There is a difference between not daring and not being right, if you think something is wrong, then let you do it, you don't want to go, if you don't dare, it means that you think this thing is right, but the conditions are not ripe, once the conditions are ripe, you are likely to be the first to jump out. Gao Panlong understood the meaning of the apocalypse at this time, the so-called propaganda is naturally to promote loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, the sanctity of imperial power, and the idea that any idea of violating is not right or daring. If you think it's right, if you don't dare now, it doesn't mean that you won't dare in the future, even if you people don't dare, it doesn't mean that your successors don't dare, you really have this heart, and the Donglin Party is a chaotic minister and thief with ill intentions, so there is no need to exist.

Gao Panlong suddenly remembered one thing at this time, a while ago, the Apocalypse issued an edict requiring that any gang that did not put loyalty in the first place must be disbanded, strictly speaking, the Donglin Party also belongs to the nature of a gang, if the loyalty of the Apocalypse is not emphasized, it is likely that they will be slowly disbanded. It is said that when Qin Shi Huang toured the east, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu saw it from afar, and their hearts were not how loyal but thought that the big husband should be like this, and he could replace the idea, it can be seen that rebellion also requires innate conditions, that is, to be born with a disloyal heart.

Gao Panlong said: "I think the emperor is too worried, the whole world is not the king's land, the shore of the land is not the king's minister, the emperor obeys the heaven and the earth and the king of the world, who wants to have the idea of rebellion, the minister will not agree first." The statement of choosing the emperor didn't even dare to think about it, and the minister also understood what the emperor meant, and the propaganda was naturally to make all the people loyal to the emperor and the Ming Dynasty, I don't know what the emperor's edict is? ”

Tianqi nodded and said: "I began to listen to the king and said that there are more classes in Lord Xu's recitals, so I admire and smile, in fact, that kind of technique has existed in ancient times, and the beginning of the "Book of Songs" is the Guan Ju chapter, 'Guan Guan Ju Dove is in the river island, and the fair lady and gentleman are good. 'What do you say a man goes to woo a woman and a bird calls?' Do you think that when ancient men saw a woman they liked, they were like birds and chattered non-stop? ”

Everyone is asking what they want, this emperor is talking about the story in the Book of Poetry, does it matter? Could it be that the emperor not only asks the people to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, but also wants everyone to read ancient poems and retro rituals? Then this project is a bit huge, thinking that the saint Confucius was poor all his life and wanted to deny himself without success, who can do something that the saint can't do?

Gao Panlong saw the apocalypse and asked, so he replied: "The ancient people's male and female defense was not as strict as it is now, not only before the Zhou Dynasty, but also the mother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave birth to a daughter among the people before entering the palace, and it was normal for women in the Tang Dynasty to remarry repeatedly, which was unthinkable after the Song Dynasty." ”

Tianqi nodded and said: "Yes, people are subject to change, and the social atmosphere will also change, and in the same way, the people's ideology will also change, which is not subject to people's will." Master Gao began to say that the throne is in accordance with heaven and earth, it sounds good to say, but after thinking about it carefully, I feel unreliable, who has spoken to heaven and earth? I think that it is people who are really reliable, and only when people are aware of the position, the idea of choosing the emperor will be wrong rather than daring. People's consciousness means that all the people of the Ming Dynasty agree with the existing order in their hearts and have no other ideas, and all opinions and suggestions can only be to maintain and improve the existing order, and cannot have the idea of overturning and starting over. ”

Gao Panlong asked: "How does the emperor think that propaganda can make people agree with the existing order from the heart, and all opinions are for the maintenance and improvement of the existing order?" ”

Tianqi said: "This is to emphasize inheritance, everyone's family property must be passed on to their children and grandchildren, I don't hear of anyone who does not give their children and grandchildren to outsiders, this is because everyone hopes that their children and grandchildren can live well." On the other hand, if a child inherits property and land from his father, of course he must inherit his father's ideas and continue his aspirations. In the case of you, your fathers were loyal to the emperor, you should be loyal to me when you inherit your father's will, and your descendants should also be loyal to my descendants, do you think this is the truth? ”

Gao Panlong said: "Loyalty to the emperor is filial piety to the fathers, this truth is understood by ministers but many people may not understand, so is it not the main purpose of the minister's propaganda is to make everyone understand this truth?" ”

Tianqi said: "Of course, that's why loyalty must first talk about filial piety, ordinary people talk to him about loyalty, he doesn't understand very well and feels very far away from him, you tell him about filial piety, he will understand, reasoning is to be simple and easy to understand." ”

Apocalypse's words let everyone understand what he meant, if the country wants to be strong, it needs to be united, unity needs a center, this center is, of course, the emperor, in the current Ming Dynasty, in addition to the apocalypse, a second center is not allowed. Ordinary people don't understand what loyalty is but know what filial piety is, simply put, it is to obey the father's will, the truth of the revelation is that your father does not oppose my father, then you can't oppose me, your son can't oppose my son, otherwise it is not filial piety.

