Zhang Siwei's brows were tightly locked, the reason why he was willing to win over Gu Xiancheng was his identity as the editor-in-chief of "Ming Pao" - it seems that Gu Xiancheng also knew his value, he didn't come to the door early or late, and he came to the door as soon as he was removed from the post of editor-in-chief. Panic is naturally there, and it means more, I'm afraid it's better to test the old man, right?

But now is not the time to pursue this issue, the most important thing is to find out whether Zhang You's move is casual or has other meanings.

"What did Zhang You tell you?" Zhang Siwei asked in a deep voice.

"Looking back at Lord Fu, this is this afternoon's matter, not only did he send someone to call the lowly post to the newspaper, Shen Wan'er, Zhang Jialin, Zhang Ruoxuan and the three of them were also there, but he didn't feel that he was unhappy, but he just introduced Li Zhen to us, and then said that he was too busy with the lowly job, and wanted to be wronged by the lowly position, so he handed over the position of editor-in-chief to Li Zhen, the newspaper is all owned by others, and the lowly post naturally has nothing to say......"

"I've heard of Li Zhen," Yan Qing said: "After this person was lifted, he was ingenious and peddled what kind ......of "Zhongju Treasure Book" outward, not to mention, this guy is really a bit clever, anyone who buys his treasure book and is familiar with reporters, at least seven out of ten can be lifted."

"I've also heard about this, I don't know how he can guess the exam questions, it is said that at the beginning, there were five hundred sample essays in the treasure book, aiming at all kinds of possible exam questions, and then decreasing according to the term, by the time he became an official, one hundred and fifty articles were enough."

Zhang Siwei said, paused and said: "A few days ago, I heard Cao Limin say that he came to Beijing and returned to his old business, although he did not sell the treasure book, but he opened a class to teach, and when I saw him worried, I still listened to it as a joke, I didn't want this person to change, so I actually took refuge in Zhang You and became the editor-in-chief of "Ming Pao". ”

"Mr. doesn't know that Geng Mingyuan, who was named by His Majesty, bravely entered the demon cave and used the blood book to deliver the news, and it was this Li Zhen who sent it to Zhang You." Gu Xiancheng explained.

Wei Yunzhen also nodded in agreement: "That's right, I was still wondering about his identity at first, and then I inquired about it." "The red-robed official who held the Jingmen at the beginning was naturally him, and he had a good memory, so he wrote down Zhang You's words word for word.

Yan Qing stroked his beard and said: "In this way, it is Zhang You who has been rewarded for his meritorious deeds, although you 'took the initiative' to remind Zhang You to pay attention to the situation, in his mind, after all, that article was authorized by you to be published, so naturally you should be punished slightly, but it does not necessarily mean that you no longer trust you." ”

Gu Xiancheng smiled bitterly: "I hope that things are really as the ministry said, but those women haven't given a good face to the lowly position in the past few days, if it weren't for Zhang You's pressure, they would have to get the lowly out of the newspaper." ”

"This shows that Zhang You still trusts you...... As for those women, one is his fiancée, the other is his sister, and the other is a confidante, that article hurt him so badly, naturally he wants to hate you, don't be like them, show weakness, Zhang You looked guilty, and naturally he would not suspect you. ”

Zhang Siwei has roughly guessed the truth of the matter, and after analyzing it, he can't help but make a few suggestions - don't look at Zhang You without a title, but he still regards him as his biggest enemy, even if Gu Xiancheng is no longer the editor-in-chief, just an internal response is worth a literary anthology.

"Lord Yuanfu, I suddenly have an idea about my humble position, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" Gu Xiancheng had been pondering, and suddenly said at this moment.

"If you have an idea, say it, who doesn't gag your mouth." Zhang Siwei said unceremoniously.

In fact, most of the time, you're welcome is the real intimacy, so above the officialdom, the more ruthless the one who is often scolded by his superiors, the faster he will rise.

Gu Xiancheng was a little flattered, and said: "I am thinking about it, there is actually no precedent for the people to start a newspaper, Zhang Youzheng was favored in the past, and there was a long live lord to protect him, we naturally have nothing to do with him, now the long live lord is angry, if we propose to return the "Ming Pao" to the imperial court, I don't know if the long live lord will agree?" ”

In fact, everyone didn't know that the relationship between Zhang You and Zhu Yijun was not a relationship between a favored minister and a monarch's father at all, but a brotherhood similar to an equal relationship, because it was unimaginable for them, so when they heard Gu Xiancheng say this, several people's eyes lit up at the same time.

Wei Yunzhen first agreed: "Good idea, sir, don't underestimate "Ming Pao", the students have calculated, one edition in the morning and one in the evening, tens of thousands of copies can be sold every day, although the money can't make much, but the influence is too great, especially in the people, another year and a half of development, it will definitely be able to completely influence the direction of public opinion." ”

"That's right, I thought I could give it a try." Yan Qing also said.

So everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Siwei's face, Zhang Siwei pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "It's okay to give it a try, anyway, the ready-made editor-in-chief is not afraid that no one will manage it, just the same, in case this move provokes His Majesty's dissatisfaction, it will be self-defeating." ”

Yan Qing's personality is relatively straight, there are no twists and turns in his mind, and when he heard the words, he said, "What's the dissatisfaction?" If it weren't for Li Wenjin's face this time, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as simple as removing the title......"

"You are wrong about public hope, you still don't know our majesty, maybe he really got angry with Zhang You in this incident, but I dare to guarantee that our move to impeach Zhang You will definitely make him very unhappy......"

"Why?" Yan Qing asked puzzled, and Wei Yunzhen and Gu Xiancheng also pricked up their ears.

"It's very simple, just like your child, no matter how disobedient you are, it's okay for you to hit him and scold him, but if someone else comes forward, even if you accuse him twice, you will not be happy. In the same way, you have already been beaten, if someone else accuses you, what will you do? ”

"This ...... I see, what Brother Ziwei means is that if we push too hard, Your Majesty may turn his anger on us, right? Yan Qing suddenly realized.

"Exactly!"

Gu Xiancheng was like an initiation, secretly admired, and said in his heart that it is no wonder that people can be the first assistant, just this exquisite heart can not be compared, he usually has nothing to spare, but now it seems that there is a gap in comparison, if you want to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, there are still many things to learn.

"Ignorant and ignorant, with a bad idea......"

"I can't say that, I just said, it's okay to give it a try, as long as we don't come out." Zhang Siwei interrupted Gu Xiancheng and smiled slightly, full of an old fox who had cultivated to perfection.

While Yan Qing and Wei Yunzhen were still frowning and pondering, Gu Xiancheng had already thought of someone, and his eyes lit up: "What does Lord Yuanfu mean, is it not the Minister of General Affairs, Lord Min Tingjiamin?" ”

Zhang Siwei laughed: "The son can be taught!" ”
