The emperor is embarrassed

Lu Wenmu had heard about the fact that Lu Laoba was taken away by Yin Tian Wanhua of the imperial capital, and because he was of the same surname and family, Lu Wenmu also felt quite ashamed.

It's just that no matter what happens, General Lu's Mansion will never be able to control the affairs of Uncle Nanfeng's Mansion.

Now, if Lu Wentao is invited, Lu Wenmu will naturally go.

When Lu Wenmu arrived, Lu Wentao was fidgeting in the study. When he saw Lu Wenmu, he hurriedly said, "Brother Mu, you are here, something big is going to happen." Yes, it must not be a trivial matter, Lu Wenmu hurried forward, and saw that Lu Wentao was holding a stack of wide-ranging manuscripts in his hand, with densely packed small letters on it.

Lu Wenmu took it and looked at it carefully, almost dizzy, and said angrily, "What is the origin of this Shen, who dares to stain our Lu family's name with red lips and white teeth!"

Although Shen Zhuoyan missed Chun Wei.

However, he is more well-known than the Three Tripod Armor in this world.

Before the gold list, Shen Zhuoyan's name had already become popular in the imperial capital.

It shows that Zhan ordered Wei Ziyao to run a newspaper. Wei Ziyao's writing skills were limited, and Wei Zimin's selfishness caused troubles, so he asked Shen Zhuoyan to be the lead writer.

In order to make a gimmick, Ming Zhan specially titled the newspaper: Royal Newspaper.

Although Ming Zhan's handwriting is really not good, but he is the king of a country, even if it is not good, there are countless people who pick it up and praise it.

The matter of Lu Laoba being published in the newspaper naturally starts with the grievances between Lu Laoba and the main writer Shen Zhuoyan.

Wei Ziyao has a specialization in art, eating, drinking and having fun, and he is only familiar with these.Shen Zhuoyan said that young people are bold, and said, "Who would like to watch all these food, drink, music and singing! You have to write something eye-catching."

Then he wrote about the recent major events in the imperial capital, the closure of Mingyue Tower, and the rape case involving Lu Laoba, the boss behind the scenes.

Shen Zhuoyan has an old grudge against Lu Laoba, and he dare not forget it for a day.

Think about the proud self-esteem of the ancients, not to mention Shen Zhuo said that a young man is tall, and he has won the exam.Moreover, he thought that Lu Laoba was responsible for the mistaken examination of Chunwei, and the combination of deep hatred and hatred made the people of the imperial capital really understand Shen Caizi's harsh writing style.

Shen Zhuoyan dissected the case of Lu Laoba Mingyuelou from the lintel of Lu's family, step by step, he said how hateful it is that Lu's family used their power to do evil.Even the Lu clan had two sons-in-law, and everyone in the imperial capital thought that his son was worthy, but they didn't know that the name didn't match the truth, and so on.

There are not many first printings of the royal press, a thousand copies.

It is not expensive to sell, [-] big boards a piece.

You must know that printing costs are extremely high in this era, and an ordinary "The Analects of Confucius" costs one tael of silver.So there are often poor scholars and poor scholars. Why are you poor? Books are too expensive, and if you have to buy them, you will naturally be poor.

The one who sold the newspaper was not someone else. Wei Ziyao pulled a dozen or so slaves from his home, shouting in the streets and alleys, and the slogan was decided by Ming Zhan and Shen Zhuo. Yes, you have to say it out loud."

The servant of Cheng Engong Mansion nodded tremblingly, and said in a low voice, "I still have to shout out what to sell." Then he demonstrated it himself, standing in the middle of the street and hawking vigorously, "Newspapers, royal newspapers, thirty dollars a piece set!"

Ming Zhan nodded happily, reminiscent of the old Shanghai poster boy in the warlord period in the TV series in his previous life, and said with a smile, "I have to report the most interesting content in the newspaper."

Shen Zhuoyan had an idea, and immediately raised a newspaper in one hand, and shouted loudly, "Royal newspaper! Royal newspaper! The eighth master of Uncle Nanfeng's Lu family is suspected of adultery and rape, and has recently been imprisoned in the imperial capital!"

Ming Zhan laughed secretly, not knowing how much this kid had a deep hatred with the Lu family.

You must choose a good location to sell things, like the most prosperous Suzaku Street in the imperial capital, which Shen Zhuoyan chose.He shouted loudly, and everyone looked sideways.

