Chapter 218: Let's gossip

Views:

Zhao Yunchu leaned aside and read the news published in the newspaper Yunyan returned to his hand, and almost vomited blood, "What are these!"

It's okay to say he and the third brother, but his eldest brother and second brother are very normal, and the target is also completely wrong, only one of the forbidden army... Probably because the incident was quite big at the beginning, but it was not good to spread it out. strangeness.

What kind of cook, monk, I don't know how to speculate.

Yun Yanhui looked around in the crowd, and said angrily, "No, go and find the newspaper seller."

They searched the street for a long time, but because there were too many people today, they couldn't find the newspaper seller anymore, but they found that many people still had the newspaper in their hands.

Everyone knows that it is illegal to print newspapers privately, so they keep a low profile when discussing with each other. Yun Yanhui also had a newspaper in his hand, so he pretended to be a fellow person, and it was not against harmony to talk to these people.

"I don't know who runs this newspaper, it's really interesting to write." Yun Yanhui boasted against his will.

Someone said, "Yes, this editor-in-chief used a pseudonym. Lay Jin Feng and several editors also used pseudonyms. After all, this stuff is forbidden by the government."

"However, I've been watching this tabloid from the first issue, and now it's only published four or five issues, it's still irregular, but it's spreading more and more widely. It can be seen that everyone still prefers to watch interesting stories like this. ."

"Don't you think it's a bit strange?" Yun Yanhui raised a doubt, "The stories here are written in such a way that the author is as vivid as if he were at the scene. That's all, even the secret words in the boudoir are written down in detail. , is the author lying under someone else's bed?"

His words made several gossip friends laugh, "It's not good to hide under the bed, but it should be true that after researching the evidence, he played a little more to make the whole report more full."

Can this be called reporting? Come on, you can write a novel.

The essence of this gossip tabloid is to expand the gossip heard in the streets and the three aunts and six grandmothers, and even make up, and claim to be textual research, so as to make up a story that seems to be true.

The gossip news about Zhao Yunchu's family is just one of the many gossips, and the length is not very long. The headline of this issue is about Pang Taishi and the concubines who have written 3,000 words.

In fact, you can tell by listening to these people chatting. They also know that the content of the tabloid is a bit wrong. However, they still pay more attention to the pleasure of reading. Whether it is true or not, it will be more interesting if the truth is written as it is written. what.

Yun Yan asked them to borrow the previous issues of the newspaper, but none of them brought them with them. You gave Yun Yan a brief overview of the content of the previous issues.

"There are not many prints. The previous issues should not be sold now, but the content is spread by word of mouth."

"If Xiongtai wants to buy it in the future, you can come to this street more. They all sell it on the street."

Yun Yan thanked her back, and walked back to Zhao Yunchu with a sullen face.

This gossip tabloid without a name does not have as strong a sales channel as the Tokyo Daily News, but it still has a little influence among the people thanks to its gossip and gossip characteristics. But over time, it is very likely that the influence will soar.

I don't know which talent is, but when the newspaper industry has just started, he has penetrated the market and created such a gossip tabloid.

"Brother Yan, what are you going to do now?" Zhao Yunchu asked, "This person is too hateful. He made up a bunch of things. He even said that our brothers have broken their sleeves. It's not allowed at all. Even the cook and monk came out..."

"If it's a big New Year's Eve, there's no need to find it out today. Let's let everyone live in peace for a new year." Yun Yanhui folded the newspaper and put it in his arms, "As for the report written by Hu, it is estimated that it is based on 'textual research'. , I imagined it, and I didn't even figure out the relationship between the characters."

Zhao Yunchu's eldest brother is relatively low-key, while the second and third brothers are rather absurd, and there are often gossip rumors. Zhao Yunchu often went to temples, and now he goes to Kaifeng Mansion to eat at noon during working hours, which is probably the source of gossip...

After this incident, Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu's mood was inevitably affected a lot, and they did not continue shopping.

Zhao Yunchu sent Yunyan back home, said goodbye at the door, and made an appointment to burn incense at Daxiangguo Temple tomorrow before leaving.

The next day, Yunyan got back to clean up, and the whole family went to Daxiangguo Temple together. During Chinese New Year, the "civil servants" all have seven days off, and even the Kaifeng government will implement a rotating duty system. Yun Yanhui only needs to be on duty on the last day.

When he arrived at Daxiangguo Temple, he went to pay New Year's greetings to Liaoran. Although there was no appointment, Zhao Yunchu was also here at this time, and he came a moment early.

Yun Yanhui said hello to the master and the brothers, and she heard clearly and said, "I will come back when a foreign envoy will come to burn incense."

"Let's accompany Master, too." Yun Yan stood up and stood beside Zhao Yunchu, and supported Clearly, "It's a big New Year, Master is still working so hard."

