At this time, Fanning said again: "Your Majesty, the unscrupulous tabloid wantonly insulted the minister, which has caused an extremely serious adverse impact on the reputation of the innocent minister, should it also be severely punished?" ”

Wen Yanbo was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, by all means, the speaker is not guilty, and the officials who spread rumors can be punished, and the public opinion must not be affected!" ”

Fan Ning was a little unhappy, he said coldly: "May I ask Xianggong Wen, the tabloid has added oil and vinegar, wantonly slandered, and completely ruined Ouyang Xiu's reputation, is it okay if the person who says it is not guilty?" ”

Wen Yanbo glared at Fan Ning fiercely and said: "The tabloids are all gossip from the market, and they don't have much credibility in themselves, as long as the "Chaobao" discloses the truth, all kinds of adverse influences will naturally be eliminated, and there is no need to delve into it?" ”

Fan Ning stiffly said: "Since Prime Minister Wen keeps saying that the speaker is not guilty, then why should Xue Zongru be held responsible?" Xue Zongru is guilty of spreading rumors, can it be that the "tabloid" rumors can be higher than the laws of the Great Song Dynasty and do not have to bear any responsibility? ”

"You-"

Wen Yanbo was so pushed by Fan Ning that he couldn't say a word.

Fu Bi hurriedly said: "It is true that the tabloid slandered Ouyang Xiu's reputation, but it is not the initiator after all, Wei Chen thinks that if the tabloid public rumor and apologize, the punishment can be avoided." ”

Fanning said: "Wechen agrees with Fu Xianggong's plan, but one thing needs to be clear, what if the tabloid refuses to apologize? ”

At this time, Zhao Zhen said coldly: "Order the tabloid to spread the rumor and apologize, if it refuses to apologize, then it will be fined 10,000 yuan, and if it still refuses to accept the fine, then it will be directly blocked!" ”

After speaking, Zhao Zhen flicked his sleeves and got up to leave.

Wen Yanbo's face was very ugly, he also snorted coldly, ignored Fan Ning, and turned to leave.

Fu Bi shook his head, turned around and chased after him, he wanted to discuss with Wen Yanbo about the specific punishment of "Tabloid Newspaper".

Han Qi and Fan Ning walked out of the imperial study, Han Qi patted Fan Ning on the shoulder and praised: "This thing is well done!" ”

Fan Ning smiled, "I'm afraid I've offended Wen Xianggong badly." ”

"Don't worry about that, at least the Son of Heaven supports you, don't you feel it? Wen Xianggong's conniving attitude towards the "tabloid" also made the Son of Heaven quite dissatisfied. ”

Fan Ning sighed, "The series of reports on Ouyang Xiu by the tabloid are obviously malicious, and they are typical of falling into the well, I can't figure it out, why did Wen Xianggong turn a blind eye, does the tabloid have his interests?" ”

Of course, Wen Yanbo has a good relationship with the proprietor behind the scenes of the tabloid newspaper, this is something that everyone knows, in this matter, he will inevitably have a little personal emotion, we should understand, the key is that he supports the punishment of Xue Zongru, the overall situation is consistent with us, and other subsections should not be too careful."

"Han Xianggong is right, I'm still too young."

"You've done a good job, don't take it personally."

Fan Ning bowed and saluted, "Thank you Han Xianggong for your support!" ”

Han Qi patted him on the shoulder and walked away quickly........

Seeing that it was almost noon, Fanning also quickly left the palace and went out to eat.

Soon, Xue Zongru falsely accused Ouyang Xiu, and the news of being dismissed and imprisoned spread throughout the government and the opposition in a very short time, and for a time the government and the opposition were in an uproar.

Liu Qin, a straight bachelor, was held accountable, and everyone didn't care much, the key was Liu Yun, the left servant of the ministry, who was a high-ranking official with real power who was hopeful, Zhang Yaozuo's right-hand man, and the news was extremely shocking.

Many people vaguely guessed that the Son of Heaven was going to clean up Liu Yun a long time ago, but he just found this excuse for dereliction of duty.

The Son of Heaven cut off Zhang Yaozuo's right-hand man, what does it mean? The entire court official was whispering about it.

..........

Jia Changchao was unexpectedly silent, whether it was Xue Zongru being arrested or Liu Qin being demoted, it seemed that it had nothing to do with him, but Liu Yun's demotion made him secretly happy.

He knew very well in his heart that if he lost, he would gain something, and the official family would not let Zhao Zongshi's faction sit big, and Liu Yun's demotion meant that he was one step closer to the Zhizheng Hall.

However, Jia Changchao also had troubles, that is, Xue Zongru, Xue Zongru slandered Ouyang Xiu, that is, he personally deployed it, that night, Xue Zongru was called to his study to teach him face-to-face.

Will he not be able to endure the interrogation of Dali Temple and betray himself, it stands to reason that he will not, but Jia Changchao is very clear about the methods of interrogation of prisoners by those bastards in Dali Temple, and Xue Zongru is a typical gentleman, can he survive it?

