  Chapter 828 Self-character volume "Yuedan Tan"

  Seeing that the fourth child blocked him from going forward to speak, while the second daughter took the opportunity to leave, the young man became a little anxious, "Fourth brother, I finally..."

"Second brother, why are you so anxious? It's the opposite, and if you are caught by the censor, then you and I will have to be reprimanded. There is no way to let the elder brother laugh at the side, and the old nine is also staring at us now. ..." The young man in purple glanced at the other party, "I arranged for someone to follow, let's see where we are going before we talk."

Only then did the young man turn his anger into joy, "The fourth brother is witty, the eldest brother seems to be very quiet these days, but the ninth brother, hehe, he just held his coming-of-age ceremony this year, and he is about to make a difference? Concubine Mei seems to be very active The day before yesterday, my mother was still saying that Concubine Mei went to the Father's East Study Room to deliver bird's nest soup, and Father was very happy, this Concubine Mei is used to please Father,..."

"It's just a waste of effort. Father now only values ​​two things. One is to help him solve problems in court affairs, and the other is to cultivate his mind and character, and prolong his life. Father has long given up on this kind of desire for words, but It’s just that I didn’t get the cold shoulder because of my heart.” Li Wang smiled contemptuously, “But you and I really should learn how to please the father like Concubine Mei, of course not like giving soup and other boring things,… "

   "Oh?" The young man turned serious, "What do you think?"

"Well, this kind of thing, this poetry meeting, of course we should go, expand the reputation, the more the better, but I feel that my father has been in poor health this year, so I want to focus more on court affairs. If I can help my father Perhaps it would be much better for the emperor to share his worries."

  The young man in purple took a look at his elder brother. Although his elder brother looked suave on the surface, he was not as lustful as outsiders imagined. It was nothing more than to lower the wariness of his elder brother and his mother Xu Huanggui.

But he also knows that this kind of effect may not be very good, but it is better than nothing to resolve the opponent's hostility as much as possible. Anyway, the emperor of the Great Zhou never cared much about this aspect, and it is more about whether you have secured the throne ability.

Emperor Yuanxi was also regarded as the prodigal son of Huajian back then. He once lingered in Huajie and Liuxiang for three days, but he became famous by quelling the Jingxiang refugee chaos. The big case finally won the approval of Emperor Tianping,

In this way, Emperor Yuanxi stood out from the seven sons of his father, Emperor Tianping, and grew up from a concubine to the emperor, but he should have been the successor of course-the son of the late empress of Tianping Emperor, who was also the half-brother of Emperor Yuanxi. It can only end sadly.

  Now my father is deceased and the empress has no heirs, and although Concubine Xu is an imperial concubine, the status of an imperial concubine and empress is not the same.

  At least in the minds of the two brothers, King Fu and King Li, this difference in advantage is negligible, or even negligible. My mother's status in the eyes of my father is not bad, it's nothing more than how old my elder brother was born first.

  The young man in purple is naturally Zhang Ji, the king of rites, whom Feng Ziying has also known, and the seemingly frivolous young man is his compatriot, Zhang Qi, the king of Fu.

"Easier said than done, fourth brother, I see you have some ideas when you say that?" Fu Wang Zhang Qi has already put away some careful thoughts about this matter, and his eyes have become dignified. Lao Jiu came out of the Imperial College and went to Qingtan Academy to study, what do you mean by that?"

Although the Guozijian is now a bit of a formality, and its reputation is far from as grand as it was in the early years, it is an official school after all, including King Shou, King Fu, King Li and King Lu. Examinations crowd out opportunities for ordinary scholars, so studying in the Imperial College is more of a kind of support and friendship.

  But now Lao Jiu has just grown up and is going to study at Qingtan Academy, which is a bit intriguing.

   And Qingtan Academy is not a place to socialize and raise friends. If you don’t have some real talents and learning, you will only become a laughing stock among the best scholars from all walks of life.

  These scholars who have their eyes above the top will not think highly of you just because you are a child of the Tian family. Maybe some self-proclaimed people will use your reputation to step on their way to the top.

"Hmph, what intentions do you have?" Zhang Ji rubbed his chin, "The Guozijian has gone from bad to worse in the past twenty years, and its reputation has been bad. It used to be said that Guozijian is the place where the country stores materials. Now? It must be called the Four Great Academies, and the two north Among them, Qingtan Academy is the most popular, and Qingtan Academy is somewhat different from other academies. I don’t know if you have noticed, but since February this year, Qingtan Academy has imitated the "Internal Reference" run by the Imperial Academy. " also ran a publication called "Yue Dan Tan", and hired Feng Ziying as the honorary editor-in-chief."

