Listening to Yinxiang's words, several people listened with bated breath, although they all knew that the debate of Jingbao Ningbao was from Zhenwu's instructions, but they did not know why Zhenwu wanted to use this method to guide public opinion, obviously, Zhenwu was not only encouraging Ningbao to criticize the new deal, but also did not make any restrictions, this kind of unrestricted debate, the risk is really a bit big, in Zhenwu's consistent style, there must be another intention behind this, I don't know the master's intentions, they naturally dare not speak.

Zhenwu glanced at Yinxiang, and then smiled slightly: "The reason why I asked Lang Yanji to establish Ning Bao is to set up an opponent for Jing Bao, if Ning Bao also has the same tone as Jing Bao, it will lose the meaning of existence." This is the same as writing an article, blindly flat and straightforward, can not arouse people's interest, there must be contradictions, conflicts, and debates, in order to arouse the interest and attention of most people.

The reason why I do not restrict Ningbao is not only to create a relaxed atmosphere for not offending people with literature, but also to encourage officials and gentlemen to care about state affairs and world affairs, and actively supervise and discuss state affairs.

In addition, with such a platform, the imperial court can also benefit a lot, not only to understand more about the people's feelings, but also to find loopholes and deficiencies from their provocations and criticisms, so as to clean up the effect of filling the gaps.

This time, he provoked the debate of the Beijing newspaper and the Ningbao by discussing the reasons for the death of the Ming Dynasty, and caused the officials and gentry in Jiangnan to criticize the new policy, which established the status of the Ningbao in one fell swoop, and aroused the attention and interest of the officials, gentry, businessmen and the common people in the Ningbao. ”

Let the gentry supervise and discuss state affairs, which is the one that is sung again? Since ancient times, I have never heard of it, and Zhenwu talked eloquently, Yinxi, Yinxiang, and Zhang Pengxi couldn't help but be stunned, Zhenwu meant to let Ning Bao speak freely, and allow Ning Bao to wantonly criticize the court and officials, isn't this a mess? This is purely self-inflicted, and there is nothing to be idle. Look for scolding!

Moaned slightly. Xiao Yongzao said tentatively: "Your Majesty, even so, the minions secretly thought that they could not be allowed to attack Manchuria without a little restriction and endanger the orthodoxy of the Qing Dynasty. ”

Zhenwu said disapprerovitously: "The Qing Dynasty has ruled the world for more than 70 years, leveled the northwest border troubles, and calmed the sea troubles in the south of the Yangtze River. The world is unified, the people recuperate and recuperate, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and each does his job, so that all industries prosper. Commerce and trade are prosperous, the country is safe and the people are governed, and thieves are at peace.

Externally, it opened up its territory and expanded its territory, submitted to all countries, and all countries came to the court, which can be described as a port of people's health, a safe place at home and abroad, and a Yin Fu at home, and the people of the Qing Dynasty have long regarded the Qing Dynasty as orthodox. Even if there are people with resentment, people occasionally have offensive words. How can the orthodoxy of the Qing Dynasty be erased?

The so-called justice is in the hearts of the people, whether it is orthodox or not. The Qing Dynasty should not only be comparable to the Ming Dynasty, but also surpass the Ming Dynasty and surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the Qing Dynasty needs not only the peace of the world, the people's health and the port, but also the development of people's wisdom and the broadening of the road, so that the gentry and the people are proud of the Qing Dynasty, proud of the Qing Dynasty, wholeheartedly support the Qing Dynasty, and maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty. ”

Hearing this, Yinxi and Yinxiang couldn't help but feel suddenly in their hearts, no wonder the old 14th began to innovate the Eight Banners system as soon as he sat firmly in his position, and gradually relaxed the restrictions on the banner people, and lifted the shackles of the local garrison of the Eight Banners, and vigorously promoted the integration of Manchu and Han, and encouraged Manchu and Han marriages, it turned out that he had such ambitions.

Zhang Pengxi, Xiao Yongzao, and Song Zhu were also shocked by Zhenwu's ambition, Zhenwu actually had a virtue with Kangxi, and he also wanted to be an emperor through the ages, no one thought that his intention in founding Ningbao was to form a platform where he could freely express his speech, and even criticize the court and the imperial court's policies, so as to encourage the gentry and businessmen to supervise and discuss the government.

Groaning slightly, Zhang Pengxi bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, encouraging the gentry and businessmen to supervise and discuss the government is really unheard of, this move is tantamount to opening a precedent for a generation, only the broad-minded Ming Jun dares to taste it, and the micro-ministers secretly think that this move is conducive to the development of people's wisdom, opening up the way of speech, and is also conducive to the supervision of the court members and local officials, and is conducive to the timely discovery of the shortcomings of the imperial court.

However, this move is tantamount to increasing the difficulty of the imperial court's governance, increasing the difficulty of the imperial court's guidance of public opinion, and may also form a bad atmosphere of clear talk and misleading the country, and is not conducive to stabilizing people's hearts and local stability. ”

As soon as he saw Zhang Pengxi taking the lead in firing the cannon, Yinxi also followed closely and said: "Your Majesty, Jiangnan is a place where the literary style is at its peak, and there are many talents, and there is no shortage of famous Confucians. On the other hand, Jiangnan is a rich and prosperous place, and the rich businessmen are like carp crossing the river, and the ministers are also worried about the situation that the rich businessmen and giants control the Ningbao, and the Jiangnan is a major tax place for the state, and the ministers also prayed to the emperor to be careful. ”

Yinxiang also followed: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that it is worth giving it a try to encourage the gentry and businessmen to supervise and discuss the government, but the emperor has refreshed the rule of officials, and the disadvantages of innovation are in the ascendant, can it be postponed for a few years and then implemented?" ”

Seeing that Xiao Yongzao was also about to open his mouth, Zhenwu stretched out his hand and pressed it weakly, and said, "Fifteenth brother, you are in charge of the Beijing Daily, and you can talk about the procedures for publishing articles in the Beijing Daily." ”

"Brother's Honor." Yin Yu hurriedly bowed down, raised his body, and then he said: "Beijing Daily, there are special writers in Beijing and various provincial capitals and counties, most of them are well-known local gentry, generally one or two people in states and counties, and two or three people above the government, all of whom write directly to Beijing Daily, and the personnel written by the writers are not limited to the local area.

