Great Tang princess

Chapter 141 The Power of the Newspaper Appears
Of course, this was a joke, and she knew that it was impossible to be truly "Taiping" just because it was called "Taiping".

But she started developing at the age of nine, she really didn't expect it, and, since this has started, does that also...

Thinking of this, I couldn't help shivering all over.

I heard before that girls can't do strenuous exercise when they come here, so it won't affect me, right?

And to be honest, shouldn't I also make underwear or a sports vest like the girls in the gym?
But the problem is that the materials of this era may not be able to keep up, and many girls abroad don't seem to wear them.

After looking down, Li Yuechen shook his head, forget it, anyway, it's just started now, don't worry, at worst, wrap it with gauze a few times and forget it.

While thinking, he began to dress helplessly.

When they came to the main hall, the two sisters and Shangguan Wan'er had just arrived, and the maid in charge of the morning shift had already spread the mats that the three of them needed on the floor.

According to the usual practice, I took them to practice yoga together. After the practice, the sun was about to come out.

After eating a few mouthfuls of breakfast, Li Yuechen asked Fulai to bring his rattan armor and weapons, got up and went to the guardhouse.

Fulai, who was following behind, looked at Li Yuechen's back as he walked forward, and couldn't help thinking, His Highness is growing so fast.

Nine-year-old Li Yuechen was a lot taller than before, about 1.5 meters tall, nearly a head taller than ten-year-old Shangguan Wan'er.

And because he practiced yoga and martial arts since he was a child, he has an extremely standard and well-proportioned figure, a typical clothes rack.

The high ponytail should be able to hang down to her waist after a long time, and it swayed rhythmically from left to right as she walked.

Arriving at the prison guard's office, Geng Yunqiang was already waiting at the door to greet him.

After saluting, he brought Li Yuechen to the training ground, put on the rattan armor, and started today's actual combat training as usual.

During the training process of the two, other soldiers around would sneak a few glances here from time to time.

The main reason is that this scene is really inconsistent. An eight or nine-year-old girl can fight back and forth with the famous single-handed king among the guards. Even if this scene is not the first time I have seen it, it still feels like a dream. of.

And it is said that the princess actually won the last time the two of them wrestled their arms!It's outrageous!

The two of them did actual combat training and fought intermittently for more than an hour before stopping.

Li Yuechen opened his arms and asked Fulai to help take off the rattan armor, took the towel and wiped the glistening sweat from his forehead: "Let's stop here today, I'll come back next time."

"Yes!" Geng Yunqiang agreed, "His Royal Highness is making rapid progress, and the general may not be able to catch up soon."

These words are not entirely flattery, Li Yuechen can also feel that the time Geng Yunqiang can hold on in his hands is getting shorter and shorter.

No, to be precise, his physical strength is still growing, but he has already taken shape.

After thinking about it, Li Yuechen said: "Well, it seems that we need to call more people in the future."

After all, Geng Yunqiang in front of him is already the most capable of fighting among the prison guards. If he is not enough, then he can only make up with the number of people.

Li Yuechen felt that after a while, he should be able to try one-on-two.

……

After returning to Anfu Hall, Li Yuechen went to take a bath as usual, lying in the bathtub and exhaling a long breath.

Then he looked down, fortunately, although he has developed, at least for now, there is nothing that makes him feel uncomfortable.

Besides feeling a little sore...

Looking at Xiao He who was helping her scrub, Li Yuechen asked a few questions by the way, and she said it was normal.

If so, then there is nothing to worry about.

Li Yuechen waded into the water a little more, and let out a long breath.

After taking a shower, Li Yuechen ran to Renshou Hall to greet his parents, and chatted with them for a while.

Recently, my father is in a good mood. Almost whenever he is free, he burns incense and plays the piano, and creates music.

Li Yuechen served him tea and water by his side, and learned along the way to cultivate his cells in music.

If Li Zhi asked what was going on, she would call 666 beside her. Anyway, no money was needed, and it was always right to call a few more words.

Li Zhi, who was praised as being in a good mood, began to teach her to play the piano, and Li Yuechen didn't mind trying, so he leaned in his father's arms and started to learn.

……

The comfortable days passed quickly, and it was April in a blink of an eye.

