I run a newspaper in ancient times

In the court hall, the scene three months ago happened again.

An inconspicuous speech officer greatly praised the gossip tabloids, sought justice for innocent people, and exposed the conspiracy of the Su clan, thus preventing a poor woman from suffering.Going forward, Shen Song's dereliction of duty, buying and selling the quota of the forbidden army, causing bad influence and being able to close the case quickly is also the credit of the gossip tabloids.

"I think that the column of voices of the people is exactly what the court needs. As an official, you should know the difficulties of the people, and you should listen to the voices of the people, so that you can get the wishes of the people. Unfortunately, living in the temple hall, my eyes and ears are closed, and my heart is powerless. Now there is this way, the people believe and are willing to speak out, the court should give more support to the government, and encourage more words to spread to the court. Therefore, I ask you to include the gossip tabloids in the court organization and open another department !"

As soon as this remark came out, a needle could be heard in the hall, it sounded so familiar.

Everyone looked at Prime Minister Zuo in unison, thinking that Prime Minister Zuo finally couldn't bear it anymore, is he going to attack the gossip tabloids?

Also, the current Prince Yi's ambitions are obvious, and he provokes again and again, which is unbearable!

The officials of Zhou's faction also look at me and you, hesitating whether to come out to agree or oppose, because they have not received the intention of the left minister in advance, but it seems that it is the arrangement of the left minister.

With such hesitation, no one stood up to object immediately.

So Gu Ru, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have seconded the council. In the past, gossip tabloids did not care about government affairs, and it didn't matter whether they were accepted or not. Now that it involves the people of the world, it is natural that we can no longer let them speak freely. Please open your speech, Your Majesty." The department and all the officials supervise, and it will also avoid the worries of the left minister and the ministers of the DPRK and China."

This is even more strange.

Gu Rushi is a royalist, but he also agrees to curb gossip and tabloids?

So is this what it means to be left-handed?It sounds a little dangling.

Marquis Wu Ning's expression instantly became weird, his brows were tightly frowned, he couldn't believe that Prime Minister Zuo would make such a stupid move.

Will it be the same three months ago as it will be three months from now?Even if Li Li was so angry that he lost his mind, he shouldn't have passed the ladder to him!

"Left Prime Minister?" the Minister of the Ministry of Officials standing behind him called out.

Hubu Shangshu next to him whispered in disapproval: "This is not a good way!"

The left hand held the fluorene board firmly in his hand, his eyes twitched.

"It's not the old man's meaning." He replied, with an indescribable aggrieved expression in his words.

Even if he wanted to open a company, he would send another official to run a court tabloid. How could he foolishly give Li Li a chance?

It's just that he just had an idea about this matter, and he hasn't discussed it with his confidants yet. He didn't expect that the court would directly mention it!

Gu Rushi stood close, and couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth when he heard it.

Emperor Yan, who was sitting high on Majesty Dan, had a panoramic view of this scene, and almost laughed out loud in his heart.

His little fox brother, how could he just sit and wait for him to deal with others, and directly strike first.

He then made a solemn face, so he acted in disbelief: "What Aiqing said is true. Since I am an emperor, I should put the people first. If it is beneficial to the country and the court, I will be the master, and I will..."

"Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Zuo finally stood up. In fact, it is not good for him to directly object to this matter, but he has no choice. With the brand of the imperial court, the people are afraid that they will lose their justice."

This is very embarrassing.

Emperor Yan immediately said: "I don't understand what Prime Minister Zuo said. You didn't seem to say that before, did you?"

Gu Rushi interjected: "Words of speech are like a double-edged sword. If the court does not guide them and let them speak freely, it may cause chaos in the world. The people will only know the tabloids but not the court. This will damage the emperor's power and make the court Without prestige, the country is in danger."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand towards Prime Minister Zuo and asked with a faint smile, "Prime Minister Zuo, did you recite the words correctly?"

The end of Zuo Xiang's eyes twitched violently, wanting to take off Gu Rushi's smiling face.

Jumping left and right in the hall is the most taboo, capricious, this question put Zuo Xiang into an awkward situation.

Even though his old face was already red, Prime Minister Zuo still said calmly: "Your Majesty Gu is worthy of being the number one scholar, and his ability to memorize people's words is really unmatched. But this time is not the other time, who knows that Prince Yi has such great ambitions, old minister However, I tried to persuade him only for fear of making mistakes. But now that I think about it, this trip is really unnecessary. Only when the gossip tabloids are among the people can they attract people to come here. Once the court interferes, it will be like a gap between latitude and longitude. It's daunting."

The left minister raised the fluorene board and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this old minister thinks something is wrong."

In terms of power in the court, Emperor Yan was far inferior to Zuo Xiang. Even though he knew it was unreasonable, four of the six ministers came out one after another, including the Minister of War Wu Ninghou.

At his step, the military generals followed in twos and threes. Looking at it this way, the court seemed to be alone while standing still.

When Emperor Yan saw this, the smile that was originally on his lips froze immediately.

