Chapter 1689 "Min Bao" incident

Fang Yun slowly flipped through the documents, and some of them made him smile coldly. Those documents actually recommended Ge Yiming to start the "Min Bao".

Moreover, one of them is the sole editor and editor of "Xiangzhou Di Bao".

When the Xing Palace was investigating the supplementary incident, Guan Yi was like an old tortoise shrunk in its shell, motionless. There was no news about him. Now that the punishment in the Xing Palace was over, he would appear immediately.

Guan Yi, in his capacity as the editor and reviewer of "Xiangzhou Di Bao", strongly supported Ge Yiming's founding of "Min Bao" and even pointed out that no matter who started "Min Bao" in Xiangzhou, the review power must rest with the Li Si.

Fang Yun continued to read the documents. Today, the officials of the Lishi were particularly unanimous. In addition to recommending others, they all claimed at the end of the document that the Lisi had the censorship power of the "Min Bao".

All the officials of the Rishi put pressure together.

These Qing officials deliberately went against Fang Yun and recommended forces close to the Qing Kingdom. However, most of the Jing officials took a hint from Dong Wencong and most recommended some non-profit scholarly institutions such as Fang's Library.

Later, Fang Yun held a meeting of Xiangzhou officials. At the meeting, Fang Yun, except presiding over the meeting at the beginning, kept listening to the arguments of the officials without saying a word.

In the lobby of the state government office, the officials were quarreling and arguing.

Qingguan and Jingguan had been arguing from the beginning, arguing about the qualifications of the founder of "Minbao", arguing about the time when "Minbao" was founded, arguing about censorship rights, arguing about the yamen in charge, arguing about length, arguing about publication frequency, arguing about selling price, and finally There is even debate over who should inscribe the words "Min Bao".

Fang Yun watched the officials arguing on the left and right sides of the main hall, and suddenly understood why most emperors in the past died early, probably out of boredom.

Now the struggle between Qingguan and Jingguan has become fierce. Although Jingguan occupies a higher official position, Qingguan is more numerous in the middle and lower levels.

Qingguan's point of view was that since the Xiangzhou Di Bao had always been in charge of the Li Si, the founding and subsequent management of the Min Bao should be left to the Li Si.

Jing Guan's point of view is that the country's Dibao has nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites and is in charge of the Jinzouyuan. Therefore, it should follow the example of the capital and set up a similar department in the Governor's Palace to be responsible for reviewing the Minbao.

The dispute between the two sides became more and more intense. In desperation, Yan Xiao, the prefect of Baling, accused the "Xiangzhou Di Bao" of being pure nonsense and unworthy of the title of "Di Bao" and could only be called a tabloid.

Guan Yi, the editor of "Xiangzhou Di Bao", was furious and accused Yan Xiao.

As Guan Yizheng was talking, Fang Yun spoke lazily and said, "Guan Editor, what Yan Xiao said is not unreasonable. Why are you so angry?"

Fang Yun joined the discussion, and the main hall of the state government instantly fell silent.

Guan Yi is a middle-aged man with three strands of beard. He is over fifty, with sallow skin and a somewhat gloomy complexion. He cupped his hands and said: "For the record, Mr. Governor, I, Xiangzhou Di Bao, always tell the facts and present the truth." The purpose is to convey the fastest and truest things to all officials. There is no nonsense at all. Yan Xiao is really talking nonsense, and the subordinates dare not agree. "

"Oh? "Xiangzhou Di Bao" tells the truth? Why do I read all the "Xiangzhou Di Bao" over the years and see lies? The same paper-making workshop was established in Pakistan fifty years ago. When the mausoleum was being built, you advocated how good the papermaking workshop was, for example, it could feed more people. Workers can lower the price of paper; but not long ago, Baling was going to build a new paper mill, but you didn't mention the benefits of the paper mill. If you bite the paper mill, it will discharge wastewater and kill people. As the editor of "Xiangzhoudi Newspaper", don't you think it's strange?" Fang Yun said.

Guan Yi raised his head and said: "I don't think it's strange, my official. What happened decades ago was because I, Xiangzhou Di Bao, was inexperienced and paid too much attention to the people's income, so I supported the construction of a papermaking workshop. And the reason why it happened a few days ago The opposition to the paper-making workshop is based on the lessons learned from the past. Even if Qingguo's merchants want to build a paper-making workshop, the lower officials will definitely oppose it. "

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Guan Yi Guan, I find you very interesting back then and now. Before the first battle of the Two Realms Mountains, Jingguo and Qingguo had a lot of friction and often engaged in small-scale battles. At that time, You once wrote an article in Xiangzhou Di Bao, pointing out that land is the root of the country. Ben, don't give an inch to Jingguo. Decades later, you wrote an article "It doesn't matter if you give him three feet", thinking that Jingguo should take the initiative to give the disputed Xiangzhou land to Qingguo. I am very curious. "No matter what you have experienced these years, why are your words and deeds so inconsistent?" Fang Yun said.

Magistrate Yan Xiao interjected: "He has not changed. He has always wanted to be a Qingguo person. Unfortunately, the Qingguo people didn't need him back then, but now the Qingguo can't want him."

Guan Yi glared at Yan Xiao and said angrily: "I am talking to the Governor, what does it have to do with you? Governor, this person disturbed the main hall of the state government and should be severely punished and expelled!"

Fang Yun nodded and said, "Guan Sizheng is right, Yan Xiao, do you know your guilt?" Fang Yun's expression suddenly became extremely severe.

Yan Xiao originally wanted to refute Guan Yi, but when he saw Fang Yun's face looking so horrifying, he hurriedly bent down and lowered his head and said, "I am guilty."

"That's good. You talked nonsense in the state government hall and attacked the state right Sizheng. You are now punished to be shut up for three days, silent for ten days, and copy the Thirteen Classics ten times. Only then can you resume the post of magistrate! "Fang Yun said.

All the officials were stunned, even Guan Yi didn't think that he just said it casually and couldn't show weakness. Unexpectedly, Fang Yun not only agreed to expel Yan Xiao, but even gave him a severe punishment.

Yan Xiao looked stunned. Who would have thought that Fang Yun would be so ruthless? Since the dignified governor gave the order, Yan Xiao had no power to resist. He lowered his head slightly and said, "I accept the punishment."

"Very good, Guan Yi, are you convinced by my handling?" Fang Yun asked.

Guan Yi said hurriedly: "I am convinced, your punishment is just right."

Fang Yun nodded and said: "Disturbing the official hall of the state requires punishment. If you disturb Xiangzhou or even disrupt a country, what kind of crime should you do? Guan Yi, answer me."

While Fang Yun was speaking, waves of aura that were familiar to the officials present appeared. It was the aura of the Legalist Code.

All the officials were stunned. Fang Yun had summoned everyone for the purpose of opening the "Min Bao". Why did he suddenly start judging the case?

Guan Yi blinked and said loudly: "If someone disrupts a country, he should be dealt with according to national law. If there is no basis for national law, he should consider not punishing or even releasing him as appropriate."

"Then why did you think it was just right when I punished Magistrate Yan for not complying with the law?" Fang Yun asked.

Guan Yi was stunned, and after thinking for a few breaths, he said: "As the governor, you are within the limits of the national law to deal with it like this. The main reason is that you have not caused any serious harm to the prefect Yan. You are just resting at home. You can't do anything for ten days." Just talking. If you carry out some extremely serious punishment, even equivalent to punishment, it will violate the law and the lower officials will definitely object. "

The officials present already understood that Guan Yi suspected that Fang Yun wanted to punish him, so he answered very skillfully to avoid getting into trouble.
