Embarrassment, never-before-seen embarrassment.

It is ironic that the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which has always been honest and honest, abiding by the law, and showing an iron-clad face, was thrown by the people with rotten eggs.

The official is just a petty official of seven or eight grades, why do they frequently overthrow high-ranking officials at the level of Shangshu Shilang, and even compete with the emperor for short and long. It depends on holding the moral high ground, and relying on not being afraid of death.

To put it bluntly, they are moral hooligans, if they have the ability, they will beat me and kill me, and if they are injured, their reputation will rise, and they will be worshiped by people all over the world, or it won't be long before they can soar to the sky, even if they are killed, they will be famous in history, and they will be envied and worshiped by countless people.

But now, things have completely changed.

Which imperial history dares to say that it is for the people? Go around the streets and see if anyone spits in the face?

Who dares to say that the court is legal, and people ask you to set up a private torture hall and cripple the world's first general, is it considered the court law? After this period of publicity, Yu Dayou's reputation completely overpowered Qi Jiguang, Ma Fang and others, and even the Southeast Naval Division under his command became the most famous army in the world.

Moral bankruptcy is a fatal blow to the imperial historian. They can't claim to be defenders, how can they deal with themselves in the capital!

No wonder they are more uncomfortable than having their ancestral graves dug up.

"The gold signboard of the Metropolitan Inspectorate must be maintained!"

Zou Yinglong, who had just been transferred to the right capital of the imperial history, said loudly that he became famous because of the impeachment of Yan Song, and he was promoted to the imperial history of the capital at the fastest speed in history.

At the moment, he is the only one left who can still jump out and speak.

Zhang Yongming, the imperial history of the left capital, and the royal court of the right capital should be Xu Wei's questioning, which was impeached by all parties and thought about it behind closed doors at home.

The other two deputy capital Yushi were also impeached, and the top and bottom of the Metropolitan Procuratorate didn't even have a decent family member, and they were going to be wiped out!

Chen Liaofang, who impeached Yu Dayou, and Hu Weixin, who also had to take the lead in the main battle, slipped away, and was sick at home, and the other imperial historians looked at him.

"Lord Zou, you can make an idea, we will all listen to you."

Zou Yinglong enjoys the feeling of being in the spotlight, and this is the first time since the impeachment of the Yan family father and son. It's just that if you want people to worship, you have to show real skills.

After being silent for a long time, he was almost impatient, and Zou Yinglong said: "Everyone, now, Mr. Yu's case must admit defeat, let's write to ask for a thorough investigation of Han Qiu's case, no matter who is involved, even if it is the princes here, they will admit it." If it continues to delay, the losses will only get bigger and bigger, the reputation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be discredited, and it will be difficult to recover. ”

When all the imperial historians heard it in their ears, they were all quite disappointed, and they thought it was a good way? Feelings are complete surrender, huh?

But after thinking about it again, I really can't think of any other way than complete surrender. It's just that after this round of storms, I don't know how many people will still be left on the table.

When disaster comes, they fly separately, and the big guys are thinking about a way out in their hearts, to put it mildly, that is, the hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead.

Some people are happy and some people are worried, Shen Mingchen is very proud, holding a silver wine jug in one hand and patting his thigh with the other, humming and chirping, singing something.

"I'll say Brother Zhang, you wild man, don't toss my ears."

Shen Mingchen rolled his eyelids, "It's because you don't understand art, maybe a hundred years later, someone will sing like this!" Wang Yin was defeated, so he had to turn his head, hide under the grape trellis, and play chess with Mao Kun.

After a while, Shen Mingchen came over again.

"Brother Juzhang, it's better to practice hard for a hundred years, we can't delay you for eternity!" Mao Kun laughed.

Shen Mingchen scratched his head, "Brother Lumen, it's really not a secret, I don't think it's very good!" ”

Mao Kun stroked his palms and laughed, "Shen Juzhang finally has self-knowledge, for this, I propose to have a drink!" ”

Wang Yin said: "How can I drink a cup enough, I think I should sing a big drama for three days, and it is best to add half a month of temple fairs." After finishing speaking, together with Mao Kun, the three of them laughed.

Shen Mingchen's face turned red, and he said angrily: "I said that you two are really calm, when is this happening, and you don't want to think about what to do next?" ”

"What to do? I do not know! Mao Kun smiled.

Wang Yin was even more simply, "Brother Juzhang, listen to you, just like what we did before?" What a joke, we are all honest, duty-bound, and good people! ”

"Phew!"

Shen Mingchen is unceremonious, are you two still good people? Where's the cheek?

When it comes to bad water, the two of you are tied for second, and as for the first place, of course, it must be Tang Yi. Compared with these three, Shen Mingchen is like a little white rabbit.

Of course, he was not idle, relying on his excellent talent for poetry, many classic jokes, such as Xu Tu in the world, were made by Shen Mingchen. It's just that compared to the other three, it seems much more honest.

Until now, Shen Mingchen has not fully figured out that his strength is so much worse, how can Tang Yi turn the overall situation around? At present, he has forced Xu Ge Lao into a corner, can he have the power of demons?

