Chapter 413 Tang Feng

"Okay, I understand this matter in my heart. Please step aside for now." Lu Zhaoci thought for a while, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, but his expression was extremely relaxed. When Cen Wenwen and others saw this, their expressions changed.

They were secretly surprised and curious, but it was difficult to ask. They could only suppress the curiosity in their hearts, looked at each other, stood up, bowed to Lu Zhaoci, and slowly exited Xuande Hall.

"Qin Jiudao, go and call Cui Haoran in." Lu Zhaoci thought for a while and said to Qin Jiudao beside him.

"Yes." Qin Jiudao looked stunned, nodded quickly, and went to find Lu Zhao without saying anything.

"My lords, your majesty is not a reckless person, but he is definitely not a person who shrinks when he sees difficulties. Your majesty has already raised this matter. I think your majesty will soon make up his mind to conquer Goguryeo. We'd better do it earlier.

Well prepared." Outside Xuande Hall, Cen Wenwen called everyone and said.

"Yes, I'm afraid His Majesty has already made up his mind to conquer Goguryeo. He just stopped temporarily because of my persuasion." Changsun Wuji showed a wry smile on his face. The other ministers also nodded. These people

I have followed Lu Zhaoci for a long time, and I have been in the center for a long time. How come I don’t understand what the emperor thinks. For some small things, maybe after everyone’s persuasion, Lu Zhaoci did it without hesitation, such as Lu Zhaoci’s recent request to accept the Princess of Silla as his concubine.

Lu Zhaoci agreed without hesitation, but once something big happened, no matter how much everyone tried to dissuade him, it was impossible to shake Lu Zhaoci's determination. For example, in this matter, although Lu Zhaoci temporarily drove everyone away

He came out and did not continue to ask about the matter, but everyone understood that this kind of thing could not be covered up for long, and Lu Zhaoci would still continue to carry out his plan. What was missing in the conquest of Goguryeo was an opportunity and an excuse.

That's all. I believe that as long as Lu Zhaoci makes a decision, this kind of confidence and excuse will appear soon. At that time, Xuande Dian will have no choice but to act according to Lu Zhaoci's idea. Even Wei Zheng, who is good at giving advice, shook his head at this time

, no matter how many times he wrote to Lu Zhaoci about this matter, or even if he blocked Lu Zhaoci, he could not change Lu Zhaoci's mind, because Lu Zhaoci wanted to be an emperor through the ages, and he wanted to establish achievements that could not be surpassed by future emperors.

So no one stopped him.

"If we are going to conquer Goguryeo, food, grass, and equipment will be a big problem. We need to prepare as soon as possible. Otherwise, if necessary in the future, it may be difficult to solve it in a hurry." Du Ruhui nodded and said, "Just this.

time to use these things. On the one hand, it is a long way to Zhuojun. It cannot be transported to Zhuojun within half a year. It also requires a lot of manpower and material resources. In this case, the news will inevitably be exposed, and it will easily spread among the people.

The panic caused, you all must be aware of it. More than ten years have passed, but the Liaodong incident is still in the minds of the people. Once they know that Liaodong is being conquered again, it will not be good."

"There are also soldiers who have just experienced a big war and went to the grassland. That is because the Central Plains Dynasty, since the Sui Dynasty, has won the war on the grassland. The Weihuo incident has always been regarded as the highest priority by those warriors.

Honor, conquering the grasslands and defeating foreign tribes can bring them honor, but after hearing about conquering Liaodong, not only will they not be happy, I'm afraid they will be more panicked." Fang Xuanling showed a wry smile on his lips.

"Yes, these are all problems. Unfortunately, Your Majesty also has His Majesty's considerations. Now the only hope is that Silla can start the war later, or can sustain it longer." Cen Wenwen shook his head. Now Lu Zhaoci wants to conquer Goguryeo.

