Chapter Ninety-Three: The Public Opinion War between Liu Xiu and Gongsun Shu

"Indeed! According to Zhi Yun, Fan Chong's side should be the coalition of the Eighteenth Route against the king. Xun Yu responded, "Most of them are ambitious people, for them, what is not stable for the time being, the Han army or the Yellow Turban army is too strong, they are not enough to deal with, these are all nonsense, they will definitely not compromise if they don't go to a war!" ”

Gongsun Shu called the emperor and built a palace in Nanzheng. and built a ten-story red building and a blue boat. Engrave the seal of the world's shepherds, prepare hundreds of officials, and rely on Sichuan's dangerous terrain, abundant products, and prosperous household registration, which is quite high-spirited.

Gongsun Shu is strict and detailed, superstitious and obsessive, easy to observe small things and ignore the general situation, after ascending the throne, rashly abolished copper coins, and set up officials to cast iron coins, causing the people to ask about the currency; Before the hegemony was achieved, his two sons were appointed as kings, and the sons were divided into counties and counties, and the political affairs of a country were only left to the Gongsun family, and the ministers were refused, so the ministers were resentful. Proper nouveau riche image.

And this guy is the same as Chen Sheng, he forgot about his old friend after the outbreak.

At the beginning, Gongsun Shu was the emperor in Shu and occupied the hustle and bustle of Longyou, and the various regimes were vacillating, so he sent Ma Yuan to investigate.

Ma Yuan first went to Gongsun Shu, he and Gongsun Shu are fellow villagers, and the two have a deep friendship, which can be regarded as Ma Yuan's selfishness.

Ma Yuan thought that the old people would shake hands and talk happily when they met, but he didn't expect Gongsun Shu to put up the emperor's shelf. The guards were displayed first, and then the horse reinforcements were invited to meet them. As soon as he saw the ceremony, he immediately asked Ma Yuan to leave the palace and live in the post house, and then ordered someone to make cloth and a single coat for Ma Yuan, hand over the crown, and then gather hundreds of officials to set up a banquet to entertain him, etc., and a series of behaviors that can be described as villains.

So Ma Yuan resolutely returned to Longyou, and said to Kui: "Gongsun Shu is a frog at the bottom of the well, arrogant, you might as well concentrate on running the East." In this way, Gongsun Shu lost an ally and was finally wiped out by Liu Xiu.

Of course, this is in terms of being human. It can also be said to be a private matter. It's just that he didn't handle it well enough, and he didn't expect that personal problems would lead to problems in the overall situation.

On the other hand, Gongsun Shu can dominate one side, and there are also commendable points.

First of all, the first point, whether it is to say that Gongsun Shu is not doing his job, but he wants to listen to the words of ghosts and gods, Gongsun Shu has given Liu Xiu a headache for a long time through this method, which is much better than other anti-kings.

At that time, the common people were very superstitious about the Mandate of Heaven theory, and Gongsun Shu and Liu Xiu launched a 'public opinion war' on this orthodox issue.

Wang Mang said that the key to his appointment was that the book of Fu Ming Tongkui said that "the Red Emperor Xingxi was passed on to the Yellow Emperor Jin Ceshu", which clearly stated that the Han Dynasty was a fire virtue and the color was still red. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, scholars had already argued that after the Han Dynasty was Yao, Wang Mang claimed to be a descendant of Shun's seedlings, in response to the story of Yao Shun Chan. This is one of the important reasons for Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Xiu's troops couldn't catch him, and the four Yi gathered in Longdouye, and the fire was the main thing on the occasion of April and Seven. The ministers said because of the recital: "The talisman of the ordination, the person should be great, thousands of miles of faith, not sympathy." Zhou's white fish, what is the foot? There is no Son of Heaven today, the sea is chaotic, Fu Rui's response, it is obvious that it is heard, it is appropriate to answer the gods, and to stop the crowd. ”

Gongsun Shu also likes to use the ghost god Ruiying, the use of prophecy, thinking that Confucius made "Spring and Autumn", for the red system and cut off the twelve dukes, the Ming and Han dynasties to the Ping Emperor 12 generations, the number is exhausted, and a surname can no longer be ordered. He also quoted the "Recording and Transportation Law" and said: "Abolish Emperor Chang and establish a grandson." "The Elephant of the Ground" said: "Emperor Xuanyuan was ordered, and Gongsun held it." "Said" eight sub-series, twelve periods. "The Deed of Aiding God" said: "West Taishou, Yi Mao Jin." That is, the place of the five virtues of the Yin and Yang family, when gold is replaced, this is the origin of the White Emperor.

