Chapter six hundred and thirteen white horses are not horses
Jiang Zongxian, the censor of Zuodu, knew that Mr. Yuan Ge was embarrassed, so he took the initiative to stand up and attract everyone's attention, and said to the emperor: "The three witnesses have all given their statements, so I am going to ask the Holy Judge. I think we should use stone sacrifices with wine and
What Li Qianxian said."
Seeing that the ministers were so harmonious, Emperor Jinghe felt happy and issued an edict: "What you said is very good! The officials know that there is no need to let Youhe go. You can just stay in his original position."
Zhao Tianguan thought for a while and realized that although Mr. Yuan Ge's wish was fulfilled this time, he did not lose face or suffer any loss. It was just Li You who took the initiative to let go of others, so he stepped forward to accept the order.
Some were happy and some were sad. Everyone felt that Mr. You had really narrowly escaped death this time. He was almost standing on the edge of the cliff and was pulled back. He actually met Li Youfa, who was kind-hearted. This was really good luck.
.
However, Mr. Sun, the censor of the Fujian Province and the vice president of the newspaper, looked a bit gloomy. I thought that he would be a stumbling block and waiting for Li You to take action would be enough to create the "truth" that the emperor would have to adopt.
Then You Shaoqing can pack up and get out, and he will become the first vice president. As long as he doesn't make big mistakes in the future, he can almost definitely be promoted to a regular position. Who would have expected that Li You, a villain with no position, would suddenly put You and He
Saved!
At this time, all the matters of this court meeting had been concluded, and they were about to leave. Suddenly, another official of thirty-seven or eighty-year-old came out and loudly said to the emperor: "I have this memorial!"
Everyone looked at it and recognized that this was one of the six subjects of the inner court, the Etiquette and Control. Tang Wende was in charge of the matter, and he was also very qualified in the subject. The emperor yawned secretly, and had to say accurately: "Speak!"
Li You's heart tightened. He had heard that the memorial that impeached him was written by Tang Zhangke. It seemed that the person who came this time was evil.
Sure enough, I heard Tang Zhangke report to the emperor: "I impeach the imperial envoy of Youqiandu, who inspects the school, and Li You, the admiral of the Imperial Academy, abused his power and openly engaged in business!"
The ministers in the palace, who had begun to slack off a little, regained their energy. Mr. Li is indeed a born protagonist. It is rare for him to show up at the court meeting in Wenhua Palace and be able to focus all kinds of attention on him, intentionally or unintentionally.
On the body. This time it’s Li You’s time, it’s still exciting and not to be missed!
Although Tang Zhangke used the word "doing business", everyone knew that he was actually referring to Li You's establishment of a newspaper shop.
To be honest, how many people in the court didn't know that Li You acted so blatantly and invested money to open a newspaper shop? But they knew better that Li You was not a fool, on the contrary, he was an extremely shrewd person. He dared to show off. He was by no means a deceitful person.
The inside story is certainly not simple!
Therefore, most of the people in the court pretended to be confused with the attitude of waiting and watching, and acted wisely to protect themselves first. After all, Li You's publishing of the newspaper only made a few big bosses wary. In fact, he did not provoke anyone. There are only so many memorials to impeach Li You these days.
One or two.
What interests everyone is that Tang Zhang revealed this matter in front of the emperor and Li You today. Then Li You must have reacted, and maybe he will contribute some inside information to everyone. As for Tang
The fate of Zhang Ke himself will be decided in the future.
The soy sauce party members all expressed their intention to watch the show, while the thoughtful people thought about it individually. Tang Zhangke's move was considered to have taken the lead, and it is worth thinking about how it should be used.
People with deeper thoughts began to analyze, is this an isolated incident, or is it an incident with background and roots? Is Tang Zhangke responsible for the impeachment, or is he cooperating with others? Let's pay attention to the confrontation between the two sides first. A lot of information will definitely be revealed.
Li You turned around in his mind a few times and realized that he didn't know much about Tangzhangke, and he couldn't figure out his ins and outs.
While everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, Tang Zhangke continued: "As an official, Li You purchased a house in the east of the city, recruited craftsmen, and collected tools. This was clearly an illegal business practice!
In addition, as an imperial supervisor, he does not want to be diligent in royal affairs to repay the king's kindness. Instead, he focuses on private affairs and abandons public affairs for personal reasons. He uses his power to recruit supervisors for his own selfish interests. This is clearly another abuse of power!"
Tang Zhangke said it in great detail. Listed one by one, if all are true, it is not unfair at all to charge Li Youan with "an official doing business and abusing his power." I guess Mr. Tang will not use sweet words on such an occasion.
It is also certain.
To be honest, many people want to ask Li You this way, because it involves the legality of what he does, and is the most fundamental issue for him to run a newspaper. However, Li You behaves very indifferently and legally illiterate in this regard, which is very embarrassing.
It is inexplicable and heart-breaking. Li You, who can read the Ming Dynasty Laws intensively, should not be legally illiterate.
Under the direct gaze of countless people, Li You took a step forward and said to Emperor Jinghe: "Your Majesty, I have something to say!"
After getting the emperor's permission, Li You turned to Tang Zhangke and said with a smile: "Tang Shiyi's words are exaggerated and alarmist!"
Tang Zhangke was unmoved and said calmly: "Everything I said is true, how could it be exaggerated?"
"It's just looking for a place to print newspapers. How can it be considered doing business? So it is an exaggeration to say that Tang Shiyi heard about it."
Tang Zhangke retorted without showing any signs of weakness: "This is a sophistry! Although printing newspapers is an unprecedented new thing, you cannot deny it. You must know that there have been similar things in the world and you can compare them with each other!"
