Chapter 602: Public Opinion Slander
p
In May, the imperial court suddenly issued an order to take Situ Wang Mi as the imperial history to go north to inspect the counties of the Central Plains.
When the news came out, the Central Plains family immediately cheered.
The children of the family were gearing up, hoping to use the hand of the Taiwei to force King Yong to give in, but unfortunately they had the wrong idea.
Huan Xuan sent the good old man Wang Mi to the north, which showed that he did not want to offend King Yong, and then affected the great cause of the Northern Expedition.
It's just that the family's complaint is too big, and Huan Xuan has to make some gestures to appease the Central Plains family.
After all, unlike King Yong, he is based on the family and does not dare to offend the family too much.
However, the Central Plains family did not know the inside story, and thought that they would be supported by the 'imperial history of the imperial court', and their morale was greatly boosted.
As everyone knows, Wang Mi is very shrewd and easily understands Huan Xuan's thoughts.
He is a smooth person, and he has already made up his mind in his heart that he will never get involved in the disputes between the family and King Yong, and strive not to offend anyone.
Therefore, when he went all the way north, whenever he encountered the children of the family blocking the road and crying, he only said good words and comforted him, but did not give any promises.
Wang Mi's move aroused the dissatisfaction of the Central Plains family, and they abandoned each other and took the opportunity to launch a public opinion attack on Hexi.
These famous people of the family relied on their literary style and style, and quoted scriptures and classics on various occasions to slander various Hexi policies.
What slave release order is the law that harms the people and suffers the people, what makes up the households and the people, and changes the ancestral system without permission will cause riots, and also directly denounces the Juntian system as the first tyranny in the ages.
If you don't know the actual situation, just listen to the so-called 'accusations' of famous people, it is estimated that everyone will think that the Juntian system is really tyranny.
It seems that if it is carried out, it will lead to some great disaster.
However, in fact, it was precisely thanks to the implementation of the Juntian system that Hexi swept away one Hulu force after another.
For the sake of their own selfishness, the famous people of the family completely ignored these fait accomplis, but blew the old system of Wei and Jin into the sky.
For example, what family tax exemption is a matter of course, what land occupation law is the good governance of the people, and what nine products are the foundation of the country.
The reason why they are talking nonsense is nothing more than to continue to maintain the politics of the gate and maintain the privileges of the family
In addition, some people secretly instigated public opinion, and soon there was a huge wave of opposition that suddenly swept all over the Central Plains.
……
Luoyang, in the Taiji Palace, Cui Hao, Gao Hu and others are reporting to Wei Shuo on the implementation of the Juntian system.
Recently, the upper and lower levels of Hexi have been busy eradicating the homeless people and at the same time deeply implementing the uniform land system.
Under the surging general trend, except for a few homeless marshals who resisted stubbornly, most of them had to dismantle the dock fort and disband the tribe.
"Your Highness, now the dock forts in various places are being demolished one after another, and most of the homeless marshals have also been disarmed and returned to the fields."
"The surrounding areas of Luoyang, including Sinan, Yanxi, northern Henan and other counties, have begun to implement the uniform field system in an orderly manner."
"Good! You Aiqing have worked hard, and when the general trend of the Central Plains is determined in the future, Lone will be rewarded again. ”
"Your Highness."
The Central Plains of all dynasties and dynasties are large grain producers, and their agricultural production has huge potential for development, even greater than that of Guanzhong.
The reason why the Central Plains has great potential is that it has a lot to do with the fertile and flat local land.
As long as the system of equalizing land is successfully implemented and agricultural production in the Central Plains is restored, the strength of Hexi will be greatly enhanced.
Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the Juntian system, in addition to sending important ministers such as Cui Hao and Gao Hu to sit in the locality.
Wei Shuo also dispatched the seven-compartment iron cavalry to inspect the place to deter Xiaoxiao and respond to emergencies at any time.
In the past few days, under the continuous propaganda of Hexi, the common people of the Central Plains have already gained a comprehensive understanding of various policies.
Not only did they know what the Juntian system was, but they also knew that Hexi had already abolished all kinds of miscellaneous taxes.
In addition to the family is still unwilling to lose their privileges, the vast majority of the common people are looking forward to dividing the land to their households every day.
After listening to everyone's reports, Wei Shuo nodded with satisfaction, he just wanted the guards to serve tea, but saw Kang Long rushing in.
"Your Highness, Ruyin County, southern Henan is urgent!" Saying that, Kang Long handed out the emergency report with both hands.
"Bring it in."
Wei Shuo took it, feeling heavy, he carefully tore open the seal and pulled out the emergency report.
The urgent report not only recorded in detail the process of Wang Mi's meeting with the Central Plains family, but also the details of the public opinion attack launched by the Central Plains family.
After reading the remarks of the Central Plains family, Wei Shuo's face turned black with anger, and he threw the urgent report on the ground.
Everyone had never seen King Yong make such a big fire, and they were all silent, standing in place and not daring to move.
Only Cui Hao, relying on his seniority, silently picked up the emergency report, opened it and read it word by word.
