I'm not a genius in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 383
That day, Wang Zi'an didn't go back to Gaolaozhuang, nor did he go out for a stroll, but walked around the mansion with Yang Caier, listening to Yang Caier tell stories about her childhood.

Only then did Wang Zi'an realize that this seemingly heartless and cute girl has so many bleak pasts.He didn't speak, but the hand he held was a little firmer.At some point, the two of them were already sitting together, Yang Cai'er rested her head on Wang Zi'an's shoulder, looking at the afterglow of the setting sun and the faint light and shadow in the courtyard, she felt that the years were quiet and peaceful, and her heart was at ease.

The night in Chang'an came again irresistibly, covering all the happiness, sorrow, beauty and ugliness in the darkness.Then use the leisurely bell on the Chengtian Gate to wake it up from its deep sleep.

Thousands of doors and households were opened one by one, hundreds of officials went to the court, and the people took to the streets. It seemed that there was nothing different from yesterday, but for some reason, many people felt a little nervous, a little expectant, and a little determined to break the boat.

Many people stared at the streets and alleys, and everyone was curious whether the "Datang Evening News", which is called a newspaper, would appear in people's sight again.At this time, the early dynasty of the Tang Dynasty had officially begun.

There are a lot of people here.

Li Shimin raised his eyelids slightly, then sat down calmly.

Sure enough, just after the ceremony here, an old minister stood up first.Before he could say anything, he took off the crown on his head and knelt tremblingly on the ground.

"Report to Your Majesty, old minister Wang Tong risked his life to hear—"

Li Shimin's eyelids couldn't help twitching, this is the rhythm of death.

"Yesterday, a newspaper called Datang Evening News suddenly appeared in Chang'an City. This kind of newspaper is capable of spreading evil, using hearsay, nonsense, and vulgar words. It is sinister and corrupts the people's customs, and it is second to none. The old minister implores His Majesty to order a thorough investigation..."

After Wang Tong finished speaking, more than a dozen young or old courtiers came out of hula la.

"Your Majesty, Jingzhao Webster is a century-old family with strict family traditions, loyalty and filial piety, and is valued by the world. This so-called "Datang Evening News" is maliciously slandering out of nothing. If it is not eradicated, it will not be enough to anger the common people!"

Looking at the courtiers who stepped forward one after another, Li Shimin's eyes could not help but narrow slightly. These courtiers who stood up included almost all the key departments of the imperial court. Although they were not chief officials, they were also important positions. The tentacles of these aristocratic families stretched very long. .Looking at these people in the main hall, Li Shimin fell silent.

Seeing that Li Shimin did not respond, many people walked out of the train at the same time with a tacit understanding.

"The ministers and others seconded the proposal—"

Hula, another group of people stood up, many of them were old ministers whom he usually relied heavily on, Li Shimin turned his head to look at the ministers.The voice is faint, no emotion can be heard.

"Several Qing family, what do you think?"

"The old minister believes that this kind of newspaper, with unnecessary news, spreads evil, which will definitely cause everyone in the Tang Dynasty to be in danger. If the people's hearts are uneasy, the world will be in trouble. The old minister thinks that it should be banned firmly—— "

"Everyone is in danger? Who are you talking about? Why is the old man not in danger? Everyone is in danger of bullshit, I am! If you don't move, you will put a big hat on people, and you will speak for the people. Don't do it Don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door when you have a bad conscience. Old thief Wei, I think you are in danger of yourself? Could it be that you have done something bad?"

Cheng Yaojin suddenly stood up, stared at Wei Zheng, and taunted him.Wei Zheng was so angry by this guy, his chest heaved and his face was ashen.

"Old man Cheng, the old man has acted in an upright manner all his life. He has never violated his conscience. You, you dare to insult the old man's innocence. The old man has fought against you—"

Cheng Yaojin curled his lips in disdain.

