Xue Bai finally finished his errands in the Taile Department and was bathing in the jade pool. Qinglan was rubbing his hair. Mrs. Guo Guo, who was chattering, said that her Lishan villa also had a hot spring pool.

It's comfortable, even more comfortable than this,

He also said that he would let me take a dip when the time comes. You must be bluffing me, right? I have to remember to put away my husband’s change of clothes later. Don’t forget it when I set off...

“She asked you to call her ‘Yao Niang’, so just call her.”

 “Then how presumptuous I am.”

Xue Bai turned his head and saw Qinglan with wet hair and bright eyes. He was looking forward to the trip to Lishan Mountain.

 This made him look forward to it.

Before she got out of the bath, Mingzhu called out from outside: "Xue Lang, your servant has come in."

"Um."

Qinglan was so frightened that she quickly folded her arms and curled up like a shrimp, even though she was still wearing obscene clothes.

Mingzhu didn't look at her, but said to Xue Bai: "Something happened. An imperial official complained, saying that Xue Lang and Yao Niang... are not innocent. Yao Niang is losing her temper. Can Xue Lang go and calm her down?"

"good."

Xue Bai immediately guessed what was going on.

He had already expected that those who were watching the newspaper office were keenly aware of the opportunity to deal with him. Today he filed a complaint and reminded him repeatedly to make the saint feel bad about the simple sisterly friendship between him and Yang;

If he files a complaint tomorrow, the saint will suspect him and report him to King Qing; if he files a complaint the next day, he will be accused of being a member of Li Ying's party.

Walking through the corridor, I heard Yang Yuyao losing her temper in the hall.

 “Which long-tongued ghost is meddling in other people’s business?”

ˆˆNN

Officials, public houses.

Chen Xilie held up the tea soup, blew on it, took a sip, and sighed: "There are really rumors everywhere in Chang'an City, and there are all kinds of things."

Du Youni is not good at pretending to be confused, but he is very good at pretending to be confused. He asked doubtfully: "I wonder what the rumors are?"

 They are all romantic affairs."

Chen Xilie stroked his long beard and looked like a gentleman. After waiting for a while, he saw that Du Youlin had a confused look on his face and could not speak, so he had to speak, "There is talk about the secret relationship between Xu, the step-concubine of King Xu, and Zhang Za, the consort."

Tong, it is also said that he had an affair with King Siqi or King Xue; some said that Zhang Zeng had an affair with Princess Tang Chang and gave birth to a child."

"What?" Du Youlin was burned by the tea soup and quickly wiped the table. "The world is declining." Chen Xilie smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Some people say that Xue Bai had an affair with Mrs. Guo Guo."

“This is true... I have heard about it for a long time.

"Having said that, Xue Bai is in the spotlight now. I heard another incredible rumor today. It is said that Xue Bai had colluded with Prince Qing a long time ago and knew in advance that Prince Qing's son was going to be the secretary supervisor.

Just now we have paved the way for this, guessing and making use of the holy will."

“Ahem, cough, cough, where did you hear this, Prime Minister?”

 “I heard it from the Prime Minister’s Office.”

 After saying that, Chen Xilie's face sank. This was already a clear threat - "If Xue Bai is not honest, the right prime minister will take action."

He was the only one who heard the rumors about Xu, and he spread all the other rumors in order to shock Xue Bai.

Du Youlin's expression suddenly changed and he was on pins and needles. "Prince Qing has adopted the son of the deposed prince. Once Xue Bai gets involved in this matter, it will be very troublesome." Chen Xilie sighed, "He is my subordinate, I really want to protect him."

He thought about it and decided to release it as soon as possible."

 “That’s the captain of Chang’an County.

"Still thinking about Chang'an County Lieutenant? Going out of the capital, out of the capital. The whole country??????????.????" Chen Xilie shouted, "Jiang Ning Cheng is such a good Ewang County County Magistrate

, the prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, the ecstasy of the Qinhuai River, the elegant residence of Wuyi Lane, he is still picky? If he hesitates, others will snatch it away. "

Du Youlin was stunned, but unfortunately he still couldn't make the decision. Finally he remembered and said: "I would rather be a red lieutenant than a county magistrate."

Chen Xilie also knew that this was a messenger. He raised his hand and pointed, cursing: "I really don't know how to rank. If you really want to be the captain of Ji County, there are five counties in Taigu, Wenshui, Yuci, Mengxian and Jiaocheng near Beidu."

County, choose a county and report it, I will find a way to get the right prime minister to criticize it."

Du Youlin's momentum was completely defeated, but he was still repeating it by rote, saying: "Only choose Chiki County, Jingzhao Prefecture."

