The popularity of "The West Chamber" set off a frenzy of following the trend in the Chang'an bookshop community. At first, this trend of following the trend was limited to the entire bookshop circle. But later it completely went out of the circle. Basically, wine shops, teahouses and even all imaginable places were everywhere.

Mainly focusing on elements of The West Chamber.

The reason is naturally the same. West Chamber is so popular that as long as it can be closely related to West Chamber, it will become popular.

It’s not shabby to make money.

However, as long as something becomes popular, the negativity and negative impact of following the trend will make people become depressed.

The most obvious one is Liyuanxing.

Since Romance of the West Chamber was adapted into a play, major opera houses are also competing to perform this hit drama.

But everyone's taste is different.

The Romance of the West Chamber was created on the basis of the working masses, ordinary people. Its creative perspective determines that it will definitely satisfy the ordinary people. However, it is not very friendly to other classes, especially the ruling class.

The feudal ruling class may not notice anything when they first see it. But over time they will realize the problem.

The Romance of the West Chamber reveals the sharp contradiction between free love and feudal ethics, and criticizes the severe constraints of feudal ethics on human nature!

How could these well-educated feudal ruling classes not see this!

It might be fine if it were just about books, but with the addition of drama, the overall speed of communication would be faster and the scope of communication would be wider. For a time, all the talk in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City was about The West Chamber.

It's Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying.

From now on, the court could no longer ignore it.

Especially when Emperor Xianlong came back to his senses, he realized that he could no longer let The West Chamber become popular.

He finally found out who was behind it and dealt a heavy blow to The West Chamber.

Emperor Xianlong issued an order that all bookstores in Chang'an City are strictly prohibited from publishing any books related to The Romance of the West Chamber from now on. That means not only The Romance of the West Chamber itself cannot be printed, but also the extras, epilogues, prequels, epilogues, companion volumes, etc. of The Romance of the West Chamber cannot be printed.

If he is found out in the future, the bookstore will be shut down immediately, the bookstore will be taken over, and all the clerks will be sent to jail and the punishment will be severely punished.

For a time, the city of Chang'an was in a trembling state, and everyone was in danger.

Of course, Emperor Xianlong's attack on Romance of the West Chamber was not limited to the author, but a comprehensive suppression.

The severity of the suppression is unprecedented, and the intensity of the suppression is unprecedented.

The one that suffered the most serious damage was the Liyuan Group. The leaders of all the major Liyuan groups were taken away directly by the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion and thrown into prison for interrogation. The Liyuan group was leaderless for a while.

The show leader was absent, and Li Yuan Xing was banned from performing The West Chamber. The entire Li Yuan industry was in chaos.

Some West Chamber derivatives, such as dolls, blind boxes and other peripherals, have also been suppressed.

It can be said that this suppression of The West Chamber has been completely destroyed. It can be said that it is of an all-clear nature and an overwhelming nature.

And it was so sudden that people were not prepared at all.

After Wangcai learned the news, his eyes darkened and he was completely confused.

He had thought that Emperor Xianlong would not be the son of a man, but he never thought that this dog emperor would be such a dog and be so shameless.

This is simply not a way to survive.

I wrote a fairy tale, it became popular and was blocked.

I wrote another novel, Romance of the West Chamber, which became popular again, only to be blocked again.

Emperor Xianlong is sincerely opposing Brother Mingyun, right?

Could it be that Emperor Xianlong recognized that this book was written by Brother Mingyun?

Impossible, the styles of Liaozhai and Romance of the West Chamber are completely different.

If we judge only from the style, the two are completely unrelated.

If it were judged from other levels, it would be even more impossible.

Pen name? The pen name was renamed.

Wangcai was really on the verge of crying for a moment, and his first reaction was to find Zhao Xun and cry to him.

"Brother Ming Yun, have you heard? This is a catastrophe for The West Chamber and the entire related industry. After being affected by this, I am afraid that no one will be able to calm down for a while."

Zhao Xun smiled bitterly in his heart.

