Li Shi took the so-called newspaper, flipped through it slightly, and said with a smile: "What do you let the concubine read, the concubine is illiterate." But this newspaper is more interesting than the usual book.

You can see that some of the questions are marked in blue, and some are marked in red, which is very eye-catching. The text is in black, and it is written unconventionally.

You can see that there are gaps between some words, and there are some ink dots, which is a very intimate sentence break.

It is rare for the imperial court to be so intimate and pragmatic.

The concubine is illiterate, so she can only see these superficial things. ”

Yang Xun nodded: "The lady is right, that's exactly the case." This newspaper cost me a small silver dollar. ”

Hearing this, Li Shi gasped: "Why is it so expensive for just a few pieces of paper?" ”

Yang Xun replied: "The imperial court set up newspaper kiosks in various streets and squares, copied newspapers with large characters, and pasted them on the wall for the people to see. There are also court officials who are reading and explaining.

It doesn't cost money, but if you want to take a copy of the small print back home, you'll have to spend money to buy it.

The official said that this was the first issue of the newspaper, and it was all hand-copied, and there were only a few hundred copies in total. If you don't want money, everyone will go up and grab it, and it will be all gone. ”

"Why is the husband angry?"

Yang Xun snorted coldly: "This newspaper talks about the major events that have happened recently, such as the mutiny last month, the deposition of the empress dowager, the emperor's edict, and the treatment of the vassal kings, nobles, civil and military, military generals, and eunuchs who participated in the mutiny.

Don't say it, this newspaper is really useful, and after reading it, you can learn a lot of things that you didn't know before. And every word in it has a deep meaning, and it is worth spending a penny to buy a copy and study it carefully.

Don't look at a penny of silver, it seems to be expensive, but many servants of the noble families are rushing to buy it. I was lucky enough to grab one. ”

"Then why are you angry?"

Yang Xun replied: "You see, this newspaper said that many vassal kings, nobles, civil ministers, military generals, and eunuchs instigated Gong to let the emperor launch a mutiny, intending to hijack the current saint and seize the throne and restore it.

Behind is a large list of masterminds and accomplices.

Others are okay, I just fought for Yuan Bin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

When Gong let the emperor's car fall into the civil fort by mistake, it was Yuan Bin who was not afraid of hardships and dangers, did not avoid life and death, and followed closely to the left and right, and finally made Gong let the emperor avoid military disasters and return safely.

Now in this mutiny, it was Yuan Bin who loyally advised him to prevent Emperor Gong from launching a mutiny.

In the end, the emperor ordered someone to tie him up in a firewood room and block his tongue, so Yuan Bin did not participate in the mutiny.

But if you look at what is written in this newspaper, Yuan Bin is being imprisoned in Jinyiwei Prison and is still being interrogated.

When Zhongliang suffers this calamity, will no righteous man dare to stand up and speak for him? Although I have no official position and I don't know Yuan Bin, but when I see this injustice, I want to die of words. ”

"What is the husband going to do?"

"Write the music, beat the drum."

When Li Shi heard this, he was frightened, and he spilled his hand on the hot soup he was holding.

Yang Xun hurriedly stepped forward to check, but Li didn't care about the burns, and eagerly persuaded: "Husband, you can't, if you don't get it, you will also go to Jinyiwei Prison."

Besides, if we disobey the Holy Lord because of this, Long Yan will be angry, will our family still have a way to live? ”

Yang Xun shook his head firmly: "I have made up my mind, I will go to beat the Dengwen drum early tomorrow morning, and the lady does not need to persuade me again." If the lady is afraid of being implicated, she can go back to her parents' house now. ”

The husband and wife were entangled for a long time, and the Li family couldn't resist his man after all.

Early the next morning, the Dengwen drum, which had not moved in the capital for many years, was finally beaten.

Then Yang Xun held the music in his hand and knelt outside the Daming Gate, waiting for the emperor to summon him personally.

This time it was Wang Wen's turn and other ministers to have a headache. Among them, Wang Wen, Wei Ji, and Xue Xuan had the most headaches.

When this kind of thing happens, the chief officials of the three law divisions bear the brunt.

Wang Wen asked Wei Ji: "Old Wei, can we take it?" ”

Wei Ji asked rhetorically: "Is it okay not to take it?" ”

Wang Wen replied: "According to the imperial court system, once someone beats the drum, it must be summoned by the saint himself. We can also report directly to the Holy God without picking up the music.

It is up to the saint to decide whether to receive the meeting or not, if it is received, then Yang Xun will personally present it. ”

Wei Ji replied: "Let's take it, the people outside the Daming Gate are gathering more and more, and so many people are watching." Besides, you have to let the saint know the content of the song before you can decide what to do next. ”

So Wang Wen nodded, ordered someone to take Yang Xun's recital, and sent it to Ganquan Palace quickly, as for Yang Xun, he was ordered to go home and wait for a reply.

