After the theater ended, on the way back.
"Your Highness is worthy of being the one who invented "Datang Weekly"." Changsun Wuji suddenly said with emotion.
"Why did Duke Zhao say this?" Wei Zheng gave him a strange look. Well, Wei Zheng came over to watch a drama today. Although His Majesty did not have the votes, Wei Zheng had the votes, but it was not Wei Zheng who spent the money himself, Fang Qiao invited him, so who should let him owe him a favor?
"Datang Weekly is, among other things, the mouthpiece of the court's public opinion. I believe you two have already seen its role. However, articles like Datang Weekly are actually a bit profound for ordinary people. , many people are also not interested, but this story is different."
"Whether it's "The Prostitute" or "A Chinese Ghost Story", it seems that only the rich and powerful families like me are watching the show, but in fact it has a great impact on some younger scholars. Both of us have grown up since we were young. "Come here, when we were teenagers, didn't we think that we were upright? After reading the books of sages for a few years, we felt that after becoming an official, we would be an upright official for the ages and take it as our duty to save all people in the world?" Changsun Wuji laughed. said.
"But after all these years, is it possible that you two still have the same ideas as before?"
Listening to Changsun Wuji's rhetorical question, Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling were thoughtful, but they did not refute, not even Wei Zheng. Although he, Wei Zheng, can be said to be a breeze on both sleeves, Wei Zheng himself knows very well that he has also compromised and been deliberately "confused".
It was a completely different state of mind than when I first read the book of sages.
At that time, he was really passionate and wanted to be a breeze, serve as an official, benefit one country, and save all people in the world. But now, although he seems to be equally honest, he knows very well that today's integrity is a means, which is completely different from the purity of the past.
If he, Wei Zheng, had a choice and could reasonably and legally possess certain family assets, he, Wei Zheng, would not refuse it now.
After all, Wei Zheng is also a human being. Seeing that his wife, Miss Qianjin, has been with him for a year and cannot afford to buy a set of clothes, he feels in his heart that it is impossible not to feel guilty. I feel even more guilty about my children. They are all human beings, so how can they not have feelings?
"What Mr. Zhao Guogong said is absolutely true. Your Highness is indeed a genius of all ages." Fang Xuanling said with emotion.
"Yes, so I said that the Propaganda Department that I proposed before should be established as early as possible. Such a sharp weapon, I would say is treacherous. It is easy to talk about it when His Majesty and His Highness are here. Otherwise, when His Majesty and His Highness are away, we will have to do it for you. What the villain has gained is really the source of disaster." Changsun Wuji said with emotion.
"Could it be that you still want to live longer than His Majesty?" Wei Zheng sneered.
"That's not true, but I do remember what Li Yan Shangshu said before. Li Yan Shangshu said, if we don't bear the burden and move forward, how can we have such peaceful years. This is probably what His Highness King Qin said, but then again Well, we people are carrying forward with heavy burdens, isn't it just for the sake of peace for future generations? In this case, why not do what can be done at once?" Changsun Wuji said with a smile.
"It's okay. After reading it today, to be honest, we underestimated His Highness's series of methods." Fang Xuanling nodded.
"From the top stage of this kind of stage play, in the follow-up, I heard that many Goulan have already cooperated with His Highness, so I am afraid that "Prostitute" will be performed in some Goulan soon. Even if the scenery and the like are inferior, but The integrity of the story is acceptable, so "The Whore" will soon be spread all over the world."
"Think about it, with secondary performance venues like Goulan, will there be street performing arts troupes in the future? These people's performances may be lower-level, but it does not hinder the overall story. Spread. In addition to that, there are storytellers all over Chang’an City’s teahouses.”
"The stories told by these storytellers are all very interesting, so it is only a matter of time before this story spreads throughout the Tang Dynasty."
"Puppet shows, shadow plays, puppet shows, etc., which have almost the same effect as these troupes, in fact, the form of expression of all these things is not important, what is important is the core. As long as the core of these stories tells the stories told by His Highness, then the field These will be the things discussed by the people in the land."
“How big of an influence is it subtle?”
"With the performance of "A Chinese Ghost Story" today, do you think Master Huizhen will be anxious?" Changsun Wuji said with a smile.
Huizhen is one of the eminent monks of Chang'an Buddhism. He is considered the leader of Chang'an Buddhism and the current abbot of Huichang Temple.
"Urgent, why aren't you in a hurry?" Wei Zheng smiled. His Highness had directly attacked Buddhism. Of course, the world is so big that you can't say that this kind of thing doesn't happen. The three of them are considered to be the three top ministers of the Tang Dynasty. To be honest, they have seen and heard all kinds of strange things that break people's outlook on life.
It is not uncommon for monks and nuns to make peace with each other in the temple, and to hook up with women among the people. It is not too shocking news at all. It is normal to have affairs with those wealthy families.
Although this incident also tainted these wealthy families, they did not name them. The most important thing is that the dynasty of this story took place in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the early Sui Dynasty. It was still far away from the Tang Dynasty, and these wealthy families did not Maybe he's going to cause trouble for His Highness.
Of course, there is probably no fool who would come out to cause trouble to His Highness. His Highness did not name anyone. Did His Highness guess right when you jumped out? If the Ministry of Security were to investigate, which company wouldn't be able to find out anything illegal?
There are some things that I'm afraid to take seriously. If I really want to check you one by one according to the laws and regulations, anyone can find something wrong.
It's just a big or small fault, and you really don't think you can do this kind of thing?
It is impossible to offend His Highness by offending anyone. His Highness's current influence in the Tang Dynasty is not to mention His Highness's actions. If Your Highness does not take action, the spit of the people will drown you.
Go and see how many people around Chang'an City have received favors from His Highness, and how many people in the Tang Dynasty have received favors from His Highness?
"So, this is a system arranged by His Highness, for the sake of the world. To be honest, I think His Highness's step and the previous school should complement each other. If the school did not succeed, this move will Come on, as long as the content is changed, I'm afraid not all the rich and powerful families in the world will be stigmatized."
Changsun Wuji touched his beard and said.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Zhao Guo, your change is quite fast. Are you siding with His Highness so quickly?" Fang Xuanling said suddenly.
