Chapter Seventy-Eight: Donglin Party's Public Opinion Offensive (Seeking Votes, Seeking Collection)

Facing the lofty ideals of Grandpa Wei.

The backbone of the eunuch party is somewhat waxy.

How dare Gu Bingqian and Wei Guangwei let Gonggong Wei regain Zhang Juzheng's reforms. They joined the eunuch party in order to defeat the Donglin party, but they didn't want to reintroduce any reforms.

They are not from low-level gangsters like Wei Zhongxian. Officials of their class do not have the support of a big family behind them. Whose family is not a local tycoon?

Zhang Juzheng's reform, that is, to cut meat from their family, how can they support it.

Cui Chengxiu is not from a strong background, but he is a direct beneficiary of the fame of the imperial examination. His family is on the road to becoming a powerful man. If Zhang Juzheng's reforms were to be repeated, his family would be a small landlord at best. Of course, he didn't want Wei Gonggong to return to reform.

However, the backbone of the eunuch party did not dare to oppose the ideals of Wei Gonggong, so they could only use the procrastination trick, hoping that time could dispel Wei Gonggong's delusions.

The rumors of the reversal of the Yinche bloody case and the Qingzhou case finally spread back to the capital.

Dongchang learned for the first time that this was extremely unfavorable to Wei Zhongxian. It can be seen that Dongchang's control over the outside of the capital is far less effective than that in the capital.

Hearing this rumor that black and white were reversed, Wei Zhongxian was furious.

What could be more outrageous?

Those usurers and tyrants of the Zhao family have fallen into justice?

The miscellaneous family has become a villain?

The resentful Wei Gonggong instinctively targeted the Donglin Party.

"This is definitely the Donglin Party deliberately ruining the reputation of the miscellaneous family and destroying the good situation of the Ming Dynasty. The miscellaneous family must give them something to see. Wei Zhongxian was angry.

Beijing, Wei Zhongxian's private residence

At the meeting of the backbone of the eunuch party, Wei Zhongxian was disappointed again.

"Duke, such rumors are not worth being angry about, we just need to calm down and wait for the rumors to disappear." Gu Bingqian and Wei Guangwei are both unanimous in their opinions. The two men in charge of the cabinet clearly do not want to cause more trouble.

Wei Zhongxian remained silent and aimed his eyes at Cui Chengxiu, who served as the imperial history of the left capital.

"Governor, the child also feels that there is no need to make a big move. Donglin Party, the governor is still not clear? One by one, they sell their reputations and seek to find a master who has nothing to do. For the sake of the so-called wind bones, they are not even afraid of the court staff. There's no need for me to dwell on them here. ”

Choi Chengxiu also did not approve of continuing to crack down on the Donglin Party. He looked at Wei Zhongxian's face and continued: "The Governor still has important things to prepare, so he doesn't need to be as knowledgeable as such a clown. ”

"Rumors stop at the wise! Governor. Choi Chengxiu ended with this sentence. His opinion is very clear: Whether or not the Donglin Party manipulates public opinion, we just need to concentrate on government affairs.

Rumors are rumors after all, and they will naturally dissipate after a while.

For the sake of Cui Chengxiu's big thing, Wei Zhongxian reluctantly agreed to their choice and temporarily let go of his desire to fight the Donglin Party.

Wei Zhongxian, who was full of spirit, although he was a little dismissive of the caution of several people, but for the sake of big things, he swallowed his anger first.

"That's it. The miscellaneous family let them go first. ”

It's not that they can't crack down on the Donglin Party, it's that they can let them go, and the current Wei Gonggong has this confidence.

In Wei Zhongxian's eyes, the Donglin Party that left the capital was already a lost dog, and it could only engage in these small conspiracies such as rumors.

The rumors are as annoying as mosquito humming, but they are nothing serious.

Grandpa Wei forgot that mosquitoes don't just hum, they bite and suck blood.

Wei Zhongxian clearly underestimated the influence of the Donglin Party among the people.

