Chapter 518: The Right to Speak Four
Zhao Ji was a little confused, "Why is he a scholar who has no official status?" β
"Because the owner of "Wenqu Xing" is Zhao Xiaoyi, who is clothed in Kaifeng," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "Yijie cloth, how can you drive officials?" β
There is no need for officials, of course, it is to facilitate the manipulation of Wu Haogu! If the editors of "Wenqu Xing" are all heroes who are famous outside the Donghua Gate, who will manage the financial affairs of Wu Haogu, a businessman? When the time comes, won't the "Wenqu Xing" that Wu Haogu worked so hard to build become someone else's mouthpiece?
Moreover, with the use of officials, the magazine "Wenqu Xing" will become a lifeless yamen, with officials with mixed qualifications at the top and officials with mixed life below, how can they be the mouthpiece of capitalism?
However, this reason is inconvenient to say to Zhao Ji, so I used "Kaifeng cloth clothes Zhao Xiaoyi" as an excuse.
"Moreover," Wu Haogu said again, "Zhao Xiaoyi's purpose in opening the magazine "Wenqu Xing" is to compete with the civil officials for a clear discussion, how can he hand over "Wenqu Xing" to the civil officials again? β
"Wenqu Xing" is used to compete with the new party and the old party for the right to speak!
The right to speak in the Song Dynasty was not a small power, because the political disputes in the Song Dynasty basically did not use swords, and they all bombarded people with their mouths.
Wu Haogu is a military attachΓ©, and he needs a military attache status to facilitate his wealth, so it is impossible to fight with the civil officials for a clear stream of things - he is not a clear stream at all!
In this case, Wu Haogu can only start from scratch and use the public opinion of the people to fight against Qingliu Wuyi.
And if public opinion wants to fight against the clear stream of officialdom, of course, it must have a protective umbrella that can resist the pressure of the government. Wu Haogu himself is not good, he really dares to use Qingliu's right to speak, and sooner or later he will go to Haizhou to eat old rice. But Zhao Xiaoyi is not afraid!
When he talked nonsense, it was Zhao Xiaoyi who opened the cloth, but whoever wants to seize and arrest people is Zhao Ji, the official of the Great Song Dynasty!
"Good!" Zhao Ji was finally completely blinded by the villain Wu Haogu, and he couldn't think of any other way to drive Empress Meng out justifiably and let his dear sister-in-law, Empress Liu, be the queen mother.
"That's what Da Lang said!" Zhao Ji laughed, "I didn't take the "Wenqu Xing" magazine of the Republic Bank in vain, and the land of the Tongwen Pavilion was priced at 900,000 yuan, and I gave you 100,000 yuan cheaper, which is Zhao Xiaoyi's money to buy "Wenqu Xing". β
Of course, the commercial value of "Wenqu Xing" magazine is more than 100,000 yuan, but once the magazine completes its transformation into a "news and political commentary" magazine, its commercial value will plummet due to political risks. So even if Zhao Ji doesn't pay a penny, Wu Haogu will post the money himself, and he must give "Wenqu Xing" to Zhao Xiaoyi.
"As for how to operate "Wenqu Xing" after it is returned to Zhao Xiaoyi," Zhao Ji said, "Dalang, you set a policy, and hand it over when I go to inspect Qionglin Palace in two or three days." β
"Obey."
Zhao Ji said again: "Da Lang, Cai Jing proposes to let you serve as the director of Jiehe City for a long time, are you willing?" β
"I can't ask for it." Wu Haogu has known about this for a long time - Cai Jing, a loyal minister, seems to still want to form a loyal party with his family!
Zhao Ji said again: "If you want to do it, from next year, the Jiehe City Bo Division will pay 100,000 yuan to the imperial court every year." β
"No problem." Wu Haogu replied.
