Seeing that the emperor was a little interested, Zhang He immediately said, "Yes, I heard it yesterday, saying that it was because of this newspaper that it caused constant debate among scholars and countless students who repeatedly violated the rules of study."

In fact, Zhang He had no other intention when chatting, just finding a topic to get close to the emperor. In his opinion, this newspaper is both a novel thing and has a lot of noise in Jiangnan. It is really good to use it as a topic.

He opened his conversation, but still seemed dissatisfied. He shook his head and made a big talk. Zhang He couldn't say whether he liked or disliked the newspaper, but after all, as the top Qingliu official, he had to criticize a few words, so that he could show his nobility.

But he never expected that the emperor was looking at him with a smile, with a faint murderous aura in his deep eyes.

Zhang He didn't feel this kind of gaze, but Xu Jie, who was standing beside him, felt it. His eyes were horrified and he quickly lowered his head. Xu Jie vaguely felt that there seemed to be something tricky about the newspaper in Hangzhou.

In fact, the emperor's murderous intent was fleeting. Then he smiled slightly, returned to normal, and said sincerely to Zhang He: "A newspaper from Hangzhou? Why haven't I heard of it before? Could it be a new one?"

Zhang He hurriedly said, "If you say that to Your Majesty, it is indeed a new one. It has been less than a month since it was released. The news is full of popularity. It is said that Suzhou and Hangzhou have become fashionable."

The emperor was slightly stunned. He did not expect that Xu Qian would be allowed to run a newspaper twenty days ago. In just a short time, the newspaper had already made such a big noise. He couldn't help but think: "It seems that he still underestimated this Xu Qian." Thinking of this, although Emperor Jiajing had improved a little about Xu Qian's strength, he did not take it too seriously.

He seemed a little lazy and said, "Master Zhang, I'm a little tired, you go down and rest."

Halfway through the conversation, the emperor suddenly became indifferent, which made Zhang He very depressed, but it was worry-free. Zhang He didn't say anything else, and smacked his lips and said, "Then, I'm leaving." He stood up and retreated with Xu Jie in a row.

After sitting in the imperial case, the emperor did not move until he watched them leave. His hand hit the imperial case, looking a little irritable and uneasy.

He suddenly said coldly: "Come."

"I'm here." A eunuch on duty quickly trotted in and lay on the ground.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said quietly: "Get that thing."

That thing, as if it were the common thing for the emperor, the eunuch quickly understood it. After a moment of going out, he brought a small box and placed it respectfully on the emperor's desk.

The box was opened, but it was a note. The emperor took out the note and said coldly: "Brush and ink."

When the note was opened, there were many names written in it. One of the people in the front was Yang Ting, the chief minister of the cabinet of the dynasty, and Yang Xianggong. Next, there were also many important officials, but I am afraid that 30% of the officials in the dynasty were among them.

The pen and ink came up. The emperor held the pen tip with his face indifferent. After hesitating for a moment, he added Zhang He's name under the note.

Then, he threw away his pen and looked at the newly added name with a torch, and his face suddenly showed a bit of hideousness.

………………………………

But Xu Jie accompanied Zhang He, the Hanlin scholar, out. Zhang He was old and Xu Jie supported him. Xu Jie was very popular with this adult. Seeing him with a serious look, Zhang He couldn't help but say, "Zisheng, I just saw you absent-minded, what? Do you have any worries?"

Zhang He was a little confused about this young man. Maybe he was really old and had been in the Hanlin Academy for decades. Therefore, he couldn't help but feel pity for Xu Jie's backwardness, and he was very concerned about Xu Jie.

Xu Jie sighed and said, "Sir..." He pondered for a moment, not knowing whether to say it or not.

This look of being reluctant to say something but stopping finally didn't hide it from Zhang He. Zhang He couldn't help but say something unhappy: "Do you have something to worry about?"

Xu Jie had no choice but to sigh: "Sir, I'm afraid you'll get into trouble."

Zhang He was stunned and then said angrily: "What are you talking about?"

Xu Jie said: "Just just now, I feel displeased when I talk about Ming Pao. Have you noticed that Your Majesty's face became much colder?"

Zhang He was confused: "Why is this?"

While supporting Zhang He out of the palace, Xu Jie said, "No, Ming Pao must have a close relationship with Your Majesty. Think about it, for so many years, who dares to publish newspapers and influence public opinion privately? But Hangzhou has really issued a newspaper. Not to mention this, this newspaper can even be called Ming Pao. If there is no acquiesce to the palace, who has such courage?"

Although Zhang He was old and blurred, he was not a fool after all. After hearing Xu Jie's reminder, he suddenly became a little nervous: "But... even so, what does this have to do with causing trouble?"

Xu Jie sighed again and said, "Think about it, a few days ago, the emperor sent Huang Jin to Hangzhou, and then he made a case for the examination paper of a student named Xu. Finally, the student named Xu was demoted, but the student named Xu was praised in the palace. Why is that?" Xu Jie lowered his voice and continued, "Nothing is nothing more than a dispute over the status. Most of the student surnamed Xu are newspaper operators. When the adults attack Ming Pao, they criticize Xu, who is criticizing Xu. What would the emperor think?"

