The wind in the capital was conveyed through Pravda and the private letters written by the nobles of Beijing to other places.

Since the birth of newspapers, many related industries have been born: newspaper companies, editors, memorists, printing officials, newspaper boys, newspaper readers, sales agents, etc.

For example, big newspapers such as Pravda and Jinling Briefing want to market the world and Jiangnan, relying on a layer by layer dealer agent sales system.

Although newspapers are time-sensitive, there was a time lag before the invention of the telegraph and the spread of regional newspapers to other places. Of course, the pace of life in ancient times was not fast. is within an acceptable range.

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is nearly 2,000 kilometers long. According to the records of the "Zhonghua General Chronicle", it takes 17 days to take the waterway, at a normal speed. Pravda is sold in Beijing every morning, and it takes 15 days to reach Wuchang, the provincial capital of Huguang.

In early April, it was already late spring and early summer inside and outside Wuchang City. As the so-called, Qingchuan calendar Hanyang tree, grass and parrot island.

In front of the Yellow Crane Tower, the river is surging eastward. Sunny. In the building, the scribes of Wuchang Mansion were gathering in Ya.

Seven or eight scribes were in the corridor of the building, surrounded by a fat middle-aged man, facing the Yangtze River, talking loudly. In the building behind him, there is a singing and dancing banquet, and a beautiful pipa.

This year is not only the year of the Spring Competition, but also the year of the children's examination. The Wuchang Provincial Examination will be held in a few days. In the midst of the city, the scribes gathered. It's not just children, but also talents, and people. This is a major event in Shilin.

A gentleman in Tsing Yi patted the railing and chanted: "The great river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the eternal romantic characters are eternal." This word is majestic, and it is really a swan song for the ages. The same is true of the political disputes between the bosses of the DPRK and China! ”

On March 21, Hua Mo instructed Zhou Shenxing to build momentum in Pravda and lead the case of Yuguanyin to Ji Xingsheng's friend, Wang Lan, a scholar at the Hanlin Academy. The news has been transmitted to Wuchang Mansion through Pravda.

Think about it, the people on the street like to talk about politics, let alone the scholars? At this moment, the topic is all about the political struggle between the foreman of the Minister of Military Aircraft, the scholar Huamo of Wenhuadian University, and Ji Xingsheng, the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry.

"What do you think of Senior Xiao?"

The scholars quickly stopped arguing and looked at the gray-robed man in the center: the former editor-in-chief of Pravda, the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy, Xiao Mengzhen. At the age of 32, he abandoned his official position and stayed at home. Good at reading, good at poetry. Naihu Guang Mingshi.

Xiao Mengzhen was a little fatter than when Jia Huan and others saw him off in the winter of the fifteenth year of Yongzhi, wearing a loose Taoist robe, with a high morale, his expression was slightly dignified, and he sighed: "All beings, the fierce competition is not the blessing of the country. Since the beginning of the fourteenth year of this dynasty, the Son of Heaven has neglected his government, and the court dispute has not stopped. ”

Hanlin is the elite of the elite readers, killing all the academic positions in seconds.

The scholars pondered slightly. Someone said: "Senior Xiao, even if this is the case, it is best to settle down quickly." Who do you think will win this court battle? ”

Xiao Mengzhen shook his head, looked at the mighty Yangtze River, and said with emotion: "I don't know who wins." But, I know, Han Xiu is coming to an end. ”

He didn't have much contact with Hua Mo and Ji Xingsheng. How to make a judgment when thousands of miles apart? Recently, however, there has been a recital in Pravda to impeach Han Jin. The imperial history is the Jiangxi Provincial Imperial History Zhu Hongfei. He is Jia Huan's best friend.

In other words, Jia Huan wants to "kill" Han Xiucai.

He still knows Jia Huan's style very well. It must be public opinion. Pravda only arrived in Wuchang at the end of March. The follow-up news of the capital is coming, but he believes that Jia Huan's ability.

"Ahh Who is Han so-jae? In early March, when Pravda published an article by Hei Han Xiucai, it was clear: life, people, deeds. Author's signature: Jia Huan.

As the saying goes, the ungrateful Han Xiucai, the black-hearted and treacherous third!

While discussing, Xiao Mengzhen told the juniors of the branch field about the grievances in the capital back then, at this time, there was a commotion downstairs, and after a while, I saw an official come in with his entourage, greet the scholars on the third floor, and then sit on the main seat.

The person who came was Peng Shijun, who participated in politics (from Sanpin) in Huguangzuo, who was 42 years old at the time, and his name was Zhangmin. The host of this literary gathering.

