Although Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen took Zhu Cihong out of the palace to observe the people's feelings, he walked around at will and put on a show at will.

But in fact, as early as a few days ago, Li Ruolian, the commander of Jinyiwei, and the East Factory jointly deduced all the dangers that Zhu Youzhen might encounter.

Although Nanjing City is now under Zhu Youzhen's control, from Ying Tianfu to the officers and soldiers guarding the city, as well as the Jinyi Weidong Factory around him, Zhu Youzhen's own people.

But the safety precautions that should be done should not be neglected.

Even the homeless groups and the Jiangnan common people and gentry groups that Zhu Youjian wanted to see were strictly screened to ensure that there would be no attacks.

In fact, Zhu Youzhen's original purpose in taking the prince out of the palace was not really to understand the living conditions of the people.

What he has to do now is to let the people at the bottom know the existence of him, the emperor, and what the emperor is doing through the emperor's behavior, so that the people can understand themselves and choose to believe in themselves.

This is something that cannot be done by Weifu private visits, and Zhu Youzhen is putting on a show, in order to completely defeat the bad depiction of his image as an emperor among the literati, and then seek the support of the common people, without always being restrained by the gentry.

Zhu Youzhen let everyone know that he is not only the emperor of the literati, but also the emperor of the common people, and his interests and goals are the same as those of the common people.

Zhu Youzhen took the crown prince Zhu Cihong and a group of civil and military ministers into the temporary resettlement area for the displaced people built by Ying Tianfu, and personally distributed the silver dollars that were ready to be distributed to the displaced people to an old man who was bent over his waist: "Hello old man, where are you from, how long have you been in Nanjing, but you are still used to it, it is still cold on this day, so you should pay more attention to the cold." ”

"If you go back to the emperor, the grass people are from Shanxi, and it has been almost three months since they came to Nanjing, and their son works in the ordnance station, and they can buy a house and land in Nanjing next year, and they will live well, and it will be good to settle down here."

Zhu Youzhen nodded and continued to walk forward, and as soon as he appeared at this time, he naturally became the focus of the whole Nanjing City, and the people and gentry flocked to him.

Of course, outside Zhu Youzhen, there are still Jinyi captains who are ready to block hidden arrows and hidden guns at any time, then the gentry and ordinary people in the selection office, and then the people who simply come to join in the fun and see the emperor.

Meanwhile.

Guangming Daily also began to publish articles, reporting on Zhu Youzhen's daily life of comforting the people, experiencing folk life, and listening to the people's sufferings, and at the same time, it also began to expose the corrupt life of Zhang Shenyan and others, and expose the atrocities of Zuo Liangyu and other warlords.

Even, the protégés of Gao Hongtu and Shi Kefa began to write articles criticizing Zhang Shen's wolf ambition of Zuo Liangyu.

Gao Hongtu also directly published the content of collusion with Zuo Liangyu that Zhang Shenyan had shown him in Guanghua Daily.

Huang Zongxi, in accordance with Gao Hongtu's order, began to be anxious about the atrocities of Zuo Liangyu's army in various streets of Nanjing.

At the same time, the northern scholars also began to take to the streets under the mobilization of Dongchang and criticized Chen Yan, Chen Mingxia, Hong Chengchou and others who had taken refuge in Li Zicheng and Jiannu.

The gentry and people in Jiangnan are now more and more deeply aware of what a terrible thing it will be once Zuo Liangyu attacks Jiangnan.

More and more people said that they could not allow a bandit army like Zuo Liangyu to invade Jiangnan.

When Zhang Shenyan's people intended to create public opinion, they would believe inside and outside the court that Zuo Liangyu was going to raise troops to march east in order to eliminate traitors, and his goal could not be achieved.

And because of Gao Hongtu's revelation, the people of the city found out that Zhang Shenyan and others actually colluded with Zuo Liangyu and wanted to mess up Jiangnan.

In this way, Zhang Shenyan and others naturally aroused public indignation.

By the time Zhang Shenyan was still thinking about how to deal with Guangming Daily, the discussion of inverting Zhang and criticizing the Donglin Party and the Fushe for misleading the country had begun to get hotter and hotter.

In particular, it has the support of the northern scholars and Huguang scholars who moved south, as well as the poor students and the people at the bottom.

Zhang Shenyan and others stayed in Qinhuai overnight, and the incidents of still misbehaving and openly colluding with Zuo Liangyu were exposed one after another.

Coupled with the impetus of Gao Hongtu and Shi Kefa, the scholars of the wealthy businessmen and gentry began to have to choose to follow, which made Zhang Shenyan suddenly enter an embattled situation.

When Zhang Shenyan woke up that morning, there was already a procession on the street, and the banner directly read, "Down with the traitor Zhang Shenyan!" "Zhang Shenyan, the culprit who colluded with the traitor and intended to cause trouble in Jiangnan!" etc.

At the same time, some people began to give speeches in various academies and county palaces:

"Some people slander my Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, saying that as soon as he came to Jiangnan, he would accumulate beautiful women, be lustful, cruel and cruel to the people, and slaughter loyalty!

But in fact, what did our Majesty do, exempt from forced labor and taxes, personally issue a letter to the people, and leave the palace to comfort the displaced people just after the New Year, you can go to Yonghe Street now!

And what are these officials and gentry doing, some of them have become officials of the Qing Dynasty, and some are now singing songs every night on the banks of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, but they are still talking about worrying about the country and the people.

Let's ask, who is worried about the country and the people, and who is drunk and dreaming of death! ”

"You are not allowed to insult Zhang Gong like this!

You mobs! What is there to praise a tyrant who will only flee south, who will only force the descendants of the Confucian saints to kill the gentry of Jiangnan and kill them! Everything is inferior, only reading is high, since ancient times, there is no Ming Jun who does not rule the world with literature! Look at what that tyrant has done today! Kill a lifetime for a few martial artists, because of his own anger, let Jiangnan bleed like a river! ”

Seeing this, Zhang Shenyan's disciples praised Wang Yan and Sun Zhengqiang, and directly began to argue with the scholars who supported Zhu Youzhen.

Unexpectedly, a teaching edict directly lifted a stone and smashed this Wang Yan's head:

"How dare you insult the monarch like this, have you people read all the books to the dog's stomach, what is there to be respectable about Zhang Shenyan, in addition to reciting poems, colluding with Zuo Liangyu, and wanting to be the first assistant in the world, what else can he do, martial artists can still go into battle to kill the enemy, what can a student do, in addition to taking over the lawsuit, making people lose their careers, and making big things at every turn to provoke the relationship between the government and the people! The thieves are coming, the officials of the thieves, the Tartars are coming, the officials of the Tartars, now His Majesty is going to open Enke, and he is not running to Nanjing! ”

"Those who are not at ease on the road to their careers, those who do not read with the country in mind, and those who just want to abuse the people with an identity, these so-called scholars should all be killed! I didn't learn the truth of the sage book, and I took the truth of the sage book to harm the people, ignoring the crops and business, but everyone was full of fat intestines, why is this happening, because they are eating human blood! The world is so tired, the army can't fight, the people can't live, and the emperor can't rule the world, all because this group of people has eaten up the vitality of my Ming Dynasty! ”

"Yes, shoot them, kill them!"

Zhang Shenyan's disciples and other members of the Donglin Party Restoration Society, who still wanted to maintain their leadership in the field of public opinion, began to become rats crossing the street, some had to respond to the call of Gao Hongtu and Shi Kefa to change their doors and change their views in order to survive, while others were abandoned by the world in an instant.
