After sending Ruan Dacheng away, Zhu Youcheng was silent for a long time, and the deterioration of the situation had exceeded his expectations. Suddenly, he nodded violently and said, "Come on, thousands of troops and horses have broken over, are you still afraid of you villains who hurt people with hidden arrows?" ”

He led the guards and urged the horses back to the capital.

The person he was looking for was Wei Zhongxian, but this time he didn't use the power of Dongchang to suppress speech - the civil officials are very strong, and they are stronger when they are strong, not only can they not achieve their goals, but they are easy to be truthful.

Since the civil officials are difficult for him in the court, then he will overwhelm the civil officials in public opinion. Wei Zhongxian was in charge of the "Di Bao" supplement, which was the guidance of public opinion in the world.

Wei Zhongxian has many eyes and ears, and naturally he also learned the news of the impeachment of Zhu Youcheng by many ministers. The two met and chatted and smiled, because they both thought of this weapon at the same time.

Wei Zhongxian urgently summoned Xu Siyue, the editor of the "Di Bao" Supplement, to arrange the matter of hyping Cangzhou's great victory. Xu Siyue had to listen to Zhu Youcheng's boasting. Zhu Youcheng is good at commenting on books, and this matter is his personal experience, so he is talking about it in a down-to-earth manner. Xu Siyue was fascinated by what he heard, and he was about to record something with a pink card, but he forgot to record it when he listened to it.

Xu Siyue smiled awkwardly and said, "Lord Zhu is so eloquent, the subordinate only cares about listening to the story and forgets to record it." But don't worry, I've got it here. ”

As he spoke, he knocked on the door of his head with a plaster pen.

After listening to the story, Xu Siyue was ready to go back to write.

Zhu Youcheng suddenly asked: "Lord Xu, which novel is being serialized in the "Novel Serialization" of the "Di Bao" Supplement? ”

"Ling Mengchu's novel "Liaodong Blood and Tears"."

"Suspend the serialization and change it to "Cangzhou Blood Rain". I'll send it overnight, and I won't delay you from printing the newspaper. ”

"This ......" Xu Siyue glanced at Zhu Youcheng in embarrassment.

Wei Zhongxian nodded slightly, and Xu Siyue agreed.

Zhu Youcheng didn't plan to trouble Ling Mengchu and returned to the children's paradise. personally handled the knife, wrote the manuscript, and then sent the guards to Xu Siyue, the secretary of the General Administration. Zhu Youcheng is not an ordinary military general, his articles have been praised by many literati and writers, and this time he is even more familiar with writing popular novels.

The next day. The capital was in turmoil. Because the Cangzhou incident was in a hurry and it was the hinterland of Gyeonggi, in order to maintain stability, the "Di Bao" and "Di Bao" Supplement blocked the relevant news, and the people did not know about it at all. Now that the news of the rebellion in Cangzhou was suddenly published, the people were a little stunned. Looking at the detailed report, the people were surprised and delighted. Surprisingly, 50,000 people participated in the Cangzhou Rebellion, and it was becoming more and more intense. If it is allowed to spread, it will be difficult for Beijing to keep safe; Happily, the combat power of Jinyi Weixi Zhenfu Division is amazing, 2,000 to 50,000, Zhu Youcheng is comparable to Gu Zhibai. Of course, the newspaper did not hide the massacre of the bandits ordered by Zhu Youcheng. However, at the time of the report, the evil deeds of the bandits were also written. Let the reader feel that Zhu Youcheng killed well and killed happily.

The storyteller in the capital was overjoyed. People have the psychology of seeking novelty and curiosity. No matter how good the review is, if you talk about it seventeen or eighteen times, everyone doesn't like it. So where is the latest book? Of course, in the "Novel Serialization" of the "Di Bao" Supplement. However, in recent times, the novel serialized in the "Di Bao" supplement is "Liaodong Blood and Tears", which describes the atrocities of Jiannu in Liaodong, although the story is twisty and novel. But it is all about the suffering of the Han people, as long as it is the Ming people, they are not happy to listen to this story. So when Mr. Storyteller talks about this book, he can fight flies if his business is light. Now the book has been changed, although the people of Cangzhou are also Han people. Despite the same suffering, the bandits were later punished with justice, which was very relieving and would surely attract a large audience.

The imperial historians are not in the right situation now, and they asked Xu Siyue, the editor-in-chief of the "Di Bao" Supplement, to stop publicizing the victory of Cangzhou and cut the novel "Cangzhou Blood Rain" in half.

Xu Siyue did a great job, not only rejecting the imperial history with "freedom of the press", but also made a special report the next day, and published the experience and requirements of the imperial history in detail in the newspaper, which made the imperial history disgraced, and their reputation reached a new low.

Xu Siyue thought very clearly, he was Wei Zhongxian's little Taibao, even if he agreed to the requirements of the imperial historians, he was still the lackey of the dead gelding, and if he did not agree to the requirements of the imperial historians, he was still the lackey of the dead gelding. As soon as Xu Siyue weighed it slightly, he decided to do it absolutely - since he could not obtain the understanding of the civil and official system, he would strive to show himself in front of Wei Zhongxian, and perhaps he could go further in politics. Sure enough, Wei Zhongxian saw that he was in the newspaper Dayue, and after a period of time, he promoted Xu Siyue to the counselor of the Wupintong Political Division, and was also responsible for the compilation of "Di Bao" and "Di Bao" Supplement.

