Chapter 39: A strong counterattack
Recently, Qian Qianyi's life has been quite good.
In order to implement the plan, the Kong family gave him a large amount of funds, and he hardly needed to make any effort. This kind of day when you can get benefits and don't need to contribute, most people are afraid that they can't grab it if they break their heads, right?
Every day, I only need to stay in the publishing house for a period of time, and publish some articles that are not salty or light, and seem to promote the divine authority of the monarchy, but in fact, if you carefully review it, you will find that it is all playing a marginal game, and even if you want to ban it, there is not enough evidence. In the final analysis, newspapers are not banned, Zhang Hongbin has always planned to maintain a relatively transparent public opinion environment, so the control of public opinion is generally tight inside and loose outside, as long as it is reviewed by guò, it can basically be published.
Most of Qian Qianyi's articles are about playing on the sidelines, commenting on how the past few dynasties responded to the argument of the divine right of kings. The words are also very fair, and there is no hint of borrowing from the past and the present, so it can still be published normally.
After the article was published, Qian Qianyi returned home and prepared for a new round of banquets.
There is no need to deliberately spread anything, just a qiē to keep it a secret to the maximum, and let all the scholars come over, in fact, it is just the most ordinary banquet. Anyway, the Kong family will pay for the wine and expenses, so they just need to be happy and don't need to do anything.
In fact, if you don't do anything, it's enough, enough to attract Fanzi's attention. After all, the 'secret banquet' and 'unknown funds', combined with the chewing of the 'scholar class', not to mention the introduction of 'rubbing the edge article', it is easy to be misunderstood, and then without saying a word, he will focus his attention on himself and try his best to find out the evidence of his crime.
In this way, the Kong family can be more unscrupulous, and the possibility of its real followers avoiding Fanzi is higher.
Yes, Qian Qianyi also knew that he was the bait thrown by the Kong family, which was very cowardly to say, but he found that he was not qualified to do anything else.
Once upon a time, he even wondered what was the use of reading books for so many years?
is over half a hundred years old, accomplishes nothing, and has a false name that can only be used as bait...... No, you can't give up on yourself like this, you're absolutely not wrong, it's the world that's wrong, if this world doesn't become too fast, you're definitely a Zaifu!
Qian Qianyi, who has entered the state of secondary two, is still in the publishing house as before......
"Editor-in-chief, there is an article coming down today, asking all newspapers to publish it!" As soon as he sat down, the editor below came in with a copy of the article.
"Oh, I'll take a look......" Qian Qianyi took the article and read it carefully.
"It's!" Halfway through this, he stood up abruptly, his face very strange.
"We have to publish it?" Qian Qianyi looked at the editor with a complicated face.
"Yes, we have to publish it, otherwise we will consider stopping and rectifying." The editor replied in a panic.
Before this editor became an editor, he was a student of Qian Qianyi, and in front of his teacher, he couldn't stand up anyway. Besides, in the eyes of people in the past, respecting teachers was a principle that must be adhered to, and it was also in the category of filial piety.
"Let's send it...... Looks like our majesty is going to compromise! Qian Qianyi handed over the article, his face full of ease.
I saw that the title of the article read: The emperor of the Republic sacrificed to the sky, and a flying stone from outside the sky landed on the Fengzen platform, which is suspected to be a sign from heaven.
Since he has calmly admitted that he has encountered a strange stone, and he also says that this is the will of God, wouldn't it be a compromise?!
Thinking of returning to his old appearance, Qian Qianyi, even if he was over half a hundred years old, couldn't help but start to breathe quickly and became excited. At this moment, he seemed to have seen the position of Zaifu and was quietly approaching him.
The next day, this article was naturally published in a smooth manner, not only the "Shilin Daily", but also newspapers all over the country published this article, and the propaganda of all kinds of flying stones from outside the sky was overwhelming. If it was a private rumor from the people before, now it is completely on the surface.
Since the officials are like this, the underground forces naturally began to increase their propaganda efforts without hesitation, and those official representatives who are inextricably linked with the Kong family also spare no effort to help start the office. At this moment, their last taboo is gone, after all, this is officially required to be promoted.
