Chapter 873 Assassination

In this newspaper, in addition to the debate between Liu Zongzhou, Huang Daozhou, Xu Guangqi, Tang Ruowang and others, there will also be novels by Feng Menglong and Ling Mengchu. These two novelists who wrote "Yu Shimingyan", "Careful Shihengyan", "Awakening Shihenhengyan", "Chu Ke Paiwen Surprise", and "Er Ke Paiwen Surprise" will write some novels similar to "The Scholars" that criticize reality, as well as yy novels that tell the overseas situation according to Li You's arrangement.

If it was just a debate between Huang Daozhou, Liu Zongzhou, Xu Guangqi, and Tang Ruowang, then the style of this newspaper would be too high. I am afraid that only those well-educated scholars would read it. These people are often firm supporters of vested interests and would never support the views of Xu Guangqi, and Tang Ruowang and others. However, with Feng Menglong and Ling Mengchu's novels are different.

The urban culture of the Ming Dynasty is extremely developed. Novels with extremely high artistic standards and are loved by the people, such as "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", and "Jin Ping Mei". Once a novel with high quality is released, it will soon be sought after by the citizens. With the writing styles of Feng Menglong, Ling Mengchu and the outline given by Li You, these novel novels will surely win the pursuit of these people, thus subtly receiving the influence of the ideas in the article. By the way, they can also expand the spread of newspapers, attract more readers, and win more supporters for the policies that Li You will implement next.

People with different identities and positions gather together naturally quarrel every day, especially Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou, who regard this matter as a traitor. Every time they see Li You, they strongly ask him to be close to the gentleman and stay away from the villain to cultivate virtue and nourish themselves, and expel people like Tang Ruowang, Xu Guangqi, a traitor of the Confucian sect, Feng Menglong and other traitors, and even threaten to resign and return home. Li You is extremely firm, and you don’t want to get out of it. You are so stupid. If you have any discomfort, you will say that you are awesome. If you don’t win, you can bear it.

Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou were both stubborn people, and their convictions in Confucianism were far more than their awe of imperial power. As soon as they heard these words, they were almost angry and wanted to scold Li You as the king of Jie and Zhou. But then they thought that if they wanted to leave, wouldn’t this newspaper become the subject of Xu Guangqi, Feng Menglong and others? Who else could stop them from spreading heresy? So they gritted their teeth and endured it, and wrote articles every day to argue with them.

At the beginning, those readers who read newspapers agreed with their articles out of awe of Liu Zongzhou, Huang Daozhou and other great scholars, and were very disdainful of Xu Guangqi and others. However, the more they went on, they felt something was wrong. The topics of each issue of the debate were the practical problems facing the Ming Dynasty at the moment. However, Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou kept saying big and useless nonsense, using the words of saints to suppress others, but never came up with practical solutions. It was fine once or twice, but as they read too much, readers gradually became annoyed. On the other hand, the articles of Xu Guangqi and Tang Ruowang and others first analyzed the reasons for these problems, and then gave solutions one by one, which made people feel clear and reasonable at first glance.

Most of these readers are often suffering from these practical problems. Not only do they begin to fantasize that if they can solve the problem according to the methods given by Xu Guangqi and others, will they receive less trouble and exploitation? Gradually, it is not until Zhou and Huang Daozhou begin to fall at a disadvantage in the public opinion war.

This is also a work that requires long-term execution. It is not something that can be accomplished overnight if you want to change people's ideas, but as long as you continue unswervingly, you will be able to see results one day.

"Your Majesty, it's time to have a meal." Wang Chengen said softly. After Cao Huachun was promoted, the young eunuch who later committed suicide in Coal Mountain with Emperor Chongzhen became Li You's personal follower, responsible for serving his daily life.

Li You, who was reviewing the memorial, put down his pen and got up to do it. Then he asked Wang Chengen to order someone to bring the food in. Li You is not a gourmet, he has no high requirements for food and does not like luxury, so the food delivered is not very good. So the food delivered is not very good. So the eunuchs set up the food soon and wait to serve Li You to eat.

Hum? But before putting off the chopsticks, Li You felt something was wrong. In addition to allowing him to travel to the battlefield, his five senses also became extremely sensitive. He found that among the little eunuch who served the dishes just now, there was obviously one who was a little nervous and his heart was beating sharply.

"What's your name?" Li You put down his chopsticks. Emperor Tianqi and Emperor Zhengde died in an unknown way. Now he has offended the civil service group for something and has to be more cautious in his actions.

The momentum accumulated over the years of battle on the battlefield and the bonus of imperial power, he looked over coldly. The eunuch suddenly panicked and knelt on the ground with a thud, trembling all over, and couldn't even say a word.

"Wang Cheng'en, take care of them all and do not let anyone out. Go to Cao Huachun and ask him to seal the imperial kitchen and tell the imperial doctor to carefully check the meals." If Li You had not realized that something was wrong at this time, he would have experienced so many storms in vain.

"I obey the order!" Wang Chengen was sweating profusely. It seemed that someone wanted to poison His Majesty! He immediately called the imperial guards to take care of these people, and then hurriedly searched for Cao Huachun. Soon, Cao Huachun and a group of Dongchang men like wolves and tigers surrounded the imperial kitchen.

The imperial physician who rushed over carefully checked the meals, and his hands holding the silver needle kept shaking. In the end, a young imperial physician, Fu Qingzhu, found out the clues. "Report to Your Majesty, this plate of green vegetables is indeed poisoned. The poison used is very rare. It is impossible to try it with the silver needle." The royal family was prepared for the poisoning. The chopsticks used by the emperor were generally made of silver, and there were special people responsible for the test of the poison, so it is definitely not ordinary people who could hide these procedures.

"This poison is a chronic poison. There was no abnormality at the beginning. It will not take effect until three days later. At that time, it will be poisoned into the bone marrow and there is no cure to save it." Master Fu Qing saw this poison by chance, so he distinguished it.

"There are some hard-working doctors." Fu Qingzhu was also a talent recruited by Li You when he was in Shanxi. He was temporarily placed in the Imperial Hospital and gave him some projects for him to study, but now it seems that it has played a big role.
