Shang Junlin was not annoyed at being exposed. Instead, he lifted Shen Yu's chin and said, "Your Highness's authentic works should naturally be in my hands. What does A Yu think?"
"Your Highness is right," Shen Yu said with a smile. "What about the ones I wrote for Jiang Huaiqing? Does Your Highness want to keep them in your hands too? "
Shang Junlin thought about it seriously. In fact, he wanted to keep them, but those were written for other people. They were different from the script …
Seeing Shang Junlin thinking seriously, Shen Yu was overjoyed. "Your Highness, you don't really want to keep those letters for yourself, do you?"
"A Yu wrote so many letters to him, but he never wrote to me even once." Shang Junlin was dissatisfied. He also wanted Shen Yu's handwritten letters.
"Your Highness is very busy every day. Don't you feel tired of reading the memorials and letters?" If he was the one dealing with these matters, Shen Yu would not want to read these things in his free time at all.
"Can A Yu write the same as them? I'm willing to read any amount. "Shang Junlin's eyes were deep.
"Then …" Shen Yu dragged out the last word. "What does Your Highness want me to write? A love poem? A personal note? Or something else? "
Shang Junlin replied reservedly, "I'm fine with anything."
He wanted everything.
Shen Yu smiled and glanced at him. "I'll remember it. I'll write it for Your Highness. Your Highness, you can wait patiently."
Since he had agreed, Shen Yu began to think about what to write for Shang Junlin.
Shang Junlin got the answer he wanted. He was much more efficient in approving memorials.
"Guijun, the small theater sent a message saying that the play has been arranged. They want you to take a look." Mu Xi walked in from outside and said.
Shen Yu was writing a letter. On the table, there was a pink letter paper. On the paper, there were peach blossoms. It was sent to the palace by Boss Ye last time. Together with it, there was a light blue and light green.
According to Boss Ye, these letters sold very well and were very popular with the young masters and young ladies of aristocratic families. Even if the price was expensive, they could still be sold out quickly.
Pink was suitable for expressing one's feelings. It was best used to write a letter to one's sweetheart to express one's yearning. If one was shy, light blue could be used instead.
Shang Junlin specifically asked for pink paper, so Shen Yu asked Mu Xi to take out the pink paper from the storeroom. She planned to write a piece of pink paper first.
The tip of the brush dipped in ink, and a beautiful Hairpin-style Small Regular Script appeared vividly on the paper.
After finishing the last stroke, Shen Yu put away the brush and said, "Go and tell them that His Majesty and I will be there this evening."
"Yes, this servant will take her leave."
After Mu Xi left, Shen Yu looked at the pink letter on the table and couldn't help but smile. Who would have thought that the decisive His Majesty would ask for a small letter in private?
When the ink on the paper was dry, Shen Yu put the letter away and put it in the envelope prepared in advance. The envelope was also sent by Boss Ye. The seal was printed with peach blossoms so that people could see what the content of the letter would be at a glance.
The effect of medical alcohol had been verified. How to produce alcohol on a large scale became a big problem. Shen Yue's method was still too inefficient.
The Imperial Institute of Medicine had now obtained the method to produce alcohol. They also asked for several sets of glass equipment from the palace and made several spare rooms for the production of medical alcohol.
In order to avoid confusion with alcohol, they were thinking about a new name for medical alcohol.
"Alcohol concentration is too high to drink directly. It will be life-threatening. Could it be that those who were poisoned by alcohol in the past were poisoned because they drank too high of alcohol concentration? Was it because someone poisoned them or they ate something that was harmful to them?"
Over the years, deaths caused by drinking were not rare. Countless doctors had studied this problem, but they still couldn't find a solution. After investigation, they found that these people who died had almost nothing in common except drinking.
"It's not impossible. The person who sent the alcohol from the palace also repeatedly warned that the alcohol produced by this method should not be drunk. If it wants to have an effect on the wound, it must be mixed accurately. Otherwise, not only will it not reduce the wound infection, but it will also cause secondary damage to the wound."