Xiao Mengzhen and a few people came in from the corridor. Greet each other politely. After three rounds of drinking, a scholar told Peng Shijun about Xiao Mengzhen's judgment just now. Peng Shijun smiled and said to Xiao Mengzhen, who was the first on the left: "Kaizhi, I don't think it maybe, right?" ”

With Xiao Mengzhen's current reputation in Huguang, he has a seat even in front of the political envoy.

Xiao Fatzi's reputation and talent, Peng Shijun knows it and is often close to him. Both were from Hanlin. However, in this matter, he didn't think that Han Xiu would have an accident. The king of Chu is powerful, which is the basic political pattern. What can Jia Huan do?

Xiao Mengzhen smiled, drank wine, and said, "Brother Zhang Min, you and I don't have a war of words, let's wait for the result." ”

Peng Shijun's mentor, the great Confucian Fu Bolong, was the teacher of the former prince, and in the thirteenth year of Yongzhi, the former prince rebelled and failed. Fu Bolong was killed by Jia Huan's tutor Fang Wang, pretending to be public and private. Grandmaster Fang and Fu Daru are rivals in the literary world. Peng participated in politics and hated Jia Huan, and the master and apprentice gritted their teeth with hatred.

Peng Shijun nodded slightly, his eyes gloomy. He hoped that the complicated political situation in Beijing would strangle Jia Huan.

…

…

At the end of March, since the outbreak of the Yuguanyin case, public opinion in Beijing has been attacking Wang Lan, a scholar at the Hanlin Academy. And there is a momentum to involve Ji Xingsheng.

However, in the midst of such a big wave, there is still a voice of public opinion that is not weak. Jia Huan's faction is competing with the Chu Wang faction and the Donglin Party.

Zhu Hongfei, the head of Jiangxi Province, played the imperial history: Han Jin made a big mistake in the past and violated the law of the country, and the Son of Heaven was gracious and allowed him to write a letter of repentance, and he was not allowed to take the imperial examination. However, Han Jin did not think about it in his hometown, but returned to the capital, served as a staff member of the king of Chu, and instigated the family affection between the Son of Heaven and the princes, which deserved death. Please ask Your Majesty to first judge Han Jin's mistakes and then expel him from the capital.

This letter was published in Pravda in a grand manner, causing great repercussions. You must know that Zhu Dayushi, in Kedao, was originally a celebrity. He played the chapter, and a group of sub-science Taoist officials followed.

In addition, several newspapers, including the Beijing Daily, controlled by Jiafu, reported on the incident one after another, calling for severe punishment of Han Xiucai. In Huamo, when Ji Xingsheng was fighting, he occupied a lot of pages and attracted the attention of a group of people.

In the big Sunday newspaper of the Chu Dynasty, the "horse boys" in the court waved their flags and shouted. For example: Shanxi Dao Dao Yu Shi Dai Cong. There was a war of words between the two sides.

But...

On April 12, at the beginning of summer, the weather gradually became hotter. Such as mung beans, honeysuckle, bamboo leaves, chrysanthemums, large leaves and other things that relieve the heat, sold out of stock at Tongzhou Wharf.

In the afternoon, Jing Garden. The cicadas chirp quieter.

Han Jin was playing chess alone in the small hall. A cup of tea is fragrant. It seems to be very laid-back and calm.

Hum Ha two generals Luo and Tong Liangxiu came in from outside to inquire about the news, and when they saw Han Jin's appearance, Luo Ziche stomped his feet and said, "Brother Han, when is it, are you still playing chess?" ”

In terms of shamelessness, he doesn't accept anyone, so he obeys Zhou Shenxing!

Ten days ago, at the height of the public opinion battle between the Chu Wang family and Jia Huan and his gang, Zhou Shenxing happened to be ill. However, the situation of the public opinion war is a decline for the Chu royal family.

This is different from the matter of their black Jia Huan and his cousin at the end of the year and early spring, that is called the evidence is conclusive, Jia Huan is on the defensive, if it were not for Ji Xingsheng, who has a close relationship with Lin Ruhai and has a lot of weight in the court, Jia Huan would be more passive.

However, now feng shui takes turns. The recital of the imperial history and the attack on Han Jin by the Beijing Daily are also conclusive evidence.

And Jia Huan's polemic techniques in the newspapers are even more superb. From time to time, make an editorial, and then interview the old people back then. He also sent people to preach in the vernacular in the market, and sang all the plays in the garden. Where did they get Jia Huan with these methods?

