Chapter 17 Establishing Huangming Newspaper Office

Wang Wenyan's eyes wide open, and his fingers trembled, holding the teacup brought by a maid in front of Wang An: "Has Dongchang really changed people?"

Wang An took the teacup and placed it on the high-legged table beside him, and nodded slightly.

After hearing this, Wang Wenyan swallowed and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "How could this happen? Isn't Wei Chao a companion to His Majesty and a person you have been training?!"

Wang Anze sighed and said, "Our family and the Wei Dynasty are both slaves of the emperor, and our power is also given by the emperor. If the emperor can give it to us, we can naturally take it back."

"Just this time I took Feng Sanyuan! What is the emperor going to do? Is he going to attack you?"

Wang Wenyan continued to speak.

Wang An was stunned for a moment, touched the face that had been slapped by Zhu Youxiao, then looked at Wang Wenyan and said, "The emperor really wants to attack our family, and our family has no choice. However, you are different. You are scholars and officials, who rule the world with the emperor, and are not the emperor's slaves. If you really don't like any slave of the emperor, you can impeach the emperor's slaves!"

After hearing this, Wang Wenyan nodded: "My father-in-law understands what his father-in-law means, but the disciple dares to ask, why did Wei Zhongxian suddenly become the factory owner of the East Factory? Can you tell me the depth of this person?"

Wang An glanced at Wang Wenyan, without answering, and just dipped it in tea and wrote the word "guest" on the table.

After reading it, Wang Wenyan suddenly realized it.

Then, Wang Wenyan bowed and said, "The disciple will do it now, and I will do my best to get rid of these two people for my father-in-law!"

Wang Anze continued to say, "Our family has already been sick and asked for leave. If you can't win, our family can't protect you anymore. Whether to die or be exiled to Fengyang is also the emperor's words."

...

"The emperor, Wang An has handed over a memorial saying that he was sick, so he asked him to rest at home!"

Liu Shimin, the eunuch who was in charge of documents in the direct office of the Sili Supervisor, sent Wang An's memorial to Zhu Youxiao.

After seeing this, Zhu Youxiao thought secretly and said to himself: "Wang An suddenly complained about illness, probably because he was dissatisfied with the fact that he had changed the Wei Dynasty, but how could he, an emperor, allow you, a slave to put a spy to monitor him! However, Wang An's delaying strategy was not conducive to the court, because if the court wanted to develop orderly, Wang An and Wei Zhongxian should check and balance each other, but Wang An took the initiative to give Wei Zhongxian a step, clearly trying to let Wei Zhongxian bear the artillery fire of the civil servant group alone, so that Wei Zhongxian would be defeated by the civil servant group. Wei Chao wanted to get rid of Wei Zhongxian by me, and Wang An wanted to get rid of Wei Zhongxian by the civil servants. This Wang An was undoubtedly even more hateful, and put his reputation in the eyes of civil servants on his loyalty to me!"

Zhu Youxiao said to Liu Shimin, "Let him ask for leave!"

Then, Zhu Youxiao asked Liu Shimin again: "What's your name?"

Liu Shimin hurriedly replied: "I am named Liu Shimin."

Liu Ruoyu, who wrote "Zhuo Zhongzhi"?

Zhu Youxiao remembered that there was an eunuch named Liu Shimin in the Ming Dynasty but later changed his name to Liu Ruoyu and was imprisoned and sentenced to the prison for being implicated in the Chongzhen Dynasty by Wei Zhongxian's case.

Then, this eunuch Liu Ruoyu may have been relatively honest in office, so he was greedy, so he couldn't afford to bribe civil servants, which made other eunuchs of the Wei Party use gold to buy their lives, and he was still locked up. In the end, he had to learn from Taishi Gong's methods and prove his innocence by writing historical books.

The historical book he wrote is the famous historical record of "Zhuo Zhongzhi" which records the secrets of the Ming Dynasty's palace.

Perhaps the civil servants knew the power of the pen, so they pleaded for it, which made Chongzhen spare Liu Ruoyu's death penalty.

And Liu Ruoyu saved his life with this ability.

But now Zhu Youxiao has to admit that this eunuch who loves writing books in history is not a simple person, and is very good at seizing opportunities that can make him stand out. No wonder he thought of saving himself by playing with a pen in history.

When Zhu Youxiao thought that he now had Wei Zhongxian who held a knife to take someone for him, he still lacked someone around him who would write and write an essay for him.

So, Zhu Youxiao decided to promote Liu Ruoyu and let Liu Ruoyu replace Wang An in the future.

Zhu Youxiao said, "You are a diligent person. You have not delayed such important things until tomorrow morning to report them to me. You should be a writer in the future! Wang An is old and weak, and cannot bear too much pain in the document. You can share the burden for him in the future. In addition, I will give you a name. You will call you Liu Ruoyu in the future. You should keep your fools and keep your own cleverness. Do you remember?"

"There are so many eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, and there are many who want to join the Lijian. Wang An is not short of him! Wang An wants to destroy Wei Zhongxian with the civil servant group, but even if the civil servant group can really destroy Wei Zhongxian, it will not be you who picked peaches! Want to be tactful with me? Don't check if you have this capital!"

Zhu Youxiao sneered secretly after saying this.

Liu Ruoyu happily raised his lips slightly and kowtowed, "Thank you for your kindness! I will remember the emperor's instructions!"

Then, Zhu Youxiao said: "I remember that Silijian has its own printing factory. You will draft an edict for me. In the future, there will be another Huangming Pao under Silijian to be responsible for publishing Huangming Pao to the outside world. You will be in charge of the printing factory and merge the editorial board. Now the official newspaper can only be regarded as a public briefing, which is not detailed enough, and it is easy to misinterpret my intentions and even the meaning of the court. The Shilin's posts are often biased and extreme. In the future, Huangming Paojian will make an official explanation of my decision to correct rumors in the world! Therefore, you should know the heavy responsibility of yourselves. If you don't do it well, don't blame me for changing people in the future!"

Liu Ruoyu didn't expect the emperor to let him do such a thing directly. He thought that this was to make people from the inner court compete with the civil servants in the current theory!

But Liu Ruoyu also knew that this was a good thing. After all, in this way, his inner court could strive to seize the right to speak in civil servants, which would also help improve the reputation of his inner court eunuchs, and his inner court eunuchs no longer had to rely on civil servants to gain a good reputation.

So, Liu Ruoyu hurriedly replied: "I will do my best to do what the emperor ordered!"

"Well, the first thing you have to do now is to immediately write about the fact that Dongchang received a search for Feng Sanyuan to get a hand in hand and accept bribes. However, the content of the article should make the officials believe that this was caused by Wei Zhongxian and Wei Chao because of Keshi. In addition, it should be explained that the search of the house is not a long-term solution, but it can solve the needs of the treasury for a while, so that officials with loyalty and loyalty to the country know that if they don't want to find a way to open up wealth, the search of the house may not stop!"

Zhu You proofread Liu Ruoyu's instructions.

...

"Searching the house is not a long-term plan, but it is also His Majesty's helpless move now. Brother Zhisheng, have you come up with a way to open up wealth? You can't let Your Majesty rely on scouting the house to accumulate money to strengthen the army, right? Now it's a search of the inner court, and then maybe the civil servants of the outer court will be the next one!"

In a teahouse near the Jingying School Farm, Xu Guangqi started talking to Sun Chengzong.
