History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]
Chapter 49
The third prince was put on a hat of looking down on the military officer, and he was anxious to defend, "No, I don't..."
For a moment, he felt confused, the third prince immediately knelt down towards the emperor, and explained anxiously, "Khan Ama, my son definitely didn't mean that." What else does he have in mind when he arrives at the court?
The emperor watched his sons bickering with a smile, and looked at the sons below vying to show filial piety with a loving father.
Mingzhu below inadvertently touched her mouth with her hand and covered the corners of her mouth. If Long Live Lord really wanted to hand over this matter to the third prince, he would have agreed to it long ago, and would not have called other sons. Sure enough, these princes They are habitually holding each other back as Long Live Lord expected.
Lord Long Live's balance skills have been perfected, and the crown prince has a whetstone for the eldest prince. Naturally, the third prince is not allowed to jump out and break the balance at this time.
"Don't take it to heart, get up quickly, your elder brother is just joking." The emperor asked someone to help the third prince up.
In the first month, it was obviously cold and windy, but sweat broke out on the third prince's forehead, and he knew that he had been frightened just now.
The emperor turned to the prince again and asked, "Yinfeng, what do you think?"
The crown prince came out, "Hui Khan Ama said, I feel that this matter should be discussed with all the ministers in the court. The revision of the book is a major matter related to the state affairs and should not be decided arbitrarily like this. And from ancient times to the present, it has been passed down. There are so many books that come down like stars, and which of these books should be studied first and which should be moved later, there should be a charter."
In fact, the emperor was very satisfied with the sensitive and studious, clever prince. The prince was trained by the emperor according to the requirements of the prince. Apart from being a little domineering occasionally, there was really nothing to say.
After all, he is a young man, so he should be a little bit energetic.
It's just that the prince was too close to Suoertu, which made the emperor a little dissatisfied. He felt that the prince had a tendency to be taught badly by Suotu, so the emperor decided to let Suotu withdraw from the court to reduce the influence on the prince.
This idea only turned around in his heart, the emperor didn't show any emotion on his face, but said to the prince, "Yinfeng is right."
As he said that, he looked at the other elder brothers, and finally stopped his eyes on the fourth son who had not lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, "Yinzhen, what do you think?"
When the fourth master heard the emperor's question, he took a step forward, "Returning to Han Ama's words, my son has not learned much, so I don't have any good opinions, but I feel that what the prince said makes sense. This is a national matter and I have to ask about it." The cabinet, it is best to call together educated people from all over the world to study together."
The emperor knew that the fourth son was unwilling to get involved in the fight between the boss and the prince.It's just that the prince is orthodox, so the fourth child speaks to the prince, but this does not mean standing in line.
That's right, the fourth child has always been pure and filial to the prince, and it's also because the prince was sealed by him, Khan Ama.
Unlike other sons, there are already signs of win over courtiers.
It's not that he doesn't know that his sons are about to move around. Seeing the younger brothers below grow up one after another, the prince is also in crisis.Two years ago when the third child had an accident, he knew who did it, but his son was grown up and his palms and backs were full of flesh, so he could only turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye like the folk father.
The emperor tapped the table with the fingers of his right hand one by one, thought for a while before saying, "Go back and write a detailed charter, and submit it in the morning court."
Min Ning was walking out with Concubine De Rong along with other female family members, and for some reason she sneezed suddenly.
She suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, and when she looked up, she saw that other people were looking at her, and Fujin obviously noticed that she was mixed in the crowd, and frowned.
In the garden, the emperor watched the fourth son answer, then turned to the eighth son who was eager to try, and asked him, "Yinhu, what do you think?"
Babeile walked out from the elder brother's team, and respectfully said to the emperor: "Khan Ama, the civil and military officials in the court have always kept the water in the well, and the elder brother is a general. If you let the elder brother preside over the book revision this time, it will help both civil and military officials." Relations between officials have eased."
The eldest prince on the side gave Babeile an appreciative look, he is still the old Babe, and it's no shame that his mother has raised him for so many years, and she still stands by his brother's side at critical times.
The emperor took a deep look at Lao Ba, and then asked Lao Jiu who was about to jump out, "What do you think?"
The ninth elder brother ran to Babeile's side and stood up, then glanced at his own brother, the fifth elder brother felt bad for a moment, and sure enough, he listened to his precious brother the next moment.
"Khan Ama, I think my fifth brother is indispensable for this matter. Although the fifth brother doesn't know Chinese very well, he is proficient in Mongolian. Some Mongolian books can be entrusted to him."
Wu Beile hurried out and knelt down, "Ama Khan, Xiao Jiu is just making a fuss, my son is ignorant, so he can't take on this big responsibility." Brother Keng's younger brother, if he didn't pay attention for a while, he was afraid that he, a bystander, would be dragged into the water.
The emperor felt a little guilty about the fifth elder brother who was raised by the queen mother not long after he was born. The fifth elder brother was raised by the queen mother. He was honest and kind-hearted. There was only one shortcoming. Elder Brother Suo didn't learn Chinese until he was nine years old, and it was too late to learn later, which resulted in little academic achievement these years.
If you don't understand Chinese, you are destined to miss this position.
The emperor just sighed for a moment, then let the five sons get up, and said kindly, "Since you don't have that idea, I won't force you."
As he said that, he looked at Jiu Zi with an unhappy expression, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he hurriedly asked him and Ba Zi to retreat together.
Finally, the emperor stood up and said to the people present, "Just follow what the prince said. We will discuss this matter after the Lantern Festival, and order the cabinet to draw up regulations first."
Regardless of whether it is Dacheng or the prince, after hearing the emperor's words, they all knelt down and said in unison:
"Your minister obeys the order." "The minister waits to obey the order."
After we parted, Fourth Master found that Min Ning had long since disappeared in the garden, and there were no other female relatives either.
Su Peisheng came over, and without waiting for fourth master to speak, he took the initiative to say: "All the female relatives were taken out by Defei."
"Do you know where you went?"
Su Peisheng replied: "If you go back to the master, you will be taken to the north to watch the lanterns..."
Min Ning was caught in the crowd and followed Concubine De to watch the lanterns. After arriving in the North Garden, Concubine De and Concubine Rong led a group of people to separate.
She was also successfully seen by Concubine De, and was called to Concubine De's side under Fujin's cold eyes, making her even want to take the opportunity to leave.
Appreciating the lanterns with a group of women of all ages, and successfully discovered the rendezvous with the empress dowager.The empress dowager was accompanied by a woman in her early twenties, her brilliance was very different from the humble concubine beside her.
Just like Haidongqing on the grassland, it is definitely not comparable to the group of canaries in the palace.
The Empress Dowager was pointing to the revolving lantern that made noise and said to her, "This lamp is not bad, it's only slightly worse than my music box."
The music box was given by the emperor when the empress dowager passed her birthday last year, because the horses and grasslands on it reminded her of her time in Horqin, and there was also a piece of music from her hometown, which could ease the empress dowager's homesickness.
The empress dowager cherished the music box very much, and often wiped it herself with a cloth.This time, looking at the revolving lantern that can make music, I can't help but feel kind.
Concubine Yi smiled and said, "Long Live Lord's gifts are of course high-quality products, not comparable to those displayed outside."
