Ma Yingchu can be described as eloquent.

He was glad in his heart that he had been faithful to his duty.

Liu Zhou is not a prominent minister in the court.

So the average person really doesn't really know anything about him.

Of course, the ministers of the Ministry of Officials and the Imperial Observatory are obviously different.

The officials are in charge of the merit examination of hundreds of officials, and the imperial history platform supervises hundreds of officials.

If Liu Zhou is a person, you don't know, then what else are you monitoring?

Ma Yingchu replied fluently, and he was relieved, he was finally not stumped by His Majesty, if he didn't know who Liu Zhou, the observer of Shaanzhou, was in public today, he was afraid that he would be found and severely attacked.

This also shows that he is loyal to his duties and fulfills his duties.

When Li Shimin heard Ma Yingchu's parity with Liu Zhou, he said: "Is this Yushitai's judgment of Liu Zhou?" ”

Ma Yingchu said: "Exactly, the year before last, it was reported that there was a drought in Shaanzhou, when the Ministry of Officials recommended Liu Zhou to take office, the supervision of the imperial history deliberately checked Liu Zhou's behavior when he was in office, this person has an excellent reputation, and the official reputation is excellent, which can be called a model of capable officials." ”

Ma Yingchu didn't notice at all that Li Shimin's face was a little gloomy inadvertently.

It's just that such gloom quickly disappeared without a trace, and deep down in his heart, he was only afraid of disappointment.

Li Shimin said: "I also deliberately checked the notes about Shaanzhou in the past few years yesterday, as Qing said, whether it is the Ministry of Officials or the Yushitai, or Yongzhou Dao, they all have a good evaluation of this person, and when I am this year, the Ministry of Officials also recommended Liu Zhou as the candidate for Chengdu Yin. ”

Ma Yingchu was overjoyed, and immediately said: "The minister also thinks that this person is worthy of this great responsibility, and the minister is to supervise the imperial history, and I learned that Liu Zhou is a person with a profound and far-reaching demeanor, although he may not be called Wang Zuozhi's talent, but he is enough to govern one side and take charge alone." ”

Li Shimin's eyes raised slightly, as if he was unaware of Ma Yingchu's words.

A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at the ministers and said, "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

The ministers didn't know why His Majesty suddenly asked about Liu Zhou, and they only thought that His Majesty wanted to change the topic.

But at this time...... But it was just a good opportunity to show himself, and the imperial historians who had stood out of the class before said: "What Ma Xianggong said is extreme, Liu Zhou is a great person." ”

Here, some people do have an impression of Liu Zhou, and some people ...... It's just a simple compliment.

Ma Yingchu said at this time: "Your Majesty, the ministers are fighting for it, and it is here." Hundreds of officials who violate the prohibition can be supervised by the imperial history, so they often have a jealous heart, so that they can use their lives wholeheartedly. But the influence of the newspaper is not under the courtiers, the influence of this newspaper is so huge that it can shake people's hearts, doesn't it need to be supervised by the imperial history? The minister was beaten, and this matter can be ignored, but the minister is the minister of the society, dedicated to the king's order, and should be loyal and outspoken, so it is recommended that the newspaper be set up under the imperial history platform, and all the articles published will be asked by the imperial history. ”

At this time, Ma Yingchu finally saw the dagger.

The great power of newspapers, these Qingliu imperial historians have long been aware of it, and it is completely foreseeable that whoever controls the newspaper will determine the direction of public opinion.

Who wants to become famous, and is there any faster shortcut than the newspaper?

At this time, the newspaper will be directly supervised by the Imperial History Observatory, so every article in it will be mastered by the Imperial History.

Whoever dares to disobey the newspaper can be directly removed from the newspaper office. Not to mention, the daily income of the newspaper is also amazing, and the oil and water are abundant.

After listening to Ma Yingchu's words, many people became sharpened, and they were obviously greatly encouraged at once.

Not only those imperial histories, but even the imperial historian Wen Yanbo couldn't help but move.

The Imperial Historian is the highest official of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and Wen Yanbo, from the Taiyuan Wen family, can be said to be from a famous family, in the early years, he was the founder of the country, after that, Li Shimin appreciated his courage to make suggestions, so he was appointed as the Imperial Historian.

Of course, the official position of the Imperial Doctor is not high, and the officials who have always supervised are often of relatively low rank. But Wen Yanbo was different, at that time, in order to strengthen the supervision ability of the Imperial Historical Observatory, this imperial historian also served as the squire of Shangshu Province.

This imperial historian has a lot of responsibility, but the grade is relatively low, but the squire of Shangshu Province is ranked second-class, which is almost equivalent to the status of the second assistant of the imperial court.

