The sunset is slanting westward, the remnants of the glow are piece, the beautiful and colorful sunset, for the Yangtze River to smear a layer of red color, the river surface is a little white sail or upstream, or downstream, it seems so lively, at this time the ice and snow in the north and south of the river has melted, the frozen river has thawed, and the river that has been silent for several months is lively again.

And at this embankment, under the willow tree that was just being softened, a scholar was holding a scroll in his hand, standing there carrying an article.

Zi said: "Enough food, foot soldiers, and the trust of the people." Zigong said: "I must go as a last resort, which of the three comes first?" He said, "Go to the soldiers." Zigong said: "I must go as a last resort, which of the two comes first?" He said, "Go and eat." Since ancient times, there have been deaths, and the people have no faith and cannot stand. ”……”

This scholar sometimes memorizes the article, sometimes thinks, his eyebrows are a little heroic, although he is wearing a cloth shirt, but his temperament is not quite the same as that of ordinary scholars, between his feet, there is a faint temperament that does not match his identity.

"Brother Mingli, Brother Mingli!"

While he was carrying the article, a scholar in a coarse cloth coat was hurrying over to the embankment, holding a newspaper in his hand. Shouting and shaking the newspaper in his hand.

"Something's wrong, there's something wrong......"

Yang Weili listened to his friend's shout, then looked back and asked calmly.

"Pengyuan, what makes you so alarmed?"

Looking at his panting friend, Yang Weili smiled on his face.

"Zheng, Zheng Zhilong is back!"

After finally taking a few breaths, Li Muyang said the "big thing" he was referring to.

Zheng Zhilong?

Hearing this name, Yang Weili's brows raised slightly, and his eyes were a little puzzled.

"It is the father of the King of Min, he, he once surrendered to the Qing, no, he came back, not only did he come back, but he also took a city from the hands of the Dutch......"

As soon as Li Muyang said this, Yang Weili finally understood who Zheng Zhilong was in his mouth, how could this Zheng Zhilong just be as simple as descending to the Qing, he was simply ......

"Such a traitor, how can there be a return?"

A smile rose, and Yang Weili's voice became cold and a little annoyed.

"If it weren't for his Zheng Zhilong to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, how could my Ming Dynasty be like this, if it wasn't for his own selfishness, leading the troops to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and almost ruining my Ming Dynasty, how could the King of Min and other people with lofty ideals use more than ten years of work to succeed in the Northern Expedition and recover the Southern Capital? Such a thief, how can he return to the Ming Dynasty! ”

Annoyed between the words, Yang Weili said even more coldly.

"I didn't expect him to come back alive, so where will he put the King of Min?"

The reason why he said this was because as soon as he learned the news, he had already seen that after Zheng Zhilong came back, the most difficult thing to do was Zheng Chenggong, as a son, he couldn't kill his father, even if it was a righteous annihilation, but as the king of Min in the Ming Dynasty, everyone in the world was watching him.

"Isn't that the case, this person is really unscrupulous!"

Li Muyang immediately nodded in agreement, and there was also some excitement in his tone.

"Not only the King of Fujian, but also the King of Huai, now it is also very difficult to do, the King of Min and the King of Huai are all rare loyal people, but they have become such elders, it is really ...... It's really unfair......"

When mentioning "God's injustice", Li Muyang deliberately glanced at the friend in front of him, although the friend in front of him seems to be down-and-out now, but in fact, he is the founding minister of the Ming Dynasty, after he showed his martial arts and Yang Xin, his father Yang Chongyou hanged himself when he broke into Beijing, and he also went from a famous son to the street, all the way to Jiangnan, and came to Nanjing. However, he disdained to ask the court for yesterday's property like other lords, and although his father was one of the few people in the Ming Dynasty, he still stubbornly insisted on not causing trouble to the court, but only tried to change his family's poor life by making a name for himself one day. For this choice of his friend, Li Muyang is naturally extremely envious, and in his heart he also knows that he treats his friend as an official in the court, and people know that his father is a martial artist who hangs himself for the country, and he will definitely treat him differently, and it is only a matter of time before he is appreciated by the emperor and reused by the court, whether it is a utilitarian heart or a friend's affection, Li Muyang has always taken good care of him, and he has a wealthy family, and he is even more of a grain and silver money from time to time to help, which makes Yang Weili able to concentrate on articles without worries.

