Daming: I help my wife be the empress

The content of the imperial decree is very simple, that is, Zhu Yuxi heard that Liu Rushi was well-read and talented, and if she wanted to confer an official position, she first ordered her to go to the palace for a chat.

But it was this simple content that shocked Qian Qianyi, Liu Rushi and others so that they couldn't recover for a while.

It wasn't until Eunuch Li said "Liu Rushi accepts the order" for the second time that Liu Rushi came back to his senses first, and bowed to him: "The women take the order!"

Qian Qianyi managed to regain his composure when everyone got up.

He looked at what Liu Rushi wanted to say, but didn't know what to say, so he looked at Eunuch Li and asked, "Eunuch Li, did your Majesty mention Qian?"

At the same time, he signaled the housekeeper to give the money.

Eunuch Li did not take the money this time, and said with a faint smile: "Our family is just a eunuch passing the decree, how do we know about this? If you have the heart, let your wife prepare quickly, and come with our family to the palace to face the saint."

Qian Qianyi came to his senses after being reminded of this - Liu Rushi's going to the palace to face the saint would be beneficial to him anyway, if he could really be appreciated by Aimee Zhu, maybe he would have the opportunity to say something nice for him in the future, so that he could is re-enabled.

So he said to Liu Rushi in a urging tone: "Go and change into your clothes and enter the palace, don't make His Majesty wait too long."

Liu Rushi was actually very nervous at the moment, mixed with expectations, excitement, curiosity and other emotions. Hearing this, he nodded, then changed into a more elegant and solemn attire, and then went to the Forbidden City with Eunuch Li...
Hall of Martial Arts.

Liu Rushi stood up after paying homage, waiting for Aimi Zhu to ask her a question.

Auntie Zhu was sizing up Liu Rushi, while Hao Guangming was also watching through the phone camera.

He found that although Liu Rushi is 27 now, with light makeup, but his appearance is still very good, he is worthy of being one of the eight beauties of Qinhuai.

In addition, Liu Rushi still has an obvious bookish air, which is not as strong as Liu Shuying, and the overall feeling is still elegant and gentle.

"Liu Rushi, do you know the Dibao?"

Liu Rushi's real name was Yang Ai, but after falling into prostitution, she changed her name to Liu Yin, taking the character Rushi.Later, she became a famous prostitute, and most people called her Liu Rushi at that time, even the name Liu Yin was rarely mentioned, and as for Yang Ai's real name, not many people knew about it.

Although Auntie Zhu knew this, she followed Hao Guangming's habit and called him Liu Rushi.

"Women know a thing or two." Liu Rushi replied.

"Then tell me."

When Liu Rushi was a famous prostitute, she liked to read the mansion newspaper, and she paid close attention to the important affairs of the court and the war, so she really knew the mansion newspaper quite well.

She said: "According to reports, the Dibao existed in the Han Dynasty. At that time, the local county council set up a 'di' in Beijing and sent people to it to copy the important news from the court and convey it to the place, hence the name 'Dibao'.

In our dynasty, in order to prevent the people from misrepresenting information and criticizing the government, the Secretary of General Administration was set up to be responsible for publishing the residence newspaper.

Most of the content is the brief content of the red memorials transcribed by the six subjects, and there are also words of encouragement and admonition from the imperial court to local officials. "

Auntie Zhu nodded with a smile.

Liu Rushi is indeed well-informed, and her description of the Di Bao is similar to the information Hao Guangming gave her.

"Do you know what kind of newspapers there are among the people?"

Although the concept of newspaper has been around for a long time, this is the first time Liu Rushi has heard of the term "newspaper".

She thought for a while and said: "As far as the women know, there is a 'Beijing News' among the people, which mainly transcribes the content of the Mansion Newspaper, plus some other anecdotes about the capital, and even some businessmen's business information, which is a widely circulated one.

However, "Beijing News" is a folk saying, and its printing is actually "Di Bao".In addition, there are other cheat sheets that also focus on the content of the residence newspaper, which are rarely circulated and are not popular. "

After hearing what Liu Rushi said about the Beijing News, Aimee Zhu and Hao Guangming were curious—the couple really didn't know about it.

Aunt Zhu immediately asked, "Since I ascended the throne, has there been a Beijing newspaper in Nanjing?"

Liu Rushi is actually an old client of the "Beijing News", upon hearing this, he said, "Of course there are."

"Then how often is this Beijing News published? How many copies can it sell each time?"

Liu Rushi was dumbfounded after hearing this, and not only looked up at Aimee Zhu, but obviously didn't understand Aimi Zhu's words immediately.

