I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Li Yuan said with a smile on his old face, “Don’t rush to thank you. Although I promised to give you the official news from the Imperial Court, I am not unconditionally giving it to you. “

Du Qi said: “No matter what the conditions are, as long as His Majesty promises to give the message, youngster is willing to comply. Even more how, youngster believes in His Majesty and will not cheat youngster.”

He put a special sentence behind.

This is used to block Li Yuan.

Li Yuan said: “You youngster, always cunning, put a high hat on me in advance. But you are right, I, Monarch of the entire Country, sits on the whole world, and you do what “

“I agree to the Imperial Bulletin you want to set up.”

“However, the Imperial Bulletin can only publish news that is beneficial to the Imperial Court. Any other unfavorable news is not allowed. Printing and distribution. Of course, you have to serialize your novel and other irrelevant content on the Imperial Bulletin. I have no opinion.”

“This is the first condition.”

Li Yuan looked at Du Qi and asked: “Du youngster, do you accept this first condition?”

“No!”

Du Qi Answer directly.

Li Yuan frowned immediately. The conditions he put forward were actually very simple.

The public opinion needed by the Imperial Court is beneficial to the Imperial Court. If the Imperial Bulletin is allowed to publish news at will, when the time comes, it will be bad news for the Imperial Court. Then, for the Imperial Court , It will inevitably affect the hearts of the people and make Great Tang turbulent.

This is not allowed by Li Yuan.

Li Yuan’s mind turned, he was so hot, he immediately had an idea in his heart, and continued: “Du Erlang, if you say you don’t accept my opinion, then talk about your reasons. If you I can’t name a Ugly Yinmao, and I don’t have to say about the following conditions. If you don’t accept it, I will not allow you to establish an Imperial Bulletin.”

Du Qi said neither humble nor overbearing: “His Majesty, On the Imperial Bulletin, you said that only public opinion messages that are beneficial to the Imperial Court are allowed. This is good. But bad news, what kind of news do you mean?”

Li Yuan said: “Of course it is Bad news.”

He was puzzled.

The unfavorable is the unfavorable news. What can be justified and what can be explained.

This is very simple.

Du Qi said resolutely: “For example, in Great Tang, earthquakes, floods and other disasters occurred in a certain place. We learned the news in advance, but the Imperial Court has not paid attention to it. Will such news be published?”

Li Yuan said: “This is naturally to be published. News of earthquakes, floods, etc., is not unfavorable news.”

Du Qi said: “You can think about it carefully. After the floods and other news come out, it may affect people’s hearts. It may even affect the official posts of some officials. Such news, from a different perspective, may become bad news.”

paused, Du Qi said again: “For another example, the Imperial Court executed dozens of corrupt officials at once. Is this kind of news bad news or good news?” Li Yuan said: “Of course it is good news. “

“no!”

Du Qi shook his head and explained: “His Majesty, the angle of choice is different. This news may become bad news. Because of this After the news came out, it might be thought that it was the Imperial Court’s inability to control the officials, and the Imperial Court tolerating the corruption of officials, making the people unhappy.”

“Then some officials would choose to cover their lids, The news is suppressed, so it is impossible to publish it.”

“Of course, looking at it from another angle, the imperial court has such a great effort to deal with officials, to investigate and rule out officials, and to eliminate officialdom. It is a very promising move. , Is beneficial to the Imperial Court.”

“From this perspective, the news is actually another piece of good news.”

Du Qi analyzed the quality of the news.

After Li Yuan heard it, it became clear. These different news, viewed from different angles, have different degrees of quality.

This is the most critical.

Li Yuan looked at Du Qi in front of him. Although Du Qi was young, the words Du Qi uttered did not appear young and immature at all, but rather mature.

Even the insights of many officials may not be comparable to Du Qi.

This impressed Li Yuan.

Plus Du Qi has a good character, so Li Yuan now appreciates Du Qi very much.

Li Yuan stroked his beard under his jaw and asked: “Du Erlang, tell me, what is the standard for publishing Imperial Court news? Since it is the Imperial Bulletin, you cannot publish it at will. If everything is triggered, once public opinion is triggered, the situation will be difficult to control.”

