Hui Shiyang, the minister of the Donglin Party, stood up at the court meeting.

He directly bowed his hand to Zhu Youxiao, and said with a respectful face: "Your Majesty, there is a Shuntian weekly newspaper in the capital. ”

"The newspaper was full of rebellious words, and the content was deviant, and it slandered the upright minister, which made the imperial court lose its dignity."

"If such a newspaper is allowed to circulate any further, it will inevitably cause chaos in the government, and it is not impossible to cause great disasters in the future."

"It's okay for Your Majesty to decree that this Shuntian weekly report will be forbidden."

As soon as this remark came out, there were many Donglin Party ministers, such as Zhou Chaorui, Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, Xie Xuelong in the Criminal Division, and Cheng Zhengji, Zuo Duyu Shi, who came out to echo him.

Even Xu Guangqi, Sun Chengzong and others sighed when they looked at Zhu Youxiao above.

They didn't expect Zhu Youxiao to play such a trick, which really stepped on the sore feet of these Donglin Party ministers.

Now that these Donglin Party members have declined, members do not even dare to declare themselves to be members of the Donglin Party in public.

But the energy they were able to burst out was still not small.

These Donglin Party members who stood up occupied almost all kinds of dangerous positions in the six departments, not to mention that there were a large number of imperial histories with explosive combat effectiveness.

Who knew that Zhu Youxiao above smiled faintly, as if he didn't feel any pressure, and said narrowly: "Ladies and gentlemen, what you said about banning the Shuntian weekly newspaper is absolutely not to be done." ”

"I, Daming, have never been punished for their words, and every minister and the people can express their will."

"If I really do this, then won't I become a faint king who blocks the way of speech, this matter must not be done, and all the Aiqing must not mention it again."

When Zhu Youxiao said these words, his face was upright, as if he was really not a faint monarch, but a bright monarch who spoke widely.

Zhu Youxiao used the words that blocked the way of speech to talk to these Donglin Party ministers, but he confused these Donglin Party ministers.

For a moment, they didn't know what to do.

Could it be that this is a violation of the ancestral system?

But this ancestral system does not say that it is impossible to run a newspaper.

Could it be that Zhu Youxiao competes with the people for profit?

But the ministers of the Donglin Party looked at the paper of the Shuntian Weekly and the printing quality of the Shuntian Weekly, and they could guess that the Shuntian Weekly could make money, which was also unlikely.

What's more, what is the use of the people for profit?

There was no such thing as a newspaper before, so what benefits did they add to the people?

These Donglin Party ministers felt an unprecedented setback.

But the officials of the Donglin Party are familiar with the classics, and naturally they are not vegetarians.

Soon, a few well-thought-out officials of the Donglin Party had already thought of countermeasures and began to quote scriptures.

But they didn't expect that they would be hit hard again this time.

Since the imperial court, Zhu Youxiao relied on the Xishan Incident to sweep away more than 200 Donglin Party criminals at once.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Youxiao selected a large number of new eunuch ministers from the six ministries in Nanjing, as well as from various places, to become officials in Beijing.

These ministers are much better than the waste that Wei Zhongxian cultivated before, who only knew how to flatter.

These ministers are also known as the new eunuchs, and they are very different from the old eunuchs before them.

The biggest difference between the two is that the new eunuchs have secretly accepted Zhu Youxiao's beating, and they know very well that their master is not Wei Zhongxian, but His Majesty today.

Grain rays

In a way, they were royalists.

Naturally, the literary accomplishment of the new eunuch party is not low.

When these officials of the Donglin Party came out to quote the scriptures, some of the newly appointed eunuch ministers also intended to show their faces in front of Zhu Youxiao, so they came out to fight with these officials and masters of the Donglin Party, and they did not fall behind at all.

This made the officials of the Donglin Party feel an unprecedented setback.

The official master of the Donglin Party relied on the words and swords above the court before, saying that the black was black, and the white was black.

This was originally the ability of their official master of the Donglin Party.

In normal times, eunuch ministers would not have been able to compete with them at all.

But now the way of the world has really changed, and they, the ministers from the Donglin Party, can't do the ministers of the Eunuch Party.

What an irony.

What's more, Zhu Youxiao's sentence that he couldn't block the way of speech originally occupied the righteousness.

No matter how much the officials of the Donglin Party quoted the scriptures, some of them were unstable, and after more than an hour of debate, they completely fell into disadvantage.

Seeing that the argument between the two sides was gradually coming to an end, at this time, Zhu Youxiao above spoke again.

"Okay, I don't know why, you Aiqing have been arguing for more than an hour, and it looks like you're almost right here."

"The merits of this matter, I believe that this Aiqing already has his own opinion in his heart, so there is no need to discuss this matter anymore."

"Of course, I also feel that what the ministers said is reasonable, and this newspaper really can't let such an important matter go unchecked."

"In that case, let's set up a special government office to govern these newspapers."

"In the future, if someone wants to run a newspaper, or say what content is reported on these newspapers, they must first report to this official office and pass the permission before they can be sold out."

"What do you think of this?"

The official master of the Donglin Party was not a fool, and he soon realized Zhu Youxiao's sinister intentions.

Zhu Youxiao is planning to cut off the way of their Donglin Party members running a newspaper.

But Zuo Du Yushi Cheng Zhengji just wanted to speak out to stop it, but when he saw Hui Shiyang, the young secretary of Dali Temple over there, he shook his head and stopped him from doing this.

Hui Shiyang has discovered that Zhu Youxiao is a plan at this time.

I'm afraid that Zhu Youxiao had already laid out the game at the beginning and deliberately led them to talk about this newspaper.

Before, they wanted Zhu Youxiao to ban this Shuntian weekly report, so Zhu Youxiao came out to speak with a blocked speech.

When they continued to propose to strengthen the control of newspapers, Zhu Youxiao once again proposed to set up an official office to control newspapers.

Now it is the serial set set set up by Zhu Youxiao, which can be regarded as trapping them.

They can't ban the Shuntian weekly newspaper now, but Zhu Youxiao has created an official office to control the newspaper, directly cutting off the way they want to run the newspaper.

Hui Shiyang personally came out and handed over his hand, and said to Zhu Youxiao above: "Your Majesty, since you have set up this official office to manage newspapers, I don't know which one Your Majesty wants to set up this official office underneath?" ”

This is what the official master of the Donglin Party really wants to grasp at this time.

Obviously, the other officials of the Donglin Party have also reacted.

Today, they must let this Zhu Youxiao set up this official office that controls the newspaper under the Ministry of Rites.