Wen Yanbo, as the supreme governor of the Yushi Tower, his words are very weighty.

Originally, Yu Shi was beaten, although he was slightly angry, he could still keep calm, because in his opinion, the Yu Shi made trouble, and he, as the Yu Shi doctor, did not need to be involved, not to mention that it was aimed at the Chen family, and it was best to choose patience before there was a real certainty.

And now, Ma Yingchu asked His Majesty to allow the Yushitai to supervise the newspaper, and at this moment, Wen Yanbo's eyes suddenly opened, if he can really let the Yushitai supervise the newspaper, then the Yushitai can be like a tiger, and his weight in the court is only more sufficient, even ...... As the squire of Shangshu Province and the Imperial Doctor, he can compete with Sun Wuji, the chief scholar of the Ministry of Officials.

So Wen Yanbo stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what Ma Yushi said is not unreasonable. ”

Li Shimin saw that Wen Yanbo had spoken, and at this time, he ...... But I already know that now, I have to give an explanation.

You can ignore Xiao Yushi's words, but Wen Yanbo, as the imperial historian, has also come out to speak, but today he has to be judged.

It's just that...... It's strange that Li Shimin didn't say a word, just smiled.

Wen Yanbo's influence is still huge, and it can be called a small fight, but now, more and more people are standing up.

This said: "I beg your majesty to think twice." ”

The one said: "How can things like newspapers be entrusted with the Chen family." ”

"Your Majesty......"

The people who stand up are becoming more and more weighty.

And Ma Yingchu was obviously relieved, he knew in his heart that things were ...... It's finally time to have an eyebrow.

Li Shimin suddenly said: "What does the Chen Qing family think about this matter? ”

Chen Zhengtai knew in his heart that the benefits of this newspaper had long been seen, and now that the newspaper had just been established, these hungry wolves were eager to tear off a piece of meat from the newspaper.

Ma Yingchu is a person who can be said to have more than enough success and more than failure, and he wants to take revenge in his heart, so he deliberately pulled the civil and military capital of the Manchu Dynasty into the water.

This civil and military official, who doesn't look at the newspapers...... If you support the Imperial Tower, anyone may get a piece of the pie in the future.

So......

Chen Zhengtai calmly spit out two words: "No." ”

"Why not?" Li Shimin fussed the case and looked at Chen Zhengtai deeply.

Chen Zhengtai said: "The most important thing for newspapers is timeliness, if everything is supervised by the imperial history, then how to ensure that the latest news is published in the first time?" This is one of them. ”

"Second: The newspaper already has shares in the palace, if something goes wrong with the publication, if it is impeached afterwards, it is not impossible, but if the newspaper is placed under the imperial history, the minister is afraid that the newspaper will arrive...... It's hard to make a difference. Besides, in order to set up this newspaper, countless sums of money were spent and a lot of people were raised, all of which were spent by the East Palace and the Chen family. Now that there is a slight profit, the Yushitai wants to take it away, so ...... Dare to ask Your Majesty, how much will it cost to invest a lot of money to establish a printing workshop and recruit more manpower? If they don't produce anything, they can get benefits in the name of supervision, and this is unjustifiable! ”

Li Shimin bowed, and then looked at Wen Yanbo: "Wen Qingjia thinks what Zhengtai said, is it reasonable?" ”

"It doesn't make sense!" Wen Yanbo replied without thinking about it.

Now that he has stood up, how can Wen Yanbo easily overturn his opinion? He continued eloquently: "You can't just look at money in everything, it's a major matter of the state, and you can't affect the country's politics because of your own selfishness. Now that Chen Juma has opened his mouth and closed his mouth, it is money and real money, these words are not worth refuting. ”

"Your Majesty, only by putting the newspaper office under the Imperial Historical Observatory can the Imperial Historical Observatory use this to correct the people's customs, and at the same time eliminate those newspaper personnel who are uneven, so that the newspaper can be used by the imperial court. This is the minister's opinion......"

Everyone looked at Li Shimin.

Everything that needs to be said has been said, and it depends on the final result!

Li Shimin said: "What Wen Qing's family said is not unreasonable. The newspaper is a big matter, how can it be underestimated? ”

Wen Yanbo, Ma Yingchu and others were overjoyed when they heard this.

"But if you hand it over to the Imperial Tower, will I be able to rest assured?" Li Shimin suddenly asked.

Wen Yanbo, Ma Yingchu and the others were stunned, and Ma Yingchu couldn't help but say: "Why did Your Majesty say this?" ”

Li Shimin suddenly opened his eyes: "Come on, take the note about Liu Zhou." ”

Everyone couldn't help but be confused.

Let's talk about the newspaper well, why does it have anything to do with Liu Zhou?

