Chapter 22 Public opinion battle? Beheading is like cutting vegetables

"Carry up quickly." Duan urged the palace servants, "Long live, I'm coming here in the evening!"

Seeing the palace servants cleaning, Zhang Yuer felt very happy.

The emperor did not forget himself and came to Changchun Palace to sleep from time to time.

But they no longer do that shy thing, just hug, kiss and touch, talk for a while, and sleep in embrace each other.

That's it, which also makes Zhang Yuer feel flattered.

But she didn't know that Zhu Youxiao had another reason besides not wanting to neglect her. She was tired and wanted to have a good night's sleep.

Hard work will bring you rewards. That’s right. But even if you work every day, you can’t stand it even if you are as strong as a cow!

Seeing that the little sister wanted to leave, Zhang Yuer remembered something and asked, "Wan'er, have you learned all the female officials today?"

Zhang Wan'er threw up her tongue with her back to Sister, turned around and smiled with a flattering smile, "Sister, I've learned it all."

"Have you learned it?" Zhang Yuer tilted her head and looked at her younger sister, and smiled and said, "Then let's write it out for me to see."

After pausing, Zhang Yuer pretended to be serious and said, "If you write it wrong, you will be punished to rewrite it a hundred times."

"A hundred times--" Zhang Wan'er immediately had long eyes and moved to the table slowly. She watched the palace maid polish her ink, and the little girl's face turned into bitter gourd.

Zhang Yu'er wanted to laugh, but she covered her mouth with a silk trouser, but her eyes became gentle.

If the emperor is by his side, let himself write it a hundred times, two hundred times will do it!

………………………………………

There is a saying in "Yi Zhou Shu. Rui Liangfu": "Seeing people with words, people embellish their words; using actions to judge people, people exhaust their actions. There is no incompetent speech, and they achieve success in their actions."

What does it mean? It means that by judging quality by a person's words, people will hide their words; by judging by a person's actions, people will strive to do practical things.

According to Zhu Youxiao's understanding, it is even simpler, that is, not only to listen to what he says, but also to observe what he does.

There are so many big fools in the world. If you can't tell the truth or the false, being fooled is a trivial matter. If you are fooled with IQ, it is the most terrifying thing.

For example, the Donglin Party has a great purpose. It is both lenient and policing the people, opposing mining taxes, protecting industry and commerce, and clarifying the administration of officials. It is only a big cake for ordinary people, merchants, and scholars.

But in fact, how did Chongzhen be cheated to death? He was not fooled by the "righteous gentlemen" of the Donglin Party.

When he was in the wild, he was full of sensations and had a noble face of worrying about the country and the people. After he came to power, he was corrupt and corrupt, abolished industrial and commercial taxes, and increased agricultural taxes soared, which led to the continuous peasant uprisings in the late Ming Dynasty.

It is precisely because Zhu Youxiao has a God's perspective that he knows how the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by these bastards in history.

Therefore, for the sake of stability, he can temporarily expel officials who are only able to talk but have no practical ability to work out of the court so that he can carry out reform plans as soon as possible.

But this does not mean that he lost his due vigilance against these hypocritical and shameless guys. Moreover, with the concentration of power and the grasp of the gun, Zhu Youxiao had already dared to wave his butcher knife.

"The king is rich in the people, the overlord is rich in the country, the only remaining rich in the country, the destruction is rich in the basket, the real treasury..."

Zhu Youxiao listened to Liu Ruoyu's explanation and pursed his lips slightly, revealing a sneer.

The words of the wise Xunzi are correct. However, the conservatives who hindered the reform deliberately misinterpreted, or took it out of context, and wanted to compete with me in public opinion. They are really a group of idiots.

The so-called: a monarch who practices the kingly way will make the people rich; a monarch who wants to dominate will make the soldiers rich; a monarch who wants to gain the hearts of the people will make the scholars and officials rich; a monarch who is about to perish the country will plunder the people's wealth and enrich the treasury...

It sounds like nothing wrong, but it will be an excuse to block the taxes on the rich and gentry, and also cleverly satirizes Zhu Youxiao's behavior of plundering money and enriching the treasury.

Unfortunately, my aggregation is not for myself, nor for the greed for pleasure, but for the Ming Dynasty and this country.

And you are what people, what people are? They are all rich and not rich enough?

If you don’t compete with the people for profit, I’m a pity! The “people” you call is businessmen and gentry, and they have nothing to do with ordinary people.

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a while and ordered: "Wang Guozhong, the acting admiral of the Dongchang, came to see him immediately."

This is a matter of starting point. Zhu Youxiao doesn't want to play the clever tricks of fishing big fish on a long line, but instead wants to eliminate them before public opinion has been formed.

Zhu Youxiao didn't think so at all about what truth became clearer and what was confronting and defeating his opponents in public opinion.

Do you think the "Ming Dynasty Forum" is for the people? According to the education popularity rate at that time, how many people could read books and newspapers?

Being able to manipulate public opinion and bewitch and incite the people is the best at the gentry and the only way to compete with the imperial power.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao had to take a ruthless move and eliminated the diehards before they even entered the newspapers.

At the same time, this will also be a solemn warning. I don’t even have any doors to fight with me.

