Seeing her precious son's serious look, Empress Zhou ignored the embarrassing things mentioned by the younger one this time and said slightly happily: "This thing has a very good use. If it appears, it may benefit tens of thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty." Women, Brother Xun has done a decent thing!"
Not to mention the sales volume, as long as this product can achieve the effects mentioned by Brother Xun, at least many beauties in the residence will favor it and compete to buy it. If we take the opportunity to promote it to the female dependents of noble families, it won't be too difficult to do so.
Concubine Yuan Guifei had eaten the delicious meat skewers, and she had no doubt in her heart. She praised the prince very much: "Brother Xang has been very smart since he was a child. Now he can understand the things of the fairy world at the age of ten. It is really a blessing to the world. I am very happy for my sister." Got it!"
When choosing between the empress in the palace and the favored concubine, Concubine Yuan would not make a wrong judgment. Even if the emperor has not returned from his immortal journey, as long as the crown prince is in the ascendant, the master of the imperial palace will naturally remain as stable as Mount Tai, unshakable.
"My son, I will write down a list of the required personnel and materials first. I still need my two aunts to go back and make arrangements!"
The personnel alone include models, tailors, carpenters, weavers, and cotton players. There should be palace maids engaged in these things. If there is not enough manpower, in addition to models, you can use eunuchs to supplement the number. As long as you make real objects, you can receive rewards. .
Empress Zhou felt that the conversation was almost over, and did not want to force the two concubines to continue chatting, so she decided to break up the meeting: "That's very good. It's getting late, so you two sisters should have a rest early!"
The two noble concubines Yuan and Tian understood that the queen and the prince were different from themselves, and there were still many political affairs to deal with, so they resigned. There will be an early court tomorrow morning, and Queen Zhou herself has to be energetic enough to accompany the prince to the court.
Although the imperial decree of the Ming Dynasty prohibited the queen from intervening in politics, the prince was still young and insisted that his mother should accompany him to avoid being tricked by treacherous ministers. Empress Zhou had no choice but to take risks for the sake of the country and the country, and she did not hesitate to be criticized by the ministers.
Just as the mother and son were about to return to the palace, Wang Chengen rushed over to report: "Your Highness the Queen and Your Highness the Prince, Princess Le'an has been ordered to bring her consort Gong Yonggu to see you!"
After the blame-shifting of the father and son caused heavenly punishment, the Forbidden City was under strict security and the gates were closed. Empress Zhou ordered that nobles and ministers were not allowed to visit without permission, and a curfew was implemented in the capital. After nightfall, Luo Yangxing's men under the command of the Jin Yiwei were responsible for guarding outside the Forbidden City. Inside the city, the Dongchang sect, which had been transformed into a founder, patrolled back and forth, and any trespassers would be shot to death.
The beautiful mother slowly stood up, and the maid immediately stepped forward to tidy up her clothes. She said, "Brother Hong, please go back to the palace first. Go and pay homage to your father first, and then bring him here to see Brother Hong!"
The royal family in the palace, such as the Queen Mother Zhang Yan, would naturally have met the emperor who dumped the blame. Princess Le'an lived outside the palace after she got married. She is the emperor's biological sister, and she has to line up to see her.
Yaoji looked at the clock on the table. It must have been about forty minutes before dense footsteps came from outside the palace. The queen, princess, consort, plus accompanying eunuchs and maids, there were dozens of people. .
Princess Le'an is the eighth daughter of the Mingguang Sect and the sister of Emperor Chongzhen. Her appearance is naturally not that ugly, but now her pretty face looks like she has cried, her eyes are red and her expression is haggard.
As the eldest nephew, Yao Ji was indifferent and stepped forward to comfort him: "Auntie, don't worry. His Majesty the Father just went to study in the immortal world and pay homage to Grandpa Taizu. My nephew, haven't I already returned? Your Majesty the Father is so blessed. God, aunt just needs to wait patiently! The palace is as usual, aunt, there is no need to feel sad, remember not to be tricked out of the palace information by people with ulterior motives, otherwise it will lead to catastrophe! "
Seeing the way Princess Le'an was wearing a plain coat and skirt, Yaoji guessed that the other party was prepared for something unexpected to happen to the emperor's brother, so even if the queen issued an order to invite the couple to an audience, she did not dare to wear a bright red crown and gown. Otherwise, it would be a great crime of disrespect to the blame-shifting father.
Although the beauty of Princess Le'an is not as good as that of the three girls headed by the empress, she is still outstandingly beautiful, slim, and naturally noble. She and the burly consort Gong Yonggu are leaning against each other. An envious couple.
As soon as the prince reminded her, Princess Le'an hurriedly put away her sorrowful feelings, slightly restored her former princess demeanor, and respectfully said: "His Royal Highness the prince taught you a lesson very well. It was just now that I didn't understand the rules and behaved rudely." , I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"
Since the emperor's brother is no longer able to manage politics and the prince is now in charge of the country, the prince is the actual ruler of the Ming Dynasty, and his status is even higher than that of the queen. No matter how old the prince is, as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, he must follow the rules and regulations of the Ming Dynasty. Do what you say.
