I run a newspaper in ancient times

Here, Emperor Yan and Li Li walked out of Cishou Palace together, because the weather was just right, the two brothers walked around in the imperial garden.

The servants of the two men were far behind, but they walked in front side by side, and their voices were so soft that no one else could hear them.

Emperor Yan looked at Li Li and said guiltily, "A Li, I'm sorry for you."

Li Li tilted his head and asked innocently: "Why did you say that, Brother Huang?"

Emperor Yan said in a deep voice: "Today must have been the Zhou family's idea. No one in my harem has conceived for a long time. Heh, I'm afraid I have been secretly guessing for a long time, and now I'm putting the idea on you."

Li Li is the younger brother of Emperor Yan. If Emperor Yan had no heirs, he would be the most powerful heir. His concubine would naturally be planned by someone.

Li Li smiled and did not deny it: "Brother Huang came just in time."

Speaking of this, Emperor Yan's face became even more gloomy: "The queen came to invite me, how can the Shen family let the Zhou family do what they want?"

The Zhou family and the Shen family are the families of Concubine Zhou and Empress Shen.

The former is a powerful family, and there is a left minister with power over the government and the public. He almost covers the sky with one hand in the court. Government orders do not even need to be passed through the emperor.

The latter is in charge of military power, and now the head of the Shen family is Marquis Wu Ning.Although the military power of the Shen family was weakened again and again following Dayan's defeat in Daxia all the way, and the move of the capital to the south, the imperial city's [-] imperial troops were still firmly in their hands.

Before and after the two, the Zhou family is obviously better than the Shen family, and the latter even followed the former's lead during the period of the first emperor.

Fortunately, before the death of the first emperor, after a series of difficulties, the Shen family was appointed as the empress for Emperor Yan, and the Zhou family was subdued to the position of noble concubine. This made the Shen family gradually have the ability to compete with the Zhou family and maintained a delicate balance.

When Fan Zhiyuan led the army to fight against the Great Xia and gradually regained the Yanjing Kyushu that was occupied by the Great Xia, the Shen family's wolfish ambitions were also revealed.

Fan Zhiyuan is a distant relative of a branch of the Shen family, relying on the Shen family to step by step from a low-level captain to the current general of Dingguo, controlling the military power in the north.

With the two powerful ministers on the side, it can be seen how difficult the situation of Emperor Yan is.

He was put on the throne by these two powerful ministers, because the prince died, and died of treason.

He is like a puppet, surviving in the gap between two powerful ministers. He can only gather power carefully, slowly, and humiliatingly, but this process is really too difficult.

The bitterness among them can only be revealed in front of Li Li, the younger brother who depends on each other for life.

Li Li pointed to the gazebo behind the rockery in the garden. Because it was built on a high place and facing the lake, even if someone was observing from the other side of the lake, they would not be able to see their movements clearly.

It's just that it's early spring, it's neither warm nor cold, it's still very cold.

The two sat down, and after the waiter served tea, he retreated and stood beside the rockery with the guards.

There was a slight wind blowing in the gazebo, Li Li couldn't help but rolled up his sleeves, he looked at the old eunuch who consciously stood beside the emperor, tilted his head and asked with a smile: "Eunuch Zhang, is it okay for this king to say something small to the emperor?"

The old eunuch's name was Zhang Zuoxian, and when he heard the words, his face suddenly turned into an old chrysanthemum, and he bowed: "Your Highness is joking, and this servant is going to watch refreshments, and serve some to the Emperor and His Highness."

"Don't serve that sweet-scented osmanthus cake, it's not delicious." Li Li reminded.

Zhang Zuoxian quickly responded: "The servant knows."

As soon as the people left, Li Li picked up the tea and said without looking at the unhappy Emperor Yan opposite, "Everyone knows that Prince Yi, who has never been in tune, wholeheartedly loves General Fan who is far away at the border. It is said that she is infatuated, has no complaints and no regrets, and does not look back when she hits the south wall, so how can she compromise to marry a girl? It is useless even if the Queen Mother coerces her, maybe I will just do nothing and run away to the north?"

After he finished speaking, he held his chin and looked towards the opposite side with a smile.

What Li Li said was interesting, but Emperor Yan felt even more guilty. He didn't care about getting sulking with an old eunuch, and said worriedly: "Then Fan Zhiyuan is not a good friend. He is cold-hearted. Give favors to anyone. It’s fine for him to be fighting outside now. If he returns to Beijing triumphantly and hears you stalking like this for no reason, what should he do if he becomes angry from shame? He is the nephew of the Shen family, and he has always been in cahoots with the Shen family. Thinking about it now, your idea is really bad."