"God is indeed unfair, thinking about how loyal the two kings of Min and Huai are, they have become such elders, God is really blind!"

When Yang Weili sighed at God's injustice, he sneered.

"Then Zheng Zhilong really doesn't have the slightest conscience, if he has a little conscience, he should have died directly in the sea, how could he add such trouble to the King of Min and the King of Huai?"

Troublesome!

It's more than a nuisance!

Everyone knows what kind of problem the two kings of Min Huai are facing now, for them, no matter what, it is impossible to withdraw from this matter, if they agree to the court to punish Zheng Zhilong according to the law of the country, it will be a human tragedy of father and son cannibalism, and since then, how can the two face their families. And if they want to protect Zheng Zhilong and protect him for the heinous crimes he has committed, if they shelter him, then how can the people of the world believe in the two of them in the future?

The two kings who are in a dilemma, in the face of such troubles, I am afraid they will be very distressed, not to mention, now this matter is known to the world.

"Hey, this newspaper actually got the news so quickly, how will the two kings of Min and Huai deal with themselves in the future this time, especially now that this matter is known to the world......"

"But no, not only this "Nandu Daily", but even some tabloids have also gotten the news, and they have reported this matter on the front page, look, these newspapers are full of shouts and killings, and even suggested that the King of Min kill his relatives in righteousness, if it is their father, will they kill their relatives so righteously?"

Pointing to a comment in the newspaper, Li Muyang's tone seemed a little impatient, but it was not because of Zheng Zhilong, but because of the "generous statements" of those people.

"What? You're saying all the newspapers covered it? ”

Yang Weili looked at his friend in surprise, his brows suddenly locked, and he vaguely seemed to feel a hint of conspiracy.

There are a lot of newspapers in Nanjing!

Although at the beginning, Nanjing only had one copy of Jiangbei's "Ming Pao", but because everyone saw the interests in the "Ming Pao", so soon "Nandu Daily", "Shilin Daily", "Gazette" and other large and small newspapers sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, these newspapers are large and small, but their existence has enriched people's vision, so that the newspaper this new affair quickly spread in Jiangnan, and also let the scholars have a place to discuss the government, they either use a pen name or use their real name to publish articles in the newspaper to comment on the governmentSupporters and opponents debated in the newspapers, and in this debate, many issues were debated clearly, and the people learned a lot about the merits and demerits from this debate.

As a scholar, Yang Weili naturally needs to pay attention to the articles in the newspaper, since it is to prepare for the future imperial examination, it is also to understand the government and politics. But now that his friend had mentioned that all the newspapers had reported the "news", he immediately realized that the matter might not be as simple as it seemed.

"Newspapers need big news!"

Yang Weili suddenly said that although newspapers have only just appeared in China, they tend to compete for all kinds of big news in order to increase sales.

"Zheng Zhilong's return to China, this is naturally big news, but this matter has spread here so quickly, it is inevitable that it is too fast, and it has been reported by all newspapers, this is ......"

Looking up and looking at Jiangbei, Yang Weili sighed.

"If the younger brother is not bad, someone must want to use this matter to attack the two kings of Min and Huai, if it succeeds, I am afraid that he will be in turmoil again!"

"Ah......h

Li Muyang was surprised, and then said.

"Then, Mingli, if not, you will write an article and send it to the newspaper?"

The reason why he said this is because Yang Weili has written many articles in the newspaper commenting on current affairs, and he has been deeply appreciated by the people of the time, and even Qian Muzhai and others have praised his articles. It's going to be as desolate as it is now.

"Me?"

Shaking his head, Yang Weili sighed.

