Folk tabloids, the Northern Song Dynasty has become a climate, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, it has developed to the peak.

During the Jingkang period, the Northern Song Dynasty perished, the Song dynasty crossed to the south, and the Jin people won the Central Plains.

Due to the unfavorable war, the official court newspaper issued by the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the Di Bao, had little to do with side affairs, and the court movements were rarely mentioned. The newspapers were confined to the scholars and the bureaucracy, and the scholars controlled public opinion, and it was difficult for ordinary people to know about the war in the court and outside. Therefore, the "tabloids" have become even more popular and have become the "favorites" of ordinary people.

When it comes to the "tabloids" in Lin'an, the content covers a wide range of topics, including major events inside and outside the imperial court, as well as people's livelihood and suffering, anecdotes, and even hidden diseases in the palace, bans in officials' homes, and scandals, all of which are presented in the form of "news" in these tabloids. The Southern Song Dynasty court repeatedly banned it for reasons such as "writing orders and spreading incidents in vain", but it was often reduced to a dead letter, with little effect, and in the end it could only be left alone.

Tonghefang, the west bridgehead of Nanwa Bridge, the gathering place of the bookstore.

A few giant willows in front of the door, a two-story restaurant with carved beams and paintings, a spacious lobby on the first floor, and a corridor on the second floor are all full of people drinking tea and eating, rich businessmen, powerful gentlemen, ladies from the gate, and small jasper, who are listening attentively to the speaker reading the tabloids.

Yes, not to tell a story, but to read an article in the tabloids.

“…… One day Tatar Khan asked his ministers, what is the happiest thing in life? Answer: Riding a horse in spring, the fist eagle and falcon went out to hunt, and saw it fighting for prey. Si is the happiest. Khan asked the generals this experience, and the generals replied in the same way. Tatar Khan said: No! The greatest joy in life is to defeat the enemy, chase the enemy, and take all of it; Seeing his dearest people wash their faces with tears; ride his horse, and accept his wife and daughter. ”

The speaker, Han Fuzi, read it carefully, and there was a person with a fat head and big ears and a brocade costume in the seat, and suddenly asked.

"Master Han, what do you mean by the Tatars?"

Most of the "speakers" of the Song Dynasty were the fallen scholars of Sun Mountain, and they operated this "cheap business" in order to make a living, which made the "cheap industry" more elegant.

The fat man's question caused a burst of laughter from the diners in the audience. Immediately someone spoke out loud.

"The meaning of the Tatarhu chieftain is to pursue and defeat his enemies, to take all his gold and silver treasures, to make his relatives cry every day, and to take his wife and daughter as his wife!"

The fat man suddenly realized and shook his head again and again.

"Tartar is really a tiger and wolf, even a person would not be like this!"

Everyone nodded. If you can control the invasion of the mausoleum, how can you kill more? How is it different from beasts to kill excessively like this, to bully wives and daughters?

"Ladies and gentlemen, Tatars are in Mobei, they don't know etiquette and morality, killing and conquering are their nature, and men are proud of their killing and military exploits, which is completely different from my Great Song Dynasty."

"Speaker" Han Fuzi pointed to the north, and said in a loud voice:

"The Tatar cavalry came and went like the wind, the soldiers were in full swing, and the Jin people were driven to the south of the Yellow River, which shows that they are invincible. Na Xixia has repeatedly compromised and sought perfection, and in the end, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape the scourge of destroying the country and destroying the species. ”

"Fortunately, the Tatars are dealing with the Western Xia and Jin people, not our Song people!"

A young diner spoke up.

"Destroy the Western Xia, and then level the Jin people, and then the Great Song Dynasty will be next!"

Another white-haired diner was worried and sober.

The diners were chattering, and Han Fuzi picked up the "amazing wood" and gently slapped it twice on the table in front of him.

"Everyone, listen to me go on!"

The upstairs and downstairs listeners suddenly fell silent.

Han Fuzi is a well-known "speaker" in Lin'an City, with a large audience, and is famous for telling folk anecdotes and strange things.

Unexpectedly, Han Fuzi talked about the profound things of "Tatar Policy" today.

“…… The Tatar army has a large number of cavalry, and a soldier with many horses, and can carry out expeditions and plunder without logistical supplies: so they can run rampant in the Western Regions, move quickly, and destroy countless countries, and those who cannot stop it......"

Han Fuzi said slowly, and most of the listeners understood seven or eight points.

