Chapter 472: Ulterior Motives
Majestic, domineering, wise and martial, tall and majestic, before crossing over, Tang Ning's impression ......of the emperor was like this.
After the crossing, Emperor Chen completely overthrew his perception of feudal emperors.
Greedy for money, stingy, cunning, it seems to be affectionate, but when necessary, it will be cold-blooded and ruthless, and the emperor is ruthless, it is said that the heavenly family has no family affection, and it is normal for fathers, sons and brothers to cut each other around, but as an emperor, he is so stingy that he sends a newspaper to the major officials in Beijing every day, and never mentions the remuneration, which is a bit too much.
His actions are not even cunning and plundering, they are simply naked plundering.
Tang Ning was much more generous than Emperor Chen, and after condemning it in his heart for a while, he didn't care about the few pennies.
This time is too busy, and now it is hard to be free, and the New Year is coming soon, he plans to put down his work first and take time to accompany Xiaoru Xiaoyi.
Originally, I said that I would go out with them today, but just after I walked out of the house, my father-in-law and mother-in-law suddenly came to visit, and I had to turn back.
Su Ru liked to accompany Chen Yuxian in the room to talk, Zhong Mingli walked up to Tang Ning, took out an object from his sleeve, handed it to Tang Ning, and said, "The newspaper printed by Tang Renzhai was instructed by you?" ”
Tang Ning nodded, in the era of great lack of entertainment, the transmission of news is very slow, one is by mouth, the other is by the announcement of the government, after the outbreak of new media in later generations, newspapers have been almost abandoned, but here, it is still a very advanced thing.
Zhong Mingli looked at him and said, "I have also read the newspapers of the past few days, and there is nothing else, but in the face of state affairs and court officials, I should try not to write any more, so as not to blame the court." ”
Tang Ning knew that although newspapers were still a new product in this era, they were closely related to public opinion, and if they were written too much, the imperial court would inevitably not sit idly by.
Therefore, he is extremely strict in censoring the content of his daily publications, striving to be politically correct, not touching the red line, and how to grasp the scale, which also has a lot of knowledge.
Otherwise, if the hat of the imperial court is in vain to discuss state affairs and discuss the official of the imperial court, the Jingshi Daily, which has just developed, will be nip in the bud.
Tang Ning looked at Zhong Mingli and said, "Don't worry about your father-in-law, Your Majesty has already issued an edict to let Tang Renzhai send a newspaper to the major officials every day, and I will grasp the scale of this." ”
"If only you had a good idea." Even His Majesty agreed, Zhong Mingli also relieved his heart when he heard this, and said: "You are busy, I will go to Lao Tang to play two games of chess......"
……
Tang Ren Zhai.
Early in the morning, the stall owner of the early stall had just set up his stall, so he walked to the door of Tang Renzhai, threw over a copper coin, and said, "Man, have a newspaper." ”
The price of newspapers in Tang Renzhai is low, you can buy it with a copper coin, and a copper coin can only buy half a meat bun and a small half pot of tea, which is used to buy a newspaper, look at current affairs, and understand the private life of those nobles, and many people are willing.
The guy took the money and handed over a newspaper, and the stall owner handed it to a diner at the stall and said, "I can't read, help me read it, you won't be charged for this bowl of noodles." ”
The shabby Confucian student at the stall took the newspaper and was happy to make the deal, eating and reading the newspaper at the same time.
After reading it, he spoke: "The newspaper said that the New Year Festival is approaching, and this year, since the 28th of the lunar month, the ...... of the curfew will be lifted in Beijing. ”
"I was able to sell a few more bowls of noodles before that year, and the business in the night market was very ......good," the vendor muttered, and asked, "What else?" ”
"There are also anecdotes of several adults in the court, which says that Lord Li used to be in the Ministry of Water, and when he was ordered to relieve the disaster, he always rushed to the front, and twice he was washed away by the flood, and he almost died ......, it is said that the people of Runzhou erected a statue of Lord Li on the embankment in order to show their gratitude to Lord Li."
