Xi Yu took Liu Xie to the manor, and the sedan chair stopped.
They stroll along the bluestone path and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the manor.
The Su family and his son had already been waiting at the door. When they saw Xi Yu and Liu Xie coming, they immediately stepped forward to salute.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, to the Prime Minister." The father and son of the Su family said in unison.
Liu Xie nodded with a smile and said, "No need to be polite."
Xi Yu said, "Your Majesty, this is the manor I prepared for you. Do you still feel satisfied?"
Liu Xie looked around and saw the pavilions, towers, green trees and prosperous flowers and plants in the manor. He was very satisfied.
"Well, it's good. The environment here is very good and suitable for living." Liu Xie said.
Xi Yu said: "Since that's the case, we will choose auspicious day for your Majesty to officially move in. At that time, Weichen will arrange many servants to serve His Majesty, and all the expenses of all the people living here will be borne by Weichen."
Liu Xie said: "Okay, very good. Well, let's go and see the room first."
So, the group came to a large room. The room was elegantly decorated and there was a beautiful garden outside the window.
Liu Xie nodded and said, "Well, this place is very good. I am very satisfied."
After everything is ready, I just wait to find a zodiac auspicious day, and then Liu Xie can officially move in here.
Mr. Su said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I will return to my hometown today. As for my son, I will stay here for the time being."
After Liu Xie moved in, he asked his son to officially move out.
Liu Xie and Xi Yu also agreed.
Xi Yu said: "Your Majesty, this place is smaller than the palace after all. If you think it is not suitable, you can expand it in the future."
Liu Xie smiled and said, "No need, I don't care about anything now. I'm just an idle emperor. There is no need to waste the people and lose money so much."
Xi Yu nodded. He knew that Liu Xie was telling the truth. To be fair, Liu Xie is a good person, but he was born in troubled times, so he had no achievements.
He said: "Your Majesty, but you still have to pay attention to safety. I will strengthen my defense and must not let the assassin come in."
Liu Xie said: "Then it's going to be a labor."
Xi Yu said: "This is what Weichen should do. Your Majesty, just talk if you have anything else, Weichen will do his best to satisfy you."
Liu Xie said: "Well, I don't need anything for the time being."
Liu Xie was filled with emotion.
He remembered his days in the palace. Although they were luxurious, they were full of intrigue and intrigue.
And now, although he is simple in this manor, he can feel tranquility and peace of mind.
After a while, Xi Yu and Liu Xie walked on the way back to the house with a group of guards.
Along the way, the wind was calm and there was no assassin. Xi Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Back at the mansion, Xi Yu got off the horse and returned to the room alone.
He pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered a question.
He felt that he should run a newspaper so that more people could understand the world's major events.
And there happened to be a suitable candidate around him, that is Su Yu.
Xi Yu's heart moved and decided to let Su Yu be the editor-in-chief of the newspaper. He believed that Su Yu's talent and ability would definitely be able to run this newspaper well.
He called the soldiers and asked them to call Su Yu.
After a while, Su Yu came here. When he saw Xi Yu, he was happy and quickly saluted.
"Meet the Prime Minister." Su Yu said.
Xi Yu nodded and said, "Young Master Su, there is no need to be too polite. I have something to ask for."
Su Yu said: "Mr. Xi, please tell me that as long as Su Yu can do his best, he will do his best."
Xi Yu said: "I want to run a newspaper so that more people can understand the big things in the world. And I think Mr. Su is a suitable candidate and wants Mr. Su to be the editor-in-chief of the newspaper. I wonder what Mr. Su wants me to do?"
This made Su Yu confused. What kind of thing is a newspaper?
Xi Yu laughed, and was excited by herself, forgetting that newspapers were not something from this era.
I haven't expressed it clearly to the other party yet.
So he roughly said that he was printing something on the paper.
Then, some of their national affairs must be known to the villagers, and then they must be published publicly. Each county will also have newspapers for people to read.
At the beginning, it was a free gift, but after a long time, people would have to subscribe.
Or post it on a wall so that more people can see it. The main content is to record your own affairs and His Majesty the Emperor.
After hearing what he said, Su Yu had a rough understanding.
"Prime Minister, you are such a genius. How come you have so many ideas?"
Xi Yu smiled and thought to himself that this was already outdated in his previous life.
But then, Su Yu felt something was wrong.
"If there is such a large circulation, how many people will it take if everyone wants to copy it?"
He thought to himself, it wasn't that Xi Yu who asked him to copy it.
You can write articles yourself, but if you copy them one by one, it would be so tiring.
Xi Yu said: "I won't let you copy it, we will print it out when the time comes."
Su Yu felt even more surprised.
"Print it, what's going on?"
"Okay, don't worry about it for now. You'll just say whether you agree or not?"
Su Yu immediately agreed, thinking that he thought it was a good thing that would benefit the country and the people.
