Wudang Mountain.

Eunuch Wang acted as an uninvited guest. "I didn't expect that the Wudang Mountain was so beautiful, and these manors were built even more beautiful. No wonder the prime minister was happy here."

Li Chao waved, "Don't call me a prime minister, I'm no longer a prime minister."

"Duke Zhao, Your Majesty asked me to tell me that the position of the Shangshu Order has always been kept for Duke Zhao."

Li Chao exposed him bluntly, "Where do you start with this? After I left my post, did Your Majesty ask Duke Jiang to take over the position of Shangshu Ling? He was almost three months old. Then Duke Song took over again. Although he didn't take it for half an hour, he was the third Shangshu Ling. How could he say that this position has been kept?"

"Also, Your Majesty originally asked Duke Wei and others to take over, but no one was willing to accept it. So it's empty, right?"

The eunuch Wang was not angry when he was exposed in person.

"Now that the position of Shangshu Ling is vacant, Your Majesty still hopes that Mr. Zhao will go back and take over. Only you are the most suitable."

"I'm quite satisfied with my current life." Li Chao still refused.

Li Chao called Eunuch Wang to sit down and asked the servants to make two portions of flour.

"Two more radish and pork rib soup."

The mixing powder is very simple, and it is smooth and refreshing with some pickled cabbage and fried beans. The cold mixing powder and a soup made by simmering it slowly over low heat with charcoal and a clay pot are the most suitable.

Pick up the chopsticks and stir a bowl of flour first. After the ingredients were mixed well, Li Chao started to eat it in big mouthfuls.

Eunuch Wang looked at the mixed flour that looked a bit like the mixed sauce noodles, and stirred it without hesitation.

Li Chao ate a lot of sips, and the flour was not hot and there was no soup. He could eat it in big mouthfuls. After a few big mouthfuls and a bowl of flour was eaten, then he slowly started to drink the radish and rib soup.

"Eunuch Wang, after you go back, please tell your Majesty a few good things and let your Majesty unblock the Banyuetan and Times."

"I can't help with this."

"It's okay, I have a memorial here, just present it to Your Majesty for me."

After eating the noodles and drinking the soup, Eunuch Wang returned in vain.

Yuliangzhou.

In the palace, after hearing the eunuch Wang’s return, Li Shimin’s face was not very good-looking.

Giving him face like this, he still refused to come back.

"Your Majesty, this is the memorial of Duke Zhao."

Li Shimin took it and wrote the memorandum about the investigation of the newspaper.

"It is better to prevent people than to prevent rivers. It is better to be dispersed than to be blocked in the world!"

Li Chao's memorial begins with these two sentences.

Li Chao bluntly pointed out that the emperor's behavior of banning newspapers was wrong, and then proposed a management method.

Establish a press and publishing review system. In the future, whenever newspapers and books are published, they should first register with the court, and the contents are reviewed by the court. After approval, the book number and version number can be given before they can be published and printed.

The publication and printing of newspapers and books must be fair and objective. We must not attack the court, spread false news, slander other people's reputation, etc.

There are many restrictions. The area that was not directly supervised in the past was included in the supervision of the court. In the future, printing items must be published, and the royalties must be paid according to the number of printed copies. The more the number of printed copies, the more taxes it will be.

Seeing this scattered advice, Li Shimin was a little surprised.

He was indeed dissatisfied with the newspapers with such great influence and controlled them in private hands, especially the Banyuetan and Times and the Li Chao family industry, so he directly seized them this time.

But now Li Chao’s suggestion is indeed good.

There is no need to seize so directly, but manage. Just like Li Chao's style, the court is in a management position in specific affairs, rather than directly participating in the operation.

The same is true for newspapers today. The court does not operate directly, but supervises it.

How to publish and how to make it bigger and stronger is the newspaper’s own business. Even if no one sees bankruptcy and closing the door, it is their own business. The court is only responsible for supervision.

Review newspapers and publications to ensure that there will be no undeniable remarks.

Seeing this comprehensive suggestion, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh. Li Chao was still so considerate and capable. Unfortunately, this guy is completely placing his picks and refuses to return to the court.

"Your Majesty, why don't the old slave go to Wudang Mountain to persuade Duke Zhao again?"

"Forget it, Li Chao really doesn't want to come back. At least he won't come back in the past or two years. Since that's the case, I won't force it, let him go." He said a little lonely.

On the same day, the prime ministers under the Secretariat received a memorandum of news and publication management forwarded by the palace.

Fang Xuanling and several other prime ministers were all very amazed after watching it.

"This is good. Nowadays, the more convenient it is. As long as you want, anyone can run a newspaper, and anyone can engrave and publish books, making it complicated. There are all kinds of bold remarks, which is really chaotic. With this, it would be great. If you want to run a newspaper, you must first apply for a number. If you want to engrave a book, you must first apply for a book number and pass it. Moreover, the specific content must be reviewed and approved by the court. If there is any non-compliance, you must modify it."

"The people in the world who have been saved are misled."

"Who wrote this memorial? It's so sharp and sharp, and it's so amazing." Du Ruhui exclaimed.

"It was presented to Your Majesty by Duke Zhao." The Secretariat Secretary Zhu Suiliang said.

