The Donglin Party's rumor-mongering method is actually very simple, that is, to use its huge network and influence to spread rumors on a large scale. Among the cultural elements, the Donglin Party has a relatively large influence and uses hand-copied newspapers, Qinglou and other methods and places to spread rumors.

The other is to mobilize businessmen, using the financial resources and channels of businessmen to spread rumors through guò teahouses, taverns and other places.

This time, the Donglin Party fell into a disadvantage because of the dispute with the 'Apocalypse Party' formed by Wei Zhongxian, and these Apocalypse Party officials were constantly promoted, and the Donglin Party bosses and Ma Tsai fell one after another, so they naturally couldn't calm down.

Since the court can't do it, let's stink the Apocalypse Party from public opinion.

So the term 'eunuch' appeared, no matter what kind of officials who defected to the emperor, since the emperor let the eunuchs come forward to manage this group of officials, then it was evil. A eunuch is a villain, he has no human rights, and his character is very bad.

Only children distinguish between right and wrong, and adults only talk about interests.

For politicians at the level of the Donglin Party, the concept of right and wrong is no longer important to them, but the important thing is interests. However, ordinary people still talk about the concept of right and wrong, so these Donglin parties took advantage of this concept of right and wrong, first attacked Wei Zhongxian's status as a eunuch, and came up with a set of laws - the consequences of eunuchs interfering in politics are strict.

For Wei Zhongxian's 'eunuch party' who came forward to unite, the concept of right and wrong is not so important, and it is more of a conflict of interests with the Donglin Party.

There is not much difference between the two sides.

It's just that for Zhu Youxiao, the concept of right and wrong is very important. Once the concept of right and wrong is confused, the country will be doomed.

Zhu Youxiao's purpose in supporting the eunuch party was to change the fundamental problem of the current Donglin party. Continuing to let the Donglin Party occupy the position, the state reform cannot be carried out at all.

On the contrary, those eunuchs can at least be able to give orders because they are obedient, which is very important for the next reform.

The rumors of the Donglin Party are taking advantage of the people's view of right and wrong to mislead. Let the common people who have common interests with Zhu Youxiao oppose Zhu Youxiao's decision-making.

Many people actually know that it is rumor-mongering, but it is in the interests of the class, so those people also follow the rumor with their eyes open. Ordinary people don't know much about these things, and sometimes they just listen to these rumors as an after-dinner pastime, but sometimes when they encounter any injustice, they will be angry with the emperor.

As Zhu Youxiao attacked the Donglin Party again, the rumors went viral again.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao still put some effort into public opinion, and during this time, he had to take some time every day to listen to the reports of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, including feedback from public opinion.

"The Donglin Party spread rumors that the emperor was deceived by Father-in-law Wei, so he did not distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and slandered the loyal ministers of the Donglin Party for corruption, but promoted the corrupt officials." Tian Ergeng reported that Wei Zhongxian was also at the scene, and immediately wailed: "Your Majesty, you want to be the master of the slaves!" Who are these people! It can turn black and white upside down like this. ”

Of course, Wei Zhongxian couldn't confuse Zhu Youxiao, he was originally carrying out Zhu Youxiao's will. So it's really wronged, of course, it's a belly fire.

"Do you have a solution?" Zhu Youxiao asked, thinking about countermeasures.

"Your Majesty, the Donglin Party can spread rumors, why can't we spread rumors? As long as we throw some money down, we can make a bigger noise than them. "Wei Zhongxian can't bear it anymore, the center of the vortex of the Donglin Party's rumors this time is him Wei Zhongxian, if it goes on like this, his reputation will be stinky.

"Do you think we're going to be useful in spreading rumors?" Zhu Youxiao knew that things were far from being as simple as they appeared, and said: "Even if we refute rumors and spread rumors, those rumors of the Donglin Party will continue to be popular, after all, the rumors of the Donglin Party are in line with the interests of those landlords, businessmen, officials, and nobles." In other words, no matter how much money we throw at the time of Taoism, people will still choose to believe the rumors of the Donglin Party, because I have harmed their interests, and I am a faint monarch to them. ”

"Your Majesty." Tian Ergeng bowed and said, "Since it is because of the issue of interests, can we win over the public opinion of ordinary people?" ”

"That's a good idea." Zhu Youxiao clapped his hands and said: "The factory guard immediately set up a propaganda department to train secret market propaganda personnel. ”

"Your Majesty, is this useful?" Wei Zhongxian asked with some concern.

"It's useful, since the Donglin Party has the support of the superstructure, then we will enlist the support of the people at the bottom. After all, our decision-making is in line with the interests of the people at the bottom. Zhu Youxiao said.

When Wei Zhongxian heard Zhu Youxiao say this, his mind suddenly brightened.

Since the landlords, merchants, and officials were reluctant to support the emperor's current reforms, it was mainly because their interests had been harmed. The goal of the reform is to let the people at the bottom gain benefits, so as to stabilize the empire. Then it is completely possible to seek the support of the people at the bottom.

In contrast, the landlords, businessmen, and powerful people, despite their wealth and connections, controlled most of the social resources. However, their number is small after all, and as long as ordinary people know the truth, those people will not be able to spread rumors. After all, the real power of rumors is to incite the ignorant masses who do not know how to compete.