The Empress Dowager smiled, and stretched out her finger to say, "Okay, I know you're sweet." The other concubines followed suit with apologetic smiles.
Among the concubines, only Concubine Yi dared to say that to the Empress Dowager, because the Fifth Elder Brother was brought up by the Empress Dowager, and the two were naturally close because of the Fifth Elder Brother's relationship.
Min Ning hid behind the crowd, watching the conversation of several of the most noble women in the Qing Dynasty, and began to think about the newspaper office.
The newspaper office has almost been diverted. Since the newspaper office was mixed with officials, she knew that sooner or later she would let it go, but it didn't prevent her from spending her own corner.Although it is still hers in name, it is actually controlled by the imperial court. She has already regarded this newspaper as the court's weather vane, so the next step is to seize the private news market share.
I don't know to what extent the people below are poached. Today's Beijing Morning Post has become a place dedicated to cultivating talents for others. Some journalists and editors who have just learned some skills have been poached away, let alone those old people. .
What Minning likes is not those people who are half-bottled, but those old people who have experience and real talents. If they dig one, they will make money, and they can train more.
Instead of giving these people to other newspapers cheaply, it is better to receive them yourself.
Thinking like this, someone came to pull her, she turned her head and found that it was Bi Ying, Bi Ying whispered: "Ge Ge, Lord Baylor is waiting for you."
Minning already had a shadow of the word Baylor, but fortunately she realized that it was Biying who called her, which meant that it was Fourth Master who came to look for her.
Quietly followed Biying to the side path.
The fourth master was already waiting in the shadows, Minning saw him and asked, "Master, who will leave that matter to in the end?"
"No one has handed it in. According to the prince's suggestion, we will discuss it after the formal court."
Minning pursed his lips, waiting for the court to discuss, it would definitely not fall on the third prince's head, and even if it did fall, there would definitely be other princes to share, that is to say, the third prince would not be tricked.
The fourth master told her in a deep voice, "No matter what you say this time, it's a good thing. Since the third child didn't confess you, don't say anything about it, or you will let Khan Ama find out later, and it will be no good for you. "
Minning snorted, she naturally understood this truth.
Compared with the son's concubine, the fool knows who is more important.
"Thank you for your reminder, sir."
The fourth master hummed, and led her to go deep inside, and said as he walked: "Your affairs have been put up in front of Han Ama, and I can't care about them. The merits you have made are enough to save your life. But these are not reasons for you to be unscrupulous, it is best to keep a low profile in the future, and don't be dug out by the third brother like this time."
Minning was a little aggrieved, she was careful enough, she didn't expect to be found out by those princes, "After I go back, I will disperse the property and won't put it under my name anymore. Lord, I want to sell the newspaper to the imperial court , do you think the imperial court will buy it?"
The fourth master said: "Go back and ask for you. The cabinet has already hinted to you several times that you want to hold the newspaper in your hand, but you have politely avoided it. Since you also have this idea, then I will Go and ask for you."
Minning nodded, but thought in his heart, it seems that the speed of poaching must be accelerated.
Zhang Shaoyang was very fast, not only got the type printing machine, but even the venue.
After a group of people went to see it, they all thought it was good. Although it looked a little rough, the location was good, near Xuanwumen and not far from Liulichang.
Soon Zhang Shaoyang left with a group of like-minded people, and the newspaper officially opened. Among those who left was Zhang Tinglu.
Zhang Tinglu was quite surprised when he left smoothly. Of course, he would never have thought that the reason why the morning newspaper did not pursue it was because he was the same person as his current newspaper boss.
Although it is nominally under the name of Zhang Shaoyang, it is actually still under the control of others.
If the newspaper office is transferred to the government, it will not be so easy to leave.
Zhang Tinglu's entry into the newspaper was also an accident. His fourth brother was not in good health, because he had contracted an illness after the provincial examination, and had not stopped taking medicine for the past two years.
He was not allowed to read some thought-consuming books at home on weekdays. Since the newspaper appeared, the fourth brother has obviously become more cheerful. He has read more descriptions of the outside world and some simple exercise methods in the newspaper, and is willing to go out for a walk.
Zhang Tinglu paid more attention to the newspaper. One day, after seeing the recruitment notice in the newspaper, he was so excited that he signed up without thinking too much. Unexpectedly, he was admitted.
Although her father didn't approve, she didn't object either. Zhang Tinglu didn't make any progress this time, and she was a little confused, so she went into the newspaper office in a daze.
But after he came in, he found that this place was more exciting than what he had experienced in the past 20 years. He went out every day to find news, saw all kinds of people, and heard all kinds of incredible stories, which made him suddenly feel that he was only squatting in the past. How boring are the days of studying at home.
Of course, he is not the only one who has the same idea, but many other people. These originally noble literati gradually lost a bit of pedantry and became smoother in order to run the news and deal with ordinary people who you can’t talk about at night.
Perhaps it can be said that after being polished by the newspaper office, the whole person has undergone earth-shaking changes from the heart to the appearance.
The newly opened newspaper is called "Jingcheng Daily", which is separated from the name "Beijing Morning Post". The "Beijing Daily" is also published every morning, but it only reports news within the capital. Although it overlaps with the "Beijing Morning Post", the emphasis of the two is different.
The "Beijing Morning Post" reports are biased towards current affairs and people's livelihood, and even the advertisement review is biased. At the beginning, it accepted all kinds of advertisements, but later all the entertainment-related ones were cut off.
The "Jingcheng Daily" is different, more inclined to entertainment, so those toy advertisements, rouge and gouache advertisements are willing to accept.
On this day, the newsboys who sold newspapers no longer only peddled the "Beijing Morning Post", but also added a "Jingcheng Daily".
I found that it first introduced the content of the future side reports of the "Beijing Daily", and some advertisements have an extra line, no longer like the "Beijing Morning Post" to introduce the product rudely!
Soon these catchy advertising lines were compiled into nursery rhymes by children and appeared in the streets and alleys.
Adults, on the other hand, pay attention to the news that takes up an entire page.
"...On the day of the Lantern Festival, a child was abducted in the Yaowang Temple in Nancheng. Fortunately, the reporter of this newspaper was there at the time and witnessed the incident with his own eyes." A storyteller from a teahouse in Nancheng read the newspaper.
The people in the teahouse put down their cups and listened seriously.
Some people happened to be there at the time, with secret and excited expressions on their faces, and whispered to the side, "I know about this, I was there at the time, I didn't expect that there were reporters there at that time."
The storyteller lost the child and the martyr appeared, and how to follow the clues to find the underground secret passage of the Yaowang Temple.Tell the whole thing ups and downs, like telling a story.
When some people heard it, they took it as a storytelling moment and yelled, "Okay!"
The people next to him looked at him, and the man reacted and covered his mouth spontaneously.
The storyteller was also unsatisfied, and continued to read, "After investigation by our reporter, one of the abducted children was dressed in rich clothes and no one claimed it. In the spirit of investigating the truth, this reporter continued to investigate and found out that the child's His true identity is the direct second son of a nobleman of a certain state in the inner city. As for how this young master was abducted from the inner city to the outer city, this reporter interviewed several servants of the Rongguo Mansion."
Then the following is the content of the interview of the servant, which explains in detail the situation of the two houses in the Duke's mansion, and the written story of the dispute between the big house and the second house is even more exciting.
