Borrow the day to change the day

But this time Wang Chengen was wrong. Today is different from the past, and some things have changed because of Zhong Jinwei's time travel.

Cao Yubian first checked the three urgent deliveries in order, and then heard Emperor Chongzhen say to him: "The civil uprising in Nanjing involves a lot. I am determined to send you to investigate the truth and detain the relevant people to Beijing for trial. , Cao Qing, would you like to go?"

"Your Majesty's order, I dare not resign." Cao Yubian replied cleanly.

Seeing his straightforward answer, Emperor Chongzhen knew that he must be calculating, so he asked him again: "What is Cao Qing's thinking on this matter?"

Cao Yubian knew that Emperor Chongzhen was a little worried about whether he would favor someone, so he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, from the three urgent documents, there is already evidence that the restoration of the society has a great relationship with the civil uprising. No matter what happens in the end It must be dealt with with ulterior motives. As for whether the people at the Nanjing Branch of the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty committed crimes or not, I will know at the first instance. In addition, I will also confirm whether any officials have violated their duties or have acted to cover up troublemakers. Check it out."

Hearing this, Wang Chengen couldn't help but look at Cao Yubian again. This didn't seem to be the Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in his impression.

The reason Cao Yubian wanted to do this was entirely related to his ass sitting there.

The previous reputation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was too bad, and he had always wanted to change it.

He made the right bet on the reform of the banking industry when there was an incident at the ticket office last time.To a large extent, he reversed the reputation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate that he would only be corrupt and not do anything. At the same time, he won interests for the various yamen and established the Weimin Bank.All laid a good foundation for his reputation.

Now there are twists and turns in Nanjing's banking reform. For him, this is intolerable.

Besides, all the evidence points to it now, it is very clear that this is by no means a spontaneous civil uprising by the people, but someone behind it.

Cao Yubian had already made up his mind to do something big and revive the reputation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Others may not dare to touch Zhang Fu, the famous Mr. Xizhang, or Zhou Yanru, a cabinet minister, but Cao Yubian dared to, and he still wanted to touch it.If it were not for such a shocking case, it would not be enough to reverse the reputation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate at once, and it would also make Cao Yubian's reputation spread all over the country.

Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied after hearing Cao Yubian's reply. He nodded and said, "Dongchang has been investigating Jiangnan for a long time. After Cao Qing went to Nanjing, I ordered Dongchang to hand over the relevant evidence to Qing. .”

"I obey the order." Cao Yubian bowed and agreed, then turned to Wang Cheng'en and said, "I also ask the prince to help you a lot."

At this moment, Wang Chengen suddenly remembered that Dongchang had already surpassed the Metropolitan Procuratorate in terms of legal principles.I couldn't help but secretly smiled, laughing that I was still thinking about things in the same way before.

"Your Majesty has an order, and our family will obey it. Please rest assured, Zuodu Censor." Wang Chengen replied in a business-like manner.

After the Emperor Chongzhen saw that they had finished speaking, he ordered Cao Yubian to say: "Qing Cao must rush to Nanjing as soon as possible. After handling the matter, urge the Nanjing Branch of the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty to open. If there is any problem, you can send the local army to help."

Cao Yubian knew that Emperor Chongzhen was afraid that those people would come to besiege him again, so he replied with a serious face: "I understand."

He quickly received the imperial edict, and rushed to Nanjing to deal with the civil uprising that day.

In the Wenhua Palace, after Cao Yubian left the gate of the palace, Zhong Jinwei played to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I feel that there are a few things that should be brought to the attention of the court about the civil uprising in Nanjing. It is best to pay attention to it." Prevent it from happening again."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen asked quickly, "Master Zhong, what are you talking about, tell me quickly."

Wang Chengen and Wen Tiren also looked at Zhong Jinwei curiously, not knowing what he was going to say.

"First, the civil uprising in Nanjing will happen, that is, those students first put up big-character posters, and then gathered the crowd to incite the people to make trouble. Analyzing it, they first grasped the public opinion, and only then did the following things happen."

Zhong Jinwei's analysis made several people nod their heads and understood what he meant.

"Your Majesty, I have said many times before that the guidance of public opinion is important. For this reason, I also asked the director of Jiaofang to train a troupe to perform in various places. By the way, the previous entrustment is actually a kind of guidance of public opinion." Zhong Jinwei continued to remind road.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately agreed and said: "I know, it is because the imperial court did not guide the public opinion in Nanjing well in advance, so people have the opportunity to take advantage of it."

"Your Majesty is wise, I now feel that the control of public opinion in places other than the capital needs to be strengthened." Zhong Jinwei put forward his opinion.

When Emperor Chongzhen was talking to Zhong Jinwei, Wen Tiren was already thinking about this issue, and only then expressed his opinion: "Your Majesty, I think that it is best to publish this kind of government affairs through the residence newspaper in advance, so that the world can understand in advance. "

The reason why Zhong Jinwei raised this question just now was because he had his own ideas.Now when Wen Tiren said the solution, his brows furrowed imperceptibly, and then immediately relaxed. He looked at Wen Tiren and said, "What Mr. Wen said is very true, but I also have a plan, which can be with Mr. Wen." Complements what was said."

Emperor Chongzhen was delighted when he heard it, and quickly asked, "Master Zhong, what do you have to add?"

Zhong Jinwei turned to Emperor Chongzhen and replied: "Your Majesty, I think it's a good idea to post what Lord Wen said about the state affairs in the mansion newspaper first. But the people who read the mansion newspaper will be relatively small, and then they will spread the word. It slows down."

Wen Tiren thought about it for a while, and asked, "Marquis Zhongxing, what do you mean?"

This is tantamount to urging Zhong Jinwei again for Emperor Chongzhen, so he stopped analyzing and explaining, and directly stated his suggestion: "I suggest that the imperial court run newspapers, and at least there must be newspapers controlled by the imperial court in the provinces of the two capitals and the thirteen provinces." .”

Wang Chengen didn't speak all the time, listening to Zhong Jinwei's explanation, when he heard it now, he thought, is this something new for later generations?

"Master Zhong, what is a newspaper, how to run this newspaper, and how to control it?" Emperor Chongzhen was impatient and asked three questions in a row.

Zhong Jinwei smiled and replied: "Your Majesty, this newspaper, as the name suggests, is just a piece of paper. It can be said that the paper for the report is a newspaper. Record everything the court wants to tell the people on it, and then distribute it throughout the country."

Wen Tiren was a little speechless, and he couldn't help asking: "Marquis Zhongxing, aren't you still a residence newspaper?"

Indeed, Di Bao was actually the original newspaper.Both have the function of reporting news and guiding public opinion.

Zhong Jinwei had no choice but to explain in more detail: "The mansion newspaper is for the local governments, and the newspaper is for ordinary people, so that the audience will be wider. Because of the different objects, the content of the publication can be different, and the articles can also be written. It’s not the same. There are actually quite a few differences between the mansion newspaper and the newspaper.”

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it seriously for a while, and although he felt that what Zhong Jinwei said was not unreasonable, it seemed that it was not very necessary to do this with great fanfare.

So, he still had a smile on his face, and asked Zhong Jinwei: "Master Zhong, do you think about whether this newspaper is definitely needed?"