The truth of the apocalypse seems to be reasonable, but it is untenable after careful scrutiny, if this is the case, there will be no rebellion in the world, and there will be no corrupt officials and corrupt officials, let alone a change of dynasty. And a person is constantly changing, and it is not uncommon for the will inherited from his father to deviate, and the good people are not necessarily always good and good all over, and the bad people are not unchangeable and have nothing to affirm. If you want the people to pass on their loyalty to the emperor from generation to generation, you can't do it by just relying on filial piety.

Liu Zongzhou said at this time: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is a certain truth in linking loyalty and filial piety, loyalty is generally filial piety for most people, like Yue Fei of the Song Dynasty is a model of loyalty and filial piety." However, the minister also believes that it is not enough to only emphasize loyalty and filial piety, because continuous preaching cannot achieve results, and must be completed through reason. At first, the emperor said that ordinary people can't understand loyalty and only know filial piety, and the minister thinks that filial piety is gradually cultivated and not understood, because parents give birth to themselves and raise them as sons of men, of course, they have to repay their kindness, and it has nothing to do with understanding or not, and it may not be good for such people to understand loyalty through filial piety. ”

Apocalypse said "oh" and said, "Then what is the best way for Lord Liu to make ordinary people reasonable?" ”

Liu Zongzhou said: "The minister began to hear the emperor say that people's reverence for heaven and earth is unreliable, and only people can really be relied on, and remembered the emperor's three-point theory of the world proposed two years ago, so the minister thinks that while promoting loyalty and filial piety, the three-point theory of the world should be promoted. Two years ago, the emperor said that this world is the world of the world, not the world of one person, to be honest, only the emperor dares to say this kind of thing, and it is disrespectful for others to say it. The minister thinks that he can explain the great truth to those who like to be reasonable, so that he can know that the world belongs to both our parents and us, and also belongs to our children and grandchildren, among which the emperor represents the will of the fathers. ”

Tianqi thought for a while and said: "You can properly talk about the tripartite theory of the world, the will of the past and the needs of the future are arranged by the imperial court, and the people and things involved in the present can be selected." The so-called election means that there is no center, and everyone is the same, so who should be loyal to? Only by dividing the power of the world into three parts, and taking one of them out to conform to everyone's wishes, according to Lord Liu's words, it is convincing, and the other two have nothing to do with the election, they should be used to carry on the past and forge ahead into the future. ”

Liu Zongzhou asked: "Is the emperor's words only for those who ask for elected officials or for everyone?" ”

Tianqi said: "We are talking about these things today mainly for those who make trouble and want elected officials, these people must be people who like to be reasonable, since they are reasonable, of course we must explain them thoroughly." Today, Lord Xu and Master Liu have said your suggestions, and Lord Gao asked me what I meant before making a plan, and now you can take these words as my opinion. There is no problem with electing officials, but there must be a requirement, that is, everything is premised on maintaining and perfecting the existing order, and the reasonable people should be told about the tripartite theory of the world, and those who do not understand the truth should be loyal to them from filial piety. ”

After Tianqi left, Gao Panlong and Liu Zongzhou looked at each other silently for a while, and they finally understood why Tianqi agreed to the elected officials, and Tianqi even mentioned that when the conditions were ripe, they could directly elect the prime minister of the State Council, which surprised everyone at the time and is not surprising now. Under the premise of the Apocalypse, imperial power is a sacred and inviolable right, and any practice that harms imperial power will be regarded as a challenge to the existing order, and the election will be illegal and invalid. In this case, even if someone replaces King Xin in the Government Council through an election, he is just a high-level worker, and he can't turn his hands into clouds and rain.

The two of them didn't speak, each thinking about their own thoughts, King Xin and Xu Guangqi didn't speak but just thought about something, at this time, suddenly a little eunuch came to report, saying that after Tianqi returned to the Qianqing Palace, he felt that King Xin suggested that the people of Donglin Academy should carry out propaganda, but there was no specific name and operating mechanism. Tianqi has an idea to let the people of Donglin Academy run a newspaper, that is, to publish some news, interesting stories and correct views like the imperial court's mansion newspaper, and subtly influence people, so that Gao Panlong can discuss it with others.

Gao Panlong was amazed when he heard it, at first the Apocalypse just let them publicize, he thought that it was just enough to talk to each other about the requirements of the court during the gathering, who knew that the Apocalypse would let them run a newspaper after a while, which means that this propaganda is not a small scale but a large scale.

Gao Panlong asked the eunuch who came to deliver the message: "May I ask my father-in-law, did the emperor say where did he get the money to run a newspaper?" And how often do you post what? ”

The little eunuch said: "The emperor said that the money for running the newspaper was paid by the big iron company, and the money sold was divided in half, which can be published The emperor also said, let Lord Liu Zongzhou be responsible for identification." ”^-^^-^