"What's wrong, my brother thinks it's fine." Li Li didn't care. He raised his sleeve, and suddenly a small porcelain bottle appeared in his hand. Stuffed it into Emperor Yan's hand, the whole process was calm and calm, with an innocent face, "At least, I think it's much better than your method. Emperor brother, with my half-baked medical skills, you are not afraid of hurting your body? Tell me in advance." Well, if it’s true, don’t blame me.”

Emperor Yan held the medicine bottle in his hand, hid it in his sleeve, and touched his younger brother's head with a smile: "I only believe in you."

Li Li felt a little sour all of a sudden, it was not easy for the emperor to be his elder brother.

The medicine has no other effect, it is contraceptive.

Although there are not many concubines in Emperor Yan's harem, since he ascended the throne to now, they have been filled in from time to time, and there are quite a few concubines, but there is still nothing in the harem.

It's not that the emperor is not good as the world guessed, but that he took medicine in advance. This medicine was developed by Li Li himself, and the effect is really good immediately.

Emperor Yan didn't dare to stay, he was afraid that if he stayed, one day he would die.

After all, a little emperor who is waiting to be fed is much easier to control than him who is always thinking about regaining power.

When he has nothing to do, he will settle for the next best thing. In the eyes of outsiders, he is a dandy and out of tune. Apart from his good looks, Prince Yi is also suitable to be a puppet if he is not good at anything else.

The only trouble is that this manly man, the entire Great Yan Kingdom knows that Prince Yi absurdly stated that he would not marry unless he was General Fan.

Emperor Yan said: "But Ah Li, even if Fan Zhiyuan doesn't have the same knowledge as you, he must be in his twenties by now. The Shen family is making plans for his marriage everywhere. What if he marries a wife?"

However, Li Li shook his head and said affirmatively, "He won't."

Emperor Yan frowned: "Why are you so sure?"

Li Li just smiled and raised his teacup to drink tea: "I know, he won't."

How can a man who hides his name and bears blood and deep hatred dare to marry a wife halfway?What if the whole family is involved in the incident?

Besides, that person has a white moonlight in his heart that he can't ask for, and he is not willing to marry someone else.

Li Li raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes slightly, hiding all his calculations.

Just like he needs Fan Zhiyuan to cover for him now, maybe this dear friend can only hold his nose and have a romantic relationship with him when he is desperate?

Difficult brothers and sisters, just make do with it.

Thinking of this, Li Li couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, Brother Huang, I really like him, I like him so much! If he is willing to respond to me, I can blow up the sky for three days and three nights." Let's celebrate with fireworks!"

However, the laughter in Emperor Yan's ears made him feel even more sad.

He looked at his handsome younger brother. In the eyes of outsiders, he was hopelessly dandy, but in Emperor Yan's eyes, he was good everywhere. To be favored by Li Li for Fan Zhiyuan was a blessing in three lifetimes.

It's useless for him, so bear with it, and when he gets rid of the tigers and wolves around him, he will let his younger brother happily do his own thing.

Emperor Yan swore secretly in his heart.

Speaking of which, Li Li is a time traveler. In his previous life, his family owned a mine and he was the youngest. His parents didn't expect much of him, so he became a small reporter according to his own interests.

It's just that she was a fledgling, suffered a misfortune, was reincarnated, somehow didn't drink Mengpo soup, and fell to the ground with the memories of her previous life.

At that time, the Empress Dowager was just a beauty who lived in a corner of the palace. Looking at the appearances of Li Li and Emperor Yan, one knew that the Empress Dowager was really beautiful when she was young, but she had no power and power and could only earn a living under the hands of the Xian Concubine.

Concubine Xian has no son, and Emperor Yan was taken away by her when he was born, but she felt that the queen mother was an eyesore and caused the late emperor to miss her, so she set up a situation to make the queen mother hate the late emperor.

What kind of place is Lenggong?

The guarding nuns and the stewards are more indifferent than the other, and most people don't want to come at all.

At that time, the queen mother was already pregnant, and Li Li was born in the cold palace like this.

If it wasn't for Li Li's fate, he wouldn't have survived. The queen mother fed him little by little.

But when Li Li was able to walk and talk, life began to change.

After all, it is Douding's body, adult heart, sweet mouth, and will come to things, but it also coaxes the nurses and stewards to be happy, and their lives are better, and they don't stop eating snacks.

As for his medical skills, he bought half a bag of peanuts from a fake old eunuch in the cold palace.

That old eunuch was not a real eunuch, Li Li heard him brag, saying that he was a well-known master of poisoning in the Jianghu, and he was squatting in the cold palace to avoid his enemies. Because he had nothing to do, Li Li took it down with half a bag of peanuts .

