Many times, things are most afraid of being covered up. The more unclear it is, the more people will think about it and worry.
If the court's announcement is just a piece of paper, what can it say about complex matters?
As for the Di newspaper, it was issued by the General Affairs Department, and it was impossible for the Di newspaper to be very detailed. More importantly, the speed of reporting out of the residence is not that fast!
At this time, the publication of "Ming Pao" just made up for the shortcomings in this area, allowing everyone in the capital to understand the general story of the whole matter.
One thing that is completely different from Di Bao is that there are also comments on these two incidents. It has to be said that this review is actually very critical. It provides the first comment on these events. Based on the importance of first impression, it plays an important role in guiding public opinion.
Many people in the capital finally felt at ease after seeing this "Ming Pao".
It was also at this time that they began to pay attention to Ming Pao itself.
"Who came up with this Ming Pao newspaper? It's really a good thing!"
"No, the words "Ming Pao" are said to be personally inscribed by the emperor, so they must have an extraordinary origin!"
"Look, it's written here, do you see it? The first newspaper in the Ming Dynasty was published. It's such a big statement. The first newspaper in the Ming Dynasty, tsk tsk!"
"The emperor personally wrote that the Ming Dynasty is the first. Do you still have any objections? But what the hell is this Ming Dynasty's No. 1 newspaper? The property in that lord's name?"
"..."
Without a human background in the government, it is absolutely impossible to become powerful. Not to mention, if it has the emperor's personal endorsement, it definitely has a lot of background. These dignitaries in the capital naturally began to track down whose property it was as soon as possible!
"Look, the editor-in-chief is Chen Yuanyuan. It seems to be a girl's name. This is really weird. Who is this person? He sounds familiar!"
"Could it be Chen Yuanyuan, one of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai?"
"Impossible. Although she is famous, can she still get the emperor to give her an inscription?"
"Didn't you say that Chen Yuanyuan is in Governor Tian's house? This "Ming Pao" shouldn't belong to Governor Tian, right? It's possible!"
"..."
Many people speculated on this result, so without saying anything, they rushed to Tian Hongyu's house.
Officials have this sense of smell, and the weight of "Ming Pao" will definitely be very heavy. Not to mention making money or not, just the weight in officialdom!
Just for this reason, I must curry favor with Tian Hongyu and have a good relationship with him!
So, before noon, the threshold of Tian Hongyu's house was almost broken!
This time, Tian Hongyu was confused. He received one person, but before they could even start a conversation, the next one came. Before he could greet him, another one came...
The most important thing is that people in the officialdom are relatively reserved. They will not shout things like "Old Tian, you are good at running Ming Pao" as soon as they come to the door.
Of course Tian Hongyu knew that something must have happened.
But the problem is that he is not as worried as others, after all, Concubine Tian is here. In addition, he learned Zhou Kui's lesson and did not interact with others and lived his own comfortable life behind closed doors. He really didn't know the situation outside in such a short period of time!
Finally, looking at the people in the living room, he finally couldn't help it anymore and asked, "Everyone, just tell me. What happened when you came here unexpectedly? I'm really afraid of you!"
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. At this time, he is most afraid of being taken advantage of by others and ending up like Zhou Kui!
So, someone took out a copy of Ming Pao that he had with him.
Needless to say, after Tian Hongyu figured out the truth of the matter, he was speechless. So this is what happened!
"Everyone, I'll tell you the truth!" Tian Hong didn't dare to be careless when he saw that it was a matter involving Duke Xingguo, so he said truthfully, "If it is really that Chen Yuanyuan, he is now a member of Duke Xingguo's house! You can go out Turn left, cross the street and go to the Duke's Mansion to find out!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded. But when they came back to their senses, they suddenly realized that it would be truly reasonable and reasonable if it were the Duke's Office that published this "Ming Pao"!
However, they didn't have the courage to go to Xingguo Duke's Mansion. That's the commander of the Jinyi Guards. He's been arresting people everywhere these days. Who dares to go there!
When it comes to giving gifts, it’s not like I’ve never given gifts before, but after receiving the gift, it doesn’t matter what happens! The most representative example is Chen Xinjia!
After figuring out the relationship behind "Ming Pao", many people began to study this "Ming Pao".
Not to mention, after such research, they discovered a lot of new things.
First of all, the signatures of those current political commentaries are all signed by a person named "Zhongyuan Wubai". It is estimated that this person may be Xing Guogong's master or something. What is a little surprising is that there is a popular storytelling series in Ming Pao, and the signature is also "Zhongyuan Wubai".
This is a bit strange!
Commenting on current affairs requires a deep understanding of officialdom; generally speaking, such people have no time to write about popular matters, for what purpose?
Another new thing is that there is a section called the Gewu section, and the chief editors are Man Gong and Nan Lei. Many people know that Man Gong is the nickname of Fang Yizhi, and Nan Lei is the nickname of Huang Zongxi. These two people are still famous, and the content of the objects they investigated is also amazing.
