This debate, Su Tiancheng did not dare to underestimate at all, the strength of the scholars is infinite, they can cause a huge shock among the people, sometimes, the imperial court also needs to pay attention to such a voice, for example, in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhou Yanru entered the cabinet again and became the first assistant of the cabinet, relying on the efforts of the Donglin Party, Fushe and Zhang Pu.

Of course, when he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, he had enough confidence to change all this, no matter what, Zijin Liang, Lao Huihui, and not mud died in his hands, this is already rewriting history, I believe that with the passage of time, there will be more and more things that change.

As a traverser, after several years of hard work and practice, Su Tiancheng's greatest wish is to let the Chinese nation stand at the pinnacle of the world, and now the foundation is still good, at least the Ming Dynasty represents the advanced within the scope of the world, just like a few hundred years later, a superpower, but this potential is completely consumed in internal and external difficulties.

However, such a change is not achieved overnight, it is not enough to pay lip service, the key is to do things that change the course of history, and in this process, the power of public opinion cannot be ignored.

Zhang Pu, Qian Qianyi, Huang Daozhou and others, all represent a kind of strength, behind them, there are a large number of followers, these people have a very good ability to wave the flag and shout, and with the officials in the court, there are also inextricable connections, once they are slandered, the rest of the life is not easy, at least they have to spend a lot of effort to deal with these troublesome things.

The role of public opinion and propaganda is endless, especially in such an era, when there are not many scholars, the government is completely controlled by scholars, and the cultural quality of the people is generally low. They did not have much discernment, and had a natural admiration and respect for the gentry, believing that what the officials and gentry said was the truth.

Ordinary people, let alone the way to defend their own rights and interests, the peasant rebel army is only the most extreme and violent way to defend their rights. Once this method is in place, the damage caused to the development of society is unbelievable, and they have obtained power through bloody means, and after a little success, they are complacent, indulged in enjoyment, and live an even more luxurious and corrupt life. In the end, at a faster rate, it lost the support of the people.

How to gain the support of public opinion has become a problem that Su Tiancheng must consider.

In the final analysis, this is a question of the united front, uniting all the forces that can be united.

The reason why I didn't want to form an association at the beginning was because I was an official of the imperial court and couldn't come forward to do such a thing, such as Gu Xiancheng and Qian Qianyi of the Donglin Party. Zhang Pu and others who regained the society all resigned from their official positions. to be able to form associations on a large scale.

After debating with Zhang Pu, Su Tiancheng realized more and more that it was necessary to organize a club to unite most of the scholars, and the purpose of this club was very clear. It is to care about and discuss the government and politics, and on the basis of being loyal to the emperor, do what they can.

It is not too difficult to use this association, which can get the direct support of the emperor, to defeat the Donglin Party, the Restoration Society and other associations. After all, the desire of scholars is still to show their abilities, even if they can't directly enter the court as an official, they can put forward some opinions and suggestions and be adopted by the court, in their opinion, it is also a very glorious thing.

Of course, the leader of this society must be highly respected, and he is not suitable, after all, he is an official of the imperial court.

A person's name entered Su Tiancheng's mind, Sun Chengzong, who was idle at home.

Sun Chengzong was the star of the palace examination in the Wanli period, and was once the teacher of Zhu Youzhen of Ming Xizong, and his prestige in the imperial court was very high.

Sun Chengzong's career was extremely bumpy, and he was excluded from power twice, especially in the fourth year of Chongzhen, when he served as the Liaodong Economic Strategy, because of the defeat of the Daling River, which caused mutual conflict within the imperial court, and was forced to resign.

But Sun Chengzong's exploits in fighting against the Houjin are well known to all dynasties.

Such a person must be expected to serve as the leader of the community, and Qian Qianyi, Zhang Pu and others are not qualified to compete with Sun Chengzong at all.

The work in this is also easy to do, as long as the emperor supports it, with his own words, Sun Chengzong will gladly agree, Sun Chengzong has been writing books at home, and it is a very glorious thing to be able to become a teacher for many readers, and it is also very beneficial to do learning.

Just when Su Tiancheng was still planning how to achieve his goal, the debate between him and Zhang Pu had already caused an uproar, and the scholars of Nanzhili began to have a fierce debate around this topic.

This time, the controversy came very suddenly, beyond everyone's imagination, so that this debate prompted Su Tiancheng to make up his mind and speed up the pace of doing things.

It is rumored that the content of this debate is Huang Tingping, Yi Ligao and Zou Pingzhang.

Of course, they think that Zhang Pu's insistence on the point of view is correct, and Su Tiancheng is a bunch of nonsense, so when talking about the content of the debate, they try their best to belittle Su Tiancheng.

