And speaking of it, this so-called newspaper called "Chang'an Daily" is made of paper after all.
If there are any problems, how big can they be? In the final analysis, this is just an extremely simplified book.
But something happened in the past few days, which caused Wei Zheng and others to have big heads.
Among the many articles published in this newspaper, most of them were anecdotes, so many people bought them at the beginning. It is said that Changsun Chong even took the opportunity to make a lot of money.
But just in the past few days, an article has been published on it.
At first glance, the content of this article does not appear to be disrespectful. It is just a roundabout criticism of Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty.
It is said that Xiang Yu was the main force in the resistance against Qin, while Liu Bang wandered without attacking, and in the end he conquered the world all by conspiracy and deceit, without a king.
On the surface, this article is talking about Liu Bang, but whether it is Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, or Fang Xuanling, none of these ministers are familiar with classics and history.
Who doesn’t know that this article says that Liu Bang is wrong on the surface, but in reality it’s saying that Li Er came to the throne illegally?
This is a big deal.
On the same day, Wei Zheng immediately sent people to find Changsun Chong directly, and all newspaper printing stopped immediately.
Changsun Chong was naturally taken into custody by Wei Zheng and others.
Of course, this matter must have something to do with Changsun Wuji. After all, there is no way his father would not be implicated if something happened to his son. However, Changsun Wuji and his people are currently running errands for Li Er in Nanhai. Of course, he cannot take the blame.
The big one.
The so-called instigating children to do things is certainly not the case.
However, problems also arise.
If it wasn’t Changsun Wuji who instigated it, then who was instigating it?…
Because it involved a high official in the court, Li Er's confidant, and his nephew, the matter was a bit complicated. Wei Zheng and others were confused, so they had to interrogate Changsun Chong first.
Not to mention anything else, let’s first see what kind of tricks this kid has and how wild he is.
After some interrogation...
Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui froze. Changsun Chong's answer was actually unclear.
Wei Zheng and the others accepted this statement, but they did not go to jail with Changsun Chong - mainly because the child was not very young, and Wei Zheng and others were experienced people, and they could see that Changsun Chong was really confused.
If this kid Chang Sun Chong really did it intentionally with someone, he would definitely not be so straightforward and say "I think it's okay for the younger generation." Faced with the questioning of the elders, a well-prepared criminal would not use such an offensive excuse.
It was not Changsun Chong's "good intention", and Wei Zheng and others didn't know whether to feel lucky or unfortunate. After all...
This article was not written by Chang Sun Chong, and the quality of the manuscripts published daily was certainly not high. As time went on, the review process became sloppy. Of course, this is not important anymore. The important thing is that they confirmed one thing, this
Sure enough, the manuscript... was not written by Chang Sun Chong, or someone Chang Sun Chong had befriended, but from a third party.
The vast sea of people, the vast rivers and lakes.
This article was sent anonymously, and Chang Sun Chong, a young boy, obviously lacked knowledge of the dangers of the world, so he decided to use it when he saw that the writing was good. After all, Chang Sun Chong did find during the operation that the production capacity of this daily publication was
It is actually satisfying, but what is not satisfied is the supply of articles themselves. It seems that I need professional newspaper writers.
Of course, Wei Zheng and others are not very interested in these things. The question now is still who wrote this shady and weird Spring and Autumn style of writing.
After some investigation, no clues were found, but the manuscript was picked up by Chang Sun Chong's clerk at the yamen gate in broad daylight.
Now, things get complicated. I don’t know whether this article was written by a person or a ghost. I wonder if I’m lonely?
Wei Zheng and others are now confused. As time goes by, these articles will be scattered everywhere. When the time comes...
This led to today's situation. Although Li Er was happy, several close ministers unexpectedly refused to give him any face. They all had bitter faces.
After listening to what Wei Zheng and others said, Li Er finally understood the situation.
There's something wrong with this rhythm. There's a Chinese smell in the air...
"This...if this thing continues, I'm afraid things will go wrong...Do you have anything to say?"
Li Er frowned, and then Wei Zheng shook his head,
"This matter... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to deal with. At present, we have temporarily banned the 'publishing house' of Chang Sun Chong, but..."
After thinking about it for a while, Wei Zheng felt that he still had to say it, and added, "But recently it is said that among the people... there are already other newspapers set up everywhere."
"this……"
Li Er suddenly frowned and his face turned pale.
Why did the Eastern Han Dynasty fall into division and melee? It was not because after the invention of paper, these celebrities seized the opportunity and manipulated the scholars into collaborating in a coup, which eventually led to trouble.
Now this...
How could Li Er be relieved?
But it was precisely at this juncture that Wei Zheng and others talked about it, but they couldn't think of any plan.
The imperial examination system could train the new intellectuals created by papermaking into poverty alleviation cadres and border guards, greatly improving national strength. But before the invention of the imperial examination system, the biggest impact of papermaking was actually the sudden death of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the division of the world into three parts, and
The Rebellion of the Eight Kings.
What is the concept of a population of more than half a billion falling sharply to more than 10 million?
This is troubled times.
Putting this ratio into modern times, it would be almost at the level of a total nuclear war or a biological crisis.
Li Er thought for a while and finally sighed heavily.
"It's not easy to ban these so-called 'publishing houses'... Now there is no other way. I, the Tang Dynasty..."
The national destiny has just taken off, but it is actually facing new political risks.
Wei Zheng and others looked at each other, meditating hard. Li Er looked at everyone's expressions and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but also somewhat understanding.
After all, this situation is unprecedented, so what to do is really a problem.
But soon... Wei Zheng suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Er.
This made Li Er excited. Holy shit... is there a way?
Wei Zheng's expression clearly shows that he has a solution.
"Xuancheng, is it possible that you are already confident?"
Not only Li Er, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also looked here in surprise.
Li Er showed an excited smile, but Wei Zheng shook his head, "Your Majesty, let's go find a meal with His Highness..."
Wei Zheng said seriously.
This time...
The excited smiles on the faces of Li Er, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui suddenly froze, and then they let out a sigh...
Well, for such a big matter... If I don't ask for help from His Highness, who can I ask for help?