The manuscripts of the writers of the Beijing News must be reviewed by the editor-in-chief, and the sample report must be submitted to the emperor for publication at the end. ”

"The requirements for writers are a little looser, and it is easier for manuscripts to be published in Ningbao." Zhenwu took over and said: "Although there is no restriction on Ningbao, it is not completely laissez-faire, new things must be well guided, completely free, there must be a process, of course, Ningbao will eventually become a completely free people's newspaper." ”

A completely free people's newspaper? Allowing private newspapers to be founded? A few people couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but this is a later story, no one wants to say more, Zhenwu glanced at a few people, and then said: "For the sake of Ning Bao's reputation, and in order to create a good start for Ning Bao, I have made Lang Yanji not restrict Ning Bao, this debate between Beijing Daily and Ning Bao, Beijing Daily must win."

The root of the Ming Dynasty is closely related to the implementation of the new policy implemented in Shanxi and the trial. I thought that the death of the Ming Dynasty was due to the disaster of the exiles, the emptiness of the treasury, and the inability to raise troops, but with a strong army, the capital division would not be captured by the exiles, and Wu Sangui would not surrender Shanhaiguan in the case of the enemy on his back. ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "The decree summons Wang Hongxu to return to Beijing, reward back the original grade, and still enter the Ming History Museum to be responsible for the compilation of the "History of the Ming Dynasty", the country must not be without history, for the compilation of the "History of the Ming Dynasty", we must dare to write directly, we must investigate the historical materials in detail, there is no need to deliberately avoid, beautify the dynasty, and we cannot deliberately distort it, the Qing Dynasty deliberately scandalized the Ming Dynasty, and future generations will also deliberately scandalize my Qing Dynasty, and we must deliberately cultivate historians who dare to write straight.

In addition, the officials of the Ming History Museum were ordered to write articles for the Beijing Daily, comprehensively and profoundly exploring the causes of the Ming Dynasty's demise, not only for debate, but also to make it clear to the officials and gentry of the government and the opposition that the Ming Dynasty that created the rule of Renxuan, Hongzhi Zhongxing, and Longwan Zhongxing declined and perished.

The people are the root of the country, the gentry is the foundation of the country, and the Qing Dynasty is the co-governance of the court and the gentry. The court and the gentry can be said to be connected with interests, and share a common fate, so that the gentry can look far ahead and think more about future generations.

Li Guangdi, Zhang Pengxi, Fang Bao, Dai Mingshi, Chen Menglei and others wrote articles for the Beijing Daily, elaborating on the relationship between the gentry and the imperial court, expounding the necessity of the new policy, and calling on hundreds of officials of the imperial court to write articles for the Beijing Daily. ”

Obediently, Zhenwu is mobilizing all the forces of the imperial court to fight with the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River! This is really called looking for something to do, Zhang Pengxi, Xiao Yongzao, Song Zhu and the other three people in the study hurriedly bowed down and said: "Weichen and others respect the holy oracle." ”

Yinyu and Yinxiang are secretly smacking their tongues, it seems that the big debate between Beijing News and Ning Bao will be more intense, this time can be lively, but Yinyu is secretly complaining, this time some are busy, Beijing News up and down I am afraid that it will be busy in the dark.

Zhenwu glanced at a few people, and then continued: "In addition, the academic administration and local officials of the provincial capitals, prefectures, and counties are ordered to supervise the students of the provincial schools, government schools, state schools, and county schools, as well as the students of various academies, Western studies, social studies, and Yixue, to discuss and study the Jingbao Ningbao in recent times, and publicize it widely. ”

"The ministers obey." Yin Yu and the others hurriedly bowed down and said, all of them were secretly speechless, in this way, this debate will affect all states and counties in the Qing Dynasty, and Ning Bao is an instant hit.

Zhenwu nodded slightly, and said, "Yinxi, Yinxiang stay, and the others kneel down." ”

Yinyu and Zhang Pengxi, who were waiting, withdrew, Zhenwu took two sips of tea, and then said with a smile: "Brother Ten broke up with me in Tongguan, went south to Shanghai, and then rushed to Nanyang Karopa via Guangzhou to conquer the navy in Africa. ”

As soon as they heard that Yinqi had already gone south to Karopa, Yinxi and Yinxiang hurriedly bowed down and said: "Back to the emperor, the manpower and ships have been arranged, and they have begun to go south one after another in July. ”

Zhenwu nodded slightly, and said: "During this time, the officials have been increased, the Eight Banners Green Battalion has been paid, the Janissaries have been recruited, the Navy has been recruited, and silver has been asked everywhere, and my internal funds can only support for two years at most, and Africa must see silver within two years." After a slight pause, he looked at Yinxi and said, "How did the starling talk with Arai Junmei?" (To be continued.) )