The Tatar iron cavalry crisscrossed the country, living on plunder, and without logistical supplies, of course, there were no scruples.

"During the expedition, the Tatars recuperated for several months each year. Before conquering a city, they must first ravage the land around it, so that it cannot defend itself, and then they will rest their armies with what they have plundered. Most of the captives taken by the envoys were men and women who had been spared because of their young and beautiful appearance...... There are thousands of young women in the army for their toys......"

Han Fuzi explained in detail.

"Think about it, if the Tatars besiege Lin'an, they will first sweep away the towns around Lin'an, burn down the houses, and rob all the food and young women. Lin'an City has no food or drink, and it is impossible to continue, and it will inevitably be self-defeating. ”

The audience was shocked and nodded their heads again and again.

"In order to keep a little land, the Tatars did not hesitate to slaughter their people, destroy their castles, annihilate those who did not surrender and rebels, destroy their water conservancy, and sprinkle salt on their fertile land, thinking that they were barren land......"

When Han Fuzi said it one by one, all the listeners were shocked.

"No wonder the Tatars were able to drive the Jin people south of the Yellow River, and the Western Xia survived. Tatar is so powerful, can my Great Song be able to stop it? ”

"Hold off a fart! The generals of the Tatars were all fought on horseback, and the generals of my Great Song Dynasty were all tested for making a fuss. Shi Miyuan's guys, in addition to groveling and begging for peace with the Jinren, are committing fraud and accepting bribes. The Great Song Dynasty relied on him, and it was strange if it wasn't finished! ”

"Who says it isn't! In the fifteenth year of Jiading, there was a conflict between the official army and the Tatars in the south, half of the imperial court officers and soldiers fled, half surrendered, and all were beheaded! Can you count on such a wreck? ”

The listeners exchanged heads, some shook their heads and sighed, and some scolded indignantly.

However, this tabloid, with its familiarity with side affairs and thorough analysis, can be described as a three-point study.

"Is this the end? In addition to the Western Xia and Jin Kingdom, there is also my Great Song Dynasty himself, why didn't he say it? ”

A listener shouted.

How the officials and troops of the Great Song Dynasty responded was what they were most concerned about.

"I'm sorry, guys! This is the first issue, it is serialized, and there is a second issue, a third issue, let's wait and see. ”

Han Fuzi said with a smile.

"Master Han, who wrote this, and why are you so familiar with Tatar?"

A listener asked curiously.

"Do you need to ask? What is written in the tabloid is clearly His Royal Highness Zhao Hong, the Duke of Jeguo. ”

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness! No wonder you can write such a good article! ”

"Jiguo Gong Zhao Hong is a master of poetry, and he is a dignified son, and he is familiar with side affairs. The article he wrote, of course, will not be bad! ”

The audience suddenly realized and began to discuss.

"Master Han, is there anything new in today's tabloids?"

The fat man was bored again, and opened his mouth to ask.

"Yes, if there are any strange things, tell them!"

"Are there any forbidden anecdotes?"

The audience spoke. In fact, most of them have tabloids, but the picture is the enjoyment and fun of this "talking".

"Everyone, there is a "news" about Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, and I will read it to you. ”

Han Fuzi said, picked up the tabloid and read it.

"It is rumored that the night before the birth of Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, his father dreamed that a man wearing a purple coat and a golden hat came to visit. When I woke up, the night leak had not arrived for ten minutes, and the room was colorful and brilliant, and the red light was shining on the sky, like the middle of the sun. Three days after Zhao Guicheng was born, his family heard the rumbling sound of cars and horses outside the house, and went out to check, but there was no vision. Zhao Guicheng used to sleep during the day when he was a child, and when others saw him, there were faint dragon scales on him......"

Han Fuzi's words made everyone surprised. This news has been circulating in Lin'an City for several months.

When such an "old news" came out, everyone was in an uproar and scolded one after another.

"This tabloid is too lacking in morality, and the old news is still used to cheat money!"

"Why did you take it out again?"

The diners expressed their dissatisfaction, but Han Fuzi was unmoved, and said with a smile:

"Ladies and gentlemen, you say this is an old saying. But when we say it today, do you believe it? ”

"Only fools believe it! With dragon scales on our bodies, I really think we are fools! ”

Among the diners, someone said loudly, causing a burst of echo from everyone.

"A scoundrel, I really think I am a real dragon emperor! Phew! ”

"Master Han, hurry up, let's talk about the next one!"