Xi Yu understood that the printing must be done next. The printing technology has not yet appeared, so why not let it come out in advance.
"Okay, don't worry about this matter. Just agree. Now I'll go back and wait. I was thinking about it, but I don't know what to ask you to do. Now I can finally do it."
Su Yu soon returned to the manor.
His father was packing his things because he was going back to his hometown in the afternoon.
Seeing Su Yu's face smiling, Su Yuanwai asked, "Son, what did the Prime Minister ask you to do?"
"Dad, the Prime Minister said he wanted to run a newspaper."
Yuanwai Su was naturally very confused.
"Newspaper, what is this?"
Su Yu then said something roughly according to Xi Yu's explanation.
Mr. Su also asked the same question, that is, how many copies should I copy?
Su Yu immediately started to laugh, and his smile was particularly bright.
"Son, what's wrong? Why are you laughing at? Is the question Dad asked is funny?"
"No, Dad, I asked such a question at that time, and the Prime Minister explained it to me."
So, he said everything Ji Yu said to him at that time.
"So that's the case, but I don't know if it can be achieved."
Yuanwai Su touched the beard on his chin. Although he was optimistic about this matter, he had no confidence.
"Dad, you also know that the Prime Minister can often create miracles."
Seeing that his son admired Xi Yu so much, Mr. Su wanted to laugh.
"Okay, he is willing to take you in any case, so you can follow him to start a business."
When Xi Yu remembered running a newspaper, he felt very excited and decided to discuss this matter with Liu.
So he soon came to the door of Liu Xie's room.
Liu Xie is worried at this moment.
He has always been like this recently and is prone to think of some things particularly complicated.
He knew that although he was still under the title of emperor, he had actually become a king of a devastated country.
Just like that manor, after moving in, I became even more isolated from the world.
He is like a prisoner. Although everyone is very polite to him and listens to him, he is just a prisoner.
While thinking, I suddenly heard footsteps outside, and it was Xi Yu who arrived.
Just as Xi Yu was about to salute, Liu Xie waved his hand.
"This is not above the court, there is no need to be so polite. Just say anything."
Xi Yu told him about running a newspaper. Before he could ask the other party, he also told the structure of the newspaper.
Liu Xie suddenly felt his eyes lit up.
"Oh, it seems good to hear you say that."
But he shook his head again.
"Let's say more about your news, there's no need to say about me."
Because Liu Xie believes that he is going to withdraw from the stage of history after all, if he goes to that manor to live, he has nothing to report except food, drink, defecation and urination.
But Xi Yu expressed his respect for him and still wanted to publish his news.
"Or why not, just click occasionally, and I will never be able to have me every time."
Xi Yu finally agreed.
"I'm very excited to hear what you said, what printing you just said..."
"Yes, as long as there is that kind of machine, many copies will appear immediately."
"In this way, I am more looking forward to it."
After a while, Xi Yu stepped down.
He decided to tell Wenxuan and Dongfang Hong the news so that they could share their joy.
After a while, he came to Youzhou College.
It just so happened that Wenxuan had no classes and was preparing lessons in the office.
The sun shone through the faint clouds and fell on the branches of gardenia.
Gardenias are blooming, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers fills the entire courtyard.
Xi Yu walked into Wenxuan's office and said enthusiastically: "I want to run a newspaper, what do you think?"
Wenxuan sat by the window, looked at the view outside, and said lightly: "This is a good thing, but you don't want to take this opportunity to promote yourself, right?"
The corners of her mouth raised slightly, showing a sarcastic smile.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Xi Yu's face, but he quickly regained his confidence and straightened his body and said, "Of course not. I just feel that our era needs a deep and thoughtful newspaper to convey some truly valuable information."
"By the way, I'm planning to go find you when I have time, and you're here just right."
"Oh, is there anything you want to ask me?"
"Aren't it a weekend a few days ago? You also know that I used to like to travel around the mountains and rivers, so I went out for a walk this weekend."
Xi Yu nodded, hoping that she would continue to talk.
Wenxuan sighed softly.
"I just passed by a place and saw something that made me very sad."
Xi Yu looked at Wenxuan curiously and waited for her to continue talking.
"A landlord died, and several of his women were forced to be buried with him. There was a child who was unwilling to let his mother be buried with him, so he and his mother knelt there and cried. But the servants were unwilling to do so. They beat the child's mother and must let her be buried with him, that is, to bury him alive."
Wenxuan's voice was filled with pain and helplessness.
Xi Yu's face became heavy, and he slapped the table angrily.
"This is so cruel! How can you treat innocent lives like this!"
Wenxuan shed tears silently, and her heart was filled with sadness and sympathy.
"I saw the little kid kneeling on the ground with his mother, their eyes full of despair and helplessness. I felt powerless and could only watch it happen."
