Chapter nine hundred and ninety eight: aftermath

"This is the power of propaganda!" Li Ze looked at Chen Wenliang and said. "The role he can play is sometimes no worse than a brave and warlike army."

Chen Wenliang nodded repeatedly. The power displayed by the Tang Dynasty Weekly this time made the entire Wuyi court look at it with admiration. Judging from the situation feedback from the southern spy detectives, the Tang Dynasty Weekly played a crucial role in the fermentation of the incidents such as the death of the Supreme Emperor, the assassination of Li Ze, and the authenticity of Li Ke.

Now ordinary people in the south generally believe in the things published in the Tang Dynasty Weekly.

Compared with the Guangzhou small court, the spread of the Tang Dynasty weekly newspaper was too fast. Before Xiang Xun could react, the people were already in a panic. The subsequent series of tough measures such as arrests, bans and beheading proved the authenticity of these things from another aspect.

If it is not true, why did you react so much?

"Li Xiang, the power of newspapers is so great that his subordinates also feel that their supervision is strengthened. Now, in addition to the Tang Dynasty Weekly, there are three other types of newspapers in Wuyi alone, and Shandong and Zhejiang have also owned their own newspapers. Through this incident, the power of newspapers will be known to more people. Next, there will probably be more and more bamboo shoots after a rain. We do not have corresponding regulations on this, that is, anyone can run a newspaper. There must be many people with ulterior motives who intend to compete with us for the hearts of the people. Although they cannot make a big wave, they have to be careful."

"you mean?"

"In the past, the supervision of the Datang Weekly was managed by his subordinates, but then, I'm afraid his subordinates would not be able to do this well, so he believed that it would be better to become a special department to do this. He believed that in the future, newspapers could not only become our mouthpiece, but also become a powerful weapon to promote the development of the industry, and also a powerful weapon to promote the wisdom of the people. They must be in our hands and let them develop and regulate according to our wishes." Chen Wenliang said.

Li Ze nodded with relief. This was the first time Chen Wenliang had made his own suggestions and ideas clearly on some major events. This was a good thing. As his personal secretary and the second-ranked figure in the Secretary-General, there is no doubt that he will become an important political figure in the Tang Dynasty in the future. Just like Zhang Xun, he has now become a governor in the province.

Chen Wenliang and Zhang Xun's background are completely different. Zhang Xun was born into a famous scholar, and Lao Zhang Hui himself was an important figure in the Tang Dynasty and an indispensable right-hand man around Li Ze. Therefore, when Zhang Xun was by Li Ze, he always dared to think, speak, and dared to take responsibility. Chen Wenliang was born in poverty and was cautious, and always adhered to the code of conduct that it is better to do more than to say more. For a secretary, this is a good character, but it is not a good thing for his future development.

"Which department should hand this matter over to the supervisor?" Li Ze asked.

"I think it's better to hand it over to the Ministry of Rites!" Chen Wenliang said: "A special news department is established to review the establishment and distribution of newspapers."

"You're very reasonable. Let me leave this matter to you to contact Mr. Zhang!" Li Ze said.

"I'm afraid I'll ask Shangshu Chunyu to discuss it together. This also involves new regulations. There were no relevant laws before!" Chen Wenliang suggested.

Li Ze nodded: "You can do this matter."

"Yes!" Chen Wenliang turned around and prepared to leave Li Ze's general secretary.

"Go and see if Mr. Gongsun is back? If he comes back, let him come to my place!" Li Ze ordered.

During this period, Gongsun Changming was very busy.

He was dealing with all the aftermath of the Zhenzhou incident. Li Ze could not interfere in these darker things, and only Gongsun Changming was the only one who dared to take charge and did not fear doing this and could fully trust Li Ze.

Gongsun Changming, who was engraved, was talking to someone.

And this person's identity is considered to be the most noble person in the Tang Dynasty's current status.

She is Zheng, the widow of the Supreme Emperor.

The Zheng clan had no favoritism for Li Ze. Li Yan's first empress committed suicide in Huguan due to silent oppression by Li Ze. After arriving in Zhenzhou, Xiao Zheng married the emperor as a successor. This was the Zheng clan's desire to continue his glory, and it was also a way for the Baohuang Tang faction to strengthen its own strength at that time. However, with the Baohuang Tang falling apart over the years and being subdued by Li Ze one by one, Zheng's life was already extremely difficult.

In Wuyi, no one regards Zheng as a dish.

Xiao Zheng herself is a tragic person. When she married Li Yan, Li Yan was already seriously ill. She had a pitiful woman under 20 years old. After she got married, she had been a widow.

At this moment, in front of Gongsun Changming, she was so timid that she had the majesty of the Empress Dowager?

"Empress Dowager, this is what you have to do next. I wonder if you have any other unclear things?" Gongsun Changming said.

"Everyone knows, there will be no mistakes." Xiao Zheng whispered.

