The layman watches the fun, while the insider sees the tricks.

If a big man who is used to intrigue in the court finds a new thing, his subconscious first reaction is "friends and friends" and his second reaction is "pros and cons".

The so-called "gossip report" is actually a casual version of "Dibao", but it is not as serious as the dibao. Most of the contents of the dibao are government orders and decrees sent by the imperial court to local governments, and each one can be officially recorded in history books.

The Bagua Newspaper is different. Each of them is not qualified to be recorded in history books, but there must be more people interested in it than those who read the Dibao Newspaper, because every article in the Bagua Newspaper is inappropriate. From ancient times to the present, Chinese people are very interested in spying on the privacy of others, especially celebrities. The Bagua Newspaper just satisfies the unjust secret needs of people.

Later generations "no one asked about the general's grave, and the actors' family affairs are known to the world" was the result of the decline of morality. In this life, Gu Qing invited the court officials and the folk poets to be actors.

Two thousand gossip reports were invested in Chang'an City, a population of one million. After confirming the human-to-human transmission, the effect was really sensational. Even Gu Qing did not expect the sensation.

Few people have summarized this aspect of celebrity anecdotes before. Even if they summarized the celebrity events at that time, they were only recorded in a small notebook for their own entertainment. No one was as bored as Gu Qing, and they actually thought of telling the story of celebrities to attract the attention of the public.

Two days later, Yang Guozhong found Gu Qing.

This time Gu Qing really shocked him. Unexpectedly, a mere young man came to Chang'an and kept causing trouble without even standing firmly.

In order to find out the source of this gossip report, Yang Guozhong spent a lot of effort to send countless people to the restaurants and inns in Chang'an City. Finally, he caught a hired street rogue and dug out two businessmen from Qingcheng County, Shuzhou.

The clue was reported to Yang Guozhong, and Yang Guozhong immediately thought of someone.

In Qingcheng County, Shuzhou, he has been more sensitive to this place recently. During the last garden feast, Yang Guifei specially called Gu Qing to introduce the two to each other. The concubine always called Gu Qing as "little fellow townsman" and said intimate tone, as if she was doting like a brother. Yang Guozhong then had a deep impression of Gu Qing.

Now that we checked the so-called "gossip report" and finally found two businessmen from Qingcheng County. Yang Guozhong immediately thought of Gu Qing, but the gossip newspaper said that it was also the garden party that day...

So Yang Guozhong ordered not to touch the two businessmen, but to visit Gu Qing in person.

Changlefang is relatively remote. Yang Guozhong staggered in front of Gu Qing's house in a carriage. After the carriage stopped, he did not get off the car, but asked his followers to knock on the door first and handed over a message.

This is the ancient rule of visiting others. The so-called "not asking for a visit is for a bad guest." Before visiting others, you must first submit a visitor to the person and explain the time and location of the person. After the host happily agrees, the guest will come to the door again. If the host has something to do, he will make another appointment with the person who sent the visitor. Before the two parties meet, the courtesy will be fully qualified. Unlike the mobile phone phones in later generations, whether the host is willing to communicate or not, the mobile phone will ring and hide at the end of the world and you can find you. This is a bad guest.

The entourage went forward to knock on the door, and the back door opened a few times. The entourage respectfully handed over the prayer letter and said a few words to the people inside the door. Yang Guozhong kept observing through the curtain of the carriage. Not long after, the entourage walked back with a piece of paper with a strange look on his face and handed it to Yang Guozhong with both hands.

Yang Guozhong took it for no reason and opened it. He saw a line of ugly words on it, which said "A good person has a safe life."

"What...what does this mean?" Yang Guozhong asked in surprise.

The follower twitched his cheeks and lowered his head and said, "It means that Gu Zongjun is waiting for the visit of Yang Taifu."

"You didn't tell him that I was in the carriage outside?"

"Sayed."

"Then he asked you to hand out a line of words, what does 'A good person' mean? Tsk, what an ugly word."

The follower said respectfully: "Gu Shenjun talked about the rituals and reciprocity. After Yang Taifu handed over the greeting, he wanted to reply, saying that replying was polite and 'save the dignity of the poster'. The villain didn't understand what he meant."

Yang Guozhong stared at the lines in his hand and pondered for a long time, his mind was spinning rapidly. While he was thinking about the meaning hidden in the lines, he could not guess after thinking about them. While secretly annoyed that his IQ was insufficient, he had to passively think that the lines should mean blessings.

After being helped off the carriage by his followers, Yang Guozhong walked to the door of the Gu family's house, and his mind was still thinking.

"What is the point of saving the dignity of the poster? Is my dignity provoked? Who dares to commit suicide like this? Or, the gossip newspaper is written to save my dignity after falling into the water, making me less embarrassed. Gu Qing is revealing goodwill to me?"

Yang Guozhong thought to himself, his face was gloomy and his followers stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The door opened, revealing Gu Qing's unhappy face. This kind of face appeared at the doorstep. Anyone who is more sensitive must feel that the owner's face is full of rejection. Those with a stronger temper will inevitably turn their heads and leave, and then break up from then on.

Fortunately, Yang Guozhong had met Gu Qing, and he knew that Gu Qing looked like this, so he was not unhappy at all.

"Haha, Gu Xiaolangjun, it's been a long time since I've been missing. I'm really presumptuous, don't blame me for it," Yang Guozhong laughed.