Night has quietly fallen, Jia Changchao is still pacing back and forth in the study with his hands on his hands, looking preoccupied, he has asked his son Jia Yan to inquire about Xue Zongru's situation, and there is no news back yet.

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the yard, this should be his son Jia Yan coming back, and soon, Jia Yan's voice came from the door, "Father, the child is back!" ”

"Come in!"

Jia Yan walked in quickly, Jia Yan is currently a palace guard, but he has a clear mind, is shrewd and capable, and is deeply valued by his father Jia Changchao, and many things that are inconvenient for him to come out are for his son to do.

Jia Yan entered the house and gave a salute, "Father, the situation seems to be a little bad!" ”

Jia Changchao's heart sank, and he asked anxiously, "Did Xue Zongru involve me?" ”

"The child is a prisoner, he told the child, just one meal, Xue Zongru began to bite people indiscriminately, not only confessed his father, but also Zhang Yaozuo and Zhang Sheng, if the trial continues, I am afraid he will confess everything."

"This useless soft egg!"

Jia Changchao scolded hatefully, and asked again: "Why is Zhang Yaozuo also related?" ”

"It seems that Zhang Yaozuo also looked for him, Zhang Sheng also looked for him at noon yesterday, and the child heard that because of the important matter, Dali Temple did not dare to record a confession, and wanted to wait until tomorrow after asking the governor to talk about it." Jia Yan was reminding his father that tonight was the last chance.

Jia Changchao was more concerned about Zhang Yaozuo at this time, why did Zhang Yaozuo find Xue Zongru?

Obviously, Zhang Yaozuo didn't believe in himself, he probably wanted to use Xue Zongru to impeach more people, such as Bao Zheng and the like, but he didn't expect to be betrayed by Xue Zongru, Jia Changchao sneered, he could imagine Zhang Yaozuo's anger at this time.

"Father, what are we going to do?" Jia Yan asked in a low voice.

Jia Chang walked around a few times, and suddenly asked, "If you let Xue Zongru shut up forever, do you think it will be difficult?" ”

Jia Yan whispered: "Hanging himself in prison, Jiang Jiaocheng can do it, and Xue Zongru bit out Zhang Yaozuo, the child thinks that if he dies, the above will also breathe a sigh of relief." ”

"What does this Jiang Jicheng want?" Jia Changchao asked again.

"Money! And he offered the boy five hundred denarii. ”

Jia Changchao nodded, this Jiang Jiaocheng is a smart person, what he wants may not be money, but if he doesn't want money, he won't dare to entrust him to do things.

Jia Changchao said: "Give him five hundred taels of silver, and then tell him that if there is a suitable opportunity in the future, I will let him be promoted to another level." ”

"That shouldn't be a big problem, the boy will get things done tonight."

"It's better not to succeed than to be safe, let's go!"

Jia Yan bowed and slowly retreated.

Jia Changchao is still thinking about Zhang Yaozuo's problem, he and Zhang Yaozuo should be on the same front, both support King Langya, but this involves a problem of interest distribution, he and Zhang Yaozuo have never reached a consensus, Jia Changchao believes that as long as he enters the phase, Zhang Yaozuo folds Liu Yun again, then he will come to beg himself sooner or later.

........

The next day was a mid-day break, and the hundred officials rested at home for a day, and Fan Ning was also a little tired from going to court for several days, so he slept hard and didn't get up until it was dawn.

In a small bamboo forest in the backyard, Fan Ning was walking in the bamboo forest, Ouyang Xiu's matter had been resolved, but some of the things that appeared in this case gave him a great inspiration.

What impressed Fanning the most was the influence of "Tabloid News" and "Chao Pao", whether it made money or not did not need to be considered for the time being, but the influence of these two newspapers on public opinion made me deeply amazed.

Can you also run a newspaper and take public opinion into your own hands?

Fan Ning had the idea of running a newspaper for a long time, but he was an official overseas, so he couldn't take care of it for the time being, and it wasn't until this personal experience that he deeply understood the importance of public opinion in the Great Song Dynasty, and it also made Fan Ning once again rise up the idea of running a newspaper.

Of course, the newspaper was not run by himself, but Zhu Yuanfeng was invited to come forward to run the newspaper, and the Zhu family came forward and hid behind the scenes, which was more hidden.

Running this newspaper is not only for himself, but also for Zhao Zongshi, Fan Ning through this Ouyang Xiu incident, he found that the Qian family is more or less biased towards Zhang Guifei, and is not completely neutral, in the future when the dispute between the many concubines is the most intense, I am afraid that the guidance of the newspaper's public opinion will be biased at a critical moment, and public opinion is still in his own hands.

At this time, Zhu Pei hurriedly walked over, walked outside the bamboo forest and said with a smile: "Husband, I have good news for you." ”
