Chapter 124 Movable Type Printing (Addition)

In the royal garden,

Zhao Xu gritted his teeth and ran several laps, until he couldn't hold on any longer, and then stopped panting.

Above the court, the Empress Dowager Gao ignored his feelings, and the arbitrarily punishing rape and eradicating evil that he was proud of existed in name only. If Fan Zheng hadn't stepped forward, he would have become a laughing stock.

Seeing Zhao Xu venting out the depression in his heart, Fan Zheng stepped forward and handed the towel.

"When will I be able to govern myself?" Zhao Xu gritted his teeth and whispered,

It is now the eighth year of Yuanyou, he is 17 years old, and he is eighteen years old. The concubines in the harem are happy. According to the regulations, the empress dowager should return to power, and even though the empress dowager Gao has let King Yong leave the capital, she still has no plan to return to power. The court ministers also pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Fan Zheng sighed and persuaded, "Don't be in a hurry, the officials will discuss this matter in the long run."

Zhao Xu frowned, and said bitterly: "In the long run, you also said that power is the greatest poison in the world. If I don't fight, I'm afraid I have to follow the path of Renzong, and wait another seven years! Fan Aiqing, I want you to help me."

Fan Zheng and Zhao Xu looked at each other, nodded and said: "In the imperial palace, the official house has almost been arranged. The Queen Mother Xiang and Empress Meng are both on the official house's side. The current situation is dominant, and the most important thing now is the official house. Above the hall, the most critical thing is the attitude of the three prime ministers."

Zhao Xuning nodded emphatically and said, "I wonder if Fan Aiqing can persuade Fan Xianggong?"

Fan Chunren is the current prime minister, if Fan Zheng can persuade his second uncle to support Fan Zheng's pro-government, it will naturally greatly increase his bargaining chips for pro-government.

Fan Zheng smiled wryly and said: "Second Uncle is already an extremely human minister, and there is nothing in the world that can impress him. Besides, he is stubborn, forcing the empress dowager to return to power, which is against the way of a monarch and minister. He will definitely not agree. He is also a gentleman, so he is most likely to be neutral."

Zhao Xu's face darkened immediately, but he was not surprised. After all, with Fan Zheng and the reputation of the Fan family, at least Fan Chunren would not object to him being in charge.

"As for Lu Xianggong, the officials can promise benefits!" Fan Zheng said in his heart.

"Xu Zhi Yu Li!" Zhao Xu's heart moved, Lu Dafang had already reached the position of left minister, and there was only one position that could impress him, and that was the position of the current prime minister, but the current prime minister was Fan Chunren.

Fan Zheng said frankly about this: "The second uncle is the prime minister of the Empress Dowager who listens to the government behind the curtain. Once the emperor and the courtiers, naturally..."

This wasn't because Fan Zheng sold his uncle to seek honor. During the period when the Empress Dowager was in power, the chancellors were changed at random, almost once a year. Even if there was no such thing, the time for Fan Chunren's position as chancellor had already come.

Zhao Xu solemnly promised: "Fan Xianggong has helped me a lot, even if he is not in charge, I will still not treat him badly."

"Although Su Xianggong has always been neutral, he has a fatal flaw, that is, his brother, University scholar Su. If the officials can make University scholar Su make mistakes, they will certainly be able to pull Su Xianggong into the water." Fan Zheng thought, thinking The Achilles heel of Su Zhe who saved his brother from the devil.

"Let Senior Madam Su make a mistake?" Zhao Xu frowned.

Fan Zheng waved his hand and said, "It's not that simple. As long as Master Su has his mouth, he can offend everyone. The officials still remember the case of forensic doctor Su Dun rehabilitating Bi Sheng."

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Of course!"

"Bi Sheng's greatest invention is movable type printing, which can greatly speed up printing and make printing extremely convenient. The Ministry of Rites is responsible for publishing the Chaotang Dibao. Today, engraving is still used. If movable type printing is used, it will definitely be greatly accelerated. The mansion newspaper is issued." Fan Zheng said.

"This method is feasible! But this is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, so how can Master Su make mistakes?" Zhao Xu was puzzled.