Liu Xiu wrote a letter to Gongsun and said: "The picture is said to be 'Gongsun', that is, Emperor Xuan. Those who represent the Han should be high, how can the king be evil? Naifu takes the palm text as Rui, how can Wang Mang be effective? The king is not my thief and the minister, and when he is in a hurry, everyone wants to be the king's ear, so how can he count it. Jun Sun and Moon have passed away, and his wife is weak, so he can worry about it as soon as possible. The world's artifacts cannot be fought for, so it is advisable to think twice. The letter was signed "Emperor Gongsun".

Liu Xiu and Gongsun Shu debated the orthodoxy of power, and they both used Wei Wei as an ideological resource, which was indeed a spectacle at that time.

However, it is this public opinion war that has an extraordinary effect, and even many people buy it.

When Kui was arrogant and became the king, Ban Biao left him, and also wrote a "Theory of the King's Destiny": Gai in Gaozu Qixing also has five: one is the Miao descendant of Emperor Yao, the second is how strange the body is, the third is that the gods and martial arts have a response, the fourth is lenient and forgiving, and the fifth is that they know people and are good at making them.

This is the effect of Liu Xiu's public opinion propaganda, and he surrendered without a fight in minutes.

It can be said that during the alternation of the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty in history, Wang Lang, Gongsun Shu, Li Xian, Qin Feng, Zhang Bu, Dong Xian, Yan Cen, Tian Rong, Kui Huan, Dou Rong, Peng Chong, etc., all of them carried the banner of "anti-reckless and recovering the Han Dynasty", and even after the rise of Liu Xiu, only a few were attached. But only Gongsun Shu insisted on it for the longest time, and it can't simply be said that Shu is far away.

In addition, Emperor Guangwu wrote a letter to Gongsun Shu, stating the blessings and misfortunes to show that the king had no jokes. Gongsun Shu sighed when he saw the letter, and showed his cronies too often, Guangluxun Zhang Long. Long and Shaodu persuaded Gongsun Shu to surrender. Gongsun said: "Prosperity and waste are fate. Where is the Son of Heaven who surrenders!" The people on the left and right did not dare to speak anymore.

When the Book of the Later Han Dynasty finally commented on Gongsun Shu, the foothold was not fixed on anything such as arrogance and lasciviousness, not emphasizing righteousness, etc., but on the matters that resolutely refused to surrender.

In the past, the Marquis of Wei was pleased with the solidity of the rivers and mountains, and Wu Qi told him that the consolidation of the country in Germany is not in danger. When Gongsun Shu Xie was a subordinate and insisted that it was fate to rise and fall and refused to surrender, such an act was not the same as Sun Haoni's first face to bind Wang Jun and Xu Nan's face to see Chu Zi.

As Gongsun Shu said, how much did the Son of Heaven surrender in ancient times?

Xu Xi Gong tied up the title of Doctor Bi to reduce the cowardice of the scholars to surrender to Chu, and King Chu Cheng pardoned Xu Guo.

Zheng Xianggong took the sheep to surrender to Chu, and the king of Chu Zhuang pardoned Zheng Guo.

Lai Jun was bound to favor the public in order to surrender to Chu, and King Chu Ling pardoned Lai Guo.

The prince of Qin was infantile and necked to form a white horse and a chariot to surrender to Chu, and the Marquis of Chu Wu and Anhou were surrendered, and the general of Chu was denied Qin worship.

The first emperor Liu Xuanrou favored the seal ribbon of Changle Palace, and lowered the red eyebrow army Liu Penzi.

Pan Chongnai will be the basin and the prime minister Xu Xuan below more than 30 people of the flesh of the surrender, the upper obtained national seal ribbon at the beginning of the seven-foot sword and jade wall each one, in order to descend the light of Emperor Wu Liu Xiu.

An individual's personality determines the achievement, as well as the final choice.

Characters like Gongsun Shu, such as the overlord of Chu, Emperor Yang of Sui, etc., no matter how many times they come, they may become more mature in the process of fighting for hegemony, know how to step by step, know how to accept advice, and may even know how to win the hearts of the people and win the hearts of the ministers, but they will never lose their enterprising heart, no matter what their identity, standing in the current troubled times, they are actually brave and fierce, and there is no possibility of compromise.

In addition, there are many anti-kings who resolutely confront Liu Xiu. Although Liu Xiu beat them in public opinion, they did not belong to them, like Fan Chong, there were actually very few people who supported Liu as their own ministers, most of them were self-established emperors, and in the end Liu Xiu needed to go to the conquest one by one.

These guys, to say that they are honest now, and to see which force this situation is willing to choose to belong to for the sake of the peace and contentment of the people, it is simply a joke. (To be continued.) )