Said to be foreign envoys, in fact, they were mainly envoys from the Liao Kingdom. After all, they advocated Buddhism all over the country. Even in the Song Dynasty, they always came to the royal temple to burn incense.

This year's envoy Yun Yanhui didn't know him, but the other party had heard about Yun Yanhui several times, all thanks to the deeds of Yun Yanhui's previous receptions.

However, the focus of the envoy was not on Yun Yanhui. After he heard that the other person beside him was Zhao Yunchu, he took out a piece of paper from his arms very excitedly, "Yesterday, our embassy bought a piece of paper on the street. At this point, may I ask, is what I said above true?"

He had a look on his face, "You Song people really know how to play", and what he was holding was naturally the gossip tabloid that Yun Yanhui and they also bought.

This is embarrassing. On the one hand, this thing is written very untrue, on the other hand, it is illegal.

Zhao Yunchu was keenly aware that he had to be careful in answering this question, and he said vaguely: "Are you saying that all the scenes depicted in the Book of Songs are real? It's just a way of expression."

The envoy Liao said with great interest: "However, this is not the same as the Book of Songs..."

"Hehe, you are also a high-ranking official in the Liao Kingdom, why do you still buy pirated copies?" Yun Yan glanced back and said disdainfully, "This thing is not officially recognized by us at all, it plagiarized the "Tokyo Daily"... oh, by the way , your "Shangjing Weekly" also plagiarized "Tokyo Daily", so you probably don't care."

Liao Envoy was so angry that he almost fell down.

Yun Yanhui blocked his words in advance, bypassing Tokyo's lax management, and an illegal tabloid appeared, directly attacking the Liao people for viewing pirated copies and doing pirated copies.

"That's just an act of reference! We admit that the Song people are very good at this, so we will use it for reference. There is no need to be so tit for tat, right?" justify their behavior.

"I mean, you are too careless. We published a manga adaptation in the Tokyo Daily, and we even found a few original authors and paid a fee. Why didn't you see that you bought the copyright from us?" Yun Yan replied. said.

Liao Shi was speechless. At this time, there was no copyright or copyright, but because the "Tokyo Daily" did this, and it was very impressive, he did not shamelessly say: We just don't need to give money.

"Amitabha," Clearly proclaimed the Buddha's name and came out to smooth the field, "There is a guest from afar, the wild goose returns, take a step back and open the sky."

Yunyan closed it when she saw it, thinking that the envoy of Liao had no time to care about the gossip and tabloids, and immediately changed her face: "I am ashamed and ashamed, I am rude. All the envoys, to apologize, I invite you to visit the Puguanze Garden. Right." Then he boasted about Pu Guanze vividly.

At that time, these people will not care about the gossip of other countries.

The envoy of the Liao State was extremely depressed. He didn't expect Yun Yanhui to change his face so quickly and so naturally. He couldn't let it out in one breath. He thought that the Song people were really cunning, and said in a stern voice: "I have heard the name of Pu Guanze for a long time. The lyrics of the play have all spread to our country, and they are praised from all over the world, but it is a pity that we can't see the real performance."

The envoys of several other countries also said that the culture of the Song Dynasty radiated to the surrounding area, so they were very willing to go to Puguanze to see the most popular entertainment in Bianjing at this time.

The ambassadors in charge of the reception were also relieved. They were all surprised when they saw Yun Yanhui quarreling with others for no reason. They were all old acquaintances. Yun Yan was very smooth before, and everyone was satisfied when chatting. That kind of thing, why did you suddenly say that you are not happy.

Fortunately, Yun Yan came back quickly and brought these people to play, which made them a lot easier.

Yun Yanhui did not take them with him personally, but asked Zhao Yunchu to accompany him, and he went to find Hu Hanlin.

The old man was still at home on vacation, playing with his grandchildren. When he saw Yunyan coming back, he thought he was here for New Year's greetings, and he smiled and wanted to introduce his family to him.

Yun Yan smiled back and greeted the children, then pulled Hu Hanlin aside to show him the gossip tabloid.

When Hu Hanlin saw it, he was immediately displeased, "The Kaifeng Mansion didn't notice it at all?!"

Yun Yan was ashamed, not many of the yamen below were literate, and he didn't expect any tabloids, and this newspaper had not yet become a big news.

Kaifeng Mansion is really unlucky, they have to manage everything.

Hu Hanlin frowned, "Kaifeng House must start searching the whole city as soon as possible to find out who printed the newspapers privately, immediately seal it up, and confiscate all the newspapers that have been sold."

Besides Yun Yanhui, Hu Hanlin knows the news industry the most. He has studied it for a long time, and even this news mouthpiece must not be in the hands of civil forces, otherwise it will be bad for people with intentions to use it.