"Then I'll be fine!" Gongsun Changming smiled and wanted to bow his hand to say goodbye.

"Mr. Gongsun!" Xiao Zheng suddenly spoke, glanced at Gongsun Changming, but wanted to stop talking.

"If there is anything wrong with the Empress Dowager, you might as well say it out loud!" Gongsun Changming sat down again and looked at Xiao Zheng and said.

"A few days ago, my father came to pay tribute to the emperor, and met me. He said that his family is really difficult now..." Xiao Zheng lowered his head sadly. Such a thing was really hard to say, and it also made her feel very humiliated.

Gongsun Changming nodded suddenly: "I understand, the reason why the Empress Dowager's family is a relative of the foreigners, and she has never been given an official position. She only relies on doing some business to support her family."

"If someone cheated in business, he would almost lose everything!" Xiao Zheng said sadly.

"Empress Dowager, I'll arrange this matter. Do you think it's good?" Gongsun Changming said: "If the Zheng clan arranges it too sharply in this area, it will easily cause criticism. The empress dowager also knows that the court now has a strict system for the appointment of officials, and there are really no ones in the Zheng clan who can meet the requirements."

"I wonder what sir wants to make arrangements?" Zheng was overjoyed when he heard Gongsun Changming let go. Seeing her father's head turned pale a few days ago, she was sad but had no choice but to do anything. It is necessary to know that she is relying solely on people's support now. Now that Li Yan is dead, she feels that she will be unable to protect herself in the future.

"Does the Queen Mother know about Goryeo?" Gongsun Changming said.

"Goryeo? This is too far away, right? And it's a barbarian land!" Xiao Zheng was disappointed.

"The Queen Mother, Goryeo is very different from other barbarian countries. The nobles of the country all speak Tang dialect and learn Tang characters, which is not very different from the Tang people. Now the imperial court has established the Governor's Office in Goryeo, and Gu Han is my subordinate. Gu Han used to be my subordinate, and he has a bit of incense. It is better to let the Zheng family move to Goryeo. Now there is a large number of Tang people filling the Governor's Office. In the past, it was easy for the Zheng family to obtain better positions without attracting the attention of others. More importantly, there is no way to know the true identity of the Zheng family, as long as the Zheng family does not promote it." Gongsun Changming said meaningfully.

Xiao Zheng's heart beat faster.

"And the Tang people have a very high status in Goryeo. Even if they do business, they will definitely be able to make a fortune." Gongsun Changming smiled.

"That's safe?"

"The Tang Dynasty stationed 5,000 troops in the capital of Goryeo, and also set up a military port in Incheon, with a navy stationed!" Gongsun Changming said.

"Then go to Goryeo, please let me make an arrangement!" Xiao Zheng stood up, and bowed to Gongsun Changming regardless of his superiority.

Gongsun Changming quickly avoided, looked at Xiao Zheng, and lowered his voice and said, "Empress Dowager, when the Zheng clan gains a firm foothold in Goryeo in the future, even the empress dowager can go. At that time, he will hide his name and stay away from the Central Plains. Who can know who the empress dowager is? The empress dowager is in full bloom, so how can she accompany the ancient Buddha of Qinglantern to spend her whole life?"

When Xiao Zheng heard this, his face turned pale.

"Is this what Lee Sang meant?"

"It mainly depends on the empress dowager's meaning. We will have to work hard in the past two years. If the empress dowager intends to leave in the future, just say it, Gongsun will definitely arrange it without any leakage!" Gongsun Changming bowed, "The empress dowager is thinking slowly. Anyway, there are still two years left, so there is no need to rush for a while."

Looking at Gongsun Changming's back, Xiao Zheng was in a state of confusion.

She was burdened by her family and married Li Yan. She spent many years with a living dead person. Now she is only over twenty years old. Her best outcome in the future is just as Gongsun Changming said, accompanying the ancient Buddha of Qinglantern forever. When she thinks of the long lonely and helpless years in the future, it makes people shudder. If she could leave?

She was really excited.

If Li Ze became the emperor, he would really be able to leave, as long as Li Ze was willing to let him go.

She suddenly understood why Gongsun Changming had arranged for the Zheng family to go to remote places like Goryeo. If she was a little unwilling to do so before, now she was a little impatient.

Who would like to let their youth disappear in vain?

As for what Gongsun Changming said in one or two years, it would naturally take one or two years for Li Ze to sit in that position openly. Before that, whether she or the little emperor Li Ke, they all needed to sit here to support the storefront for Li Ze.

He calmly comforted Xiao Zheng, and Gongsun Changming arrived at the main hall of another palace again. Where was there a serious puppet waiting for him to talk.

The former Fukugawa, under the powerful propaganda offensive of the Wuyi court, has been recognized by almost everyone in the world as the genuine Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke. The official in Guangzhou is considered a fake.