The editor-in-chief is Chen Yuanyuan's section, which published a piece of music that is said to have been adapted from the song of the same name "The Legend of Peace Will Stay" by Wu Bai of the Central Plains.
Zeng Zhi Confucian scholars created peace,
I once vowed that the more danger I take, the more responsible I will be.
…
People's livelihood is happy and the old man is old,
Peace will last forever.
Regarding this piece of music, many people commented that it was not up to Chen Yuanyuan’s standards and was not neat at all. However, the meaning conveyed in it really made some celebrities think about it.
One day later, almost everyone in the capital met each other and talked about Ming Pao.
For those in the officialdom, topics focus on the current affairs section;
Young talents who want to become famous can talk about the Gewu section. After all, if you want to be famous, it’s easiest to be new and different! The invisible and intangible air is actually the same thing as water!
Even the wind and moon are shrinking, the warblers and the swallows are chattering, and they are all talking about the song changed by the eight beauties of Qinhuai. How should we sing it? This is a hot spot. If you take advantage of this momentum and sing it, it will definitely attract those talents and celebrities.
In restaurants and teahouses where lay people are more concentrated, there are several storytellers stationed there who temporarily changed the storytelling titles and told stories serialized in "Ming Pao" to attract popularity.
Finally, some people even saw a call for manuscripts. Anyone who submitted a manuscript could pay a fee and be published in a later issue of Ming Pao.
As a result, a large group of people were eager to try. If they could pass the manuscript, the royalties would be a small matter, but fame would be a big deal. The most important thing is that it may also fall into the eyes of Duke Xingguo, which will have a bright future!
Of course, there must be people who are unhappy with Ming Pao. They just sneak around like rats and spread some of their opinions. It's hard to talk about the imperial examination manipulation case, so I specifically attacked the case of Shanxi merchants and prisoners of war.
"Look, this "Ming Pao" is obviously a cover-up. It was created to slaughter fat sheep for the imperial court. Otherwise, why didn't it come out earlier and later, but why did it come out after the martial law was lifted?"
"Yes, it is said that Shanxi merchants were complicit, but what about the six Shanxi merchants? Did they plead guilty?"
"What, that Huang Yun has made a move? He's already in prison, what else can't he confess?"
"So much food seized? Don't forget, they are businessmen. Isn't it normal to hoard food?"
"..."
It’s hard to find faults in the eggs, but you can always pick out some. Based on their different positions, some people believe it and some don't. In short, public opinion in the capital is not all harmonious.
Regarding these, Zhang Mingwei knew immediately through the information collection office that had been arranged. He didn't care about this. He just responded to Zhu Yuluo's anger and said, "It's okay. Now let them catch the wind and confuse the public. When they turn around, the criminals will be handed over to the Three Justices Division for trial, and Zhangjiakou will also escort the criminals back for trial. These rumors Naturally, it will defeat itself!"
"However, the eight major Shanxi merchants only captured two people, which is still a bit too few!" Zhu Yuyao said a little worried after hearing this.
"Haha, they will be caught sooner or later. Even if there are people who are dissatisfied, they are not the mainstream and don't need to be ignored!" Zhang Mingwei sneered after hearing this.
After a pause, he added, "In the next issue of current affairs, I will write in more detail based on the confessions of Huang Yunfa and Zhai Tang. I will also write two more comments, focusing on the harmful consequences caused by these acts of complicity, and denounce them. They cited the things they forgot about their ancestors and guided public opinion."
Hearing what he said, Zhu Aona became curious again and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, why is your pen name called Zhongyuan Wubai? What's the origin of this?"
When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he smiled and said, "Those who know know this, and those who don't know don't know, so I won't say it anymore!"
………………
Not to mention Zhang Mingwei's little thoughts, let's just say that at this time, there was a hiding place in the mountains outside Zhangjiakou, and a group of "rats" came out. The leading man said to the others, "It has been several days, and the imperial officers and soldiers are no longer pursuing us so closely. If we don't leave, we will starve to death in the mountains!"
"Oh, I really want to cry!" The man following him sighed, "I have worked hard for half a lifetime, but it all came to nothing in the blink of an eye. What a sin!"
"Tian Shenglan, that's what I look down on you for, you look like a girl just like your name!" Wang Dengku from behind sneered, "At worst, we'll have to start over from scratch, what are we afraid of!"
"Why start all over again? We no longer have a foothold in the pass!" Tian Shenglan asked in anger after hearing this.
When Fan Pingfu heard this, he smoothed things over and said, "Okay, okay, as long as the people are here. When you get to Liaodong, the master will definitely give you a good job, and you may not know how glorious it will be again in the future!"
When they heard him speak, they were all people who wanted to seek refuge in Liaodong. Naturally, they did not dare to refute and offend him, so they all fell silent.
At this time, a man came down from the top of the mountain and said to the leader, "Sir, many of the cavalry troops chased out of the pass by the imperial officers and soldiers have returned. I have counted them all!"
"Okay, let's set off!" After hearing this, Fan Yongdou waved to the people behind him and said.
