"Back to the saint, the old slave has already said hello to the eunuch in charge of the printing in the palace, there is no problem in terms of technology, as for the editor-in-chief of the host, the old slave has five candidates, and the saint still needs to consider it, the old slave is too tired to see the emperor, so he plans to report it again tomorrow." Cao Huachun trembled and said, as the emperor's eunuch, his life is not easy, he is fifty years old, and he can sleep for an hour or two at most every day.

The emperor took a sip of tea, ate a small snack, and motioned for him to continue, saying that after listening to Cao Huachun's report of several candidates, Qian Qianyi's name made the emperor sick for a while.

This Qian Qianyi he knows, Qian Qianyi, the word is accepted, the number is Mu Zhai, the late number is Mengsuo, the old man of Dongjian, a frequent acquaintance in Jiangsu, an essayist and poet in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. The leader of the literary world at the end of the Ming Dynasty, together with Wu Weiye and Gong Dingyu, was known as the three masters of Jiang Zuo, and Qu Shiyun, Gu Yanwu, and Zheng Chenggong were all his students. In the thirty-eighth year of Wanli (1610), he was awarded the compilation and revision, and participated in the activities of the Donglin Party. At this time, Qian Qianyi, who is almost fifty years old, has a big official position, and he is a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and it stands to reason that he should do the affairs of Daming Daily!

But Cao Huachun has more eyes, he knows that the emperor is serious, and he is suspicious by nature, if he only reports one name, he is afraid that the emperor will think that he is a party! In fact, he had no connection with these literati.

Why did Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen feel disgusted when he heard Qian Qianyi's name, because he didn't like this person very much in his previous life, and this kind of sao literati has a great reputation! But you can't do anything serious! And this Qian Qianyi's life style and honesty are not clean! Emperor Chongzhen remembered that in the previous life, he was an official in the court, and he was fired by himself within two years, and later because of the shortage of manpower, after a short period of activation, he was fired by himself! And then after he died, this man was cleared! And then there was no good ending in the Qing court.

"When did I tell you that he was the editor-in-chief, just this Qian Qianyi, this person has a false name, in the future, you set the topic, set the direction, let him write, find a few literati with good writing, and set the Daming Daily first! You're the final presiding judge! Remember, Daming Pao is all about seeking truth from facts! Reflect the most accurate social dynamics and current affairs news! Reflect my political thinking and support the imperial power from the perspective of public opinion! Do you understand? This person, I am gone, this article was written by me for the defense of the Beijing Division, as a model text! In the future, this format will be used, and the font of Daming Pao will be in regular script, small characters, from left to right! "Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen has an accurate positioning of the most basic concept of the newspaper! If Daming wants to engage in renaissance and emancipate the minds of the people, Daming Daily is a very important position!

Cao Huachun quickly recorded the emperor's instructions in a small notebook, and Emperor Chongzhen was surprised to find that he was becoming more and more dependent on the eunuchs, at least, the eunuchs would complete his orders to the letter!

Emperor Chongzhen added: "The purpose of Daming Bao, you remember, is to tell the truth, tell the truth, don't exaggerate, don't cover up the truth, the truth can never be covered up!" In three days, I will get the first Daming Pao, and one issue will be published in the next ten days! In the second issue, the branch of Daming Bao will be established in the eight prefectures of Beizhili, and the fee will be charged according to the cost, the cheaper the better, this is the central newspaper, not for profit! This is my political position! You're going to give me a good business! Strive to within three years, so that the people of Beizhili, Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Liangguang, and Fujian can read Daming Bao for the first time, and publish it synchronously every ten days! The content of the publication should be at least a month's worth of current affairs! I believe that within three years, I will be able to connect from Beijing to Guangzhou! It only takes half a month! ”

Cao Huachun's blood boiled when he heard it, if it really reached such a large scale as the emperor said, the power was really not small! At least 10,000 people! It's not worse than the Jinyiwei's compilation and control range! The eunuch's pursuit of power is fanatical! Especially after the emperor issued a holy decree not to allow the little eunuch to leave the palace and the big eunuch not to leave the capital! There is no place to spend the silver! The eunuchs have gradually shifted their pursuit of money to power!

Cao Huachun wrote them down one by one and reminded carefully, "Your Majesty, you are really working too hard, should you rest early?" There are too many things in a day, people are tired, and the gains outweigh the losses? ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and rubbed his eyes, "I'm not sleepy, you go down on an errand!" By the way, let people rumor that Lu Xiangsheng entered the palace to see the driver! ”

Cao Huachun's eyes turned red, and he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, for the sake of the country, you also have to take care of the dragon body!" You are now young and energetic, but you still need to pay attention to maintenance, and when you are in your thirties and forties, the symptoms of the accumulated illness will gradually appear. If there is anything, you can directly give an order, and the old slave will order the emperor to do it, so you don't need to summon everyone separately. This is the old slave's heartfelt words, and the old slave has absolutely no intention of cursing His Majesty. ”

Cao Huachun said this boldly, and Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen didn't blame him, and said with a smile, "I'm really not sleepy, I naturally have to sleep when I'm sleepy, what things can be ordered, what things need to be negotiated, I know it, you go down." ”

Cao Huachun wiped his tears and went out, and after asking Xu Guowei, he knew that the emperor had been working since he came back from the city defense! This is equivalent to saying that the emperor only slept for less than four hours in these five days! He was deeply apprehensive, and those who don't sleep have a great temper! The effect on the body is not good either! The eunuchs paid great attention to maintenance.

Cao Huachun was just about to leave the Chengqian Palace, and the emperor ran out, "Cao Huachun, from now on, the stewards and eunuchs in the palace, as well as the big eunuchs that you and Wang Chengen think are of enough level and have a lot of things, you can take a sedan chair in the palace, time is money!" Time is of the essence! Hurry up! ”

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he ran back to the upper study.

Cao Huachun Khan! The emperor is the same outside the palace, he is the son of heaven admired by all the people, and his demeanor is graceful and luxurious! But back in the palace, there is obviously mania! He also softly instructed Xu Guowei, "Let the steward of the imperial study ask the imperial doctors for prescriptions, and arrange more tea for the emperor to calm his nerves and replenish his qi, so as to help the emperor sleep!" And also! Has the emperor summoned any concubines recently? ”

Xu Guowei shook his head, "Not once, the emperor hasn't turned over the sign for half a year!" ”

Cao Huachun took the teapot from the eunuch's hand and poured a few sips! With his hands behind his back, he paced out, muttering in a low voice as he walked, "This! This won't work! No wonder the emperor has been so angry recently! Xu Guowei, you are an internal servant! is the emperor's personal eunuch, if the emperor's major events are delayed, our family will consider making a proposal to the prince and replacing you! ”

Xu Guowei wiped his sweat and promised in a low voice, secretly saying in his heart, the emperor wants the emperor's sister-in-law! Who should I reason with? How can I give the emperor's sister-in-law to the emperor to get a dragon couch? I'm just a deacon and eunuch, do I have such a great ability? If you have such a great ability, it will be your old guy's turn to teach our family?
