The Great Wei Literary Palace?
Li Guangxiao fell somewhat silent. After a moment's thought, he spoke.
"Your Majesty means you fear the Great Wei Literary Palace will imitate this?"
Li Guangxiao asked with a frown.
"Yes."
The Female Emperor slowly nodded. She had recognized its importance at a glance, and immediately realized that the Great Wei Literary Palace would not let it pass.
"That is true. The Great Wei Literary Palace has the scholars of the world behind it. If it produces something similar, it could probably overwhelm Xu Qingxiao's Great Wei Gazette in an instant."
Li Guangxiao nodded.
The gazette's purpose was not as simple as making money. It spread information far and wide, letting everyone know about a particular matter, while its founder could subtly influence the people of the world.
For example, if a Great Wei official did something with both good and bad aspects, and the writer leaned slightly toward the good, the common people would consider it quite commendable. But if the writer leaned slightly toward the bad, they would develop an inexplicable dislike for that official.
It was that simple. After a few such articles, the official would have nowhere left to turn. Under the people's verbal and written condemnation, could he still sit securely in his position?
This tactic would work against both Great Wei's officials and its Confucian ministers.
How could the Great Wei Literary Palace let such an opportunity slip away?
"I believe the Great Wei Literary Palace would not go that far. Even if it did, it would not distribute its publication among the common people. After all, this is something Xu Qingxiao created."
"I believe the Great Wei Literary Palace would publish a newspaper suited to scholars, so it could control the scholars of the world."
