I run a newspaper in ancient times

Chapter 118 Wind and Rain

Emperor Yan knelt in the small Buddhist hall of Cishou Palace, with no one else, only the queen mother accompanied him.

The Queen Mother didn't say anything, but asked Emperor Yan to close his eyes and recite to the Bodhisattva with her.

No matter how failed Emperor Yan did, his knees never touched the ground except kneeling down to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth.

As time went by, even kneeling on the futon, the knees gradually became numb, and the pain increased and became unbearable.

But Emperor Yan didn't dare to complain, because the Empress Dowager also knelt like this, even clasped her hands reverently, with a calm and peaceful face.

Finally, an hour later, Funing outside tapped the wooden fish three times, the queen mother opened her eyes, and raised her hand to Emperor Yan, the latter came to a sudden, gritted his teeth and stood upright, helping the queen mother up.

The Empress Dowager picked up a hand-copied sutra from the Guanyin statue and handed it to Emperor Yan: "This is hand-copied by Ai's family. You and Ali each have a copy. I hope you are all well."

"Mother's Queen." Emperor Yan looked at her and said bitterly, "My son is not filial."

"It's all the Ai family's fault." A soft sigh fell into Emperor Yan's ears, and the queen mother walked towards the outside of the Buddhist hall, "Emperor, you can go back."

"Mother's Queen." Emperor Yan followed a few steps and called out.

The queen mother stopped and turned around: "Is there anything else the emperor wants to do?"

"The empress has been abolished, even the noble concubine...the harem cannot be without a master for a day, I am afraid that I will have to invite the empress to suffer."

Seeing Emperor Yan's temptation, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but smiled and said: "The Ai family is getting old and doesn't have the energy to manage the harem."

"But……"

"Without the empress and imperial concubine, there are other concubines around. The two who are usually the most favored, the emperor must be at ease, and so is the Ai family."

The most favored are Concubine Min and Concubine Yu. The Empress Dowager's intention is to let these two take charge of palace affairs.

However, Emperor Yan darkened his expression and did not speak.

"Why, the emperor is not satisfied?" the queen mother asked suspiciously.

Emperor Yan took a deep breath and said: "The mother is considerate, and the son is not dissatisfied."

The Empress Dowager nodded: "The Ai family will watch, and the emperor will not let the emperor bother. Since the war is about to start, the emperor should focus more on government affairs."

Emperor Yan came out of Cishou Palace with a blank expression on his face.

Without a queen, it is reasonable for the imperial concubine to be in power, but the empress dowager directly ordered that the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine be put in confinement, making it clear that the palace power should be separated.

Before that, Emperor Yan would have been happy to see Shi Yu in charge of the harem, and would even be willing to give her the status of empress, but Li Li's falling off the cliff revealed something that he didn't know about.

He thought that Shi Yu was willing to stay in the palace because he loved him and felt sorry for him, but he didn't expect that it was to investigate the truth about the prince's treason.

Even for Li Li to accuse him so much, it hurt him even more. He still likes Shi Yu, but he no longer trusts him.

His younger brother is really powerful, he bought all the people around him and those who were close to him, and he willingly fell into the past.

"Your Majesty, at least Concubine Min also has half of the palace power, and the Empress Dowager is not too partial." Zhang Banban reminded.

Emperor Yan's footsteps stopped, and his heart felt infinitely sad, this is his harem!

After Li Li got the Buddhist scriptures copied by the empress dowager and this news, she couldn't help but sighed to Fan Zhiyuan: "The empress mother is more decisive than me, and she has already started to pave the way for sister Yu."

Concubine Min's power comes from the emperor and the left prime minister, and now these two combined cannot compare to Li Li and the queen mother.

As long as Shi Yu is pregnant, the position of queen will be hers.

Fan Zhiyuan thought further: "The Empress Dowager wants to protect you two brothers, Concubine Yu is the most compromise choice."

