Chapter 88: Zong Xiu Wants to Rebel?

The old eunuch read the words in a straight and round manner, and after reading it, he squeezed out a flattering smile and complimented: "Old slave congratulations to Master Zong, you are the only person who has been awarded both knighthood and honor in the past two years, and I will ask Lord Zong to take care of it in the future." ”

"Founding county? Captain on horseback? ”

Zong Xiuhu looked at the old eunuch suspiciously, but he was thinking in his heart what Li Shimin was thinking?

Yi Qingqing, Jiang Chen was overjoyed. They are all people of this era, and naturally understand the meaning of the title.

"President, don't take the order and thank you soon."

Jiang Chen pushed Zong Xiu, who was still in a daze.

Yi Chengqing even walked into the house quickly and took out a gold ingot and stuffed it to the old eunuch who announced the decree, which was the good news money.

The old eunuch said a few more auspicious words, and then resigned and returned to the palace.

Yi Xiangqing took the holy decree with a face full of joy: "Childe, this is a real official and a knight, why do you look preoccupied?" ”

Jiang Chen also asked curiously, "What is on the chairman's mind?" ”

In the courtyard, the five-month-old golden tiger is staggering with its little short legs to familiarize itself with the environment, and from time to time it makes a 'squeak' sound.

And Zong Xiu was worried, and muttered to himself: "Captain of the Upper Horse? Hey, it's hard to live in the future......"

Yi was puzzled: "What does Childe mean by this?" ”

Zong Xiu shook his head and didn't explain.

Captain of the Cavalry, is it normal to change from a civil officer to a military position?

Maybe this is a foreshadowing from Lao Li Bu! A foreshadowing related to what he said yesterday in the Hall of Lunde!

Give me 100,000 cavalry, pacify the two countries within a year, open up the territory for Your Majesty, and show your strength for the Tang Dynasty!

What he said yesterday was too excited, and some of the words were the pride of being enthusiastic, and he really calmed down, Zong Xiu didn't want to lead the troops to fight.

But how did he know that Lao Li would believe it and prepare to arrange for him to fight Tuguhun next year?

In the small courtyard of Qujiang, Yi Qianqing, Jiang Chen, and Jiang Shi were all puzzled, they couldn't understand why Zong Xiu was promoted but they were unhappy.

Zong Xiu didn't sleep all night, so he thought about it, so he asked Jiang Chen and his family to go home first, and he went back to the house to make up for sleep.

In his sleep, Zong Xiu dreamed in a trance that he was a fast horse in white, leading the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty to the west, killing in a hundred battles.

In the end, I vaguely dreamed that I was jealous of the emperor, and the last cup of poisonous wine was a grievance, and he was buried in the wasteland after removing his armor, and even those soldiers who followed him were enslaved and difficult to turn.

After waking up from the dream, Zong Xiu found himself sweating profusely.

"Damn, is the nerves too sensitive, or have you watched too many TV series, what kind of dream is this?"

Zong Xiu sat on the edge of the bed and shook his head, leaving the ridiculous nightmare behind, and then got up and went out of the house, where he saw Yi Qingqing gently swaying with a stick tied to a fine strip of silk.

The five-month-old golden tiger swooped around the stick with its chubby short legs.

"Childe woke up?"

Yi Qiqing hurriedly got up and threw the stick on the ground, and the little golden tiger took advantage of the situation to pounce on the stick and tear the rags.

Looking at the little guy's biting appearance, Zong Xiu smiled knowingly: "Just woke up." Girl, didn't you sleep? ”

"After sleeping for a while, I heard the golden tiger making a fuss, so I got up."

Yi responded affectionately, grabbed the golden tiger who was holding the stick with his little short legs, and said with love and hatred: "Son, the golden tiger can also be eaten." The half bucket of cow and goat milk that I brought back yesterday is almost finished. As soon as I was full, I ran around, and just got into the stove, and I got dirty......"

Hearing Yi pouring out his feelings and complaining that the golden tiger was naughty, Zong Xiu laughed: "It's in a familiar environment, and it's good to go back and train it." Pandas are smart, and they are no worse than five or six-year-old children in other aspects except that they can't speak. ”

Yi poured a look at Jin Hu, who was committing the second crime, and expressed his disbelief.

Zong Xiu will sleep enough, and he will be idle when he is idle, so he will simply demonstrate in person.

Not to mention, under the temptation of food and Zong Xiu's personal teaching, the little guy learned to shake hands in just a while.

"Golden Tiger, stretch out your claws."

Zong Xiu stretched out his right hand and put it in front of the golden tiger, and the little guy obediently put his paw in Zong Xiu's palm.

"Look, I'm right. If I have time to teach more in the future, there will be more things in it. ”

Zong Xiu held the golden tiger's fluffy little paws and said proudly.

Yi was even more happy, and happily taught the golden tiger to cross his waist and stand or something.

In the next few days, Zong Xiu has been committed to developing his dream of building a business empire, and every day in addition to teasing the golden tiger, he runs to Jiangjia Village.

Now the whole Jiangjia Village has changed greatly, and thousands of invited craftsmen are building new roads, digging ditches, and building new factories according to the drawings drawn by Zong Xiu.

The latest issue of the newspaper that published "Preparation for the Establishment of the World Association" and "Salary and Benefits" was also sold by the Chai family to the whole country.

Lin De Hall.

Li Shimin went down to the early court, so he ordered a few old buddies to go to the imperial garden.

Since the appearance of Chang'an Weekly, Lao Li and other ministers have the habit of drinking tea and reading newspapers.

They found that their brothers got together to drink tea, read the newspaper, share their experience after reading the 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms', and commented on current affairs more interesting than in the court.

The eunuch on duty in the back garden saw that Li Shimin led more than a dozen princes over, and he was also accustomed to it, so he slipped on the fragrant tea, prepared the newspaper, and waited for Li Shimin and the ministers to sit down.

Li Shimin picked up the newspaper and habitually flipped to the "Current News" section, reading it with relish.

Although he decides what to print in each issue of 'Current News', he still wants to see it.

Sure enough, the above is the same as the content he wants, all of which criticize Tubo and Tuyuhun, use tricky words, speak sharply, and belittle Tubo and Tuyuhun for nothing.

"Well, that's right, so in another half a year, the grievances accumulated by the people are enough, and they can send troops to attack."

Li Shimin smiled with satisfaction, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

He suddenly discovered that the appearance of newspapers was indeed conducive to controlling public opinion and absorbing the hearts of the people.

In the past, he relied on the Holy Decree to convey his will, such as sending troops to war, raising taxes, etc., all by relying on the Holy Decree to convey it.

But the holy decree was indeed a little high-profile, and when the people heard that it was the holy will, although they did not dare to resist, they were somewhat resentful in their hearts.

However, now that there are newspapers, ordinary farmers learn about current affairs from newspapers, and the feeling of doing things is very different from that of listening to orders.

More acceptance!

The most important thing is that the common people did not know that the content printed in the newspaper was determined by the emperor.

What the emperor lets ordinary dealers see, ordinary dealers can see. As long as the words are cleverly used, it is not only easier to be accepted, but also can drive the emotions of the people, which perfectly solves the disadvantages of using holy decrees to oppress the people in the past.

The princes sitting around Lao Li also read the newspapers happily, some read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, some read the poems and songs, and some read the current news.

After reading the latest chapter of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Cheng Yanjin flipped through the newspaper, inadvertently glanced at the advertising area, and suddenly shouted: "Brother Zong, what do you want to do!" Are you really planning to rebel? ”
