Imperial City, Secretary Province. Complete version??????????.????
Chen Xilie hurried to the newspaper publishing house and was surprised to find that the new Di newspaper was already being printed.
Engravers are already engraving spare templates for simultaneous printing, and craftsmen are folding the newly printed newspapers.
A busy but well-organized scene.
“How can it be so fast?”
Chen Xilie couldn't believe it. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed a newspaper. It looked like it was actually a new Di newspaper.
The first piece of news is that Li Jie, Li's son, is the heir to the throne of King Xu. Looking at the second piece of news, it is revealed that Li Mu plotted to suppress his brother's son.
After that, a judgment was published by the late "Qing Qian Scholar" Zhang??. In short, it was said that the death of a father and the succession of his son were a matter of course, and men were not allowed to cheat.
“Father shows off his son Mu, a gift that lasts for thousands of years; inheritance of peaches from ancestors is the way to be passed down from generation to generation. If the flesh and blood are dull, the beauty of the dove will only make it prosperous; if the blood is different, how can one send a son of the same age?”
Chen Xilie looked familiar, so he remembered that the question he asked during the Civil Service Examination was based on this essay, and he wrote it himself for Xue Baiyu at that time.
Looking at the next few messages, one talks about farming, excerpting it from "Essentials for Qi Min" and adding detailed explanations, including how to treat sick cattle and sheep, how to use dung to grow millet, and how to prevent and control pests; others say
Regarding literary affairs, students are reminded again that they can borrow books from the East Campus; and finally, there are many things to praise and praise.
The duplicate copies of the Di newspaper were still full. Chen Xilie could not figure out how Xue Bai could produce such a perfect engraving in just a day or two, let alone how he could have imagined it. When he asked, Xue Bai told him.
“Simple, only three or four current news are current, and the rest are prepared in advance. For example, "Qi Min Yao Shu"
There are good sets of engravings for .”
That’s really the case, everything else is irrelevant.”
“Engraving is also very particular about how to arrange it, how to divide it into sections, and some parts of the page directly use movable type. There is a lot of knowledge involved. If the left minister wants to know, we can find an opportunity to explain it slowly.”
Chen Xilie smiled and waved his hand and said: "The saint has planned to set up another newspaper institute. I, the secretary and the young supervisor, will soon be unable to take care of it, not to mention that the staff is still busy with errands. We might as well talk about where Mr. Xue wants to go if he is promoted.
High position?"
Actually, what he wanted to talk about more was who he wanted to recommend to take charge of the affairs of the newspaper office after Xue Bai left.
Li Linfu already had very mature ideas about the official positions in the newspaper academy. He planned to set up one director, with an official of the fourth rank; two chief ministers, with an official of the sixth rank; four editor-in-chief, with an official of the seventh rank;
The review and other officials are from the ninth grade; the rest are officials and craftsmen.
Yuan Zhi can probably only be appointed by a saint to be in charge of review and supervision. Li Linfu knew this well, and the one he wanted to recruit was the Yuan Cheng. Chief editors were the official positions that were really responsible for doing things, and they had to be in their hands.
Xue Bai’s cooperation is also crucial. He was the first to create Di Bao. Whether the recommended officials can get the approval of the saint will
Xue Bai has a very strong say; editors, reviewers, officials, craftsmen, etc. must continue to use the existing ones; in addition, the way for the dissemination of Di Bao is still in Xue Bai's hands.
It is crucial that these issues are settled.
“What does the left prime minister mean?”
“When you are first appointed as a local official after entering an official position, the best one is Ji County Lieutenant. Is Xue Lang interested in Taiyuan Ji County?”
“There’s no rush.” Xue Bai said, “I’m young and inexperienced, so it’s better to study more with Zuo Xiang in the Secretariat Department.”
Chen Xilie smiled and said: "You are a talented number one scholar, what else can you learn from an old man like me? It is better to be promoted early to avoid long nights and dreams."
Xue Bai was too lazy to talk to him and said, "After finishing this issue of the Di newspaper, I have to accompany you to the Huaqing Palace. Please forgive me for not being able to accompany you."
Chen Xilie was still waiting to say anything more, but when he saw this guy turning around to leave, he couldn't help but become very anxious.
After Xue Bai has been with the Huaqing Palace for a few months, he is afraid that he and the saint have finalized the candidates for the official position of the newspaper office. By then, Yang Dang will have direct access to the saint and control public opinion. This is by no means an outcome acceptable to the right prime minister. Full??
??????????.????
“The Chang’an County Lieutenant is really incompetent and out of line. Apart from that, what else are you interested in? I will fight for you.”
At this time, Xue Bairuo believed in Chen Xilie. When the leftist prime minister changed his mind, he would be in a passive position, so he still did not disclose it.
Just said: "Prime Minister, don't worry about me, I'll think about it again."

