Chapter 408: Public Opinion Pressure

Shi Bufan made an appointment with his own people who selected some media, and these media were opened by Shi Bufan to Qin Jiarui two years ago. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 INFO is a media that mainly prints newspapers and periodicals for various periodicals. There are all kinds of news in this media on weekdays, including all kinds of essays, even some novels serialized, and some advertisements and the like, all kinds of news are also written into it, and a large part of this non-governmental media in Chang'an has actually been directly or indirectly controlled by various industries under Qin Jiarui.

These media have some responsibilities on weekdays, and they are responsible for disseminating the extraordinary so-called "mind" academic propaganda, and they also give some manuscript fees to the authors, including all kinds of novels. Of course, this manuscript fee is still relatively low, and it cannot be too high. However, it gave those poor students who studied four courses a path, and they seemed to have some benefits.

Even the editors of these media are selected from the four courses of study. Because Datang's current imperial examination is seriously cheating, and the admission rate is very low, most of the students in the four disciplines cannot be admitted to the imperial examination. In this way, they are all fetched for themselves, and this various media needs to be edited, and that is also a good path.

Of course, Shi Bufan is their boss, and they naturally have to be obedient.

"Everyone, starting tomorrow, you will also start to speed up the extra-shipment according to my request. In this way, the outside of this number mainly promotes some about the ancient emperor's choice of concubines, and then does not hesitate to forcibly send the engaged women into the palace, and those women are unwilling, but in the face of the obscenity of the faint king, they have to bend their hearts to meet them, and then miss the lover of their hometown in their hearts, and finally ...... step by step"

Shi Bufan quickly gave the editors a script and an outline for them to play on their own. In short, this situation is also to be promoted. This outline is actually very simple, that is, to tell the people that a certain "faint king" used his power to forcibly separate a pair of men and women, and forcibly put the woman in the harem. And the woman was forced by the tyrant's obscenity to flatter the faint king, but she missed her lover in her heart.

Shi Bufan also took out those classic scripts in later generations, such as the tragic ending of the two sides turning into butterflies, and various tragic scripts, in short, they are tragic.

In short, it is necessary to give this "faint king" to the black, to erect the so-called truth, goodness and beauty of feelings, to crusade against the false, evil and ugly of the "faint monarch", so that everyone can see the true face of this faint monarch, and arouse everyone's indignation at the emperor's use of power to rob the engaged woman.

"Also, these things should not only be publicized in the press. It will also be written into a book for the people to see. Shi Bufan said.

This so-called "script", that is, the book of ancient storytellers, is very similar to a novel. This kind of storyteller first originated in the Sui Dynasty and developed a lot in the Tang Dynasty. This kind of person is generally the one who attracts pilgrims in the temple, and later gradually goes to the upper and lower levels, relying on "talking" in various places and using various "scripts" to tell stories to various people.

And this kind of person, Shi Bufan also has a lot of subordinates. Because in the Tang Qian Zhuang Federation, many Taoist temples have also joined this so-called Qian Zhuang Federation, and there are many such people in this temple and Taoist temple, and now let them speak according to their own methods, which can completely resonate with ordinary people. As for this script, it is also dedicated to blacking the faint king, anyway, Shi Bufan did not name him, so you Li Shimin should not sit down by yourself.

After provoking a storm of public opinion, then this is the real stability, and then Li Shimin will definitely be under the pressure of this storm of public opinion, and he will not be able to bear the pressure of being forced to give up Zheng Liwan.

"Okay, let's go get ready!" Those media people hurriedly prepared, wrote out the outline of the script given by Shi Bufan, and arranged for some literati to create it as soon as possible.

Shi Bufan directly asked these literati to create these scripts, and Shi Bufan believes that such scripts can resonate with others very much. Because such a script is very down-to-earth, it can make the people feel very important things. In this ancient period, all kinds of laws and all kinds of institutions were completely in the service of power, and the interests of ordinary Baixin were often violated. Including his own marriage, even if he sometimes has feelings with the object he likes, but he has to separate due to various factors.

Although many people think that people in the Tang Dynasty can choose their own marriage, this is not the case, and the orders of parents in the Tang Dynasty have absolute power. The so-called ability to decide on marriage by oneself is based on the fact that they have reached adulthood, that is, men are over 20 years old, and women are over 15 years old.

However, for example, many people will be engaged before they reach adulthood, especially those with a little status, will be engaged before their children are fifteen years old, so in fact this rule is also shelved. As a legal scholar, Shi Bufan is very aware of this kind of practice of exploiting loopholes, with policies and countermeasures.

It is one thing to make laws, but it is another thing to be effectively enforced. Therefore, when studying history, we must not just look at those legal provisions and take them for granted, in fact, it depends more on whether those laws can be effectively enforced.

"This time, the emperor, you are going to be unlucky, although the people have nothing to do on weekdays, they are still very disgusted by this kind of thing. The rights and interests of the common people were very violated in ancient times, and in many cases, they could not even make their own decisions about their own marriage. Even the men and women who had sworn an alliance had to be broken up in the end because of the persecution of some powerful figures. And the people are very disgusted with this kind of thing, although you can oppress them through power, but it does not stop them from spreading. ”

Shi Bufan understands very well why there is a legend of the White Snake, what Liang Zhu is, or the story of the Seven Fairies and Dong Yong that has been revised by later generations. Originally, the story of Dong Yong during the Tang Dynasty was a drama, but it didn't leave too much impression on people's hearts. After being deliberately artistically processed by some people, it turned into a tragedy, which became popular.

