I run a newspaper in ancient times

Mingzheng Hall

After arguing with Prime Minister Zuo about tabloid restraint that day, Emperor Yan no longer made excuses to expel Zhang Zuoxian, but explicitly let him go, leaving Zhang Companion behind.

Obviously, Emperor Yan has been impatiently clearing away the people around him, but the effect, judging from the situation Li Li has so far, seems not to be ideal.

Many hide deeper, while others become targets.

Li Li glanced at Zhang Banban, and heard Emperor Yan ask curiously: "Did you really stay in the General's Mansion yesterday?"

"There are so many forces camping in front of the general's mansion, don't they have the manpower of the emperor?" Li Li looked back and said with a smile.

Emperor Yan coughed and said: "I'm just curious, and I'm afraid you will suffer. Who doesn't know that Fan Zhiyuan is cold-hearted, he hasn't been back for two days, you are so eager, what if you offend him?"

"Brother Huang, worry too much. Ah Li is so cute and likes him so much. He always thinks of him. No matter how hard-hearted he is, he won't embarrass me. On the contrary, when we got together yesterday, I found that although the general is cold-tempered, in fact He's upright, easy to talk to, and extremely shy."

When Li Li mentioned Fan Zhiyuan, he smiled and praised him so much that Emperor Yan felt that they did not know the same person.

"That's good." Emperor Yan nodded, and then asked, "By the way, Fan Zhiyuan..."

Before Emperor Yan finished speaking, Li Li put down the teacup in his hand, rubbed his belly and asked, "Do you have any snacks? Empress Mother is not happy, she doesn't even care about food, she is starving to death."

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Emperor Yan ordered Zhang Banban to say, "Let the imperial dining room do it quickly, no matter what, first fill the prince's stomach."

"Yes."

"Brother Huang still loves others, but the queen mother is getting more and more fierce." Li Li complained in a low voice.

Emperor Yan blamed: "It's no wonder the queen mother, who told you not to marry a wife and have children honestly, but to run after a cold man? The royal family has lost all face."

Li Li wondered: "Does the royal family still have such a thing as face?"

Emperor Yan choked for a moment, and finally returned to the original topic: "A Li, is Fan Zhiyuan reliable?"

"reliable."

"How can you be sure? He is Shen Dang, what is the difference between Shen Song and him?"

"Shen Song's surname is Shen, but his surname is Fan, and his appearance is three thousand miles away. In fact, he has nothing to do with the Shen family."

Emperor Yan frowned: "I can't control him."

Li Li smiled, and asked back: "A person who can be controlled by the emperor, can he sit firmly in the position of commander of the imperial army?"

Emperor Yan was silent for a moment.

He has already seen the game between Marquis Wu Ning and Prime Minister Zuo in the case of Yu Zicheng.

However, where can I find the second Gu Rushi who endured the humiliation, and who can make the imperial army obey and shut up the court, but he can't pick a wrong candidate.

If Emperor Yan had one, he would not have waited until this time.

"Brother Huang, let's use it first. There are four remaining states in Yanjing Kyushu that have not been recaptured. There is bound to be a battle between Dayan and Daxia. At that time, the commander-in-chief will choose whoever is better than Fan Zhiyuan. Let him return to the frontier, and then he can hand over the imperial army. This paragraph Within a short period of time, it is enough for Brother Huang to cultivate a confidant." Li Li said lightly.

"I'm afraid that it will return to the Shen family." Emperor Yan looked at Li Li and said worriedly.

"With me here, it won't."

Li Li's self-confidence made Emperor Yan puzzled: "You..."

"I've already entered the house, and the tabloids have published it time and time again. The whole Dayan knows that he and I are a match made in heaven, so I am an insider, and the Shen family is an outsider. My elbows are turned outward. May I ask how Wu Ninghou's words are as effective as my words?" Li Li propped his chin and smiled deeply, "Of course he has to listen to me."

"Really?" Emperor Yan doubted.

"What does it matter if it's true or false?"

Li Li was working for Emperor Yan, once he and Fan Zhiyuan came in and out as a pair, even if Marquis Wu Ning had no suspicions now, he would not be able to escape in the future.

"Look, Prime Minister Zuo will definitely bring up the matter of restraining gossip tabloids again. At that time, it will be the time when the Shen family and Fan Zhiyuan will part ways."

