After Dong Guangyuan entered the palace to meet the saint, he returned to the posthouse for a hasty meal, and then began to prepare the layout and content design of the first issue of the Beijing News.

The more he thought about the emperor's instructions, the more he admired them, especially the determination of the date of the Ming Dynasty National Day. Since ancient times, National Day has mostly been celebrated when the new emperor ascends the throne, or when a major event occurs in the country, and only after the emperor issues an edict can people celebrate with him.

National Day. Now that the national birthday has been determined, the Beijing News published an announcement to the world. From then on, it became a fixed festival in the Ming Dynasty. Once this National Day is imprinted in the hearts of the people, the people of the Ming Dynasty will definitely be united as never before, and the Ming Dynasty will also

It will exude unparalleled cohesion!

Half a month later, the printed Beijing News was gradually published across the country, telling the world!

In Yanling County, Henan Province, students of Wei Zhang, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, who had previously been impeached by Han Junyan, the newly appointed Minister of War, were setting up stages to give lectures in various teahouses in the city, where there was a large flow of people.

In their view, although Wei Zhang was suspected by the emperor, dismissed from his post and investigated, and the capital had fallen. But they had been Wei Zhang's proud student before, and they must keep Wei Zhang's reputation as a clean figure at all costs!

We must let the people of the world understand that their teacher is worthy of the country and the people! He was slandered by the traitors in the court and suspected by the emperor for the sake of the country and the people. He is a clean figure in the court, and he should be named

Leave a lasting legacy!

"I think of my teacher Wei Zhang, who is knowledgeable, virtuous and respected. He was also a Jinshi. Such a person should have used all his talents to assist the emperor to achieve great achievements and benefit the people! Just because he did not join in the treacherous ministers in the court, his political views were inconsistent.

Once, he was impeached and investigated! Your Majesty so listened to the words of the eunuch and the traitorous ministers, did not distinguish between right and wrong, and confused right and wrong. It really hurt the hearts of scholars all over the world!"

The man who said these words was a scholar in green shirt. He had been setting up a stall in the largest teahouse in Yanling County for three days to give lectures. The Zhengdan Festival had just ended, and the people in Yanling County had nothing to do at home. I heard that there were scholars there.

This talk was about the recent major events in the capital, so people gathered to join in the fun.

The owner of this teahouse in Yanling County also said that the scholars are very happy to receive them, not for anything else but the traffic they bring. Hey! I have to say, although I can’t understand the murmurs of these poor scholars

What are you talking about, but as soon as these scholars come, there will definitely be a group of people following them, and the business of the teahouse is booming these days!

Perhaps it is because the scholar in blue shirt has been giving lectures for three consecutive days. Today, more people are watching and listening to the lecture than in the previous days. Many people also shed tears after listening to the scholar in green shirt’s touching speech. They lamented the great changes in the world in the past two years.

The talented people who were loyal and dedicated to rejuvenating the country were not recognized. What's more, after drinking a few sips of wine and getting a little drunk, he actually defended Wei Zhang and cursed that the emperor had not grown up yet and was a wet baby!

As soon as these words came out, the people were all shocked. Some people quickly stretched out their hands to block the mouth of this drunkard who was talking nonsense, for fear that he would say something bold again and bring death to everyone. Some people turned around.

I looked around to see if any police officers patrolling the city were passing by, so I could be prepared to run away and break away.

Since Zhu Youtang established the Central Patrol Department under the Ministry of War, it has managed the construction of the national police and oversees the national police superintendents. Patrol lanes have been set up in various provinces to manage national patrol affairs. Today, the police in each prefecture and county are all soldiers who have retired from the local area.

They are composed of public security patrols, tax patrols, government patrols, security patrols, and construction patrols.

In particular, the security patrols patrol the city every day to maintain law and order. Although these policemen are old and weak soldiers who have been dismissed from the Beijing camp and the border areas and retired. After all, they are also people who have been on the battlefield and have been on the sword.

In the days of licking blood, ever since they came back to take office, they have been filled with a murderous aura. Even the local government armed forces did not dare to underestimate them.

When the teahouse was noisy, several officials rode over on fast horses, waving a pile of books and papers in their hands, and started shouting along the street:

"The restructuring of the Beijing News has been successful and the Beijing News has launched! Today is the first issue of the new Beijing News. They are all free. If you want anything, come and get it!"

"What, the Beijing News has been restructured? Is it still free? Don't give it up. Go get a few copies and see what's written on it. Maybe it's His Majesty's new edict!"

Wen Xun, the common people who had just gathered in the teahouse now heard that the official was shouting that the Beijing News had reopened and it was free. They all set off to chase the official to get it, for fear that it would be snatched away by others later.

The paper in the Beijing News must be of high quality. You just can’t understand this kind of thing. You can just take it home and put it on a dining table and have a meal and make a fire. It’s all free anyway!

Some people who had gone to private schools for a few years and knew a few words rushed to the Beijing News and moved a stool, stood on a high place and read loudly the content of the first issue of the Beijing News.

When the people heard about the great victory coming from the northwest, and the border guards defeated the Tatars, "beheading more than 3,000 people, and captured countless cattle, horses and sheep," they all applauded! Later, they heard that the National Day was determined to celebrate with the sky and the sun.