Promote pros and eliminate disadvantages, and revitalize the Ming Dynasty!

If Zhu Youxiao wants to promote deepening reform, he only needs one sound. What a buzzing fly, killing it with one beat.

As for his father-in-law Zhang Guoji, he can only be regarded as a chess piece that led the snake out. After this, he must be honest and dare not take the initiative any more.

………………………………………

In the Zuixian Tower in the capital, several playboys are gathering to drink and have fun.

To be precise, two of them are no longer considered playboys, namely Zhang Junneng from the Hou family of Shouning and Zhao Huizu from the Hou family of Wujing.

Fatty Zhao is no longer fat anymore. Now he is considered a standard body shape, but there is more flesh on his face than others.

As for Zhang Junneng, on the flat ground, he no longer looked like a soft-legged shrimp when he was on the boat. He was so vernacular that he was very energetic.

"In martial arts, I have witnessed the master of the Three Mountains and Five Mountains." Zhang Junneng said and gestured, "There is one who can lift a stone lion, and the other who has a hard head, breaks the tank..."

In Zhang Junneng's words, martial arts became an acrobatic troupe. There were strong men and iron-headed men, and they were almost like shattering big stones on their chests.

Zhao Huizu secretly curled his lips, but seeing others' stupid look as if they were drunk and crazy, they were a little proud, and the dishes stuffed into their mouths became much more fragrant.

In fact, Zhang Junneng was not a martial arts voluntarily, but was taken away by his father, so he wanted to revive the family of Hou's family in Shouning; Fatty Zhao was begged and pulled by his friends, and reluctantly went to martial arts to accompany him.

They were young and didn't know what the adults at home thought. The emperor's series of measures had already touched the powerful and powerful people in the capital. Sending their children to martial arts was also for many ways to retreat.

"In martial arts, can those students from prison and juren be compared with us?" Zhang Jun was more excited after a glass of wine, and he was slapped. "We have fought bloody battles with the Donglu in Liaodong and chopped off the heads."

Oh, ah, the few dandy exclaimed and nodded repeatedly.

Fatty Zhao held a chicken leg to his friend at the right time to plug his mouth. He also signaled with his eyes that he should stop blowing, as it would be leaking.

Zhang Jun could not understand it, thinking that Fatty Zhao felt that he hadn't blown him, so he immediately reached out and patted Fat Zhao on the shoulder and said to the playboys: "There is also Huizu, in Liaodong, there is only one fierce person in Liaodong, and three or four people were chopped off with only one head."

Ah, oh? Everyone was surprised and showed a look of suspicion. Just like Fatty Zhao, who could cut three or four heads, wouldn’t we be able to cut seven or eight?

Fatty Zhao's face was not blushing, and he laughed and said, "It's all about picking up bargains. Follow others and rush forward. If there is Jiannu who is dead on the ground, I will chop off his dog's head."

As he said that, Fatty Zhao waved his palm, lifting the heavy and light movements, and his mouth was also accompanied by a voice, "Crack, crack, it's like cutting a carrot."

Zhang Jun almost sprayed out the wine in his mouth. This fat man is so beautiful that he is even more powerful than me! He hasn't died yet, all the people we cut out are dead, okay?

That's amazing! The playboys were so impressed that they praised them, and they were so brave that they were a hundred times better than theirs!

"Brother Zhao, what a hero!" A playboy looked admiring, stretched out his thumb, picked up the wine glass and said, "I wish you a glass."

Fatty Zhao raised his glass and touched it, then drank it all, wiped his mouth, and said, "Brothers, there are some things I have said, don't not like to listen to it."

"What are you saying?" A playboy showed off your dissatisfaction and said loudly: "What else can we brothers say?"

"Yes!"

"That's it!"

With everyone's unanimous response, Fatty Zhao made a serious look and said slowly: "If we talk about it, we don't have enough food and clothing. With the protection of our ancestors, we will do nothing in our life and we will not be hungry."

Zhang Junneng was also very curious about what this fat man had. He was like a teacher and reached out to pour him a glass of wine.

Fatty Zhao nodded politely to his good friend, took a sip, and continued, "But you'll just spend this life like this, why isn't that going on?"

As he said that, he pointed at Zhang Junneng, "Just say Nengneng..."

"Get out!" Zhang Junneng cursed with a smile: "Don't call my nickname."

Fatty Zhao laughed, didn't care, and said, "Just say, Lao Zhang is still in the middle of your life. When you get old, you can still talk to your children and grandchildren about the battle on the battlefield. Let them know that we are a man."

"Brother Zhao is right." Someone nodded in agreement and said, "My old man said this too. He doesn't have to go to the battlefield, but don't be idle. He has to learn something. Maybe he has to earn his own food in the future."

"Yes, I feel like this world is changing!" Someone sighed again, "The court's policy, this measure..."

A rapid sound of horse hooves sounded outside, interrupting everyone's conversation. They were already by the window, and they could see it without rushing over.

"It's the Dongchang man." Someone looked sharp and could see it at once.

"I wonder who are going to catch again? This situation is quite big."

Seeing dozens of riders galloping past like a whirlwind, everyone returned to the wine table.
