Wang Yinglin still did not resist the abduction of King Yan, and should be sent to raise the Wenxuan Division.

By the way, Liu Mengyan and Xie Changyuan were also stuffed to the Department of Culture and Propaganda to work part-time, anyway, their original yamen was relatively clear, and they were idle, so it was better to make some contributions to the cultural cause.

Being able to enter King Yan's system is exactly what the two of them dream of, and compiling books is a major event of the country in the feudal dynasty, and doing this work is a manifestation of being reused.

Where did they think of it, Zhao Mengqi was just in the mentality of waste utilization.

After the matter was agreed, Zhao Mengqi began to operate vigorously, and three days later the imperial court issued an edict establishing the Department of Culture and Propaganda.

The government office was set up in Qinghefang, and the original Bazuo Division here had been relocated to the new city area, and the vacant house courtyard was just for the use of the Propaganda Division.

Bazuo Division is responsible for the repair and maintenance of the palace in and outside the capital, specializing in construction, and its own house is naturally spacious and beautiful, and it can be moved in with a little tidying, and there is enough space to place a newspaper printing workshop.

The reason why I chose this place is not only because of the hardware conditions, but also because it is relatively close to the Secretary Department and the Taishi Bureau.

The Ministry of Secretaries is the highest body in charge of the national library, collection, proofreading, and compilation, and the Taishi Bureau is the author of historical books, both of which have a large collection of documents and materials that can be used to facilitate the needs of the Department of Culture and Propaganda.

Diagonally opposite the Wenxuan Division, it happens to be Zhang Xun's palace, that is, Zhang Shu's house.

Zhang Shu went home in a luxurious four-wheeled carriage, and looked at the newly hung 'Great Song Culture Promotion Division' sign through the window, his face was full of gloom.

Every time a new yamen is set up, King Yan's tentacles are extended by a few points, and the impact on the government is getting bigger and bigger, and the good days of the Zhang family are getting shorter and shorter.

Pretending to be full of worries, Zhang Shu entered the house, came to the back hall, and saw his father Zhang Wei and son Zhang Yan both there.

Zhang Wei just finished the school exam Zhang Yan's knowledge, and commented, "Your new words are not bad, but the words and sentences still need to be refined before they can be elegant and ...... law."

"My grandchildren will be taught and will try to strengthen their phonological studies."

Nine-year-old Zhang Yan has a crisp voice, looks very handsome and elegant, and is a beautiful young man.

Zhang Shu walked into the hall, greeted him, and then sent his son away, "Brother Yan, you go to study by yourself." ”

The son is still too young to let him hear something.

After Zhang Yan left, Zhang Wei spoke first, "Are you sure it's going to be launched?" ”

"Yes, time is running out, we can't wait any longer, otherwise we will just sit back and wait and hand over our century-old foundation to others." Zhang Shu replied in a deep voice.

Zhang Wei held on to the seat handle, slowly leaned back on the chair, and sighed heavily, "But, if we take a slight wrong step, then we will lose more than just the foundation......

"Father, rest assured, this time the son has a foolproof plan, even if he misses, it will not implicate our family." Zhang Shu made a guarantee in his mouth.

Zhang Wei looked up at Fang Liang and said disapprerovingly, "Heh, you said the same thing last time, but why are there so many eagle dogs staring at our house?" ”

Without waiting for his son to argue, Zhang Wei continued, "I know that you are meticulous and have left no traces, but this kind of thing can be reminiscent of our family without any evidence, who made our family the largest landlord in the world." ”

"Last time, my son was in a hurry and reckless." Zhang Shu bowed his head slightly, "But I have learned a lesson from this, and I am absolutely cautious, this time our people will not do anything other than beating the side drum in the court." ”

Zhang Wei nodded slightly, "It's not just our family whose interests are damaged, we are in a hurry, some people are more anxious than us, we can't take the lead every time, they sit back and enjoy the success, this time let those Fujian children toss." ”

"What the father said is very true, and the son also thinks the same, through their tossing, we also take the opportunity to promote the original plan, if they can make a name for themselves, we will take a hand and nail the coffin board to death, even if they fail, we will not get nothing......"

"Okay, just do as you say." After speaking, Zhang Wei squinted his eyes, as if he was very tired.

The undercurrent is just surging quietly, Lin'an is still singing and dancing, in addition to the newly established Cultural Propaganda Division, the more important thing in the court, that is, Li Zengbo has entered the court.

In March, Li Zengbo, who went to Sichuan to work as a firefighter, wrote to the imperial court.

To the effect that the crisis in Sichuan has been lifted, I have done everything that should be done, all affairs have been arranged, and there are special ministers in charge of all aspects.

After Dong Huai read it, he felt that Li Zengbo seemed to be a little resentful between the lines, so he discussed with Zhao Guan's family and appointed Pu Zezhi as the envoy of Sichuan Xuanfu and Chongqing, in order to replace Li Zengbo.

At the same time, Li Zengbo was summoned back to the court, to find out the specific situation, and to appease and appease.

In fact, why Li Zengbo is dissatisfied, the central princes can probably guess some.

Last year, King Yan first killed his grandson Xu Tianyi, and then collapsed the entire Xu family, Xu Mian was dismissed from office and was a citizen, Xu Xueqian was imprisoned because of the old lawsuit, and the Xu family was bankrupt and had nothing, and then Li Zengbo's daughter took her husband Xu Song to Sichuan to cry.

When Li Zengbo saw his daughter's misery, he naturally felt extremely uncomfortable.

Okay, Lao Tzu is in the back but let my daughter's family die, this is not bullying honest people, Lao Tzu is gone!

In early April, Pu Zezhi went to Sichuan to take over, but when Li Zengbo returned to Lin'an, he struggled all the way, as if to show his anger in this way.

