Wei Zhongxian was not necessarily shocked, and said in his heart: "This "Hanlin Daily" mentioned his godson Sun Yunhe? ”

Zhang Gui said at this time: "Your Majesty, the minister also read this newspaper. ”

"Moreover, what the minister is about to report to His Majesty is that the things he reports in this newspaper are not rigorous!"

"When this newspaper mentions an incident, it only says that the factory guards did it, but does not specify whether it is the east factory or the west factory, doesn't this mislead both the east factory and the west factory to do things that harm the people?"

"I don't know about Father-in-law Wei's East Factory, but the minister's West Factory will never do anything that harms the people, even if the people under the West Factory really do it, the minister will already solve it and kick it out of the West Factory!"

"Therefore, this newspaper reports like this, there is no doubt that it intends to frame my West Factory, please Your Majesty Mingjian!"

"The decree is issued to the Hanlin Academy, and the "Hanlin Daily" they run must indicate whether the offending factory guards are from the East Factory or the West Factory! Otherwise, don't do it again! In addition, this issue, let them reprint and take back the original newspaper. ”

The Apocalypse thus proclaimed.

Then, Tianqi pointed to the "Hanlin Daily" in front of him and said: "At the moment, you can recognize for yourself, among the factory guards mentioned above, which ones are from your West Factory and which ones are from your East Factory." ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Gui and Wei Zhongxian agreed, and then looked at it carefully.

Soon, Wei Zhongxian found that it was all people from his East Factory.

Wei Zhongxian was furious because of this: "What is this Hanlin Academy trying to do?!" I didn't recruit them to provoke them! ”

At this time, Tianqi also looked at Wei Zhongxian and said, "Wei Zhongxian, it's time for your East Factory to rectify!" ”

"What the emperor said is that the slaves and maids will be strictly rectified."

Wei Zhongxian agreed.

And then, because this matter has reached the heavens, Wei Zhongxian still had to ask Sun Yunhe and other Dongchang officials mentioned in the "Hanlin Daily" to be dismissed, and this was used as an explanation to the apocalypse.

However, at this point, Wei Zhongxian also hated the "Hanlin Daily" and the civil officials behind it.

"This matter has nothing to do with our East Factory, it is that the civil officials of the foreign dynasty are jealous of their ability and are unwilling to admit the merits of the West Factory, and after seeing the West Factory's "Daming Daily" report a large number of deeds of the West Factory capturing Nurhachi and Li Yongfang, they deliberately came out with such a "Hanlin Daily" to discredit the West Factory, but because they didn't find any pickled things about the West Factory, they took the pickled things of our East Factory to report, and only put these things in the name of the factory guard, and deliberately misled the world. Let the people of the world think that no matter the east factory, the west factory is not a good person. ”

After Xu Xianchun reported the reason for this incident to Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian put the tea in his hand heavily on the table and said:

"To smear the West Factory is to smear the West Factory, but I still want to make my East Factory stink together! Do you really think I'm a bully in Dongchang?! ”

Xu Xianchun took out a copy of "Daming Daily" as he said and handed it to Wei Zhongxian: "Godfather, don't be angry, although it is our East Factory that suffers this time, but the West Factory does not intend to let go of these people who run "Hanlin Daily", you see this "Daming Daily", it is issued today, and it is full of the ugly things of the Wenchen scholars and doctors, and even the ugly Hanlin scandals of Bachelor Yang, the head of the Hanlin Academy, who insulted Feng Quan with Zhou Yanru and Miao Changqi in the Hanlin Academy, have been exposed, and it is written by Wen Zhenmeng, the official of the Hanlin Academy! ”

Wei Zhongxian looked at it busily, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Okay! Good! This time, let them, the Qingliu civil officials, also sweep away their faces, and our family will present the newspaper to Your Majesty! ”

Saying that, Wei Zhongxian asked Xu Xianchun again: "Is there a lot of this "Daming Daily" on the market? ”

"It's a lot, it's being distributed everywhere, almost everyone has one."

Xu Xianchun replied.

Wei Zhongxian said: "In this matter, we have to help the East Factory!" You pass on my words, and send all the ugly things about the Qingliu civil officials that have been found and archived here in Dongchang to the people who run the "Daming Daily"! In addition, let the celebrant help print the "Daming Daily", the more printed, the better, this money, our family will pay for it ourselves! ”

"Yes!"

……

"This, this, this...... It's just hateful, very hateful, hateful! ”

After Yang Jingchen saw that the latest issue of "Daming Daily" published a large number of ugly things about their scholars, he was so angry that he couldn't speak on the spot, and he felt extremely suffocated in his chest for a while.

