Not only Suzhou and Hangzhou, but also at almost all ports, dozens or hundreds of weekly magazines began to smell gunpowder.

Since the Suiya Weekly’s popularity, with the expansion of maritime affairs, various weekly magazines have also begun to emerge. Almost several weekly magazines have been published at the coastal ports and in various places.

Since Suiya Weekly started, there have been many more influential weekly magazines in the Song Dynasty. In addition to telling stories and asking scholars to write some articles of flowers, some weekly magazines have simply come boldly and gradually began to criticize some of them. However, everyone is a businessman, but most of these articles discussed during the criticism are written by famous scholars from all over the country. Even if the court wants to ban them, it is mostly to report them to the attitude of being less than more.

The bureaucrats have always been like this, just to do things with ease and not leave any handles. Teach them to have the courage to offend Qingliu, it would be better to kill them.

The so-called Qingliu is actually his own people from the nobles in the court. When the bureaucrats step down, they will become Qingliu in a blink of an eye. If Qingliu enters the court and becomes an official again, the only difference is just a change in identity. Therefore, those who enter the court can only seek wealth and honor with Qingliu's reputation. When they retire, they will become angry young people in a blink of an eye. A three-foot-long pen will immediately become their weapon for laughter. When I was in Taiwan, I was scolded by you, but now it is finally my turn to curse people.

So being an official is about being a stable person, but Qingliu must learn to curse. The more ruthless the scolding, the higher the reputation. A bunch of articles immediately caused someone to copy them everywhere in Luoyang Paper Gui. If you don’t even have the ability to curse, it will be difficult to stand out in this industry. Even if you are the top scholar, you will feel that you are shorter when you see a famous scholar.

Therefore, famous scholars are all experienced people, with a beautiful pen like flowers, and they can ridicule and laugh at each other. But the nobles on the stage cannot fight back. If they teach people to investigate, they will stab the hornet's nest and immediately become a typical example of great traitors and evil. Everyone will copy the pen and rush over, and they will be portrayed as Zhao Gao. Moreover, you can't even retaliate, you can't scold you. If you scold, everyone will laugh at you for not being elegant enough and have no temperament.

So everyone on the stage pretended to be very dignified, and the ones under the head simply racked their brains to curse with the weekly magazine. These laughter and anger were not all bad, but some of them were bastards. They clearly didn't understand water conservancy and could curse water control, but they didn't know how much money and grain, and they could criticize the agricultural affairs. But now, the direction of the wind has changed. Major weekly magazines began to turn the limelight almost at the same time, pointing directly to Bianjing.

Some people quote scriptures and laugh at the gossip of the princes of all dynasties. Some people directly raise old accounts and mention the matter of the prince's peace talks. Regardless of whether the word "Mortal" is right or wrong, it has always been criticized in the public. Now it is said with great fanfare, and the effect can be imagined. In addition, various jokes criticizing the prince have also spread among the public, and the reputation of the prince in the country has actually plummeted overnight.

The Censorate of Jiangnan East Road was located at the border between Qiantang and Renhe counties. The Censor supervised the political affairs of the whole route. On the surface, he was the chief official of the whole route. This Censor was also a Jinshi during the Jianzhong Jingguo period. Wu Dang then served as county magistrate, prefect, and head of the Ministry of Revenue. When he was old, he thought that his future was hopeless, but he was transferred to the Censor of Jiangnan East Road.

Wu Dang was on the Jiangnan Road, and there was a constraining force on the transfer of transportation. After all, Jiangnan Road and river transportation were the top priority. The food and fodder taxes in the Jiangnan area were loaded from here, so the power was extremely powerful, enough to compete with him, the censor. In addition, there was also a naval government office in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Although the grade was not high, he was also a self-contained official. The layout of the Jiangnan Third Road was no longer what Wu Dang said. This Lord Wu also knew himself and knew that his family had no background, so he simply became a leisurely cloud and wild crane in the court, just to support his old age.

Lord Wu advocates governance by inaction, so he does nothing once he goes to the yamen. He first makes a pot of good tea, and starts to enter into meditation at the yamen. He is like an old monk, and then goes out to make a set of six-way ten-section brocade passed down by Taizu. He wipes his sweat and returns to the yamen to sit.

At noon, after using snacks, he had to prepare for a nap. Wu Dang's schedule was very regular and meticulous, but before he got up, a disciple informed him that the envoy Jin Shaowen and Jin had arrived.

This Lord Jin was once Cai Jing's pawn, and it is said that he had offended the Auxiliary King. For this reason, there were really few people on Jiangnan Road who dared to deal with him. However, this Lord Jin was lucky. The Auxiliary King defeated Cai Jing and his son, but ignored this Lord Jin.

When Wu Dang heard Jin Shaowen coming, he frowned and said lightly: "Call him in and speak."