"Okay, Da Lang is really a financial saint!" Zhao Ji smiled, "Then I will let Zhongshu prepare a move tomorrow, and let you have the right to send a move to raise the Jie He City Bo Division...... It's time for your martial officer to be promoted, give you a deputy envoy of the guest province. β
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Haogu hurriedly bowed and thanked him.
Although the deputy envoy of the guest province that Zhao Ji gave him was also a military attache rank from the seventh rank, it was much larger than the previous deputy envoy of Dongshang Gate. The previous deputy envoy of Dongshang Gate was the 33rd rank official among the 52 martial rank officials, and the deputy envoy of the guest province was the 28th rank official, which was equivalent to transferring 5 officials to Wu Haogu at one time.
Considering Wu Haogu's current age, being able to become a military attache at this level is actually a rocket-like promotion speed.
β¦β¦
"The deputy envoy of the guest province, with imperial equipment, has the right to send to lift the city of Jiehe...... Hehe, what a young man! β
In the mansion of Zhao Tingzhi in the imperial history, Zhao Tingzhi, the old man of Li Qingzhao, was about one of the first courtiers to learn that Wu Haogu was going to be promoted again.
And this inside news was brought by his son Zhao Mingcheng - after Wu Haogu left Yanfu Palace, he immediately went to convene several main persons in charge of the "Wenqu Xing" magazine, informed him of the news that the magazine would be sold to Zhao Xiaoyi, and also said that he was about to be promoted.
"Father," Zhao Mingcheng said again, "Wu Dalang also said that the magazine "Wenqu Xing" will be sold to Zhao Xiaoyi, and will no longer hire editors and editors with official status in the future. β
This regulation has no impact on Zhao Mingcheng and Hou Zhongliang at the moment, because neither of them has official status.
"Zhao Xiaoyi? That's ......," Zhao Tingzhi's brows furrowed.
"It's an official!" Zhao Mingcheng replied.
Zhao Tingzhi's brows furrowed, he didn't pay much attention to the magazine "Wenqu Xing" - "Wenqu Xing" was based on the imperial examination at the beginning, and it can even be said to be a magazine for undergraduate tutoring.
Until a few months ago, when his son Zhao Mingcheng and Hou Zhongliang, a nerd from the old party, began to hold a forum on "Wenqu Xing" to discuss the military system of the government and put forward the criteria for testing the authenticity in practice, Zhao Tingzhi did not pay much attention to it.
Because he also didn't believe that Wu Haogu dared to use one of his own magazines that sold money to attack the new policy of the New Party - this was a major policy of the imperial court, whether it was right or wrong, it was not something that Wu Haogu and his officials could discuss.
But what Wu Haogu can't say, Kaifeng Buyi Zhao Xiaoyi can say!
"What does he want to do?" Zhao Tingzhi's brows were already twisted.
"Who? Is it official? Zhao Mingcheng asked.
Zhao Tingzhi asked Wu Haogu, but when he heard his son say this, he looked at his son and asked, "Do you know the thoughts of the official family?" β
Zhao Mingcheng replied: "I know some." β
Zhao Tingzhi immediately asked: "Then let's talk about it." β
"The official family wants to abolish the queen!"
"What's the hell?" Zhao Tingzhi glared at the beads in his eyes, "The official family is going to abolish the queen and queen?" β
"It's not Queen Wang, it's Queen Meng."
"Empress Meng?" Zhao Tingzhi blinked his old eyes, "Empress Yuanyou? Where did she provoke the official family? β
Although Zhao Tingzhi doesn't like Queen Meng, who is pro-old party, he has never moved the mind of abolishing her again - Queen Meng is the empress of the first emperor, just eat a meal in the palace, and it doesn't make much difference whether she is wasted or not.
"It seems that the official family dreamed of the first emperor......"
"Dreaming of the First Emperor?" Zhao Tingzhi was confused, what is the reason for this?
