The seemingly barbaric and child's play duel took place between two superpowers. To the people of the Tang Dynasty, especially the Tang royal family, they did not find it strange at all.
Before the founding of the Tang Dynasty, they were just Han Chinese with Hu people's ancestry. At that time, when the nomadic peoples competed for the fertile grassland, they often chose this method to decide who owned this fertile pasture.
Even after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the late emperor Li Shimin was even happy for them to solve the problem in this way when dealing with conflicts between noble families. Therefore, when Li Hong and Saleh chose this method to solve the problem, it was not Make people think it is funny or childish.
Saleh never expected that he would be defeated so miserably. When he led the remaining defeated soldiers out of the woods, the embarrassed and exhausted Saleh could not even wipe the coagulated blood on his face, and immediately looked deeply into the sky. breathing.
The moment he walked out of the woods, he felt like seeing the light of day again, finally escaping from the oppressive hell.
He had already expected that Li Hong would never let go of such an opportunity to publicize his great victory over Dashi. As expected, when he walked into the Central Army barracks in embarrassment, he saw envoys from various countries, including Tocharian The king is also in it.
When everyone faced them, who smelled of blood all over their bodies, especially when they looked at the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, their eyes showed awe and respect. As for the look on him, there was nothing but pity and a sneer. You can even hear some people making sarcastic remarks in Tang dialect about not overestimating their abilities.
"Has the purpose of shocking small countries been achieved?" Saleh asked Li Hong next to him with a self-deprecating smile.
"Am I that kind of person? They all came here after hearing the news and have nothing to do with me." Li Hong said with a smile, and then he saw Saleh and the remaining dozens of cannibals. Under the guidance of the soldiers, we went to bathe and change clothes.
Li Zhi, who didn't sleep all night but spent the night in a daze in the Daming Palace, walked back to his dormitory to rest with satisfaction after receiving the memorial from Xiaohuangmen.
When Li Zhi was in a daze and didn't want to wake up, Li Lingyue had already ran into the palace and was chatting with her mother about something unknown. So the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had no choice but to start changing clothes under the service of the palace maid. He was very curious. What is Princess Taiping doing
After Li Lingyue became "ambitious", especially after combining it with the eye-catching title of the scandalous fight between Li Hong and Saleh at the Yuan Dynasty meeting, she began to think about another eye-catching story. The title is solid, it is the Secret Affairs of the Palace.
The historian's face was so angry that he felt as if he had eaten two flies. If the emperor and empress' daily life were made public as requested by Her Royal Highness the Princess, wouldn't they be unemployed
So looking at Her Royal Highness the Princess who was holding the banknotes and following the Queen, the historian's face kept twitching, and he wanted to interrupt, but in the face of Her Highness the Princess's fast mouth, he tried hard to open his mouth several times, but there was no chance. Chime in.
Wu Mei was so annoyed by Li Lingyue that she had nowhere to go. Finally, she obeyed Li Lingyue's request and sat behind the desk in the study. Looking at Li Lingyue who looked serious, she took the paper and pen in her hand and began to conduct a so-called exclusive interview with her. .
"Li Hong taught you these, right?" Wu Mei asked helplessly.
Why would this popular publication make a fuss about the royal family? Wu Mei couldn't figure it out.
"Brother Huang didn't teach me this. For the first step of my son's life, please make some sacrifices." Li Lingyue begged Wu Mei, and then handed Wu Mei the news about the Central Army that she sent someone to write today. Watch charmingly.
"I'm afraid they are all dignitaries who can afford your publication called 'Fang Jian Tian Xia'? Can a title like yours attract them?" Wu Mei was very curious and was not optimistic about Li Lingyue's suggestion.
But looking at the princess, whose eyes were red and it was obvious that she had not slept all night, she was still a little distressed and prepared to cooperate with Li Lingyue.
"Everyone has their own needs. The literati want to know what is happening in the court. The dignitaries want to know what the literati are thinking. The court wants to know what the people of Li are thinking. And the people of Li, I want to know if you and your father are thinking about them, so you still think you can't sell it? Let's order it for one year, and we can get a discount." Li Lingyue showed off her grasp of people's curiosity. said.
Listening to Li Lingyue's words, Wu Mei knew without thinking that Li Hong must have taught her this, so she did not refute the enthusiastic Li Lingyue.
But behind Li Lingyue, there was a sound of footsteps: "Then you tell me what the officials in the court and the people of Li are thinking and what they want."
