Great Tang Southern Emperor

But what no one knew was that Li Yuanchang had secretly gathered a large number of people who rebelled against Li Zhen—Li Zhen had indeed developed smoothly in recent years, but he also provoked many enemies in the process of development.

Among other things, just like his Chamber of Commerce, Li Zhen Chamber of Commerce can indeed earn countless profits every year, and the scale of the Chamber of Commerce is also expanding.But as the saying goes, shopping malls are like battlefields, and chambers of commerce will always encounter resistance of one kind or another if they want to develop. Sometimes they have to use some dark means, and naturally they have formed many enemies.

Don't look at these people as losers in the fight against Li Zhen, but think about it in another way, if they can fight against Li Zhen, even if they are not as good as Li Zhen, how bad can they be?If their connections and financial resources really add up, I'm afraid they may not be as bad as Li Zhen.

This is the plan of the mastermind behind the scenes. Among all Li Zhen's enemies, he is the only one who can see Li Zhen's foundation, which is business—whether it is running a school, training the army, or researching weapons, etc., the reason why Li Zhen can The reason why he made the stall so large is because he has a huge golden mountain behind him.

In other words, as long as his money supply is cut off, it is equivalent to prying away the foundation of Li Zhen's building, and then he only needs to push gently, and his power will disappear in an instant.

The poor group of idiots in the anti-Li Zhen alliance didn't see this, and instead competed with Li Zhen head-on, even if you can defeat Li Zhen, so what?As long as his business empire doesn't collapse, even if you have wiped out all of Li Zhen's forces, you only need to give him three to five years before he can make a comeback.

Only by destroying his business empire is the real drudgery. These fools didn't even notice this.But it's okay, with you guys fighting against Li Zhen head-on and attracting Li Zhen's attention, we're playing tricks behind the scenes, so it shouldn't be a problem to drive Li Zhen into a doom.

But after failing in the duel with Li Zhen, these businessmen naturally hated Li Zhen deeply, and they only needed to tease them a little, and it would be impossible to get them together.

It's just that it's not the time for behind-the-scenes forces to appear, so if they want to operate all of this, they must have a spokesperson on the surface to help them operate, and the status of this spokesperson should not be too low, otherwise they will not be convincing enough—the best Is a member of the royal family.

At this time, Li Yuanchang, who had been dancing happily, fell into their eyes.

After going through a series of means, Li Yuanchang was taken away and met the master of the behind-the-scenes forces. Under his persuasion, he finally joined the organization, became the spokesperson of the organization, and began to recruit talents for the organization.

And as the eldest son of Changsun Wuji, who also had a great feud with Li Zhen, Changsun Chong naturally fell into Li Yuanchang's eyes.After several trials, Changsun Chong joined Li Yuanchang's subordinates logically, and recruited for him those who had conflicts with Li Zhen from the powerful families of princes and aristocrats, and absorbed them into the organization. Tang's top dignitaries know some news that others don't, which is very important for the organization behind the scenes.

Today, Changsun Chong came to report information to Li Yuanchang. After the report, he said with some concern: "Once the decree is issued, Li Zhen will have obtained Nanyang. No one in the whole world can control him except the emperor. We What should we do now?"

After Li Yuanchang got angry, he calmed down a lot. Hearing the words, he comforted him: "Don't worry, I'll report to my superiors right away. Don't show my feet when I go back. Continue to collect information and keep an eye on the situation in the court. If there is any change, immediately Report to me."

"Yes, I'll go back right away."

"..."

Not to mention how to deal with Changsun Wuji after Changsun Chong went back, Li Yuanchang quickly came to the secret room after sending Changsun Chong away.

This secret room is very simple, except for a set of tables and chairs and a copper bowl-shaped decoration, there is nothing.

When Li Yuanchang came to the secret room, he picked up the copper bowl and tapped it on the wall three times, and quickly put the copper bowl on his ear. He saw a gold thread tied to the bottom of the copper bowl, and he didn't know where it led—this copper bowl turned out to be A native phone.

Soon, an unidentified voice came from the copper bowl: "What's the matter?"

Li Yuanchang's face quickly became respectful: "I have seen the special envoy. I have come here today to report something important. Today is the meeting of the Great Court... The situation is like this. What should we do now?"

"We already know about this matter, but it is very good that you can report the information you have obtained in time." The voice of neither man nor woman said: "You don't have to worry about the next thing, you just need to pay attention to the court all the time. That's fine, we have our own arrangements."

