When Zhu Cihong received the guerrilla battalion military report, he had already left Laizhou. While learning of Gao Jie's death, he was more concerned about that Li Chengdong. If I am not mistaken, this person first started from the thief, then descended to the bright, and then descended to the clear, zuihou anti-clear...... It really takes the capricious villain behavior of this era to the extreme.

Zhu Cihong has no moral purity, and to put it bluntly, he is a pragmatist. As long as you have the ability and are willing to follow the rules he set, even if you are a cheater and a sister-in-law, it is not unacceptable. Even a big traitor like Wu Sangui and King Sanshun, if he is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, no matter what kind of dirty thoughts he has in his heart, for the sake of eliminating the civil war, he can also give a good end...... It's just that Li Chengdong, the executioner of Santu Jiading, the master of Manchuria, is really too heavy-mouthed.

In this time and space, Li Chengdong has not committed such a heinous crime, can he be convicted for this?

Zhu Cihong Zuihou still couldn't step through the hurdle in his heart, and said: "This kind of unrighteous person who kills the boss in battle is really cold. Nian Nian surrendered in time to save my Donggong soldiers, so let him take people to mine. Other rewards and punishments for Luo Bu's petition should be permitted. Let them hand in the battle summary as soon as possible and hand it over to the General Staff for publication and distribution to the bureaus. The spoils obtained were entered into the treasury of Xuzhou Prefecture and made a book and submitted. ”

The Military Command Department quickly transmitted Zhu Cihong's order.

Zhu Cihong returned to the conference room, and there was only one person sitting in the room, it was Li Banghua, the left capital of the Ming Imperial Palace.

As an important minister of the Chongzhen Dynasty, Li Banghua has experienced too many ups and downs, and has left deep footprints both locally and centrally. Nowadays, there are scholars who come to join the emperor every day, and many of them are also Li Banghua's protégés. However, this old minister is too old, and after experiencing the drastic changes in Jiashen, he is even more full of gray hair and walks in a hurry.

Today, Li Banghua came to see Zhu Cihong to discuss the matter of Zhishi.

Zhu Cihong gave priority to military affairs. Back in the reception room, there was already a plan. From the perspective of his personal outlook on life and values, being able to end his life at work is the best destination in life. From a practical point of view, in this period of lack of human resources, it is better to die of exhaustion in the office than to let the loyal ministers die at home.

He looked at Li Banghua and said, "I really don't want to let Mr. go back." On personal affairs. When I first left the palace, my husband gave me a lot of guidance, so that I could use people to listen to things and not be deceived by others, which was a great favor. ”

"On the public, Mr. has gone through local, scientific, and military affairs, and has reached the cardinal, and he is really a rare national minister." Zhu Cihong sighed and said, "I think Mr. is still as healthy as ever, how can I be willing to give Mr. Zhishi?" ”

"Life is rare for seventy years, and the old minister is now rare. It is also the age of the previous dynasties, and he does not dare to covet power. Li Banghua said.

Zhu Cihong immediately said: "Coveting power? Where does this begin! Now that the country is in a state of distress and Shenjing has fallen, if Mr. is not loyal, how can he stay in the court? ”

Li Banghua smiled bitterly: "The old minister is really unbearable to drive......"

"Jiang Shang is eighty square worship, and Mr. is only seventy...... Oh! That's right! Zhu Cihong stroked his palms and stood up: "Mr. is indeed not suitable to run around." That's why I want to set up a separate department to collect the general policies of the imperial court and important matters in various places in one paper. Published all over the world, it is co-ordinated by important people. Sir deserves this position. ”

"Your Highness," Li Banghua was slightly surprised: "Isn't this the General Administration Department and the Di Bao?" ”

Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "In fact, it is to separate this errand from the hands of the General Political Secretary, and it is not called Di Bao, but only "Emperor Ming Circular". In the future, Yintai only does the business of receiving internal and external music, in short, only entering and not leaving. ”

The origin of Di Bao can be traced back to the early Western Han Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, there was an engraved Di Bao, and in the Song Dynasty, the issuance time was fixed. The Ming Dynasty's Di Bao was issued by the Tong Political Envoy Department, and Chongzhen began to use movable type printing in the eleventh year, although the quality was much worse than the engraved Di Bao, but it was better to print in time.

as your own mouthpiece. Of course, Zhu Cihong can't allow others to get involved. As long as the "Emperor's Circular" can open up the market, establish the status of the public opinion circle, and become a recognized vane of the court, then no matter what actions the emperor makes in the future, he will not be able to stifle the voice coming from the East Palace, nor can he weaken the influence of the East Palace in Shilin.

