Chapter 336 Creating a Newspaper
"Fourth brother, why do you have the time to come to third brother today? Have you finished your homework in the study?"

Hongshi looked at the fourth elder brother Hongli who looked calm and relaxed, and felt a little angry in his heart. If it wasn't for him, how could he be forced into such a situation today?Even the position of prince is completely hopeless with him.

The mentality of envy and jealousy intertwined has already constituted the pain in Hongshi's heart. He even thought about sending someone to assassinate Hongli. At that time, Hongshi would undoubtedly be the choice of the prince. During the day, there was no threat to him at all.

Compared with Hongshi who was gnashing his teeth, Hongli smiled indifferently: "Third Brother Lao is concerned, and the homework in the study is naturally done. It's just that today Mr. taught a section called filial piety. I don't understand, I hope the third brother can teach you a little more."

Prescribing the word "filial piety" in front of Hongshi is like scolding a bald donkey in front of the monk. Hongli smiled on the surface, but when he spoke, he pointed directly at Hongshi like a pair of small knives. Poke in the heart.

"Hmph, third brother naturally knows how to practice filial piety and brotherhood. As for you, fourth brother, you should worry about your own family affairs." While talking, Hongshi no longer ignored Hongli who was on the sidelines, and turned his head and walked back However, I feel a little bit more regretful in my heart. It seems that what happened today will be known to Huang Ama, which is really a big mistake.

After Hongshi was forced to leave, Hongli's face became a little more worried. Although he was young, he was intelligent by nature, and even Emperor Kangxi was very appreciative, so he was more concerned about the situation that Emperor Yongzheng was facing now. A somewhat clear cognition, saying a bad word, is quite like the end of the dynasty.

It’s meaningless to just understand these things. Hongli, who is still young, has no way to intervene in the important affairs of the state, let alone come up with better solutions. Learn something and find a way to deal with Chu Ni.

It's just that no matter how smart Hongli is, he only learns some Confucian classics. These mysterious things are bad for his brain if he learns too much. It is even more difficult to find a way to save the nation and survive.

However, Hongli's behavior was not completely useless, but it strengthened Yongzheng's idea, that is, to establish Hongli as his son.

Especially after hematemesis this time, Yongzheng has a little understanding of his physical condition, which is definitely not a sign of longevity. Therefore, the foundation must be laid as soon as possible to prevent accidents.

In order to establish a heir, Yongzheng specially summoned all the flag owners of the Qing Dynasty, princes, ministers and others, in order to discuss the current top-level affairs of the Qing court.

Speaking of it, in any feudal dynasty, the relevant system for heirs is always the most important, because it is related to the future of an empire, and for the ministers who have just experienced the battle of the Kangxi Nine Dragons, this is even more important. It was like a bloody fight.

Before and after Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, there were already several princes who fell on the road to seize the throne, not to mention the ministers who were attached to them, they were like servants and servants. Elder brother, eighth elder brother, ninth elder brother, tenth elder brother, and the old fourteenth brother, these people and their henchmen have all become victims of the fight for the heir apparent, and many more people have disappeared in this battle.

Now that things are going on, Yongzheng wants to change this situation. At least in today's Qing Dynasty, it is impossible to experience such a turmoil again, otherwise the world will be gone.

"During the examination of the first emperor, you should all bear in mind the lessons of the struggle for the succession. Now that I have inherited the great lineage, naturally I can no longer use the position of succession as the source of struggle for the princes. The relevant system must naturally be established."

When Yongzheng said these words, he also looked around at the princes and ministers, and saw that most of the Manchu and Mongolian relatives did not take it seriously, while the Hanchens seemed quite excited.

"Slaves, ministers, etc. will follow the emperor's will, and ask the emperor to express it."

No matter what the big guys think in their hearts, it is true that this should be changed on the bright side. After all, the shadow of seizing the throne in the past also made them feel exhausted. In fact, the struggle for the throne during the Kangxi period had almost unprecedented impact on the country. The rift created in the court has continued to this day, and the big guys can't stand it anymore.

