Zhulu Hou Mansion.

Li Mu lay on the bed, opened his mouth to eat the porridge fed by Bai Qiaoqiao, looking like an uncle. Hearing that he had been assassinated, there was an endless stream of people who came to visit this morning, and needless to say, the subordinate officials of the Ministry of Industry wished that there was an excuse to come to the door to give gifts, and even his immediate boss, Li Daliang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, also came to visit. There are also Li Ji, Bai Hao'er, Tang Jian and others, needless to say, the old lady Sun's family arrived early in the morning, and after crying for more than an hour, Li Mu comforted him before coaxing.

After noon, Li Mu had time to eat. The buttocks were injured and it was inconvenient to get up, so Li Mu was coquettish with Bai Qiaoqiao, and he couldn't get up in bed, so he asked Bai Qiaoqiao to blow the porridge cold and feed him. Bai Qiaoqiao couldn't do anything about him, just like coaxing a child, blowing and feeding. Li Mu's hands and feet are not honest, touch here, touch there, Bai Qiaoqiao's cheeks turn red, and he can't help him, a bowl of porridge has been fed for almost half an hour, and it is almost cold and has not finished eating.

"Master, Madam, Your Majesty is here...... Yikes! Li Zhien hurriedly ran in to report, and when he saw the crooked scene of the two of them, he quickly covered his eyes, but the fingers were so wide apart, obviously he could still see everything, and the act of covering his ears and stealing the bell directly made Bai Qiaoqiao into a big red face.

"Don't make a fuss, let Your Majesty see what it looks like." Bai Qiaoqiao handed the porridge bowl to Li Zhien, broke free of Li Mu's hand, helped him stuff it back into the quilt, tidied up his clothes again, and then came to the outhouse to greet Li Shimin.

After a while, Li Shimin arrived, and the eldest grandson Wuji naturally followed him. Li Mu saw the two of them, and tried hard to support his body with his arms and wanted to get up, but he had no choice but to 'lose his strength', fell on the bed again, coughed, and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers can't give full courtesy, uncle, take care of ......."

Li Shimin hurriedly came over to help him and said, "Where did Aiqing come from, I heard that Aiqing was assassinated, and I was anxious, and after dealing with the government, I rushed over to visit." Aiqing, is the injury serious? ”

"Your Majesty......" Li Mu burst into tears, pointed to the injured place, and said with a bitter face: "The thief is vicious, throwing a dagger and stabbing the minister's buttocks, the injury is not serious, but it is too embarrassing......"

"Butt, ass?" Li Shimin glanced at the place where Li Mu pointed out, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help laughing, and said: "Your Majesty and I have read the 'Datang Daily', and it doesn't say where you were injured, and I really don't know that the injured place is the buttocks." ”

Li Mu sighed and told the situation of the day. He is a person who grew up listening to the "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" and "The Legend of the Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", and when he talks about the story, he naturally brings the meaning of the commentary, compared with the paper description in the Datang Daily, it is naturally much more detailed and exciting, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji both listened attentively, as if they were on the spot. The eldest grandson Wuji is a civil official and does not know much about martial arts, but Li Shimin is the emperor immediately, and he knows more about the dangers, and after listening to it, he sighed again and again: "As Aiqing said, these four gangsters must be good at the art of joint attack, and the three of them can't strike a blow, and there is a fourth person to make up the knife." If it weren't for the courage of your guards and the help of someone, Aiqing would be in danger. ”

Li Mu sighed: "Isn't it, Your Majesty, the minister will almost never see Your Majesty again!" The minister was determined to fight to the end against the mastermind behind the scenes, and in a hurry, without asking His Majesty for instructions, he privately published the Datang Daily, and asked His Majesty to forgive his sins. ”

"I understand." Li Shimin nodded, and at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji took out a Datang Daily from his arms and handed it to Li Shimin, Li Shimin handed it to Li Mu and said: "Aiqing, I am also the first time I have seen this kind of thing, there are some things that are not clear, and I hope Aiqing will solve my doubts." ”

"Ah, Your Majesty, if you have something to ask, the minister should know everything...... It's just that, Your Majesty, can you not call Chen Aiqing, the minister is a little unaccustomed. You can call the minister by his name or by his 'boy' as usual. ”

"Heh, you've provoked my trouble." Li Shimin snorted and said, "Isn't this because you have been crowned an adult, so you call Aiqing to show respect?" Do you want me to call your cousin 'free'? I still feel awkward, and I don't know what my father thinks, but he even gave you the word 'free' as a table, and I can't be free as an emperor, but you got it first. ”

Li Mu smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, what kind of freedom does the minister have, if the minister has to be free, can he hit the dagger in his butt." If you feel awkward, you can still call Li Mu Cheng. ”

"I'm too lazy to argue with you about this, I've come to ask you. In Chang'an City today, how many copies of this Datang Daily have you sent? ”

"The minister doesn't know very well, about 11,200 or so."

The eldest grandson Wuji asked, "More than a thousand, only printed last night?" ”

"Yes, the assassination of the minister happened yesterday, and this newspaper was naturally published last night."

"Newspapers?"

Li Mu almost forgot that Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji had never heard of the 'newspaper', and quickly explained: "The newspaper is the name chosen by the minister himself, which means that the notice on the paper is known to the people. Referred to as newspaper, Datang Daily means that the major events that happen in Datang every day are reported to the people. ”

Li Shimin asked again: "How many people did this newspaper use to print more than 1,000 sheets in one night?" ”

Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "Two groups of people change shifts, one group is about six or seven people, twelve or thirteen people." Speaking of this, Li Mu probably understood what Li Shimin wanted to know, and said, "Your Majesty, when it is actually printed, the speed is much faster than this. Last night, the ministers were improvised, and the subordinates in the house were not skilled. When it comes to printing, training in advance can improve efficiency by at least three times. ”

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and said: "Li Mu, do you know how the ministers talk about the 'Datang Daily' in the court today?" ”

"How to talk about it?" Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Isn't there anyone who thinks that this Datang Daily will produce any hidden dangers and ......?"

"Yes!" Li Shimin nodded and said: "Today, many ministers said that this Datang Daily spread all over Chang'an overnight, and the major affairs of the DPRK and China were made public to the people, which would cause social unrest, and if it continued for a long time, it would inevitably cause turmoil, and I asked me to order a ban." ”

Li Mu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the person who said such a thing is a man with a small eye. They don't understand the minister's plan at all, could it be that the minister abolished such a big Zhou Zhang, just to vent his anger? ”

Li Shimin and eldest grandson Wuji were speechless, but their eyes had already expressed their meaning: Isn't it?

Li Mu was angry for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister does have the intention of venting his anger. But the minister is not only to vent his anger, everything the minister does is for the people, for His Majesty, and for the Tang Dynasty! ”