, the best excuse is that there was a war between the three kingdoms of Silla, and Datang received Silla's request for help, so it is natural for the Tang army to march into the Three Kingdoms of Silla. It is conceivable that once Silla marries Datang, it will have Jin Yuxin

Silla, with such a famous general, will definitely not be able to restrain its ambitions. The first target of attack will definitely be Baekje. The smoke on the Silla Peninsula has ignited again, and the Tang Dynasty, which has just calmed down, will also be involved. Lu Zhao

Ci's wish has come true, but what should these ministers do? Thinking of this, Cen Wenwen's face became even more bitter. If he had known this earlier, he should not have encouraged Emperor Zhenguan to accept Princess Silla as his concubine.

.In the final analysis, everyone in the Tang Dynasty underestimated Silla’s ambitions.

"I'm afraid that the chief assistant has guessed wrong on this point. Maybe at this time, the Silla Peninsula has already fallen into the flames of war. No matter how powerful Silla is, it is impossible to withstand the attacks of Baekje and Goguryeo." Fang Xuanling

He shook his head and said: "Although Silla is a vassal state of our dynasty, it will never change due to changes in our dynasty. Their established policy will not change."

"Look, that's Cui Haoran. Minister, why don't you ask him about Silla's situation, so you can be prepared?" Wei Ting suddenly pointed at a figure on the other side of Longwei Road and said. Everyone looked over, and sure enough,

Is it Cui Haoran who has just returned from his mission to Silla? Ask him about the situation in Silla, and you may be able to better estimate the time when the war between the three kingdoms of Silla broke out.

"No need, your Majesty is about to summon him." Cen Wenwen shook his head and said, "Besides, there is nothing to ask. General Su Dingfang has already told us what we really want to ask about."

"Summoned by Your Majesty?" Changsun Wuji was stunned when he heard this. After a while, he shook his head and said, "It seems that His Majesty has made up his mind." Everyone nodded after hearing this. Cui Haoran is just a doctor, even if he can do it this time

He was promoted to a minister, but there were all the bachelors of Xuandeok Palace present. Even the ordinary servants had to be careful when meeting the bachelors of Xuande Palace. They would not take him seriously at all. When Cui Haoran went to Silla, the first person he wanted to meet was the Minister of Rites.

, then the Minister of Rites led him to see the Grand Scholar of Xuande Hall. As for whether he could see His Majesty the Emperor, it depends on the size of the matter. Normally, you would not see His Majesty the Emperor at all, but this time Emperor Zhenguan actually summoned him in person.

This shows that the other party's status in the heart of Emperor Zhenguan was, of course, only because the other party was sent as an envoy to Silla. It seems that the emperor really decided to use force against Silla. Using the army at this time, for the Tang Dynasty,

I really don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing. Changsun Wuji calls himself smart, but when it comes to this kind of thing, he has no choice. He can only look at Cen Wenwen for help. Little did he know that Cen Wenwen also frowned, obviously

There was no other way, and my heart felt even colder.

"Everyone, you should find a way to appease the people and eliminate the fear of Liaodong in the army." Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and said: "Please ask the general to take action. At this time, I am afraid that only the general will be the most appropriate. If this expedition is

The general's leadership also has a certain inspiring effect on the morale of the army."

"That's all it can do." Fang Xuanling nodded, but as for Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, he had no idea whether this brand was effective at this time. He thought back to the time when he was in the Sui Dynasty.

, among the millions of soldiers and horses under Yang Guang's command, they are all brave and famous, including Mai Tiezhang and other fierce generals. These people have been tested on the battlefield for a long time. It is this kind of people who have so many troops, but they are all defeated in the end.

In the land of Liaodong, we can see the cruelty of the Liaodong War. Until now, the officials of the imperial court are still filled with fear. Even they themselves are full of fear about the situation in Liaodong, not to mention other people.

If you are afraid yourself, how can you make others not afraid?

"Your Majesty, Cui Haoran, will show you that your Majesty will live forever." Cui Haoran was very nervous. Since he became an official, Cui Haoran has never seen Lu Zhaoci alone. At the great court meeting, among the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, there were countless people wearing red and purple clothes.