"I can't meddle in this matter, the two kings of Fujian and Huai have a great contribution to the Ming Dynasty, not the two kings, the Ming Dynasty cannot be prosperous, and Zheng Zhilong is deeply guilty, according to the national law, not killing is not enough to anger the people, the national law, on the one hand, on the other, is the pass, how to deal with it? Besides, this kind of turmoil is deliberately done by others, and the younger brother intervenes in this matter, isn't it taking advantage of the hearts of others to be used by others? ”

After such a long sigh, Yang Weili's eyes turned into the distance, his eyes stared ahead, his expression became more and more serious, if this matter did not involve the two kings of Min and Huai, perhaps, he would be like other scholars, to the newspaper to comment on it, but now that he has seen that this matter is not so simple, he is naturally unwilling to get involved, this is not for self-preservation, but because he is unwilling to become a tool for others to attack the two kings of Fujian and Huai.

"Mingli, actually, if that's the case, I'm afraid that everyone won't be able to write an article about it, and when the turmoil calms down, maybe people will forget about it......"

The friend's answer made Yang Weili just shake his head and smile bitterly.

"The newspapers in this world, most of them are afraid that there will be no big news, even if no one writes it, they will write it themselves, in order to increase the sales of the newspaper through this big news, in business, this newspaper always needs advertising money, and where does the advertising money come from, it is the circulation, the larger the circulation, the higher the advertising cost, and naturally the more money will be made, so they need big news, no matter what, they will not give up this news, as for those scholars, ......"

Looking back at the southern capital, looking at the southern capital that has completely restored yesterday's prosperity, once upon a time, the city was full of red land, and now, it has long been very lively, together with the Qinhuai River, has also completely restored yesterday's prosperity, scholars from the north and south of the river, once again lingering on the Qinhuai River, and once again immersed in the fat powder, this is Jiangnan, is the Jiangnan in people's mouths, as for those scholars, naturally they are the romantic talents in people's mouths.

"Those who want to be famous, and there are thousands, if you can take advantage of this matter to become famous, it is to go to the Qinhuai River, maybe the women in that square will not take a penny......"

There was a hint of mockery in his tone, but his expression was full of solemnity, as a scholar, Yang Weili knew the thoughts of scholars, but everyone in the world was nothing more than a good name, or a good fortune, or a lustful person.

Everyone in the world says that "wealth is moving", but there are a few words that confuse people's hearts! ”

With a long sigh, Yang Weili looked at Nandu and said with a wry smile.

"People in this world will always be burdened by fame......"

As Yang Weili guessed, there are not many people in Shilin who are trying to become famous in one fell swoop, among them there are not only scholars who have been famous for a long time, but also many scholars who are as poor as him, in the southern capital, I don't know how many poor scholars from all over the world, and live here for a long time, they try to make friends here, comment on each other's articles, and want to be able to get the appreciation of a certain senior member of the court, and then be able to enter the court as an official, and from then on, they will glorify their ancestors, in the past, they naturally will not think about this recommended way, just thinking about the right way to take the imperial examination.

But now, for these scholars, when they see the officials under the command of the Min Prince's Mansion, the Huai Wang's Mansion and the Ministry of War's Shangshu Zhang Huangyan, they are all looking forward to the day when their talents and learning will be known by others, and then they will become officials in the court.

Of course, most of them think that they have a little talent, and they often even have a feeling that they have not met talents, and it is this kind of person who will always become more and more radical. Like most poor scholars, Zhao Mingqi, who is nearly forty years old, has always wanted to be able to enter the court as an official, but in his opinion, what he lacks is just an opportunity, an opportunity to be appreciated by others, and to realize that he is also full of talent and learning.

"It's an opportunity......

Placed next to the roadside bookstore, staring at the contents of the newspaper, he didn't even have the money to buy a newspaper, he memorized all the contents of the newspaper by heart, and the more he looked at the contents of the newspaper, the more excited he felt, this was the time he needed.

"That's right, that's right......"

The more he looked at the content of the newspaper, the more Zhao Mingqi felt that his idea was correct, the more he felt that this was the time he needed, and even in his mind, an article, not a few articles, had already taken shape, and even he had already thought that these articles should be submitted to those newspapers, and when the time came, when the world talked about his articles, wouldn't it be the time for him to become famous all over the world, and when the time came, why not be appreciated by others, and how could he not be as talented as now......
