As expected by Li Yi and others, the dozen or so angel groups of the imperial court can be described as powerful along the way, Hongnong, Zuo Fengyi, Hedong, Henan Yin...... Before the angels arrived, the news had already spread rapidly.

However, unlike Guo Jia and others who opposed Li Yi's acceptance of the reward and enthronement, the local people were very supportive.

"Lord, now all over the country is talking about this matter, and according to the report, the local people are very supportive of the lord's ascension to the position of Zhao Gong. There were even some people who didn't know where they heard that the lord did not want to accept the public position, and they went to the local officials to petition collectively. Guo Jia looked at Li Yi with a wry smile and reported.

"Nonsense! What a nonsense! Xun Yu smiled bitterly, in addition to saying this, he didn't seem to know how to describe it, could he still blame those people?

Because of the influence of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the title of Duke has always had a very lofty position in the hearts of people all over the world. Even the kind of people who can't read big characters can understand this by word of mouth. Generally speaking, if it were an ordinary person, the people would not pay attention to it at all.

Hearing this, Guo Jia's smile on the side became even more bitter, "Wen Ruo, there are more nonsense." Many people believe that this is a sign of the return of peace in the world, and have held memorial and other celebrations, and some people even think that the lord's current ruling place is in Luoyang, intercepting the frame of the angel, hoping that he can be mentioned above the saint and change the title of the lord to the lord of Zhou......"

"Ahem! Ahem!! As soon as the words fell, a series of violent coughing sounds sounded, and everyone turned their heads to look, and saw Li Yi's face flushed and coughing, with an indescribable embarrassed look on his face.

"Lord, do you want to invite Doctor Hua to take a look?" Seeing this, Guo Jia asked with a playful face.

"Bonghyo!" Xun Yu glared at Guo Jia angrily, but when he was so disrupted, the anger in his heart completely disappeared after being interrupted like this.

At this time, Li Yi also slowly stopped coughing, only to see him shake his head, and sighed in a helpless tone, "I think it's that Zhang Ning's trick, but it's just this week's public ...... Hehe, she's really unscrupulous. ”

Although strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with this statement, because in the past, when Liu Bang was crowned a king and a duke, as long as the fiefdom reached a certain level, the name was canonized according to the name of the country in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. For example, Peng Yue, the king of Liang, is because the fief was in the Liang State in the Spring and Autumn Period in the past. And Luoyang, as the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, seems to be normal to be named the Duke of Zhou.

It's just that the name of Zhou Gong is too special, because for Li Yi and others, Zhou Gong is not so much a name as a person, that is, Ji Dan, who assisted Zhou Wang Ji Fa in establishing the Zhou Dynasty in the past. Because his fiefdom is in Zhou, and he is ranked as the prince, he is respected as the Duke of Zhou.

But the reason why Ji Dan is respected as the Duke of Zhou by the world, even today's people, is not because he helped Ji Fa establish the Zhou Dynasty, but because of the various contributions he made later. Patriarchal system, feudal system, primogeniture system, Ida system...... To summarize it in a sentence in the [Shangshu Great Biography], it is one year to save the chaos, two years to conquer Yin, three years to practice the dying, four years to build the Hou Wei, five years to camp into the Zhou, six years to make the ritual music, and seven years to become the king.

And Jia Yi, the Taifu of the Han Dynasty, gave the highest evaluation to this Duke of Zhou, "Before Confucius, after the Yellow Emperor, there is only one person who has a big relationship with China." ”

It can be said that if Li Yi really dares to call himself Duke Zhou, the others will not talk about it first, just Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others under his command, and even those masters of the Great Dao Academy, will be able to line up to teach Li Yi a lesson, and he will not be the same for a month.

"My lord, this matter must not be left unattended! Otherwise, it ...... the reputation of the lord," Xun Yu said with a serious expression.

"It's just...... After all, the people don't know much about these things, they only do this because they respect and love the lord, if they send someone to punish them......" Guo Jia said with some hesitation.

"That doesn't make it louder and louder! Otherwise, how will the scholars of the world view the lord?! They will not think that it is because the people love the lord very much, and they will not consider whether it is the trick of the demon woman, but they will think that the lord sent someone to instigate it in secret! Xun Yu retorted in a deep voice.

For a while, everyone was discussing how to deal with this matter, but basically, they were more inclined to take those people who spread the news into custody and wait until a while before releasing them.

