I run a newspaper in ancient times

The case of Yu Zicheng and his son was thus over, and what was waiting was Qiu Houwen's execution.

Li Li was not surprised by this result, but...

"I think Master Yu gave me a pair of precious paintings and a stack of bank notes before, but I don't seem to be of much help. I'm really sorry!"

Li Li dragged his cheeks and ate grapes boredly, but Dong Lai and Nan Xiang Qiqi rolled their eyes at these hypocritical words.

Li Li saw it, and immediately threw the grape in his hand, and said displeasedly: "What kind of expressions are you guys making, I'm very sincere."

Those eyes were full of a smile, and full of calculating light.

These two grew up with Li Li, and knew that the master suddenly mentioned Yu Zicheng must have something to do.

"My lord, what are your plans?"

"My General Fan is coming back." Li Li said.

What's wrong?The two looked at each other, puzzled.

Li Li sighed melancholy: "I have to share some of the pain in his heart, lest he go back to Beijing and be as clueless as a headless fly."

The two of them couldn't understand these words.

Just as he was talking, Beixing walked in from the outside, saluted Li Li respectfully, handed over a note and said, "My lord, I've found out."

Li Li threw away the grapes in his hand, took the handkerchief from Dong Lai and wiped the water stains on his fingertips, opened the note and looked at it, the corners of his lips curled up: "It came in time, with this handle, This former minister of the Ministry of Rites should be able to tell you honestly. You should go there yourself, so that no one will find out."

"Yes."

Yu Zicheng, who was waiting to be executed in the death row, did not expect to come to him at this time.

"Master Yu, I'm here to see you under the order of the prince, so to make a long story short, please cooperate as much as possible." The visitor was wearing the uniform of a death row guard, with a white face and no beard, walked into the cell with a smile, and cupped his hands.

But the cell boss who opened the door left silently, the surroundings were quiet and there was no one else.

Yu Zicheng looked at this ordinary person in surprise, and thought that Li Li was so powerful that there were people in death row.

In this capital city, only Prince Yi can be called the prince.

Seeming to see through Yu Zicheng's mind, the visitor said with a smile: "Money can turn ghosts into troubles. Master Yu should understand better than villains. Don't worry, Prime Minister Zuo won't find out."

This came with a purpose. Yu Zicheng has been a minister for many years, so he still has this calmness. He sat down slowly and said: "What use is a dying person to the prince?"

"My lord is so thoughtful, how can a villain guess it? But since sending a young one here, it must be an important matter."

He said and handed over a letter.

Yu Zicheng thought about it, and took a look.

The cell was quiet, but Yu Zicheng's complexion suddenly changed, his eyes widened in shock, he looked unbelievable, and even his hands trembled.

Yu Zicheng looked at the person, then at the letter, and finally sat down and asked, "How could the lord know such things...for so many years...why do you ask these things...they are dead, already dead... I don't remember either..."

The person's face remained unchanged, he only said: "I'm afraid it will be troublesome if you don't remember."

"What do you want?" Yu Zicheng clenched his hands into fists, trying to calm himself down.

"It is said that Master Yu and Mrs. Yu are deeply affectionate and single-minded. They are role models for husbands and wives in the world. How many girls in the boudoir are looking forward to finding a husband who loves them as deeply as Master Yu." He smiled. , suddenly turned aside, and regretfully said, "It's just that I didn't expect that Mr. Yu like this also has a concubine, hiding... an illegitimate child."

He said lightly, but Yu Zicheng stared at him, as if asking how do you know.

But soon I figured it out, may I ask if there are any secrets in the whole capital that Prince Yi doesn't know?

What gossip tabloids are best at is digging out other people's privacy.

"Master Zuo allowed the prince to set up a gossip tabloid, it was the biggest mistake!" Yu Zicheng murmured.

The person who came did not deny it, but said: "The child is innocent, although the lord does not want to threaten the lord with this ignorant child, but according to the court law, the whole family of the Yu family will be ransacked, and this bloodline cannot be kept, so Master Yu, what are you going to do?" What to do?"

The pen and ink were ready, and Yu Zicheng, who was wearing a prison uniform, wrote down word by word, and finally pressed his fingerprints, and handed the thing to the person next to him.

"I only know this, and only do this, the rest has nothing to do with me."

The visitor looked at it, then carefully folded it into his pocket, and said with a smile, "Thank you, sir."

"Then..." Yu Zicheng looked at him with pleading eyes.

The visitor Shi Shiran said: "Don't worry, my lord keeps his word and doesn't care about a baby. It's just... if there is any discrepancy, I'm afraid it will be..."

"This is all absolutely true!" Yu Zicheng was anxious, "But, if Prime Minister Zuo finds out about me...then my son's life will be..."

"The left prime minister won't know, and when he knows, I'm afraid he won't have the ability to touch your son."

After hearing the meaning, Yu Zicheng lowered his hand and watched the man leave the cell, everything became quiet again.

But he knew that the peace of the capital was about to be broken.

