    However, it was said that Xu Shoufu proposed that the Imperial Academy Shi Jijiu should be the president of the newspaper. Seeing that no one objected, he said to Hai Shushan, the Minister of Rites, "You can report it to the emperor like this!" The meeting was convened and chaired by Hai Shangshu, so he should summarize the situation and organize it.  Report to the palace.

    "Uncle Zong, wait!" Li You, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stopped him and said to everyone after he handed over his hands: "I came up with the idea of ????registering and supporting scholars. I only know how to do it well. Now all preparations have been started.  , I have invested more than a hundred taels of money in advance, and I really can¡¯t bear to give up halfway. So I have the courage to recommend myself, and I would like to ask you to think twice!"

    This meaning is very obvious, that is, I want this CEO to be the president, and the reasons are very good.  Lu Ge, the scholar of Wuying Palace, looked at Li You with a resolute and determined look on his face. Then he looked at the stone sacrificial wine and said, "I think it's okay for Mr. Li to be the president."

    Zhao Liangren, the Minister of Civil Service, nodded in agreement.  Yang Jin, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, also said that logically speaking, it would be unfair to not use Li You, and he might be combined as the chief executive.  Xun Feiqian, the Minister of War, immediately agreed with Yang Ge.

    Yuan Lide, a scholar of Wannian Wenhua Palace, glanced at the above people and said bluntly: "How can the public instrument of public opinion be in the hands of Li Fushi?"

    This statement is indeed very simple and crude, without even a reason, but in fact there is no need to give a reason. Everyone understands that Li You's name is the biggest reason.  But everyone was embarrassed to be so explicit. Only Academician Yuan, who hated Li You the most, spoke like this.

    In addition to Grand Scholar Yuan, both the first assistant Xu Yue and the second assistant Peng Chunshi felt that letting Li You, a cunning and aggressive enemy, control the new newspaper was very unsafe in all aspects, so it was better to let Shi Ji  Wine takes charge of this matter.  At least Shi Jijiu is a fair person.  He does things out of a public spirit and rarely shows any partiality. Compared with Li You, he feels safer.

    There were still many people who agreed with the stone sacrificial wine. Finally, Xu Shoufu made the final decision: "Send the memorial as originally agreed."

    Li You¡¯s face was tense.  Once again, he held his hands in front of him and said in courtesy: "I'm going to inspect the school, you're the Imperial Envoy of Qiandu, and I'm the Imperial Supervisor of the Imperial Academy, Li You. I'd like to ask Mr. Kui and all the gentlemen here to think again!"

    This tone contained an implicit threat, which made Xu Shoufu very unhappy.  He scolded: "The imperial court has its own measures and weighs, Mr. Li, there is no need to say more!"

    Li You put away his etiquette and said calmly: "I have received a favor from you today. I am grateful for your kindness. I will pay tribute to you in the future." Then he turned around and walked towards the door. When he reached the door, he suddenly burst out violently and fiercely.  He kicked towards the door leaf.

    This court room is usually only used by ministers to rest before going to court.  The access control is not strict, and it is largely just a decoration.  After Mr. Li kicked it vigorously, the entire door leaf immediately flew ten feet away, and landed with a crash next to the Su Wei officers and soldiers on duty outside the Meridian Gate, startling several sergeants.

    Then they saw a young man whose anger was almost visible to the naked eye emerging from the east door.  He walked towards Duanmen, but didn't dare to stop him.

    They are not blind, and the officials who can enter the Eastern Dynasty's court meeting are definitely not ordinary people. Seeing that they are in trouble again, it is better not to provoke them.  Anyway, there are other people present. Just ask others for their name and then report it. Since they are officials with status, they can't escape.

    Used to destroy palace utensils.  It is also a small crime, but no one has committed it for decades, but today it happened openly in front of everyone.

    Although the crime was minor, it was eye-catching and caused a lot of discussion among outsiders who didn¡¯t know the truth.  It seems that Li You must have been bullied by all the big guys in the Dongchao room.  I don't know how much stimulation he suffered to lose his temper like this. It must be inhumane.  If you break the door to the court room, you will have to pay a fine as punishment.

    It is said that Li You left in a rage and left the imperial city. Han Zong, his chief follower, came up to him and asked, "Where are you going, master?"

    "Since they are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust! Go to the West to invite Tathagata Buddha!" ??Mr. Li said angrily.

    In his previous assumptions, the only thing he was most worried about was that discussing government affairs in newspapers was likely to cause major or minor dissatisfaction in the court, and it was difficult to find the right balance.  For this reason, he was thinking about this, but he didn't expect that the peach in his hand would be picked directly.

    It would be better if the newspaper didn't run it at all, so he didn't want to do it. As an advocate, he would always leave his name.  But the current situation is that the court agreed to the launch of the newspaper, but he is not the person in charge.  This is unbearable. It is simply giving up one's achievements to others. How can one swallow this sigh of relief?

    What's more, newspapers have been regarded by him as a measure to manipulate public opinion, develop power, and strengthen the foundation. From now on, he can't just do everything himself. He must have a suitable trumpeter.  So how can you make wedding clothes for others for no reason?

    "Western Heaven" in Mr. Li's mouth refers to the ten princes' palaces, and the "Tathagata Buddha" is self-evident.

    "I heard that you have been restless recently and are preparing to run a newspaper? What is it like?newspaper?  "When they met, Li You hadn't said anything yet, but Princess Guide asked first.