But Yang Xun refused to leave, still kneeling outside the Daming Gate, and thousands of people gathered around to watch the excitement.

In normal times, there may not be so many people. However, as soon as the emperor's newspaper came out, it aroused widespread concern among the people of the capital.

In the first issue of the main newspaper, it was the emperor's edict, the characterization and disposal of the mutiny, and a series of things such as the abolition of the vassal king and the feudal king, which made it difficult not to pay attention to it.

However, he said that Zhu Qiyu got up very early today, and after handling government affairs in Qingyun Pavilion, he was leaving He Yi, Gao Yao, and Wang Xian there to chat.

Then Yang Xun's recital was sent up.

Zhu Qiyu read it once, and couldn't help but be surprised: This is a bit terrible, there seems to be such a person as Yang Xun in history, Zhu Qizhen unloaded the mill and killed the donkey after the restoration, and imprisoned Yuan Bin in Jinyiwei Prison.

And Zhu Qizhen also created the famous saying: Let Ru rule, but return me with Yuan Bin.

That is, let you Jinyi Wei torture you, as long as you leave a breath for my life-saving benefactor Yuan Bin.

Then the painter Yang Xun ran to beat the Dengwen drum, wrote a piece of music for Yuan Bin to fight the grievances, and was also stuffed into the edict prison and beaten half to death.

Hey, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that what happened in history is still happening today. Although the times are different, Yang Xun still beat the Dengwen drum for Yuan Bin.

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while, and then handed the song to He Yi. He Yi looked at it and handed it to Gao Yao again.

After several people watched it, Zhu Qiyu asked, "What do you say should be done?" ”

Wang Xian replied: "According to the imperial court system, the Holy One still needs to meet in person. Otherwise, the people will have doubts, and public opinion will be unfavorable to the saints. ”

Gao Yao retorted: "But Yang Xun should have gone home to be called, but he still knelt outside the Daming Gate, obviously suspected of forcing the palace."

If it is easily allowed, everyone will follow the same example in the future, and where will it be placed in the Holy Place? ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled and nodded: "Xingyi, what do you say?" ”

He Yi also replied with a smile: "Although the imperial court system stipulates that those who beat the drums must be personally received by the emperor. However, the Holy One does not necessarily have to see him in person, as long as he gives a satisfactory answer, he can withdraw the appeal of the Holy Saint himself. ”

Gao Yao asked: "Then he is suspected of forcing the palace, how to solve this?" As soon as this example is opened, any random person will beat the Dengwen drum, and then kneel outside the Daming Gate, is it over? ”

He Yi said with a smile: "The charges of Jin Ying and Xing'an have been concluded, and the three law divisions have been officially convicted, so they will be executed." ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Well, that's right, I remember that the Criminal Department has already reported the execution list, and I have temporarily suppressed it."

Fetch the list, and I'll give them a verdict right away. ”

When Wang Xian heard this, he immediately went to get the list, and with a wave of Zhu Qiyu's royal pen, he put an end to the two great eunuchs who had been prominent for a while.

At this time, Gao Yao also figured out that his fellow countryman and predecessor He Daxue was ruthless enough, didn't Yang Xun just beat a drum and kneel outside the Daming Gate, you had to Ling Chi the two big eunuchs in front of others.

Even if Yang Xun is bold and not afraid of this kind of bloody scene, the eunuch's shrill voice, where he is being screamed while being Ling Chi, is also more piercing.

Zhu Qiyu didn't care about this, but smiled at everyone: "The newspaper is more successful than I imagined." It's just the first issue, and there is such a response.

I also thought about the theme of the second issue, so I talked about opening the sea ban and going to the Western Ocean.

So far, what do these things have to do with ordinary people?

Tell them that the court will not accumulate too much wealth in its own hands. Once the Western trade generates abundant income, I will gradually reduce the domestic commercial tax and reduce the tariff card. ”

Wang Xian asked curiously, "What does the Holy Lord mean is that once the income from overseas trade increases, he will take the initiative to reduce the domestic commercial tax, so as to keep the total income of the imperial court stable?" ”

"Yes, for example, through overseas trade, you can earn three million taels of silver a year.

Then I will reduce the commercial tax by one million in the country.

When the commercial tax is reduced, the people can buy cheaper goods.

With fewer checkpoints, goods can circulate more widely.

Let's not talk about remote places, let's just talk about Jingshi, this is the first good district of the Ming Dynasty, you see how the city collects business taxes.

I'll take you out in two days, and you'll know. It's disgusting to death, and if you're a businessman, you'll scold your mother.

When the time comes, you'll know that I'm definitely not having a hot head, let alone a convulsion. ”
