I run a newspaper in ancient times

The page of the gossip tabloid has already been vacated, and all the editors are in place to write.

What the news pays attention to in real time is fast writing. After staying up all night, the reporter listened to the Yunzhou people's unjust case at the Ministry of Criminal Justice. in front of people.

Many people know that someone from Yunzhou sued the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, which aroused turmoil in the court, and the faction of the left minister and Prince Yi were at war.However, most of them don't know what it is and what the charges are.

But they're not worried, and they don't need to bother asking, because there are tabloids.

In today's capital, people have formed the habit of taking a glance at gossip tabloids for major and minor matters, and they can grasp the dynamics of Beijing and China, which is much faster than official mansion newspapers, and the content is clear and unobtrusive.

If the situation is serious, additional publications will be printed urgently. In terms of efficiency, it is the number one.

Sure enough, early the next morning, those who booked for the whole year had already received the periodicals of the gossip tabloids, which still smelled like ink.

One of the tabloid's favorite forms of reporting is the question-and-answer interview.

Authentic, gracious, accurate, empathetic, and the dialogue is a much easier read.

The questioner was Song Guogong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, supplemented by Zuo Huan, Minister of Dali Temple. The five people in Yunzhou mainly answered with Meng Xian, and told the people of the world word by word, what happened in Yunzhou.

It is shocking to say that the Ministry of Punishment's exchange of prisoners and hard work directly touches the lives of the lowest-level death row prisoners and vagrants, which violates the law of the country and loses justice.

However, after all, the number of victims is relatively small, and they act secretly, and they know how to cover up and whitewash the peace, so it is difficult for ordinary people to find out.

But Yunzhou...is a nightmare for the people of the city.

Robbery of land, heavy taxes and heavy labor, and various forms of exploitation. They can only sell their children and daughters and their bodies and lives. They can't help themselves, and the life of a dog is more comfortable than that of a human.

"Where is the Emperor of Earth here? He is clearly the King of Hades, and he still needs the consent of the Yuan family to die. How unreasonable!"

"I don't agree, if you don't pay for the coffin, your grave will be dug for you! What kind of robbers and bandits are you!"

"Exploitation twice every three days, mother, who can survive?"

"Bitter, really bitter!"

"It took a lot of effort for the five people to escape. Look, they all said it. I can't count the number of killers I encountered along the way."

"It's too poor and vicious. It's not a pity for this kind of person to die. What kind of official is he not taking the lives of ordinary people as his own!"

"Fortunately, Prince Yi is the only one who dares to touch these high officials."

"Yes, if the imperial court doesn't rectify it, will the common people still have a way out?"

"Behead! All have to be beheaded! This kind of person will go to the [-]th floor of hell, and the sin karma on his body will not be erased!"

"Justice must be returned to the people of Yunzhou!"

"Destroy the Yuan family!"

……

As long as the gossip tabloid is booked, it will be delivered to the door. Even if Zuo Xiang is fighting with Prince Yi, this service is still considerate.

Of course, it also seemed extremely arrogant.

"Liu Qiwen was sent to Liangzhou as county magistrate by a decree."

Zhen Weimin, Minister of the Household Department, frowned and said, "The emperor didn't protect him!"

"How about it, our emperor is dissatisfied. Once the prince becomes tough, he dare not say a word like he did in front of the old man." Zuo Xiang put down the gossip tabloid, pointed to the headline and sighed regretfully. , "Zifang will not be able to stay after all, I am ashamed."

"Master Xiang has tried his best, and the evidence is so solid that there is no room for maneuver." Zhen Weimin comforted him, but at the same time he couldn't help complaining, "It was because Zifang was too careless and lost her vigilance that Prince Yi seized the opportunity."

The left minister listened but still shook his head and blamed himself: "Don't blame him, the old man is useless."

"Master, don't do this. For today's plan, I'm afraid that Zifang will say something that shouldn't be said, and explain things that are not good for us." Although Zhen Weimin said calmly, he was already flustered in his heart. He and Yuan Meiqing had left in the morning. It is impossible for the prime minister's ship to change its course midway, so it can only go one way to the dark.