"...Why was the son-in-law kidnapped from the mansion just after the mistress of the big house left? What is the inside story of this? Is it the murder of a vicious servant, or is there another reason? If you want to know the details, please look for it The next issue of "Beijing Daily."
The storyteller stopped after reading the newspaper, and many people started talking about the newspaper just now. The common people were interested in the secret events in the big family's backyard, and felt excited to explore the secrets of the nobles.
Many people are eager to read the following, and make up their minds to buy, buy, buy tomorrow.
"Guess which country's mansion it is?"
"It doesn't necessarily have to be the Duke's Mansion, maybe the newspaper is a cover-up, and it might be a prince's mansion."
"I guess it might be the Rongguo Mansion. Isn't the eldest daughter-in-law of his family just finished the funeral?"
"Hey, how do you know so clearly?"
"Hey, didn't you pass by my door during the funeral? I felt extremely unlucky at the time, and I remembered it soon."
Soon, the news that the lost child came from the Rongguo Mansion spread rapidly, and spread from the outer city to the inner city in a blink of an eye.
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
In Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Jia threw a few cups on the table to the ground angrily, and asked the eldest son below, "Didn't you tell the people in the newspaper office to shut up and not report this matter? Why did you spread the news in a blink of an eye?" The entire capital is ups and downs, our old relatives came to ask if this matter is true, I am completely ashamed!"
Jia He, the elder of the Jia family, said with a nonchalant expression: "Ma'am, I already took the post to say it, but it was reported by another newspaper, not the Beijing Morning Post I went to before."
Mrs. Jia was angry that her son was useless, "I asked you to do something, and you made a mistake, are you still reasonable?"
Jia He continued to defend, "This restaurant was only opened, how would I know that they would report this matter, not to mention that they didn't name it and say it's our home."
Old Mrs. Jia shook her hands angrily, pointed at him and said, "Are you still explaining to others? They have come to your door with bullying, and they are so detailed, who knows our family can't see it?"
Jia He was not afraid of the boiling water, so he flicked his sleeves and said, "Anyway, I think what the newspaper said is quite right. Our family is now a brother or not, and a brother or a brother. If the wife wants the second brother to inherit the title, just say so, Why do these little tricks? It's not annoying."
Mrs. Jia hammered her chest, pretending that she didn't want to, but her eldest son's title was conferred by the imperial court, and she can't change it if she wants.
Why didn't Zheng'er, who only hated her, be thrown into her stomach first, but instead let such a useless thing occupy the place.
Jia He was used to his mother being biased, and when he saw that she was clutching her chest again, he became impatient and strode away.
Mrs. Jia was so angry that she fell on her back again, and then asked the maid beside her, "Is Zheng'er back? If he comes back, call him over." Compared to this ineffective elder son, he was already a fifth-rank official at a young age. Her youngest son pleases her even more, and the future of the Rongguo Mansion depends on Zheng'er.
Jia Zheng was quickly invited over. Hearing Mrs. Jia's account of the incident, he said with a face of humiliation: "This is slander. Why would my son abduct Lian'er for the sake of his title?" But he didn't veto his coveted title of Dafang.
Mrs. Jia was angry for a while, but now she is not so angry anymore.In turn, he comforted his youngest son, "Zheng'er, other people's families don't know about our family, so they will make wild guesses. You are a man, and a mother can't understand."
"Madam..." Jia Zheng was deeply moved, and then he said in disgust: "It's all the fault of that newspaper, that such false news broke out, it's simply an ulterior motive, trying to harm me and my elder brother Ni Qiang." !"
Mrs. Jia was also filled with righteous indignation: "We must not spare them easily, use your elder brother's post to tell the people of Shuntian Mansion to arrest these people and put them in prison. Complain to the Empress Dowager."
Jia Zheng quickly stopped him and said, "No, ma'am, I'll go right away, it's okay if I go right away."
At this time, a girl in her early ten years came out of the inner room. The girl was raised dignifiedly and beautifully. She was resting in the room just now, rubbing her eyes and came out. She saw Jia Zheng and Mrs. Jia calling out affectionately, "Father, old ancestor .”
Mrs. Jia dreamed of the eldest granddaughter she brought up with her own hands, she smiled instantly, and beckoned her to come over, and while feeding her honey water, she said to her youngest son, "Okay, you have to deal with this matter quickly. "
Jia Zheng was grateful that his eldest daughter came out in time, otherwise the old lady didn't know how to make trouble with him.
"Hey, my son will go right away."
The number of newspaper circulation exceeded the standard, which made the whole newspaper very happy.
Zhang Shaoyang clapped his palms to attract the attention of others, and said happily, "This time we have made a good turnaround, but it must have attracted the attention of our colleagues. It's so easy, not only do we have to face obstacles from our peers, presumably the Rongguo Mansion will not let us go, after all we made the Rongguo Mansion make a big joke this time."
Feng Xiang stood up and said, "We're not afraid of this, we're telling the truth, can Rongguo Mansion block our newspaper?"
Zhang Tinglu also stood up, "If they leave the officialdom, I will go to my father and say that he is just giving them face by calling the Rongguo Mansion. If we really make us anxious, I won't even leave them with the foundation."
"Don't stay! Don't stay!" A large group of men shouted at the throat.
Zhang Shaoyang said again: "Since everyone has made up their minds, I will not stop you. Now that we have a good start, the sales of our newspaper will definitely increase in the future, so... Recruit! Recruit immediately!"
A group of people howled excitedly again. For them, having a new person means having a new person who can be exploited and oppressed. Those people are gearing up to train the new guy.
Jia Zheng endured his elder brother's cynicism before he brought the post, and when he arrived at Shuntian Mansion, he told the story directly.
The governor of Shuntian Prefecture rejected it without any regard for affection.
Jia Zheng's face was ugly, but Fu Yin didn't care at all. He and Zhang Ying were officials in the same dynasty. Two days ago, Zhang Ying asked him to take care of his third son. Fu Yin made people pay attention.
This time, Jia Zheng, a fifth-rank official, took a post from a falsely-ranked general to instruct a third-rank official to arrest Zhongtang's son.
Fu Yin didn't bother to argue with him, and directly said that it was impossible to help him catch the son of a first-rank official, Jia Zheng left with a pale face and panic.
My family knows about my family, the Rongguo Mansion is only superficially honorable, sticking to the plaque of the mansion, the only person I can rely on is my son-in-law who is far away in Yangzhou, and now even a palace eunuch can come to fight the autumn breeze.
How dare he offend a first-rank official.
After returning home, he didn't dare to tell the old lady about this matter, and ordered the concierge to keep a close eye on it, and no one was allowed to bring the Beijing Daily newspaper into the house in the future.
Soon the next day, the Beijing Daily published the recruitment news, and Feng Xiang came out on top and started applying for the job.
"Excuse me, is this the capital city or the newspaper office?"
Feng Xiang, who was sorting out the manuscript on the desktop, raised his head, and soon he was frightened.
"Yes, what's the matter with the girl coming to our newspaper? If there are news clues, go out and turn right to the news room."
Feng Xiang didn't expect that the first person who came to the door was a woman. This woman had a big braid. Although she was wearing men's clothing and a hat, she could still see her true gender at a glance.
The woman walked in and came to the desk, "I don't have news leads, I'm here to apply for a job, aren't you recruiting here?"