The prime ministers were quiet.

The emperor granted the newspaper from the Li family, and then Li Chao, who had already resigned and was idle at home, submitted such a memorial to the emperor. After reading it, the emperor actually agreed?

Shouldn’t the emperor have a bad relationship with Li Chao now?

Before, the emperor went directly to the Secretariat and the Privy Council and dispatched troops to seal the Li family newspaper. Didn’t he behave very hard? Many people thought that the emperor and Li Chao had a quarrel, and the emperor wanted to teach Li Chao a lesson.

For this reason, even Li Jing resigned angrily.

Why can Li Chao, who has no official position now, even hand over the emperor directly to the emperor, and after seeing it, he even adopted it immediately?

What is the difference between Li Chao in Wudang Mountain and Xiangyang? It seems that he can also go to the heaven to listen to whether he is a prime minister or not.

a long time.

Fang Xuanling said with great relief, "Good, good!"

At the emperor's instruction, the subordinates of the Secretariat handled the matter very quickly. On that day, under the Ministry of Rites of the Secretariat, there was an additional yamen, the Printing and Services Administration, which was responsible for managing the publishing, distribution, review and management of newspapers and books.

The two editors of the Banyuetan and the Times were interviewed by this new yamen that day.

The two editors directly filled out the application materials in the yamen, and then handled the special matters and reviewed and stamped them on the same day, awarded them the issue number, business license and other procedures.

After a batch of procedures, the seals on the gates of the two newspapers were torn off, and the soldiers guarding were also withdrawn.

The editor-in-chief of the two newspapers gathered the anxious editors. The reporters came back and brought in many fireworks and firecrackers, which were known to everyone from a distance.

"The newspaper office has been unblocked!"

"Yes, I really couldn't imagine."

The editors of the newspaper stood at the door and loudly announced to the onlookers that the court had been unblocked, and they had officially registered with the court, had business licenses, and had obtained the issue number. Well, they would not ban the publication in the future.

"Tomorrow, we will resume the publication of newspapers."

The newspaper began to organize articles, and at this time, someone came from the yamen.

The person who came from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Rites and Services Administration.

"Editor Chen, we came to settle in at the order of our superiors. Please help us prepare a room. Please submit the sample manuscripts from your newspaper to us in advance for review. We will review them here directly and try not to waste your time."

This attitude surprised the editor-in-chief.

"Thank you for your understanding and help. This will be great. Don't worry about affecting the publication and publication."

The unblocking of the Banyuetan and the Times also surprised the officials in the court.

Everyone was wondering whether Li Chao was going back to the court.

The government and the country were amazed at Li Chao.

Duke Zhao is awesome.

He forced himself to the emperor and resigned directly, angering the emperor. The two newspapers under his name were sealed. As a result, the emperor finally unblocked it again.

After all this, the emperor finally gave in to Duke Zhao.

Duke Zhao is so compatible.

Imperial College.

Kong Yingda and Lu Deming were having tea and chatting.

"I have carefully read the newly issued publication review regulations by the court, and I am very far-sighted. His Majesty's ban on two newspapers before was heartbreaking. This newspaper has enlightenment, but it can also reflect public opinion and supervise the court. What a good thing this is. It is said that it is a civil censor. His Majesty's order was forcibly sealed. What's the difference between this and banning people?"

"It is better to prevent people than to prevent rivers. This is a lesson that has been learned. Fortunately, Your Majesty was able to obey advice and immediately issued this regulation. Now, it is great. It not only gives the people a normal way to reflect the people's sentiments and supervise the court, but also allows the court to better manage the public opinion in the world, killing two birds with one stone, which is perfect."

Lu Deming nodded, "Duke Zhao is very talented, Your Majesty follows advice as he hears his mistakes, and he will correct his mistakes as soon as he knows it. He is wise!"

"It's a pity that Duke Zhao still refused to return to the court, and the court suffered a great loss."

Under the Secretary of the Central Committee.

The right servant Sheyu Wenshi and the Minister of Personnel Yang Gongren were together.

"I was puzzled. Li Chao was no longer in the court or in the center, but he could still give his majesty a memorial at any time. His Majesty actually advised him with advice. Li Chao, if he offended His Majesty in this way, his Majesty could still tolerate him."

Yang Gongren shook his head helplessly. Those who have been in the officialdom for the rest of their lives cannot see through the special situation between Li Chao and the emperor, the emperor.

"I want to say that the influence of the past half month and the Times is too great, and it can easily manipulate the direction of public opinion, but such a large source of public opinion belongs to Li Chao. This is too dangerous, and the court should not lift the seal this time. Even if the ban is lifted, it cannot be handed over to Li Chao. Such a powerful thing must be in the hands of the court even if it is allowed to exist."

"What Yang Xiang said makes sense. I am going to submit a memorial to His Majesty and ask the court to acquire these two newspapers, and the court will send officials to be responsible for the management. Is Yang Xiang willing to sign with me?" Yu Wenshu asked.

"No problem, I'm the only one." Yang Gongren nodded.

The memorial was first presented to the prince of the regent.

After reading it, Chengqian rejected it without hesitation.

A copy of the memorial was presented to Li Shimin's case, and the prince's handling result was also delivered.
