Li Zhi frowned involuntarily when he heard the Queen describing this publication called 'Fang Jian Tian Xia' as killing people for invisible benefits.
In his opinion, this was just Li Hong coaxing Li Lingyue and Guan Wan'er to play with the two girls. Why did the queen say it was so serious
What made him even more confused was that even though Wu Mei warned Li Lingyue so seriously, Li Lingyue didn't refute her mother's fuss. It looked like she agreed with her mother's statement.
But before Li Zhi could ask the reason in front of Li Lingyue, he saw the mother and daughter, one sitting behind the desk and the other sitting in front of the desk, spreading out her small book and starting to ask the queen seriously.
Every time she asked a question, the queen would answer. After repeating this several times, Li Zhi listened to the shortcomings of their parents. That clan member gave birth to a daughter and originally wanted a boy, so the emperor's uncle was beating his chest and crying in the palace.
Either one of the clan members came to the palace and told the queen that the prince-in-law had taken in another child from Pingkangfang, but the princess drowned him in the well within three days of arriving home. The two are now quarreling in the palace. The world has been turned upside down, and the servants are living in fear every day.
Or maybe the two brothers had a dispute about the size of the title because the eldest was incompetent and the second was shrewd because of the title.
Li Zhi had a headache listening to these messy things, because during the years when he was not in charge of politics, royal family members, and even noble families would often come to him for judgment on trivial matters.
Sometimes Li Zhi even felt that he, the future Supreme Emperor, was more like a seventh-grade county magistrate who lived in the palace and specialized in settling family affairs for royal family members and noble families.
"Imperial brother is ten years old and still wets the bed?" Li Lingyue was stunned.
"Yes, is it amazing?"
"Then I'll write it down."
"Let the mother think about it, what else is going on? Does it count to peek at the bath? Was she beaten by Chengyang and Lanling together? Also, she left the palace when she was four years old. She came back crying once and said Who was that... Oh, Zhao Ling'er beat him..."
"Isn't this an embarrassment of the Seventh Emperor's brother? Why is he the Emperor's brother?"
"Oh? Really? That means the queen mother remembered it wrong, but it's okay if you write it as your imperial brother. I think literati will like to read it."
"That won't work. This is all for the emperor's sake. You asked me to write like this. You are obviously not helping me. I don't know how my brother will deal with me then. Also, why does this son feel like he was my child when he was a child? Why did you settle the matter with the emperor?" Li Lingyue stared at her mother with twinkling eyes.
"Is it easy for you to be a mother? It's normal for those of you who have given birth to such careless children to misremember. How about... you go ask the court officials what they like and want? They are all promoted by your imperial brother now. Yes, you may also know more anecdotes." Wu Mei comforted Li Lingyue, whose face was a little angry, but her words were still out of tune.
"Okay then, I have resigned. Let's interview my father in the next issue." Li Lingyue's voice was full of exhaustion.
She thought that interviewing her mother would be an extremely relaxing and comfortable thing, but she didn't expect that it would be the most tiring thing for her. Her mother didn't follow the routine at all, she just talked to herself, even under her own guidance. Yes, I have to write according to what she said. If it doesn’t work, I have to find a way in the future.
Seeing the lost and charming figure leaving, Wu Mei suddenly showed a happy smile. Facing Li Zhi's puzzled eyes, Wu Mei said with a sense of accomplishment: "If I didn't say so, I'm afraid it would be wrong." After Li Lingyue tasted the sweetness of the first issue, she could come eight times a day. Now that the first time was not smooth, she would have to think more carefully next time she came, and she might not be able to deal with the Royal Secrets section. It’s better to remove it.”
"I don't care what you just said, I just want to know, is the publication Li Lingyue created really so powerful, killing people invisible?"
"Not yet, it will be hard to say in the future. But haven't you noticed that this is another way that Li Hong is using to veto and design a resolution that you have always wanted him to express in the court? "I have also helped you urge him several times. Li Hong opposed Tong Jie's proposal at the beginning, but now it seems that he was right. I and you were both wrong." Wu Mei sighed as she spoke. tone.
She came up with the idea of bronze to enable the officials in the court to speak widely, to report to each other, to supervise the officials above the court, as well as to the scholars who begged and recommended themselves, to understand agriculture, the people, and the country, as well as to the subordinates. A copper box was designed to face the different voices in the court, including some conspiracies.
There are four gates in the bronze gate, and each gate has its corresponding function. You can go to the first gate if you beg for self-recommendation, the second gate for the community and the people, and the third gate if you are dissatisfied with the court's decision. Conspiracy, informing, and exposing Reports can be submitted to the fourth channel.