"Application?" Feng Xiang was taken aback, and quickly waved his hands, "Gu, miss, we don't recruit women here."
The woman ignored him, but looked him up and down, and said calmly: "But your newspaper didn't say that you won't recruit women!"
"But, but..." Feng Xiang hesitated and couldn't speak. No one expected that a woman would apply for the job.
"If you can't make the decision, then find someone who can make the decision!" Anyway, she has entered the newspaper office.
When Feng Xiang heard this, he ran to the editorial room and told the story. Except for a few editors who avoided suspicion and didn't come, Zhang Shaoyang and Zhang Tinglu followed Feng Xiang.
Zhang Tinglu was taken aback when he saw the woman, unlike the other two, he couldn't see the fabric on the woman's body, it was a tribute that ordinary people couldn't touch.
"Girl, please don't embarrass us, we are all old men here, it's really not suitable for a girl to stay for a long time." Zhang Tinglu took a step forward, cupped her hands and said with a wry smile.
The woman glanced at Zhang Tinglu, and said in a slightly impatient tone, "Since you know, then just separate the courtyard and open another door. What's more, our Manchu aunts are not as coy as Han women, who want to put guns on the horses in the previous years." It’s not like it hasn’t been done.”
Come on, it seems that this aunt's identity is not simple!
Zhang Tinglu could tell that this person was definitely not an ordinary person, otherwise he wouldn't have the confidence to order them. He knew at a glance that he was usually in a high position and was used to commanding people.
Zhang Tinglu backed away, and Feng Xiang continued on the stage, "Girl, we go out to run news every day, and we deal with ordinary people. This is really not suitable for you."
The woman raised her head, "Didn't you say that there is that kind of work that deals with writing? Don't worry, our family does not have the idea that Han women are virtuous if they are not talented. I have also been reading and writing since I was a child, although I can't write a few good poems. , but I have read the Four Books and Five Classics." Speaking of this, he said impatiently, "I just annoy you men, and I make a newspaper for you stinky men. Why don't you have some content for women?"
"I know how to evaluate poetry and songs. I have learned makeup, hairstyles, and clothing matching since I was a child. I have learned everything that girls should learn. I can also do some boxing skills. Ordinary people can't get close to me. Why don't you publish some special teaching in the newspaper What about the daughter of the world?"
Zhang Shaoyang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly lit up his eyes, looking at this woman was like looking at a gleaming gold mine.
Zhang Tinglu at the side immediately saw what he was thinking, pulled him aside and warned in a low voice, "This woman is of extraordinary status, if she is recruited and her family objects, our small newspaper will suffer."
Although Zhang Tinglu's voice was very small, the woman's eyes and ears were clever enough to catch his voice.
"Don't worry, my family can't control me!" the woman said confidently.
Zhang Shaoyang's eyes flickered non-stop, thinking whether it was worth taking the risk.
Zhang Tinglu shook her head and said to the woman, "Girl, our temple is small and we can't afford to offend big people. It can be seen that the girl is of extraordinary status. If your family really blames her, our newspaper may not be able to continue."
The woman patted her chest and assured him: "Don't worry, you can rest assured. With me here, no one dares to make trouble. I can still cover your small newspaper!"
Zhang Tinglu smiled wryly, and wanted to continue persuading her.
The woman became impatient and waved her hand, "I'll tell you directly, my grandma is Princess Gulun Yongmu. I grew up next to the empress dowager. With me sitting here, no one in the capital will have the courage to come here." Trouble with you."
Young people may not know much about Princess Gulun Yongmu, but they still have heard about Zhang Tinglu who was born in an official family.
This is the eldest daughter of the late Empress Dowager.
Relying on the emperor's filial piety to the Empress Dowager, he also treated this aunt differently. When the Empress Dowager was still alive, he often called Princess Gulun Yongmu back to Beijing to accompany the Empress Dowager.
It's just that this one died too early, ten years earlier than the empress dowager. Later, Horqin sent the eldest princess's newborn granddaughter to Beijing.
When this little Gege came to the capital, the Empress Dowager was already in poor health, and she died within a few years, so little Gege was given to the Queen Mother to raise.
He was raised until he was about ten years old, and was sent back to Horqin to reunite with his relatives.
A few days ago, Zhang Tinglu heard that a Mongolian princess had entered the capital. It is said that the princess was a widow not long after she got married. several years.
It seems that this is the princess in front of me.
If it were this person, ordinary people would really dare not provoke her, after all, there is a queen dowager behind her as a big backer.
Wu Rentuya had just met the empress dowager, and she heard new things in the capital from the empress dowager, one of which was the newspaper.
After leaving the palace, she asked people to buy newspapers. It was quite novel at first glance, but she was a little dissatisfied, why didn't they do it for women.
In Mongolia, the status of a woman is not lower than that of a man. For example, she inherited the status and property of her short-lived forehead and managed a small tribe.When there was a war with other tribes, they also raised guns and mounted horses to fight.
So when I saw that there were articles in Chinese, Manchu and even Mongolian, but there were no articles specially written for women, I was a little dissatisfied, and immediately decided to find this recruiting newspaper.Since there wasn't one before, she's here to set a precedent.
As soon as Zhang Shaoyang heard the identity of the person in front of him, his eyes lit up, and before the other two people could speak, he immediately made a decision, "Then I will make the decision to hire... May I ask what your name is?"
"Just call me Chang Hui." Chang Hui is her princess title.
"Miss Changhui, I'll invite manuscripts in the newspaper later, and I'll hand over these manuscripts to you."
There was a wailing sound from the gate, Zhang Tinglu walked over and opened the door, a large group of people fell in.
"What are you doing?"
Of course it was eavesdropping, a woman finally came and talked to the three of them for so long, of course they wanted to come and hear what they were supposed to say?
Someone got up from the ground and raised their hands in protest, "Our newspaper will publish some content about women's clothing matching, isn't it incompatible with our other articles?"
Zhang Shaoyang touched his chin, and said in a deep voice, "That's right!"
There was joy in the eyes of the people on the side, and they wanted to continue to let Zhang Shaoyang dismiss this ridiculous idea.Isn't it because you can't report freely?After finally having their own newspaper, they are naturally unwilling to add some random things.Daily News is their daughter who grew up with careful care. Now that someone wants to intervene by force, they will naturally swear to the death to protect their daughter's reputation.
Zhang Shaoyang quickly thought of a solution, and clapped his hands together, "Then open another newspaper, and I'll apply for a new issue later."
Seeing the innocence of his own newspaper, the others didn't care, and quickly agreed to this matter.
"Since everyone has no objections, let's give our new newspaper a name." Zhang Shaoyang continued.
Men are not interested in a paper for women, nor do they think it will be successful.
Zhang Shaoyang saw that other people didn't take it seriously, and looked at Chang Hui again. Chang Hui lived up to his expectations and said, "Don't you men always say that there is Yan Ruyu in the book? I think it's better to call Yan Bao!"
Zhang Shaoyang thought the name was good, so he asked other people.
Others, less interested, agreed with the name.
At this time, these arrogant men who despise women never imagined that "Yan Bao" would catch up from behind, and its sales volume was far higher than that of "Jingcheng Daily".
Countless girls and young women competed to imitate the makeup and clothing matching in "Yan Bao", and the terrifying sales made the "Daily" people's glasses shattered.
