Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 1028 Mengdu

The sun is very good today, the peonies are in full bloom, and the flowers are blooming and swaying in the sunshine. The peach blossoms have also bloomed, picking out a touch of red in the corner.

Wang Xiaolie took a copy of "The Love of the World" and sat in the garden to read it slowly.

After these days of practice, the articles in "Shiqing" become more beautiful. Slowly turning the pages of the book, Wang Xiaolie read with gusto.

Suddenly, Wang Xiaolie saw an article and his expression changed drastically.

This article is called "Jin Ge", and it tells the story of Mengdu, who was the first to be awarded the honor of protecting the army. The problem is that the story uses real names of people and places, and even Mengdu’s place of origin is the same. Although the story was well written, it ran counter to Wang Xiaolie's requirements. Moreover, after Wang Xiaolie looked at it, he found that there were several inconsistencies with the facts.

Putting down "The Love of the World", Wang Xiaolie closed his eyes and meditated.

Honestly, this story is really well written. He worked in the county town from Mengdu, feeling depressed and frustrated. After Wang Xiaolie captured Huazhou, he resolutely joined the army. After joining the army, he became a real warrior through the guidance of instructors and the help of soldiers.

However, none of this is true.

The life trajectory of martyrs is the mark they leave on this world and cannot be changed. During their lifetime, martyrs were living people with their views on society and their reactions to society. Rather than an imagined, stereotyped image.

After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Xiao ordered his soldiers to call Chen Yuyi to have a serious talk with him.

Not much time passed before Chen Yuyi came to the garden and saluted Wang Xiaolie.

Wang Xiaolie pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Sit down. I came to see you today to chat about something other than gossip."

Chen Yuyi sat down and Wang Xiaolie ordered tea to be served.

After pouring tea for Chen Yuyi, Wang Xiaolian said: "Today I read "The Love of the World" and there was an article about Mengdu called "Jin Ge"."

After saying that, Wang Xiaolie put "The Love of the World" on the table.

Chen Yuyi said: "I have also read this article. The writing style is quite sophisticated, but in just over 10,000 words, a vivid image of a hero was written."

Wang Xiaolie said: "But this heroic image is not real. I am not sure how much of the whole story is fake. I know that several parts are fake."

Chen Yuyi said: "However, life in Mengdu is too boring, so it can only be adapted on a large scale. When submitting the manuscript, the author was still hesitant whether to use Mengdu's name and place of origin. I told him to use Mengdu's name. We Can't we make the hero's story too boring and add some irrelevant content to make it more interesting?"

Wang Xiaolie looked into Chen Yuyi's eyes. After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "I made it very clear that the content of "Worldly Love" is not allowed to use your real name. Have you lost track of things, or are you forgetful? This is about power. No power is allowed to cross the boundary!" Chen Yuyi was stunned, seeing that Wang Xiaolie's expression was serious and there was no joking, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Wang Xiaolie said: ""Legends" and "Shiqing" are just officials who have been among the people for a long time. They have collected too many stories and published them to make people laugh. Instead of letting people read these magazines and learn some principles from them. , what attitude to life should be learned. Which one of the following does "Jin Ge" meet? If the author wants to write fictional heroes, he can write them himself. Why should he use the names of martyrs? When readers see the names of martyrs, they also see such a story, What do you think?"

Chen Yuyi lowered his head and said, "I was wrong."

Wang Xiaolie said: "I don't know why you are wrong. Where is Cai Feng Yuan? It reflects the public sentiment. Your only achievement is to reflect the public sentiment in a timely or inaccurate manner. It is not that the magazine you edited was sold. How much depends on whether readers like it or not. There are limits to power, and those who serve as officials must understand the limits of their power. How can you be a good official if you are confused?"

"The boundaries I give you should be clear. Understand the public's views on governance and report it truthfully. You have your own reporting channels. In addition to official documents, there is also a magazine "People's Situation". Any fabricated stories are not allowed and are prohibited. Yes, because these fabricated stories will affect officials’ views of the people. You are a mirror, and what should be seen from you is the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy of the people, not yours."

After a pause, Wang Xiaolie added: "Of course, I'm talking about working. What hobbies you have in private depends on you."

Chen Yuyi crossed his hands and kept rubbing them, saying nothing.

Wang Xiaolie said: "In addition, how can the story of the martyrs be allowed to be written by scholars for nothing? Martyrs are also human beings, and they have their own emotions and views on society. That is their freedom. Yes. Write whatever you want, don't make up random things. If the scholars write convincingly, no one will care about the real martyrs. This is a great disrespect to the martyrs! The government must ensure that it is truthful, not exaggerated, and not spread rumors. "

Chen Yuyi said: "I understand. I will correct it in the next issue."

Wang Xiaolie said: "No, a correction must be published in every issue for the rest of this year. In addition, this is a mistake you made when checking the magazine. Don't embarrass the person who wrote it. Even the editing fee is not enough." Take care of it."

Chen Yuyi said: "I understand."

Wang Xiaolie said: "After you go back, think carefully about where you went wrong. Only by knowing where you went wrong can you correct it. In addition, send one to three officials to Mengdu's hometown to Take a look at how their families live. Write all this out and publish it in the magazine "Shiqing". Use Mengdu's name and the names of his family so that people can see the real martyrs."

Chen Yuyi said: "I understand. I will go and do it now. In short, the works produced by Caifeng Yuan are either facts or do not use real names. I understand. Xuanfu means that Caifeng Yuan should record the true history. Others It’s all outside of work.”

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Yes. Remember that you are the mirror of the government. Through this mirror, the joys, sorrows and joys of the people are reflected. When a policy is implemented, whether the people agree or oppose, are happy or sad, depends on Reflect their true appearance. Through your mirror, the government knows whether the policy is appropriate and whether it should be implemented. Through your mirror, the government knows what the people are really like."

Chen Yuyi said: "I probably know what Xuanfu means. Next, I will change Caifengyuan to what Xuanfu wants."

Wang Xuanlie nodded. Said: "It's good that you know what I mean. Cai Feng Yuan was something that no previous dynasty had. You must run it well."