Prime Minister Zuo glanced at him, seemed to see his worry, couldn't help laughing and said: "No hurry, the old man has already made arrangements when Xiong Ling was imprisoned. It has nothing to do with you and me, but someone else instigated to frame the old man and open another lawsuit."

"Xiangye is far-sighted, and the next official can rest assured." Zhen Weimin breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought that his colleague would become Li Li in the future, his face instantly became sad, "Once Zifang leaves, is it true that the next thing is true?" It is speculated that Prince Yi will take over as the Ministry of Officials?"

Zhen Weimin was already scared when the two colleagues ended up one after the other. If Li Li would stand in front of him every day in the future, holding a fan and smiling lightly on the surface, but he didn't know how to calculate on the inside. Faint.

Prince Yi is young and young, but this strategy is not inferior to those old fritters, and even deeper in the city.

Prime Minister Zuo was naturally unwilling, but due to the situation, he said: "The prince took Liu Qiwen to the knife, disregarded the emperor's face, and directly relegated to a poor land. Obviously he did not intend to compromise. He is the minister of the official department. "

"Then..." Zhen Weimin licked his lips, with a bitter expression on his face, and looked at the prime minister on the left, "The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and the officials who are slowly leaning over according to the wind, Mr. Xiang, we want to send the The prince presses down, I'm afraid it won't be so easy..."

"Press it down?" Zuo Xiang asked strangely, and then laughed loudly, "No, Zida, you are wrong. Not only can we not press it down, but we have to lift the prince up, this old man in the court has held on for long enough , it should be replaced by another person, and the prince will have the final say in the future, and let his family dominate."

"This..." Zhen Weimin opened his eyes, then thoughtfully, he asked, "Isn't Mr. Xiang taking too much risk, if these two brothers join forces, wouldn't there be no room for fighting back? "

The left minister shook his head: "This old man's surname is Zhou, not Li. After all, the rulers of the world are the Li family. The emperor is jealous, but it is not unbearable. But if the prince is in power, the emperor does not even have an heir now, and the queen mother is obviously more serious." Love the prince, it's too easy to change someone on the dragon chair!"

After hearing this, Zhen Weimin couldn't help nodding his head: "Furthermore, the Forbidden Army is still in Fan Zhiyuan's hands. Compared to when it was restrained by Marquis Wu Ning back then, I'm afraid it will make the emperor even more uncomfortable."

Who didn't know that Fan Zhiyuan was Li Li's guest of honor, almost to the point of obeying his advice.

Perhaps if the latter asked him to kill the king, Fan Zhiyuan would agree without hesitation, right?

"In this way, this is our chance!"

If Emperor Yan didn't want to sit still, he would naturally have to find another foreign aid, and at that time, the only ones who could fight against Li Li were the Zuo Xiang.

There has never been an eternal enemy in this world, only eternal interests.

But with Emperor Yan's disposition, he didn't have such a broad mind to calmly watch Li Li's growing power, just by seeing Yuan Meiqing summoned in the middle of the night, he knew that he was worried and fearful!

The left-hander's gaze seemed to see through everything, and he was sure of winning.

The sound of high-fives came, and Zhen Weimin exclaimed: "Wonderful! The master's mind-boggling strategy really impresses the lower officials!"

Zuo Xiang smiled and waved his hands: "Ashamed, there is no other way."

"However, I still have some worries." Zhen Weimin hesitated.

"Oh? It's okay for Zida to be blunt."

"I'm afraid that the prince's power will surpass you and me, and the emperor can't stop him at all. Xiangye, I have to admit that in terms of reputation, ability, and influence, it is not surprising if the prince proclaims himself emperor. Looking at the court, I am afraid there will be a lot of trouble." Few people are happy to see its success, let alone the common people."

What Emperor Yan did, he didn't do anything, almost all Li Li cleared the obstacles for him, which caused the people to recognize the prince and not the emperor.

People can see who is doing practical things.

Prince Yi is more suitable to be an emperor than today, even Zhen Weimin himself thinks so.

"The prince only needs to find an excuse, and even let the emperor die suddenly...it will be a matter of course."

Now inside and outside the capital, is there anything Li Li can't do?