The enemy has begun to turn from dark to light, but Zhang Hongbin has begun to turn from light to dark, but many people think that he is compromised!
It was another ordinary morning, and when a coolie in Chang'an City entered the teahouse, someone immediately leaned over.
"Brother Zhao, are you here for tea again?" A hawker-like man walked over to say hello.
"It's Boss Li, business looks good today!" The man surnamed Zhao smiled and returned the salute to the man surnamed Li.
"Boss, give me a plate of fried peanuts and a bowl of tea!" The man surnamed Li shouted to the shopkeeper, "Brother Zhao, have you heard about the recent rumors?" ”
"What are the rumors lately, the hottest thing recently is the strange stone outside the sky, could it be that Boss Li is talking about?" The man surnamed Zhao asked rhetorically.
"What else could it be, this thing has gone crazy lately, and people are talking about it everywhere. Originally, this was nothing new, but I heard that there was new news recently. The man surnamed Li whispered.
"What's the fun?" The man surnamed Zhao said with a smile.
"It is rumored that there is a strange stone outside the sky in Mount Tai Feng Zen Tai, and the book 'the republic is prosperous, and the world is peaceful'." The man surnamed Li said.
"Why did you get another one?" The man surnamed Zhao immediately became interested.
"You don't know, rumors say that behind the new extraterrestrial strange stone, it is written, 'That one is late, this one can be believed.'" The man surnamed Li said with a smile.
"Ha, this day is still the first to come?" The man surnamed Zhao was really thundered.
"What's so strange, before the establishment of the republic, didn't we just call ourselves Great Qin? Come to think of it, that strange stone outside the sky is to tell the world that Daqin is the orthodoxy of the world. What is a longbow, a longbow is a weapon, and a longbow that turns back is not a drop of a weapon? What is the reason for putting down the weapon, isn't it because Daqin is orthodox in the world, everyone should not fight, and directly submit to him, so that the world will be peaceful, right? The man surnamed Li whispered.
"That can also be explained like that?" The man surnamed Zhao seemed to believe this statement.
"Otherwise, how could another piece be lowered, and it was so close. I wonder what happened to the first one that came down and was delayed, making it slow to fall to the ground. In order not to let this strange stone produce any bad results, God lowered another one. You see, the two strange stones are so close together, and the second one is actually written like that, which is believable. After the man surnamed Li finished speaking, he drank tea, threw a few peanuts in his mouth, and got up to leave.
The man surnamed Zhao thought about it and felt that this was indeed quite reliable, but he didn't want to think that at this time, an acquaintance also walked into the teahouse.
"Lao Xie, come for tea?" The man surnamed Zhao got up and said hello to his acquaintance.
"Lao Zhao? Why, it looks like something good is happening? The man surnamed Xie looked at the man surnamed Zhao and immediately sat down on the edge of his table.
"It's not a good thing, but I heard a very interesting thing......" The man surnamed Zhao replied with a smile.
This kind of thing happened everywhere, and it began to spread throughout China at an even more terrifying rate. I'm afraid that the Kong family and the forces he supports didn't expect that when it comes to the speed of spreading rumors, the Intelligence Bureau has a natural advantage.
The Confucian family and its supporters took root in the scholars and followed a top-down propaganda policy. And the intelligence bureau is rooted in the people of the three religions and nine streams, the generation of peddlers and pawns, and the intelligence personnel are distributed among the lowest people in the entire Chinese continent. Not to mention, it is more down-to-earth, it is easier to be recognized by the people, and it spreads more quickly.
So, in just five or six days, the news of the second extraterrestrial strange stone completely went viral.
is just like the trick that Liu Ru taught Zhang Hongbin that day: the best weapon to deal with rumors is the rumors themselves!
Zhang Hongbin thought so, and immediately implemented it, and in a blink of an eye, it directly covered the previous rumors and became the most mainstream rumors. In this way, the people immediately understood, and secretly said: It turns out that the first one is too late! It's really, so scared!
In this way, not only is there no danger to the political system of the republic, but the country is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, after all, this is a country recognized by God!
At the same time, in a small city in Taiwan, Kong Yu, the head of the Kong family, was furious, and he almost ran away......