"Sir, what I'm worried about is that even if we seize this tabloid, there will already be some people who know the taste and taste, and there will be more tabloids." Yun Yan whispered back, "While we are strictly controlling, we should Build your own strength."

Hu Hanlin raised his eyebrows, "You mean?"

Yunyan nodded back, "Increase the layout!"

Hu Hanlin was very disgusted, "It's ridiculous, how can such content be published in the Tokyo Daily? It's really insulting!"

What Yun Yanhui means is that instead of being banned repeatedly, it is better for us to gossip on our own. But this is a bit difficult for Hu Hanlin to accept.

"We can... be gentle," Yun Yan threw the newspaper back, "If we publish it, it's not called gossip, it's called a commentary on current affairs, and we report and analyze a certain matter that many people are concerned about."

Hu Hanlin: "..."

Formally a little more serious, but serious gossip is still gossip.

However, what Yunyan said back is indeed a problem. The power of running a newspaper cannot be opened up, but it is better to block it, so they can only strengthen themselves while strictly prohibiting, so that citizens will not want to see anything. The tabloids are out, and when they attack, they are more confident and not afraid of the voices of the people.

After hesitating for a long time, Hu Hanlin agreed to increase the entertainment of Tokyo Daily and open a new section. He was still heartbroken that Tokyo Daily was about to be downgraded.

The two wrote the articles of association in detail. Hu Hanlin went to report to Renzong, and Yun Yan hurried to Kaifeng Mansion. The notice immediately started the investigation, and many officials were called back to the mansion to work overtime.

Therefore, Yun Yanhui naturally wanted to take out the gossip tabloid and show everyone what he was looking for.

When the people in Kaifeng House saw what was published in the newspaper, they all laughed. They may not be very clear about some news, but the one saying that the sons of the Eight Princes Mansion are all broken sleeves must be false.

"Haha, Brother Yan, it's all because you two are so close, so it's all misunderstood."

"Just why do you think you're a cook? That's outrageous."

"I laughed so hard, you actually said that Zhao Si has the habit of breaking his sleeves?"

Yunyan replied: "..."

Yun Yan rolled her eyes, "You guys are all happy working overtime? By the way, I gave this investigation a code name, it's called 'Cleaning the Internet'..."

Everyone was inexplicable, "Net? What net?"

Yun Yan replied seriously: "The streets and alleys of Bianjing are shaped like spider webs, and the tabloids are scattered among them. It is precisely to remove them."

When everyone heard it, they all felt reasonable, "This name is a good name, and it has a good image."

Even they don't know why they have a code name...

A little later, Zhao Yunchu also ended his tour of Puguanze with a team, and came to Kaifeng to look for Yunyan to return, "Those envoys watched the two-fold "Wang Qingyu" and almost didn't want to leave. The Liao envoy kept saying that he wanted to I asked the official family to let Kong Jiaban go to Liao to perform. When I said that Kong Jiaban was funded by you, he was always annoyed, saying that he should not have a conflict with you. I want to ask for your forgiveness. I hope you can help him. , let the Confucius class to perform."

Zhao Yunchu looked smug, as if the envoy Liao was begging him, and was very proud of Yun Yanhui.

He was very happy when he thought of the appearance of those envoys who refused to leave the stage, and when he was watching the play, he was stunned and fascinated by the stage effect.

Yun Yanhui also smiled, "How beautiful is he, we haven't even seen enough of the Song Dynasty people, so why don't we give him a performance?" No one would agree that Kong Jiaban had left Puguanze for so long.

At this time, someone came over and joked: "Zhao Sizheng, I heard that you have that kind of relationship with Yan Ge'er?"

Zhao Yunchu's eyes widened, his whole body froze for a moment, and he said in astonishment, "You, you..."

"How did you know?" Yun Yan took over the conversation and put her arms on Zhao Yunchu's shoulder.

Zhao Yunchu looked at Yun Yanhui with a bewildered expression, not knowing what happened.

The man laughed out loud, "Seeing that Brother Yan is helpless, I said, I didn't say that he must be playing with you and breaking his sleeves."

Someone else laughed and said, "Who else could it be if it wasn't with Brother Yan? Just the two of them stay together every day... Alas, this tabloid is really laughable, if Brother Yan and the others are broken sleeves, then we Kaifeng Mansion I don’t know how many have broken sleeves, and the brothers in the classroom still eat and sleep together every day.”

Zhao Yunchu breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this time they were laughing at the "unreliable" gossip tabloid. But even so, Brother Yan is too bold... Zhao Yunchu secretly glanced at Yun Yanhui, who was holding his hand.

Yun Yan blinked back at him and snickered secretly.

Sometimes, the more obvious the truth is, the more people don't believe it.