The peddler said: "Lord Li is really a model for hundreds of officials, if the court and the central government are all officials like Lord Li, the people will have a good life, ...... what else is written on it?" ”
"The son of Liu Feng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, got into a fight with someone a few days ago and was arrested in the county government, and the Ping'an County government reminded the magnates in Beijing that the New Year is approaching, and they must restrain their own children......"
The vendor who sold the breakfast shook his head and said, "One Lord Li, one Lord Liu, you said that these are all officials, why is the gap between officials and officials so big?" ”
The shabby Confucian put the newspaper away and asked, "Can you give me this paper?" ”
The peddler waved his hand and said, "Take it." ”
The shabby Confucian gave his hand in thanks, got up and left, walked along the street, and soon came to an official office, and walked in.
He walked to a certain office, knocked on the door and entered, and said: "Lord Zhongcheng, the newspaper of Tang Renzhai has been read by the lower officials, and it is still decent, and there is no excessive discussion of state affairs, but there are some discussions about the officials of the DPRK and China......"
Yu Shi Zhongcheng stood up, waved his hand, and said: "No need to check, Your Majesty has just issued an order, all the major officials in Beijing must read the newspapers of Tang Renzhai, you arrange it, let people pick up a few copies every day." ”
The imperial historian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded and said, "Xiaguan will arrange it." ”
Yu Shi Zhongcheng reopened the newspaper, and after reading it, he muttered: "Liu Feng, Li Yan ......"
What is the situation in the mansions of those powerful officials in Beijing, the people have their own opinions, some praise and some disparagement, but it is limited to secret, this Tang Renzhai newspaper is not shy about it at all, talking about this, quite casually, but also the scale is very accurate, only stating the facts, not commenting.
There is no doubt that if a name appears on it, whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, it will be known to all over Beijing in a very short time.
Whether His Majesty's will also has the intention of urging hundreds of officials remains to be figured out......
Officials.
Fang Hong put a piece of paper on the table, looked at an old man and said, "Lord Zhou, this is the list reported by various ministries, there are ten people in total, if there is no problem, it should be sent to Your Majesty tomorrow." ”
Although the Ministry of Officials is responsible for the promotion and assessment of officials, senior officials like a squire only have the right to nominate but not to decide, and the final candidate still needs to be determined by the emperor.
Zhou Shangshu picked up the paper and looked at it, and said, "It seems that the right waiter this time is between Liu Feng and Li Yan......"
As if thinking of something, he shook his head and said: "Although Li Yan's political achievements over the years have been mediocre, there is no stain, and the family style of Liu Shilang in the Ministry of Rites is a little bad......"
The family style is not strict, and the children are not strict, which is a problem that many families in Beijing have, but like Liu Feng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is taken out as a typical example, but it is rare, not to mention that His Majesty issued an order, and the newspaper of Tang Renzhai is a must-read for officials in Beijing, I am afraid that Liu Shilang's family style is not strict, everyone knows about it......
He picked up a piece of music, transcribed the names of the ten people, and when he put down the pen, he thought about it for a while, and wrote the name of Li Yan, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, in the first place.
The Liu family.
Liu Feng looked at the newspaper in his hand, his face was ugly, at the critical moment when he and Li Yan, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, were fighting for the right waiter of the Ministry of Works, this newspaper praised Li Yan as a model official, and instead wrote the incident of Liu Li's fight and arrest on it, which clearly had another purpose.
Compared with the two, doesn't it mean that he is inferior to Li Yan of the Ministry of Industry?
He did everything he could, but he still missed this rebel, slapped his son angrily, and said angrily: "I have long asked you to be honest, who let you fight!" ”
Liu Li covered his head, looked aggrieved, and said: "It's none of my business, it was Ling Feng who did it first, and I was beaten......"
Liu Feng said loudly: "If you don't provoke them, will they provoke you?" ”
"I really didn't provoke them...... Liu Li defended: "It was they who wanted to trouble Tang Zhao, Tang Zhao ran away, and they were angry with me......"
Liu Feng frowned and said, "What does it matter to you that they are looking for trouble with Tang Zhao?" ”
Liu Li looked at him resentfully and asked, "Why are they looking for me, Dad, don't you really know?" ”
