Northern Song Dynasty: Starting from the son of Song Renzong

Chapter 209 Half a Year
In order to better control the direction of public opinion and so that newspapers can do better.

Zhao Xin had no choice but to come in person.

As for the court...anyway, there's nothing big happening for the time being.

Just leave it to Ouyang Xiu and the others and let them serve as your eyes and ears.

Zhao Xin felt that a person like Ouyang Xiu could still be trusted.

Because the other party doesn't seem like the kind of person who would become a treacherous minister and hide important things from you.

……

And the newspaper is called "Daily News", so naturally, it must be updated every day.

But there is indeed little news at the moment.

Therefore, from time to time, Zhao Xin could only use other things to make up the numbers.

For example:
Job Notice.

Another example:

Serialize some good words and sentences.

This certainly doesn't pose a problem for Zhao Xin.

I said silently in my heart, I'm sorry, Xin Qiji, I'm sorry, Li Qingzhao.

then……

Zhao Xin copied out the lyrics and poems of these two people.

Chen Yuanyuan was also stunned by what she saw.

after all……

Although it is now the Song Dynasty and is about to enter its most prosperous period of culture, the poems of Xin Qiji and Li Qingzhao are still a bit too much.

After reading it, Chen Yuanyuan asked, "Who wrote this poem?"

Zhao Xin asked, "What others wrote, how was it?"

Chen Yuanyuan said, "It's fresh and refined, better than anything else you've read on the market."

Zhao Xin: "Use it to fill in the content of the newspaper."

after……

Open a special column for poetry.

It’s too tiring to edit it myself, so I have to find other people and collect other people’s works.

……

And wait until the newspaper hits the streets.

The people of Tokyo City soon learned about a man called the "Dragon of Ci".

There is another one, who is even more arrogant. She named herself "the most talented woman in history".

'The thatched eaves are low and small, and the grass on the stream is green. When I was drunk, the Wu accent sounded so charming, whose old man and old woman are these white-haired old men?'

'The eldest son is hoeing beans on the east side of the creek, the middle son is weaving a chicken coop. The youngest son is my favorite, lying at the head of the creek peeling lotus pods.'

After reading the poems of this "dragon among poems", some people also commented: "This "dragon among poems" should be the author, right?"

"But this word doesn't seem to be the best among words. Why is this person so arrogant?"

Then, a second person said, "The wind has stopped, the dust has settled, the flowers have withered, and I am tired of combing my hair at night. Things have changed, people have changed, and everything has come to an end. I want to speak, but tears already flow. I heard that the spring in Shuangxi is still beautiful, so I also planned to go boating. But I am afraid that Shuangxi's small boat cannot carry so much sorrow."

"To be honest, I don't realize how talented this woman is."

"Of course! To be honest, this boat and its sorrow are indeed well written."

in fact……

These words are all good!

only……

What everyone is dissatisfied with is why you dare to call yourself the dragon of poetry and say that you are the most talented woman of all time.

I didn't even dare to say that.

These two people are so arrogant!

Some people even took the lyrics to Ouyang Xiu and others for comments.

Ouyang Xiu naturally had no idea what was going on with these two arrogant people.

However, compared with the poetry of the Song Dynasty, the poetry of these two authors does have its own style and characteristics.

That's all I can say.

Zhao Xin also took the opportunity to collect poems from everyone.

In the small line below, it was written that if hired, one would receive a reward of one hundred coins.

When everyone looked at it, they felt that one hundred coins was not too much, but not too little either.

Of course!
Compared to the writing fees of many people, these hundred coins are definitely not worth mentioning.

but……

Since everyone knew that it was hosted by His Royal Highness Prince Yu, many people participated enthusiastically.

first!
Maybe this can help me gain some fame in Tokyo.

Come second!

Maybe he could even catch the eye of His Royal Highness Prince Yu in the future.

Because of this, along with the promotion of a group of scholars, the newspaper gradually became popular.

And actually...

What entertainment could the ancients have at home? This newspaper is not expensive. You can buy one and read new novels every day, appreciate poetry, find jobs, and post buying and selling information.

Why not?

Whether they were officials, businessmen, people taking the imperial examinations, or even ordinary people, they all gradually began to accept the existence of such things.

The sales of newspapers also gradually increased.

half year later……

After Zhao Xin's management, the people in Tokyo City have gradually developed the habit of reading newspapers.

Although it is possible that dozens of people will read a newspaper together.

But at least!

The habit of reading newspapers has remained with me.

As for the "dragon among ci poems" and the most talented woman of all time, many people secretly speculated whether it referred to Zhao Xin or Chen Yuanyuan herself.

So much so that when she entered the palace, Madam Miao asked what this dragon in poetry and the most talented woman of all time were all about.

Zhao Xin could only cough twice.

Don’t know, not familiar.

Seeing Zhao Xin's expression, Chen Yuanyuan didn't know what to say.

However, Chen Yuanyuan privately thought that those words were thought of by His Highness himself.

Otherwise, think about it, in the past six months, with more and more poems written by the Dragon of Ci and the most talented woman of all time, why have these two people never shown up?

although……

The content of some poems does not seem to be written by Your Highness.

But the problem is...

It's strange that he could write such good poems but never became famous.

of course!

The adults didn't investigate further in the end.

After all, if Chen Yuanyuan was not really the most talented woman of all time, and you forced her to write a poem and saw that she really couldn't write it in the end, then it would be over.

Chen Yuanyuan, Madam Miao, Madam Yu, and the Empress were all having a great time.

As for Madam Zhang, she increasingly exposed the fact that she did not like her adopted son very much.

Yes!

After all, who would like someone else's son? If your own son is ugly, you might not even like him.

Not to mention that this person has no blood relationship with me.

In fact, Zhao Zhen can also be seen from some subtle things.

only……

He didn't make much sound.

Granny Jia also advised Madam Zhang: "This child is the official's biological son after all. Can't you really treat him as your own son?"

Madam Zhang also said in a tantrum, "But after all, he is not my biological child."

Granny Jia then asked, "Do you still want to be the queen?"

Madam Zhang definitely wants to, but...

Then he added: "With that person here, even if he grows up, what can he do?"

Granny Jia could only patiently ask, "What if?"

"It's not the first time that a child of an official has died."

"You still have to seize the opportunity."

"Next... don't act like you're embarrassed to hug her in front of the officials."

At the beginning, Grandma Jia did think about changing the baby.

But the problem is...

This has to meet various conditions.

For example, if the government official is about to go to the winter festival and is away for two or three days, he may not be able to come back in time.

Also, it is not difficult to bribe the guards in the palace.

Because the guards in the palace were actually Yang Huaimin's people who had already entered the palace.

This Imperial City Bureau has long been completely corrupt.

But in the end they didn't do it.

Since a prince was really born, there is no need to change it.

however……

Although such steps have been removed.

All we can say is that they are still a long way from their ultimate goal.

The main thing is, no one knows what the emperor is thinking. It seems that he has never doubted His Royal Highness the Prince of Yu.

Logically speaking, a prince with such great power should have been deposed and guarded against long ago.

But the government would rather leave all the work to the other party to do and take care of.

Granny Jia could only comfort herself by waiting for the little prince for another ten or eight years, hoping that this would slightly shake the emperor's trust in His Royal Highness the Prince of Yu.
