Chapter 2669 It's strange that the group of chaotic ministers and thieves can't kill Lao Tzu
When Cheng Sanlang and Li Ke entered the cabin, Li Shimin was too lazy to talk nonsense and explained the current predicament in Luoyang City.
I heard that many officials who are loyal to the country and loyal to His Majesty have been arrested and imprisoned. Today's officialdom in Luoyang is really a mess.
In short, he was either a traitor or a treacherous minister. Cheng Chubi couldn't help but secretly feel glad that he had arranged it properly at that time.
Otherwise, several of my brothers would probably be thrown into prison and eat prison food at this moment, and this would be light.
After all, the old Cheng family has always been hated in the civil servant circles, not to mention those aristocratic families who simply want to eat the flesh of the Cheng family and sleep on the skin of the Cheng family.
"...My dear son-in-law, I know that you are smart, so I specially called you here just to ask you if there is anything you can do."
"Only in this way can we control the rumors in the shortest time and let the world know about it in the first time.
I did not die of illness in Jinyang Palace, but led the army of Wu Ben of the Tang Dynasty back to Luoyang?"
Having said this, Li Shimin sighed quietly. "Now that the situation is clear, it's time to close the net."
"But I don't want too many innocent people to be involved, so I can only spread the news that I am still alive to Luoyang and make people believe it.
Only in this way can those people be thrown into disarray and it will be easier to clean up the mess."
"Your Majesty, this is actually not difficult. Just find a media with strong credibility to report the news."
As Cheng Sanlang's old brother, Li Ke reacted immediately.
"Brother Chu Bi, you mean, "Chang'an Xun Bao" and "Luoyang Xun Bao"?"
"Yes, with the smooth distribution channels of "Chang'an Xunbao" and "Luoyang Xunbao", there will be no problem in sending these newspapers to Luoyang City and the surrounding areas of Luoyang."
"Although Luoyang has been troubled since the revolution in Luoyang, the "Chang Sun Xun Bao" and "Luoyang Xun Bao" are in Luoyang City.
And sales in surrounding areas not only did not decrease, but actually increased by more than 10%."
"...It can still be like this." Zhao Kun couldn't help but mumbled in a low voice. Maybe it was because in the past, those two newspapers didn't do anything serious.
The only time it was serious was when the Tubo Kingdom was depicted wreaking havoc on the plateau, but that was also a long time ago.
Most of the pages of these two newspapers are filled with various novels, interesting and miscellaneous news, like the travel notes to Tianzhu written by Wang Xuance some time ago, and various commercial advertisements.
When Cheng Sanlang stayed in Jiannan Road, "Chang'an Xunbao" would always introduce the goodness of Jiannan Road, the beauty of Jiannan Road, and the rich products of Jiannan Road.
When the goods arrived on the plateau, the "Chang Sun Xun Bao" introduced the good things, the beauty of the plateau, and the rich products of the plateau all the time.
In short, the "Chang'an Xun Bao" looked at the world from Cheng Sanlang's perspective, and played a great role in promoting the operation of Han and Tang Dynasty merchants, while the "Luoyang Xun Bao" was not much better.
After all, Cheng Chubi knew very well that newspapers should not be involved in politics as much as possible. We only engage in business and not politics. Once it gets involved in politics, the court will be aware of the sensitivity of public opinion propaganda, haha...
How can the two newspapers "Chang'an Xunbao" and "Luoyang Xunbao", which are already very credible, make money?
#####
I am afraid that there is a high probability that it will be nationalized by my father-in-law who has no moral ethics, so I will make more money if I can.
But now, when the country is experiencing major political turmoil, Cheng Chubi feels that since he is a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, he should use the sharp weapons in his hands to do serious things.
Li Shimin looked at Cheng Sanlang blankly. His idea was really eye-catching. Hundreds of thousands of newspapers entered Luoyang City.
Just distribute it and spread it as soon as possible, and wait until those rebellious officials and traitors who are busy trying to persuade them to come in will react.
I believe that the streets and alleys of Luoyang City have already heard about the return of my king.
"Okay, okay, you are indeed my beloved son-in-law. You really have a quick mind. Over the years, the newspaper has been filled with some... Hmm, I didn't expect it to be of such use."
Having said that, although those newspapers are always full of various novels, romances, anecdotes, or a large number of various commercial advertisements.
But because it is so well-written, I will read it every time the newspaper is published.
Even those commercial advertisements have very powerful words and good artistic conception. Perhaps it is because of the impression that newspapers have given people for a long time, so no one has noticed that it can actually have such new uses.
#####
"By the way, nephew, do you know that many officials in Luoyang City have been dismissed from their posts or detained in prison."
"They are all the pillars of our Tang Dynasty..."
Hearing this, Cheng Chubi quickly replied without thinking.
"My son-in-law still knows a thing or two about this matter. Those two are missing from heaven and earth, ahem... the county magistrate and the chief minister under my son-in-law,
Now that they are in prison, my son-in-law is also very worried about their safety."
"It's a pity that my son-in-law is not in Luoyang and cannot be rescued. I can only silently wish them a safe escape from here."
Li Shimin raised his eyes sideways, looked at Cheng Sanlang, and stroked his long beard. Seeing that Cheng Chubi felt uncomfortable, he chuckled.
"Xian son-in-law, can't you understand what I mean? Or are you just pretending to be stupid?"
Li Ke's eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes fell on Brother Chu Bi, who was tall and mighty and had the experience of successfully rescuing hostages.
"Father, do you want Brother Chu Bi to go to Luoyang? If you want to rescue those loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty who would rather die than surrender, this important task must be done by Brother Chu Bi."
"???" Cheng Chubi turned his head and glared at Li Ke fiercely. What does this kid mean?
It’s true that I have extraordinary abilities, but the problem is that Luoyang is now the base camp of rebellious officials and traitors. Everyone knows my handsome face, okay?
As soon as I entered the area of Luoyang, no one could tell how many people would cry, shout, and scream, and the Cheng family would come back to Luoyang again.
To rescue a stupid hostage, it would be strange if those treacherous officials and thieves didn't kill me with their swords.
Li Shimin was also quite dumbfounded, pointing at his own son who had stabbed Cheng Sanlang in both sides and said angrily.
"Ke'er, don't mess around. With Cheng Sanlang's appearance, there is no one in Luoyang who doesn't recognize him.
I am not stupid enough to send my beloved son-in-law to die in Luoyang."
"My father-in-law is wise and far-sighted, unlike some people..."
Cheng Chubi saluted his wise and powerful father-in-law gratefully, and glanced at Li Ke with a fierce look in his eyes.