The diners urged Han Fuzi one after another.

"Don't worry, you haven't finished reading this "old news", and there are still below, see if it's the same as what you think? ”

Han Fuzi smiled slightly, and waited for his voice to be a little quieter, and then continued to read.

"From ancient times to the present, without lights, the night can be colorful, red light illuminates the sky? If this is the case, what is the day and night? Isn't it a great fallacy? The world is so big, I haven't heard of a person with dragon scales on his body, is Zhao Guicheng an adult? Isn't this taking the people of the world for idiots? ”

Han Fuzi's words made everyone burst into laughter.

"Didn't I just say, Zhao Guicheng has dragon scales on his body, isn't it a monster?"

"It's still bright at night, is there a fire in the house?"

The diners spoke one after another, and some people shouted loudly with righteous indignation.

"Traitor, traitor! Someone wants to push Zhao Guicheng to the top, and his heart can be punished! The official family has a prince! ”

"If Zhao Guicheng can take the position, it can only be Shi Miyuan's traitor!"

"It seems that the traitorous minister is in charge, and the prince is in trouble!"

The listener with a little brain has already guessed eight or nine.

"That's what everyone said! That's all for the court. The following is a new poem by Zhao Hong, a family at home, called "Autumn Thoughts". Listen up, everybody! ”

Han Fuzi was full of emotion and recited it.

"Withered vines and old trees, faint crows, small bridges and flowing water, ancient roads and west wind thin horses. The sun is setting, and the heartbroken man is at the end of the world. ”

In fact, even when he himself read this word, he felt like he was returning to his hometown to visit his relatives.

"What a song "Autumn Thoughts"! Sure enough, it is the twilight of the day, and the door is stopped, which is sad! ”

"The difficulty of traveling, the sadness of life, the bitterness in one word. Sure enough, it's a masterpiece that doesn't come out of the world! ”

Someone's curiosity killed the cat and asked out loud.

"Master Han, this is a masterpiece of the world, dare to ask which one made it?"

"Didn't you say it just now, this is a new work by Jiguo Gong Zhao Hong, what do you think?"

Han Fuzi smiled and said loudly.

"It's Jiguo Gong Zhao Hong again, and it's really everyone in the world!"

This word is deeply suffering from wandering, and when you read it from all over the world, you can't help but miss your relatives and friends. It can be a famous story for the ages! ”

Many of the diners were uprooted from their hometowns, and they immediately tasted the desolation and loneliness in it.

"I still like the song "Linjiang Immortal", especially the sentence "The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times"! Heroic and free-spirited, tragic and open-minded, it really suits my heart! ”

There is a man with a gun and a knife in his crotch, and he can't help but say.

"I think it's still the song "Qinyuan Spring. Snow! Heroic and majestic, guiding the country is the lifelong ambition of our boys! ”

There are also personable students who express the emotions in their chests.

"Jiguo Gong Zhao Hong is so talented, if he can publish a book of poems, it will be a blessing for readers all over the world."

There was a man sitting in the corner, shouting loudly.

The diners were talking, and Han Fuzi smiled slightly and patted the "talking wood".

"Which one just said it right! With the talent of Jiguo Gong, it is difficult to meet our ardent expectations if I don't publish a book. However, I heard that Ji Guogong is going to publish the "Anthology of Poems" and the book "Tatar Strategy" recently, and he will also read it at the largest Chen bookstore in Lin'an City. Let's pay attention to the tabloids these days! ”

Han Fuzi's words made everyone talk about each other.

Zhao Hong is a master of poetry, and this "Tatar Policy" is also well-founded, and the books that come out will definitely not be bad.

"Everyone, we'll see you tomorrow!"

Han Fuzi smiled and patted the "amazing wood".

Everyone dispersed, Han Fuzi returned to the tea shed, and the shopkeeper of the tea shed came over and handed over a money bag.

"Master Han, that's a good point, thank you!"

"Thank you to the shopkeeper!"

Han Fuzi took the money bag and smiled.

He got a lot of money, which was more than he could earn in a month.

Han Fuzi left with his hand, and the shopkeeper went up to the second floor, knocked on the door and entered, and then closed the door.

In the room, Zhou Ping was drinking tea, and when he saw the shopkeeper coming in, he nodded slightly.

"Shopkeeper, bother!"

I have to say that today's public opinion is becoming more and more favorable to Zhao Hong.