 “That’s a good idea.” Chen Xilie said: “I want to protect him. If he is not in a hurry, let him go.”

Du Youlin was very anxious. After leaving the Yamen, he sent Du Wulang to ask Xue Bai if he wanted to go out as soon as possible. If that didn't work, he could choose a Jiwei from Taiyuan and seek promotion later.

But Du Miao was at home, sitting in the study and trimming her nails. She said: "I am confused. Taiyuan is so far away. If he goes, Ge Nu can easily control his examination. As time goes by, the holy favor will fade. Yang's

His sisters are also estranged, so what future does he have?"

It doesn’t matter if Du Wulang goes then, or if he doesn’t go.

“Go and ask.” Du Youlin urged: “It’s always right to ask.

Du Wulang then went there and came back and said: "Xue Bai said, don't pay attention to the old guy, wait until he comes back from Lishan and then find a way out."

"Really?" Du Youlin had been talking to Du about his recent reaction. Seeing that everything was as his daughter expected, he couldn't help but wonder: "Why are you asking about this?"

 “Just asking.” Du looked at his nails and said casually, “Let’s see what the attitudes of the government and the public are.”

 She doesn’t intend to leave any loopholes, so she can only see what the Prime Minister has to say, and then help spread the message of the Prime Minister in advance. It’s a small test. NN

As the moon sets and the sun rises, rumors continue to spread in Chang'an City. By mid-June, the weather is getting hotter and all preparations for a visit to the Huaqing Palace are in place.

Li Longji rarely took some time to deal with clan affairs today. He paused the banquet and leaned in the Nanxun Hall, reading the latest literary newspaper. He also held a small pen in his hand and wrote a few comments from time to time.

This is also strange. He was asked to review the memorial, but he didn’t want to review it. However, when it was replaced by this literary report, he was very happy to review it.

"General Gao, you see, there are experts in the market. This eight-poem poem "Wang Zhaojun Bianwen" is like a story, but it is rare. It can be called the history of poetry. "The thief and concubine died in the family, and I hated my family for stealing my soul."

He is also a talented poet...Ye Ping, I seem to have read his poems last time."

"Saint." Gao Lishi whispered: "The rumor was found out and it came from the newspaper."

"newspaper?"

Li Longji was surprised and shouted: "Is it the little guy Xue Bai who made the vote?"

He first flipped through the Wenxui newspaper in his hand, and then flipped through the Di newspaper that he had not yet had time to read, and said: "No."

 This is the newspaper."

Gao Litu bowed and handed another newspaper to the emperor.

Li Longji looked around and was surprised to see the four characters "Tianbao Shiwen" written on it. He took it and took a look, and found that there was not much content in the news, only Liao Liaoerze.

The first article published was about the death of the heir Xu King Li Zhen. This incident led to several romantic affairs. It was speculated that Li's step-wife Xu had an affair with Zhang Zan. Later, it was said that the heir king Li Zhen also had an affair with the Xu family.

I don’t know who the biological father of Li’s son is. The whole version is 520.????

 The second news is that Zhang Zan had an affair with Princess Tang Chang and even had a son in his early years.

 The next article talks about Xue Bai, the new champion of science and technology, having an affair with the lady of the country. It was not only a one-night stand, but also a deep-rooted love, which almost led to marriage.

  That is to say, it was the spirit of the Tang Dynasty that dared to discuss the affairs of these noble officials in public. After all, there were many more shocking scandals in the Wu Zhou Dynasty and the current dynasty.

Li Longji took the trouble to read it, not knowing whether he was angry or laughing.

 “This is not published by the Secretary.”

 “How does a sage know?”

"The difference is huge." Li Longji said: "The first is the paper. I used bamboo paper made in a folk workshop. It was not soaked long enough, so the paper was brittle and the ink was different. In addition, General Gao discovered that this use

The only thing is the engraving. There is no gap between the various messages. The fonts are large and unsightly... Also, you can see that these characters are all simplified."

Gao Lishi looked around and found that the newspaper had cut corners. Only the following was published:

 The death of King Xu and Li Guan", shoddy workmanship.

“The saint is really wise and unparalleled.”

“Someone copied Di Bao and published some eye-catching things. If I’m not wrong, this copy is not cheap.”

“Ten cents a share, no one from a noble family will buy it.”

Only officials and distinguished officials like to see this."

Gao Lishi said: "Actually, no one is watching.

 After that, he presented several new tabloids, some more refined, some more rough, and most of them copied by hand.

There is also a book called "Pearl Birthmark", which tells the story of Xu and Li Zhen. It is said that at the banquet where Li Can married Xu as his step-concubine, Xu fell in love with the handsome Li Zhen. Because Li could not

Fertility, Li Zhen's secret plan with the Xu family, to give birth to a son and heir, King Xu. This story is quite colorful. After reading it, Li Longji felt a little aftertaste. He thought for a while and found that some details were consistent with Li's experience. He couldn't help but frown.

raised eyebrows.