This issue of the gossip tabloid was finally released amidst the eager anticipation of the people in the city.

Although the grand occasion of General Fan's return to the city was unprecedented, there were still too many people who couldn't squeeze into the front row and couldn't see a piece of clothing. This group of people couldn't wait for a long time.

As soon as the tabloid was released, it was sold out immediately.

Of course, this issue did not disappoint. It is comparable to the erotic painting skills of 50 taels of silver. This is extremely realistic in both demeanor and appearance, especially the two protagonists. One is noble and beautiful, and the other is mighty. Domineering, at first glance they are a match made in heaven.

It is still a tabloid with [-] articles, with pictures and texts, it is really worth buying!It's fine to collect.

Thanks to this tabloid, even those who had no feelings for the two of them at first started to kowtow silently.

The gossip tabloid took advantage of the trend and released another picture album, which is a collection of intimate pictures of General Fan and Prince Yi. It is carefully produced and has excellent pictures, which can be treasured.

The quantity is limited, only a thousand copies, and the whole city went crazy, even if they needed 50 taels of silver for a copy, they were all vying for someone to get it.

The national CP is really well-deserved.

Looking at the newspaper, Fan Zhiyuan felt that he had jumped into the Tuanjiang River and couldn't clean himself up.

Marquis Wu Ning specially invited him to visit the mansion for a briefing, but Fan Zhiyuan could only deny it with a wry smile, and then closed the door to thank the guests.

Fortunately, Li Li probably knew how to measure, and he didn't come to disturb her.

However, within a few days, this peace and harmony was broken by an assassin who suddenly appeared in the Palace of Night.

Although Emperor Yan had objections to Prime Minister Zuo and the Zhou family, Zhou Jieyu, who had just entered the palace, couldn't hold back his heart, every frown and smile went to his heart.

Even though he wasn't pretty, he called for a companion from time to time amidst Zhou Jieyu's gentleness, knowledge and interest.

Zhou Jieyu is recognized by Dayan as a talented woman. She is proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Only when Emperor Yan played chess with her did he have the pleasure of meeting his opponent.

"If you play with A Li, with his stinky chess basket, you might be able to steal and play tricks. It's really meaningless to let me keep the chess pieces private without telling me."

Zhou Jieyu held the white piece in her hand, and listening to Emperor Yan's rambling, she said with a smile in her eyes: "It's because the emperor dotes on the prince, so he willingly gave in. If the courtiers and concubines come like this, the emperor will definitely say that I love you." And proud."

Hearing this, Emperor Yan raised his hand to scratch his slender nose, and said dotingly: "It's okay, I also like my concubine's petty temper."

Zhou Jieyu then giggled, with sweet dimples on her happy face, as if she was still that ignorant girl, and said angrily, "Your majesty said that."

She directly took away a sunspot that was pressed against Baizi's throat, held it in her hand and blinked innocently at Emperor Yan.

Emperor Yan glared at her feigning displeasure: "I'm really getting more and more courageous, so hurry up and take it out."

"No."

"Really not?"

"Just don't give it, unless the emperor comes to snatch it in person." Zhou Jieyu said coquettishly.

Then Emperor Yan was not polite, and the two started to play on the couch, and after a while, they lost their breath and became ambiguous.

Before they knew it, it was already late at night, the two threw away the chess pieces, hugged each other, and were heading to the bed, when they heard an exclamation from outside the hall: "Who is it!"

As soon as the sound came, Emperor Yan immediately let go of the person and strode out of the hall.

Zhou Jieyu thought about it for a while, and ran out too, not caring about her messy hair.

"Your Majesty, there are assassins!" Zhang Zuoxian panicked and brought several guards over to escort him.

Emperor Yan looked around the main hall of Ming Dynasty, and asked with a gloomy face, "Where's the assassin?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a noisy sound ahead, and under the lit lanterns, a black figure in night clothes jumped down from the roof and fled in a hurry.

"Go to the west palace!"

Emperor Yan watched the guards surrounding him with torches, but couldn't catch the corner of the assassin, his expression became more serious, and Zhou Jieyu grabbed his arm in fear, and finally shouted unbearably: "Where is Shen Song?" ? Why don't you come and catch the assassin at this time!"

……

Although Concubine Zhuang lived in a remote place, she was not the only concubine in that area. Some concubines of lower grades, childless and powerless were also in the nearby Wanhe Palace. , dare not show it in front of others.