When they congratulated each other, they all beamed with joy and laughed heartily. But when they finally heard about the corruption, lawlessness and other misdeeds of Wei Zhang, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, they suddenly realized it. Some people cursed:

"Damn, I almost believed what that little kid said. It turns out that Wei Zhang is not a good guy, he is a corrupt official!"

"Your Majesty did a good job and investigated well. Corrupt officials like this deserve to die. We need to investigate more!"

The scholar in green shirt who was still giving a lecture in the teahouse just now saw that something was wrong and was about to run away. However, he was discovered by the sharp-eyed people and was caught back. He shouted that he would be handed over to the government and the superintendent would deal with him.

…

A few days later, in the capital at dusk, the night markets were closing down their stalls, and the vendors on every street were carrying their baskets and preparing to go home. However, in a quiet corner of the East Alley, there was a tavern with the lights still on.

The waiter who was greeting customers at the door was yawning and drowsy at the moment. If the shop owner hadn't repeatedly asked him, he would have packed up and closed the door.

The shop owner couldn't sit still anymore. He stuck his head out and looked outside. He saw Xiao Si leaning on the door and taking a nap. He immediately picked up the broom and flew towards the napping waiter.

"Little bastard, why are you sleeping? Wake up! Don't let the customers come in and see that our store is not energetic!"

The waiter rubbed his eyes and said sleepily: "Master, it's already so late. All the shops are closed. The streets are full of people going home. How can there be any customers?"

"No hurry, no rush, just wait, it should be here soon!"

While the two were talking, they suddenly saw several people wearing hats and simple clothes walking into the alley.

The waiter pointed at the visitor and exclaimed: "Come here, come here, a guest is here!"

The shop owner was overjoyed when he saw that it was indeed those people who spent a lot of money this morning, and hurriedly led the waiter to greet them.

"Master, you are finally here. If you wait a little longer, we won't be able to bear the closing time!"

The leader didn't say anything, took out two ingots of silver from his sleeves and said coldly: "You guys have nothing to do here, prepare the food, wine and meat, then let's go!"

The shop owner and the waiter took the white money from the man's hand, their eyes were shining, they bowed their waists and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, sir, please don't worry, I will prepare the best in our store right now!"

…

After a while, these were the only people left in the tavern. The leader sat down and looked around, then said, "How are you? Are you sure there is no tail?"

The other person waved his hand helplessly: "Mr. Li, please don't worry, it's very clean. I changed into a sedan as soon as I left the house and walked here on the way."

The first person to speak was Li Guang, the Minister of Rites. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "I have wronged you all. There is no other way. Nowadays, there are Jinyi guards everywhere in the capital. Maybe there are a few hidden in our houses."

Hey. Sometimes our home is not as safe as outside. This place is secluded and few people come here. Let’s discuss matters here from now on!"

"Hey, I don't know what Mr. Ge is thinking. Now in the court, His Majesty is blinded by Xu Pu and others. He ignores all our political opinions! I originally wanted Mr. Ge to come out and take charge of the overall situation, but I never thought of paying compensation.

Let Wei Zhang go in."

"That Wei Zhang deserves what he deserves. He is greedy. It is all his own fault that he is in this situation. The elder did the right thing. He should give up the small to protect the big!" Lu Ling, the left minister of the Ministry of War, has always had some conflicts with Wei Zhang. Wei Zhang

Zhang's downfall was something he wanted in his heart.

Zou Mo, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, paused and said: "Wei Zhang's matter is over. Why bring him up? Can't we live without him? Master Li has called everyone here today mainly to discuss Han Dynasty.

How to deal with this white-eyed wolf, Toshiyan? If he continues to be impeached, everyone's butts may be burned!"

As soon as Li Guang finished speaking, Lu Ling suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "Since I became an official, who can guarantee that I will be clean and clean? Can't a group of us find out those scandals about him? Let's give it to him then

Take it all out and sue him, I don't believe he can defeat us with two fists!

At this time, Li Guang, the leader of the group, took a sip of wine, took a piece of meat without haste, smacked his lips, and said with a smile:

"Everyone, please be quiet. Although the Minister of War looks like a hot cake, he is actually a pit of fire. In recent years, the Tatars have become ambitious and have repeatedly invaded our borders. There are frequent wars in the northwest and northeast. As long as there is a war, these are indispensable.

The Ministry of War will coordinate the situation. In the long run, he will inevitably be overwhelmed and do two stupid things. Are you still afraid that he will not be able to defeat him?

Seeing that everyone was quiet and listening to his speech, Li Guang continued: "His Majesty has just dealt with Wei Zhang and will never attack us again. Don't worry, everyone! Just calm down during this period. Han Junyan is not here either."

Try to contact him, don’t make the relationship tense all of a sudden, and let him relax his vigilance.”

"Master Li said yes, we have all remembered it." After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

This is indeed the case at the moment. The emperor has just dealt with Wei Zhang and will definitely not start a war again. However, the war on the border is tense, and Han Junyan may not be able to sit comfortably. As long as he stops quietly, he is not afraid that he will not reveal any tricks.

Li Guang has been following Liu Ji, the chief assistant, for many years, and he already has a lot of knowledge in his heart. He knows that as long as the chief assistant is still Liu Ji, the big tree of the Liu Party will never fall. The remaining people are just some people on the big tree.

The scattered leaves can grow again if they are gone.