For a moment, he felt confused, the third prince immediately knelt down towards the emperor, and explained anxiously, "Khan Ama, my son definitely didn't mean that." What else does he have in mind when he arrives at the court?
The emperor watched his sons bickering with a smile, and looked at the sons below vying to show filial piety with a loving father.
Mingzhu below inadvertently touched her mouth with her hand and covered the corners of her mouth. If Long Live Lord really wanted to hand over this matter to the third prince, he would have agreed to it long ago, and would not have called other sons. Sure enough, these princes They are habitually holding each other back as Long Live Lord expected.
Lord Long Live's balance skills have been perfected, and the crown prince has a whetstone for the eldest prince. Naturally, the third prince is not allowed to jump out and break the balance at this time.
"Don't take it to heart, get up quickly, your elder brother is just joking." The emperor asked someone to help the third prince up.
In the first month, it was obviously cold and windy, but sweat broke out on the third prince's forehead, and he knew that he had been frightened just now.
The emperor turned to the prince again and asked, "Yinfeng, what do you think?"
The crown prince came out, "Hui Khan Ama said, I feel that this matter should be discussed with all the ministers in the court. The revision of the book is a major matter related to the state affairs and should not be decided arbitrarily like this. And from ancient times to the present, it has been passed down. There are so many books that come down like stars, and which of these books should be studied first and which should be moved later, there should be a charter."
In fact, the emperor was very satisfied with the sensitive and studious, clever prince. The prince was trained by the emperor according to the requirements of the prince. Apart from being a little domineering occasionally, there was really nothing to say.
After all, he is a young man, so he should be a little bit energetic.
It's just that the prince was too close to Suoertu, which made the emperor a little dissatisfied. He felt that the prince had a tendency to be taught badly by Suotu, so the emperor decided to let Suotu withdraw from the court to reduce the influence on the prince.
This idea only turned around in his heart, the emperor didn't show any emotion on his face, but said to the prince, "Yinfeng is right."
As he said that, he looked at the other elder brothers, and finally stopped his eyes on the fourth son who had not lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, "Yinzhen, what do you think?"
When the fourth master heard the emperor's question, he took a step forward, "Returning to Han Ama's words, my son has not learned much, so I don't have any good opinions, but I feel that what the prince said makes sense. This is a national matter and I have to ask about it." The cabinet, it is best to call together educated people from all over the world to study together."
The emperor knew that the fourth son was unwilling to get involved in the fight between the boss and the prince.It's just that the prince is orthodox, so the fourth child speaks to the prince, but this does not mean standing in line.
That's right, the fourth child has always been pure and filial to the prince, and it's also because the prince was sealed by him, Khan Ama.
Unlike other sons, there are already signs of win over courtiers.
It's not that he doesn't know that his sons are about to move around. Seeing the younger brothers below grow up one after another, the prince is also in crisis.Two years ago when the third child had an accident, he knew who did it, but his son was grown up and his palms and backs were full of flesh, so he could only turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye like the folk father.
The emperor tapped the table with the fingers of his right hand one by one, thought for a while before saying, "Go back and write a detailed charter, and submit it in the morning court."
Min Ning was walking out with Concubine De Rong along with other female family members, and for some reason she sneezed suddenly.
She suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, and when she looked up, she saw that other people were looking at her, and Fujin obviously noticed that she was mixed in the crowd, and frowned.
In the garden, the emperor watched the fourth son answer, then turned to the eighth son who was eager to try, and asked him, "Yinhu, what do you think?"
Babeile walked out from the elder brother's team, and respectfully said to the emperor: "Khan Ama, the civil and military officials in the court have always kept the water in the well, and the elder brother is a general. If you let the elder brother preside over the book revision this time, it will help both civil and military officials." Relations between officials have eased."
The eldest prince on the side gave Babeile an appreciative look, he is still the old Babe, and it's no shame that his mother has raised him for so many years, and she still stands by his brother's side at critical times.
The emperor took a deep look at Lao Ba, and then asked Lao Jiu who was about to jump out, "What do you think?"
The ninth elder brother ran to Babeile's side and stood up, then glanced at his own brother, the fifth elder brother felt bad for a moment, and sure enough, he listened to his precious brother the next moment.
"Khan Ama, I think my fifth brother is indispensable for this matter. Although the fifth brother doesn't know Chinese very well, he is proficient in Mongolian. Some Mongolian books can be entrusted to him."
Wu Beile hurried out and knelt down, "Ama Khan, Xiao Jiu is just making a fuss, my son is ignorant, so he can't take on this big responsibility." Brother Keng's younger brother, if he didn't pay attention for a while, he was afraid that he, a bystander, would be dragged into the water.
The emperor felt a little guilty about the fifth elder brother who was raised by the queen mother not long after he was born. The fifth elder brother was raised by the queen mother. He was honest and kind-hearted. There was only one shortcoming. Elder Brother Suo didn't learn Chinese until he was nine years old, and it was too late to learn later, which resulted in little academic achievement these years.
If you don't understand Chinese, you are destined to miss this position.
The emperor just sighed for a moment, then let the five sons get up, and said kindly, "Since you don't have that idea, I won't force you."
As he said that, he looked at Jiu Zi with an unhappy expression, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he hurriedly asked him and Ba Zi to retreat together.
Finally, the emperor stood up and said to the people present, "Just follow what the prince said. We will discuss this matter after the Lantern Festival, and order the cabinet to draw up regulations first."
Regardless of whether it is Dacheng or the prince, after hearing the emperor's words, they all knelt down and said in unison:
"Your minister obeys the order." "The minister waits to obey the order."
After we parted, Fourth Master found that Min Ning had long since disappeared in the garden, and there were no other female relatives either.
Su Peisheng came over, and without waiting for fourth master to speak, he took the initiative to say: "All the female relatives were taken out by Defei."
"Do you know where you went?"
Su Peisheng replied: "If you go back to the master, you will be taken to the north to watch the lanterns..."
Min Ning was caught in the crowd and followed Concubine De to watch the lanterns. After arriving in the North Garden, Concubine De and Concubine Rong led a group of people to separate.
She was also successfully seen by Concubine De, and was called to Concubine De's side under Fujin's cold eyes, making her even want to take the opportunity to leave.
Appreciating the lanterns with a group of women of all ages, and successfully discovered the rendezvous with the empress dowager.The empress dowager was accompanied by a woman in her early twenties, her brilliance was very different from the humble concubine beside her.
Just like Haidongqing on the grassland, it is definitely not comparable to the group of canaries in the palace.
The Empress Dowager was pointing to the revolving lantern that made noise and said to her, "This lamp is not bad, it's only slightly worse than my music box."
The music box was given by the emperor when the empress dowager passed her birthday last year, because the horses and grasslands on it reminded her of her time in Horqin, and there was also a piece of music from her hometown, which could ease the empress dowager's homesickness.
The empress dowager cherished the music box very much, and often wiped it herself with a cloth.This time, looking at the revolving lantern that can make music, I can't help but feel kind.
Concubine Yi smiled and said, "Long Live Lord's gifts are of course high-quality products, not comparable to those displayed outside."
The Empress Dowager smiled, and stretched out her finger to say, "Okay, I know you're sweet." The other concubines followed suit with apologetic smiles.