There were ten people, including princes and so on, so it was not the doctor's turn to see the emperor, so when he saw Lu Zhaoci at this time, his expression was extremely respectful, and he was even more nervous in the respect.

"Get up." Lu Zhaoci waved his hand and stared at Cui Haoran for a long time, until cold sweat broke out on Cui Haoran's face. Fang smiled and said: "I heard that Cui Qing is a famous talent in the Ministry of Rites. You were born in the imperial examination in the sixth year of Zhenguan.

Han clan, you could have been ranked second in the rankings, but you failed to get ranked in the second class. You are lucky, and you were recruited as the son-in-law by the Xie family, so you have the position of doctor today." Lu Zhaoci said with a smile, short

In just a few words, the details of Cui Haoran were explained clearly in an instant. However, Cui Haoran did not feel surprised at all, because he had long heard that there was a special organization in the Tang Dynasty called Jinyiwei, which dealt with everything in the world, no matter how big or small it was.

, they all know.

"I am just lucky enough to achieve what I have today. As for the talk of talented people, I dare not say that. In the Ministry of Rites and under your Majesty's wisdom, there are countless talented people, but I am just a drop in the ocean under your Majesty's rule.

That's all." Cui Haoran said quickly.

"I know whether he is a talented person or not." Lu Zhaoci nodded, obviously very satisfied with Cui Haoran's attitude. He only heard him say: "You have made great achievements in your mission to Silla this time. I am going to let you serve as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites."

Are you willing to take the position of minister?"

"Your Majesty is so kind to you, but I can't even repay you with my body." Cui Haoran was overjoyed when he heard this. It is quite rare to be the minister of the Ministry of Rites in his thirties. Cui Haoran was unhappy and unhappy, so he quickly bowed down.

"It's just that you, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, are different from other places. You have to be prepared for this." Lu Zhaoci calmly took out a piece of white paper from the imperial desk in front of him, handed it to Cui Haoran and said, "Tell me

What do you think about this matter?"

Cui Haoran felt excited in his heart. Although he didn't know what was different about what Lu Zhaoci said, he absolutely believed that this was different. I'm afraid it was really different. When he took the blank paper, he saw that it was white.

There are many words written on the paper, but they are divided into many parts according to different uses. For example, there are court laws, current affairs, national geography, folk customs and scenery, etc. Of course, what surprised Cui Haoran the most is that in

Above the white paper, there are two big characters "Tang Feng".

"This kind of thing is called a newspaper. It is different from the imperial newspaper." Lu Zhaoci explained: "The imperial newspaper is to spread the secret or semi-confidential information of the imperial court, and this Tang Feng specializes in publishing some information about the imperial court that can be made public.

I call it a newspaper that is dynamic and guides the people of the Tang Dynasty. I think it is the mouthpiece of the imperial court. Your job as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites is to sponsor this Tang style newspaper as the mouthpiece of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, you can also choose

Do it or not. If you don’t do it, I will release you as the governor of a state to reward you for your contribution this time. But if you choose to do it, I’m afraid you won’t be promoted in ten years. Ten years later,

Maybe you can be the Minister of Rites. In ten years, you can enter the Xuande Hall."

"Tang Feng?" Cui Haoran opened his eyes wide and swallowed involuntarily. This is a new thing. Once it succeeds, it will naturally become famous, but similarly, once it fails, it may be irreversible. Cui Haoran's heart instantly

Just think about whether you should do this or not.

"I am willing to be the right minister of the Ministry of Rites." Cui Haoran thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said. He understood that although the governor of a state is very prestigious, if he refuses Lu Zhaoci's request this time, he may be the governor of a state for the rest of his life.

There is no chance of promotion anymore. Although it may be risky to preside over this Tang-style newspaper, the benefits are also huge. What a glory it is to be in charge of the mouthpiece of the empire. There is also the opportunity to enter the Xuande Hall and become a bachelor. Then

But Cui Haoran, one of the top people in the empire, strengthened his thoughts when he thought of this.