Gu Qing also smiled: "Yang Taifu came to the humble house, it was Penghu Shenghui. How could he say it was arrogance? Yang Taifu, please come inside."

The two of them walked into the front hall. Yang Guozhong looked around and nodded slowly.

The house is remote and relatively small. Compared with Yang Guozhong's mansion in Chang'an, which is comparable to the palace, Gu Qing's house can only be considered as barely enough to live in.

"If you have a house to study, you will be elegant and elegant. My brother's house is good." Yang Guozhong praised against his will.

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Yang Taifu laughed at me, it's not that it's so elegant, mainly because the housing prices in Chang'an are too expensive, but the officials are too poor..."

Yang Guozhong laughed. This chatting ability is perfect match for his unhappy face.

After looking around, Yang Guozhong was surprised to find that there were no housekeepers and maids in the house, and Gu Qing was the only one in the huge house. It was okay during the day, but wouldn’t it be as gloomy as a ghost house at night?

"If my brother is inconvenient, I am quite at ease. Tomorrow, I will arrange some servants, maids and guards for my brother. No matter what, my brother is also an official, and he is highly valued by the imperial concubine. Life should not be too shabby."

Gu Qing hurriedly refused: "Thank you for your kindness in Taifu Yang. The house was just given by His Majesty. The backyard is still being repaired and decorated. After the decoration is completed, we will hire a housekeeper and servant. We have to deal with it in the past few days without any hindrance."

It’s not that I don’t want to take advantage, but the future prime minister of the Tang Dynasty arranged for the housekeepers to Gu Qing’s mansion. Who knows how many eyes and eyes are in Yang Guozhong’s eyes and ears are there? They all have ulterior motives, but they will be in trouble at that time, but it will be a hindrance to Yang Guozhong’s face. They cannot beat or kill their servants, which will be a headache.

After the two chatted for a while, Yang Guozhong finally got to the point. He took out a wrinkled gossip report from his arms, pushed it to Gu Qing with a smile, and said, "Brother Yuu is rude and guessed it. I'm afraid this so-called 'gossip report' should be the work of a virtuous brother?"

Gu Qing didn't even read the newspaper, and said calmly: "That's right, it's from the Xiaguan..."

Before Yang Guozhong could speak, Gu Qing blinked again and said with a smile: "Your mansion investigates the source of the gossip report. Did you find two businessmen from Qingcheng County and stop tracing it? Yang Taifu guessed from the three words "Qingcheng County" that he was a vassal?"

Yang Guozhong said in shock: "You know everything?"

"It's not that you know everything, but this gossip report is basically done for Yang Taifu. Everything is led by the lower officials. You haven't seen the evaluation of you in the gossip newspaper is both positive and majestic. In the past few days, Yang Taifu must have heard a lot of praise about you, right?"

Yang Guozhong said in confusion: "Why should I bring my brother to this newspaper?"

Gu Qing looked at Yang Guozhong's eyes and said frankly: "There is a low official position and there are very few friends in Chang'an City, but this newspaper is a good thing. Its significance is not to make money, but to public opinion..."

Yang Guozhong seemed to have realized something: "'Yu' is the people, the 'argument' is the analysis and judgment, and the 'public opinion' is the voice of everyone analyzing the truth, right?"

Gu Qing smiled and said, "That's right, Yang Taifu is very talented. But does Yang Taifu know that the public opinion of the public can actually guide or even mislead?"

Yang Guozhong said oh, saying, "I hope to hear the details."

"Take the gossip report in front of you as an example. It records that the Qujiangchi Lake in Yang Taifu was killed by thieves and fell into the water on the day. After falling into the water, according to the real situation, the Yulin Guard could not catch the thief. Yang Taifu had no choice but to give up. However, the gossip report said that Yang Taifu was tolerant and elegant, saying that he would not pursue the matter anymore and spread to the streets and alleys of Chang'an. Is the world's reputation for Yang Taifu a thousand miles a day?"

"What the Bagua News does is to guide public opinion. Everything has its positive and negative sides. The so-called "Looking horizontally into a ridge and a peak, with different distances and heights," the Bagua News is in my hands. I can decide from which angle the world should look at a thing, and even decide whether it is a good or a bad thing, is this person a good person or a bad person, what does Yang Taifu think?"

Yang Guozhong's eyes lit up: "'Looking from a horizontal perspective, it becomes a peak, and it is different from the distance, height and height.'... A good poem! It is worthy of being a talented man who writes 'I hope people will live long and share the beauty of the moon with thousands of miles apart'. The words are as wonderful as the words."

Gu Qing was stunned. I copied it again? Whose poem was from?

If you don’t care, just copy it, what if you do?

Then Yang Guozhong said again: "Brother Yu has heard what my brother means. Do you want to work with Brother Yu to do this gossip report?"

Gu Qing smiled and said, "That's right, not only to invite Yang Taifu, but also to invite the imperial concubine to become an official. I wonder if Yang Taifu is willing?"

Yang Guozhong frowned and pondered: "This gossip report... seems to be a bit ostentatious. In the future, I may criticize the court officials, which will be unfavorable to my position in the court..."

Gu Qing smiled and said slowly: "Xiaoguan said just now that everything has both positive and negative sides. Yang Taifu might as well imagine that if Taifu has any irreconcilable political enemies in the court in the future, then..."
