Chapter 336: Creating a Newspaper

"Fourth brother, why do you have the kung fu to come to the third brother today? Can you finish your homework in the study? ”

Hongshi looked at the fourth elder brother Hongli who looked calm and relaxed, and he was a little angry in his heart, if it weren't for him, how could he be forced to such a field today? Even the position of the crown prince is completely hopeless when he is Hongshi.

The mentality of envy and jealousy has constituted the pain in Hongshi's heart, and he even thought about sending someone to assassinate Hongli, and at that time he Hongshi is undoubtedly the prince's choice, and the old five Hongday, who acted absurdly, did not threaten him at all.

Compared with Hongshi, who gritted his teeth, Hongli smiled indifferently and said: "With the third brother Lao cares, the homework in the study is naturally already in place, but today's Mr. teaches a section, called filial piety, Hongli has a lot of puzzles in his heart, and I hope that the third brother will teach one or two more." ”

In front of Hongshi, the word "filial piety" is simply scolding the bald donkey in front of the monk, Hongli smiled on the surface, but when he spoke, he was like a small knife, poking directly into Hongshi's heart.

"Hmph, the third brother naturally knows how to practice filial piety, as for the fourth brother, you should worry more about your own family affairs." As he spoke, Hongshi no longer ignored Hongli on the side, so he turned his head and walked back, but he felt a little more remorseful in his heart.

After forcing Hongshi away, Hongli's face was a little more worried, although he was young, but he was smart by nature, even Emperor Kangxi thought it was possible, so for the situation facing Emperor Yongzheng now, he also had a little more clear cognition, and said a bad word, which was quite the end of the dynasty.

It's just that there is no point in understanding this, and Hongli, who is still young, has no way to meddle in important national affairs, let alone come up with better solutions, so he has to read books every day, often hoping to learn things in books and find ways to deal with Chu Rebellion.

It's just that no matter how smart Hongli is, all he learns are some Confucian scriptures, these mysterious and mysterious things, it is not good for the brain to learn too much, and it is even more difficult to find a way to save the world.

However, Hongli's behavior is not completely useless, but it has strengthened Yongzheng's idea, that is, to establish Hongli as his successor.

Especially after vomiting blood this time, Yongzheng already has a little understanding of the situation of his body, that is, it is by no means a portrait of longevity, although it is not to the point of saying that there is no such thing, but Yongzheng has to consider the Aixin Jueluo family, and he has to lay a foundation as soon as possible to prevent it.

In order to establish a successor, Yongzheng specially summoned all the banner owners of the Qing Dynasty, as well as the princes and ministers, in order to discuss the current first-class affairs of the Qing court.

Speaking of which, in any feudal dynasty, the relevant system for the heir is always the most important, because it is related to the future of an empire, and for the ministers who have just experienced the battle for the succession of Kangxi Kowloon, this is more like a bloody fight.

Before and after Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, there were already several princes who fell on the road to seize the heir, not to mention those ministers who were attached to them, and they were even more like predecessors and successors, and they couldn't get out of it at all, the prince, the eldest brother, the eighth elder brother, the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother and the old fourteenth, these people and their henchmen all became victims of the succession, and many more disappeared in this battle.

Now, Yongzheng is going to change this situation, at least in today's Qing Dynasty, it is impossible to experience such a turmoil, otherwise the world will be gone.

"When the first emperor took the exam, you should all keep in mind the lessons of the struggle for succession, and now that I have inherited the unification, I can no longer use the throne as the source of the struggle between the princes, and the relevant system will naturally be established."

When Yongzheng said this, he also glanced around at the princes and ministers, and saw that most of the Manchurian relatives and nobles did not think so, while the Hanchen seemed quite excited.

"Slaves, ministers, etc., strictly obey the emperor's will, and ask the emperor to make it clear."

No matter what the big guy thinks in his heart, this really needs to be changed on the bright side, after all, the shadow of the past succession also made them feel tired, in fact, the battle for the succession during the Kangxi period had an almost unprecedented impact on the country, and even the rift created in the court has continued to this day, and the big guy can't stand it.

