That night, Li Min called Kong Yingda directly.
Let him write good news about the imperial examination.
"Master Confucius, write in tomorrow's newspaper about the good news about the imperial examination: In the spring of the eighth year of Zhenguan, a total of 105 people passed the imperial examination. The world is celebrating! The Tang Dynasty will be strong!..."
All one hundred of his people got Jinshi, and including others, there were only five people. This time, he became the biggest winner. The first step to control the imperial court has been completed.
Li Min's purpose in doing this was obvious, to teach some people a lesson. And deliberately let it out so that they would be fooled.
Who those people are will soon emerge.
At the same time, Zhenguan Bao will be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In terms of the timeliness of this newspaper report alone, it will be posted faster than the imperial list. Once the people know about it, it will definitely be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If you have a newspaper, why should you read the imperial list? What a waste of time! More people will subscribe to newspapers, and the influence of newspapers will rise to another level. This is his plan and one of his purposes!
When these words came out, Kong Yingda was a little shocked.
"Mr. Zili, the good news has been spread rashly before the imperial examination has started. Is this good? If someone reports it and accuses it of rumors, I'm afraid the Zhenguan Newspaper will not be able to continue! Please think twice!"
Kong Yingda is right in saying this. The Zhenguan newspaper must be accurate. Any oversight will cause unnecessary trouble.
He didn't understand at all, why did he do this? Why take the risk?
What are the benefits of doing this?
If it is not true, then all this is just a rumor. If Li Shimin finds out, he will probably be scolded.
It will also affect Zhenguan Bao.
What would happen if such a good newspaper disappeared?
Li Min didn't take it seriously.
He said: "This newspaper will be printed tomorrow night and distributed in the morning the day after tomorrow. It will be after the imperial examination results are released! It's just published first and then published. And my prediction is very accurate! It's not a rumor anymore!"
He wanted to publish the Zhenguan Newspaper at the same time as the imperial examination results were released.
"But the results haven't come out yet. What if there are not 105 people? One more person and one less person will cause unnecessary trouble."
"You don't have to worry about this. I dare to guarantee with my personality that there will be 105 Jinshis tomorrow, no more, no less! If you want to know more details, I can give you the names!"
Kong Yingda was shocked.
"But……"
"Don't worry, write it down tonight. I told you this value, and it must be published in tomorrow's newspaper! This is a great blessing for the Tang Dynasty. We must let everyone in the world know about it in advance! Do you understand?"
Kong Yingda sighed and said that there was nothing we could do about it.
That can only be what Li Min meant.
"Okay, I'll just write it down tonight! I'll ask someone to send the article to Shengtang Group tonight!"
"Thanks for your hard work!"
"This is what I should do!"
He didn't know why he was asked to write it. Maybe Li Min had his own plan. He also had selfish motives and did not intend to sign his name when writing. After all, if something goes wrong, no one can afford the consequences!
"It's getting late, you should go back and rest early!"
Then, Li Min asked Kong Yingda to leave.
Kong Yingda returned home feeling puzzled.
He didn't understand why Li Min did this.
Are there any benefits to doing this?
There are no advantages and disadvantages!
He couldn't figure it out.
As soon as he arrived home, he saw a man standing in front of him.
He was startled and asked:
"Shang Shu, why are you here?"
The person coming is none other than Hou Junji!
As soon as he came, he said: "What? We haven't had a drink together for a long time, and I happen to be free today! What? Don't you welcome me?"
"What are you talking about? Come on, come on and sit inside."
It turns out that the relationship between the two is not bad.
Kong Yingda was a little confused about Hou Junji's arrival.
Just come to yourself if you are fine, what is that for?
He didn't know that Hou Junji had long been blinded by hatred.
He only wanted to make Li Min's life miserable.
So, this time, I took Kong Yingda directly.
Get some secrets out of him and attack the newspaper!
All because Kong Yingda is in charge of Zhenguan Newspaper!
The two entered Kong Yingda's house and chatted and even had fun until after midnight.
Hou Junji brought Kong Yingda's information to the Daming Palace.
He called Li Shimin directly.
He said he had something urgent to report.
Li Shimin was very unhappy and looked at him with a straight face.
Hou Junji then said: "Your Majesty, I have something urgent to report!"
Later, I talked to Li Shimin about some of Li Min's decisions.
This made Li Shimin smile bitterly and said: "That boy is so overconfident that he actually guessed how many people will be Jinshi this year? I am very curious, can he really guess so accurately?"
No one believes it, so how is that possible?
"Your Majesty, the key point is not this, but whether there is something fishy in it. Does this confirm that Duke Wei is using power for personal gain?"
Hou Junji's brain circuit is very strange.
If you look at it from this aspect, it does have some meaning.
It must be Fang Xuanling's fault.
If this was the case, Li Shimin would probably be pissed to death.
However, Li Shimin added: "Didn't we change the topic? This may allow him to reflect on it!"
If Fang Xuanling knew that these people were secretly plotting against him, he would be furious to death.
It was obvious that there was no such thing, but Hou Junji was able to make it work.
"I feel that the Sixth Prince is too arrogant. If he can't guess correctly this time, shall we get back the publishing rights of the newspaper? We cannot give him such an important thing!"
Hou Junji said so.
This gave Li Shimin an idea.
Yes, this newspaper is here for Li Min, so there are indeed some things that he cannot grasp.
"Let's discuss this later!"
"Your Majesty, won't you punish the Sixth Prince directly?"
Hou Junji asked.
"Let's read about this tomorrow! The newspaper hasn't come out yet?"
"Yes! I know!"
The next day, the entire city of Chang'an felt like it was a festival.
On the first floor of Daming Palace, a large number of candidates gathered.
Prepare for exam preparation.
Today is hosted by Li Shimin, with Hou Junji and others cooperating.
Li Shimin used the loudspeaker Xue Rengui gave him directly.
Facing a large number of candidates, he made some emotional remarks.
At the same time, the loudspeaker in front of these candidates shocked them.
This made Li Shimin feel happy.
Others just like it when others praise them. The more they praise them, the happier they will be.
The exam lasted for half a day. In the afternoon, the civil servants involved in the review began to anonymously check the candidates' papers and gathered the good ones in front of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin looked at the pile of papers in front of him and was stunned.
"This... so much!?"
