Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 218 Fire

The days that followed were uneventful.

The only disturbance was the publication of tabloids in Zhengshutang.

The name of their newspaper is much more elegant than a simple name like "Jinghua Tabloid". It is called: Yandu Joke.

It sounds more artistic.

Zhang Cong brought over a copy, many of which were more elegant poems and songs, in stark contrast to their gossip in the streets.

However, the main journal is quite avant-garde, and many of them express their opinions on some policies and guidelines of the imperial court.

"My lord, look..."

"It's good! Qu Gao and few, Yangchun Baixue's style is not the same as ours, and it can't compete with us."

Qin Shao laughed.

"Yes, I was worried about competing with us before. From this point of view, there is nothing to worry about! It was published by the Zhengshutang. If I am not mistaken, it should be led by the son of Yang Shoufu. Many of the poems on it are similar to his. style."

Zhang Cong also laughed.

To be honest, Zhang Cong also liked the kind of high-profile poems before he started this career. After all, he was also a literati, and he thought they were very elegant.

But after doing this Beijing tabloid, I learned the real hobbies of ordinary people. They only want to know some things in the market, and they don't like articles that are about others.

"However, Eldest Young Master, they still have a special issue on government affairs, which..."

"This kind of thing is just right. We were just trying to fight the edge, and we were worried about being targeted. Since Yang Shoufu's young master took the lead and he was the one who took the lead, we can make the edge more obvious in the future, hahaha!"

The tabloids in the Song Dynasty were mainly lace news in the early stage. As their influence grew, they gradually became the tools of different factions in the court.

Later, two major incidents occurred, and the two elders were killed:
Rumor has it that Zhu Xi got involved with nuns and his daughter-in-law, causing a generation of literary elders to step down.

Slamming Cai Jing made him ashamed.

It had an impact on the government, and was later banned by the court.

Qin Shao kept asking Zhang Cong and the others to brush aside tactfully to avoid being too ostentatious to be noticed by interested people.

Now that Yang Tinghe's young master takes the lead, wouldn't it be better?

Qin Shao couldn't help laughing.

This Yang Shen is really interesting.

Zhang Cong understood Qin Shao's meaning in seconds, and couldn't help laughing.

……

In November, battle reports came from the Western Regions.

It is said that Man Su'er personally led [-] cavalry to attack Jiayuguan.

Under the guidance of Lin Tong, who was patrolling the border of the imperial court,

Guerrilla Rui Ning, general Jiang Cunli and deputy envoy Chen Jiuchou recognized Man Su'er's wolf ambition.

The joint border guards wiped out 8000 Mansuer cavalry, and Mansuer fled with 2000 cavalry.

The news spread to the court, and the crowd was excited!
Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao was even more happy, and directly issued a decree to reward the officers and soldiers who participated in the war.

Wang Qiong then wrote a letter to impeach Peng Ze for adding gold coins to the enemy country at will, making his own claim, communicating with the enemy to negotiate peace, and causing war after breaking his promise.

Peng Ze seized the official position for the people, and Wang Qiong was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War.

"Eldest son! Eldest son!"

Early in the morning, Wang Tu rushed to Qin Shao's house.

"uncle!"

Qin Shao heard his voice and walked out of the room directly.

He knew that Wang Tu would come soon after hearing the news.

"The reward from the imperial court was delivered to our home, is it... Is it because Yun'er and the others are safe and sound."

Wang Tu asked excitedly.

"Yes, that's natural. Since the imperial court has rewarded them, it means that Brother Yun and the others have completed the task and made great contributions. Naturally, they should be rewarded. Brother Yun and Brother Lin Tong must be fine."

Qin Shao was also very happy.

In fact, he has been worried about the safety of the two of them these days.

Now that the situation has changed, his worries have been settled.

"Eldest son, you said that it is necessary for Yun'er... It is necessary..."

Wang Tu was still a little worried.

Qin Shao understood.

This time Wang Yun's meritorious service will definitely be reused by the emperor.

And now that Wang Qiong is the Minister of the Ministry of War, maybe he will be divided into an official and a half job.

