I run a newspaper in ancient times

In fact, not only the Shen family is anxious about this matter, even the Zhuang family can't sit still.

The grandfather of the Zhuang family is a bachelor, and when he heard the bad news, he was almost so angry that he recited it.

Concubine Zhuang did such a scandal, it shamed the whole family!The Zhuang family has several other girls who are waiting to be married. If it is publicized, who will be willing to marry?Those aunts who are married also have to blush and be ashamed in their husband's house.

The rumors outside are intensifying, and those who can see clearly know that this trick is very similar to the Yu family father and son case earlier.

The Zhou family fought against the Shen family, but it burned others, and it would be a lie to say that they were not angry, but what else could they do?It's not a rumor, it's a fact, that's what kills!

If it was in the past, it would be fine to cover up such scandals, and no one would let the common people join in the fun.

However, there is a gossip tabloid in the capital. What it likes to do most is to expose the hottest topics at the moment. It publishes whatever the people want to know.

The most damning thing is that the gossip tabloids have never spread rumors or made up all these years. Ding is Ding and Mao is Mao. They are all based on facts just for fun.

Up to now, the articles of gossip tabloids are even more convincing than the confession and evidence of Dali Temple!

To be able to achieve such a reputation, Prince Yi is a formidable character, and the scholar Zhuang, who originally looked down on this dude prince, suddenly felt tired.

Fortunately, he has a good colleague, that is, the Grand Scholar Wang who wrote the couplet "A Perfect Couple" to join in the fun when Fan Zhiyuan returned to Beijing.

Master Wang is a pure cultural person. He is very old, and he has long been out of the way of court affairs. His hobby in life is writing and drawing. He occasionally teaches energetic Taixue students. He is an old man who is kind and does not put on airs. , I don't have too much prejudice against the dude Prince Yi who is recognized by the world.

Although Li Li's status was noble, he never bullied others or did evil when he was away from home. For this reason, Grand Master Wang had a good impression of this nobleman.

That's why when Li Li met Master Wang for the publication of the gossip tabloid, he didn't refuse, and the two got along for a while.

Li Li respected people who were truly scholars, and when they got close, they served tea and water, polished ink and brush, without any ambiguity at all. In addition, they had a well-behaved appearance and a sweet mouth, which made them very pleasing.

Moreover, with the memories of his previous life and the crystallization of wisdom from thousands of people in later generations, even if Li Li is not proficient, he can tell one, two, three to communicate back and forth with Master Wang. Less will become a year-end friendship.

The original engraved version of the printed characters was written by Master Wang for Li Li stroke by stroke in a month.It's just because of Li Li's words: "Everyone knows the affairs of the court, and the voice of the people should be known by the court."

When Grand Master Wang handed over the frequently used copybooks to Li Li, he only asked one by one: "I hope you will never forget your original intention, and seek truth from facts."

And Li Li was indeed working hard, no matter how absurd his tabloid content was, it didn't go against the wishes of University Fellow Wang—seek truth from facts.

Master Wang is actually very reluctant to talk about this situation, after all, it is the truth, but what Master Zhuang said is also right, what about Concubine Zhuang, she deserves what she deserves, and the Zhuang family has nothing to say.But the other girls in the dealer's house are innocent, so being involved is an innocent disaster. I only hope that the gossip tabloids will be merciful.

Li Li laughed suddenly when he heard the reason for his visit. He asked the two to sit down, ordered someone to serve tea, and said: "Although there are many people outside, the tabloids only report what the reporters saw and heard with their own eyes. If there is no solid evidence, no matter how good the rumors are, the tabloids will not publish them. But now, it is true that Shen Song buys and sells the quota of the forbidden army, it is true that he left his post without permission and the emperor was almost assassinated by an assassin, and it is also true that the guards of the forbidden army had an affair with the palace maid in private. It's true that it's worth stealing, raping, and playing tricks, as for the others..."

Li Li thought for a while, and finally said: "Further investigation is needed. I heard that Concubine Zhuang and all the people in the palace were taken away by the queen mother. There is no news for now. The king still wants to go to the palace to find the queen mother." How about asking..."

Having said that, he looked at the Master Zhuang whose face had changed, and his smile deepened: "Look at this, it seems to be true."

"My lord." Zhuang University scholar said with a wry smile, "Please also raise your hands high, the lord's great kindness, the Zhuang family will remember it in heart."

