I run a newspaper in ancient times

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, Wuninghou's mansion is bright all night, Wuninghou hurriedly enters the palace, but is turned away by the hardened Emperor Yan.

Naturally, Shen Song was still under custody, the queen sent someone to deliver a letter to tell the whole story, and it couldn't have been worse to be bumped into by the queen mother. After today, she might not even be able to hold the phoenix seal.

The anxious Marquis Wu Ning wished he could lift Shen Song up and beat him up, but it was a pity that he couldn't see anyone for the time being, but he waited for the prime minister from the left.

"I heard that there were assassins in the palace. The old minister was concerned about the emperor, so he came to see what happened to Marquis Wu Ning?" Zuo Xiang asked pretending to be concerned.

Assassins appeared in the palace for no reason, did not stab the emperor, and even fled to the West Palace in a hurry, and there are so many palaces in the West Palace, deserted everywhere, obviously choose a place randomly It was easier for him to hide, but he broke into Concubine Zhuang's residence directly. Thinking about it, he knew that someone was instigating behind him!

The purpose is to make Shen Song's adulterous affair with Concubine Zhuang public, and let him hand over his position as the commander of the imperial army.

Who is the person behind this, Wu Ninghou knew with his toes, he burst into anger, gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Zuo knows the reason."

Zuo Xiang smiled and did not deny it: "The gate of the palace has been closed, even if Master Hou has something big to do, don't alarm the emperor, otherwise it will be another crime."

Since Prime Minister Zuo said so, he would not let Marquis Wu Ning get any benefits. The latter could only flick his sleeves angrily and go back to the house to discuss countermeasures.

On the second day in court, Marquis Wu Ning knelt down to plead guilty. He didn't mention the affair between Shen Song and Concubine Zhuang yesterday, but focused on Shen Song leaving his post without authorization and failing to protect the emperor, which shocked the emperor.

He cried bitterly: "The old minister is ashamed of his trust in the emperor, please punish him."

Ever since Marquis Wu Ning became the head of the state and Fan Zhiyuan won consecutive battles, his respect for the Tian family has become less and less respectful. How has he ever seen such a look!

Emperor Yan was slightly happy in his heart, and his gaze behind the bead curtain was full of excitement. He looked straight at Marquis Wu Ning, as if he wanted to appreciate it for a while.

Of course, this is not the purpose of Emperor Yan, he hopes that Marquis Wu Ning can hand over the forbidden army quickly!

Obviously this is the son of heaven's own army, but he is held in the hands of the powerful ministers, making him feel like a stick in his throat, for fear that one day the Shen family's ambition will turn around and attack him instead.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down and said, "Don't worry, Marquis Wu Ning, Shen Song is my father-in-law. If possible, I would naturally be willing to forgive him. It's just that there was chaos last night, and I still can't figure out what happened until now." What, just ask Marquis Wu Ning to wait for a few days, and make a decision after investigating clearly."

What happened last night is very clear, Marquis Wu Ning knows what the emperor is trying to trick, he wants him to hand over the imperial army himself!

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Marquis Wu Ning stood up slowly. He squinted his eyes, looked up at Emperor Yan, and sneered slightly in his heart. If he wanted to give it, could Emperor Yan catch it?

Don't forget, there is a covetous person on the side.

Marquis Wu Ning returned to the standing queue, facing Zuo Xiang with a faint smile, as if he didn't care about it.

Compared to Emperor Yan, Marquis Wu Ning fears him even more.

However, the strange thing is that Zhou Dang did not come forward to criticize today, and I don't know what conspiracy is brewing.

From the beginning to the end, I didn't see them write a note about it.

After the court meeting dispersed, Marquis Wu Ning suddenly called to Prime Minister Zuo, this move stopped even the officials who left one after another with the surroundings.

"The left minister has changed his temper and become a vegetarian?"

Prime Minister Zuo raised his hand and arched it, and said with a smile, "I'm getting older, and I don't like this straight-forward way, so I'm following Master Hou's way of doing things in a roundabout way."

Marquis Wu Ning's eyebrows furrowed immediately.

Marquis Wu Ning walked out of the palace gate, but saw Shen Yuling approaching eagerly and said, "Grandfather, there are rumors spreading outside, saying that my father took advantage of his position to promiserate in the harem and had a long-term affair with Concubine Zhuang. In the place of the concubine, I didn't have time to catch the assassin's escort!"

When Marquis Wu Ning heard this, his expression changed immediately.

"There is also the matter of my father and Concubine Zhuang when he was young, which was revealed. It was rumored that he had an affair early in the morning. After moving to the palace, Concubine Zhuang specially chose the place on the west side of the palace as her residence. It’s convenient to have a tryst with my father. The west palace is not strictly guarded, and outsiders can enter and leave the harem at will, maybe not only my father, but also other imperial guards have an affair with the harem!”