Gong Dinghe hurriedly said: "Hurry up and let them take back this newspaper at a high price!" It's important to take it back quickly! ”

Liu Dong replied: "Old man, be generous! Now we can't get it back, they have printed too much, and now there are people buying this newspaper every ten steps in the capital, and many of them have been loaded on ships and headed south, and we can't collect them at all, because the small ones have already raised money to collect them first, and we can't collect them. And the price is twice as low as our Hallym Daily. We, the Hanlin Daily, can't beat them in terms of the amount of printing or the price. ”

"What?! Could it be that the ugly story of my Hanlin mentioned above is really going to spread all over the world?! ”

Yang Jingchen fainted as he spoke.

"Yang Gong!"

Gong Dinghe and the others hurriedly helped Yang Jingchen and woke him up.

After Yang Jingchen woke up, he still cared about this matter, and said: "Zhugong wants to think of a way, this is related to the reputation of Qingliu such as me!" I can't let it continue to be transmitted! ”

"You're right, it's about our reputation as a clear stream. We can't let these scandalous things continue to be spread by the "Daming Daily", for the sake of today's plan, we can only ask to see Your Majesty! I beg Your Majesty to edict all officials to stop running newspapers, and to take back the materials that have been sent, and return the world to innocence! ”

Gong Ding and Huidao.

"Your Majesty won't agree, it's better to go directly to see Uncle Zhang Guo, Chen Zizhuang proposed to run a newspaper in the past to open a way, it must be his instigation behind the scenes, and it is precisely because of this that we are so slandered and smeared by his "Daming Daily" in the West Factory today."

Yang Jingchen replied at this time.

"Beg for mercy from your relatives! This is a loss of my Wenchen style! ”

Gong Dinghe objected to this.

"That's right! How can we beg for mercy from a relative from a humble background! ”

"There has always been only the truth that relatives have bent their waists to us."

……

The other Qingliu civil officials said the same.

"Feng Gu and Shilin Qingyu, which is more important, lords!"

Yang Jingchen sighed.

"That's it!"

Gong Dinghe sighed, had to compromise, and really came to Suizhou Hou Mansion with Yang Jingchen and other civil officials.

It didn't take long for Zhang Gui to know that many Qingliu civil officials had come to him.

Zhang Gui, who was talking with Chen Zizhuang, Wen Zhenmeng, and other civil officials who supported the reform of the law, only smiled and said, "They are begging for mercy." ”

Wen Zhenmeng therefore said: "The following officials guessed that they must have asked Uncle Guo to agree, play His Majesty together, stop running the official newspaper, and withdraw the newspapers that were sent out before." ”

Chen Zizhuang also nodded: "When the content disseminated by the official newspaper develops in a direction that is unfavorable to them, they will do everything possible to prevent the continued circulation of the official newspaper and prevent the emergence of public opinion that is unfavorable to them!" Public opinion can only be used by him to threaten the imperial court, but not to threaten them. ”

"It is difficult to turn back when the bow is opened, and once this war of public opinion starts, it is up to them when it will end."

Zhang Gui replied.

"What does Uncle Guo mean by this?"

Wen Zhenmeng asked.

Zhang Gui smiled and said: "The printing volume of "Daming Daily" far exceeds that of "Hanlin Daily", and even can meet the daily needs of most people in Beijing to read "Daming Daily", because we have hired tens of thousands of people to participate in this matter, and most of them finally have a stable job, how can they live a life of hunger and cold again in order to preserve the reputation of some people?" ”

"Of course it can't!"

Chen Zizhuang replied without hesitation.

Zhang Gui picked up the tea, took a sip and said, "That's why Ben Hou said that it is up to them when this matter will end, and even that it can't be ended." As soon as the newspaper thing appeared, he couldn't stop showing up just because some people wanted to stop him! Unstoppable! ”

Chen Zizhuang nodded: "Don't talk about them, even if His Majesty decrees that he will no longer hold official reports, the contemptible people will not agree!" After all, it is the livelihood of tens of thousands of people, and if newspapers are opened in the three provinces of Beijing, the Ming Dynasty, it will not only solve the livelihood of tens of thousands of people! ”

"Master Hou, Gong Tongzheng, the Secretary of the General Administration, and many Qingliu civil officials such as Yang Zhangyuan of the Hanlin Academy are shouting to see you outside."

At this time, a family Ding walked in and said to Zhang Guiyu.

Zhang Gui got up and said to Chen Zizhuang, Wen Zhenmeng and the others: "Let's go, let's go meet them." ”