Of course, there is a reason for this, after all, before the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it was born as a barbarian, and under the influence of the old customs of Manchuria, the heir was not established in accordance with the so-called "concubine" concept in the early years, especially the first three generations of rulers of the Qing Dynasty never clarified the position of the prince during his lifetime.

However, during the Kangxi period, Emperor Kangxi still hoped to improve, so he imitated the traditional Han dynasty's primogeniture inheritance system, and in the fourteenth year of Kangxi, the eldest son Yinren was appointed as the crown prince.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Eight Banners, the so-called elder system is a joke completely, and when they heard that Yongzheng's words had some plans to restore the old system, they were not so cold, and the Hanchens hoped that the system could follow the traditional Confucian system, and they hoped that Yongzheng could implement the primogeniture inheritance system.

But how could Yongzheng, who had experienced the battle for the heir, be superstitious about the so-called primogeniture inheritance system? Not to mention what kind of virtue his nominal eldest son Hongshi is now, Yongzheng is even clearer in his heart, in fact, he has already planned it.

"I think that the essence of the emperor's examination is to establish a virtuous person, so that the country of my Qing Dynasty can be inherited by a virtuous king, rather than stolen by such villains, so it seems that Prince Lian and other generations who are born of Xinzhiku's cheap women have no possibility of getting involved in the country."

A sneer appeared on Yongzheng's face, no matter when, he would take the fight against Prince Lian as a political matter, and Kangxi despised him as a slut in Xinzhiku, and this sentence was often raised.

"I think that the elder system is not advisable, but the establishment of virtuous people should not be the same as in the past, otherwise sooner or later it will become a weapon of internal party contention, which is definitely not my original intention. Therefore, the matter of establishing a successor needs to be re-planned. ”

When Yongzheng was saying these words, the princes and ministers below who were bowing their heads felt a burst of coldness, this emperor was too straightforward, and it was unacceptable to be straightforward.

"Slaves, ministers, etc. dare not ......."

Seeing that the princes and ministers did not dare to object, Yongzheng said with some pride: "I have been thinking about this matter for a long time, and I have seen many things in other countries. After the death of the king, the minister and the prince jointly issued a seal to him, so as to ensure the stability of the country's inheritance. ”

After listening to Yongzheng's recipe from Persia, the princes and ministers were a little silent, most of them were not stupid people, of course they understood the power of this system, but they were shocked and sighed in their hearts.

Strictly speaking, the matter of fighting for the prince is often the key point of the confrontation between the monarchy and the relative power, and the political turmoil in the history because of the succession struggle is countless, almost all dynasties and dynasties have it, the ministers' idea is very simple, since the current emperor cannot be changed, then change the next emperor, as long as the emperor insists on brainwashing, one day the imperial power will be played by them in applause, which is also the fact that even if Zhu Yuanzhang cancels the prime minister system, it is inevitable that the imperial power of his children and grandchildren will be greatly compressed.

But Yongzheng is now finding a different way, aren't you going to play a routine around the prince? Okay, I can make a prince, but none of you can know!

At this point, Yongzheng fully learned the lesson of Kangxi, after all, in the original open reserve system, almost whoever was the prince became the target of attack, not only did many people secretly stare at the stumbling block, but even the relationship with the emperor became the relationship between the prince and the king, which was also a threat to the emperor.

Therefore, when Yongzheng adopted the method of secretly building a prince, the matter of establishing a prince completely became the emperor's right, so that all the princes could see hope, but there was no clear goal of competition, which could avoid sibling rivalry to a certain extent, and also avoid the power group centered on the prince, and even if the ministers could guess some, it was difficult to guarantee that the emperor would not modify it, so that the power of the monarch was above the ministers.

The princes and ministers all fell into a dead silence, even if the Hanchen wanted to oppose it, in fact, they couldn't find any good reason to object, after all, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty followed the old Manchurian system, and your Han customs could not be imposed on the emperor, so even if the Hanchen wanted to speak, there was no other way.