In the wine shops and teahouses of Chang'an City, there are still vendors selling folk tabloids, and their targets are often well-dressed drinkers.
These people who want to make friends with the powerful are most interested in the private affairs of the powerful, and they usually find it difficult to find out about them even if they try their best to find out.
Just as the contents of the popular "Tianbao Shiwen" were being circulated, the official newspaper quickly overturned the gossip.
Since the saint can let Li's son inherit the title, it is enough to prove that the rumors are false.
…..
After handling this matter, Xue Bai went to meet with Du Miao again.
“You are not selfish at all.” Du Miao said, “You completely suppressed the news in our People’s Daily.”
“If we don’t show any favoritism, we won’t make people suspect that the People’s Daily is also run by us.”
“Is there really no doubt?”
"Maybe." Xue Bai said: "But if I want to spread rumors, I shouldn't use newspapers, which will make everyone doubt me, as long as you leave no traces."
"Don't worry." Du Miao said: "I bought a book publishing house a long time ago, and the craftsmen in the book publishing house are the ones who used the woodblocks.
The craftsmanship is average. After printing the newspaper, these people have all been sent to Yangzhou."
“What about the divergent channels?”
“I hired a group of people to deliver the newspapers to several restaurants and teahouses and asked them to help distribute them. I didn’t avoid Fengweilou. They had experience with Di newspapers and they were very willing.”
“Selling one for ten cents?“
"We confiscated the money, but after all, the government did not require free delivery. Restaurants and tea shops also have to make profits from it."
Xue Bai was very cautious and asked: "Where is the person who delivered the newspaper?"
"Hired, he didn't see any of our people at the beginning." Du Miao said: "I didn't deliberately lead him to Li Mi or Chen Xilie. Let Bei Ya go and check, they can't find us."
“Then who published “Pearl Birthmark”?
"I listened to you and sent this story to several booksellers. Some of them polished it, published it, and sold it for money. It has nothing to do with us."
“Don’t worry, all the clues have been cut off.”
As he said that, Du Miao was slightly proud and said: "And I copied all the contents from the rumors they spread. Not a single word is our opinion. How can we be traced?"
"That's good."
What they did was nothing more than to publish what Li Miu and Chen Xilie had done, transforming the rumors passed down by word of mouth into real words, concreteness, exaggeration, and combining the two independent things into one, ahead of time.
presented to the emperor.

North Prison.
“I think those two children are not my brother’s biological children, they must have been the result of an affair between Xu and someone else.
Suffering from the lack of evidence, I asked the steward to go to the palace’s back house to lay out perjury. I admit this.”
Li Miu lowered his head with a look of dismay on his face and said, "But I didn't spread the rumor. I don't think the person who had an affair with the Xu family was Li Zhen or Zhang Tan. It should be someone else."
"who?"
“I don’t know.” Li Mi said.
"Then have you spread any rumors about Xu's affair with others?" Chen Xuanli asked, "To be honest, I can find them all. Full version????520.????
"have."
“How did you say it?“
“As far as Mrs. Xu is having an affair, the child is not my brother’s.”
“So simple? No one even has a name for the adulterer?”
Li Miu was stunned for a moment and said, "Why is it so detailed?"
Chen Xuanli asked: "Do you know that Li Zhen, Li Tao, Zhang Zan, Xue Bai and others have said that they want to prevent you from seizing an heir?"
...
“So, when you spread rumors, you accused them of having an affair with the Xu family?”
"Li didn't think about whether the servants were doing things like this. He just thought that Chen Xuanli was a little embarrassed. He admitted the most important crime and didn't care about these trivial matters.
Chen Xuanli asked again: "Who did you find to publish those newspapers?"
“I...I didn’t find anyone to publish the newspaper.”
“Ask me again.” Chen Xuanli’s face turned serious, “Whose newspaper did you find?’
Li Zheng didn't know how to answer, but suddenly a guard came in a hurry and reported a few words to Chen Xuanli.
A
“Sage of reply, I have found the source of the rumor.”
"explain."
"Li Cai fell ill, and Li Mi bribed a group of idle men to go to various restaurants in Qingmen to spread rumors that Xu was having an affair with someone; but the rumors about Zhang Tian and Xue Bai were spread by someone else... I have verified it. , indeed two groups of people."
"who?"
“Chen Zhen bought a group of scoundrels in Nanqu, Pingkangfang. Some of them followed Xue Bai and said everywhere that “the number one scholar has a close relationship with Mrs. Guo Guo”.”
“Who is Chen Ru?“
“He is the son of the left prime minister.”
Li Longji was not surprised at all, his face was calm, and he asked: "Where did Chen Xilie publish the newspaper?"
The people who originally distributed the newspapers did not take any money from them. They were not found, so they must have withdrawn. Presumably, it is not unusual for the left prime minister to be in charge of the secretarial department and publish some newspapers."
