Another way Zhang Qingfeng said was to interview celebrities.
The next day, Zhang Qingfeng entered the palace early in the morning.
"Officials, that's how things are." Zhang Qingfeng explained to Zhao Kuo.
After listening to Zhang Qingfeng's explanation, Zhao Kuo said: "Your interview is quite interesting. Your Da Song Daily can interview me if you want, but I need to read the content before finalizing it."
"Of course that's no problem." Zhang Qingfeng agreed immediately.
After getting along with Zhao Kuo for a long time, Zhang Qingfeng has become very familiar with Zhao Kuo.
Relying on his good piano skills and painters, Zhang Qingfeng was often called into the palace by Zhao Kuo to play musical instruments and paint pictures.
In addition, Zhang Qingfeng also learned guzheng, guqin, pipa, flute and other musical instruments, and his performance was welcomed by the nobles in the palace.
It can be said that if Zhang Qingfeng asks something, as long as it is not excessive, no matter whether it is the empress dowager or Zhao Kuo's concubine or concubine, they will help him within their ability.
This time, Zhang Qingfeng was going to interview celebrities to increase the sales of the newspaper, so he immediately thought of Emperor Zhao Kuo.
Interviewing celebrities, who can be more influential than interviewing Zhao Kuo?
Zhang Qingfeng told Zhao Kuo that letting the common people and scholars know some positive things about the royal family can be loved by the common people.
He also told Zhao Kuo that if Zhao Kuo could be interviewed, he would be the first person in the world to be interviewed by a newspaper and be recorded in history.
Anyway, Zhang Qingfeng spent a lot of time to finally get Zhao Kuo to agree to the interview.
In fact, the reason why Zhao Kuo agreed to Zhang Qingfeng's interview was mainly because of what Zhang Qingfeng said: "Officials, as long as you accept the interview, what you say can be seen by the whole world."
Zhao Kuo never thought that what he said could be seen by the people all over the world, and he was moved when he heard this.
After repeated persuasion by Zhang Qingfeng, he finally agreed to be interviewed.
"Officials, I am now officially interviewing you on behalf of Dasong Daily."
Zhang Qingfeng said to Zhao Gou in a very formal tone: "Officials, let's chat casually first. Many people think that the food eaten by the royal family should be delicacies from mountains and seas. I would like to ask the officials, what do you usually eat? What is it?"
Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's formal question, Zhao Kuo also straightened up and said: "There are still many people in the Song Dynasty who don't have enough to eat. Every time I think about this, I have trouble sleeping and eating. Therefore, I usually don't dare to eat. It’s too luxurious.”
Zhao Kuo said: "Take yesterday's meal as an example. I ate two steamed buns yesterday morning, a bowl of mutton and rice at noon, and a bowl of chicken and rice at night. It's almost like this... "
On this day, Zhang Qingfeng stayed in the palace for a whole day. In addition to interviewing Zhao Kuo, Zhang Qingfeng also chatted with Zhao Kuo for a long time.
Through contact with Zhao Kuo, Zhang Qingfeng discovered that Zhao Kuo is a person who has no airs of an emperor, and he is very easy-going.
However, Zhang Qingfeng also found that Zhao Kuo was less assertive, with soft ears, and was easily bewitched by others.
Especially those who have daily contact with Zhao Kuo can easily confuse Zhao Kuo to do something.
Zhang Qingfeng took advantage of Zhao Kuo's weakness and let a dignified emperor accept his newspaper interview.
Although Zhao Kuo "loves the people like his son", he issues several tax-exempt edicts almost every year.
However, he didn't like to deal with political affairs. In history, there was even a joke, because no matter who submitted the memorial, he would always reply with the word "yes".
Once there were two memorials with completely opposite opinions or even tit-for-tat, but all of them were approved by Zhao Kuo, which made it difficult for the ministers below.
Through this incident, the ministers also knew Zhao Kuo's perfunctory attitude towards reviewing the memorials, and some people even took advantage of this shortcoming and became powerful ministers with a lot of power for a while.
For example, the combination of Queen Yang and Shi Miyuan used Zhao Kuo's soft ears to get rid of Han Tuozhou.
In the following time, one kept whispering to the emperor every day in the palace, while the other quickly took control of the court by taking advantage of the emperor's dislike of dealing with government affairs. As a result, the power of the Southern Song Dynasty fell into the hands of the harem and powerful officials, paving the way for the downfall of the Southern Song Dynasty. Foreshadowing.
It can be said that during Zhao Kuo's decades of emperor career, he was almost "empty".
On the third day after Zhang Qingfeng interviewed Zhao Kuo, Da Song Daily reported an article interviewing Emperor Zhao Kuo.
As early as the next day, Da Song Daily released the news.
As soon as Da Song Daily came out that day, sales doubled to more than 2 copies.
It can be clearly seen that many people buy Dasong Daily just to read the news interviewed by officials.
Next, Zhang Qingfeng interviewed Lu You, Han Yuzhou, Peng Guinian and other celebrities, which stabilized the newspaper's sales.
At this time. Although the "Da Song Daily" is not as good as the "Da Song Daily" promoted by Han Yuzhou with political power, it is still a newspaper with great influence.
"Master Yang, my master wants your Da Song Daily to help promote Yue Fei..."
On this day, the housekeeper of Han Yuzhou's house found Zhang Qingfeng again.
"Promote Yue Fei? Do you want to promote it in a good way or..." Zhang Qingfeng asked the butler of the Han Mansion.
"Naturally it's a good thing. My master wants Master Yang to help spread the word about Yue Fei's loyalty and patriotism." The old housekeeper said, "My master said that if Master Yang is willing to help, he will accept your favor."
"This...since Mr. Han has spoken, I am naturally willing to help." Zhang Qingfeng hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
If Zhang Qingfeng helped Han Yuzhou, he would be grateful to him. On the contrary, if he didn't help, he might be blamed.
With Zhang Qingfeng's small size, he really couldn't bear Han Xianggong's blame.
"Han Steward, please go back and tell Mr. Han that I will step up the promotion of Yue Fei's deeds of loyalty and patriotism." Zhang Qingfeng said to the old steward. "In the next period of time, I plan to write a novel about General Yue. I wonder if this is feasible?"
"If Lord Yang can really write a novel about Yue Fei, then it would be great..."
Next, after the two sides discussed for a while, the old housekeeper left.
Looking at the back of the old housekeeper leaving, Zhang Qingfeng fell into deep thought.
Han Tuozhou began to publicize Yue Fei's affairs, and it seemed that the Northern Expedition was inevitable.
Historically, for the Northern Expedition, Han Yuzhou vigorously promoted the officials of the main combat faction. Lu You, Xin Qiji and others were all promoted.
Then he really rehabilitated Yue Fei, recognized Yue Fei's achievements, and made Yue Fei king of Hubei. Then he cut off Qin Hui's title and changed his posthumous title to Miao Chou.
Miao Chou means absurd and ugly.
After Han Tuozhou chased after Yue Fei and cut off Qin Hui's title, it was recited in temples and among the people for a while, which pleased people's hearts.
Less than two years later, in 1206 AD, Han Tuozhou launched the Kaixi Northern Expedition.
PS: I'm so angry, I thought this chapter had already been posted, but it didn't, and now I missed the time to post it. This month's perfect attendance award is gone, and I feel so sad that I want to cry.
I persisted until the 24th, and only a few days before I could get the perfect attendance award, but because of my carelessness, it was all over.