The reason why the Left Prime Minister favors the government and the opposition is not aimless.

"Your Majesty, the gossip tabloids cost a lot of money and almost emptied Prince Liyi's mansion. I have the final say. I'm afraid the treasury will not be able to spend this money to compensate the prince. After all, there is still a lot of money to be raised for the flood in the south. I ask the emperor to forgive me." ” Said the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.

Even though he knew it would be such a result, Emperor Yan couldn't let it go.

In the end, he looked coldly at the Minister of the Household Department: "You just remember what you said today, and retire from the court."

"Back to court—" Zhang Banban shouted loudly.

Emperor Yan shook his sleeves and left.

After he left, Prime Minister Zuo slowly left the hall. In fact, his expression was not much better than that of Emperor Yan.

Outside the hall, Marquis Wu Ning was already waiting.

"Stay on the left."

Prime Minister Zuo looked at Marquis Wu Ning, his dignified expression eased a little and said: "Master Hou, this is not what I mean."

Marquis Wu Ning saw clearly what happened just now, so naturally there would be no misunderstanding.

He just asked: "The emperor has always been conservative, he would think twice before doing anything, why would he suddenly propose such a proposal?"

Prime Minister Zuo twitched the corner of his mouth: "Who else is there? Our lord, he deliberately wants to be right with us." Looking at the nine white marble bridges outside the hall, Prime Minister Zuo said faintly, "Full of vigor and courage. Great mind, good means!"

Marquis Wu Ning frowned: "This Marquis doesn't understand, what's the benefit of doing what he did today? If you don't agree, Prime Minister Zuo, how can the Emperor insist on going his own way?"

Prime Minister Zuo snorted when he heard the words, and thought that a warrior is a warrior, and he only looked at things so one-sidedly. It was the same when he handed over the forbidden army to Fan Zhiyuan. Otherwise, if it was Fangzheng's hands, would he still be worried about that kid Li Li playing tricks?

Hubu Shangshu came over and said: "Master Hou, if you do this, you will prevent us from opening another newspaper in the name of the court! People's words are scary, but they can also be controlled and guided. Gossip tabloids will give it away." Are we a good example?"

Just like Su Yue's case, although she is a victim, she doesn't serve her in-laws, makes a scene in front of her husband's mourning hall, and doesn't want to adopt a stepchild. It is a criticism in this era.

However, after three consecutive issues of gossip tabloid reports, people's impression of Su Yue has become a girl who is persistent and self-improving. Even if she is criticized and framed, she is brave and fearless. With sympathy and admiration, there are very few people who question her.

This seems fair and just, but no matter how straightforward the writing is, as long as the person who writes it is a little selfish, he will favor one side.

The so-called public opinion orientation.

"So that's how it is. Prime Minister Zuo has far-sighted plans." The military commander hates this kind of sloppy things, but he also understands the key to it.

"I'm ashamed, I'm old, not as strong and quick-witted as Prince Yi." The left minister really admired Li Li for this, and he had already started planning at such a young age.

If it was not the current prince who was in power back then, he thought about it, and the power in his hand might have been withdrawn long ago.

"Is the left minister still planning to start a newspaper? Ben Hou is willing to help."

Marquis Wu Ning already understood what the emperor said to Hubu Shangshu at the end today.

If you want to start a tabloid, you can only do it in your own name. If you use the money from the imperial court, you will be punished for the crime of embezzling the treasury.

"Do it, of course we have to do it, but wanting to compete with the prince's gossip tabloids doesn't happen overnight. Compared with it, another thing is probably more feasible."

"The left phase refers to..."

The Prime Minister from the left smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness is talented, intelligent and capable, and now I am afraid that everyone knows about it. Fan Zhiyuan is loyal to the Emperor because of His Highness, and Gu Rushi is also recommended by His Highness, and the gossip tabloids are all over the place from beginning to end." It is held in the hands of the prince alone... If there is no prince, what is our emperor?"

There was no sense of solemnity on his face just now, he was indifferent, and he was carelessly touching the embroidery pattern on his sleeve.

"The emperor must be well aware of this."

Since ancient times, Zhongliang has died of whom, looking up at the sky, the emperor is also.

While peeling the grapes, Li Li listened to his brother's anger burning.

To be honest, any emperor would be furious when he saw this kind of scene, and if he didn't roar out on the spot, Emperor Yan could bear it.

"This world is not a world with the surname Li, I am afraid that the surname is Zhou already! Do they know how to write loyalty to the monarch and defend the country? Do they still remember the righteousness of the world in the books of sages and sages for many years? I am afraid that they only remember the selfish faces. Struggle for power! They don't see me as an emperor!"

Green grapes, slowly peel off the skin, leaving only the moist and plump flesh, and then put it into the mouth, the sweet and moist taste instantly exploded in the mouth... Li Li squinted his eyes contentedly, and took the handkerchief beside him Wiping the tip of his finger, he took off another one, taking his time.

Suddenly, the sound in his ears stopped, Li Li turned his head and saw Emperor Yan looking at him with a worried expression.