"I really don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin!"
"These famous people from various families took advantage of Wang Mi's order to inspect the Central Plains, and they jumped up and down one by one."
"They have wantonly slandered and slandered various policies in Hexi, which is really hateful!"
"Kanglong! You immediately set up the guards and horses, and immediately arrest those famous people of the family who spread rumors everywhere. ”
"Your Highness, slow down."
"What? Does Bo Yuan want to intercede for those famous people? ”
It can be seen that Wei Shuo is really angry at the moment, and some is blurted out directly without brain.
But Cui Hao understood King Yong's impatience very much, but he didn't take it to heart.
He just said calmly: "If His Highness sends troops to arrest those famous people of the family, it will undoubtedly fall into their calculations. ”
Well?! Wei Shuo's heart moved, and his anger disappeared without a trace.
He waved his hand to send Kang Long away, staring at Cui Hao with burning eyes and asking, "May Wen Boyuan see you!" ”
Seeing that King Yong finally regained his composure, Cui Hao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Don't look at him on the surface to look calm and composed, in fact, he is also very nervous inside.
King Yong was obviously furious just now, and when the king was angry, he often bled and drifted away!
This is no joke, there have been too many people in history who have died in the wrath of kings, and many of them are loyal and righteous.
It's just that he has followed King Yong for a long time, and he knows that King Yong has a benevolent temperament and will not rashly slaughter his subordinates.
What's more, this matter is very important, and Cui Hao had to stand up to stop Yongwang Hulai.
"His Royal Highness is carrying 100,000 strong troops in his hands, and the tiger is stepping into the Central Plains, and there is no competition in the world!"
"However, Lao Tzu has a cloud: 'Those who are too rigid are easy to break, and those who are gentle are undefeated!' ”
"If His Highness only knows how to use force blindly and relies on force to run rampant, sooner or later he will suffer a big loss."
"Just like the current situation, at the moment, those famous people of the family just said some ugly things and made some bad remarks."
"Compared to the families who rebelled before them, their crimes were much lighter."
"If His Royal Highness indiscriminately detains everyone, it will inevitably cause public opinion in the world to be turbulent."
"The Central Plains family will also take the opportunity to describe His Royal Highness as a tyrant through the ages, thus arousing the sympathy of public opinion in the world."
"Moreover, this dispute between the Central Plains family and Hexi involves all aspects."
"It's not as simple as driving out the Hulu, because driving out the Hulu is where the righteousness lies, and you only need to crush it with strength."
"But the pacification of the Central Plains is different, these are two different political ideas in conflict, and neither is more moral than the other."
"In other words, this is simply a public argument that is justified and mother-in-law is reasonable!"
"It's just that Hexi is strong, so it has been suppressing the Central Plains family."
"Now the Central Plains family has launched a public opinion counterattack, no matter how they 'talk nonsense', at least they haven't used knives and guns."
"If His Royal Highness is furious and orders the detention of various famous families, not to mention the impact, you have first violated the laws of Hexi!"
As soon as Cui Hao said this, Gao Hu's eyes suddenly widened, and he stared at Cui Hao without blinking, not knowing why.
Only Wei Shuo was startled, and secretly broke out in a cold sweat.
He thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized that what Cui Hao said was not unreasonable.
Over the past ten years, Wei Shuo has always insisted on 'freedom of speech' and 'not being punished for words', which has made the political atmosphere in Hexi relatively relaxed.
This is why newspapers everywhere dare to expose the injustices in the world, and everyone dares to point out the gains and losses of the government's governance.
Although southern Henan and Yandong were actually semi-independent, they were nominally under the jurisdiction of Hexi, and those famous people naturally became 'subjects' under Wei Shuo's rule.
If he indiscriminately takes them all out today, tomorrow there will be unfavorable rumors spread all over the world.
Breaking a rule is easy, just once! But to protect a rule, it takes a hundred times more hard to stick to it.
To put it more seriously, Wei Shuo almost ruined his ten years of hard work.
"The family's intentions are very sinister, Your Highness must not take it lightly."
"Well, that makes sense!" Wei Shuo bowed slightly.
"Then in Bo Yuan's opinion, how should Lone deal with it?"
"Hey, easy! The king can give back to him in his own way. ”
"Public opinion to public opinion?"
"Yes!"
Public opinion, what is public opinion? Cihai explains it as "a multitude of remarks".
Rousseau once said in his famous "Theory of the Social Contract": "Of all the nations of the world, it is not nature but public opinion that determines the choice between love and hatred."
It can be seen that the people are greatly affected by public opinion, especially in modern society, public opinion guidance is the top priority.
Wei Shuo comes from modern times, so he naturally knows better how important the struggle of public opinion is.
What is the struggle of public opinion? It is to strive for the initiative, the right to speak and the right to influence.
Moreover, the struggle of public opinion is not unique to modern times, but has existed since ancient times, but it is more complicated in modern times.
To put it mildly, the struggle of public opinion is a war without gunpowder!