""Yuedan Tan"?" Zhang Qi was a little surprised, "If this "Yuedan Tan" imitates "Nei Can", is it to use current politics as a discussion and mission? Well, is it imitating the Yuedan Commentary made by Brother Xu Shao in Runan in the Later Han Dynasty? "

"There should be some meaning in this regard. This publication is a monthly publication, published on the first day of each month. Since it is following the example of "Internal Reference", it must involve current affairs. But I have read two issues, and I have to say that Qingtan Academy still takes care of it. The control is very good, the content discussed is basically something that has been implemented in the current government or is worth discussing,..."

Zhang Ji was thoughtful, "I don't know if it was inspired by that little Feng Xiuzhuan, or Zhou Yongchun's control. In short, this "Yuedan Tan" is very interesting. There are some opinions about the government, mainly local officials. Suggestions and suggestions on some current affairs and policies, as well as discussions on some of the policies of the six ministries, it is said that only two issues were published, each with only two to three hundred copies, but the six ministries and the prefectures of Northern Zhili, and even counties like Wanping and Daxing The prefects, prefectures and counties have already begun to actively subscribe."

   "The imperial court didn't respond to this?" Zhang Qi hesitated and said, "The newspapers and periodicals run by these private academies are not allowed to involve current affairs. Doesn't "Today's News" never involve current affairs?"

"Internal Reference" is run by the Imperial Academy, and the editors are all Jinshi who observe politics, and those who post articles are either Jinshi who observe politics, or officials who must remain anonymous. Check it out, so this "Internal Reference" is a semi-official newspaper.

  "Today's News" is different. It is a purely non-government newspaper. When it was reported to the Ministry of Rites and Shuntian Prefecture, it had already stated that it did not involve current affairs. It was just a purely literary and commercial newspaper, so there was no problem.

But "Yuedan Commentary" is a little different. It is run by Qingtan Academy, and most of the reviewers are students and teachers from Dongyuan of Qingtan Academy. Policy strategy, even if there are policies involving the six ministries, is still a kind of discussion and deliberative suggestions and suggestions, so after two issues, the Ministry of Rites basically acquiesced.

After all, Qingtan Academy is the foundation of the current Qige elder and the current head of the Zhongshu Department. It is said that in the future, it may become the foundation of the newly established official Shangshu of the Ministry of Commerce. When the first issue came out, they took the initiative to send it to the Ministry of Rites in advance, which is equivalent to filing.

"I asked Gu Bingqian, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, and he said that the "Yuedan Tan" was all admonitions by scholars. Scholars are worried about state affairs. Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is commendable, and the Ministry of Rites should allow it. The academy promises to send it to the Ministry of Rites for record in advance."

Zhang Ji always feels that if folk academies like Qingtan Academy can comment on current affairs, then this is a bit like the second Metropolitan Procuratorate. It's easy to be influential.

"Fourth brother, this "Moon Dan Tan" has something to do with Feng Ziying again?" Zhang Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, a little more coldly, "This guy has been invited to our activities several times, and he never participated, but this wait He is extremely active and enthusiastic in running a newspaper, and "Today's News" also has a lot to do with him, plus this "Internal Reference", what do you think this guy wants to do?"

"Huh, it's nothing more than power and profit. "Today's News" is for profit. I heard that those merchants have to pay money every month in order to publish texts promoting their goods on "Today's News". It is said that this is called advertising fees. As for the "Internal Reference", needless to say, it must be to impress the cabinet and the six ministers. He has no part in the Kaihai affairs, and he will release it to the outside world soon. Once it goes out, it will not take two or three years. Don't even think about it, the eighth year of Yonglong's Xinke Scholars are busy, and three years later, it will be the time for the 11th year of Yonglong's Xinke Jinshi. Who can still remember him? He doesn't use this method to remind the princes in the court, he can still How to do it?"

Zhang Ji saw it very clearly, "As for the "Yuedan Commentary", I heard that he didn't participate much, so he was named, well, he is also a well-known figure in Qingtan Academy, so leave a named editor-in-chief to remind The existence of the latecomer."

"Then Lao Jiu went to Qingtan Academy now, probably because of the influence of Qingtan Academy?" Zhang Qi's tone became more serious, "Mei Concubine is very scheming, it is said that civil servants never participate in the affairs of the Tian family. She wants to use her son to cultivate relationships with future civil servants so that she can use her strength in the future?"

   Zhang Ji secretly laughed in his heart, but his elder brother reacted quickly enough to realize this.

The problem is that he is aware of this, but he can't intervene. He is only fourteen years old, and he and his elder brother are already over twenty, so it is impossible to go to Qingtan Academy to study again. , At this time, I can no longer read the book.

"It should be so. Father should also understand this, so he never let go, but I don't know why this time he agreed to Lao Jiu to study at Qingtan Academy." Zhang Ji rubbed his cheeks, "Father's thoughts we I can't figure it out."