Wang Tu too understands that in today's court, the relationship between the emperor and Yang Ting and Mingli's master and apprentice is actually a rivalry inside.

He worried that his son Wang Yun would become cannon fodder in the middle.

"Uncle, don't worry too much. Brother Yun is a low-key person, so there shouldn't be any big problems."

As far as Qin Shao knew.

Even if Zhu Houzhao was defeated in the end, Yang Tinghe just got rid of a few ostentatious people, burned the Leopard Square, and then dismissed the frontier troops in order to avoid too much influence. At best he was fired.

What's more, he is only a foreman of Goufang now, and it is unknown what position he will be promoted to later.

Now that the two are involved in the frontier defense of the Western Regions, they should have also experienced wars.

If nothing else, it should be used by Wang Qiong.

A few days later, I received a letter from Wang Yun, saying that it was an adjustment from the Western Regions.

Wang Qiong asked Wang Yun and Lin Tong to stay there, Lin Tong became the chief executive of Suzhou, and Wang Yun became the deputy chief executive.

Wang Yun said that he was training at the border now, that the Beijing soldiers and the border soldiers were interchanging, and he would go back in a year or two.

Wang Tu finally felt relieved after hearing the news.

There is still some Wang Yun's surprise and praise for Qin Shao in his heart, saying that the eldest son is as good as a god.

The road to the Western Regions was rugged, and they did not reach the border of Lanzhou until October.

I knew that if I stayed there, I would definitely not be able to reach Suzhou.

Wang Yun persuaded Lin Tong, and the two took a detour to Suzhou directly.

First find the guerrilla general Rui Ning, who just happened to be dismissed and is in the middle of handing over work.

They identified themselves, and Wang Yun told Rui Ning about Man Su'er's sinister intentions according to Qin Shao's words.

He originally thought that Rui Ning would not believe it, but who knew that Rui Ning believed it directly, saying that he knew about Man Su'er's ambition long ago, but now that he is being impeached and dismissed, it is not easy to do things.

Rui Ning was hesitant at first, but a military officer is a military officer, and only a few days before November, Rui Ning was immediately anxious that the officers and soldiers in the city were waiting in full force, and asked Chen Jiuchou, the deputy envoy of military preparations, for help.

Chen Jiuchou and Rui Ning had a very close relationship, and he believed Rui Ning directly, and then fought a beautiful ambush with the general Jiang Cunli.

Wang Yun said that this battle shocked him very much.

In the past, the soldiers and horses in the five cities were all concerned with trivial matters, which was too much trouble, but now at the border, I realized that men should fight on the battlefield and fight for the residents of the border!

After reading Wang Yun's passionate words, Qin Shao lamented that the low-key and introverted man had such a passionate side.

……

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it is the time of Chinese New Year.

Before he knew it, Qin Shao had already spent his third Spring Festival here.

Today's Spring Festival is still here in Beijing.

Han Jinrong prepared the New Year's goods early, and An Luzhou sent the New Year's goods before.

While delivering New Year's goods to the Wang family and Lin Tong's family, Qin Shao also asked her to go to the palace with Mrs. Fu to bring gifts to the old concubine.

When she came back, Han Jinrong had an emerald bracelet on her hand.

"Master, the old concubine insisted on giving me this, it's too precious..."

Han Jinrong was at a loss.

She already knew Qin Shao's identity and his relationship with the old concubine.

It's just such an expensive gift, she still feels embarrassed.

"Give it, and you will accept it."

Qin Shao laughed.

Only then did Han Jinrong accept it obediently.

On New Year's Eve, Qin Shao asked An Yongzhen and Zhang Cong to come home to celebrate the New Year together.

The dishes on New Year's Eve are rich and lively.

Everyone is eating to their heart's content.

Wang Tu suddenly came over.

"Eldest son! Eldest son!"

"What happened?"

Qin Shao was very nervous when he saw Wang Tu's expression, and knew that something serious must have happened.

"The palace is on fire, and it's almost burning to the Qianqing Palace!"

Wang Tu said, his face was full of fear.