But what they didn't expect was that at this time, Huang Daozhou stood up and restored the situation of the debate that day, and when he was teaching at Donglin Academy, he told the content of the debate in its original form. Not only that, Huang Daozhou also asked many students to think carefully and see how this debate should be viewed.

The fourth son of Donglin, because Liu Yunqing resolutely left, defected to Su Tiancheng, and was already in Yingtianfu and even Nanzhili, which caused a certain repercussion, and their reputation was not very good, this time, the remaining three sons of Donglin, in the process of spreading the news, deliberately belittled Su Tiancheng, with the meaning of venting personal anger, which aroused Huang Daozhou's dissatisfaction and stood up to clarify the facts, which made everyone even more unaccustomed to the third son of Donglin.

You must know that the bones of the students are very hard, and the most unaccustomed thing is the practice of slander in the back, the debate between Su Tiancheng and Zhang Pu, how big a thing this should be, the participants are Qian Qianyi and Huang Daozhou, in the face of such an important matter, the three sons of Donglin dare to say it casually, not to mention other things, some people think, no wonder Liu Yunqing, led by the fourth son of Donglin, resolutely left and defected to Su Tiancheng, it can be seen that in the comparison of conduct, the third prince is a loser.

According to the influence of Zhang Pu, Qian Qianyi and others, the students of Nan Zhili should support them without any doubt, as for Su Tiancheng, although he has outstanding literary talent, he has not much contact with students, after all, and his influence among students is relatively small.

Perhaps Huang Daozhou showed a different attitude, but more importantly, Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, the governor of Zhejiang, and the counselor of military affairs, expressed his position in a speech, and his words actually supported Su Tiancheng, which made everyone begin to ponder.

In officialdom, Fan Jingwen's influence is extraordinary, and it is also admired by many students.

As a result, the scholars of Nanzhili were divided into two camps, on the one hand, they supported Zhang Pu and Qian Qianyi, and on the other hand, they supported Su Tiancheng.

All this situation finally attracted Su Tiancheng's attention.

He has already asked Qu Qingze for help, in the middle of the above recital, he proposed the matter of facing the saint, the time arrangement, it must be as soon as possible, this time, he made up his mind, and Zhu Youzhen had a good talk, no matter what, he wanted to move Zhu Youzhen to support him.

The debate between himself and Zhang Pu sparked a controversy between Nanzhili Shizi, which was unexpected, after all, there were so many people who went to Sihai Restaurant that day, Qu Qingze and Wang Dazhi would never say it, as for Zhang Pu, Qian Qianyi and Huang Daozhou, because of their identity, they would not say it casually, and the rest were Huang Tingping, Yi Ligao and Zou Pingzhang.

Thinking of Zou Pingzhang's character, Su Tiancheng sighed secretly, young people have such a character, there is nothing unusual, before the crossing, when he was young, he had some personalities, and he was even more powerful, but after this crossing, he was much more mature and stable, and his responsibilities were not the same.

Su Jun, who was in charge of finding out the news, came to Santang.

"My lord, my subordinates have inquired clearly, the scholars of Shangyuan County and Jiangning County, including many gentry and wealthy households, are indeed discussing and arguing about the debate between you and Zhang Pu, and it is the three sons of Donglin who leaked the debate of the Four Seas Restaurant, they are talking nonsense, and they are not according to the actual situation, which has caused the dissatisfaction of Lord Huang Daozhou, Lord Huang stood up and spoke, and originally said the debate of the day, and now, the three sons of Donglin are spurned by many scholars."

Looking at Su Jun's excited expression, Su Tiancheng spoke with a smile.

"Su Jun, thank you for your hard work, what else is the news?"

"By the way, there is another very important thing, it is said that after learning about this matter, Lord Fan has expressed his opinion, and his opinion is to support you, and Lord Fan's statement has caused a great response among the scholars."

Su Tiancheng's expression became a little serious.

"Oh, so there is such a thing, so do you want to inquire about the current debate?"

"This, the subordinates are not very clear, I heard that they are equal, after all, there are many scholars, either students of Donglin Academy, or members of the Restoration Society."

"Okay, I know the truth, during this time, you focus on inquiring and seeing which side has the upper hand in this discussion, don't have any scruples, just tell the truth."

After watching Su Jun leave, Su Tiancheng's expression became more serious, such debates and discussions, can not be underestimated, this is a major opportunity to change the development of history, the understanding of many scholars is slowly beginning to change, to say that among scholars, there are not many really wealthy households, most of them still yearn for fairness and justice.