Marquis Wu Ning's complexion is now blue and white, changing alternately.

"The most troublesome thing is my sister. She is in charge of the harem. Whether she knows it or not, she has been planted outside and said that she is hiding it for her father and the others. She is not worthy of being a queen! Some palace maids and guards of the Imperial Army have a lot of sneaky contacts. If it is found out, it will be confirmed!"

Marquis Wu Ning took a deep breath, looked at Shen Yuling with a wry smile, and said, "The quota of the imperial army is privately bought and sold. Although it existed in the previous dynasty, it was not started by the father, but now it is also counted on the father... Grandfather, what shall we do?"

Marquis Wu Ning knew what Prime Minister Zuo said before.

Are you familiar?This scene is so similar, Yu Zicheng's case was pushed by the Shen family secretly.

Then the next step is to...

"A gossip tabloid."

Li Li got up late today, and while having breakfast, he opened the envelope in his hand and took out the letter paper inside, while Dong Lai and Nan Xiang were talking about new things outside.

People these days don't care about state affairs, but if there are any court secrets, unofficial gossip, etc., it won't take a morning for everyone to know, let alone someone behind the scenes to fuel the flames?

One is the first emperor and concubine, and the other is the commander of the imperial army. They are not young, but they can actually do such a thing like firewood and secretly cheating. Think about how crazy it must be to cover them secretly as the queen's daughter!

If it is true, it will definitely become an excellent topic for people in the capital to chat with each other after dinner, and it will not stop for a whole year.

But when it comes to the authenticity of this kind of thing, people in the capital first think of gossip tabloids.

What is published in the tabloids must be true.

Apparently, Prime Minister Zuo also thought so, so when he sent someone to spread the rumor, he listed all the evidence and sent it to Li Li. He was very considerate, and he will see you in the headlines of the next issue.

But it's a pity... the adultery between Concubine Zhuang and Shen Song, all the people involved are in the hands of the Queen Mother and have been placed under arrest.There is no evidence for the leftist, the only witness is the assassin.

But how can the assassin's words be adopted?

Li Li took a leisurely sip of the soup, put away the things and put them at hand.

After a while, Zhu Run, the editor-in-chief, came to see me.

Zhu Run held a stack of letters in his hand and put them in front of Li Li. He said with a sneer, "I don't know if the prince has heard the news from the palace that is rumored outside?"

"Concubine Zhuang and Shen Song?"

"Ah, my lord is really sharp, and I can't hide anything from you." Zhu Run flattered, and then said, "Nowadays, our gossip tabloids are too popular. Many people came to our shop this morning and gave them away directly. The letter asked whether our tabloids would publish this matter? It was related to the palace, so the little one didn't answer immediately, so I came to ask the prince."

Li Li didn't read these urging letters, but waved his fan and said affirmatively: "This is the headline of this issue."

"My lord is decisive." As the editor-in-chief, Zhu Run didn't want any eye-catching news to be missed by the gossip tabloids. If it is published this time, it will definitely become a hit.

Now besides the capital city, booksellers from nearby prefectures also come to order newspapers, and the sales volume is very high. Obviously, the gossip tabloids have already sold well outside the capital city. In a short time, the whole of Dayan will know about the tabloids, and Zhu Run, as the editor-in-chief, also It is exciting to think about becoming one of the characters.

Li Li raised her head and signaled Donglai to hand over the revelations and evidence sent by Prime Minister Zuo to Zhu Run: "The above evidence is all true, so you can write it at ease. But after all, it involves the royal family, this face is still needed, you let the following write When writing the article, treat Concubine Zhuang and Shen Song's affair in a vague way, so as not to blame the superiors." Li Li instructed.

Zhu Run was a little confused: "Then please tell me, what kind of fuzzy method is this fuzzy treatment?"

"You're so stupid, since you can't name them, wouldn't you use a certain woman in the palace or someone from the imperial army instead?" Li Li said leisurely.

Zhu Run understood a bit, but he was puzzled again: "But if you write it like this, isn't it even more cover-up, and it still confirms the matter?"

However, Li Li raised her lips and said with a smile: "As long as it is not clearly stated, there is still a fig leaf to cover it up. As for what the readers think, the tabloids have nothing to do with it."

Fan Zhiyuan was led all the way into Marquis Wu Ning's study, but one day, Marquis Wu Ning's high spirits had disappeared.

When he saw Fan Zhiyuan's first sentence, he asked: "Zhiyuan, can you let the prince press this matter down so that it won't be published in the gossip tabloids?"