 “Is this also selling money?”

"Yes, this one has the highest price. It costs twenty yuan a piece, but many people buy it."

"This is treating public opinion as a business. Presumably, apart from selling, newspaper vendors earn more from money given by caring people."

 “The saint meant that someone bribed private book and newspaper dealers?”

"good."

Li Longji snorted coldly and looked at the next civilian newspaper. Suddenly his face darkened because there was a message in it that said, "Writing books, opening libraries, and publishing newspapers to benefit the country all came from King Qing." Very abrupt and disharmonious.

Feeling dissatisfied, he turned his eyes and thought that if Xue Bai really wanted to help King Qing, why not write to him after Li took over?

He then picked up the copy of "Tianbao Shiwen" and said: "Yesterday, the imperial censor impeached Xue Bai. Juro deliberately handed the copy to me. Is it because of these folk reports?"

“I don’t know, I think about it, maybe it’s true that there are such miscellaneous reports and impeachments?”

 “Are these also true?”

Gao Lishi responded awkwardly: "It shouldn't be that at least the character of King Si Qi and Prince Consort Zhang are trustworthy."

 “Find out who is spreading rumors.”

                                            

 “Summon Zhang Zan, Li Zhen, Xue Bai and others to have an audience.

"Your Majesty, I don't have you." Li Zhen looked solemn immediately after reading the newspaper, and said with a salute: "There is nothing wrong between me and the Xu family."

 The same is true for Zhang Zan, who responded: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not the case. I am innocent."

When Xue Bai saw it, he imitated him and said, "Your Majesty, I have absolutely nothing to do with this."

Gao Lishi scolded: "If you are innocent, why are there such rumors?

Li Zhen didn't want to cause these things, but she didn't expect that things would get entangled with her. She felt bad luck and responded: "If I were to guess, it was Li Mu who sent people to spread rumors to slander the Xu family in order to usurp the throne of King Xu."

“King Qi really wants to testify against King Baoxin?”

"yes."

"Why is Li Miao like this?" Li Longji asked lightly: "I have promised to adopt a son from him to my brother's name."

Xue Bai added: "Your Majesty, during the chat, I said that I wanted to stop Li Mu from doing anything. Maybe he heard it."

 "Nonsense."

Li Longji scolded and looked at Xue Bai again, knowing that Xue Bai had also offended Li Miao.

Gao Lishi looked at Zhang Zan and Xue Bai again and asked: "Where did your rumors come from?"

 Zhang Zan said: "It must be that King Baoxin wanted to confuse the public. Moreover, I expressed sympathy for the Xu family during the funeral, which made him feel jealous."

Xue Bai said: "The same is true for me."

“Xue Bai, you know the best about newspapers, do you think it was Li Mi who did it?”

"I don't know." Xue Bai said: "I think these public reports are too crude, and it is not appropriate to taint a woman's innocence in such a simple way. I ask your majesty to allow me to issue another report from the residence, so that we can listen carefully."

Li Longji planned to arrest those who publish newspapers among the people and punish them severely. After hearing what Xue Bai said, he pondered: "You go and do it first."

                                         

Li Longji said: "You can take these miscellaneous reports back and let me reflect on them!"

I know that I am wrong, and I will obey the order."

 After the three ministers retreated, Chen Xuanli hurried over and exchanged a few words with Li Longji in a low voice.

"The source of the private newspaper is still being traced, but I have found out some other things. There are some unspeakable things in Prince Xu's palace."

When Li Longji heard this, his face turned ugly, and he said: "Call Xu and his two sons to see him, and then call Li Mu to see him."

With a "pop" sound, Li Linfu threw a stack of people's newspapers in front of Chen Xilie.

“Even ordinary people can publish newspapers. How can you tell me that you can’t control the newspapers?”

“Right Chancellor, these are two different things. Look at how shoddy this publication is. It’s just some booksellers who want to make a profit and publish some at will.”

With a bitter look on his face, Chen Xilie picked up a copy of "Tianbao Shiwen" and read it. His eyes narrowed and he cursed: "This bastard is copying the rumors I spread."

Li Linfu became more and more angry and ordered: "Check, find out who is publishing these things for the benefit of others."

 These words were not addressed to Chen Xilie.

Chen Xilie responded: "Right Prime Minister, how to investigate this matter? If the sixteen guards of Nan Ya are allowed to disturb the people, have you ever thought that the saint has ordered Bei Ya to secretly investigate this matter?"