Du Qi said resolutely: “His Majesty, youngster thinks that it cannot be published is very simple, it involves the affairs of Great Tang , The news is never allowed to appear false. Once it is made up, it will be arrested and sent to jail immediately.”

“Besides, there is no need to set up blocking levels. This standard is enough.”

“Because whether it is good news or bad news, as long as the news is published, for His Majesty, in fact, it can actually play a role and let His Majesty understand the situation.”

“If everything is good news, how can it help His Majesty?”

Du Qi continued: “His Majesty, what do you say?”

Li Yuan finished listening and pondered carefully.

Du Qi’s words are very interesting.

It also makes sense.

Because according to Du Qi’s approach, Imperial Bulletin can indeed be used as a reference standard. Even with such an Imperial Bulletin, he is not easy to be deceived.

Li Yuan thought for a while, and said: “Du Erlang, your analysis, I have adopted it. In that case, I don’t make settings for the information on the Imperial Bulletin, only true and false as the standard. But I , There is a second requirement.”

Du Qi said: “His Majesty, please tell me.”

Li Yuan said solemnly: “Since the Imperial Bulletin is related to the Imperial Court news, His affiliation cannot be a private person, it must be under the jurisdiction of the government. Not only that, the Imperial Bulletin must publish any article that the government wants to publish.”

Du Qi said: “Of course!”

Speaking of this, Du Qi continued: “Imperial Bulletin belongs to the government, and youngster naturally has no opinion. It’s just that the operation of the Imperial Bulletin, youngster still believes that it cannot be operated in accordance with the official organization. It only needs to be governed by a major event. Yes, people from the Imperial Bulletin will report the situation to the Imperial Court on a regular basis. For the rest, the Imperial Court does not participate in the normal operation of the Imperial Bulletin. Otherwise, the Imperial Bulletin is prone to problems.”

“Yes!”

Li Yuan said: “So, this involves my third condition.”

Du Qi listened with respect and waited quietly.

Li Yuan said: “My third condition is about you. Although you are not an official, you must be responsible for all matters of the Imperial Bulletin. Since you are not an official in the court, I Here is a dismissal official. From this dismissal position in your body, what do you think of managing the Imperial Bulletin?”

Finally, I returned to the official position.

However, Du Qi does not contradict this official position.

Great Tang’s official positions include official positions, lord, and scattered officials. Officials are official positions with positions, while the lord is Nobility Rank. As for the scattered officials, they are actually more like ranks, because the scattered officials There is no position, but a rank.

Many of the officials of Great Tang are of high rank, but in fact, they hold low ranks. In other words, if Li Yuan wants to give Du Qi a rank, he only receives salaries and does not do anything.

This is the best arrangement.

Du Qi immediately said: “His Majesty Ron, youngster thanks His Majesty, youngster is willing.”

Li Yuan smiled and said: “Imperial Bulletin is also very important, although the Imperial Court No matter, but you also need to report back to the Imperial Court. Therefore, I give you the position of Xuan Yilang under the Seventh Rank.”

Xuan Yilang is a prose officer under the Seventh Rank.

For youngsters like Du Qi, this is a pretty good official rank.

Du Qi thanked him immediately, with a bright smile on his face. He will not be an official and will not enter the Imperial Court. However, it is also very good to be able to have a prose officer.

Du Qi said: “His Majesty, since the establishment of the Imperial Bulletin, the name of the Imperial Bulletin, youngster has an idea, and it is called Great Tang Daily Newspaper, which means a daily newspaper. What does His Majesty think?”

“Yes!”

Li Yuan answered immediately.

For Li Yuan, the existence of the Great Tang Daily Newspaper means he has a mouthpiece to control public opinion.

This is extremely useful.

Li Yuan thought of this and said: “Du Erlang, you are responsible for mastering the Great Tang Daily Newspaper. Then this Great Tang Daily Newspaper, when you need to report, you directly report to me, and you belong to me directly. As for the news you need, I arrange Xiao Li to let him arrange for someone to send the news to you every day.”

Xiao Li echoed: “Old slave obeys!”