Among the concubines, only Concubine Yi dared to say that to the Empress Dowager, because the Fifth Elder Brother was brought up by the Empress Dowager, and the two were naturally close because of the Fifth Elder Brother's relationship.
Min Ning hid behind the crowd, watching the conversation of several of the most noble women in the Qing Dynasty, and began to think about the newspaper office.
The newspaper office has almost been diverted. Since the newspaper office was mixed with officials, she knew that sooner or later she would let it go, but it didn't prevent her from spending her own corner.Although it is still hers in name, it is actually controlled by the imperial court. She has already regarded this newspaper as the court's weather vane, so the next step is to seize the private news market share.
I don't know to what extent the people below are poached. Today's Beijing Morning Post has become a place dedicated to cultivating talents for others. Some journalists and editors who have just learned some skills have been poached away, let alone those old people. .
What Minning likes is not those people who are half-bottled, but those old people who have experience and real talents. If they dig one, they will make money, and they can train more.
Instead of giving these people to other newspapers cheaply, it is better to receive them yourself.
Thinking like this, someone came to pull her, she turned her head and found that it was Bi Ying, Bi Ying whispered: "Ge Ge, Lord Baylor is waiting for you."
Minning already had a shadow of the word Baylor, but fortunately she realized that it was Biying who called her, which meant that it was Fourth Master who came to look for her.
Quietly followed Biying to the side path.
The fourth master was already waiting in the shadows, Minning saw him and asked, "Master, who will leave that matter to in the end?"
"No one has handed it in. According to the prince's suggestion, we will discuss it after the formal court."
Minning pursed his lips, waiting for the court to discuss, it would definitely not fall on the third prince's head, and even if it did fall, there would definitely be other princes to share, that is to say, the third prince would not be tricked.
The fourth master told her in a deep voice, "No matter what you say this time, it's a good thing. Since the third child didn't confess you, don't say anything about it, or you will let Khan Ama find out later, and it will be no good for you. "
Minning snorted, she naturally understood this truth.
Compared with the son's concubine, the fool knows who is more important.
"Thank you for your reminder, sir."
The fourth master hummed, and led her to go deep inside, and said as he walked: "Your affairs have been put up in front of Han Ama, and I can't care about them. The merits you have made are enough to save your life. But these are not reasons for you to be unscrupulous, it is best to keep a low profile in the future, and don't be dug out by the third brother like this time."
Minning was a little aggrieved, she was careful enough, she didn't expect to be found out by those princes, "After I go back, I will disperse the property and won't put it under my name anymore. Lord, I want to sell the newspaper to the imperial court , do you think the imperial court will buy it?"
The fourth master said: "Go back and ask for you. The cabinet has already hinted to you several times that you want to hold the newspaper in your hand, but you have politely avoided it. Since you also have this idea, then I will Go and ask for you."
Minning nodded, but thought in his heart, it seems that the speed of poaching must be accelerated.
Zhang Shaoyang was very fast, not only got the type printing machine, but even the venue.
After a group of people went to see it, they all thought it was good. Although it looked a little rough, the location was good, near Xuanwumen and not far from Liulichang.
Soon Zhang Shaoyang left with a group of like-minded people, and the newspaper officially opened. Among those who left was Zhang Tinglu.
Zhang Tinglu was quite surprised when he left smoothly. Of course, he would never have thought that the reason why the morning newspaper did not pursue it was because he was the same person as his current newspaper boss.
Although it is nominally under the name of Zhang Shaoyang, it is actually still under the control of others.
If the newspaper office is transferred to the government, it will not be so easy to leave.
Zhang Tinglu's entry into the newspaper was also an accident. His fourth brother was not in good health, because he had contracted an illness after the provincial examination, and had not stopped taking medicine for the past two years.
He was not allowed to read some thought-consuming books at home on weekdays. Since the newspaper appeared, the fourth brother has obviously become more cheerful. He has read more descriptions of the outside world and some simple exercise methods in the newspaper, and is willing to go out for a walk.
Zhang Tinglu paid more attention to the newspaper. One day, after seeing the recruitment notice in the newspaper, he was so excited that he signed up without thinking too much. Unexpectedly, he was admitted.
Although her father didn't approve, she didn't object either. Zhang Tinglu didn't make any progress this time, and she was a little confused, so she went into the newspaper office in a daze.
But after he came in, he found that this place was more exciting than what he had experienced in the past 20 years. He went out every day to find news, saw all kinds of people, and heard all kinds of incredible stories, which made him suddenly feel that he was only squatting in the past. How boring are the days of studying at home.
Of course, he is not the only one who has the same idea, but many other people. These originally noble literati gradually lost a bit of pedantry and became smoother in order to run the news and deal with ordinary people who you can’t talk about at night.
Perhaps it can be said that after being polished by the newspaper office, the whole person has undergone earth-shaking changes from the heart to the appearance.
The newly opened newspaper is called "Jingcheng Daily", which is separated from the name "Beijing Morning Post". The "Beijing Daily" is also published every morning, but it only reports news within the capital. Although it overlaps with the "Beijing Morning Post", the emphasis of the two is different.
The "Beijing Morning Post" reports are biased towards current affairs and people's livelihood, and even the advertisement review is biased. At the beginning, it accepted all kinds of advertisements, but later all the entertainment-related ones were cut off.
The "Jingcheng Daily" is different, more inclined to entertainment, so those toy advertisements, rouge and gouache advertisements are willing to accept.
On this day, the newsboys who sold newspapers no longer only peddled the "Beijing Morning Post", but also added a "Jingcheng Daily".
I found that it first introduced the content of the future side reports of the "Beijing Daily", and some advertisements have an extra line, no longer like the "Beijing Morning Post" to introduce the product rudely!
Soon these catchy advertising lines were compiled into nursery rhymes by children and appeared in the streets and alleys.
Adults, on the other hand, pay attention to the news that takes up an entire page.
"...On the day of the Lantern Festival, a child was abducted in the Yaowang Temple in Nancheng. Fortunately, the reporter of this newspaper was there at the time and witnessed the incident with his own eyes." A storyteller from a teahouse in Nancheng read the newspaper.
The people in the teahouse put down their cups and listened seriously.
Some people happened to be there at the time, with secret and excited expressions on their faces, and whispered to the side, "I know about this, I was there at the time, I didn't expect that there were reporters there at that time."
The storyteller lost the child and the martyr appeared, and how to follow the clues to find the underground secret passage of the Yaowang Temple.Tell the whole thing ups and downs, like telling a story.
When some people heard it, they took it as a storytelling moment and yelled, "Okay!"
The people next to him looked at him, and the man reacted and covered his mouth spontaneously.
The storyteller was also unsatisfied, and continued to read, "After investigation by our reporter, one of the abducted children was dressed in rich clothes and no one claimed it. In the spirit of investigating the truth, this reporter continued to investigate and found out that the child's His true identity is the direct second son of a nobleman of a certain state in the inner city. As for how this young master was abducted from the inner city to the outer city, this reporter interviewed several servants of the Rongguo Mansion."
Then the following is the content of the interview of the servant, which explains in detail the situation of the two houses in the Duke's mansion, and the written story of the dispute between the big house and the second house is even more exciting.