Li Zhi's voice sounded energetically behind him, but Li Lingyue didn't even look back. She held up her delicate little chin, straightened out the small steamed buns that were just growing, and said proudly: "Father, Your Majesty, if you want to know what the people in the world are thinking and what is being circulated in the streets of Chang'an City, you have to buy my publication "Fang Jian Tian Xia" to find out, and I promise that these are absolutely true. "
"It's a good idea. You, the 'Fang Jian Tian Xia', can supervise the courtiers and those local bullies or rural gangsters on behalf of Yushitai, but... isn't your imperial brother afraid that you will use this publication for personal gain and blackmail him? "Wu Mei hit the mark and immediately grasped Li Lingyue's seven inches.
Obviously, how could Li Hong leave such a threatening voice to Li Lingyue? According to the number of times Li Lingyue has been cheated by her imperial brother in recent years, if Li Lingyue slandered and spread rumors about Li Lingyue in this 'public world' publication, Hong, didn’t Li Hong shoot himself in the foot
"Well, the Queen Mother is right. This first publication needs to be reviewed by the Emperor's brother before it can be printed. Therefore, I am actually his errand boy." Li Lingyue's mouth narrowed, and she was so excited. Most of the enthusiasm was extinguished in an instant.
"Your imperial brother has entrusted you with supervision and management. It is obviously based on his trust in you. You don't have to be discouraged. If you have any problems in the future, just go to your mother and she will help you make decisions. But... you must remember, This is an invisible weapon that kills people. If you don't do it correctly, you will hurt yourself. Remember, it must be beneficial..." Wu Mei supported Li Lingyue uncharacteristically, which surprised Li Zhi. He never liked the queen who was causing trouble with Li Lingyue. Today. What's going on here
"The country and the country are beneficial to our royal family and our father. We can supervise each other among the court officials, but we must control the degree. The Yushitai and Dali Temple must report, and the disciples and Zhongshu must have a good relationship. ." Li Lingyue took over Wu Mei's words and said with some gloominess.
She has been smart since she was a child, and together with her partner Shangguan Wan'er, who is no less smart than her, these two girls are very bright and imaginative. In Li Hong's eyes, they are actually the most suitable ones. Candidate.
Just like in the previous life, how can we grasp the balance between politics, entertainment, miscellany, leisure, poetry, books, etiquette, morality, etc., and whether we can create an authoritative publication that takes into account all aspects.
As for the name of the publication, she and Shangguan Wan'er had to pick and choose among dozens or hundreds of names, and finally chose this name that was very close to ordinary people. It was also to win over the literati to be close to the publication. meaning.
Li Zhi has not been keenly aware of it until now, but the short conversation between his queen and Li Lingyue and the superficial understanding of Yuan Ri in the past few days have already made Wu Mei realize that Li Hong supported Li Lingyue's plan. This kind of publication has great benefits to the country of Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, as long as the direction of this kind of public opinion is controlled, as long as this "public opinion" has the persuasiveness to convince people, as long as its authority can be established in a short period of time, this will be no less than the Yushitai. , an institution that even exceeds the role of the Yushitai.
This made Wu Mei even have to wonder whether Li Hong had ordered Bai Chun to use Jingwei's power here.
But no matter what, the early stage of this 'world in the world' must be to establish its authority and trust in people's minds.
After all, with Wu Mei's keen eyesight, she could clearly see that the final purpose of this publication must be to become a weapon to eliminate dissidents and kill people invisible, and it must be firmly controlled by Li Hong.
From this, it can be seen that Li Hong's guard against Li Lingyue is obviously much lower than his guard against Li Zhe and Li Dan. Otherwise, with Li Dan's current love of studying in Chongwen Hall, it will be completely There is someone more qualified than Li Lingyue to do this.
The reason why Li Hong was so prepared and handed over to Li Lingyue with such confidence was that, on the one hand, he had established the future status of the only princess in the Tang Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty. On the one hand, it may have set a direction for Li Lingyue's future, not to mention that Shangguan Wan'er, who was flirting with him, was holding Li Lingyue in check.
As for abandoning Li Zhe and Li Dan, this is also easy to understand. Li Hong's so-called "world in the world" is obviously to serve him and the stability of the Li family.
The supervisor of this publication needs to communicate with the three provinces and six ministries, Yushitai, Dali Temple, etc. If Li Zhe and Li Dan are used, this will give them the opportunity to win over the officials and make friends. , Obviously Li Hong has realized this a long time ago.
The reason why I haven’t started working on this publication for so long is probably because I haven’t found a suitable candidate, right? In fact, he should have already had such a plan.
So when Li Lingyue followed Guan Wan'er and "thrown herself into the trap", Li Hong just handed the matter over to Li Lingyue.
The reason for them to do it is that, after all, they are girls, and their initial behavior will obviously not arouse people's suspicion and speculation about the ultimate purpose of this publication.