First, Jiafu is a century-old clan in Beijing, and the relationship is intertwined, with a population of more than 1,000 people, plus the clansmen of the Jia family, and the clansmen of the four major families. These human resources have been mobilized to spread rumors and rumors. It's scary.

The strength of the Chu royal family is simply incomparable.

Second, the leader of the drama industry in Beijing, Man Tingfang, is the industry of Jiafu. It's a response.

Han Jin smiled, "What when?" Jia Huan found someone to scold me in the newspaper a few words, and he could scold me back to Suzhou? I'm not that vulnerable. He is known as Jia Mian, I can learn to become Han Mian! ”

"No," Luo Ziche sighed.

The king of Chu went to send someone to see Zhou Shenxing. The grandson was indeed sick. The doctor's diagnosis of the pulse is the truth. I don't know what method he used. He also said to the envoy of the king of Chu: "Please reply to Your Highness, Master Jia, the general political envoy, scold me twice a day in front of me, and scold me to the face." Almost a laughing stock, what can I do? In the final analysis, Pravda is still under the jurisdiction of the General Administration. Can I seize the newspapers in Jap? Please forgive Your Highness the difficulties of our subordinates. ”

Editor-in-chief of Pravda, censors the world's newspapers. But the editor-in-chief of Pravda is also in charge: the political envoy.

Zhou Shenxing could indeed help the King of Chu seize the Beijing Daily and other newspapers that scolded the war. However, the officials and calligraphers who are called are all in the General Political Department, and these people listen to the political envoys, or do they listen to the right of the General Political Secretary to participate in politics?

Of course, Zhou Shenxing can also go to the Beijing Daily newspaper office in person and seize it. However, his character, is he willing to sell his strength for the king of Chu like this? His benefactor Huaxiang's idea was: Regardless of Jia Huan, he and the Donglin Party should fight.

So, get sick. The silver taels that Jia Huan secretly gave were naturally laughed at.

Han Jin waved his hand, "It's okay!" Changing the subject, "What news did you get from?" ”

Luo Ziche took a look at his friends. The big-headed Xiucai Tong Zhengyan said: "Ziheng, Hua Xiang will play a chapter to the Son of Heaven, and close the case of Jade Guanyin." It was said that Bachelor Wang was in the forbidden period and inquired about the physical condition of the Son of Heaven. to steal the jade Guanyin and blackmail Princess Yongchang.

Therefore, he requested that the imprisoned Wang Bachelor be executed. Bachelor Wang's two sons were kneeling and kowtowing in front of Huaxiang's Mansion at the moment. Please raise your noble hand and forgive Master Wang. The newspapers and the people in Beijing were watching. ”

Han Jin was slightly stunned, and then sighed softly, "Pitiful, lamentable." It's useless. "What's the use of begging for mercy if you're engaged in politics?

Tong Zhengyan smiled and said, "Ziheng, does Hua Yongxin really dare to be like Yan Song?" ”

Yan Song wanted to kill Wang Shizhen's father, Wang Chen. Wang Shizhen took his brother to kowtow and begged for it. Yan Song helped Wang Shizhen up, promised not to kill, and turned around and urged to kill Wang Chen quickly. Therefore, Wang Shizhen scolded Yan Song all his life.

It is reported that the book "Golden Vase Plum" may have been written by Wang Shizhen. Yan Song's son, Yan Shifan, is in the East Building. The protagonist of the Golden Vase Plum, Simon.

Han Jin didn't answer, and said, "I'll be quiet alone." Go ahead. ”

Waiting for the party members to leave, Han Jin got up and looked at the North Lake at the window. He was thinking about him. Xiao Mengzhen could see Jia Huan's routine. Of course, Han Xiucai can also see it. Jia Huan is here, see you in the dagger!

If he is defeated, will he also be a death? It's useless to kneel and beg for mercy like this? He knew: Jia Huan's hand was very dark.

In fact, he can feel the unfavorable situation! He just showed composure in front of Luo and Tong. Soothe. But what can he do now?

A strategy, a strategy, does not arise in a vacuum, it requires brainpower, manpower, and time to arrange. His cards were played, and the king of Chu failed to ascend to the throne of the crown prince. And now, Jia Huan is in a hurry, and he doesn't have enough time to plan.

Countermeasures, first, stabilize. Jia Huan scolded him, but he would never leave the side of the King of Chu and leave the capital. Wait for Jia Huan's strength to run out.

Second, observe carefully and wait patiently. Jia Huan is also a human being, and he will make mistakes as well. He might be able to find a chance to fight back.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Suddenly it was overcast. Lightning. A summer rainstorm came suddenly!