Comedy is not easy to resonate, because comedy is difficult to resonate with the people at the bottom. Happy families are all alike, and unhappy families have their own misfortunes. Especially in the aspect of family marriage, it is the most interesting, because marriage represents a very noble feeling of human beings, which is also one of the biggest differences between humans and animals. Animals only know how to intercourse. matching, and humans have feelings. As for the people of ancient times, they had to give up a lot of things because of the pressure of survival.

Although Shi Bufan has heard a saying that when material civilization is satisfied, he will seek spiritual civilization. However, in fact, Shi Bufan's words are not right or wrong, because material civilization has not been reached, and the pursuit of spiritual civilization naturally does not have this condition. The absence of this condition does not mean that people do not have this idea. Although the common people are also relatively poor in many cases, it does not mean that they do not have the need for spiritual civilization at all.

And this kind of calligraphy and painting book is something that can meet the needs of the spiritual civilization of the low-level people in ancient times, because the cost is low and it is easy to spread, with the cultural level of the ancient people, they will definitely not be able to understand poetry or anything, let alone understand elegant art. Shi Bufan used this kind of rhetoric to publicize, which helped him to make a sensation among the people. Even this approach to the tragedy of Aiqing can resonate with many people. Tragedies tend to be more recirculated and remembered more easily than comedies. Especially the love tragedy, this situation also occurs in many legends in China, so Shi Bufan also has to make up a joke to write a joke to give this "faint king" to the black.

Although it was said in ancient times that brothers are like siblings and wives are like clothes, this is complete bullshit. There are more people who break their hands and feet for clothes than those who undress for their hands and feet.

When those media people left, Qin Jiarui asked Shi Bufan very worriedly: "Husband, is this really no problem?" Are you deliberately inciting the people to dissatisfaction with the emperor by doing this? Is this even forcing the emperor to attack you? ”

"Jia Rui, don't worry, I didn't name which emperor it is. I'm at least telling the story, but if some people in the court don't keep their mouths dirty and leak this matter, it has nothing to do with me! Once I have warmed it up first, when the news arrives, it will be like a drop of water falling into a pan of oil, not only will it not cool down, but it will boil very violently. ”

However, Qin Jiarui still said: "If you do this, aren't you afraid that the emperor will hate you to death?" What's more, the power in the hands of the emperor, if he really wants to directly order the abolition of the so-called marriage contract, then it will definitely be possible in the end. According to what you said, the emperor has the legislative power, and if he really has the cheekiness to order the abolition, you can't do anything. ”

"Hahahaha, Jia Rui, I'm very relieved about this. This emperor is a rare emperor who loves face through the ages, and he loves face to a certain level, so others may not be afraid of me, but this emperor is a guy who wants to save face, and I am least afraid of what he will do to me in this regard. Shi Bufan said confidently.

If he believes in Li Shimin the most, it is that Li Shimin wants to save face the most. Shi Bufan is sure that this Li Shimin is at least any emperor before he became the emperor, and there is no emperor who likes face more than him. Li Shimin's love of face, he doesn't dare to say that there is no one who will come later, but before Li Shimin, it was absolutely unprecedented.

The reason why Shi Bufan is so confident is because Li Shimin was the first emperor to revise history, beautify history, revise history in which aspect of himself, and beautify his own behavior. For example, in the Xuanwumen Change, Li Shimin beautified his behavior very much. Because according to ancient ethics and morality, his behavior is actually very bad, unfilial piety, this is his eternal heart disease in this life, and even more than a thousand years later, some people will use this to criticize him.

But Li Shimin chose to beautify himself, and did not hesitate to beautify himself by revising history. Scolding Li Shimin for being shameless and revising history is a shameless act. However, this historian and psychologist know better that anyone who wants to revise history and gain fame for future generations is not only not shameless, but is extremely fond of face. Li Shimin, the emperor who loves face, is unprecedented, because he was the first to revise history. The previous emperors did not revise history, and even if they were reluctantly revised and persuaded by the historians, they did not continue to revise it.

However, Li Shimin's perseverance in revising history made him succeed in the end, so China's falsification of history began with Li Shimin, and this shows that Li Shimin did not dare to say that there was no one to come, but in the identity of the emperor, the love of face is absolutely unprecedented.

Others may be worried about Shi Bufan, but Li Shimin loves the people so much, which is also one aspect of Shi Bufan's use. Li Shimin, the emperor, wants to save face, if he doesn't want face, it will be strange. Isn't it just a woman anyway? Although it is a bit embarrassing to lose a woman, it is not impossible to give up if it can be exchanged for greater face and a historical reputation. For an emperor who takes the initiative to give up a woman, perhaps he gains more "face" than he reluctantly includes a woman in the harem.

The face in the eyes of different people is different, and the methods of maintaining face are also different. There is nothing constant in this layer, sometimes giving up small face and reaping big face is a kind of trade-off, a kind of great wisdom! As for what is a small face and what is a "big face", this different person has different views and different needs.

For Shi Bufan, the situation has developed to this day, and the woman Zheng Liwan is also Shi Bufan's "big face", so he can't lose it. But for the emperor, a woman is certainly face, but if she can get a bigger face, it is not impossible to exchange. People at different levels have different thinking, and people with different identities have different thinking. Let's seek common ground while reserving differences, mutual benefit and win-win results.

"Jia Rui, in this regard, the emperor and I can still have a mutually beneficial and win-win situation, and we can maintain each other's face together, and the emperor and I can still get better cooperation. So you don't have to worry, the emperor is a very smart person, and he is a person who knows how to give up small face to fight for big face. Because he is an emperor and a powerful emperor, the level of consideration is no longer the hatred of ordinary people who kill their fathers and take their wives, but from the perspective of an emperor, so I have an intersection with his needs, which can be solved by seeking common ground while reserving differences. ”
