Zheng, you're asking a really clever question. I'm the chief eunuch of the Internal Affairs Bureau, so why can't I come here?"
Hearing Li Changsheng's sneer, Zheng Yao was almost scared to death.
He was stunned for a moment, then realized that there were indeed some problems with his question, so he quickly went back to make up for it.
"Eunuch Li, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that you can rest assured that Eunuch Wu and I are in charge of the Internal Affairs Office!"
Looking at Zheng Yao, who was already sweating profusely from anxiety, Li Changsheng smiled indifferently.
"Then it's hard work for you!"
"During my absence, nothing went wrong with the Internal Affairs Department, right?"
Zheng Yao shook his head repeatedly: "No, everything is peaceful!"
Li Changsheng said, "That's good. Thank you for your hard work. Here are twenty taels of silver as a reward for tea!"
Zheng Yao and Wu Qing were both stunned when they saw the silver that Li Changsheng handed over.
The two looked at each other, and neither dared to step forward to take it.
"Butler Li, this is all part of our job, it's not hard!"
Wu Qing also hurriedly agreed, "Yes, Manager Li, it's just part of your job, so why would you say it's hard work?"
Li Changsheng smiled and praised: "Not bad, you are aware!"
"Just for your awareness, you deserve this silver as a reward!"
After saying that, without waiting for Wu Qing, Zheng Yao and the others to refuse, Li Changsheng forced the silver into their hands.
Zheng Yao and Wu Qing, seeing that Li Changsheng did not seem to be pretending, did not refuse anymore. They all looked flattered and thanked him repeatedly.
The reward of twenty taels of silver was not much for them.
But its symbolic meaning is far greater than its practical meaning.
After a brief chat, Li Changsheng turned the topic to business.
"Let's go to the library and look for some ancient books. You all can go and do your own thing. You don't have to accompany me!"
Seeing that there was no one around, Wu Qing stepped forward mysteriously and said:
"Manager Li, we recently sent a batch of banned books. Are you interested?"
Generally speaking, when local authorities seized a batch of banned books, they would send a batch of samples to the library in the capital before burning them.
Banned books can be roughly divided into three categories.
Making irresponsible comments about state affairs and criticizing the court and government offices is politically-related.
**Speech that encourages people to rebel and the like is related to organized crime.
Obscene lyrics and music, as well as nude photos that are immoral, are pornographic.
A eunuch like Wu Qing would naturally not have the slightest interest in banned books involving gangs and politics.
What's more, books involving gangs and politics are mostly filled with reflections and metaphors, and are written in a very obscure way.
Even a semi-illiterate person like him may not be able to understand it.
Therefore, there is only one banned book that can make him so excited.
Pornographic!
And it is a superb work with beautiful illustrations.
Even those with many words are rarely read.
Although eunuchs are castrated, their six senses are not pure and their four elements are empty.
Even though there is no physical need between men and women, they still find spiritual comfort.
Otherwise, the phenomenon of eating together would not be popular among eunuchs and palace maids.
Last time, Wu Qing saw Manager Li secretly taking away two banned books with beautiful illustrations.
He naturally assumed that Manager Li also liked this dish like himself.
So, Wu Qing took advantage of his position and secretly hid some of these fine banned books, intending to present them to General Manager Li in order to win his favor.
Li Changsheng deliberately kept a straight face and said seriously, "Eunuch Wu, is such a filthy thing worthy of insulting our eyes?"
"Pack them all up! When I get back, I'll definitely give this soul-destroying, rubbish a serious critique!"
Wu Qing was stunned at first, but then he was impressed by Li Changsheng's "noble character" and agreed repeatedly:
"Manager Li is right. This kind of soul-destroying banned book must be thoroughly criticized!"
Li Changsheng ignored Wu Qing and walked straight into the library.
There are a vast number of books here.
The collection of books is estimated to be over a million volumes.
Fortunately, the Internal Affairs Inspector did a pretty good job in his daily work.
There is a very standardized classification index.
Li Changsheng found the book he wanted without much effort.
He picked out three books about Miao witchcraft and took them away, as they looked authoritative.
In this way, discrepancies in content can be verified with each other.
In addition, he also took away a large book that introduced the Dawu Dynasty and the topography and customs of various counties.
After taking away more than 30 books from the Internal Affairs Bureau, Li Changsheng returned to Beiyuan first.
After putting the books away, he planned to visit the East Factory.
Let’s see what’s going on with Cao Jixiang.
But when he passed by the Imperial Garden, his ears suddenly twitched.
There seemed to be some soft music coming from behind the secluded rockery.
He stood there for a while and decided to go over and take a look.
The back of the rockery:
"Yan'er, these are the lotus seeds I brought you from the imperial kitchen. They're even sweeter than the lotus seed soup the Empress Dowager usually eats. Come and try them!"
A eunuch carefully took out a handkerchief from his bosom, which contained a dozen large and round lotus seeds.
The palace maid named Yan'er took the lotus seed, put it in her mouth and tasted one.
The young eunuch asked, "Yan'er, are these lotus seeds sweet?"
Yan'er nodded: "Yeah, very sweet, thank you, Brother Fugui."
The eunuch known as Fugui was moved when he saw Yan'er laughing so hard that her body was shaking.
"Yan'er, no matter how sweet these lotus seeds are, they are not as sweet as your smile. I've been missing you so much lately. Come on, let me kiss you twice!"
As he spoke, he had an anxious expression on his face, and he couldn't wait to reach out, hug, kiss, and touch.
It seems that this is not the first time they have done this.
Yan'er said no with her mouth, but her body was very honest. She half-heartedly let Fugui's big hands wander back and forth on her body.
The little mouth was even pouted from the kiss.
From her intoxicated expression, it can be seen that she is enjoying it very much.
She has lived in the palace for many years and has not seen a man for ten years.
In addition, the Empress Dowager was moody, so the palace maids and eunuchs around her were on edge all the time.
He was afraid that if he was not careful or did not serve well enough, he would be beaten to death on the spot.
In order to relieve the tension and depression in her heart, she hooked up with the eunuch Zhang Fugui in the imperial kitchen and they became a couple.
Just as they were kissing passionately, Yan'er suddenly pushed Zhang Fugui away as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
Zhang Fugui was enjoying the kiss, but now he was suddenly pushed away by Yan'er, which made him feel very disappointed.
"Yan'er, why are you pushing me for no reason?"
Yan'er pointed behind him and said in a trembling voice:
"There's, there's, someone behind you!"
Zhang Fugui turned back instinctively.
When he saw a person showing two rows of small white teeth and smiling at him with interest.
His face was immediately filled with horror.
My legs suddenly went weak and I collapsed to the ground...
