As night fell slowly, Wen Yanbo half-closed his eyes, listening to the melodious singing of the singer.

Wen Jifu quietly walked to him and knelt down.

"What happened?" Wen Yanbo asked.

"Sir..." Wen Jifu handed a tabloid that still smelled of ink to Wen Yanbo's hand.

"This is a tabloid that suddenly appeared today..."

Wen Yanbo didn't read the content, but just asked: "It's just a tabloid, is there anything special about it?"

Wen Jifu said: "Sir...it is printed..."

"Printed?" Wen Yanbo immediately sat up.

He is so familiar with the tabloids!

Because tabloids appeared and became popular after the Qingli period.

Tabloids are generally handwritten and in small quantities, so at first they will only appear in the tiles and hooks of Bianjing City - only these places where people gather will spend money to buy news in order to attract business or maintain popularity.

Some tabloids are even supported by the big shots behind the tiles.

For example, behind the tiles of the Sang family, there are the shadows of the Yang family, the Cao family, and the figure of Dauchi Da Diao Dang.

Therefore, the tabloids at the beginning first appeared in Wazi and tick columns.

Then it was copied out by hand and taken outside. It became a topic of conversation for the citizens of Bianjing in their spare time, and it was also a way for many Cuo Da people to show off their knowledge.

Wen Yanbo picked up the tabloid and looked at it, which was completely different in terms of layout and layout.

There are even tabloids with names.

His pupils suddenly dilated.

"Bianjing New News..." He read the name: "It actually made a sign..."

Feeling the paper again, the quality is average and it is the most common paper in the study shop near Daxiangguo Temple.

Then, Wen Yanbo looked at the writing on the page.

It is indeed not like a handwritten copy. It is somewhat similar to a block print, but it is not as clear and distinct as the block print.

There are still ink marks left between the lines.

Wen Yanbo smiled. He held this Bianjing Newspaper in front of his eyes and read it carefully.

On the first page of the first edition, the full text of the New Testament of Song and Liao Dynasties is written.

This seems to be a covenant that was just finalized this morning, right?

Therefore, it is definitely not engraving, and it is too late to engrave!

Wen Yanbo looked at the content of the Bianjing Newspaper and became more and more interested.

"Sir..." Wen Jifu said from the side: "Look at the review article on the second page..."

Wen Yanbo nodded and separated the pages of the so-called Bianjing New Newspaper with the words "Second Page" arranged vertically in a row, similar to riding a seam.

The title first caught my eye: Hu Feipan, our newspaper’s commentator, said...

Looking at the text again, it is almost vulgar and worthless.

No allusions are used, and even the words are as simple in structure as possible.

The number of strokes can also be as few as possible, and the simplified characters used by calligraphers in the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang dynasties were chosen as much as possible.

But... the content made Wen Yanbo's eyes light up.

Because the so-called commentator named "Hu Feipan", after praising the wise and powerful officials of the Song Dynasty and describing the groveling and subdued envoys of the Liao Dynasty, changed the subject and directly pointed out the future after the implementation of the new treaty between Song and Liao.

In the words of Hu Feipan, "Three million guans a year, if the Liao people get it, they can only buy things from our dynasty..."

'Our porcelain, tea, tea bricks, Sichuan brocade and other exquisite and luxurious things that the Liao people love will definitely be snapped up by the Liao people...'

After reading this so-called "Bianjing New News", Wen Yanbo laughed: "Interesting..."

Wen Jifu squatted in front of Wen Yanbo and asked in a low voice: "Why do you say it's interesting?"

Wen Yanbo said: "Since Renmiao to the present, officials of all dynasties have been extremely afraid of tabloids and have tried every means to avoid prying eyes..."

"But I don't know that this matter is like Dayu's control of floods. It is better to remove them than to block them..."

Wen Jifu looked at Wen Yanbo in confusion.

Wen Yanbo looked at his son who was already so stupid and shook his head. Fortunately, he had looked away.

Relatives...actually, it would be better to be stupider.

Relatives who are too smart will be feared by others.

So, I didn't bother to say anything anymore, I just grabbed the 'Bianjing New News' in my hand, slowly leaned on the cave, and said leisurely: "The future prime ministers will have a headache!"

Now he knows he wants to keep the tabloid in his hands.

When he grows up and takes charge of his own affairs.

Just wait for the ministers to be troubled!

As a former prime minister, Wen Yanbo knew very well that in the Song Dynasty, the imperial power and the power of the prime minister were constantly balancing in a game.

The Renmiao and Yingmiao eras were the pinnacle of prime ministerial power.

Renmiao is governed by arches, while Yingmiao has to be governed by arches.

But the reign of the late emperor, especially the Yuanfeng era, was the pinnacle of imperial power in the Song Dynasty!

The late emperor even invented the ingenious method of asking ministers to pay fines at Funing Hall to strengthen the imperial power.

At the same time, through system design, the power of the prime minister (left prime minister) is less than that of the secondary prime minister (right prime minister).

This further made the prime minister's power completely a tool of imperial power - Wang Gui's name of "Three Edicts" was actually given by the late emperor.

But now that person, no more than Youchong, has already set his sights on the tabloid that can become an auxiliary tool for the imperial power.

They even began to try to master, control, and tame the tabloids.

All I can really say is that they are truly a father and son.

the student surpasses the master!

so……

Every one of the future rulers will not have a good life.

However, what does this have to do with Wen Kuanfu?

Anyway, there will be no more bosses in the Wen family in the next few decades.

…

Han Mansion.

Right Prime Minister Kang Guogong Han Jiang also received a Bianjing Newspaper at this moment.

"Sir..." His grandson Han Bi reported in front of him: "This thing has been spreading throughout the streets and alleys of Bianjing since this afternoon..."

"It is said that someone is spreading..."

"The soldiers in Kaifeng Mansion saw it and didn't dare to take action..."

Han Jiang put down the Bianjing Newspaper after reading it: "Who dares to take care of it?"

"I don't even dare to take care of this matter even if Cai Yuanchang has ten courages!"

Han Jiang didn't know who Cai Jing was before, but he knows it so well now!

Since Han Jiang took office, Cai Jing of Kaifeng Mansion immediately took the initiative to move closer to him.

Whatever Han Jiang wanted to do, Kaifeng Mansion fully cooperated and never shied away from it.

Especially in the adjustment and investigation of in-service laws, Cai Jing personally led people and followed Zhang Hong.

After getting in touch, Han Jiang already knew that Cai Jing's abilities and talents were unparalleled among the younger generation of ministers!

However, at the same time, this official has no ideals and beliefs.

In the past when Cai Que was on stage, Cai Jing was Cai Que's staunchest supporter.

Now it is Han Zihua's turn to be in Taiwan, and Cai Jing is his staunch supporter of Kang Guogong Han Jiang.

Even if Lu Gongzu and Sima Guang come to power in the future, he can still be Lu Gongzu and Sima Guang's right-hand man.

Therefore, if such a person is not promoted, it is unforgivable!

But at the same time, such a person is too terrifying.

Han Jiang was extremely wary of him, and he didn't dare to offend him at will. He was always polite and behaved like a virtuous corporal.

Because Han Jiang knows that she is old.

But his children and grandchildren continue to have official careers.

And for people like Cai Jing, kindness may not be repaid, but revenge will definitely be tasted!
To be continued...