Of course, there are reasons for this. After all, before the Manchus entered the customs, they were born as barbarians. Influenced by the old customs of Manchuria, the independent heirs in the early years did not follow the so-called "concubine" concept, especially the rulers of the first three generations of the Qing Dynasty. To clarify the position of the prince, it is usually the act of establishing love and establishing the young, such as Huang Taiji and Shunzhi.

However, during the Kangxi period, Emperor Kangxi still hoped to improve, so he followed the example of the traditional eldest son inheritance system of the Han Dynasty. In the 14th year of Kangxi, the eldest son Yinfeng was appointed as the crown prince. The problem is that Emperor Kangxi is in good health and can succeed to the throne. It was too early, so that he had been the emperor for decades, and in this process, there were naturally many open and dark arrows against Yinreng. Under the covetousness of many brothers, Yinreng experienced two conflicts , After all, he couldn't get his hands on the throne.

Therefore, in the eyes of the relatives of the Eight Banners, the so-called system of eldest sons is a joke. Hearing that Yongzheng's words have some intentions to restore the old system, he is not so cold, and the Hanchens hope that the system can follow the traditional Confucianism Therefore, I hope that Yongzheng can implement the eldest son inheritance system.

But how could Yongzheng, who had experienced the battle for the heir apparent, be superstitious about the so-called eldest son inheritance system?Not to mention the virtues of his eldest son Hongshi in name, Yongzheng knew very clearly in his heart, in fact, he had already made plans.

"I think that the emperor's examination of the establishment of a heir is to establish a virtuous person, and its essence is to let my country of the Qing Dynasty be inherited by a virtuous king, rather than being stolen by such villains. The generation of Prince Lian who came out of the bitch has no chance of getting involved in the country."

There was a sneer on Yongzheng's face, no matter what time he would attack Prince Lian as a major political event, and the sentence that Kangxi despised as a bitch of Xin Zheku was often brought up.

"I think that the system of the eldest son is not desirable, but Lixian should not be the same as the past, otherwise it will sooner or later become a weapon in the internal party struggle. This is definitely not my original intention. Therefore, the establishment of the son needs to be re-planned."

While Yongzheng was saying these words, the princes and ministers below felt a chill. The emperor was too straightforward, and it was hard to accept the straightforwardness.

"Slaves and ministers dare not."

Seeing that the princes and ministers did not dare to object, Yongzheng said proudly: "I have been thinking about this matter for a long time, and I have read many things about other countries. In Persia, there was a system called secret storage system. When the king of Persia first succeeds to the throne, he secretly selects the one who is worthy of succession among the sons, writes his name, seals it and hides it. After the death of the king, the ministers and the prince jointly issue the seal and treat it, so that it can be ensured The inheritance of Jiangshan is stable."

After listening to Yongzheng's prescription from Persia, the princes and ministers were a little silent. Most of them are not stupid. Of course they understand the power of this system, but they are surprised and sighed in their hearts.

Strictly speaking, the struggle for the crown prince is often the key point of the confrontation between the monarchy and the prime minister. Throughout history, there have been countless political turmoil due to succession disputes. There have been almost all dynasties. The thoughts of the ministers are very simple, since they cannot be changed. The current emperor, then change the next emperor, as long as you insist on brainwashing the emperor, one day the imperial power will be played by them in the applause, this is why even if Zhu Yuanzhang canceled the prime minister system, it is inevitable that the imperial power of his descendants will be greatly reduced Compressed facts.

But Yongzheng has found another way at the moment, aren't you going to play tricks around the prince?That's fine, I can establish a prince, but none of you can know!
On this point, Yongzheng has fully learned the lessons of Kangxi. After all, in the original system of public reserve establishment, almost anyone who was the prince became the target of attack. The relationship has also become the relationship between the prince and the emperor, which is also a threat to the emperor.

Therefore, when Yongzheng adopted the method of secretly establishing a reserve, the establishment of a heir became the emperor's right, so that all princes could see hope, but there was no clear competition goal, which could avoid brotherly rivalry to a certain extent , It can also avoid the power group centered on the prince, and even if the ministers can guess some, it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor will not modify it. In this way, the authority of the monarch is above the officials.