Hearing everyone's words, Li Yi shook his head and sighed, "Everyone, this method of yours is the real nonsense!" Even if it was because Zhang Ning was secretly instigating, the people would say these words because they respected me. As a result, in order not to cause trouble for myself, I instead held these people who revered me accountable? If I don't want to hear some of the things that come out of the mouths of the scholars in the future, should I also hold them accountable? The world is a big fallacy, but that's it! ”

Hearing this, everyone was silent, obviously shocked by Li Yi's words. After a long while, Xun Yu said in a helpless tone, "The lord loves the people, and the world knows it." It's just that if such remarks are not controlled, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

"It's not control! It's a guide! Li Yi shook his head and said, "The mouth of the people is worse than the defense of Sichuan, and if the river collapses, there will be many injuries, and the people will do the same." It is the one who is the Sichuan, and the one who decides to guide; For the people, declare the words. Speaking of this, Li Yi looked at Xun Yu with a playful gaze and smiled, "Wen Ruo, go back and copy this sentence for me ten times!" Hand it in early tomorrow morning. ”

"Poof!" As soon as Li Yi's words fell, Guo Jia on the side couldn't help laughing. Later, after seeing Xun Yu's bewildered appearance, he couldn't help but cover his stomach and laugh. And although the rest of the people didn't dare to laugh as exaggerated as Guo Jia, they also endured it very hard.

In this regard, Xun Yu could only smile helplessly, "My subordinates have received orders, but I heard the lord say this, have you already taken measures?" In the end, Xun Yu's tone was filled with a hint of doubt, because in his opinion, there was no other way than to control this kind of thing immediately. Steer? Do you want to send a group of officials everywhere to persuade the people to change their minds?

Hearing Xun Yu's words, the rest of the people also looked at Li Yi with puzzled eyes, obviously they couldn't think of any good way to guide the people.

"You guys......" Li Yi shook his head and sighed, "Have you forgotten the purpose of my newspaper in the past?" ”

"Newspaper?" Hearing Li Yi's words, everyone was stunned.

"The lord means to guide the people through newspapers?" Xun Yu looked at Li Yi in surprise and asked, with a hint of disbelief in his tone. Although Li Yi had briefly mentioned this point when he decided to establish the newspaper in the past, the content of the newspapers published by the newspaper had always only taught the people how to read and write, and most of the content was some witty and humorous stories, and some of Li Yi's great achievements were touted.

Over time, most people have forgotten about this new thing, and only Xun Yu and other people in charge of taxation will only see the word newspaper when they check the taxes collected every year. In this case, in their hearts, the newspaper is just a tool to teach the people to read and write, and at the same time enrich the lives of the people and earn money for Li Yi. Not to mention believing.

"That's right, send someone to invite Yanyun here." Li Yi nodded, and then ordered.

After a while, Wang Ling hurried over and said, "Lord! ”

"Hehe, Yanyun, how are you doing at the newspaper these days?" Li Yi asked with a chuckle, but he didn't rush to get to the point.

"Lord Xie cares, everything is going according to plan......" Hearing this, Wang Ling responded respectfully.

Although Wang Ling's attitude was no different from usual, Li Yi was still keenly aware of a trace of dissatisfaction in his tone. "Hehe, Yanyun, don't underestimate the newspaper, in the future, especially after the world is peaceful, its role can far exceed your or even everyone's imagination."

"Subordinates know their mistakes." Hearing Li Yi's words, Wang Ling hurriedly replied. Well, he is indeed a little dissatisfied, because in his opinion, although he is the Sima of the newspaper, every day is nothing more than discussing the content of the newspaper with Changshi Handan Chun. Although he doesn't think he is a great talent, this position is obviously a little wronged by his hard work in his early years.

And Li Yi's attention to the newspaper has not been very high over the years, which makes him naturally feel a little dissatisfied in his heart.

Hearing this, Li Yi didn't say more, because he knew that no matter how much he said now, it would be impossible to change Wang Ling's old impression. The only thing that can be done is to speak with facts.

"Yanyun, I asked you to come this time, but there is one thing entrusted to you, or rather, to the newspaper. It's very, very important, and it can't be done by non-newspapers. Li Yi looked at Wang Ling and said with a smile, and as he spoke, he told Zhou Gong about it.