It was not until the sixth day of the sixth month of June that Li Zengbo arrived in Lin'an.

But the ministers, knowing that he was on fire in their hearts, were unwilling to greet him, lest they touch his head, so they pushed it back and forth, and finally pushed it on the head of the initiator.

His Royal Highness King Yan, it's better for you to pick it up......

Zhao Mengqi didn't shirk either, just go, could that old man still eat me.

After coming to the busy canal wharf, he asked people to clear out a special trestle, and Zhao Mengqi led people to wait for Li Zengbo's boat on the trestle.

Geng Zhi carried a bundle of thorny thorns and placed them at Zhao Mengqi's feet, "Your Highness, what you want." ”

What do you mean by what I want?

How could I have done it this way......

Zhao Mengqi rolled his eyes, and looked at Zhou Mi and Fang Lu beside him again, "Isn't there a better and brighter way?" ”

Fang Lu made a wooden face, "Focus on sincerity, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior methods!" ”

Zhou Mi sneered, "Although the trick is old, it is absolutely practical,...... Li Xiang is the pillar of the country, and his hard work is high, and it is worth it for His Royal Highness to be wronged. ”

Zhao Mengqi was speechless, obviously he didn't do anything wrong, but things in the world are not as simple as right and wrong.

Not to mention Li Zengbo's outstanding achievements, the current situation really requires him to sit in the southwest and resist the threat from the direction of Dali.

Between national defense and security and his own face, Zhao Mengqi of course chose the former, so he took off his robe and tied the thorn strip on his back.

Being pierced into the flesh by so many spikes, no matter who it is, it will not feel good, but Zhao Mengqi was stunned and did not frown, and stood there straight, like a statue.

People on the dock came and went, and when they saw this strange scene, they couldn't help but stand outside the warning circle and watch.

"Yo, which one is this singing?"

"Guilty of guilt? That seems to be His Royal Highness King Yan......"

"It's King Yan, and the person he wants to pick up today is Li Xiang."

"Oh...... So that's the case, to put it mildly, Li Xiang has been conscientious and hardworking in order to protect the country, but his family can't get the care of the imperial court, and I can't accept it, so I can only say that King Yan is too unkind. ”

"I can't say that, no matter how much you take care of it, there is a limit, Li Xiang's grandson and in-laws really deserve it, and they can't blame King Yan."

"I can't blame King Yan, so why does he still have to bear the guilt!?"

"You know a fart, this is His Royal Highness King Yan who endures humiliation for the sake of the overall situation of the country!"

"Hehe, I'll take a look, if Li Xiangzhen wants to beat him, he can't bear it."

After waiting for half an hour, the pilot led a large official ship to the trestle, and the people on board were stunned when they saw the scene on the trestle.

Then, an old man, supported by a noble lady, slowly walked down the gangway and came to Zhao Mengqi.

Zhao Mengqi waved his hand and bowed deeply, "Xiao Wang, on behalf of his father and the imperial court, welcomes Li Xiang's return to the court." ”

The old man looked elegant, but he was not angry and arrogant, looking at the young Yan King who was naked in front of him, and there was a trace of complexity in his sharp eyes.

"The old minister didn't dare to be such a big gift to His Royal Highness, and I don't know what His Highness meant by doing so."

The woman who supported him was his daughter Li Xi, muttering, "Pretending to be ......"

Li Zengbo turned his face and glared at his daughter.

Zhao Mengqi still bowed, "Xiao Wang is not doing this to ask for guilt, because Xiao Wang feels innocent and can ask for ......"

Hearing this, Li Zengbo's face darkened, don't ask for guilt, could it be that you are here to play with the old man!?

Zhao Mengqi continued to speak, "Thanks to Li Xiang all these years, I can be as safe as Mount Tai in the southwest, your merits do not need to be repeated, you are a person that Xiao Wang respects very much." ”

"Li Xiang's life is bright and upright, and he has worked hard for the country and the people, and he will definitely go down in history and praise for the ages, if you use your merits to atone for the crimes of others, wouldn't it be the biggest insult to you?"

"Of course, people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless, Xiao Wang in the last resort, deeply hurt your feelings, Xiao Wang is deeply sorry, today do not ask for anything else, let you fight and kill, I only hope to make your heart more comfortable."

After speaking, Zhao Mengqi straightened up and looked at Li Zengbo with sincere eyes.

Li Zengbo was very surprised by King Yan's performance, it turned out that an apology can be so reasonable?

"Really fight and kill!?"

"Really! It's more real than pearls! Zhao Mengqi was calm.

"Okay, that's what you said."

Immediately, Li Zengbo took out a dagger from his sleeve pocket and approached Zhao Mengqi.

Zhao Mengqi stood still, his expression did not change at all, and his eyelids did not blink.

Seeing Li Zengbo raise his dagger and stab Zhao Mengqi in the heart, Wu Qiong and the other guards panicked, but due to King Yan's previous strict orders, no matter what Li Zengbo did, no one was allowed to interfere, so he could only be in a hurry.

The cold and piercing blade pressed against Zhao Mengqi's heart, but Li Zengbo found that his eyes were still clear, and he seemed to really ignore life and death.

Then Li Zengbo picked up the dagger and cut the rope that bound the thorns.

A bundle of thorns fell to the ground, Li Zengbo walked around, and when he saw Zhao Mengqi's back covered with blood and small wounds, he sighed.

"The old minister does have anger in his heart, but now it has dissipated, Your Highness, what you said and did today made the old minister extremely admired, but please don't take such risks in the future!"

After speaking, he strode towards the driver's place, and Li Xi exclaimed urgently when he saw this, "Daddy, is Tianyi dying in vain like this......"

"Shut up!"

Li Zengbo didn't look back.
