Chapter 418 The Imperial Prison Begins!

Business warfare, psychological warfare, palace warfare, diplomatic warfare, public opinion warfare......

Battlefields are everywhere, and wars happen all the time.

At this moment, a public opinion war is taking place in Hangzhou.

In the war of public opinion, there is no blood, but the murderous spirit is still pressing.

As an emperor, you must control three major powers, one is military power, only with military power in hand, security can be guaranteed, and rebellion can be suppressed at any time; The second is to control financial power, only by controlling financial power, can we raise an army, in order to deal with all kinds of accidents, money is not omnipotent, but without money, absolutely can't; The third is the right of public opinion and the right to speak.

To a certain extent, the power of public opinion exceeds the power of military and financial power.

In many moments, except for the founding king, the emperor rarely directly controlled the army, and his control over the army was very low; In addition to the founding kings, many kings also lost their financial power, were hollowed out by their courtiers, and the treasury was empty.

However, once the power of public opinion is controlled, even if the army is out of control, some generals do not dare to rebel; Even if you don't have money, you can collect it.

Since Zhao Pu became the emperor, he attached great importance to the power of public opinion, tested the mouthpiece of the gentry, brainwashed the people at the bottom, deceived the middle-level gentry, and reformed the ministers. It's like engaging in a market boom, saying different things to different groups of people and different strata, in order to implement the anti-gold policy.

There are two main sources of public opinion, one is the mainstream media communication, such as newspapers and notices; One source is the rumors spread by non-mainstream media, such as restaurants and green houses, where crowds gather.

And sometimes, rumors are more than the mainstream media. It's easier to spread, it's easier to win people's trust.

In many moments, the people preferred to believe the rumors. I don't believe the government's words.

In order to control public opinion and unify thinking, newspapers were founded and the mainstream media were controlled; But this alone is not enough, there is no Hanyu Pinyin and no simplified Chinese characters in these years, and the literacy rate is very low. Most groups are illiterate, and they are more likely to believe rumors on the streets.

If you simply think that you control the newspaper. If you control public opinion, you are very wrong.

The Military Intelligence Department and the Internal Security are mainly to control these non-mainstream media and control the spread of these rumors in a timely manner.

And with the start of this war of public opinion. Some unknown insider story. It was also revealed, of course, there may be mistakes, there may be unjust, false and wrongful cases, but he can't care about it so much. In this era, the most important thing is unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.

Looking at the information on the desk, Zhao Pu kept analyzing, and a sneer appeared on his face, "Bull ghost god snake." It's all out, and it looks like it's going to be cleaned again! ”

"Public opinion war. The winner of the last is not to say that he can say, but who controls the gun! ”

"It seems that Qin Hui is still shrewd, and he didn't come out to mix at this moment!"

"Hangzhou, I'm going to see blood!"

Zhao Pu took a light breath and felt a little depressed.

Zhao Pu has always maintained tolerance and restraint towards the scholars, feeling that this is a time of war, and it is best to unite and unite with the outside world, and only unity can better resist gold. It's just that at the moment of pursuing unity, he neglected to fight the bull ghost.

Zhao Pu felt that the constant brainwashing, the constant unification of thoughts, and the constant attack on the Jin Army would not affect the overall situation.

But he still ignored and despised those bulls, ghosts, gods and snakes.

These cows, ghosts, gods and snakes are constantly tempting, constantly testing the bottom line, and at this moment they are playing a public opinion war.

Once the second emperor comes back, I don't know what the trouble will be like at that time!

"If you give two points of color, you have to dye your hair, don't clean it, don't cut people, you won't feel comfortable!" Zhao Pu gritted his teeth and said, "Since you can't be convinced, then completely eliminate it?" A dead enemy is a good enemy; A dead politician is a good politician! ”

Zhao Pu was very sad, he never wanted to cut people, especially the courtiers of the Song Dynasty, it made no sense.

In any case, these ministers of the Song Dynasty are all his workers, all his employees, there is no merit and hard work, there is no hard work and fatigue, and there is sweat without fatigue. It's just that sometimes, I have to do it, and the so-called Tao is not the same.

The ass decides the head, and the ass sits on that side and speaks for that side.

Political struggle has nothing to do with good or evil, right or wrong, but only interests.

As long as the interests are damaged, even if it is an evil thing, it will still be done; As long as the interests are damaged, the humble gentleman will also turn into a nightmare.

It's not about discipline, it's about profit.

"Let's start the edict!"

Zhao Pu said, after finishing speaking, it seemed that he had exhausted all the strength of his body.

"Wechen obeys!"

Zhao Da, the leader of the internal guard, got up and left, there was no emperor's will, no clear order, but he knew what he should do.

At that time, the emperor was still the thirteenth prince, His Royal Highness King Yi, and he was a guard at that time, and he was responsible for handling trivial matters; Now, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, and there are some things that can only be thought about but not done, and these things that cannot be done need him to do.

…………

The city of Hangzhou was the political center of the Great Song Dynasty.

Since Zhao Pu temporarily set the capital in Hangzhou, it has been in a stable and prosperous state, and it is a paradise on earth.

People who are idle and bored to read always like a round of current affairs, which is the so-called worrying about the country and the people. At this moment, a heated discussion began around the Second Emperor and the Northern Expedition, and some forces were also involved, guiding the trend.

Scholars, when they are young, are mostly hot-blooded, impulsive, self-righteous, and admit death.

This is their greatest merit, they will not hesitate to live for the sake of their ideals, they will die without regrets, they are the best brainwashing objects, they are the mainstay of reform and reform, and they are the main force to clean up the old class and fight against the old school;

And this is also their biggest shortcoming, ignoring the opinions of others, despising life like a mustard, ignoring reality for the sake of ideals, being easily bewitched by others, being the most vulnerable to careerists, and often being used as cannon fodder.

In this war of public opinion, these readers were used as cannon fodder.

As the rumors spread, some of the old fritters obviously felt that the situation was not good, and began to retreat, only these stupid readers still rushed to the front.

Until the edict begins!

It wasn't until the Guards began the process, blockading Hangzhou, imposing military officers, imposing martial law on the whole city, prohibiting the people from moving around the city, and began to arrest scholars on a large scale, arrest some officials, arrest some traitors, and some people were alert, but by this time it was too late.

The emperor was angry, and millions of corpses were ambushed!

The so-called king and scholars rule the world together, but it is just talk, and whoever takes it seriously is a fool.

At this moment, the emperor appeared hideous!

"I was wronged, you can't arrest me!"

"I'm a scholar, you can't beat me!"

Some of the scholars at the party tried to resist, but they were disappointed to attract sticks and ropes. No matter how hard your scholar yells, they are all waiting for sticks and ropes.

Some officials were also arrested and imprisoned in Dali Temple.

These soldiers of the Guards who entered the city were very civilized, they had no swords and swords, they were all sticks, and they were holding strips of cloth, which only hurt people, but not killed people. In the Guards, many of them were scholars, but they just joined the Martial Arts Academy and became a member of the Martial Arts Academy. Most of the officers of the Guards were born as scholars, but at this moment, they did not show any mercy when they arrested scholars.

Just because, the emperor said that there was a chaotic party in Hangzhou, colluding with the Jin army, and wanting to do wrongs against the Great Song Dynasty. Many scholars have been deceived and want to be arrested at this moment; Some cases with serious circumstances should be severely punished; Some colluded with deep officials to be exiled......

Suddenly, the wind is roaring, the wind and rain are coming, and the whole Hangzhou has entered the cold winter wax moon! (To be continued......)