Li Li turned to look at Grand Master Wang, who nodded. Although he didn't speak, he had already expressed his attitude by coming here.

It doesn't matter whether this kind of private affair is published in the newspaper, except for the influence on the Shen family and the dealer, others just watch the fun and have more conversation material, Li Li has no such plan at all.

However, there were still people who hadn't arrived, so he didn't directly agree.

Just as he was talking, Dong Lai came in and reported, "My lord, Marquis Wu Ning is asking to see you..."

Li Li raised her eyebrows and said in her heart: Here we come!

But on the face, he took a sip of tea lightly, and said casually: "Oh...another party has come, it seems that this king makes no difference whether he enters the palace or not, it's a stone hammer."

But Dong Lai didn't finish his sentence, and added later: "My lord, General Fan is also here."

Hearing this, Li Li immediately put the tea away, stood up abruptly, with a light of surprise in his eyes, and said happily: "My general is here, ah, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and greet him!"

He was about to go out when he suddenly remembered the two great scholars and turned around and said, "You two, help me see if my clothes fit well, if my hair is messy, and if my face is clean enough?"

The two great scholars here, and the soon-to-be-arriving Marquis of Wu Ning couldn't be exchanged for Li Li's serious treatment, but the three words Fan Zhiyuan made the prince nervous, not to mention welcoming him personally, but also worrying about his appearance... ...This is really, young people's love love love, these old people really don't understand.

Master Wang was aware of his weird and eccentric temperament, so he couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, anywhere is fine. Is there anyone more particular about the capital than you?"

Li Li pursed her lips into a smile, with a touch of shyness on her face, and said happily: "Those two sit down for a while, and when Marquis Wu Ning comes, let's talk together."

The two could only stand up and raised their hands: "My lord, let's get busy."

Fan Zhiyuan's first visit to Prince Yi's Mansion should have been a common occurrence, but for some reason there was always a strange feeling in his heart.

As the emperor's younger brother, Li Li's palace was built beautifully. Compared with the rough general's palace, it was like a world apart.

Of course, no matter how magnificent it is, it has limited appeal to Fan Zhiyuan, far less than Li Li who hurried out to greet him after hearing the report.

I haven't seen him for a few days, but the prince is still handsome, the smile on his face is really unbearable, and he came over very eagerly.

Marquis Wu Ning had never had a direct confrontation with Li Li, seeing Li Li being so solemn, he couldn't help being relieved and benefited.

"I've seen Prince Yi..." He raised his hands and clasped his fists, just as he was saluting, he saw Li Li walking in front of him without stopping and walking directly past him...

Then I heard a reproach from behind: "The general didn't let someone tell you before he came, I didn't even have time to wash and change my clothes."

Marquis Wu Ning: "..."

Listening to this familiar tune, Fan Zhiyuan coughed subconsciously, as if he couldn't bear his enthusiasm, took a step back, and respectfully saluted with fists in his hands: "Go to the door rashly, please forgive me, my lord."

"Forgive me, you can come anytime and anywhere, I say it's best to come at night." Li Li's eyes fell on Fan Zhiyuan, and others couldn't see it transparently.

Fan Zhiyuan: "..." He really flirted with her face, he replied that he could think about everything in that direction.

Finally Wu Ninghou had to clear his throat and reminded him.

Li Li finally showed Fan Zhiyuan a sweet smile, then turned around and walked inside, and said in a low voice as he walked: "I understand what Hou Ye means, please sit inside."

The displeasure of being ignored faded instantly, Marquis Wu Ning said: "Please forgive me, my lord."

In the living room, when Master Zhuang saw Marquis Wu Ning, the two felt a little embarrassed.

Master Wang and Fan Zhiyuan were purely accompanying, and they sat down to drink tea after seeing the ceremony.

Li Li looked at both sides, his smile deepened, and he said, "One is for the family's reputation, and the other is for the Queen's position. The two goals are really the same."

Marquis Wu Ning obviously had a thicker skin than Grand Master Zhuang, he said: "Your Majesty, this old man is not strict with his children, and he has committed such crimes, there is nothing to say, but it concerns the face of the royal family, please don't publish this matter. Don't let the Zhuang family's century-old reputation be ruined, or the old man will die."

Li Li then shifted his gaze to Fan Zhiyuan: "It seems that Lord Hou has already chosen the commander of the imperial army."

Marquis Wu Ning said with a smile: "I don't know if the prince is satisfied?"