But Zuo Xiang smiled: "If the prince really has such a heart, then he has no choice but to admit it. Just looking at the actions these few times, although he acted vigorously and with great means, it is a pity that he is too open and aboveboard, with a strong sense of human feelings. Such a person, there is one of the deadliest His weakness is his soft heart, and he cannot be ruthless as an emperor."

Think about how Liu Qiwen sowed dissension, yet he was still a county magistrate. If it was in the hands of the left minister, he would have died for a long time.

How can a woman's benevolence accomplish great things?

There are no doubts about the Yunzhou case, the evidence is conclusive, and every item is enough to chop off people's heads.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple worked together to sort out the case within a few days, and this time there was no interference from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the progress went smoothly.

According to the law of the country, it is not too much for the Yuan family to copy and kill.

No one in the court had any objection to this verdict, Emperor Yan agreed on the spot, and sent officials to Yunzhou to arrest the Yuan family.

The next step is the appointment of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Emperor Yan was not surprised to see courtiers one after another stand up and propose Prince Yi, whether it was Zuo Xiang, Marquis Wu Ning, or even Gu Rushi, they all seconded the proposal.

Although Li Li is not in the imperial court, he is already the official official secretary.

Although Emperor Yan had already prepared for this, seeing this scene cast a shadow over his heart after all.

It rained tonight, the patter was not heavy, but it brought the chill of late autumn, as if there was a harbinger of winter all of a sudden.

Fan Zhiyuan was on duty in the palace, Li Li propped his chin and looked out the window, his dark face looked particularly terrifying under the dim light, when Yunxi came in, he almost rolled out again in fright.

"What is this for?" Yunxi complained, patting her chest.

"Can you still see your face? You are young, like an old tree bark. If you don't repair it, you won't be able to get your wife. Come and take care of it with me."

Yunxi touched her face. In fact, she has nourished a lot in the capital for a few days.

He was young and recovered quickly, but compared with Li Li's smooth and white face, he was indeed a bit rough.

Yunxi is by Li Li's side, and he doesn't agree with anything else, but he firmly believes in this point. A pretty face is easy to do anything, and it shines brightly as soon as it goes out. Sisters and sisters stare at him, thinking about it, they think it's beautiful .

Besides, with Li Li's emphasis on beauty, Yunxi would not be willing to use the medicinal materials well and would not feel distressed.

No rubbing, no rubbing.

So he didn't say much, lay down obediently, and let Nan go to apply the mask for him.

The two brothers were lying side by side on the reclining chair. Yunxi looked at Li Li, who was lying gracefully with his hands folded on his chest, and suddenly asked, "Eldest brother, are you a little unhappy?"

With her eyes closed, Li Li gave a soft "hmm".

"Because the second senior brother entered the palace and didn't accompany you?"

"Am I such a clingy person?" Li Li opened his eyes and asked back.

"Why is that? Who messed with you, how about I teach him a lesson for you, how about secretly administering some itching medicine, and you will be honest immediately after a safekeeping experience." Yunxi encouraged, "It is more effective than extorting a confession by torture, just improved Yes, I haven't tried the medicine yet."

Hearing this, Li Li giggled, seemed to be pleased, and shook his head while laughing: "Others can, but this one can't."

As soon as the words fell, Donglai walked in and said, "My lord, the imperial decree is here."

Ok?

"Come at such a late night?" Yunxi asked in surprise.

Li Li smiled lightly: "You can come early or late, but I don't like it, so I procrastinated." After speaking, he closed his eyes again, and ordered, "Let the decree wait."

When it was about the same time, Nan Xiang brought warm water to wash Li Li's face, and then applied skin care products before the latter got up to receive the imperial edict.

Li Li went away for a while and then came back, casually throwing Ming Huang's imperial decree aside.

Yunxi opened it and took a look, and was very surprised: "Eldest brother, is this a high official appointment for you? Minister of the Ministry of Officials..." However, he looked at Li Li's unhappy face and said puzzledly, " You are not happy because of this, right?"

Li Li curled her lips: "Yeah, it's a thankless job, and you can't sleep in. That one doesn't appreciate it."
