The Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu.

Xue Bai was finally busy with the errand of the Taile Department and was bathing.

In the jade-paved pool, Qinglan was rubbing his hair and chattering.

"Mrs. Qiu Guo said that her Lishan Beiye also has a hot spring pool, but it is comfortable, even more comfortable than this

Serve, and said that I should soak it when the time comes, presumably to bluff me, right? After a while, I have to remember to put away Lang Jun's change of clothes, and I can't forget it when I set off.......

"She asked you to call her 'Yao Niang', and you call it. ”

"Then how presumptuous I am."

Xue Bai looked sideways and saw that Qinglan's hair was wet and her eyes were bright, and he was very much looking forward to the trip to Lishan.

This made him look forward to it a little too.

Before he got out of the bath, Mingzhu called outside: "Xue Lang, the slave has come in." ”

"Hmm."

Qing Lan was so frightened that she hurriedly hugged her hands and curled up like a shrimp, although she was still wearing profane clothes.

Mingzhu didn't look at her, and said to Xue Bai: "Something happened, there is a complaint in the imperial history, calling Xue Lang and Yao Niang....... Not innocent. Yao Niang is losing her temper, whether Xue Lang is going to appease her. ”

"Okay."

Xue Bai immediately guessed what was going on.

He had expected that those who were staring at the newspaper house were already keenly aware of the opportunity to deal with him.

Today's complaint reminded him repeatedly, so that the saint had a bad feeling for the simple sister-brother friendship between him and the Yang family; Tomorrow he will make a complaint, so that the saint will suspect that he will construct King Qing; If you sue him again the day after tomorrow, you will be accused of being Li Yingyu's party.

Walking through the corridor, I heard Yang Yuyao losing her temper in the hall.

"Which long-tongued ghost is meddling?!"

Officials' Department, Public Housing.

Chen Xilie picked up the tea soup and blew, took a sip, and sighed: "Chang'an City is really full of rumors, and there are all kinds of things. ”

Du Youlin can't say anything else, but he pretends to be confused but is a good hand, and wonders: "I don't know what rumors there are?" ”

"It's all about romance."

Chen Xilie stroked his long beard, looking like a decent gentleman, and after waiting for a while, he saw that Du Youlin was at a loss and couldn't speak, so he had to speak.

"It is said that the step-concubine Xu of King Xu had an affair with the concubine Zhang Po, and it is also said that she had an affair with King Xu or King Xue;

It is said that Zhang We had an affair with Princess Tangchang and gave birth to a child. ”

"What?" Du Youlin was scalded by the tea soup and hurriedly wiped the table.

"The world is going down." Chen Xilie shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Some people also say that Xue Bai had an affair with Mrs. Qiuguo. ”

"That's right...... I've heard of it for a long time. ”

Having said that, Xue Bai is now on the cusp, and the old man heard another great rumor today. said yes, Xue Bai had already colluded with King Qing, and he knew in advance that King Qing's son was going to be the secretary and supervisor, so he first paved the way for this, speculated and used the holy will. ”

"Ahem, ahem, where did Zuo Xiang hear this?"

"I heard it from the Right Prime Minister's Office."

After that, Chen Xilie's face sank, this was already a clear threat-"Xue Bai is not honest anymore, and the right minister is about to make a move." ”

Only he heard the rumors of the Xu family, and the rumors next to him were all released by him, in order to deter Xue Bai.

Du Youlin's face changed drastically, as if he was on pins and needles.

"King Qing has already adopted the son of the abolished prince, once Xue Bai gets involved in this matter, it will be very troublesome."

Chen Xilie sighed, "He is the old man's subordinate, and the old man really wants to protect him." Think about it and release it as soon as possible. ”

"That, Chang'an County Lieutenant ........"

"Still thinking about the county lieutenant of Chang'an? Out of Beijing, out of Beijing. ”

Chen Xilie shouted, "Jiang Ningcheng is such a good forehead, Wangxian County, a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, a happy place for the Qinhuai River, and a merry residence in Wuyi Lane, he is still picky, and if he hesitates, he will be robbed by others." ”

Du Youlin was stunned by the bluff, but unfortunately he still couldn't be the master, and finally remembered and said: "I'd rather be the captain of Chigi than the county of Wang." ”

Chen Xilie also knew that this was a rumor, raised his hand and scolded: "I really don't know what to do." If you really want to be the lieutenant of Ki County. The five counties of Taigu, Wenshui, Yuci, Yuxian, and Jiaocheng near the northern capital, choose one county to play, and the old man will find a way to get the right to criticize.

