That's right, Li Yibai used the name of rebellion to kill people everywhere, but it is said that all the people he killed were corrupt officials. Please ask the old-timers to explain the specific situation in detail. Wu Fan took a sip of wine and said.
'Hmph. How could he only kill corrupt officials. Those corrupt officials didn't oppose him. Those corrupt officials are nothing more than his political enemies. And my Chai family has done good deeds in my life, and has never done anything that hurts the heavens and reason, although I am the god of northern wealth, but the money is also earned legitimately, every time there is a famine, I also open a warehouse for disaster relief.
The cause of this incident is that he promulgated two laws, one is the Heavy Tax Law and the other is the Junda Law. And I'm just making a little bit of an opinion.
A lot of people told me not to do it. I don't think it's normal for us to swallow our anger when our interests are violated. Even the previous emperors were allowed to disagree when they were in charge. How can he Li Yibai say that if he divides the land from my house, I must divide the land.
Moreover, my Chai family is the descendant of Chai Shizong, and the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has a gold medal for my family to avoid death, and I also insisted on standing up and speaking out because of this.
However, the oath that many generations of Great Song emperors had obeyed was destroyed in his hands. There is still integrity in people like him.
Li Yibai thinks I am his opponent. It was because he was red-eyed, so he ordered me to declare a rebellion and kill all the more than 300 members of my family. I happened to be away from home. Then he disguised himself as a beggar to escape.
He is a man of wolf ambition. In order to achieve their own great achievements. Simply disregard the lives of others.
Now when I see the media touting him as the one who saved the Great Song Dynasty, I want to vomit. ’
The old beggar said excitedly, a sip of wine choked in his throat, and he coughed again and again.
"Slow down, the old-timer is Chai Jincai." I don't know how I can help my seniors. ’
Wu Fan raised his glass and said quietly.
Chai Jincai took another sip of wine, "Hey." I guess it's hard for me to take revenge in my life. But you'll be able to help me uncover it. History cannot be allowed to drown this out.
You can let the world know about Li Yibai's crimes.
At the same time, we should promote social reform and realize democracy, and we cannot allow Li Yibai to continue to be dictatorial like this. Now although the Great Song Dynasty is governed by law, there is no freedom of speech at all, and the media of the Great Song Dynasty are all in the hands of Li Yibai, and the voices of the people cannot be fed back at all.
Similarly, the Great Song Dynasty did not yet have real democracy and freedom. The Prime Minister is not elected by the people on a one-vote basis. And there is no multi-party rotation in power.
Almost all the cabinets were appointed by Li Yibai.
I think that after Li Yibai retires, his position as prime minister will definitely be replaced by his son Long Wu.
This Long Wu used to be a businessman, who was oblivious to profits, and it is estimated that he also wantonly set up a monopoly company to exploit people's wealth. ’
Wu Fan was surprised. I didn't think that my predecessors also understood Li Yibai's advanced concepts. I read those books too. However, after Li Yibai really ruled the country according to law, the democratic reform was delayed. Do you regret it?
If he doesn't start it, then we start it ourselves.
The beginning of democracy begins with freedom of speech. We expose his ugliness. There shouldn't be only one voice in the whole world. Everyone has the right to question him.
No one can question him. He can kill others. Isn't that the only one in the world who has personal safety and security, and everyone else is like a mustard? ’
Chai Jincai raised his glass excitedly and said, "That's right. Little brother, you said it so well. That's why I'm going to fund your newspaper. Find an opportunity to publish an article exposing Li Yibai's ugliness. ’
'Well, senior, I'm just trying to do this. I think there is something wrong with the social culture of our Great Song Dynasty. The atmosphere of public opinion in society as a whole is obscuring something. How horrible are those things that they need to be covered up? Since everyone is not satisfied with the status, why don't they say it.
This is the result of Li Yibai's wanton killing.
The common people have become dumb. Intellectuals also did not dare to speak out. The whole society is growing up under repression. Only Li Yibai himself can speak wantonly. It's so hateful.
Li Yibai, a dictator, is really hateful.
Outside the firewood, I will toast you. ’
Saying that, Wu Fan raised his glass.
Chai Jincai was also extremely excited, he finally found a particularly good confidant. 'Come, little brother, we're going to get drunk today. ’
'Smack' two wine glasses collided.
The two drank in pain.
The next day, Chai Jincai gave Wu Fan a piece of gold.
It was the first time Wu Fan had seen so much money, but at this time, he had already looked down on money, and he had lost the vanity of ordinary people.
Now he is very happy to think that he can completely realize himself and do what he wants to do.
Wu Fan took this piece of gold and rented a house in an inn in the capital for a long time.
He first wrote editorials for some progressive newspapers in the capital.
Most of the content of the editorial is about democratic reform, the importance of freedom of speech.
Although Li Yibai controls all the media in the country. But for a newspaper article, he is not as strict as he manages.