 “What do you mean?“

"It's hard to get back the original price of a private newspaper for only ten yuan. How many people are willing to spend money to buy it? This matter is unprofitable and naturally cannot last long. What's more, this matter has nothing to do with the right prime minister, why should the right prime minister get involved?

"

Chen Xilie had a reason for his words of persuasion. At the end, he added in a low voice: "Whose benefits did the publisher of books and newspapers receive? The Prime Minister clearly knows it, so why bother to mobilize troops?"

 Li Linfu asked: "Li Mu wanted his son to succeed King Xu, and the saint had already agreed. Why did he add unnecessary unnecessary trouble?"

“I must have been frightened by the boastful words of Li Zhen and others.”

Chen Xilie said: "Since the funeral, I have seen that the Xu family was very dignified. Li Mu probably also knew that if the Xu family could not be proven guilty of stealing someone, sooner or later he would not be able to hold on to his position as King Xu. What if the two children grew up?

, I feel like a saint again."

  "Silly, Li falsely accused Li Zhen of having an affair, but the saint wanted to summon those two children into the palace again to watch." Li Linfu said:

 “It’s self-defeating.”

Chen Xilie smiled and said: "Why should the Right Prime Minister pay attention to him? This matter has nothing to do with us, just let him go."

Li Linfu frowned and said: "The truth does not allow anyone to manipulate public opinion."

“There is no difference between rumors and civilian newspapers. They are nothing more than word of mouth or paper and pen. As soon as the official newspaper comes out, the coffin is sealed.”

With that said, Chen Xilie handed over the copy of "Tianbao Shiwen" and said: "The important thing is that these rumors should make Xue Bai feel dangerous. If the right minister can let him serve as Jiangning Cheng or Taiyuan Ji County Lieutenant, then

He can be transferred out of the newspaper office."

 “There’s no hurry.” Li Linfu said calmly.

“Yes.” Chen Xilie smiled and replied, “Let this guy worry.”

 The two prime ministers stopped discussing this matter and turned to the candidate for the new secretary-supervisor. This was what Li Linfu was really concerned about.

After a long time, Cang Bi hurried over and said: "Alang, the saint personally issued the decree."

 “Hurry up and greet.”

Li Linfu whispered to the people in the palace for a long time before reading the imperial edict.

Chen Xilie glanced at the police, only to see the stern face becoming more and more solemn.

  “Right Prime Minister?“

"The Secretariat Department has been divided into three." Li Linfu sighed and said: "The sage decreed that a separate Hongwen Hall was set up for students to borrow books; the Journaling Institute was also separated from the Secretariat Department, and for the time being it is still published by Xue Bai

Report."

"What?" Chen Xilie felt as if he was mourning Yao, and his heart ached, and he asked: "But...why is it so?"

"Li Miu is an idiot. He wanted to use the people's newspaper to control public opinion, but he was counterattacked." Li Linfu said, "The saint has made Li Jie, the son of Li Jin, the heir and king."

 “Why so sudden?“

“Li Miu even sent people to Prince Xu’s Mansion to create false evidence, which was verified by Beiya.”

 “He is so confused!”

Li Linfu said: "Everyone thought that the sage said that the two children did not look alike because they had met them. In fact, it was Li Mo who deceived the king and used the sage to say that 'the age difference between father and son is too big' to build momentum, so that no one dared to come forward. As a result,

, this newspaper aroused public outrage as soon as it was published. Li Miuwen is a habitual offender, and no one will believe him anymore."

As he spoke, he suddenly frowned and thought of a possibility.

How could Li be so stupid as to think of buying booksellers? It would be better to just spread the rumors, and the saint would not be so angry.

Looking at this result again, this matter is very confusing.

 After that, Li Linfu shook his head again, thinking that Xue Bai did not benefit from this, but lost some holy favors, and so did others... Then it can only be attributed to Li Mu being too stupid.

"The saint was furious and demoted Li to the title of Duke of Ying, and removed him from the posts of Shangzhuguo, Zongzhengqing, Palace Supervisor and other positions."

Chen Xilie was stunned for a moment and murmured: "In this case, two more positions of minister will be vacant?"

 Yes, this is the result of the concerted efforts of all the masters, and there is nothing we can do about it.”

Li Linfu rolled up the newspaper in his hand and clapped his hands gently. The more he clapped, the more urgent he was. Don’t worry about the others. You must get the newspaper house first! "

As he spoke, he took a few anxious steps and said, "Ask Xue Bai again, what position does Fangwai want? If it's not too much, I will consider it."

 Chen Xilie hadn't figured it out yet, so he couldn't help but wonder: "Right Minister, the whole thing still has "Go quickly?!" Li Linfu hurriedly yelled, "Can you afford the delay?!"