"I'm just curious." Li Longji asked lightly, "Since he is in charge of the Secretariat, why does the newspaper he publishes be so poorly made?"
Chen Xuanli didn't know whether the saint's words were angry or sarcastic, so he responded cautiously: "I don't know."
“No need to check anymore.”
Gao Lishi couldn't help but be puzzled and asked: "Why did the saint put it down so gently?"
"It's just those thoughts, boring." Li Longji said lightly: "Li Mu even wanted to seize the title left by his brother, while Chen Xilie saw the power of the newspaper office, and the two hit it off. General Gao, look, flies are coming
fly away,
What else could it be for?”
“Is it Prime Minister Zuo who publishes the official journal of Ying Kingdom?” Gao Lishi said in surprise: “But Prime Minister Zuo and his successor, King Xu, were officials in the same government office, and they had a harmonious relationship...
Halfway through his words, he shook his head with a wry smile and said with emotion: "This old slave understands the reason for this matter. He is a saint with unique insight."
Seeing it too clearly, it loses a lot of interest."
“No wonder the saint wanted to separate the Press Court from the Secretariat.” Gao Lishi said: “It turns out that the left prime minister is prohibited from getting involved in the Press Court.”
Li Longjiyun smiled lightly, once again showing the expression of standing on the clouds, looking down at all living beings, and understanding everything.
All the ministers were very keen, and they all realized the right to publish newspapers, and they wanted to snatch it away. They were like a group of dogs pushing and rubbing, looking at the bones in his hands, but he was not in a hurry to throw the bones out. He wanted to see which one
Which dog is loyal and which one is not?
Occasionally for a moment or two, Li Longji also considered the roles of Li Zhen, Zhang Zeng, Xue Bai and others in this matter.
It was because he saw clearly that Xue Bai only wanted to exchange the power of publishing newspapers for a promoted official position, and had already been seeking officials through the Yang sisters. Li Zhen and Zhang Zeng were his favorites.
In this way, it is already clear what result he wants.
"General Gao, please prepare a few decrees on official appointments. Pass them on again, and we will drive to Huaqing Palace tomorrow...

Fengweilou.
Du Miao turned over, looked at Xue Bai with some curiosity, and asked: "Actually, I don't fully understand yet. If we work hard to do this, the benefits will be too little, right?"
"Using Li Mu's fraudulent attack to seize the title, you can frame the two prime ministers to prevent them from causing trouble to me?"
"It's too risky." Du, who knew Xue Bai best, said, "If it's just for this purpose, there's no need to do this. In fact, being honest with the imperial concubine is the safest way."
“Let you try to publish a private newspaper? It’s just a small test.”
“I originally planned to take a look at it slowly, but because you wanted to do this, I had to avoid it for a while. What else is the purpose?”
Xue Bai said: "There's nothing wrong with it. I'm going to use this to test the clan's reaction and make friends with a group of people."
"Um?"
“Li from Taichang Temple Ceremony, his father Li Yixun was framed by Li Mi, and I can win his favor by doing this; in addition, many people in Zongzheng Temple also hate Li Mi.”
They didn’t know it was us."
"I printed the Di newspaper." Xue Bai said matter-of-factly: "As soon as the Di newspaper comes out, listen carefully. Li Mi was demoted and dismissed from office, which is very popular, isn't it?"
Du Miao asked: "But what's the use of making good friends with these clan members?"
Xue Bai smiled slightly, looking a little mysterious. He hid few things from her, but he was not in a hurry to tell the whole story. He muttered: "We have offended Li Heng to death.
As for the matter of abolishing the establishment, the clan members still have a lot of say."
"You think so far?" Du Miao bit Xue Bai's shoulder and asked: "I think you want the heart of Mrs. Xu, Li's concubine? She will definitely be extremely grateful to you once the news comes out.
, maybe I wish I could commit myself to you."
Xue Bai shook his head, but he really hadn’t thought about this aspect.
Du Miao refused to let him have the energy to please Mrs. Xu, so she whispered in his ear: "I want to eat alone...

The next day, with the sound of morning drums, Xue Bai walked through Chang'an Street and arrived at Mrs. Guo's house.
At the gate of the mansion, servants were coming in and out, and they were all busy preparing their luggage. Although Lishan Mountain was not far away, they brought all the utensils they needed in daily life and filled many carts.
When we arrived at the inner courtyard, we saw Mingzhu waiting for Yang Yuyao to comb her hair. Qinglan had also prepared it early and was standing aside holding a package.
“Concubine, let her put the package down and pick it up after a while. She won’t be tired.”
As soon as Xue Bai arrived, Yang Yuyao made fun of Qing Lan.