In my opinion, printing a newspaper is the same as printing a book, sending a newspaper is the same as publishing, and a newspaper shop is the same as a bookstore. The difference is just a different printing style, right? So if you print a newspaper, you will naturally
It should be considered doing business!”
Li You asked naively: "Is printing books considered doing business?"
"Bookshop printers carve book plates, publish them and sell them to booksellers all over the world. Although they are books, they are goods in this industry, and they are all bought and sold with money. So how can printing and selling books not be considered doing business? In contrast, printing books is
It’s almost the same as offering it for sale!” Tang Zhangke insisted.
After listening to Tang Zhangke's words, everyone thought that it was indeed true. As long as it involves the sale of money, it is business. No matter how eloquent Mr. Li is, he cannot deny this truth.
But then I saw Li You staring at Tang Zhangke, laughing. When everyone got impatient, he retorted: "Who said I sell newspapers? The newspapers printed by my newspaper shop are not sold for a penny.
Give it away for free! Can I ask Tang Shiyi, is this considered doing business?"
Everyone in the hall was really surprised by Li You's advanced concept. The newspaper he worked so hard to print is not sold for a penny? Even if he has money for blood transfusions, he can't continue like this all year round? Is Li You really trying to compete for public opinion?
, would you really pay for it out of your own pocket at all costs?
For a while, the courtiers in the palace were whispering to each other and discussing, but Tang Zhangke was obviously stunned. He was confused - if selling newspapers, it must be considered business, and selling newspapers must also be business. But if it is really like what Li You said
It costs nothing and is given away for free. Does that still count as doing business?
Not only Tangzhangke, many people are thinking about this question, is a commodity that does not require money still a commodity? If there is no currency involved in the transaction, is it still doing business?
Li You didn't speak for a while, giving everyone some time to think, and then he slowly said: "Please ask Tang Zhangke, if a clan in a certain township compiles a genealogy, and someone donates silver to pay for the engraving fee, ink fee, and paper fee,
Then we will compile several genealogies. Is this to be passed on as a virtue?"
In these days, donating money to build a family tree is of course a great virtue, there is no doubt about it. Li You didn't need to wait for an answer at all, and asked again: "So does this count as doing business?"
Without waiting for an answer, Li You asked a new question, "If a scholar obtains an ancient book that has not been handed down to the world, he will invest in engraving and printing the book himself, and then donate it to the government or a bookstore for preservation, in order to have the effect of educating people." Tang Shiyi said
Is this merit? Does it count as doing business?”
Then Li You raised a third question, "If a literary giant of the world writes a proud work, copies it several times and passes it on to everyone, does that count as doing business?"
Li You cited these examples and gradually put everyone's ideas on the track he expected.
Tang Zhangke was speechless for a long time, and said a little unbalanced: "Sophistry! It's just the sophistry of famous experts and white horses and non-horses!"
Before, he thought he had all the truths and at least let Li You pay attention to one thing and miss the other. Unexpectedly, Li You said a free gift and blocked all his truths. If he continued to talk like this, he was like a
joke.
It's not up to you whether you want to be sophistical or not...Li You put aside Tang Zhangke and told the emperor: "I will pay for the house, craftsmen, pen and ink, paper, miscellaneous work, etc. by myself. After the printing is completed, I will not take any penny.
This gift is given to various yamen and the common people, and it does not involve the sale of newspapers, so your majesty please check carefully!"
When Emperor Jinghe heard that Li You had listed a list of expenses, except for the item "movable type", he secretly cursed a few words, "Do you think I don't know that the emperor's sister lent the copper movable type from the Jing Factory and transferred it to you for use?"
However, you have to pretend to be confused. The emperor ruled: "It is unclear at the moment. Let's wait and see the consequences first. There is no need to be guilty of it. As the saying goes, you can cross the river by feeling for the stones. Let Mr. Li try it out for a while before discussing.
.If you can educate people’s hearts, do it as a good deed!”
Tang Zhangke had no choice but to fetch water from a bamboo basket, and impeached Li You himself. This should have been a serious matter, but it turned out to be a joke.
In fact, this process made the audience a little disappointed, because it was too understated. I don’t know whether the reason is because Li You’s level is too high, or because Tang Zhangke’s fighting ability is too poor.
The plot was supposed to be about Li You encountering a big problem, and then trying his best to defeat the enemy. However, it was surprisingly easy. Li You easily defeated Tang Zhangke's provocation, and Tang Zhangke easily lost the battle with Li
Yu face to face battle.
It doesn't matter if it's easy, but in the end, neither side's true story was revealed, and the theatergoers gained nothing. Neither did they know the underlying factors behind Tang Zhangke's impeachment of Li You, nor did they understand the complicated inside story of Li You's running of the newspaper.
At this time, some people were still wondering whether they should go out to impeach Li You for having ulterior motives and trying to manipulate public opinion? But they finally resisted. Nowadays, there are no words in the newspapers, so this impeachment is nothing but nothing, and it will not be of any use. The emperor has already said it first
Discuss after observing the effect.
However, Li You's sophistry seems to have opened a window in the hearts of many people, especially those ministers from wealthy families. It turns out that printing newspapers for free is not called doing business, so is it possible to fund one?
If you have money, print more. If you don't have money, print less. It's not a bad idea to distribute them for free to make a name for yourself. The method developed by Li You's ingenuity can never go wrong.
There are also relatively poor ministers who think that although they cannot afford to run a newspaper, they can find people with similar ideas to co-run it...
