Chapter 218: Fine Traditions

When a man sits at home, and the pot comes from heaven,

Today, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Shimin also stole half a day of leisure, accompanied the concubines in the palace, and enjoyed the flowers in the garden, which was the time to have fun.

"Tengu Eclipse Day!"

Among the accompanying palace maids and eunuchs, an exclamation suddenly sounded, and a little eunuch was full of horror.

In order to survive in the palace, he naturally understands some taboos, and knowing what it means to "eat the day of the tengu" is the source of his fear.

In addition, it disturbed the interest of His Majesty's mothers, and this time it may really be difficult to escape!

Li Shimin had no time to take care of him, raised his head, squinted, looked at the sun that seemed to have been bitten, his face was solemn, and he suddenly lost interest in playing.

"Tengu Eclipse Day, I'm afraid it's going to be dark this day, so let's go back to the dormitory first."

Li Shimin appeased, and the concubines dispersed, and he also left this place and rushed to the Liangyi Palace.

Inside the temple.

Li Junxian, the head of the spies, was ordered to hurry over, and when he saw Li Shimin rushing over, he hurriedly prepared to salute.

Li Shiming stopped him, and while walking inside, he went straight to the point and asked, "No need to be polite!" What is the situation outside Aiqing's palace? Is there any gossip? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there are no rumors yet, and most people in the world are watching the wonders."

"Aiqing always pays attention, if there are any rumors, they should be caught, and they will not be tolerated!" Li Shiming said vigorously that he completely regarded it as a major event.

Once the family threatens with this, it is another headache, and this is not once or twice.

"Whoa!"

Li Junxian saluted and received the order, and then he wanted to speak and stopped, not knowing whether to say it or not. Li Shiming looked at it in his eyes and said with a smile, "Aiqing, but it's okay to talk about it." ”

"This time, not a few people sneered at the people who beat the gong to drive away the tengu......

Li Junxian's words stopped abruptly halfway, he often accompanied Li Shimin, and he was also present when the incident in Lishan Xinggong happened, knowing that Li Er didn't want to hear Fang Yi's love, so he hesitated to say it.

"Didn't Aiqing accept the benefits of Fang Er and come to speak for him?"

Li Er glanced at him and said a word lightly, unable to hear joy or anger.

Li Junxian didn't dare to be careless at all, the cold sweat on his forehead came down, and he bent down and shook it deeply, "Please also ask Your Majesty to be clear!" The minister and Xin Fengbo had no dealings, but they only felt that this matter was different, so they reported it to His Majesty. ”

"Haha, Aiqing doesn't need to be nervous, I trust Aiqing."

Li Shimin laughed, and even got up and stepped forward to pick up Li Junxian in person.

Li Junxian's attitude became more and more respectful, and he couldn't figure out which of His Majesty's words was true, and when he left, he was one foot deep and one foot shallow, as if he was stepping on cotton.

After Li Junxian left, Li Er raised his eyebrows and said, "Hmph! This little bastard has finally done something! ”

Li Er naturally remembered the "solar eclipse theory" proposed by Fang Yiai, but a few people believed it, but they didn't know it, and they could never wake up a person who pretended to be asleep.

"Don't think that now I will let you go!"

……

A few hours later, the eclipse ended.

Inevitably, some people who read books start conspiracy theories, "Why do solar eclipses happen for no reason?" ”

"This is a warning from heaven that there must be injustice in the world."

All kinds of speculations and interpretations, like a group of demons dancing wildly, have emerged one after another, and they are all overwhelmed, but each has its own ghosts......

However, most people are still sober, "You have to talk nonsense!" Xinfengbo has already said that the 'Tengu Eclipse Day' is just an astronomical phenomenon, and the moon covers the sun. ”

"Don't be ashamed! Fang Yiai is a saint, what he said must be right? ”

"Not bad! From the following point of view, today's warning from heaven is to say that he has left love, disrespects heaven and earth, and does not respect the king, what a great rebellion! ”

"If you dare to spread rumors and make trouble, beware of going to the yamen and arresting you, a person with evil intentions."

For a time, the two camps were tense and could not hold each other......

"What do you mean by making a lot of nonsense here, can you dare to theorize with the Yamen." Suddenly, someone proposed, and the other party's arrogance weakened.

……

Following.

The front page of Datang Daily featured the eclipse.

The name is "Solar Eclipse", not "Tengu Eclipse Sun", which not only explains the cause of this phenomenon according to the rules of the eclipse. It was also announced: Science Gate predicts the next solar eclipse, which will soon be published in newspapers.

When a stone really stirred up a thousand waves, Fang Yiai's camp suddenly stabilized the army's heart.

At the same time, there are a lot less other sounds.

This time the solar eclipse did not cause much turmoil.

On the other side, Li Chunfeng, who was busy receiving guests at home, received a task: to predict the time of the next solar eclipse. Fang Yiai threw the matter to Li Tai, and the little fat man lost it to Li Chunfeng.

Science is still a good tradition!

Fang Yiai's opponents, and those who planned to make trouble with this, saw the newspaper for the first time.

Although it is not good to deal with Fang Yiai, it is undeniable that the newspaper is a good thing, and the big and small trends of Chang'an are controlled by one hand, and they have already developed the habit of reading the newspaper, otherwise they will only lag behind.

"What does Brother Xian think about this? This world, is it really as Fang Yiai said? ”

In a palatial warm pavilion, two middle-aged people sit opposite each other, dressed in cyan Confucian shirts, and at first glance they are two scholars, both of whom are holding newspapers in their hands.

"I'm not afraid of my brother's jokes, my little brother has some faith. The younger brother has checked the records of the 'solar eclipse' in the past, and it is indeed exactly the same as what he said. ”

"Haha, you and I will wait for news."

The older scholar laughed and noticed his hand, "The newspaper is really a good thing." It's a pity that without the printing technique of Fang Yiai, it is difficult for the newspaper to run. ”

"Yes, I thought he was losing money and making money, but he ever thought that it was such a good business, and its strength should not be underestimated, and Fang Yiai deserved to be a genius."

In fact, now Chang'an has also opened some small newspapers.

Especially after the advertising space was sold, newspapers sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and they hired the best engraving masters to engrave the engraving overnight.

However, if the number of engravings does not come up, only one or two, how fast can the printing speed be?

will only slow down step by step, and when they print a certain amount, Datang Daily has already occupied the market. The sales are not ideal, the advertising space naturally cannot be sold, and the newspaper has become a bottomless pit, and it has to put money into it all the time.

Those who can survive now have the shadow of the family behind them, and the family has a deep heritage, and there is no shortage of this money, just for the power of the newspaper to control public opinion.

"It's a pity that the craftsmen at home are all waste, and after so long, they can't break a printing technique!"

Datang has no shortage of craftsmen with good craftsmanship, what is lacking is the idea of breaking the fixed thinking, and engraving printing has appeared for hundreds of years, and there is movable type printing.