"Yes, this subordinate is resigning." After hanging up the phone, Li Yuanchang's eyes flashed a gloomy look: "Li Zhen, how did you die this time?"

On the second day, on Chang'an City Street, in the Datang Royal Bookstore.

"Old head Liu, the old rules, daily newspaper, morning newspaper, science and technology newspaper, business newspaper... give me a copy, hurry up, the guests are waiting." A man dressed as a clerk said to the shopkeeper of the bookstore, looking at him The tone is casual and the actions are casual, which shows that the two parties are acquaintances.

"Here you are." Old Liu head casually handed over a stack of newspapers that he had prepared a long time ago, and went on with his own business.

"Thanks, I owe the bill first, and I will settle it at the end of the month."

"I know, let's go."

The clerk returned to his restaurant with a stack of newspapers and handed them to the shopkeeper, who immediately handed the newspapers to a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar who was already waiting beside him: "Mr. Zheng, I'm sorry."

"Hmm." Mr. Zheng found that the newspaper came to the front hall, where many guests were drinking morning tea and anxiously waiting for today's news.

Since the newspaper became popular, the people have quickly accepted this novel and effective way of disseminating news, and because the newspaper is officially managed, it has a high degree of credibility, and many people have obtained information from the newspaper. There are many benefits, and it has set off an upsurge in reading newspapers, so each issue of the newspaper is very popular.

It's just that although newspapers are popular, the literacy rate in Tang Dynasty is too low. Although many people really want to read newspapers, they can only give up due to illiteracy.

However, the wisdom of the common people is infinite. In a certain restaurant, an activity of reading newspapers to diners was opened, and the crowds of customers immediately gathered. Great increase, and even inadvertently created a breakfast culture - you must know that Datang is a two-meal system at this time, and the three-meal system is not popular.But in order to understand the newspaper for the first time, many guests came to the restaurant early in the morning, and when they arrived at the restaurant, how could they not eat?Over time, breakfast appeared...

While eating breakfast, while learning about state affairs through newspapers, the life of the people in Datang is very comfortable nowadays.

The newspaper reader is usually a storyteller, and this Mr. Zheng is the storyteller of this restaurant.

"Mr. Zheng is here."

"Hello, Mr. Zheng."

"Everyone, stop arguing and listen to the newspaper."

"..."

With the appearance of Mr. Zheng, the originally chaotic restaurant suddenly returned to order, with only occasional greetings, which were all done by regular customers.

"Everyone be quiet, read "Datang Daily" first today." After pretending for a while, Mr. Zheng first took out "Datang Daily" and began to recite.

It was nothing at first, it was all about anecdotes and strange things in the court, everyone listened with great interest, and Mr. Zheng also read aloud calmly, only occasionally when he read the climax part, there would be applause.

But when Mr. Zheng read the front and saw the back, his complexion suddenly changed, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he saw the title read——

"The king of Yue occupies Nanyang and Lingnan, and may rebel."

"The ambition of the King of Yue is clearly revealed, and Lingnan and Nanyang are occupied by him."

"The imperial court's rule over Lingnan exists in name only, and now Lingnan and Nanyang only know that there is Li Zhen but not Tang."

"..."

The back of an entire newspaper was full of reports about Li Zhen's disagreement.

"Huh? Why didn't Mr. Zheng stop reading?"

"You look so ugly, are you sick?"

"Everyone, go and call the doctor."

"..."

Mr. Zheng stood up suddenly, and was about to go downstairs: "I'm sorry to make everyone worry, I'm fine. I dare not read this newspaper. If anyone wants to read it, you can find a way to go to another place."

"What's the matter with Mr. Zheng?" Seeing this, the owner of the restaurant hurried up to meet him; "Why don't you read it if you're fine?"

"You can read it yourself, shopkeeper." Mr. Zheng handed the newspaper to the boss.

The boss's face also turned pale: "How is it possible? Why is such content written in the newspaper? Isn't this newspaper issued by the court? Why is there something that is not good for the king of Yue? Could it be that the king of Yue is really rebellious?"

"Shut up!" Mr. Zheng quickly covered the boss's mouth: "No matter what the king of Yue is, that's something the people above should consider, we can't talk nonsense."

"Yes, yes, you shouldn't talk nonsense." The boss wiped off his sweat, and comforted him: "Mr. Zheng surprised you, you take a day off today, and I will apologize to everyone."
