A hot pot meal is a feast for both the guest and the host.
The smile on Ying Zheng's face never disappeared until he left.
Seeing Ying Zheng's face glowing red, Wei Liang felt relieved standing behind him. When he came, he was worried that Ran Fang would make His Majesty angry.
Now it seems that I have thought too much.
Heng Gaozhuo, who had been standing behind him, felt relieved after confirming that Ran Fang had no objection to the newspaper affairs.
But his hanging heart didn't let go until Ying Zheng left.
Presumably, they will all be able to have a good dream this night.
But for some people with evil intentions, they may not be able to sleep tonight.
Especially those people and forces who are concerned about the news of the newspaper are thinking about how to place their own people in the newspaper, so that the initiative of the newspaper can be in their own hands.
From the moment they heard about the newspaper, they carefully inquired about what the newspaper did. When they learned that the newspaper published news about Da Qin and could influence the people's judgment, they all had ideas.
After all, this kind of opportunity doesn't come around all the time.
Even Li Si, as the prime minister, had already broken up with Ran Fang and knew that Ran Fang could not be used by him, so he also thought about how to maximize the benefits of the newspaper office.
At night, with the crescent moon hanging high in the sky, Li Si sat quietly in the study alone, watching the candlelight flickering, with many thoughts in his mind.
What was on his desk was news about the newspaper. Looking at those words, he found that since Ran Fang came out of Xianyang Prison, the things he did were becoming more and more out of his control, and he no longer even took him seriously.
Otherwise, how could the school affairs fall on me?
In this case, he must give Ran Fang a head-on blow in this newspaper incident, or... find an opportunity for himself to rise.
Li Yuan, who came in from outside, felt the sadness falling on Li Si as soon as he entered the door.
He bent down respectfully, saluted Li Si and said, "Master, the matter has been cleared up."
"Sir, Your Majesty has agreed to Ran Fang's decision to build a paper mill and a printing factory, and the papermaking and printing techniques in the Young Mansion will also be handed over to Ran Fang."
"In the future, the Shaofu will no longer care about these matters, and they will all be handled by the paper mill and printing factory."
Seeing Li Si's increasingly ugly expression, he felt uneasy.
Li Si pondered for a moment and asked, "What's the situation with the Confucian sect?"
"Now that Confucian leader Heng Gao Zhuo Weiran is following Fang Fang's lead, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to place our people in the newspaper office."
Li Si's eyes fell on the candlelight, his eyes were vague and unclear, and his whole person seemed to be shrouded in shadow.
Just when Li Yuan thought Li Si wouldn't speak, he suddenly heard Li Si say in a slightly sinister tone: "The growth of the Confucian sect will be detrimental to the Qin Dynasty!"
"If Ran Fang wants to promote Confucianism, it depends on whether I give him a chance!"
"Since he doesn't give me face, I don't have to worry about our original friendship."
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and with a "pop" sound, he slapped his hand hard on the table.
Then he said in a mocking tone: "I heard that there is a beauty in Ran Fang's house, who is the sister of the traitor Xiang Yu."
"For the sake of a woman, Ran Fang was able to persuade His Majesty to pardon Xiang Yu and let him conquer Baiyue. This is simply bringing trouble to the imperial court!"
"In that case, I will give him another beauty and let him indulge in that gentle country."
"It's not that I secretly cultivated a woman. I originally planned to give it to...forget it, let's give that woman to Ran Fang."
Li Yuan immediately understood. After all, Ran Fang's request to His Majesty for a beauty was a matter of uproar in the court.
That means he loves beauty.
This person is not afraid of having a weakness, but he is afraid of not having a weakness.
"Here."
"My subordinates will take care of it immediately."
"But... Ran Fang is so cautious. That Xiang Jin also lived in the mansion for a long time before she became Ran Fang's woman."
"I'm afraid if we are looking for someone, Ran Fang won't take the bait so easily."
Li Si used a stick to gently pick at the candle, making it a little brighter.
Then, he raised his head and looked at Li Yuan with a hint of blame.
"You can't directly let people appear in front of Ran Fang, but you can use other methods."
"Isn't the newspaper looking for people now?"
"Just send one in, and Ran Fang will probably not find out. As long as she appears in front of Ran Fang, he will definitely fall in love with that woman."
"At that time, not only will Ran Fang be controlled, but I will also be inserted into the newspaper office. This will really kill two birds with one stone."
"Go and do it now. We must arrange that person in before the registration ends so that no one can notice anything unusual."
Hearing this, Li Yuan immediately turned around and left, disappearing into the dark night.
…
The commander's office, in the courtyard.
The early morning sun shone on the ground, and a yard full of people stood in the sunshine. Everyone had beads of sweat on their foreheads, but the movements in their hands did not stop.
The person standing at the front of the crowd was none other than the conductor Ran Fang.
Facing the first ray of sunshine in the morning, Ran Fang faced the sun. His whole body was bathed in the sunlight, and it seemed as if it was covered with a layer of golden light, which made people unable to bear to look directly.
When Gongshu Yan came in, he saw this scene. He couldn't bear to break it when he looked at it from a distance.
It wasn't until everyone stopped and went about their own business that Ran Fang turned his head and saw Gongshu Yan.
He signaled Cao Yangyun with his eyes and walked towards his yard.
Cao Yangyun sweated a lot and walked directly in the direction of Gongshu Weir.
"Brother Gongshu, sir, you have to take a shower. Please sit in the front hall and wait for a while."
With that said, he led Gong Shuyan towards the front hall.
Following Cao Yangyun, Gongshu Yan couldn't help but ask: "What were you doing when I took you just now?"
"Exercising your side, this is a method that you figured out when you were in Xianyang Prison."
Gongshu Yan seemed to have heard of it before. Although he didn't understand it, he still nodded.
"I see."
"I have also heard of this method. Your Majesty seems to be doing this every day in the palace."
Hearing this, Cao Yangyun showed a proud expression on his face. Even though Gongshu Yan could only see his back, he still felt that he must be very proud at this moment.
Sure enough, the next thing I heard was Cao Yangyun saying: "Indeed."
"It was your majesty who informed your majesty of this method in Xianyang Prison at that time, and all of us in the prison have been practicing it."
"Later, when the adults lived in this mansion, they connected this habit. Everyone exercises in this courtyard every morning, and now it has become a habit."
"Even when adults don't exercise, we exercise on our own."
At the end of the sentence, Cao Yangyun still had a slight smile in his tone.
Gongshu Yan nodded, having a different view on the unity of the guards in the mansion.
"Adults do have a way of managing."
"It is indeed a blessing to be able to do things for adults."