Zhao Tingzhi thought for a while, "Defu, where did you hear the news that this is going to be abolished?" β
"It's the words of the official family." Zhao Mingcheng said, "The official family said that he dreamed that the first emperor blamed him for welcoming back Empress Meng and treating Empress Liu badly. β
Zhao Mingcheng is also one of Zhao Ji's henchmen, so he also heard Zhao Ji talk about his dream.
"How can there be such a dream?" Zhao Tingzhi shook his head, "Then this Empress Meng is too unlucky...... By the way, does your daughter-in-law know about this? β
"I shouldn't know," Zhao Mingcheng wasn't sure, "my son didn't tell her." β
"Then don't say it!" Zhao Tingzhi instructed, "Don't say anything to anyone...... I'm afraid this matter will cause another court dispute. β
Zhao Tingzhi thought for a moment, "By the way, in the past two days, has anyone in the Guozi Prison been talking about Lu Benzhi's case and the fire in the military camp in the north of the state?" β
Zhao Mingcheng is a student of Guozi, and he just used his spare time to write a few articles on "Wenqu Xing", and hung up the name of the chief writer.
And there is a reason why Zhao Tingzhi asked about the discussion in the Guozi Prison, because in this era, there are no newspapers, no Internet, and public opinion almost does not exist - even if it exists, no one cares about it - what exists is only the Qingliu Matter Discussion, and the most unscrupulous in the Qingliu Matter Discussion is, of course, the so-called "Unofficial Imperial History Terrace" and "Bitter Hair Tuo" Guozi Prison Students, Tai Students and Martial Arts Students.
These "three students" get together on weekdays, in addition to talking about articles and poems, they are also discussing current political news and the general trend of the world.
The just-happened arson case in the northern camp of the state and the incident in which Lu Benzhi's father was killed and cried out for injustice were naturally the focus of discussion among the three students.
"There are some." Zhao Mingcheng frowned and said, "The scholars of Kaifeng Mansion all say that Lu Benzhi is a filial son and has been wronged, and there must be a shady curtain on the fire in the military camp in the north of the state. β
Zhao Tingzhi asked: "Did they say who is behind the scenes?" β
"It's all said that it's Wu Haogu," Zhao Mingcheng frowned, "Daddy, do you think that fire was set by Wu Haogu?" β
Zhao Tingzhi just smiled, "Apart from him, who else can do such a thing?" β
The appearance of public opinion unfavorable to Wu Haogu in the "three studies" is not just the result of the scholars' brains, but is deliberately guided by the new party.
The current Guozijian Siye Liu Kui is Lu Jiawen's son-in-law and Lu Benzhi's brother-in-law!
β¦β¦
When Liu Kui, the secretary of the Guozijian returned to the house, the first thing he did was, of course, to visit Lu Jia, who was recuperating from his illness.
The disaster of imprisonment and the pain of losing a child made Lu Jiawen seem to be ten years old all of a sudden, and his body, which was still tough, collapsed by half. My heart hurts all the time, and I feel dizzy, and I hallucinate from time to time, and I talk nonsense......
"My son died so miserably, surnamed Zhao, you are too ruthless......"
When Liu Kui walked outside the house where Lu Jiawen was recuperating in the backyard, Lu Jiawen began to talk nonsense again - Lu Benzhi was obviously killed by the villain Wu Haogu, why did his father-in-law keep scolding "surnamed Zhao"?
Who is the surname Zhao? Wu Haogu seems to have a Zhao Zhongge surnamed Zhao by his side, but that reckless man is still training in Cangzhou.
Shaking his head, Liu Kui still pushed the door and walked into the hall where Lu Jiawen was sick, and saw his wife Lu Shi sitting next to Lu Jiawen's sickbed wiping her tears. Lu Jiawen was lying on the couch with a withered face, staring at the ceiling with a dull gaze, and talking nonsense in his mouth......
"My son, you died unjustly, there is no way for your father to avenge you, and my father's heart is so bitter!"
"Son, it's all for your father who harmed you, if your father didn't enter Beijing, you wouldn't have died......"
