Chapter 226: The Power of the Water Army
What is a Qing official?
"A clean official is a ......"
A young man dressed as a scholar shook his head and explained to the large group of people gathered around him what a Qing official was.
A clean official, of course, is a good official who does practical things for the people, does not embezzle, does not collect black money, does not bend the law with favoritism, and has a clean breeze on his sleeves, what is a clean breeze on his sleeves? Well, it's because you don't collect black money and don't be greedy for ink, so you're so poor that you are tinkling, and your life is only a little better than that of the poor people, after all, when you are an official, you have Fenglu every month, but it won't be any better, in short, life is very hard, such an official is really called a good official of Qingliu.
This scholar's acting skills are definitely at the level of an actor, not only speak eloquently, but also with facial expressions, which makes people feel immersive, all of them wipe the tears of the poor and good Qing officials, how poor the people are, it is difficult to maintain three meals a day, and the experience is of course the most profound.
"No, how did I hear different news from yours?"
When everyone was complaining about the Qingguan of the Donglin Party, an opposing voice suddenly sounded in the crowd of onlookers, which seemed so abrupt and obvious, like the white crane standing in the flock, which attracted everyone's attention at once.
"This brother, you are talking about clean officials, Xiaosheng agrees, but those people are not clean officials, but corrupt officials, big corrupt officials."
"What evidence do you have?"
Some people refuted it, and it was supported by the vast majority of the people, and the Donglin Party was still a good official in the eyes of ordinary people.
"I don't have the evidence now, but I heard that the property of those people who were confiscated is being counted, and the results will be available tomorrow, and the list will be publicized to ask for innocence."
"Okay, whether it's true or not, tomorrow you and I will meet here, Xiaosheng will wait to see the official announcement, Xiaosheng doesn't believe that Lord Qian and others will be corrupt officials."
"A word is a certainty, a high-five is an oath."
At least now, after being reminded by these enthusiastic readers, it is difficult to fool them into blindly supporting the imprisoned Donglin Party officials, at least before the government publishes a list and does not know the truth of the matter.
Zhu Jian is worried about this, if he is just a scholar, he is not worried at all, but if the people are fooled and blindly follow to make trouble, it is really a bit of a headache, so it is a very crucial step to control public opinion and occupy the commanding heights of morality.
All kinds of gossip is still spreading in the streets and alleys, the sky is getting dark, the city gates are closed later, people who have worked hard all day to make ends meet go home to eat, bathe and sleep, and some large mansions are brightly lit, not knowing what the owner is busy with.
The grange outside the city is brightly lit, and the dead wind lanterns are like stars in the night.
Through the hazy light, it can be vaguely seen that many people are standing in the fields and busy with something, looking at the clothes on their bodies, there are Jinyiwei's flying fish suits, and there are Dongchang's, they were ordered to check the land title deeds of Qian Qianyi and others outside the city overnight, this is a nuclear bomb that bombed the Donglin Party from the Qingliu altar, and it is also the truth that quickly appeases the people.
After eight families, Zhu Jian's small treasury has exploded, and now he has not counted the Donglin Party, he is now wealthy, and he should be generous.
At the gate of the palace, the palace gate has been closed, but dozens of Donglin Party officials are still kneeling on the ground, their knees are numb and unconscious, but they are all gritting their teeth and holding on, in order to save the big guys, they really let go.
In the distance, a large group of scholars knelt down in the same black pressure, among them, some of them were undergoing organizational assessment and were about to join the Donglin Party, some were Donglin fans, and some had no sect, and they were fooled by their classmates and friends, in short, they all came to support.
In front of them were two improvised fortifications filled with mud and sand, and behind the fortifications were the palace soldiers, and the soldiers of the Royal Guard Regiment were loaded with guns and ammunition, and they were murderous.
Zhu Jianjian traveled through the crowd and knew that the scholars of the Ming Dynasty had a fortune, he would not be used to these scholars, dare to cause trouble, first beat his parents until he couldn't recognize them, and then remove his fame and throw the brocade clothes to guard the prison.
Previously, there were really more than 20 people who were not afraid of death, they were disabled by the palace soldiers, and their fame was removed on the spot, and the Jinyi guards dragged people away like dead dogs, and after killing them by thunderous means, these menacing scholars began to calm down, except for kneeling in protest, no one dared to make trouble.
They worked hard for ten years to study hard, in order to gain fame, sell to the emperor's family, glorify their ancestors, not to make trouble, if they are removed from their fame, this life will really be over, and there are really few who dare to joke about their own future, so they can only protest calmly and demand justice, they do not believe that the arrested Donglin Party bigwigs colluded with thieves and intended to rebel.
"Ouch, Lord Wang has fainted, carry it down."
Kneeling for a long time is a physical work, and people with poor physique can't bear it for long, and several old and frail officials can't hold it and faint on the ground.
Under the command of an old eunuch, several young eunuchs stepped forward to lift the fainted officials to the side, fed them tea with sweat medicine, and several old palace maids served full-time, carefully covering these officials and men with quilts to prevent them from catching a cold.
There are more than N people outside the palace who don't sleep, and Ye Tian in the palace is sleeping soundly, in fact, he was strongly stimulated by the central nervous system due to excitement, nervousness and other reasons, and he also couldn't sleep, so he had to toss Tian Guifei, and he was also tired before he fell asleep.
There are also more than a dozen young men and women in the children's camp led by Yan Tienan and Tang Tiantian, who gathered in the room of the eldest sister Yan Tienan, chattering and talking, looking extremely lively and excited.
There was such a big movement, and the whole city knew about it, Yan Tienan and Tang Tiantian used the excuse of visiting their godmother, entered the palace to inquire about the news, pestered Wang Chengen, and learned a lot of inside information, and held a small meeting after returning to the camp.
The two women are extreme, their thinking is out-of-the-box, and they are bent on doing something to help their godfather share their worries and solve problems, even if they can't do big things, they can do small things, on the way back to the camp, they have already thought about how to do it, how can such a lively thing be without them.
"Sister Iron Man, ...... like this Not good...... What if the father-in-law gets angry? A little shy little boy shouted.
"No, we're doing things for our father-in-law, don't forget, we're still kids." Yan Tienan said with a smile blinking.
"Stupid, we have to be good at using our strengths." Tang Tiantian directly gave the shy boy a popcorn, and her movements were inversely proportional to her gentle and sweet appearance.
The shy boy shrunk his neck and covered his head, his face was swollen red, but he didn't dare to squeak, the most afraid of the whole boy camp was this little evil star with an angel face, but ruthless, the only one who could stop her was the eldest sister Yan Tienan.
"This matter is settled, you, you, and a few of you, go back and get ready, and leave tomorrow morning." Yan Tienan put on the prestige of the eldest sister's head, and pointed at some young men and women in the room with her index finger, she picked all the companions who were similar in age to her and had good martial arts practice, and the last ones were two men and a woman, only six or seven years old, but under her influence, they were much more clever than ordinary peers.
"Yes." All the boys and girls in the room stood up, raised their hands in unison, and their movements were uniform, obviously after a certain amount of rigorous training, quite a bit of the majesty of modern soldiers.
