Chapter four hundred and seventy-two ulterior motives
Chapter 472 of the main text of the Ruyi Young Man, has an ulterior motive? Majesty, domineering, wise and mighty, tall and stalwart... Before time travel, Tang Ning had this impression of the emperor.
After traveling through time, Chen Huang completely overturned his understanding of feudal emperors.
Greedy, stingy, cunning, seemingly affectionate, but can be cold-blooded and ruthless when necessary. The emperor is ruthless. It is said that there is no family affection in the Tian family. It is normal for fathers, sons and brothers to cut each other off, but as an emperor
, being so stingy that he was asked to deliver a newspaper to the major government offices in Beijing every day without ever mentioning remuneration was a bit stingy.
What he did was not even considered plundering, it was simply naked plunder.
Tang Ning was much more generous than Chen Huang. She reprimanded her in her heart for a while and stopped worrying about the few pennies.
He has been too busy during this period, and now he finally has some free time. The New Year is coming soon, so he plans to put down his work first and take time to spend time with Xiao Ru Xiaoyi.
We had agreed to go out for a walk with them today, but as soon as we walked out of the house, our father-in-law and mother-in-law suddenly came to visit us, so we had to turn back.
Su Ru Zhongyi was chatting with Chen Yuxian in the room. Zhong Mingli walked up to Tang Ning, took something out of his sleeve, handed it to Tang Ning, and said, "Did you authorize the newspaper printed by Tang Ren Zhai?"
Tang Ning nodded. In an era when entertainment was extremely scarce, news was transmitted very slowly, first by mouth, and second by government notices. After the outbreak of new media in later generations, newspapers have been almost abandoned, but here, it is still
Something very advanced.
Zhong Mingli looked at him and said: "I have also read the newspapers in the past few days. There is nothing else. However, when it comes to discussions about state affairs and court officials, it is better not to write more about it to avoid blaming the court."
Tang Ning knew very well that although newspapers were still a new product in this era, they were closely related to public opinion. If they wrote too much, the court would definitely not sit idly by.
Therefore, he is extremely strict in censoring the content published every day and strives to be politically correct and not touch red lines. There is also a lot of knowledge in how to grasp the standards.
Otherwise, if the imperial court takes away the hat of talking about state affairs and imperial officials, the Jingshi Daily, which has just developed, will be nipped in the bud.
Tang Ning looked at Zhong Mingli and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law. Your Majesty has already issued an oral order, asking Tang Renzhai to deliver a newspaper to all major government agencies every day. I will take good care of the scale."
"It's good that you have an idea." Even His Majesty agreed. Zhong Mingli was relieved after hearing this and said: "You go ahead, I'll go and play two games of chess with Old Tang..."
…
Tangrenzhai.
Early in the morning, the stall owner of the breakfast stall had just set up his stall and walked to the door of Tangrenzhai. He threw a copper coin over and said, "Brother, here's a newspaper."
The newspapers in Tangrenzhai are very cheap. You can buy them with one copper coin. One copper coin can only buy half a meat bun and half a pot of tea. You can use it to buy a newspaper, read current events, and learn about the private lives of noble people.
Many people are willing.
The waiter took the money and handed over a newspaper. The stall owner handed it to a diner in the stall and said, "I can't read, please read it for me. You won't be charged for this bowl of noodles."
The shabby scholar at the stall took the newspaper and was happy to make the deal. He ate and read the newspaper.
After reading it, he said: "The newspaper said that the New Year's Day is approaching. This year, the curfew will be lifted in the capital starting from the 28th of the twelfth lunar month... Hehe, it is a few days earlier than in previous years. The New Year's Day should be more lively.
."
"I was able to sell a few more bowls of noodles that year, and the business at the night market was very good..." the vendor muttered, and then asked, "What else is there?"
"There are also anecdotes about several adults in the court. It says that Mr. Li, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, used to be in the Ministry of Water. When he was ordered to provide disaster relief, he always rushed to the front. He was washed away by floods twice and almost died.
..., it is said that the people of Runzhou erected a statue of Lord Li on the embankment to show their gratitude to Lord Li."
