"What? No way! Absolutely not! "
Workshop, Datang Daily Editorial Department.
A thin, silver-haired old man in purple slammed the table and said angrily, "The Tang Dynasty Daily has become the face of our Tang Dynasty. How can we treat the content of the paper as a child's play?! Absolutely not! Even if County Magistrate Li is here, I can't agree! "
"Junior Supervisor Yu, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. When the Censorate was established by His Majesty, its purpose was to monitor the unreasonable content in Datang Daily. The scope of the Censorate's authority was clearly defined. As long as it didn't involve party politics or maliciously smear the reputation of the court, it would be approved without any reason!"
When Ma Zhou heard this, he was not afraid of the old man's imposing aura at all. He immediately stood up and retorted, "The two requests that Lord Jue has made today do not involve any political strife or maliciously smear the reputation of the imperial court. Junior Eunuch Yu has no right to reject them!"
Junior Supervisor Yu. That purple-clothed old man was none other than the 'head' of the interrogation department of the Tang Daily that Li Chengqian had single-handedly established — Junior Supervisor Yu Shinan.
Yu Shinan was good at calligraphy. During the Chen Dynasty, he served as Minister of Justice Cao and Minister of Xiyang. After entering the Sui Dynasty, he became an official secretary. After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, he was appointed by Dou Jiande as Assistant Minister of the Yellow Gate. After Li Er killed Dou Jiande, he appointed Yu Shinan as Minister of the Qin Palace, Secretary of the Secretariat, and Scholar of the Hongwen Academy. He was one of the "18 Scholars" with Fang Xuanling and others.
In the eighth month of the ninth year of Wude, Li Er ascended the throne and Yu Shinan was promoted to Minister and Scholar of the Hongwen Academy. This year, Yu Shinan was already sixty-nine years old, so he submitted a petition to resign. Li Er refused and promoted him to the Crown Prince's right concubine's son. Yu Shinan refused and was promoted to Junior Supervisor.
This year, Li Zexuan's Datang Daily came out of nowhere and stirred up a storm. It made some people in the court nervous. The seventy-year-old Yu Shinan was once again "appointed" to the Censorate as an "Army Supervisor". Old Yu's enthusiasm for his work would make him a model worker in modern times! He really lived his life for work and for the world!
"You … you brat, you're twisting words and forcing logic!"
Hearing Ma Zhou's seemingly reasonable but completely fallacious arguments, Yu Shinan's old face flushed red as he scolded angrily.
"If Junior Eunuch Yu doesn't agree, then we can only vote. Scholars present, if you agree with Lord Jue's temporary arrangement, please vote! If you don't pass, then I can only ask His Majesty to make a judgement! "
Ma Zhou shook his head and looked at the rest of the people in the field. Today, it was the first time the original staff of Datang Daily had clashed with the newly established Interrogation Division.
There were five scholars in the Inquisition Division. When there was a disagreement, they could vote on their own. The minority had to obey the majority, so it could be considered quite "democratic".
"Junior Supervisor Yu, what Steward Ma said is reasonable. Although Li Xiannan's temporary arrangement is somewhat absurd, it is not against the rules. Furthermore, in view of the fact that tomorrow is Li Xiannan's big day, this arrangement is understandable. There is no need to bring this small matter to Her Majesty, right? That's why I agree ~! "
An old man who was about the same age as Yu Shinan spoke up.
This person was called Su Shizhang. He was also one of the eighteen scholars in the Hongwen Library. His reputation was not much lower than Yu Shinan's, and he was currently the Interrogation Division's Physician.
"Physician Su's words are reasonable. I agree as well!"
"I agree as well!"
"I agree as well!"
The rest of the people expressed their agreement. The main reason was that Li Zexuan's side was in the right. Even if they did not agree, it would be useless. Instead, it would cause a lot of trouble in the future. After all, the editorial department had the right to supervise the Interrogation Division.
"Hmph ~! Using the country's national weapon for personal use, what nonsense ~! "
Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Yu Shinan angrily snorted and left in a huff.
… … …
"Hey, Lord Jue ~! 35 new carriages are all here for you ~! "
In the evening.
Pang Feiji led the huge fleet of carriages to the Li Residence. Coincidentally, he met Li Zexuan in the front yard, who was instructing the servants. Pang Feiji hurriedly threw down the reins in his hand and walked up to him with a smile.
"Oh ~! Not bad, not bad ~! You came at the right time! San Bao, bring a group of people to decorate these carriages. Hang all of them with red ribbons and red silk flowers! "
After the 35 carriages "squeezed" into the residence, the front yard immediately became crowded. As far as the eye could see, there were carriages everywhere. Li Zexuan looked around and ordered.
"Okay ~! Young Master! "
San Bao responded and went to bring people to work.
"Cough ~! Lord Jue! Why don't I go and help too? Anyway, these brothers have nothing to do. "
Brother Chicken saw that they were the only ones who had nothing to do and hurriedly tried to curry favor with him.
This guy had long integrated himself into the "Li Group". If it wasn't for Yuchi Jingde calling him back to the Wu Hou Government for a meeting every once in a while, this guy would have probably forgotten that he was a Wu Hou. There was no other reason. It was just that ever since he followed Li Zexuan, his life had been too comfortable.
"Ha ~! That's great! Airplane, if you guys have nothing to do now, stay and help. There will be plenty of good wine and food tonight! "
When Li Zexuan heard this, his eyes lit up. He was still lacking manpower! He didn't expect that someone would send him a pillow when he was about to doze off.
He used to call Pang Feiji Pang Sige, but Pang Feiji felt that it was too distant, so he strongly requested Li Zexuan to call him "Feiji". In the end, Li Zexuan called him "Airplane". Anyway, outsiders wouldn't be able to tell that there was anything wrong with it.
"Hehe! Lord Jue, the brothers below are waiting for you to say that! "
Pang Feiji chuckled and turned to order, "Did you all hear that? Go and help! "
"Haha! Yes, Boss! "
The 30 over people brought by Brother Chicken responded excitedly and went to find San Bao to get work.
The news of the Li family spending a few thousand strings of coins to host a banquet to entertain the makeup team had long spread. They were lucky enough to have a meal here, so how could they not be willing? All he did was contribute a little bit of strength.
"Airplane, don't go first! I have something to talk to you about! "
When Li Zexuan saw that Brother Chicken had rolled up his sleeves and was about to go to work, he couldn't help but feel that it was a little funny. If this guy was in the modern world, he could be considered the director of a local police station. Why was he acting like a henchman now?
"Ah ~! Okay, Lord Jue, please give me your orders! "
"It's like this, how many people do you have under you now?"
Li Zexuan brought Brother Chicken to the main hall and asked.
"Mm ~! The workshop and Strange Culture together have a total of 100 brothers. Lord Jue, do you feel that you don't have enough manpower? Then I'll go and call them all over now! "
"No need, no need! There's no need for that today! "
Seeing that Brother Chicken was ready to "run" at any time, Li Zexuan quickly said.