She was wearing men's clothes today, because sometimes she had to ride a horse on the road. She stepped forward and hugged Xue Bai's arm, asking: "Am I so good-looking?"
“Better handsome than me.”
“Huai, are you busy with your official duties? It’s just that so many things happened at the last minute.”
“I finished my work last night.“
Yang Yuyao felt relieved now. She was a caring person and said softly: "Then when the road is flat, you can sleep on the carriage for a while."
Xue Bai said: "It is better to be cautious at this time. I will accompany you as Tai Lecheng, and I will come to find you secretly when I get to Lishan Mountain."
This is because Yang Yuhuan had already arranged for Tai Lecheng to accompany him, and he had no reason to follow Yang Yuyao's carriage.
“Come over that night, and I’ll help you get tired.”
Yang Yuyao said softly, turned around and assumed the posture of a male fox, and ordered: "Let's go."
Yang said that the residences of the three sisters of the Yang family are all in Xuanyangfang. In addition, Yang Zhao is now very effective in managing the Taifu, so he has also moved the residence to the south of Xuanyangfang. This time, the five Yang family cousins will accompany them.
, displaying their chariots and horses like a fight against the rich.
Suddenly, the scene became spectacular.
The five teams of carriages and horses of the Yang family are decorated in different ways. From a distance, they are all hung with red silk cloth. But when you look closer, you can see that the five red colors are different, like clouds and clouds gathering together, like the glow of hundreds of flowers.
The accompanying servants were all well-dressed, but what was more eye-catching were the maidservants, who were dressed in colorful silks, showing their arms as white and tender as lotus roots. They were wearing a dazzling array of jewelry, and the fragrance from their bodies filled Chang'an.
In this way, they went all the way out of the city, and then joined the imperial guards outside the city.
Looking around, I saw flags all over the sky, as if they were in a war.
Xue Bai rode his horse and left the Yang family's motorcade, and soon got stuck among the officials, unable to find the location of the Taile Office.
Xue Lang, what are you looking for?" Zhang Yuan asked, lifting the curtain in a luxurious carriage.
“Go back to the temple, sir, I can’t find the team from Taiyue Department.”
“I’ll take you there.”
Zhang Zan was overjoyed. He immediately said goodbye to his wife, got out of the car and got on the horse.
However, he did not take Xue Bai to find the team from Taiyue Department, but quickly got together with Si Qi Wang Li Zhen, Si Xue King Li Ta and others.
“Look, who I have brought.”
Xue Lang has done a great job. Once the newspaper comes out, will Li Gouzhi still be able to spread rumors?
Li Zhen was particularly enthusiastic about Xue Bai, as if they had suffered together through this incident.
Master Qi, you're welcome, I'm just doing what a minister should do."
“Li Miu steals the chicken but loses the rice.” Li Zhen looked very happy and said: “We have just accepted the order, do you know what official position I have now?”
Xue Bai pretended to be stunned, and asked politely: "But... the Taishi of Lantai, the Secretary Supervisor is in person?"
“Hahaha, exactly!”
Li Zhen looked up to the sky and laughed, her movements were free and open-minded, she really looked like Li Longji.
After saying that, he waved to his successor, King Li Tao of Xue, and asked: "Guess what position my third brother holds?"
Xue Bai looked over and saw that Li Tao was just smiling slightly, looking very calm and restrained.
“Has King Xue been appointed Zong Zhengqing?”
"good."
“Congratulations to King Xue.”
Li Tao nodded and said, "Xue Lang is really smart. You and I should get closer to each other in the future."
“Can’t get what you ask for.”
“It would be nice if Li Mi vomited out all the titles he had earned over the years.” Li Zhen smiled, and then said, “Do you know who the secretary, the young prisoner, has been?”
“Isn’t it always the left prime minister?”
“The saint sympathized with his hard work and made Wei Shu the secretary and supervisor, taking charge of the compilation of the book.”
Xue Bai responded: "The Prime Minister Zuo is indeed working too hard."
Everyone continued to chat, and then they talked about a small matter.
King Qing was determined to find an official position for his heir, and this time he finally got it. "
“I heard that I was promised Secretary Li as Supervisor.” Zhang Zan said, “But now it belongs to King Qi, right?”
“What is lost in the east is gained in the form of mulberry trees.” Li Zhen said: “The sage appointed Li as Wei Qing.”
“Really?” Zhang Zan pondered for a moment.
“As for the position of eunuch of the palace, it was given to Li Chenghong. You see, brothers Li and Li Mi, one is dead and the other is demoted, everyone is very happy.”
“Yes, everyone is happy.“
Several clan members laughed heartily.
Xue Bai drove his horse to deliberately fall behind them, and only smiled at this matter. He just paved the way for the future a little bit, without getting any apparent benefits, and no official position fell on him.
superior.
Of course, he is not looking for this official position...