The hawker said: "Master Li is really a model for all officials. If there are officials like Master Li in the court, the people will have a good life... What else is written above?"
"The son of Liu Feng, the Minister of Rites, got into a fight a few days ago and was taken into custody by the county government. The Ping'an County government reminded the powerful officials in the capital that they should restrain their children as the New Year approaches..."
The breakfast vendor shook his head and said, "One is Master Li and the other is Master Liu. You said these are both officials. Why is there such a big gap between officials?"
The shabby Confucian scholar put away the newspaper and asked, "Can you give this newspaper to me?"
The vendor waved his hand and said, "Take it."
The shabby Confucian scholar thanked him with his hands, stood up and left, walking along the street. Soon he came to an official office and walked in.
He walked to a certain government office, knocked on the door and went in, saying: "Master Zhongcheng, I have read the newspaper of Tangrenzhai, and it is quite satisfactory. It does not make excessive remarks about state affairs, but it does make some comments about officials in the DPRK and China..."
Censor Zhongcheng stood up, waved his hand and said: "There is no need to check. His Majesty has just decreed that all the major government offices in Beijing must read Tangrenzhai's newspaper. Please arrange it and have someone pick up a few copies every day."
When the censor heard this, he was startled for a moment, then nodded and said, "I will go and make arrangements now."
Censor Zhongcheng read the newspaper again and murmured: "Liu Feng, Li Yan..."
What is the situation in the palaces of the powerful officials in Beijing? The common people have their own opinions, praise and criticism, but only in secret. The Tang Renzhai newspaper does not shy away from talking about it at all, and talks about it quite casually.
, but he also grasped the scale very accurately and only stated the facts without making any comments.
There is no doubt that if a name appears on this, whether it is good or bad, it will be known to everyone in the capital in a very short time.
It remains to be seen whether His Majesty’s decree also has the intention of urging officials...
Ministry of official affairs.
Fang Hong put a piece of paper on the table, looked at an old man and said: "Master Zhou, this is the list of ten people reported by the ministries. If there are no problems, we should send it to your Majesty tomorrow."
Although the Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the promotion and assessment of officials, for senior officials such as the First Minister, they only have the right to nominate but not decide. The final candidate still needs to be determined by the emperor.
Zhou Shangshu picked up the paper, looked at it, and said: "It seems that the right minister this time is between Liu Feng and Li Yan..."
Seemingly thinking of something, he shook his head and said: "Although Li Yan's political achievements have been mediocre in recent years, there is nothing wrong with him. The family tradition of Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Rites is a bit bad..."
Lack of family tradition and naughty children are problems faced by many families in Beijing. However, it is rare for someone like Liu Feng, the Minister of Rites, to be cited as a model. What’s more, His Majesty has decreed that Tangrenzhai’s newspaper should be published in Beijing.
It is a must-see for officials. I am afraid that everyone will know about Liu Shilang's lax family tradition...
He picked up a memorial and copied the names of the ten people. When he started writing, he thought about it and wrote the name of Li Yan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, first.
Liu family.
Liu Feng looked at the newspaper in his hand with an ugly face. At the critical moment when he and Li Yan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, were competing for the position of the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the newspaper praised Li Yan as a model official, but instead mentioned the incident of Liu Li being arrested in a fight.
Written on it, it clearly has an ulterior motive.
Comparing the two, wouldn't it mean that he is inferior to Li Yan from the Ministry of Industry?
After all his calculations, he still missed this treacherous son. He slapped his son angrily and said angrily: "I told you to be honest a long time ago. Who asked you to fight!"
Liu Li covered his head with an aggrieved look on his face and said, "This is none of my business. Ling Feng and the others did it first, and I was beaten..."
Liu Feng said loudly: "If you don't provoke them, will they provoke you?"
"I really didn't provoke them..." Liu Li defended: "They wanted to cause trouble for Tang Zhao. When Tang Zhao ran away, they took it out on me..."
Liu Feng frowned and said, "They are causing trouble for Tang Zhao. What does it have to do with you?"
Liu Li looked at him resentfully and asked, "Why are they looking for me? Dad, do you really not know?"