Seeing that Xu Siyue's path could not be followed, the imperial historians were worried that the nights were long and dreamy—the opinions of the people were conveyed to the palace, and they would inevitably influence the decision of the Emperor of the Apocalypse—and asked the emperor to discuss this matter as soon as possible. In fact, they thought badly about this matter, Wei Zhongxian was the mastermind behind the "Di Bao" Supplement, and as soon as the newspaper came out, it would not be sent to the emperor to read immediately. No matter how fast they are, can they be faster than Wei Zhongxian?

On the grounds that the large army had not yet withdrawn and it was impossible to determine the truth of the matter, the Emperor of the Apocalypse decided to postpone the court meeting and wait for King Xin to bring back the Jinyi Guard, and then publicly try the matter.

On September 15, the fifth year of the Great Tomorrow Apocalypse, King Xin led his troops into Beijing, and offered prisoners at noon, which was out of the limelight. Although the people had long known the news of Cangzhou's victory, the grand noon ceremony of sacrificing prisoners at the noon gate still opened the eyes of the people, after all, it was more intuitive and uplifting to see the evil bandits escorted to the capital.

But when it comes to Jinyi Weixi Zhenfusi, it's really remarkable, in just a few years, three consecutive noon prisoners have been sacrificed, and each time it is not a small fish or shrimp. The first time was the two grandsons of Nuer Hachi, the second time was one of the sons of Nuer Hachi, and the third time was the leader of the 50,000 rebels.

After the noon ceremony, the bandits were escorted to the criminal department for a public trial, and the evidence of their crimes was conclusive, and they were sentenced to Ling Chi soon after. He was strong without mud, and he had to cut more than 3,000 knives before he died, while the other bandits were much worse, and they hung up with a thousand knives.

After King Shin sacrificed his captives, he entered the Imperial Palace, and the ministers did not greet them with a welcome gaze, but rather disdain. Shin Wang checked himself up and down, and it seemed that he was not wearing the wrong clothes.

For King Xin, the only one who can influence his mood is Zhu Youcheng. King Xin didn't care that this was the Jinluan Palace, and when he found Zhu Youcheng, he rushed over, grabbed his hand, and before he could speak, he heard a voice like thunder: "Lord Xin, you and Zhu Youcheng went on the expedition together, you must have seen him kill good and take credit." You are a noble man and your words are credible, please boldly testify against the evil deeds of Zhu Youcheng, a traitor. ”

King Xin let go of Zhu Youcheng's hand, turned his head and said, "It's not right for this lord to speak like this. First, Brother Cheng is the younger brother of the emperor's elder brother and the elder brother of the lonely king. Second, Brother Cheng is decisive in killing, but every bandit who is killed has a way to die, are you jealous of Brother Cheng's talent and merit by slandering Jinyiwei like this? ”

King Xin followed Zhu Youcheng to practice a good eloquence, and the minister retreated.

Then, another imperial historian stepped forward and said: "According to the report of the Tongzhi of Hejian Prefecture, there are 431 corpses with tied hands in Wuzhuangzi Village in the north of Cangzhou, what is your explanation?" ”

Shin did not answer directly, but said, "Before answering this question, I would like to ask you to look at a painting. ”

After speaking, King Xin made a move with his right hand, and the two guards took out a picture scroll and slowly opened it. The picture scroll is more and more open, it is actually a long scroll of Chinese painting, two feet high, more than two zhang wide, larger than the famous work "Qingming Riverside Picture".

King Xin said: "This painting is a Cangzhou gentry who thanked Brother Cheng for quickly quelling the rebellion, and asked me to bring it to Brother Cheng, and the name is called "Cangzhou Chaos Map". ”

After speaking, he glanced at Zhu Youcheng imperceptibly, meaning that I did a good job. Zhu Youcheng secretly gave a thumbs up and praised. When King Shin saw that he was praised by Brother Cheng again, his eyes narrowed into a slit with joy.

King Xin is not familiar with power and scheming, and he can't think of using pictures to speak, this task was assigned by Zhu Youcheng. Before Zhu Youcheng left Cangzhou, he got a report from Lu Ping, the garrison of Cangzhou, and knew that someone was eyeing the matter of Wu Zhuangzi Village, although he knew that the Emperor of the Apocalypse would not punish him for this matter, but he didn't want to add trouble to the emperor, so he made preparations in advance, so that King Xin could find a painter in Cangzhou and depict the war in Cangzhou.

"Cangzhou Rebellion Map" depicts in detail the tragic scene of slaughtering the people without mud, the general Chinese painting scroll only uses black ink, and uses the shade of ink to represent the depth of the mountain, but this picture in addition to the black ink, but also uses red cinnabar, the whole picture is full of red, and these red are the blood of the innocent people of Cangzhou.

Wei Zhongxian walked down the jade steps, stroked the long scroll with his hand, and couldn't help but shed tears. Because he saw a scene of robbery digging a grave on the screen, and the surrounding area of the grave was depicted, and the bones were scattered all over the ground.

Wei Zhongxian asked quietly: "Lord Zhu, why did you also draw the matter of our ancestral grave being excavated without mud?" ”

Zhu Youcheng also lowered his voice and said: "It is his sin not to get mud and steal graves and dig graves, not the shame of Grandpa Wei." Besides, they only dug the ancestral graves of the Wei family without mud, and the graves of other families were too short and too small for them to look down on. If I don't draw this, what else can I draw? ”

"By the way, did you help me repair the ancestral grave?"

"I have already asked Xu Ruzhi, the prefect of Cangzhou, to do this, and I specially told me to repair it to be similar to other people's graves, and not to stand out from the crowd, or not to attract thieves again."

Wei Zhongxian patted Zhu Youcheng on the shoulder, sighed, and didn't speak again. (To be continued!)