Li Li will definitely support Shi Yu's child.As the heir of Emperor Yan, if he ascended the throne, Emperor Yan would compromise even if he was not reconciled.

After being injured for a hundred days, Li Li broke his foot. Although there were a lot of servants around him, Fan Zhiyuan still lived in the Prince's Mansion, serving the ancestor one after another, ordering him around.

The configuration is the same as the general's mansion, Fan Zhiyuan lives outside the bedroom, as long as he is there, the general will keep watch at night, and he will wake up when he is called, and he will not procrastinate for a long time.

At the beginning, my hands and feet were rusty, and the service was not in place. After a few days of guidance from the east and the south, I became proficient.

As for the palace... there is Huo Xiaoxiang's bedding.

Obviously, the whole palace combined is not as important as his prince.

The servants brought in buckets of hot water, and the weather gradually became hotter. Although Li Li didn't sweat much while recovering from his injuries, he still felt uncomfortable without taking a bath for a day or two.

After the wound scabbed over, he asked to take a bath and wash up, and by the way, he started maintenance.

Li Li watched Fan Zhiyuan take off his outer clothes, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to carry him to the bathroom, so he couldn't help asking: "Is it okay to keep Huo Xiaoxiang?"

"Besides him, there is no better candidate, and it is convenient for you to call."

The Forbidden Army is the biggest card in Li Li's hand. At the beginning, he tried his best to send it to Fan Zhiyuan, so that he could have more confidence.

With Fan Zhiyuan around, it is natural to be able to suppress him, but once he leaves, the imperial army will be mixed with fish and dragons, and the new commander of the imperial army may not be able to cooperate well.

After all, this time I came to the mountain paddock, many spies were caught.

There is no other way for Huo Xiaoxiang to stay.

"My lord, General, the water is ready." Dong Lai checked the bathroom before coming out.

Fan Zhiyuan walked to the head of the bed and stretched out his hand: "Come."

He helped Li Li up and sat firmly, then leaned forward, knelt on the bed with one knee, wrapped one arm around Li Li's neck to block his shoulders, and put the other hand into the hollow of Li Li's knee. With a little force, he hugged the whole princess stand up.

Li Li put his arms around the neck of his own general, and his eyes fell on the strong arms exposed by rolling up his sleeves. He thought to himself that with this physical strength, he would have to sleep to experience it sometime, it would definitely be cool.

The dense mist filled the air, Li Li took off his clothes and exposed his back, the clear birthmark entered Fan Zhiyuan's eyes, he remembered that when Li Li had been teasing him before and invited him to take a bath, he simply refused.

If you promise once, there will be no big oolong behind.

It's just that once he confirmed his intention, Fan Zhiyuan felt a little unbearable when he looked at this person's naked and fair skin.

"I said General, your eyes are so hot that you can burn a hole, can you see the flowers just by looking at them? Do you want to touch it with your hands to confirm the authenticity of this birthmark?"

Li Li's voice came suddenly, Fan Zhiyuan saw him turning his head and laughing, couldn't help turning away his face and said: "Your leg is still hurt, don't mess around."

She still dared to tease him like this, she simply didn't know how to live or die.

"If the feet are good, can they be messed up?" Li Li asked in surprise.

Fan Zhiyuan: "..." He suddenly couldn't stay any longer.

The new issue of the gossip tabloid is released, and the headline is - "The Beginning and End of the Linshan Paddock Assassination"

The title is nothing new, but it has attracted countless attention because of the content. As soon as it was released, it was sold out in major bookstores.

The gossip tabloids were really bold enough to actually publish the Linshan incident that was the most concerned by the government and the public, and there was a lot of speculation outside.

When it comes to the secrets of the imperial court and disputes between the two countries, if this kind of matter was put beforehand, it would be too late for the imperial court to cover it up, so how could it be announced to the public?

After all, it is very rare to hear unreliable news from the eight aunts and seven aunts who were rumored to be guards in and out of the palace.

