My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare! Chapter 641 - 389 Phoenix’s Intelligence3
He casually asked, "Has there been anything interesting in Chang’an recently? Has the Minister of Justice made any moves?"
The effeminate man shook his head and said, "Li Xuanjing hasn’t made any moves, but his son, however, has done quite a few things..."
King Rui was imdiately intrigued and said, "Tell ."
The effeminate man said, "Many people from the Six Great Families have co down with a mysterious illness that even the Imperial Physicians are helpless against, but Li Nuo is the only one who can cure it. To have Li Nuo treat the illness, the Six Great Families have helped him capture many corrupt officials and cunning citizens, and have even printed Li Nuo’s works to please him..."
King Rui said, "Just as expected from the son of the Minister of Justice. I’ve read his dical book; it’s the most straightforward and accessible among all dical books on the continent, and many theories in it are groundbreaking, never ntioned in previous dical books..."
The effeminate man continued, "After returning to Chang’an, he seems to be preparing to establish a new watchdog system. Moreover, the Ministry of Industry has received orders from the Secretariat to create a new paper-making and printing chanism, said to greatly reduce the cost of book printing. People we have in the Secretariat say he intends to establish more academies locally, apparently to allow children to attend for free..."
King Rui nodded in strong agreent and said, "Reading makes one wise. Reading is good; read more to have wider opportunities in the future..."
Unsure of what he thought of suddenly, his brows suddenly raised.
King Rui closed the ancient book in his hand and said, "Bring Li Nuo’s dossier of the past year."
Although King Rui hadn’t participated in court affairs this year, many institutions of the King Rui Mansion were still operating normally, creating dedicated dossiers for important figures in court, docunting all their actions.
The effeminate man quickly brought out a thick dossier.
Over the past year, Li Nuo had done many things, making his dossier the thickest among all.
King Rui took the dossier and looked through it page by page, reading from day to night.
It wasn’t until it was completely dark that King Rui slowly closed the dossier, pondering so matters in his heart.
Apart from helping him catch corrupt officials and cunning citizens, cultivating Legalism, the Six Great Families also helped him print his works.
Li Nuo isn’t a fa-seeker; otherwise, he wouldn’t have anonymously sent so many poems to the Jade Sound Pavilion Phoenix girl back then.
He had the Ministry of Industry improve paper-making and printing techniques, reducing the cost of books.
He also wants to establish more academies locally, offering free education to Daxia’s children.
After his departure, several coincidental cases occurred within Bing State.
How was it so coincidental that people from the Six Great Families contracted an epidemic, and only he could cure it?
These pieces of information kept intertwining in his mind.
After an unknown amount of silence, King Rui suddenly raised his head and murmured, "Could it be that the School of Calligraphy truly exists!"
The effeminate man didn’t hear clearly what he said and asked, "What did Your Highness say?"
King Rui lowered his head and said, "Nothing, nothing..."
He picked up the book "Various Wild Talk" again, which recorded many unconventional abilities, such as how the Foodie could gather the sharpest blades in the world, the Thief School could not only steal objects but also heart and life, the School of Calligraphy could write others’ destinies with a single pen, deciding their life and death...
From these various matters, he deduced that Li Nuo was highly likely cultivating in the School of Calligraphy.
Li Nuo’s dical book was a bestseller across nations, and poetry collections were sold out, eting the entry conditions for the School of Calligraphy.
However, he didn’t tell anyone about this matter, for he understood the terror of the School of Calligraphy, fearing that Li Nuo would know he knew his secret and write him dead with a single sentence...
Even if he doesn’t write him dead, arranging so bizarre stories for him was also concerning...
anwhile, deep into the night, at King Gong Mansion.
A small banquet was quietly unfolding.
King Gong sat at the head position, with three low tables on each side.
Behind each low table stood figures whose identities, while not critical ministers of the court, could not be underestimated.
The six individuals were from the Six Great Families of Daxia, since the failure of King Han and King You, with King Rui remaining secluded in his mansion, King Gong had beco the sole choice of the Six Great Families.
King Gong drank a cup of wine and exhaled a long breath.
He had remained dormant for twenty years, finally waiting for this day.
The person he originally saw as his greatest rival, King Rui, for so unknown reason, had willingly given up. It was best this way, allowing him to concentrate all his energy on King Chun.
King Chun seed to be at the height of his power, yet in truth at his side there was only Li Xuanjing.
Without Li Xuanjing, he was nothing.
Even with Li Xuanjing, his prestige was only a façade.
The Six Great Families of Daxia stood firmly behind him, even against the Father Emperor, what could be done?
When the ti cos, if the Father Emperor wishes to be dignified, then he shall be dignified.
If the Father Emperor wishes not to be dignified, he can still be aided to dignity...
King Chun Mansion.
The night was deep, yet King Chun had not yet fallen asleep.
When the King Mansion guard took a break, he hunted a deer in the mountains, knowing that he liked deer at, and brought it back.
Deer at was indeed delicious, but it had a unique gay taste that required careful preparation to remove, hence he was awake so late.
While there were countless delicacies throughout the world, deer at was hardly considered top-tier cuisine.
Yet for him, deer at held special aning.
Sixteen years ago during spring hunting, Xuanjing gave him a deer as prey.
He was the Sixt Subjects’ Scholar, skilled in archery, capturing nurous prey, the most among all hunters during the spring hunt. A re young deer might have been trivial for him, but it ant everything to his young self.
That deer was the best tasting he has had to this day.
Over the years, his culinary skills had advanced enormously, and he had tasted many deer, but none matched the taste of that one gifted by Xuanjing...
He placed a bucket of deer blood into the ice vault.
In recent months, the hair at Xuanjing’s temples had grown so white strands; he should prepare a dish of deer blood soup for him tomorrow to revitalize him...