The Imperial Institute of Medicine's envoy, Imperial Doctor Wu, emphasized again: "Remember, it must be made strictly according to the ratio!"
"Yes!"
"Gu Chong, come with me."
Imperial Doctor Wu was old and had planned to retire. Imperial Doctor Gu was the junior he thought highly of. Although he was still young, his medical skills were brilliant and he was steady in doing things. He was the most promising successor.
He also vaguely expressed his opinion to His Majesty. He knew that in terms of qualifications, Imperial Doctor Gu was not as good as the other two, but in terms of other things, Imperial Doctor Gu was the most suitable.
"I called you out to tell you that I will be retiring at the end of this year at the latest. I have recommended you to His Majesty to take over the position of envoy. You must perform well during this time." Imperial Doctor Wu patted Imperial Doctor Gu's shoulder.
"This …" Imperial Doctor Gu was stunned for a moment. "There are many more people in the Imperial Institute of Medicine who are more qualified than me. Why would you recommend me?"
"I believe in your medical skills and I believe in your character. I also know that you are young and it will be difficult for you to control the people below. Don't worry, I will arrange everything. Since you have taken care of His Majesty's health, His Majesty will not make things difficult for you."
Before making this decision, Imperial Doctor Wu had thought about it for a long time. In the end, he made this seemingly irrational decision. He could feel that the Imperial Institute of Medicine was going through some changes in the Great Huan Kingdom. At this time, the person in charge was especially important.
If it was any other time, it would be fine for the person in charge to be mediocre. But in the vortex of change, mediocrity would become the original sin.
The two people who were talking didn't notice that someone was quietly following them and listening to their conversation.
Imperial Doctor Sun hid behind a pillar, his face extremely ugly. Last time, he took Imperial Doctor Gu's position to treat Prince Huaiyu. He thought that by saving the Prince's life, he could at least get something. Who would have thought that not long after, Prince Huaiyu was condemned by the imperial court? Not to mention a reward, it would be good if he wasn't implicated.
After that incident, he hid like a quail for a period of time. Seeing that Imperial Doctor Gu was getting more and more powerful, he couldn't sit still anymore.
When Imperial Doctor Wu asked Imperial Doctor Gu out alone, he knew something would happen, so he quietly followed. He never thought that he would let himself hear such a conversation.
He entered the Imperial Institute of Medicine earlier than Imperial Doctor Gu and his medical skills were not inferior. Why did Imperial Doctor Wu pass the position to someone who wasn't qualified?! And he even tried his best to pave the way for him?!
Was it just because Imperial Doctor Gu took care of His Majesty's health?
Imperial Doctor Sun glared in Imperial Doctor Gu's direction. He waited until the two finished talking and left before coming out from behind the pillar. He wouldn't let it go just like that. That position, anyone could sit, except for Imperial Doctor Gu!
In the evening.
Shen Yu and Shang Junlin arrived at the small opera house together.
When they heard that His Majesty the Emperor was coming with His Majesty the Emperor, the people in the opera troupe were very nervous. They still remembered that when His Majesty first came, he had a cold aura that made people not dare to look directly at him.
"Be careful. This time, we are going to show His Majesty the Emperor if there is anything that needs to be changed. In a few days, you will have to face the people of the entire capital." The troupe leader inspected carefully, trying to make sure that there were no mistakes.
"I think that facing His Majesty is more terrifying than facing the people of the entire capital." A young man muttered softly.
The others nodded in agreement.
Of course, they would rather face a group of people below the stage. After all, that was a scene that they were familiar with.
"But I'm still very happy to be able to perform for His Majesty. Since that time, His Majesty has only summoned the troupe leader to meet him alone. I'm so envious of the troupe leader …"
The troupe leader had already walked to their side. The others were silent, and the young man who just spoke also hurriedly lowered his head.
The troupe leader wanted to ease the atmosphere and said, "If you have to face His Majesty's oppressive gaze when meeting His Majesty, would you still be willing?"
It turned out that not only would they have to meet His Majesty, they would also have to meet His Majesty! The young men widened their eyes as if to say, "Troupe leader, you're so pitiful."