For such a big event, even the children of various aristocratic families, those who worship important ministers as teachers can only get a few ambiguous advice.

However, it was on the gossip tabloids!

Everyone knows that as long as it is reported on the gossip tabloids, it is a well-founded fact. Maybe it is not deep enough to dig out a bigger secret, but it will never mislead the public with various speculations. It is simply amazing.

What is even more surprising is that the signature of this report is the real Gu Rushi!

The ministers in the court, apart from those who were sent to prison or go to the guillotine because of all kinds of disgraceful secrets, the only one who appeared seriously was because of an article "Let you meet the little-known Mr. Gu Rushi". "Book of the Ministry of Rites.

Gu Rushi may not be noticed by many people in the market. They only think that he is an upright and honest official. The painting on the wall of the house is impressive, but to scholars, the meaning is completely different.

That was a turning point. When Gu Rushi became the Minister of Rites, the dormant Prince Yi became tough and blew a breeze in the court.

Gu Rushi wrote it with his own hands, checked by gossip tabloids, the gold content is clear without saying much, it is true and authoritative.

When people open this issue of gossip tabloids and see the more detailed reports under the headlines, it is completely different from the style of writing that is often used by editors in gossip tabloids. Signatures of important officials of the imperial court make people pay attention to the government and worry about the world. The Shilin disciples were even more thrilled and excited.

Chaotang dares to let go of his words and is not afraid to let the world know. It can be seen that he is going to the road of being close to the people and clearing the government. In this kind of country, those who are waiting to become officials and walk in the imperial examination fight have more belonging. strands.

No matter what groundless rumors there are outside, the nonsense that took the opportunity to stir up the wind and rain also disappeared under this tabloid.

With the unraveling of the whole story of the Linshan Paddock assassination case, Marquis Wu Ning resigned from the post of minister of the Ministry of War, and the Shen family fell into decline.Although the mastermind behind the collusion between the inside and outside to assassinate Prince Yi has not been found out, the two reports were published in the same newspaper, and Marquis Wu Ning accused him of dereliction of duty, which has to make people think a lot.

What's more, although there is no explicit statement, there is an atmosphere of imminent rain between the lines, indicating that the two countries will soon go to war.

What the common people want is tranquility, but the conspiracy, the death of Daxia's second prince broke this tranquility.

Dayan and Daxia have been enemies since ancient times, so if we don't talk about it, all the anger will go to the Shen family!

"Wu Ninghou's frame just left the door, and before he passed the main street, he was hit by rotten eggs and rotten leaves from who knows where. These local hooligans were obviously hired. The guards of the Shen family As soon as they were about to arrest people, they scattered and ran into the alley without seeing anyone."

Dong Lai said vividly to Li Li, who was suffering from a leg injury, that the reporters just squatted in the corner to watch the show and add material to the next issue of the tabloid.

"Wu Ninghou must be so angry, is he still going out?" Li Li asked.

"Where can it be? In the capital, the Shen family now has Shen Yuling as the deputy commander of the patrol department. What's the use? Watch out, Marquis Wu Ning is growing flowers at home every day."

Forcing a general to grow flowers is also a bitter thing, but Li Li is amused thinking about it, he thought for a while and said: "You ask Zhu Run to come and see me, I have something to say."

When the ministers headed by Gu Rushi started to submit manuscripts to the gossip tabloids, in the next issue of the tabloids, more officials sent manuscripts. Zhu Run was busy screening and picked out several manuscripts for Li Li to review.

"You can figure it out. There will be more and more in the future. If it is suitable for this issue, you can put it directly. There is no need to be afraid of the other party's identity."

"Understood, but my lord, you asked me to come..."

"Put an ad."

"Please make it clear, my lord."

"The war between the two countries is imminent. This battle may be very short or very long. My great general is going to the war. As his virtuous wife, although the king cannot go with him, he must ensure that the logistics are constant. This advertisement is to prepare Grain is collected from private grain merchants in the name of the imperial court.”