It is worth mentioning that another solar eclipse occurred on the first day of March this year.Before the ministers had time to speak, Li Zhi said that someone was messing up the court and beat up several officials.

Seeing this situation, the ministers did not dare to continue to persuade the emperor to issue an imperial edict.

Li Zhi, who had tasted the sweetness, began to look forward to the next solar eclipse.

And all the things that happened during this period were announced to the world through newspapers, and the common people clapped their hands and cheered.

In the teahouse and wine shop, many people shouted loudly that when the emperor is wise and wise, there is such a hero in the world, it is really God bless the Tang Dynasty, etc...

The power of the newspaper finally began to truly show. Many of the emperor's policies can be known to the outside world. In addition, Princess Taiping increased grain production, etc., which made Li Zhi, the emperor's prestige among the people repeatedly increased.

The result is that the imperial power began to be highly concentrated. After all, the people's will is unstoppable!

Recently, no matter what Li Zhi did, he held his head high and his chest high, and he was in an unprecedentedly good mood, even comparable to the time when he just ascended the throne and was about to show off his ambitions.

On the other side, Li Yuechen, who was in a good mood because of his father, finally started the next step.

In Jixianfang, Li Yuechen stood in the courtyard, and facing her stood dozens of middle-aged people whose hair had begun to turn gray.

In this era, ordinary people age faster. Each of these people is only in their early 40s, but their hair has already turned gray.

"Your Highness, everything is here." Fulai said.

"En." Li Yuechen nodded.

These people are government soldiers who are about to retire, and they have more or less hidden wounds on their bodies, and even one of them is completely blind in the left eye.

Seeing that they were all a bit cautious, Li Yuechen smiled: "Don't be afraid, you are all people who have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty and are also people who are respected by this palace! I called you here today, just to ask. something to do?"

The veterans on the opposite side shook their heads and replied that there was nothing else to do except farming.

Li Yuechen nodded: "I have a job here. You are still in the military. After you go back, you will set up Datang Daily branches in your hometown. I will pay you to recruit people..."

After roughly explaining, these veterans also understood.

To put it bluntly, Li Yuechen paid for them to recruit people to come to the capital to learn printing techniques after they built newspaper offices in their hometowns. At the same time, they sent people to send local news every half a month. Really local distribution.

Moreover, they are still in the military, so local officials can't do things for them at will, so they can maintain their freedom to the maximum extent.

"To put it simply, you don't have to obey anyone's orders except this palace and the emperor!" Li Yuechen said.

Hearing these words, all the veterans looked in disbelief.

You don't need to go to the battlefield, you just need to get the job of the newspaper done, and you don't have to worry about being bullied by the landlord... How can there be such a good thing?
Of course, this matter was approved by Li Zhi. Now that he fully understands the power of the newspaper, he will naturally spare no effort to promote it, leaving his daughter to fiddle with it and giving him the greatest authority.

These veterans nodded one after another to express their willingness. It is a great honor to be able to work for the Emperor...

Li Yuechen nodded, and immediately let Fulai start to handle it.

……

This matter was not kept low-key at all, and many people soon received the news.

All the aristocratic families who received the news were shocked. If this continues, these newspaper offices across the country can form a huge intelligence network!
It can be said that once this matter is done, there will be nothing in this world that can hide from the emperor in the future.

The most important thing is that the emperor's policies can be clearly known to the people through newspapers, so that it is difficult for officials to play tricks on them.

If something went wrong during the implementation of the policy, the people would no longer resent the emperor, but the local officials who did not do a good job.

After all, they already knew the emperor's original intention through the newspaper, and if something went wrong, it must be the problem of the officials in charge of execution!
If this continues, the control of the imperial power will become stronger and stronger, and the voice of these aristocratic families will be further compressed!
But now the general trend of this matter has become unstoppable.

The only thing that can be said is to find a way to bribe those people.

This point, Li Yuechen, who is not good at playing tricks, didn't think of it immediately, but his mother thought of it.

So under Wu Zetian's reminder, Li Yuechen began to conduct surprise cultural training for these recruited veterans.

In Jixianfang, the veterans sat in a semicircle, and Li Yuechen stood in the middle to give a speech.