    Li You replied: "I came here just for this matter, but something bad happened!"

    There are too many bad times Princess Guide was immune to this and chuckled a few times indifferently, "Have you encountered a problem?"

    Li You nodded expectantly, and then heard His Highness Chitose sarcastically say: "Aren't you very capable? You can even destroy Eunuch Duan by yourself, so what else can make it hard for you? You don't need to look for me.  Is this woman asking for help?"

    Mr. Li once again expressed his speechlessness about the woman's thoughts. How long has it been since he mentioned this matter again?

    When dealing with Duan Zhien last time, he kept the eldest princess in the dark in order to prevent the news from leaking, and also used her as a cover and finishing tool, which made the eldest princess feel a little angry, and Li You also knew this.  During this period of time, my body and mind have been calmed down several times. I thought everything was calm, but accidentally, a little resentment popped up here again.

    Li You whispered: "This time it concerns Your Majesty. Since you are not interested, then leave!"

    Sure enough, when he heard that it was related to the emperor, Guide Chitose immediately returned to his seriousness, stopped Li You and asked: "Wait a minute! Please explain clearly before leaving!"

    Li You turned around quickly and recounted today's Dongchao Fang meeting in detail.

    "You civil servants run newspapers, what does this have to do with Your Majesty?" Princess Guide asked doubtfully.

    Li Yougang wanted to complain about "women with long hair and short knowledge", but considering the danger of the situation, he held back and only analyzed: "The court is His Majesty's court, and the people are also His Majesty's people. There should be no distinction between them! Newspapers,  Since it belongs to the court, it should also belong to the people! What will be the consequences if the newspaper becomes the newspaper that Shi Jijiu said? With the literati praising each other, in the long run the people only know that there is a court, but not that there is Your Majesty!"

    Princess Guide is not a fool. After Li You gave some advice, she immediately understood the situation.  If it becomes a newspaper that is completely controlled by civil servants and is the mouthpiece of the imperial court, it will obviously be detrimental to the emperor.

    Afraid that His Highness Chitose would not understand the meaning, and for the sake of his own career, Li You did not hesitate to temporarily act as a traitor to the civil servant group, and said very openly: "In my opinion, Your Majesty should encourage newspapers to discuss and criticize the government! Only in this way can you  Contain the civil servants in public opinion and restore the passive situation a little!"

    This sentence really touched Princess Guide deeply, causing her to fall into deep thought for a quarter of an hour

    The next day, the sun rose as usual, and Li You came to the Imperial College.  As soon as he sat down in the west room of Yilun Hall, he saw Shi Jijiu coming to visit him.  After being invited in, Li You just bowed his head and drank tea, not even exchanging greetings.

    The stone sacrificial wine was not troubled, "Master Li, don't lose your bearings. I just came here to tell you that what happened yesterday was just a matter of inciting an internal fight between you and me."

    The authorities were confused, but Li You didn't expect this. He raised his head and said, "Please speak."

    "No matter what you think, the official stated his thoughts yesterday, and it was indeed just to express his opinions. He did not actively seek an official position, and he did not expect to be promoted to the chief executive of the newspaper."

    Li You recalled the situation at that time and found that Shi Jijiu did not say that he wanted to be the president of the newspaper. It was Xu Shoufu who took the initiative to recommend Mr. Shi.

    But even though this is the case on the surface, is it necessary to explain everything in the officialdom?  Who can determine the truth and falsehood?  Anyone who trusts others in this regard is short-sighted, not to mention Li You's suspicious nature.

    Seeing that Li You did not express his position, Shi Jijiu further explained: "Ordinarily, if you appoint me as the president, you are not suitable to stay here. The imperial court should transfer you from the Imperial College and assign you to another place. However, no one mentioned it yesterday.  It can be explained that the princes deliberately kept you in the Imperial College.

    "Their intentions are obvious. They just hope that you will fight with me, so that they can take advantage of it, profit from it, and control the newspaper."  Therefore, I ask Mr. Li not to fall into the trap.  "

    I have to say that what Shijiujiu said made sense. Li You remembered that Shijiujiu was the one who set off the map cannon yesterday, and he was reused in the blink of an eye. Sure enough, there was something in it.  Besides, the man who sacrificed stones for wine would not come here to commit fraud.

    ??Okay, truth is truth, and action is action. If reasoning is useful, then why do we need action?  Li You put down the tea cup and said tentatively: "Then please ask Mr. Shi to report to the court and resign from the post of president of the newspaper."

    Shi Jijiu pondered for a moment, then decisively refused: "No matter what the reason is, since the imperial court has entrusted you with an important task, I can only do it with all my heart, how can there be any excuses! What's more, speaking from my heart, I don't think Mr. Li is suitable to take over.  Those who run newspapers cannot give or receive official weapons privately, so there is no way to talk about letting the virtuous go!"

    Li You said angrily: "Is this the sincerity of Mr. Shi? You have this kind of attitude, and you still advise me not to fall into the trap?"

    "That's all. You can say whatever Mr. Li says, but public and private matters are different. I have a clear conscience!" Shi Jijiu stood up and left.

    ??Okay, truly honest people are worthy of admiration, but that¡¯s all.  Li You actually didn't care whether Shijiujiu was resigning. He was just a front-end person promoted by the court princes. There was no Lord Shi, but also Lord Zhang and Lord Wang.