Zhang Qian understood and seemed to have been prepared, and after a while, he asked the little eunuch to bring a pile of notes.

The recital was placed in front of Li Shimin, Li Shimin opened a copy casually, and then said: "These recitals are all from the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Ministry of Officials, Ma Qingjia is not wrong, his impression of Liu Zhou is indeed the judgment of the Imperial Historical Observatory on Liu Zhou." In March of the previous year, the imperial historian commended Liu Zhou, saying that he knew people well in office and was praised by the people. In September last year, he praised him for his meritorious service in governing the people. ”

Wen Yanbo and Ma Yingchu glanced at each other, still feeling a little incomprehensible.

"But ......" Speaking of this, Li Shimin's face suddenly fell, and his voice became stern.

He picked up the Yushitai song and smashed it straight into the face of Ma Yingchu.

Syllable......

Song Shu directly hit Ma Yingchu's face door, Song Shu is not heavy, but Li Shimin's strength is big, and he is accurate, impartial, right in the middle of Ma Yingchu's face door, Ma Yingchu is in pain, ah.

But I heard Li Shimin say angrily: "Is this really the case? ”

Wen Yanbo was already taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Yushitai...... What's wrong? ”

"What's wrong? The drought in Shaanzhou the year before last, have you forgotten? That Liu Zhou reported it...... What is it? Li Shimin continued angrily: "What he reported was that the drought was mild, but it was just a problem of scabies, which was insignificant. ”

"This ......"

This...... This matter is conclusive, in fact, the Yushitai also sent someone to check the disaster, and the conclusion reached is not bad with what Liu Zhou reported by the observation envoy, but I don't know why His Majesty brought up this matter again at this time? ”

Li Shimin looked angry, staring at Wen Yanbo and Ma Yingchu and said, "Now I come to ask you, is this really the case?" ”

Wen Yanbo suddenly lost his confidence, and he was busy and silent.

Ma Yingchu subconsciously said: "Your Majesty, isn't that the case?" ”

When Li Shimin heard this, his fists were clenched, and he gurgled and said, "Okay, I'll let you see what the truth is today, Chen Zhengtai." ”

Chen Zhengtai immediately said: "Erchen is here." ”

Li Shimin said: "Yesterday, I sent an edict to you, asking you to investigate the drought in Shaanzhou, what did you find out?" ”

There was an uproar in the temple.

No one expected that His Majesty would secretly ask Chen Zhengtai to investigate the old things a few years ago.

It's just that...... It only takes a day to come to a conclusion?

Or, maybe it's Chen Zhengtai's slander at all.

Yes, it must be slander!

So Ma Yingchu said angrily: "Your Majesty, Chen Juma is not a full-time imperial history, what can he check in one day?" His words are not worth taking. ”

Li Shimin ignored Ma Yingchu, only looked at Chen Zhengtai and asked, "Say, what did you find?" ”

"Three years ago, there was a severe drought in Shaanzhou, grain production was reduced by 60 percent, and a large number of rich households took this opportunity to hoard goods and live in strange places. Chen Zhengtai said without hesitation.

There was another uproar in the temple.

No one thought that Chen Zhengtai would come to such a conclusion.

And his conclusion is completely opposite to that of the Imperial Historical Observatory.

Wen Yanbo and Ma Yingchu were clearly incredulous.

The ministers were already buzzing and began to talk in a low voice, and no one expected it...... This has come to this point.

This is tantamount to Chen Zhengtai, who fired directly at Yushitai.

In the past, Yushitai always made trouble for others and blamed others for their mistakes, but now it ......

Wen Yanbo suddenly glared at Chen Zhengtai angrily and said, "Chen Zhengtai...... Don't talk nonsense. ”

Chen Zhengtai seemed to be angry, and said coldly: "It's you who is talking nonsense, you are a royal doctor, you can't understand the situation, and the corpse is a vegetarian meal, and you dare to make noise here!" ”

"You ......" Wen Yanbo was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

This time I stabbed the hornet's nest, how could the imperial historians be willing to rest? It blew up all at once.

Ma Yingchu sneered: "Dare to ask Chen Juma, why do you say this, everything must be evidenced, where is the evidence?" ”

"Chen Juma blamed Yushitai so much, but it was because ...... Want to communiqué a personal vendetta? ”

"Chen Horse ......"

Chen Zhengtai seems to have suddenly become the target of public criticism.

In fact...... Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji admired Chen Zhengtai's courage very much, which was tantamount to suddenly holding a bag of explosives and blowing up Yushitai's lair, this guy ...... It's very brave.

I just don't know...... Will it be torn apart by a group of imperial historians?

Chen Zhengtai said word by word at this time: "Evidence? While...... Correct...... Yes...... Proof...... Occupy! ”
