I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 548 Xiao Zhuoer A Mouth of Old Blood
I heard that His Majesty called the Patriarch of the Cao family into the palace to reprimand him. I heard that if the Empress Dowager Cao hadn't interceded, His Majesty might have punished the Cao family for their crimes.

These rumors were limited to the courtiers, because someone saw Cao Taiwei leaving with a livid face.

But the truth only exists in the inner garden.

"Officials, the matter of "Cuju Express" was approved by the officials."

Fu Bi's character cannot make people take the blame and remain indifferent.Besides, he thought there was nothing wrong with it.

"For a rich man, water can carry a boat or overturn it. The words of Emperor Taizong of the first dynasty are the most reasonable. But whether the courtiers are guilty or not depends on the law, regulations, and the court, not public opinion."

"The behavior of "Cuju Express" essentially has the effect of guiding the direction of public opinion, even to the point of influencing the court's decision-making. This is very serious."

"Let's not talk about whether these ministers and workers are collaborating with the enemy and treason, but now, in public opinion, it has become collusion and treason. Even the investigation organized by the imperial court has to be perfunctory and let it go. This is not normal."

Zhao Xi spoke righteously, as if these things really had nothing to do with him, and indeed made the husbands feel that they really had nothing to do with him.

"My lords, the people don't have the ability to discern, and they can't tell right from wrong. What they rely on is their passion and emotion, and this emotion can easily influence their behavior."

"Just look at the daily life of these ministers and workers' families. Just this article makes it difficult for them to move forward in Bianliang. Therefore, public opinion needs supervision and guidance."

"Let's have a discussion in the political affairs hall and introduce a bill on the supervision and guidance of public opinion to avoid such incidents from happening."

"As for this time... let's leave it at that. Let's see if we can get some help from Workshop City and let them go back to their hometowns!"

"In addition, let Cai Que be the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and at the same time serve as the assistant official of the supervisory office. He is responsible for preparing the newspaper printing press led by the imperial court similar to "Shi Lun" and "Cuju Express". He also undertakes the function of supervising and guiding public opinion."

"There are two types of newspapers and printing houses, one is the internal reference for officials above the fourth rank of the imperial court, and the other is the minbao for the people of the world."

"As for the role? To preach imperial policies, popularize enlightenment, and even publish civil appeals, etc. The internal reference is to publish a certain degree of court deliberations, and a special column is set up to monitor the behavior of the world's officials and judge court policies and decisions."

This is the reason why Cao Taiwei left Neiyuan with a pale face.

Whether it's "Cuju Express" or "Shi Lun" reporting, these are originally not optimistic, and the officials insist on making a living.

No one expected that such a large-scale industry would eventually emerge.

Today's newspaper offices cover almost all the prefectures and counties in the country, and the profits they generate are not even worse than raising a Cuju team.

In the eyes of the old six families, they and the officials are the court and can represent the will of the court.But now, the officials actually want the court to take the lead in running the newspaper...

To be honest, it's not that no courtiers had this idea. Of course, their idea was not that the court held it, but that some courtiers saw the profits and wanted to take a share.

Some people discussed with Lao Liu's family, and Lao Liu's family closed the door to death... If Lao Liu's family really wants to close a door, there is really no one in Guochao who can push it open, dare to push it open, let alone them There are officials behind.

But I didn't expect the officials to personally push it away... This is for the court to share the money with them, and there is no way to refuse.

People's recognition of the imperial court and the old six families can see the results without comparison, which indicates that the business of resisting and reporting will definitely be impacted.

I hope that the east land mentioned by the officials can really have another big benefit!

Zhao Xi can't think too limitedly, he needs to have the imperial vision.

The subsequent three-level decision-making system will, to a certain extent, put an end to the chatter of courtiers at the court meeting, and it is very likely to encounter conflicts.

Using this excuse, it would be better for Zhao Xi to open a window for those who always like to find fault with nothing, and then close the door.

Nothing has ever been simple, such as this so-called traitor rebellion, Zhao Xi wants this incident to have a lot of effects...

Xiao Zhuoer was about to die of depression, very aggrieved.

It's only been a few days, and the people who went north probably haven't arrived in Shangjing yet, and haven't received the news from the Daliao court about the Song army attacking the Daliao army in Hebei Province, but the chaos in Bianliang made him feel more and more depressed.

Others don't know what happened to these dead Song officials, but Xiao Zhuoer knows.

During the last mission to the Great Song Dynasty, Daliao’s secret agent gave himself a list, and this time those who died in Bianliang were all on the list...~
If he had known this earlier, he really shouldn't have contacted them during his two missions.

Now that the Song Kingdom is strong and prosperous, keeping them is more effective than discarding them now!
Fortunately, Xiao Zhuoer had to rejoice that the entire army was not wiped out, and some hidden chess pieces were not wiped out...

The matter ended like this, and the courtiers who were watching were confused. They thought that the court would give an explanation, but when the personnel who were dispatched to form an investigation team returned one by one, everyone finally understood: it really is over like this.

How can you do this?Doesn't this mean that these people who died have surrendered to the enemy and treason?But everyone just criticized in their hearts, and no one wrote a book for the dead colleague... No one is stupid.

Suddenly one day, people discovered that the family members of these dead ministers had all disappeared overnight...

This is a disaster for the family. Apart from surrendering to the enemy and treason, what other crimes can compare to such a result?
There are also people who beat around the bush and asked the relatives...~What can the relatives say?Can it be said that because Zhengshitang agreed to publish those articles in Cuju Express, the family members of these courtiers could not survive in Bianliang?
Or is it clear that all this is for the court to protect those family members?Can't even say it!

If there is no thorough investigation, there will be no truth, so people will be wary and dare not mix it at will...~This is defection to the enemy and treason!

Does the country not kill scholar-bureaucrats?Surrender to the enemy and treason are no longer included in this list!
In a few days, it seems that the second day after the family members of the dead courtiers disappeared, the Zhengshitang received several resignations, which have not been processed yet, and then more and more resignations came up.

There are very good reasons for this. Those who serve their parents, those who are too old to bear the burden, those who are unable to do what they want, etc., are all resolute in their careers anyway.

Both the government and the Zhengshitang rejected the resignation according to the usual practice, and enthusiastically persuaded them to stay, but they were determined to leave...~
"Think about the resumes of the people who wrote the resignation letters..."

Fu Bi always felt that something was wrong, the wind was blowing for no reason.

After you carefully examine the resumes of these people...

"Officials, since they insist on staying away from the court, the officials should give permission, so as to fulfill the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers."

No more persuading him to stay, Fu Bi is persuading him to let him go...

"Are you sure? Can you fulfill the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers?"

Zhao Xi looked at all the husbands with great humor, and asked very plainly.

"Return to the official's house, it is true!"

The imperial court approved and approved the resignations of nearly thirty court officials...

Another inexplicable event, very strange.

At this time, Xiao Zhuoer in Dutingyi spit out a mouthful of old blood... ~ fainted!

This is not simply a matter of losing those chess pieces. I am afraid that Xiao Zhuoer went back to Daliao... It is not clear that he caused the annihilation of Daliao's chess pieces in the court of Song Dynasty.