But she was really smart, and she realized it by herself in just two or three seconds, and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, there is no fixed period for the sale of the Beijing News. Generally speaking, there is at least once a month. As for how much it can be sold, the women don't know." , but not many, after all, only some officials, scholars, and merchants would buy them.”

After hearing this, Aimee Zhu pondered for a while, and finally revealed the real purpose of summoning Liu Rushi.

"I need someone to run a newspaper, would you like to do it?"

Hearing this, Liu Rushi couldn't help breathing slightly, and her heart beat faster.

On the way into the palace, she guessed that Aimee Zhu might be looking for her to talk about poetry, or music, calligraphy and painting, because her talent in this area is indeed widely known.

After the face-to-face interview, Aimee Zhu asked about the Di Bao and the Beijing News as soon as she came up, and Liu Rushi felt that if Aunt Zhu really wanted to be appointed, she would most likely go to the leisurely Tongzheng Secretary.

It never occurred to her that Auntie Zhu wanted her to run a newspaper on purpose.With her intelligence and keen political sense, she immediately realized that she might be reused this time!

Although he was excited and nervous, Liu Rushi did not react slowly, and immediately said with a bow: "The woman is willing!"

Aimee Zhu smiled brightly, raised a bare hand and said, "The Imperial Academy plans to appoint Liu Yin as the seventh-rank official of the Propaganda Department, to promote various affairs of the 'Daming Newspaper Office', and also to be the editor-in-chief of the newspaper office to run the 'Da Ming Daily'. "

Hearing this, Liu Rushi became more excited and her heart beat faster - she never expected that Auntie Zhu would be appointed a seventh-rank official, and she was also an official in the Propaganda Department.

She has also heard about the newly established Propaganda Department among the ten ministries of the imperial court, but it is said that there is no one at present.

If she becomes the first official official of the Propaganda Department, even if she is only from the seventh rank, she will have a bright future.

After recovering, Liu Rushi immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you!"

"Get up." Auntie Zhu said with a smile, "I'll talk to you about the founding of the newspaper and "Da Ming Pao" again."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Speaking of which, Liu Rushi's official position proposed by the Propaganda Department was much lower than that of Hao Guangming's initial suggestion of the director, Yuanwailang.

In other ministries, the promotion was originally an official of the lower rank of the eighth grade. Here, in order to show the importance she attaches to the newspaper, Zhu Wei gave it a promotion, but it still cannot be compared with the chief executive and Yuanwailang.

It wasn't that Auntie Zhu was jealous because Hao Guangming admired Liu Rushi, but that after careful consideration with Hao Guangming, she and Hao Guangming felt that Liu Rushi should not be given too high an official position and burdened too much.

Although Daming now has her as an empress, and there are two female generals in the army, Qin Liangyu and Hong Niangzi, and her private organization secretariat and telecommunications office also mainly employ female officials, but it is the first time that female officials are appointed to civil servants in the court .

After all, this is something that challenges the millennium tradition, and it will definitely be resisted by civil officials.Even if the civil servants did not dare to attack her openly due to her prestige and strength, they would secretly put pressure on Liu Rushi.

In this way, it is not good for Liu Rushi and the news bureau that he was originally planned to be in charge of.

Therefore, Auntie Zhu simply asked Liu Rushi to start as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper office.

The newspaper office is a new unit, and the newspaper is barely considered a new thing. On the surface, it will not harm the interests of civil servants in the court, so Liu Rushi and the "Da Ming Pao" will be under much less pressure.

Of course, her actions in this regard are so slow and gentle. If there are still people who are uninterested, disturbing or even obstructing, she doesn't mind using a knife...

Liu Rushi didn't come back until the afternoon.

During this time, the Imperial Forest Army came to deliver a message saying that Liu Rushi had been left in the palace for lunch by Auntie Zhu.

This made Qian Qianyi tremble with excitement, feeling that a turning point in his life was coming.

When Liu Ru returned home in the afternoon, Qian Qianyi immediately greeted her and greeted her warmly, "Madam is you back?"

Liu Rushi nodded first, and then couldn't help saying: "Why did the master come to the courtyard to welcome the concubine? How bad is it to spread the word?"

"What's wrong, I don't care about the name." Qian Qianyi pretended to be chic, and then asked, "Did you have lunch with His Majesty?"

This matter is indeed of great significance, so Liu Rushi couldn't help but blushed with excitement, nodded and said: "I am too involved in chatting with Your Majesty, and at noon we will have a simple meal together in the Hall of Martial Arts."

Hearing this, Qian Qianyi was more excited than Liu Rushi, and asked again: "Then what official position will His Majesty grant Madam?"
