Chapter 642
(I was discontinued for a few days before, but I really couldn't get up from bed because of illness. I'm very sorry. Today I'm better and finally can update again. I'm very pleased. Thank you for your continued support, thank you everyone!)
Dengzhou, Gaifu.
The prince's young master, the commander of the light chariot, and the governor of Anzhou, Gaiyu got up early in the morning. As usual, he jogged twenty laps in the courtyard, and then practiced a set of Tai Chi. Jogging and Tai Chi were originally necessary for the princes to do morning exercises every day. Until now, the entire town's officialdom has become popular in the entire town, and almost all civil and military officials have started morning jogging and Tai Chi. Although Gaiyu was a general from a military general, he has always been a strategist civil servant. He really likes Tai Chi, such as Tai Chi.
After jogging and Tai Chi, Gai Yu also felt full of energy.
When he returned to the house, the Kunlun slave, who was like black charcoal, had already brought warm water to him, and the two Silla maids helped him bathe and update.
After taking a simple bath and changing clothes, the old butler Gaian had already prepared his breakfast.
A bowl of tofu, two fried dough sticks, two tea eggs, and a stack of cold spicy kelp shreds.
After staying in Dengzhou for a few years, Gaiyu gradually changed a lot of the habits he had in Daibei, and his breakfast became lighter.
After breakfast, Gaian handed over a pot of freshly brewed new tea and presented several newspapers of the day together.
Gai Yu took the teacup and took a sip, but found that it was not the oolong tea he used to drink, so he couldn't help but look at Gai An.
"This is the new tea that the prince just gave yesterday, called Longjing, which was produced in Hangzhou. This Longjing is rare on the market, but it is said that the price is as high as oolong tea, and it can be compared with Mengding Shihua. Yesterday, the prince gave Longjing to the prince, and only General Lin Wei and others."
Gai Yu heard this and thoughtful. He pondered for a moment and nodded at Gai An.
I looked at the newspapers in the tray, but found that several newspapers today were very thick.
The four newspapers, Anton Daily, Dengzhou News, Zhenguo Review, and Donghai Commercial Daily, all have the background of the town. They are now the four largest newspapers in the town, but each has its own focus. The Andong Daily calculates the official newspaper of the town, while Dengzhou News focuses on a city newspaper in Dengzhou. The Zhenguo Review mainly focuses on military and political news, and the world's major events, the Donghai Commercial Daily is a business newspaper, focusing on commerce. However, these four newspapers with more than 100,000 copies of daily sales are all newspapers directly controlled by the town.
In addition to these four major newspapers, there is also a reference message on the table in Gaiyu. This is a newspaper inside the town. Only officials at the county magistrate level can see it. Some more important and some news that is inconvenient for the people to know.
In addition to these five newspapers, there are several magazines and weekly magazines published by the Town**.
In addition, there are more than ten newspapers in front of Gaiyu. Most of these are tabloids. They are not as daily as the major newspapers in the town, and most of them are three-day or five-day. Although these newspapers are not as popular as the four major newspapers, the current development of printing technology and the improvement of papermaking technology have made the paper cheaper and the printing cost not high. The cost of newspapers is not high. As long as the sales volume can be maintained at more than two thousand copies, it is profitable to publish newspapers.
However, the Propaganda Department and the Publication and Printing Bureau of the Town ** are very strict in management of newspapers, so not many people can obtain this qualification. But to now, there are still twenty or thirty newspapers in the Town *** 16 states, most of which are tabloids with only three or five people. There are more than ten newspapers issued by Dengzhou alone. There are fewer people in these newspapers, so they have more gossip news, trivial matters, etc.
However, Gai Yu read newspapers carefully. No matter what tabloids, he would browse all newspapers every morning.
But today it is a bit strange. All tabloids have been published, and they have obviously added versions.
Gai Yu, who was quick-minded, immediately felt that something big might have happened. He presided over the road from Anzhou to Jinzhou, Yingzhou in Anzhou a few days ago, and received a recall order from Li Jing. He had just returned yesterday evening and had not yet come to see Li Jing. The general hurriedly recalled him. Now that he saw these newspapers, he immediately guessed that something big must have happened.
There is a lot of information in various newspapers. The front page headline of Zhenguo Commentary is that Huang Chao has occupied the 15 prefectures in Jiangxi, with 200,000 troops. The court ordered Gao Pian to rule the towns and fight against them.
The headline of Andong Daily was that in Jingmen and Liu Jurong defeated Huang Chao, Li Jing's teacher Cui Yunqing, who killed 200,000 thieves, was transferred from the position of Zhennan Army as deputy PRD of the Anton Protectorate. He has now taken office and Li Jing and others are welcomed in person.
On the Dengzhou news, Li Jing inspected the Dengzhou Martial Arts Hall and Dengzhou Scouts Military Academy yesterday, and made a speech, checked the array of non-commissioned officers and officers in the martial arts hall. Several news in the business newspaper also made Gaiyu feel moved. Several large commercial banks are recruiting more people and purchasing a large amount of raw materials. When Gaiyu looked at it, he knew that these merchants must have received a large subscription.
In those tabloids, Gai Yu saw that this time the general did not recall him. According to the tabloids, almost all the governors and defensive envoys of the sixteen states were ordered to return to Dengzhou, and the government and military affairs of each state were handed over to the Second Officer.
Gai Yu's eyes lit up. He found the lowest reference information. Usually he read this internal reference last. There were not many news published on the reference information, but one of them surprised Gai Yu and almost spoke out.
