The weekly newspaper became popular on the first day, and everyone in the capital knew that the imperial court had issued such a special publication, which recorded news from all aspects of the country, from small things to big things, and was all-encompassing.

The price of the weekly newspaper is very cheap, and even the peddler's pawn can buy a copy. Not to mention students, it is a must-read and must-see.

As the two or three issues passed, the weekly newspaper spread to cities across the country, not only attracting a large number of people's attention, but also becoming popular with a group of editors.

Linghu Su will occasionally publish articles on it under the pseudonym Linghu, mostly on people's livelihood issues, how to irrigate, how to plant, and so on. Over time, the people knew that there was a knowledgeable Mr. Linghu.

Of course, the student gentry did not pay attention to Ling Husu's articles, they paid more attention to national affairs and the change of officials.

Editors are selected through a rigorous evaluation, and as long as an article is published in a weekly newspaper, even if it is a formal official, the subsequent promotion evaluation is determined by the quantity and quality of the article, as well as feedback from the people. Therefore, when the selection requirements for the editor of the weekly newspaper were announced, many students who failed to make the list wanted to try it, and they couldn't write articles if they couldn't do anything else.

Linghu Su is in line with the principle of preferring shortage to excess, never pedantic, his weekly newspaper is destined to walk in the preface of the times, only singing praises of virtue, and the editor does not need it, so that a large number of students failed in the assessment.

"Susu! I think that Zhou Sheng is very good, and the article is very beautiful. ”

Su Liu couldn't put it down with an article, read it and read it, and Linghu Su also read it, except for the stunning and beautiful words, it has no practical value, and it is not suitable for the weekly newspaper, after all, the weekly newspaper is for all the people.

"Queen Mother, if you really like it, you can create another newspaper, independent of the weekly newspaper, such as a literary newspaper and the like, to publish this kind of article for readers."

"Okay, just do it." Su Liu's eyes showed surprise, and Hu Su's words were in the right place.

Although Linghu Su is the secretary of the Propaganda Department, in fact, it is almost Su Liu who is in charge, and the book exists in name only. Linghu Su was very pleased, this could keep the queen mother from living in the deep palace and becoming haggard day by day.

In a month's time, Ling Husu's ability was recognized by the two prime ministers, needless to say, the weekly report was in full swing, and various other major events made Hu Su never make a mistake, and he could always think of novel ideas.

As a result, the south study almost became Ling Husu's office, and later, the old emperor directly let Ling Husu sit on the main seat, on the grounds that it was convenient to deal with government affairs.

The big thing of the four princes every day is to argue with each other in the court, no one obeys anyone, and no one can help anyone.

Wen Zhong always lamented in the south study that the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were like waste, and only the three of them could handle the major affairs of the imperial court.

Ling Husu feels good after getting used to this rhythm, and it is more meaningful than the irregular life before.

He learned to go to bed early and get up early, learned to consider the world from the perspective of the above, learned to live in harmony with the ministers, and learned a lot.

Linghu Su's change was seen by the old emperor, so on this day, they basked in the sun in the imperial garden.

"I see that you handle everything in an orderly manner, there are always novel methods, and the results are remarkable, you say, how do you grow this little brain." The old emperor asked with a smile.

Ling Hu Su's eyes rolled and he said, "When I was a child, I had a dream that a god took me to another world and lived there for seventy years, so I was able to know this. ”

The old emperor actually believed it and said, "That immortal must be extraordinary, Su Su, you are the best gift God has given me." ”

Ling Hu Su's heart trembled, and these words spoke to his heart. He used to have a father, but his father was so preoccupied with business that he didn't care about him, and now he was inexplicably flattered that the old emperor cared so much for him.

"Susu, why are you crying?" The old emperor was at a loss.

Ling Husu wiped his eyes and replied with a smile: "It's nothing, I feel it, the sun is very good today." ”

For the first time, he felt that it was good to be a girl, and there would always be such a father to care for and protect him, and a boy would definitely not have it.

"Su Su, let me ask you some serious things, what do you think of Wen Zhong and Fei Qing, I mean ability, and loyalty."

Ling Husu didn't want to reply: "Wen Xiang and Fei Xiang are the mainstays of the imperial court, their ability is above the ministers, and they are loyal to the country. ”

"What I'm asking is whether they're loyal to royalty."

This stumped Ling Husu, how did he know whether the two prime ministers were loyal to the royal family.

"Father, I think the prime minister is the prime minister of the country, not the prime minister of the royal family, as long as they can do good things, it is excellent."

The old emperor frowned, shook his head, then sighed, and finally said, "What you said is also reasonable, just look at it." But in any case, those who are disloyal to the royal family cannot be reused. ”

Ling Husu heard the deeper meaning of this, the old emperor meant that he was the emperor, which was really a little surprising.

The old emperor couldn't stay outside for too long, and after a while, he was sent back to the house by the palace maids and eunuchs, and Hu Su retired.

But he hadn't gone far before Xu Yi followed.

"Seventh Princess, wait a minute."

Ling Hu Su stopped, turned around and waited for him to speak.

"Your Majesty said that there is a family banquet tonight, and when the time comes, Your Majesty, the queen, the princes, you must all participate."

"Okay, I got it."

In the evening, Ling Husu knew that the so-called family banquet was not a family banquet of the royal family, but a family banquet of the state.

In addition to the members of the royal family, there are also ministers, and the heavenly and the main hall is full.

When Linghu Su went, the atmosphere in the hall was already extremely lively, and the ministers and princes had all arrived.

"The Seventh Princess has arrived."

The arrival of Ling Husu has attracted everyone's attention, and they all know that the current Seventh Princess is deeply favored by His Majesty, and even national affairs have to be asked about him.

"I've seen four brothers." Linghu Su, as a younger sister, also has to be courteous.

"Why didn't Su Su come earlier, the second brother prepared a gift for you!"

"Second brother, I don't want a puppet toy, are there anything else?"

"Of course there are others, you absolutely like them, but it's a bit big, I'll give it to you when the banquet is over."

"Okay!"

Ling Husu and several princes spoke separately before sitting in his place under the guidance of the eunuch. Although there are no names written on the seats, who will do what positions has been decided.

Ling Husu sat under Chen Yun on the left, with the four elder brothers in front of him and many members of the royal family behind him. On the right side of the main hall are ministers, headed by Wen Zhong Fei Qing, followed by six Shangshu, and then other ministers.

At seven o'clock, the old eunuch Xu Yi hurriedly walked up to the hall and preached loudly: "Your Majesty and Queen have arrived." ”

Everyone stood up and bowed upwards.

The old emperor couldn't walk alone, so he walked out with the support of Su Liu and the two palace maids and sat on the throne above.

"Excuse me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The arrival of the old emperor made the atmosphere in the hall more and more serious, and it lost its initial activity.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Xu also announced the start of the banquet, and immediately, a band played music, and a group of dancers descended from the sky and danced softly.

At the same time, there were dense palace maids walking through the inside and outside of the hall, coming in with meals, and placing them on everyone's desks, since it was a banquet, they must eat and drink.
