Chapter 655: 1 soon

The season is beginning to fall, and compared to the sweltering heat of midsummer, today's Qingzhou City is a bit cooler than the previous days.
After inspecting the palace five days ago, Xiao Ming put the newspaper matter on his agenda.
This newspaper is also called the media in later generations. In addition to the top-down supervision power, the most important role of the media is to guide public opinion.
After the establishment of the newspaper, he used the characteristics of the newspaper to consolidate his rights.
However, Qingzhou is becoming more and more prosperous, and there are more things happening every day. A newspaper page is far from being able to meet the current needs of Qingzhou.
Taking this into account, he finally decided to increase the number of newspapers.
However, whether the newspapers newly established this time are government-run or privately run, newspapers also need to be reviewed before they are published, instead of letting these newspapers report what they want.
Coming from later generations, Xiao Ming knows that this media is a double-edged sword. If this position is not occupied by itself, it will be occupied by the enemy in the future.
Therefore, whether it is run by the government or privately, the newspaper must be surnamed "Huang", and cannot go against his will in principle.
"The emperor, if an additional newspaper is established, what will happen to the reporters who have previously been to various states and counties?"
In the Conference Hall, Fan Zeng said loudly, now he is wearing a red official robe, and is in the fourth rank of official residence.
After ascending to the throne, Xiao Ming naturally promoted his old ministry vigorously, and Fan Zeng did not pull him down. The position he gave him Fan Zeng was called Zhong Xuan Envoy.
As the name suggests, the responsibility of the Chinese propaganda envoy is to be responsible for the imperial court's internal and external publicity, as well as the future review of other newspapers and newspapers.
After pondering for a while, Xiao Ming said,
The real duty of a reporter is to record the sufferings of the people, not to read newspapers. After retiring from the court, you will include all these newspaper readers in the Central Propaganda Department. It doesn't matter. From then on, propaganda belongs to propaganda, and reporters only serve as reporters."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Fan Zeng was overjoyed.
The addition of a newspaper this time is undoubtedly a happy event for him. He used to govern only one newspaper, but now he can manage five.
And his current identity seems to have jumped out of the newspaper office and become a vital institution of the court.
Now Xiao Ming has brought scholars who read newspapers into the court, and he has a lot of manpower under his hands.
Pang Yukun and Fiji have no idea about this newspaper. They still cannot understand what role the Central Propaganda Department will play in the future, so they remain silent on Xiao Ming's idea of ​​establishing a newspaper.
Fan Zeng retired to the train, and then Niu Ben came out of Lielang and said: "The emperor, the battle report of King Huainan came from Yingzhou City. King Yan and the eldest son Cui Chengju were killed in battle, and the second son Cui Hao was also killed. cut off."
As soon as Niu Ben's words came out, the murmurs of officials rang out in the Yeejeong Hall, and an atmosphere of ecstasy enveloped the Yeejeong Hall.
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, since then, the great Yu country will no longer suffer from the Yan Kingdom." Pang Yukun looked excited.
Fiji also said: "The country of Yan is gone, and your Majesty is one step closer to the day of the great Yu country. Next, you only need to go out to King Liang and King Zhao, and the northern mountains will be stable.
Xiao Ming laughed at this moment. In fact, he had received the news ahead of time. Not only did King Yan have broken off, but the four princes also died in prison. Now there is no leader in Yan's group, only waiting for him to send officials to take charge.
"The King Yan is dead. From now on there will be no Yan Kingdom, Pang Shoufu, and Elder Fei Ge. You two will draw up a copy of officials to be sent to Yandi, and I will send these officials to the prefectures and counties after reviewing them."
"Yes, the emperor." The two men bowed at the same time.
After a pause, Xiao Ming looked at Niu Ben again, and he said, "Yan State is destroyed, when will Liang State have to wait?"
Niu Ben heard a hint of dissatisfaction from Xiao Ming's tone. King Huainan successfully captured Yingzhou City, but now the enfeoffed army has not yet captured Gyeongju. This is really unreasonable.
However, there is a reason why Lu Fei and the others have not destroyed the Kingdom of Yan. Niu Ben said: "The emperor, Lu Fei and Luo Hong led fifty thousand soldiers to the city of Gyeongju. They just went to Gyeongju and killed one. Barbarian cavalry."
"Barbarian cavalry?" Xiao Ming frowned.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the Palace of Political Affairs became serious, and the barbarians, the northern enemy who had become so distracted by the officials of the Great Yu Kingdom, could not hold back.
The expressions of the officials were caught by Xiao Ming one by one, the officials from Chang'an all showed fear, while the officials headed by Pang Yukun had a calm expression.
Niu Ben continued; "The last general is also the news that Lu Fei has just returned. This group of barbarian cavalry has a total of 50,000 people. They do not fight Lu Fei head-on, but continue to attack Liangdao. This makes Lu Fei unable to fight. Failure to send a large number of troops to protect the grain and grass delayed the attack on Gyeongju."
"Fifty thousand?" Xiao Ming frowned. "The cavalry sent by the barbarian to King Zhao is fifty thousand. How can it be such a coincidence."
"Back to the emperor, this group of cavalry was sent by the barbarians to King Zhao. According to the prisoners captured by Lu Fei, with the help of the barbarians, now King Zhao and King Liang have abandoned their previous suspicions, and now they want to join forces to deal with our attack. ."
Xiao Ming lightly breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "The news from Wang Propaganda that the barbarians have sent troops to help Goryeo resist the Japanese nation, and now there is no time to go south. This time, the barbarians did not send other cavalry, but they used 50,000 cavalry to break my food path to delay time. In fact, he is unable to send a large army to support. General Niu should take this opportunity to destroy Liang and Zhao in one fell swoop, and he cannot delay any longer. Once the barbarians withdraw from Goryeo and go south in a big way, there will be no peace in the country!"
Niu Ben suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders heavier again. After the defeat of the Three Kings, Xiao Ming's strategy changed accordingly.
Compared with the conservativeness of the past, Xiao Ming's military strategy is now more radical, and the strong combat effectiveness of the closed team makes him very confident ~ EbookFREE.me~ He believes that the dominance of the North is no longer a problem.
After unifying the north, he can block the barbarians from the Great Wall and implement the strategy of defending the enemy from the country.
"Yes, the emperor, the last general will go to Gyeongju and destroy King Liang." Niu Ben said with a fist.
Nodding lightly, Xiao Ming glanced all over the civil and military, and when he saw that no one was out there, he gestured to Qian Dafu.
Qian Dafu yelled immediately; "If you have something to do early, if you have nothing to do, retreat!"
All the courtiers were fine and ready to leave the court. At this moment, Lin Wentao in the corner of the Conference Hall suddenly woke up like a dream. He said anxiously: "The emperor, the minister has something to do."
Lin Wentao's voice immediately attracted everyone's attention, because officials knew that many of the strange things in Qingzhou came from Lin Wentao.
Xiao Ming also showed an expression of interest. He said, "What is Aiqing going to play?"
"The emperor, the next official has recently built a steam locomotive according to the emperor's instructions. I wonder if the emperor is going to observe it?"