Du Youlin's momentum had been completely defeated, but he was still relaying it by rote, saying: "Only choose Chigi County, Jingzhao Prefecture." ”

"Think beautifully." Chen Xilie said: "The old man wants to protect him, if he is not in a hurry, let him go." ”

Du Youlin was anxious, and after getting off the office, he sent Du Wulang to ask Xue Bai if he wanted to release him as soon as possible, but it really didn't work, so he chose a lieutenant from Taiyuan and then sought a promotion in the future.

But Du was at home, sitting in the study trimming his nails, and said: "Grandpa is confused, Taiyuan is far away, if he goes." Brother Nu can easily manipulate his skills, as the days go by, the saint's favor fades, and the Yang sisters are also estranged, what future does he have? ”

So Du Wulang didn't go, and he didn't go either.

"Go and ask." Du Youlin urged: "It's always right to ask. ”

Du Wulang went to go and came back and said: "Xue Bai said, don't pay attention to the old things, and wait for him to come back from Lishan to seek a release."

"Really?" Du Youlin had been talking to Du Shi about his reaction, and when he saw that everything was as his daughter expected, he couldn't help but wonder: "What are you doing with these questions?" ”

"Ask and play." Du Shi looked at his nails and said casually: "Look at the attitude of the government and the opposition." ”

She doesn't plan to leave any flaws, so she can only see what Zuo Xiang says, and then help spread Zuo Xiang's meaning in advance.

The moon is sinking and rising, the rumors of Chang'an City are continuous, and by the middle of June, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and all the affairs of the Qing Palace have been prepared.

Li Longji rarely took a little time to deal with the affairs of the clan today, suspended the feast, leaned in the Nanxun Palace, looked at the latest Wencui Newspaper, still held a small pen in his hand, and wrote a few comments from time to time.

It's strange about this, he asked him to review it, he didn't want to review it, but he was happy to review it when it was replaced by this article.

"General Gao, you see, there are masters in the market, this work "Wang Zhaojun's Variations" poems are eight poems, like a story, but rare, can be described as a history of poetry." The concubine died in the period of death, and hated the family to recruit the soul', the poet is also ...... Ye Ping, I seem to have read his poems last time. ”

"Sage." Gao Lishi said in a low voice: "The rumors have been found out, and they came from the newspaper." ”

"Newspapers?"

Li Longji was surprised and said, "It's Xue Bai's little ghost?" ”

He first flipped through the Wen Cui Bao in his hand, and then flipped through the Di Bao that he hadn't had time to read, and said, "No." ”

"It's this newspaper."

Colliers bowed down and handed another newspaper to the Imperial Front.

Li Longji looked at it and saw the four big characters "Tianbao Shiwen" written on it, and he couldn't help but be surprised. took a look, and at this time, there was not much content, only a few Liao Liao.

The first publication was the death of the heir Xu Wang Li Huang, which led to several romantic incidents, speculating that Li Huang's stepwife Xu had an affair with Zhang We, and then said that the heir Li Zhen also had an affair with Xu, but I don't know who the biological father of Li Xuan's son is.

The second story said that Zhang We had an affair with Princess Tangchang, and even had a son in his early years.

The next article said that Xue Bai, the champion of the new department, had an affair with Mrs. Yuguo, and it was not only the face of an overnight joy, but also a deep-rooted love, and almost got married.

That is, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty, so that they dare to discuss the affairs of these ministers and nobles in public. After all, the Wu Zhou Dynasty and the current dynasty have more jaw-dropping ugly things.

Li Longji took the trouble to watch it, and he didn't know whether to be angry or laughing.

"It's not a secretary's provincial journal."

"How does the saint know?"

"It's too different." Li Longji said: "First of all, the paper is made of bamboo paper made in a folk workshop, and it is not long enough, the paper is brittle, and the ink is different. In addition, General Gao can find out that this is an engraving. There is no staggering between the messages, and the font is large and unsightly...... Also, you see, these words are simplified. ”

Gao Lishi looked at it, and sure enough, he found that this newspaper cut corners, and only Xu Wang Li Huang died, and the publication was "Xu Wang Li Guan's Death", which was shoddy.

"The saint is truly wise."

"Someone imitated the newspaper and published some eye-catching things, if I guessed correctly, this one is not cheap."

"Ten dollars a piece, non-official honorable families will not buy it."

"Only officials and nobles love to see these."

Gao Lishi said: "Actually, few people watch. ”

After that, he presented several new tabloids, a few more elaborate, some crude, and most of them hand-copied.

Among them, there is also a book called "Pearl Birthmark", which tells the story of Xu and Li Zhen, saying that at the banquet where Li Huang married Xu as his stepconcubine, Xu fell in love with the handsome and dashing Li Zhen. Because Li Qian could not have children, Li Zhen and the Xu family had a private plan to have a son and heir, King Xu.....

The writing of this story is quite gorgeous, and after reading it, Li Longji actually felt a little aftertaste.