Fan Zhiyuan's expression remained unchanged, and he said directly: "Impossible."

"You haven't tried it, how do you know you can't?" Shen Yuling stood beside him, summoned up his courage and said to Fan Zhiyuan's cold face, "Prince Yi is so obsessed with you, one word from you is more effective than grandfather's pleading!"

Fan Zhiyuan glanced at him indifferently when he heard the words, but didn't speak.

Shen Yuling was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but considering the value of force, he finally gritted his teeth and held back.

Fan Zhiyuan looked at Marquis Wu Ning, and suddenly asked: "Is this true or not?"

Marquis Wu Ning sighed and nodded.

Fan Zhiyuan twitched the corner of his mouth: "Just hand over the imperial army."

It is because he refuses to hand in that he is worried.

What is the Forbidden Army? The most powerful combat force in the entire imperial city, although there are not [-] as claimed outside, there are tens of thousands.Because of the imperial army in hand, the Shen family has a pivotal position, hand it over?How willing!

"No, absolutely not!" Marquis Wu Ning stomped in the study, frowning so hard that a fly could be crushed to death.

Now he really wants to wring his son's head off, there are so many women in the world, what kind of women are there, why do they have to mess with the late emperor's concubine?

He was actually caught!

"Careless, really careless!"

But what's the use of saying these things now? Judging from the current situation, even if Marquis Wu Ning refuses to hand over, the forbidden army can't hold it.

Once the gossip tabloids publish the ins and outs of the matter, it will be known to the whole world, with millions of eyes on it, how dare the Shen family hold on to power?

Emperor Yan and Prime Minister Zuo could even put Shen Song in prison with the statement of conforming to the will of the people, and forcibly seize power!

Marquis Wu Ning suddenly regretted that he didn't listen to the opinion of the left prime minister, and suppressed the gossip tabloids together, otherwise there is no need to consider the people's leisurely mouth?

The matter of the court is the court!

Gossip tabloids are really a cancer!

However, it's useless to think about it now, as Fan Zhiyuan said, the Imperial Army can't hold it anymore, so who will be handed over to the Shen family is the key to the Shen family.

Marquis Wu Ning glanced over Shen Yuling's face, but shook his head secretly.

Not to mention that the Shen family has no qualifications, even if there is, Shen Yuling is a dude, a mere nominal school lieutenant, and he is not worthy of being a commander.

In the end, Marquis Wu Ning had no choice but to look at Fan Zhiyuan, and said with a hoarse voice and fixed eyes: "Zhiyuan, there will be no war between Daxia and Dayan in a short time, since we can't go back to the frontier, why not?" Get tired and take over the imperial army for the old man."

Marquis Wu Ning said this very interestingly, what does it mean to take over, he still wants to control it secretly.

However, Fan Zhiyuan's heart moved. What he thought of was not the imperial army that was about to be acquired, but Li Li's face was narrowed with a smile that night, as if he said casually: "Is the general interested in the position of commander of the imperial army?"

He had no secrets in front of Li Li, and he received this great gift before he even surrendered to do something for the other party.

A strange feeling flowed from the bottom of his heart, which really made him not know what to do.

"Zhiyuan?" Marquis Wu Ning didn't receive his reply, so he couldn't help calling again.

Fan Zhiyuan withdrew his thoughts, then calmly said: "I'm afraid that Master Hou is willing, but Prime Minister Zuo is also unwilling."

Fan Zhiyuan is Shen Dang, he finally kicked Shen Song down, how could he let Shen Dang go up again?

However, Marquis Wu Ning sneered: "It's up to him whether he wants to or not. If he has the ability, he can find someone who is more suitable than you." After speaking, he got up and said to Fan Zhiyuan, "Let's go with the old man. "

Shen Yuling asked, "Where is grandfather going?"

"Prince Yi's Mansion."

Fan Zhiyuan frowned slightly, and heard Marquis Wu Ning say: "You don't want the lord to press down completely, but the royal family's face is what you want. The matter between Concubine Zhuang and Shen Song can be handled in secret, it's better not to be instructed by the world."

"But will the prince agree?" Shen Yuling was worried. He knew Li Li a little bit, so he was not a good one.

"Since he pursued Zhiyuan wantonly and the old lady took it with him, if he doesn't give face, it would be too hypocritical! What's more, if he is sincere, he should help the old man to send Zhiyuan to the position of leader."

Shen Yuling was still hesitating, but he heard Marquis Wu Ning sigh: "Silly boy, it's not for your father, but for your sister. After this matter is confirmed, how can she still sit firmly in the back seat? The Shen family's imperial army is lost. I lost it, but the honor of the queen cannot be lost!"