Once the imperial court takes action, it will not be a question of whether it will come over slowly, but a question of whether it can survive.

Judging from Wangcai's description just now, it can be said that this time the court was determined to completely ban The West Chamber.

Since then, The West Chamber is basically gone.

"At first, I thought The West Chamber would be popular for a long time, but I still underestimated Emperor Xianlong. I really made a mistake by not taking this factor into consideration."

Zhao Xun was helpless, Emperor Xianlong was simply his bane.

Basically, wherever Emperor Xianlong appears, Zhao Xun will be very miserable, and he will be restrained to death.

Zhao Xun felt confused for a while.

"Oh brother Mingyun, I still can't figure out what went wrong. Where did Emperor Xianlong get the clue and wanted to ban The West Chamber?"

Wangcai is puzzled by this.

In his opinion, he had done everything perfectly, and it was natural that he should not be noticed by the court or Emperor Xianlong.

But judging from the facts and results, everything seemed to be as expected by Emperor Xianlong.

"I think the problem may still lie with the bookstore."

Zhao Xun said without hesitation.

"The bookstore is still your Pan family's bookstore. Two popular books have been published in one bookstore. I think Emperor Xianlong may think in this direction."

Zhao Xun thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he could only think of this explanation.

Because to him, Emperor Xianlong's decision was actually very strange.

Emperor Xianlong didn't seem to notice it at first. But as time went by, Emperor Xianlong figured out something. Then he immediately issued an order to completely ban the Romance of the West Chamber.

It would be impossible to say that Wangcaijia's Panji Bookshop did not have some influence during its publicity.

The knot in Emperor Xianlong's heart has really not been resolved.

At this moment, Zhao Xun could clearly feel that Emperor Xianlong's mind was as small as a needle's nose.

You said you were targeting Pan Ji Bookshop, but it turned out that you also had to target a series of other bookshops, as well as the major industries derived from them, such as pear gardens, wine shops, teahouses, etc.

This is a bit too much.

Killing people with no more than a nod, is this about killing them all?

"What, did he become interested and noticed something strange because of the books published by my Pan Family Bookstore?"

Wangcai felt very depressed when he heard this.

He really couldn't accept this result.

When I heard this, I felt extremely uncomfortable.

"This guy is a real dog. He doesn't leave us any chance. I just want to kick him hard."

Seeing Wang's bulging wealth, Zhao Xun wanted to laugh in his heart.

"Prosperous wealth, that's all?"

"Um?"

Wangcai looked at Zhao Xun cutely.

"One kick is too little."

Zhao Xun smiled and scolded: "I have to give this son of a bitch a few more kicks to relieve his anger. Otherwise, it will always feel unsatisfying. It's best to kick him into a eunuch."

"Well"

Wangcai burst out laughing when he heard this.

Hahaha, only Zhao Xun dares to say such things.

Although Wangcai hated Emperor Xianlong with gnashing of teeth in his heart, because he had been influenced by the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor since childhood, it was basically difficult for him to say anything like kicking the emperor into a eunuch.

This requires a kind of thinking that breaks through instinct and a kind of incomparable contempt for imperial power.

Obviously, Wangcai does not have this kind of thinking at present.

However, prosperity is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

For him, after Zhao Xun's enlightenment, his whole mind became more open-minded.

After that, if he denounced Emperor Xianlong again, he would definitely add some new words, instead of going back and forth with just a few words like before.

"But this incident actually reminds us that we should never place our hopes on others. Especially a dog emperor like Emperor Xianlong."

At this moment, Zhao Xun seemed to suddenly understand something.

"Prosperous wealth, think about it. At present, Emperor Xianlong's control over books and operas is still quite strict. So if we want to write books and go out of the book route, we must try our best to avoid any mistakes.

Risks. At present, it will definitely not work if Pan Ji Bookstore continues to publish books. Emperor Xianlong has seen some clues, or he simply wants to suppress the Pan family because he is unhappy. For us,
To be continued...