"The old man looks down on you sour literati. When the old man fights with you, you say that the old man is unreasonable. Let the old man be reasonable with you. You are going to play hooligans with the old man-come on, come on, you have the ability Let the horse come here, the old man will let you have two feet and one arm, and you will still be beaten until you are full of teeth..."

Wei Zheng: "..."

shameless!
Wei Zheng was so angry that his nose was smoking, but there was nothing he could do. This bastard is a master at bullying civil servants.

"Okay, don't say a few words—"

Li Shimin secretly gave Cheng Yaojin an approving look, Cheng Yaojin smiled and shrank back to his train without saying a word.

Wei Zheng was a little confused, he clearly said something about the newspaper, so why did his majesty try to persuade him to fight...

"Duke Qi, what do you think—"

Li Shimin set his sights on his uncle Guo, the most trustworthy old comrade in arms.

Changsun Wuji couldn't help but secretly sighed, he already knew that he couldn't escape this encounter.Although he hadn't found out who hosted the Datang Evening News, the all-too-familiar Feibai font on the title already explained everything.His eyes swept across the main hall one by one, and all the children or old relatives of the aristocratic families were looking at him.He knew that today, he had to stand in line, either by excluding himself from the family, or by being annoyed by the emperor.

In terms of background, he is the patriarch of the eldest grandson family, the natural leader of the aristocratic family, in terms of status, he is Shangshu Youpushe, No. 1 in the current dynasty, and in terms of relationship, he is a dignified uncle of the country.His words often determine the direction of things.

"My minister believes that what you ministers say is reasonable. This kind of newspaper, Jingzhao Webster, is a century-old family and is highly valued in the country. The Datang Evening News is maliciously slandering and has sinister intentions. put everyone in danger..."

A look of disappointment could not help but flash in Li Shimin's eyes. When the most fundamental interests were involved, he still stood in the position of the family.

"The ministers and others seconded the proposal—"

As soon as Changsun Wuji finished speaking, most of the people above the main hall burst out.Li Shimin raised his eyes and saw that the few remaining people were just humble scholars and veterans in the army whom he had promoted over the years.

Today's dispute, it is said that it is a newspaper, but it is actually a struggle between these aristocratic families and themselves.

Are you about to lose?

His gaze swept down, and when he touched a young man leaning on a pillar with his eyes closed in the main hall, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.With a dry cough, he tapped lightly on the case.

"Marquis Chang'an, what do you think of this—"

Before Li Shimin finished speaking, everyone in the hall couldn't help but focus their eyes.Wang Zi'an stood up straight and glanced at him with a half-smile. Above the main hall, there were these ministers who demanded that the Datang Evening News should be severely shut down.

"My minister believes that the Datang Evening News should be shut down—"

The people in the main hall couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, they were really afraid that the young Marquis, who is quite trusted by His Majesty, would spoil today's major event by talking nonsense.Unexpectedly, before the smiles on their faces disappeared, they heard Wang Zi'an's faint words.

"The Datang Evening News was sealed, but the Datang Evening News has now become the focus of the government and the public, and everyone in the world is paying attention, but it cannot be simply closed. The reason for sealing it has become the top priority. All lawsuits in the world are actually It’s a crime to spread. From this point of view, if what the newspaper reports is true, then it is not a serious crime. Could it be that I have done scandalous things, evil things, and things that broke my conscience, so I don’t let others tell them? Everyone He is a gentleman of moral character, and an important minister in the court. He should know the truth of defending against the mouths of the people rather than against Sichuan. If it is simple and rude, and it is only based on personal likes and dislikes, and the Datang Evening News is prosecuted for the crime of spreading evil, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the hearts of the world—"

When Wang Zi'an said this, he glanced at those eyes that were about to burst into flames, and said calmly.

"Weichen suggested that it is better not to set up a special inspection team and file a case for investigation. If the report of the Tang Evening News is false, it will be severely investigated and punished to make an example. To serve as a warning to the evildoers and to guide people's hearts!"