The troupe leader's mouth twitched. "Alright, hurry up and get ready. His Majesty and His Majesty will be here soon."
Because Shang Junlin was jealous, Shen Yu didn't come to the small theater anymore. Every time he wanted to come, he would be stopped by Shang Junlin for various reasons. If it happened once or twice, it could be said that it was a coincidence. However, after four or five times, Shen Yu understood that Shang Junlin was doing it on purpose.
"If their performance doesn't meet my requirements, how does Your Majesty plan to compensate me?"
"That's their problem. Why are you blaming me?"
"Your Majesty, you really don't know?" Shen Yu poked his arm. "Who was the one who found all kinds of reasons to not let me come to the small theater to see the progress?"
"I've already given such detailed instructions, but they still can't perform. A Yu might as well directly replace them."
"Your Majesty, you can't say that. The performance this time is not the same as the previous ones. It's normal that they can't grasp some parts."
Later, in order to take care of Shang Junlin's emotions, Shen Yu called the troupe leader to the main hall for questioning. Fortunately, the troupe leader was a smart person. He knew the purpose of Shen Yu's arrangement. Not only did he perfectly implement Shen Yu's ideas, but he also made a lot of useful suggestions.
After all, Shen Yu was a layman. His understanding of this aspect was not as good as that of the troupe leader, who grew up in primary school. After improvement, the performance of this play would be better.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has arrived!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." The troupe knelt down and saluted.
"No need to be so courteous. Today, I came with Your Majesty just to be the first to see this play." Shang Junlin sat down with Shen Yu.
"Let Mu Xi and Eunuch Meng sit at the back and watch." Shen Yu glanced at the palace servants standing at the side.
They sat in the middle of the front row with the best view. There were many empty seats behind them. Shen Yu glanced at them and simply let the troupe members sit at the back.
At the beginning, there was a cheerful piece of music. The beginning of the story was also cheerful. Gradually, the music became sad. The two childhood sweethearts had to separate. One went to the north to join the army, and the other stayed in her hometown. In the blink of an eye, a few years had passed. Natural disasters came and starved people were everywhere. The woman who stayed in her hometown made a lot of money in the business world. Thinking of her lover who was far away in the disaster area, she decided to do something.
The imperial court's relief food was embezzled by the corrupt officials. They organized people to donate money and food. More and more people joined the team. The imperial court also sent new officials to punish the corrupt officials. These life-saving supplies were gathered by the people little by little to the disaster area.
In the end, the evil people were punished. The woman and her lover hugged each other tightly after the disaster passed. Everyone was happy.
Shen Yu stood up and clapped his hands: "Not bad, this is very good."
On the stage, the man in pink who played the role of the woman heard these words and his eyes lit up.
Shen Yu turned to look at the palace servants and the other members of the troupe. Everyone's face was full of excitement. Obviously, their emotions had been completely stirred up.
This was the effect that Shen Yu wanted.
The play didn't need to be obscure or elegant. The most important thing was that it could make the audience feel immersed. They couldn't help but think. What should they do in such a situation? What could they do? Now that there was a drought in the north, could they also do something? Could she also be like the woman in the play and do her part?
"No matter how small a person's strength is, when gathered together, it is an unshakable force." Shang Junlin understood this principle very well.
"Yes, some people will always ignore that many little things make a mickle. People who are too arrogant will fall sooner or later."
Shen Yu discussed some details with the troupe leader and returned to the bedroom with Shang Junlin.
"A Yu, did you notice that the man in pink has been moving closer to you?" Shang Junlin approached Shen Yu from behind.
"No." Shen Yu's mind was on the play. He didn't have time to pay attention to these things.
Pleased by Shen Yu's answer, Shang Junlin laughed in a low voice.
Shen Yu's ears were numb from his laughter.
"Didn't His Majesty want me to write a letter to you? I've written it." Shen Yu walked to the secret compartment and took out the envelope. "I've written 23 letters to Jiang Huaiqing. I've written twice to His Majesty. This is the first letter. Does His Majesty want to see it?"