"Your Majesty." Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed, and finally found a way to control the rumors of the Donglin Party.

After Tian Ergeng and Wei Zhongxian returned, they immediately jointly set up a propaganda department, and then began to transfer the secret agents who had been developed in the market to the propaganda department for training, and at the same time recruited and developed a group of new intelligence personnel.

In other words, what is the most important thing in developing intelligence?

In addition to basic technology, the most important thing is money!

There is enough money to throw it down, and there are a lot of people who are willing to work hard for the factory guards. Ordinary people in the market suddenly learned that they were going to be absorbed by the factory guards to become spies, and as long as they paid attention to collecting intelligence or something every month, they could get a sum of silver, and such a good thing would naturally not be missed.

The training is not difficult, and the promotional materials are proficient.

In less than a week, public opinion in all parts of the capital quickly reversed.

Compared with the Donglin Party's propaganda line at the lower levels, the factory guards began to follow the propaganda line of the lower classes of the people in accordance with Zhu Youxiao's instructions. I saw a construction site, where the workers worked until noon, and then stopped to eat. Groups of three or five squatted or sitting, enjoying the lunch provided on the construction site.

A man in his fifties with a goatee squatted on a stone with food at this time, and he was not in a hurry to eat, but looked left and right, and sighed loudly, "The emperor is still good to us poor people!" Knowing that our life is not easy, he gives us ten cents more than others to work, and gives us a full meal at noon. ”

"Yes! The emperor today has nothing to say in this regard. Someone immediately chimed in: "If you work as a long-term worker for a landlord in the countryside, how can you have a full meal at noon, and it would be good if I could give you a bean paste bag." ”

"That thing is quite hungry, but it hurts your stomach to eat too much on an empty stomach!"

"I heard that the current saint was confused by Wei Zhongxian and arrested a lot of loyal ministers, I don't know if it's true?" A worker asked in confusion, judging from many signs, this emperor does not look like a faint king!

"You stupid! Can't you see whether the saint is a saint or a faint monarch today? Who gave you this food? The man in his fifties suddenly asked.

"It's the emperor."

"Yes! The repair of toilets, bathhouses, and sewers is all money from the emperor's internal funds, and soon the emperor will repair affordable housing, so that those of us who cannot afford to live in the capital will have a house to live in. Can such an emperor be a faint king? Since ancient times, only those emperors who don't care about the life or death of the poor people will make the world chaotic, and that is the faint king! Today, if the saint can think of us poor people, how can he be a faint king. The man in his fifties preached loudly, and the workers around him gathered one after another, apparently very interested in the topic.

After all, life is not good, and they all expect to produce a good emperor and lead them to a good life.

"What kind of affordable housing does the emperor really want to build for us?" A worker asked in surprise, and the man in his fifties nodded very affirmatively: "Of course, I heard from relatives in the palace." ”

"Lao Wang, you have relatives in the palace, and the news is much better than ours. What kind of person is this emperor today? Why do you want to arrest those Donglin parties? A worker on the side, as if singing a double reed, asked the fifty-year-old Wang.

"You don't know this, do you?" Lao Wang said and took a bite of the bread, and he was not in a hurry to answer, but took a few bites, laughed incomprehensibly, and then said: "Let me tell you a story about the current emperor!" ”

"Speak quickly, speak quickly." A large number of workers suddenly gathered around, and Lao Wang spoke and said in very straightforward and simple words: "It is said that when the emperor first ascended the throne, the treasury was no longer silver. So the emperor said to the officials of the Donglin Party that they had to find a way to collect some taxes, otherwise the court would have no silver, and there would be chaos. ”

"The emperor wants to collect taxes, but whose taxes are collected! At that time, the emperor said that he would collect taxes from merchants, because merchants had money and never paid any taxes. However, the officials of the Donglin Party came out to oppose it, saying that the businessmen had no money to pay taxes! The best way is to add a field in the north. At that time, the emperor wondered when he heard it, which was not logical. It didn't take long for the emperor to know that many families in the Donglin Party were doing business! If the emperor levied a commercial tax, this was taking money out of their pockets, would they be happy? They all want to count the taxes on our poor people! ”

"Fortunately, the emperor Shengming, he said at the time that it is not easy for the common people to live, where can they collect taxes from the common people. Instead, they should collect taxes from businessmen and then subsidize the common people so that they can live a good life. But the Donglin Party refused! The imperial merchants levied commercial taxes, and they made an obstacle from it, spreading rumors and slandering everywhere. So this time, the imperial merchant was annoyed and arrested a group of Donglin Party villains. ”

When the surrounding workers heard this, they sighed: "So that's the case!" ”

"The Donglin Party won't really be that bad, right?" Another worker asked that their ideas were still relatively simple, and they simply looked at the problem from the perspective of good and bad.

"Of course, these Donglin parties are broken, they are all towards those landlords and merchants, because they themselves are. Who cares if we live or die for the poor? They do a lot of bad things......"

The ugly things that the Donglin Party did were quickly pulled out one by one, and after some oil and vinegar, it was simply blackened to death. Hearing the indignation of the surrounding workers, why are these Donglin Party people who eat and drink spicy food, but they can't even live a stable life? (To be continued.) )