He thought about it and found that there were some details that were indeed in line with Li Huang's experience, and he couldn't help frowning.

"This also sells for money?"

"Yes, this one has the highest price, twenty yuan a piece, but many people buy it."

"This is treating public opinion as a business. Presumably, in addition to selling, newspaper vendors make more money from well-intentioned people. ”

"The meaning of the sage, is someone bribing a private book and newspaper dealer?"

"Not bad."

Li Longji snorted coldly, and then looked at the next newspaper, and suddenly his face sank.

Because there is a news that "the writing of books, the opening of museums, and the publication of newspapers for the benefit of the country are all from King Qing", which is very abrupt and discordant in a lot of romantic affairs.

Zhengjue was dissatisfied, he turned his eyes, and thought that if Xue Bai really helped King Qing's heart, why not write after Li Li took over?

He then picked up the copy of "Tianbao Shiwen" and said: "Yesterday, there was an imperial history impeaching Xue Bai, and Shilang deliberately handed the excerpt to me, just because of these folk miscellaneous newspapers? ”

"The old slave doesn't know, come to think of it, maybe the matter is really the reason why there will be this miscellaneous report and impeachment, right?"

"Is that true?

Gao Lishi replied embarrassedly: "It shouldn't be, at least the character of King Heiqi and Zhang Juma is trustworthy."

"Find out who's spreading the rumors."

"Yes."

"Summoning Zhang Pai, Li Zhen, Xue Bai and others to meet him."

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister didn't." Li Zhen read the miscellaneous reports, and immediately looked solemn, and said: "The relationship between the minister and the Xu family is innocent. ”

Zhang Po was the same, and responded: "Back to Your Majesty, there is no such thing, the minister is innocent." ”

Xue Bai saw it, and said in a similar way: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister will never have such a thing." ”

Gao Lishi said: "If you are innocent, why are there such rumors? ”

Li Zhen didn't want to provoke these things, but he didn't expect things to get entangled, so he felt bad luck and responded: "If you let the minister guess, it was Li Mu who caused people to spread rumors and slander the innocence of the Xu family in order to seize the throne of King Xu." ”

"Does the king really want to testify against the king?"

"Yes."

"Why is Li Mu like this?" Li Longji asked lightly: "I have promised him to pass on a son to my brother's name. ”

Xue Bai said: "Back to Your Majesty, when the minister was chatting, he said that he would stop Li Mu from acting, and he heard it. ”

"Nonsense."

Li Longji scolded, looked at Xue Bai again, and knew that Xue Bai had also offended Li Mu.

Gao Lishi looked at Zhang Po and Xue Bai again, and asked, "How did your rumors come from?"

Zhang Pai said: "It must be because the king of praise is trying to confuse the public, and the minister has a lot of sympathy for the Xu family at the funeral, which makes him jealous." ”

Xue Bai said: "The same is true of the ministers. ”

"Xue Bai, you know the newspaper best, and you also think that Li Mu did it?"

"I don't know." Xue Bai said: "The minister thinks that these popular newspapers are too shoddy, and it is not appropriate to be so innocent and innocent of women." Please ask Your Majesty to allow the minister to send another report to the public. ”

Li Longji planned to arrest and severely punish all these people who published newspapers, and after listening to what Xue Bai said, he muttered: "You go first." ”

"Yes."

Li Longji said: "You can bring these miscellaneous reports back and give me a good reflection!" ”

"The ministers know their mistakes, and the ministers obey the order."

The three courtiers retreated, and Chen Xuanli had already hurried over and whispered a few words to Li Longji.

"The source of the folk newspaper is still being traced, but the minister has found out some other things, and there are some unsightly things in the 'plain' mansion of King Xu...."

When Li Longji heard this, his face was ugly, and he said: "Summon the Xu family and his two sons to meet him, and then summon Li Ying to wait for the meeting." ”

With a "snap", Li Linfu smashed a stack of newspapers in front of Chen Xilie.

"The people in the market can print it, but you can't control the newspaper institute with this minister?"

"Right Minister, these are two different things, you look at how shoddy this issue is. It's nothing more than some booksellers who see that it is profitable and publish some casually. ”

Chen Xilie's face was full of bitterness, he picked up a copy of "Tianbao Shiwen" and looked at it, his eyes were fixed, and he scolded: "This dog thief also copied the rumors I released." ”

Li Linfu became more and more angry, and ordered: "Check, find out who is receiving these things from others." ”

This was not said to Chen Xilie.

Chen Xilie responded: "Right Minister, how to investigate this matter?" If you let the sixteen guards of the southern yaya disturb the people, can you think that the saint has ordered the northern yaya to secretly investigate this matter? ”

"What do you mean?"