"What I want the newspaper to do is very simple, which is to revise all the contents of the last few issues of the newspaper to the following. First, Zhang Ning's wolf ambition of the demon woman. Second, the deeds of Zhou Gong. Third, my admiration for Zhou Gong ......" Li Yi kept saying.

Listening to Li Yi's words, Wang Ling's eyes became brighter and brighter, and Xun Yu and the others on the side also changed from indifferent at the beginning to shock. It wasn't until Li Yi finished speaking that Xun Yu couldn't help but exclaim, "In this way, not only can this matter be perfectly resolved, but also the prestige of the lord can be improved again...... It's amazing! ”

And Guo Jia and the others also praised in unison, as for Wang Ling, they looked at Li Yi with a look of shame and a hint of excitement and said loudly, "Please rest assured, the subordinates will do their best to be perfect in this matter, and they will definitely not disappoint the expectations of the lord!" ”

"Well, good job." Li Yi said with a smile when he heard this.

"No!"

Leaving the Wushuang Mansion, Wang Ling hurried back to the newspaper office in three steps and two steps, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted excitedly at Handan Chun, "Uncle Zi, I don't want all the content that was set before, this time, we have to do a big thing!" As he spoke, he repeated Li Yi's words.

Listening to Wang Ling's words, Handan Chun also became excited, although he was appointed as the newspaper Sima because he was good at writing some short stories, but as a scholar, how could he hope that his talent and learning would only be limited to this point?

"This time, we must beat the reputation of the newspaper out! Let those people see, the newspaper is not useless! Wang Ling said with a hint of resentment. Well...... By the way, among the departments that Li Yi has made up, the personnel of the newspaper have always been the most unstable.

Soon, the freshly baked newspaper was rushed to various places, and the effect was very satisfactory to Li Yi. All those who read the newspaper no longer mentioned Li Yi's appointment as Duke of Zhou. At the same time, countless remarks against Zhang Ning's tricks began to spread in the mouths of ordinary people everywhere. Of course, and most importantly, Li Yi's status in the hearts of the people has become higher.

Luoyang, in a restaurant.

"Alas, this Li Yi is not only both civil and military, but also has such whimsical ideas, plus there are countless ministers and fierce generals under his command, and the people of the territory are loyal and respectful...... I'm afraid that in a few years, there will be no one in the world who can compete with it, right? Jia Xu looked at the newspaper in his hand and thought helplessly.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu shook his head, then took out some money and put it on the table, and left with his wife and children.

In the middle of May, the angel group arrived in Luoyang, and Li Yi greeted him according to the due courtesy. It was a long time before the angel read the decree in the Musou Mansion.

"Zhao Gong, take the order...... angel said with a smile.

"Please also ask the angel to return to the saint, this appointment, Ben Hou really can't accept it, and he doesn't dare to accept it!" Li Yi said lightly. "And this marquis is a peerless marquis, but it's not Zhao Gong, angels, please be cautious."

"Zhao Gong ......" Hearing this, the angel wanted to say something, but as soon as he said two words, he saw Li Yi's majestic gaze sweeping over, and for a moment, all the words were blocked in his mouth, but he couldn't spit it out anymore.

Seeing this, Li Yi showed a smile and said, "The angel has worked hard all the way, why don't you rest here for a few days and then go back?" ”

"No, no, no...... Now that the imperial court is in an eventful season, the envoy needs to return to the capital as soon as possible to return to the Holy Lord......" The angel hurriedly shook his head and refused when he heard this.

"Since that's the case, then Ben Hou won't be retained." Li Yi said, exchanged a few more polite words with the angel, and directly sent someone to send him away. When greeting outside, Li Yi still needs to make a show, but in the house, Li Yi is too lazy to pretend. Anyway, in his opinion, this person is just a sycophant who covets wealth and wealth, and there is nothing to be polite.

It's just that it didn't take long to see Lu Wen hurriedly walk in, "Lord, something is wrong!" ”

"Lingqi, didn't I tell you that you are the most taboo to panic when you encounter something? It seems that you still have to have a good experience~" Seeing Lu Wen's panicked appearance, Li Yi couldn't help but smile.

It's just a pity that Lu Wen didn't pay attention to Li Yi's ridicule at all, but said in a panic, "Lord, that angel left by himself after abandoning all those things soon after leaving the city!" ”

"Huh?!"