"Satisfied, so satisfied!" Li Li said so, but he didn't feel very happy in his eyes. He took a sip of tea and sighed, "It's a pity... Brother Huang is probably not satisfied, and Prime Minister Zuo is not satisfied either. Alas, Lord Hou has really seized on this king's weakness, knowing that I can't bear to refuse."

"Whether it's the emperor or the left minister, there is no better candidate, the prince knows it well." Marquis Wu Ning is not a fool either.

"Really? The generals stationed on the frontier, General Fan, can call back to Beijing, as can the Fang family in the west. Besides, there are a lot of generals over there, so it's not difficult for Prime Minister Zuo to just bring one back."

Li Li obviously didn't like this, seeing Wu Ninghou's solemn expression, he smiled faintly.

Then he looked directly at Fan Zhiyuan and asked, "Then my General Fan, do you want this position?"

……

Marquis Wu Ning left in satisfaction, the two great scholars shook their heads and sighed, their expressions a bit complicated.

I thought it would take a little effort to persuade someone like Li Li who is not in touch with the left and right.But what I didn't expect was that in the end, Li Li's accommodating was not because of the favors and righteousness they offered, but because of masculinity.

Fan Zhiyuan just expressed his attitude on the spot, and the prince really agreed.

Marquis Wu Ning is really good at it!

General Fan actually wanted to leave too, but unfortunately someone didn't let him go and stayed.

Fan Zhiyuan walked back with Li Li, his expression was as complicated as his mood.

But Li Li didn't seem to feel it, and still happily led him around the mansion, introducing the layout to him personally.

There is only one meaning - come here often in the future, don't be polite, treat yourself as your own home.

When the two passed through a door with hanging flowers, Fan Zhiyuan couldn't help asking: "How do you plan to press this matter, Prime Minister Zuo may not let it go."

"It's simple. Tomorrow, the queen mother will come down with an edict to clarify this matter. I will deal with it vaguely." Li Li beat the fan, pointed to the lakeside and said, "Come on, let's go sit in the pavilion. It's rare for you to come here. The lotus is in full bloom, so beautiful, and a group of fat fishes are also raised, and when the time comes, catch one for dinner."

However, there was someone by the lake, who was eating peanuts with his legs crossed, while closing his eyes and resting his mind, looking very comfortable.

Hearing Li Li's voice, he raised his head to take a look, and at this look, the drowsiness was scared away!

"Why is Second Senior Brother here?" Yunxi murmured, but he didn't have time to dwell on this issue for the time being, because Li Li had warned him not to appear in front of Fan Zhiyuan!

Don't look at Li Li smiling and loving this little junior brother very much, but if his good deed is ruined, Yunxi will definitely not be able to bear it, crying and begging for mercy is useless, especially if the second senior brother is involved.

However, this place is a small pavilion by the lake, surrounded by the lake on three sides, and the only place is a long wind and rain corridor. At this moment, Li Li is walking here with Fan Zhiyuan. If he leaves here, he will be able to bump into him !

Yunxi was so anxious that he turned around in place, and finally at the moment when Li Li was about to see him, he became ruthless, stepped on the handrail of the pavilion, took a deep breath, and performed the best lightness kung fu he had learned in his life to step on With Xue Wuhen's ability, she stepped on the lotus leaf and swished her back to the two of them towards the center of the lake... Finally, with a plop, she plunged into the lake water, causing circles of spray.

Such a big movement immediately alarmed the two of them. Fan Zhiyuan's eyes flickered, thinking that the spy had entered the palace and was about to chase after him, but Li Li who was beside him grabbed him: "No, let him go!"

Li Li had recovered at this time, and soon knew who it was just now.

Xin said that he almost revealed his secrets, but fortunately, the brat broke his wrist and jumped into the lake in time. Given the depth and distance of the lake, even Fan Zhiyuan, no matter how good his eyesight is, he probably wouldn't be able to see who it was, right?

Fan Zhiyuan always felt that the figure who left without effort was somewhat familiar, but it was too far away to see clearly, but Li Li's reaction was a little strange.

"In the house?"

"Well, a hidden pile."

As soon as these words came out, it was difficult for Fan Zhiyuan to ask more questions.

Li Li breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Fan Zhiyuan who was still frowning with a hint of doubt, and secretly enjoyed himself.

Although it's okay to know, but it loses a sense of fun and purity, and he doesn't want to ask for favors in return.