"The reason why the amnesty for the world this time has become an evil government is because the court does not understand the people. If the government allows the Ministry of Rites to collect the world's current affairs journals and publish them in the Dibao while passing on the Dibao, and the Soochow University scholars are eager to publicize it. If he is righteous and loves to fight against injustice, he will definitely criticize the current situation of the court and anger the empress dowager, and then the official will have an opportunity." Fan Zheng said confidently.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, Master Su's character is indeed cynical, he has written many times to criticize the current situation of the court, if he is given the opportunity to express his opinions in front of the world, he will definitely not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"This method can also allow officials to understand the world's major events without leaving the palace, and it can also allow the whole court to see the status quo of poverty and weakness in the Great Song Dynasty. It will definitely win more officials to support the official government and the reform plan. powerful."

Fan Zheng secretly said in his heart: Uncle Su, it's not that my nephew is plotting against you, but that you are really not suitable for intrigues in court, and being in charge of the mouthpiece of the world is the best way for you to be a Su University scholar.

Zhao Xu was immediately overwhelmed, a small mansion report has such a magical effect.

"As for the powerful force outside the court, don't the officials ignore it?" Fan Zheng reminded.

Zhao Xu was puzzled and said, "Is there still a power?"

"New Party!" Fan Zheng said solemnly.

Zhao Xu suddenly became serious. Once upon a time, according to his vision, after taking office, he restarted the new law and reused the new party. Until he met Fan Zheng, he almost forgot the huge power of the new party.

Although the new party is now dormant, it still has a huge influence in the court and among the people.

"After the government is in charge, if they want to neutralize the government, they will naturally reuse the new party. How can the new party sit back and enjoy the success without contributing." Fan Zheng said with a frown.

Zhao Xu nodded approvingly.

Chaotang the next day.

Once again the harmonious atmosphere of the past was restored, and the first confrontation between Empress Dowager Gao and the officials seemed to have never happened.

After dealing with the court affairs, Zhao Xu suddenly said: "Su Aiqing, I heard that the court newspaper is still using woodblock printing?"

Su Shi replied truthfully: "Report to the officials, there is indeed such a thing!"

Zhao Xu laughed and said, "Su Aiqing is not as good as your son. Judge Su once played for me to avenge Bi Sheng's grievances. Only then did I know that movable type printing is hundreds of times faster than woodblock printing. If you can use movable type Wouldn’t it be a good idea to print one copy of the residence newspaper a day, so that the officials of the world can get orders from the court as soon as possible, wouldn’t it be a good strategy.”

Today’s newspapers are rigid and cumbersome. Usually, one newspaper is issued every ten days, and the layout is limited. If it is changed to movable type printing, not only can the speed be greatly increased, but the content of the newspaper can also be increased.

"However, ever since Bi Sheng damaged Renzong's "Book of Nations", the imperial court has long ordered that movable type printing should no longer be used." Su Shi frowned.

Zhao Xu had already prepared, and said loudly: "That's because Bi Sheng's wooden movable type has been stored for a long time, resulting in deformation. Nowadays, most of the people have used clay movable type to print, and this phenomenon has been eliminated. The imperial court still uses woodblock printing. I am afraid it has already fallen behind. .”

"The officials are wise!" Su Shi nodded.

"Besides, I and the Empress Dowager live in high court and don't know the affairs of the people. It is a precedent that amnesty for the world is a good government but it becomes an evil government. Su Aiqing can also print the world's major events and the people's sufferings when printing the mansion newspaper. On top of the residence newspaper, the news from the government and the opposition can be exchanged, and the government orders can be smooth, so that the world can be ruled."

"The officials are sages!" All the ministers congratulated.

I didn't realize how great the impact of the new style of mansion newspaper would be.

Empress Dowager Gao instinctively felt that something was wrong, but there was no news from the government and the public, and the example of amnesty leading to a bad government was right in front of her eyes, so she couldn't directly object.

"The minister will definitely live up to the grace!"

Su Shi was even more shocked, gearing up, ready to do a big job, completely unaware that this was a trap aimed at him.