"Not bad." Lu Zhaoci nodded with satisfaction. Cui Haoran was selected not only because of his talent, but most importantly because of his ability. Everything in Silla is remarkable and he can serve as a supervisory mouthpiece.

The person's ability is to serve the empire. He is so versatile in what he says, but he sticks to his principles. That's fine.

"You can carefully understand the matter of the newspaper." Lu Zhaoci thought for a while and then said: "The layout of it can be arranged according to what I wrote on it. Haha, I know that if I rely on you alone, I will definitely

It's impossible to do this. However, I heard that there are many literati and scholars in Chang'an City. They all gather in Chang'an City. Chang'an is so big that it is not easy to live there. You can give it some credit based on what they wrote.

In this way, you can ask them to write for you. You mainly need to check whether what they write is correct and whether it is in the interests of the empire. You have to consider anything that is not good for the empire. For major matters, you can

It's okay to inform Mr. Cen or come to see me. Another point is that the role of Tang Feng is to let ordinary people understand the court, understand the rules and regulations of the court, and understand the general dynamics of the court. People who see Tang Feng do not

They must be scholars, maybe just a businessman, maybe just a trafficker, maybe just a farmer. The biggest characteristic of these people is that they have never read a book, or have read very little. They don’t necessarily have words or profound words.

You can understand it, so Tang Feng's sentences should be concise and easy to understand. That's the best. You want the words above to be understood by the elderly and children, that's fine."

"Ah" Cui Haoran was stunned by Lu Zhaoci's words. He didn't expect that Tang Feng's writing style was like this. In this case, would he still need a talented person like himself to organize this event? Even if he wanted to, I'm afraid that those on the market in Chang'an

No man of letters is willing to write such a thing. When he thought of this, Cui Haoran's joy just now disappeared without a trace. But since he has already accepted this job, if he refuses, let alone the future.

Shangshu, even this right minister, can't keep his position as governor of a state...

"You don't have to worry. Haha, Chang'an is so big that it's not easy to live there. Someone will come forward." Lu Zhaoci said with a smile: "Some time ago, Tang Feng did not charge money for each issue. After one month, every issue will be free of charge."

Tang Feng will charge two copper coins for each period. In this way, Tang Feng's operation will be possible. Look at the last piece of paper. It is for the traders in Chang'an. They can publish news about their shops on it.

To attract customers, hey, this is a good place. Think about it, these newspapers are published all over the world, and I don’t know how many people will read them. The impact is not just on one person. You can tell them that the first two issues are free.

, the latter will be charged, so that Tang Feng can generate a certain amount of money while maintaining operation. In this way, Tang Feng can truly exist." Lu Zhaoci continued to guide with a smile.

.These things are an earth-shattering thing in today's world, but in later generations, they are extremely common. Why newspapers can continue to operate? On the one hand, it is certainly the cost of buying newspapers, but more importantly, it is the cost of buying newspapers.

Among them, the cost of advertising. Nowadays, because of Lu Zhaoci, printing technology has been greatly developed. The money required to print a newspaper is not much at all. It is conceivable that in a short period of time, once the advertisement

The effects produced have been reflected, and Tang Feng's development is conceivable. Therefore, Lu Zhaoci does not have to worry about future matters at all, not to mention, Tang Feng's existence is only for better and faster realization of Lu Zhaoci's plan.

That's all.

"Your Majesty, once Tang Feng earns a lot of profits, businessmen will rush to imitate him. What should we do then?" Cui Haoran actually does not approve of this method in his heart, but since he has accepted this job, he can only continue to do it.

, and then I asked according to what I was thinking.

"Legislation." Lu Zhaoci nodded approvingly and said: "Control other newspapers according to the laws of the imperial court. These newspapers are not allowed to publish news that is not beneficial to the imperial court without permission. Violators will be held responsible for the founders of the newspapers.

Tang Feng has the right to supervise other newspapers, and as for others, he will not interfere."