"...Why was the son-in-law kidnapped from the mansion just after the mistress of the big house left? What is the inside story of this? Is it the murder of a vicious servant, or is there another reason? If you want to know the details, please look for it The next issue of "Beijing Daily."
The storyteller stopped after reading the newspaper, and many people started talking about the newspaper just now. The common people were interested in the secret events in the big family's backyard, and felt excited to explore the secrets of the nobles.
Many people are eager to read the following, and make up their minds to buy, buy, buy tomorrow.
"Guess which country's mansion it is?"
"It doesn't necessarily have to be the Duke's Mansion, maybe the newspaper is a cover-up, and it might be a prince's mansion."
"I guess it might be the Rongguo Mansion. Isn't the eldest daughter-in-law of his family just finished the funeral?"
"Hey, how do you know so clearly?"
"Hey, didn't you pass by my door during the funeral? I felt extremely unlucky at the time, and I remembered it soon."
Soon, the news that the lost child came from the Rongguo Mansion spread rapidly, and spread from the outer city to the inner city in a blink of an eye.
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
In Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Jia threw a few cups on the table to the ground angrily, and asked the eldest son below, "Didn't you tell the people in the newspaper office to shut up and not report this matter? Why did you spread the news in a blink of an eye?" The entire capital is ups and downs, our old relatives came to ask if this matter is true, I am completely ashamed!"
Jia He, the elder of the Jia family, said with a nonchalant expression: "Ma'am, I already took the post to say it, but it was reported by another newspaper, not the Beijing Morning Post I went to before."
Mrs. Jia was angry that her son was useless, "I asked you to do something, and you made a mistake, are you still reasonable?"
Jia He continued to defend, "This restaurant was only opened, how would I know that they would report this matter, not to mention that they didn't name it and say it's our home."
Old Mrs. Jia shook her hands angrily, pointed at him and said, "Are you still explaining to others? They have come to your door with bullying, and they are so detailed, who knows our family can't see it?"
Jia He was not afraid of the boiling water, so he flicked his sleeves and said, "Anyway, I think what the newspaper said is quite right. Our family is now a brother or not, and a brother or a brother. If the wife wants the second brother to inherit the title, just say so, Why do these little tricks? It's not annoying."
Mrs. Jia hammered her chest, pretending that she didn't want to, but her eldest son's title was conferred by the imperial court, and she can't change it if she wants.
Why didn't Zheng'er, who only hated her, be thrown into her stomach first, but instead let such a useless thing occupy the place.
Jia He was used to his mother being biased, and when he saw that she was clutching her chest again, he became impatient and strode away.
Mrs. Jia was so angry that she fell on her back again, and then asked the maid beside her, "Is Zheng'er back? If he comes back, call him over." Compared to this ineffective elder son, he was already a fifth-rank official at a young age. Her youngest son pleases her even more, and the future of the Rongguo Mansion depends on Zheng'er.
Jia Zheng was quickly invited over. Hearing Mrs. Jia's account of the incident, he said with a face of humiliation: "This is slander. Why would my son abduct Lian'er for the sake of his title?" But he didn't veto his coveted title of Dafang.
Mrs. Jia was angry for a while, but now she is not so angry anymore.In turn, he comforted his youngest son, "Zheng'er, other people's families don't know about our family, so they will make wild guesses. You are a man, and a mother can't understand."
"Madam..." Jia Zheng was deeply moved, and then he said in disgust: "It's all the fault of that newspaper, that such false news broke out, it's simply an ulterior motive, trying to harm me and my elder brother Ni Qiang." !"
Mrs. Jia was also filled with righteous indignation: "We must not spare them easily, use your elder brother's post to tell the people of Shuntian Mansion to arrest these people and put them in prison. Complain to the Empress Dowager."
Jia Zheng quickly stopped him and said, "No, ma'am, I'll go right away, it's okay if I go right away."
At this time, a girl in her early ten years came out of the inner room. The girl was raised dignifiedly and beautifully. She was resting in the room just now, rubbing her eyes and came out. She saw Jia Zheng and Mrs. Jia calling out affectionately, "Father, old ancestor .”
Mrs. Jia dreamed of the eldest granddaughter she brought up with her own hands, she smiled instantly, and beckoned her to come over, and while feeding her honey water, she said to her youngest son, "Okay, you have to deal with this matter quickly. "
Jia Zheng was grateful that his eldest daughter came out in time, otherwise the old lady didn't know how to make trouble with him.
"Hey, my son will go right away."
The number of newspaper circulation exceeded the standard, which made the whole newspaper very happy.
Zhang Shaoyang clapped his palms to attract the attention of others, and said happily, "This time we have made a good turnaround, but it must have attracted the attention of our colleagues. It's so easy, not only do we have to face obstacles from our peers, presumably the Rongguo Mansion will not let us go, after all we made the Rongguo Mansion make a big joke this time."
Feng Xiang stood up and said, "We're not afraid of this, we're telling the truth, can Rongguo Mansion block our newspaper?"
Zhang Tinglu also stood up, "If they leave the officialdom, I will go to my father and say that he is just giving them face by calling the Rongguo Mansion. If we really make us anxious, I won't even leave them with the foundation."
"Don't stay! Don't stay!" A large group of men shouted at the throat.
Zhang Shaoyang said again: "Since everyone has made up their minds, I will not stop you. Now that we have a good start, the sales of our newspaper will definitely increase in the future, so... Recruit! Recruit immediately!"
A group of people howled excitedly again. For them, having a new person means having a new person who can be exploited and oppressed. Those people are gearing up to train the new guy.
Jia Zheng endured his elder brother's cynicism before he brought the post, and when he arrived at Shuntian Mansion, he told the story directly.
The governor of Shuntian Prefecture rejected it without any regard for affection.
Jia Zheng's face was ugly, but Fu Yin didn't care at all. He and Zhang Ying were officials in the same dynasty. Two days ago, Zhang Ying asked him to take care of his third son. Fu Yin made people pay attention.
This time, Jia Zheng, a fifth-rank official, took a post from a falsely-ranked general to instruct a third-rank official to arrest Zhongtang's son.
Fu Yin didn't bother to argue with him, and directly said that it was impossible to help him catch the son of a first-rank official, Jia Zheng left with a pale face and panic.
My family knows about my family, the Rongguo Mansion is only superficially honorable, sticking to the plaque of the mansion, the only person I can rely on is my son-in-law who is far away in Yangzhou, and now even a palace eunuch can come to fight the autumn breeze.
How dare he offend a first-rank official.
After returning home, he didn't dare to tell the old lady about this matter, and ordered the concierge to keep a close eye on it, and no one was allowed to bring the Beijing Daily newspaper into the house in the future.
Soon the next day, the Beijing Daily published the recruitment news, and Feng Xiang came out on top and started applying for the job.
"Excuse me, is this the capital city or the newspaper office?"
Feng Xiang, who was sorting out the manuscript on the desktop, raised his head, and soon he was frightened.
"Yes, what's the matter with the girl coming to our newspaper? If there are news clues, go out and turn right to the news room."
Feng Xiang didn't expect that the first person who came to the door was a woman. This woman had a big braid. Although she was wearing men's clothing and a hat, she could still see her true gender at a glance.
The woman walked in and came to the desk, "I don't have news leads, I'm here to apply for a job, aren't you recruiting here?"