Shen Mingchen struck a spirit, Wang Yin looked at him and grinned, "I said Brother Zhang, are you still confused?" ”

"Of course not...... Only a little bit unclear! ”

Mao Kun smiled heartily, it was rare to stop playing tricks, "One minute on stage, ten years off the stage." Xu Jie's fall to today, in fact, is not wronged at all, we adults have accumulated a whole decade for this! ”

Counting from the thirty-second year of Jiajing, it is really ten years.

In addition to the power of the monarch and the power of the minister, there is also a power in the world, which is called the right of public opinion, which is also the right to speak.

Whoever holds public opinion in his hands and wants black to become white, let black become white, and if he wants white to become black, let white become black...... Although Tang Yi has not yet cultivated to the supreme realm of reversing black and white, he is also enough to influence people's opinions.

The rise of newspapers has impacted the right to speak in society.

For example, in the past, public opinion was in the hands of Shilin, especially Kedao, who regarded himself as the embodiment of justice, and their views on a certain matter or person would be accepted by scholars all over the world through forms such as Qing Tan, literary meetings, and books, and then form a consistent Shilin opinion.

The disadvantages of this model are obvious, first of all, the right to speak is concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, and secondly, because they are all clear streams, they see the problem surprisingly consistently, and it is very easy to be black and white, and it sounds high, and it is not used at all.

For example, if the state is insufficient, the emperor should save expenses; When there is a solar and lunar eclipse, the Son of Heaven will reflect on himself; To levy a commercial tax is to compete with the people for profit......

Obviously, the monotonous response of the label lacks logic, and it does not stand up to in-depth thinking and scrutiny.

Since the advent of newspapers, things have changed dramatically.

First of all, access to information has become cheaper, in the past, it was passed on by word of mouth among literati, or letters, newspapers, so many people could see it, and even some of them were only known after ten days and half a month, or even a few months, and they had already changed from news to old news.

As for the newspaper, a few copper plates, as long as you know how to read, anyone can buy it, and even if you can't afford it, you can get an old newspaper from a day or two ago from someone else's hands......

The number of people who have access to information has increased dramatically, not only the top level of scholars, ordinary children, and even merchant scribes, all who are literate can understand the changes in the imperial court. In addition, there are also people who can publish articles and express their opinions through newspapers.

The right to speak, which was originally firmly in the hands of the top-level scholars, was robbed by Tang Yi of most of it, and invisibly, the power of Kedao was weakened a lot, but the parties concerned were not aware of it.

Xu Jie is very powerful, but he still only knows how to play the traditional game, for example, he thinks that if he masters the Dao, he will master public opinion, and out of excessive self-confidence, he wants to pass the trial, convict Yu Dayou, and save the situation.

"My lord is really far-sighted, which is admirable!" Shen Mingchen sighed: "Brother Shiyue, Brother Lumen, the adults have calculated Xu Jie, why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue?" ”

Wang Yin shook his head, "Alas, the Valley of Your Heart is incomprehensible! ”

"You say I'm stupid, I just can't figure it out."

Mao Kun said with a smile: "Brother Juzhang, you let the adults chase after you, what do you want to chase?" ”

"This is naturally to attack Kedao and rob the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it is best to kill the three law divisions as well, replace them with adults, drive Xu Dang out of the imperial court, and let Xu Ge go home to coax the children, and the position of the first assistant is ......"

The more Shen Mingchen talked, the more excessive, and in the end, he simply closed his mouth and scratched his head in embarrassment, "It seems to be a little too much." ”

"Indeed, it is over!" Wang Yin sighed: "The adult officially entered the office, but in his early six years, although the adult has reached the level of the ministry, but his disciples in the same department are all low-level officials, and occasionally a few wear red robes, but they can't be alone, without more than ten years of experience, they can't control one, of course, our adults are an exception!" ”

Mao Kun grabbed a few chess pieces, rubbed them, and said: "Right now, the goal is to snatch the three divisions of the science and road, and even replace Xu Jie, and fall into the traditional routine, this is the most familiar way for Xu Jie, he spent fifteen years to kill the biggest enemy Yan Song, if we also play with Xu Jie, we will be killed by Xu Ge Lao a long time ago." ”

Shen Mingchen scratched his head, he was not stupid, on the contrary, he was smart enough, but there were too many demons around him, so he seemed a little unable to keep up.

"Don't eat the fat in your mouth, we know what you have planned."

"A few official positions are not fat." Wang Yin said with a smile: "In the past, Xu Jie and Yan Song fought, every official position had to be fought over and over again, not giving up an inch of land, killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, this kind of fighting style is not what we want." ”

"And what do we want?" Shen Mingchen asked.

"To win, to win!" Wang Yin was full of emotion, Xu Jie has been training in the local area for 20 years, forbearance for 20 years, and hope for 20 years, which can be called the strongest bureaucrat in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

It stands to reason that except for himself, no one can beat him, but Xu Jie was unlucky and met the demon Tang Yi. He was unceremonious, stood in a higher position, and watched Xu Jie's toss with a smile.

Tang Yi didn't eat at all, and he didn't bother to grab any loot, all he had to do was to show Xu Jie's conspiracy and calculation and ugly side to the world, and when he and Yan Song were not human or ghostly, they would completely lose their threat...... (To be continued.) )