"And the source of the Di newspaper is too narrow," Zhu Cihong said, "only focusing on political affairs, and they are all court conclusions." The "Circular" I want to see needs to have the voices of all walks of life, and they can even resist and debate. Therefore, it is not suitable for the Secretary for General Affairs. ”

Li Banghua is old and sophisticated, not to mention that Jiangnan is not without this kind of private bar. The demon book case in the Wanli period, to put it bluntly, is just someone who wants to confuse people's hearts and influence the country's election through words. When he heard Zhu Cihong say this, he already realized in his heart, and he was grateful for the crown prince's trust in him, but he really couldn't think of anyone who could replace him.

It is not that Wu Fu and others lack talent, but to do a good job in this "Emperor's Circular", the most important thing is the word "selfless". How to make this "circular" the mouthpiece of the crown prince, rather than a sharp weapon in party struggle, is the fundamental requirement for selecting the person in charge.

Li Banghua's biggest advantage is that he stands in line early and does not form a party.

After that, he was proficient in the government affairs and military affairs of the north and south capitals. With him in charge, there is no need to worry about the conjectures of pedantic scholars in the "Circular".

Zhu Cihong looked at Li Banghua so sincerely, it really made the old minister unable to refuse, so he had to say: "If this is the case, the old minister will do his best." As soon as His Royal Highness has a handsome and talented person, the old minister will abdicate and make way for Xian. ”

"I have to train one for me." Zhu Cihong said with a smile, and then said: "Sir, how do you think this yamen should be named?" ”

Li Banghua's cloudy eyes closed slightly, and after two long breaths, he said: "Your Highness, maybe it may be a yamen." ”

"I wish Mr. Wen a high opinion." Zhu Cihong said.

Li Banghua coughed lightly: "Since the Song Dynasty, private newspapers have been rampant. After the Wanli Dynasty, there were many private newspapers in Jiangnan. In the future, the "Circular" will be very popular, and it will inevitably be effective. If you leave it alone, then those who slander the monarch's father will have one more sharp weapon. The old minister thought that a department should be set up under the Metropolitan Procuratorate to supervise the newspaper industry, keep the good ones and remove the evil ones. As for the "Emperor's Notice", it can be imitated by the establishment of six stores and industrial institutes, which is a private business of the heavenly family. You can not only get its convenience, but also borrow Weifu. ”

Zhu Cihong thought about it when he heard this, this was one step closer than his own idea, and it was really from the perspective of the whole country, and he talked about it for a long time, and he deserved to be an important minister of the imperial court. In contrast, the pattern of wanting to eat alone is a bit narrow.

"Sir, this is especially true!" Zhu Cihong praised: "It can be named the Department of Cultural Management, and all newspapers, books and periodicals in China will be supervised by it in the future." This matter still needs to be bothered by the gentleman, and the subordinate members should be compiled, and the convenience of the gentleman should be followed. ”

"Yes." Li Banghua slowly got up to say goodbye, but said secretly in his heart: Originally, he wanted to return to his hometown after begging, but he took such an errand, who else in the family can use it?

Zhu Cihong sent Li Banghua out of the room all the way, and under Li Banghua's repeated salutes and farewells, he finally did not send out the second door.

Zhu Cihong stood at the door and watched for a while, waiting for Li Banghua's figure to cross the corner before turning around and going back to the house.

Liu Ruoyu waited for a long time in the office room outside, and finally waited for this opportunity, chased after the crown prince before summoning the next one, and said loudly: "Your Highness, the minister has something to play Your Highness." ”

Zhu Cihong stopped, turned to Liu Ruoyu, and said with a smile: "Is there anything urgent about Liu Companion?" ”

Liu Ruoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said that the crown prince was in a good mood, and it was just right to say this. He stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, a few days ago, Liu Shi was disrespectful in front of the palace, and after several ladies returned to the palace, they cried for a long time. His Royal Highness didn't comfort him, but hurried to Tai'an Prefecture, afraid that something was wrong. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded slightly, and said: "The queen mother and the imperial aunt are both mothers and people in the world, and they should be regarded as children. A son is ignorant and presumptuous, which is a big deal. ”

"Your Highness, the Heavenly Family has its own prestige, so how can you indulge it." The wrinkles on Liu Ruoyu's face were all gathered together.

Zhu Cihong paused at his feet, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: Heavenly prestige? When your subordinates approve of you, you have prestige; If you betray your relatives, you're a fart! When the Jingshi fell, there was not even a Qinwang soldier, and you still wanted to find prestige from me? This old Liu is a little indistinguishable today, and his relatives are estranged!