"Application?" Feng Xiang was taken aback, and quickly waved his hands, "Gu, miss, we don't recruit women here."
The woman ignored him, but looked him up and down, and said calmly: "But your newspaper didn't say that you won't recruit women!"
"But, but..." Feng Xiang hesitated and couldn't speak. No one expected that a woman would apply for the job.
"If you can't make the decision, then find someone who can make the decision!" Anyway, she has entered the newspaper office.
When Feng Xiang heard this, he ran to the editorial room and told the story. Except for a few editors who avoided suspicion and didn't come, Zhang Shaoyang and Zhang Tinglu followed Feng Xiang.
Zhang Tinglu was taken aback when he saw the woman, unlike the other two, he couldn't see the fabric on the woman's body, it was a tribute that ordinary people couldn't touch.
"Girl, please don't embarrass us, we are all old men here, it's really not suitable for a girl to stay for a long time." Zhang Tinglu took a step forward, cupped her hands and said with a wry smile.
The woman glanced at Zhang Tinglu, and said in a slightly impatient tone, "Since you know, then just separate the courtyard and open another door. What's more, our Manchu aunts are not as coy as Han women, who want to put guns on the horses in the previous years." It’s not like it hasn’t been done.”
Come on, it seems that this aunt's identity is not simple!
Zhang Tinglu could tell that this person was definitely not an ordinary person, otherwise he wouldn't have the confidence to order them. He knew at a glance that he was usually in a high position and was used to commanding people.
Zhang Tinglu backed away, and Feng Xiang continued on the stage, "Girl, we go out to run news every day, and we deal with ordinary people. This is really not suitable for you."
The woman raised her head, "Didn't you say that there is that kind of work that deals with writing? Don't worry, our family does not have the idea that Han women are virtuous if they are not talented. I have also been reading and writing since I was a child, although I can't write a few good poems. , but I have read the Four Books and Five Classics." Speaking of this, he said impatiently, "I just annoy you men, and I make a newspaper for you stinky men. Why don't you have some content for women?"
"I know how to evaluate poetry and songs. I have learned makeup, hairstyles, and clothing matching since I was a child. I have learned everything that girls should learn. I can also do some boxing skills. Ordinary people can't get close to me. Why don't you publish some special teaching in the newspaper What about the daughter of the world?"
Zhang Shaoyang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly lit up his eyes, looking at this woman was like looking at a gleaming gold mine.
Zhang Tinglu at the side immediately saw what he was thinking, pulled him aside and warned in a low voice, "This woman is of extraordinary status, if she is recruited and her family objects, our small newspaper will suffer."
Although Zhang Tinglu's voice was very small, the woman's eyes and ears were clever enough to catch his voice.
"Don't worry, my family can't control me!" the woman said confidently.
Zhang Shaoyang's eyes flickered non-stop, thinking whether it was worth taking the risk.
Zhang Tinglu shook her head and said to the woman, "Girl, our temple is small and we can't afford to offend big people. It can be seen that the girl is of extraordinary status. If your family really blames her, our newspaper may not be able to continue."
The woman patted her chest and assured him: "Don't worry, you can rest assured. With me here, no one dares to make trouble. I can still cover your small newspaper!"
Zhang Tinglu smiled wryly, and wanted to continue persuading her.
The woman became impatient and waved her hand, "I'll tell you directly, my grandma is Princess Gulun Yongmu. I grew up next to the empress dowager. With me sitting here, no one in the capital will have the courage to come here." Trouble with you."
Young people may not know much about Princess Gulun Yongmu, but they still have heard about Zhang Tinglu who was born in an official family.
This is the eldest daughter of the late Empress Dowager.
Relying on the emperor's filial piety to the Empress Dowager, he also treated this aunt differently. When the Empress Dowager was still alive, he often called Princess Gulun Yongmu back to Beijing to accompany the Empress Dowager.
It's just that this one died too early, ten years earlier than the empress dowager. Later, Horqin sent the eldest princess's newborn granddaughter to Beijing.
When this little Gege came to the capital, the Empress Dowager was already in poor health, and she died within a few years, so little Gege was given to the Queen Mother to raise.
He was raised until he was about ten years old, and was sent back to Horqin to reunite with his relatives.
A few days ago, Zhang Tinglu heard that a Mongolian princess had entered the capital. It is said that the princess was a widow not long after she got married. several years.
It seems that this is the princess in front of me.
If it were this person, ordinary people would really dare not provoke her, after all, there is a queen dowager behind her as a big backer.
Wu Rentuya had just met the empress dowager, and she heard new things in the capital from the empress dowager, one of which was the newspaper.
After leaving the palace, she asked people to buy newspapers. It was quite novel at first glance, but she was a little dissatisfied, why didn't they do it for women.
In Mongolia, the status of a woman is not lower than that of a man. For example, she inherited the status and property of her short-lived forehead and managed a small tribe.When there was a war with other tribes, they also raised guns and mounted horses to fight.
So when I saw that there were articles in Chinese, Manchu and even Mongolian, but there were no articles specially written for women, I was a little dissatisfied, and immediately decided to find this recruiting newspaper.Since there wasn't one before, she's here to set a precedent.
As soon as Zhang Shaoyang heard the identity of the person in front of him, his eyes lit up, and before the other two people could speak, he immediately made a decision, "Then I will make the decision to hire... May I ask what your name is?"
"Just call me Chang Hui." Chang Hui is her princess title.
"Miss Changhui, I'll invite manuscripts in the newspaper later, and I'll hand over these manuscripts to you."
There was a wailing sound from the gate, Zhang Tinglu walked over and opened the door, a large group of people fell in.
"What are you doing?"
Of course it was eavesdropping, a woman finally came and talked to the three of them for so long, of course they wanted to come and hear what they were supposed to say?
Someone got up from the ground and raised their hands in protest, "Our newspaper will publish some content about women's clothing matching, isn't it incompatible with our other articles?"
Zhang Shaoyang touched his chin, and said in a deep voice, "That's right!"
There was joy in the eyes of the people on the side, and they wanted to continue to let Zhang Shaoyang dismiss this ridiculous idea.Isn't it because you can't report freely?After finally having their own newspaper, they are naturally unwilling to add some random things.Daily News is their daughter who grew up with careful care. Now that someone wants to intervene by force, they will naturally swear to the death to protect their daughter's reputation.
Zhang Shaoyang quickly thought of a solution, and clapped his hands together, "Then open another newspaper, and I'll apply for a new issue later."
Seeing the innocence of his own newspaper, the others didn't care, and quickly agreed to this matter.
"Since everyone has no objections, let's give our new newspaper a name." Zhang Shaoyang continued.
Men are not interested in a paper for women, nor do they think it will be successful.
Zhang Shaoyang saw that other people didn't take it seriously, and looked at Chang Hui again. Chang Hui lived up to his expectations and said, "Don't you men always say that there is Yan Ruyu in the book? I think it's better to call Yan Bao!"
Zhang Shaoyang thought the name was good, so he asked other people.
Others, less interested, agreed with the name.
At this time, these arrogant men who despise women never imagined that "Yan Bao" would catch up from behind, and its sales volume was far higher than that of "Jingcheng Daily".
Countless girls and young women competed to imitate the makeup and clothing matching in "Yan Bao", and the terrifying sales made the "Daily" people's glasses shattered.