"The slave thinks that the emperor's strategy is really wonderful, and it can be fully credited."

"The minister thinks that secretly building a reserve is a good strategy to stabilize the world!"

Without the opposition, the rest is naturally all those boastful words, but everyone praised Yongzheng as if there was nothing in heaven and earth, and praised this secret storage system.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have already drafted an edict, and now it is hidden behind this righteous and bright plaque, and if I go one day, you can open the edict and support a new monarch to succeed to the throne! After this incident, no one is allowed to speak to me about the prince, and those who violate the decree will be severely punished! ”

"Whoa.......

The new secret storage system was thus passed, but everyone knew in their hearts that the riddle was no longer a mystery at all, but two obvious words - Hongli. As for the rest of the Hongshi and Hongday, it is almost impossible to pose a threat to Hongli anymore.

At the same time, Hongshi's dissatisfaction with Yongzheng in his heart is also getting deeper and deeper, he began to repeatedly contact the people in the Eight Masters Party, and even took the risk to meet Yun Xu, who was still studying behind closed doors, of course, all this naturally could not escape Yongzheng's eyes.

It's just that Yongzheng at this time is more forbearant than before, he almost uses a clown posture to watch his son jump up and down, but his heart is gradually killing intent, but this thought has laid the groundwork for the political chaos in the future.

Compared with the thunderstorm of the Qing court, Zhu Yigui, who fled to Taiwan in embarrassment at this time, was almost about to go crazy, he rushed to Quanzhou from Taiwan for less than a month, but he was driven into the sea by a wave of surprise attacks of the Han army, and the elite troops around him were also scattered, and even fell seriously ill after returning to Taiwan.

Zhu Yigui certainly hated the Fu Han Army in his heart, but he no longer trusted Huang Dian, who went to negotiate, and there was a complete rift between him and the old brothers back then.

But at this time, Huang Dian sent a letter to Zhu Yigui, claiming that he had reached an agreement with Ning Chu, and he had signed with Ning Chu on behalf of the Ming Army.

With Ning Yu's talks this time, several parties have more or less internal disputes, and while Ning Yu is watching a good show, he has not forgotten his own family affairs, and it is also a very important matter - running a newspaper.

Speaking of which, an artifact like a newspaper is really a good thing for the emperor!

For the emperor, the most intolerable thing is that the people below collude, resulting in the emperor's ears and eyes being blinded, so most emperors will have a spy force in their hands, so as to ensure that the emperor has a more real understanding of the situation below, like the factory guard, Jiangnan three weaving is also the same.

In fact, in the current role of shadows, there are also tasks such as monitoring economic activities and prices in various places, but in Ning Yu's expectations, if there is a newspaper as a supplement, it can also play a part of the role.

In addition, another important task of the newspaper is supervision, although Ningyu has reformed the Metropolitan Procuratorate and is independent of the Executive Yuan, but after having a newspaper, it can also play a certain auxiliary supervisory role.

Finally, the newspaper has one of the most important responsibilities, and that is the role of conveying information. In fact, since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court at that time has begun to establish newspapers, but the newspapers at that time were very different from the newspapers of later generations, it was called the Di Bao or the copy, which was specially used to publish the emperor's edicts, ministers' decrees, decrees and other government documents.

Of course, today's Da Chu also has a Di newspaper, but what Ning Yu wants is not just a Di newspaper that circulates among ministers, but a newspaper that can be seen by the public, at least most readers.

It's just that for Ning Yu, there are no so-called talents in the news industry at the moment, and the little fur he has is not enough to support a newspaper, so before he creates a newspaper, the first thing he needs to do is to gather talents.

Although there are not many talents in Dachu at present, there are at least three people available for Ning Yu to choose from in front of him, namely Jiangnan Confucianism Lu Yizhong, as well as the great Confucian Yan Hongkui, and Peng Qifeng, the champion who has just finished watching politics.