A thousand copies of newspapers and periodicals were exhausted, they were all sold out, and they got 30 taels of silver, which Ming Zhan used to invite Wei Ziyao and Shen Zhuoyan to dinner, and the servants who worked hard downstairs also set up a table, spending a total of ten taels.With the remaining 20 taels, Ming Zhan said to Wei Ziyao, "Your hard work paid off."

Wei Ziyao smiled and put it away.

On the second day, Shen Zhuo said that he was very popular and Wei Ziyao was famous.

If you let Ming Zhan say it, Shen Zhuoyan is really a rare smart person.Although Shen Zhuoyan offended the Lu family severely, he not only gained fame, but also gained Qingliu's favor.

You know, since ancient times, the wealthy families of the Qing Dynasty have been at odds with each other.

Scholars are always a little rigid.

Shen Zhuoyan is not this way, in Ming Zhan's view, Shen Zhuoyan is quite talented in hype.

Lu Wenmu was pissed off by this newspaper, because he had the same surname and family as Uncle Nanfeng's mansion, and General Lu's mansion was shot while lying down.

Just as Lu Wenmu wanted to ask Shen Zhuoyan about the details, and to make trouble for Shen Zhuoyan, he opened the newspaper and looked up the four large characters, Royal Pen.

Ming Zhan was afraid that others would not know his name, so he added his own name—Feng Mingzhan—under the "Royal Newspaper".

If it weren't for Lu Wenmu's current mission to go smoothly, to regain the favor of the emperor, and to be a son-in-law, he would have to wonder if Ming Zhan wanted to kill the Lu family.

Lu Wenmu was very confident and rascally said, "Brother Tao is His Majesty's brother-in-law, and I am His Majesty's brother-in-law. The princess's husband's family has a bad reputation, and it is of no benefit to Your Majesty."

Lu Wentao looked into Lu Wenmu's eyes, and said, "I want to discuss with Brother Mu whether we should play a book on the boy surnamed Shen in the morning court." The family is innocent, how can we acquiesce?

Lu Wenmu said, "Since there is an inscription by the emperor, I think the emperor knows about it? The emperor also saves face, and there are many people in the early court. Why don't you ask for a private meeting after the court, and ask the emperor to uphold justice."

Of course, I have to talk to the princess's wife when I get home, and ask the wives to have a relationship in secret.

After the two discussed, they planned to sue Shen Zhuo for talking nonsense.

As for Wei Ziyao, the two tacitly didn't mention it.After all, the Wei family is the mother family of the Empress Dowager, the old lady is notorious for being unreasonable and only partial to help, the worst thing is that her seniority is so high, I am really annoyed, I am ashamed, even Ming Zhan can only suffer, let alone They are two little fish and shrimp.

Therefore, Wei Ziyao escaped unharmed.

Lin Yongshang didn't take it seriously.

The aristocratic family is bullshit in his eyes, not to mention that his nephew has the demeanor of a censor who was not afraid of the powerful, and he really praised Shen Zhuoyan a few words.

Shen Zhuoyan took out five taels of silver to Lin Yongshang, "The newspaper was sold for 30 taels, and ten taels was used for drinking, and the remaining 20 taels, Wei Ziyao and I were each five taels, and the remaining ten taels were used to reward the slaves. They must be called out to sell newspapers."

Lin Yongshang accepted it, and smiled, "You can even earn money when you come to the imperial capital."

"That is." Shen Zhuoyan frowned, "However, it is estimated that the Lu family will trouble me."

"I'm afraid he will do something, but this is something the emperor just nodded to print." Lin Yongshang was not worried, Ming Zhan's weird and strong temperament must have his own plans.

Shen Zhuoyan couldn't help laughing, "Uncle, the emperor is very interesting, not at all like what uncle said. After we finished eating, the emperor asked the store to give us a bottle of wine for free. Well, Wei Ziyao took the wine back .”

"What do you know, being with a king is like being with a tiger." Lin Yongshang said, "If you have something to ask the emperor, don't make up your own mind. The emperor is not a simple person."

"Although it is not simple, I think the emperor has a good character."

"Just treat you to a meal..." Is your character good?Lin Yongshang didn't say the last four words, and cast a contemptuous glance at his nephew, "Fortunately, I didn't become an official, otherwise, being an official is also a corrupt official."

