Chapter 548: Falsification of History
Emperor Xuan looked at the Ninth Princess speechlessly.
"How can we take the miscellany of unofficial history seriously?"
If it were official history, the civil and military officials would have nothing to say. After all, Emperor Taizu had done this... He was imitating Emperor Taizu by doing this.
But unofficial history is simply not trustworthy.
The Ninth Princess muttered: "Official history is not necessarily true. Official history is written by the victors... Unofficial history is not necessarily false."
Emperor Xuan looked helpless.
Eunuch Quan hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't hold it back, "Your Majesty, unofficial history can also be turned into official history."
Emperor Xuan frowned, "What do you mean?"
Quan Gong said fairly: "Your Majesty, the historian from Emperor Taizu's time has been dead for hundreds of years. If you secretly add this story to the annals of history, no one will know whether it is true or false?"
"You are so presumptuous!" Emperor Xuan was furious, "You bitch, you are so brave, how dare you let me tamper with the annals of history?"
Father-in-law Quan was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a plop, sweat pouring from his forehead.
"This old slave deserves to die, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Emperor Xuan snorted coldly, "There is no need to mention this matter again. Huai'an, you should go back first. Don't mention this matter to anyone."
Seeing that Emperor Xuan was angry, the Ninth Princess did not dare to stay any longer, "My son, please leave!"
Then he slipped away quickly.
Emperor Xuan looked at the door, and then said: "You bitch, get up!"
Father-in-law Quan hurriedly got up.
Emperor Xuan narrowed his eyes and stared at him, "Quansheng, with your skills, can you sneak into Wenyuan Pavilion quietly?"
Father-in-law Quan looked astonished.
"Huai'an was here just now, how could I agree? Once discovered, tampering with the history books will be a stain that cannot be washed away... If it is known that Huai'an knew about it and did not report it, those historians may not know what to write in the history books. Where is she?"
"Those historians are more stubborn and pedantic than the officials. If you let them tamper with the history books, they will definitely die in front of me... Therefore, I need you to sneak into Wenyuan Pavilion quietly and add the story told by Huai'an."
Eunuch Quan hurriedly leaned over and said, "Old slave, you can!"
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Do it beautifully."
"Old slave obeys the order!"
"Be careful and don't get discovered!"
Emperor Xuan warned worriedly.
...
The Ninth Princess returned to Luohuang Palace.
The eldest prince hurriedly greeted him, "How about it? Father, can you accept it?"
The Ninth Princess shook her head, "Don't mention it, my father will be furious when he hears that he is a wild history."
"this???"
The eldest prince sighed helplessly.
Princess Ninth's eyes flickered, and she suddenly lowered her voice and said, "How about we quietly write this story into the annals of history?"
The eldest prince was startled.
"Huai'an, please don't mess around...tampering with history is a serious crime. If those historians find out, we will be infamy for thousands of years."
"Besides, Wenyuan Pavilion is heavily guarded and there is no way to sneak in."
The Ninth Princess looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, listlessly.
"Then what should I do? My father is so anxious that he gets angry and has blisters on his mouth."
The eldest prince thought for a moment and said, "If I go to court tomorrow, please ask my father to recall Ning Chen."
The Ninth Princess shook her head, "Don't do it... Although my father left you in the capital, he did not give you power. You cannot set foot in the court at all."
"Besides, how could the civil and military officials not guess what my father was thinking, but they just didn't say anything... because whoever said anything would be scolded."
"It is indeed inappropriate for Ning Chen to come back, both emotionally and rationally... If you remonstrate rashly, those officials will have to force my father to drive you back to the imperial mausoleum."
The eldest prince sighed helplessly.
...
As for Ning Chen, he was so drunk that he went back to the inn to sleep.
Little did he know that Emperor Xuan, the eldest prince, and the ninth princess were wringing their hands and trying to find reasons to summon him back to the capital.
He slept until dawn.
Feel refreshed.
After washing up, Ning Chen went downstairs to have breakfast without disturbing Pan Yucheng and others. Everyone drank a lot last night.
Anyway, it's okay now, let them sleep a little longer.
Ning Chen went shopping alone and bought a lot of gadgets.
Bought some books for Chen Chong's two children.
Then I bought some jewelry for Zisu and Yudie.
When he returned to the inn, everyone was up.
"Wait a minute, what's wrong with your faces?"
Gao Ziping, Feng Qizheng, and Chen Chong kept covering their faces with their sleeves.
Ning Chen pressed Feng Qizheng's arm and was dumbfounded, seeing that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
Gao Ziping and Chen Chong are the same.
At this time, Lin Ying walked in with two children.
The three of them were like mice seeing a cat. They quickly covered their faces with their sleeves and sat on the chairs with their heads lowered, not daring to say a word.
Lin Ying glanced at the three of them and snorted coldly, making them tremble in fear.
Immediately, his eyes fell on Ning Chen, "Xiao Chen, were you there last night?"
"Where are you going? Yixiaolou? Isn't everyone there?"
Lin Ying said with a straight face, "I mean Jiaofang Secretary... I went to call you for breakfast just now and found that you were not in the room."
"Ah?" Ning Chen looked at Feng Qizheng and the others, "You three went to the Jiaofang Department?"
"Sister-in-law, I didn't go... I got up early and went to the street to buy some things."
Ning Chen quickly took out a box, "This honey jade sheep oil ointment is for you. It's freezing cold and the climate is dry. Applying it on your hands can keep your skin moist."
"By the way, there are also these books, which are suitable for children to study. They are for two children."
A smile appeared on Lin Ying's face, "Thank you, Xiaochen, then my sister-in-law won't be polite to you!"
"They are all members of our own family, so being polite would be disrespectful!"
Lin Ying took care of them all the way. She often touched ice water when cooking, and her hands were chapped.
Lin Ying's eyes fell on Feng Qizheng and the other two, "Look at Xiaochen, and then look at you... You are lustful and not doing your job properly. Why don't you learn something from Xiaochen?"
The three of them nodded like good kids, promising to learn from Ning Chen.
"You three, look how angry your sister-in-law is..." Ning Chen was suddenly stunned, "Sister-in-law, I understand that you are angry about Lao Chen going to the Jiaofangsi, but Lao Feng and Lao Gao have not married, so it is understandable for them to go to the Jiaofangsi, right?"
Lin Ying said angrily: "It was the two of them who dragged my Lao Chen there."
Feng Qizheng and Gao Ziping felt very wronged, because it was obviously Chen Chong who proposed it.
But they didn't dare to say it, because if they did, Chen Chong would die.
"Sister-in-law, calm down. I'll teach them a lesson." Ning Chen pointed at Feng Qizhen and Gao Ziping, "You two, just go by yourselves next time. Don't always drag Lao Chen with you, okay?"
Gao Ziping nodded repeatedly, "I swear, I will never go with Lao Chen again."
Feng Qizhen said, "Me too!"
Lao Chen is a bastard. He doesn't pay every time he goes, and he also makes them get beaten... It's better not to have this brother, unless he pays next time and calls them his godfather.
Just then, Jiang Zhengyang came.
"Sister-in-law, calm down. Lord Jiang invited us to eat Hu Ji's sandwiches today... Let me tell you, Lingzhou's sandwiches are unique, especially Hu Ji's. The business is booming. If you go too late, you won't be able to eat them."
