Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Just now, when the two parties were negotiating the terms of cooperation, Fang Xuanling was already thinking about the candidate for the editor-in-chief of the magazine.

According to Li You's explanation, this editor-in-chief is also very important.

It can be said that the editor-in-chief is the soul of a magazine.

The editor-in-chief needs to arrange everything from personnel to content. In the whole process of each issue of the magazine from scratch, there will be an editor-in-chief in every link.

At first, Fang Xuanling felt that since Li You proposed this magazine, Li You must be the editor-in-chief.

But immediately, Fang Xuanling also thought of Li You's salty fish character, and soon he gave up this tempting but completely unrealistic idea.

Then Fang Xuanling thought that he or Du Ruhui would be the editor-in-chief.

In this way, the direction of the articles in the magazine can be well controlled, allowing him to serve the court better.

However, after Li You introduced a series of things that the editor-in-chief needs to do, Fang Xuanling denied this idea again.

Now the court has enough affairs, as the prime minister, neither he nor Du Ruhui has the energy to create another magazine.

For the same reason, Fang Xuanling also excluded Kong Yingda.

After excluding high-ranking people like him and Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling didn't know who to hand over to.

Facing Fang Xuanling's question, Li You didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "I wonder if the two prime ministers have any favorite candidates?"

Fang Xuanling shook his head, but Du Ruhui, who was at the side, said a name after thinking about it: "Du Zhenglun."

"I don't know what King Yan thinks?"

Now that Du Zhenglun is paying homage to the Minister of Zhongshu, he knows everything about the affairs of the court like the palm of his hand, and in Du Ruhui's opinion, he is also a very good candidate.

[Du Ruhui is really a virtuous person, it seems that I was right in saving him. 】

[This Du Zhenglun had many conflicts with Du Ruhui because of Lianzong's affairs, but he didn't expect that Du Ruhui would recommend him to hold an important position as the mouthpiece of the imperial court. 】

[However, Du Zhenglun is still not enough. 】

Li You shook his head and said, "Just now, the king didn't introduce a little bit. In this regard, Du Zhenglun is not qualified enough."

"As I said just now, the editor-in-chief is the soul of a magazine."

"So, for the outside world, the editor-in-chief of a magazine determines the status of the magazine in the hearts of readers."

"And "Zhenguan Banyue Tan" is Datang's first magazine, and the selection of the first editor-in-chief definitely needs a person of high morals and prestige."

"Although Du Zhenglun has the reputation of being a talented scholar, he is still a little weak in my eyes."

In fact, Fang Xuanling also thought of this question just now, and quickly said: "Actually, I also thought of King Yan's thoughts just now."

"But most of the high-ranking and powerful people now have heavy official duties, while those who are more relaxed are all military generals. I'm afraid they won't be able to do it."

Hearing Fang Xuanling's complaints, Li You couldn't help but smile slightly, and then pointed at Fang Xuanling's copybook: "Mr. Fang, isn't this a ready-made candidate?"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui quickly looked at the name Li You was pointing at, and expressions of joy appeared on their faces.

The person Li You was referring to was the editor-in-chief of "Zhenguan Clan Chronicles", Gao Shilian, Duke of Yixing County.

Fang Xuanling slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "Thank you King Yan for reminding me, how could I have forgotten him!"

Being able to be the editor-in-chief of "Zhenguan Clan Chronicles" is because Gao Shilian's status is extremely noble. He was born in the Gao family in Bohai, and he is also the uncle of Empress Changsun and Changsun Wuji.

Back then, Empress Changsun and Empress Zhangsun were expelled from the Changsun's house, and they were all taken in by Gao Shilian.

It was at Gao Shilian's house that Empress Changsun met Li Shimin who was also young.

In the years that followed, Gao Shilian also provided a lot of help to Li Shimin.

In the ninth year of Wude, the conflict between Li Shimin and the hidden prince Li Jiancheng intensified. Gao Shilian, Changsun Wuji, Hou Junji and others persuaded Li Shimin day and night, intending to kill Li Jiancheng and Qi Wang Li Yuanji.

On the day of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Gao Shilian released the prisoners, gave them weapons, and rushed to Fanglin Gate with them to cooperate with Li Shimin in launching the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

After the incident, Li Shimin was established as the crown prince, and Gao Shilian was appointed as the prince's right concubine.

It is precisely because of this relationship that Gao Shilian was highly valued. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he was promoted to be a minister under his family and ranked among the prime ministers.

It is precisely because of such a high reputation that Gao Shilian was appointed as the editor-in-chief of "Clan History".

Under Li You's suggestion, the "Clan Records" this time regards the royal family as the first-class family, foreign relatives as the second-class family, and other families as the third-class family.

The Bohai Gao family also ranks in the forefront of the second-class family because of their relationship with the queen.

It can be said that the Bohai Gao family is one of the families that benefited the most from the "Clan History".

For this reason, Fang and Du were very relieved to let Gao Shilian be the editor-in-chief of this magazine.

And compared to other people, Gao Shilian is currently a big idler.

Gao Shilian temporarily resigned from the post of waiter because of the editor-in-chief of "Clan History", and the new appointment has not yet been made.

The last point, which is also the most suitable point for the two of them, is that Gao Shilian has just edited a "Clan Chronicle", and it is very familiar to let him continue to be the editor-in-chief of the magazine at this time.

In addition to being able to better explain the "Clan Chronicles", he can also add many interesting things that happened during the compilation of the "Clan Chronicles".

Didn't Li You say it before, readers may prefer the gossip rather than serious articles.

After the proposal was praised by the two, Li You said again: "I'll give you the candidate, but you still need to invite it yourself."

"Seeing Gao Shilian, it's not worthwhile for me to call you Grandpa!"

Seeing Li You showing his rare youthful disposition again, Fang Du and Fang Du smiled at each other.

"That's no problem. Let him promote "Clan Records." He would definitely wish for it."

"It's up to us."

Seeing the two of them clapping their chests to confirm the ticket, Li You also smiled knowingly.

Once this "Zhenguan Banyue Tan" is released, he can naturally include private goods in it, make a few soft articles to defend himself in it, and naturally he can defend himself with the latest national policies.

With the government's refutation of rumors, those rumors will naturally be self-defeating.

It was already evening when Li You returned to the palace from Shang Shuxing, and Li You was about to have dinner when he heard Yuhuatian's report.

"My lord, we have the results of our investigation based on Shi Mo's questionnaire."

"My lord's method is really effective!"

After Shi Mo was imprisoned, Jin Yiwei immediately began to torture him.

But Shimo people live up to their name, silent as a stone.

Although Mu Bin and Yu Huatian took turns to fight, they still didn't pry his mouth open and got any useful news.

Instead, it was Shi Mo who fell into a coma several times because of the non-stop torture.

In desperation, Yu Huatian led people to investigate the questionnaire filled out by Shi Mo in advance.

Unexpectedly, after just a few days of investigation, there will be gains.