Xi Yu held Wenxuan's hand and comforted him: "This is not your fault, Wenxuan. You have tried your best. We can't change everything."
Wenxuan looked at Xi Yu with a sharp look.
"You can change everything. Don't you know what I mean by telling you this one?" Wen Xuan said.
Xi Yu was stunned. He understood what Wenxuan meant, which means he wanted to abolish the system of burial for his death.
Yes, why haven’t I thought about this problem before?
In real history, this system was abolished from Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty.
This is also the only good thing that Emperor Yingzong of Ming did.
He suddenly laughed.
"Thank you, Wenxuan, thank you for telling me about this."
Xi Yu said he would discuss it with Liu.
Wenxuan slapped the table in anger.
"What else are you discussing? You should implement it immediately. Now the emperor has been underestimated by you. You are the lord of the world. Why do you still need to discuss it with him?"
At this moment, Lu Su walked in and was very surprised to see this scene.
Of course he knew that Wen Xuan was so arrogant in front of Xi Yu, but he shouldn't be so relaxed.
He was immediately embarrassed, not sure whether to walk in or go out.
At this time, Wenxuan realized that he had lost his composure.
"Mr. Lu, are you doing something?"
"It's nothing, nothing is wrong, you guys talk first."
He walked out quickly like a thief, and Wenxuan could no longer hold it back and immediately burst into laughter.
She suddenly noticed that Xi Yu glared at her.
"It's really, what's so funny? Be honest in front of me from now on, don't move at all, no big or small."
This time, Wenxuan was very well-behaved and nodded honestly.
"But what I'm telling you is the truth. If you always ask His Majesty for advice, what's the point of this constitutional monarchy?"
Xi Yu nodded, feeling that what she said made sense.
Only some particularly big things can be asked about Liu Xie. And Liu Xie will generally agree.
Because Liu Xie basically agreed with what Xi Yu said.
If you ask for instructions in everything, it will lose the meaning of the constitutional monarchy.
"Thank you for reminding me, OK, I'm going back now."
Xi Yu rushed out immediately and happened to meet Dongfang Hong in the yard.
"Xi Yu, why are you here?"
"Look at what you said, this is my college, why can't I come?"
"That's not what I mean."
Xi Yu also shared with him about running a newspaper.
"Oh, this is a good thing. People don't have any entertainment activities in this era. It's also good to be able to learn about the news from the newspaper."
Xi Yu chatted with him for a few simple words and then left.
After a while, Lu Su came to Wenxuan's office.
Wenxuan still felt embarrassed, and the other side of him was seen by Lu Su.
But Lu Su didn't say anything.
"Mr. Lu, are you doing something?"
"I'm just very curious. I seemed to see you crying yesterday."
Wenxuan smiled, and he remembered the burial of his life, so he couldn't help it.
She also shared this matter with Lu Su.
"I have told the Prime Minister about this just now. So he should abolish the system of burial for burial after a while."
However, when Lu Su heard this, his eyes widened.
"What's wrong, Mr. Lu, do you think this is inappropriate?"
"How can this be abolished at will?"
Lu Su believes that there are many rich people who have to enjoy after they die.
If this system is abolished, how can the rich feel?
Wenxuan was very angry when he heard Lu Su's expression.
"Okay, Mr. Lu, I didn't expect you to be so stubborn, because there are borers like you, so..."
Wenxuan blushed in anger and didn't know what to say.
Lu Su didn't expect Wenxuan to speak so heavily.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I shouldn't say that."
"Teacher Wen, don't say that. Actually, what you said makes sense. After all, you are thinking about the poor. If nothing happens, I will leave first."
Lu Su walked out immediately.
Wenxuan's words made Xi Yu fall into thinking.
Yes, this system of burial must be abolished.
In Xi Yu's mind, many heart-wrenching scenes seemed to appear.
Sitting in the room, he couldn't help but shed tears.
Before he knew it, Wan'er had arrived at the door, but he did not notice it.
When Wan'er saw him crying, she felt very strange.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?"
Only then did Xi Yu realize that Wan'er was coming, and immediately started laughing.
"How do you walk quietly?"
"No, it's your thinking problem, so I didn't notice my arrival."
Xi Yu immediately stood up and then grabbed Wan'er's hand.
"Husband, what's wrong with you? Why did you cry just now?"
"I just went to Youzhou College, and Teacher Wenxuan told me something that made me feel very painful."
Afterwards, he shared the relevant situation.
"So that's the case. I thought I had encountered some grievances nearby."
"What can I feel wronged? Am I sympathetic, okay?"
Wan'er nodded.
"Husband, do you want to abolish this system of burying people alive?"
"It's true, it's inhumane."
But the idea was the same as Lu Su.
Is this approach too avant-garde? Will it be opposed by people?
"If I give an order, who dares to object?" Xi Yu sneered.
He is not using power to suppress others.
But this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, so he must do it.
