Chen Ji stopped under the gray eaves of Fuyou Street, looking at the article in the newspaper, oblivious to the carriages and sedans passing by him.
The seventh edition was a contemporary policy discussion, with content all published from civilian submissions.
The article by "Long Whale Sanren" on the court situation that Chen Ji was reading contained a hidden message using an acrostic technique: "Observing the temple disputes today, it is no longer a debate of righteousness. Those who gather by night and disperse at dawn have stolen the power of the Privy Council. You have examined party disasters throughout history, yet people are still intoxicated with the vain reputation of the Pure Stream, unaware that the cunning tigers have occupied the Zhou path. Those who rob the principles of ethics are wearing official gowns and wielding orders. Those who maneuver private interests disguise treachery as service to society. The day of urgent beacon transmission may be imminent."