The Donglin Party originated from the people.

In the thirty-second year of Wanli, Gu Xiancheng, who was cut down from office, repaired the Donglin Academy founded by Yang Shi in the Song Dynasty and began to lecture in the Donglin Academy.

In the context of the broad speech of the Ming Dynasty, Donglin Academy attracted a large number of scholars to gather. From a simple academic gathering, it was slowly transformed into the later Donglin Party.

The Donglin Party was already famous for its bookish spirit, acupuncture of the times, and criticism of the government.

Leaving the court and returning to the people, the Donglin Party people are even more like fish in water.

You must know that what the Donglin Party people are best at has never been the government, but the manipulation of public opinion. They had the widest range of supporters among the literati of the Ming Dynasty.

"The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of family, country, and the world are concerned."

This is Gu Xiancheng's handwriting, hanging in Donglin Academy. This couplet is also an excellent portrayal of the Donglin Party.

In terms of public opinion, the eunuch party is not at all the opponent of the Donglin party.

In the face of the rumors of a complete flip, the eunuchs didn't even know what to do, so they could only wait and see what happened.

Contrary to Choi Chengxiu's expectations.

The rumors did not gradually dissipate, but became more and more intense.

Driven by rumors, various localities have repeatedly launched actions against tax supervision.

In the chaos, the Donglin Party officially spoke.

The opposition Donglin Party members issued statements one after another, severely condemning the bad behavior of the eunuch party in persecuting the ordinary people. The six people known as the six gentlemen of the Donglin Party, "Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Zhou Chaorui, Yuan Huazhong, Wei Dazhong, and Gu Shunzhang", were the most intense.

For a time, public opinion in the world overwhelmingly accused the eunuchs.

"Despicable, shameless. Do their consciences let the dogs eat? Wei Zhongxian shouted angrily.

The small people don't know the inside story, and they just blindly believe in rumors and spread rumors.

Don't you so-called six gentlemen know the inside story?

Can't you see the report from the Imperial Palace?

This is how the so-called gentleman reverses black and white?

Although none of the six gentlemen commented directly on these two cases; Although the persecution of the small people by the tax supervisors they commented on is also true. But at this point in time, what does it mean to make such a comment?

Isn't this a clear indication that they are inciting opposition to Wei Zhongxian's policies everywhere?

Isn't this kind of fierce criticism to promote the people's tide and then affect the government and politics exactly what the Donglin Party people are best at.

Wei Zhongxian was furious.

Such a powerful remark has already alarmed the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

"Am I really wrong?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse was somewhat at a loss, and his political wisdom could not yet make a clear judgment on the situation.

"Xiao Wu, how is your glass master doing at home?" Zhu Youxiao asked as if unintentionally while fiddling with the model of the Song ship.

"That's good!" Zhu Youzhen replied with great interest.

"Big brother, I didn't keep him in the mansion, he went back to Yanshen Town."

"Big brother, you don't know, that kid's name is Yue Dashi. It is a big stone of a big stone. At first glance, you thought it was a master? ”

"That kid is only 18 years old, and he is a honest and honest person. The craftsmanship was good, and he made me a vase. I'll bring it to my eldest brother another day. ”

"He thought it was not good to build a kiln in the capital, so he insisted on going back to his hometown, so I let him go back."

"The imperial court has eradicated the tyrant Zhao family, no one bullies them anymore, and their villagers' lives are much better now."

Zhu Youzhen said a lot.

"If you want me to say, those tyrants are dead. He still dares to collect taxes from his family under the banner of the imperial court, and he really thinks he is the emperor of the soil? Zhu Youzhen added indignantly.

"Big brother, why are you doing this model so finely?" Zhu Youzhen stared at the ship model in Zhu Youxiao's hand and asked.

"This is not a normal model, this is a hot sample." Zhu Youxiao replied verbally, but he was thinking in his heart that it was time to ask Jinyi Wei to check the current situation of Yan Shenzhen.
