Chapter 47 The Position of Public Opinion
There are no days of gentleness and treachery, and the replacement of the first assistant and cabinet scholars is like watching the lights, but none of them satisfy him.
Because of this, the deity misses more and more the gentle and treacherous appearance of the monarch and the ministers with tacit understanding, and at the same time, he is also angry with the old thing that ousted the gentle and traitorous minister from power.
So, there are old things who quit and leave and return to their hometowns.
Now, Emperor Chongzhen encountered this situation.
In particular, Emperor Chongzhen's reuse of Lao Wang, Gao Shiming, Fang Zhenghua and others made the old things more and more lost.
You know, he's the first person in the inner court!
Rehabilitated the case of Wei Eunuch, took charge of the East Factory, established the Yongwei Battalion, and the Governor Jingying...... Which post is not majestic, representing the holy family?
But now?
Emperor Chongzhen looked at the old thing who was sincerely frightened, and remembered that he had secretly communicated with the Donglin Party, and he was annoyed. But I thought he was loyal and reluctant.
"Companion, you are my old man, and you have been working hard for more than ten years. I have seen all of these in my eyes, and I have not forgotten them.
However, you shouldn't get involved in the court dispute, help Donglin, slander Wen Qing, make it difficult for me to ride the tiger, and let Wen Qing leave.
Now, who in the court can help me take on government affairs, and who can restrain Donglin? ”
Emperor Chongzhen went straight to the point and pointed out the reason for snubbing the old things.
At the same time, he did not shy away from his attitude towards the Donglin Party in the middle of his words.
"The old slave is stupid, and he has a negative grace, thank the emperor for mentioning it!"
The old thing bowed to the ground, and although his tone was condensed, he was relieved in his heart.
Between people, the most fearful thing is that they don't tell you when they have something to say. That means you've given up and cut off communication.
Now, the emperor can speak bluntly, probably thinking of the old love.
The old thing has lived for so long, and it has long since become a spirit and knows people's hearts.
"Get up!"
Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the old thing out of the corner of his eye, took the resignation letter he handed over, walked to the stove, and burned it.
This is also a bitter force!
helped the Donglin Party so much, but it didn't please him, and he was framed by them.
Is it worth it?
I don't know if the Donglin Party is a white-eyed wolf that can't be fed!
Emperor Chongzhen has always felt that the main reason for the coolness of Daming is only four words, natural disasters and man-made disasters.
Man-made disasters preceded natural disasters.
Because, although natural disasters are terrible, some people say that they will conquer the sky.
In the 5,000-year-old Chinese culture, which dynasty did not have natural disasters?
But man-made disasters have led to the demise of many dynasties?
Nowadays, in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the Jin merchants who are unremittingly digging the foot of the wall, the Jiangnan merchant group represented by the Donglin Party is also making a lot of contributions.
The Ming army was notoriously short of food and wages, not because the country was so poor that there was no money, but because the Donglin Party used various ways to prevent the imperial court from collecting taxes from the merchant group.
As a result, the people were all in need, and the front-line troops mutinied due to lack of pay, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. And the powerful businessmen are so rich that they live happily like gods.
After the courier brother entered the capital, he was surprised to find that there were only 130,000 taels of silver in the treasury, which was not as much as his personal property.
However, Blacksmith Li copied 70 million taels from the house of Wenchen Xungui, and countless other treasures.
With the assistance of such a god who "eats inside and outside", pig teammates, is it strange that Daming is not dead?
"Big companion, Donglin has formed a party for personal gain, excluded dissidents, and is a disaster, don't be blinded by them!
You are a high-ranking pillar of the inner court, my right-hand man, how can you collude with Donglin? ”
Emperor Chongzhen once again knocked on the old thing earnestly.
"Hey, Emperor Shengming, he is an old slave who is confused, deceived by Donglin, and Wen Shoufu is not on good terms, affecting the government and politics, and deserves death!"
has been hanging for more than a year, and the old thing has a deep feeling in his heart, so he has a very good attitude of admitting his mistakes.
"My companion can wake up, and I am very relieved!"
Emperor Chongzhen nodded, there is no doubt that the old thing is loyal, and his ability is also leveraged, to be honest, there are few people in the inner court who can compare to him.
Let him retreat to the countryside is a loss for the imperial court.
"Companion, I have an extremely important thing for you to do, I hope you can do it well?"
"Your Majesty, please command?"
The old thing pouted his buttocks, and immediately leaned over and replied respectfully.
The emperor finally let him come out to do things.
"I am going to set up the Ming Imperial Weekly, which is the Imperial Court Newspaper. It is used to control speech, propagate education, transmit imperial edicts, and open up the wisdom of the people. ”
did not hide the old things, Emperor Chongzhen directly stated his intentions and controlled the way of speech.
Any traveler understands the importance of controlling public opinion, and Emperor Chongzhen is naturally no exception.
Why was the Donglin Party able to coerce the righteousness to persecute the kings and other courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, but not to control the way of speech and fool the ignorant people?
In the Ming Dynasty, they are bricks, beasts, and public knowledge, and they do not accept refutations, and they slander other different parties and emperors to their heart's content, and manipulate public opinion to influence the government.
Now, Emperor Chongzhen wants to regain the position of public opinion.
Moreover, everything Emperor Chongzhen will do next is an important matter related to the survival of the Ming Dynasty, and he doesn't want the public opinion to be taken to the ditch by the Donglin Party.
"The old slave commands!"
The old thing is happy, this job he likes, it suits him perfectly.
He came from a humble family since he was a child, and entered the palace at the age of twelve or thirteen, and his poetry, calligraphy and painting were all excellent, and he was also a talented eunuch.
Being able to control the public opinion of the Ming Dynasty and the disadvantages of the times can undoubtedly make him famous in history.
"Companion, I'll tell you some specific ideas."
Emperor Chongzhen sat down and talked carefully with the old thing about some of the ideas of the Ming Imperial Weekly.
Why is it a weekly, of course, because of traffic.
There are no monthly magazines or monthly magazines, and they are already calculated.
In the Qianqing Palace, combined with the actual situation, the master and servant discussed very eagerly.
"Official, courtiers ask to see!"
During the discussion, the small yellow door in the palace entered the palace to make a statement.
"Xuan!"
Emperor Chongzhen waved the sleeves of his robe and replied in a low voice.
It's almost the same, during this time, Emperor Chongzhen has not held a court meeting for physical reasons, and he has arranged the imperial conquest in the palace.
In the government affairs of the court, he threw them all to Xue Guoguan and Yang Sichang, and did not ask too much.
Now, there must be something they can't call the shots.
Or, the other courtiers couldn't sit still and were going to come to hear the news.
PS: Zhuqing, the beginning of spring, the new year has begun, I wish everyone good health, financial resources, and recommended votes are coming one after another......