"After you go back, the local landlords will definitely buy you off. They can give you a lot of benefits. I really can't give these benefits at the moment. But think about it, how did they treat you before? It's just helpless to give you benefits now. This move, if they have the opportunity in the future, they will turn their faces and deny anyone!"

"Although I can't give you too many benefits now, but standing here, I represent the emperor and queen! I can promise you that if things are done well, you can let your children come to the capital to study in the future. If you learn If you achieve something, one day you will be able to pass the imperial examination and enter the imperial court, you will be an extremely human minister!"

"Think about it carefully, should you be loyal to Datang, or do wrong things for that insignificant benefit? You are all soldiers, and you have fought and shouted for Datang! You have killed the enemy and shed blood! Being loyal to the Tang Dynasty, defending the family and the country should be the honor engraved in the bones of soldiers..."

In fact, Li Yuechen's speech level can only be said to be average, and it is incomparable to the master-level speech level of Mustache.

But fortunately, people in this era have not been bombarded by chicken soup, and they agree with Li Yuechen's words quite a bit.

So they saluted one after another, solemnly expressing that they would be loyal to the emperor!

Li Yuechen didn't know how much effect his words would have on them when they faced those temptations.

After all, such things as national honor cannot be cultivated in a day or two.

But at least, as long as someone can grasp the bottom line, when the various systems are perfected in the future, this kind of thing should be avoided to the greatest extent.

……

In the Hall of Renshou, Li Zhi and his wife were naturally very clear about their daughter's operation.

Wu Zetian laughed and said, "I don't know how much effect Chen'er's words will have."

In her opinion, it is useless to just talk, and it is necessary to show the means, and the best way is to act both hard and soft.

Li Zhi nodded: "But the method is a good one. Let the children of these people study and study. If they can enter the court and become officials in the future..."

Having said that, he couldn't help but shook his head, admiring his daughter's idea.

If these people can succeed in their studies and become officials in the future, they will be officials of the royal family, not officials of the aristocratic family.

After a long time in the future, all officials will become like this, and the imperial power will no longer be restricted.

"With such a long-term vision, you really are the talent of an emperor!" Li Zhi smiled and shook his head, "It's a pity!"

Especially against the backdrop of such an excellent daughter, those sons seemed more and more unsightly.

To be honest, in Li Zhi's opinion, the eldest son Li Hong is good everywhere, but he is too honest, and he is really not the material to be an emperor.

Although the second child is talented, he is too casual and playful.The third child is the type who is easily incited.

As for the fourth son, Li Lun, it's hard to say that he hasn't grown up yet, but he seems to be a timid one.

If you have more children, you are afraid of comparisons. This comparison makes this daughter look even better.

Wu Zetian next to him also nodded: "Yes, it's a pity."

Li Zhi raised his head suddenly: "Meiniang, tell me, how about letting Chen'er be the crown prince? The problem for future generations is that you will never marry for the rest of your life. When the time comes, let Hong's son adopt one of his heirs. You don't have to worry about this country..."

But Wu Zetian shook his head suddenly: "I know what a childish slave thinks, but Chen'er is not suitable. It's not just a daughter's problem."

"What else?" Li Zhi asked.

"She's too soft-hearted, and she doesn't have the temperament to lift a knife!" Wu Zetian replied, "The matter of He Lanminzhi back then, in order to prevent those prison guards from being punished, she was able to hide it... To be an emperor, you can't just be merciful." , you have to be ruthless!"

Hearing these words, Li Zhi nodded, it was indeed the same reason.

Since ancient times, which emperor did not kill people?Which emperor didn't have a ghost who died unjustly?

It's better to say that most of the time, you know that you have been wronged, but you still have to kill if you should kill!Because if you don't kill, the imperial power will be unstable!
But at the same time, Wu Zetian also knows his daughter very well, knowing that she is not the kind of character who can be ruthless and kill indiscriminately.

Hearing her words, Li Zhi nodded: "Let's look at this matter again. Chen'er is born different from ordinary people, maybe she is right to do so."

"The young slave is a little blind to her now!" Wu Zetian laughed beside her.

"It's okay, she can do whatever she wants!" Li Zhi grinned, and gently held his wife's hand, "At least now, no matter what, I can take care of her!"
