    Li You returned home and worked overnight to write a memorial, emphatically expounding the idea of ??running a newspaper and emphasizing the significance of the newspaper.  Of course, the key point is to request the imperial court to separate the newspaper office of the Imperial College and open a yamen. The yamen can be named "Wenxuanyuan".

    After the dynasty the next day, he sent the memorial directly to the eunuch in the clerk's room of Huiji Gate, and sent it to the cabinet along with all the chapters on that day.

    Soon, Mr. Li¡¯s memorial was circulated through the hands of Mr. Ge.  There are no major or urgent matters in government affairs today, but Li You's riot is the biggest one.  In any case, opening a new yamen in the imperial court is not a trivial matter, and everyone can't help but pay attention to it.

    Over the past two to three hundred years, although there were occasional small changes in the establishment of various ministries, courtyards, temples, and prisons in the imperial court, they generally remained stable.  The most famous change is probably that Emperor Gaozong established a large-scale ordnance inspection department that burned so much money that it made the Ministry of Households gnash their teeth.

    In fact, Li You's intention to open a government office was almost as good as Sima Zhao's, even if it was not known to everyone.  As early as when he returned to the newspaper office of the Imperial College, some people speculated that Li You left other good positions and went to the half-dead newspaper office, probably with the intention of opening a government office and building a government.

    There is a more sinister speculation that Li You deliberately spent money to run a private newspaper in order to prevent the official newspaper from running, so that he could take advantage of the situation and seize the political benefits of opening the official newspaper.  Looking at the imperial court, there are thousands of officials, big and small, but there are only about twenty real Zhengyintang officials.

    Mr. Li only found this rumor extremely ridiculous.  The former CEO of Pravda, Shi Jijiu, resigned out of shame of his incompetence, and then he, Li You, took over the mess. Is this something he, Li You, can control?

    No matter what.  Running an official newspaper under the Imperial College can only be a nondescript expedient. Separation is the right way, if it can be done.

    But the truth is this.  But everyone knows clearly that the key is to be able to really accomplish it, and this is the case with everything in the world.  One of the reasons for Li You's reputation in the court was.  He is a person who is good at getting things done, and he is also good at making others fail to get things done.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the way, the cabinet bosses had read Li You's memorial and knew very well that this was Li You's bid.  The price of opening a Yamen alone is not much, but this memorial is very eye-catching!

    ????????????? In fact, to the elders, Li You Dingtian is only a top five.  No matter how he changes his name, the final analysis is still the fifth grade. Whether he runs the newspaper in the Imperial College or opens another yamen, there is really not much difference.  From the perspective of the most respected ministers, the elders do not care about this small difference.  Does an elephant care about the position of an ant on the ground?

    But the dazzling thing about this memorial is that Li You asked to build a "Chinese Propaganda Institute" instead of a "Chinese Propaganda Supervisor". The difference is huge!

    Generally speaking, the imperial yamen refers to the main civil servant yamen of the foreign dynasty, excluding the forbidden institutions of the inner court such as Zhanshifu, Shangbaosi and the Fifth Military Governor's Office. They are named after four titles: department, courtyard, temple and prison.

    In the past, there were six ministries, five temples, three prisons, and three courtyards. During the reign of Emperor Gaozong, an ordnance prison was added, and people in the world called it the Eighteen Arhats.  All in all, the Ministry is in charge of affairs, and the Academy is there to watch the excitement.  The temple is for errands, and the prison is for miscellaneous work.

    In these yamen, the core six departments are solidified. The division of labor among officials, households, rituals, soldiers, and punishments can be traced back to Zhou Li. Therefore, it remains unchanged for thousands of years and cannot be increased to seven or eight departments.

    The names of the five temples, including Taichang Temple and Guanglu Temple, also have origins.  There is evidence to rely on and history to test, so it can be deleted, but it is not advisable to add names that are not in the history books at will.

    Therefore, those who want to build a new yamen can only decide on the two relatively flexible categories of hospital and prison.  But there is a difference between the court and the prison. The court's status is relatively high, while the prison's status is relatively humble.

    At a glance, you can tell what kind of yamen are the Metropolitan Inspectorate, the headquarters of officials, the Hanlin Academy, where future prime ministers and assistants will be raised, the Imperial College where poor scholars gather, the Qintian Prison whose function is only fortune telling, and the Shangliyuan Prison where animals are raised and vegetables are grown.  What yamen is it?

    That¡¯s why Mr. Li¡¯s memorial requesting the establishment of a ¡°Chinese and Propaganda Court¡± instead of a ¡°Chinese and Propaganda Supervisory Office¡± irritated the cabinet ministers. Is it so easy to open a yamen with the word ¡°courtyard¡±?  Moreover, there is a difference between a courtyard and a prison. Prisons are generally managed by one of the six departments. Li You wanted to build a yamen named after the courtyard. Did he intend to live in the world and disobey discipline?

    When the vote was drafted, the cabinet did not agree with Li You's memorial and directly drafted it as a "chao deliberation".  This means that Li You's offer must not be vetoed or passed, but must be bargained for at the court meeting.

    In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the next court meeting. After the court was over, government affairs were discussed in the Wenhua Hall. Li You was ordered to go to the hall to participate.  Emperor Jinghe settled on the throne, and after all the officials paid their respects, they began to discuss affairs.

    The eunuch next to him read Li You's memorial first. The main contents were: First, the Imperial College newspaper office was separated from the Imperial College and renamed Wenxuanyuan, which became the fifth-rank yamen.  Internal hospital envoy, the three yamen with the word "yuan" are Ducha Yuan, Hanlin Yuan, and Taiyuan Hospital. However, when talking about imperial yamen, we usually forget about Taiyuan Hospital, Sengdaosi, and Senglusi.

    With a haha, someone laughed. The sound came from the throne. When he looked up, he saw the young emperor desperately pursed his lips to hold back laughter.  Xu Shoufu shook his head in embarrassment and returned to his class.

    The first assistant left the stage, and the second assistant came out again. Mr. Peng Ge said to the emperor: "Public opinion is a public instrument, as Li You said, it is not a trivial matter, it is also related to educating the people, and it is even more important. Your Majesty must pay attention to it."  "

    Everyone in the hall was slightly surprised. Is Mr. Peng Ge openly supporting Li You?  Isn't it too embarrassing?

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????"

    ¡°Damn it, Li You cursed in his heart, this is naked flattery!