Yaoji hurriedly stretched out his hand to avoid being so polite, saying, "Auntie, there is no need to be so polite. These are extraordinary times. Just be careful in everything. Don't believe those rumors. Everything can go as usual. If others ask about the palace Regarding the matter, aunt only needs to ask the other party why he is so interested in inquiring about the affairs of the palace? Presumably, that person will be frightened and will not say anything more. If I still have a discussion with the consort, aunt should spend more time with my mother!"
Once the confrontation is over, as long as you are not a fool, you will not tell the truth and wisely avoid this sensitive topic. If you are slightly careless and are sent to the palace by the princess, you will be arrested by the Dongchang sect according to the enemy's meticulous standards. Going to jail is the result.
Yaoji brought Gong Yonggu to the side hall of Kunning Palace. After the two sat down, they asked, "Uncle, how are you doing here?"
The Gong family is not considered wealthy in the capital, that is, it is above the average level. Fortunately, when Princess Le'an got married, her mother's family naturally distributed a lot of dowry, so that the princess would not be burdened by hardships, and the life of the two would be smooth after marriage. It can be regarded as complete and happy.
When asked about his own affairs, Gong Yonggu hurriedly stood up, bowed his hands and saluted, saying: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Hongfu, everything is well. Your Highness is concerned about me, and I am extremely grateful!"
In the eyes of the consort, although he was Emperor Chongzhen's brother-in-law, he must not offend the future little emperor. What's more, he is now in power. Although he bears the title of prince, he still exercises the power of the emperor. If you are singled out by the other party, you will lose more than you gain.
Yaoji was disgusted that his family always had to perform such trivial etiquette, and waved to the Prince Consort in a relaxed and comfortable manner: "Uncle, you don't have to be like this. Didn't your uncle also see it just now? Everything in the palace is as usual. You and I are just chatting tonight. By the way, Let’s talk about some profitable business, I wonder if uncle is interested?”
If you really want to compliment and greet me like a scholar, why would I want to see you?
If you have this free time, you might as well go flirt with Sister Xi'er, who has a big butt and a fat butt.
Gong Yonggu sat down again and asked cautiously: "I don't know what kind of business your highness refers to this profitable business?"
The prince said this, which meant that he wanted to work for him, which was a way to win over him in disguise.
As for whether this business is profitable, it doesn't actually matter. Gong Yonggu is very aware of the cliques in the court.
Since he became the emperor's brother-in-law, Gong Yonggu has always been strict with himself and abided by his duties. He did not join cliques, recruit soldiers, or look for flowers. He devoted himself to being his consort. He was considered a good gentleman.
Yao Ji avoided the confusion of the consort's speculation and pointed it out directly: "I heard that my uncle advocates literature, has elegant interests, and has extensive knowledge. He likes to make friends with wise men and visit mountains and rivers. He can be regarded as a model of our Ming Dynasty talents. So I plan to hire my uncle as the "Capital Master" As the president and editor-in-chief of the Daily, I wonder what my uncle’s wishes are for managing this newspaper?”
Since the palace doors have been closed for the past two days, and the noble prince has an informant in the palace, after many hearsays, rumors are bound to spread outside the palace, and there must be many people who take the opportunity to cause trouble in the capital.
Yao Ji must use something to control the trend of public opinion at this time, guide the people's audio and video, suppress various forces with ulterior motives, and stop the evil trends that are ready to move, so as to turn disadvantages into advantages.
Gong Yonggu was thoughtful, and with his knowledge and ability to draw parallels, he thought for a moment before conjecturing: "I am a humble minister, but I wonder if the thing Your Highness is referring to is the Di Bao?"
"Di Bao" is the text version of the internal news of the Ming Dynasty. It mainly involves military affairs and imperial decrees, as well as a small amount of anecdotes. It is mainly used to distribute to officials at all levels and some members of the Ming Dynasty for reading. The content includes narrations of events, Analysis, commentary and more.
The famous fact that Chongzhen wanted to send envoys to negotiate peace with the Qing Dynasty was supervised by the Minister of War, Chen Xinjia. This was widely publicized by Di Bao, which shocked the government and the public and caused an uproar throughout the country. In the end, the face-loving dumpster couldn't stand the attacks from the ministers and forced Chen Xinjia to move his head to act as a scapegoat.
Yaoji understood that Gong Yonggu was not a bookish prince-in-law. He at least knew how to draw inferences from one instance and could roughly guess the relationship between Xinbao and "Dibao", so he explained: "They are similar. "Dibao" is only spread among officials. The narrow circle is not conducive for the people to learn about the government's decrees, so as to stabilize the people's hearts. As the name suggests, the "Jingshi Daily" is published and distributed every day, and is open to the public. If you have money, you can buy it!"
The Ming Dynasty only realized the ability to print large-scale books, periodicals, and newspapers with movable type last year. It was a good time for him to come. He had not caught up with the era of Doubi engraving. Otherwise, if he had no ambitions, he would have to be patient and force the engravers to engrave characters. That's it...
"Di Bao" is something supervised and published by the Secretary of General Affairs. For the prince, this thing can't make money, and it can't be correct. Its main function is to ventilate the worms at all levels below. Once intercepted by rogues, It can also be used as bragging rights.
Therefore, instead of improving "Di Bao", it is better to start from scratch. With this propaganda platform, let the prince consort be his mouthpiece, recruit some talented people who have failed repeatedly, and everyone can get together to write and write, and make some windfall. Isn’t it wonderful?
