No one would have thought that late at night, a group of high-ranking officials of the imperial court were gathering in a remote and lonely small shop on the outskirts of Beijing, talking about long and short things.

Talking about the recent policies of the imperial court, they all sighed.

"Zhang Gongchen has fallen into prison, but who knows, is he still alive and well inside?"

"This time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Officials played together, and the emperor ignored it, such a big matter was solved like this?"

Everyone talked about it, and all they said was that they couldn't hold their faces.

After all, you have already made a fuss about this matter, let the emperor solve it lightly, and it is still fame and fortune, and no one wants to.

"What can I do then, keep making trouble?" Zhao Nanxing seemed to have forgotten where he was, he habitually took a sip of tea, and soon spit it back into the bowl, frowning:

"If this matter continues to make trouble, it will become our court officials if it is ignored."

"Don't you continue to watch your relatives make waves, and we are people with lofty ideals, but we are indifferent?" Liu Zongzhou got up angrily and patted the case:

"Now that the news has not been spread, and the people everywhere don't know much, everyone can spread the news about the old protégés from all over the country and ask them to publicize it."

"Although Zhang Gongchen has been imprisoned, according to the old practice of Wanli and Jiajing, he will be released sooner or later, and he must be taken out and beheaded on the street!"

"Can the emperor compromise easily?"

Some people felt that this method was too radical and hesitated:

"After all, this Gongchen is also the brother-in-law of the emperor today, and he was taken to the market and cut down, where is the majesty of the emperor?"

"Then let me ask you, is it the emperor's personal prestige, or is it important to ask for the people's lives?" Liu Zongzhou went up and scolded this hard-willed person on his head and face:

"Thanks to you, you are also a well-read sage! Do you understand the truth that the world is worried about first, and the world is happy and happy? ”

"The emperor is stupid, trying every means to protect his relatives, and we, as courtiers, should be even more straightforward!"

"Otherwise, in this world, who else dares to say that the emperor's words are not?"

"It's a mistake..."The man was dumbfounded, and hurriedly confessed in the face of the indiscriminate attack of the people in Donglin who were crazy.

But in my heart, I actually regret a little why I want to join such a so-called Donglin group of sages.

Zhao Nanxing silently watched them argue for a long time, and then said in the tone of the helmsman:

"It's all quiet—"

"I see, Brother Dong is right about this, the emperor tried his best to protect Zhang Gongchen, isn't it just because of the majesty of the queen and himself?"

"We can't say it in the court, if we can let the scholars, protégés, and people from all over the world know, it can be regarded as doing our best."

When everyone heard this, they all nodded.

This matter has just been decided, but he saw Zou Yuanbiao coming from outside the house in a hurry, and opened his mouth to say:

"No, I don't think you all have to work."

"Nangao, why are you so flustered?" Zhao Nanxing was not surprised to see Zou Yuanbiao, who had resigned and returned to his hometown for several months.

Do you think the resignation is over? Too naïve!

Zou Yuanbiao, Zhao Nanxing, and Gu Xiancheng are known as the three monarchs of Donglin, and they are leaders of Donglin students in various places except for party leader Ye Xianggao.

Zhao Nanxing was in charge of the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the court, and Zou Yuanbiao's role in staying here was far worse than resigning and returning.

Just like Yang Lian before, although he was forced to resign, he was preached by the Donglin Party as unable to stand the eunuch party's chaotic government and resolutely resigned.

With this reputation, you can also hold lectures in the local area, reap fame, and bewitch those frustrated scholars to become their protégés.

This is also the reason why Wei Zhongxian fanned the flames in front of Zhu Youxiao after Yang Lian went back, and found a reason to arrest him and put him in prison.

No way!

Wei Zhongxian understands too well, to deal with these "great sages" whose cheeks are not much different from their own, you have to be that wicked person!

A few months ago, Zou Yuanbiao was humiliated because of his disagreement with Wei Zhongxian, so he resolutely resigned and returned to his hometown.

This is the rhetoric of the Donglin Party, in fact, he just went back to develop his protégé.

The Donglin Party also knows that now that the eunuchs in the court cover the sky with one hand, the emperor doesn't know whether he is really stupid or pretending to be stupid, and he will definitely not care about it anyway.

Zou Yuanbiao stayed in the court and had nothing to do with the impeachment recital, it was far better to return to Jiangnan and open a school to echo them.

In fact, this Zou Yuanbiao has not been idle since he resigned from the official, Jiangnan and Jingshi run around, one is to build momentum for public opinion in Donglin, and the other can also go to the mountains and rivers to make poems.

Why not?

He entered the house, and did not drink the tea of the civilians in the small shop, and took a breath and said:

"The emperor let Wang Tiqian take charge of the Beijing News!"

"Beijing Daily..."Zhao Nanxing wondered:

"The Beijing newspaper has been there since the year of Hongwu, isn't it just to send some court documents, Wang Tiqian is in charge of the Beijing newspaper... Is it going to be restructured? ”

"It's not just about restructuring."

Zou Yuanbiao ran all the way back to Beijing from Jiangnan this time, there must be something important to say, he looked solemn and said:

"All newspaper offices in Jiangnan have purchased the right to reprint from the local political secretary, and this right is now owned by the capital prison!"

"There is also the masthead of the Beijing Daily, which is now only issued by the Metropolitan Prison Office."

As soon as these words fell, everyone thought about it for a while, and they all knew the seriousness of the situation.

Zhao Nanxing thought of something, and said:

"In this way, businessmen from all over the world have recently come to the Metropolitan Prison Mansion to talk about reprinting and buying mastheads?"

"Now the merchants are starting to enter Beijing?" Zou Yuanbiao was also surprised when he heard this:

"These businessmen are really unprofitable, and they come faster than me!"

After that, he arched his hand and said, "Ladies and gentlemen! ”

"The world is about to reach a time of dire straits, if even the wind direction and public opinion in various places are controlled by the eunuch party, the Ming Dynasty will be over!"

"My generation of scholars, we should take the world as our own responsibility, fight against the eunuch party to the end, and never die!"

Everyone was excited, and they gave up their hands one after another.

Soon, they all talked about it, so that the reform of the Beijing newspaper was imperative, and it was too late to stop it now.

So the question is, if the small people in various places have the sources of the imperial court, and still listen to their talents to tell books and comment on things?

If what Xiucai said was different from what was reported in the imperial court Beijing newspaper, Wei Zhongxian still didn't come easily with the crime of spreading rumors and demagoguery?

At that time, I am afraid that even the people will not speak for them, but there is really no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth.

Not only will he be persecuted to death by the eunuchs, but he may even have a reputation behind him!

The more he spoke, the more silent the room became.

In the past, the reason why they dared to speak outright was because they were not afraid of death in this matter, even if the emperor cut you down and raided your house and exterminated the whole clan.

But the purpose of competing for fame has been achieved.

This is also the reason why Zhu Youxiao has endured and not killed before, even if you cut them down, they are also shameful ministers.

It is equivalent to Zhu Youxiao's own hands, and they have been designated as the clear stream of the apocalypse years! How could such a good thing be cheaper for them?

For a long time, Zhu Youxiao has pursued a policy, you advise you, listen to it once, count me as losing!

So why is the Donglin Party afraid now?

If Zhu Youxiao's Beijing newspaper reform is successful, how can a person die, and if a newspaper is published, the whole country will know about it in a few days.

At that time, he was ruined and couldn't get anything.

Compared with death and the killing of the whole clan, what the Donglin Party is most afraid of is that Qingliu's reputation will be smeared, just like the current eunuch party.