Therefore, Wu Fan's small articles have also been published.
Wu Fan knew that all he could do now was this. He must be familiar with the operation of the newspaper before he can run his own newspaper in order to fully achieve his goal.
In short, he decided to work in the media until he promoted the realization of freedom of speech and democratic reforms in the Great Song Dynasty.
The article was well published. Later, he went out to dinner with the editor-in-chief of the newspaper.
In the process of discussion, the editor-in-chief was also surprised to learn that he was a classmate of King Wu before. The editor-in-chief invited him to work at the newspaper and become the editor of the newspaper.
He said yes, and that's what he wanted.
The days of working at the newspaper were intense and fast.
He receives submissions from many people from all over the world every day. He has selected many articles on freedom and democracy. Because these articles were popular with the repressed populace, their newspapers sold well.
Soon jumped to the top three in the capital.
And the first place in Beijing is still the official media of the People's Daily.
No one subscribes to this people's daily newspaper at all. It's just that Li Yibai forced officials to subscribe. It reports on his activities every day.
His name must be marked in large and bold letters.
His name was even larger than the emperor's font. Also put in the center.
Everybody knows. This font and arrangement represents power.
In the Great Song Dynasty, everyone only knew King Wu, but not the emperor.
When their newspapers jumped to the top three, the government of the Great Song Dynasty noticed.
The press office called, 'Hey, is it Seongnam Daily?' Why are your recent articles so much about democracy. You underreport some negative information. Do you want to pass the annual review? ’
The newspaper boss resigned, 'We must change, we must change.' Please rest assured. ’
The boss hung up the phone and held a stern meeting, "This time we have been criticized by our superiors, so future articles are still more convergent." ’
But the boss is also democratic. Moreover, critical articles of a democratic nature are popular with readers, and because they are profitable, the bosses also turn a blind eye.
And the editor-in-chief is an article that adheres to democracy.
This is also the reason why Wu Fan wants to work in this newspaper.
Months passed at once. One day, when Wu Fan was reading the manuscript, he found a special article. The content of the article is to question King Wu's wanton framing others for rebellion. Consider this to be a breach of good faith.
This kind of article is obviously very sensitive. If it is sent out, the newspaper may be closed. Even he will be caught. But some of the people also questioned it. It's a rare sound. Is there an awakening of the wisdom of the people?
And his benefactor Chai Jincai has always wanted him to help do this.
Wu Fan hesitated. Eventually, it was decided to publish this article.
The machines in the printing house are 'clicking', and the newspapers are printed one by one.
Stacks of newspapers were delivered to every house.
The reader got the newspaper and said, 'This article is well written. Yes, I always wanted to say it, but who would dare to say it. This Seongnam Daily is a newspaper that tells the truth. I'm sticking with you. ’
Newspapers were delivered to more places.
The newspaper boy on the street is also selling.
A lot of people have seen this article.
Of course, the people of the Great Song Dynasty also knew.
They hurriedly rushed to King Wu's mansion to report to Li Yibai.
"King Wu is not good, you can take a look." Li Gang took a copy of the Chengnan Daily and handed it to Li Yibai.
'What a bold man, he insulted me. Li Yibai's face was furious, and the newspaper was crumpled into a ball.
'Daddy. I'm going to take someone to close this newspaper. 'Long Wu arched his hand.
Not only should newspapers be shut down, but all newspapers that were sold should be taken back and destroyed. At the same time, all the people who participated in the review of articles in the newspaper were arrested for me. Li Yibai added.
Soon, Wu Fan, the editor-in-chief, and the newspaper owner were all arrested. The newspaper office was closed.
At the same time, tens of thousands of newspapers that had been sold were recovered and burned.
Wu Fan was in the cell, and his complexion was very good. Li Yibai finally showed his hideous face. ’
And the editor-in-chief and the newspaper owner bowed their heads and said, 'Wu Fan, how can you be so casual. How can that kind of article be sent. Although we usually play on the sidelines, we are measured. Ay. You've done us a terrible blow. ’
Wu Fan retorted, "What are you afraid of. We're doing the right thing. Why complain, why think it's wrong.
We didn't do anything wrong. It's them who are at fault.
It's a real thing. Why can't it be reported. Since the people are disgusted by the thing. Then we will use this operation to win freedom of speech for the people. ’
The editor-in-chief didn't look up, 'You're crazy. What do you want? You're just a little editor. Can you do this? ’
But isn't it true that the editor-in-chief is also democratic? Since you agree with me, why do you say that? Wu Fan asked.
'I'm committed to democracy, but I'm still eating.' My wife and children have to be supported at home. Don't hurt me. The editor-in-chief said angrily.
'yes. Don't hurt us. The newspaper owner was even more angry.
I didn't hurt you. I have a lot of money. When we get out, we'll start another newspaper. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and faster!)