Each opening can only be put in, but cannot be taken out at will. The only people who can open the copper seal and check it are the emperor, the queen and the prince.
The historical Tonghuo was naturally built at Wu Mei's suggestion. It had some positive effects at the beginning, but in the end, it became a tool for court officials to frame, accuse, and criticize each other, making it It lost its original meaning, and thus the cruel officials of the Tang Dynasty were truly born.
So when Li Hong received the proposal from Li Zhi and Wu Mei, he immediately objected. Faced with the questioning expressions of the old couple, Li Hong could only extend the matter and analyze the pros and cons of Tong Hao to the two. People listen.
Seeing the two people's disapproval, Li Hong finally had no choice but to set up two bronze crocodiles in the square of Xuanzheng Hall under the two trees he proposed to plant.
The meaning is that through the origin of the two trees, I hope to warn some ministers who still have evil intentions and want to secretly criticize their colleagues.
But obviously this is not a long-term solution, so after Li Lingyue and Guan Wan'er came to the door, Li Hong's newspaper and media plan came to mind. Using this to replace Tong Hao was definitely the most perfect.
What's more, with Tong Hao's original design, who knows if the Dragon Mother in history had the same idea as him, hoping to stabilize the court and the country and eradicate dissidents by controlling the right to speak
Li Hong didn't know, but Wu Mei was able to see through Li Hong's thoughts from the magazine designed by Li Hong. This obviously shows that when Wu Mei first set up the copper gun, she also wanted to create a weapon that could kill people invisible. Otherwise, no matter how smart she is, she will not be able to figure out Li Hong's final intention at once.
It is worthy of knowing that a son is as good as his mother. Whether it is the prince or the queen, they have already seen the importance of the right to speak and the guidance of public opinion. It is just that Li Hong's method was wrong here.
Shangguan Yi also had a headache. The copper coins had already given him enough headaches. No one knew what was inside the two copper coins. Although it had just been implemented now, it had already made some people feel uneasy and frightened. .
And now, his granddaughter began to beg for mercy in front of him again, for no other reason than to hope that there would be a notice to her about the future resolutions of the Ministry of Education!
Moreover, he threatened him with the Crown Prince in a righteous manner, which made him feel helpless and helpless when facing his smart granddaughter.
"We'll discuss it again, and we'll discuss it again." Shangguan Yi waved his hand and asked for the tea cup. If you like it, Wan'er, you can keep it for drinking tea.
"No!" Shangguan Wan'er stopped in the main hall and watched her grandfather shout righteously.
"Auntie, the Zhongshu Provincial Department is an important government office of the imperial court. All decisions, even from officials of the third rank, must be reported before they can be classified and reviewed in batches according to their positions. You need the Zhongshu Provincial Department to file a copy for you. Chongwen Hall? This is not in line with the rules. There is no such thing in the Tang Dynasty's laws, isn't it? .
"But I have His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's decree, and you must give it to me, and you must also ask the three provinces, six ministries and other government agencies to subscribe to our 'Fang Jian Tian Xia'." Shangguan Wan'er straightened her little face and said with a proud look.
"Nonsense. The money in each government office belongs to the emperor and the prince. How can grandpa spend it at will? I'm also buying your publications. Is it possible for grandpa to pay for you to buy a copy?" Shangguan Yi looked at his gray beard. It was full of helplessness.
"Can't you just draft a decree? Leave it to your subordinates for approval. After His Highness the Crown Prince approves it, just give it to the Minister. Then won't you be able to legitimately use the court's money to subscribe to various government offices?"
"It's nonsense, nonsense, nonsense. I'm going to find the Crown Prince right now. How can I let you and the Princess act so recklessly? It's not decent or decent."
"You are no longer the Prince's Young Master. If you want to go to the East Palace, it won't be as easy as mine. You'd better not go. How could your granddaughter lie to you? Besides, Her Royal Highness the Princess is also involved."
"Are you saying that you are trying to convince me at home? Your Highness the Princess is in the palace right now, trying to convince Your Majesty and the Queen?" Shangguan Yi was so frightened that his beard jumped. What is Your Highness the Crown Prince trying to do
"Yes, only with such a two-pronged approach can our 'Fangjiantianxia' be successful from the beginning." Shangguan Wan'er said proudly.
How could such a childish thing disturb His Majesty and the Queen? He was not afraid of being reprimanded by His Majesty and the Queen
Just when Shangguan Yi and Guan Wan'er were arguing, both the two of them, as well as the emperor and queen in the palace, had forgotten one fact: that is, in the East Palace today, whether it is the crown prince, Taifu, Taishi, or Taibao, They are still the prince's young master, young master, and young protector, but now they are all vacant.