Later, when Li Li was six years old, Concubine Xian got involved in the secret affairs of the harem and died.

I don't know if it was because of repentance, or what, but before he died, he returned the queen mother's innocence, so Li Li left the cold palace and saw his brother who came to pick him up, and... the prince.

But then the situation changed suddenly, the Wei family of the crown prince's mother colluded with the enemy, causing the Great Yan Kingdom to be beaten back and forth by the Northern Great Xia Kingdom, losing Yanjing Kyushu, and the capital of the country was moved from Shangjing City to Xiajing City south of the Tuanjiang River.However, after the Wei family was connected to the nine clans, the prince was shot to death by random arrows because of rebellion and treason on the way. It was a civil strife, the first emperor died, and only Emperor Yan was left to inherit the throne, leaving only Prince Yi, Li Li.

It stands to reason that when the new emperor ascends the throne, he will be rewarded for his meritorious service. As his younger brother, besides being named a prince, Li Li can also enter the court as an official and take on important positions.

However, Li Li from the previous life had just hung up his press card, and he had not done the first exclusive report in his life before he arrived in the Great Yan Kingdom.

Facing the coveted Zuo Xiang and Shen's family, he sensibly rejected all important positions, went back to his old job, and began to toss about his gossip tabloids.

That's right, the name is "Gossip Tabloid".

Fortunately, papermaking technology has long been available in this era, and all kinds of paper can be bought in shops, and even printing has become popular.

This created good conditions for Li Li's newspapers.

Although it is not as beautiful and fast as the full digital typesetting of the later generations, nor does it have the printing speed of a mass production line, nor does it have rich colors and patterns... But today's books are mostly printed with classics and historical allusions, and even short stories are rare. , no fun.

Like Li Li, there is no such thing as a hodgepodge of entertainment, daily routines, trends, unofficial history and legends, which may even reveal the secrets of the palace.

It's just that the literacy rate in ancient times was not high, and there were generally many illiterates.

Fortunately, although the army of the Great Yan Kingdom was not as strong as that of the Great Xia Kingdom, in the early years they often spent money to pay tribute to buy peace, but in the end even if they were forced to move the capital, the country was still rich.

The commercial development is like the Southern Song Dynasty that Li Li knew in his previous life, especially in the lower capital, where merchants gather, shops stand everywhere, and romantic talents abound.

People in the capital city would send their sons to read some characters if they had a little extra money, so in other small places, Li Li's tabloids were almost read by the blind, but in the capital city, there were no worries about having no readers.

Who doesn't know the gossip tabloids in the entire lower capital now?

Even those who don't know how to read are waiting for others to read and listen, and the storytellers in restaurants don't lose even one page.

Speaking of tabloids, Emperor Yan thought for a while and said: "A Li, in fact, what the queen mother said is correct, your tabloids can be played for fun, after all, it is not a serious matter, why don't I find you another job?"

For so many years, Li Li's tabloids have been little laces to pass the time, and they have a good reputation, but they are still not on the table.

Emperor Yan knew that his position was not stable, and his younger brother did not dare to reach out to the court, but after all, it is not a problem to be idle in the mansion.

However, Li Li tilted his head when he heard the words, and asked: "Then what can Brother Huang do for me?"

This actually confused Emperor Yan.

If it was an ordinary position, it would be meaningless for Li Li to sit on it, but if it was real power, it would have to be questioned by Prime Minister Zuo.

Seeing that Emperor Yan was hesitant to think, Li Li simply lay down on the table, picked up the teapot and poured tea to play: "Forget it, the jackal is staring at it, so don't make any moves for now. Let's think about it after we get rid of the problem. The most important thing now is to bide your time.”

"But when will this opportunity come? I...have endured long enough." Emperor Yan clenched his fists secretly, his eyes dimmed, "Spring is coming, and I am not qualified to appoint an examiner..."

The tea was poured from one cup to another, and then poured back again, Li Li had a great time.

Timing is up to you.

But without a reliable, quick, and comprehensive source of information, it is like being blind, and even the best opportunities will slip away from your hands.

It was indeed difficult in the early years, and it was difficult to get any information.

But now?

At least in the marketplace, it's not difficult for him to know something like Li Li quietly planting hidden stakes by collecting new things.

His fingers filled the tea and wrote aimlessly on the stone table, and then slowly waited for it to dry to remove the mark.

Emperor Yan lowered his head, but there were four words of "gossip and tabloids" flying around, and his eyes suddenly flashed.

The author has something to say:

Reader: The general has white moonlight? ? ?

Haruka: Hmm...

Li Li: I know who it is

General: I also know who it is

Li Li: I know you absolutely do not know, because only I know

General: Then do I know?

Haruka: I don't know either