No matter where Li Li knew about this matter, once it was uncovered, it would be a bloodbath.

But he couldn't see it.

This time, Li Li got the confession, looked at the content roughly, then smiled mockingly: "Since ancient times, loyal and loyal people have always been unable to escape the fate of being framed by traitors, Yue Fei is, Yu Qian is, here... …so do they.”

All the court officials quarreled over gossip and tabloids, and the imperial cases of Emperor Yan were piled up like snowflakes.

This time, these papers no longer have the Zuo Xiang to review them in advance, but Emperor Yan is not happy at all, because all the papers require the emperor to keep the gossip tabloids under the imperial court, or under the six departments, or set up another department, that is, The tabloids can no longer be allowed to say whatever they want like a wild horse running free!

Although the Shen family didn't make such a request, they remained neutral.

This was the first time since Emperor Yan came to the throne that he had a clear-cut confrontation with the left minister, but it was a bit hard to support.

It was too easy for the left prime minister, who had power over the government and the opposition, to fetter Emperor Yan, and there was already a tendency to procrastinate in government orders.

Emperor Yan suppressed his anger and did not turn his face on the spot, but there was no solution, so he could only continue in a stalemate.

But he knew he couldn't last long.

In the end, Li Li could only be called into the palace.

This time Emperor Yan no longer sent Zhang Zuoxian away on purpose, but directly asked all the servants to go out, making it clear that he didn't intend to let anyone inquire about any news.

Li Li watched Zhang Zuoxian lead people away with a low eyebrow, then looked at Emperor Yan who couldn't wait, touched his chin and didn't speak.

As soon as the people left and the gate of the palace was closed, Emperor Yan said to Li Li: "A Li, you write a headline and let the gossip tabloids publish this matter, let the common people see it, let Chun Wei's son see it, Prime Minister Zuo How domineering and domineering, controlling speech, even a small newspaper that dares to tell the truth cannot contain it!"

Emperor Yan really held back his anger. He knew very well that if he compromised on this matter, it would be even more difficult for him to regain power.

It has been five years since he ascended the throne, and the courtiers who are sensible should have returned the power to the emperor long ago.

"I am the emperor, the son of Yan, does he think he can stop me for the rest of his life? How ridiculous!" Emperor Yan looked at Li Li with hatred in his eyes. Before all the sons leave the capital, just like the father and son of the Yu family, let the world judge!"

Emperor Yan had already seen the appeal of the gossip tabloids, and his eyes were full of confidence. He believed that when the matter was known to the world, the public would be excited.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yan looked at Li Li and couldn't help but feel relieved: "A Li, I always thought that gossip tabloids were useless, but now I understand that it is because I am lonely, this is simply a sharp weapon!"

However, Li Li didn't respond to him immediately, but just poured tea for herself, and then sighed softly: "Brother Huang, I'm afraid it's not right."

Emperor Yan was taken aback, and immediately asked: "Why?"

"The timing is not right."

Emperor Yan frowned and looked at him.

Li Li put down the cup and said: "Brother Huang, have you forgotten the Shen family? Now it is the leftist faction who insists on bringing the tabloids into the imperial court. It is the emperor's instruction to publish articles that clearly provoke the anger and dissatisfaction of the leftist ministers and even the court officials. This is not true. The emperor's sharp blade against courtiers? Marquis Wu Ning is also a powerful minister, how can he sit idly by?"

After Li Li finished speaking calmly, Emperor Yan fell silent immediately.

After a long time, he sat down slowly and murmured: "So Prime Minister Zuo did it on purpose. He forced me to think of this trick, so that he can justifiably take over the gossip tabloid."

Li Li nodded slightly.

"This time the people in the capital are making a sensation because they want to seek justice for the innocent victims and severely punish the murderer. It was not instigated by the gossip tabloids, but by the Shen family who secretly promoted the news that Shen Yuling got the jade pendant and asked me to publish it. Forced to be helpless. Now that the Yu family and his son have been punished, this is over. In my hands, the tabloid is still just a pastime for the public. For Marquis Ning, it’s much better to have gossip tabloids with me than to be controlled by courtiers, at least I covet General Fan!"

However, this humor and lightness did not make Emperor Yan relieve his sorrow. On the contrary, he said even more distressed: "But Ah Li, I can't hold on any longer. Do you know that Prime Minister Zuo has used excuses to reprimand several ministers who are loyal to me? If you don't think about it, I'm afraid It can only be as he wishes."

When the crown prince was executed, there were also several princes of Dayan, all of whom died one by one.Only Emperor Yan was left behind, and Li Li, who was not in a big grade and was not stingy, escaped by chance.

Zuo Xiang and Marquis Wu Ning had already seen their wolfish ambitions when they supported Emperor Yan to ascend the throne. How could they obediently return the government to the emperor?

Now it's just waiting for a prince who is easier to control.

Li Li withdrew his smile, with coldness in his eyes, he put a porcelain bottle on the table, and said softly: "Brother Huang, if you keep at it, the dawn of victory will come soon."