"What's so good about being an official?" Shen Zhuo said, "You are an official to do things for His Majesty, and I am doing things for His Majesty now, it's the same in the end, it's just that your name sounds better."

Lin Yongshang knocked him on the head, "Who are you? Huh? You are so bold."

Shen Zhuoyan was lying on the bamboo chair in the courtyard, looking at the countless stars in the sky, turned his head and smiled at Lin Yongshang, "Uncle, I like to do things for His Majesty."

Lin Yongshang ignored him, Shen Zhuoyan continued, "Although Your Majesty is not as tall and powerful as I imagined, he is more humane."

The humane emperor looked at his brother-in-law and brother-in-law who were kneeling on the ground, scratched his itchy chin, and looked out the window melancholy.

Although many years have passed, Ming Zhan still feels that the things of this era are really exquisite.The wooden windows are painted red, intricately cut into many neat and regular grids, and there are exquisite carvings on them, and then pasted with window paper, it is much dimmer when the sun comes in.In addition, in the afternoon, even in summer, the room is not very bright.

Ming Zhan's face looked dark and unpredictable.

Ming Zhan was in a daze, looking at the dust flying in the light, and forgot to ask Lu Wentao and Lu Wenmu to get up.The two had no choice but to kneel all the time, occasionally raising their heads quietly to observe the emperor's face, seeing the emperor's serious face, they had to lower their heads and continue kneeling, feeling quite regretful and apprehensive.

After a long time, Ming Zhan yawned silently, and Fang came back to his senses, "Is Lu Wenxuan wronged?"

Lu Wentao gritted his teeth and said, "Although my younger brother is absurd at times, he is not a person who does anything wrong. Please ask the emperor to investigate clearly."

"I am not the governor of the imperial capital, let alone the minister of Dali Temple. Since I was wronged, I will be sent to the third division for retrial. Naturally, what is clear will be cleared, and what is turbid will be turbid." Ming Zhan said.

Lu Wentao never expected that Ming Zhan would say such a thing, so he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, why do some trivial things shake the world. The innocence of Wenxuan is in the heart of the minister. The rogue pens of a few literati, let him go. The minister waits." You should also have the heart of a minister."

Ming Zhan nodded, "It's up to you. If you have a lawsuit, go to the third division. After the third division, if you have any objections, you can talk to me."

Ruan Wenmu thought it over, "Your Majesty, the lawsuit is a trivial matter. Not to mention the random scribbles in the newspaper, he also talked about the matter between the minister's family and the Nanfeng uncle's mansion, it is really..."

"It's Lu Wenxuan's fault. Whoever says that you are of the same family are all surnamed Lu." Ming Zhan said bluntly, "Don't think that I am dead when I am in the palace! A brother-in-law, a brother-in-law, look at Lu Wenxuan has done a good job! The embarrassment is self-inflicted! You still have the face to complain to me! The Mingyue Tower was built by a slave privately, and has nothing to do with the master, fart!"

"I know all about your tricks! It's really hard for you to still want face!" Ming Zhan said coldly, "If Lu Wenxuan is innocent, who will investigate! If it really happened, you can just refer to Zhao Xi's ending! I said it earlier that day, the relatives of the Yongninghou family will do this! One day, whoever of you commits such a thing will do the same!"

"If I see your face lightly let go today, and the Marquis of Yongning asks, how do you want me to answer?"

Lu Wentao and Lu Wenmu were scolded for a while, completely disgraced, and resigned tremblingly.

The two sons-in-law pleaded for mercy, and then the news of leaving the palace in disgrace spread quietly.

Many Qingliu ministers expressed their admiration and comfort for Ming Zhan's steadfast selflessness, even Shen Zhuo said, "Your Majesty is really a good Emperor."

Lin Yongshang was so worried, how could such a novice survive in the imperial capital.

Ming Zhan said complacently to Ruan Hongfei, "People outside praise me. They say that I am fair and just, and I am dedicated to serving the people without bias."

Ruan Hongfei poured a cup of tea, "In order to buy the hearts of the clan, I gave them a lot of benefits. They must have thought you were easy to bully. I gave you sugar first, and didn't give them a few sticks, lest they forget their roots." He raised his eyebrows and looked at Ming Zhan With a smirking fat face, Ruan Hongfei hummed an extremely sexy nasal voice, "Huh?"

"Those who know me are Feifei."