Zhang He suddenly had a cold war, looked at Xu Jie with horror, and couldn't help but say, "Can't it... Is it the emperor who thought, I..."

Xu Jie held him firmly and said calmly: "Yes, the emperor will not think that you are targeting Ming Pao, but will only think that you are targeting Xu Shengyuan. In fact, if you think deeply, the emperor does not think that you are targeting Xu Shengyuan, but you are targeting the article in the examination. The emperor must have a father, and the princes must have a brother. It is not only that they will be clear about the ranks of the people of the country when they are filial and filial, but that they will not be able to tell the truth about the people." Xu Jie smiled bitterly: "This sentence is enough to lose the heads of many people. Your Majesty is a person who is as careful as a hair, and the lord regrets that he should not have done so."

This sentence is as meticulous as a hair, and is used ingeniously. In other words, it means that the emperor is very jealous and will definitely retaliate. It would be fine if it were someone else, but if you bump into such an old man, who will be unlucky?

Zhang He was so scared that he was sweating coldly. He felt that what Xu Jie said was reasonable, but he pondered for a moment and said with a lucky look: "I'm afraid Zisheng is thinking too much."

Seeing Zhang He like this, Xu Jie stopped talking. The two were about to leave the scope of Chongzheng Hall, but they saw Huang Jin coming towards him. Behind Huang Jin were two eunuchs, carrying a box of memorials in a hurry to Chongzheng Hall.

When Huang Jin saw them, he couldn't help but come over to see him, especially this Zhang He, Master Zhang. He had taught eunuchs in the inner study room before. When it comes to talking about it, Huang Jin was still half of Zhang He's student. Huang Jin smiled and said, "Why, the lecture on the lectures of the scriptures ended so quickly?"

Although Zhang He spoke relaxed just now, he was still a little scared and was in a daze. Xu Jie replied on his behalf: "Yes, Your Majesty is not in good health..." He glanced at Huang Jin and said to him, "Does Eunuch Huang go to see you? Why are there so many memorials today?"

Huang Jin smiled and said, "How can we know about it? It's strange today. Tongzhengsi suddenly sent so many memorials in. I guess something big happened somewhere. Oh, we have errands to do. Let's say goodbye, sir."

After saying that, he took the two eunuchs to carry a box of memorials to Chongzheng Hall.

Xu Jie thought about it and couldn't help but say to Zhang He: "I have a senior brother who has a new job as a Zhejiang student. Why not do this? I will edit a letter and go and ask him about Ming Pao."

Zhang He sighed and said, "I'm going to bother you."

………………………………………………

Huang Jin arrived outside Chongzheng Hall and ordered someone to carry the box of memorials in. He also walked into Chongzheng Hall. After he entered, he quickly glanced at Emperor Jiajing. Seeing that Emperor Jiajing's face was very unhappy, he felt a little careful and hurriedly bowed and said, "I have seen Your Majesty."

Emperor Jiajing, who was sitting on the imperial desk, still looked at the names in the notes coldly, without even raising his eyelids, and said in a plain tone: "You are not on duty, why are you here to do?"

Huang Jin said: "The Tongzhengsi suddenly sent many memorials, and I happened to catch up with it, so I brought it."

Emperor Jiajing then raised his eyes suspiciously, his face became even more displeased, and said, "Why did so many memorials suddenly come at this time? What do you say from the Tongzhengsi?"

Huang Jin smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: Tongzhengshi said that these are not required to be signed, so he came straight forward."

Memorials are divided into many types. Generally, memorials are naturally sent to the cabinet first and then handed into the palace after they are drafted. However, there is a kind of memorial, but the cabinet does not have the right to draft a ticket, which is an impeachment memorial. After all, the impeachment memorial is very likely to be the cabinet. Who can guarantee that the cabinet will not be suppressed? Therefore, generally, such memorials will never be taken after the cabinet is sorted out, in order to avoid suspicion.

Emperor Jiajing calmed down instead. He carefully put the notes in the box, then waved his hand: "Take it down and hand it over."

This box was half of the treasure of Emperor Jiajing. The eunuch who accompanied him carefully picked up the box and stepped aside, while Huang Jin first took a few memorials and presented them.

When he opened the first memorial, Emperor Jiajing looked shocked.

This is indeed an impeachment memorial. The target of the impeachment was Yang Biao, the general officer of Zhejiang, who said that Yang Biao was in a position and was not good at suppressing the Japanese. In addition, even the governor of Zhejiang and the general officer of Fujian were named. The memorial was aware of the harm of the Japanese pirates to Jiangnan and asked the court to replace incompetent officials, dispatch officials to preside over the fight against the Japanese.

Emperor Jiajing was really stunned. The problem of Japanese pirates had long existed. He usually wanted to take care of it, but the ministers refused to let it go. He said it was a disease of scabies, which was not worth mentioning. He also said that it was a lot of money and food. The emperor ascended the throne and used his weapons to do something bad. As a result, it was good now, and someone finally started talking about this matter.

He picked up the second memorial, which was roughly the same, and the third memorial was almost the same.