The queen mother has been sleeping lightly for the past few days, and for some reason she always wakes up in the middle of the night. Two days ago, she suddenly remembered Ye Cairen, who was once a low-ranking concubine. Mind.

When I woke up today, I heard Funing say: "Empress Dowager, please see the colorful butterfly beside Huang Kao Ye Cairen."

The queen mother was surprised: "What happened at this hour...?"

"Cai Die looked anxious."

"Let her in."

Cai Die also came to try her luck. Like Ye Cairen, a low-ranking concubine of the former emperor who had never made it in the palace all her life, if she fell seriously ill, no one would care.But two days ago, the Empress Dowager ordered someone to deliver things, which gave her a glimmer of hope, so instead of going to Kunning Palace in the middle of the night, she went to Cishou Palace.

I didn't expect to see the queen mother, so I knelt down and cried: "Mother queen mother, Master Ye is about to die, please send an imperial doctor to take a look!"

……

The Cishou Palace invites the imperial physician, and the imperial hospital dare not delay.

But the empress dowager seemed still not at ease, and before the imperial doctor came, she got up in the evening and went to have a look in person.

"It's late at night, so go quietly, Ai's family can't sleep, lest others can't sleep."

"The empress dowager is merciful."

When the queen received the news that Cishou Palace invited the imperial physician, the queen mother had already arrived at the west palace.

To go to Wanhe Palace, you have to pass Yongning Palace. Looking at the closed gate, the Queen Mother slightly raised the corners of her lips.

Suddenly there was a scream from the side: "Who is there?"

A black shadow jumped over, jumped onto the wall of Yongning Palace, and entered inside.

"There are assassins—"

"Come on, escort—"

No one can see whether the assassin is there, but the panic has indeed been caused.

Even the Empress Dowager's driving began to be unstable, Funing looked at the Yongning Palace opposite, and suggested: "Empress Dowager, why don't you avoid it?"

This moment is what the Empress Dowager wanted, she stabilized her panic, and said sharply: "This is the place where Concubine Zhuang lives, what should I do if someone hurts Concubine Dowager, because of this, the Ai family is surrounded, and the rest follow the mourning." Go home and see!"

As soon as the words fell, the two servants slammed on the gate of Yongning Palace, and panicked footsteps came from inside.

The lights in Yongning Palace were brightly lit, the Empress Dowager was sitting on a high seat, her cold eyes fell on Concubine Zhuang's slightly flustered face.

Her hair was disheveled, and there was no spring in the brows and eyes of her pale face, and her eyes were full of fear. She hurriedly put on an outer dress, and she didn't even fasten her belt. Gold paper, kneeling on the ground to look at the body is still trembling slightly.

Shen Song beside him was also kneeling upright, because time was short and another assassin broke in, he had no time to recomb his hair and put on the jade crown, and he didn't even put on the commander's light armor.

Even if he had taken down the intruding assassin, he still couldn't cover up the adulterous relationship between him and Concubine Zhuang, and the Queen Mother even broke it.

"Take down all the top and bottom of Yongning Palace, especially the servants around you." The queen mother ordered lightly, then her eyes fell on Shen Song, and she suddenly smiled, "Commander Shen, don't kneel down to mourn the family, go and comb your hair and put on your clothes." , so as not to be disrespectful in front of the imperial court, the emperor will deal with it later."

After the Queen Mother's voice fell, the Queen came in a hurry, and when she saw this scene, her eyes immediately went dark.

She knew of her father's affair with Concubine Zhuang and had always kept it a secret for them, but now the Queen Mother broke it, how could it be good?

"Mother..." The queen knelt down along with her, her face dazed.

However, the Queen Mother said: "Queen, I'm going to deal with this matter, do you agree?"

How dare she have an opinion, it would be decent if she didn't treat a mismanagement.

"The concubine dare not, there is a queen mother."

It doesn't matter whether the assassin is an assassin or not. The empress and Shen Song knelt in the Mingzheng Hall, while Concubine Zhuang and the entire Yongning Palace were taken away by the empress dowager.

Emperor Yan looked at Shen Song, and suddenly felt a great pleasure deep in his heart.

The Shen family also has today.

At this moment, Li Li was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, and he didn't dare to delay the beauty sleep.