Jin Shaowen seemed much older than before. When he came in, he didn't care when he saw Wu Dang's cold expression. Over the years, since Cai Jing fell, he had already suffered a lot of rejection. Liu San was rolled around everywhere, and even the next prefect dared to face him coldly, and Jin Shaowen could only smile bitterly.

"Why is Lord Jin coming? Let's sit down."

Since he was an official on the same road, Wu Dang should be polite or be polite and ordered: "Give tea."

Jin Shaowen sat down and said, "How has Mr. Wu been caring for his health recently?"

Wu Dang smiled faintly: "It's not a question of how to maintain your health, it's just that I have learned a few tricks. Lord Jin will not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. If you have anything, it's okay."

Jin Shaowen stopped talking and said, "I have received many reports from the jail office in the past few days that the weekly magazines are becoming less and less rude. Jin was unwilling to care about the weekly magazines. When he used to scold Li Bangyan and scolded the current Yang Zhenyang, the court didn't say anything. What else do we say. But now..." Jin Shaowen lowered his voice, took out a cut article from his sleeve, and handed it over to Wu Dang and said, "Let's see, is this still reasonable? Even the secrets of the palace dare to talk nonsense, involving the prince of the state. We can still stand by. If this weekly magazine was spread to Bianjing and to Your Highness the Prince, what would the Prince of the Crown Prince think? At this point, aren't these people afraid of the king's law?"

When Wu Dang heard this, his eyebrows became heavy. After looking at the cut article, his face was unstable. This kind of thing is big or small. To put it in big, it is called criticism of the palace, and it is necessary to be beheaded. But to put it in small, this is just a scholar who is unrestrained and talks nonsense, and just a few warnings.

"Which weekly magazine was published?"

Jin Shaowen said: "It's called Jiangnan Weekly."

Wu Danghe nodded: "This Jiangnan Weekly is so brave. Doesn't the people in this week even have reviewed it, and dare to spread such things?"

Jin Shaowen said: "I am also concerned about this. Among them, this article is bold and bold. Not only these, but almost all the newspapers of the major residences are exactly the same. They criticize the prince's words and deeds. Some people even say something randomly that Yi Qiu has a king, which is not as good as Huaxia's nothing. What is this? The words of Saint Kong's words were distorted to this point by these people. Do they want to welcome the Khitans and the Xixia people to come to the Song Dynasty to make the decision?"

Wu Dang's face suddenly changed. He was not shocked by these words, but Jin Shaowen's word "Xixia". Although Wu Dang was incompetent, he was not stupid. After thinking about it carefully, he knew the secret hidden in the sentence "Yiqiu's "Your Lord" is not as good as "Huaxia".

"Western Xia...Western Xia... Could it be..."

Jin Shaowen ignored Wu Dang. Perhaps he felt that the situation was too serious and continued: "In addition to these, the Tizheng Department also knew that not long ago, a group of merchants, famous scholars, aristocratic families and even monks and Taoists gathered in Hangzhou. I don't know what they said, but there are so many people, including officials who have stepped down and merchants, who are not talking about poetry or business. Is it because they have other intentions?"

Wu Dang's face was gloomy and he looked at Jin Shaowen deeply: "What do Lord Jin want?"

Jin Shaowen said: "Take a few first offenders, take what should be taken, and punish what should be punished, so let the stings see."

Wu Dang laughed and said lightly: "It is common for scholars to be more unrestrained. They will punish them for a few trivial matters. I am afraid that the discussion will be raging. Lord Tixing just thinks they laugh and don't take it seriously." Wu Dang pondered for a while and said: "I don't have to worry about this matter anyway, I don't support it anyway."

Seeing this, Jin Shaowen showed disappointment and had to get up and say goodbye.

Wu Dang showed a little sarcasm on his face and cursed at Jin Shaowen's back: "Do you really think I am a fool? Be this scapegoat for you. Come..."

A marquis of O'Shi was at the door and said, "Here."

"You heard what you said just now?"

"I heard what I said to you."

"Then you go to the Haizheng Office and tell Lord Zeng all these words, so don't miss a single word."

"yes."

"And... In the future, the man surnamed Jin will block my husband from coming back and tell him that I will not be able to come again."

"yes."

After Wu Dang finished giving the order, he relaxed and picked up the cut article for a while. He couldn't help but say, "For such a big battle, it seems that Suzhou and Hangzhou are also troublesome. I don't know when it will rain after the sky clears. How can I eat this old bone so hard?"

After saying that, I went to take a nap for a while. When I woke up, someone reported that His Highness's ship was approaching Suzhou and Hangzhou and would arrive early tomorrow morning. Lord Zeng from the Haizheng Yamen came to ask about the greeting.

Wu Dangsu said: "Of course, please let Lord Zeng decide everything."
