Li Dongyang was good at planning, so when His Highness the Crown Prince mentioned martial law in the capital, he immediately thought that his real intention was not to control the five hundred people in the mission.
Although there are soldiers among those people, there are also businessmen, officials, etc. After all, they only have a fighting strength of two to three hundred people. The Ming Dynasty's capital has hundreds of thousands or hundreds of soldiers... What kind of strictness is needed?
Although the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, there is nothing wrong with this arrangement.
However, based on Li Dongyang's understanding of the East Palace, he dared to conclude that the prince did not only consider this point.
The prince obviously considered that a large number of civil servants would oppose the proposal of the East Palace, which was obviously unbecoming of a great power, so he instituted martial law in the capital, because once martial law was imposed, the commotion became louder.
There was such a big commotion and there was no Tatar army outside Beijing, so the people wanted to ask why.
So naturally, within three days, everyone in the capital knew that His Royal Highness wanted to save this money.
Most common people do not have a high level of vision. Five hundred Tatars, like the superiors, all have to spend money from the court. How can they be willing?
Until then, whoever dares to object to His Highness being too fierce?
Thinking about it, I will be like Qian Gui, who will be beaten to the point of being discredited.
When the time comes and everyone is shouting for beatings, what's the point of a few scholars praising his virtues?
This is a woven cage, just waiting for someone to jump out of it.
And someone is bound to jump in.
But he couldn't remind him like this... What if he was caught by the prince again? He is an official, not a Bodhisattva, so it is good to be able to protect himself.
But the two colleagues beside me can say that.
Especially Liu Jian, while he was drafting the decree, he could not help but say worriedly: "Your Highness's intention is to prepare for war and compete with the Tatars. His ambition is the legacy of Taizu. Unfortunately, I am worried about the ministers in the court." I cannot understand His Highness’s intentions.”
Seeing that he was worried like this, Li Dongyang expressed what he had just been thinking.
Liu Jian and Xie Qian were naturally a little surprised by this exit.
"Don't believe it?" Li Dongyang tilted his head and asked with a smile.
"It's not impossible..." Xie Qian thought about Dong Gong's wisdom these few times, at least he didn't dare to deny it.
But Li Dongyang firmly believed, "I dare to say that it must be so. So Mr. Liu Ge doesn't have to worry. The Prince of the East Palace is by no means a reckless person. It is he who has the final say whether there will be chaos in the court or not."
…
…
"Does the newspaper your Highness mentioned refer to the Di Bao published by the General Affairs Department?" Zhang Tianrui asked the prince this question in the palace.
Zhu Houzhao originally planned to open a newspaper.
Since the purpose of recalling Wang Hao and establishing an academy was to guide public opinion, how could he forget the newspaper, which is the most important means of guiding public opinion?
This is much simpler and easier than inventing the steam engine.
As for the "Di Bao" that Zhang Tianrui mentioned was published by the General Affairs Department, it was a publication used by the government to copy the emperor's edicts, ministers' memorials and other documents as well as related political situations.
In essence, it is a kind of government communiqué, which is a political activity rather than an economic activity.
"It's different. The newspaper I'm talking about is not mainly about publishing imperial edicts and ministers' memorials, but about recording various major events, strange things, or things that the people are concerned about for a period of time. Let's take the academy as an example."
….
Zhu Houzhao slowly guided him, "The Academy has aroused a lot of discussion among the people in the capital. Everyone is concerned about it, but not everyone knows what it is about. If you, Zhang Tianrui, wrote an introduction article at that time, Beijing Central Maybe there will be hundreds of people willing to buy it.”
"Buying?" Zhang Tianrui was curious, "What do you mean, Your Highness, do you want to buy this?"
"Of course you have to buy it. Otherwise, where will the costs for paper, ink, movable type printing, etc. come from? Of course, you can give them away for free in the initial stage, and then sell them later."
Zhang Tianrui probably understood it, but he was still very doubtful, "Your Highness, something like this may not be sold for a few taels of silver. Why does Your Highness specifically want it?"
"The right to speak." Zhu Houzhao asked, "Do you still remember?
In the memorial written by Huang Wenyou, the chief envoy of Shandong Province, he clearly stated that Yang Tinghe was an eunuch. Doesn't the implication mean that the prince of this palace trusts the eunuchs too much? You are by my side, and you know that the situation in Shandong is not the same at all. Except for eunuchs, I have no one to use at that gate. But the facts were covered up like this. Huang Wenyou wrote a memorial and easily put the word eunuch on Yang Tinghe's head. Why? "
"Why...why?"
"Because some people believe what he says! And those who believe what he says make the loudest noise. No matter how loud the voices of those people who benefit from Shandong are, we in Beijing can't hear them."
"Oh, I understand. If there is this newspaper in the future, then His Highness can make a voice and let everyone in the world know that His Highness is not who they say he is."
Finally got smart for once.
"Go and do it quickly. Be careful, write it simply, don't copy a piece of "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" on it, otherwise who can understand it? As for the first thing, write about the Tatar Mission!"
"I accept the decree!" He shouted firmly, but after he finished shouting, he hesitated a little.
Zhu Houzhao asked: "What's wrong with you? What's the problem?"
"Your Highness, I have something to say, but I don't know whether to say it or not."
Zhu Houzhao: "..."
If it sounds like this, he has watched too many TV dramas in his previous life, and now it really sounds a bit weird.
"You tell me."
"Weichen is a fool. He has studied hard since he was a child. In business, the most important thing is to be flexible, that is, you need to have a sharp brain, sharp eyes, sharp mouth, and sharp mind... This kind of thing, Wei Chen really I don’t have enough confidence. However, as your Highness has entrusted me, I should do my best and never dare to have the slightest thought of declining, so I... I, I would like to recommend someone."
"Tell me, who is it? It makes you so embarrassed."
Zhang Tianrui's face looked like a bitter gourd, "Your Majesty, the person I want to recommend is Quanzi."
Dog?
Zhu Houzhao laughed, oh, no wonder it made this old guy feel uncomfortable. He was afraid of nepotism.
But he also had an impression of Zhang Tianrui's son.
He glanced at Liu Jin and recalled, "I remember your son's name is Zhang Cheng..."
"Zhang Chengtian." Liu Jin reminded in a low voice.
"Oh, yes, Zhang Chengtian. That's a gambler. How can you leave this kind of thing to him?" The prince's face changed, and he thought, "You are kidding me."
[A book-chasing book recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, @

In this era, what does filial piety mean? What does it mean to earn face for dad?
Needless to say, just look at Wang Hua and Wang Shouren.
My father was a Jinshi, so you can win a Jinshi for me too!
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was in a good mood, Liu Jin became bolder and said with a smile, "It's a pity that Zhang Zhongyun's mantle will be passed on to whom."
When Zhu Houzhao heard the words 'Zhongyun,' he suddenly remembered that time was almost up. "It's not easy for him, and he has been working hard recently. How is Zuo Yude and Li Min doing now?"
Liu Jin heard what Xian meant and said, "On duty as usual, nothing special."
"I went to ask for the emperor's decree, and in his place, Zhang Tianrui was promoted to Zuo Yude of Zhan Shifu!"
How can you work with the prince and not be rewarded for your efforts?
Soon after, a eunuch came in with a request and said, "Your Highness, Nanning Bo Mao Rong wishes to see you."
Liu Jin was shocked, Nanning Bo Maorong? This is the commander of Tengxiang's left guard. He came here at this time, presumably because of the Tatar mission.
"Xuan!"
The eldest son of the Ming Dynasty.