Gao Pian sent an envoy to order the capital to the capital, asking the commander Li Jing to dispatch troops south to encircle Huang Chao.
This news shocked Gai Yu, but it was not the only one. There was also news above that Lu Xie, who had resumed the imperial court, sent officials to Dengzhou and actually came to collect taxes.
The black clouds are pressing against the city and the city is about to be destroyed, and the storm is about to come and the wind fills the building!
Gai Yu smelled a strong smell of gunpowder.
"Honor." Gaian whispered behind Gai Yu, "The Prince Andong is here!"
Gai Yu was thinking about his thoughts, but was interrupted by Gai An. He didn't hear what he said clearly, so he said in a somewhat blameful tone: "Have you said you have already said to thank the guests behind closed doors?"
But Gaian did not leave, and still stood behind Gaiyu. He was extremely surprised at Gaiyu's answer. But when he saw Gaiyu's appearance, he did not dare to disturb him. He stood hesitantly for a moment.
Gai Yu did not notice his actions, his eyes only stayed on a few newspapers on the table.
Li Jing's teacher Cui Yunqing fought an unprecedented victory in Jingmen, but was removed from his position as the commander of the Jieshou and transferred to Andong. At the same time, the court appointed Gao Pian as the governor of the various camps. Lu Xie was reinstated as prime minister and more than prime ministers. The court had more than Dou Lu Sheng, two prime ministers Cui Lu, but fewer were Zheng Ting and Wang Duo, who had always opposed Tian Lingzi and Lu Xie.
Now, after Gao Pian returned to the command of the capital, he transferred the troops from all over the town to gather in Huainan, and while directly sent the transfer order to Dengzhou.
At the same time, Lu Xie sent people to Dengzhou to collect taxes. In addition, Tian Lingzi sent eunuchs to Dengzhou to establish the Dengzhou Maritime Bureau, sent eunuchs to serve as Maritime Commission, and set up customs to collect taxes.
The visitor is not good!
Gai Yu saw that the general Li Jing was not unresponsive. He inspected the martial arts lecture hall and military academies and inspected the soldiers. At the same time, he transferred the civil and military commanders from the sixteen prefectures to Dengzhou.
All of these made the atmosphere in Dengzhou tense.
The court lost the two powerful opposition parties, Zheng Ting and Wang Duo, and Tian Lingzi and Lu Xie had already gained an absolute advantage in the court. Now Tian Lingzi, Lu Xie and Gao Pian formed a strong alliance from the inner court to the government affairs hall and the local government. Now, they pointed directly at Li Jing.
However, contrary to the past, the coach seemed to have no intention of giving in this time!
Should the Grand Marshal change his previous strategy of keeping low profile and preparing to fight toughly? But Gao Pian, Lu Xie and Tian Lingzi now basically represent the court and Li Tang. Will the Grand Marshal not know? Or, the Grand Marshal now has 16 states and holds 200,000 soldiers, and is no longer afraid of turning against the Tang Dynasty?
Thinking of this, Gai Yu was not only not shocked at all, but instead showed a smile on his face. Three years ago, he had already embraced Li Keyong with the rich families of Daibei to go against the Tang Dynasty. He did not have any loyalty to the emperor and patriotism for the Tang Dynasty.
A burst of excitement arises in Gai Yu's heart!
Suddenly, Gaiyu saw that Gai An was still standing here to serve, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's nothing here. You don't have to accompany me here. Today, the prince may have to summon me, and I won't go out."
"The head of the family, the prince has arrived in the mansion." Gai An said.
"What?" Gai Yu was surprised, "Has the Grand Marshal arrived in the mansion?"
"Well, the Grand Marshal is here."
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Gai Yu stomped his feet and threw the reference message on the table. He hurried to the front yard, complaining, "Oh, come with me to greet you."
When Gai Yu walked to the mansion, he saw Li Jing wearing a white cloth long gown with ordinary style but never cheap style. He simply tied up a cloth belt, calmly carrying his hands on his back, waiting in front of the mansion's door. He was neither dissatisfied nor impatient on his face.
Although he was dressed in ordinary clothes, his aura was extraordinary, especially the few servants behind him, who were like a deep pool and could not see the bottom.
Let the dignified Prince Andong, Ziqing, Zhenguo, Lu Long, Datong, and the generals of the five towns of Andong wait in front of his mansion for a long time, and Gai Yu couldn't help but blush. He quickly walked to Li Jing, bowed and said, "It is really a rude thing to let the Prince wait for a long time, and I hope to forgive my crime."
"It's okay." Li Jing said lightly with his hands behind his back, his face calm and he didn't care about it.
"Please enter the palace!" Gai Yu said, while respectfully leading Li Jing into the palace. The servants of Gai Mansion opened the middle door early, and all the young and old came to greet him. Li Jing said a few polite words to Gai Mansion and asked them to go down. Gai Yu led Li Jing to the living room and invited Li Jing to sit down, and the servants gave tea. After Li Jing entered the palace, he had no extra words, and Gai Yu did not say much.
After taking the first sip of tea, Li Jing put down the tea cubes and looked at Gai Yu and said, "I must have known that this commander not only recalled the mail to him this time, but also summoned the civil and military commanders of the sixteen states to return to the town."
"I only saw it when I read the newspaper this morning."
"Well, I'm calling you back in a hurry. There is an extremely important thing. I want to listen to your opinions. This afternoon, the General's Office will be held at the Tianlang Festival Hall. All military and military officials at the first-level and state-level civil and military levels will participate. However, before this, there are some things that I want to hear your opinion first."
