"Newspapers are being sold! Newspapers are being sold! The freshly released "Datang Daily"! Today's headlines - The Cui family of Qinghe rebelled against the imperial court, and Li Jing, Minister of War, led his troops into Zhengzhou to quell the rebellion!"
The "bustling" outside the city had just dissipated, and things started to get lively in Chang'an City and the surrounding counties.
The boys at the major newsstands and the newsboys wandering the streets were selling at the top of their lungs as usual, but what they said today was a bit shocking!
"What? The Cui family has rebelled? Quick! Give me a newspaper!"
"Give me one too!"
When the people heard this, combined with yesterday's rumors and this morning's movements outside the city, they immediately believed 90% of the news. Everyone rushed to the newsstands or newsboys, wanting to buy a copy of "Datang Daily" to find out!
Today's "Datang Daily", the articles in the "Literature Interaction" and "Current Affairs News" sections are all talking about one thing, that is, the Cui family's rebellion. Many of the main writers of the article are high-ranking officials in the court, such as Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, etc.
These big guys have never appeared in the "Datang Daily" before. Now because of the Cui family's rebellion, they all appeared together. It is really a feast for the eyes of the world's literati!
Under the verbal criticism of the court bosses and reporters from the editorial department of "Datang Daily", the numerous crimes committed by the Cui family in the early years and the plotting of rebellion in Zhengzhou this year, inciting and coercing the people to rebel, were all revealed to the public at once. Right now!
Shocking, can only be described as shocking!
Last year, because Li Zexuan used the words of a maid who died unjustly to trigger the anger of the people of Chang'an, and directly destroyed the Cui family's "stronghold" in Chang'an City, the people had no good impression of the Cui family to begin with, and now something like this happened again. The common people have no good impression of the Qinghe Cui family that has existed for thousands of years!
"How presumptuous! The Cui family dares to recruit troops privately and rebel against the imperial court? Fortunately, they are still five surnames and seven hopes. They have done such a treasonous and unethical thing. The Cui family should be destroyed!"
"What? The Cui family and bandits assassinated Wei Zuocheng in Zhengzhou? Who gave them the courage?"
"Tsk~! Aren't they anxious because Wei Zuocheng found out too many illegal things about the Cui family in Zhengzhou?"
"What? Wei Zuocheng was assassinated? How is he now?"
"Hmm! That's not clear. The "Datang Daily" only said that Guancheng County in Zhengzhou was attacked by a group of bandits last month. The group of bandits also broke into the state government office. Wei Zuocheng's whereabouts are unknown. "Datang Daily" Reporters from the Daily suspect that all this is caused by the Cui family!"
"Wei Zuocheng was harmed by the Cui family? Damn the Cui family today! Wei Zuocheng is a rare good official in the Tang Dynasty, so nothing can happen to him!"
"After a few years of peace, the Cui family wants to start a war again. It is the local people who will suffer!"
"Hmph! The Cui family has done many evil things and should be punished by both humans and gods. I want to join the army and put down the rebellion for Your Majesty!"
Although today's aristocratic families have won over many scholars, there are still quite a few scholars who come from poor families and their hearts are towards the imperial court. As soon as they heard the news that the Cui family had plotted to murder Wei Zheng and plotted a rebellion, many scholars rolled up their sleeves and were ready to give up. I joined the army and went to the battlefield!
Maybe this is the anger of the book business!
"Zhang Xiucai, you'd better save your money! How can you, a person with such delicate skin and tender flesh, endure the hardships on the battlefield? You'd better study hard and gain fame!"
"Uncle Hu, what you said is wrong? I can endure the hardship of studying hard in the cold window, why can't I endure the hardship of the battlefield?"
"Hehe! Say what you want, but now even if you want to join the army to put down the rebellion, it's already too late! Because old man, when I entered the city in the morning, I saw that the army outside the city had already set out!"
"What? The counter-rebellion army has already set off? So soon?"
"Of course! If it were later, wouldn't the Cui family do more evil~?"
Yunshan, Yanhuang Academy.
The news of the Cui family's rebellion caused an uproar among the students. Of course, what shocked the students even more was that Tiedan and Meng Wenhao also went with the army this time!
This makes them feel quite incredible!
From ancient times to the present, the dream of literati is nothing more than self-cultivation, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world. Now, Tiedan and Meng Wenhao are leading everyone on the path to peace, which makes the students yearn for and envy them!
"Holy crap! Why can Tiedan and Meng Wenhao go, but you and Baolin and I can't? With our martial arts skills, if we went to Zhengzhou, wouldn't that mean we killed seven in and seven out of the rebels?"
After Cheng Chumo heard the news, he couldn't help but patted his thigh and said depressedly.
Speaking of countering the rebellion this time, his father Cheng Yaojin directly led the army. He was the one who should go there, but the people who went there turned out to be Meng Wenhao and Tiedan. It would be strange if he wasn't depressed!
"Well, Chu Mo, I want to go too, but my father will definitely not let me go, and the same goes for you!"
Yuchi Baolin thought for a while, shook his head.
"Why? My old man, Cheng, is so good at martial arts. I'm sure he can make great achievements here!"
Cheng Chumo stared and said shamelessly.
Yuchi Baolin pursed his lips and hesitated to speak. After a moment, he still said: "Ugly Niu, I think the mountain leader is right. I should plant a tree in your heart on Arbor Day next year!"
"Wocao, Baolin, do you deserve a beating?"
Cheng Chumo almost choked to death and was about to take action when he heard a light cough coming from behind him.
"Ahem!"
Cheng Chumo turned around and saw that it was Li Zexuan, and he quickly stopped.
Li Zexuan glanced at him, then ignored the guy and walked directly to the podium. In the first classroom, the students suddenly became quiet, and the two empty seats seemed a bit eye-catching at this time.
"The Cui family rebelled and became fierce. Wenhao and Tiedan went south with the army this time. They are both heroes of Yanhuang Academy! I know that some of you also want to be a hero, but before you have this idea, you must first Learn the knowledge taught to you by Mr. Academy!
Do you know why I chose the two of them to go to Zhengzhou this time? Because they know how to use a telegraph machine. The transmission of information from Zhengzhou to Changan requires a telegraph machine! In future wars, mere bravery will not suffice. At that time, the wisdom of our Yanhuang Academy students will be used in more and more places. Therefore, if you want to serve the country, then you must learn engineering well first! Do you understand everything~? "
Looking at the longing eyes under the podium, Li Zexuan nodded happily and said loudly to all the students.
"I understand~!"
After the students heard the reasons why Meng Wenhao and Tiedan joined the army this time, they suddenly felt full of strength! In the past, they just thought that engineering studies could allow them to become a small official or a wealthy person. Now, they have discovered that engineering studies have a more important role, which is to protect their families and the country!
