Chapter 85
"Punish your heart, how do you punish your heart?" Ruan Dacheng asked.

Li Cunming did not answer directly, but asked him: "You and the Donglin Party are old enemies, you have been squeezed out and bullied by them, and you have suffered a lot. Come and tell me that the Donglin Party is the most powerful and best at What?"

Ruan Dacheng didn't even think about it, and blurted out: "Based on my more than ten years of tragic experience, the most powerful method of the Donglin Party members is to flaunt their own morality and integrity, and they all regard themselves as upright gentlemen. If they want to persecute others, they wave The big stick of morality was smashed down on the head and face, and at the same time, there were so many people punching and punching, few people could resist it, and there were still people who couldn't refute it."

Li Cunming laughed and said: "You really have a deep understanding! That's right, the Donglin Party is best at moral judgment. There are always good and bad things in the world. Those who play with fire die by self-immolation, and those who are good soldiers die by the sword. The Donglin Party likes to conduct moral judgments on others, can't we treat them in the same way as others?"

"Wonderful, Your Majesty's words will enlighten me!" Ruan Dacheng shouted, patting his forehead with bright eyes.

Because of the excitement, he lost his composure, and paced around in front of the emperor: "Don't look at the Donglin Party's righteousness on the surface, in fact, there are many thieves behind the scenes, with benevolence and morality in their mouths, and male robbers and female prostitutes in their stomachs. There are many things like bullying men and women, and robbing fields."

"I know a lot of this kind of private scandals. It's time to take off their masks and their underpants, and let the world see that there are scum in the Donglin Party, and they are not saints!"

The more I talked, the more excited I became, and the more I talked, the more I couldn't wait, please say: "Your Majesty, give me some time, I will write a play, and then go on tour."

"Ruan Dacheng, you are very smart, and you can see through everything." Li Cunming smiled and waved his hands, "Writing a playbook to expose the scandal of the Donglin Party is a way, but it is not the most effective. Writing a playbook is too time-consuming , and the limitations are too big, I want you to run a newspaper."

"What is a newspaper?"

"It's the Dibao, but some improvements need to be made."

Ruan Dacheng is no stranger to Dibao, and reads it almost every day.

"Di Bao" is the earliest newspaper in my country, founded in the early Western Han Dynasty. "Dibao" is also known as "Dichao", and it is also known as "Chaobao", "Tiaobao" and "Miscellaneous Newspaper".

According to historical records, the prefectures of the Han Dynasty and the feudal towns of the Tang Dynasty both set up "mansions" in the capital, which functioned like today's news agencies stationed in Beijing, focusing on conveying government news, where the emperor's edicts, ministers' memorials, and related The appointment, removal and transfer of officials are all the contents that the officials need to collect and transcribe.

"Di Bao" was originally copied by the imperial court, and later posted on the palace gate for public copying, so it is also called "Gongmen copy" and "Yuanmen copy". This is actually the earliest news method.

Around the time of the Song Dynasty, profit-making merchants appeared who specialized in transcribing Di Bao for sale.In order to save trouble, officials are willing to spend some money to buy.

Li Cunming explained to Ruan Dacheng a series of issues such as news collection, newspaper editing, typesetting, and sales in detail. After he understood and digested it, he decreed:

"Order Ruan Dacheng as the news officer of the Ming Dynasty, who is the same as the commander of the fourth grade of Jinyiwei. The news agency is affiliated to Jinyiwei and is in charge of newspaper distribution. He can recruit a number of scribes by himself, and has the right to mobilize twenty Jinyiwei spies to collect various News. When encountering important and sensitive news, Gong Yonggu must review it first, and then the military adviser Yan Ermei will decide whether to publish it in the newspaper."

Ruan Dacheng took the order to go, the old boy finally waited for the opportunity of revenge, rolled up his sleeves and worked hard, and after five days, he concocted a newspaper sample, and excitedly showed it to the emperor.

After reading it carefully, Li Cunming said: "The content is fine, it hits the key point directly, and many people will lose their reputations. But the form is a bit inappropriate. First of all, the text is too obscure and profound. The whole article is only suitable for scholars to read. Rejected. Ruan Dacheng, can you write in vernacular?"

"Vernacular?"

"You can write how you speak on weekdays. Well, I don't force you to change your writing habits in a short period of time, but the writing should be more straightforward. Have you read "Jin Ping Mei"? At least the words and sentences should be like "Jin Ping Mei", so that you Even ordinary people in the market can understand it.”

Ruan Dacheng smiled: "I have collected several versions of "Jin Ping Mei", so I will go back and study more."

Ruan Dacheng returned home, went into his study, and read "Jin Ping Mei" at night with the lamp on, with his head hanging from the beam and the awl piercing his buttocks, he really worked hard.After mastering it, pick up the pen and revise the article.

Five days later, he came to the study room again with thick dark circles under his eyes.

After Li Cunming read it, he showed a satisfied smile: "The children of Ruan Qing's family can be taught. They are indeed great literati, and they can see through everything! It's just that the headlines of the news are not eye-catching. "

"In addition, I also named the newspaper and wrote an inscription. In order to increase circulation, I conceived a long ghost story and serialized it in the newspaper to attract readers."

Ruan Dacheng took the manuscript paper handed over by the emperor, and first read the title and inscription of the newspaper given by the emperor.The name is very simple, two words "Key Lai".

The inscription is a doggerel: "Heaven did not give birth to me as a keyboard warrior, and my spray path is like a long night. I have one key to open the gate of heaven, and one key to kill immortals. I can fight three thousand emperors with only one mouth, and push thirteen continents horizontally with two keys. There are 300 million key immortals in the world, and you must lower your eyebrows when you meet me. The top of the immortal is proud of the world, and there is a sky with my keyboard! The key of the great river comes from the sky, and one key can conquer the world!"

Ruan Dacheng was confused and asked, "What is a keyboard man?"

Li Cunming said: "The keyboard warrior is also a chivalrous person; the great chivalrous person serves the country and the people! The Donglin Party members are the trolls, trolls, angry youths, and old stubborns of our Ming Dynasty. You, Ruan Dacheng, are the number one in our Ming Dynasty." The Keyboard Man is the nemesis of the Donglin Party. Take your keyboard and protect our Ming Dynasty!"

Ruan Dacheng still felt confused, but what the emperor said made his blood boil.

I went to see the ghost story created by the emperor again, called "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".As for the news headline revised by the emperor, Ruan Dacheng was shocked when he saw it.

"Shock!Two men, one old and one young, competed for the woman in the brothel, and finally pleaded guilty to death";
"Shock!The squire held a luxurious banquet for his birthday, and the extravagant Dorgon was shocked when he saw it! ";
" Shock!Men will be silent when they see it, and women will cry when they see it!If you don't turn, you are not from Daming! ";
" Shock!A farmer actually does this kind of action in front of his daughter! ";
" Shock!Chen Yuanyuan kindly recommended beautiful women to the emperor, but was reprimanded. The reason behind it is heart-warming! ";
"Shock!Who said that women are inferior to men, Princess Changping humiliated all the soldiers, but the soldiers were convinced! ".

……

Shocked, Ruan Dacheng was stunned.

Three days later, the first issue of "Jianlai" was officially published, which immediately caused a huge sensation in Nanjing.
