All the evidence indirectly proves that it was Du Chuke who forced Helan Chushi to die, but Du Chuke could not exonerate himself.

"Someone! Put Du Chuke in the prison!" His Majesty Li Er ordered Du Chuke to be imprisoned in the prison.

The forbidden army guarding outside the hall immediately rushed in and took Du Chuke down.

Next is the verdict of Du Chuke.

Li Chengqian got up and said goodbye and left, and he no longer needed to participate in the next thing, Du Chuke forced Helan Chushi to death, and framed him, the prince, and the only end was death.

Li Chengqian, who returned to the East Palace, did not wait for the news that Du Chuke was sentenced to death, but waited for the angry Hou Junji.

Li Chengqian didn't understand why Hou Junji was angry.

"Chen Guogong, what's wrong? Such a big fire? Li Chengqian asked suspiciously.

"The prince doesn't know yet! What was the circumstance of Du Chuke's conviction? Hou Jun said.

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, according to Du Chuke's crime, whether it was slandering him as a prince or giving Hou Junji an explanation, Du Chuke would have to die, but looking at Hou Junji's expression, things should not be so simple.

"Chen Guogong! But something went wrong. Li Chengqian felt that things were not so simple.

"Your Majesty originally wanted to sentence Du Chuke to death, give him three feet of white silk, and leave him a whole corpse, who would have thought that several Shandong Confucians, who were good friends with Du Chuke, actually called on the people of Shilin to be lenient on Du Chuke."

"And that's not all! The five surnamed Qiwang were also mixed in, and with their influence, they put pressure on His Majesty, and His Majesty had to change the original sentence, and it was the exile of Du Chuke and his imprisonment for life. Hou Jun said.

Li Chengqian was also very angry after hearing this, these clans are full of food, and even such things have to be interfered indiscriminately.

These families relied on their influence to attract public opinion, and used this public opinion to exert pressure on the imperial court, so as to achieve their own goals.

"How can they get involved?" Li Chengqian really didn't understand, the big family has always paid attention to the interests between them, and it stands to reason that they should not be involved in the Du Chuke incident.

"I heard that it was King Wei who personally came forward to ask these Shandong Confucians to help intercede! That's why that's what happens. Hou Jun said.

Li Tai has always loved to learn, and he has the best academic performance among their three brothers, and he is a good student in the eyes of his teacher.

Li Tai has always been close to these Confucians, and Li Tai went to lobby the Confucians, and it made sense.

"Are all the people with the five surnames and seven hopes involved?" Li Chengqian said.

"No, only some side branches of the Lu family have joined it." Hou Jun Jidao.

Li Chengqian nodded, at the beginning, Lu Shou of the Lu clan openly provoked the imperial power and was ordered to be executed by His Majesty Li Er, and Lu Shou's disciples have always been dissatisfied with this.

I want to come this time to be behind the scenes.

From this incident, we can see the importance of public opinion, and at the same time, it also shows that His Majesty Li Er is old.

There was less killing in his heart, more nostalgia, remembering Du Ruhui's merits, exempting Du Chuke from the death penalty, but only sentencing him to exile and life imprisonment.

If it were His Majesty Li Er when he was young, where would he pay attention to these people, re-sentence Du Chuke, and kill him directly.

After Li Chengqian calmed Hou Junji's emotions, Hou Junji got up and left, as the secretary of the military department, he was not suitable to stay in the East Palace for a long time.

Public opinion is like a sharp sword, if it is applied properly, it will be able to be invincible and look at it! On the contrary, it will hurt itself.

In order to be able to weaken the influence of the five surnames and seven hopes, it is necessary to strengthen one's grasp of public opinion, and in the future, even lead to the trend of public opinion.

Li Chengqian first thought of the newspaper as a useful tool.

When it comes to running a newspaper, we must first solve the problem of printing.

The printing technique that appeared in the early Tang Dynasty was engraving on wooden boards, which was mainly used to print Buddhist scriptures and almanacs.

Ordinary books are still copied by hand, and it is certainly not possible to run a newspaper in this way.

Therefore, the matter of printing must be solved in advance, so that the newspaper can be successfully handled.

Fortunately, Li Chengqian was not overwhelmed by this, and the movable type printing technology of the Song Dynasty was much stronger than that of the Tang Dynasty, and it was also much more advanced.

There are obvious defects in engraving printing, first, the stereotype is time-consuming, labor-intensive and material-intensive, and second, a large number of book plates are conducive to storage; Third, once the engraving is successful, there are typos that are not easy to correct.

In this respect, movable type printing improves on these shortcomings and makes it more flexible and easy to use.

However, this material must be carefully considered, Li Chengqian thought twice, from the cost point of view, or clay type is more economical.

Thinking of it, he did it, and Li Chengqian immediately asked Wang Quan to find some craftsmen to come to the East Palace.

"See Your Highness!" Wang Quan led the craftsmen to salute Li Chengqian.

"There's something you need to do!" Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness's orders are yes!" Craftsman Road.

"I want you to use cement to make blanks of the same specifications," Li Chengqian told the craftsmen about the details ......of making clay movable type.

"You will make it for me today, according to the method I said."

"Your Highness! We have never been exposed to this thing you said, we don't know how to operate it, I'm afraid we can't do it in one day, and we still need to try it before we know how to start. The craftsman looked embarrassed.

Li Chengqian said it lightly, but after all, this is the first time they have heard of this clay type, and they have never done this kind of work.

I don't know how to do it, everything else is secondary, and the most important thing is the heat.

Blindly throw the finished model into the work, in case the fire is too strong, there is a possibility that these things will be damaged.

If this heat is too small, it may not be able to achieve the effect that Li Chengqian wants, and then there will be no use for printing.

Li Chengqian also felt that it made sense when he thought about it, everything was done by him in a hurry! The specific operation of clay movable type still needs to be practiced by these people in order to produce results.

Fortunately, with the method provided by Li Chengqian, it is much more convenient and easier to manufacture.

"Then change it tomorrow, no matter what method you use, anyway! Tomorrow the widow must see the results. ”

"If you do this errand! There is a reward for the outnumbered! If it is done badly, the widow will not be spared!" Li Chengqian said.

Movable type printing was very important to Li Chengqian.

"The little one understands! Please rest assured! Tomorrow I promise to give His Highness a set of clay characters. "The craftsman said.

After getting the craftsman's packing ticket, Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction, and after repeated instructions, the craftsman said goodbye and left.

The problem of movable type printing was solved, and the next step was to bring paper, and Li Chengqian began to typeset the first newspaper of the Tang Dynasty.