The princes and ministers fell into a dead silence. Even if the Han officials wanted to object, they could not find any good reasons to object. After all, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty followed the old system of Manchuria, and your Han family customs cannot be imposed on you. Your Majesty, in this way, even if the Hanchens want to speak up, they have no other choice.

"The slave thinks that the emperor's strategy is really wonderful, and he can reap all the merits."

"I believe that building a reserve secretly is a good strategy to stabilize the world!"

Without the opposition, the rest will naturally be those flattering words, but everyone praises Yongzheng like nothing in the sky, and even more praises this secret reserve system.

"My fellow ministers, I have already drafted the imperial edict, and now it is hidden behind this upright plaque. If one day I leave, you can open the edict and support a new king to succeed me! After this , no one is allowed to speak to me about the crown prince, and anyone who violates the order will be severely punished!"

"嗻"

The new secret reserve system was passed just like that, but everyone knew in their hearts that the answer to the mystery was no longer a mystery at all, but two obvious words-Hongli.As for the rest of Hongshi and Hongzhou, it is almost difficult to pose a threat to Hongli.

At the same time, Hongshi's dissatisfaction with Yongzheng was getting deeper and deeper. He began to contact people in the Baye Party repeatedly, and even took the risk to meet Yunyu who was still studying behind closed doors. Escaped Yongzheng's eyes.

It's just that Yongzheng at this time is more forbearing than before. He almost used a gesture of looking at a clown, watching his own son jumping up and down, but his heart gradually became murderous. It's just that this thought is for the future. Political turmoil laid the groundwork.

Compared with the fury of the Qing court, Zhu Yigui, who fled to Taiwan in embarrassment at this time, was almost going crazy. He rushed from Taiwan to Quanzhou less than a month before he was driven overboard by a wave of raids by the Fuhan army. The elite troops around him were also dispersed, and they even fell seriously ill after returning to Taiwan.

Although Zhu Yigui hated the Fuhan army in his heart, he no longer trusted Huang Dian who was going to negotiate. There was a complete rift between him and the old brothers back then.

But at this moment, Huang Dian sent a letter to Zhu Yigui, claiming that he had reached an agreement with Ning Chu, and that he had signed with Ning Chu on behalf of the Ming army. But he had murderous intentions towards Huang Dian, but he was not stupid, so he also pretended to write a letter to Huang Dian. Things still need to be dealt with.

Following Ning Yu's meeting this time, there were more or less internal disputes between the several parties. While Ning Yu watched the show, he did not forget his own family affairs, and it was a very important matter—— Run a newspaper.

Speaking of which, an artifact like a newspaper is really a good thing for the emperor!
For the emperor, the most intolerable thing is the collusion of the people below, which leads to the deception of the emperor's eyes and ears. Therefore, most emperors will have a spy force in their hands, so as to ensure that the emperor has a more real understanding of the situation below, such as This is the case for Factory Guard, and the same is true for Jiangnan Sanzhi Textile Co., Ltd.

In fact, among the current responsibilities of the shadow, there are also tasks such as monitoring economic activities and prices in various places, but in Ning Yu's expectation, if there are newspapers as a supplement, it can also play a part of the role.

In addition, another important task of the newspaper is supervision. Although Ning Yu has restructured the Metropolitan Procuratorate and is independent from the Executive Yuan, after having a newspaper, it can also play a certain role in auxiliary supervision.

Finally, newspapers have one of the most important responsibilities, which is the function of conveying information.In fact, since the Han Dynasty, the imperial court at that time had already started to create newspapers, but the newspapers at that time were quite different from the newspapers of later generations. Official documents such as decrees issued by the imperial court.

Of course, there is also a mansion newspaper in Dachu today, but what Ning Yu wants is not just the mansion newspaper that is circulated among the ministers, but a newspaper that can be read by the public, at least most readers.

It’s just that for Ning Yu, there are no so-called talents in the news industry right now, and the superficial knowledge he has is not enough to support a newspaper. Therefore, the first thing he needs to do before creating a newspaper is to recruit talents.

Although there are not many talents in Great Chu at present, there are at least three people for Ning Yu to choose from.