"Private newspapers, a copy of ten dollars is difficult to get back, how many people are willing to spend money to buy? This matter is not profitable, and naturally it cannot last long. What's more, this matter has nothing to do with the right minister, so why should the right minister be troubled? ”

The reason why Chen Xilie persuaded him was also for a reason, and he added a sentence in a low voice, saying: "The book and newspaper merchant has received the benefits of whom, and the right minister clearly knows, why bother to mobilize the public?" ”

Li Linfu asked: "Li Mu wants his son to be the heir to the king, and the sage has already agreed, why did he draw a snake to add to it?"

"I must have been frightened by the boasting of Li Zhen and others."

Chen Xilie said: "Since the funeral, I think the Xu family is very dignified. Li Miao estimated that if he couldn't sit on the Xu family and steal people, he would not be able to keep the throne of King Xu sooner or later, in case the two children grew up, the saint felt like it again.

"Stupid, Li Yu accused Li Zhen of cheating, but the saint wants to summon those two children into the palace again." Li Linfu said: "It's self-defeating. ”

Chen Xilie smiled: "Why should the right minister pay attention to him? It's none of our business, it's up to him. ”

Li Linfu frowned and said, "No one is allowed to manipulate public opinion. ”

"Rumors are no different from the newspapers themselves, they are nothing more than word of mouth or pen and paper. As soon as the official report came out, the coffin was closed. ”

As he spoke, Chen Xilie handed over the copy of "Tianbao Shiwen" and said, "The important thing is that these rumors should make Xue Bai feel dangerous. If the right minister can release him as Jiang Ningcheng or the lieutenant of Taiyuangi County, he can be transferred out of the newspaper institute.

"There's no hurry." Li Linfu said lightly.

"Yes." Chen Xilie smiled and responded, "Let this shaft be anxious."

The two prime ministers then stopped talking about the matter, and instead talked about the selection of the new secretary and supervisor, which was what Li Linfu really cared about.

After a long time, Cangbi hurriedly came and said, "Ah Lang, the sage has personally issued an order."

"Hurry up and greet you."

Li Linfu whispered to someone from the palace for a long time before reading the holy decree.

Chen Xilie peeked over, only to see that the face with a rigid expression became more and more solemn.

"Right phase?"

"The secretary ministry has been split into three." Li Linfu sighed and said, "The sage decreed that another Hongwen Hall should be set up for students to borrow books; The Newspaper Institute was also spun off from the Ministry of Secretaries, and for the time being, it was still published by Xue Bai. ”

"What?" Chen Xilie was like a mourner, his heart ached abnormally, and he asked, "Can ......?"

"Li Mu is a stupid person, he wants to use the people's newspaper to hold public opinion hostage, and he has been counterattacked." Li Linfu said, "The sage has let Li Jie, the son of Li Qiang, inherit King Xu." ”

"Why so suddenly?"

"Li Miao even sent someone to King Xu's mansion to create false testimony, which was verified by the Northern Ya."

"He's so confused!"

How so?

Li Linfu said: "I thought that the sage said that these two children did not look alike, but they had seen them." In fact, it was Li Mu who bullied the king, using the sage to say that "the age difference between father and son is too big" to create momentum, so that everyone did not dare to come forward. As a result, as soon as this newspaper came out, it aroused public anger, and Li Ying was a repeat offender, and no one believed him anymore.

As he spoke, he frowned and thought of a possibility.

Li Mu is so stupid that he can think of bribing book and newspaper dealers? It's better to just spread the rumors, and the saint won't be so angry.

Looking at the results again, this matter is very confusing.

After that, Li Linfu shook his head again, and said in his heart that Xue Bai did not gain in this matter, but lost some holy dependents, and the same was true for others...... Then it can only be attributed to Li Mu being too stupid.

The sage was furious, and re-demoted Li Miao to the Duke of Yingguo, and dismissed him from the posts of Shangzhu State, Zong Zhengqing, and the palace supervisor. ”

Chen Xilie was stunned and muttered, "In this way, there are two more vacant positions for the position of public secretary?" ”

"Yes, this is the result of the concerted efforts of the kings, and there is nothing to be done."

Li Linfu rolled up the newspaper in his hand, clapped his palms gently, and patted more and more urgently, and the more he patted, the more anxious he became.

"Don't care about the sidelines, you must take the newspaper institute first!"

As he spoke, he paced anxiously for a few steps and said, "You go and ask Xue Bai again, what position do you want to put outside, if it is not too much, this phase will consider it." ”

Chen Xilie hadn't figured it out yet, so he couldn't help but doubt: "Right Minister, there is still ........ the whole thing"

"Why don't you go yet?!" Li Linfu snorted hurriedly, "Can you afford to delay?!"
