It's no wonder that Zhang Nuo spoke so bluntly, it's because Wei Zheng today is completely different from what he was in the past.

Although Zhang Nuo didn't have much contact with Wei Zheng, they had dealt with him a few times because of newspaper matters. The usual Wei Zheng was extremely straightforward, the kind who really talked about each other.

But today's Wei Zheng is going around in circles in a different way, he doesn't talk about it, and he hates discussing the beauty of this teacup for a while, and discussing the taste of this tea for a while.

Zhang Nuo's mind is full of plans in his study at the moment, how can he be in the mood to chat with people here?

It's okay if they are close, just relax your nerves, but the key is that if you chat with Wei Zheng, you can't find a common language at all.

What Wei Zheng talked about was the favorite poems and tea art of literati in this era.

But the point is, don't look at Zhang Nuo's reputation in the literary world now, but in essence, he is completely an idiot who has to think about it before he can understand the specific and accurate meaning of relatively rare and obscure classical Chinese.

With such a person, if you talk about literature and art and tea ceremony with him, you will be excitedly talking about the beauty of mathematics and the difficulties in advanced mathematics with a bully in front of a scumbag.

Not giving you a slap to slap you outside is already the result of Zhang Nuo's improvement in self-cultivation and self-cultivation.

Wei Zheng couldn't help but blush when Zhang Nuo was so straightforward, and he hesitated for a long time before saying,

"Uh, Mrs. Zhang, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, um, how should I put it, Your Majesty, um, His Majesty intends to publish a few articles in the newspaper, and the old man intends to listen to your opinion!"

Zhang Nuo was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then looked at Wei Zheng, and found that the old man was still blushing and didn't dare to see others, so he was a little curious, what kind of article was this that made Wei Zheng so ashamed?

"Old Wei, show me that article. I really want to know what kind of article makes you so speechless!"

Hearing this, Wei Zheng quickly took out a stack of manuscript paper from his sleeve and put it in front of Zhang Nuo. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief when Zhang Nuo picked it up and looked through it carefully.

Lao Wei suffers!

After the court today, His Majesty called him aside, and then very directly stuffed several manuscripts at him, saying that with these few manuscripts as the core, a series must be produced for several consecutive issues.

Then Wei Zheng came to Zhang Nuo with a sad face.

If you don't come, you can't do it, he has already seen that although these articles did not name names, the overall meaning is very obvious, and they are all about a certain master in Taiyuan.

At first glance, these articles were written by the veterans of the speech officers themselves. They are deeply rooted in the essence of the usual yin and yang swearing. There is not a single dirty word in the whole article but almost everywhere. kind of.

Wei Zheng was worried about this problem earlier, fearing that the newspaper would become a means for the emperor to criticize others, and when the scolding war broke out, the editor-in-chief would write his name.

Even people who understand know that this is taking the blame for His Majesty, but the vast majority of people don't know it. They have seen it in the newspaper a long time ago. Mr. Wei Zhengwei is the ultimate person in charge of reviewing and publishing the manuscripts of the entire newspaper.

Therefore, as long as there is a problem with the published article, no matter whether it is good or bad, it will eventually be blamed on Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng had been worried for a long time before, but Li Shimin never got involved in his affairs, and praised him several times, saying that his newspaper was running well and the number of circulations was increasing.

Wei Zheng also slowly relaxed, thinking that His Majesty may be concerned about his own image, and would not use newspapers as a matter of attacking others.

But he never expected that this day would come so suddenly. Looking at the stack of manuscript papers in front of him, Wei Zheng knew it very well.

Li Shimin actually gave him two ways, one is to deal with the matter honestly, and he will still be the editor-in-chief of the newspaper in the future, and he will even be promoted to a noble in the future.

The second is very simple, you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to, this newspaper is co-run by him and Master Xiao Zhang, since you don’t want to do things for me as a shareholder, then don’t do it.

And Wei Zheng knew very well that once he rejected Li Shimin's arrangement this time, it would not only be a matter of losing the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, and he would not have to expect to be promoted to a noble in the future.

After all, a courtier who can refuse the task arranged by the emperor, do you still want to be reused by the emperor?

Therefore, Wei Zheng, who was so entangled that he almost pulled his beard off, ran to Zhang Nuo almost non-stop.

In his opinion, this young master knows the newspaper best, and he himself is absolutely unable to withstand His Majesty's pressure, and now he can only hope that this young man can stop His Majesty from such a willful move.

In fact, today's newspaper office is a very strange product. It is a commercial organization. All the staff in it are appointed by the imperial court.

It can be said that if it is a yamen, he has no clear grade, let alone the scope of management and power, he can only manage himself, and the income has to be distributed by Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo, even Zhang Nuo has already arranged it. Incentive system, as long as the performance is good this year, everyone will have a bonus to take.

That's not a verbal reward from the imperial court, it's a reward of real money, and after each manuscript is selected, there will be a sum of money.

It was precisely because of this nondescript and deformed positioning that Wei Zheng couldn't directly line up with Li Shimin in the name of the Yamen, so he could only ask Zhang Nuo.

After Zhang Nuo read all the papers, he looked at Wei Zheng excitedly and said,

"Let's go, Old Wei, let's go see Lao Li, this time we're going to kill the Wang family!"

Chapter 398 Datang's First Public Opinion War

When Wei Zheng heard Zhang Nuo's words, his heart turned cold. How dare this master be more excited and aggressive than His Majesty?

So does this count as home delivery?

But Zhang Nuo didn't care about what Wei Zheng was thinking!

He had wanted to kill the Wang family a long time ago. After all, a force that dared to send more than a thousand people to attack him would never stop dying.

Before, he was supporting Youzhou to fight against Luo Yi, and he was busy with the construction of the new city, but this careless person actually put this matter aside.

But now after seeing the manuscript that Li Shimin arranged for Wei Zheng, Zhang Nuo understood that he had forgotten about it for the time being, but Lao Li had been thinking about it all the time.

Then what else to say, hurry up to discuss with Lao Li, and don't care about the plan or not for the time being, let's kill the Wang family first to relieve the hatred.

Zhang Nuo glanced at Wei Zheng who was stunned there and said angrily,

"I said, Old Wei, what are you doing like a log, let's go!"

After finishing speaking, he got up and left, and at the same time shouted loudly that Lao Fang was preparing a carriage, and he was going into the city!

Wei Zheng was completely numb at the moment, walking out like a walking corpse, he finally understood why he came here to rescue soldiers.

This is delivered directly to the main door!