He couldn't help blinking innocently, and handed one: "Brother Huang, do you want it?"

Emperor Yan's heart was blocked in one breath. He looked at Li Li who was not taking it seriously, and suddenly felt that he had been emperor for nothing for many years, and he didn't even have this composure.

Thinking of this, he sat down without interest and said, "Eat it, if you like it, have someone wrap it up and take it home to eat."

"That's kind, bring some to my general."

Li Li put it down happily, and called Zhang Banban to come and pack.

Seeing this, Emperor Yan had nothing to say, and a sense of powerlessness enveloped his heart.

Li Li tilted his head, poked his imperial brother's arm with his finger and said, "Don't be discouraged, at least the number of hard-hearted people in the court has increased this time, which shows that the imperial brother's dragon prestige is getting stronger."

"The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is getting old. He doesn't care about things. He didn't stand up. It doesn't mean he is loyal to me. He just doesn't want to participate in the peace. There is only one Gu Rushi. If it weren't for you, there would be no one at the second rank. "

After five years, the people who are loyal to the emperor have died, and the emperor has indeed failed.

Blindly trembling with fear of being killed is not without reason.

But it's not his fault. Among the many princes, he was selected by powerful ministers to be promoted to the throne. His qualifications are very mediocre. Otherwise, how can he be a puppet?

But as long as he can trust him, he can keep things in the future and keep the people in mind, that's enough. Li Li will do the rest by himself.

He looked at Emperor Yan with a sad face, and smiled slightly: "Brother, just wait and see, the destiny belongs to the emperor, and the world always belongs to the emperor."

Emperor Yan nodded weakly.

Li Li left the palace with the grapes bestowed by the emperor, and rode slowly to the General's Mansion.

Emperor Yan was right about one thing, almost all of these six books were at a disadvantage to them, why would they have to pull one or two more.

"So, who is the next unlucky guy?" Fan Zhiyuan was peeling grapes in his hand, and put them one by one on the side plate. The emerald green flesh made people very appetizing.

"The Ministry of Officials is a heavenly official, and the Ministry of Households is an official of the earth. Among the six departments, they are respected. Who do you think is better to step aside?"

Li Li propped his chin, tilted his head, picked up a peeled grape with his pale fingers and put it in his mouth.Although it was nominally brought to Fan Zhiyuan to eat, most of them fell into his mouth in the end.

"Delicious! Hey, it's the same grape, why do you think it tastes better here?" Li Li asked with a smile on his finger, looking at Fan Zhiyuan.

The latter didn't pay attention to what he meant, but continued to flick his fingers, peeled off the skins of the grapes, and put them in front of Li Li.

"Why, you both have a handle?"

After finally peeling a plate of grapes, Fan Zhiyuan wiped the handkerchief on the side, but as soon as he raised his head, a grape was stuffed into his mouth.

Fan Zhiyuan's movements stopped immediately, but when he saw Li Li retracting his fingers and licking the juice on them, his body froze, and his eyes fixed on Li Li's two fingers.

With that forceful swipe just now, besides the grapes, his lips actually touched Li Li's fingers... The touch is still on his lips.

Li Li wondered why the man's face turned red all of a sudden, but when he realized what he had just done, he couldn't help but also froze.

For a moment, their eyes widened and their eyes widened, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.

Li Li pinched his fingers involuntarily, and the wet feeling seemed to become more obvious.

"Ahem, that... Of course there are, all of them are filthy rich, there is no guarantee for others, corruption and bribery can't escape regularly, I have been paying attention to them for a long time."

Emma, ​​he licked his fingers just now, does that mean they kissed indirectly?

Suddenly a little excited, he raised his head to look at Fan Zhiyuan who was full of discomfort, rolled his eyes, and asked with a smile: "Brother General, do you want to eat another one, let me feed you?"

Fan Zhiyuan: "..." He was obviously talking about serious things, but why did he suddenly become so serious?

He tried his best to ignore the strangeness in his heart, then pretended not to see the grape in Li Li's hand, and said, "You never do things aimlessly. It doesn't matter which of these two comes first, but if someone steps down, you will be the replacement." Ready to choose?"

"All right."

Fan Zhiyuan thought for a moment, but he didn't think that anyone else in the court would be suitable, could it be another Gu Rushi?

He was curious and wanted to ask, but Li Li smiled and said, "Eat another one, and I'll tell you, okay? Or you can feed me."

Li Li opened her mouth obediently and waited.

So Fan Zhiyuan stood up and said: "It's already late at night, the prince should go to bed early, and Fan will leave."

"Eh?" Li Li called him, "Isn't this your bedroom? The bed is so big, we sleep together, how about having a candlelit night talk? Let me tell you!"

"No, Fan is sleeping in the guest room." After speaking, Fan Zhiyuan strode away, no matter how he looked at his back, he felt like he was fleeing.

In the general's mansion, the dignified general himself wants to sleep in the guest room, and he is probably the only one.

Li Li stared at his upright back, cursing at Mu Mu in his heart.
